City Council Agenda Report
September 22, 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 OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMLOYEES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2026
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the following base salary schedule adjustments for all non-represented classifications:
3.5% effective January 1, 2026;
4.0% effective July 1, 2027; and
4.0% effective July 1, 2028.
2. Authorize the City Manager and Finance Department to implement the adjustments, amend the applicable salary schedules, process any retroactive compensation required by the effective dates, and make non-substantive corrections necessary to carry out the City Council action.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has approved multi-year salary adjustments for the General Employees Association (GEA), Police Management Association (PMA), and Police Officers Association (POA). Those groups received increases of 3% or 4% in July 2025 and are scheduled to receive 3% in July 2026, 4% in July 2027, and 4% in July 2028. To maintain reasonable alignment and internal equity, staff recommends a 3.5% increase for non-represented classifications effective January 1, 2026, followed by 4% July 1st 2027 and 2028. No separate non-represented salary adjustment is proposed for July 2026.
The recommended 3.5% initial adjustment is the rounded average of the July 2025 increases provided to the three represented groups: 4% for GEA and 3% each for PMA
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMLOYEES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2026
September 22, 2026
and POA. This increase supports comparable treatment without exceeding the highest cumulative represented adjustment.
BACKGROUND
The City Council previously considered a cost-of-living adjustment for non-represented employees through an agenda report recommending adoption of a resolution. The current proposal updates that action to establish a clear multi-year salary schedule beginning January 1, 2026, and aligns the timing and percentage of future adjustments with the City's represented bargaining groups.
Under the current Compensation Plan, non-represented employees receive a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment every other year beginning January 1, 2025, resulting in slower salary growth than the increases provided to the City's represented bargaining groups.

IMPLEMENTATION
Each adjustment will increase every step or rate in the salary schedule for nonrepresented classifications. An eligible employee's base salary will be adjusted consistent with the employee's placement on the applicable salary schedule. Employees hired after an effective date will be placed on the salary schedule then in effect. The January 2026 adjustments will be processed retroactively if implementation occurs after those effective dates, subject to normal payroll review and applicable deductions.
These across-the-board salary adjustments do not replace classification-specific equity reviews. The City Manager may continue to recommend separate adjustments when needed to address documented compaction, recruitment and retention concerns, market alignment, expanded duties, or internal salary relationships, subject to City Council authority and the adopted compensation plan.
The current Compensation Plan remains in effect through June 30, 2033. Before the Plan expires, the City will need to revisit its compensation provisions and evaluate
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMLOYEES FOR 2026 THROUGH 2028 September 22, 2026
whether additional salary, benefit, or policy changes are necessary to maintain market competitiveness, internal equity, and alignment with represented employee agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The fiscal impact consists of the increased salary cost, related employer-paid benefits, and any required retroactive compensation beginning January 1, 2026. The Finance Department has calculated the cost by fund and department using the non-represented payroll in effect for each adjustment date and will identify any necessary budget amendments.
The proposed salary adjustments for non-represented employees are projected to result in a fiscal impact of $74,895.37 for the period of January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, and $149,790.73 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
Future salary adjustments contemplated for Fiscal Year 2027-28 will be incorporated into the annual budget development process and appropriated through future budget adoption by the City Council.
CONCLUSION
Approval will provide non-represented employees with a reasonable and comparable multi-year compensation schedule, support internal equity, and align future increases with the City's represented bargaining groups. Staff recommends adoption of the accompanying resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR PREPARATION OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND ESTIMATE OF CIP 2022-02 ATP CYCLE VI PROJECT NO. ATPL-5150(019)
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement for the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimate of CIP 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI Project No. ATPL5150(019) to DCCM for a not to exceed amount of $606,293; and
2. Payable from Fund 787-8932 CalTrans Reimbursable Funding; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the professional services agreement.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The purpose of the Active Transportation Program is to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation by achieving the following goals:
• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking • Increase safety and mobility for non-motorized users
• Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction goals, pursuant to SD 375 (2008) and SB 341 (2009)
• Enhance public health
• Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program • Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users
This program aims to provide safer routes for students attending twenty-two K-12 campuses within the project area where an average of 93% of students are enrolled in

September 22, 2026
the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program, and seniors accessing nearby medical offices and retirement communities by addressing current gaps in active transportation facilities that disproportionately affect students, seniors and other vulnerable populations living within this disadvantaged community.
