ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2025-054 AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. (0650-33)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Fire
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At their meeting on October 5, 2022, the City Council authorized the purchase of a new PierceArrow XT Multi-Purpose Response Vehicle (fire engine). In anticipation of this purchase, the City set aside $500,000 in the Vehicle Maintenance Fund to assist in the funding of the engine. It was anticipated that the City would continue to reserve funds each year until the necessary amount was available and the fire engine purchase would be executed. However, due to manufacturing timelines and ongoing maintenance issues with the current engines, it was decided to immediately begin the process of purchasing the new engine. To ensure the funding was available for the purchase, it was determined that it would be appropriate to enter into a lease-purchase arrangement with PNC Bank.
While continuing to investigate funding options, staff also ascertained that the fire engine purchase, or the annual payments for the engine, could qualify for Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. CDBG is administered locally through the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development Services (County HCD). The County HCD allocates CDBG funds to participating cities based on a formula that considers factors such as population and income level. The funds are to be used to meet at least one of the National Objectives which involve benefiting low- or moderate-income areas and can be used in a variety of activities including Public Facilities and Improvements, Public Services and Economic Development. Pursuant to conversations with County HCD, it has been confirmed that the City of Imperial Beach Fire Department service area qualifies as a low- or moderate-income census area and CDBG funds can be used towards the purchase of a new apparatus. The application for the FY2026-2027 CDBG funding, the next funding cycle, must be submitted to the County HCD by October 31, 2025 with a new adopted Resolution.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2025-054, a Resolution of the City of Imperial Beach, California Authorizing the Submittal of an Application for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant Funds.
P a g e | 2
OPTIONS:
Adopt Resolution 2025-054 approving the submission of the FY 2026-2027 CDBG application
Provide direction to the City Manager to take a specific action Request additional information and an additional report Delay in the adoption of the resolution could result in staff missing the submission deadline for the FY2026-2027 CDBG funding. The result of missing the deadline could be the need to fund the FY2026-27 lease payment from either the General Fund or the Vehicle Maintenance reserves.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At their meeting on October 5, 2022, the City Council authorized the purchase of a new PierceArrow XT Multi-Purpose Response Vehicle (fire engine). The total cost of the fire engine and equipment is estimated to be $1.2 million. The engine cost, along with a performance bond, is approximately $1,052,000, and it is anticipated that the fire engine would be made available to the City toward the end of 2025. The City opted to pay a $500,000 downpayment and finance the remaining $509,858 of the engine cost with a 5 year, 4.89% interest lease. Lease payments would be approximately $116,700 per year, for 5 years and are due each September with the final payment due in September 2027. The lease includes a $1.00 buyout option at the end of the lease term. The annual payments are now budgeted as part of the bi-annual budgeting process beginning in FY2023-24.
While researching the potential funding methods for the engine, staff obtained information that the fire engine purchase could qualify for Federal Community Development Block Grant Funding (CDBG). CDBG Funding is administered locally through the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development Services (County HCD). The County HCD allocates funds to participating cities based on a formula that considers factors such as population and income level. The funds are to be used to meet at least one of the National Objectives which involve benefiting low- or moderate-income areas and can be used in a variety of activities including Public Facilities and Improvements, Public Services and Economic Development. Pursuant to conversations with County HCD, it has been confirmed that the City of Imperial Beach Fire Department service area qualifies as a low- or moderate-income census area and the City could apply to use their CDBG funds towards the annual lease payments/purchase of the new fire apparatus.
In the past, several years’ worth of CDBG allocations could be requested in advance for funding towards a project such as this. Now, staff must apply for and receive approval for use of the funds on an annual basis. Since the County HCD approval is annual and the funding is not guaranteed, staff will need to budget funds from the General Fund on an annual basis for the yearly lease payments in case the County does not approve a future application for CDBG funding.
The estimated allocation for Imperial Beach for FY 2026-2027 is $124,590. Applications for the CDBG funding cycle are due to the County by October 31, 2025. County HCD staff will review all proposed projects and present the list of projects to the Board of Supervisors for approval in approximately April 2026. Upon Board approval, all sub-recipient projects will need to undergo environmental review (if applicable) and contract execution. Funds should be available for distribution in August 2026.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2025-055 APPROPRIATING $335,000 FROM THE PUMP STATION NO. 8 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW PUMPS AND TO OBTAIN BID SUPPORT AND PUMP PROCUREMENT SERVICES AND RESOLUTION NO. 2025-56 FINDING AND DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY DUE TO FAILURE OF SANITARY PUMP STATION NO. 8 ALLOWING THE SUSPENSION OF NOTICE AND BIDDING REQUIREMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH REPAIRS REQUIRED THEREBY. (0830-35)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Pump Station PS8 is a wet/dry well facility that is over 60 years old. It has had ongoing pump issues over the past few years. Staff has been working with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to put together plans and specifications for an overall rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing and electrical upgrades. The design is near completion and would be put out to bid in the next few weeks.
PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.
The third pump is for emergency purposes only. Two of the pumps failed within the last two weeks.
Then on Saturday 10/11/25, the last remaining working pump failed. The three pumps at PS8 are obsolete and no parts or replacement pumps are available. The station is currently gravity bypassing to Pump Station PS9. It is necessary to accelerate the completion of the PS8 project to alleviate the excessive flows going to PS9.
As part of the design process, MBI assessed and identified Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps as the most adequate pumps for the station. There is currently a 6-week lead time on submittals and a 26- week lead time for pump production after approval.
Staff is requesting an appropriation of $335,000 from Pump Station 8 Construction Project to purchase four new pumps from Flo-Systems, Inc., authorized Fairbanks Nijhuis vendor, and to obtain Bid Support and Pump Procurement Services from MBI.
Imperial Beach Municipal Code (“IBMC”) section 3.04.120A allows for competitive bidding to be dispensed with when the City Manager determines that an emergency requires an order to be placed with the nearest available source of supply in order to mitigate the threat to public health and safety.
As a result of the failure of Pump Station No. 8 and the lengthy lead time for pump production, the City Manager, acting pursuant IBMC section 3.04.120A, may determine the existence of a
P a g e | 2
local emergency based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by the potential sanitary system failure.
Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote, a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-055 appropriating $335,000 from Pump Station 8 Construction Project to purchase four new pumps from Flo-Systems, Inc. and to obtain Bid Support and Pump Procurement Services from MBI. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-56 finding and declaring the existence of an emergency due to failure of pumps at Pump Station 8 allowing the suspension of notice and bidding requirements in connection with repairs required thereby.

The City of Imperial Beach operates and maintains eleven sanitary pump stations which collect and relay sanitary flows to varying locations in the City’s collection system for ultimate conveyance to the City of San Diego METRO system. The sanitary pump stations are of varying styles and include various types of pumps. Pump Station PS8, located at 895 Imperial Beach Blvd., adjacent to the Imperial Beach Fire Station, is one of two major pump stations (Pump Station PS9 being the other) used by the City of Imperial Beach to convey collected sanitary flows directly to the METRO system (eventually entering the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment) operated by the City of San Diego.
PS8 is a wet/dry well facility that is over 60 years old. It has had ongoing pump issues over the past few years. Staff has been working with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to put together plans and specifications for an overall rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing and electrical upgrades. The design is near completion and would be put out to bid in the next few weeks.
PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.

The station is currently gravity bypassing to PS9. It is necessary to accelerate the completion of the PS8 project to alleviate the excessive flows going to PS9. In the event of a power loss or failure of the pumps at PS9, staff
P a g e | 3
has an emergency generator and/or portable pumps that could be installed to keep the pump station operational.
Pump Station 8 Construction Project has an approved budget of $1,500,000 for FY26 in the current Biennial FY26 & FY27 City of Imperial Beach budget. Funds were appropriated from the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
As part of the design process, MBI assessed and identified Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps as the most adequate pumps for the station. There is currently a 6-week lead time on submittals and a 26- week lead time for pump production after approval. Flo-Systems, Inc. is the authorized Fairbanks Nijhuis vendor. The City has successfully purchased pumps from this vendor in the past. The quote for four new pumps, inclusive of a spare pump, is $280,618.50. A total of $300,000 should be allocated to account for any unforeseen changes during the submittal process.
As a result of the lengthy lead time required for pump production by the pump’s manufacturer, the pumps need to be contracted for immediately in order to obtain the pumps as soon as possible to mitigate any potential harm resulting from Pump Station 8’s failure.
IBMC section 3.04.120A allows for competitive bidding to be dispensed with when the City Manager determines that an emergency requires an order to be placed with the nearest available source of supply in order to mitigate the threat to public health and safety.
The City Manager, acting pursuant IBMC section 3.04.120A, may determine the existence of a local emergency based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by the pump station failure.
Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote, a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050.
If such expenditure is ordered, the City Council shall review the emergency action at each regular meeting, to determine if there is a need to continue the action.
Pump Station 8’s failure constitutes an emergency within the terms of Public Contract Code Sections 20168 and 22050, which requires that the City Manager be able to act quickly and without complying with the notice and bidding procedures of the Public Contract Code to repair and protect such public facilities.
MBI would be providing Bid Support during the bid of the overall Pump Station 8 Construction Project. MBI would also be reviewing and responding to submittals and any questions from FloSystems, Inc. during the submittal process. A total of $35,000 should be allocated for this work as a time and materials contract. Any funds not used would return to the project budget.
After bids are received from general contractors for the overall Pump Station 8 Construction project, staff would return to City Council to award a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
