ADJOURNMENTS
In Memory of Karl Bauer - Karl was a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving honorably from 1966 to 1968. Although his official assignment was in bridge construction, his aptitude and interest led him to take on responsibilities as a radio operator. From 1980 to 1985, he further demonstrated his commitment to public service as a volunteer deputy. In 1976, he settled in San Dimas, California, where he raised his family and became an active member of the community.

In 2012, Mr. Bauer joined Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 12034, where he devoted himself to supporting fellow veterans. He was especially known for ensuring that new members received guidance and assistance, a commitment he upheld until the final month of his life. Outside his service and community involvement, his personal interests included golfing, woodworking, and working on automobiles.

The City Council extends its deepest condolences to the Bauer family and honors Karl Bauer’s life of service, dedication, and lasting impact on his community.

In Memory of Deputy Levi Vargas - Deputy Levi Vargas of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tragically passed away on March 28, 2026, after suffering a medical emergency while participating in the annual Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay. He was 30 years old and an 11- year veteran of the Department, most recently assigned to the San Dimas Station. Deputy Vargas was widely respected for his professionalism, compassion, and unwavering commitment to serving his community.

The City Council extends its deepest condolences to the Vargas family, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and all who knew and served alongside him. His service, character, and sacrifice will be remembered with honor and gratitude.

In Memory of Mark Putnam - Mark Ronald Putnam (Bonita High School Class of 1969) passed away peacefully at home on March 24, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was 74 years old. Known to many as Ronnie, he grew up in San Dimas and later made his home in La Verne. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, with a posting in Germany. Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Shirlene Davis Putnam (BHS Class of 1969); his daughter and son-in-law; two granddaughters and a grandson-in- law; and one great-granddaughter.

The community mourns the loss of a fellow Bearcat and extends heartfelt condolences to the Putnam family during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report

DATE: May 4, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Danny Wu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TIGER

EYE ENGINEERING LLC FOR CITYWIDE PAVEMENT CONDITION
EVALUATION AND PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE.

SUMMARY
The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a qualified consultant to perform a citywide pavement condition assessment and update the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP), including data collection, analysis, and development of a prioritized maintenance program and five-year financial plan. Following a competitive selection process, Tiger Eye Engineering LLC was identified as the most qualified firm based on their experience, technical approach, and overall value, and staff recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to complete this work.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Tiger Eye Engineering LLC for Citywide Pavement Condition Evaluation and Pavement Management Program update services, for $156,516, with additional authorization to approve amendments not to exceed 20% of the original contract amount, for a total possible cost of $187,818.

DISCUSSION
Maintaining an updated Pavement Management Program (PMP) is necessary to remain eligible for SB 1 and Metro Local Return funding and to support performance-based project selection.

Senate Bill 1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account) and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Local Return programs, including Proposition C, Measure R, and Measure M, require agencies to maintain and utilize current pavement condition data to guide project selection, demonstrate asset performance and useful life, and meet ongoing reporting and accountability requirements.

The Pavement Management Program (PMP) is a critical planning tool used to guide the maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s roadway network. The PMP update includes an assessment of current pavement conditions, forecasts future deterioration, and evaluates funding scenarios to inform cost-effective maintenance strategies. The PMP is typically updated on a triennial basis and incorporates field inspections to support long-term pavement preservation. This effort supports the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal of Resilient Infrastructure, as it will serve as the foundation for prioritizing street projects within the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

The City is responsible for the operation, repair, and maintenance of approximately 220 lane miles of roadways, including arterials, collectors, and local streets, as well as approximately 20 lane miles of public alleyways. The City last updated its Pavement Management Program (PMP) in 2023. The PMP requires the City to maintain a comprehensive inventory of its roadway network, identify segments in need of rehabilitation or replacement, and develop associated cost estimates.

Pavement condition is evaluated using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which rates pavement on a scale of 0 to 100, where 86–100 is Very Good, 75–85 is Good, 60–74 is Fair, 41–59 is Poor, and 0–40 is Very Poor. Maintaining current pavement condition data enables the City to prioritize roadway improvements based on objective criteria, maximize the effectiveness of limited funding, and ensure continued eligibility for state and regional funding sources.

On October 27, 2025, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Pavement Condition Evaluation and Pavement Management Program Update was formally issued on the City’s electronic bidding platform, PlanetBids. A total of four (4) proposals were submitted in response to the City's RFP. City staff conducted a thorough evaluation of these proposals based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, including qualifications and experience, thoroughness and understanding of the project, PCI comparability, communications, timeline/methodology, and cost (see Table 1).

The evaluation process followed a consistent scoring rubric aligned with the weighted criteria established in the RFP. Following the review of written proposals, all four firms were invited to participate in in-person interviews held on February 10, 2026, where an evaluation panel, consisting of two Public Works staff and the City Engineer, had the opportunity to further assess each firm's approach, qualifications, and ability to meet the City's needs.

