MEETING DATE: 11/7/2023
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF THE 2024 CITY MEETING CALENDAR
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt the 2024 City Meeting Calendar.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council’s practice is to adopt a City meeting calendar annually. The calendar provides the public advance notice of the upcoming schedule of meetings. The calendar also assists staff with preparation of agendas for City Council, Commission, and Audit Committee meetings. The calendar assists staff in meeting the requirements of the Brown Act, while providing appropriate time for the City Council and public to review the agenda materials. The proposed calendar includes the dates designated by Resolution as City holidays and meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission, Community Services Commission, Traffic and Parking Commission, and the Audit Committee. The Traffic and Parking Commission meetings scheduled for January and September are moved to the second Monday of those months due to the New Year’s Day and Labor Day holidays.

Staff recommends the City Council confirm the cancellation of the first City Council meeting in August as it conflicts with the National Night Out event. In the event City Council action is required on any emergent item(s), the City Manager may call a Special Meeting of the City Council or reschedule a meeting as needed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is minimal fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

31 Economic Update
▪
▪
▪
Recent economic data continues to suggest positive but below trend growth this year. Labor markets remain solid, and the U.S. consumer has demonstrated resiliency. Inflationary trends are subsiding, but core levels remain well above the Fed’s target. Given the cumulative effects of restrictive monetary policy and tighter financial conditions, we believe the economy will gradually soften and the Fed will remain data dependent as they tread cautiously going forward.

As anticipated at the September meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to maintain the target Federal Funds at the range of 5.25 - 5.50%. The Fed’s Summaryof Economic Projections (SEP) also revealed expectations of higher economic growth, reduced unemployment, and a gradual easing of inflation compared to earlier forecasts. The Fed is continuing to focus on achieving price stability and bringing inflation down toward their2% policy objective, while leaving the option open for the possibility of additional rate hikes in the future if needed.

The yield curve remained inverted in September. The 2-year Treasury yield increased 18 basis points to 5.05%, the 5-year Treasury yield rose 36 basis points to 4.61%, and the 10-year Treasury yield increased 46 basis points to 4.57%. The inversion between the 2-year Treasury yield and 10-year Treasury yield narrowed to -48 basis points at September month-end versus -76 basis points at August month- end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was -45 basis points. The inversion between 3-month and 10-year Treasuries narrowed to -88 basis points in September from -134 basis points in August. The shape of the yield curve indicates that the probability of recession persists.

The U.S. economy added 336,000 jobsin September, exceeding consensus expectations of 170,000, and the last two months were revised upward by 119,000 jobs. The largest gains came from leisure and hospitality, bringing restaurant and bar employment back in-line with pre-pandemic levels. The pace of job growth has picked up recently, with the three-month moving average payrollsat 266,000 and the six- month moving average at 234,000. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.8%, and the labor participation rate was consistent with last month’s report at 62.8%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons declined slightly to 7.0% from the prior month at 7.1%. Average hourly earnings declined to

4.2% year-over-year in September from 4.3% in August. Employment remains strong by historical standards.

Historical Average
In Thousands (000's)
The Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) unexpectedly increased to 9.61 million in August from a revised

8.92 million in July. The level significantly surpassed the survey of Bloomberg economists’ expectations of 8.82 million and reflects approximately 1.5 job openings per available worker. Although JOLTS was an upside surprise, the quits rate remained at a benign 2.3% for August, well below its 3.0% peak in April 2022. Fewer quits can imply that workers are less confident in their ability to find another job in the current market. The current level of job openings remains elevated from a historical perspective.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased in September by 0.4% month-over-month and 3.7% year-over-year, slightly higher than expected. Gains in shelter and energy costs accounted for a large part of the monthly increase. The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, was up 0.3% month-over-month and 4.1% year-over-year, decelerating from 4.3% last month. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index rose 0.4% month-over-month and 3.5% year-over-year in August, up from a 3.4% year-over-year gain in July. Core PCE, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, increased just 0.1% month-over-month and 3.9% year-over-yearin August, down from a 4.3% increase in July. Personal income and spending remained relatively healthy, but the personal savings rate continued its declining trend to 3.9% in August from 4.1% in July. Inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target.

Retail Sales rose 0.6% in August, exceeding the consensus forecast. Sales of motor vehicles and higher gasoline prices drove greater than expected gains. However, Control Group Sales, which are used to calculate gross domestic product and exclude food services, auto dealers, building materials stores and gasoline stations, rose just 0.1%, the smallest advance in five months. On a year-over-year basis, retail sales growth decelerated to a 2.5% gain in August versus a downwardly revised 2.6% gain in July. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index dropped more than expected to 103.0 in September froman upwardly revised 108.7 in August, primarily due to significantly weaker future expectations for employment. While the consumer has been resilient, dwindling excess savings, rising credit card balances, and the resumption of student loan payments pose potential headwinds to future economic growth. 80 90

3 Month Average
The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) remained in negative territory for the seventeenth consecutive month at -0.4% in August due to weak new orders, deteriorating consumer expectations of business conditions, high interest rates, and tight credit conditions. The index declined 7.6% year-over-year. The consistent decline month-over-month continues to signal future contraction in the economy. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) surprised to the downside at -0.16 in August from downwardly revised 0.07in July. On a 3-month moving average basis, the CFNAI remained negative at -0.14 in August, indicating a rate of growth below the historical average trend.

Starts of new homes slowed -11.3% to 1.283 million units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in August after a downward revision to

1.447 million units in July. The slower starts came from both a 4.3% decline in single-family home starts and 26.3% decline in multi-family homes, continuing the reversal of strong multi-family homebuilding in the second half of 2022 and early 2023. Total starts of new homes are down 14.8% year-over-year. Accordingto Freddie Mac, average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates increased to 7.35% as of September 28th. Rising mortgage rates are prompting homebuilders to offer incentives to attract buyers and has caused homebuilder sentiment to reach a five-month low. Accordingto the Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, housing prices rose 0.1% year-over-year in July, improving from a 1.2% decline in June. Tight inventories and higher mortgage rates continue to impact affordability.

CONTRACTING
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing index remained in contraction territoryat 49.0 in September, up from 47.6 in August. This is the eleventh consecutive month of readings below 50.0, which is indicative of contraction in the manufacturing sector.

However, this is the highest reading since November 2022, as both employment and new orders improved, while prices paid subsided.

The ISM Services Index eased to 53.6 in September from the six-month high of 54.5 in August. The prices paid component continued to grow primarily due to high labor costs and an uptick in energy costs, but new orders reflected a significant slowdown.

Source: US Department of Commerce Source: US Department of Commerce According to the third estimate, second quarter annualized GDP growth remained unchanged at 2.1%. A material decline in consumer spending was offset by improvement in business investment. Historically low unemployment, wage growth and savings built up during the pandemic has supported consumer spending at a level to keep economic growth intact, but there are signs the consumer is beginning to show signs of stress. The consensus estimate calls for 3.0% growth for the third quarter and 2.1% for the full year 2023. 11 Item: 7

Federal Reserve Balance Sheet Assets
Recession
In $ millions
At the September meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimouslyto leave the Federal Funds rate unchanged at a target range of 5.25 - 5.50%. Nonetheless, the Fed conveyed a consensus view that another rate hike is possible later in the year, along with its commitmentto keeping rates at their current level until inflation subsides closer to its 2% target, endorsing a data-dependent 'higher-for- longer' strategy. The Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) also revealed expectations of higher economic growth, reduced unemployment, and a gradual easing of inflation compared to earlier forecasts. We believe the resiliency of future economic data will determine if the Federal Reserve can stay on hold for or will tighten policy further to curb inflation. Since the Federal Reserve began its Quantitative Tightening campaign in June 2022, securities holdings have declined by over $1 trillion to $8.024T.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK RENOVATIONS:

SUNDOWNER AND VINTAGE PARKS PROJECT (PW 2017-17D)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Find that Diamond Construction & Design has completed construction of the Neighborhood Park Renovations: Sundowner and Vintage Parks Project (PW 2017-17D).

2. Approve the Notice of Completion and authorize the Mayor to execute the document on behalf of the City.

3. Authorize the City Clerk to submit Notice of Completion for recordation to the Office of the County Recorder of Orange County within fifteen days of the City Council approval, as required by Section 9204 of the California Civil Code.

4. Authorize staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On April 19, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Diamond Construction & Design ("Diamond") in the amount of $944,047.18 for the Neighborhood Park Renovations: Vintage and Sundowner Parks (“Project”) (PW 2017-17D). In general, the improvements at Vintage Park consist of grading, landscaping, irrigation, site furnishings, redesigned play area with resilient surfacing, new playground equipment, a new shade structure, and a pathway with exercise equipment. At Sundowner Park, the improvements consist of removal and replacement of various park amenities.

The Project began on July 18, 2022. The City Manager authorized Contract Change Order (“CCO”) #1, Contract Change Order #2 (“CCO #2”), and Contract Change Order #3 (“CCO #3“), which together resulted in a $15,807.75 net reduction to the compensation in the contract with Diamond. The Project was substantially completed on June 2, 2023. The total construction cost, including the three CCO’s, Item: 8
73 is $928,239.43. After final inspection of the Project, determination of final quantities, approval of the project change orders, and progress payment processing, the Project is now ready for the Notice of Completion.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the Notice of Completion (Attachment 1) and direct staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law. Sufficient funding exists in the Capital Improvement Plan ("CIP") budget to cover the costs of the recommended actions.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2018, the City Council approved the conceptual designs and authorized RJM Design Group (“RJM”), the City’s Park Design Consultant, to prepare final designs and construction documents for the ten (10) City Neighborhood Parks Renovation Project.

