CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Public Works Department
City Council Agenda Report

April 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO PURCHASE THREE (3) TRAFFIC SIGNAL CABINETS TYPE 332 AND FOUR (4) 2070 CONTROLLERS
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Pursuant to Huntington Park Municipal Code section 2-5.12 Formal Bid Procedures (i): Waive of Bidding. City Council, by a majority vote, may dispense with bidding and other procedures required by this chapter in any individual instance upon finding that it would be impracticable, useless or economically infeasible to follow such procedures and that the public welfare would be promoted by dispensing with them; and

2. Approve the purchase of three (3) Type 332 traffic signal cabinets from SWARCO for $79,380 and four (4) 170 type controllers from SWARCO for $29,923.99, to be paid from Account No. 221-8014-429.74-10; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Type 332 traffic signal cabinet is an industry standard cabinet that harnesses the 170-style controllers which transmits the timing phase at signalized intersections. The Type 332 cabinet has dual (front and rear) doors that provide convenient access to the controller. The Type 332 cabinet is compatible with the existing traffic signal setup that the City currently possess. The majority of the City’s traffic control system is proprietary in nature, thus substituting alternative cabinetry or other pertinent equipment is not recommended.

Staff fulfilled their fiduciary responsibility by reaching out to vendors that supply cabinets and controllers. Three informal proposals were obtained from the same three vendors for both the controllers and cabinets:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO PURCHASE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TYPE 332 CABINET AND 170 CONTROLLER
April 7, 2025

Controllers:
• SWARCO (Attachment 1 - $29,923.99)
• Skyline Safety and Supply (Attachment 2 - $32,518.52) • JAM Services (Attachment 3 - $32,298.84)
Cabinets:
• SWARCO (Attachment 4 - $79,380)
• Skyline Safety and Supply (Attachment 5 - $83,349)
• JAM Services (Attachment 6 - $85,664.25)

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Pursuant to Huntington Park Municipal Code section 2-5.12 Formal bid procedures:
(i) Waive of Bidding. City Council, by a majority vote, may dispense with bidding and other procedures required by this chapter in any individual instance upon finding that it would be impracticable, useless or economically infeasible to follow such procedures and that the public welfare would be promoted by dispensing with them.

Additionally, staff recommends waiving the formal bidding process since soliciting informal bid proposal does not produce an advantage and the advertisement for competitive bids is unnecessary and impractical.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Approval of this item will authorize the purchase of three (3) Type 332 cabinets and four (4) 170 controllers from SWARCO for a total of $79,380 and $29,923.99, respectively, payable from Account No. 221-8014-429.74-10. This item was included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget.

CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

Respectfully submitted,

A. For the purposes of this Third Amendment, the term “Watershed Permittees” shall mean the Cities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, Vernon, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District; and
B. The Watershed Permittees and GWMA are collectively referred to as the “PARTIES”; and
C.

D. The Watershed Permittees prepared and submitted the Plans to the Regional Board in compliance with certain elements of the MS4 Permit; and E. On November 17, 2014, the PARTIES entered into a First Amendment to the MOU to: (1) add implementation of the Plans to the scope and purpose of the MOU; and (2) Attachment No. 1

On April 9, 2020, the PARTIES entered into a Second Amendment to the MOU in order to extend the MOU’s term to December 31, 2024; and H. On July 23, 2021, the Los Agngeles Regional Water Quality Control Board approved a new MS4 Permit, which continues the WMP and CIMP permit compliance options; and

Agreement. The PARTIES agree that the following provisions of the MOU shall be amended as follows:

1. The term “MS4 Permit” shall hereafter refer to the “National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges Within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles and Ventura,” Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. R4-2021-0105, NPDES Permit No. CAS004004.

2. Section 6 of the MOU entitled “Term” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Section 6. Term. This MOU shall remain and continue in effect until December 31, 2027, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.”

3. Section 9 of the MOU entitled “Financial Terms” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Section 9. Financial Terms.
a) Each Watershed Permittee shall pay its Proportional Costs as provided in Exhibit A for Consultant and any other related expenses to which the PARTIES may agree in writing.
b) Each Watershed Permittee shall also pay its proportional share of GWMA’s staff time for retaining Consultant and invoicing the Watershed Permittees, audit expenses and other overhead costs, including reasonable legal fees (“MOU Costs”) incurred by GWMA in the performance of its duties under this MOU.

The MOU Costs added by GWMA to each invoice submitted to each Watershed Permittee shall be a percentage based on the following formulas:
-3-
i. GWMA Members: If the Watershed Permittee is a GWMA Member, then the MOU Costs do not include the GWMA’s estimated indirect, overhead costs, which GWMA Members absorb as part of their annual membership dues. The rate charged to GWMA Members in order to recover the MOU Costs will range between zero percent (0%) and five percent (5%) of the Watershed Permittee’s Proportional Costs. On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rate charged to GWMA Members to ensure it adequately recovers the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this MOU. Based on this review, the GWMA Board will establish the rate charged to recover the MOU Costs for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Representative fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect.
ii. Non-GWMA Members. If the Watershed Permittee is not a GWMA Member (currently LACFCD), then the MOU Costs will also include the GWMA’s estimated indirect, overhead costs. In order to recover direct MOU Costs, the rate charged to Non-GWMA Members will range between five percent (5%) and ten percent (10%) of theWatershed Permittee’s Proportional Costs and the rate charged to recover indirect MOU Costs will range between two percent (2%) and five percent (5%) of the Watershed Permittee’s Proportional Costs.

On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rates charged to Non-GWMA Members to ensure they adequately recovers the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this MOU. Based on this review, the GWMA Board may increase or decrease the rates charged to recover the MOU Costs, including both direct and indirect costs, for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Representative fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect. c) GWMA shall submit an invoice to each Watershed Permittee reflecting each Watershed Permittee’s estimated Proportional Costs of the Consultant’s services through the following June 30th. Prior to releasing payment to Consultant, GWMA shall submit a copy of the Consultant’s invoices to the Representative for approval by the LAR UR 2 Sub Watershed Committee. The decision regarding whether to pay the invoice shall be communicated to the GWMA by the Representative.
d) Upon receiving an invoice from GWMA, each Watershed Permittee shall pay its Proportional Costs set forth in that invoice to the GWMA within forty-five days (45) days of receipt.
e) By March 15th of each year, the Representative shall submit to GWMA a recommended budget for the following fiscal year. GWMA shall consider the recommendation and adopt a budget by June 30th inclusive of the Representative’s recommendation. GWMA will send each Watershed Permittee no later than June 30th of each year an invoice representing the Watershed Permittee’s Proportional Costs of the adopted budget. GWMA shall not expend funds in excess of each -4-
annual budgeted amount without prior notification to and approval by the Representative.
f) Each Watershed Permittee shall review its recommended Proportional Costs for the upcoming fiscal year in a timely manner for inclusion in its next budget cycle or exercise the withdrawal and termination clause as specified in Section 13.a of the MOU.
g) A Watershed Permittee will be delinquent if the invoiced payment is within the budgeted amounts or the amounts authorized by the Group and such invoiced payment is not received by the GWMA within forty-five (45) days after the GWMA first sent the invoice. The GWMA will follow the procedure listed below, or such other procedure that the Group directs to effectuate payment: 1) verbally contact the official of the Watershed Permittee with copies to each other Watershed Permittee to the person and at the address to which notices should be addressed pursuant to Section 14 of the MOU, and 2) submit a formal letter from the GWMA Executive Officer to the Watershed Permittee. If payment is not received within sixty (60) days following the due date, the GWMA may terminate the MOU unless the City Managers/Administrators of the Watershed Permittees in good standing inform the GWMA in writing that their respective Watershed Permittees agree to adjust their Proportional Cost allocations in accordance with the Cost Share Formula in Exhibit A. The terminated Watershed Permittee shall remain obligated to GWMA for its delinquent payments and any other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination.
h) GWMA shall suspend all work being performed by the Consultant if any Watershed Permittee has not paid its invoice within forty five (45) days after the GWMA first sent the invoice unless the City Managers/Administrators of the other Watershed Permittees inform the GWMA in writing that their respective Watershed Permittees will pay the delinquent Watershed Permittee’s costs once the MOU with the delinquent Watershed Permittee has been terminated. i) Any delinquent payments by a Watershed Permittee shall accrue compound interest at the then-current rate of interest in the Local Agency Investment Fund, calculated from the first date of delinquency until the payment is made. j) Funds remaining in the possession of the GWMA at the end of the term of this MOU, or at the termination of this MOU, whichever occurs earlier, shall be promptly returned to the then remaining Watershed Permittees in accordance with the Cost Share Formula in Exhibit A.
k) The PARTIES agree that if any other entity decides to cost share any element of the WMP or CIMP, GWMA will enter into a separate MOU with that entity and will reduce the Watershed Permittees’ future invoice amount(s) accordingly.” -5-

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Approve Change Orders 1 through 9; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders 1 through 9 for All American Asphalt, totaling $1,078,293.84.

BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2023, the City of Huntington Park awarded the contract for the construction of the CIP 2019-02 Slauson Avenue Congestion Relief Project to All American Asphalt, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract, valued at a not-to-exceed amount of $9,143,090.77 (Option 2), includes the concrete of five intersections where traffic signals will be upgraded. A portion of the cost will be covered by reimbursable Metro Measure R grant funds.

Key improvements included increasing queuing capacity in left-turn pockets, relocating bus stops to the far side of intersections for enhanced operational efficiency, and upgrading five signalized intersections with new signal poles, conduits, wiring, controller cabinets, and video detection systems. PCC Intersection and asphalt paving.

CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE ORDERS NUMBER 1 THROUGH 9 FOR THE CIP 2019-02 SLAUSON AVENUE CONGESTION RELIEF PROJECT
April 7, 2025

During construction, unforeseen conditions required additional work. The following changes are submitted for review and approval:
• Change Order No. 1 – The contractor requested an additional $520,051.65 due to the omission of Traffic Signal Poles in the estimate by the design engineer.

These poles, which were initially to be provided by the City, have now been added to Bid Items 41 through 45, resulting in a contract increase of $423,406.

Additionally, 25 working days are granted, with up to 90 extra days allowed for pole ordering if necessary.
• Change Order No. 2 – The contractor requested additional labor and materials to meet ADA requirements, costing $47,250 for extra sidewalk work. A $17,500 credit is applied for the southwest corner of Pacific Boulevard. The contractor is also compensated for the underestimation of sidewalk and curb removals and installations by the design engineer. The total compensation for this work is $199,016, covering increases and decreases in various bid items. No additional working days are granted for this change order.
• Change Order No. 3 – No cost. This change order accounts for the extra flatwork (sidewalk and concrete work) provided in Change Order No. 2 to cover Invoice No. 1 and compensates for the high-priced Bid Item No. 37 (Asphaltic Concrete Base Course), which covers the unexpected deep concrete encountered during median removals.
• Change Order No. 4 – The contractor will be paid $78,269.67 for the following work: replacing a bus pad on Bickett Street, pavers on Pacific Boulevard, realigning curbs on Alameda Street, installing a double pedestal on Santa Fe Avenue, extra curb and gutter work, and removing railroad tracks. • Change Order No. 5 – The total increase for Bid Item No. 1 is $29,072.16 for signal conduit work on State Street. This change order does not include any additional working days.
• Change Order No. 6 – Additional work was performed at the Santa Fe and Miles Avenue intersections, incorporated into Bid Items 42 and 43. This included investigating an unmarked utility and addressing obstructions at the Miles Avenue corners. Furthermore, coordination with Edison was required for installing a pedestal on Miles Avenue. No additional working days were granted for this extra work.

CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE ORDERS NUMBER 1 THROUGH 9 FOR THE CIP 2019-02 SLAUSON AVENUE CONGESTION RELIEF PROJECT
April 7, 2025

• Change Order No. 7 – Consisting of grinding concrete, removing trolley tracks on Pacific Blvd, and replacing curb on Slauson Ave. This amount includes agreed costs for labor and materials. Additionally, 109 extra working days are granted to cover delays from signalization equipment and Edison’s work at Bickett Street.
• Change Order No. 8 – Unexpected project challenges led to a bid item increase of $134,379.43. This includes costs for applying Petrotac over concrete slabs to ensure proper bonding of new material to the existing surface, addressing unmarked utilities, resolving a sand/slurry issue at the northwest corner of Miles Avenue (including time and materials), as well as expenses for additional benches, traffic control, and handrails. No additional working days are granted for this change order.
• Change Order No. 9 – The contractor will receive $69,260.97 for extra work, including unforeseen utility issues, adding push buttons, trenching, sidewalk and pothole work, asbestos testing, and removing and building sidewalks and curb ramps.

These changes ensure project compliance with operational and safety standards while maintaining efficiency.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The City of Huntington Park received $5.6 million from the I-710 Corridor for improvement projects. In September 2024, an additional $3.8 million will be programmed for FY 2024- 25, increasing the total budget to $9.4 million to accommodate rising construction costs.

The project is currently in the construction phase and includes upgrades to signalized intersections through the County’s Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TSSP).

Enhancements will feature new signal poles, conduit, wiring, and controller cabinets with video detection from Santa Fe Avenue eastward to improve traffic flow.

All change orders will be covered under account number 787-8913-499.76-06, ensuring the project remains within its allocated budget without requiring additional appropriations.

Additionally, a 5% construction contingency of $457,154.54 was approved by the City Council on November 7, 2023, setting aside funds to cover the remaining project balance of $3,269,630.31 for completing the Option 2 Project.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Finance Department
City Council Agenda Report
April 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

FISCAL YEAR 2025 MID YEAR BUDGET STATUS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024
FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET STATUS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024, PRESENTS THE BUDGET VS. ACTAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, BUDGET

TRANSFERS BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS, AND RECOMMENDED BUDGET
APPROPRATIONS.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt a resolution to receive and file the FY 2024 Mid-Year Budget Status report as of December 31, 2024; and

2. Approve appropriations and inter-departmental budget transfers; and

3. Authorize the Director of Finance in conjunction with the City Manager to align the department budgets with department expenditures through budget transfers.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The FY 2025 budget was originally adopted at a special City Council meeting on June 25, 2024. By reaching the halfway point of the Fiscal Year, mid-year adjustments are needed to align budgets with expenditures, and the recommended adjustments have been brought forward to City Council for review and approval.

The Mid-Year Budget Status Report shows the City has received 31.5% of the total expected revenue. This is in line with expectations due to the timing of when actual revenues are received by the City. For example, in the Sales Tax area, the state of CA distributes tax revenues to cities two months after it has been collected so, as of December 31, 2024, the City received sales tax collections through October 2024.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 MID YEAR BUDGET STATUS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024
April 7, 2025

The YTD actual expenditures totals shown in the Mid-Year Budget Status Report show that approximately 37% of the expenditures budget has been used, while an additional

11.3% has been encumbered for future expenses. The YTD encumbrance amount, shown below, includes purchase order roll-overs from the prior fiscal year for projects or purchases that were unable to be completed in FY 2024 but are anticipated to be completed in FY 2025, as shown in Appendix A.

During the first half of FY 2025, there have been appropriation requests that total $1,254,603, as shown in Appendix B. Within Appendix B-1 there are account appropriation requests for: Water Supply Purchases, CalPERS Unfunded Liabilities, PARS/PERS Retirement Benefits, Electric & Gas Charges, and Regular Salaries that total to $3,303,900.
• The Water Supply Purchase appropriation request of $354,000 is necessary due to current Well-water production not meeting the current demand. It was expected that the rehabilitation of Well 15 would have a larger impact on water production but the expected impact was significantly lower than expected. • The CalPERS Unfunded Liability appropriation request of $1,483,000 and the PARS/PERS Retirement Benefits appropriation request of $21,500 are necessary due to CalPERS actuarial valuations. These valuations are published in July while the budget was prepared and finalized in May. The CalPERS actuarial valuations FISCAL YEAR 2025 MID YEAR BUDGET STATUS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024
April 7, 2025

came in with a large increase from prior years due to multiple factors such as the number of employees retiring, the age of current employees, and overall market conditions within each CalPERS plan.
• The Insurance Benefits for Active Employees appropriation request of $360,000 is necessary due to an increase in the number of claims due to a backlog in claims being cleared out.
• The Electric & Gas appropriation request of $600,000 is necessary due to SoCal Edison raising electricity rates and changing their billing format to time-of-use therefore increasing monthly operation costs, over the past 8 years electricity costs paid by the city have nearly doubled.
• The Police department’s Regular Salary appropriations request of $300,000 is necessary due to the new POA MOU retroactive salary increase of 10%. • The Bond Interest appropriation request of $185,400 is necessary for the budget to be in line with the bond payment schedule.

Appendix C illustrates the budget transfers that occurred during the first half of FY 2025.

These amounts are not increasing the overall budget expenditure but shifting previously approved budget dollars from one department to another, the total of all transfers equals $812,819. These transfers are for the recognition of expenses in the correct department and fund.

The Full-Time and Part-Time Positions pages of the document have also been updated to reflect the positions requested as of December 31, 2024 and include new positions to reflect department needs. Specifically, the Finance department includes the addition of a Finance Assistant position to better match increased business demand driven by new initiatives/programs. The additional Finance Assistant position will allow City staff to serve more customers efficiently at the counter and process more bill payments, permit payments, dial-a-ride sign-ups, etc.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Finance department is requesting that City Council approve the following Budget Appropriations:
a) The Water Supply Purchase appropriation $354,000
b) The CalPERS Unfunded Liability appropriations $1,483,000 c) The PARS/PERS Retirement Benefits appropriations $21,500 d) The Insurance Benefits for Active Employees appropriation $360,000 e) The Electric and Gas appropriation $600,000
FISCAL YEAR 2025 MID YEAR BUDGET STATUS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024
April 7, 2025

f) The Police department Regular Salary appropriations $300,000 g) The Bond Interest appropriation $185,400
Total Appropriation Request Amount $3,303,900
Of these appropriation requests only $900,000 is being requested from the General Fund.