The reconstruction of 130 curb ramps to comply with ADA-standards and the installation of new high-visibility crosswalks near twenty-two project area schools will increase motorist visibility and pedestrian safety for students at school campus crossings, and the installation of a new, pedestrian-controlled HAWK beacon will increase safety and comfort for students and parents commuting to the nearby Middleton Elementary and Primary Center. Additionally, the construction of three raised islands around Chelsey Park will increase pedestrian safety and comfort when accessing recreational amenities and other nearby after-school activities and health services for students and seniors.
Other improvements contained within this project include 3,266 LF of new sidewalks and extensive updates to walking/biking paths adjacent to Veteran’s Park, one of the City’s largest green spaces, including the installation of 20 wayfinding signs, 10 flashing beacons, 329 illuminated bollards, 20 speed humps, 10 raised crosswalks, and new active transportation amenities for commuters including waste bins, benches, and shade trees along the areas where the walking and biking paths meet the street and are exposed to vehicular traffic.
These critical ATP updates will encourage children and parents to walk to school, and increase student access to parks, libraries, and other after school activities, helping reduce transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions, while also reducing social isolation which is a major contributor of poor health in an area with healthier community conditions than only 12% of other CA cities (HPI).
On June 22, 2026, staff began advertising for proposals of the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) for CIP 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI Project No. ATPL – 5150(019). The city received four (4) proposals on July 21, 2026. The following is the list of the firms:
Bidder (lowest bid first) Total Bid
West & Associates Engineering, Inc. $195,500.00
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. $387,462.00
AYCE Consulting Engineers, Inc. $523,533.00
DCCM Infrastructure, Inc. $606,923.00
The proposals were reviewed and ranked based on the proposed scope of work, schedule, and understanding of what is required to properly advertise for construction for this project. Upon review it was determined that DCCM Infrastructure ranked higher

based on their experience, understanding of the scope of work and proposed method to accomplish the work. The City of Huntington Park has worked with DCCM on previous ATP designs and Public Works is confident they are familiar with the details required to provide a thorough and clear design package to avoid complications and changes during construction. DCCM Infrastructure is the most qualified consultant with the best overall proposal and is readily available to provide the services required. It is staff’s recommendation to award the professional services agreement for design to DCCM Infrastructure, Inc.
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Congress adopted the Brooks Act (P.L. 92-582), requiring the use of Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) for the procurement of architect and engineering services. The use of QBS ensures that taxpayers receive highly technical architect and engineering services from the most experienced and most qualified firms at a fair and reasonable cost.
California’s QBS requirements can be found at Government Code sections 4525 et seq., also known as the Mini Brooks Act.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The City of Huntington Park has been allocated $4,261,000 from the Fund 787-8932 CalTrans Reimbursable Funding towards the design and construction of the CIP 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI Project No. ATPL-5150(019).
The fee proposal submitted by DCCM Infrastructure, Inc. totaled $606,293 in accordance with the requirements stipulated in the RFP. Staff recommends the award of the PSA to DCCM Infrastructure, Inc., and authorize the allocation of $606,293 from the Fund 787- 8932 CalTrans Reimbursable Funding.
CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

ATTN: Gerald Lopez
RE: RFP for PS&E Services for CIP No. 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI Project No. ATPL-5150(019) Dear Mr. Lopez and Selection Committee:
DCCM Infrastructure, Inc. (DCCM), formerly Southstar, appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering design services for the development of construction bid documents for the City of Huntington Park’s ATP Cycle VI project. We understand this project represents the next phase of the City’s continued investment in pedestrian safety, ADA accessibility, and multimodal connectivity, building upon the success of previous Active Transportation Program improvements throughout the community.
What distinguishes DCCM is not only our technical design experience, but our firsthand understanding of how Huntington Park’s ATP projects have been successfully delivered int he field. Through our construction management and inspection services on the City’s ATP Cycles III, IV, and V projects, our team observed where constructability challenges, utility conflicts, ADA constraints, and contractor questions originated. Rather than simply preparing plans that meet minimum design requirements, we have incorporated those lessons directly into our PS&E approach to produce coordinated, construction-focused bid documents that minimize risk, reduce change orders, and support efficient project delivery.
Our proposal reflects our preparation and commitment through clear, technically detailed approaches supported by experienced discipline leads and comprehensive quality management process. We understand the aggressive delivery schedule established in the RFP and have developed both our project approach and fee accordingly. By integrating permitting coordination, utility verification, interdisciplinary reviews, and constructability evaluations throughout design, instead of standalone efforts, we will provide the City with a complete, coordinated, and advertisement-ready PS&E package will maintaining the project schedule.