All proposals met minimum qualifications and were evaluated by qualified subject matter experts. Cost proposals were reviewed as part of the overall evaluation to ensure the focus during interviews remained on qualifications and suitability for the contract.

The total score for each proposer was calculated by averaging the panelists’ scores across all

evaluation criteria and applying the established weighting (see Table 2). Based on this process, Tiger Eye Engineering LLC received the highest composite score and was determined to be the most qualified and responsive proposer. The firm demonstrated strong qualifications, a clear understanding of the project scope, and a comprehensive approach to quality assurance and data accuracy. Their methodology, schedule, and cost proposal of $156,516 were evaluated as providing the best overall value to the City, particularly given the use of advanced data collection technologies and the long-term benefits to pavement management and investment decision-making.

All proposers were evaluated using the criteria and weighting established in the RFP, and no protests were received. Therefore, staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to Tiger Eye Engineering LLC, based on their top-ranking proposal and proven ability to meet the City's needs. The selection process was conducted in accordance with the RFP criteria, with all necessary due diligence performed to ensure fairness and transparency.

The scope of work includes assessment of arterial, collector, and local streets, as well as alleyways and a sidewalk conditions assessment; network segmentation and Pavement Condition Index updates; maintenance and rehabilitation strategy recommendations; forecasted maintenance planning; and pavement software support. New to this year's PMP update is the inclusion of pavement roughness index, structural analysis, use of Lidar and Artificial Intelligence-based detection technology, and a sidewalk conditions assessments, which were not conducted as part of past PMP updates. The consultant anticipates completing the report in 6-8 months from issuance of Notice to Proceed.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no impact to the General Fund. Sufficient funding for the PMP Update is included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget within the Annual Pavement Management Program (CIP No. ST-AN), which is funded with a combination of state Gas Tax, SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program, and Metro Measures R and M Local Return funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Information Collection), as the scope of work consists of data collection, condition assessment, and planning activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical impact on the environment.

City of La Verne
Pavement Condition Evaluation and Pavement Management Program Update – RFP OCTOBER 2025

4 Rev. 7-2024

SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION

A. BACKGROUND
The City of La Verne is located along the foothills of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. La Verne was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1906, is approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles, and has a population of over 32,000. The City maintains a council-manager form of government in which the City Council develops and establishes ordinances and policies in the best interest of its citizens.

The City owns and maintains an extensive transportation network that includes approximately 100 miles of roadways, 165 miles of sidewalks, and 100 miles of alleyways. Maintaining these assets is critical for safety, accessibility, and mobility. In order to preserve this infrastructure and make sound investment decisions, the City uses a Pavement Management Program (PMP) to track condition data, prioritize improvements, and identify funding strategies.

The current PMP requires an update to incorporate new condition assessments, reflect emerging needs such as sidewalk accessibility and alleyway performance, and provide a data-driven Þve-year plan. This effort will serve as an educational tool for decision- makers and the community, with updates presented to the Active Transportation & Infrastructure Commission and through a special City Council and community study session.

B. OBJECTIVE
The City of La Verne is seeking a qualiÞed Þrm to perform pavement, sidewalk, and alleyway condition assessments, update the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), and prepare a revised PMP with a prioritized Þve-year plan and Þnancial strategy. The work shall include Geographic Information System (GIS) data collection, predictive modeling, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), and support for public engagement.

The successful proposer will provide accurate data, transparent reporting, and practical strategies to optimize roadway and pedestrian infrastructure management, while ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and risk management requirements.

3.3 Tasks and Deliverables

3.3.1 Pavement, Sidewalk, and Alleyway Condition Surveys

3.3.1.1 Pavement and Alleyway Condition Surveys
Our automated, vehicle-based survey provides a variety of advantages over manual surveys and ensures higher clarity and accuracy of data. TEE utilizes multiple high-resolution cameras, including 360° imagery, to capture hyper-granular data and create a comprehensive picture of the roadway conditions with 100% coverage in a single route. A LiDAR array will provide 3D measurements of the surface geometry and enhance our assessment of all distresses, ensure a high-accurate assessment of rutting across the network, and provide an accurate location for every asset in the right-of-way.

This sensor array will capture the measurements necessary to locate, identify, and rate every distress present on the road network in accordance with the ASTM D6433 standard. The system can be easily mounted on a variety of vehicles, and no traffic control plans or lane closures are required for our survey. An efficient routing plan will be developed to measure each centerline mile and ensure that clear imagery is captured for the entire system.

8 Our sensor array has been
designed to gather all data
necessary to provide PCI ratings
according to ASTM D6433 for the
entire network. TEE’s PCI and IRI
rating methodology is summarized
in Section 3.4.3.

