RE: City of La Palma/Unispec Construction, Inc.
Dear Mr. Slentz:
As you know, Unispec Construction, Inc. (“Unispec”) entered into this contract on February 6, 2024 with the City of La Palma (the “City”) for the lump sum contract price of $2,533,643.70. Significantly, this price was $1,335,556.80 less than the second lowest bid by KASA Construction, Inc. of $3,870,133.50. Unispec’s price was, therefore, less than two thirds of the price of the next lowest bidder.
Unispec was able to offer this amazingly low price based upon its reasonable understanding that Unispec would perform the complete contract. The General Provisions, Section 1, Intent provides, “(t)he intent of the Contract Documents is to include all work consistent therewith and reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary for completion of the contract and provide a functionally complete Project.” (Emphasis added).
In particular, Unispec entered into the contract at the low price that it offered with the expectation that the contract would include the procurement and placement of boulders. Question 1 of the pre-bid questions for the project queried, “Are there any boulders on this project, please confirm and clarify?” In response the City wrote, “(t)here are boulders on the project, per Construction Legend, Note 7 of the construction sheets. All boulders shall be paid at the contract bid price and estimated quantity shown on the attached revised bid schedule.”
Based upon these assurances, Unispec bid the project with the expectation that it would be performing the boulder work, and its price for boulders included a considerable portion of its overhead, general conditions expenses and profit. The City wants to decrease the contract amount by $202,800, an amount that would decrease Unispec’s profit and overhead recovery by $147,471.37. This is essentially the majority of Unispec’s profit and overhead costs for the project.

Unispec also believed that it would be required to place 24-inch box trees on Item No. 3 Mood Street-Crescent Ave to Houston Ave-Existing Medians, Item No. 16.
Understanding from the project contract that it would provide a quantity of eight trees for this item, Unispec included profit and overhead in this line item. The City, opportunistically, seeks to deprive Unispec from this profit and overhead, by converting the 24-inch box trees to 15 Gallon Trees, at a savings of $8,700 per tree.
The removal of all boulder work and the conversion of the aforementioned trees on Moody Street would result in a drastic change to the work of Unispec’s contract.
A similar situation was addressed by a California court in Hensler v. City of Los Angeles (1954) 124 Cal.App.3d 71 (“Hensler”), a contract between the City of Los Angeles and a civil contractor. In Hensler, the court found that a deletion of a significant portion of the contract was a breach of contract. The Hensler court, interpreting a similar contract found that a changes provision “may not be invoked to allow deletions from a construction contract which were not made for the purpose of satisfactory completion of the project, but as an attempt by defendant to exculpate itself from its obligations of counter-performance.” In Hensler, the court awarded damages based upon the difference between the unit price and the expected cost of the work.
Your October 22, 2024 letter addresses the “Greenbook,” Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction published by BNi Publications, Inc. The Greenbook at section 3-2.2.1, third paragraph, provides, If a change is ordered in an item of work covered by a Contract Unit Price, and such change does involve a substantial change in the character of the work from that shown on the Plans or specified in the Specifications, an adjustment in payment will be made per 3-2.4.
Greenbook section 3-2.4 provides for the parties to agree upon the prices.
Clearly the deletion of boulders and the conversion of the trees Item No. 3 Mood StreetCrescent Ave to Houston Ave-Existing Medians constitutes a change in the character of the work.
Moreover, because this is a federally funded project, federal precedent also applies. California courts are “strongly persuaded by decisions relating to federal procurement bidding.” Pacific Architects Collaborative v. State of California, 100 Cal. App. 3d 110, 125 (1979).
“When the Government deletes work from contract requirements, the Government is entitled to a downward adjustment in the contract price reflecting the amount

that the contractor saved as a result of that deletion. (Citation). The agency bears the burden of proof to substantiate the amount of the deductive change for deleted work.” Yates-Desbuild Joint Venture v. Department of State (2017) 17-1 BCA P 35870, Emphasis added.
See also, Federal Transit Administration, Best Practices Procurement & Lessons Learned Manual, October 4 2016, section 5.2.5 Basic Pricing Formula, summarizing federal precedent as follows:
When repricing as a result of the change order, courts have limited the repricing to the changed work without altering the original profit or loss position of the contractor. This is known as the “leave them where you find them approach.”
Pricing the Deleted Work—Under the basic pricing formula, the amount of the adjustment for the deleted work is the cost the contractor would have incurred had the change not been issued; i.e. had the work been performed.
Being in the public works contracting business for 34 years, Unispec knew this project is federally funded and that any change orders, additive or deductive, would be with the consent of both parties, and not unilateral.
Another point relevant to this issue is the actual work performed by Unispec.
Unispec installed 24-inch box trees in the locations specified for the cheaper 15-gallon trees, resulting in a clear betterment for the City.
Finally, Unispec has performed the contract in a timely manner to the complete satisfaction of the City. No doubt this performance, and the legal issues described above would shine the best light possible upon my client, should these issues be considered by a judge or jury.
For these reasons, I sincerely suggest that the City honor its contractual obligations by allowing Unispec complete the project that it bid.
Very truly yours,
Joseph C. McGowan, Jr.

Charles Navarro, a resident of La Palma, addressed the City Council regarding the length of time for construction of this cell tower.
Mr. Silverman, representing AT & T, responded that it takes a few weeks - usually in about six to eight weeks without any issues; that the physical construction of the site itself would take two to three weeks; that there will need to be some additional time to run power underneath the site location; and that the actual construction of the tower would not be very loud noise or require a crane, and would happen only during business hours.
Karen Zigorski, a La Palma resident, addressed the City Council regarding whether the gap in service has always been there or if this issue came up recently.

