Public Works Department
City Council Agenda Report

March 24, 2026
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:

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE MAYOR’S CITYWIDE

BEAUTIFICATION INITIATIVE AND APPROPRIATION OF MEASURE R AND

MEASURE M FUNDS FOR PHASE I CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt a Resolution in support of the Mayor’s Citywide Beautification Initiative; and

2. Appropriate $1,500,000 from available Measure R Fund 222 and Measure M Fund 210 balances for Phase I of the Mayor’s Citywide Beautification Initiative; and

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City of Huntington Park continues to identify opportunities to improve public infrastructure, enhance pedestrian and transit accessibility, and invest in highly visible corridor improvements that strengthen public spaces and support economic activity.

Pacific Boulevard remains the City’s principal commercial corridor and one of its most important public-facing streets. Florence Avenue also serves as a major arterial corridor with substantial vehicular, pedestrian, and transit activity.

The City has identified approximately $1,500,000 in available transportation funds from Measure R Fund 222 and Measure M Fund 210 that may be used for eligible transportation-related improvements. These funding sources may be used for activities including roadway repair and rehabilitation, pedestrian and ADA improvements, traffic safety enhancements, transit accessibility improvements such as bus shelters, and ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE MAYOR’S CITYWIDE

BEAUTIFICATION INITIATIVE AND APPROPRIATION OF MEASURE R AND

MEASURE M FUNDS FOR PHASE I CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS
March 24, 2026

related improvements that improve mobility and accessibility for residents of all ages and abilities.

The proposed Mayor’s Citywide Beautification Initiative is intended to establish a broader citywide framework for visible public improvements, with an initial Phase I focus on Pacific Boulevard and Florence Avenue. This first phase is designed to prioritize visible improvements that can be advanced efficiently while remaining consistent with the allowable uses of Measure R and Measure M funds.

DISCUSSION
Phase I of the Mayor’s Citywide Beautification Initiative is focused on corridor improvements that enhance mobility, safety, accessibility, transit use, and corridor appearance in one of the City’s most prominent commercial and community-serving areas.

The proposed project includes micro-surfacing treatment of Pacific Boulevard from Slauson Avenue to Florence Avenue, along with restriping of the improved corridor. In addition, staff proposes replacement of damaged sidewalks, curb and gutter, and curb ramps where necessary; targeted street lighting improvements; and the installation of new or upgraded bus shelters along Pacific Boulevard. Staff also proposes additional bus shelter improvements along Florence Avenue to fill existing gaps and provide greater consistency with improvements being implemented through the Metro Bus Enhancement Project.

These improvements are consistent with the eligible uses of Measure R and Measure M funds because they are transportation-related and include roadway rehabilitation, pedestrian and ADA accessibility improvements, traffic and safety enhancements, transitrelated improvements, and related mobility infrastructure.

The project is expected to produce several public benefits. First, roadway treatment and restriping will improve pavement condition, extend useful life, and provide a more orderly and visible corridor environment. Second, sidewalk, curb, gutter, and curb ramp improvements will enhance accessibility and pedestrian safety, including ADA compliance. Third, targeted street lighting improvements will improve visibility and support a safer public environment. Fourth, upgraded bus shelters will improve transit accessibility, rider comfort, and the visual consistency of the corridor. Collectively, these improvements are intended to create a safer, cleaner, and more attractive public realm for residents, visitors, shoppers, and transit users.

Because Pacific Boulevard functions as a major commercial district, these improvements also carry economic development value. A more accessible and attractive corridor supports neighborhood vitality, encourages walking and local activity, and improves the experience of doing business in the Pacific Boulevard shopping district. Likewise, improvements along Florence Avenue will strengthen one of the City’s major mobility corridors and provide continuity with ongoing regional transit enhancements.

Page 3 of 3 ends

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Pursuant to applicable Metro funding guidelines, Measure R and Measure M revenues must be used solely for eligible transportation-related purposes. The proposed improvements have been structured to align with those eligible uses. In addition, an appropriation by the City Council is required prior to expenditure of the identified funds, and all subsequent project implementation actions must comply with applicable procurement, contracting, and environmental laws.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Approval of this item will appropriate $1,500,000 in available Measure R and Measure M funds for the Mayor’s Citywide Beautification Initiative. These funds will be used for eligible transportation-related planning, design, and capital improvements. There is no immediate impact to the General Fund..

CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the next steps in this process.

City Council Agenda Report
March 24, 2026
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 PROVIDE A SIX-MONTH CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR POLICE TOWING SERVICES WITH MR. C’S TOWING INC.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Approve a six-month extension for police towing services with Mr. C’s Towing Inc.; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the extension agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City of Huntington Park previously entered into an agreement with Mr. C’s Towing to provide official police towing and storage services. This agreement has since expired. Mr.

C’s Towing has continued to provide towing services on an interim basis to ensure there is no disruption to critical public safety operations.

The Police Department is currently in the process of issuing another Request for Proposals (RFP) for towing services. This process will ensure compliance with City procurement policies and allow for a competitive and transparent selection of a qualified towing provider.

DISCUSSION
Towing services are essential to the daily operations of the Police Department, including but not limited to vehicle impounds, evidence preservation, traffic collision response, and the removal of abandoned or illegally parked vehicles. Any interruption in towing services would have a direct and immediate impact on public safety, enforcement capabilities, and traffic management within the City.