3.3.1.2 Sidewalk
Condition Surveys
To provide a comprehensive
assessment of sidewalk conditions,
including and assessment of
tripping hazards and slope/cross-
slope, TEE will collect continuous
video and data of the entire
sidewalk network via e-bike. Our
pavement imaging system includes
high-resolution downward facing cameras, a GPS unit,
and accelerometers to capture pavement roughness.

TEE also leverages a proprietary 3D reconstruction
approach that transforms standard video footage into
high-resolution three-dimensional models of sidewalk
infrastructure.

Our sidewalk assessment system enables automated
and simultaneous assessment of cross-slope,
running slope, trip hazards, and slab-level surface
defects, offering a comprehensive solution for
sidewalk condition monitoring. We can compute cross-
slope and running slope values across each segment,
allowing us to identify areas where slope conditions
may violate accessibility standards
or present mobility challenges. The
system also enables the detection
of trip hazards by identifying abrupt
vertical displacements between
adjacent slabs. These hazards are
automatically flagged when height
differences exceed standard safety
thresholds.

Additionally, each sidewalk slab
is digitally segmented for surface
defect detection, including cracking,
spalling, displacement, and warping.

By combining geometric and surface
analysis, we can evaluate structural
integrity and prioritize maintenance
at the slab level.

The figure below provides examples of the 3D models
produced using our proprietary method. These models
form the analytical foundation for a standardized
Sidewalk Condition Index (SCI) developed by our
team, which integrates slope compliance, trip hazard
frequency, and surface condition into a single score.

This index enables agencies to systematically compare
sidewalk conditions across locations and track changes
over time.

By replacing time-consuming manual assessments
with a scalable, image-based workflow, our solution
empowers pavement managers to make data-driven
decisions with greater speed, consistency, and spatial
coverage.

3.3.1.3 Structural Testing
Structural evaluation is a critical component of modern pavement management systems (PMS), enabling transportation agencies to assess the load-bearing capacity of pavement structures and identify latent subsurface deficiencies that are not evident through visual inspection alone.

The Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) remains the industry standard for non-destructive structural evaluation. It simulates the impact of wheel loads and records deflections at multiple offsets, allowing for in-depth analysis of each pavement layer.

The FWD testing enables agencies to identify issues in the subgrade, sub-base, and base layers, in addition to the surface layer, providing a comprehensive view of pavement health.

Historically, calculating structural indices requires accurate pavement layer thicknesses measurement obtained with coring or ground penetrating radar (GPR). To address this challenge, TEE has developed a proprietary tool called Smart Structural Measurement (SSMTM). This tool estimates effective structural number (SNeff) without requiring pavement thickness data, eliminating the need for GPR or coring. By accurately calculating SNeff, agencies gain insight into pavement structural capacity and can design pavement thickness for reconstruction or overlay.

Another critical application of structural testing is in optimizing pavement management decisions. The decision matrix below—originally proposed by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)—illustrates the importance of combining structural assessments with surface condition indices such as PCI (Pavement Condition Index) or PCR (Pavement Condition Rating).

10 Relying on surface condition alone can lead to suboptimal decisions. For instance, a PMS might recommend full reconstruction (RC) when the PCI is very low (e.g., near 0). However, structural testing might reveal that the pavement structure is still sound, and corrective maintenance (CM) would be sufficient.

By integrating both surface and structural evaluations, agencies can apply the right treatment at the right time in and the right location, fulfilling the promise of holistic pavement management.

Deflection testing is performed using an FWD, in accordance with ASTM D4694-09 (2020) standards for paved roadways. The TEE team can conduct a structural assessment of all designated roadways as part of the pavement condition survey. Deflection testing is usually completed at least once in each direction in every street segment (every 300 - 500 feet) along the outside lanes of the roadway. A series of geophones records deflection readings for each section of pavement tested. These readings are used to determine the pavement strength, load transfer capabilities, and identify properties of the base and sub-grade. By using this data-driven approach, maintenance and rehabilitation efforts are more accurately targeted, enhancing the overall efficiency of your pavement management program

Ideally, FWD testing should be conducted in the
right-most through lanes in each direction with 100%
coverage of the test network, at 500-foot intervals,
ensuring sufficient resolution for accuracy. FWD
testing will consist of 2 repeated loads, each at 9,000 lb, for all flexible pavement segments.

3.2.2 Data Collection and QA/QC
TEE performs daily checks during data collection to
verify that the collected imagery and measurements
are accurately cross-referenced with the existing
shapefile and will examine any significant discrepancy
between existing location or measurement data. Any
deviations that cannot be justified will be added to a
punch-list to be resurveyed. TEE’s Project Manager and Engineers will review raw and processed data to confirm that all data adheres to the City’s existing segment organization. In addition to database verification, TEE’s Engineers will perform frequent quality control and assurance checks throughout data collection and condition rating tasks.