Construction of improvements at five of the parks was completed in previous years.

Previously completed parks included Cherry Park, Peachwood Park, Darin Park, Montbury Park, and Pebble Creek Park. Improvements at Borrego Overlook, Rancho Serrano, and Regency Parks were completed earlier this year. Vintage Park and Sundowner Park improvements are the last two parks completed within this program.

DISCUSSION:

On April 19, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Diamond in the amount of $944,047.18 to complete improvements. The Project began on July 18, 2022, and construction was substantially completed on June 2, 2023. The City’s construction manager conducted a final inspection to ensure the Project’s completion per the contract requirements. The City Manager authorized CCO #1, CCO #2, and CCO #3, which in total resulted in a $15,807.75 net reduction in the contract amount with Diamond. The total construction cost, including the three contract change orders, totals $928,239.42.

The Notice of Completion establishes a date that limits the time subcontractors and material vendors may file stop notices or liens against the Project. Following City Council approval, the City Clerk must submit the Notice of Completion to the Clerk- Recorder of Orange County within 15 days of the City Council’s action, as required by Section 9204 of the California Civil Code. Following approval and recordation, the Notice of Completion establishes a 30-day period for subcontractors and material vendors to file stop payment notices and initiates the start date for the warranty period. The contractor has met all contractual obligations, and the City has accepted the work. Since the work has been completed and accepted by the City, staff recommends that the City Council approve the Notice of Completion and direct staff Item: 8
74 to release the retention payment 30 days after recording the Notice of completion, providing there are no stop notices for the project on file with the City.

Approving the recommended actions would find the project complete, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Notice of Completion and allow staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the recommended action would allow staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law. The total contract cost of the project is $928,239.42. The Capital Improvement Plan budget has sufficient funds available for the recommended actions.

SUBJECT:

AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CITYWIDE STREET NAME SIGNS PROJECT (PW 2021-06)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve contract documents for construction of the Citywide Street Name Signs Project (PW 2021-06).

3. Award a contract in the amount of $816,998 to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc.

4. Reject all other bids received and authorize return of the bid bonds upon receipt of the executed contract documents from Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc.

5. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest the contract with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Pursuant to the City’s Strategic Business Plan to invest and maintain public facilities, infrastructure, and natural resources to enhance visual character of the City and support quality neighborhoods, the Citywide Street Name Signs project would replace approximately 2,300 street name signs and 345 internally illuminated street name signs that are mounted on the overhead traffic signal arms with the new updated sign type, City logo, and background color.

The project was advertised on August 24, 2023. On September 19, 2023, the City received four (4) bids for this project ranging from $816,998 to $2,064,000.

The apparent lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. (“Bear Electrical”). The total project cost, including the traffic signal street Item: 9
78 name signs, inspection, construction support, and contingency for the project is estimated to be $880,000. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Construction Contract with Bear Electrical (Attachment 2). The signed cover sheet of the bid documents is provided as Attachment 3 to this report.

On December 6, 2022, the City Council approved the design of the neighborhood street name signs, directed staff to add traffic signal internally illuminated street name signs to the project, and instructed staff to bring back a budget adjustment with the award of the project. This project is funded by the General Fund and there are currently $300,000 allocated for this project per the Fiscal Year 2023- 25 Capital Improvement Program budget. In addition to recommending the award of a construction contract to Bear Electrical, staff recommend approving a budget amendment to increase the project funding by $580,000 to fully fund the Citywide Street Name Signs project (Attachment 4). The proposed budget amendment would result in a total budget of $880,000 for the project.

Should the City Council approve the recommended actions, sufficient funds would be available within the 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Program budget.

BACKGROUND:

On June 15, 2023, the City Council approved the City’s Strategic Business Plan (“Strategic Plan”). The Strategic Plan includes the major goals established by the City Council and a series of initiatives that facilitate progress towards each goal.

As part of the Strategic Plan, the second priority area is attractiveness, which consists of investing and maintaining public facilities, infrastructure, and natural resources to enhance the visual character of the City and support quality neighborhoods. Strategic Plan initiative #14 identified the desire to replace and refresh the City’s street name signs. Initiative #14 identified a total budget of $300,000 for Fiscal Years 2021-22 and 2022-23 to cover the costs of updating the City’s street name signs. The initiative did not originally include the internally illuminated street name signs that are mounted on the overhead traffic signal arms in the project scope or budget.

On December 6, 2022, the City Council approved the design of the neighborhood street name signs and directed staff to include the replacement of the traffic signal internally illuminated street name signs. It was estimated that the total project cost for the street name signs, and the traffic signal street name signs would total $880,000. The City Council directed staff to solicit bids for both street name sign types and to request additional funding based upon the bid results at the time a contract would be brought forth for award.

Item: 9
79 On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved the updated City’s Strategic Plan, which revised the numbering scheme for the Strategic Plan initiatives. As a result, the Strategic Plan initiative number for this project changed from #14 to #24 while the budget and project scope remained the same from the previous City Council approval.

DISCUSSION:

This project will replace approximately 2,300 street name signs and 345 internally illuminated street name signs that are mounted on the overhead traffic signal arms. The current signs have a green background with no City logo and the replacement signs will have an updated sign type, City logo, and background color (as shown below).

Image 1: New Street Name Sign
Should the proposed Construction Contract with Bear Electrical be approved, staff anticipates construction to begin in February 2024. The Construction Contract specifies 270 calendar days to complete the work with an anticipated project completion date in December 2024.

On September 19, 2023, the City received bids from four (4) qualified firms, ranging from $816,998 to $2,064,000. An additional bidder, Square Signs, LLC, was disqualified for not having the required contractor’s license to perform the work and their base bid was $670,047.58. The engineer’s estimate for this project is $880,000. The City utilized an electronic bidding system (known as OpenGov), which eliminates mathematical errors in the bids. Therefore, the submitted bid results for the project are shown Table 1.

Item: 9
80 Table 1: Bid Results
Contracting Firm OpenGov Verified Base Bid
Amounts
Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. $ 816,998
BC Rentals LLC $ 999,986
Select Electric, Inc. $1,547,745
Sterndahl Enterprises LLC $2,064,000
After analysis of the bids received, staff determined that Bear Electrical was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for this project. Recently, Bear Electrical completed projects in the cities of Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel through their maintenance contract. In addition, Bear Electrical is the City’s traffic signal maintenance contractor. Staff conducted a reference check that indicated Bear Electrical is a responsible contractor (Attachment 1).

The Finance Department prepared the Construction Contract which Bear Electrical subsequently executed (Attachment 2). The City Attorney reviewed and approved the contract as to form. The contract bid amount as determined by the estimated quantities is $816,998.00. Per the Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, the City Manager may approve additional work not-to-exceed 10% of the original contract amount ($81,699.80). The contract plans and specifications are not attached to the agenda due to their size; however, they are available in the Office of the City Clerk, and on City’s digital bid advertising platform (OpenGov). Staff attached the approved signed title sheet for the Citywide Street Name Signs project (Attachment 3).

The funds for the Citywide Street Name Signs project are from the General Fund.

Currently, $300,000 is budgeted in Fiscal Year 2023-24 of the 2023-2025 CIP Budget for this purpose. A proposed budget amendment (Attachment 4) to increase the funding by $580,000 is attached to this report for City Council approval, as it is required to ensure the Construction Contract with Bear Electrical is fully funded. This would increase the project budget to a total of $880,000. The proposed budget amount would include the cost of traffic signal street name signs and covers the cost to construct, inspect, provide construction support, and provide contingency for the project. Should the budget amendment be approved, there would be sufficient funds available in the 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Program budget for the recommended action.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council award the Construction Contract with Bear Electrical and adopt a budget resolution to amend the project budget.

Item: 9
81 FISCAL IMPACT:

With the inclusion of the traffic signal street name signs, the total cost of the project including the cost of construction, inspection, construction support, and contingency for this project is estimated to be $880,000. Approving the recommended actions would award a construction contract to Bear Electrical in the amount of $816,998. The 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Program budget allocated $300,000 for the Citywide Street Name Signs Project. The attached proposed budget resolution would provide an additional $580,000 from the City’s General Fund to cover the additional costs of including the traffic signal internally illuminated street name signs.

Therefore, with the approval of the recommended actions, there would be sufficient funds available within the 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Program budget.

DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUBJECT:

APPROVAL OF MEASURE M2 EXPENDITURE REPORT
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, CONCERNING THE MEASURE M2

EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

With the renewal of Measure M (“M2”), local jurisdictions, including the City, are required to submit an annual account of M2 revenue and expenditures to the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) by December 31st of each year. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City expended $72,282 of Measure M2 funds on the Senior Mobility Program. The City did not expend any Measure M2 funds for street repaving and slurry seal projects. Prior to submitting the accounting to OCTA, the City Council must adopt, by resolution, the attached M2 expenditure report in the approved OCTA format. Adoption of the proposed resolution and submittal of the expenditure report to the OCTA ensures the City remains eligible for future M2 funding.

BACKGROUND:

In 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M (1991-2011), a 20-year program for local transportation improvements funded by a half-cent sales tax and entrusted the OCTA to administer the funds. Measure M was designated to fund transportation improvement projects in three major areas – freeways, streets and roads, and transit. The initial Measure M plan ended March 31, 2011.