Staff is requesting approval of a six-month extension to ensure continuity of service while the RFP process is completed. Due to the scope of work, coordination required, and anticipated timeline for evaluation, staff review, and City Council approval of a new agreement, a six-month extension is both reasonable and necessary.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO PROVIDE A SIX-MONTH CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR POLICE TOWING SERVICES WITH MR. C’S TOWING INC.

March 24, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

During the extension period:
 Mr. C’s Towing will continue to operate under the same terms, conditions, and City approved fee structure previously established
 No rate increases or modifications will be permitted without prior City Council approval
 All services will remain subject to Police Department oversight, performance standards, and compliance requirements
 Staff will actively complete the RFP process and return to City Council with a recommendation for a new agreement prior to the conclusion of the extension period
This extension is intended solely as a temporary measure to maintain uninterrupted service while ensuring the City completes a fair and competitive procurement process.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
There is no direct impact to the City’s General Fund. Towing and storage fees are paid by vehicle owners in accordance with the City approved fee schedule. The City will continue to receive administrative fees as outlined in the agreement.

CONCLUSION
Upon approval by the City Council, staff will proceed with actions as directed.

Respectfully submitted,

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:

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CIP 2022-04 KELLER PARK RENOVATION PROJECT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Award the construction contract to Golden Sun Enterprises, Inc for the construction of CIP 2022-04 Keller Park Renovation Project for the not-to-exceed amount of $1,873,777; and

2. Approve a 20% construction contingency in the amount of $374,755, 10% project management and inspection in the amount of $187,378, and labor compliance in the amount of $15,000; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract agreement and all change orders in good faith; and

4. Adopt the resolution approving the award of the construction contract and associated expenditures for the Keller Park Renovation Project.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
On September 1, 2025, the City published a Request for Bid (RFB) for the renovation of Keller Park, which included a new playground and renovated restroom. The RFB submittal due date was October 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The City received one bid from Oppenheimer National in the amount of $3,500,000. After review, staff recommended rejecting this bid due to the proposed project cost.

On February 12, 2026, staff began advertising the Notice Inviting Bid (NIB) for CIP 2022- 04 Keller Park Renovation Project. The project scope includes the renovation of the existing restroom, replacement of playground equipment and rubberized surface, and installation of benches at the park shelter. The project was advertised on PlanetBids in

accordance with standard procurement procedures to ensure competitive bids and the best value for public funds.

The city advertised the CIP 2022-04 Keller Park Renovation Project on PlanetBids in accordance with our standard procurement procedures, seeking competitive bids to ensure the best value for public funds. A bid opening was held on March 5, 2026, where the City Clerk opened and read five (5) bids. The following is the ranking of bids commencing from the lowest apparent bidder:

Bidder (lowest bid first) Total Bid
Green Giant Landscape, Inc. $1,696,781.35
Golden Sun Enterprise, Inc. $1,873,777.00
Ramsa Construction, Inc. $1,939,136.00
Shiraz Construction $2,228,455.29
KYA Serives, LLC $6,496,181.67
Upon review, Green Giant Landscape, Inc. was determined to be the lowest bidder; however, their bid was found non-compliant due to incorrect bid item unit pricing, missing CDBG documentation, and failure to list a subcontractor. As a result, staff disqualified Green Giant Landscape, Inc. and proceeded with the second lowest bidder, Golden Sun Enterprise, Inc. A thorough bid analysis confirmed that Golden Sun Enterprise, Inc. met all requirements and is the Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the award of the CIP 2022-04 Keller Park Renovation Project to Golden Sun Enterprise, Inc., in the amount of $1,873,777.00, and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract and take any necessary actions to implement the project.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
The City complied with Public Contract Code Sections 20161 and 20162, which require that California public works projects be competitively bid. These competitive bidding laws are designed to promote transparency and integrity by preventing favoritism, fraud, and corruption in the awarding of public contracts. The construction contract has been prepared in accordance with all applicable State, local, and public contracting requirements and authorizes proper execution by the City Manager. Following City Council approval, the City Clerk’s Office will release the bid bonds for all firms not selected.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The project budget is outlined below:

Labor Compliance $15,000.00

Staff recommends awarding the construction contract for the CIP 2022-04 Keller Park Renovation Project to Golden Sun Enterprise, Inc., as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for a not-to-exceed amount of $1,873,777. Staff further recommends approving a 20% contingency of $374,755 and additional soft costs of $187,393, bringing the total project cost to $2,450,910, which remains within the approved total project budget of $2,640,000.

The Contractor will be responsible for all work zone safety inspections and regular training of all staff setting up any traffic control.

30.PRUNING – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
a) Complete pruning includes: raising the canopy height for building and right-of-way clearance, eliminating deadwood, crossing branches, and other safety concerns; shaping and thinning for the health of the tree and for aesthetics. b) Pruning shall be in strict accordance with all standards and methods as prescribed by the International Society of Arboriculture (Appendix A). c) The Contractor shall prune to retain the natural structure of each tree species, unless otherwise directed by the Public Works Department Representative, and have the knowledge and ability to determine each tree species response to pruning.