Agenda Item No. 5
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Belinda Deines, Community Development Manager AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Agreements for Development of a Cross-Connection Control Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Cost Sharing Agreement with 24 Public Water Systems in Orange County to ensure compliance with State regulations for $5,981.65 to the Irvine Ranch Water District; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with John Robinson Consulting, Inc. to prepare the City's Cross-Connection Control Management Plan for an amount not-to-exceed $24,900.
SUMMARY:
In December 2023, the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB DDW), adopted the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (Handbook), replacing previous drinking water regulations effective July 1, 2024. The Handbook strengthens drinking water safety by requiring Public Water Systems (PWSs) to implement enhanced cross-connection control measures in compliance with Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations.
The Handbook mandates that all PWSs prepare and submit a Cross-Connection Control Plan (CCCP) addressing ten specific requirements by July 1, 2025. Submissions must be approved by SWRCB DDW’s Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board office.
To ensure timely compliance with these requirements, the City of La Palma has partnered with Irvine Ranch Water District and 24 other Orange County PWSs in a collaborative effort led by Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) (Attachment 1). This partnership has engaged John Robinson Consulting, Inc. (JRC) to develop a Template Cross-Connection Control Plan (Template Plan), which will provide a customizable framework tailored to each PWS, streamline compliance efforts, and establish consistent regional standards. The attached Fee Estimate (Attachment 2) from IRWD does not include all agencies. However, it is anticipated that all 25 agencies will divide the total cost of $111,260 plus an individual agency meeting of $1,531.25. Therefore, the total cost per agency for the Template
Agenda Item No. 5 April 1, 2025 | 2
Plan is estimated at $5,981.65.
Given the City's limited staffing in the Public Works Division at this time, staff recommends that the City hire JRC for professional consulting services to prepare the City's CCCP as detailed in the Proposal (Attachment 3). The Template Plan will be customized to City of La Palma operating procedures and reporting requirements, and a draft Ordinance for the implementation of these regulations will be presented to the City Council by no later than July 1, 2025, as required by State law. JRC prepared the template and is implementing the CCCP for the cities of Orange, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach. John Robinson was also involved in the original design of the City's Walker Well in the 1980s. The contract fee for the preparation of the City's final CCCP shall not exceed $24,900.

COST SHARING AGREEMENT
(Development of Template Cross-Connection Control Plan) This Development of Template Cross-Connection Control Plan Cost Sharing Agreement ("Agreement") is effective for each party as of the later date of the two signatures below ("Effective Date") and is between IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT ("IRWD"), CITY OF
ANAHEIM, CITY OF BREA, CITY OF BUENA PARK, CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY,
CITY OF FULLERTON, CITY OF GARDEN GROVE, CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH,
CITY OF LA HABRA, CITY OF LA PALMA, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CITY OF SAN
CLEMENTE, CITY OF SANTA ANA, CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CITY OF TUSTIN, CITY OF
WESTMINSTER, EL TORO WATER DISTRICT, LAGUNA BEACH COUNTY WATER
DISTRICT, MESA WATER DISTRICT, MOULTON NIGUEL WATER DISTRICT, SANTA
MARGARITA WATER DISTRICT, SOUTH COAST WATER DISTRICT, TRABUCO CANYON WATER DISTRICT, and YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT. Each is referred to individually as a "Party," and collectively as the "Parties." A. The California State Water Resources Control Board ("State Board"), which regulates all Public Water Systems ("PWSs") in California, requires PWSs to protect the public water supply by compliance with Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. The State Board has adopted the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook ("Handbook"), effective July 1, 2024, to establish standards to which each PWS's drinking water distribution system will be subject regarding the backflow of liquids, gases, or other substances. The Handbook requires each PWS, no later than July 1, 2025, to prepare and submit a Control Plan that will describe how the PWS will fulfill the ten requirements identified in the Handbook. Each PWS in Orange County must submit its Control Plan to the Division of Drinking Water at the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board office for review and approval.
B. The Parties have determined that it will be to their joint advantage to collaborate to develop a template for a control plan ("Template Control Plan") that may, with minor modifications, be adapted for use by each of the Parties. The Parties further agree that a qualified consultant with industry knowledge will be required to assist the Parties in developing the Template Control Plan (the "Work"). The Parties will schedule meetings that will be held approximately monthly with the selected consultant to advance the creation of the Template Control Plan.
C. The Parties intend by this Agreement to provide the framework under which they will share costs for the selected consultant's Work.
The Parties therefore agree as follows:
1. Contract for the Work. On behalf of all of the Parties, IRWD shall serve as the contracting agency and will request proposals from qualified consultants and ultimately select and enter into a Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) with the successful proposer ("Consultant") to perform the Work. The selection will be made with the assistance of whichever other Parties volunteer to participate in the selection process. IRWD shall promptly pay all invoices submitted by the Consultant for the Work. At the conclusion of the Work and IRWD’s receipt of the Consultant’s final invoice, or by August 1, 2025, whichever occurs first, IRWD
2 20877033.10
shall invoice each of the Parties (including any additional parties hereafter added to this Agreement pursuant to Section 3, below) for their proportional share of the costs of the Work (as further described in Section 4, below).
2. Scope of Work. The Consultant will develop a specific scope for the Work, budget, and schedule necessary to produce a Template Control Plan that the Parties can adapt to meet requirements of the State Board as set forth in the Handbook. The Consultant will perform the Work on a time-and-materials basis for an estimated not-to-exceed amount of $180,000, which includes 20 percent for contingencies above the Consultant’s estimated costs of $150,000.
These costs are subject to the cost-sharing provisions set forth in Section 4, below.
3. Additional Parties. In addition to the Parties listed above, additional parties may be added to this Agreement, subject to all of the covenants, terms, and conditions of the Agreement. Additional parties may join this Agreement at any time before completion of the Work upon written invitation by one or more of the original Parties, by executing the signature page and delivering an electronic version to all then-current Parties. Additional parties will be treated as original parties to this Agreement and equally share in the total cost of the Work, as described in Section 4, below.
4. Cost Sharing. The Parties shall share equally the cost of the Work. Each Party’s share of the cost will be determined by taking the total invoiced amount from Consultant for all completed Work and dividing that amount by the number of Parties at the conclusion of the Work. At the conclusion of the Work, IRWD will invoice each Party for an equal share of the total cost of the Work. Each Party shall pay IRWD its equal share no later than 60 days after receiving the invoice. Upon the request of any Party, IRWD will provide copies of the Consultant's invoices and IRWD's payment records.
5. Meetings. IRWD shall coordinate all aspects of the Work with the selected Consultant. Any Party may participate in meetings with the Consultant to review interim and final results of the Work. IRWD will schedule meetings of the Parties to facilitate review of the Work, and will schedule meetings with the Consultant and the Parties at the reasonable request of any Party for the same purpose.
6. Indemnity. Each Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other Parties, and their officers, agents, and employees harmless from any expense, liability, injury, loss, damage or expense to persons or property (collectively, “Claims”) that may arise or may be claimed to have arisen as a result of the development and approval of the Template Control Plan. Each Party's indemnity and defense obligations will not apply to any portion of any Claims determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been proximately caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of another Party, its officers, agents, or employees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences in this section, each Party is solely responsible for its own costs and expenses associated with the indemnity and defense obligations set forth in this section, and such costs are not subject to cost sharing under this Agreement. This section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7. Property. All documents, data, and written materials furnished by a Party to Consultant shall remain that Party’s property and shall be returned to that Party upon request. All
3 20877033.10

8. Withdrawal. Any Party may withdraw from this Agreement upon 30 days’ written notice to the other Parties. However, the payment obligations of that Party will be pro-rated based on the percent of the Work accomplished up to the withdrawal date.
9. Warranty of Authority. Each person executing this Agreement in a representative capacity represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of and to bind the Party on whose behalf he or she executes the Agreement.
10. Construction. This Agreement will be construed as if the Parties jointly prepared it.