The other $2.4 mill is being requested from Special, Enterprise, and Internal Service Funds. Therefore, the financial burden does not fall solely onto the General Fund. It should be noted that these funds, have fund balance to cover the appropriations needed to finish out the fiscal year.

CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager

City Council Agenda Report
April 07, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SPENDING

LIMITS POLICY FOR PURCHASING AUTHORITY FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND

DIRECTORS AND THE UPDATED PURCHASING
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt Resolution amending Resolution No. 2024-17, Establishing a Spending Limits Policy for Purchasing Authority for the City Manager, Director of Finance and Department Heads; and

2. Approve of the City’s updated Purchasing Manual, Purchase Value Thresholds, Sections L-M.

BACKGROUND
A spending limit policy ensures that sound fiscal and budgetary practices are implemented by imposing certain limits upon the City Manager, and all Department Heads of the City, including their staff and employees.

The last time the limits were reviewed was in 2024. In order to more efficiently conduct the operations of the City, the following limits are being recommended for adjustment:
• The City Manager shall have the authority to purchase supplies, services or equipment in the amount of $1,000 or greater, but not to exceed $100,000, without prior City Council approval.
• The Director of Finance shall have the authority to purchase supplies, services or equipment up to an amount not to exceed $35,000. • The Department Heads shall have the authority to purchase supplies, services or equipment up to an amount not to exceed $5,000. • The City Manager shall have the authority to settle or resolve claims, lawsuits or other legal matters or disputes in an amount not to exceed $200,000 without prior City Council approval.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF THE FINANACE DEPARTMENT’S

UPDATED PURCHASING MANUAL
April 07, 2025

The policy also addresses emergency situations in the following fashion:

In the event of an emergency, as defined below, emergency purchases may be authorized by the City Manager, including the Interim City Manager, which exceed the above spending limits when time is of the essence. “Emergency Situation” shall be defined as follows:
(a) To preserve or protect life, health or property;
(b) In circumstances involving natural disasters;
(c) To forestall a shut-down of essential public services.

When emergency purchases have been approved by the City Manager, these purchases shall be submitted to the City Council at the earliest possible date for ratification of such purchases.

This policy also requires all other Federal, State and local laws must be followed for bidding and Request For Proposal (RFP) requirements.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council approved a revised Purchasing Manual in January 2025. Since that time, it has become apparent that the approval authority established by the policy inhibits the City’s efficiency in the purchasing process.

The proposed update aligns the approval authority monetary thresholds to amounts more closely aligned with the industry standards for cities with a similar populations and complexity to the City of Huntington Park.

Changes to the policy include changing the approval authority limits of the Department Heads from $1,000 to $5,000, the Finance Director from $1,000 to $35,000, and the City Manager from $50,000 to $100,000.

Overall, these changes will reduce the number of relatively small dollar purchases going to the City Manager for approval and increasing the speed at which the City can obtain supplies and services.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF THE FINANACE DEPARTMENT’S

UPDATED PURCHASING MANUAL
April 07, 2025

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
There is no associated cost with the updates made to the Finance Department’s updated Purchasing Manual, Purchase Value Thresholds, Sections L-M

CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager

JEFF JONES
Director of Finance

Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

Section B: Ethical Standards and Conflict of Interest
Ethical Standards and Conflict of Interest: The City is extremely sensitive to what constitutes unethical purchasing behavior and what, while legal, constitutes the appearance of unethical behavior. City staff is prohibited from accepting gifts from any individual or organization when the relationship between the organization or individual and the city employee stems from the employee’s role as city employee. In addition to State law requirements, City employees shall not realize or attempt to realize personal gain directly or indirectly through a purchase by or service provided to the City.

1. It is impermissible for an employee, or any member of the employee’s immediate family, to have a financial interest in any purchase or service provided to the City.

2. A business or organization, in which the employee or any member of the employee’s immediate family has a financial interest, cannot be involved in and purchase or service provided to the City.

3. Any other person, business or organization, with whom the employee or any member of the employee’s immediate family is negotiating or has an arrangement concerning prospective employment, cannot be involved in any purchase or service provided to the City.

4. No City employee operating a business outside of their current City employment or employed by an outside business shall do business with or provide a service to the City through their outside business or employment.

5. Kickbacks are financial payments made to an employee who has facilitated a purchase or contract. Kickbacks are illegal and violate purchasing policies and procedures.
(§ 2, Ord. 698-NS, eff. March 18, 2003, as amended by § 2, Ord. 881-NS, eff.

January 19, 2012)

6. The Purchasing Agent and other employees involved in the purchasing process are frequently made privy to confidential information, in the course of their duties, and the prohibition against the misuse of confidential information is just as fundamental to ethical purchasing as it is to any other sphere of government.

Employees and former employees should not knowingly use confidential information for actual or anticipated personal gain or for the gain of any other person.

7. Under the regulations established by the Political Reform Act, certain Public Officials and Board or Commission Members must disclose conflict of interest.

Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

Department representative will share the results of reference checks and through negotiation, the evaluation committee will rank the candidates and come to a consensus of the top
candidate.

C. Once firms are ranked based upon qualifications, staff will determine if the highestranking firm’s cost proposal is reasonable prior to making a recommendation for selection. If the cost proposal is found to be unreasonable, staff can negotiate with the highest-ranking firm. If the desired outcome is not achieved, then staff should move to the second highest ranking firm. This process can continue until a firm is selected, or the Department Director, in consultation with the Finance Director, rejects all proposals and either cancels the project or revises the RFP in such a manner that will likely result in the receipt of acceptable proposals for the project.

Determining a reasonable cost is based upon comparison of proposals, project budget, prior experience, comparative project costs in neighboring cities and professional judgment.

E. Contracts
Once the top candidate has been determined to be the most qualified, the project scope of work and price can be further negotiated. If the selected consultant’s pricing exceeds the budget or what the City has determined to be a reasonable price for the job, the City may end negotiations with that consultant and begin negotiations with the next most qualified consultant.

Section V: Sole Source
Purpose: To define the justifications for using sole source to waive procurement policies.

A monopoly (sole source) is an "Exclusive control of the supply of any commodity given market. If there exists more than one manufacture/source in a given market, a monopoly does not exist." Unique commodities and services which can be obtained from only one vendor or one distributor authorized to sell in Huntington Park, with singular characteristics or performance capabilities or which have specific compatibility components with existing City products are exempt from the competitive bidding requirements in City’s Purchasing Manual and are deemed sole source purchases. Sole source purchases may include proprietary items sold directly from the manufacturer. Sole source purchases can be awarded without bidding when the item can be obtained from only one source, and the item does not economically lend itself to substitution.

Policy: Sole source purchases, while may be occasionally necessary and desirable, should not be abused or used as a means of avoiding effort. Sole source purchases should be made in accordance with the following guidelines. (§ 2, Ord. 698-NS, eff. March 18, 2003)
Procedure: Sole source acquisitions must be justified in sufficient detail to explain the basis for suspending the usual competitive procurement process. A Sole Source Justification Form must be submitted with the Purchase Requisition Form. The form must be signed by the Department Head and approved by the Director of Finance and City Manager. As with any other purchase, staff must establish facts indicating the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. Final determination that an item is a valid sole source purchase will be made by the Purchasing Agent.

1. Sole source purchases, from $5,000 to $100,000, shall be approved by the Director of Finance and City Manager. Any sole source of over $100,000 requires City Council approval.

Supplies, Material, Equipment, & General Services

1. Department must demonstrate that the Supplies, Material, Equipment, & General Services are:

A. Proprietary:
1) An item that is held under exclusive title, trademark or copyright by a private person or company.
2) A proprietary distributorship would also apply.
1) Bidding should occur among those vendors that provide the name brand specified.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

2) If a proprietary distributorship is responsible for an entire area, therefore eliminating the possibility of bidding, the item is considered a sole source item and is subject to the provisions as outlined above.

B. Standardization:
1) A Brand that must match or inter-member with an existing system, and cannot be substituted without replacing the system, resulting in significant costs to the City.
2) Purchase will avoid other costs (e.g., data conversion, training, purchase of additional hardware, etc.).
3) An established agreement for the use of a particular product, normally subject to bidding, in lieu of other similar or equal products, based on its design, and quality or physical characteristics, which is reviewed and approved by the Department Director as a City standard. 4) Bidding may occur among those distributors who provide the product that has been established as the City standard, or the product may meet sole source criteria and is subject to the provisions above.

2. Sole Source Justification Form: Department must submit a Sole Source Justification Form with their requisition, explaining the basis for a sole source purchase. Inadequate information may result in the rejection of the purchase requisition.

Section W: Cooperative Purchasing
Purpose: City Departments should always strive to get the best government pricing when available.

Policy: Cooperative Purchasing allows the City to dispense with formal or informal bidding requirements in cases where the contract or purchase is capable of being performed through purchasing contracts negotiated by another governmental agency that utilized acceptable bidding procedures under California law.