Pruning patterns shall be consistent so that visual continuity is maintained, and the value of all City trees pruned is increased.
d) The use of chain saws shall be restricted to those cuts that cannot be made with hydraulic, pneumatic, or manually operated lopping shears. All blades, chains and other cutting devices shall be kept sharpened, to make a clean final cut, with the bark intact and free from stripping or shredding. Wound dressings are not permitted.
e) Pruning cuts shall be made carefully and at the proper location; this will be back to the parent branch or trunk, just to the outside of the branch collar and branch bark ridge.
f) Branch cuts shall be kept as small as possible to prevent excessive decay. No live branch greater than eight (8) inches in diameter (measured at the base of the branch) shall be removed without authorization from the Public Works Department Representative, unless said branch is weakly attached or has other significant defect.
g) Limbs, measuring two (2) inches or greater in diameter, shall be removed using the three‐cut method (Appendix A).
h) When pruning mature trees, no more than twenty‐five (25) percent of the leaf‐ bearing canopy should be removed. Live Oaks are limited to ten (10) percent. i) When reducing the length of a limb back to a lateral branch, the lateral should be at least one-third the diameter of the portion removed.
j) Young trees shall be pruned primarily to improve structure (Appendix A). k) Private trees that are encroaching upon a City sidewalk or street, and are not providing proper height clearance requirements, shall be raised on the street‐side only to mitigate nuisance or hazard. The cost shall be adjusted to one-half that for complete raise.
l) The use of climbing spurs, gaffs, or any other climbing device that causes puncture wounds is prohibited, except for aerial rescue efforts, or during removals. m) The Contractor shall not prune any tree(s), which have been pruned by a resident or homeowner and have been trained, cut, or sheared in such a way to form a hedge, espalier, or picturesque shape, and have not been trained in the normal landscape shade tree standard of pruning. Such trees shall not be recorded on the work list. These trees are to be noted, and the Contractor shall inform the Public Works Department Representative of them by address.
n) Any inappropriate piece of metal, wire, rubber, wood, or other material that is damaging the growing tissue of a tree or predisposes the tree to irreparable damage in the future, shall be removed. If it is determined that the material cannot be removed without further damage to the growing tissue of the tree, it shall not be removed, but necessary actions shall be taken to reduce the impact of this material to the tree by cutting out as much of the exposed surface of it as possible. o) Vines that are entwined on the trunk or throughout the limb structure shall be removed with caution, avoiding injury to tree.

31.PRUNING – WORK TYPE DESCRIPTIONS
Below are descriptions of the types of work may be assigned to the Contractor. All general requirements for pruning shall be followed.
a) Grid Pruning – Grid pruning means routine tree pruning per pre‐designated districts/grids on a scheduled cycle or any grouping of seven (7) or more trees near one another, within an approximate 200‐yard radius, and shall be paid as grid pruning even when off the regularly scheduled district/grid plan. b) Full Pruning – The objective is to improve tree structure, reduce wind sail effect, allow for improved light penetration, provide proper clearances, and to remove dead or other undesirable limbs.
c) Crown Raise – In areas where raises are specified, no other type of pruning shall be done. A crown raise is removal of lower branches only, to provide proper height clearance. Fourteen and one-half (14.5) feet clearance is required over streets, where applicable. Nine (9) feet clearance is required over parkways and sidewalks.

To avoid destroying the natural structure of small trees, they shall not be raised to the afore mentioned specifications. Instead, such trees shall be pruned to reduce the length of the obstructing limbs.
d) Crown Cleaning – In areas where cleaning is specified, no other type of pruning shall be done. Crown cleaning is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, broken and weakly attached branches. Crown cleaning shall also include crown raise, when needed to provide proper clearance.
e) Crown Reduction – In areas where height issues are specified, no other type of pruning shall be done. Crown reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree. Thinning cuts are most effective in maintaining the structural integrity and natural form of a tree and in delaying the time when it will need to be pruned again.

The lateral to which a branch or trunk is cut should be at least one‐half the diameter of the cut to be made.
f) Palm Pruning – Palm fronds are to be removed so that a 90‐degree angle is achieved. The angle shall be measured from the horizontal axis of the growing point base.

All dead fronds, flower stalks and fruit stalks shall be removed and cut as close to their base as possible without damaging adjacent fronds or trunk tissue. Loose petioles from previous pruning operations shall be removed carefully.

When pruning palms in the Phoenix genus it is imperative to sterilize all pruning equipment to avoid possible tree‐to‐tree transmission of the disease Fusarium oxysporum.

32.SELECTIVE PRUNING
Selective pruning shall be used to avoid over-pruning and ensure each tree receives only the care it needs. If a tree requires less pruning than assigned, only the necessary work shall be performed. Depending on the tree’s condition, appropriate techniques may include structural pruning, crown cleaning, thinning, reduction, raising, or restoration.

33.TREE REMOVALS
a) All tree removal operations shall be in strict accordance with the methods prescribed by the International Society of Arboriculture. b) Trees designated for removal by the Public Works Department Representative will be marked with a dot, using white paint, on the trunk, just above the root collar of the tree. If for any reason there is doubt regarding the trees(s) to be removed, the Public Works Department Representative will be contacted before work commences.
c) Felling is permitted provided it can be safely achieved without endangering surrounding property and will not interfere with vehicular traffic. A tag line(s) shall be used to direct falls. All bystanders shall be kept at a safe distance from the work site.
d) Trees too large to fell shall be removed in sections. Each section shall be cut into a size that can be handled easily and safely by one tree worker. If section is too heavy for one worker, it shall be rigged and lowered to the ground. The means of lowering shall be acceptable to the Public Works Department Representative. e) Stump grinding shall be incorporated with the removal of the tree and performed on the same day. The underground service alert regional notification center (Dig Alert) must be called prior to the start of the removal list, to allow enough time for each site to be marked before work begins.
f) The depth of stump grind shall be no less than eighteen (18) inches below lowest surface grade. The grind shall comprise the entire stump below soil surface and any uplifted portion of the soil caused by the root flare. Exposed roots, whether in the public right-of-way or private property, shall be traced and ground or chopped out to a depth of no less than eight (8) inches below the lowest surface grade. If irrigation is damaged it shall be repaired immediately. The site shall be backfilled with a mix of 60% soil and 40% of the remaining wood chips; then firmly tamped down to allow for as little settling as possible. All excess wood chips and soil shall be hauled away. When complete, the work site shall be level and at the original soil grade of the surrounding area.

