Subject: Repealing Resolution No. 2025-04, and Approving the City of Hughson 2025-2026 Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act, Local Streets and Roads Annual Reporting Program Project List Enclosure: Local Streets and Roads Annual Reporting Program Project List Presented By: Carla C. Jauregui, Community Development Director Approved By: ____________________________
City Manager
Recommended Council Action:
Adopt Resolution No.2025-19, repealing Resolution 2025-04, and approving the City of Hughson 2025-2026 Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act, Local Streets and Roads Annual Reporting Program Project List.
Background and Overview:
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017. SB 1 establishes the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRP) to address the significant deferred maintenance funding shortfall on the State’s transportation system. The bill provides that funding shall be used for projects that include, but are not limited to:
- Road maintenance and rehabilitation
- Safety projects
- Railroad grade separations
- Complete street components
- Traffic control devices
SB 1 specifies the annual allocation of funds for several transportation programs listed in the bill. The remaining RMRA revenues will be split 50/50 between the state highway and local streets maintenance and rehabilitation. SB 1 continuously appropriates the RMRA revenues to cities and counties using the same formula that applies to the existing base 18- cent per gallon gasoline excise tax.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO 3.3
SECTION 3: CONSENT CALENDAR
19 If a city has a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score of 80 or higher, it may spend the funds on other transportation priorities. As of June 2022, the City of Hughson’s PCI was 79.
However, the City through Measure L funding will be completing the 2023 Pavement Preservation Project, which entails slurry sealing the majority of the city’s 28.1 centerline miles of roadways. Phase I of this work has been completed, and Phase II is tentatively scheduled to be completed before the end of 2025. Once completed the PCI average score will be 87.
The City currently has $721,020.22. in SB 1 RMRA fund balance. Of the fund balance, the City has received $104,923.24 during the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year. The City anticipates receiving approximately $192,359.26 in funding during Fiscal Year 2025-2026 based on the average of $17,487.20 received in the past 8 months.
City staff are proposing to continue the use of SB 1 Funds for the design and engineering of the Whitmore Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project, from east of Tully Road to Charles Street, and the Whitmore Resurfacing Project from Santa Fe to Euclid. The design and engineering for the Whitmore Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project, from east of Tully Road to Charles Street, will cost an estimated $200,000. The Whitmore Resurfacing Project has an estimated cost of approximately $500,000, however, the timing of completion is dependent upon the water consolidation project that will be running a water line to Geer Road and the proposed Railroad Expansion Project. This project is currently in the design phase and is progressively moving forward.
SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Hughson are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. A project list is attached to the Resolution and has been submitted to Caltrans.
Fiscal Impact:
Revenue and corresponding expenditures from the SB 1 (RMRP) program are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget. Funding received each year will be included in the City’s annual budget process.

Case Number: 25-06C
June 25, 2025
SUMMARY
In 2024 the Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury received a complaint concerning the administration of funds at StanCOG. Recent excessive turnover of over 50% has led to late payments made to our local agencies of Measure L funds, as well as late reports to public agencies and being delinquent in completion of its annual single audit. We believe all of the above have major implications and all have merit.
The purpose and duty of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) like the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is to cooperate with regional cities and the county to pursue funding from the state via Caltrans, federal transportation funding, and grants with the intent to build, improve, and repair our means of transit, including roads, bicycle lanes, trains, buses, and the like.
StanCOG has proven over the years to be an effective MPO in its interactions at the local, state, and federal levels. Where it has shown to be less effective is in the management of the organization. It has policy manuals for its planning and transportation departments and policies for its finance department, but none for the Administrative Services department.
Rather the administrative policies are scattered throughout the policies of the aforementioned departments and an Employee Handbook seemingly developed for the benefit of the Executive Director and other senior management.
In 2017, StanCOG amended its Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to remove all county oversight, which was well before the citizen complaint of 2024 that triggered this investigation. Stanislaus County employees, even at the highest level, must reimburse the county if they exceed spending limitations, even less than one dollar. This is how closely the county oversees its employees. Conversely, StanCOG has no effective oversight within their organization. This has led to excessive charges made by the Executive Director on the StanCOG credit card for travel, lodging, and meals, all of which are borne by the taxpayers.
Lack of external oversight by Stanislaus County Treasurer and Auditor-Controller that was 34 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 68
previously in the JPA prior to 2017 has led to a poorly functioning organization. StanCOG’s internal oversight has been weak under the guidance of the Executive Director.
It is difficult to expect transparency and stability in a chaotic environment like the one that exists at StanCOG. It should come as no surprise then, that as the Jury examined receipts and credit card charges, administrative discrepancies, questionable legal advice from their general counsel, and analyzed high employee turnover, that significant and meaningful concerns were discovered.

BACKGROUND
The Operations of StanCOG
The Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is a council of city and county governments comprised of the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock, Waterford, and the County of Stanislaus that was established in 1971 by a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to address regional transportation issues. Members of the Policy Board, the primary governing entity, are comprised of Mayors, Councilmembers, and Supervisors. Additionally, there is a designated Public Transportation Provider representative that operates public transit and a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) representative as an "ex-officio" member on the Policy Board.
StanCOG is the MPO for the Stanislaus region, and as a federally mandated transportation policy-making organization; it is responsible for planning and prioritizing transportation projects in urbanized areas with populations greater than 50,000. The MPO creates and governs a short-range, four-year program of transportation designated by the federal government to receive funding that is channeled to and distributed through StanCOG known as the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) throughout the region. After the November 2016 General Election, StanCOG amended their JPA to become a sales tax authority when Measure L was adopted by county voters. This amendment also removed financial oversight by the Stanislaus County Treasurer and Auditor-Controller and assigned it to the StanCOG Financial Manager.
The Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) is a state-designated regional transportation planning agency for the Stanislaus County region and prescribed by law to have lead responsibility for the development of the region's transportation plans and to coordinate the transportation planning process as designated by the State of California and the Local Transportation Authority (LTA), i.e. the Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority or StaRT.
Combined, the MPO/RTPA/LTA is an essential public organization working with local governments and residents in its region by addressing issues and needs that cross city and county boundaries such as public transportation, transportation funding, transportation planning, transportation projects and studies, and transportation modeling/mapping/demographics.
StanCOG maintains a Transportation Model to assist decision makers with questions about travel patterns, transportation investments, land use decisions and matters regarding air quality. The StanCOG Transportation Model Program supports key planning activities in the region including the Regional Transportation Plan, Air Quality Conformity Analysis, the 36 Transportation and Funding for the People:

Congestion Management Program, the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint and other regional transportation planning studies, general plans, land use and traffic impact studies.
In a Brookings Institute study, published in May 2011, Modesto ranked 10th among the nation’s top one hundred metropolitan areas for how well households are connected to jobs via transit. Four transit operators currently provide public transit service to the Stanislaus region.
a) Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StaRT)
i) StaRT StanRTA operates thirty-two fixed route transit services, intercity shuttle services, Commuter Shuttles, Median Service, as well as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary Paratransit. A large portion of StanRTA's service area is located within the Modesto-Ceres-Turlock area along California State Route 99; however, they also provide exclusive service to the more rural areas in the region and other areas outside the city limits. b) Turlock Transit
i) The City of Turlock operates Turlock Transit which offers both fixed route and Dial-A-Ride services.
c) Commuter rail
i) Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) commuter train that runs between Stockton and San Jose with stations in Stockton, Lathrop-Manteca, Tracy, and various stops in the San Francisci Bay Area,
ii) The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) has trains running from Dublin-Pleasanton to various Bay Area locations. Commuters can drive, carpool or vanpool, or take commuter buses to BART,
iii) Amtrak is a train that runs through the San Joaquin Valley and throughout the United States,
d) MOVE, the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency CTSA is a train that runs through the San Joaquin Valley and throughout the United States.
StanCOG also serves as the Abandoned Vehicle Authority (AVA) as designated by the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors. It receives funding from the State Department of Motor Vehicles, with a surcharge of one dollar per vehicle registered in Stanislaus County, at the time of registration, renewal, or when renewal becomes delinquent, except on vehicles that are expressly exempted from the payment of registration fees to fund the abandoned vehicle abatement program. These fees are deposited in the Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund (AVTF) administered by the state Department of Public Works (DPW).
Measure L, the Transportation Ordinance and Expenditure Plan was approved by Stanislaus County voters on November 8, 2016. The measure raised the sales tax in 37 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 71
Stanislaus County starting on April 1, 2017, by one-half cent for a total period of twentyfive years to improve local streets and roads, improve connectivity, and reduce congestion.
The JPA maintaining StanCOG is a vital and essential organization coordinating all issues of transportation.
METHODOLOGY
The process of using written and approved policies as a foundation for the findings during the investigation of StanCOG
The Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury (SCCGJ) received a citizen complaint in March of 2024 pointing out that StanCOG was delinquent in its financial reports and was on track to be delinquent with the upcoming Single Audit. Additionally, the complainant suggested there was a high rate of employee turnover in the last two to three years that deserved examination. The audit in question was examined by the jury’s Financial Oversight Committee, which confirmed there were findings of material weaknesses in StanCOG’s financial processes, as well as a high rate of employee turnover.
The jury considered its jurisdiction, the organization’s responsibilities, and the parameters of the complaint and found it to be within the scope of the jury’s authority. Thus, the SCCGJ initiated an investigation of StanCOG on October 30, 2024.
The jury began its investigation with interviews of current and past employees and requested documents including policy manuals, the Executive Director’s most recent contract, and the current amended JPA of 2017.
StanCOG is governed by a decision-making body of sixteen elected officials from StanCOG’s member agencies called the Policy Board. This includes five representatives from the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, three representatives from the Modesto City Council, and one representative from each of the other eight City Councils in Stanislaus County. Within the Policy Board is an Executive Committee of five members (two County Supervisors, one from the City of Modesto and two from cities chosen by the Policy Board).
As of this writing the Policy Board is chaired by the County Supervisor representing County District 1.
According to the Policy Board bylaws, the Policy Board chair shall perform such other duties as necessary to carry out the work of the Policy Board such as:
• Review and accept the annual audit

• Authorize administrative expenses for travel, lodging, meals, education and training including seminars and conferences
• Hear grievance process appeals
• Act as hearing official for an employee termination and may act as the final authority of an employee termination
• Annually review and evaluate the performance of the Executive Director • Review, negotiate, and develop a new contract between the StanCOG Policy Board (employer) and the Executive Director (employee) every three years Administrative Policies and Procedures
The Rules
StanCOG provided the Jury with the StanCOG Policy Board Bylaws, the Executive Director’s most recent contract, the Employee Handbook, and the manuals of the Finance Department. The Stanislaus County Freedom of Information department provided the most current amended JPA at our request. We reviewed all of the documents prior to initiating our interviews beginning with the Executive Director’s contract. The three-year contract for the Executive Director was entered into on February 16, 2024, by and between the Stanislaus Council of Governments, a JPA organized under the laws of the State of California, and hereinafter called “Employer,” and the Executive Director hereinafter called “Employee” and is effective August 19, 2024.
After studying the contract, the Jury concluded that the word “Employee” was intended by the Policy Board to include the Executive Director. The Executive Director as both an official and employee is obligated to follow the travel and expenses policy for elected and appointed officials as well as the employee travel and expenses policy in the StanCOG Accounting Policies Manual, Section 9. There is no discussion of travel and expenses or how to apply for reimbursement in the StanCOG Employee Handbook. The evidence suggests that she is bound by all of the same rules as any other employee of StanCOG.
The following is a list of StanCOG policies reviewed and cited during the investigation of StanCOG, the Executive Director, and her management team:
• StanCOG JPA last amended November 13, 2018
• Executive Director Employment Contract February 16, 2024 • StanCOG Policy for travel and expenses for elected and appointed officials • Accounting Policies updated on 06/01/21
39 Transportation and Funding for the People:

• Accounting Policies Section 9: travel expenses and employee reimbursements, updated version (created after a $25,000 investigation into the travel expenses of StanCOG on August 13, 2024)
• Accounting procedures updated April 5, 2022
• StanCOG Employee Policies and Procedures Handbook adopted on November 17, 2021 (otherwise known as the Employee Handbook)
• StanCOG Policy Board bylaws
StanCOG and all other California JPAs and special districts are bound by California Penal Code §925a, which authorizes a civil grand jury access to examine the books and records of any incorporated city or JPA agency located in the county at any time with or without cause. We pursued obtaining more documents while expanding our interviews to more than a dozen witnesses who have been involved with the organization. Initially, we were partially or wholly denied documents for most of our requests. The policies and documents requested were primarily from the Financial Services department which dictates StanCOG employees “shall exercise prudent judgement and show proper discretion for accountable and economic use of public funds”. The existing policies covered authorization and reimbursement for transportation, lodging, meals, and credit card use by StanCOG employees.
The StanCOG Policy Board set forth the travel and expenses reimbursement policies for StanCOG on June 21, 2021, in the Accounting Policies Manual, Section 9, which “promotes and endeavors to protect public resources and foster public trust in the use of those resources, as well as comply with state law requirements regarding reimbursement of expenses.” The following paraphrases the authorized expenses:
1. All anticipated conferences, conventions and professional meetings shall be budgeted for the current operating budget.
2. Expenses incurred in the connection of the following types of activities which generally constitute authorized expenses as long as the other requirements of this policy are met:
a. Communicating with representatives of local, regional, state, and national government on StanCOG adopted policy positions
b. Attending educational seminars designed to improve officials’ skill and information levels
c. Participating in local, regional, state and national organizations whose activities affect StanCOG interests
d. Recognizing service to StanCOG
e. Attending StanCOG events
40 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 74
f. Meetings such as those listed above for which meeting stipend is expressly authorized.
3. All other expenditures require prior approval by StanCOG.
The following paraphrases the description of expenses for transportation, lodging and meals are those that require prior budgeting and approval by the Policy Board.
Transportation
1. Airfares that are reasonable and economical shall be eligible for purposes of reimbursement.
2. Car Rental rates that are reasonable and economical shall be eligible for purposes of reimbursement.
3. Taxis or shuttle fares may be reimbursed, including a 15% gratuity per fare, when the cost of such fares is equal or less than the cost of rentals, gasoline and parking combined, or when transportation is necessary for efficiency.
Lodging
Lodging expenses will be reimbursed or paid for when travel on official StanCOG business reasonably requires an overnight stay. If such lodging is in connection with a conference, lodging expenses must not exceed the group rate published by the conference sponsor for the meeting in question if such are available at the time of booking.
Meals
A local reimbursement policy identifying a “per diem” of reasonable rates for meals was not adopted by the Policy Board. Receipts for expenses for meals shall be required. Actual expenses shall be reimbursed subject to maximum per diem for meals as set in the IRS rate in effect at the time of the meal.
The policy update of August 13, 2024, for Section 9 of the Accounting Policies was created in response to a written complaint and a Policy Board-initiated $25,000 investigation regarding credit card charges of rental cars by the Executive Director of StanCOG. The Jury was only made aware of the investigation during an interview; the investigation was kept confidential and not reported to the public. The following are enhancements to the original policy:
41 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 75
• StanCOG employees shall receive prior approval from their supervisor for all hotel and lodging expenses. A Travel Authorization Form shall be completed by the employee prior to making any hotel or lodging arrangements. The supervisor shall review and authorize the travel request. The Travel Authorization Form will be attached to any reimbursement request or credit card receipts for the trip. Financial Services shall document that the expenditure is a “prudent and economic use of public funds”.
• An Expense Reimbursement Form must be signed by the employee and approved by the supervisor. In-county meals are allowable when in conjunction with a StanCOG business meeting for agency purposes.
• StanCOG employees shall receive prior approval from their supervisor for all airfare and car rental expenses. A Travel Authorization Form shall be completed by the employee prior to making any flight or rental car arrangements. The supervisor shall review and authorize the travel request.
Section 9 of the Accounting Policies (updated August 13, 2024) covering travel expenses and Employee Reimbursements states in detail the expenses not authorized by the Policy Board.
• The personal portion of any trip.
• Family expenses, including partner’s expenses when accompanying an official on agency-related business, as well as children or pet-related expenses. • Entertainment expenses, including theater, movies (either in room or at the theater, sporting events, including gym, massage and/or golf-related expenses), or other cultural events.
• Alcohol/personal bar expenses.
• Personal losses incurred while on StanCOG business.
Once all of the required forms have been completed, they are submitted to the StanCOG Finance FS I/II employee who oversees and verifies that finance received a signed Travel Authorization Form by the manager of the employee.
The Financial Services division uses the term “reconciliation” when credit card statements are matched with itemized receipts received at the moment of purchase. The Missing Receipt Form is used if it is not possible to request a lost, damaged, or missing receipt from the original vendor. These must accompany an authorized Travel Authorization Form.
Then, the StanCOG FS I/II employee processes the credit card transactions into a spreadsheet. If there are any missing receipts that cannot be requested from the vendor, finance requires a detailed and signed Missing Receipt Form. 42 Transportation and Funding for the People:

DISCUSSION
The Who, What, Where, When, and Why
This section of the report is separated into four areas. First will be the fiscal abuse and evident lack of adherence to policy by the upper management of StanCOG. The next will be the organization and administration of StanCOG. Third is the establishment and implementation of employee salaries and vacation. The final area will be the high employee turnover leading to discrepancies of allocated funds to cities for their transportation projects.
This investigation’s roots lie in the amended JPA of 2017 which is well before the citizen complaint of 2024. With the “declared“ JPA, “on January 26, 2017, and on March 15, 2017, the StanCOG Policy Board approved the amendment of the JPA and Bylaws designating the StanCOG Financial Services Director or his/her designee, as the Auditor-Controller and Treasurer of StanCOG.” From this moment on there was no outside oversight of StanCOG other than periodic external audits required by state and federal agencies. The most frequent of these, and the one accessible to the public, is the annual external Single Audit of financial statements.
StanCOG provided the Jury with the StanCOG Policy Board Bylaws and the Executive Director’s most recent contract. The Jury subsequently concluded that the definition in the contract of the word “Employee” is attributed to the Executive Director by the Policy Board.
Thus the Executive Director is obligated to follow both the rules of the travel and expenses for elected and appointed officials policy as well as employee travel and expenses policy in the StanCOG Accounting Policies Manual, Section 9. There is no discussion about travel and expenses or how to apply for reimbursement in the Employee Handbook.
It is difficult to expect transparency and stability in a chaotic environment like the one that exists at StanCOG. It should come as no surprise then, that as the Jury examined the receipts and credit card charges, administrative discrepancies, questionable legal advice from their general counsel, and high employee turnover, significant and meaningful concerns were discovered.

The Facts
Rampant and Lavish Spending
Rental Cars
To begin with, the Jury reviewed credit card statements and receipts for the Executive Director’s credit card for a sample seven-month period. During this time frame, 62 transactions were missing receipts. A single month had a high of nineteen missing receipts.
During the seven months examined, 15% of all spending lacked itemized receipts, totaling more than $10,000 of missing receipts. We recently learned that there are no hotel or restaurant receipts for Jan 2020-Feb 2020, Jul 2022-Sep 2023, and May 2024 to present.
Going back five years, lists of missing receipts by the Executive Director were commonplace and remains an ongoing problem.
For context, in 2014 the Modesto Bee reported an audit by the Auditor-Controller’s Office of the District Attorney which found only seven missing receipts over one year, all for the same trip, and totaling $1400. The DA’s office found some of the missing receipts, yet this was still noted as a significant concern by the Auditor-Controller’s office, the Modesto Bee, and residents.
After reviewing subpoenaed documents from Enterprise Auto Rental and the Jury’s discovery of a Policy Board-initiated $25,000 investigation of the Executive Director’s lavish spending, the Jury determined the Executive Director drove in rented cars virtually non-stop from mid-2021 to the end of 2024 at a cost of more than $100,000. During this 3 ½ year period, there were only forty days when the Executive Director did not have a rental car from the Elk Grove Enterprise rental office. According to policy, rental vehicles are only to be used for long-distance meetings outside of the county. The Executive Director resides in San Joaquin County and is “very busy,” which seems to be a justification for traveling from Stockton to the Elk Grove Enterprise Auto Rental office, essentially using the rental as a commute vehicle from Stockton (home) to Elk Grove (Enterprise) to Modesto (work) and back to Stockton (home).
The Executive Director’s rental history shows that more than half of local rental days from 2018 to 2024 were in elite, premium, and luxury vehicles, such as a BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Executive Director claimed that these high-end rentals were free upgrades and not at her request. However, in November 2020, notes on Enterprise’s internal documentation, obtained directly from Enterprise, state that the Executive Director will no longer be offered cars above their intermediate class. Any higher category rentals must be charged at full price, with no government discount. Nonetheless, 95% of the Executive Director’s rental days from December 2020 to December 2024 were in cars classified above intermediate class.

Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 78
The mileage on these rental cars was greater than what one would expect for travel within the central valley. There were no entries in the Executive Director’s calendar to account for this amount of driving. In one of the most egregious examples, from December 16, 2023 to January 17, 2024, one month in total, the car was driven for 7,081 miles. That is more than the distance from San Francisco to New York City and back.
It should be noted that none of the Enterprise documents include any additional drivers on any of these rentals.
Other internal Enterprise notes state that phone calls to the Executive Director often went unanswered and the voicemail box was full. Emails and texts were also sent. This lack of communication was significant such that Enterprise began the paperwork necessary to repossess the vehicle four times. The cars were not repossessed because she finally responded to their many attempts at communication. The internal notes also state that the email for Enterprise receipts was changed from an official StanCOG email to a private Yahoo email address as early as August 2023.
Vehicles rented in California were not returned prior to out-of-state trips, and some of these trips included a rental car. That means that the Executive Director was renting two cars at the same time. Between 2022-2025, of fifteen trips with rental cars at the destination, there was also a local rental car still out in every circumstance. Some of these trips used Uber rides as well. Worse yet, in one instance, while the Executive Director was on a foreign cruise, the taxpayers were paying Enterprise for a Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport for two weeks sitting in California.
The rental cars usage was in addition to the Executive Director’s annual $4800 stipend for use of a personal vehicle for StanCOG business, as per her contract.
The Executive Director’s calendar, as presented to us, lacks documentation of the required meetings, conferences, seminars, etc. While there are notations in her calendar of various employee’s time-off requests, the calendar does not have any of the Executive Director’s time off noted, including the aforementioned two-week foreign cruise in September 2023.
Flights
Many witnesses had concerns about upgraded and first-class flights taken by and purchased at the direction of the Executive Director, including those for certain Policy Board Members. On one occasion, six people traveled to Washington, D.C.: four board members’ flights cost $1000 for each round trip, while a councilmember from Modesto and the Executive Director had slightly different flight times and upgrades which cost $2000 for each round trip.
45 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 79
A separate round trip taken by that same Modesto councilmember to Detroit had two layovers and somehow cost $4000.
In one instance, a Policy Board member was shocked to discover that a first-class roundtrip flight had been purchased on his behalf. The Jury was informed that in a closed-door office, he loudly confronted the Executive Director about these purchases, how inappropriate they are, and how inappropriate they look to the taxpayers. He demanded the flights be rebooked as economy class. It was too late to rebook the flight, so he wrote a personal check to the organization to pay for the flight, after verbally warning the Executive Director to never do it again. The excessive cost of subsequent flights and myriad upcharges which seem to be upgrades suggests that this wasteful behavior continued.
On February 27, 2024, flights for a Seattle trip were booked for the Executive Director.
These same flights were also booked for the Executive Director’s spouse at a cost of $614.58. When questioned about these purchases, the Director of Administrative Services stated the spouse’s flights were fraudulent, and that StanCOG was in contact with the credit card company.
These charges were credited back to the card on January 16, 2025, nearly a year later and only after the SCCGJ investigation began. The next month, the bank reversed the provisional credit and the $614.58 was rebilled to the card. In such instances StanCOG would be required to assist the bank with its investigation. StanCOG provided no evidence that the Executive Director reimbursed the organization for these charges.
The Executive Director and her spouse also flew on August 12, 2022, to Las Vegas on Southwest Airlines, which was booked on August 9th for a cost of $71 per person.
The Executive Director chose to fly from Sacramento, with a layover in Los Angeles, to Monterey for a conference (which will be discussed in greater depth later on). The drive would have been faster, especially since the taxpayers were already paying for the rental of a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300.
Hotels
It must be stated that the Executive Director and the Director of Administrative Services have signed most of the documentation for the receipts, missing receipts, and credit card statements. The Jury was provided with no evidence that the Director of Administrative Services was officially acting as the Financial Services Manager/Director, as the Jury was refused access to the employee’s file. Former finance employees informed the Jury that the documentation for the Executive Director’s expenses was frequently withheld until the last minute for other submissions and audits. The only other people to see these receipts were 46 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 80
the Executive Assistants and Executive Analyst. Witnesses allege that one Executive Assistant was fired for questioning these receipts.
Contrary to the Director of Administrative Service’s assertions, many hotel rentals were at non-conference hotels, and the rates were vastly higher than what the conference hotels charged. The Executive Director’s credit card was used to book hotel stays at Ritz-Carlton Hotels in five cities, with charges exceeding $33,000.