On November 7, 2006, Orange County voters renewed the additional sales tax measure extending the funding for transportation purposes until 2041.

Item: 10
99 DISCUSSION:

Measure M2 continues funding for transportation purposes until 2041. With the passage of M2, local agencies must continue to demonstrate eligibility. The M2 eligibility process began in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2010-11 and will continue on an annual basis through 2041. One of the funding requirements emphasizes financial accountability and requires each local agency to submit an expenditure report to the OCTA each year. Specifically, Ordinance No. 3 of the Local Transportation Authority requires the following:
“Local jurisdictions must adopt and provide an annual expenditure report to OCTA to account for M2 funds, developer/traffic impact fees, and funds expended by the jurisdiction to satisfy maintenance of effort requirements.” Pursuant to the above requirement, staff prepared the report and proposed resolution, which are required within six months of each jurisdiction’s fiscal year end. The report includes all M2 net revenue, fund balances and interest earned, and identifies expenditures by activity type and fund source. In Fiscal Year 2022- 23, the City expended $72,282 of Measure M2 funds on the Senior Mobility Program. The City did not expend any Measure M2 funds for street repaving and slurry seal projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. However, if this report is not filed, OCTA could potentially suspend or delay M2 funding for the City.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 11/7/2023
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC.

FOR STREET AND TRAFFIC ON-CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES - TASK ORDER #10 WIDENING/REALIGNMENT OF JERONIMO ROAD AT EL TORO ROAD
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Fourth Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Tait & Associates, Inc. for On-Call Street and Traffic Services – Task Order #10 Widening/Realignment of Jeronimo Road at El Toro Road.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Fourth Amendment substantially in the form attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Tait & Associates, Inc. (“Tait”) provides Street and Traffic On-Call Engineering Services under a contract approved by the City Council on April 17, 2018. The three-year Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Tait (“Agreement”) allowed for two additional one-year extensions based upon performance (Attachment 1).

Tait has performed to staff’s expectations throughout the term of the Agreement.

The term of the Agreement has been extended three times via amendments and is set to expire on April 17, 2025 (Attachments 2 through 4).

Under this contract, Tait has been preparing the design for the Jeronimo Widening/Realignment at El Toro Road, a Foothill Corridor Phasing Project (“FCPP”). This project requires additional environmental, right-of-way, and traffic signal design prior to advertising the project for construction. To continue the design services and provide assistance through construction of the project, staff proposes a Fourth Amendment (Attachment 4) with Tait that would increase the not-to-exceed compensation amount by $169,060 to a total compensation of $691,060.

Item: 11
111

Staff recommends approving the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement by exercising the City Council’s discretionary authority to ensure Tait can continue providing engineering services during the property acquisition and construction phase of this project.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department utilizes on-call engineering consultants to provide public works and engineering support services on an as-needed basis. These services include engineering design services for Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) projects. On April 17, 2018, the City Council approved Professional Consultant Services Agreements with Rick Engineering Company, Tait & Associates, and Harris & Associates for on-call street and engineering services for $250,000 each. The initial term for each of the three agreements were for three years from April 18, 2018, to April 17, 2021, with the option to add two one- year extensions at the discretion of the City Council. The original contracts were intended to cover multiple years and multiple CIP projects. For each CIP project in need of engineering support services, staff solicited proposals from the three contracted firms and evaluated each based on the firms’ specific expertise, proposed cost, and availability.

The City Council’s initial approval provided the compensation required to begin utilizing these consulting services with the understanding staff would routinely bring back amendments to City Council on an as-needed basis. The City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with Tait on January 5, 2021 (Attachment 2). The First Amendment increased the compensation amount by $272,000 to bring total compensation under the agreement from $250,000 to $522,000 and extended the term by one-year to April 17, 2022. The First Amendment allowed enough time and compensation to include the design of the Jeronimo Widening project and Glenn Ranch Road Resurfacing project. The City Manager approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Tait on March 31, 2022, extending the term by one-year to April 17, 2023 (Attachment 3). The City Council approved the Third Amendment to the Agreement with Tait on February 21, 2023, extending the term by two-years to April 17, 2025 (Attachment 4).

The Jeronimo Widening/Realignment at El Toro Road, a Foothill Corridor Phasing Project (“FCPP”), consists of widening Jeronimo Road north and south of El Toro Road to correct an existing misalignment of the through lanes. The realignment will relocate an existing block wall to accommodate the road widening to provide adequate room for traffic signal equipment and therefore requires the acquisition of additional right-of-way from the adjacent north-west property. The Subject Property is owned by EFTFTB, LLC (“Property Owner”).

Item: 11
112

Tait and their subconsultants have been working with staff on the property acquisition.

DISCUSSION:

For the City to complete the Project, additional environmental, design, and right- of-way services are required. In addition, to connect this intersection to the City’s Traffic Management Center, Tait would provide an additional traffic signal interconnect design to bring fiber optic connectivity from the intersection to City Hall.

Tait’s environmental subconsultant, the Chambers Group, would perform a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review and analysis including a thorough and detailed Initial Study to support, as appropriate, a Categorical Exemption (“CE”), Negative Declaration (“ND”), or Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) for the Jeronimo Road Widening Improvement Project. This analysis and review would include completing all aspects of environmental documentation in compliance with CEQA, which may include Responses to Comments, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and Findings, as well as support during public meetings.

Paragon Partners Consultants, Inc., Tait’s right-of-way/property acquisition subconsultant, would provide the additional appraisals, notifications, and documentation required to complete the right-of-way process.

TJW Engineering, Tait’s traffic engineering subconsultant, would prepare the design to provide traffic signal interconnects for the existing 22 signalized intersections along the corridors of Trabuco Road, Jeronimo Road, and El Toro Road in conjunction with the new signal work at the intersection.

Tait & Associates provided a proposal including these additional services from their subconsultants and additional design support from Tait to prepare temporary construction easement documents. The services would be performed for a total additional not to exceed fee of $169,060.

Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff completes a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The chart below provides an overall summary of the contractor’s performance since its most recent amendment.

The Finance Department prepared the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Tait & Associates (“Fourth Amendment“) and the City Attorney’s Office reviewed the document as to form. Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed amendment to allow Tait to continue to provide engineering services for the completion of the Jeronimo Widening/Realignment project.

The proposed Fourth Amendment would increase total contract compensation by $169,060. The term of the agreement would remain the same and would maintain the current contractual hourly rates to allow for the completion of the Jeronimo Widening/Realignment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Tait & Associates would increase total contract compensation by $169,060, for a total compensation of $691,060. The Fourth Amendment would maintain the current contractual hourly rates. The 2023-25 Capital Improvement Program Budget has sufficient funds available for the recommended action.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 7, 2023
DEPARTMENT City Manager
SUBJECT:

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH RALPH ANDERSEN &

ASSOCIATES FOR HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement for Ralph Andersen & Associates for Human Resources Consulting Services.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk attest to, the agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates, substantially in the form attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On November 16, 2019, the City Manager approved a three-year contract with Ralph Andersen & Associates (“RAA”) for human resources consulting services (“Agreement”). The agreement allows for two additional one-year extensions based upon performance and the discretion of the City Council. Since inception, RAA has provided various human resources consulting services for the City, including the recruitment of three management level positions. On May 9, 2022, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement which extended the term to November 16, 2023, and increased the total compensation amount from $100,000 to $160,000.

The proposed Second Amendment would extend the term of the Agreement to November 15, 2024, and increase the compensation by $30,000 to $190,000.

The term extension and associated compensation increase is requested based on the City’s projected human resources consulting needs for the remainder of the current fiscal year and projected needs for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The Second Amendment to the RAA Agreement was prepared by the Finance Department, has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is approved as to form. Sufficient funds are available in the 2023-2025 Operating Budget to cover the costs of the recommended action.

Item: 12

2 8
1 5
BACKGROUND:

On July 22, 2019, the City Manager approved a Request for Proposal for professional human resources consulting services and authorized staff to solicit proposals. After a competitive process, the City Manager awarded a three-year agreement in the amount of $100,000 to RAA for human resources consulting services (Attachment 1). The original Agreement provided an initial term from November 16, 2019, to November 15, 2022, with two optional one-year extensions based on performance and at the discretion of the City Council. The City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines authorize the City Manager to approve agreements for professional services, after a formal procurement process, up to $50,000 per year for three years.

The RAA Agreement includes but is not limited to the following human resource consulting service areas:

Organizational Design
•Review and evaluate the adequacy of staffing levels in each department including the use of contract vs. in-house employees.

Biennial Compensation Study
•Perform a comprehensive study of City job classifications to ensure all positions are graded appropriately with respect to internal equity and are fairly compensated with respect to local public employment markets.

Recruitments
•Conduct executive searches and other high-level recruitments from identification of potential candidates through
comprehensive background investigations.

Job Descriptions and Salary Ranges
•Prepare job descriptions and assign appropriate salary ranges DISCUSSION:

The original RAA Agreement included a compensation amount of $100,000 and assumed a basic level of human resources consulting services consisting of routine updates to existing studies, projects, programs, and policies. This compensation amount was determined based upon past experience and historical levels of funding. While RAA has provided consulting services in those areas, they have also provided executive recruitment services for key technical positions that are historically difficult to fill. On May 9, 2022, the City Council approved the first optional one-year extension by authorizing the First Amendment to Item: 12
161

2 8
1 5
the Agreement (“First Amendment”). The First Amendment extended the term of the Agreement with RAA to November 16, 2023, and increased the total compensation amount from $100,000 to $160,000 (Attachment 2).