Procedure: Cooperative purchasing may be utilized by the City when striving to get the best pricing for a contract or purchase.

1. Cooperative: The Purchasing Division may participate in purchases and contracts established by other public or governmental agencies, provided the cooperative agreement has not expired and is established following a competitive bid process.

In a cooperative purchase setting, one agency represents several agencies by going out to bid, including the needs of the other agencies in the bid specifications.

This provides for a higher product volume being purchased, resulting in lower unit costs for all agencies. Needed documentation includes copies of the other jurisdiction’s bid document, and any Board or Council action awarding the contract, and the unexpired contract document. If the award calculation included a local preference and was awarded to their local vendor the bid cannot be used.

2. Contracts Negotiated by Another Governmental Agency: An existing unexpired contract for goods between another local, state or federal government agency and a vendor may be used to purchase the same goods as those outlined in the awarding bid document. When using an existing, unexpired, government contract, the City must use the exact contract as it was awarded by the other agency. The item being purchased must be purchased as specified/awarded and cannot be modified in any way. Also, the terms of the contract and price of the item must be as specified in the contract or awarding document. The contract for consideration must have been awarded through a competitive bidding process prepared by and awarded by another local, state, or federal government agency.

The supporting documentation needed includes copies of the other jurisdiction’s bid document, and any Board or Council action awarding the contract, and the unexpired contract document. If the award calculation included a local preference and was awarded to their local vendor the bid cannot be used.

Multiple Awarded Bids: Multiple awarded bids are generally conducted by larger Federal, State, or other governmental agencies wherein a bidding process is conducted for a specified product. Several vendors whose product meets the specification are awarded the contract. An example of a multiple awarded contract is the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS). The CMAS Program creates a pool of suppliers that an agency can solicit offers from. The awarded CMAS is structured to comply with Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

California procurement codes, guidelines, and policies, and provide for the highest level of contractual protection. City staff must obtain quotes from at least three vendors on the list and award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder. The purchase is subject to the approval process in the Purchase Value Threshold section of this manual.

Section Z: Capital Project Progress Payments
Purpose: To establish a policy and procedure for the payment for capital projects and retention of security deposits for satisfactory completion of capital projects Policy: Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, payments for capital projects will be made at reasonable intervals in relation to work progress.

In accordance with the City’s contract and specifications, the City retains 10% of the payment due to the Contractor, as security deposit to ensure that all contract work is satisfactorily completed, without any liens or claims filed by the subcontractor(s). Security deposits shall be released to the contractor upon the filing of a “Notice of Completion.” The City typically releases the retention no sooner than 35 days, subsequent to the City’s acceptance of the contract work.

Procedure: Ten percent (10%) of each progress invoice will be deducted. All retentions shall be aggregated and paid following a City Council approved notice of completion.

Section AA: Capital Improvement Projects - Escrow Agreement for Security Deposits in Lieu of Contract Retention
Purpose: To establish a procedure and internal control for the recording and processing of escrow agreements for security deposits in lieu of contract retention.

Policy: Pursuant to Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, the City is required to provide a procedure whereby a contractor can utilize an escrow agreement in lieu of security deposits deducted from progress payments and being retained by the City. The Finance Director or his/her designee shall have authorization to enter into an escrow agreement in lieu of security and to release funds from the escrow account; the City Clerk or his/her designee shall be responsible for receipts of the escrow agreement.

Procedure:

Progress Payments
Progress payments for construction contract services shall be made as approved by the appropriate Project Manager. Payments will be based on 90% of the completed work.

The City shall retain 10% of each progress billing as security for the fulfillment of the contract by the contractor.

Substitution of Securities
In accordance to Senate Bill 835, contractors can request the establishment of an escrow account equal to the contract retention at their own expense. The City shall make payment of funds, which otherwise would have been withheld from the progress billing, pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 4590. However, Section 4590 does not specify the mechanics of the escrow process.

On January 1, 1987, Senate Bill 2374 became effective, SB 2374 amended Section 4590 of the Government Code by making a standard escrow agreement statutory. The City Attorney approved and the City adopted the standard agreement.

According to Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California that implemented Senate Bill 2374, features the following securities:

The contractor shall establish an escrow account with a State or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent. Eligible securities include Section 16430, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or other security as mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the City.

Security placed in escrow shall be of equivalent value to the amounts of retention to be paid to the Contractor.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

The Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of the securities and will receive interest on securities held while the City has control over the disbursement of securities as retention through the escrow account.

Establishment of an Escrow Agreement
At the Contractor's request, the standard Escrow Agreement is forwarded to the Contractor. At the Contractor's expense, the escrow account shall be established with three (3) executed copies which are originally signed by the Contractor and escrow agent, then returned to the Director of Finance.

The Director of Finance or his/her designee shall approve all three copies on behalf of the City. The City Clerk or his/her designee shall witness them. One original shall be retained in the City Clerk's Office, one original shall be returned to the Contractor and the other original submitted to the Escrow Agent.

The Director of Finance or his/her designee shall authorize the release of funds from the escrow account to the Contractor. Copies of all documents related to the above subject shall be retained with the Director of Finance or his/her designee and be forwarded to the Project Manager or his/her designee in a timely manner to ensure control and compliance.

Partial Release of Funds
With the Project Manager's concurrence, the Contractor may request a withdrawal of part of the principal in the escrow account based on performance. The escrow principle shall exceed 10% of the total work completed. The Director of Finance or his/her designee shall authorize a written notice for partial release of funds to forward the escrow agent.

Termination of Escrow Agreement
Proceeding thirty-five (35) days after the contract is complete, the Contractor shall submit to the City a written notice to withdraw the entire principal in the escrow account. The Finance department shall verify with the Project Manager that the Contractor has complied with all requirements and procedures applicable to the contract and the Director of Finance or his/her designee shall approve the written notification to terminate the Escrow Agreement.

Procedure:

Projects Subject to Compliance Requirements

1. Projects budgeted with federal funding

2. Contractors or subcontractors who are or have been the subject of complaints of lab standards compliance
Compliance Testing Procedures
Certified Payroll Reports: Under the DBRA, covered contractors must maintain payroll and basic records for all laborers and mechanics during the course of the work and for a period of three years thereafter. Records to be maintained include:

1. Name, address, and Social Security number of each employee

2. Work Classifications for each employee

3. Hourly rates of pay, including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for fringe benefits or their cash equivalents

4. Daily and weekly hours

5. Deductions

6. Actual wages paid

7. If applicable, detailed information regarding various fringe benefit plans and programs, including records that show that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers and mechanics affected.

Reporting: Interviews are held at the job site weekly for most projects, and monthly for small projects, and monthly for projects with little or no turnover in contract employees.

At least one worker from each job class is interviewed by a project management staff for compliance with EEO apprenticeship and prevailing wage requirements.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

Apprenticeship Compliance: The contractor, subcontractor or the authorized officer who supervises the payment of wages must sign the weekly statement. Statements of Compliance are to be made on the form WH-347 "Payroll (For Contractors Optional Use)" or on any form with identical wording. This must be completed within seven days after the regular pay date for the pay period.

Prevailing Wage Compliance: Project management staff compares the rate indicated in the weekly reports, the daily inspection reports and the job-site interviews with the prevailing wage rates published by the California Director of Industrial Relations. The Project Manager responsible for the project maintains weekly logs of compliance testing.

Response to Noncompliance: Project management staff notifies contractors if an incidence of noncompliance is discovered. The contractor must submit a revised Certified Payroll Report for the period of noncompliance or evidence that a supplemental payment was made to the employees not in compliance. Until full compliance has been verified, a daily penalty per employee is assessed and withheld from payment to the contractor. The amount of the daily penalty is set by the California Department of Industrial Relations.

Penalties assessed and collected are remitted to the State of California.

Section AC: Procurement Standards for Federal Awards
Purpose: The objective is to establish guidelines that meet or exceed the procurement requirements for purchases of goods (apparatus, supplies, materials, and equipment), services, and construction and repair projects when federal funds are being used in whole or in part to pay for the cost of the contract.

Policy:

A. Application of Policy. This policy applies to contracts for construction or repair or for the procurement of goods or services that are funded in whole or in part by federal funds, direct or reimbursed, including contracts under grants and loans where the City is a sub- grantee or sub-recipient of federal funds (collectively, “Federal Contracts”), except to the extent the federal funding is not subject to the Uniform Guidance codified in 2 C.F. R. Part 200.

All Federal Contracts are subject to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for federal awards (Uniform Guidance) codified at 2 C.F.R. Part 200 unless otherwise directed in writing by the federal agency or state pass- through agency that awarded the funds. The requirements of this Policy also apply to any subrecipient of federal funds. City departments may adopt additional policies to the extent required by a particular federal agency or federal grant, and in the event of a conflict the departmental policies shall take precedence over this Policy. The City department that received the federal funding for the Federal Contract is responsible for ensuring compliance with this Policy and all other grant requirements.