Ms. Belinda Deines, Community Development Manager
City of La Palma
7822 Walker Street
La Palma, CA 90623
Subject: Letter Proposal to assist City of La Palma to develop a Cross-Connection Control Management Plan
Dear Ms. Deines:
John Robinson Consulting, Inc. (JRC) in association with Thomas R. Holliman Associates (TRHA) are pleased to offer our professional services letter proposal per discussion during the Public Water System meetings. City of La Palma (La Palma or City) are looking for assistant to develop and finalize a Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) that is consistent with the State Water Resource Control Board Division of Drinking Water’s (DDW) Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH).
Per the CCCPH, La Palma will be required to have standards for backflow protection and crossconnection control which will included general requirements, hazard assessment and backflow prevention assemblies protection. Finally there will be required an establish record keeping, backflow incident response and notification. See Attachment 1 for DDW’s CCCPH which was adopted on December 19, 2023, effective July 1, 2024 and revised in March 2025.
JRC is a California S Corporation, a certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the State of California Department of General Services and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Our firm is located in the City of Pasadena and Highland, respectively.
JRC and TRHA offers a strong cross connection control knowledge which is support with the last 30 and 40 years of effort, respectively JRC staff has prepared over twenty cross connection control programs with the last 10 years. Within the last 2 months, JRC completed and submitted the cross connection control program for Jurupa Community Services District located in Riverside and are assisting a number of agencies including cities, private water system and special district with their Cross-Connection Control Management Plans
This letter proposal outlines our scope of services, schedule and compensation to develop and finalize a CCCMP for La Palma.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Meetings and Coordination
JRC will conduct two meetings with La Palma staff during the course of the development of the CCCMP. JRC will prepare the agenda three (3) days prior to the meeting and provide meeting minutes with specific action items two (2) days after the meeting.
Ms. Belinda Deines, Community Development Manager - 2 - March 24, 2025 1055 E. Colorado Blvd, STE 500, Pasadena, CA 91106 TEL (626) 375-9389 www.johnrobinsonconsulting.com JRC will submit progress reports to La Palma staff by the 1st of each month with the JRC’s invoice.
The Progress Reports will provide updates on the project schedule, deliverables, and activities.
Task 2 - Hazard Assessment
JRC will review the City's current hazard assessment procedures and determine if the current process is acceptable and meets CCCPH's initial hazard assessment requirements. The City currently has water meters and backflow prevention assemblies installed on domestic and fire service lines of commercial, multi-family, institutional, and irrigation customers. Each category of user will require a separate hazard assessment approach. JRC is currently developing a schedule of hazard assessment approaches for each of the user classes and discussing those approaches with the DDW, for twenty-four water agencies in La Palma County, including the City. Assessing residential users may include, but not be limited to, determining if the resident has a pool, gray water system, onsite well, sewer injector pump system, or other feature that would require backflow prevention at the meter. Commercial/Industrial site assessments may focus on the unprotected commercial/industrial sites as Phase 1 of the assessments.
JRC will advise on developing a process and assist with performing initial hazard assessments, including for all of the user classifications. JRC will assist with establishing procedures for conducting hazard reassessments of user premises. Assistance will be in the form of developing the approaches and drafts of assessment forms or flyers. It will not include performing site inspections.
Task 3 – Draft Cross-Connection Control Plan
JRC will develop and provide a Draft CCCMP that includes, at a minimum, all procedures and documentation listed in Section 3.1.4 of the CCCPH. JRC will be responsible for ensuring the approval of the CCCMP from both City’s City Council. JRC will assist the City with the submission of the CCCMP to DDW. JRC responsibility to ensure approval will be limited to addressing needed corrections or adjustments to the CCCMP to ensure final approval from the City’s City Council.

Changes made to the
CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook
(CCCPH)
Updated: March 2025
This document will be updated to document any changes made to the CCCPH. The CCCPH (link to CCCPH) will not include any changetracking. The date of this document is the most recent version and includes all previous updates to the CCCPH.
All sections referred to in this document are in the CCCPH – no other regulations or documents are changed in this document.
March 2025
Revisions:
Section 3.2.1(f): Noncommunity water systems must conduct an initial or followup hazard assessment within two years of the adoption effective date of the CCCPH.
Section 3.2.2(e): Except as noted below, a PWS must ensure its distribution system is protected with no less than DC protection for a user premises with a fire protection system within ten years of adoption the effective date of the CCCPH.
Section 3.2.2(e)(2): For existing fire protection systems that do not meet Section 3.2.2 (e)(3) or cannot install DC protection within ten years of adoption the effective date of the CCCPH…
Purpose and reason: The State Water Board is changing the use of “Adoption Date” in the CCCPH to “Effective Date”. When the CCCPH was adopted the State Water Board included a sixmonth gap between the adoption date and the effective date. The State Water Board intended for all instances of deadlines associated with “Adoption Date” to be replaced with “Effective Date”, but not all instances were changed prior to CCCPH adoption; this change to the CCCPH will correct those errors.