The proposed Second Amendment to the RAA Agreement would increase compensation by $30,000 for a revised total not to exceed compensation amount of $190,000 (Attachment 3). The Second Amendment would also extend the term of the Agreement to November 15, 2024, thereby exercising the second of the two optional one-year term extensions.

Staff believes RAA’s performance met or exceeded the Agreement scope of work relative to the responsibilities associated with human resources consulting services. Throughout the term of the Agreement, RAA demonstrated their willingness to respond to questions and consistently completed all required tasks in a quick and professional manner. Table 1 below provides an overall summary of the consultant’s performance since November 16, 2022, through the most recent calendar month.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the proposed Second Amendment to the RAA Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended action will result in an additional $30,000 in compensation authorized to be paid to RAA for human resources consulting services. The Second Amendment does not increase contractual rates.

Sufficient funds are available in the 2023-25 Operating Budget to cover the costs of the recommended action.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 11/7/2023
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER 6.12 – PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, REVISING SECTION 6.14.002 – PUBLIC NUISANCES DESIGNATED, AND ADDING SECTION 6.14.017 –

DEFINITIONS, TO THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE (CONTINUED FROM THE OCTOBER 17, 2023, CITY COUNCIL MEETING)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Introduce for first reading an Ordinance Entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER

6.12 – PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, REVISING SECTION 6.14.002 – PUBLIC NUISANCES DESIGNATED, AND ADDING SECTION 6.14.017 –

DEFINITIONS, TO THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE, AND FINDING THE

ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION
15061(B)(3)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This item is a staff-initiated ordinance adding a new Property Maintenance chapter to the Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC”), amending the Nuisances section, and adding corresponding definitions. The proposed ordinance is intended to promote public health, safety, and welfare by proactively addressing conditions that may be detrimental to the community in accordance with General Plan Policy 2.3, which encourages the City to proactively address housing and neighborhood conditions that may be detrimental to public health.

The LFMC currently contains a chapter on nuisances (Chapter 6.14). However, the existing nuisance code does not address numerous conditions that are adverse to public health, safety and welfare, and which are better classified as property maintenance conditions. This code amendment adds a property maintenance section, adds to and revises the list of conditions deemed a nuisance, clarifies and refines standards, and adds definitions. Specifically, the draft ordinance includes:

1. New chapter 6.12 – Property Maintenance

2. Revisions to section 16.14.002 – Public Nuisances Designated

3. New section 6.14.017 – Definitions
Item: 13
193

2 7
2 7
The draft ordinance also reclassifies numerous conditions as property maintenance violations, rather than nuisances, and expands the list of conditions that constitute violations to provide code enforcement the authority to address the most common complaints received. In addition, the ordinance addresses ambiguities in the current code with more precise language and new definitions.

The ordinance was prepared with reference to the International Property Maintenance Code and in consultation with the City Attorney's Office.

The intent of the ordinance is to facilitate code enforcement, help preserve property values and quality, and mitigate conditions that could lead to blight. The benefits include:
•Standards that can be applied to commercial and residential property; •Addresses public concerns, particularly for renters or those who do not have a say in the maintenance of their residence or business premises; •Helps maintain and improve property values;
•Addresses dangerous and dilapidated buildings/structures •Prevents blight.

Staff recommends the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance for first reading (Attachment 1). If introduced tonight, the City Council would have the opportunity to consider final approval of the proposed ordinance at the November 21, 2023, City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND:

Code Enforcement officers currently utilize LFMC Chapter 6.14 – Nuisances, General as a property maintenance enforcement tool. However, this code section has not been updated in several years and lacks certain useful provisions. Presently, property maintenance standards used by Code Enforcement are dispersed across multiple codes, including the California Residential Code, California Health and Safety Code, California Fire Code, and various sections of the LFMC. This scattered arrangement of codes and standards makes compliance efforts more challenging for code enforcement, residents, property owners, and business owners.

In many instances, the codes cited for property maintenance violations are more suitable for regulation of construction or land use. For example, the California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”) provides standards for construction of walls but does not address peeling paint. The CBSC also does not require that parking lot pavement be maintained free of cracks and potholes, or that stall striping not be faded. Moreover, the standards contained in the CBSC tend to be overly technical and intended for engineers, architects, and other design professionals, rather than property and business owners. An additional challenge is that the referenced codes often lack appropriate standards and regulations for Item: 13
194

2 7
2 7
addressing many of the property maintenance issues commonly encountered in the city.

Presently, Lake Forest is one of only six Orange County cities that have not adopted either a standalone property maintenance code, such as the International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC"), or a property maintenance chapter in its municipal code. As Lake Forest transitions to a maintenance- oriented city, it becomes increasingly important to equip Code Enforcement with the tools and regulations necessary to ensure a basic level of property maintenance.

DISCUSSION:

Property maintenance and nuisance issues are the basis for most code enforcement activity in the city, as well as the subject of most complaints received from the public. Property maintenance issues can manifest as unsanitary or hazardous conditions at one end of the spectrum and as an eyesore for neighbors and passersby at the other. Without active enforcement and proper enforcement tools, deferred maintenance conditions can proliferate in neighborhoods and contribute to blight that is difficult to reverse. Ensuring a basic level of property maintenance and minimizing public nuisances is critical to maintaining property values and the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

It is essential that Code Enforcement and the City Attorney's office have the proper tools to effectively address property maintenance issues. The tool most helpful in this regard is a set of clear, concise, and comprehensive regulations that address the most common maintenance issues. Regulations should be practical and legally enforceable. In Lake Forest, this can be achieved with regulations that are consolidated and focused on maintenance, rather than new construction, remodeling, or repairs.

In December 2022, as part of the triennial update of the California Building Standards Code, staff initially proposed adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code ("IPMC") as a means to enhance code enforcement authority.

As noted in the Background section of this report, the IPMC has been widely adopted by Orange County cities, as well as throughout California and nationally.

However, after further evaluation and feedback from the City Council, staff prepared a custom-to-Lake Forest property maintenance code section that borrows from the IPMC but is more concise, uses simpler language, and eliminates references to other codes not used in Lake Forest (e.g., the International Plumbing Code).

Staff also drafted revisions to the City's existing nuisance regulations (LFMC section 6.14.002) and added a list of definitions as a new section 6.14.017. The Item: 13
195

2 7
2 7
definitions minimize ambiguity, thereby rendering the standards more enforceable and protected from legal challenge. The draft property maintenance regulations, nuisance code revisions, and definitions are provided as an attachment to this report (Attachment 1).

Because violation notices issued by Code Enforcement typically cite applicable code sections, the draft ordinance would facilitate notices to property owners that are easier to understand. This, in turn, will facilitate compliance and avoid complications from vague or ambiguous notices. In many instances, code enforcement cases are settled in court, where judges look to the code sections cited to determine if the condition described in the notice constitutes a clear violation of law. If adopted, the revised and new code sections would help ensure Code Enforcement and the City Attorney's office are effectively able to utilize codified regulations to address the most common property maintenance and nuisance issues.

Attachment 2 lists each proposed code section and its origin or basis. For example, some sections were derived from existing provisions in one or more chapters of the LFMC and synthesized or reworded as succinct property maintenance standards. In other instances, conditions that currently constitute a Code violation based on one or more existing LFMC sections were simply designated a nuisance. Other proposed code sections are based on standards in the IPMC, the California Building Code, the California Health & Safety Code, or another California code.

New Chapter- 6.12 - Property Maintenance
The draft ordinance includes provisions that address the following property maintenance conditions:
•graffiti
•building exteriors and painted
surfaces
•walls and fences
•driveway and parking lot
pavement, signage, and
striping
•tarpaulin as coverings for
inoperative vehicles and other
stored items in public view
•"E-Z up" canopies in front
yards and parking lots
•light fixtures and support
poles Conditions not adequately addressed by current
Code (vegetation, trash bins, inoperative vehicles)

•windows and window screens in multi-family residential units •commercial signage
•dead or overgrown vegetation
•rodents and vermin
•address numerals required to support emergency response/ public safety •swimming pool water and fencing
•temporary wiring and lighting
•mechanical equipment and plumbing
•inoperable vehicles, trash bins/dumpsters, and storage pods Revision to Section 16.14.002 – Public Nuisances Designated LFMC section 6.14.002 – Public Nuisances, Designated, identifies conditions that constitute a public nuisance and a violation of law in the City. The draft ordinance designates the conditions listed below as a public nuisance. In all but one instance, provisions deleted from section 6.14.002 were added to the property maintenance code as a more appropriate classification.

The draft ordinance removes
"Use of parked or stored
recreational vehicles . . . as
temporary or permanent
living space" from the list of
nuisances based on
guidance from the City
Attorney's Office and for
consistency with recent case

provisions listed in the draft
property maintenance code
section are currently
identified as nuisances in the
LFMC and were reclassified
as property maintenance
violations.

