Brian McNerney, City of Bellflower Public Safety Director, stated that the PSO builds public trust through long-term staffing and consistency, and stated that there is no clear data showing the PSO directly lowers crime rates, but the program provides benefits such as increased community engagement and reduced response times to routine calls, enabling deputies to focus on higherpriority incidents.

In response to Councilmember Cuevas’s question, Municipal Services Director Reyes stated that, based on discussions with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), the planned work days for the PSO would be Monday through Friday.

Quarterly Summary of the

This report summarizes the October 16, 2025, South Bay Workforce Investment Board’s (SBWIB) meeting activities and program accomplishments during the 1st Quarter of Program Year (PY) 2025-2026.

This Annual Awards Ceremony gave the SBWIB an opportunity to celebrate dedicated partners and customers, who continually strive for success, by showcasing individual, business, and partner success stories and highlighting training provider job placement rates. This year, Dr.

Brenda Thames, President/CEO of El Camino College received the Esther Williams Award of Excellence. During the Ceremony, the SBWIB also recognized the Centinela Valley Union High School District, and one (1) former participant from the City of Lawndale. Net proceeds generated from the event will go towards sustaining and funding various youth-oriented programs and events. *The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) and the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) is in the planning stage for the Disability Access, Equity, and Inclusion (DAEI) Initiative. The SBWIB and DOR were awarded $993,000 by the Employment Development Department to implement a project that supports lasting cross-systems collaboration, co-enrollment, co-case management, and cross training with a goal of improving employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities. The SBWIB and DOR partnership will be strengthened through this project by allowing the development of sustainable plans to serve individuals with disabilities by co-

locating services, streamlining referrals processes, sharing data, regularly communicating, and having joint training sessions. The SBWIB will serve as the lead under the project coordinating services, ensuring compliance, and fostering partnerships with educational and community-based organizations including West Los Angeles College and El Camino College. Funding will be used to co-enroll a total of forty (40) individuals with disabilities into DOR and SBWIB programs to receive quality counseling, training, and employment placement services by April 30, 2027. The funding will also be utilized to support training for front-line staff and managers, employer engagement, and systems development to ensure that future participants with disabilities will benefit from workforce programming and services. *The Regional Equity and Recovery Partnerships (RERP) grant reflects the SBWIB’s broader commitment to reshaping how workforce systems support underrepresented community college students facing barriers to employment in the creative sector. As the lead agency for the Los Angeles Region’s RERP initiative, in partnership with higher education partners such as West Los Angeles College and El Camino College paid work experience and on-the-job training opportunities, as well as comprehensive supportive services will be provided to one hundred and twenty-two (122) community college students by December 31, 2026. The first quarter totals reflect that, one hundred and four (104) students have been enrolled in the program, twenty-five (25) of whom have already successfully been placed into employment. The South Bay WIB manages fiscal oversight, partner coordination, and compliance infrastructure for the grant. A new cohort of nineteen (19) El Camino College students will begin their paid work experience assignments during the Fall semester.
*Three hundred and fifty-one (351) additional incumbent workers across the South Bay Region were enrolled under the SBWIB’s Employment Training Panel (ETP) Multiple Employer Contract last quarter. The enrollees received upskills training that resulted in boosting productivity and career advancement opportunities.

SBWIB Awarded $1 Million via California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grant to Expand Pre-Apprenticeship Pathways for Disadvantaged Youth
HAWTHORNE – The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) has been awarded a $1 million California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) implementation grant from the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and its Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS). This funding will support 125 disadvantaged youth ages 16–24 through paid pre-apprenticeship training, wraparound services, and direct entry into Registered Apprenticeship Programs across multiple high-demand sectors.

The grant is part of a statewide $15.4 million investment awarded to 29 programs through COYA, designed to align opportunity youth—often disconnected from school or employment—with career pathways in high-demand industries. This is the second round of COYA funding, following an initial $31 million that supported 51 projects across California.

Local Youth will prepare for careers in healthcare, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, bioscience, automotive, aviation, education, and digital media through the SBWIB’s pre-apprenticeship programs called, Aero Flex, Space Flex, Bio-Flex, AME Flex and others, with training for occupations like Aerospace Assembly Technician, Production Technician, and Digital Media Editor. Each participant will receive industry-aligned training, an educational stipend, and supportive services. Funding will be invested in sector-based technical skills training.
“Our goal is to deliver high-quality, accessible career pathways for youth,” said SBWIB Executive Director Jan Vogel. “The COYA grant enables us to embed equity and support services into every aspect of the program, ensuring that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds can succeed.” The project leverages 15 core partners including the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC), OSI Systems, and Oak Crest Institute of Science, with major employers and institutions such as Northrop Grumman, El Camino College, and West Los Angeles College also engaged.