Furthermore, the cost of the Ritz-Carlton D.C. was double the cost of the host hotels. At a Washington D.C. conference in February 2024, hotel rates at the host hotel, Hyatt Capitol Hill, were $309 a night, compared to the Ritz-Carlton’s rate of $600 per night. For the March 2024 WTS Symposium also in Washington D.C., she stayed at the Ritz-Carlton D.C. for $600 a night while the conference at Marriott Capitol Hill was $289 a night. The itemized receipts, when provided, often also include room service. For at least one RitzCarlton Washington D.C. stay booked for a board member, only the confirmation was provided, not the itemized receipt. The prices on the receipt and the credit card charge were not the same.
47 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 81
The same credit card was used at other luxury hotels such as the Hotel del Coronado and Vespera on Ocean. There were other conferences nearby, and after analyzing a random sample of these conferences’ social media, it was determined that the hotel hosting the conference was advertising they still had rooms available when the luxury reservations were made. This means that the Executive Director had the ability to book the lower cost rooms.
Some of these reservations included one for policy board members, such as the aforementioned Ritz-Carlton DC stays for a Modesto councilmember.
Mobility21 is a one-day seminar on mobility and transportation issues often hosted at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. The Executive Director stayed on property for this seminar at least twice. Inasmuch as the receipts provided for this trip were not receipts but hotel confirmations, there is not even evidence of a final itemized bill other than receipts for a Disney gift shop purchase and restaurant bill. Conversely, there is no calendar entry for a one-night stay at the Disney resort in Orlando, Walt Disney World on August 3, 2021, nor any receipt.
While attending the National Association of Regional Councils Executive Directors Conference (NARC) in Idaho in October 2023, the Executive Director arrived two days prior to the conference. There was an extended stay for directors to have additional conference training; however, the conference program states that the director’s extended stay was for two days after the conference. The Jury was unable to determine why the Executive Director arrived two days early, which included a rental car for only these early two days.
Meals and Restaurants
Most folks in the public and private sectors can agree that a good deal of work can be accomplished during a meal, and there is an ethical way to do this. However, most meal receipts submitted to the Jury were only the total charge receipt which is improper. Policy requires itemized bills/receipts which include each item ordered, notations on the meeting/conference/purpose, who was there, and how many were served. No alcohol can be included in the purchase.
The Brown Act encourages public participation in public meetings, requiring proper and timely announcement for the public, and prohibits meetings that reach a quorum.
Interpretations of the Brown Act must favor public access to meetings of officials. There are exceptions for larger gatherings like ribbon cuttings, festivals, parades, conferences, and the like. The Executive Director sits on many boards local, regional, and across the state.
The StanCOG Policy Board is particularly large, at sixteen members. So, when a receipt is marked “board meeting” with no itemized receipt to allow us to count the entrees, no 48 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 82
handwritten notes regarding who was in attendance, and no notes about what was discussed, citizens should be suspicious of the purpose of such meetings.
Most meal receipts submitted to the Jury were only the credit card slip, lacking the itemized bill which is required by policy to assure that food costs were reasonable, no alcohol was purchased, and to document how many attendees were served. The receipts are labeled with the meeting, conference, or other purpose, and little else. Therefore, all receipts that were labeled as “meetings” and in excess of the IRS per diem rate, and/or a total over $280, (a quorum is eight people for a board of sixteen), have the potential to be a violation of the Brown Act. And if they are not a violation of the Brown Act, these expensive receipts could be an expensive and wanton abuse of public funds, with few people eating very expensive dinners at fancy steak and seafood establishments. And these receipts might still include purchases for spouses or friends, which is disallowed. Since 2020, fortytwo receipts are more than $280, and as high as almost $1500, none of which are the required itemized bills, with two receipts missing outright, all for a total more than $21,100 in possible Brown Act violations.
At the aforementioned conference in Monterey, the CalCOG Regional Leaders Forum began on February 7th and ended midday February 9th. The Executive Director attended, including one board member. The first night, they dined at the Chart House restaurant and spent $790. The conference hosted “A Night at the Aquarium,” a $200 per person reception-style dinner from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. After that, they went to the Sardine Factory for a $565 dinner. The total for food alone on this three day/two-night trip was more than $2200 for two known people. Additionally, the $1290 hotel receipt is missing and there is no line entry for this receipt on the Missing Receipts Form for this month.
Conferences and Notable Expenditures
The Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director of Planning, and a board member attended the NARC Annual Conference from February 10-14, 2024. The only documentation for the Modesto City Council/StanCOG Policy Board member’s Ritz-Carlton hotel room is a confirmation, not a receipt, and the confirmation does not match the credit card statement. While the paperwork for the Executive Director’s credit card is difficult to parse in every instance, on this occasion, we can see that the Deputy Director’s paperwork is impeccable and largely aligns with the StanCOG policies and procedures, including itemized receipts and travel authorization. The Executive Director’s credit card indicates a visit to Joe’s Seafood, where the credit card receipt specifies that there are only two guests with a total bill of $226. The Executive Director and the Modesto City Council/StanCOG Policy Board member took an Uber Black on the same day and time that the Deputy Director took a standard Uber, with the same starting and ending destinations, and arriving 49 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 83
at the same time, which makes the extra Uber ride redundant. Furthermore, the Uber Black cost $45 while the standard only cost $16.
Less than a month later, the Executive Director and the Modesto City Council/StanCOG Policy Board member returned to Washington DC, staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to attend the 2024 WTS Symposium at the Washington Mariott Capitol Hill held on March 7th and 8th. Other than Uber rides to and from the conference hotel, there is scant evidence that the Executive Director or board member attended the symposium, except for a single official event photo of the Executive Director. Over 350 photos were taken by the official event photographer of both the presenters and the audience for the event. The event was held in a single modest conference room with a capacity for approximately 150 people, with no more than 80 people in the room at any time. The Executive Director checked out of the Ritz-Carlton on March 10, two days after the symposium; there are no other calendar appointments during this period.
Other concerning credit card charges include, but are not limited to the following:
• A “laptop bag” that was purchased to replace her damaged personal carryon on one of her trips. The receipt for the bag shows it was purchased at a Southern California outlet mall. The bag was a Tumi rolling carry-on suitcase, discount priced at over $560, plus a $19 cord pouch and $165 noted only as accessories. • More than $1900 over seven months in recurring charges to scam companies, likely the result of credit card skimming (an electronic method of stealing credit card information). The false charges continued for eight months and were never challenged with the credit card company for business entities such as “Outstanding Magnificent,” “Stable Unvarying Even,” and “Systematic Handy Suite.” • An Uber ride in Euros coinciding with a personal vacation to Europe. • More than $400 in charges for a pontoon boat rental during a conference. This was not listed as an event in the conference program.
• Several scanned receipts were folded over obscuring the description of the items purchased.
• A $600 United Airlines Annual VIP Lounge Access Pass.
In comparison, in 2004 it was reported by the Modesto Bee that the CEO of Stanislaus County spent taxpayer money on the luxuries of expensive hotels, fancy meals, and massages for him and a companion. He forfeited $20,000 of his backpay for the personal expenses he charged. The parallels of that situation and StanCOG are unmistakable. This event was scandalous and a betrayal of the people’s trust and a waste of taxes. He resigned his office and reimbursed the county in part for the unauthorized expenses. 50 Transportation and Funding for the People:

Administrative Acrobatics
Bending the rules in unexpected ways
This section of the report addresses the administration of StanCOG. The Jury’s first request for documents was on October 14, 2024, and as of this date many of our requests have been honored if the requested documents could be found. One of our first requests was for the operating manuals of the Finance Services Department and Administrative Services. From what we are able to glean from the documents, Administrative Services is a one-person department operated and supervised by the Director of Administration. We received the Accounting Policies and the Procedures Manuals for the Finance Services Department. HR submitted no manual or central repository of policies. We resubmitted a second request to Administrative Services and received the Employee Handbook (adopted November 17, 2021). In the Introduction to the Handbook, the employee is informed, “the handbook is intended to help employees become acquainted with StanCOG…and describing in general terms, some of the employment guidelines, and is designed to be a working guide for employees and supervisors in the day-to-day administration of StanCOG”.
Indeed, it is a general handbook, so general in fact that there is no mission statement or code of ethics as is typical with most organizations. These are not stated in either the Employee Handbook or on its website. The introduction discusses Equal Opportunity Employment, at will employment, and its policy on harassment, discrimination, and retaliation.
The following are statements from former employees recorded during interviews regarding the Executive Director’s behaviors and tactics:
• She screams at individual staff members in the hallway. • She singles out staff members for humiliation at staff meetings. • She tells staff members they are stupid both publicly and privately. • She instructs individuals what to do one day and changes those directions the next. • She demands that internal communications are to be in-person or on the phone only, no emails or texts. On occasion, this lack of documentation was followed with contradictory orders in the immediate subsequent days.
• She resorts to name-calling and demeaning staff.
• She focuses on punishment rather than training.
• She makes openly hostile statements to and about staff members. • She divulges protected information about individuals in their personnel records. • She creates false narratives about a member of staff or manager and relays those narratives to other staff.
• She makes threats or issues write-ups for responsibilities that were beyond the scope of that person’s position description.
51 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 85
• Staff walk on “eggshells” to avoid upsetting the Executive Director. • Staff are instructed not to speak to any of the policy board members for any reason outside of regular public meetings.
• Staff are shamed for researching facts or figures for accuracy in lieu of their immediate recall, including telling people to “use your head.” • An employee’s achievement did not reduce the potential for verbal assault. • She orders and enacts secrecy and division among staff and management. • She discourages collegiality and tells staffers not to socialize outside of work. • She reminds staff and management that they are “at-will” employees and can be fired at any time.
• Members of staff admitted to crying in and out of office, having nightmares, and seeking therapy and medication, all unique to their tenure with StanCOG.
In Article 6 of the Handbook Section 6.1.2, the rules of conduct are as follows: “Employees are expected to observe certain standards of job performance and conduct. When performance or conduct does not meet StanCOG standards, StanCOG will endeavor, when it deems appropriate, to provide the employee reasonable opportunity to correct the deficiency.”
Section 6.1.4 states, “StanCOG will not tolerate harassment of its employees, by managers, supervisors, co-workers or other persons with whom StanCOG employees have a business, service, or professional relationship.” Judging from the above-listed comments, the Executive Director/Management does appear to follow the standards endorsed in the Employee Handbook, and spears to have created a hostile working environment where supervisors have to shield their staff from upper management interactions.
The handbook, though specific, is written with a negative tone of “thou shalt not” rather than a positive one that would encourage each employee to adopt and support the mission and ethics of StanCOG.
Also absent from the handbook are pathways to promotion (monetary) and job enhancement (standardized in-house education or outside continuing education) leading to promotional opportunities.
Employee onboarding is the process of welcoming and integrating new hires into an organization. It is a structured approach that helps new employees become productive, engaged and confident in their roles. At StanCOG, former employees reported there was little on-the-job training. They were told to attend departmental meetings and learn through exposure. Any staff communicating with outside organizations for guidance and attempting to build effective working relationships with other agencies were swiftly met 52 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 86
with verbal or written contempt by upper management and admonished for their “embarrassing” behavior.
Beginning in 2023, the longest serving members of management lacked the necessary time in office and/or expertise in applicable subject matter to be able to give meaningful instruction to new employees.
In early 2023, the Manager of Financial Services retired and another member of Financial Services quit. This left only one employee in the department to perform the duties of both of the aforementioned positions until a Director of Financial Services was hired three months later. As per Section 2.1.9 of the Handbook, “…if an employee is assigned to perform job tasks of a higher paid position for longer than one pay period (ten working days), that employee shall receive the pay for the higher paid position for all the time worked…” Frequently, employees have been denied compensation in the past and not recognized for their service. Too often, lower titled staffers also work above their ”pay grade” without proper compensation.
The hours of work in the Handbook Section 4.1 are normally Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a current practice of every other Friday off. After Covid restrictions were lifted, some capacity for work from home remained. Additionally, some staff were offered company cell phones and equipment for their home. Former employees consistently reported working longer hours than their five eight-hour days or four ten-hour days, usually to finish a project. They were called on weekends, vacation days, sick days, and once during a family funeral for a child, even though prior notice had been given and permission granted for time off.
Multiple employees said that while performance reviews were done, they were presented as an ambush. Reviews were delivered without warning, good reviews were ignored and re-written by other leadership, and goals were contradictory within the same document.
Management of StanCOG told us that the staff signatures on these performance reviews were indicative of those staffers endorsing their review. This is contrary to the Handbook which states, “The signature of the employee does not necessarily indicate agreement with the evaluation.” Many staffers were intimidated by the aforementioned bullying, and so they did not offer a written response to these evaluations, as is their right, fearing retribution.
In addition to the Handbook, there is an internal server known as the V drive with more specific information for employees that we were not made aware of by the Director of Administrative Services. The submitted Handbook made references to salary scales being available to reference in Appendix A. The initial version we received did not have Appendix 53 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 87
A. When we did receive it, it did not have salary scales, only the 2020 benefits package and the vacation tables. We then submitted a second request for Appendix A.
On page 54 of the Employee Handbook is an Employee Acknowledgement of Receipt of the Handbook. We requested a site visit to have spot checks of random employee personnel files to see if this required form, and many other forms had been placed in the employee’s file. We were refused any access to the building, disregarding our legal right as a Jury granted under PC § 925a of “free access to examine books and records of any… JPA.” We eventually received Appendix A dated 1/1/25 of the Employee Handbook with a section for vacation accrual but no salary ranges.
The Jury requested position descriptions of all former and current employees in order to determine how many employees were and are working at StanCOG with respect to how many positions are and have been included in the annual budget. In all communications between the Jury and StanCOG, the Director of Administration has been the person to receive the Jury requests and return the documents within the required time frame. Until outside counsel took over document production, the Director of Administration determined which documents to deny, which do not exist, and which to return incomplete.
Most position descriptions have not been assigned a file number and have no dates as to initial approval and none have evidence of being updated. StanCOG’s General Counsel informed the Jury that the SCCGJ subpoenas would not be honored.
Another administrative issue is the lack of an Administrative Services Manual that would centralize administrative policies, all forms such as missing receipt forms, vacation requests, changes in benefits, position descriptions, phone and auto allowances, and what forms and documentations are available on the V drive. Authorization requests for travel, education, and acknowledgement of employee receipt of the handbook are some of the forms expected to be in a sample employee personnel file reflecting an actual employee’s file. Currently, there is a printed Employee Handbook, finance policies for travel and education, and the V drive, alas there is no centralized manual. Earlier in this report, the policies for travel were enumerated in three different documents.
All travel and lodging must be approved by a supervisor for employees or the Policy Board for the Executive Director. A record of all expenses incurred in the line of duty, typically a supervisor-approved authorization form, a supervisor-approved reimbursement form, and the missing receipts on the V drive is submitted to the Finance Department with the Executive Director’s signature. Traditionally, the original or a copy of these should be kept in the employee’s personnel file after Finance has recorded them.
The Jury did not find evidence that the rule of prior authorization (Accounting Polices, Travel and Expenses updated August 13, 2024) for travel and lodging, submission of 54 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 88
itemized receipts to the Policy Board, and written documentation for missing receipts has been adhered to by the Executive Director.
The Accounting Policy of June 1, 2021, Section 10 states the responsibilities of the card holder.
“Cardholder shall:
• Comply with all provisions of this policy
• Maintain security of the card and card number
• Obtain credit from merchants on returned goods
• Assist in resolving dispute charges on the credit card • Maintain receipts for all agency credit card transactions • Match the receipts to the credit card statement
• Provide account and work element coding for each charge appearing on the statement and
• Include a copy of the travel authorization for overnight travel” Section 10 also states, “the card holder should contact the vendor to request a copy of the receipt before submitting a Missing Receipt Form. The Missing Receipt Form must have approval from the Executive Director (or in this case the Policy Board). At the Executive Director’s discretion, repeated claims submitted on missing receipt forms could be denied and the Executive Director (or the Policy Board) should request immediate reimbursement from the employee or offset the unauthorized charges through payroll deduction. The Executive Director (or the Policy Board) will determine necessary disciplinary action for frequent abuse of the receipt requirements [by a StanCOG employee].” There was never evidence of any disciplinary action as the abuse of this policy by the Executive Director was the most prolific offender.
Compensation
High salaries and benefits, but only for a select few
Our third administrative issue regards the salaries and vacation schedule for the employees. The Employee Handbook details the procedures for use of annual vacation and sick leave. According to Appendix A dated 1/1/25, after twelve years a StanCOG employee will accrue nine weeks of vacation per year. StanCOG’s General Counsel informed the Jury that the vacation policy was in the Employee Policies and Procedures Handbook, last adopted by the Policy Board in open session on Nov. 17, 2021, via Resolution 21-13 which calls for five weeks after 12 years.
The Jury requested the StanCOG vacation policy. We received Appendix A (2025) which states that at 12+ years of service, an employee earns 360 hours or nine weeks of vacation. 55 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 89
In contrast, a Stanislaus County employee must work 21 years to earn five weeks of paid vacation.
The Jury then asked Chair of the Policy Board how was Appendix A (dated 1/1/25) developed, and by whom, and when was it approved by the Policy Board. He in turn forwarded the request to the StanCOG General Counsel. She responded on May 1, 2025, that it was in the Employee Handbook that was first developed by the Stanislaus Area Association of Governments (SAAG) in 2000 and based on the Stanislaus County Handbook.
It has been updated and revised several times over twenty-four years, mainly to conform with Federal and State laws. She did confirm (again on May 1, 2025) that the most current policy was approved by the Policy Board on Nov. 17, 2021, with an Appendix A (2021).
General Counsel also provided the Jury with the November 21, 2021, resolution stating that all previous versions are repealed. Appendix A (2021), states that at 12+ years an employee is eligible for 200 hours of paid vacation, or five weeks annually, and the Executive Director’s 2024 contract affirms this.
The Jury asked Henderson CPAs, who performed the last Single Audit, to provide us with the vacation accrual given to him by StanCOG and the accruals he used to document his financial statement liabilities. The SCCGJ Financial Oversight Committee analyzed the accrual pages he provided confirming the vacation accrual numbers he used increased by about 30% from 6/30/22 to 6/30/23, and included a listing of all employees with their vacation accrual factors next to their name. He was using the Appendix A dated 1/1/25.
The Executive Director’s vacation accrual was set for nine weeks, rather than five weeks, as of the 6/30/23 for the Single Audit which increased by 29% over the figure from 6/30/22.
So, the question becomes: when was the 2025 Appendix A, provided by the Director of Administrative Services, approved by the Policy Board? There is only the November 2021 Resolution 21-13 with the 2021 Appendix A provided by the StanCOG General Counsel.
Apparently, the General Counsel has not been kept up to date by the Director of Administrative Services. There is no documentation of any other policy, nor amendment, nor correction to this policy being approved.
Page nine of the Employee Handbook, Section 3.2.8 states “management employees may submit requests to the Executive Director for cash conversion of vacation twice in any fiscal year (non-management may only do this once a year) or at the discretion of the Executive Director.”
The Executive Director’s contract states “the employee shall accrue vacation at the same rate and in the same manner as other management employees and is granted one additional week of vacation annually.” This would award the Executive Director with ten weeks of vacation a year according to Appendix A. We have asked the Director of 56 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?

Administrative Services how many weeks of vacation the Executive Director has converted into cash. The question has not been answered.
We learned from interviews that the Executive Director rarely takes a vacation. In reviewing her calendar for the previous five years, no vacations were noted. Management is allowed to request a cash conversion twice a year which would give her $27,864 every six months. The Director of Administrative Services would receive nine weeks of vacation per year. StanCOG does not have published current pay rates for employees, per their outside legal counsel, thus we may only assume it is close to the rate of the Executive Director’s.
It must be noted that as of June 30, 2022, the outside auditor documented accrued vacation time for the annual audited financial statement at a much lower vacation rate than the current StanCOG vacation policy. The accrued vacation time increased sharply during the next year, as the same CPA auditor was documenting accrued vacation time per pay period, which was approximately 30% or more than the previous accrual figure, and only then approximated the new policy.
Of particular concern is the high salaries of the three senior managers, two of whom have served for 12+ years and are eligible for nine weeks of vacation each year according to Appendix A of the Employee Handbook. The following graphs have been developed by the Jury to document how much the StanCOG Executive Director earns compared to other central valley councils of government using 2022 data, the most recent available for comparison. The similarity ends there. StanCOG is the smallest agency with fourteen employees, while the Sacramento area agency is the largest with sixty-one employees, yet the StanCOG Executive Director’s total compensation is $138,200 greater. StanCOG has 17 member agencies whereas Sacramento has 31. This is also evident in the size of each agency’s Overall Work Program as Sacramento has more than double the budget at $43,240,057 as compared to only $20,730,863 for StanCOG. The Policy Board has been led to believe that StanCOG salaries are based on comps from other counties with similar COGs.
Comparative data from other Central Valley COGs is from Transparent California, using 2022 data because that is the most recent year for which data is complete. Historic salary data for the Executive Director and the Director of Administrative Services were provided to us by StanCOG.

What is more revealing is the steady increase in salary each year with no change in responsibilities that would normally be documented in a position description. The Jury requested Position Descriptions for a five-year period. We received only one description for each of the top three directors leading us to conclude there had been no changes in duties. Based upon our interviews, the Director of Administrative Services has not had any material change in her Position Description. The Jury requested all past Position Descriptions as none of those submitted had any dates of approval. Thus, there was no way to confirm the Director of Administrative Service’s statement.
The increase in compensation could also be monetary awards each year for exceptional performance, but again, StanCOG has not allowed the Jury to examine any documents of an employee personnel record that would contain a commendation or a certificate of appreciation.