2 Chapter 1 – Policy Overview
1.1 Objective
The primary objective of the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) is the protection of public health through the establishment of standards intended to ensure a public water system’s (PWS) drinking water distribution system will not be subject to the backflow of liquids, gases, or other substances. In addition, by providing basic educational information on backflow prevention, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) intends to build a foundation of awareness within the regulated community regarding the importance of backflow protection and crossconnection control, leading to the implementation of a robust cross-connection control program for PWSs.
1.2 Applicability
The CCCPH and its standards apply to all California PWSs, as defined in California’s Health and Safety Code (CHSC, section 116275 (h)). Compliance with this CCCPH is mandatory for all California PWSs.
1.3 Policy Development Background and Legal Authorities Through the adoption of the CCCPH, the State Water Board is exercising its authority, under California’s Safe Drinking Water Act0F
1 (SDWA), to establish enforceable standards
applicable to California’s PWSs. Failure to comply with the CCCPH may result in the issuance of compliance, enforcement, or other corrective actions against a PWS.
1.3.1 California Safe Drinking Water Act
On October 6, 2017, Assembly Bill 1671 (AB 1671) was approved and filed with the Secretary of State (see Appendix A). AB 1671 amended California’s SDWA through the establishment of CHSC sections 116407 and 116555.5. AB 1671 also amended section 116810 of the CHSC, which is briefly discussed in Appendix G.
On October 2, 2019, Assembly Bill 1180 (AB 1180) was approved and filed with the Secretary of State. AB 1180 amended Section 116407 of the CHSC and added section 13521.2 to the Water Code. AB 1180 requires that the CCCPH include provisions for the use of a swivel or changeover device (swivel-ell).
1 CHSC, div. 104, pt. 12, ch. 4, section 116270 et seq.
3 AB 1671 and 1180 established the following:
· The State Water Board must adopt standards for backflow protection and crossconnection control by January 1, 2020. · The State Water Board may establish standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of the CCCPH, with the CCCPH not being subject to the requirements of the CA Administrative Procedure Act.1F 2 · If standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control are established via the CCCPH, the State Water Board must:
o Consult with state and local agencies and persons, identified by the State Water Board, as having expertise on the subject of backflow protection and cross-connection control.
o Hold at least two public hearings before adoption of the CCCPH. o Post the CCCPH on the State Water Board website.
· Upon the effective date of the CCCPH, the previous cross-connection control standards2F
3 become inoperative, and are repealed 90 days later, unless the State Water Board determines not to repeal a specific existing regulation. · A PWS must implement a cross-connection control program that complies with the standards adopted by the State Water Board.
· Use of a swivel-ell must be consistent with any notification and backflow protection provisions contained in the CCCPH.
The development of the CCCPH included consultation with stakeholders, including state and local agencies, on an array of subjects related to cross-connection control, consistent with the statutory mandate, as well as consideration of input from other stakeholders and the general public in a February 20, 2020 workshop.
Prior to adoption of the CCCPH, in accordance with the statutory mandate, the State Water Board held two public hearings - one on April 27, 2021, and the other on December 5, 2022. A Board Workshop was held on October 18, 2023.
Pursuant to sections 116407 and 116555.5 of the CHSC, the State Water Board chose to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of this CCCPH, which became effective July 1, 2024.
Aside from the mandates of AB 1671 related to the State Water Board’s need and authority to develop and adopt an enforceable CCCPH, there are long-standing statutory mandates in California’s SDWA concerning backflow protection and crossconnection control, some of which are summarized below. 2 Gov. Code, tit. 2, div. 3, pt. 1, ch. 3.5, section 11340 et seq. 3 Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, div. 1, ch. 5, subch. 1, grp. 4, arts. 1 & 2, section 7583 et seq.
4 · The State Water Board is required to adopt regulations for the control of crossconnections that it determines to be necessary for ensuring PWSs “distribute a reliable and adequate supply of pure, wholesome, potable, and healthy water.” (CHSC section 116375, subd. (c).)
· Any person who owns a PWS is required to ensure that the distribution system will not be subject to backflow under normal operating conditions. (CHSC section 116555, subd. (a)(2).)
Prior to AB 1671 and the adoption of this CCCPH, California’s regulations pertaining to cross-connection control were set forth in regulations in CCR Title 17,3F 4 which were
adopted in 1987 with minor revisions in 2000. Although still protective to public health, the CCR Title 17 cross-connection regulations required updating as both the drinking water and cross-connection control industries had evolved. This CCCPH updates those regulations, which as previously noted are no longer operative following the adoption of the CCCPH.
The State Water Board may update its standards for backflow protection and crossconnection control through revisions of the CCCPH. Prior to adopting substantive revisions to the CCCPH, the State Water Board will consult with state and local agencies and persons identified as having expertise on the subject by the State Water Board, and the State Water Board will hold at least one public hearing to consider public comments.

