The Fourth of July Parade was a wonderful success thanks to the outstanding contributions from the Parade Committee (“Committee”), Public Works Department, and Police Services. The Committee began meeting monthly in February to help plan the logistics of this year’s parade.
Committee members were responsible for recruiting new members, new entertainment, parade entries, organizing the line-up, route logistics, judging the entries, and various other duties the day of the event. The Committee chose the theme, “Lake Forest Thrives in 2025” and the Grand Marshal, Bob Dunek.
Former City Manager Bob Dunek served the City of Lake Forest from 1996 until 2017. He listened to residents' needs and had a large influence on Community Service programming with the opening of the Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest and the Lake Forest Sports Park.
Tonight, staff recommends the City Council recognize the dedicated Parade Committee volunteers, special groups that assisted with event coordination, sponsors, and winning parade entries. A sample certificate is provided as an attachment to this report (Attachment).

ECONOMIC UPDATE

▪
▪
▪
Recent economic data suggest slower growth in 2025 and greater market uncertainty as the effects of fiscal policy unfold. Inflationary trends have subsided, but some components remain sticky, and core levels remain above the Fed’s target. The labor market reflects improved balance between supply and demand for workers. While job creation has moderated, the unemployment rate remains low; however, continuing jobless claims remain elevated implying a less robust labor market. Given the economic outlook, we expect gradual normalization of monetary policy and a steepening yield curve.
As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the Federal Funds Rate unchanged at the range of 4.25 - 4.50% at the June meeting. Fed Chair Powell continued to emphasize the Committee’s “waitand see” approach amidst economic uncertainty that remains elevated but diminished. Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two rate cuts in 2025.
US Treasury yields declined in June. The 2-year Treasury yield fell 18 basis points to 3.72%, the 5-year Treasury dropped 17 basis points to
3.80%, and the 10-year Treasury yield also declined 17 basis points to 4.23%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve edged up to +51 basis points at June month-end versus +50 basis points at May month-end. The spread between the 2- year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was -36 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was -7 basis points in June, versus -6 basis points in May.

The U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, exceeding consensus expectations, and the last two months were revised up by 16,000.
Gains were primarily driven by state and local government education, while job growth in service sectors languished. The three-month moving average and six-month moving average payrolls totaled 150,000 and 130,000 respectively. The unemployment rate declined to
4.1% in June from 4.2% in May, due to a shrinking labor force. The labor participation rate dipped to 62.3%, remaining below the pre- pandemic level of 63.3%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons dropped to 7.7% in June. Average hourly earnings fell slightly, marking a 3.7% year-over-year increase.

The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index droppedto 93.0 in June from 98.4 in May, as consumers’ assessment of both the current situation and future expectations for income and labor markets soured.
While the consumer has been resilient, elevated inflation expectations, concerns about trade policies and tariffs, and general economic and policy uncertainty could pose potential risks to future spending. 0 20

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) fell by 0.3% in June, following a flat reading in May. The LEI decreased by 4.0% year- over-year. The Conference Board is expecting economic growth to slow substantially in 2025 due to consumer pessimism, persistently soft manufacturing new orders, and rising first-time jobless claims. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) improved to -0.28 in May from a downwardly revised -0.36 in April.

Multi-family starts drove the gain, while single-family starts fell on weak buyer demand. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged approximately 6.8% in June. According to the Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, housing prices rose 3.4% year-over-year in April, compared to 4.1% in March.

Inventories and production improved as companies worked through backlogs, while employment and new orders contracted. The ISM Services index increased to 50.8 in June from 49.9 in May, as new orders improved. However, ongoing concerns about the impact of tariffs remain. A reading over 50 indicates expansion, while a reading under 50 indicates contraction.

This marks the first negative quarter since 2022.
The primary driver of the downward revision was weaker personal consumption expenditures. Net exports remained the primary drag on growth, as imports rose sharply in anticipation of higher tariffs. Gross investment contributed positively, powered by business decisions to get ahead of possible cost increases. The consensus projection calls for 2.1% growth for the second quarter and 1.5% for the full year 2025.

