Dear Mayor Caskey,
Many of our Orange County neighbors experience food and nutritional insecurity on a regular basis. The high cost of living here in Orange County causes many working families to still struggle to put food on the table.

Hunger Action Month is a national effort to raise awareness of the levels of food and nutritional insecurity in our communities and to inspire the public to take action. We appreciate your consideration to recognize and designate September as Hunger Action Month (HAM) in Laguna Hills. We have included a sample proclamation template for your city staff, if helpful.

If you are able to recognize Hunger Action Month in the city of Laguna Hills, we would welcome the opportunity for a member of the OC Hunger Alliance to come to council for the recognition and to say a few short words highlighting the occasion.

Thank you for your continued support of hunger issues here in Orange County.

On behalf of the OC Hunger Alliance,
Mark Lowry Mike Learakos
Director, Orange County Food Bank CEO, Abound Food Care

Claudia Bonilla Keller
CEO, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County

City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning
Agency
Staff Report
Date: September 8, 2026
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Authority to Advertise for Construction, FY 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement Project, CIP 170 Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the FY 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement Project, CIP 170; 2. Authorize the advertisement for bids for FY 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement Project, CIP 170; 3. Authorize the City Engineer to make minor edits to the plans and specifications as necessary prior to bidding; and 4. Find that environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption - “Existing Facilities." Background:

As part of City staff’s ongoing effort to identify and apply for grant funding for infrastructure improvements, on December 4, 2025, City staff submitted an application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to the County of Orange during its latest call for Public Facilities and Improvements Funding Applications. City staff submitted a project for approximately 80 curb ramp replacements at selected intersections bounded by Avenida de la Carlota, Lake Forest Drive, Santa Vittoria Drive, and Ridge Route Drive.

In November 2025, the County of Orange, Community Resources Department, announced a call for fiscal year 2026/2027 Public Facilities and Improvements project applications under the County’s Urban County Program funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding available under the Urban County Program primarily comes from CDBG funds.

Item No. 4.4
The Orange County Urban County Program is comprised of twelve (12) cities with populations under 50,000 (participating cities), two (2) cities, Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations over 50,000 (metropolitan cities) and unincorporated areas of Orange County. The twelve (12) participating cities include Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, and Villa Park. These cities are not eligible to receive Community Planning and Development (“CPD”) program funds directly from HUD and have opted to participate in the CPD programs through the Urban County Program. The cities of Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations of over 50,000, are eligible to participate in the CPD program as an entitlement jurisdiction and have elected to join with the Urban County Program as a metropolitan city.

The fiscal year 2026/2027 Public Facilities and Improvements maximum funding amount with no match was $250,000, or with a 20% match was $450,000. Only one application may be submitted by each participating city. Non-profit organizations may also participate in the Urban County Program, but must be sponsored by a city and the city must submit the application.

Project applications must address “high priority” Public Facilities and Improvements. For this project call, high priority projects are, in order of preference, as follows:

1. Senior Centers

2. Homeless Facilities

3. Neighborhood Facilities

4. Water/Sewer Improvements

5. Street Improvements

6. Sidewalk Improvements

7. “Urgent Need”
Furthermore, the population to be served by the project must principally be low to moderate-income as defined by HUD. Low to moderate-income populations include census tracts that are classified by the United States Census Bureau as having a median household income (in 2022 dollars based on 2020 American Community Survey data) below the median for the area.

For this call for projects, City staff researched the United States Census Bureau’s latest data and found several low to moderate-income census tracts in Laguna Hills where 51% or more of the residential neighborhood consist of low to moderate-income persons. Two such census tract locations are bounded by Avenida de la Carlota, Lake Forest Drive, Santa Vittoria Drive, and Ridge Route Drive.

Item No. 4.4
Therefore, given the information available and funding rules, City staff submitted a project for approximately 80 curb ramp replacements at intersections bounded by Avenida de la Carlota, Lake Forest Drive, Santa Vittoria Drive, and Ridge Route Drive with a total value of $250,000. The application was successful.