6 Chapter 2 – Background on Backflow Protection
and Cross-Connection Control
2.1 What is a Cross-Connection?
A cross-connection is an interconnection between a potable water supply and a nonpotable source via any actual or potential connection or structural arrangement between a PWS and any source or distribution system containing liquid, gas, or other substances not from an approved water supply. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, improperly installed swivel or change-over devices and other temporary or permanent devices through which, or because of which backflow can occur are considered to be cross-connections.4F
5 The CCCPH includes acceptable
installation criteria for swivel-ell and other types of backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) to prevent backflow.
Backflow is the undesired or unintended reversal of flow of water and/or other liquids, gases, or other substances into a PWS’s distribution system or approved water supply.
The presence of a cross-connection represents a location in a distribution system through which backflow of contaminants or pollutants can occur. Backflow occurs when a non-potable source is at a greater pressure than the potable water distribution system.
Backflow can occur from either backsiphonage or backpressure. Backsiphonage occurs when a non-potable source enters the drinking water supply due to negative (i.e., sub-atmospheric) distribution system pressure. Backpressure occurs when the pressure from a non-potable source exceeds the pressure in the potable water distribution system.
Backsiphonage may be caused by a variety of circumstances, such as main breaks, flushing, pump failure, or emergency firefighting water demand. Backpressure may occur when heating, cooling, waste disposal, or industrial manufacturing systems are connected to potable supplies and the pressure in the external system exceeds the pressure in the distribution system. Both situations act to change the direction of water, which normally flows from the distribution system to the customer, so that non-potable substances from industrial, commercial, or residential premises flows back into the distribution system through a cross-connection.
Cross-connections are not limited to industrial or commercial facilities. Submerged inlets are found on many common plumbing fixtures and are sometimes necessary features of the fixtures if they are to function properly. Examples of this type of design are siphon-jet urinals or water closets, flushing rim slop sinks, and dental cuspidors. 5 California Department of Health Services (DHS), Public Water Supply Branch. (1988). Guidance Manual for cross connection Control Program (Green Manual). California Department of Health Services.
7 Older bathtubs and lavatories may have supply inlets below the flood level rims, but modern sanitary design has minimized or eliminated this cross-connection in new fixtures. Chemical and industrial process vats sometimes have submerged inlets where the water pressure is used as an aid in diffusion, dispersion and agitation of the vat contents. Even though a supply pipe may be installed above a vat, backsiphonage can still occur. Siphon action has been shown to raise a liquid in a pipe such as water almost 34 feet. Some submerged inlets are difficult to control, including those which are not apparent until a significant change in water level occurs or where a supply may be conveniently extended below the liquid surface by means of a hose or auxiliary piping. A submerged inlet may be created in numerous ways, and its detection may be difficult.
Chemical and biological contaminants have caused illness and deaths during known incidents of backflow, with contamination affecting several service connections, and the number of incidents reported is believed to be a small percentage of the total number of backflow incidents that actually occur. The public health risk from cross-connections and backflow is a function of a variety of factors including cross-connection and backflow occurrence and type and amount of contaminants.
2.2 Purpose of a Cross-Connection Control Program
The purpose of a cross-connection control program is to prevent the occurrence of backflow into a PWS’s distribution system in order to protect customers from contamination or pollution from any on-site hazards. Properly installed and maintained BPAs, devices or methods provide protection against the threat posed by many conditions typically found on a user’s premise.
The use of approved BPAs ensures that the appropriate performance evaluation of the assembly was conducted. It is important and required by the CCCPH to select and properly install an approved BPA that is capable of protecting the distribution system from the hazard identified. The success of a program depends on individuals that are knowledgeable about cross-connection control to identify actual and potential hazards, apply principles of backflow protection and prevention, and implement cross-connection control policies and procedures. A successful program will have ongoing surveillance of a PWS to ensure BPAs, devices or methods are working, and identify new hazards or changes in the distribution system. Certified specialists are needed to properly evaluate the degree of hazard that exists in the distribution system. Hazards typically identified in distribution systems along with the required level of protection are specified in Chapter 3 of the CCCPH.
2.3 Notes on Applicability of the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook
The CCCPH provides the basis for regulating the use and management of crossconnection control programs and BPAs in PWSs, and related requirements for supporting programs and policies. Activities or uses outside of the scope of the
8 authority of the State Water Board to regulate PWSs are not regulated by the CCCPH, including California Plumbing Code requirements and definitions not related to PWSs.
Recycled water cross-connection control installations and programs for the purposes of protecting the recycled water supply are not regulated by the CCCPH, although a PWS that uses recycled water is regulated by the CCCPH to ensure that a PWS’s drinking water system has adequate backflow protection from a recycled water system.
Water systems that do not meet the definition of a PWS (e.g. “State Small Water Systems” under CCR Title 22, Article 3) are not regulated by the CCCPH, although they may need to comply with the California Plumbing Code, local health agencies, and other laws or entities.
Transient noncommunity and nontransient noncommunity systems are PWSs and must comply with both the California Plumbing Code and CCCPH. The California Plumbing Code and the CCCPH will overlap in protection of these user premises. To ensure compliance, these noncommunity water systems may need to have internal crossconnection control programs within the user premises.
Noncommunity water systems must have the ability to enforce backflow protection within the premises. Compliance with the California Plumbing Code can be verified by the PWS and used for compliance with the CCCPH. Compliance with the CCCPH is documented through the hazard assessment and maintenance of an inventory of fieldtestable BPAs and methods. Annual field testing of BPAs is required. Where the minimum backflow protection differs between the California Plumbing Code and the CCCPH, the more protective minimum protection will be required.

19 Article 2 – Hazard Assessments and Required Protection
3.2.1 Hazard Assessments
(a) To evaluate the potential for backflow into the PWS, each community water system must conduct an initial hazard assessment of the user premises within its service area and each noncommunity water system must conduct an initial hazard assessment of its water distribution system. The hazard assessment must consider:
(1) The existence of cross-connections;
(2) the type and use of materials handled and present, or likely to be, on the user premises;
(3) the degree of piping system complexity and accessibility; (4) access to auxiliary water supplies, pumping systems, or pressure systems; (5) distribution system conditions that increase the likelihood of a backflow event (e.g., hydraulic gradient differences impacted by main breaks and high waterdemand situations, multiple service connections that may result in flow-through conditions, etc.);
(6) user premises accessibility;
(7) any previous backflow incidents on the user premises; and (8) the requirements and information provided in the CCCPH. (b) Each hazard assessment must identify the degree of hazard to the PWS’s distribution system as either a high hazard cross-connection, a low hazard crossconnection, or having no hazard. Examples of some high hazard cross-connection activities may be found in Appendix D.
(c) The hazard assessment must determine whether an existing BPA, if any, provides adequate protection based on the degree of hazard.
(d) Hazard assessments completed prior to the adoption of the CCCPH may be considered as an initial hazard assessment provided that such hazard assessments and associated backflow protection provide protection consistent with the CCCPH and the PWS describes their review of these assessments in the Cross-Connection Control Plan required in CCCPH section 3.1.4.
(e) Subsequent to the initial hazard assessment described in subsection (a), a community water system must perform a hazard assessment under the following criteria:
(1) if a user premises changes account holder, excluding single-family residences;
(2) if a user premises is newly or re-connected to the PWS; (3) if evidence exists of changes in the activities or materials on a user’s premises;
(4) if backflow from a user’s premises occurs;
(5) periodically, as identified in the PWS’s Cross-Connection Control Plan required pursuant to CCCPH section 3.1.4.;
20 (6) if the State Water Board requests a hazard assessment of a user’s premises; and
(7) if the PWS concludes an existing hazard assessment may no longer accurately represent the degree of hazard.
(f) Noncommunity water systems must conduct an initial or follow-up hazard assessment within two years of the effective date of the CCCPH. (g) Noncommunity water system must conduct a follow-up hazard assessment of its water distribution system if any changes are made that could result in a crossconnection or any backflow incidents occur. (h) A cross-connection control specialist must review or conduct each initial and followup hazard assessment pursuant to this section and make a written finding that, in the specialist’s judgment based on cross-connection control principles, the PWS’s hazard assessment properly identified all hazards at the time of the assessment, the appropriate degree of hazards, and the corresponding backflow protection.
3.2.2 Backflow Protection Required
(a) A PWS must ensure its distribution system is protected from backflow from identified hazards through the proper installation, continued operation, and field testing of an approved BPA (see Article 3 for installation and approved BPA criteria). When a DC is required or referenced in the CCCPH, a DCDA or DCDA-II type of assembly may be substituted if appropriate. When an RP is required or referenced in the CCCPH, an RPDA or RPDA-II type of assembly may be substituted if appropriate. (b) The BPA installed must be no less protective than that which is commensurate with the degree of hazard at a user premises, as specified in this Chapter and as determined based on the results of the hazard assessment conducted pursuant to CCCPH section
3.2.1. (c) Unless specified otherwise in this Chapter, a PWS must, at all times, protect its distribution system from high hazard cross-connections (see Appendix D for examples), through premises containment, through the use of AG(s) or RP(s). (1) Following State Water Board review and approval, a PWS may implement an alternate method of premises containment in lieu of a required AG provided that the proposed alternative would not increase the level of risk to protection of public health.
(2) Following State Water Board review and approval, a PWS may accept internal protection in lieu of containment when premises containment is not feasible.
21 (d) Except as otherwise allowed or prohibited in statute or in CCR Title 22, Division 4, Chapter 3, a swivel-ell may be used instead of an AG for premises containment protection when temporarily substituting tertiary recycled water use areas with potable water from a PWS if all the following criteria are met:
(1) the swivel-ell is approved by the State Water Board; (2) the PWS has a cross-connection control program, required pursuant to CCCPH section 3.1.3, and the use and operation of the swivel-ell is described in the Cross-Connection Control Plan required pursuant to CCCPH section 3.1.4; (3) the design and construction-related requirements of the swivel-ell adheres to the criteria in Appendix C;
(4) at least every 12 months, inspections are performed and documented to confirm ongoing compliance with the design and construction-related requirements in Appendix C;
(5) the RP used in conjunction with the swivel-ell is field tested and found to be functioning properly:
(A) immediately upon each switchover to potable water use, a visual inspection of the RP must be completed