Updated List of Nuisances:
•Failure to secure and prevent access by unauthorized persons to vacant or abandoned property and/or structures
•Abandoned, disregarded, or unused objects or equipment •Stagnant water

•Commercial shipping/ storage containers on a residential property for more than 14 consecutive days, except for a maximum of 90 days in conjunction with an active building permit
•Storage of construction equipment visible from the public right-of-way in a residential zone, except during construction with a permit •Parking, storing, or maintaining abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperable vehicle on any residential property, where the vehicle is visible from the public right-of-way

•Any pest breeding hazard
•Trailers, campers, boats, or motor vehicles parked or stored on vacant property or in front yards of developed lots, except on a Code-compliant and paved driveway
New Section 6.14.017 – Definitions
The draft ordinance adds definitions as a new LFMC section 6.14.017 for the following terms used in the draft updated version of section 6.14.002:
•commercial bins •infestation
•commercial vehicle •inoperable vehicle
•habitable space •residential uses
•hen •vehicle
•hoarding or hoarding conditions •vacant property
The added definitions minimize ambiguity for Code Enforcement and the public and enhance the City's ability to enforce nuisance standards. Furthermore, the Item: 13
198

2 7
2 7
definitions protect the City from legal challenges to enforcement proceedings on the basis that terms used in the LFMC are vague or subject to interpretation.

The draft ordinance establishes a minimum maintenance standard for each item listed. For example, potholes, broken windows, dead vegetation, and faulty wiring would constitute a violation of the LFMC.

SUMMARY:

The draft ordinance was prepared in coordination with the City Attorney's Office.

Adoption and implementation of the draft ordinance would provide a consistent and uniform approach to property maintenance, facilitate code enforcement, help preserve property values and quality, and promote public health, safety, and welfare. The ordinance provides standards and regulations that are more easily understood, easier to enforce, and more comprehensive than the current regulatory framework. Staff recommends the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance for first reading (Attachment 1). If introduced tonight, the City Council will have the opportunity to consider final approval of the proposed ordinance at the November 21, 2023, City Council meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Approval of the draft ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs., § 15061(b)(3)). The Ordinance does not authorize any development or other activity that could result in a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the draft ordinance carries no fiscal impact.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

4 Council hereby directs City staff to file a Notice of Exemption within five days of the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 3. General Plan. Based on the entire record before the City Council, and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the Ordinance’s amendments to the LFMC are consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. Specifically, this Ordinance is consistent with Health and Wellness Element Policy 2.3, which encourages the City to proactively address housing and neighborhood conditions that may be detrimental to public health.

This Ordinance improves the City's ability to address these conditions, each of which may be detrimental to public health and safety. For these reasons, adoption of the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 11/7/2023
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:

AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR SOLID

WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Request for Proposals for Residential and Commercial Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services substantially in the form attached.

2. Authorize staff to solicit proposals.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The current franchise agreement with CR&R Environmental Services, Inc. (“CR&R”) for residential and commercial solid waste and recycling services will expire on April 30, 2024. The City has historically procured these services through the Request for Proposals process. The City of Laguna Hills also holds a franchise agreement for similar services that expires April 30, 2024. Through a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), the two cities developed a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) jointly. The documents were prepared by the City’s consultant, EcoNomics, and reviewed by the City Attorney’s Offices in both cities.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the RFP substantially in the form attached and authorize staff to solicit proposals in accordance with the MOU.

BACKGROUND:

Since its incorporation, the City of Lake Forest has provided solid waste collection and disposal services via an agreement with a private waste hauler.

The City has historically procured these services through a competitive Request for Proposals process to ensure transparency and competitive pricing for the community. The history of solid waste services procurements is outlined in the following table:

Most recently, on March 4, 2014, the City Council awarded the franchise agreement to CR&R Environmental Services, Inc. (“CR&R”) for the collection, transportation, processing, and diversion of recyclable materials and municipal solid waste (“Franchise Agreement”). The original term of the Franchise Agreement was May 1, 2014, through April 30, 2022, and included two one-year extensions that CR&R could earn by meeting certain performance goals designed to increase the City’s waste diversion from landfills. The City Council awarded the first one-year extension to the Franchise Agreement with CR&R on February 21, 2017, in advance of the agreement expiring in 2022. On April 20, 2021, the City Council awarded the second one-year extension, which extended the Franchise Agreement to June 30, 2024. The City of Laguna Hills holds a franchise agreement for similar solid waste services that also expires on June 30, 2024.

On September 20, 2021, the cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (”MOU”) for the purpose of sharing costs while developing procurement documents for the selection of a solid waste and recycling services provider (Attachment 1). On February 1, 2022, after a joint selection process with Laguna Hills, the City Council awarded a professional consultant services agreement to EcoNomics, Inc. (“EcoNomics”) to provide consulting services during the solid waste agreement procurement process. The City of Lake Forest is the lead agency for the project. As such, Lake Forest requests and collects payment from the City of Laguna Hills for 50% of the consultant’s fees.

On April 19, 2022, the Lake Forest City Council created a Solid Waste Procurement Ad-Hoc Committee (“Committee”) and appointed then-Mayor Robert Pequeno and then-Mayor Pro Tem Doug Cirbo to the Committee. On April 26, 2022, the City of Laguna Hills City Council appointed City Councilmembers Don Caskey and Erica Pezold to serve on the Committee. The Committee also includes the City Manager and staff from both cities.

On April 18, 2023, the Lake Forest City Council approved the First Amendment (Attachment 2) to the MOU between the City of Laguna Hills and the City of Lake Forest to include the procurement, selection, and recommendation of a single solid waste hauler for the two cities. As part of the updated terms of the MOU, each city would have a separate agreement for services at the end of the joint procurement.

DISCUSSION:

Item: 14
224

The City currently provides solid waste and recycling collection, processing, and disposal services for its residents and commercial businesses via the Franchise Agreement with CR&R. The Franchise Agreement expires on June 30, 2024. The City of Laguna Hills holds a franchise agreement for similar solid waste services that also expires on June 30, 2024. For the purposes of sharing costs and resources, the City of Lake Forest and the City of Laguna Hills entered into an MOU to procure new solid waste services jointly.

Historically, the City has utilized a competitive RFP process to procure solid waste services. This process represents the fourth time the City has undertaken an RFP since the City’s incorporation in 1991 when it took over the County’s agreement with Dewey’s Rubbish Service. The RFP process encourages multiple proposers to compete for the opportunity to provide solid waste services within the City. This helps the City secure services at competitive pricing for its residents and businesses. The following discussion provides an overview of the RFP documents, the selection process for a solid waste services provider, integrity rules, next steps, and staff recommendation.

RFP Overview
During the Ad Hoc Committee meetings, the Committee discussed numerous policy and scope of work items to be included in the proposed Solid Waste RFP documents. Request for Proposal documents include general proposal requirements, key dates during the process, background of existing solid waste program, technical requirements, description of the evaluation process, required proposal forms, and the draft agreement (Attachment 3). Also incorporated in the RFP are items recommended by the Committee including:
•Initial eight-year agreement term with two one-year extensions based on performance measurements related to contamination rates. •Residential three-cart bundled rate with rates determined by size of trash container.
•Residential kitchen pail distribution for organics collection. •Single-family residents with handicap placards to receive backyard roll-out service at no charge.
•Cross-jurisdictional routing for residential and commercial/multifamily allowed between Lake Forest and Laguna Hills within a proscribed methodology.
•50% recycling and organics rate incentives for commercial/multifamily customers compared to solid waste rates.
•Provision for new vehicles and collection containers for residential and commercial/multifamily customers with colors in alignment with SB 1383. •Provision of recycling coordinators.

Item: 14
225

•Special programs such as:
oTwo residential bulky item pickups included annually per residence, with a limit of 10 items per pickup
oAnnual community bulky item drop-off event
oAnnual household hazardous waste collection event
oTwo compost giveaways and one compost workshop annually •Lightweight vehicles for commercial recycling.
•One electric collection vehicle for use in the two-city area. •Technology such as collision avoidance systems, on-board scales, and cloud-based customer relationship management (“CRM”) software. •Provision making temporary roll-off bin service for Construction and Demolition (“C&D”) projects exclusive to the agreement.

Also discussed by the Committee was the provision of Regulatory Compliance Costs in lieu of a Franchise Fee. Due to recent case law, the draft agreement does not include franchise fees. Instead, the agreement would include cost recovery from the hauler for the amount it costs the City to administer the agreement, comply with state regulations such as AB 939 and SB 1383, mitigate pavement impacts from heavy trucks, and procure recovered organic waste products such as compost and mulch.

In addition, the proposed RFP includes two separate rate schedules for the proposers to fill out. This allows the proposer to submit rates that assume cross- jurisdictional efficiencies between the cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills and a second schedule of rates that would only be used if one of the cities decides to stop allowing cross-jurisdictional sharing of routes or decides to terminate its agreement with the selected hauler.

The proposed RFP was prepared by the City’s consultant and reflects the recommendations made by the Ad Hoc Committee. City staff and specialists from the City Attorney’s Offices for the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills both reviewed and worked with the consultant’s attorney and staff to review and create the documents. The City Attorney’s office has approved them as to form.

Selection Process
Staff from both Cities and the consultant will review the proposals for completeness and responsiveness to the RFP. Proposals would also be evaluated and analyzed according to each criterion listed in the RFP. Evaluation criteria include, but are not limited to, the experience of each proposing hauler and its key personnel, technical abilities, implementation plan, financial capability, diversion strategy, and cost proposal. Following a comprehensive evaluation of each proposal, staff and the consultants would interview qualified proposers. After careful consideration and upon identifying the strengths and Item: 14
226

weaknesses of each proposal, staff and the consultant would brief the Ad Hoc Committee for their advisement and recommendation. Staff would then present a recommended new Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement to the City Council for its consideration.