Employee Turnover
We asked StanCOG for a list of employees for the last three years. Over the course of our investigation, we discovered at least ten additional employees had not been disclosed. That means that in three years, an organization that hovers between eleven and fifteen active staff at any point in time has lost at least twenty-four people:
• eight of eleven Financial Services staff
• eleven of sixteen Planning and Programming hires
• five of eight Administrative Assistants/Analysts
These metrics indicate a “revolving door” environment wherein more money and time is being spent on hiring new staff rather than management doing the required work to retain employees with strong performance and capability.
We interviewed former staff and current employees of StanCOG. Witnesses all concurred that while both exempt and non-exempt employees were expected to work beyond their scheduled hours, they found the work challenging, rewarding, and satisfying. The mix of work from home and in-office work hours, plus the potential travel for meetings, conferences, and seminars are largely viewed positively. Yet the external single audits were not completed on time. As of this writing, there is every indication to believe that employee turnover has been a primary cause of the financial chaos within StanCOG.
Single Audit
Poor management by StanCOG has led to insufficient staff to complete critical tasks The Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR § 200.500 (2025)) requires that local governments receiving more than $1,000,000 in federal funds must submit an annual Single Audit performed by an external auditor. This audit must be submitted to the federal government within nine months of the end of the fiscal year. Since StanCOG’s fiscal year ends on June 30, the due date for the Single Audit is March 31 of the following calendar year.
The Federal Audit Clearinghouse reports that, from the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, StanCOG submitted its Single Audit on time. These Single Audits had no “findings” of any problems with StanCOG’s financial processes.
Because the Single Audit is based on sampling financial records, these audits did not catch—and were not intended to catch—some of the financial oversight issues discussed in other sections of this report. These Single Audits show an organization that was allocating money to the correct accounts and maintaining compliance with federal requirements.
The Single Audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, is another story. It was submitted more than four months late. The external auditor found “material weaknesses” in both 61 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 95
StanCOG’s financial systems and its compliance with federal requirements. In accounting jargon, a “material weakness” means that there is something wrong with how the process is done and monitored, to the point that serious mistakes are likely to be overlooked.
The Single Audit states on page 64:
“During the audit of the Council’s financial statements, we [the auditor] encountered significant delays in the commencement and completion of the audit as the Council was unable to produce financial statements in a timely manner. In addition, we identified several material misstatements in the Council’s account balances which required material audit adjustments. Additionally, the Council required an excessive number of year-end closing journal entries to complete the financial close process.
In addition, the material adjustments made significantly delayed the audit process.” When this statement was read aloud to the Executive Director during a Jury interview, we were told that these were not the official audit findings. The Executive Director could not explain how the Single Audit, posted both on StanCOG’s official website and at the Federal Clearinghouse, could contain text that did not accurately represent the external auditor’s findings.
The Single Audit attributes the problems to high staff turnover. The Single Audit concluded with a management response acknowledging the findings and provides a remedial plan for hiring staff, implementing training, and improving processes. This plan was signed by the Interim Director of Finance.
As of May 2025, the Single Audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, is also delinquent.
The Financial Services Department continues under the leadership of an Interim Director.
The Senior Financial Specialist hired in April 2024 resigned, leaving the department staffed by only a Financial Services Specialist I and a Financial Services Specialist II. StanCOG began the selection process for a new external auditor later than best practices dictate.
They then had difficulty finding an auditor with availability and the willingness to work with the organization, and thus they started the audit several months late.
It is fair to conclude that the remediation plan from the prior year has qualitatively and quantitatively not been implemented. A pattern of late Single Audits with negative findings can jeopardize access to state and federal funds.
Measure L
Our local transportation tax
In 2016, Stanislaus County voters approved Measure L, the Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure. Measure L calls for implementing a half-cent increase in 62 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 96
sales tax within Stanislaus County for the purpose of funding local street and road improvements. The increase began in April 2017 and will last for 25 years.
Measure L is the largest program that StanCOG administers, with typical annual funding in the $60 million range. Measure L’s funding is divided into two broad categories:
• Regional projects, which are managed by StanCOG itself • Local control projects, which are managed by each city or transit agency within the county
For local control projects, StanCOG receives the funds from Caltrans and deposits it in a “fiduciary” account for the jurisdiction (city or county) it belongs to. The fiduciary account is similar to an escrow account: money is held there until the jurisdiction it belongs to demonstrates that it is current and compliant on paperwork.
StanCOG has a Policies & Procedures Manual that outlines how Measure L funds are to be processed and monitored.
One requirement is that cities upload their reports to the ABILA system, which allows StanCOG to show on the Measure L web site how money is being spent (https://stanislausmeasurel.com/). The Jurisdiction pages on the Measure L site should give a list of every document submitted by each jurisdiction; however, the most recent posting of project documents is December 31, 2022. Since Measure L requires monthly and quarterly reporting, even when a city is stockpiling funds for a future project, it is irresponsible that there have been no posted documents in more than two years. Thus, we have to conclude that this required website is out of date.
At the April 2, 2025, Management and Finance Committee (MFC) meeting, members discussed the Public Participation Plan and its underwhelming performance, including the long-awaited update of the Measure L website. A contractor was hired and began work nearly a year ago, at a cost of $250,000, with no tangible results. Additionally, the in-person meetings with the members had not happened as promised and instead of the contractor, a StanCOG staffer was collecting photos of the projects for the website.
Measure L also requires that each jurisdiction receiving funds provide an annual report on Measure L projects. This report is separate and distinct from StanCOG’s Single Audit or the jurisdictions’ comprehensive annual financial reports. As of late April 2025, there are no jurisdiction-level reports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, which had a deadline of March 31, 2025.
StanCOG also produces its own Measure L Annual Report, which notes that it uses unaudited numbers. This becomes obvious when the Measure L Annual Report for the 63 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 97
fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, has a math error in its presentation of revenues (stating $61,142,226 when the itemized list sums to $61,148,226). These unaudited numbers are close to, but do not match, the audited numbers in the annual Single Audit. At the previously mentioned Management and Finance Committee meeting, members pointed out that the figures presented to them from a different funding source did not add up.
StanCOG has the right to withhold funds if jurisdictions are not up to date on their required Measure L monthly reports. Prior to 2023, disbursements were issued two weeks after the 10th, because they are obligated to deliver funds monthly. The Policy & Procedures Manual for Measure L states that if the jurisdiction’s required reporting is more than ninety days late, StanCOG may withhold funds until they come into compliance. At that point, they have 30 days to disburse all funds in arrears, but StanCOG retains the bank-earned interest as a penalty.
In Ordinance 16-01 that created Measure L, Section 20.02 states that in the event that jurisdictions need to return funds to StanCOG, the bank interest earned on allocated funds must be returned with the funds to StanCOG. This suggests, but does not state outright, that the bank interest earned on the funds always travel with the funds, both ways. Prior to February 2023, StanCOG did disburse the interest with the monthly funds to the member jurisdictions. However, after that month, interest was no longer disbursed, with no discernable announcement by the leadership of this policy or procedural change.
In April 2023, StanCOG informed the City of Turlock that it would start withholding funds because Turlock was out of compliance with paperwork. However, the City’s records show funds from StanCOG continuing to arrive monthly until December 2023. When Turlock provided the required documentation in January 2024, StanCOG waited until May to clarify additional requirements. Once Turlock was deemed to be in compliance, payments continued to be sporadic and delayed, with at least one dispute over whether StanCOG was paying the correct amount. In addition, while in early 2023 StanCOG had paid interest if funds stayed in their fiduciary accounts long enough to earn any, after this point, interest does not appear to be paid to Turlock.
At the Management and Finance Committee meeting on May 7, 2025, these matters were addressed. Two member jurisdictions said that they were up to date on all of their obligatory reporting, but StanCOG had not disbursed funds for three months or more.
Additionally, members stated that they believe they are owed interest on those late funds.
They then questioned if they have ever received the bank interest on funds allocated to them.
We note that the Management and Finance Committee has had a higher rate of cancelled meetings in 2023 and 2024 than in years prior. Historically, up to two monthly meetings were cancelled in a calendar year. In 2022, three were cancelled, but four special meetings 64 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 98
were added. In 2023, seven of eleven meetings were cancelled and in 2024, four of eleven were cancelled.
To complete this report, it is best to remember that it started with a citizen’s complaint pointing out that StanCOG was likely underperforming in its own financial reporting and on track to be delinquent with the upcoming Single Audit, all of which was correctly predicted.
Additionally, the complainant suggested there was a high rate of employee turnover in the last two to three years that deserved examination.
This report has not only confirmed these concerns but was also able to confidently document mismanagement by its Executive Director and the Director of Administrative Services along with the unfortunate lack of oversight by the elected officials of our county and cities.
During interviews with the upper management of StanCOG, the Jury was told that it is difficult for them to attract new employees to come to Modesto and work at StanCOG and retain those already employed. The consensus of the Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury is that the problem was not attracting people to the city of Modesto, rather it was the mismanagement of StanCOG.
It was not lost on us that though these problems have been long known, it was not until we, the Jury, were able to confront and examine them, that they were brought to light. In a perfect world, no problem should ever get this big, and more so, it should not be a civil grand jury discovering these facts. Rather, the obvious and continuous weaknesses and underperformance should be the triggers for a meaningful response from members of the governing oversight bodies.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
F1. StanCOG is not responsive to their obligations with respect to the authority of the Civil Grand Jury and the Policy Board.
R1a. StanCOG General Counsel is expected to be familiar with the California Penal Codes illustrating the rights of the Civil Grand Jury and its responsibility as a government watchdog. The Policy Board should require proof that the General Counsel has completed continuing education or other training in civil grand jury rights should be completed no later than December 31, 2025.
R1b. The Policy Board is strongly encouraged to review this report with a critical eye on how both StanCOG upper management and its General Counsel responded to the Civil Grand Jury in both written responses and verbal interviews.
F2. StanCOG has no significant oversight by its Policy Board.
R2a. StanCOG should amend their November 2018 JPA to include the County Auditor-Controller. This should be completed with the anticipated upcoming JPA amendment process, which currently lacks a completion date.
R2b. StanCOG should revise its policy board bylaws to reduce the overall responsibility of oversight from the Chair and distribute it among the other members keeping in mind the responsibilities of all members outside of their StanCOG duties, particularly members of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors who carry greater responsibilities. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R2c. StanCOG’s Policy Board should create a system of monthly, quarterly, and annual reviews of travel expenditures, project funds, accounting, and policies. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R2d. Revise the JPA so that all Management and Financial matters are reviewed and approved by the MFC prior to presentation before the Executive Committee and Policy Board in order to provide guidance, insight, and recommendations on the improvements required. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
66 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 100 F3. As used in the Accounting Policy in Section 9, “reasonable” is not a specific enough spending limit to be employed responsibly with respect to travel.
R3. With advisement from the Management and Finance Committee, the Policy Board should craft a travel policy with specific spending limits for rental cars, hotels, dinners, flights, and other related expenditures. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
F4. StanCOG lacks a Director of Financial Services, and that position is subject to the authority of the Executive Director.
R4a. StanCOG’s Policy Board, not the Executive Director, should take over and expedite the hiring of a Director of Financial Services. This should be completed by October 31, 2025.
R4b. The Executive Director position should be abolished and establish an information officer for jurisdiction and political engagement, and an operations officer to oversee the daily operation of the organization. This should be completed by March 31, 2026.
R4c. The Director of Financial Services should only be answerable to the Policy Board, not the Executive Director. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R4d. The operations officer should oversee the Financial Services department and approve all of the expenditures of the newly created information officer position. This should be in addition to the Policy Board’s oversight. This should be completed by March 31, 2026.
F5. StanCOG’s absence of a Director of Financial Services resulted in several members of upper management undertaking that role’s responsibilities. The substandard performance of these duties led to delinquent audits with material findings.
R5a. In the event that the Executive Director position is retained or the position of operations officer is created, these positions and any other leadership roles engaged with the Single Audit should have training in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R5b. The Policy Board should establish a separate audit committee. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
67 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 101 F6. The Employee Handbook as stated is a “working guide for Employees and supervisors.” It is out of compliance with the current practices of StanCOG.
R6a. The Policy Board should review and compare its StanCOG Policies with Stanislaus County’s HR policies.
R6b. The Employee Handbook should be consolidated with all applicable policies and procedures, position descriptions, and all other documents into one central manual. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R6c. The Employee Handbook and all applicable policies and procedures, position descriptions, and other documents should be centrally located for any employee to access at any time. A hard copy of the aforementioned documents should be kept in Administrative Services, and digital copies should be available on the V drive. This should be completed by October 31, 2025.
F7. The Jury found that the StanCOG Single Audit, dated June 30, 2023, had material weaknesses that caused the report to be issued late.
R7a. The Executive Director or the newly created position of operations officer should be involved with the audit process from start to finish and should receive training in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R7b. The Policy Board should establish a separate audit committee. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
F8. There are two published Appendix A documents for full-time employee benefits.
Appendix A (1/1/25) provided by the director of Administrative Services allows for nine weeks paid vacation at twelve years and Appendix A (11/17/21) provided by the General Counsel allows for only five weeks at twelve years and more.
R8a. The Policy Board should determine which document they approved and purge the system of the inaccurate document, preferably the Appendix A dated 1/1/25 allowing for nine weeks of vacation. This should be completed by October 31, 2025.
R8b. The Policy Board should investigate how this unapproved change of Appendix A occurred and shall report the findings in an open session at a Policy Board meeting. This should be completed by December 31, 2025. 68 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 102 F9. The Executive Director has used rental cars extensively and excessively rather than her personal vehicle due to vague policies and lack of oversight.
R9a. StanCOG should contract with the county motor pool to reduce unwarranted rental car expenses. This was proposed to the County CEO, and he said it would be possible. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R9b. Subtract the cost of a rental vehicle from the yearly auto allowance of $4,800 each time a rental is used in lieu of a personal vehicle. This should be completed by October 31, 2025.
R9c. In the event that it is necessary to use a rental vehicle, an authorization from the Policy Board must be issued. This should be completed by October 31, 2025.
F10. The policy on missing receipts is not being adhered to by the Executive Director due to the lack of appropriate oversight by the Policy Board.
R10a. The policy on receipts should be followed by all employees including the Executive Director. This should be implemented immediately.
R10b. All employees, including the Executive Director, should be held accountable by the Policy Board for adherence to the credit card rules as documented in the StanCOG Accounting Policies updated 6/1/21. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R10c. The Policy Board should investigate how the Executive Director was able to charge the Executive Director’s husband’s plane fare (in the amount of $614.58) to the StanCOG credit card. They should also review the fraud report related to this charge submitted by the Director of Administrative Services to the credit card company. They shall report the findings in an open session at a Policy Board meeting. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
R10d. The Policy Board should initiate an investigation of both the unrestrained “Education and Training” expenses and the inordinate and inappropriate use of the StanCOG credit card by the Executive Director and all staff from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025. This investigation should be conducted by an outside accounting firm/forensic auditor and should focus on:
a) credit card reimbursements, especially when receipts were missing or inappropriately itemized
b) reimbursement requests submitted late, and
69 Transportation and Funding for the People:
Is StanCOG Mismanaging Funding and Their Own People?
2024-2025 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury • Page 103 c) unauthorized expenses as per Section 9 of the Accounting Policies.
This investigation should begin no later than December 31, 2025. A report of this investigation should be presented in an open session of the Policy Board by March 31, 2026.
R10e. The Jury recommends full reimbursement by the Executive Director of ALL missing receipts and unauthorized expenditures. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.
F11. The expenditure category “training and education” is too broad.
R11. StanCOG should amend policies to create additional expense categories that will provide greater transparency for expenditure purposes. This should be completed by December 31, 2025.