DCCM maintains a regional office in Santa Fe Springs, providing immediate proximity to the City and the project area. This allows our team to remain highly responsive, maintain an active field presence, respond quickly to project needs, and coordinate effectively with City staff and stakeholders throughout the duration of the project.
Our Proposed Project Manager, Ms. Sarah Aziz, PE, brings more than 10 years of experience managing complex transportation and public infrastructure projects and is supported by a dynamic design team that understands the importance of minimizing impacts to the community while maintaining efficient, compliant project delivery. Our proposed Quality Control/Quality Assurance Manager, Nicole Jules, PE, MS will also oversee DCCM’s comprehensive QC/QA program, drawing upon decades of transportation design experience throughout Southern California to provide independent milestone reviews, interdisciplinary coordination, and constructability oversight.
DCCM acknowledges Q&A Set 1 released via PlanetBids. We have no exceptions and will adhere to the provisions described in the RFP without modification. DCCM understands that the proposal shall remain valid for no less than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of submittal and attests that all information submitted is true and correct. As DCCM Southern California’s President, I am authorized to bind the company contractually.
I have read, understood, and agreed to all statements in this request for proposal and acknowledge receipt of all addendums/amendments as well as to the terms, conditions, and Attachments referenced.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our qualifications and look forward to supporting the City of Huntington Park.
Sincerely,
DCCM Infrastructure, Inc.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Huntington Park’s ATP Cycle VI Project represents the next phase of the City’s investment in improving pedestrian safety, accessibility, and multimodal connectivity. DCCM understands the project includes approximately 130 ADA curb ramps, 3,266 linear feet of sidewalk, 170 high-visibility continental crosswalks, 10 raised crossings, HAWK beacon’s located at Gage Ave. and Middleton St. and State St. and Live Oak St., respectively, 10 flashing beacons, 329 illuminated bollards at Veteran’s Park, 20 speed humps, 3 raised islands at Chesley Park, 20 wayfinding signs, and other pedestrian improvements serving schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods. Having reviewed the PSRE and previous ATP improvements, DCCM recognizes the importance of maintaining consistency with the City’s existing active transportation network while delivering a complete, bidready PS&E package.
Through DCCM’s construction management and inspection services on Huntington Park ATP Cycles III, IV, and V, our team observed firsthand where RFIs, contractor questions, and change orders originated, including ADA constraints within limited right-of-way, utility conflicts at signal foundations, unclear crosswalk and stop bar limits, and right-of-entry requirements. These lessons directly inform our Cycle VI design approach through enhanced field verification, interdisciplinary coordination, and construction-focused PS&E development.
PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
TASK 1 – CONDUCT FIELD REVIEW AND SURVEYS
Following Notice to Proceed, DCCM will initiate review of available record drawings, utility information, as-builts, and environmental commitments while coordinating survey activities and conducting field investigations. Field investigations will verify existing roadway geometry, ADA facilities, utilities, drainage, traffic signal infrastructure, signing, striping, and right-of-way constraints.
Survey information will be incorporated into the project base mapping to accurately establish crosswalk limits, stop bar locations, utility features, and proposed HAWK installations, providing a reliable foundation for design development and minimizing ambiguity during construction while providing contractors with consistent layout information that supports efficient construction and minimizes field interpretation.
TASK 2 – PREPARE DESIGN PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION
Through coordinated PS&E with the City’s 30%, 65%, 95%, and Final submittals, DCCM integrates roadway, ADA, traffic, electrical, survey, utility, and landscape disciplines into a single construction package.
Drawing upon our construction management and inspection experience on previous Huntington Park ATP Cycles III, IV, and V, the design will emphasize site-specific ADA solutions at constrained locations, early utility coordination before finalizing HAWK foundation locations, clearly defined signing and pavement marking layouts, and consistency with pedestrian treatments previously implemented throughout the City. Standard details will be utilized where appropriate to simplify maintenance while maintaining continuity with prior ATP improvements.
Curb ramp designs will show existing and proposed grades, each of the 130 curb ramp (or bulbout) locations will receive an individual detail verifying slope compliance. Designs will conform to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), Caltrans Design Information Bulletin 82, and Caltrans Standard Plans A88A/A88B, including: maximum ramp running slope of 7.5% , maximum cross slope of 1.5%, minimum 48 inch by 48-inch level landings with 1.5% maximum slope in any direction, maximum counter slope of 5%, minimum 48-inch clear width and truncated dome detectable warning surfaces extending the full width of each ramp. Where constrained right-of-way prevents fully standard geometry, DCCM will document conditions and design to the maximum extent feasible or propose curb extensions (bulbouts) at select locations as allowed by the RFP to shorten crossing distances and resolve grading constraints. New and replacement sidewalk will maintain a 1.5% maximum cross slope and a continuous 48” minimum accessible route and raised crosswalks will incorporate detectable warnings at flush street transitions.