34.TREE PLANTING AND STAKING
a) Trees to be planted by the Contractor shall comply with the Specifications for Procuring Container Grown Landscape Trees (Appendix D). b) All trees shall be planted according to the standards prescribed by the International Society of Arboriculture. Contractor shall comply with the standard plan for tree planting, as per Standard Plans for Public Works Construction (SPPWC), Std. Plan No 518-3, Sheet 2 (Appendix H).
c) Contractor shall comply with DigAlert requirements, as set forth in California Government Code section 4216 et seq., before the excavation of any tree‐planting site.
d) Prior to planting, the natural root flare must be identified. Any soil that may be covering the root flare must be removed. The planting hole shall be dug to a size of two times the width of the root ball, leaving the bottom firm, to prevent the tree from settling. The container shall be removed carefully to prevent root or stem damage; the tree shall not be pulled by the stem. If the container does not come off easily, it shall be cut on one or more sides, from top to bottom, to allow its removal. Circling roots shall be separated and spread outward. Densely matted roots that cannot be teased apart shall be cut cleanly in two places. e) The tree shall be lifted by the root ball only and carefully placed in the planting hole.

The root ball shall be oriented so that the tree stands vertically, with the top of the root ball one to two inches higher than the soil grade. Backfill shall be native soil only with no rocks greater than three inches diameter. Soil shall not be placed on top of the root ball. Contractor shall displace air pockets in the backfill by moderately tamping with shovel handle and watering in. Contractor shall check for settling and add backfill if necessary. To avoid compaction of the soil, Contractor shall not tamp the backfill with excessive pressure or use broad, heavy objects. f) Any tree that can stand upright without support and would be able to withstand prevailing winds along with yearly Santa Ana wind occurrences shall not be staked. g) If upon determining a tree cannot support itself, two stakes of good quality treated lodge pole pine not exceeding eight (8) feet in length and no more than two and one‐half (2.5) inches in diameter shall be used. The stakes shall be placed in a northwest / southeast configuration to give maximum support during heavy wind conditions and placed outside the root ball, avoiding any damage to roots. Stakes shall be pounded down until sufficiently stable. The top of the stakes interfering with branch structure shall be cut off below the lowest branch where the tree’s growth habit permits.
h) Trees shall be tied to stakes using rubber cinch ties, thirty‐two (32) inches in length, attached by a method of a figure eight loop between the tree trunk and each stake.

Ties shall be attached to stakes with galvanized nails driven into the stakes. A minimum of two (2) ties shall be used, placed high enough on the trunk to support the crown. Additional ties shall be placed lower on the trunk if needed to straighten.

Ties shall be taught enough to prevent trunk from rubbing against the stakes, but with a modest amount of slack to allow movement of the tree. Ties shall not be placed in branch crotches.
i) A plastic guard shall be placed loosely around the base of the trunk. j) A watering basin shall be placed around the outer edge of the root ball in areas where run‐runoff will occur. The basin shall be in the form of a tightly compacted soil berm, three inches in height. A watering basin is not required on turf or dense groundcover.

35.STAKING ONLY
The Contractor shall stake any tree that is unable to stand upright on its own, whether the existing stakes have become loosened, damaged, incorrectly installed, or where the stakes are absent. This work shall be performed in any area where the Contractor is pruning or where otherwise directed by the Public Works Department Representative. All the standards shall be followed. (See Appendix F)

36.STAKE REMOVAL
The Contractor shall remove stakes from trees that have achieved enough stability and grown to at least three (3) inches diameter at breast height (DBH). The stakes should be pulled completely out of the ground when possible; otherwise, the stakes shall be cut down below grade and backfilled with soil.

All undamaged tree stakes will be re-used. Any excess tree stakes that are suitable for reuse shall be returned to the City. The Contractor shall dispose of all damaged tree stakes.

Stake removal shall be performed in any area where the Contractor is pruning, at no charge to the City.

37.REMOVAL OF BRUSH AND DEBRIS
The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal and disposal of all debris, such as wood, branches, brush, chippings, and any other material resulting from tree maintenance operations.
a) Contractor must comply with all State and local laws and regulations applicable to and governing such disposal.
b) Disposal of all Eucalyptus wood infested with the larvae of the Eucalyptus Long Horned Borer shall comply with the requirements of California Public Resources Code section 4714.5.

38.TREE WATERING
Watering is to be performed by a one‐man crew with a water truck for newly planted trees newly planted trees for the first year after initial planting or when the tree is determined to be established. Watering will occur along various routes including landscape medians, parkways, parks, and City facilities. At the discretion of the Public Works Department Representative, older trees will be included on a watering schedule to be provided by the City.

39.ARBORIST SERVICES
On occasion, the City requires tree evaluations including written reports. Upon request by the City, the Contractor shall prepare detailed arborist reports, tree risk assessment reports, tree evaluations and site inspections. Reporting may be requested on as little as one tree to an entire Urban Forest population and is handled on a case‐by‐case basis.