Our Machine Learning (ML) models have been trained on the ASTM D6433 PCI distress types for concrete and asphalt, and we have the flexibility to incorporate additional distresses based on client requirements. Our AI has also been trained to classify non-ASTM road features to delineate those features from actual pavement distresses.

This includes manhole covers, utility caps, oil stains, leaves and other vegetation, etc.

By incorporating feedback from our pavement experts and the City, we guarantee that each stage of our analysis will produce extremely accurate ratings and deliverables. Below is an example of the local training tasks and workflow:

Image Review: Perform a 10% random sampling of images to evaluate detection accuracy and the calculated PCI, verified by TEE pavement engineers.

Reannotation: Reannotate images identified with false positives or false negatives using our annotation tool (CVAT) and TEE pavement engineers.

Model Retraining: Retrain the machine learning model with the updated annotations from TEE sample datasets (exclude CDOT data).

Inference Run: Apply the updated inference
models to the entire dataset.

Client Release: Deliver the processed data
to the client via the dashboard.

Client Feedback: Conduct a final review with
the client, and retrain the model if feedback
indicates dissatisfaction.

13 Figure 9: Deducted Values Curves and PCI Scales
Internation Roughness Index (IRI) ratings for the entire network can be calculated using TEE’s agile LiDAR system.

The solid‐state LiDAR, with its unique non‐repetitive scanning pattern, produces dense, high‐resolution point clouds while its integrated IMU continuously records platform motion. By synchronously feeding these raw laser returns and inertial measurements into a real‐time SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) pipeline, the system simultaneously registers successive scans into a globally consistent, motion‐compensated 3D map of the pavement surface. From this reconstructed local map, the longitudinal profile is automatically extracted along the wheel path by selecting the appropriate point clouds corresponding to the vehicle’s tire trajectories.

The extracted longitudinal profile is subsequently analyzed using a quarter‐car dynamic model, which incorporates both sprung and unsprung mass dynamics to emulate the pavement undulation measurements typically obtained by conventional profiling equipment. By evaluating the resulting displacement time series, the International Roughness Index (IRI) is directly derived from the LiDAR‐based point cloud data, providing a continuous, high‐resolution quantification of road smoothness without the need for traditional mechanical profilers. Tiger Eye’s accelerometer and machine learning system has been calibrated and validated against roughness captured by MoDOT’s Class 1 Inertial Profiler and meets the guidelines for ASTM E-950 Class 1. The system has been designed for accuracy at differing speeds and road classes. These ratings will be included in all final deliverables alongside the PCI ratings and distress imagery.

TEE will validate all data (consisting of our survey results and GIS updates combined with the existing data and work history from each network) to confirm adherence to the existing organization schema and ensure the immediate accessibility and usability of our condition indices, GIS layers, and visualization dashboards. Our data is system agnostic and is designed to be effortlessly leveraged by any GIS or asset management system, including MyRoads

3.3.4 Financial Planning and Risk Assessment
The primary objective of TEE’s pavement management planning is to deliver cost-effective maintenance and rehabilitation programs that make the best use of available resources while extending the overall service life of the roadway network. This is achieved through an optimization process that evaluates different treatment strategies, budgets, and timing scenarios to determine the most effective course of action.

14 TEE will leverage our decades of experience
in pavement materials testing and research to
produce highly-accurate PCI forecasts based
on an analysis of the historical and current
data. TEE will then collaborate with the City
to document all available treatment options
and cost estimates to develop a 5-year
maintenance and rehabilitation plan.

Our pavement management team will evaluate
multiple rehabilitation and maintenance
scenarios by considering current budgetary
constraints, network performance objectives,
and long-term investment goals. These scenarios will allow agencies to compare trade-offs between cost, performance, and risk, enabling them to select a strategy that maximizes roadway condition improvements while staying within financial limitations. Example scenarios include:
• Annual funding required to maintain current
pavement conditions.
• Annual funding required to maintain the current
network backlog.
• Minimum funding level required to avoid falling
below control PCI limit.
• Minimum funding level required to avoid falling
below control backlog limit.
• Future network performance predictions, including
the network average PCI and segment level PCI.
• Strategic rehabilitation and treatment
recommendations per current budget.

Ultimately, the condition ratings, unit costs, treatments, decision trees triggers, performance models, budget
scenarios, prioritization rules, and PCI targets will be seamlessly integrated into the City’s GIS system, MyRoads database, and PMP . By optimizing the City’s pavement management framework with hyper-granular data and advanced analytics, TEE will empower City staff to generate defensible work plans and prioritize maintenance investments based on field-validated performance insights.