(c) BPAs must not be modified following approval granted under section 3.3.1 (b). PWS must require BPA testers to notify the PWS if a water user or PWS-owned BPA has been modified from the CCCPH section 3.3.1 (b) approval.
3.3.2 Installation Criteria for Backflow Protection
(a) For AGs, the following is required:
(1) The receiving water container must be located on the water user’s premises at the water user’s service connection unless an alternate location has been approved by the PWS;
(2) all piping between the water user’s service connection and the discharge location of the receiving water container must be above finished grade and be accessible for visual inspection unless an alternative piping configuration is approved by the PWS;
(3) the PWS must ensure that the AG specified in CCCPH section 3.3.1 (a) has been installed; and
(4) any new air gap installation at a user’s service connection must be reviewed and approved by the State Water Board prior to installation. (b) RPs must be installed such that the lowest point of an assembly is a minimum of twelve inches above grade, and a maximum of thirty-six inches above the finished grade, unless an alternative is approved by the PWS.
(c) DCs installed or replaced after the adoption of the CCCPH must be installed according to CCCPH section 3.3.2 (b). Below ground installation can be considered if approved by the PWS where it determines no alternative options are available.
24 (d) A PVB or SVB must be installed a minimum of twelve inches above all downstream piping and outlets.
(e) SVBs may not be used for premises containment. PVBs may only be used for roadway right of way irrigation systems as premises containment where there is no potential for backpressure.
(f) A RP or DC installed after the adoption of the CCCPH must have a minimum side clearance of twelve inches, except that a minimum side clearance of twenty-four inches must be provided on the side of the assembly that contains the test cocks. The PWS may approve alternate clearances providing that there is adequate clearance for field testing and maintenance.
(g) Backflow protection must be located as close as practical to the water user’s service connection unless one or more alternative locations have been approved by the PWS.
If internal protection is provided in lieu of premises containment, the PWS must obtain access to the user premises and must ensure that the on-site protection meets the requirements of this Chapter for installation, field testing, and inspections. (h) Each BPA and air gap separation must be accessible for field testing, inspection, and maintenance.
3.3.3 Field Testing and Repair of Backflow Prevention Assemblies and Air Gap Inspection

(b) BPAs must be field tested at least annually. The CCCPH does not preclude a PWS, the State Water Board, or a local health agency from requiring more frequent field testing for premises with high hazard cross-connection or BPA at increased risk of testing failure.
(c) Air-gap separations must be visually inspected at least annually to determine compliance with this Chapter by persons certified as backflow prevention assembly testers or certified as a cross-connection control specialist pursuant to this Chapter. (d) PWS must receive passing field tests before providing continuous service to a water user with a newly installed BPA.
(e) PWS must ensure that BPAs that fail the field test are repaired or replaced within 30 days of notification of the failure. Extensions may be allowed by the PWS if included as part of the Cross-Connection Control Plan.
25 (f) PWS must require backflow prevention assembly testers to notify the PWS as soon as possible within 24 hours if a backflow incident or an unprotected cross-connection is observed at the BPA or prior to the user premises during field testing. PWS must immediately conduct an investigation and discontinue service to the user premises if a backflow incident is confirmed, and water service must not be restored to that user premises until the PWS receives a confirmation of a passing BPA field test from a backflow prevention assembly tester and the assembly is protecting the PWS.