40.MILLING
On occasion, the City may request some of the removed urban forest material be milled down for special projects. The Contractor shall such services upon request. Milling can be performed on or off site.

APPENDIX A

TREE PRUNING METHODS

REASONS FOR PRUNING
The goals set forth in pruning are to improve tree structure, reduce hazards; provide clearances, and increase light and air penetration.

PRUNING CUTS
a. Each cut should be made carefully, at the correct location, leaving a smooth surface with no jagged edges or torn bark.
b. When pruning lateral branches, the final cut should be made back to the parent branch or trunk, just to the outside of the branch collar and branch bark ridge.

When removing a dead branch, the final cut should be made just outside the collar of living tissue. If the collar has grown along a branch stub, only the dead stub should be removed (Figure A1).
c. To prevent bark tearing, large limbs should be removed using the three-cut method. The first cut undercuts the limb one or two feet out from the parent branch or trunk. The second cut, made on the top, is positioned slightly farther out than the undercut. The third cut is to remove the stub (Figure A2). d. When it is necessary to reduce the length of the parent branch or leader, it should be cut back to a lateral branch that is large enough to sustain itself and to assume apical dominance. The cut should bisect the angle between the branch bark ridge and an imaginary line perpendicular to the branch or stem being removed (Figure A3).

STRUCTURAL PRUNING OF YOUNG TREES
No more than 25 percent of the canopy should be removed in any one year. a. Remove any broken, dead, dying, or damaged branches. b. Select and establish a dominant leader. This should be the strongest vertical stem. Co-dominant stems should be subordinated (cut back) or removed (Figure A4).
c. Select and establish the lowest permanent branch.
d. Select and establish scaffold branches. These branches should be well attached, appropriate in size, and have proper vertical and radial spacing. The vertical spacing should be at least 18 inches for larger tree species and 12 inches for smaller species.
e. Select and subordinate temporary branches below the lowest permanent branch and among the scaffold branches. These branches should be maintained while the tree is young.

CO-DOMINANT STEMS
If two branches develop from apical buds at the tip of the stem, they will form co-dominant stems. This type of branch structure produces narrow angles at the point of attachment that leads to the formation of included bark. This is bark that becomes enclosed inside the crotch as the two branches grow and develop. Included bark weakens the branch attachment, making the tree more prone to failure. It is best if one co-dominant stem is removed when the tree is young. When faced with large co-dominant branches in older trees, these should be suppressed by reducing the length of the least vigorous limb, thus slowing its growth. The relative size of a branch in relation to the trunk is more important for strength of branch attachment than is the angle of attachment.

PRUNING MATURE TREES
No more than 25 percent of the canopy should be removed in any one year. Pruning cuts should be kept as small as possible. The various pruning techniques are as follows. a.

Crown Cleaning: Selective removal of dead, dying, diseased, broken, or weakly attached branches.
b. Crown Thinning: Includes crown cleaning as well as selective removal of branches to increase light and air penetration, reduce weight, and reduce wind sail effect. The natural structure and shape of the tree should be preserved, and an even distribution of inner lateral branches should be maintained throughout the canopy. Care must be taken to avoid “lion tailing”, which is created when excessive laterals are removed from a limb, leaving most of foliage at the end, thus causing a weight imbalance.
c. Crown Raise: The removal of lower branches to provide proper height clearances. It is imperative that the crown is not raised excessively. A properly raised tree should have a well-formed, tapered structure, which will be able to uniformly distribute stress; approximately one-half of the foliage should originate from branches on the lower two-thirds of the tree.
d. Crown Reduction: Used to reduce the size of a tree. Limbs are cut back to their point of origin or to a lateral capable of sustaining the remaining limb and assuming apical dominance. When a branch is cut back to a lateral, no more than one-fourth of its foliage should be removed. The remaining lateral branch must be at least one-third the diameter of the branch removed, but this rule may vary with species, age, climate, and the condition of the tree. Consideration must also be given to the ability of the species to sustain this type of pruning. e. Crown Restoration: Is the selective removal of water sprouts, and the removal of all stubs and dead limbs to improve a trees structure and form. This method of pruning is usually done because of storm damage or a previous topping. One to three vigorous sprouts on main branch stubs are selected to become permanent branches and to re-form a more natural-appearing crown. These sprouts may need to be subordinated to control apical growth and ensure adequate attachment for their size. Restoration usually requires several pruning jobs over several years.

APPENDIX B

SPECIFICATIONS FOR PROCURING CONTAINER GROWN LANDSCAPE TREES

PROPER IDENTIFICATION
All trees shall be true to name as ordered or shown on the planting plans and shall be labeled individually or in groups by species and cultivar (where appropriate).

COMPLIANCE
All trees shall comply with federal and state laws and regulations requiring inspection for plant disease, pests and weeds.

TREE CHARACTERISTICS AT THE TIME OF SALE OR DELIVERY
A. TREE HEALTH

1. Trees shall be healthy and vigorous; free of injury from biotic (insects, pathogens, nematodes, etc.) and abiotic agents (herbicide toxicity, salt injury, improper irrigation, etc.).

2. The size, color and appearance of the leaves shall be typical for the time of year and stage of growth of the species/cultivar; and shall not be stunted, misshapen, tattered, discolored (chlorotic or necrotic) or otherwise atypical.

3. The length and diameter of shoot growth throughout the crown shall be typical for the age and size of the species/cultivar.