The COYA initiative prioritizes youth from historically underserved groups—foster youth, youth of color, justice-involved youth, young parents, low-income individuals, and youth with disabilities—who meet criteria such as Pell eligibility, WIOA status, Title I school enrollment, or residence in high-poverty areas.

California’s broader apprenticeship expansion is part of Governor Newsom’s Master Plan for Career Education, which sets a goal of serving 500,000 apprentices by 2029.

The SBWIB Pre-Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship offerings are employer-driven training programs that have proven to be successful in developing and upskilling current employees while increasing the pipeline of a future workforce.

SUBJECT:

Consideration of the Recognized Payment Obligation Schedule (ROPS) 26-27 and the Administrative Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027

BACKGROUND
ABx1 26 ended redevelopment in California. That legislation, along with AB 1484, sets the rules and procedures for the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Successor agencies were created by ABx1 26 to settle the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies.

Under current state law, successor agencies are annually provided with tax increment funds to pay the debts of the former redevelopment agencies. Successor agencies must prepare a recognized obligation payment schedule (ROPS) annually.

The county auditor controllers use the ROPS to determine the amount of tax increment it will give to successor agencies for each annual ROPS period. After a successor agency prepares a ROPS, the payment schedule is reviewed and approved by the successor agency’s oversight board and then approved by the California Department of Finance (DOF).

As of July 1, 2018, pursuant to state law, oversight authority has been transferred to the Los Angeles County Second District Consolidated Oversight Board (“LACSDCOB”). LACSDCOB has formed five consolidated oversight boards, one encompassing each of the five supervisorial districts.

In prior ROPS periods, the DOF and the Oversight Board for the Lawndale Successor Agency have approved the following ROPS and the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller has provided the funding required for the obligations listed in the following schedules:
1 st ROPS (January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012)
2 nd ROPS (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012)
3 rd ROPS (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013)
ROPS 13-14A (July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013)
ROPS 13-14B (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014)
ROPS 14-15A (July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014)
ROPS 14-15B (January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015)
ROPS 15-16A (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015)
ROPS 15-16B (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016)
ROPS 17-18A (July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016)
ROPS 17-18 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018)
ROPS 18-19 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019)
ROPS 19-20 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020)
ROPS 20-21 (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021)
ROPS 21-22 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022)
ROPS 22-23 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023)
ROPS 23-24 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024)
ROPS 24-25 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025)
ROPS 25-26 (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026)
ROPS 26-27 (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027)

STAFF REVIEW
The next ROPS 26-27 (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027) must be submitted to the DOF by February 1, 2026.

The Lawndale Successor Agency approved the attached proposed ROPS 26-27 on December 1, 2025 and directed staff to forward the ROPS 26-27 to the Oversight Board for its consideration of the ROPS to allow the ROPS 26-27 to be forwarded to the DOF to meet the February 1, 2026 deadline. The ROPS is an exhibit to Attachment B.

Along with the ROPS, an administrative budget for the Lawndale Successor Agency must be approved by the Oversight Board and DOF for the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 period (See Attachment A). Staff kept the administrative cost the same at $200,000. In this vein, the ROPS 26-27 lists the following Successor Agency Obligations:

1. Bond Debt Service – debt service payment for the Redevelopment Agency’s 2009 bonds.

2. California I-Bank – debt service payment for the California Infrastructure Bank loan that was used to improve Hawthorne Boulevard.

3. Successor Agency Staff and Supplies (Administrative Allowances) – Funding for staff and supplies needed to operate the Successor Agency.

4. Successor Agency Audit – Funding for the preparation of the annual Successor Agency Audit.

5. Repayment of Loans to the City of Lawndale - The former Redevelopment Agency borrowed funds from the City. Beginning with the ROPS 14-15B, the Successor Agency began repaying those loans to the City.

6. Repayment of Debt to the Housing Fund – The former Redevelopment Agency owed money to its low and moderate income housing fund. The Successor Agency will receive tax increment to pay the housing fund debt. The Lawndale Housing Authority will receive the funding and use it to create affordable housing.