The following laws and regulations are considered related or tangential to the CCCPH, and are included in a descriptive format to provide additional, relevant background information
California Laws and Regulations
In addition to the California SDWA statutory requirements cited in CCCPH Chapter 1, section 1.3.1, California has statutes addressing certain authorities and requirements that may have influenced the CCCPH or may otherwise be of interest. ▪ Urban and community water systems must have a written policy on discontinuation of residential service for nonpayment and must not discontinue residential service for nonpayment if certain conditions are met. (CHSC sections 116900 – 116926) ▪ Senate Bill 1263 (2017) requires that before a person submits an application for a permit for a proposed new public water system, the person shall first submit a preliminary technical report which must include a cost comparison of a new public water system and consolidations with an existing system. (CHSC section 116527) ▪ Effective June 24, 2015, Senate Bill 88 (SB 88) (Statutes 2015, Chapter 27) added sections 116680-116684 to the CHSC, allowing the State Water Board to require certain water systems that consistently fail to provide safe drinking water to consolidate with, or receive an extension of service from, another public water system. The consolidation can be physical or managerial. ▪ Local health officers may maintain programs for the control of cross-connections by water users, within water users’ premises, where public exposure to backflow may occur. Such programs may include water user premises inspections, collection of fees, certification of backflow prevention assembly2F
1 (BPA) testers, and other
discretionary elements. Local health officer BPA tester certification standards must be consistent with the standards prescribed in the CCCPH. Water users are required to comply with all orders, instructions, regulations, and notices from the local health officer regarding installation, testing, and maintenance of a BPA. (CHSC sections 116800 - 116820).
▪ Pursuant to the California Building Standards Law (CHSC sections 18901 - 18949.31), the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) must administer the processes related to the adoption, approval, and publication of regulations referred to as the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulation). Title 24 serves as the basis for the minimum design and construction 1 California statutes use a variety of terms when referencing a ‘backflow prevention assembly’ (e.g., backflow protective device, backflow protection equipment, backflow prevention device, backflow or back siphonage protection device, backflow preventer, or backflow device). For consistency with industry terminology, ‘backflow prevention assembly’ is used in the CCCPH, unless directly quoted otherwise.
G-2
of buildings in California and includes the California Plumbing Code (Part 5 of Title 24), which contains requirements pertaining to cross-connection control and backflow prevention.
▪ A BPA intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption via drinking or cooking must meet California’s “lead free” requirements. (CHSC section 116875)
▪ Limits are established for the installation of backflow protection equipment where automatic fire sprinkler systems are utilized. (CHSC section 13114.7)23F 2 ▪ Cross-connection control must be addressed in engineering reports that are required (CCR Title 22, section 60323) for recycled water projects. (Wat. Code section 13552.8)
▪ If a public agency requires the use of recycled water for toilet and urinal flushing in a structure (except certain mental health facilities), the public health agency must prepare an engineering report that addresses cross-connection control. (Wat.
Code section 13554)
▪ Prior to indoor use of recycled water in a condominium project, the entity delivering the recycled water must submit a report, for State Water Board24F 3 approval, and
include the following related to cross-connection control (Wat. Code section 13553(d)(1)):
▫ The condominium project must be provided with a backflow prevention assembly approved by the State Water Board.
▫ The backflow prevention assembly must be inspected and tested annually by a certified tester.
▫ The condominium project must be tested by the recycled water agency or local agency at least once every four years for indications of possible crossconnections between the condominium’s potable and non-potable systems. ▪ California’s Department of Water Resources was required to convene a task force, known as the 2002 Recycled Water Task Force, to identify constraints, impediments, and opportunities for the increased use of recycled water and report 2 CHSC section 13114.7 historically provided potential limits for backflow prevention assemblies on fire sprinklers. Even though current standards differ from the language stated in CHSC section 13114.7, it is still being provided as a historical reference as there may still be installations with the now outdated limits established in section 13114.7
3 The California Department of Public Health’s authority and responsibility pertaining to this reference was transferred to the State Water Board via Senate Bill 861 (2014, Chapter 35). As such, applicable statutory mandates that may refer to “California Department of Public Health” or “Department” may be referred to as “State Water Board” in this document.
G-3
to the Legislature by July 1, 2003. The task force was also asked to advise and make recommendations concerning cross-connection control, including the applicability of visual inspections instead of pressure tests for cross-connections between potable and non-potable water systems. (Wat. Code section 13578(b)(1).
The final report25F
4 provided the following recommendations to the State Water Board – Division of Drinking Water (Division):
▫ Prepare guidance on dual plumbed regulations (22 CCR sections 60313-60316) consistent with Appendix J of plumbing code (Chapter 15 of 2019 California Plumbing Code, formerly Chapter 16A).
▫ Support thorough assessment of risk associated with cross-connections between disinfection tertiary recycled water and potable water. ▫ Ensure uniform interpretation of cross-connection control requirement of Title 22 regulations (recycled water) and Title 17 (cross-connection control regulations)
▫ Recommend stakeholders to review draft Title 17 regulations. ▪ A person engaged in the salvage, purchase, or sale of scrap metal who knowingly possesses a backflow prevention assembly (or connections to the assembly or any part of the assembly), or who failed to report the possession of such items, which was previously owned by a utility or public agency, is guilty of a crime. (Pen. Code section 496e)
▪ Junk dealers or recyclers who possess a backflow prevention assembly (or connections to that assembly or any part of the assembly) without a written certification from the agency or utility owning or previously owning the assembly will be liable to the agency or utility for the wrongful possession. (Civ. Code section 3336.5 and, similarly, Bus. & Prof. Code section 21609.1) Please note that a number of the codes, regulations, and statutes cited above are implemented under the authority of regulatory entities other than the State Water Board and would therefore be beyond the scope of this CCCPH. The intent of providing such citations is to increase general awareness with respect to other potential statutory requirements associated with cross-connection control. The list is not exhaustive and does not include other requirements that may exist, including those via regulations that may have been adopted by an appropriate regulatory entity.

All suppliers of domestic water to the public are subject to regulations adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. section 300f et seq.), as well as by the State Board under the California SDWA (Health & Saf. Code, div. 104, pt. 12, ch. 4, section 116270 et seq.). Additionally, the State Water Board has been delegated primacy - the responsibility and authority to administer U.S. EPA's drinking water regulations within California – on the condition that California adopt enforceable requirements no less stringent than U.S. EPA's.
The U.S. EPA currently has no distinct cross-connection control requirements that apply broadly to public water systems (PWS); however, the importance of cross-connection control is evident by the issue papers and guidance documents developed by U.S. EPA and their recognition that cross-connections and backflow represent a significant public health risk (see discussion in Chapter 2). Although U.S. EPA currently has no distinct cross-connection control requirements, the subject of cross-connection or backflow prevention assemblies is included in the U.S. SDWA and the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) in relation to PWS, including the following:26F 5 ▪ If used exclusively for non-potable services, a backflow prevention assembly (BPA) is exempt from the federal lead prohibitions. (42, U.S.C. section 300g) ▪ Allows increasing disinfectant concentrations in a PWS distribution system in the event of a cross-connection (backflow) event. (40 C.F.R. section 141.130(d)) ▪ Proper maintenance of the distribution system, including cross-connection control, is identified as a best available technology (BAT) for microbial contaminant control. (40 C.F.R. section 141.63(e))
▪ Under the federal Revised Total Coliform Rule, a PWS having a cross-connection control program is one of the enhancements necessary to reduce monitoring for a PWS that had been under an increased monitoring frequency. (40 C.F.R. section 141.854(h)(2))
▪ Under the federal Revised Total Coliform Rule, a PWS having a cross-connection control program is a criterion for a state to allow a reduced monitoring frequency (40 C.F.R. section 141.855(d)(1))
▪ If a state allows the monitoring frequency reductions previously mentioned under the federal Revised Total Coliform Rule, a state is required to include in its primacy package to U.S. EPA how a PWS will be required to demonstrate cross-connection control. (40 C.F.R. section 142.16(q))
5 For requirements unrelated to cross-connection control, please consult California’s laws and regulations specific to the topic of interest. California may have more stringent requirements (e.g., reduced monitoring allowed via federal regulations may be prohibited in California).