DCCM | City of Huntington Park, PS&E Services for CIP NO. 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI | July 21, 2026 8 Project Approach
Construction staging requirements and temporary traffic control considerations will be incorporated into the PS&E documents, as appropriate, to support safe construction operations. DCCM will prepare traffic control plans for all improvements requiring the re-routing of vehicle or pedestrian traffic within the public right-of-way.
TASK 3 – PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications, special provisions, and contract documents will be developed in parallel with the plans in conformance with the current Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook) supplemented by applicable Caltrans Standards and project-specific requirements. Preparing specifications alongside the design ensures consistency between plan sheets, bid items, construction details, and measurement and payment provisions, resulting in clear and coordinated contract documents.
TASK 4 – CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE
Engineer’s estimates will be developed directly from verified plan quantities and updated at each design milestone, unit prices will be re-verified at the time of final approval as required by the RFP. Independent quantity verification will confirm uniformity between plans, specifications, bid schedules, and cost estimates, reducing contractor questions and minimizing change orders resulting from quantity discrepancies or incomplete bid documents.
TASK 5 – PERMITTING AND REGULATIONS
DCCM will integrate permitting and regulatory coordination throughout design by incorporating applicable PSRE environmental commitments into the PS&E documents and coordinating early with utility companies, Los Angeles County, neighboring jurisdictions, railroads, and other affected agencies. Drawing upon construction management and inspection experience from the City’s previous ATP projects, potential utility conflicts, rightof-entry requirements, and jurisdictional approvals will be addressed early in design to minimize permitting risks, avoid redesign, and support timely project delivery.
DCCM also recognizes that improvements at State Street/Santa Ana Street require coordination with the City of South Gate, while improvements at Randolph Street/Carmelita Avenue require coordination with the City of Bell.
These agencies will be engaged early to obtain concurrence prior to final PS&E.
SCHEDULE
DCCM recognizes the City’s accelerated delivery objectives and has structured our project approach to maintain continuous design progression throughout each phase of the project. Key activities, including utility coordination, permitting, QA/QC reviews, and interdisciplinary coordination, will occur concurrently with design development to avoid schedule bottlenecks near milestone submittals. Our proposed schedule follows the milestone durations established in the RFP while incorporating proactive coordination and disciplined project management practices that support timely delivery of complete, high-quality PS&E documents. Our schedule can be found in the Schedule and Schedule Control section of this proposal.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
DCCM | City of Huntington Park, PS&E Services for CIP NO. 2022-02 ATP Cycle VI | July 21, 2026 15
QUALITY CONTROL / QUALITY ASSURANCE
DCCM’s Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program establishes a systematic review process to ensure each PS&E submittal is technically accurate, interdisciplinary coordinated, and ready for advertisement. Quality is incorporated throughout design—not inspected at the end—through milestone reviews, independent QA, and document coordination.
Quality management begins at project initiation through establishment of project-specific design criteria, communication protocols, document control procedures, milestone schedules, and discipline responsibilities.
The Project Manager maintains overall responsibility for project quality, ensuring consistency across all disciplines while monitoring scope, schedule, budget, and incorporation of City review comments throughout project development.
Each design milestone (30%, 65%, 95%, and Final PS&E) undergoes multiple levels of review prior to City submittal. Discipline leads first verify technical accuracy within their respective areas of responsibility, including roadway design, ADA compliance, traffic engineering, electrical systems, signing and striping, specifications, quantities, and cost estimates. The Project Manager then performs an interdisciplinary coordination review to verify consistency between all project documents. Finally, an independent senior reviewer performs a comprehensive QA review to verify overall completeness, constructability, and compliance with project requirements.
Beyond traditional engineering review, DCCM will incorporate formal constructability reviews at every design milestone, applying lessons learned from Huntington Park ATP Cycles III, IV and V. Particular attention will be given to verifying ADA constructability within available right-of-way, utility conflicts associated with HAWK beacon foundations and electrical improvements, clarity of signing and pavement marking plans, stop bar and crosswalk layouts, quantity verification, agency coordination requirements, and consistency between plans, specifications, and bid schedules. These focused reviews will address many of the issues that historically generated RFIs and contract modifications during construction, allowing them to be resolved before advertisement.