B. Compliance with Federal Law. All procurement activities involving the expenditure of federal funds must be conducted in compliance with the Procurement Standards codified in 2 C.F.R. § 200.317 through § 200-327 unless otherwise directed in writing by the federal agency or state pass-through agency that awarded the funds. The City will follow all applicable local, state, and federal procurement requirements when expending federal funds. Should the City have more stringent requirements, the most restrictive requirement shall apply so long as it is consistent with state and federal law.

C. Approval and Modification. The procedures and requirements contained in this Policy are administrative and may be changed by the City’s staff as necessary to comply with state and federal law.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

Procedure:

The following standards and procedures apply to all Federal Contract solicitations:

A. Necessity. Purchases must be necessary to perform the scope of work and must avoid the acquisition of unnecessary or duplicative items. City departments should check with the federal surplus property agency prior to buying new items when feasible and less expensive. Strategic sourcing should be considered with other City departments and/or agencies that have similar needs to consolidate procurements and services to obtain better pricing.

B. Cost Reduction. City departments are encouraged to use federal excess and surplus property in lieu of purchasing new equipment and property whenever such use is feasible and reduces project costs. City departments are further encouraged to use value engineering clauses in Federal Contracts for construction or repair that are of sufficient size to offer reasonable opportunities for cost reductions.

C. Clear Specifications. All solicitations must incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the materials, products, or services to be procured, and shall include all other requirements which bidders or proposers must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids or proposals. Technical requirements must not contain features that unduly restrict competition.

D. Notice of Federal Funding. All bid solicitations for Federal Contracts must acknowledge the use of federal funding. In addition, all prospective bidders or proposers must acknowledge that funding is contingent upon compliance with all terms and conditions of the funding award.

E. Compliance by Contractors. All Federal Contract solicitations shall inform prospective contractors that they must comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, executive orders, and terms and conditions of the funding award.

F. Use of Brand Names. When possible, performance or functional specifications are preferred to allow for more competition, leaving the determination of how they reach the required result to the Federal Contractor. Brand names may be used only when it is impractical or uneconomical to write a clear and accurate description of the requirement(s). When a brand name is listed, it is used as reference only and “or equal” must be included in the description.

G. Lease versus Purchase. Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to perform an analysis of lease versus purchase alternatives to determine the most economic approach.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

H. MWSBE Participation. For all Federal Contract procurements that equal or exceed the Micro-Purchase Threshold (currently $10,000), the City department responsible for the solicitation must take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. Affirmative steps must include:

1. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises on solicitation lists.

2. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources.

3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises.

4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises.

5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; and

6. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the affirmative steps listed in paragraphs (1) through (5) of this Section.

I. Documentation. City departments must maintain records detailing the history of all Federal Contract procurements. The documentation should include the procurement method used, contract type, basis for contractor selection, price, sources solicited, public notices, cost analysis, bid documents, addenda, amendments, Federal Contractor’s responsiveness, notice of award, copies of notices to unsuccessful bidders or offerors, record of protests or disputes, bond documents, notice to proceed, purchase orders, and the Federal Contract. All documentation relating to the award of any Federal Contract must be made available to the granting agency upon request.

J. Cost Estimate. For all Federal Contract procurements that are expected to equal or exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000), the City department responsible for the procurement shall develop an estimate of the cost of the procurement prior to soliciting bids. Cost estimates may be developed by reviewing prior contract costs, online review of similar products or services, or other means by which a good faith cost estimate may be obtained. Cost estimates for construction or repair contracts may be developed by the project designer.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

K. Open Competition. Solicitations shall be prepared and conducted in a way to be fair and provide open competition. The procurement process shall not restrict competition by imposing unreasonable requirements on bidders, including but not limited to unnecessary supplier experience, excessive or unnecessary bonding, specifying a brand name without allowing for “or equal” products, or other unnecessary requirements that have the effect of restricting competition.

L. Geographic Preference. No geographic preferences may be imposed in awarding Federal Contracts except to the extent permitted by federal law.

M. Contractors’ Conflict of Interest. Designers, suppliers, and contractors that assist in the development or drafting of specifications, requirements, statements of work, invitation for bids or requests for proposals shall be excluded from competing for such procurements.

N. Employees’ Conflict of Interest. No employee, officer, or agent of the City may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a Federal Award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict of interest arises when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for a contract.

The officers, employees, and agents of the City may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts.

1. Employees who fail to comply with this policy may be subject to disciplinary action and criminal prosecution.

O. Prequalification. All lists of prequalified bidders must be kept current and must include enough qualified sources to ensure maximum open and free competition.

Potential bidders shall not be precluded from qualifying during the solicitation period.

P. City Council Approval. Unless otherwise Council approval for a Federal Contract is required by this Policy, or by federal or state law, the thresholds established by City Council from time to time will determine when City Council approval for a Federal Contract is required.

Q. Procurement of Recovered Materials. The City and its contractors must comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only items designated in guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part 247 that contain the highest percentage of Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired during the preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximizes energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines.

Requirements Applicable to All Federal Contracts
All Federal Contracts will comply with the following requirements:

A. Contract Award. Federal Contracts shall be awarded only to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources. Purchase Contracts and Construction Contracts that exceed the Micro-Purchase Threshold will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

B. Fixed Price. Federal Contract solicitations must state that bidders and proposers shall submit bids and proposals on a fixed price basis and that the Federal Contract shall be awarded on this basis unless otherwise provided for in this Policy. Cost plus percentage of cost Federal Contracts are prohibited. Time and materials Federal Contracts will not be used unless no other form of contract is suitable and the Federal Contract includes a “not to exceed” amount. A time and materials Federal Contract shall not be awarded without express written permission of the federal agency or state pass-through agency that awarded the funds. Additionally, if a time and materials Federal Contract is awarded the City department administering the contract must assert a high degree of oversight to obtain reasonable assurance that the contractor is using efficient methods and effective cost controls.

C. No Evasion. No Federal Contract may be divided to bring the cost under bid thresholds or to evade any requirements under this Policy or state and federal law.

D. Contract Requirements. All Federal Contracts shall be in writing and shall include or incorporate by reference the provisions required under 2 C.F.R § 200.326 and as provided for under 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II. Federal Contracts shall further include provisions to comply with 2 C.F.R 200.315 regarding intangible property and the federal government’s right to data produced under a Federal Contract.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

E. Debarment. No Federal Contract shall be awarded to a contractor included on the federally debarred bidder’s list. Department staff will double-check Sam.Gov to make sure the contractor is registered on the site and in good standing before awarding the contract. If the intended contractor is not registered or is registered but not in good standing the Department staff will not be able to award the contract.

F. Contractor Oversight. The City department administering the Federal Contract must maintain oversight of the Federal Contract to ensure that the contractor is performing in accordance with the Federal Contract terms, conditions, and specifications.

Specific Procurement Procedures
City departments shall comply with this Section in soliciting bids and proposals for Federal Contracts. Solicitation requirements depend on the type of Federal Contract, which types include:
• Contracts for construction or repair work (“Construction Contracts”). • Contracts for the procurement of apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment (“Purchase Contracts”).
• Contracts for the procurement of architectural, engineering or surveying services (“A/E Contracts”).
• Contracts for the procurement of services other than A&E Contracts (“Service Contracts”).

Solicitation requirements also depend on the amount of the Federal Contract, determined by the following thresholds which are set and adjusted from time to time by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1:
• Micro-Purchase Threshold (currently $10,000)
• Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) A. Micro-Purchase Procedure. Service Contracts, Purchase Contracts, and Construction Contracts that do not exceed the Micro-Purchase Threshold (currently $10,000) shall be procured using the Uniform Guidance “micropurchase” procedure (2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(1)) as follows:

1. The Federal Contract may be awarded without soliciting pricing or bids if the price of the goods or services is reasonable based on research, experience, purchase history, or other information, and documents it files accordingly.

2. To the extent practicable, purchases must be distributed among qualified suppliers.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

B. Small Purchase Procedure. Service Contracts, Purchase Contracts and Construction Contracts that exceed the Micro Purchase Threshold (currently $10,000) but are less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) shall be procured using the Uniform Guidance “small purchase” procedure (2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(2)) as follows:

1. Obtain price or rate quotes from at least three (3) qualified sources.

2. Take affirmative steps to solicit price quotes from M/WBE vendors and suppliers as required under 2 C.F.R. § 200.321.

3. Cost or price analysis is not required prior to soliciting bids.

C. Sealed Bid Procedure. Purchase Contracts and Construction Contracts that equal or exceed the lower of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) shall be procured using a combination of the most restrictive requirements of the Uniform Guidance Sealed Bid Procedure (2 C.F.R. § 200.320(b)(1)). The Sealed Bid Procedure must also be used for Service Contracts over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) when complete specifications are possible, a fixed price contract is feasible, and selection can be made principally on price.

1. Bids must be solicited from at least three (3) qualified sources, providing them with sufficient response time prior to the date set for opening the bids and the invitation for bids must be publicly advertised.