4. Overall height and trunk diameter shall be typical for the age, species/cultivar and container size.

B. CROWN
Central Leader: The best quality shade trees, and most evergreen trees, have a dominant or central leader or trunk that extends up to the top of the canopy. Shade trees of lesser quality have two or more leaders or trunks, which compete against each other. Branches that have narrow angles of attachment and co-dominant stems tend to break at the point of attachment, especially when associated with included bark. Trees purchased from the nursery should have a single, relatively straight central leader and tapered trunk, free of co-dominant stems that compete with the central leader. The central leader should not have been headed. However, in cases where the original leader has been removed, an upright branch at least ½ (one-half) the diameter of the original leader just below the pruning point shall be present.

Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by counsel of CITY’S choice.

4.6 CITY does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against CONTRACTOR because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Grid Tree Pruning
Grid tree pruning is based on pruning in pre-designed districts, or grids on a set cycle and in its entirety. This includes pruning all trees (small, medium, and large-sized.) Pruning will include structural pruning, crown raising, and slight crown cleaning in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards (Best Management Practices) and shall have no more than 15% of the live foliage removed at a given time.

Special Request / Aesthetic Tree Pruning
Special Request / Aesthetic Tree Pruning includes tree maintenance services on designated tree(s) as ordered by the City’s Arborist or designee. This category of pruning may include structural pruning, crown raising, crown cleaning and/or pruning to restore the crown. Whichever work type is ordered by the City, pruning will be performed in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards and the Best Management Practice, Tree Pruning Guidelines.

Pruning to reduce the tree’s crown (or Crown Reduction Pruning) may be performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight needs to be reduced. This type of prune is performed when the City’s primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure and will be charged at the Crew Rental rate as agreed upon by the City and WCA.

Line Clearance
Trees that interfere or have the possibility of interfering with utility lines will be trimmed in a manner to achieve the required clearances as specified and in accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission. It is our goal to protect the current health and condition of the tree and to maintain its symmetry and direct growth away from the utility lines.

Young Tree Maintenance (Optional)
Proper pruning and care during the early stages of the tree’s life will save money in the future, and create a safer, more beautiful, healthy, easy-to-maintain tree. We believe that tree care that is performed early will affect its shape, strength and life span. Our specialized small tree care team consists of certified personnel trained to perform the following under the hourly rate:
• Selective structural pruning
• Removal of dead, interfering, split and/or broken limbs • Pre-conditioning the water retention basin built around the tree • Staking or re-staking
• Adjusting tree ties
• Adjusting trunk protectors
• Weed abatement
5 Setting the Gold Standard
Root Pruning
We strongly recommend against any root pruning, however, should the city elect to proceed, we recommend that it be done no closer than 3 times the diameter of the trunk. Roots will be pruned to a depth of approximately 12 inches by cleanly slicing through the roots, so as not to tear or vibrate the root causing damage to the tree. The excavated area will be backfilled with native soil and debris will be hauled away. This is performed under the hourly rate.

Tree and Stump Removal Operations
With a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice, WCA will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process consists of lowering limbs delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage.

Immediately following the removal, the stump will be ground down, if ordered to do so and with proper USA notification. Our standard stump grinder is the Vermeer SC802. This stump grinder is ideal for any size job and can be used to grade large stumps. We also use the Dosko SC69 stump grinders. These are intended to remove tree stumps and exposed root systems close to ground level. Tree removal and stump removal are to be charged separately in accordance with the contract.

Tree Watering
Tree watering will be performed by a full-time, WCA team member on various routes, when requested by the Agency. This team will also be responsible for reporting special care needs to the small tree care team. This could include reporting weeds, soil that has settled, and/or staking and tying needs. WCA currently provides tree watering in the cities of Culver City, Santa Clarita and Santa Monica as part of their regular tree maintenance services.

Emergency Response
We are prepared for emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. The toll free number is 866-LIMB-DOWN (866-546-2369). This number will be provided to the Agency, Police Department and/or Fire Department. Our emergency response team will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree-related condition safe until the following workday.

Tree Planting
We can replace trees that have been removed and plant new trees in accordance with the City’s specifications. We are prepared financially and logistically to acquire and purchase selected tree species for tree planting. At a minimum of 48 hours in advance we will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. A well-trained planting team will perform the soil preparation and installation of the tree.
6 Setting the Gold Standard
Crew Rental
Due to our vast amount of resources, including our specialty equipment and qualified personnel we are able to extend our commitment to our customers by providing various miscellaneous services outside of the most common tree maintenance services:
• Misc. use of aerial towers and cranes (including equipment rental) • Crown reduction
• Crown restoration
Arborist Reports
We have full-time Certified Arborists on staff that can prepare detailed arborist reports, tree evaluations and site inspections based on your specific needs. Reporting can be generated for one tree or an entire selection and is handled on a case-by-case basis.

management, and civic experience
that makes it the preferred tree
management partner across the West.

Public Notification
Upon Agency staff approval, WCA will post a door hanger notice prior to commencement of grid pruning (within 24-48 hours). After tree plantings, door hangers will be provided to residents instructing them on the proper care for their newly planted tree. For more comprehensive outreach we can also submit a press release for special projects or routine maintenance. The Agency may modify the procedures and materials to which we notify residents.

Communication Systems
Our use of modern and reliable communication systems affect our daily job performance by increasing our efficiency. Management and Field Personnel utilize smart phones as both navigational and communication devices in the field. Smart phones have proven to be a convenient method to input data as related to tree inventories, daily work records, timesheets, photos, and billing information; eliminating the need to handwrite data and improving customer service by minimizing response time.