As part of the PMP , TEE will prepare a comprehensive, multi-year Sidewalk & ADA Management Plan to guide maintenance, replacement, and accessibility improvements. The primary goal of sidewalk asset management is to deliver a systematic, cost-efficient program that enhances pedestrian safety, extends the service life of sidewalk infrastructure, and achieves ADA compliance in a practical, phased manner The analysis will be integrated into an asset management framework capable of storing condition data, deterioration models, and ADA compliance triggers, producing a prioritized multi-year capital improvement program. Using this structured approach, decision- makers can balance funding, safety, and compliance goals with confidence.

3.4 Cost Proposal

16 4.2 Relevant Project Experience Narratives

CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, HAWAII - ROAD AND

ASSET DATA COLLECTION
As a subconsultant to AECOM, TEE completed the data collection for a comprehensive pavement and asset assessment for 1,800 lane miles of City and County-owned roads across the island of Oahu, Hawaii. TEE’s automated data collection suite was used to capture high-resolution imagery (including continuous, 360° video), LiDAR surface geometry and rutting data, and other sensor data across the transportation infrastructure network (100% coverage).

The collected data was then processed through TEE’s industry-leading machine learning-based AI system, which identified the type, extent, and severity of over 40 distress types and computed the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) across the City and County’s pavement network.

The camera and sensor configuration of TEE’s automated data collection suite ensured that high-resolution imagery and accurate location data for all classes of assets were captured alongside the pavement condition data. TEE collected comprehensive data for all assets to ensure that condition data for all asset classes, including curb-and-gutter and ADA ramps across the entire network, can be extracted from the survey data. Once extracted, the asset inventories and condition indices will be integrated into all software systems and viewable alongside PCI and pavement distress imagery. Pavement and asset data was collected simultaneously, and the survey was completed ahead of schedule with a single data collection vehicle.

The condition and location data, including
high resolution images and 360⁰ imagery,
is currently being integrated into TEE’s data
visualization dashboard. Individual distress
identifications, superimposed on downward-
facing pavement imagery, will be viewable
by all stakeholders across the island via an
intuitive, web-based user interface. The data
will also be exported in Esri-based formats
to the City and County’s GIS and pavement
management systems. As the project
progresses, TEE’s hyper-granular data will
enable the City and County to develop a
highly optimized pavement management
plan with highly efficient repair-targeting and
resource allocation.

DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT
The City of Galesburg was seeking an assessment of its current pavement conditions and a forward-looking, strategic partner to enhance its decision- making capabilities, prioritize investments, and implement efficient maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Through this search, the City selected TEE to provide these services in partnership with Hanson Professional Services Inc.

The project is centered around the critical objectives of integrating with the City’s GIS with to achieve optimization using Hanson’s DOT™ across various City assets, with a focus on delivering a user-friendly, actionable pavement management system.

TEE’s pavement assessment was completed with high-resolution imagery capture (downward-facing and 360°), AI/machine learning based distress characterization (type/extent/severity, strictly following ASTM 6433), PCI determination via existing shape file sectioning, and picture-by-picture hyper- granular PCI rating. A custom instance of TEE’s visualization dashboard was created to host pavement, sidewalk, and asset evaluation assessment data in the same web-based platform. The sidewalk evaluation included high- resolution imagery captured via our e-bike w/tow cart fleet (downward-facing and 360°), AI/machine learning based distress characterization (type/extent/severity, strictly following ASTM 6433), PCI determination via existing shape file sectioning, and picture-by-picture hyper-granular PCI rating. Identification of tripping hazards and assessment of ADA ramps (detector presence and type, slopes, other geometrical data, and overall rating/compliance summary) was also completed with TEE’s AI-driven distress detection.

Asset extraction was completed by TEE
by processing the high-resolution imagery
capture from the pavement evaluation and
applying machine learning based asset
extraction, categorization, and geolocation.

A database of assets was created
and integrated into TEE’s visualization
dashboard with filtering, analytics, and
data export to GIS (Esri format) features.

With the PCI assessment and asset
inventory completed, the TEE and Hanson
team will work with the City to determine
their objectives for criticality, risk, socio-
economic factors, and level of service
goals to use in the scenario building and
produce four base case scenarios.

19 CITY OF PEORIA, IL - ROAD AND SIDEWALK DATA

COLLECTION AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
As a subconsultant, TEE completed field data collection using equipment suite captured high-resolution video and sensor data across the transportation infrastructure network
(100% coverage). The
collected data was
then processed through
TEE’s industry-leading
machine learning-
based AI system, which
identified the type,
extent, and severity of
over 40 distress types
and computed the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) across Peoria’s pavement network, following ASTM D6433 standards.

TEE’s e-bike fleet collected high resolution imagery of the sidewalk pavement system in the selected city sector. The collected data was analyzed with TEE’s sophisticated machine learning based AI and transferred into their data visualization dashboard. Individual distress identifications superimposed on downward-facing pavement imagery could then be viewed by all parties, along with 360° camera imagery. The data was exported in Esri-based formats to Decision Optimization Technology (DOT™) enabling a highly optimized pavement management plan with an extremely efficient allocation of resources.