Subject: Approval to Authorize City Staff to Release Bid Documents for the Second Street Surface Improvement Project
Enclosure: Second Street Bid and Plan Set
Presented By: Carla C. Jauregui, Community Development Director Approved By: ____________________________
Recommended Council Action:
Authorize City staff to release Bid Documents for the Second Street Surface Improvement Project.
Background and Overview:
The Second Street Surface Improvement Project includes the installation of new sidewalks and various infrastructure enhancements along Second Street between Locust Street and Santa Fe Avenue. This phase follows Phase I, which previously improved the segment from Fox Road to Walker Lane, and will complete much-needed pedestrian connectivity along this corridor.
As part of this project, the scope of work includes removal of two (2) existing trees, concrete, and pavement sections, followed by the installation of new pavement consisting of 3-inch asphalt concrete over 6-inch aggregate base. The improvements also include the construction of new vertical curb and gutter, 4-inch sidewalks, 6-inch concrete driveways, and retaining curbs. Eight (8) ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps will be installed to improve accessibility at intersections.
Additional work includes a Type II slurry seal to preserve and extend the life of the roadway surface, storm drain upgrades including the removal and replacement of catch basins, and adjustment of existing manholes to match the new finished grade. Utility improvements include the replacement of a fire hydrant assembly and four water meter boxes. The project also includes traffic signage and striping, temporary traffic control for public safety during construction, and erosion control measures to protect environmental quality throughout the construction period.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.2
SECTION 6: NEW BUSINESS
73 This is a comprehensive improvement effort, funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and is part of the City’s 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan (AAP), prepared in collaboration with Stanislaus County. These improvements reflect the City's continued investment in infrastructure that supports safe, accessible, and inclusive transportation options for all residents.
Sidewalks are a foundational part of building a connected and healthy community. They allow children to walk safely to school, enable seniors and those with mobility challenges to navigate public spaces independently, and encourage walking and biking as sustainable alternatives to vehicle use. Enhancing these routes not only increases public safety and mobility but also boosts neighborhood pride and property values. This project is one more step toward the City’s vision of complete streets and a walkable future for all of Hughson.
Fiscal Impact:
The City has been collecting CDBG funds to be able to complete this project. Currently there are $771,674.17 in CDBG funds available for this project, minus planning and engineering costs that will be charged for the preliminary work that has been completed to get the project to this point. The Engineer’s Estimate for the construction of this project is $430,000.00. With a 10% construction contingency and a 10% construction management contingency, the total cost of the project is estimated to be $516,000. 74 CITY OF HUGHSON

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing rate of wages in the County in which work is to be done has been determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial relations.
These wage rates and the Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the serially numbered books issued for bidding purposes entitled “Proposal and Contract”, and in the copies of said book that may be examined at the offices described above where project plans, special provisions, and proposal forms may be seen. Addenda to modify rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of “Proposal and Contract” books. Future effective general prevailing wage rates which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.
Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in said books entitled “Proposal and Contract”. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wages not specifically included in the Federal minimum wager determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determinations otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall not pay less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

The special provisions for the work to be done are included in this document. Project plans for the work to be done were approved and are entitled:
IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR
2 ND STREET SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS
Receipt of copies of the following addenda(s) is hereby acknowledged.
Addendum No. Bidders Signature Date
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work necessary to construct those items listed in the “Contractor’s Bid” sheet (P-3). The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items of the base bid and any combination of the bid alternates.
91 2
nd Street Surface Improvements P-2
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage wise the unit price or item total in the Department's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City of Hughson, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City of Hughson to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City of Hughson respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the 2 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the City of Hughson within 14 calendar days, not including legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice from the City of Hughson that the contract has been awarded, the City of Hughson may, at its option, determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of the City of Hughson.
The undersigned, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this proposal as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, firm, or corporation; that he or she has carefully examined the location of the proposed work, the annexed proposed form of contract, and the plans therein referred to; and he or she proposes, and agrees if this proposal is accepted, that he or she will contract with the City of Hughson in the form of the copy of the contract annexed hereto, to provide all necessary machinery, tools, apparatus and other means of construction, and to do all the work and furnish all the materials specified in the 92 2

BIDDING
2-1.01 - GENERAL - The bidder's attention is directed to the provisions in Section 2, "Bidding," of the Standard Specifications and these special provisions for the requirements and conditions which the bidder must observe in the preparation of the proposal form and the submission of the bid.
In accordance with Labor Code Section 1771.1(a):
A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 . It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
The bidder's bond shall conform to the bond form in the Bid book for the project and shall be properly filled out and executed. The bidder’s bond form included in that book may be used.
In conformance with Public Contract Code Section 7106, a Noncollusion Affidavit is included in the Bid book. Signing the Proposal shall also constitute signature of the Noncollusion Affidavit.
The contractor, sub recipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) part 26 in the award and administration of US DOT assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate. Each subcontract signed by the bidder must include this assurance.
Failure of the bidder to fulfill the requirements of the Special Provisions for submittals required to be furnished after bid opening, including but not limited to escrowed bid documents, where applicable, may subject the bidder to a determination of the bidder’s responsibility in the event it is the apparent low bidder on a future public works contract.
2-1.02 - Required Listing of Proposed Subcontractors - Each proposal shall have listed therein the name and address of each subcontractor to whom the bidder proposes to subcontract portions of the work in an amount in excess of ½ of one percent of their total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater, in accordance with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act, commencing with Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code. The bidder’s attention is invited to other provisions of said Act related to the impositions of penalties for failure to observe its provisions by using unauthorized subcontractors or buy making or unauthorized substitutions.
A sheet for listing the subcontractors, as required herein, is included in the Proposal.
Bidders are cautioned that this listing requirement is in addition to the requirements to provide a list of DBE subcontractors after the opening of the proposals.

AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT

• be filed within three (3) business days of the bid opening date in writing with the City Engineer; • clearly identify the specific accusation(s) involved; • specify, in detail, the ground(s) and fact(s) supporting the protest; • and include all relevant and supporting documentation at the time of filing.

City of Hughson

Hughson California, 95326
The right is reserved to reject any and all proposals.
The award of the contract, if it be awarded, will be to the lowest responsible bidder whose proposal complies with all the requirements prescribed. Such award, if made, will be made within 60 days after the opening of proposals.
This period will be subject to extension for such further period as may be agreed upon in writing between the City and the bidder concerned.
All bids will be compared on the basis of the Engineer’s estimate of the quantities of work to be done. 3-1.02 - Contract Bonds – The Contractor will be required to execute the performance and payment bonds within fourteen calendar days from the date when the Notice of Award is delivered to the Contractor. The performance and payment bonds must each be in the amount of 100 percent of the Contract price with a corporate surety approved by the City and authorized to do business in the state where the Contract is to be performed. Failure to execute the bonds within the time specified shall allow the City to consider that the bidder has abandoned the Contract, in which case the check or bidder’s bond accompanying the proposal shall be the property of the City.
The bond covering performance shall be conditioned upon the performance by the Contractor of all undertakings, covenants, terms, conditions, and agreements of the Contract. The bond covering payment shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment by the Contractor to all persons supplying labor and materials to be used in the performance of the Work. Such bond(s) shall also run in favor of any other person or entities required by law and shall be in the form(s) required by applicable statues, if any, and acceptable to City. Evidence of authority of any attorney, in fact, acting for the corporate surety must be provided in the form of a certificate as to his or her power of attorney and to the effect that it is not terminated and remains in full force and effect on the date of the bond.
The expense of such bond(s) shall be borne by the Contractor. If at any time a surety on such bond(s) becomes irresponsible or loses its right to do business in the aforementioned State, the City may require another surety, which the Contractor shall furnish within ten calendar days after receipt of written notice to do so.
The performance bond shall guarantee the repair of all damage due to faulty materials or workmanship provided or done by the Contractor. This guarantee shall remain in effect for a period of one year after the date of final acceptance of the job by the City.

SCOPE OF WORK

Within twenty days after the Effective Date of the Agreement, but before Contractor starts the Work at the site, a conference attended by Contractor, City, Engineer and others as appropriate will be held to discuss the preliminary construction schedule, to discuss procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submittals and for processing Applications for Payment, and to establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work.
The Contractor shall begin work within 30 calendar days after the contract has been approved by the attorney appointed and authorized to represent the City of Hughson, or, if a Notice to Proceed is given, on the day indicated in the Notice to Proceed.
Before undertaking each part of the Work, Contractor shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents and check and verify pertinent figures shown thereon and all applicable field measurements. Contractor shall promptly report in writing to Engineer any conflict, error or discrepancy which Contractor may discover and shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from Engineer before proceeding with any Work affected thereby; however, Contractor shall not be liable to City or Engineer for failure to report any conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, unless Contractor had actual knowledge thereof or should reasonably have known thereof.
This work shall be diligently prosecuted to completion before the expiration of the contract time.
The Contractor shall pay to the City of Hughson the sum indicated in section 8-1.07 of these Special Provisions for each and every calendar day's delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of calendar days prescribed in the contract documents.
4-1.01B - Intent of Plans and Specifications – The intent of the plans and specifications is to prescribe the details for the construction and completion of the work which the contractor undertakes to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Where the plans or specifications describe portions of the work in general terms, but not in complete detail, it is understood that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only materials and workmanship of the first quality are to be used. Unless otherwise specified, the contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals, and do all the work involved in executing the contract in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
4-1.02 - Final Cleaning Up – Before final inspection of the work, the contractor shall clean up the work, material sites, and all ground occupied by them in connection with the work of all rubbish, excess materials, falsework, temporary structures, and equipment.

Full compensation for final cleaning up will be considered as included in the prices paid for the various contract items of work and no separate payment will be made therefor.
4-1.03 - Changes – Extra work means work which was not included in the Drawings or Specifications or in any bid Schedule. Extra work does not include any items for which a unit price was stated in the Bid even if the estimated quantity differs from the actual quantity. The City, without invalidating the contract, may order extra work or make changes in or deletions from the work and increase or decrease the Contract price accordingly. All such work shall be executed under the original contract except that any claim for extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such extra work or change. Before becoming effective, all Change Orders must be signed by all parties indicated on the change order form.
The value of such extra work or change shall be determined in one of the following ways:

B. By any unit prices named in the contract or subsequently agreed upon. 130
2 nd Street Surface Improvements SP-6
C. By Force Account
The contract price shall be adjusted by considering separately any work added and any work deleted. The Contractor agrees that he or she shall not be entitled to claim damages for anticipated profits on any portion of work that may be deleted.

The City reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all extra work. 4-1.03B - Increased or Decreased Quantities – Increases or decreases in the quantity of a contract item of work will be determined by comparing the total pay quantity of such item of work with the Engineer’s estimate therefor.
If the total pay quantity of any item of work required under the contract varies from the Engineer’s estimate therefor by 25 percent, in the absence of an executed contract change order specifying the compensation to be paid, the compensation payable to the contractor will be a mutually agreed upon amount or will be determined by force account.
4-1.03C - Extra Work – New and unforeseen work will be classed as extra work when determined by the Engineer that such work is not covered by any of the various items for which there is a bid price or by combinations of such items. In the event that portions of such work are determined by the Engineer to be covered by some of the various items for which there is a bid price or combination of such items, the remaining portion of such work will be classed as extra work.
The contractor shall do such extra work and furnish material and equipment therefor upon receipt of an approved contract change order or other written order of the Engineer. 131

SECTION 5
CONTROL OF WORK

Their decision shall be final, and he or she shall have authority to enforce and make effective such decisions and orders which the contractor fails to carry out promptly. The Engineer will not be responsible or have authority for job safety.
Job safety shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor. 5-1.02 - Plans and Working Drawings – The contract plans furnished consist of general drawings and show such details as are necessary to give a comprehensive idea of the construction contemplated. All authorized alterations affecting the requirements and information given on the contract plans shall be in writing.
The contract plans shall be supplemented by such working drawings prepared by the contractor as are necessary to adequately control the work. No change shall be made by the contractor in any working drawing after it has been approved by the Engineer.
Working drawings for cribs, cofferdams, falsework, centering and form work, and for other temporary work and methods of construction the contractor proposes to use, will be required. Such working drawings shall be subject to approval insofar as the details affect the character of the finished work, but details of design will be left to the contractor who shall be responsible for the successful construction of the work.
It is expressly understood, however, that approval of the contractor’s working drawings shall not relieve the contractor of any responsibility for accuracy of dimensions and details, or for mutual agreement of dimensions and details. It is mutually agreed that the contractor shall be responsible for agreement and conformity of their working drawings with the contract plans and specifications.
Full compensation for furnishing all working drawings shall be considered as included in the prices paid for the contract item of work to which such drawings relate, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor. 5-1.03 - Differing Site Conditions

