Prepared by: Yu Tagai, City Engineer
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Approval of Parcel Map No. 39310 for Financing Purposes Recommendation
Approve Parcel Map No. 39310 for financing purposes, subject to the City Engineer's acceptance as being true and correct and authorize the City Clerk to sign the Parcel Map and arrange for its recordation.

Background
Tentative Parcel Map No. 39310, for Financing Purposes, was approved by the City Council on January 27, 2026. Parcel Map No. 39310 is located south of Sugarbush Lane and west of Cottonwood Canyon Road. The purpose of the map is to subdivide the existing 81.37-acre gross parcel into two parcels for financing purposes only. The proposed subdivision will create Parcel 1, consisting of approximately 35.63 gross acres, and Parcel 2, consisting of approximately 45.74 gross acres.

Parcel Map No. 39310 is a financing map intended to facilitate future financing and ownership of the property. Approval and recordation of the map do not authorize development or construction, and no public or private improvements are proposed or required as part of this action.

Pursuant to Section 66474.1 of the California Subdivision Map Act, the City Engineer has reviewed Parcel Map No. 39310 and determined that it is in substantial conformance with the approved Tentative Parcel Map. All applicable Conditions of Approval required prior to recordation of the Parcel Map have been satisfied. The Parcel Map is being processed solely for financing purposes and does not authorize development, construction, or the installation of public improvements. Any future development of the property will require separate discretionary approvals and permits, as applicable.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Yu Tagai, City Engineer
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers for Traffic Engineering Services to Evaluate the Alberhill Region
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Fehr & Peers for Traffic Engineering Services to Evaluate the Alberhill Region in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency of $5,000 for uncertainties and adjustments.

Background
The Alberhill region of the City consists of over a thousand acres of undeveloped land, active mining sites, and Lake Street and Nichols Road serving as main roadway corridors to Interstate

15. In anticipation for the rapid growth due to the development of Alberhill Villages, Alberhill Ridge and Murdoch Alberhill Ranch specific plans, road infrastructure needs must be addressed and determined for the expected traffic volume growth.

Discussion
Fehr & Peers has extensive knowledge of Western Riverside County and has supported the City with the City General Plan update, reviewing traffic analyses and traffic plans, and CIP project developments such as I-15 Central Interchange and Local Road Safety Plan. The study will evaluate critical intersections and roadway segments to assist the City with identifying the ultimate transportation system, timing of specific improvements when each development moves forward, and determination of allowable development prior to additional improvements to be constructed.

Fehr & Peers’ scope of work consists of the following:
• Task 1 – Synchro Network Development: Modify existing synchro network to evaluate at least 16 intersections and roadway segments between intersections using available ADT data.

Fehr & Peers Alberhill

Page 2 of 2 ends

• Task 2 – Volumes and Scenario Development: Utilize existing traffic studies to identify traffic volumes, assess area buildout scenario estimating ultimate improvements needed to serve proposed developments, assess 2050 analysis scenario for any additional improvements that regional growth may drive at study locations, and determine required improvements of each project, which will assess 14 separate scenarios. • Task 3 – Meeting and Additional Scenario Development: Development of a spreadsheet tool identifying improvements and its timing.
• Task 4 – Deliverables: Fehr & Peers will provide a summarization of the results and a spreadsheet tool for further scenario testing. The deliverable will identify which improvements are needed overall, which improvements needed to serve the project, and provide a tool for mixing and matching development assumptions during the phased development.

Fiscal Impact
The Professional Services Agreement will results in $50,000 plus an additional 10% contingency.

The project is included in the CIP program for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

b. Consultant shall maintain all documents and records which demonstrate performance under this Agreement for a minimum period of three (3) years, or for any longer period required by law, from the date of termination or completion of this Agreement. c. Any records or documents required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement shall be made available for inspection or audit, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Manager, City Attorney, City Auditor or a designated representative of these officers. Copies of such documents shall be provided to the City for inspection at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records shall be available at Consultant’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.
d. Where City has reason to believe that such records or documents may be lost or discarded due to dissolution, disbandment or termination of Consultant’s business, City may, by written request by any of the above-named officers, require that custody of the records be given to the City and that the records and documents be maintained in City Hall. Access to such records and documents shall be granted to any party authorized by Consultant, Consultant’s representatives, or Consultant’s successor-in-interest.

9. Independent Contractor.
a. Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent contractor pursuant to California Labor Code Section 3353. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under Consultant’s exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant’s officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, employees, or agents of the City. Consultant shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability whatsoever against City, or bind City in any manner. b. Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations to the contrary and except for the fees paid to Consultant as provided in the Agreement, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.

10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

11. Interests of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered

Page 5 ends

by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)

12. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant’s field of expertise.