DCCM will ensure construction control information, quantities, and bid items are clearly coordinated to facilitate accurate contractor layout and minimize field interpretation.
Document coordination is equally important to project quality. Prior to each submittal, DCCM verifies consistency between plan sheets, standard details, technical specifications, special provisions, engineer’s estimates, bid schedules, and measurement and payment provisions. Design comments are tracked through resolution, revisions are independently verified, and updated documents undergo final review prior to release. This disciplined process ensures that changes made within one discipline are accurately reflected throughout the complete PS&E package.
Should unforeseen conditions or design issues arise, DCCM will immediately evaluate available alternatives, discuss recommendations with the City, and implement the selected solution while minimizing impacts to scope, schedule, and budget. By combining disciplined engineering reviews with construction-informed quality management, DCCM will provide the City with coordinated, accurate, and bid-ready PS&E documents that support efficient bidding, minimize construction risk, and facilitate successful project delivery.

Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC. FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE ARTERIAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS STPL-5150(021) PROJECT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for Design Services for the Arterial Street Improvements STPL-5150(021) Project in the amount of $243,007; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Services Agreement and all related documents.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City of Huntington Park is advancing the Arterial Street Improvements STPL-5150(021) Project, a federally funded pavement rehabilitation project that includes AC and PCC pavement improvements, curb ramps, utility adjustments, signage, and striping at nine major intersections along Florence Avenue and Pacific Boulevard.
To proceed with project delivery, the City requires professional engineering design services, including topographic surveying, geotechnical investigation, preparation of construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, and bidding-phase support.
On September 11, 2025, the City issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Services, which included as-needed Public Works/CIP project design, surveying, geotechnical, environmental compliance, and federally funded project support.
Following evaluation, the City awarded the Engineering Services contract to Transtech Engineers, Inc.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC. FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE ARTERIAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS STPL-5150(021) PROJECT September 22, 2026
Transtech has submitted a proposal dated June 28, 2026, totaling $243,007, which includes:
• $123,200 – Design labor (plans, specs, cost estimate, PM, RFIs) • $66,484 – Topographic survey (Case Land Survey, with admin markup) • $53,323 – Geotechnical investigation (Geo-Advantec, with admin markup) The proposal is fully consistent with the scope of services authorized under the competitively awarded Engineering Services RFP and therefore does not require additional competitive bidding. Because the total amount exceeds the City Manager’s purchasing authority of $100,000, City Council approval is required.
Awarding this agreement will allow the City to proceed with design and Caltrans Local Assistance requirements necessary to obligate federal funds and advance the project to construction.
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
This project is funded through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Surface Transportation Program – Local (STPL). All design services must comply with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Transtech’s proposal includes federally compliant design and documentation procedures.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The total proposed cost for design services is $243,007. Funding for this project is available in the FY 2026 Capital Improvement Program, Fund 787 – Capital Improvement Projects, under the Arterial Street Improvements STPL-5150(021) project.
No additional appropriation is required.
Upon Council approval, the Finance Department will process payments consistent with the City’s adopted budget and the executed Professional Services Agreement.
CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR CITY ATTORNEY LEGAL SERVICES
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Award City Attorney legal services to Olivarez Madruga Law Organization, LLP (OMLO), with Rick R. Olivarez serving as the designated City Attorney; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute a Professional Services Agreement with OMLO, subject to approval as to form.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
This item completes the City's competitive process for permanent City Attorney legal services and considers awarding services to Olivarez Madruga Law Organization, LLP (OMLO).
After the City's prior City Attorney firm resigned in February 2025, the City Council appointed Andrew Sarega of Sarega Law, APC as Interim City Attorney to maintain continuity of legal services while the City conducted a comprehensive search for permanent representation.
The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for City Attorney services on May 19, 2026, with proposals due June 18, 2026. Six firms submitted proposals and participated in the evaluation process. A five-member evaluation panel consisting of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Chief of Police, Director of Human Resources, and City Prosecutor reviewed the proposals, conducted structured interviews, and considered supplemental information, staffing, service delivery, and financial terms.
The evaluation identified Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, OMLO, and Aleshire & Wynder, LLP as the three leading firms. Although Burke received the highest aggregate panel evaluation, staff based its recommendation on the complete procurement record and overall value to the City. OMLO demonstrated strong municipal law capabilities,