As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the Federal Funds Rate unchanged at the range of 4.25 - 4.50% at the June meeting. In the Summaryof Economic Projections (SEP), Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two rate cuts in 2025, while downgrading estimates for economic growth and raising forecasts for both unemployment and inflation this year. The statement indicated that uncertainty about the economic outlook remained elevatedbut had diminished. The monthly redemption capon Treasuries will remain at $5 billion, while the cap on agencies and mortgage-backed securities will be maintained at $35 billion. Since the Fed began its Quantitative Tightening campaign in June 2022, securities holdings have declined by about $2.2 trillion to approximately $6.7 trillion.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 8/19/2025
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT:
SECOND AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENTS WITH DE NOVO PLANNING GROUP, LSA ASSOCIATES, INC., AND SAGECREST PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
FOR ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the Second Amendment for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with De Novo Planning Group (“De Novo”) for On-Call Environmental Consultant Services.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with De Novo substantially in the form attached.
3. Approve the Second Amendment for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with LSA Associates, Inc. (“LSA”) for On-Call Environmental Consultant Services.
4. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with LSA substantially in the form attached.
5. Approve the Second Amendment for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with Sagecrest Planning and Environmental (“Sagecrest”) for On-Call Environmental Consultant Services.
6. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Sagecrest substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Community Development Department utilizes on-call environmental consultants to support the City’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and other environmental requirements. These services include, but are not limited to, preparation of technical studies, initial studies, negative declarations and/or mitigated negative declarations; peer review of
2 3
6 6
5 environmental documents and technical studies; and expert testimony before decision-making bodies.
On October 19, 2021, the City Council approved three-year Professional Services Agreements with De Novo, LSA, and Sagecrest (Attachments 1–3), each with a not-to-exceed amount of $120,000. To provide greater flexibility in fulfilling on-call needs, staff pursued multiple contracts through a competitive Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process. Like other consultant contract awards for services, awarding more than one professional services contract provides the City with greater flexibility to fulfill on-call consulting needs.
On October 14, 2024, the City Manager approved the First Amendments for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with each consultant (“First Amendments”) (Attachments 4-6). The First Amendments extended agreement terms for each of the three consultants one year to October 19, 2025, and updated hourly billing rates per Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The not-to- exceed amount of $120,000 remained the same for all three agreements.
The terms of all three First Amendments are set to expire on October 19, 2025.
In anticipation of the upcoming term expirations, staff engaged in negotiations to exercise the second of two available one-year term extensions.
Should the City Council approve the proposed Second Amendments for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with each consultant (“Second Amendments”) (Attachments 7-9), the terms of the agreements would incorporate the following changes:
• Extend agreement term by an additional year through October 19, 2026; • Increase total compensation; and
• Update hourly billing rates per Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) guidelines.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department utilizes on-call environmental consultants to support the City’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and other environmental requirements. These services include, but are not limited to, preparation of technical studies, initial studies, negative declarations and/or mitigated negative declarations; peer review of environmental documents and technical studies; and expert testimony before decision-making bodies.
On May 18, 2021, the City Manager approved the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for On-Call Environmental Consultant Services to solicit proposals from qualified
3 3
6 6
5 consultants. Staff strived to secure multiple consulting firms for on-call, as- needed environmental services to ensure the City can meet the anticipated demand for environmental services for the following reasons:
a) Each firm may vary in the availability of experienced staff during the agreement term, depending on placements with other clients. In instances where one firm does not have sufficient personnel available at an experienced level to supplement City staff, the multiple-consultant contract approach allows greater flexibility in assigning work to one of the other consultants without delay.
b) Utilizing multiple firms expands the pool of potential contract personnel, providing a greater breadth of technical expertise to meet the City’s needs for each specific project.
To receive services from one of the existing on-call environmental agreements, staff must solicit informal proposals from each firm. Staff then select the most qualified proposal received via a rating criterion. On occasion, one or two consulting firms are unable to provide services or are unresponsive to the City’s request for proposals needed per the informal procurement process. A pool of on-call environmental consultants offers a range of cost proposals, allows multiple firms to propose on a project, and yields additional opportunities for firms to work with the City on projects.
The City solicits project-based cost proposals for small-dollar contracts ($50,000 or less) based on workload. This approach eliminates the need to prepare individual RFPs for applicant-initiated projects that require technical review, saving staff and the applicant time and streamlining the entitlement process.
RFPs will continue to be solicited for larger projects (agreements with compensation amounts expected to exceed $50,000), with the recommended firm presented to the City Council for approval.
On October 19, 2021, the City Council awarded three-year Professional Service Agreements to the following consultants for on-call environmental services, with total compensation amounts of $120,000 each (“Original Agreements”):
• Agreement with De Novo (Attachment 1)
• Agreement with LSA (Attachment 2)
• Agreement with Sagecrest (Attachment 3)
On October 14, 2024, the City Manager approved the First Amendments for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with each consultant (“First Amendments”) (Attachments 4-6). The First Amendments extended agreement terms one year to October 19, 2025, and updated hourly billing rates
4 3
6 6
5 per CPI guidelines. The not-to-exceed amount (“NTE”) of $120,000 remained the same for all three agreements.
DISCUSSION:
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in projects requiring CEQA technical studies or informing decisions related to environmental matters. Each of the three consulting firms’ agreements will remain active until the full compensation amount is fully expensed, or the terms of the agreements expire (currently October 19, 2025); whichever comes first. Table 1 below shows the remaining compensation for each vendor as of June 2025. It is anticipated that the remaining funds within the agreements would be expended toward short-term assignments such as review of technical studies, preparation of complex environmental exemptions, as well as environmental documentation for City- initiated projects.