13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Consultant shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Consultant and/or its employees, officers, or board members.
b. Consultant represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement all professional and/or business licenses, certifications and/or permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City business license.

14. Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.

15. Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of

Page 6 ends

law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

16. Insurance Requirements.
a. Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager, the following insurance policies.
i. Workers’ Compensation Coverage. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California. In addition, Consultant shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the City at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for City.

Each general liability and automobile liability insurance policy shall be with insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A:VII and shall be endorsed with the following specific language:
i. Notwithstanding any inconsistent statement in any required insurance policies or any subsequent endorsements attached thereto, the protection offered by all policies, except for Workers’ Compensation, shall bear an endorsement whereby it is provided that, the City and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers and agents and independent contractors, including without limitation, the City Manager and City Attorney, are named as additional insureds. Additional insureds shall be entitled to the full benefit of all insurance policies in the same manner and to the same extent as any other insureds and there shall be no limitation to the benefits conferred upon them other than policy limits to coverages.
ii. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by the City, including any self-insured retention the City may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. iii. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
iv. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees or agents. v.

Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the City on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the City at all times during the term of this Agreement.

18. Assignment and Subcontracting. The parties recognize that a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience and competence of Consultant and the subcontractors listed in Exhibit B. Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts or omissions of any subcontractors. Assignments of any or all rights, duties or obligations of the Consultant under this Agreement will be permitted only with the express consent of the City. Consultant shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed under this Agreement except as provided in Exhibit B without the written authorization of the City. If City consents to such subcontract, Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts or omissions of those subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the part of the City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor other than as otherwise is required by law.

19. Waiver. Waiver of a breach or default under this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this Agreement.

Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination.

24. Prevailing Wages. Consultant 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.

Consultant 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 or Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law, and Consultant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the City, and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

Lake Elsinore Alberhill Area Study
July 27, 2026
Yu Tagai, P.E.

City Engineer
City of Lake Elsinore
130 S Main Street
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Subject: Proposal to Traffic Engineering Services to Evaluate the Alberhill Area Dear Yu:

This proposal is in response to our conversation related to development in the Alberhill Area of the city.

Specifically, the image below shows a variety of projects located north of Riverside Drive and west/south of I-15 that will impact the circulation system.

The goal of our effort will be to evaluate critical intersections and roadway segments in this area to assist the city in identifying the following:
• What does the ultimate transportation system look like? Lake Elsinore Alberhill Area Study | 2
• What specific improvements does each of these developments trigger on their own and when is it triggered?
• For phased development, how much development can occur in general areas before additional improvements are required?
We have developed the following scope of work to help answer these questions.

Scope of Work
Task 1 – Synchro Network Development
Fehr & Peers already has a Synchro network for this area as part of our work on the Nichols Road interchange project which also evaluated the Lake interchange. We will modify our Synchro network by eliminating the Central Avenue interchange area and add intersections along Nichols, Baker, and Lake Street. Our ultimate study area will include the following intersections (assuming data is available from other recently completed studies):

1. Lake Street/Walker Canyon Road

2. Lake Street/I-15 Northbound Ramps

3. Lake Street/I-15 Southbound Ramps

4. Lake Street/Melody Lane

5. Lake Street/Temescal Canyon Road

6. Lake Street/Nichols Road

7. Lake Street/Alberhill Ranch Road

8. Lincoln Street/Temescal Canyon Road (Future Intersection)

9. Alberhill Ranch Road/Nichols Road

10. Terra Cotta Road/Nichols Road

11. Future Baker Street Connection/Nichols Road

12. Collier Avenue/Nichols Road

13. I-15 Southbound Ramps/Nichols Road

14. I-15 Northbound Ramps/Nichols Road

15. Bedrock Road/Nichols Road

16. Collier Avenue/Riverside Drive
We will also evaluate roadway segments between intersections using available ADT data, data collected for the general plan, Streetlight data (if downloaded from SCAG’s database prior to the data portal no longer being available), or a K factor applied to peak hour trips to estimate ADT.

We already have signal timings at many of these signalized locations. At any location where we do not have signal timings, we will reach out to the city or we will measure it in the field. We will spend one day in the field verifying lane configurations, traffic control devices and signal phasing.

Task 2 – Volumes and Scenario Development
There are approximately 14 distinct projects identified on the figure above. We will utilize the traffic studies prepared for those projects to identify the traffic volumes they will add to the existing volumes at the study intersections and study segments. If trip assignment volumes are not available from other studies or scoping documents, we will estimate trip generation, trip distribution and trip assignment to assist with this effort.