5-1.04 - Conformity With Contract Documents and Allowable Deviations – Work and materials shall conform to the lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements, including tolerances, shown on the plans or indicated in the specifications. Although measurement, sampling, and testing may be considered evidence as to such conformity, the Engineer shall be the sole judge as to whether the work or materials deviate from the plans and specifications, and their decision as to any allowable deviations therefrom shall be final. 5-1.05 - Coordination and Interpretation of Plans, Specifications, and Special Provisions – The specifications, plans, special provisions, contract change orders, and all supplementary documents are essential parts of the contract, and a requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be cooperative, and to describe and provide for a complete work.
Plans shall govern over these specifications; the special provisions shall govern over both these specifications and the plans.
Should it appear that the work to be done, or any of the matters relative thereto are not sufficiently detailed or explained in these specifications, the special provisions, or the plans, the contractor shall apply to the Engineer for such further explanations as may be necessary and shall conform to them as part of the contract. In the event of any doubt or question arising respecting the true meaning of these specifications, the special provisions, or the plans, reference shall be made to the Engineer, whose decision thereon shall be final.
In the event of any discrepancy, between any drawings and the figures written thereon, the figures shall be taken as correct. Detail drawings shall prevail over general drawings. 5-1.06 - Order of Work – When required by the special provisions or plans, the contractor shall follow the sequence of operations as set forth therein.
Full compensation for conforming to such requirements will be considered as included in the prices paid for the various contact items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor. 5-1.07 - Superintendence – The contractor shall designate in writing before starting work, an authorized representative who shall have complete authority to represent and to act for the contractor. Said authorized representative shall be present at the site of the work at all times when work is actually in progress on the contract.
When work is not in progress, and during periods when work is suspended, arrangements acceptable to the Engineer shall be made for any emergency work which may be required. 5-1.08 - Lines and Grades – See the Special Provisions for staking to be provided by the Engineer.
When the contractor requires such stakes or marks, he or she shall notify the Engineer of their requirements in writing, a reasonable length of time in advance of starting operations that require such stakes or marks. In no event shall a notice of less than two working days be considered a reasonable length of time.
The Contractor shall carefully preserve stakes and marks set by the Engineer. In case such stakes and marks are destroyed or damaged, they will be replaced at the Engineer’s earliest convenience. The contractor will be charged for the cost of replacement or restoration of stakes and marks. This charge will be deducted from any moneys due, or that may become due, the contractor under the contract. 5-1.09 - Inspection – The Engineer shall at all times have access to the work during its construction, and shall be furnished with every reasonable facility for ascertaining that the materials and the workmanship are in accordance with the requirements and intentions of the specification, the special provisions, and the plans. All work done, and all materials furnished, shall be subject to their inspection and approval.
The inspection of the work or materials shall not relieve the contractor of any of their obligations to fulfill their contract as prescribed. Work and materials not meeting such requirements shall be made good and unsuitable work or materials may be rejected, notwithstanding that such work or materials have been previously inspected by the Engineer or that payment therefor has been included in a progress estimate. 133

Projects financed in whole or in part with State or Federal funds shall be subject to inspection at all times by the agency involved.
5-1.10 - Removal of Rejected and Unauthorized Work – All work which has been rejected shall be remedied, or removed and replaced by the contractor in an acceptable manner and no compensation will be allowed them for such removal, replacement, or remedial work.
Any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the plans or established by the Engineer, or any extra work done without written authority will be considered as unauthorized work and will not be paid for. Upon order of the Engineer unauthorized work shall be remedied, removed, or replaced at the contractor’s expense.
Upon failure of the contractor to comply promptly with any order of the Engineer made under this Section, the City may cause rejected or unauthorized work to be remedied, removed, or replaced, and to deduct the costs from any moneys due or to become due the contractor.
5-1.11 - Equipment and Plants – Only equipment and plants suitable to produce the quality of work and materials required will be permitted to operate on the project.
Plants shall be designated and constructed in accordance with general practice for such equipment and shall be if sufficient capacity to insure the production of sufficient materials to carry the work to completion within the time limit.
The contractor shall provide adequate and suitable equipment and plants to meet the above requirements, and when ordered by the Engineer shall remove unsuitable equipment from the work and discontinue the operation of unsatisfactory plants.
The make, model number, and empty gross weight of each unit of compacting equipment shall be plainly stamped or stenciled in a conspicuous place on the unit. The gross weight shall be either the manufacturers rated weight or the scale weight.

In any event, unless the matter complained of is satisfactorily cleared within ten days after service of such notice, the City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, exercise one of such remedies at once, having first obtained a certificate from the Engineer that sufficient cause exists to justify such action. (1) The City may terminate the services of the contractor, which termination shall take effect immediately upon service of notice thereof on the contractor and their surety, whereupon the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the contract. If the surety does not commence performance of the contract within ten days after service on surety of the notice of termination, the City may itself take over the work, take possession of and use all materials, tools, equipment, and appliances on the premises and prosecute the work to completion by such means as it shall deem best.
In the event of such termination of their service, the contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment under the contract until the work, is completed and accepted. If the City takes over the work and if the unpaid balance of the contract price when the City takes over the work exceeds the cost of completing the work, including compensation for any damage or expenses incurred by the City through the default of the contractor, such excess shall be paid to the contractor. In such event, if such cost expenses, and damages shall exceed such unpaid balance of the contract price, the contractor and their surety shall pay the difference to the City. Such cost, expenses, and damages shall be certified by the Engineer.
(2) The City may take control of the work and either make good the deficiencies of the contractor itself or direct the activities of the contractor in doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such event, the City shall be entitled to collect from the contractor and their surety, or to deduct from any payment then or thereafter due the contractor, the costs incurred by it through the default of the contractor, provided the Engineer approves the amount thus charged to the contractor.
(3) The City may require the surety on the contractor’s performance bond to take control of the work at once and see to it that all deficiencies of the contractor are made good with due diligence. As between the City and the surety the cost of making good such deficiencies shall all be borne by the surety. If the surety takes over the work, whether upon termination of the services of the contractor or upon instructions from the City to do so, the provisions of the contract shall govern in respect to the work done by the surety, the surety being substituted for the contractor as to such provisions of this section as to the right of the City to do the work itself or to take control of the work, 8-1.08A - Contractor’s Right to Stop Work or Terminate Contract — If the work shall be stopped under an order of any court or other public authority for a period of three months through no act or fault of the contractor or of anyone employed by them, then the contractor may on seven days’ written notice to the City and the Engineer, stop work or terminate this contract and recover from the City payment for all work executed, any losses sustained on any plant or material, and a reasonable profit.

ASPHALT SLURRY SEAL
PART ONE ‐ PART 1 – GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE
The intent of this section is to provide direction in the design, testing, quality control, measurement, and payment procedures for the application of polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt slurry seal. Slurry Seal shall conform at minimum to the provisions in Section 37‐2, “Slurry Seal” of the State Standards.
1.02 DESCRIPTION
Polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt slurry seal shall consist of a mixture of a polymer‐ modified emulsified asphalt, mineral aggregate, water, and additives, proportioned, mixed and uniformly spread over a properly prepared surface as directed by the Buyer's Authorized Representative (B.A.R.). The polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt slurry seal shall be applied in a single layer as a homogeneous mat, adhere firmly to the prepared surface, and have a skid‐ resistant texture throughout its service life.
PART TWO ‐ PART 2 – MATERIALS
2.01 POLYMER‐MODIFIED EMULSIFIED ASPHALT
A. GENERAL
The emulsified asphalt shall be polymer modified. The polymer material shall be milled or blended into the asphalt or emulsifier solution prior to the emulsification process. Three percent (3%) polymer solids, based on asphalt weight, is considered typical. Polymer solids percentages other that three percent shall be clearly identified in the improvement plans.
B. QUALITY TESTS
The polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt, and polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt residue, shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 316, AASHTO M 208 or ASTM D 2397 for CQS‐1h, CQS‐1hp, or CQS‐1P, with the following exceptions:

1 To prevent degradation of the polymer in polymer‐modified emulsions, there are two options to consider. Option No. 1 is to recover the residual asphalt by distillation at 350°F (177°C), maintaining that temperature for 20 minutes. Option No. 2 is to recover the residual asphalt by oven evaporation according to ASTM D6934 or AASHTO T 59.
NOTE: When results from the oven evaporation method fail to meet the specification requirements, rerun the tests using residual asphalt obtained from 350°F distillation method.
Each load of emulsified asphalt shall be accompanied with a Certificate of Compliance/Conformance or other documentation as defined in the Supplier Quality Acceptance Plan to indicate that the emulsion meets the specifications.
2.02 AGGREGATE
A. GENERAL
The mineral aggregate used shall be the type specified for the particular application requirements of the slurry seal. The aggregate shall be crushed stone such as granite, slag, limestone, chat, or other high‐quality aggregate, or combination thereof. To assure the material is 100 percent crushed, the parent aggregate will be larger than the largest stone in the gradation to be used. Aggregate shall conform at minimum to the requirements of Section 161
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐3
37‐2.02 “Aggregate” of the State Standards for each Type of Slurry Seal, with spread rates as identified in Part 9 of this Section.
B. QUALITY TESTS
The aggregate should meet agency specified polishing values and these minimum requirements:

# 50 (330 um) 25 – 42 18 – 30 12 – 25 ± 4%
# 100 (150 um) 15 – 30 10 – 21 7 – 18 ± 3%
# 200 (75 um) 10 – 20 5 – 15 5 – 15 ± 5%
The gradation of the aggregate stockpile shall not vary by more than the stockpile tolerance from the mix design gradation (indicated in the table above) while also remaining within the specification gradation band. The percentage of aggregate passing any two successive sieves shall not change from one end of the specified range to the other end.
The aggregate will be accepted at the job location or stockpile based on five gradation tests sampled according to AASHTO T 2 (ASTM D 75). If the average of the five tests is within the stockpile tolerance from the mix design gradation, the material will be accepted. If the average of those test results is out of specification or tolerance, the contractor will be given the choice 162
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐4
to either remove the material or blend additional aggregate with the stockpile material to bring it into compliance. Materials used in blending must meet the required aggregate quality test specifications (see Section 2.02.b) before blending and must be blended in a manner to produce a consistent gradation. Aggregate blending may require a new mix design.
Screening shall be required at the stockpile if there are any problems created by oversized materials in the mix.
Type I. This aggregate gradation is used to fill surface voids, address moderate surface distresses, and provide protection from the elements. The fineness of this mixture provides the ability for some crack penetration.
Type II. This aggregate gradation is used to fill surface voids, address more severe surface distresses, seal, and provide a durable wearing surface.
Type III. This aggregate gradation provides maximum skid resistance and an improved wearing surface.
2.03 MINERAL FILLER
Mineral filler may be used to improve mixture consistency and to adjust mixture breaking and curing properties. Portland cement, hydrated lime, limestone dust, fly ash, or other approved filler meeting the requirements of ASTM D 242 shall be used if required by the mix design.
Typical use levels are normally 0.0 ‐ 3.0 percent and may be considered part of the aggregate gradation.
2.04 WATER
The water shall be free of harmful salts and contaminants. If the quality of the water is in question, it should be submitted to the laboratory with the other raw materials for the mix design.
2.05 ADDITIVES
Additives may be used to accelerate or retard the break/set of the slurry seal. Appropriate additives, and their applicable use range, should be approved by the laboratory as part of the mix design.
PART THREE ‐ LABORATORY EVALUATION
3.01 GENERAL
Before work begins, the contractor shall submit a signed mix design covering the specific materials to be used on the project. This design will be performed by a laboratory which has experience in designing Polymer‐Modified Emulsified Asphalt Slurry Seal. After the mix design has been approved, no material substitution will be permitted unless approved by the B.A.R. 163
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐5
3.02 MIX DESIGN
Compatibility of the aggregate, emulsified asphalt, water, mineral filler, and other additives shall be evaluated in the mix design. The mix design shall be completed using materials consistent with those supplied by the contractor for the project. Recommended tests and values are as follows:
The mixing test is used to predict the time the material can be mixed before it begins to break. It can be a good reference check to verify consistentsources of material. The laboratory should verify that mix and set times are appropriate for the climatic conditions expected during the project.
The laboratory shall also report the quantitative effects of moisture content on the unit weight of the aggregate (bulking effect) according to AASHTO T19 (ASTM C29). The report must clearly show the proportions of aggregate, mineral filler (if used) and polymer‐modified emulsified asphalt, based on the dry weight of the aggregate.
The percentages of each individual material required shall be shown in the laboratory report. Based on field conditions, adjustments within the specific ranges of the mix design may be required.
The component materials shall be designed within the following limits:
COMPONENT MATERIALS LIMITS