Sagecrest $120,000 $29,267.40 $90,732.60 75.61%
The terms of all three First Amendments are set to expire on October 19, 2025.
In anticipation of the upcoming term expirations, staff engaged in negotiations to exercise the second of two available one-year term extensions. Article 3.3.5 in each of the agreements also allows the consultant to request an adjustment in compensation at the time of renewal.
The proposed Second Amendments for Professional On-Call Environmental Consultant Services with each consultant (“Second Amendments”) (Attachments 7-9) would extend the agreement terms an additional year, increase total compensation, and update hourly billing rates per Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) guidelines as stated in the 2021 contract. Table 2 below provides a breakdown of the specific agreement changes per vendor.

De Novo
De Novo’s On-Call Environmental Agreement (“De Novo’s Agreement”) is set to expire on October 19, 2025. In anticipation of the upcoming term expiration, staff engaged in negotiations to exercise the second of two available one-year term extensions. Article 3.3.5 of De Novo’s Agreement also allows the consultant to request an adjustment in compensation at the time of renewal.
Per Article 3.3.5, De Novo requested billing rates to reflect a CPI increase for all urban consumers in Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange Counties as stipulated in Exhibit “C” Compensation of the Original Agreements. Billing rates increased up to 3.42% per the applicable CPI.
The proposed Second Amendment to De Novo’s Agreement (Attachment 7) would extend the Agreement term one final year to October 19, 2026, and update hourly billing rates per CPI guidelines as stated in the Agreement and First Amendment. Through June 2025, De Novo has performed $41,205 worth of work, thus $78,795 (66%) of the current not-to-exceed compensation remains available. De Novo has been approved $49,696 for an applicant-initiated project.
Calculating in the project’s budget, De Novo currently has $29,099 available for future small-dollar, project-based cost proposals (less than $50,000) under the current contract term (October 19, 2025). Staff propose to increase compensation by $70,000, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $190,000 for the duration of the proposed contract term (October 19, 2026).

The City’s Guidelines allow for an extension based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service.
During the term of De Novo’s Agreement, the vendor has provided very satisfactory on-call environmental services.

LSA
LSA’s On-Call Environmental Agreement (“LSA’s Agreement”) is set to expire on October 19, 2025. In anticipation of the upcoming term expiration, staff engaged in negotiations to exercise the second of two available one-year term extensions.
Article 3.3.5 of the LSA’s Agreement also allows the consultant to request an adjustment in compensation at the time of renewal.
Per Article 3.3.5, LSA requested billing rates to reflect a CPI increase for all urban consumers in Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange Counties as stipulated in Exhibit “C” Compensation of the Original Agreements. Billing rates increased up to 3.42% per the applicable CPI.
The proposed Second Amendment to LSA’s Agreement (Attachment 8) would extend the Agreement term one final year to October 19, 2026, and update hourly billing rates per CPI guidelines as stated in the Agreement and First Amendment. Through June 2025, LSA has performed $76,929.11 worth of work, thus $43,070.89 (35.89%) of the current not-to-exceed compensation remains available. LSA has been awarded two City-initiated projects totaling $15,350.
Calculating in the project budgets, LSA currently has $38,536.31 available for future small-dollar cost proposals (less than $50,000) under the current contract term (October 19, 2025). Staff propose to increase compensation by $80,000, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the duration of the proposed contract term (October 19, 2026).

Recommendation
Consistent with the Guidelines and upon performing a vendor assessment, staff recommend approval of the proposed Second Amendments for Professional On- Call Environmental Consultant Services with De Novo, LSA, and Sagecrest. If the Second Amendments (Attachments 7-9) are approved, the new term will expire on October 19, 2026. The not-to-exceed amounts will increase depending on the vendor as mentioned in Table 1. The Second Amendments were prepared by the Community Development Department and approved by the City Attorney as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the recommended action is the potential to spend up to an additional $180,000 for On-Call Environmental Services, a portion of which would be reimbursable. Sufficient funds are allocated in the 2025-2027 Operating Budget.