2. Cost or price analysis is required prior to soliciting bids. (This cost estimate may be provided by the project designer.)

3. Complete specifications or purchase description must be made available to all bidders.

4. The Contract must be fixed price (lump sum or unit price).

5. The solicitation must be formally advertised in a newspaper of general circulation for at least seven full days between the date of the advertisement and the date of the public bid opening, except to the extent electronic advertising has been authorized by City Council. The advertisement must state the date, time, and location of the public bid opening, indicate where specifications may be obtained, and reserve to City Council the right to reject any or all bids only for sound documented reasons.

6. Take affirmative steps to solicit price quotes from M/WBE vendors and suppliers as required under 2 C.F.R. § 200.321.

7. Open bids at the public bid or proposal opening on the date, time, and at the location noticed in the public advertisement. All bids must be submitted sealed, and a minimum of 2 bids must be received in order to open any bids.

8. Award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Bids may be rejected only for sound documented reasons. Where specified in bidding Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost, and life cycle costs must be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of.

9. For Construction Contracts, a 5% bid bond is required of all bidders.

Additionally for Construction Contracts, performance and payment bonds of 100% of the Federal Contract price is required of the winning bidder.

D. Competitive Proposal Procedure. Service Contracts that equal or exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) may be procured using the Uniform Guidance Competitive Proposal Procedure (2 C.F.R. § 200.320(d)) when complete specifications are not possible, a fixed price contract is not feasible, or it is not in the best interest of the federally funded program to make the selection principally on price. The Competitive Proposal Procedure is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids.

1. The Request for Proposals (RFP) must be publicized. Formal advertising in a newspaper is not required so long as the method of advertising will solicit proposals from at least three (3) qualified firms.

2. Take affirmative steps to solicit price quotes from M/WBE vendors and suppliers as provided under 2 C.F.R. § 200.321.

3. Identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance in the RFP.

4. Consider all responses to the publicized RFP to the maximum extent practical.

5. Must perform a cost or price analysis in connection with every proposal in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) including contract modifications. The method and degree of analysis is dependent on the facts surrounding the particular proposal situation, but as a starting point, must make independent estimates before receiving bids or proposals., when applicable.

6. Must have a written method for conducting technical evaluations of proposals.

7. Award to the responsible proposer whose proposal is most advantageous to the program with price and other factors considered.

R. A/E Contracts shall be procured using the Uniform Guidance “proposals” procedure (2 C.F.R. § 200.320(b)(2)) as follows:

1. Publicly advertise a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit qualifications from at least three (3) qualified firms (formal advertisement in a newspaper is not required). Price (other than unit cost) shall not be solicited in the RFQ.

2. Take affirmative steps to solicit price quotes from M/WBE vendors and suppliers as provided under 2 C.F.R. § 200.321.

3. Identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance in the RFQ.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

4. Must have a written method for conducting technical evaluations of proposals and selecting the best qualified firm.

5. Consider all responses to the publicized RFQ to the maximum extent practical.

6. Must perform a cost or price analysis in connection with every RFQ in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) including contract modifications. The method and degree of analysis is dependent on the facts surrounding the particular RFQ situation, but as a starting point, must make independent estimates before receiving bids or proposals, when applicable.

7. Evaluate the qualifications of respondents to rank respondents and select the most qualified firm. Preference may be given to in-state (but not local) firms provided that granting the preference leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms to compete for the Federal Contract given the nature and size of the project.

8. Price cannot be a factor in the initial selection of the most qualified firm.

9. Once the most qualified firm is selected, negotiate fair and reasonable compensation. If negotiations are not successfully completed, repeat negotiations with the second-best qualified firm.

10.Award the Federal Contract to the best qualified firm with whom fair and reasonable compensation has been successfully negotiated.

Exceptions
Noncompetitive procurements are allowed only under the following conditions and with the written approval of the federal agency or state pass-through agency that awarded the federal funds:
a. Sole Source: when the item is available from only one source. The City department responsible for the solicitation shall document the justification for and lack of available competition for the item. A sole source Federal Contract must be approved by City Council.
b. Public Exigency: when there is an imminent or actual threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and the need for the item will not permit the delay resulting from competitive bidding.
c. Inadequate Competition: when competition is determined to be inadequate after attempts to solicit bids from at least three (3) sources. d. Federal Contract: when the purchase is made from a Federal Contract available on the U.S. General Services Administration schedules of Federal Contracts.

Finance Department
Purchasing Manual
Updated 2025

e. Awarding Agency Approval: with the express written authorization of the federal agency or state pass-through agency that awarded the federal funds so long as awarding the Federal Contract without competition is consistent with state law.

Purpose: To establish a policy with procedures under which departments will control the use of City issued credit cards. The procedures are intended to accomplish the following:

1. To ensure that the procurement with City credit cards is accomplished in accordance with the policy and procedures established by the Finance Department

2. To ensure appropriate internal controls are established within each department, procuring credit cards so that they are used only for authorized purposes.

Policy: The City issues credit cards to designated department heads for the efficiency of facilitating certain expenses. However, the credit card is not intended to substitute the purchasing policy through purchase orders in the normal course of daily operations. The credit card holder will be responsible for ensuring that all purchases are aligned with City’s policies and that appropriate budgets are in place on all purchases, making transfers to cover expenses, if necessary.

Authorization
Department heads who wish to have credit card privileges must receive approval from the City Manager and the Director of Finance. Authorized users shall acknowledge the credit card policy and then complete an application with Finance.

Use of Credit Card
The credit card must be used for official City business only. Usage of the City’s credit card is allowed at the discretion of the City Manager and the Director of Finance.

When using the credit card, the user should ensure that the purchases are within the budget limits to the City’s procurement policies.

The credit card shall not be used for any personal purchases of any kind. Use of the credit card for personal purchases or expenses with the intension of reimbursement to the City is prohibited. Any employee who uses a City credit card for personal use shall be responsible for reimbursing the City for all costs associated with the purchase and may have their card immediately revoked.

Cardholders are responsible for the security of their credit card and all precautions shall be taken to maintain the card’s confidentiality. In the event of lost or stolen cards, the cardholder must notify the credit card company and the Director of Finance immediately.

Any rewards or privilege points that are accumulated through the City’s credit card are the sole ownership of the City and redemption will be used for city-wide purchases, as approved by City Manager.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Public Works Department
City Council Agenda Report

April 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:

AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH BOWMAN
CONSULTING GROUP LTD. FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES RELATED

TO THE BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTRE PROJECT
IT IS RECCOMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Approve an agreement with Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. for a not-to-exceed $39,250.00 to provide project management services for the initial planning and procurement phase of the City’s Broadband Infrastructure Project funded through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Federal Funding Account (FFA); and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any related documents.

BACKGROUND
In 2021, the State of California established the Federal Funding Account (FFA) under the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) to address the digital divide in unserved and underserved communities. The FFA was created using federal funding allocated through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and is administered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The primary goal of the FFA is to expand access to affordable, high-speed broadband to Californians who have historically lacked reliable internet connectivity.

The City of Huntington Park submitted a grant application for FFA funding in late 2023.

On November 7, 2024, the CPUC approved the City’s application and awarded $25,358,952 to construct middle- and last-mile broadband infrastructure throughout Huntington Park. This award represents a transformative investment in the City’s digital

infrastructure and positions Huntington Park as a leader among cities advancing equitable access to high-speed internet.

CURRENT STATUS AND NEED
While the CPUC award represents a major milestone for the City, it is important to acknowledge that a formal feasibility study was not completed prior to the application submission, nor was there a direct agreement with the engineering team (Wideband Group) that supported the grant documentation. As a result, the City now needs to validate the underlying technical and financial assumptions used in the application to ensure successful implementation within the awarded budget.

To move forward responsibly, the City will initiate a feasibility study as an essential step in the project’s implementation. This study will assess what can realistically be built with available funding, evaluate cost projections and deployment methods, and define a refined, achievable project scope. It will also inform the development of procurement documents and ensure alignment with CPUC funding conditions and compliance requirements.

Concurrently, concerns raised by the City’s in-house engineering team about the feasibility of the original scope reinforce the importance of this analysis. By grounding the next phase in data and technical review, the City can proceed with confidence and accountability.

Following internal discussions with the Public Works Department and the City’s engineering consultant, staff determined that a Design-Build (DB) approach is the most efficient and practical delivery method. This model will be shaped by the outcomes of the feasibility study and is especially well-suited to meet the CPUC’s aggressive timeline and performance benchmarks.

The DB approach streamlines project delivery by consolidating design and construction under one contract, eliminating the need for multiple RFPs and shortening the overall schedule. This integrated method will reduce delays associated with design review and permitting, helping the City stay on track and begin construction in a timely manner.

PROPOSED ACTION – AGREEMENT WITH BOWMAN CONSULTING
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. will support the City only in the initial stages of the Broadband Infrastructure Project. Their scope of work includes:
• Assisting with the development of a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to solicit qualified Design-Build (DB) entities for the project.
• Preparing the full SOQ package in alignment with CPUC grant requirements and infrastructure goals.