Using DOT™ software, scenarios were prepared for the City’s residential streets pavement preservation 5-year program: preventative maintenance (PCI 70 and above), mill and overlay (PCI 50-70), and reconstruction (PCI under 50). Pavement preservation treatment methods included crack filling, seal coat and micro surfacing. Scenarios were prepared for each Council Districts for preventative maintenance. For the arterial street program, a 10-year plan was created. Arterial streets were classified as collectors and above. Treatment methods include mill and overlay,
reconstruction and micro-surfacing for preventative
maintenance. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and
crash data were used as part of the criticality criteria in the analysis process.

20 COUNTY OF MACON, IL - COUNTY ROAD PAVEMENT

CONDITION ASSESSMENT
In 2024, Tiger Eye Engineering completed a full pavement condition assessment for the County of Macon’s approximately 120 miles of county-maintained roadways. The primary goal of the survey was to create a comprehensive inventory and assessment of all County maintained roads while identifying critical repair and improvement targets. TEE’s Automated Data Collection Suite was mobilized to capture both downward-facing and 360-degree imagery across the entire network, delivering a complete picture of every feature and distress across the pavement. Routes surveyed wind turbine utility corridors, agricultural service areas, and the County trade show grounds. The video was processed with TEE’s AI-powered distress detection system to identify all surface defects and generate Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings in accordance with ASTM D6433.

TEE’s repair target identification factored in traffic patterns and use cases, as the network features both low-volume rural roads and event-heavy routes.

By geolocating every distress across the network and providing a segment- by-segment understanding of the network health, TEE’s PCI dataset and analysis will allow the County to prioritize repairs based on both condition and criticality. The PCI and processed images were
uploaded to a custom, web-based dashboard,
which allows the County to filter by distress or
PCI threshold, cross-linked to 360° imagery of
the entire network. This advanced visualization
and analytics dashboard will allow stakeholders
to quickly and easily generate insights and repair
targets.

The project deliverables included a full PCI
dataset, a priority repair list, and GIS-integrated
shapefiles compatible with the County’s asset
management tools. TEE’s accurate, hyper
granular data will enable the County to make
effective, data-driven maintenance decisions
across their agricultural, industrial, and
community-use corridors.

Agenda Report

DATE: May 4, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING MARCH 31, 2026.

SUMMARY
The Quarterly Treasurer’s Report provides an overview of the City’s cash and investment holdings as of March 31, 2026. The report confirms compliance with the City’s investment policy as set forth in Administrative Regulation Number 215, the Statement of Investment Policy, and the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the period ending March 31, 2026.

DISCUSSION
The attached Treasurer’s Report is provided to the City Council per the City of La Verne Administrative Regulation Number 215, Investment Policy, and as provided under the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646. GC 53646 provides that a quarterly report, or monthly if legislatively elected, to be submitted to the City Council detailing the City’s cash and investments, a statement of compliance with the Investment Policy, and confirmation of the City’s ability to meet pooled expenditure requirements for the next three months.

Pooled Cash and Investment Structure
The City holds cash and investments in a pooled cash account to efficiently manage and invest available funds. Rather than each fund maintaining separate bank and investment accounts, all cash is combined (or “pooled”) into a single treasury account.

This approach allows the City to:
• Maximize investment returns by investing larger combined balances. • Simplify cash management and reduce administrative costs. • Ensure liquidity to meet obligations across all funds.

At quarter-end, the City allocates interest and investment income back to each fund based on its proportionate share of the total cash balance in the pool, ensuring each fund receives its fair portion of earnings.

Portfolio Summary

Page 98 of 252 ends

Agenda Packet - May 4, 2026
Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the period ending March 31, 2026., Page 2

As of the reporting date, the City’s total cash and investments amount to $132,964,404, with a market value of $106,927,064. The significant variance between par value and market value is primarily due to agency securities, which have a par value of $48.95M but a market value of $24.72M. This variance reflects rising interest rates, which reduces the present value of future cash flows for fixed-income securities. Because these securities are held to maturity and not intended for sale, the unrealized losses have no impact on the portfolio’s realized returns or liquidity.

Investment Composition
The investment portfolio is structured to prioritize safety, liquidity, and yield and is divided into two primary categories:

On-Call Deposits:

Totaling $32,506,404, these funds are held in various checking accounts and liquid investment pools to ensure immediate availability. Notable balances include Local Agency Investment Fund ($14.70M) and LA IMPACT in Local Agency Investment Fund ($13.18M).

Investments:

This quarter consists of short-term investments totaling $3,058,000 in par value with a market value of $3,055,940 of U.S. Treasuries.

Long-term investments totaling $97,400,000 in par value with a market value of $71,364,719, these holdings include agency securities, U.S. Treasuries, municipal and corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABS), and certificates of deposit (CDs).