Permits and Licensing
WCA will procure a City Business License as necessary, and any “no-fee” permits prior to commencement of work. Permits (i.e., encroachment, traffic control, etc.) requiring fees will be charged back to the Agency.

Right-of-Way
All work will be performed in the public right-of-way. Employees will not utilize private property for eating, breaks or any other reason or use water or electricity from such property without prior written permission of owner.

Cooperation and Collateral Work

Quality Control
Feedback
WCA regularly receives and tracks feedback from customers and residents as a means to acknowledge good performance and provide prompt resolution for any negative comments.

Every month, a summary of the feedback is then reviewed by the management team.

Customer Service Department
As we work with, or near, the public,
we are mindful that we will most likely
be the first person the public contacts.

We have a full-time Customer Service
Department with each Customer
Service Representative (CSR) trained
in addressing concerned residents
and bystanders.

Complaints & Damage
Resolution
Should there be any property
damage, we adhere to specific
procedures to resolve the problem.

The Foreman on the job site will notify
the resident and the Inspector immediately.

If the resident is not at home, then we will leave a WCA card with instructions to call our Claims Coordinator in our corporate office. The ultimate goal at each work site is to leave the property in the same condition as before we entered it. We will notify the Agency Representative immediately upon damage of private property including plans for corrective measures to take place within 48 hours.

Any activities found by the Agency to be unacceptable will be rectified immediately. All other complaints will be abated or resolved within twenty-four (24) hours of the occurrence. We have teams specifically assigned for handling damage to properties, both private and public. Through our communication system, we have the ability to dispatch either of these teams and have them respond immediately to the site for proper repair.

We pride ourselves on professional workmanship to avoid these types of incidents, however, should one occur, we take all appropriate measures to resolve the matter in a timely and efficient manner.

Protection of Public and Private Property
WCA will provide all safety measures necessary to protect the public and worker within the work area. We will maintain good public relations at all times. The work will be conducted in a manner which will cause the least disturbance.

8. OTHER INFORMATION
Equipment
Our modern fleet undergoes daily inspection prior to use to ensure efficiency and safety. All equipment is routinely serviced, painted, and detailed. All equipment used during the duration of this project will meet state and federal safety requirements and have all up-to-date certifications, as required.

CHP Biennial Inspection of Terminal
Certification
We have successfully been awarded the CHP Biennial
Inspection Award of Recognition. This inspection has
assisted our company in instituting several safety
programs, as well as our Preventative Maintenance
Program utilized by our in-house fleet department. The
inspection reviews our vehicle maintenance and repair
records, our procedural methods and policies for
vehicle maintenance and operations. This certification
ensures that our vehicles operate safely.

Telematics (GPS)
WCA has partnered with Geo-Tab to provide GPS units
on all vehicles and equipment. This investment has
given us and our customers the following benefits:
• Provide faster response times and more efficient
routing allowing us to service more customers
• Lower operational costs by optimizing our fleet size, reducing labor, overtime, and insurance, and
minimizing costly vehicle repairs
• Decrease fuel use by monitoring fleet fuel economy
and saving on unnecessary fuel expenditures
• Reduce emissions by helping drivers improve their
habits such as speed and idle time, and reducing
total miles driven which will significantly reduce
harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• Improve dispatching with landmarks and driving
directions, GPS units helps us to better dispatch so
that we can service more customers, faster
• Recover stolen vehicles reducing liability costs which can be passed on to customers
27 Setting the Gold Standard
In-House Fleet Maintenance
We currently have more than 1,700 pieces of fairly new equipment that enables us to replace equipment immediately should there be any unforeseen mechanical problems. We employ over 80 full-time mechanics that perform an in-house fleet maintenance program. This allows our equipment to be in good operating condition necessary for accomplishing the City’s needs. Our mechanics generally work on one particular line of equipment, and by keeping our equipment as uniform as possible our mechanics really get to know the equipment inside and out minimizing down time. Equipment is assigned to different crews and if the crew is shared with another contract the equipment will be as well.

Preventative Maintenance Program
All WCA equipment goes through our Preventative Maintenance program. From our solar powered arrow boards, to our Freightliner Roll Off trucks. Our mechanics generally work on one particular line of equipment, and by keeping our equipment as uniform as possible our mechanics really get to know the equipment inside and out minimizing down time.

Sustainability
Over the last few years, we have invested heavily in new equipment to keep our fleet modern, comply with state requirements, meet demand, and reduce our effects on the environment. We understand with a fleet as large as ours that we are responsible for the amount of emissions our vehicles produce and actively make an effort to monitor and reduce our carbon footprint.

Through our ability to
dedicate specific
pieces of equipment for
this project, we believe
it will lead to a
successful program.

Technology & Information Management
ArborAccess
Our tree management program sets us apart from
other companies. With nearly 2,000 active users,
ArborAccess and our mobile app will help you easily
manage your urban forest with ease and
convenience. Tree site attributes include location
(utilizing GPS coordinates), species type, and
parkway size. Features allow you to view and edit
work history records and create work orders directly
from the field, all from our secure cloud.

The information contained in ArborAccess is live
data that can also be linked directly to a GIS
program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes
and can assist your Agency in meeting GASB34
requirements. ArborAccess provides an unlimited
resource of information regarding your urban forest.

Software Training
Our IT Department is based out of our corporate office in Anaheim, CA with regional offices located throughout California and Arizona. Each office has the ability to provide software training to our customers. We are also available to provide training sessions on-site at the customer’s discretion. On-site training is proven to be effective as it provides a guided hands-on experience.