Integrity Rules
To ensure the integrity of the procurement process, the RFP includes Process Integrity Rules that all proposers would be required to follow. The Integrity Rules would require that all communications regarding the RFP process be made strictly to the Cities’ RFP Coordinator and prohibit potential proposers from contacting other City representatives, including City Council Members. As the City of Lake Forest is the lead agency, the Lake Forest Public Works Administrative Services Manager serves as the designated RFP Coordinator.

Communications from the RFP Coordinator would be issued to all proposers simultaneously in writing.

Additionally, the Process Integrity Rules state that all proposal submittals would be considered final, and no changes would be accepted after submittal. Any proposer seeking to submit a contestation in any part of the process would be required to submit their claim to both Cities. Finally, to ensure adherence to the process rules, any proposer who fails to utilize the specified process for communication would be notified of its violation and may be disqualified.

The Process Integrity Rules are meant to create a fair, transparent process, and provide a level “playing field” for all proposers. It would also create a clear paper trail of all communications between the City and proposers. The Process Integrity Rules would be in effect immediately following the approval of the RFP documents and remain in effect through the award of a Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement.

Next Steps
The City of Laguna Hills is scheduled to present the RFP documents to its City Council later this month. It is anticipated that the RFP would be released no later than November 21, 2023.

The anticipated schedule for this project is as follows:

Lake Forest City Council consideration of authorization to solicit proposals
November 7, 2023
Laguna Hills City Council consideration of authorization to solicit proposals
November 14, 2023
Anticipated RFP release November 21, 2023
Item: 14

Recommendation to Lake Forest City Council for award July 2, 2024 Recommendation to Laguna Hills City Council for award July 9, 2024 Collection operations begin under new agreement July 1, 2025 Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Request for Proposals for Residential and Commercial Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services substantially in this form and authorize staff to solicit proposals.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is minimal fiscal impact associated with approval of the RFP documents and authorization to solicit proposals.

5 1 PROJECT OVERVIEW

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Cit ies of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills (“the Cit ies”) are seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide municipal solid waste and divertible materials collection, processing, disposal, and transportation services. The two contiguous Cities are using a ‘joint’ RFP process to gain procurement process efficiencies and, when the contracts become effective, to maximize cross -jurisdictional routing efficiencies to reduce costs to ratepayers. Section 6 of this RFP includes the contract that each City plans to award to the selected proposer. The contracts are “mirror images” of each other. The Cities envision selecting the same proposer and each City awarding a contract to that selected Proposer.

The Cities are requesting proposals to provide collection, transportation and disposal of municipal solid waste and the collection, transportation, processing and diversion of recyclable materials, yard trimmings, food scraps, and other materials for an eight (8 ) year period beginning July 1, 2025 and terminating June 30, 2033 with the possibility of two (2) one-year extensions based on the selected Proposer’s attainment of performance measures. Both Cities’ have existing contracts with CR&R Incorporated (C R&R) which terminate June 30, 2024. The Cities are currently in discussions with CR&R to extend the existing contracts to June 30, 2025. The schedule for this procurement process is anticipated to be as follows:

33 3 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The Cities will award the new Agreement for a period of eight (8) years. The selected Proposer will have the opportunity to earn up to two one-year extensions of the Agreement if specific performance measures are met.

3.1.1 Agreement

Proposers must be willing and able to enter into an Agreement with each City (Lake Forest and Laguna Hills) to provide collection , processing, disposal and diversion services for an eight (8 ) year period at a specified cost and under specified terms. The selected Proposer will sign a contract with each City. The Agreement is in Section 6 of this RFP.

Where tonnages or other City-specific information appears in the Agreement, the figures or text for each City is noted in brackets and bold font. It is recommended that Proposers carefully review the Agreement terms with their legal counsel. If Proposers take exception to any of the terms of the Agreement in Section 6, the Proposer must list each exception on Proposal Form 20 “Exceptions to Agreement.” Any exceptions to the Agreement will be considered as part of the evaluation process. If selected, a Proposer must be prepared to sign the Agreement in Section 6 with each City, with the exceptions listed on their Proposal Form 20. Failure to do so will result in disqualification and the Cities may select the next ranked Proposer.

3.1.2 Diversion Collection Services

The selected Proposer will provide the following diversion collection services in the Cities.

These plus the other programmatic requirements are provided in Attachment B Scope of Work.

Residential: Single stream recycling program and co-collection of food scraps and yard trimmings. Collection of stable bedding from residential households.

Multi-Family: Single-stream and single -material recycling program , yard trimmings program, s ource-separated food scrap collection program , and co-collection of food scraps and yard trimmings.

Commercial: Single-stream and single -material recycling progra m, y ard trimmings program, s ource-separated food scrap collection program , and co -collection of food scraps and yard trimmings.

Other Services: Holiday greenery collection, HHW collection, bulky goods including white goods collection program, sharps program, Cities’ facilities’ diversion program, compost giveaway events, compost workshops, special events/large venue diversion program, and related public education programs.

3.1.2.1 Residential Diversion Programs

Per SB 1383, the provision of a residential co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings was implemented on July 1, 2021 in Lake Forest and October 1, 2022 in Laguna Hills .

The provision of a residential co-collected program will continue to be required in the new Agreement.

Proposers shall provide rates for 35, 65, and 95-gallon residential carts for co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings, single stream recyclables, and MSW service in Proposal Form 29 “Proposed Rates to be Charged,” which will become Attachment D-1 to the final Agreement. The default size for all th ree residential carts will be 9 5-gallons, with customers having the option to ‘upsize’ or ‘downsize’ any service line at their discretion.

The basic Residential rates shall include one MSW Cart, up to two Recycling Carts and one co -collected Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps Cart. (See Attachment B of the Agreement for the required customer survey to determine customer-selected cart sizes.) Proposal Form 2 9 requires P roposers to provide rates for the following residential diversion service lines:

• 35, 65, and 9 5-gallon single stream recycling service, one or two Carts per Residential Customer included in Residential rate
• 35, 65, and 95-gallon co-collected yard trimmings and food scraps processed at a composting facility, one Cart per Residential Customer included in Residential rate • 35, 65, and 95-gallon MSW collection service, one Cart per Residential Customer included in Residential rate

Note: The Cit ies are requiring that Proposers provide a variable rate for the different residential MSW container sizes such that smaller MSW container service is offered at a lower cost than the larger MSW container options to reflect the reduction in disposal costs associated with smaller container volumes. This variable rate structure is not required for recyclable materials and co-collected food scraps and yard trimming collection services.

Item: 14
274

35 In other words, the basic rate for residential collection will be proposed for the following categories:

• One 95-gallon MSW cart with one or two recyclables carts of any size, and one food scrap/yard trimmings cart of any size
• One 65-gallon MSW cart with one or two recyclables carts of any size, and one food scrap/yard trimmings cart of any size
• One 35-gallon MSW cart with one or two recyclables carts of any size, and one food scrap/yard trimmings cart of any size

Effective July 1, 2025 , the selected Proposer will provide a residential single stream program with processing at a clean MRF and a co-collected residential food scraps/yard trimmings collection program with processing at a composting facility or an anaerobic digestion facility . Proposers shall provide residential rates for both composting and anaerobic digestion processing methodologies in Proposal Form 29.

Per AB 1594, the City will not consider rates that include use of ADC as a means to process and dispose of yard trimmings or any other material collected in the Cities (See Article 7 of the Agreement in RFP Section 6 for the prohibition on use of materials collected in the Cities for ADC.) In Proposal Forms 16 and 17, Proposers will describe their proposed residential Food Scrap and Yard Trimmings collection/processing technology.

Proposal Form 2 9 “Proposed Rates to be Charged ” requires Proposers to list the key assumptions made in proposing the cost of different dive rsion services , including collection costs, processing costs, disposal costs, and capital costs.

The selected Proposer will be required to provide replacement food scrap kitchen pails to residents using the rates in Proposal Form 29 “Proposed Rate to be Charged.” Proposers shall include specifications for the type of kitchen pails that they propose to use , and information for how they plan to distribute these containers to residents who request a replacement, in Proposal Form 23 “Kitchen Food Scraps Container.”

3.1.2.2 Commercial and Multi-Family Diversion Programs

The principal diversion collection services to be provided for all multi-family properties include:
• Single-stream recyclables collection, AND
• Food scrap diversion collection, OR
Item: 14
275

36 • Yard trimmings collection OR
• Co-collected Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps

The principal diversion collection services to be provided for commercial businesses include:

• Single-stream recyclables collection, AND
• Food scrap diversion collection, OR
• Yard trimmings collection OR
• Co-collected Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps

Multi-family properties and commercial businesses that can document a yard trimming recycling program provided through their landscaping contractor that meets SB 1383 requirements for diversion will not need to obtain collection service from the selected Proposer for yard trimmings, following appropriate verification by the Cities.

These same services shall also be provided to all temporary bin, temporary roll off and permanent roll off customers and all compactor customers.

The cost of reducing the amount of MSW that goes into the landfill (as required by AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383) can be allocated across the entire rate base.

Based on analysis conducted by the Cities and their consultant, a rate for diversion services that is 50% of the cost of equivalent MSW service provides a sufficient cost-incentive for generators in the commercial and multi -family sectors to incorporate state-mandated diversion programs.

The rates proposed for the collection and processing of divertible materials collected from commercial and multi -family, including single-material recyclable materials, single -stream recyclable materials, yard trimmings and food scrap recycling, commercia l and multi -family co -collected yard trimmings and food scraps, shall provide a 50% rate incentive to equivalent MSW service.