AUTHORIZTION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP LTD. FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES RELATED TO THE

BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTRE PROJECT
April 7, 2025

• Arranging and facilitating pre-proposal meetings with prospective DB teams. • Coordinating and collecting review comments from the City’s selection panel. • Assisting with the final evaluation and selection of the most qualified DB team.

Bowman will also coordinate with any additional engineering consultants, manage the early-stage schedule and deliverables, and ensure alignment with CPUC reporting requirements. Their familiarity with municipal infrastructure planning and their active contract with the City make them well-positioned to guide this foundational phase.

It is important to note that Bowman’s involvement is limited to this early-stage project management and procurement support. Once the Design-Build team is selected, future phases of the project—including final design, construction, and activation—will be carried out by the awarded DB team.

NEXT STEPS IN PROJECT DELIVERY
Following execution of the Bowman agreement, the City will proceed with the following steps:
• Feasibility Study coordination.
• Finalize and issue the SOQ to solicit DB proposals.
• Select a qualified DB team through a transparent evaluation process. • Begin design and construction phases under a unified delivery contract. • Coordinate community engagement and outreach through separate efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The contract with Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. for a not-to-exceed $39,250.00 will be funded through the CPUC FFA award. The costs associated with the agreement are considered eligible reimbursable expenses under the terms of the CPUC grant. No additional appropriation is requested at this time.

CONCLUSION
The CPUC broadband grant represents a rare opportunity to close the digital divide and provide equitable internet access to all Huntington Park residents. By leveraging Bowman’s project management expertise in the early stages and adopting a design-build delivery model, the City will be well-positioned to meet funding deadlines, reduce implementation risks, and deliver a high-quality broadband network efficiently.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Communications Division RESOLUTION T-17855
Broadband Regional Initiatives Branch November 7, 2024

R E S O L U T I O N
RESOLUTION T-17855: Approves three applications for grants for up to $96,459,407 from the Last Mile Federal Funding Account in Los Angeles County, providing service to 5,303 unserved locations.

I. SUMMARY
This Resolution recommends approval of three Last Mile Federal Funding Account grants in the amount of up to $96,459,407.

This Resolution is part of the eighth package of Resolutions approving grants to Federal Funding Account applicants for broadband infrastructure projects serving unserved areas in California. Subsequent Resolutions will be presented for Commission vote as Communications Division Staff completes its analyses of applications.

The three projects in this Resolution propose to make investments bringing the social, economic, civic, and public safety benefits of high-speed broadband to more than 5,303 unserved locations and an estimated unserved population of 142,417 in Los Angeles County. An estimated total population of 2,345,230 people will benefit from these investments as households and businesses that already have service in these communities will benefit from greater customer choice in the broadband market. The last mile connections funded by these grants build upon the state-owned open-access Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative.

Staff recommends grant awards to three entities (listed in the order in which they appear in this Resolution): Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw, LLC (Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw), Gateway Cities Council of Governments, and the City of Huntington Park.

Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw is a joint business venture of Plenary Americas (a Limited Liability Corporation) and Destination Crenshaw (a communitybased non-profit). The Gateway Cities Council of Governments is a Joint Powers Authority formed by incorporated cities in Los Angeles County, Los Angeles County, Resolution T-17855 DRAFT November 07, 2024
CD/CJ2
2 and the Port of Long Beach. The City of Huntington Park is an incorporated city located in Los Angeles County.

Staff recommends the following three grant applications for Commission approval as shown in Table 1 below. Maps and summaries associated with each project are in the appendices.

II. BACKGROUND
California’s multi-year broadband investment package established the last mile Federal Funding Account as part of the Budget Act of 2021 and Senate Bill 1561 and invested $2 billion in the program over multiple years. The Federal Funding Account funds the construction of last mile broadband infrastructure projects in unserved areas of California. The Federal Funding Account encourages the deployment of broadband throughout the State to enable the public to access internet-based safety applications, telehealth services, emergency services, and to allow first responders to communicate with each other and collaborate during emergencies.

3 On April 21, 2022, the Commission issued Decision (D.) 22-04-055, Decision Adopting Federal Funding Account Rules. The rules and guidelines adopted in that decision included, among other items, the following: rules about projects to benefit Environmental and Social Justice Communities, affordable offers, five and ten-year price commitments, low-cost plans, project eligibility, application requirements, application objections, implementation of Public Utilities Code section 281(n) allocating funding between “rural counties” and “urban counties,” a process to reimburse grantees, a ministerial review process whereby Communications Division Staff may approve certain projects, and minimum performance standards for grantees.

The Federal Funding Account D. 22-04-055 includes requirements and preference for a number of affordability requirements including:
• Participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program or access to a “broadbased affordability program.” Given that the Affordable Connectivity Program has lapsed grantees must participate in a successor program when identified by the Commission.
• A five-year price commitment, and preference for a ten-year commitment. • Preference for a low-cost plan that is $40/month or less and provides speeds of at least 50 Megabits per second (Mbps) down and 20 Mbps up. • Preference for participation in the California and/or federal Lifeline programs (which may include bundled voice and broadband offerings).

Applications that committed to provide voice service and participate in LifeLine, consistent with the requirement to serve customers in the project area at prices not exceeding those in the application for five years after project completion, must provide voice service and participate in LifeLine for five years after project completion. In providing grant funding to projects the Commission is validating the need for and the state’s investment in the provision of communications service, including voice and programs supporting affordability like LifeLine, for the life of the infrastructure.

The Federal Funding Account Decision and Appendix specify additional consideration for disadvantaged communities or Environmental and Social Justice communities.2 The Commission made available on the Federal Funding Account Public Map,3the 2 The Commission Environmental and Social Justice Action plan includes definitions and data indicators for disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities including Disadvantaged Communities defined by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) and low-income households defined as household incomes below 80 percent of the area median income.

4 Applicant Tool,4 and data downloads locations and census blocks meeting these definitions.5 A grant application window was opened on June 30, 2023, and closed at 4 p.m. on September 29, 2023; 484 applications were submitted. Application summaries were posted on October 23, 2023, and a 28-day objection period closed on November 20, 2023. Responses to objections were received until December 20, 2023.

Applications were holistically evaluated: required and supporting documentation and the merits of the applications were compared and assessed on a county basis. Following an initial analysis, Staff sent a data request to applicants and requested additional information. Staff’s holistic evaluation included project engineering, technical feasibility and design, financial viability, cost, applicant capacity, and community need, among other factors. Staff assessed how to manage overlapping applications and applications planning to include some already-served areas in their project area.6 Staff also evaluated how applications and groups of applications compared to competing applications in the same county.

The specific locations to be provided service for a given project will be updated and reconciled with the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric after detailed engineering and project design, and the grant amount may be reduced consistent with a reduction in the number of locations. The Federal Funding Account award will not fund locations supported by a federal broadband program with Capital Project Fund monies.7 III. APPLICATION SUMMARIES, DISCUSSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4 Registration for the Federal Funding Account Applicant Tool is available at: FFA Applicant Tool Registration
5 Disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities and individual locations, for purposes of the Federal Funding Account, include those in Disadvantaged Communities census tracts as defined by CalEPA and low-income areas in which the census block group median household income is less than or equal to 80 percent of the higher of the county or state average. This data is available for download on the Federal Funding Account Public Map page (visited June 13, 2024), https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/internet-and-phone/broadband-implementation-forcalifornia/last-mile-federal-funding-account/ffa-public-map and the Federal Funding Account Application Resources Page (visited June 13, 2024), https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-andtopics/internet-and-phone/broadband-implementation-for-california/last-mile-federal-fundingaccount/ffa-application-resources-page . 6 D.22-04-055 states that “households and businesses with an identified need for additional broadband infrastructure do not have to be the only ones in the service area served by an eligible broadband infrastructure project. Indeed, serving these households and businesses may require a holistic approach that provides service to a wider area, for example, in order to make ongoing service of certain households or businesses within the service area economical.”

Los Angeles County Awards

1. Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw, Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone
Staff recommends the Commission approve Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw’s application for a grant of up to $25,000,000 for the Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project.

The Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project proposes to serve an estimated 366 unserved locations based on a March 2024 supplemental application filing. There are approximately 845 unserved units in the project area. An estimated unserved population of 5,523 would be offered service. An estimated total population of 79,925 will benefit from these investments in the Crenshaw District of Los Angeles. The lastmile fiber project will provide up to 10,000 Mbps / 10,000 Mbps service to consumers.

Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw is a joint business venture of Plenary Americas and Destination Crenshaw. Destination Crenshaw would own the infrastructure and will enter into an agreement with Plenary Americas, who would design, build, maintain, and operate the infrastructure for 30 years.

Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw will deploy approximately 143 miles of last-mile fiber. The network will be 100 percent underground. The project comes out of work by Destination Crenshaw to establish a Digital Equity Zone to identify and serve areas in the Crenshaw community lacking sufficient access to reliable, affordable internet. In partnership with City of Los Angeles and the Bureau of Street Lighting, Destination Crenshaw has developed a plan to establish a Digital Equity Zone that will provide high-speed broadband connections to the Crenshaw District’s visitors, businesses, and residents. The plan aims to connect all unserved locations and the Greater Crenshaw neighborhood to a Fiber-to-the Premise network, leveraging existing infrastructure and deploying new assets where needed.

Resolution T-17855 DRAFT November 07, 2024
CD/CJ2
6 The Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting is also currently building and planning for future building of conduit infrastructure throughout the project area, which Plenary and Destination Crenshaw will leverage for a more efficient deployment. The City of Los Angeles will connect the project to the Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative with separate funding.

The Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project will benefit disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities; 99.5 percent of the unserved locations are located in disadvantaged communities. The applicant will provide a low-cost plan that meets the requirements of D. 22-04-055, Section 3.

The proposed project will cost an estimated $70,542,546, of which the Federal Funding Account will fund approximately 35 percent of costs. Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw proposes to use other grants and private investment to fund the remaining 65 percent of costs; the Federal Funding Account grant award will serve as evidence of the project’s viability to other funders. The Federal Funding Account grant is conditional upon Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw securing the remaining $47.5 million necessary to complete the project and submit to the Commission documents confirming funding agreements within 90 days of the approval of the resolution.

Staff determined that the applicant and the project are financially viable (once the remaining 65 percent of funding is obtained), and the applicant’s engineering meets the program standards. The applicant demonstrated the administrative, technical, and operational capacity to provide broadband service at the scale of this project.

This application received five objections and Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw responded to the objections. Staff determined that the project will serve unserved locations and that the served locations in the project area will enhance the project’s viability. Staff also determined that the project will provide affordable, competitive, open access fiber service to a low-income and disadvantaged area. The Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project area was not modified in response to objections; the Federal Final Rule8 and D.22-04-0559 allow projects serving unserved locations to include served locations.

7 Eight Federal Funding Account Public Map comments were submitted in Los Angeles County; no comments were related to the project area.10 Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project area’s unserved locations were evaluated in light of the updated Federal Communications Commission and Federal Funding Account unserved data (as of June 30, 2023). In response to objections, the comments, and this data, the number of unserved locations is unchanged at 366, the project area is unchanged, and the total grant amount is unchanged. The specific locations to be provided service will be updated and reconciled with the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric after detailed engineering and project design, and the grant amount may be reduced consistent with a reduction in the number of locations.

The following submitted letters of support for this application: Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles, Marquece Harris -Dawson, Los Angeles City Council Member, the Los Angeles Metro, the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting, and the California Community Foundation.

The proposed project provides the public safety benefits of reliable broadband infrastructure. This project is not located in a High Fire Threat District. This project will connect to the open-access Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative.

Based on the information received, the Commission’s Energy Division has determined that this project has not met the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorial exemption at this time. Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw must comply with the CEQA requirements discussed in the appendices. If Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw provides additional documentation sufficient to justify a staff determination of CEQA exemption, then the project can be exempted by letter from the Communications Division Director or the director’s delegate or designee.

Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw and the Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project comply with all requirements for approval in D. 22-04-055. The Communications Division recommends that the Commission approve Plenary Broadband Infrastructure Crenshaw’s application for a grant of up to $25,000,000 for the Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone project.

8 Staff recommends the Commission approve Gateway Cities Council of Governments application for a grant of up to $46,100,455 for the Gateway Cities Council of Governments Last Mile Broadband Project.

The Gateway Cities Council of Governments Last Mile Broadband Project proposes to serve an estimated 4,254 unserved locations based on a March 2024 supplemental application filing. There are approximately 43,374 unserved units in the project area. An estimated unserved population of 131,640 would be offered service. An estimated total population of 2,204,326 will benefit from these investments in Southeast Los Angeles County. The last-mile fiber project will provide up to 1,000 Mbps/1,000 Mbps service to consumers. Providers on the network will offer service to served locations and providers will fund those service connections.

Gateway Cities Council of Governments will deploy approximately 139 miles of lastmile fiber. The network will be 40 percent underground.

The Gateway Cities Council of Governments Last Mile Broadband Project will benefit disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities; 83 percent of the unserved locations are located in disadvantaged communities. Gateway Cities Council of Governments has committed itself and its Internet Service Provider partners to provide a low-cost plan that meets the requirements in D. 22-04-055, Section 3, and has committed itself and its Internet Service Provider partners to maintaining their prices for at least ten years.

The proposed project will cost an estimated $104,460,531, of which the Federal Funding Account will fund approximately 44 percent of costs.

Staff determined that the applicant and the project are financially viable, and the applicant’s engineering meets the program standards. The applicant demonstrated the administrative, technical, and operational capacity to provide broadband service at the scale of this project.

This application received seven objections and Gateway Cities Council of Governments responded to the objections. Staff determined that the project will serve unserved locations and that the served locations in the project area will enhance the project’s viability. Staff also determined that the project will provide affordable fiber service to low-income and disadvantaged areas.

Eight Federal Funding Account Public Map comments were submitted in Los Angeles County; no comments were related to the project area.13 The Gateway Cities Council of Governments Last Mile Broadband Project area’s unserved locations were evaluated in light of the updated Federal Communications Commission and Federal Funding Account unserved data (as of June 30, 2023). In response to objections, comments, and this data, the number of unserved locations is unchanged at 4,254, the project area is unchanged, and the total grant amount is unchanged. The specific locations to be provided service will be updated and reconciled with the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric after detailed engineering and project design, and the grant amount may be reduced consistent with a reduction in the number of locations.

The following submitted letters of support for this application: the City of Compton, the City of Signal Hill, and the California Community Foundation.

The proposed project provides the public safety benefits of reliable broadband infrastructure. This project is not located in a High Fire Threat District. This project contains a substantial middle-mile component that is being assessed by staff and will be detailed prior to final award. All middle-mile infrastructure in the project will be openaccess. This project will connect to the open-access Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative.

Based on the information received, the Commission’s Energy Division has determined that this project has not met the requirements of CEQA categorial exemption at this time. Gateway Cities Council of Governments must comply with the CEQA requirements discussed in the appendices. If Gateway Cities Council of Governments provides additional documentation sufficient to justify a staff determination of CEQA exemption, then the project can be exempted by letter from the Communications Division Director or the director’s delegate or designee.

3. The City of Huntington Park, Huntington Park
Staff recommends the Commission approve The City of Huntington Park’s application for a grant of up to $25,358,952 for the Huntington Park project.

The Huntington Park project proposes to serve an estimated 683 unserved locations based on a March 2024 supplemental application filing. There are approximately 1,711 unserved units in the project area. An estimated unserved population of 5,254 would be offered service. An estimated total population of 60,979 will benefit from these investments in the community of Huntington Park. The last-mile fiber project will provide up to 5,000 Mbps/5,000 Mbps service to consumers.

The City of Huntington Park will deploy approximately 42 miles of last-mile fiber and 11 miles of middle mile fiber. The network will be 25 percent underground.

The Huntington Park project will benefit disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities; 100 percent of the unserved locations are located in disadvantaged communities. The City of Huntington Park will provide a low-cost plan that meets the requirements in D. 22-04-055, Section 3, and has committed to maintaining the price of that plan for at least ten years.

The proposed project will cost an estimated $25,358,952 of which the Federal Funding Account will fund approximately 100 percent of costs.

Staff determined that the applicant and the project are financially viable, and the applicant’s engineering meets the program standards. The applicant demonstrated the administrative, technical, and operational capacity to provide broadband service at the scale of this project.

This application received three objections and The City of Huntington Park responded to the objections. Staff determined that the unserved locations in the project area are dispersed geographically, and that funding for fixed infrastructure through served areas is necessary to reach the unserved locations. Providing affordable and competitive service to the locations that the infrastructure passes is also necessary for the financial viability of the project. The project area of the Huntington Park project was not Resolution T-17855 DRAFT November 07, 2024

City Council Agenda Report

April 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR INTERIM COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SERVICES WITH LOUIS MORALES
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Louis Morales for Interim Community Development Director services in an amount not to exceed $100,000; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to take all necessary actions to effectuate the terms of the agreement.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
On March 19, 2025, the Community Development Director position became vacant. In the interim, Sergio Infanzon, Director of Communications and Community Relations, has assumed the responsibilities of Acting Community Development Director. However, with limited staffing and a growing portfolio of critical initiatives, it is essential to provide dedicated, full-time leadership within the Community Development Department.

In addition to overseeing core planning, zoning, and housing responsibilities, the department is currently charged with the roll-out of the City’s Rent Stabilization Program, a significant new initiative to promote housing stability. Later this year, the department will also be responsible for the planning and implementing of a city-wide parking program, a complex and high-impact initiative requiring significant coordination and policy development.

To ensure continuity of service, avoid operational delays, and maintain program momentum, staff recommends entering into a professional services agreement with Louis Morales to serve as Interim Community Development Director. Mr. Morales brings over 30 years of municipal experience, including prior service in the City’s Planning Division in