3.2.11.10 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.
3.2.11.11 Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A:VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.
3.2.11.12 Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppel).
Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
3.2.11.13 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Appendix are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
3.2.11.14 Insurance for Subconsultants. Consultant shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for Consultant relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the Consultant's policies, or the Consultant shall be responsible for causing (BB&K 2019)

Under the direction of the Community Development Department, such services may include, but are not limited to:
1. Preparation of technical studies, initial studies, negative declarations, and/or mitigated negative declarations.
2. Peer review of environmental documents from outside agencies.
3. Preparation of technical studies.
4. Peer review of technical studies provided by applicants.

3.2.11.12 Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppal).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 8/19/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR LAKE FOREST SPORTS PARK SYNTHETIC TURF REPLACEMENT (25P02)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Find that FieldTurf USA, Inc. has completed construction of the Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project (25P02).
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 the 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 15, 2025, the City Council awarded a $1,107,402.23 construction contract to FieldTurf USA, Inc. for the Lake Forest Sports Park Synthetic Turf Replacement Project (25P02). A single change order in the amount of $7,500 was approved by the City Manager to add lacrosse field striping to Field A, bringing the total contract value to $1,114,902.23. Construction began in late May and was substantially completed on June 25, 2025.
Following final inspection and acceptance by the City’s Senior Landscape Administrator, the project is now ready for formal Notice of Completion. Staff recommends City Council approval and authorization to release any unencumbered retention per California law. Sufficient funds exist in the 2023– 2030 Capital Improvement Plan to cover the project costs and the recommended actions.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2023–2030 Strategic Plan and 2023–2025 Capital Improvement Plan, the City initiated the Synthetic Turf Replacement Project at the Lake Forest Sports Park. The project replaced synthetic turf fields that had exceeded their useful life and warranty period. The new turf fields, installed by the original manufacturer FieldTurf USA, Inc., are substantially similar to the previous system and include enhanced durability and new striping for multipurpose use, including lacrosse.
To ensure cost efficiency, the City utilized the California Multiple Award Schedule (“CMAS”) Agreement, allowing for discounted pricing, elimination of contractor markup, and preservation of the ten-year manufacturer warranty.
DISCUSSION:
Construction began in June 2025 and was substantially completed on June 25, 2025. All project elements, including turf removal, minor grading, base preparation, and installation of Vertex Prime 2” synthetic turf, were completed per contract specifications. Final inspection was conducted by the City’s Senior Landscape Administrator, who confirmed that the installation met all contract requirements. The City Manager approved one change order that added lacrosse striping to Field A for a total of $7,500 bringing the total contract value to $1,114,902.23.
The Notice of Completion establishes the date that triggers the 30-day period for subcontractors or suppliers to file stop notices or liens, as provided by Section 9204 of the California Civil Code. Following Council approval, the Notice of Completion will be submitted to the County Recorder’s Office within fifteen days.
If no stop notices are filed, staff will proceed to release any unencumbered retention thirty days after recordation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The final construction cost of the project is $1,114,902.23. Sufficient funding exists within the 2023–2030 Capital Improvement Plan to cover the full cost. The recommended action authorizes the release of unencumbered retention in accordance with applicable law.

MEETING DATE: 8/19/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
ACCEPTANCE OF TOLL BROTHERS IMPROVEMENTS AND RELEASE OF BONDS FOR TRACT 18142
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Accept as complete the tract improvements and monumentation constructed by Toll Brothers West, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for Tract 18142.
2. Authorize the City Clerk to release the Subdivision Improvement Monumentation Bond in the amount of $23,850.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved Final Tract Map No. 18142 (Attachment 1) for a 76-numbered and 10-lettered lot subdivision, and a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Toll Brothers West, a Delaware corporation (“Toll”). These approvals enabled Toll to construct 75 single-family homes and a neighborhood park (lot 76). Of the ten lettered lots, four are for open space and landscape purposes, four are for private street purposes, and two are for private driveway purposes. The Homeowners Association (“HOA”) will maintain all ten lettered lots.
In accordance with the agreement, Toll is responsible for constructing all improvements including streets, curb and gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, and the common open space improvements. The bonds for these improvements are included with the bonds for tract 19124. Thus, the only bond required for Tract 18142 is the Monumentation Bond for $23,850. All improvements for Tract 18142 are private and will be maintained by the HOA.
On March 24, 2025, the city received a letter from Toll requesting release of the monumentation bond associated with Tract 18142 (Attachment 2). Toll’s engineer, Hunsaker & Associates, provided a letter dated February 10, 2025, (Attachment 3) stating that all survey monuments required by Tract 18142 were set and that they were paid for the work. Staff recommend the City Council accept the monumentation for Tract 18142 and authorize the release of the Subdivision Improvement Monumentation Bond.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is minimal fiscal impact to the City as the HOA will maintain all improvements.

DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BRIGHTLIFE DESIGN,
LLC FOR SEASONAL AND YEAR-ROUND LIGHTING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Brightlife Designs, LLC for Seasonal and Year-Round Lighting Services.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk attest, the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Brightlife Designs, Inc, substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City displays holiday and year-round lighting on El Toro Road from the I-5/El Toro Road interchange to Muirlands Boulevard, year-round lighting at The Arbors, and on the Civic Center Campus’ signature tree located in the roundabout. Lighting installation and maintenance services are currently provided by Brightlife Designs, Inc. (“Brightlife”) through an agreement approved by the City Council on September 29, 2021 (“Brightlife Agreement”) (Attachment 1).
On September 3, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Brightlife Agreement (Attachment 2). The scope of work for the First Amendment included expanded holiday lighting options called for in Initiative #52 of the Strategic Plan. Initiative #52 was allocated a $50,000 budget. The expanded options included the addition of 31 more lit trees on El Toro Road (a total of 71 lit trees), installation of two large wreaths to the Arbor Structures, and non- illuminated garland to the Alton Parkway sign. The 2024 Holiday Lighting Display received positive reviews for both the addition of the large wreaths on the Arbor Structures and the non-illuminated garland on the Alton Parkway sign. The total cost to produce the 2024 Holiday Lighting Display was $43,315.
The term of the Brightlife Agreement is set to expire on September 15, 2025. In anticipation of the upcoming term expiration, on May 20, 2025, staff gave a presentation to City Council giving highlights of the proposed 2025 Holiday Lighting Display and recommending the addition of non-illuminated garland to the three entrances of the Lake Forest Sports Park and Recreation Center (“Sports
3 6
6 0
Park”). The City Council directed staff to come back at a subsequent meeting with the necessary contract documents to effectuate the scope of work described by staff during the May 20, 2025, presentation.
The proposed Second Amendment would extend the Brightlife Agreement through September 15, 2026, through a one-year extension and increase the compensation by $45,555 (Attachment 3). The proposed Second Amendment would bring the total compensation amount for the Brightlife Agreement to $133,240.00. Sufficient funding is available in the 2025-2027 Operating Budget to cover the costs associated with the proposed Second Amendment.
The proposed Second Amendment would be the final extension of the current Brightlife Agreement. Staff plan to issue a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to procure a new seasonal and year-round lighting and décor contract in early 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The City displays seasonal and year-round lighting on El Toro Road from the I- 5/El Toro Road exchange to Muirlands Boulevard. Additionally, year-round lighting is provided at the Arbors and on the Civic Center Campus signature tree.
Lighting installation and maintenance services are currently provided by Brightlife.
The term of the Brightlife Agreement is set to expire on September 15, 2025. In anticipation of the upcoming expiration, staff engaged Brightlife in negotiations to exercise a one-year term extension.
On May 20, 2025, staff presented proposed plans for the 2025 Holiday Lighting Display to the City Council. Staff’s recommendation for the 2025 Holiday Lighting Display included all the items from the 2024 Holiday Lighting Display with the addition of non-illuminated garlands at all three entrances to the Sports Park.
The cost to add these additional decorations is $2,240. Staff was directed to return to a subsequent meeting with contract documents necessary to include the addition of non-illuminated garland at the Sports Park on the monument signs located at the Portola, Rancho and Vista Parkway entrances.
DISCUSSION:
The scope of work in the Brightlife Agreement includes the installation and maintenance of various lighting and decorations at designated locations. The Brightlife Agreement includes compensation for each year of lighting services over the course of the term. A description of lighting locations and seasonal décor, and their associated annual costs is provided in Table 1 below.

The proposed Second Amendment would extend the term of the Brightlife Agreement for one year until September 15, 2026, and increase the compensation by $45,555.00 (Attachment 3). If approved, the new total compensation amount would be $133,240.00. The Second Amendment would increase the scope of work in the Brightlife Agreement to include these new features:
• Installation/removal and maintenance of pre-lit Garland on the Arbor Structures.
• Installation/removal and maintenance of pre-decorated garland on the monument signs at the Sports Park entrances on Portola, Rancho and Vista Parkway entrances.