However, the County only awarded $195,121 to the City due to a subsequent reduction in grant funding from HUD. Correspondingly, the City reduced the scope of work of the project to 63 ramp locations to match the reduced grant funding amount allocated to the project. In the capital improvement program budget for fiscal years 2025/26 - 2026/27, City staff budgeted $250,000 for construction of this project as part of CIP 170, and an additional $50,000 for design efforts using general funds.

After award of the CDBG grant, City staff engaged one of the City's on-call civil engineering consultants, Tait & Associates, to design the FY26/27 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Replacement Project, CIP 170. City staff and Tait & Associates have been working diligently to prepare the plans because the County has a construction contract award deadline of November 15, 2026.

This project is now ready for advertisement for bids. Correspondingly, City staff recommend the City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize the advertisement for bids for the FY26/27 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Replacement Project, CIP 170.

Fiscal Impact:

The biennial capital improvement program budget for fiscal years 2025/26 - 2026/27 has $250,000 allocated in CDBG funds for construction and $50,000 allocated in general funds for design services. Currently, the engineer's cost estimate projects that sufficient funding exists for this project.

AWARD OF CONTRACT: The City reserves the right after opening bids to reject any or all bids, to waive any informality (non-responsiveness) in a bid, or to make award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, and reject all other bids, as it may best serve the interest of the City. Within three (3) business days of bid opening, contractor must submit a revised bid bond with numerical dollar values, both in words and with digits of bid amount. Within five (5) working days after the date of the Notice of Apparent Low Bidder, the successful bidder will be required to submit required Contract Agreement and Insurance.

Proposals may not be withdrawn after the bid opening without forfeiture of the proposal guarantee, except as authorized by state law. .

7. NONRESPONSIVE PROPOSALS
Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to a proposal will render it nonresponsive and may cause its rejection.

14. PREVAILING WAGE RATES
The wage rates applicable to this Project are the State of California Department of Industrial Relations prevailing rates of per diem wages and the U.S. Davis-Bacon Wage Rates for Federally-Funded Projects. Not less than higher of the State or Federal prevailing wage rates shall be paid for work on this Project.

In accordance with the provisions of Sections 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, copies of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the State Director of Industrial Relations are available at City Hall, which shall be made available to any interested party upon request, or on the Internet at the State Department of Industrial Relations website (www.dir.ca.gov) under Statistics and Research.

It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor to whom the Contract is awarded and upon any subcontractor to pay not less than said specified rates to all workers employed by them in the execution of the Contract. A copy of said rates shall be posted at each job site during the course of construction. The Contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with all provisions of the California Labor Code relating to prevailing wage rates, including Sections 1770–1781.

It is not a violation of Labor Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Contractor and its subcontractors shall maintain active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations for the duration of the Project.

A contractor or subcontractor will not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to Section 6109 of the public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project if the contractor or subcontractor is ineligible to perform work pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.

1774061.2 IB-5 LH 6909-01/2023
The CITY will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate or the Federal Minimum Wage Rate (whichever is greater) as set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the bidder in determining his bid, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the CITY on the Contract.

The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Section 1777.6 of the Labor Code which stipulates that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices on any public works on any basis listed in Government Code Section 12940(a), as those bases are defined in Government Code Sections 12926 and 12926.1, except as provided in Labor Code Section 3077 and Government Code Section 12940.

15. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CERTIFICATE
Section 3700 of the Labor Code requires that every employer shall secure the payment compensation by either being insured against liability to pay compensation with one or more insurers or by securing a certificate of consent to self-insure from the State Director of Industrial Relations.

In accordance with this section and with Section 1861 of the Labor Code, the Contractor shall sign a Compensation Insurance Certificate which is included with the Contract Agreement, and submit same to CITY along with the other required Contract Documents, prior to performing any work. Reimbursement for this requirement shall be considered as included in the various items of work.

16. CLAYTON ACT AND CARTWRIGHT ACT
In accordance with Section 7103.5 of the Public Contract Code, in entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the Contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to CITY all rights, and interest in and all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C.

Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the Contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

17. SUBLETTING AND SUBCONTRACTING.

Pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (commencing with Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code), bidders are required to list in their proposal the name business address, California contractor license number, and public works contractor registration number issued pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a subcontractor who specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications in excess of 1/2 of 1% of this prime Contractor's total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater. If a subcontractor’s California contractor license number or public works contractor registration number are submitted incorrectly in the bid, it will not be grounds for filing a bid

1774061.2 IB-6 LH 6909-01/2023
protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive if the corrected subcontractor’s California contractor license number is submitted to CITY within 24 hours after the bid opening If the bidder fails to list a subcontractor for a portion of work or if the bidder lists more than one subcontractor of the same portion of work in excess of 1/2 of 1% of the total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater, the bidder agrees that it is fully qualified to perform that portion of work itself, and that the bidder shall perform that portion of work itself. If after award of the contract, the bidder actually subcontracts that portion of work, except as provided in Public Contract Code Section 4107 or 4109, the bidder shall be subject to the penalties listed in Section 4111 of the Public Contract Code. It is the CITY's intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act to apply to all phases of the work.

18. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
In conformance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, which is incorporated herein by this reference, the Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the CITY to ensure performance under the Contract or, in the alternative, may request payment of retention earned directly to an escrow agent.

At the request and expense of the Contractor, the Contractor has the option to deposit securities, which have been approved by the CITY, with a State or Federally chartered bank as the escrow agent or require the City to deposit 5% of each progress payment with the escrow agent. Said securities will be used as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the CITY, pursuant to the construction contract. Said securities shall have no obligation to any other construction contract for substitution of securities in lieu of retention.

When the Contractor deposits the CITY approved securities with the escrow agent, the escrow agent shall notify the CITY within 10 calendar days of the deposit. Said securities shall be evaluated quarterly by the escrow agent to verify the current market value. If the current market value of said securities falls below the required amount, the escrow agent shall notify the Contractor and require additional securities and/or cash to be submitted for CITY approval, and be held in the escrow account to meet the Contractor's obligations. The escrow agent shall hold said securities until such time as the escrow agent receives written notification from the CITY that the Contractor has satisfactorily completed his Contract obligations.

The type of securities deposited and the method of release shall be approved by the City Attorney's office.

If the Contractor chooses not to exercise its rights under Public Contract Code Section 22300, the full five percent (5%) retention will be deducted from all payments. The final retention will be authorized for payment thirty-five (35) days after the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion, if no stop notices have been filed. The CITY may withhold from release of the final retention amounts authorized under Public Contracts Code Section 7107 and/or 125% of amounts identified in any Stop Notices received by the CITY.

19. BID DOCUMENT/PROPOSAL EDITS
No Proposer shall modify, edit, interlineate or change any portion of the Bid Proposal pages without the Agency’s written issuance of a formal Addenda. Any Proposer that modifies, edits, interlineates or changes the Bid Proposal sheets with unauthorized changes shall be deemed to be a non-responsive Bidder.

1774061.2 IB-7 LH 6909-01/2023

20. BUY AMERICA REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with said law and regulations, all manufacturing processes for steel and iron materials furnished for incorporation into the work on this project shall occur in the United States; with the exception that pig iron and processed, pelletized and reduced iron ore manufactured outside of the United States may be used in the domestic manufacturing process for such steel and iron materials. The application of coatings, such as epoxy coating, galvanizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or enhances the value of such steel or iron materials shall be considered a manufacturing process subject to the “Buy America” requirements.

A Certificate of Compliance, conforming to the provisions in Section 6-1.07, “Certificates of Compliance,” of the Standard Specifications, shall be furnished for steel and iron materials.

The certificates, in addition to certifying that the materials comply with the specifications, shall also specifically certify that all manufacturing processes for the materials occurred in the United States, except for the exceptions allowed herein.

The requirements imposed by said law and regulations to do not prevent a minimal use of foreign steel and iron materials if the total combined cost of such materials used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the total contract cost or $2,500, whichever is greater. The Contractor shall furnish the City with acceptable documentation of the quantity and value of any foreign steel and iron prior to incorporating such materials into the work.

Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Contractor agrees to fully comply with all applicable federal and state labor laws (including, without limitation, if applicable, the Prevailing Wage Laws). It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with the work provided pursuant to the Agreement, Contractor shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law, and Contractor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement.

Contractor understands and agrees to comply with the following California Labor Code compliance conditions [Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq., 1813, 1860, 1861, 3700]:
a) The Agreement is subject to the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code relating to public works and the awarding public agency (“City”) and Contractor agree to be bound by all the provisions thereof as though set forth in full herein.

A copy of said rates shall be posted at each job site during the term of this Agreement.
d) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.4, Contractor’s services are subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall post job site notices as prescribed by DIR regulations and furnish the records specified in California Labor Code Section 1776 directly to the Labor Commissioner in the manner prescribed by California Labor Code Section 1771.4(a)(3) and (c)(2). e) Eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day’s work for all workmen employed in the execution of this Agreement, and the Contractor and any subcontractor shall comply with and be governed by the laws of the State of California having to do with working hours set forth in Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the California Labor Code. Contractor shall comply with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1813 concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours.

f) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.1, Contractor and any subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the California Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.2. It is not a violation of California Labor Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by California Business and Professions Code Section 7029.1 or by California Public Contract Code Section 10164 or 20103.5, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. Contractor shall not perform any work under this Agreement with any subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on the public works project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the California Labor Code.

Apprentices
Section 1777.5 requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to an applicable apprenticeship committee that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Contract.

The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if he employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

1774061.2 GS-6 LH 6909-01/2023

RESOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION CLAIMS
California Public Contract Code (PCC) section 9204 as adopted by Assembly Bill 626 prescribes a process to present, confer, and mediate all construction claims relating to the City’s public works project.
“Public works project” means the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or another public improvement of any kind. “Claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested for (A) a time extension, including, without limitation for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by a public entity under a contract for a public works project (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the contract for a public works project and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled, or the amount the payment of which is disputed by the local agency. (PCC 9204(c)(1)) For any claim subject to this article, PCC section 9204 requires the following:
a) The claim shall be submitted by the Contractor in writing, sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested and must include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided by contract for the filing of claims. However, upon receipt of a claim, the City, and the Contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided by statute.
b) For claims of all amounts, the City shall respond within 45 days of receipt of the claim, and provide the claimant a written statement identifying which portion of the claim is disputed and which portion of the claim is undisputed. If the City requires approval from the City Council, and the City Council does not meet within the 45-day period to respond, the City shall have up to three days to issue its response following the City Council meeting. c) For all portions of a claim determined to be undisputed, the City must process payment to the claimant within 60 days of issuing the City’s written determination. d) If the claimant disputes the City’s response, or if the City fails to respond within the time limits provided, the claimant may demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. The demand must be sent in writing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon receipt of a demand, the City must schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the disputed claim. e) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the claimant an addition written statement identifying the portion of the claim that is undisputed and the portion that remains in dispute.
f) For all portions of a claim determined to be undisputed, the City must process payment to the claimant within 60 days of issuing the City’s written determination. g) Any remaining undisputed portion of the claim, as identified by the Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation in which the parties share the cost evenly. The City and the claimant shall mutually agree on a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall jointly select a qualified, neutral third party to mediate the remaining undisputed claim. Each party shall bear the respective costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is

1774061.2 GS-7 LH 6909-01/2023
unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside of PCC section 9204.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the Contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under PCC Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

PCC Section 9204 does not preclude the City from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.

Should the City fail to respond to a claim, or fail to issue written statements as required, the Contractor’s claim is deemed denied. A claim denied by reason of the City’s failure to respond shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.

Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by PCC 9204 shall bear interest at seven percent per annum.

NOTICE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS
In accordance with PCC Section 9201, the City will provide timely notification to Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to the Agreement. The Contractor agrees to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notice.

CLAYTON ACT AND CARTWRIGHT ACT
In accordance with Section 7103.5 of the Public Contract Code, in entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the awarding body all rights, and interest in and all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.
