REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: October 8, 2024
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING WAIVER OF
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT
TO LA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.40.070A
(3) AND (6) AND THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS TO
SMART COVER SYSTEMS FOR DEPTH SENSOR
INSTALLATION IN THE ALVARADO SEWER BASIN
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
SUMMARY:
Issues:
Should the City Council approve a resolution waiving competitive bidding requirements pursuant to City of La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070a (3) and (6) and authorizing the expenditure of funds in the amount of $140,420.84 to Smart Cover Systems for depth sensor installation in the Alvarado sewer basin? Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution waiving competitive bidding requirements pursuant to City of La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070a (3) and (6) and authorizing the expenditure of funds in the amount of $140,420.84 to Smart Cover Systems for depth sensor installation in the Alvarado sewer basin.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the project is currently available in the Sewer Improvement CIP Account 301-68300-000-1240SF.
City’s Strategic Goals:
Invest in infrastructure to serve the needs of the community.
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: October 8, 2024
Page: 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:
Due to age and condition of the sewer mains in the Alvarado sewer basin, the system experiences inflow and infiltration (I&I) of storm or ground water into the pipes. Reducing I&I results in lower treatment costs to the City of La Mesa and reduced change of sanitary sewer overflows.
The project includes installing depth sensors at twenty-four locations within the Alvarado sewer basin. The locations were chosen to monitor the flow from each of the sewer sub basins into the sewer trunk as well as locations along the sewer trunk. Data collected from the sensors will help City staff rank the sub basins in terms of relative I&I, which will assist to prioritize future sewer improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The City already has nine Smart Cover Systems depth sensors installed that are used as early warning devices for potential overflow events at strategic locations. Using the same company to install additional depth sensors will keep all of the data collected from depth sensors throughout the City on the same company-hosted online platform. In order to streamline the data management process, the City proposes to waive the formal bidding process. In accordance with City of La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070a (3) and (6), the City can waive bidding requirements when the commodity being purchased is compatible with other equipment presently on hand, and when the firm has performed similar or equal satisfactory work previously for the City on the same scope of work, respectively.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution waiving competitive bidding requirements pursuant to City of La Mesa Municipal Code Section
2.40.070a (3) and (6) and authorizing the expenditure of funds in the amount of $140,420.84 to Smart Cover Systems for depth sensor installation in the Alvarado sewer basin.

Review and Processing Times
Staff continues to utilize the MaintStar portal’s permit tracking system to track review timeframes of permit submittals. This system allows staff to track submittal dates, number of reviews, and the length of each review. The table below highlights the average review and processing times of different permit types in the second quarter.
With the available data from the second quarter, the Building Division continues to see
improvement in review and processing times for various projects. The table below highlights the average first review and total processing times for Additions/Alterations and Miscellaneous projects, which were consistent with the first quarter.

For Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit processing time, the review time for completion of first review continues to be consistent with the first quarter (See matrix below), with an average review time of 21 days. However, the data shows that there has been a 10% improvement in time from application to issuance, with a decrease from 104 days to 84 days on average. This improvement can be attributed to a variety of continuous improvements efforts, including the staff’s knowledge of state ADU law, continuous improvements to application handouts, and applicant utilization of the ADU guidebook. Staff continues to look at ways to educate, inform, and streamline the development process for applicants.

The use of instant solar permitting continues to increase. Out of 104 issued solar permits in the second quarter, 44 permits were issued instantly via Symbium, the City’s instant solar permitting platform. We continue to encourage the use of the instant permitting platform through informational flyers at the customer services counter as well as a direct link to the instant permitting portal from our solar permit webpage. Staff anticipates a continuous increase in Symbium submittals moving in to the third and fourth quarters. Standard solar submittals remain consistent with the first quarter, averaging a review time of 4 days.

Process Improvements
As part of the department’s goal to educate, inform, and streamline the development process for applicants, Community Development continues to make regular updates to the department’s webpage, most importantly the Interactive Development Project Map.
The project map is still updated each month to provide important information regarding new projects and their status in the Planning process. The MaintStar permitting map also continues to be a great resource for those who desire to view properties in La Mesa with active or final projects.
In alignment with the City’s commitment to continuous improvement, the department continues to identify ways to provide excellent customer service and develop workflow improvements. Most recently, Community Development has added an Assistant Planner, and is currently recruiting for an Assistant/Associate Engineer and an Engineering Technician that will assist in further improving permit processing times and make the permitting process as quick and efficient as possible.
Staff will continue to monitor progress of development services and anticipates returning to Council with the third and fourth quarter updates after the first of the year.

Page: 2 of 2
BACKGROUND:
The San Diego Regional Fire & Emergency Services Foundation (Fire Foundation) has $393,207 (90%) in funds approved for the acquisition of 200 radios to be used by the 11 San Diego County Central Zone fire agencies. The Central Zone has collectively committed a $43,690 (10%) cost share for the grant. The total value of the grant is $436,987.
Alpine agreed to lead this effort by working with each agency to determine the type and number of single head and dual head mobile and portable radios needed by each agency and then to order, acquire, pay for, and distribute all the radios. Each agency will reimburse Alpine for 10% of the cost of their radios. The Fire Foundation will reimburse Alpine for 90% of the cost of the Radios, or a total of $393,876, or until all available funds are expended, whichever shall first occur.
The $393,876 funded by the Fire Foundation comes from a portion of a grant received from the San Diego River Conservancy. The Fire Foundation is solely involved in providing its share of the funding.
Acceptance of this grant will provide the La Mesa Fire Department with 27 new radios (6 mobile single head, 5 mobile dual head, and 16 portable). The cost for these radios is $62,763. The grant will fund 90% of the costs ($56,487) and La Mesa will pay a cost share of 10% ($6,276). La Mesa will have full responsibility for the maintenance of its radios. The cost of maintenance will be absorbed in the regular Fire Operations budget.
A finalized memorandum of understanding will be provided upon approval of all participating fire agencies. Once the order is placed, the turnaround time for the portable radios is approximately 45 days. The turnaround time for the mobile radios is approximately six months. It is anticipated that all radios will be received within the current fiscal year.

SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE
RELINQUISHING ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY OF THE MOBILEHOME
PARKS ACT AND SPECIAL OCCUPANCY PARKS ACT TO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
As part of the agenda for the City Council meeting that took place on July 23, 2024, staff introduced an ordinance intending to relinquish authority of the Mobilehome Parks Act (MPA) to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance. The City Council adopted the ordinance on August 13, 2024.
A copy of the adopted ordinance and a letter stating the City’s desire to relinquish enforcement was sent to HCD on August 29, 2024. HCD responded to the letter and requested that additional language regarding the Special Occupancy Parks Act (SOPA) be added to the ordinance. Pursuant to Title 25, Section 1004 (a) (1) of the California Code of Regulations, the assumption of responsibility includes both the MPA and SOPA.
The attached draft ordinance would replace and supersede Ordinance No. 2024-2911 to revise technical deficiencies (as discussed above) in order to relinquish the authority of both the MPA and SOPA, and related responsibilities for the enforcement of Division 13, Part 2.1 and 2.3, of the Health and Safety Code. Therefore, the adoption of the attached draft ordinance complies with HCD’s request.
At the City Council meeting of September 24, 2024, the City Council unanimously approved the introduction and first reading of the Ordinance relinquishing enforcement of the Mobilehome Parks Act and Special Occupancy Parks Act to the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance.