Per the requirements of SB 1383, all customers must have both a recyclable material and a food scrap/yard trimmings recycling program in place unless the customer has received a City-issued de minimis and/or physical space constraint waiver . Both Cities adopted a mandatory local ordinance requiring businesses to implement SB 1383 -mandated programs. The ordinances will complement the selected Proposer’s efforts in effectuating Item: 14
276

37 the adoption of food scrap and yard trimmings diversion programs at all commercial and multi-family properties. As noted in the background sections, both Cities have near full participation in SB 1383 programs. The Cities anticipate that the focus during the term of the Agreement will be to increase generator participation in the programs, reduce contamination, and to ensure all enclosures have containers and are receiving a minimum of weekly collection service for all 3 streams (MSW, recycling, and food sc raps/yard trimmings) per the regulatory requirements.

The detailed Scope of Work for each of the above-mentioned services is contained in Attachment B of the Agreement. Proposers are encouraged to carefully review all of the programs required in the Scope of Work.

The selected Proposer will be required to provide one (1) internal collection receptacle to businesses upon request by the customer. Proposers shall include specifications for the type of internal collection container that they propose to use in Proposal Form 24 “Commercial Internal Food Scrap Container.”

3.1.3 MSW Collection Services

The selected Proposer will provide solid waste collection services for residential, commercial, and business establishments within the Cities as more fully described in the Scope of Work contained in Attachment B of the Agreement. Residential MSW collection will be once weekly, automated collection. The base residential service includes collection of one MSW cart, up to two (2) single stream recycling carts, and one co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings cart each with 35, 65, or 95 gallons in capacity once per week.

Residential customers can also add an additional, third (or more) single stream recycling carts, a second (or more) MSW carts, and a second (or more) co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings carts at an additional charge at the rates that will be in Attachment D.

As noted above, Proposers shall provide variable rates for different sized Residential MSW carts in Proposal Form 29 “Proposed Rates to be Charged.”

Commercial cart and bin service, roll-off, and compactor services will be provided by the selected Proposer. Roll-off and compactor service may be on a regular schedule or may be completely "on-call", at the discretion of the customer. The Scope of Work for each of these programs is contained in Attachment B of the Agreement.

3.1.4 Cross-jurisdictional Routing Efficiencies
Collection efficiencies will be gained through cross -jurisdictional routing for commercial and residential services, including special services such as bulky item collection, e-waste collection, HHW, white goods, etc. The Cities’ consultant estimates that these cross - jurisdictional routing efficiencies can reduce costs by $1.5 - $3.0 million per year through the need for fewer collection vehicles, the elimination of routes due to combined collection efficiencies, less fuel usage due to eliminated routes, and other factors. Proposers will be Item: 14
277

38 required to complete Proposal Form 27 quantifying how cross -jurisdictional collection route efficiencies will reduce the cost of providing collection service and how these cost savings will be passed along to ratepayers. Proposers shall factor these cross - jurisdictional routing efficiencies into the rates in Proposal Form 29a, where indicated.

To further maximize commercial and multi -family efficiencies and reduce truck trips on the Cities’ streets, the City is requiring that cart grippers be installed on commercial front- loaders to allow them to also service Commercial and Multi -family MSW, Food Scraps, Recyclable Materials, and Co -Collected Food Scraps and Yard Trimmings Carts on the same route as Bin customers for these commodity types. The Cit ies are requiring that Proposers indicate the number of front loader Commercial collection vehicles will be outfitted with cart grippers to service both Bin and Cart Customers on the same route in Proposal Form 27.

3.1.5 Cross-jurisdictional Routing Tonnage Allocations
Proposers will be required to install and maintain on-board scales for all commercial front- end loader collection vehicles. These scales will record the gross weight of the containers collected and ‘net out ’ the container weights to determine the net weight of materials collected at each commercial account. The on-board scale data will be used to determine exact weights of materials collected at commercial and multi -family bin customers for each City that will be included in Proposer-provided reports. The Proposer’s plan to incorporate on -board scales shall be included in Proposal Form 30. For residential accounts and commercial cart customers that are collected on cross-jurisdictional routes, Proposer shall use the allocation methodology provided in Attachment CC to the Agreement.

The Cities are also required to collect tonnage data that is accurately divided between commercial and multi-family customers. To this end, the Agreement requires that the selected Proposer has on-board scales installed on all vehicles that service mixed commercial and multi-family collection routes such that the weights of containers serviced in each sector and can accurately reported based on data collected from on- board scales.

3.1.6 Processing Facilities

NOTE: Proposal Form 2 9 “Proposed Rates to be Charged ” requires all Proposers to submit rates for the types of processing facilities described below.

Proposers must use a Clean Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). This can be a facility owned by the Proposer or a facility where the Proposer has a written agreement that ensures adequate processing capacity and a delivery schedule that will meet the needs of the Cities. The Clean MRF must include processing lines for cleanup of single material recyclables and the sorting of single stream recyclables. See Section 7 of the Agreement for the minimum guaranteed annual MRF capacity the selected Proposer must provide.

Item: 14
278

39 As noted, Proposer s will be required to provide residential rates for residential co - collected food scraps and yard trimmings taken to both 1) a composting facility, and 2) an anaerobic digestion facility. The Cities will decide which type of processing they desire for the co -collected food scraps and yard trimmings as part of the proposal evaluation process. Both the Anaerobic Digestor and the Composting Facility must be capable of processing Food Scraps and Yard Trimmings collected from residential customers.

For commercial and multi -family food scraps, Proposers shall select which type of processing facility they will use for commercial and multi -family food scraps, yard trimmings, and co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings (i.e., composting, anaerobic digestion, or co-digestion). Proposers will use the dropdown menus provided in Proposal Form 29 for rate tables 2-5, 8-10, 13-15, and 20. Proposers may choose the most cost - effective organics processing methodologies for materials collected on the commercial and multi-family routes.

Detailed information regarding the proposed processing facility for commercial and multi- family organics, including gate fees and transfer costs, shall be provided in the tab titled ‘Assumptions’ in Proposal Form 29. Proposers shall include in the description of their proposed Processing Facilities, how Food Soiled Paper and Compostable Plastics will be handled. See Article 7 of the Agreement for the minimum guaranteed annual food scrap/yard trimmings processing capacity the selected Proposer must provide.

The Construction and Demolition Debris Processing Facility must be capable of processing all the construction and demolition debris that is collected by the selected Proposer in the Cit ies and must also be capable of achieving the CALGreen facility diversion rate of 65% or higher. Should the diversion rate established by CALGreen and/or the Cities be increased, the selected Proposer is required to meet or exceed the new diversion rate.

As noted in the background section, there are several equestrian residential neighborhoods in the Cities, including Nellie Gail in Laguna Hills, that currently place stable bedding in the curbside co -collected yard trimmings and food scraps container.

Proposers will be required to provide pricing for residential stable bedding collection service, both via curbside Cart collection and via 3-yard bin service, in Proposal Form 29.

Proposers shall complete Proposal Form 26 to provide detailed information about the facility to which stable bedding materials will be delivered.

Proposal Forms 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 26 are to be used to provide detailed information and costs for each of the processing facilities to be used. Please note that for these proposal forms to be considered complete, the forms must include either a statement that the facility (MRF, Compost Facility, C&D Processing Facility, etc.) is owned by the Proposer, or must include a signed agreement between the Proposer and the facility Item: 14
279

40 owner stating the capacity reserved for the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills , the dates (timeframe) for which the capacity is guaranteed for the Cit ies, the tons, delivery times, and details of processing equipment and methods that will be used, expected residue percentages based upon actual facility experience, gate fee, transport costs, and markets where the materials will be sold. All proposed processing facilities must be fully permitted by the date of submittal of proposals in order for Proposal Forms 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 26 to be considered as responsive and complete.

3.1.14 Edible Food Donation Programs – Selected Proposer to Cooperate and Assist with Cities’ and Regional Efforts

Per SB 1383, all cities are required to divert, via edible food donation programs, 20% of the edible food waste that was disposed of in 2014 , by the year 2025. The Cities are coordinating with local food pantries and regional food donation programs to ensure the Cities’ food service establishments have cost -effective and convenient access to edible food donation programs. The selected Proposer shall assist with the Cities’ efforts as described in Attachment B to the Agreement.

The selected Proposer will likely see a minor reduction in the tonnage of MSW and food scraps being contributed to programs as a result of the widespread adoption of state - mandated edible food recovery programs during the term of the Agreement. As noted elsewhere, Proposers shall conduct their own independent investigation and assessment of the impact of SB 1383 requirements on proposed operations and tons projected to be Item: 14
285

46 collected. The Cities make no warranty as to the quantity or quality of food scraps or any stream of materials that may be present during the term of the Agreement.

3.1.15 Provision of Bin Sensors

The Cities are requiring Proposers to provide rates for a pilot b in sensor program for interested commercial/multi-family bin-service accounts; and rates for an optional City - wide bin sensor program. Bin sensors will enable account managers to remotely monitor bin fullness levels, service confirmation, overflow events and to provide fullness insight over time to allow the ‘right -sizing’ of containers that are being overserviced. The Cit ies will have access to the information from the sensors for all accounts , and customers will have individual access to sensor data from bins associated with their account. To comply with state -mandated contamination monitoring requirements, the Cit ies are requiring camera-based bin sensor technology be provided by Proposers. Camera -based bin sensors can photograph bin contents, identify potential contamination types, send automatic alerts to customers when contamination or overages are detected, provide calculations for right-sizing collection service, and can monitor bin fullness in real-time. At this time, Pello sensors are camera-based. There may be other comparable vendors and technology available. In Proposal Form 25 “Bin Sensors to be Provided by Con tractor,” Proposers shall provide rates for both the pilot program and the optional City -wide program that are described for the implementation of bin sensors in the Cit ies. In Form 25 Proposers will describe the vendor and technology being proposed. Additional detail about the bin sensor program is included in Article 8.04.G.1 of the Agreement.