Agency securities, U.S. Treasuries, and corporate bonds form the largest components of the portfolio, with market values of $48.95M, $24.76M, and $21.43M respectively. Weighted average yields remain competitive, with many investments offering yields above 4%.

Investment Policy Compliance
The portfolio complies with all policy constraints related to credit quality, issuer limits, maturity limits, and sector allocations. The City Treasurer certifies that all investments conform to the current Investment Policy and applicable state regulations.

Conclusion
The City’s investment strategy remains prudent and diversified. The Treasurer’s Office continues to closely monitor interest rates and market trends to adjust the investment mix as necessary, while maintaining the primary objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield.

CITY TREASURER
I hereby certify that the investment activity for this reporting period conforms with the current investment policy as set forth in Resolution No. 24-67. Per govern
ment code requirements, there are adequate funds available to meet the City of La Verne's budgeted and actual expenditures for the next six months. *The variance between par and market value is primarily due to rising interest rates, which reduce the present value of future cash flows for fixed-income agency securities. As these securities are held to maturity and not intended for sale, the unrealized losses have no impact on the portfolio's realized returns or liquidity.

Agenda Report

DATE: May 4, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Danny Wu, Director of Public Works
Brando
n Coatney, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS WITH MARIPOSA LANDSCAPES, INC. AND BRIGHTVIEW LANDSCAPE
SERVICES, INC. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ANNUAL VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND FUEL HAZARD REDUCTION SERVICES.

SUMMARY
The City initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to select a qualified contractor for annual, comprehensive vegetation management and fuel hazard reduction services across 23 City-owned parcels within the Wildland Urban Interface. Following a competitive selection process, Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. is being recommended for award as the Primary Contractor, with BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. recommended as the Secondary Contractor, to be activated at the City's discretion.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreements with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. as the Primary Contractor in an amount not to exceed $198,504, and BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. as the Secondary Contractor in an amount not to exceed $219,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute any amendments within the approved budget.

DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne maintains 23 parcels within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) that require annual vegetation management and fuel hazard reduction services, better known as weed abatement and fuel modification, to mitigate fire risk and ensure compliance with applicable fire safety standards. These parcels are located in high-risk areas, where vegetation growth poses a significant fire hazard to adjacent properties, infrastructure, and the community.

Failure to complete vegetation management within the required seasonal window may expose the City to increased wildfire risk and potential regulatory compliance issues.

Historically, these services were managed solely by the Public Works Department and performed through a combination of in-house crews, County contracts, and piecemeal contracted services. While these efforts addressed immediate needs, the fragmented approach lacked consistency in both service standards and cost structure, and did not fully account for the increasingly stringent state requirements governing fuel hazard reduction in the WUI.

In FY 2025-26, in response to heightened state standards, the Fire Department and Public Works Department initiated a coordinated program to address vegetation management on these

parcels. This collaborative approach demonstrated the value of incorporating fire safety expertise into the oversight of these services and highlighted the need for a more structured, consolidated approach. Moving forward, the Fire Department will serve as the primary contract manager for these high-risk areas, ensuring ongoing compliance with state standards, while Public Works will continue to provide budgetary oversight and consultation. This consolidated contract represents a significant improvement over the previous approach, providing unified standards, clearer accountability, and greater cost efficiency.

On March 24, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Annual Vegetation Management and Fuel Hazard Reduction Services. The RFP was made available through PlanetBids, allowing for a competitive and transparent selection process. A mandatory site walk was held on April 2, 2026, to ensure all proposers had direct familiarity with the parcels and existing site conditions prior to submitting proposals. The scope of work included annual clearance of 23 City-owned parcels within the WUI, poison oak identification, treatment, and disposal, compliance with Fire Department performance standards, emergency response capabilities, and ongoing coordination with City staff. The RFP required proposers to submit a not-to-exceed (NTE) contract amount, an estimated cost per parcel, and hourly and per-acreage rates to establish a pricing basis in the event the City acquires additional land requiring service.

The intent is for the same parcels to be cleared annually, with provisions to add newly acquired parcels at negotiated unit rates. The agreement term will be for an initial term of one (1) year, with two (2) optional one-year extensions, exercised at the City's discretion. If approved, the contract is scheduled to commence May 5, 2026. Work assignments will be issued on a task order basis under the direction of the Fire Department as contract manager.

The RFP was structured to allow for the award of both a Primary and Secondary Contractor. This approach was intentional given the time-sensitive nature of fuel hazard reduction work within the WUI. Having a qualified secondary contractor under contract ensures continuity of service in the event the Primary Contractor encounters capacity constraints, weather delays, or other unforeseen conditions, particularly given regional demand for these services during peak fire season.