3.03 MIX TOLERANCES
Tolerances for the slurry seal mixture are as follows:
a. After the polymer‐modified residual asphalt content is determined, any variations (based on percent of weight of dry aggregate) that will be permitted must be defined in the mix design for the project.
b. The rate of application shall not vary more than ± 2 lb/yd2 (± 1.1 kg/m2 ) when the surface
texture does not vary significantly.
PART FOUR ‐ EQUIPMENT
4.01 GENERAL
All equipment, tools, and machines used in the application of slurry seal shall be maintained in satisfactory working condition at all times.
4.02 MIXING EQUIPMENT
The machine shall be specifically designed and manufactured to apply polymer‐modified slurry seal. The material shall be mixed by an automatic‐sequenced, self‐propelled, slurry seal mixing machine of either truck‐mounted or continuous‐run design. Either type machine shall be able to accurately deliver and proportion the mix components through a mixer and to discharge the mixed product on a continuous‐flow basis.
The Contractor shall submit an equipment list to the Engineer. In some cases, truck‐mounted machines may be more suited, i.e. cul‐de‐sacs, small narrow roadways, parking lots, etc. On some projects, continuous‐run equipment may be utilized due to the continuity of mix and the reduction ofstart‐up joints. Generally, truck‐mounted machines or continuous‐run machines may be used on similar projects.
If continuous‐run equipment is used, the machine shall provide the operator with full control of the forward and reverse speeds during application of the slurry seal. It shall be equipped with a self‐loading device and opposite‐side driver stations. The self‐loading device, opposite‐side driver stations, and forward and reverse speed controls shall be of original equipment‐manufacturer design.
4.03 PROPORTIONING DEVICES
Individual volume or weight controls for proportioning mix components shall be provided and properly labeled to determine the material output at any time.
4.04 SPREADING EQUIPMENT
The mixture shall be agitated and spread uniformly in the spreader box by means of twin shafted paddles or spiral augers fixed in the box. With polymer‐modified, quick‐set systems, mechanical agitation may extend mix time. The slurry seal mixture shall have the proper consistency asit enters the spreader box. Spraying of additional water into the spreader box will not be permitted. 165
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐7
A front seal shall be utilized to ensure no loss of the mixture at the road contact point. The rear seal shall act as final strike‐off and shall be adjustable. The spreader box and rear seal shall be designed and operated to provide uniform mix consistency behind the box. The spreader box shall have suitable means to side shift to compensate for variations in the pavement geometry. A burlap drag or other approved screed may be attached to the rear of the spreader box to provide a highly textured uniform surface. A drag stiffened by hardened slurry shall be replaced immediately.
4.05 AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
Suitable surface preparation equipment, traffic control equipment, hand tools, and other support and safety equipment necessary to perform the work shall be provided by the contractor.
PART FIVE ‐ CALIBRATION
Each mixing unit to be used in performance of the work shall be calibrated in the presence of the B.A.R. prior to the start of the project. Previous calibration documentation covering the exact materials to be used may be acceptable, provided the calibration was performed during the previous 60 days. The documentation shall include an individual calibration of each material at various settings, which can be related to the machine's metering devices. Any equipment replacement affecting material proportioning requires that the machine be recalibrated. No machine will be allowed to work on the project until the calibration has been accepted.
PART SIX ‐ WEATHER LIMITATIONS
The slurry seal shall not be applied if either the pavement or air temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and falling, but may be applied when both pavement and air temperatures are above 45°F (7°C) and rising. No slurry seal shall be applied when there is the possibility of freezing temperatures at the project location within 24 hours after application. The mixture shall not be applied when weather conditions prolong opening to traffic beyond a reasonable time.
PART SEVEN ‐ NOTIFICATION AND TRAFFIC CONTROL
7.01 NOTIFICATION
Contractorshall prepare and submit to Engineer a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) outlining the types and locations of traffic control devises to be utilized during construction.
Homeowners and businesses affected by the paving shall be notified at least two days (48 hours) in advance of the surfacing. Should work not occur on the specified day, a new notification will be distributed. The notification shall be posted in written form, stating the time and date that the surfacing will take place. If necessary, signage alerting traffic to the intended project should be posted. Notification above and beyond that which is identified herein must be stated clearly in the improvement plans or bid specifications.
166
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐8
7.02 TRAFFIC CONTROL
Traffic control devices shall be in accordance with agency requirements and, if necessary, conform to the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Opening to traffic does not constitute acceptance of the work.
In areas that are subject to an increased rate of sharp‐turning vehicles, additional time may be required for a more complete cure of the slurry seal mat to prevent damage. Tire marks may be evident in these areas after opening but typically diminish over time with rolling traffic.
7.03 PUBLIC SAFETY
Whenever the Contractor’s operations create a condition hazardous to traffic or to the public, he shall furnish, at his own expense and without cost to the Owner, such flagmen and guards as are necessary to give adequate warning to the public of any dangerous conditions to be encountered, and he shall furnish, erect, and maintain such fences, barricades, lights, signs, and other devices as are necessary to prevent accidents and avoid damage or injury to the public.
No material or equipment shall be stored where is will interfere with the free and safe passage of public traffic, and at the end of the day’s work, and at other times when construction operations are suspended for any reason, the contractor shall remove all equipment and other obstructions from that portion of the roadway open for use by public traffic.
PART EIGHT ‐ SURFACE PREPARATION
8.01 GENERAL
Prior to applying the slurry seal, loose material, oil spots, vegetation, and other objectionable material shall be removed. Any standard cleaning method will be acceptable. If water is used, cracksshall be allowed to dry thoroughly before slurry surfacing. Manholes, valve boxes, drop inlets and otherservice entrancesshall be protected from the slurry seal by a suitable method. The B.A.R. shall approve the surface preparation prior to surfacing.
8.02 TACK COAT
Tack coat is required where the surface to be covered is extremely dry and raveled or is concrete or brick. If required, the emulsified asphalt should be SS, CSS, or the slurry seal emulsion. Consult with the slurry seal emulsion supplier to determine dilution stability. The tack coat may consist of one‐part emulsified asphalt/three parts water and should be applied with a standard distributor.
The distributor shall be capable of applying the dilution evenly at a rate of 0.05‐0.15 gal/yd2 (0.23‐
0.68 l/m2
). The tack coat shall be allowed to cure sufficiently before the application of slurry seal.
When asphaltic emulsion is used as a tack coat, fiberized micro surfacing shall not be placed until the asphaltic emulsion has cured.
8.03 CRACKS
Cracks wider than 0.25” (0.64cm) in the pavement surface shall be prepared and treated with an approved crack sealer prior to application of the slurry seal. Crack sealant shall be Rubberized, hot‐ 167
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐9
applied, single component crack and joint sealant. Crack sealant shall conform to Caltrans Crack Sealant – Type 2 Material and ASTM (D5167). Areas of severe alligator cracking (cracks producing 18” diameter blocks or less) shall be cracked sealed unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Cracksto be filled and adjacent asphalt concrete surfacing shall be cleaned and shall be free of dirt, vegetation, debris, and loose sealant. Cleaning shall be done by air blasting. Old sealant which protrudes above the asphalt concrete surfacing shall be completely removed.
Crack sealant materialshall be spread with a nozzle or device approved for use by the Engineer and be placed within the specified temperature range. Cracks shall be squeegeed as necessary after application of the crack sealant material. Within two (2) days after application of sealant, sealed cracks that reopen or in which the sealant material sags below the surrounding asphalt concrete surfacing and shoulders shall be resealed.
8.04 REMOVAL OF TRAFFIC STRIPES, MARKINGS AND MARKERS
All thermoplastic traffic stripes, markings and markers shall be removed prior to applying slurry seal.
Thermoplastic traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be removed by grinding that does not materially damage the existing pavement. Pavement marking images shall be removed in such a manner that the old message cannot be identified. The pavement marking image shall be removed by grinding a rectangular area. The minimum dimensions of the rectangle shall be the height and width of the pavement marking. Residue resulting from removal operations shall be removed from pavement surface by sweeping or vacuuming before the residue is blown by the action of traffic or wind, migrates across lanes or shoulders, or enters into drainage facilities.
PART NINE ‐ APPLICATION
9.01 GENERAL
If required, it is recommended that a test strip be placed in conditions similar to those expected to be encountered during the project.
The surface may be wetted with water ahead of the spreader box. The rate of application of the water spray shall be adjusted during the day to suit temperature, surface texture, humidity, and dryness of the pavement. Pooling or standing water shall be avoided.
The slurry seal shall be of the desired consistency upon exiting the mixer. A sufficient amount of material shall be carried in all parts of the spreader box at all times so that complete coverage is achieved. Overloading of the spreader shall be avoided.
No lumping, balling, or unmixed aggregate shall be permitted.
Significant streaks, such as those caused by oversized aggregate or broken mix, shall not be left in the finished surface. If excessive streaking occurs, the job will be stopped until the cause of the problem has been corrected. Some situations may require screening the aggregate prior to loading it into the units going from the stockpile area to the jobsite. 168
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐10
9.02 RATE OF APPLICATION
The slurry seal mixture shall be of the proper consistency at all times so as to provide the application rate required by the surface condition. The average application rate shall be in accordance with the following table:
AGGREGATE TYPE LOCATION APPLICATION RATE
Type I Parking Areas
Urban and Residential Streets
8 – 12 lb/yd2
(4.3 – 6.5 kg/m2
)
Type II Urban and Residential Street 14 – 18 lb/yd2
(5.4 – 9.8 kg/m2
)
Type III Primary and Interstate Routes 18 – 24 lb/yd2
(8.1 – 12.0 kg/m2
)
Suggested application rates are based upon the weight of dry aggregate in the mixture. Application rates are affected by the unit weight and gradation of the aggregate and the demand of the surface to which the slurry seal is being applied.
9.03 JOINTS
No excess buildup, uncovered areas, or unsightly appearance shall be permitted on longitudinal or transverse joints. The contractor shall provide suitable equipment to produce a minimum number of longitudinal jointsthroughout the project. When possible, a longitudinal jointshall not be placed in a wheel path. Less than full box width passes will be used only as required. If less than full box width passes are used, they shall not be the last pass of any paved area. A maximum of 3” (7.62 cm) shall be allowed for overlap of longitudinal joints.
9.04 MIXTURE
The slurry seal shall possess sufficient stability so that premature breaking of the material in the spreader box does not occur. The mixture shall be homogeneous during and following mixing and spreading. It shall be free of excess liquids which create segregation of the aggregate. Spraying of additional water into the spreader box will not be permitted.
9.05 HANDWORK
Areas which cannot be accessed by the mixing machine shall be surfaced using hand squeegees to provide complete and uniform coverage. If necessary, the area to be hand worked shall be lightly dampened prior to mix placement. Handwork shall exhibit the same finish as that applied by the spreader box and shall be completed prior to final surfacing.
9.06 LINES
Care shall be taken to apply straight lines along curbs, shoulders, and intersections. No runoff on these areas will be permitted. Roofing felt or heavy plastic may be used to begin or end a pull cleanly. Where lines occur, no excess buildup (greater than ¼” difference) will be permitted. If this 169
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐11
occurs, work shall be halted, the buildup hand worked, and the machinery adjusted to correct the problem.
9.07 ROLLING (PARKING AREAS ONLY)
Parking areas shall be rolled by a self‐propelled, 10‐ton (maximum) pneumatic tire roller equipped with a water spray system. All tires should be inflated per manufacturer’s specifications. Rolling shall not start until the slurry has cured sufficiently to avoid damage by the roller. Areas which require rolling shall receive a minimum of two (2) full coverage passes and shall be identified clearly on the plans.
9.08 CLEAN UP
All utility access areas, gutters and intersections, shall have the slurry seal removed as specified by the B.A.R. The Contractor shall remove any debris associated with the performance of the work on a daily basis. Overage at gutter pans in excess of 2” shall be removed as soon as possible.
PART TEN ‐ PART 10 – QUALITY CONTROL
10.01 INSPECTION
Local conditions and specific project requirements shall be considered when determining the parameters of field inspection.
Proper mix consistency may be reviewed and inspected at any point during the project. If mixes are too dry, streaking, lumping and roughness will be present in the mat surface.
10.02 MATERIALS
To account for aggregate bulking, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to check stockpile moisture content and to set the machine accordingly. At the Inspector’s discretion, material tests may be run on representative samples of the aggregate and emulsion. Tests will be run at the expense of the buyer. The buyer must notify the contractor immediately if any test fails to meet the specifications.
10.03 SLURRY SEAL
If required, representative samples of the slurry seal may be taken directly from the slurry unit(s).
Consistency (ISSA TB No. 106) and residual asphalt content (ASTM D2172) tests may be run on the samples. Tests will be run at the expense of the buyer. The buyer will notify the Contractor immediately if any test fails to meet specifications.
Data obtained from the proportioning devices on the slurry seal unit may be used to determine individual material quantities and application rate.
10.04 NON‐COMPLIANCE
If any two successive tests fail on the stockpile aggregate, the job shall be stopped. If any two successive tests on the mix from the same machine fail, the use of the machine shall be suspended. 170
Technical Specifications 02 78 50‐12
It will be the responsibility of the Contractor, at his expense, to prove to the Engineer that the problems have been corrected.
10.05 PAYMENT
The slurry seal shall be paid at the lump sum bid price. * * * *

================================================================ ** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75) or 13658 ($13.30). Please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other 263
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for 264
the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