Lake Elsinore Alberhill Area Study | 3
Area Buildout Scenario
Our initial assessment will include estimating the ultimate improvements needed to serve the proposed development for each study roadway segment and study intersection. We will accomplish this by either incorporating each project into the RIVCOM travel demand forecasting model (to assist in identifying trips internal to the study area) or using the mixed-use trip generation method from ITE to estimate internalization with full buildout of the area. We will apply the internalization and reassign the volumes to the study facilities, add the final trip assignment, and develop recommendations for the roadway segment capacities needed in addition to the intersection improvements that would be needed.
2050 Analysis Scenario
The scenario above is to help understand what these projects need based on their traffic demands.

However, other planned growth in the region, in addition to the Nichols Road extension over to Highway 74, may require additional needs. As such, we will utilize the travel demand model to estimate any additional improvements that regional growth may drive at the study locations.

Individual Project Needs
We will also add traffic from each individual project onto the existing condition to determine what improvements each project requires. This will require 14 separate scenarios so we can isolate the needs generated by each project. We will also identify at what percentage of that project’s buildout (for projects that may have a phased delivery) triggers the specific improvements identified.

Task 3 – Meeting and Additional Scenario Development
We will attend an in-person meeting with city staff to discuss our results. The results will be presented in tabular format and through PowerPoint slides.

For improvements that are triggered by multiple projects or improvements that are more cumulative in nature, the timing of the improvements is more nuanced. In that instance, we will look at the major tuning movements at each improvement location, identify which projects account for the trip growth on those movements, and test some general volume growth within the Synchro and roadway segment assessment to identify how much volume is required before the improvement is triggered.

Assuming a reasonable number of improvement locations need this final step, we will build a spreadsheet tool where staff can plug in the number of trips generated by each phase of a project or combination of projects and estimate if that phase of the project triggers the identified improvement.

This will be a broad estimation process but will help identify the timing of needed improvements.

Task 4 - Deliverables
We are not anticipating a comprehensive deliverable report. Instead, we anticipating delivering a PowerPoint summarizing our results and a spreadsheet tool for the city to do scenario testing with.

We will prepare a brief write-up in the spreadsheet tool for people to understand how it is used.

Ultimately, our goal is to identify which improvements are needed overall, which improvements are needed to serve each project, and provide a tool for mixing and matching development assumptions in this area to understand which improvements get triggered during phased development.

Lake Elsinore Alberhill Area Study | 4
Fee Estimate and Schedule
The cost to complete this effort, assuming all data is available (e.g. no new data is required) is $50,000. We will complete this effort on a time-and-materials basis based on our current billing rates. We can complete Task 1 and Task 2 within six weeks of our receipt of a notice to proceed or a task order for our services. We can complete Task 3 and Task 4 four weeks after our meeting with the city – or roughly a ten-week schedule to complete the effort.

We look forward to our continued work with the City of Lake Elsinore. If you have any questions, please call me at 951-274-4800.

Sincerely,

FEHR & PEERS
Jason D. Pack, P.E.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Rick De Santiago, Public Works Manager
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Purchase of Two (2) Traffic Signal Bucket Trucks Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order with Altec Industries, Inc., for the purchase of two (2) Traffic Signal Bucket Trucks in an amount not to exceed $414,616.45 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency of $41,461 for unanticipated costs.

Background
The Public Works Department is expanding its operational responsibilities to include the maintenance and repair of overhead traffic signals, roadway signage, and street lighting throughout the City. These assets require specialized aerial equipment to safely reach elevated components such as signal heads, mast arms, illuminated street-name signs, and lighting fixtures.

As the department transitions to performing these functions in-house, reliable bucket trucks are essential for daily operations, emergency response, and scheduled maintenance.

Purchase of Two (2) Traffic Signal Bucket Trucks

Page 2 of 2 ends

Discussion
Staff recommends the purchase of the following two (2) traffic signal bucket trucks:
 Altec AT37G – a versatile, insulated telescopic aerial device suitable for routine signal maintenance, inspections, and elevated electrical work.  Cost: $196,359.95
 Altec AT41M – a higher-reach insulated aerial device designed for complex signal operations, large intersection equipment, and advanced electrical tasks requiring extended vertical and horizontal reach.
 Cost: $218,256.50
Both units will significantly enhance the department’s ability to perform elevated maintenance safely and efficiently, reduce downtime, and ensure timely responses to signal outages and repairs.

LEMC Section 3.08.070(c) provides that a “commodity or service can be obtained through a cooperative purchasing program devoted to local government procurement so long as the underlying procurement was made using bid procedures ....” The Altec AT37G and Altec AT41M Traffic Signal Bucket Trucks have been competitively bid and priced on Sourcewell, Contract No. 110421-ALT, which expires on 12/27/2026. Sourcewell, formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance is a service cooperative to provide programs and services to members in education and government. Sourcewell was established with the purpose of assisting members in meeting specific needs that are more efficiently delivered cooperatively than by an entity acting individually. Sourcewell follows the competitive contracting law process to solicit, evaluate, and award cooperative purchasing contracts for goods and services.

Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the City’s FY26-27 Internal Service Fund.