The City received five (5) proposals in response to the RFP. Following an initial responsiveness review, two proposals were deemed non-responsive and removed from consideration. One proposal was submitted as a cost proposal only and did not address the submittal elements of the RFP. A second proposal was disqualified due to lack of required elements and non- attendance at the mandatory site walk. The remaining three (3) responsive proposals were advanced to the interview stage.

The three responsive proposers were Brightview Landscape Services, Inc., Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., and Sustainable Mitigation. Proposals were evaluated by a Selection Committee in accordance with the criteria established in the RFP. Because this procurement was conducted as an RFP rather than a competitive bid, cost alone did not constitute the sole basis for selection. The evaluation criteria and weightings were as follows:

In-person interviews were conducted on April 22, 2026, by a three-member selection panel comprised of subject-matter experts with knowledge of vegetation management, fire safety, and WUI operations. Each proposer was evaluated on their demonstrated understanding of site- specific conditions observed during the mandatory site walk, their methodology and equipment, their approach to safety and compliance with Fire Department standards, and their ability to perform within the required treatment window, from May through the end of June. The evaluation process followed a consistent scoring rubric aligned with the weighted criteria established in the RFP. Cost proposals were reviewed separately after all interviews were completed to ensure the focus during interviews remained on qualifications and suitability for the contract.

BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. 65.79 2
Sustainable Mitigation 54.54 3

Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. received the highest composite score and is recommended for award as the Primary Contractor. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Southern California, Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. is an award-winning landscape services firm with extensive experience serving municipal clients throughout the region. The firm holds accreditation from the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and maintains licensed and certified landscape technicians, tree care supervisors, and pest control experts. Mariposa has previously performed work in the City of La Verne and demonstrated a strong familiarity with local site conditions.

During the evaluation process, the firm demonstrated a thorough understanding of the City's vegetation management and fuel hazard reduction objectives, a well-defined methodology for sequencing and completing parcels within the treatment window, company-owned equipment appropriate for WUI work, and a robust safety program.

BrightView Landscape Services, Inc., ranked second and is recommended as the Secondary Contractor, to be activated at the City's discretion should the Primary Contractor be unable to complete assigned work within the required treatment window. BrightView is one of the largest commercial landscape services companies in the nation, with extensive experience in fuel modification and WUI vegetation management. The firm's depth of resources and capacity to mobilize quickly makes them well-suited as a secondary contractor.

The RFP expressly provided for the award of both a Primary and Secondary Contractor. This dual-award structure ensures the City has a reliable backup resource in the event the Primary Contractor encounters workforce capacity constraints, weather delays, or other unforeseen circumstances that could jeopardize completion of work within the required treatment window, particularly given contractor demands around the region before the peak fire season. Given the life-safety implications of failing to complete clearance work on time, having a qualified secondary contractor on contract provides a critical safeguard for the City.

Staff recommends awarding contracts to Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. as the Primary Contractor and BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. as the Secondary Contractor based on their top- ranked proposals and demonstrated ability to meet the City’s operational and compliance needs.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The impact to the General Fund is estimated at no more than $57,000 and will require an appropriation. If approved, this appropriation will be included in the Quarter 3 budget update to amend the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26 Budget. Approximately $70,000 in reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), related to prior-year expenditures, was received but not included in the FY 2025–26 budget and will be used to offset the increased appropriation.

The City Council previously appropriated $130,000 in General Capital Improvement Funds in FY 2023–24 for the La Verne Wilderness Park – Oak Tree Fire Clearance Project (CIP No.

PK2302). These funds remain unexpended and are proposed to be reprogrammed for this effort. In addition, the Fire Department has secured a $32,000 grant from the California Fire Foundation, resulting in total available funding of up to $219,000.

The proposed contracts consists of a not-to-exceed amount of $198,504 for Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. (Primary Contractor) and $219,000 for BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. (Secondary Contractor), for the initial one-year term commencing May 5, 2026 with the option for two one-year extensions. The Secondary Contractor will serve as backup and only be activated if Mariposa is not able to mobilize sufficient workforce. and at the City's discretion, and total expenditures shall not exceed the available funding. The dual-contractor structure provides flexibility without obligating the City to expend the full contract amount. Funding is allocated as follows:

The City anticipates receiving grant funding in FY 2027-28 and beyond that will support continued funding of these services beyond the initial contract term, providing relief to the General Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed contract for vegetation management and fuel hazard reduction services is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations §15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) as a Class 4 Categorical Exemption, as the scope of work consists of minor alterations in the condition of land and vegetation. The activity involves routine vegetation maintenance and does not result in significant environmental disturbance. Additionally, Public Resources Code Section 21080.49, added by Senate Bill 131 in 2025, provides a CEQA statutory exemption for specific wildfire risk reduction, vegetation management, and home hardening projects.

LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed Agreement was approved as to form by the City Attorney. The procurement process was conducted in accordance with applicable City purchasing policies and procedures.