Agenda Item No. 6
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Carlo Nafarrete, Public Works Supervisor
AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Budget Allocation for Sidewalk Condition Repairs RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize a budget allocation in the amount not-to-exceed $100,000.00 for Sidewalk Assessment and Repairs to the existing maintenance contract with Precision Concrete Cutting.
SUMMARY:
On May 2, 2023, the City Council awarded a Five-Year Maintenance Contract to Precision Concrete Cutting for sidewalk condition repairs for Fiscal Years 2023-28. Since 2023, Precision has successfully assessed, cut, and profiled trip hazards in several areas of the City in recent years, including Zones 5 and 6, as well as along all arterial streets and the Edison right-of way.
The proposed sidewalk trip hazard assessment and repairs includes prioritizing Zone 4, to compliment the upcoming Zone 4 Residential Slurry Seal Project this summer, as well as Zones 1 and 2. Should funds remain after the completion of Zones 4, 1, and 2, repairs will then extend into Zone 3 up to the extent of the budgeted project funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is adequate funding in the FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan under the Broken/Settled Curb & Gutter account (035-900-8140-00000).

PROGRAM
Scope of Work Summary: City of La Palma Sidewalk Assessment and Repair Project Objective: Precision Concrete Cutting will assess and repair sidewalk trip hazards in the City of La Palma, adhering to the budget and following the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) recommended approach.
Approach:
• We will conduct a assessment of the city’s sidewalks, building on past efforts where we assessed and repaired Zone 6 and select major streets tied to prior projects.
• For this year, we will prioritize assessments and repairs in the following order: Zone 4, Zone 1, Zone 2, and potentially Zone 3, if budget allows.
• Utilizing CJPIA pricing, the cost is bundled with sidewalk repairs, enabling us to monitor expenses in real-time as assessments progress.
Execution:
• We will begin with Zone 4, proceeding to Zone 1 and Zone 2, tracking sidewalk conditions and repair costs to ensure we remain within budget.
• If assessments indicate sidewalks are in good condition and funds remain, we will extend repairs into Zone 3. • We anticipate completing Zones 4,1,2 while staying under budget, with the flexibility to adjust based on findings and available resources.
Goal: Deliver a safe, ADA-compliant sidewalk network by efficiently targeting priority zones, leveraging past work, and maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Agenda Item No. 7 April 1, 2025 | 1
City of La Palma
Agenda Item No. 7
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Belinda Deines, Community Development Manager AGENDA TITLE: Authorize a Landscape Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans for SR-91 Right-of-Way at Walker Street (Digital Display Billboard at 6951 Walker Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the execution of a Landscape Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation for the maintenance of landscape and irrigation for a portion of SR-91 Freeway Right-of-Way at Walker Street (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS:
On December 12, 2023, the City Council approved a double-sided digital display billboard to be located on a portion of real property at 6951 Walker Street (APN 276-071-11). Pursuant to Resolution 2023-46 for Conditional Use Permit 390, Condition #8 states that prior to commencement of construction of the Digital Display Billboard, the Applicant shall obtain all required permits and approvals, including, but not limited to, securing a permit from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and any encroachment permits as deemed necessary. The Applicant, Outfront Foster Interstate, proposes a similar landscape project that was completed in 2017 to increase visibility for the City's existing billboards and enhance the landscape frontage within the Caltrans public right-of-way.
To facilitate the Caltrans permit process, City staff submitted an encroachment permit application (Attachment 3) on behalf of Outfront Foster Interstate. On July 15, 2024, Caltrans noted that a Landscape Maintenance Agreement (LMA) between the City of La Palma and Caltrans is required (Attachment 4). In the previous landscape project from 2017, Caltrans did not require an LMA for the work. Following receipt of the denial letter, City staff met and discussed regularly with Caltrans staff to evaluate the scope of work and whether the LMA requirement could be waived with an alternative utilizing Adopt-a-Highway guidelines. Ultimately, Caltrans staff determined that the LMA is required.
A separate agreement between the City of La Palma and Outfront Foster Interstate will be executed for the removal and installation of landscaping and irrigation along the westbound SR-91 between Post Mile R0.15 to R0.49, on both sides of Walker Street as shown on Exhibit A of the draft LMA (Attachment 2). Maintenance responsibilities include inspection, repair, and replacement of
Agenda Item No. 7 April 1, 2025 | 2
landscape and irrigation components. The City shall ensure that landscaped areas are provided with the routine maintenance necessary to sustain the conditions of the improvements for the life of the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact from executing the agreement. All costs associated with the removal, installation, and maintenance tasks outlined in the agreement will be borne by the Applicant.

RE: Statement of Self Insurance for CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Related to Project Specific Maintenance Agreement with State of California Department of Transportation (“STATE”) for the maintenance of the removal, abatement, and replacement of trees along Highway 91 at PM 0.28.
Dear Sarah Rodriguez
The purpose of this letter is to certify that the CITY is self-insured and self-funded covering third-party claims arising out of its general operations (for example, commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance). Further the CITY is self-insured covering workers’ compensation claims and has received the consent of the State Department of Industrial Relations to do so.
Each fiscal year, as a part of its budgetary process, the CITY appropriates funds specifically to satisfy valid third-party claims and workers’ compensation claims, which may be brought against the CITY.
The CITY certifies its self-insured, general liability coverage for bodily injury liability and property damage liability, meets the required coverage amounts in section
6.1 (INSURANCE) of the Maintenance Agreement, specifically general liability insurance, coverage of bodily injury liability and property damage liability in an amount of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in aggregate and $5 million in excess. The CITY further represents that regarding any claims made in connection with the Maintenance Agreement by the STATE, the STATE will be first-in-line regarding the reserved, self-insured amounts.
If you need any additional information regarding this letter, please direct those inquires through my office.
Sincerely,
FINANCE MANAGER

A final accounting of the Administrative Costs will be made following the resolution of the appeal. At that time the balance of your deposit will be returned, or you will be notified of any additional costs that may be owed. You must pay your share of the Administrative Costs regardless of whether your appeal is successful or not.
The Administrative Costs of the appeal process will begin accruing on the date your complete appeal package is received by the Departments Director and will stop accruing after the final decision on the appeal is served by the Department.