3.1.16 HHW and Sharps Collection Programs

The selected Proposer shall provide two (2) doorstep HHW, U-waste, E-waste, and sharps collections per single-family resident per year at no additional charge to the residents. Additionally, Proposer shall provide 2 annual HHW drop-off events, one in each City, where residents may drop-off HHW, e-waste, and u-waste. Proposers shall provide unlimited sharps collection for residents via a mail-back program. Proposers shall provide information regarding their proposal for the HHW and sharps collection programs in Proposal Form 3 1 “HHW and Sharps Collection Program Details.” Section 4.2.1 of Attachment B includes details regarding the HHW recycling program and Section 4.4 of Attachment B includes details regarding the sharps collection program.

3.1.17 Annual Bulky Item Collection Event

In addition to the two on -call Residential Bulky Item Collections per calendar year per Residential Customer, o nce annually in each City , Proposer shall arrange for a single - family residential curbside bulky item collection event by appointment that will allow local charity(ies) to have first right to salvage bulky items left out by residents. In addition, Proposer shall provide collection containers and staff for a 1-day bulky item drop-off at a Item: 14
286

47 centralized facility located in each City in the same week as the Bulky Item annual collection event. Bulky Item collection shall also be provided at multi -family complexes with enclosures. See Section 4.1.2 of the Scope of Work in Attachment B of the Agreement for the requirements for multi -family Bulky item services. Proposers shall provide additional information about Bulky Item services to be provided in Proposal Form

48 4 BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS

4.1 COMPENSATION TO SELECTED PROPOSER

The selected Proposer will charge customers not more than the maximum rates established for services rendered pursuant to the Agreement. The maximum rates will be the rates proposed by the selected Proposer in Proposal Form 29 “Proposed Rates to be Charged” for services that will begin July 1, 2025. Proposal Form 29 will become an attachment to the final Agreement.

The rates on Proposal Form s 29a-c will not be adjusted for inflation or otherwise between the submission of these proposal forms and the start of collection of services in July 1, 2025. Therefore the proposed rates must be in 2025 dollars.

Proposal Form 29 contains three (3) separate rate schedules. Proposal Form 29a is the main rate schedule that will be used at the inception of the Agreement and will contain the cross-jurisdictional efficiencies between the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills.

Proposal Forms 29b and 29c will serve as alternate rate schedules in the unlikely event that one of the Cities terminates its’ Agreement with the selected Proposer during the term of the Agreement . In such event, the rates for the remaining City that did not terminate its’ Agreement with the selected Proposer will become those in Form 29b or 29c (depending upon which City remains).

Proposers shall complete all 3 rate schedules for all rates . as part of Proposal Form 29 assuming the following three scenarios:

1) Proposal Form 29a. Proposal Form 29a must contain the p roposed rates to be charged assuming cross -jurisdictional efficiencies between the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills . The rate schedule in Proposal Form 29a, will become Attachment D -1 to the Agreement and will be used at the inception of the Agreement and throughout the term of the Agreement unless an Agreement with the selected Proposer is terminated by one of the Cities.

2) Proposal Form 29b. Proposed rates for the City of Lake Forest only, assuming no cross-jurisdictional efficiencies. The rate schedule in Proposal Form 29 b, will become Attachment D-2 to the Agreement).
3) Proposal Form 29c. Proposed rates for the City of Laguna Hills only, assuming no cross-jurisdictional efficiencies. The rate schedule in Proposal Form 29 c, will become Attachment D-3 to the Agreement)
Item: 14
288

49 The following three cost components shall be included in the rates charged to residents and businesses:

1. Regulatory Compliance Cost (RCC)

2. SB 1383 Procurement Compliance Costs for Compost and Mulch (PCC)

3. Pavement Impact Costs (PIC)

The Cities will provide via an Addendum to this RFP, the cost of each of the above three (3) components in the Agreement for each City. In Proposal Forms 29a-c, Proposers are required to allocate these three costs to each rate line item for each City. The City may adjust these costs based on changes in the actual costs incurred using the processes in Attachment W. Any changes in these costs incurred by the City will lead to adjustments in the cost components associated with each rate in Proposal Forms 29a -c per the methodology included in Attachment W.

In Proposal Forms 29a-c, Proposers shall fill in the rates for each level and type of service.

Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, processing cost , disposal cost, and capital costs to calculate a ‘base rate’. To determine the rate for each City, Proposers shall calculate the Regulatory Compliance Cost component, SB 1383 Procurement Compliance Cost component, and Pavement Impact Cost component for each rate item based on the costs for these three components provided by the Cities and add these components to the ‘base rate’. The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the Agreement appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Agreement Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass -through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. Note: Capital cost components of the rates will not be adjusted in future years.

The cost of reducing the amount of MSW that goes into the landfill ( which is required by AB 939 and SB 1383 ) can be spread across the entire rate base. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in Proposal Forms 29a-c.

Within the categories of: Residential; Commercial & Multi-Family; Permanent Compactor and Roll-Off; Temporary Bins; Temporary Roll Offs; Permanent Roll Off; Compactor and Special Events ; and Other Services ; the Proposer must fill in r ates for each of the following types of collection, processing and disposal services:

1. Collection of MSW hauled directly to the landfill.

Item: 14
289

50 2. Collection of single stream and single -material recyclable materials for processing at a Clean MRF.

3. Collection of source-separated food scraps and processing at a Composting Facility, Anaerobic Digestion Facility, or Bioengineered Feedstock Facility.

4. Collection of source-separated yard trimmings and processing at a Composting Facility or Anaerobic Digestion Facility.

5. Co-collection of food scraps and yard trimmings for processing at a Composting Facility or Anaerobic Digestion Facility.

Detailed information on these programs is contained in the attached Agreement and in Attachments B (Scope of Work) and A (Definitions).

The selected Proposer shall bill and collect revenues from customers. The revenue collected by the selected Proposer for these services along with revenues from the sale of diverted materials shall be the sole source s of compensation for services rendered pursuant to Section 14.01 of the Agreement.

4.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

The selected Proposer must perform all of the services included in the Agreement. For non-performance of specified services, the liquidated damages listed in Section 15.09 of the Agreement will apply.

4.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO COSTS

Article 14 of the Agreement describes the methods for adjustment of the collection and processing portion of the rates on an annual basis throughout the term, beginning on July 1, 2026. As noted above, the disposal cost is only adjusted when the actual landfill tip fee increases.

4.4 BONDS, INSURANCE AND GUARANTY

The selected Proposer is required to provide a performance bond and insurance coverage as described in Article 13 of the Agreement. The selected Proposer must also execute a Guaranty from either its parent company or its owner(s). The form and format of the performance bond appears in Attachments L and M of the Agreement and the Guaranty appears in Attachment Z.

Attachment D.1 - Maximum Rates to be Charged Assuming Cross-Jurisdictional Efficiencies between Lake Forest and Laguna Hills Fill in the rates proposed as the maximum rates to customers below for each level of service assuming cross-jurisdictional routing efficiencies between the two cities (Laguna Hills and Lake Forest). Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, processing cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in this form. Best practices have identified that a Divertible materials collection rate that is 50% of the MSW rate obtains optimal generator participation. As noted in Section 6. MSW Rate Sheet commercial MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at 50% the rate for MSW. The rate proposed for collection of commercial, multi-family, temporary bin, temporary roll off, permanent roll off and compactor customers for divertible materials must be 50% lower than the rate proposed for collection of MSW materials. # Sector/Stream Description Size

MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at the 50% reduced rate as requested by the City. Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in this form. Best practices have identified that a Divertible materials collection rate that is 50% of the MSW rate obtains optimal generator participation. As noted in Section 6. MSW Rate Sheet commercial MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at 50% the rate for MSW. The rate proposed for collection of commercial, multi-family, temporary bin, temporary roll off, permanent roll off and compactor customers for divertible materials must be 50% lower than the rate proposed for collection of MSW materials. # Sector/Stream Description Size

Attachment D.1 - Maximum Rates to be Charged Assuming Cross-Jurisdictional Efficiencies between Lake Forest and Laguna Hills Fill in the rates proposed as the maximum rates to customers below for each level of service assuming cross-jurisdictional routing efficiencies between the two cities (Laguna Hills and Lake Forest) and assuming that all Commercial and Multi-family Divertible Materials (i.e. Single-stream Recyclables, Food Scraps and Yard Trimmings) will be provided at a collection rate that is half the cost of equivalent MSW service. MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at the 50% reduced rate as requested by the City. Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in this form. Best practices have identified that a Divertible materials collection rate that is 50% of the MSW rate obtains optimal generator participation. As noted in Section 6. MSW Rate Sheet commercial MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at 50% the rate for MSW. The rate proposed for collection of commercial, multi-family, temporary bin, temporary roll off, permanent roll off and compactor customers for divertible materials must be 50% lower than the rate proposed for collection of MSW materials. # Sector/Stream Description Size Frequency of Collection Collection Component (85% Labor and 15% Fuel) Disposal Component Non-escalating Capital Component