We offer periodic tree maintenance and management workshops each year.

These free workshops are provided to our customers regionally and educate over 250 people annually. They have proven to be a great round-table and networking opportunity for the different agencies in attendance. Presentations are provided by WCA management staff and complimented with guest speakers in the industry.

Certified Arborists and Tree Workers who attend are eligible to receive continuing education credits (CEU’s) from the International Society of Arboriculture.

The success of any urban forest program depends on the proper management of information. Unlimited telephone and/or email support is available to answer technical questions and aid staff in the use of the software system. Software training and support is included in the cost associated with the inventory data collection.

List Tracking System
The List Tracking Report in ArborAccess is a useful tool in the management of incoming work. This report allows both parties to track specific jobs as they are ordered by the Agency. Proper use of this system enables the Agency and WCA to track the completion of work that is ordered.

WCA, Inc. operates a modern invoicing system that is updated on a daily basis. Progress billings will be submitted to the Customers on a bi-weekly basis, unless otherwise requested. Invoices will reflect an amount complete for the billing period, along with a year-to-date total for that job.

Each billing will include a listing of completed work by address, tree species, work performed and appropriate data acceptable to the customer. This information will be supplied in hardcopy and immediately accessible on ArborAccess. Job balances reflecting the percent of completion for each job can be viewed on ArborAccess.

Maintenance Records
Accurate maintenance records for each location oftentimes can assist the Agency with liability claims. Maintaining a detailed history of the work performed at each location demonstrates good faith in preserving its urban forest. It is imperative that work requests are pulled from the system prior to the work being performed, otherwise inventory accuracy is not guaranteed.

Sample Management Tools:

Detailed Tree Site Characteristics
The advanced technology provides
a valuable tool to urban forestry
professionals by displaying specific
tree site information along with a
representative photograph of the
species type and a recommended
maintenance field. ArborAccess’
built-in quality control features assist
in data accuracy. As maintenance
is performed, the work history is
updated and accompanied with
bi-weekly invoices. This process
eliminates the need for dualinputting and helps keep the tree inventory current and accurate.
30 Setting the Gold Standard
Sample: Species Frequency Report
The Species Frequency report can assist your Agency in
identifying the tree population within the urban forest.

This type of information is valuable in the event of an insect infestation, deadly disease, or even estimating
future maintenance costs. In addition, an analysis can
be performed to evaluate the history of the performance of a particular species within your Agency.

Wildlife, Green Waste & Community
Green Waste
WCA’s commitment to be a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and communities is exemplified in our Recycling Program. With the steadily increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, WCA has embarked on a landfill diversion process where all material is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the production of soil amendments. We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trees trimmed for the duration of this project to a recycling center for processing. Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained and reported by WCA via ArborAccess for the purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage.

MULCH is made from coarse ground branches and leaves. It should be spread on the ground at a rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will deplete nitrogen from the surface of the soil which will reduce unwanted weeds. Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of tree debris is processed by WCA and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas.

COMPOST is made from fine ground branches, leaves or other organic material. When mixed with oxygen and water, the organic material will decay or “compost.” A finished compost is excellent for turning into the top layer of soil and will add nitrogen and increase the water holding capacity of soil. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is done at regional recycling facilities.

FIREWOOD is traditionally the most common use of large branches and logs. Firewood is used to heat homes during winter months. WCA takes logs to our yard, and these are then chopped into usable firewood.

Wildlife Protection
We have a full-time Biologist, Lissette Rios, on
staff whose responsibilities include writing
reports, pre-work bird assessments, and training
crews on current bird nesting laws as well as
BMPs for tree maintenance. The protection of
birds, especially during nesting season, is critical
to providing responsible tree maintenance and
her experience, training and skilled eye have
proven to be a great asset to our team. Our
safety and training department has committed
to working with wildlife preservation associations
and played a key role in the establishment of
the Tree Care for Birds and Other Wildlife BMP
that is used in the tree care industry.

Arbor Day Advocates
WCA participates in over 100 Arbor Day and other community events annually by providing educational presentations, tree plantings and sponsorships. As a community partner, we understand the importance of teaching youth about the benefits of trees not only to better our environment but to ensure our urban forests are maintained for years to come.

Community Involvement
WCA participates in Arbor Day and other community events annually by providing educational presentations, tree plantings and sponsorships. As a community partner, we understand the importance of teaching youth about the benefits of trees not only to better our environment but to ensure our urban forests are maintained for years to come. WCA has a designated “Grants Team” to work with agencies to obtain grants for tree planting and growing the urban forest.

Community Campaigns
WCA has partnered with Invest From the Ground Up and the Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture to plant trees across California under their newest initiative – Cool Parks.

With a generous grant from CAL FIRE, the Cool Parks team is working alongside partner cities and nonprofits to bring 2500 trees to California’s disadvantaged and low-income communities, organize a CA Tree Team workshop, and engage residents to learn and care about the trees in their city.

Prior to the “Cool Parks” campaign, WCA participated in the CIRCLE (California Initiative to Reduce Carbon and Limit Emissions) campaign since its launch in October of 2016. Each round of tree planting events has provided thousands of trees to communities across California. The trees planted have the potential to sequester millions of pounds of CO2.

These events are valuable to California communities by generating thousands of volunteers, improving air quality, and educating the local community about proper tree planting techniques.

Together, we can grow the urban forest for a more sustainable future.

Partnering with the Arizona
Sustainability Alliance to
engage K-12 educators in
urban forestry.