Lawndale Successor Agency staff also requests that the Oversight Board authorize staff to change the ROPS 26-27 and/or the Administrative Budget if needed to satisfy requests from the DOF.

SUBJECT: Approve Second Amendment to Street Sweeping Services Agreement

BACKGROUND
The City has contracted with CleanStreet for street sweeping services for the past 25 years. During this time, the company has been reliable and has consistently provided satisfactory service to Lawndale. Under the current agreement, CleanStreet provides sweeping services for 56 curb miles of residential streets once per week; business district streets twice per week; Hawthorne Boulevard five times per week; and alleys once per week. Medians and City parking lots are serviced once every two weeks. In total, the company sweeps approximately 157.4 curb miles each week. The current agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2025.

STAFF REVIEW
On December 18, 2023, the City Council approved the current agreement, which removed CleanStreet’s responsibility for disposal services because the City assigned that task to Republic Services, the City’s solid waste franchise hauler. However, on March 4, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to shift disposal responsibilities back to CleanStreet after determining that the arrangement with Republic Services was not feasible.

A Second Amendment is now needed to extend the agreement for one additional year, as it is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. CleanStreet has agreed to the extension and has requested a three percent (3%) rate increase of $22,047 for the period of January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. With this adjustment, the new annual cost will be $389,503, bringing the total contract amount to $756,958.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney reviewed the staff report and the Second Amendment and approved as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
Street sweeping services are funded through Gas Tax Funds under Street Maintenance – Contract Services.

The FY 2025–26 budget does not have enough available funds to cover the cost increase for the period of January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026. As a result, a budget appropriation of $11,022 will be necessary in Account #201-330-530.100 (Gas Tax - Contract Services).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve the Second Amendment to the street sweeping services agreement, extending the contract for one year – from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 at an additional cost of $22,047, resulting in a new annual agreement cost of $389,503; and

2. Authorize an additional appropriation of $11,022 to the FY2025-26 budget to cover the increased costs.

Direction for Request for Proposal - Community Development Department's Building and Safety Services

BACKGROUND
On April 20, 1964, the County of Los Angeles and the City formally enter into an agreement for building plan check and inspection services for the enforcement of Building Code, Plumbing Code, and Electrical Code. A copy of the original contract is attached as Exhibit A (Agreement).

In November 2025, executive staff from the County's Department of Public Works informed the City that they intend to terminate the Agreement effective July 1, 2026 and they are providing us with advance notice prior to issuing the written notification to terminate the Agreement.

It is staff understanding that Building and Safety services for all existing contract cities are being terminated by the County with similar termination dates. Some contact cities have already completed their Request For Proposals (RFP) to replace the County for building and inspections services with private engineering firms.

Cities with similar agreements for building and inspection services with the County are:

Artesia, Cerritos, Industry, Irwindale, La Canada Flintridge, Lakewood, La Mirada, Lawndale, Lomita, Santa Fe Springs, and Westlake Village.

STAFF REVIEW
Staff is being proactive and drafted a RFP to procure Building and Inspection services from private engineering firms.

For comparison purposes, highlighted below are the services and personnel provided by the County.

One Combination Building Inspector -
5 hours a day of billable services
6 building inspections per day (note, some inspections could take an hour) Up to 2 hours a day to interface with customers and residents for general inquiries and inspection notes and prepare of daily inspections.

One Senior Civil Engineering Assistant -
Currently working 10 to 20 hours per week to review City projects for structural and building code compliance
Currently, the Plan Check Engineer sets aside 4 hours once a week to interface with customers and residents regarding project inquries and general inquiries. Staff is recommending increasing their counter hours to 8 to better assist customers and residents.

To allow faster turnaround times, the City is requesting to hire at a Senior Civil Engeering Assistant or Associate Civil Engineer at 40 hours per week One Building Official - Assist in the day to day operations for approximately 2 hours of billable charges per week.

The City also utilizes on call engineers to review electrical, geotechnical, grading, mechanical, and plumbing plans on as needed basis.

The purpose and services provided by the County's building and safety personnel is to ensure all construction, addition, remodels comply with the applicable building, structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical codes to protect the safety and general welfare of the community.

Staff is requesting that the chosen consulant bill the City at a flat hourly rate, rather than taking a percentage of the City's accured fees from building permits and plan check fees.

Scope of services
LA County currently charges approxmately $35,000-40,000 a month to provide these services. In addition, the City spends an additional $10,000 - $11,000 a month for a permit technician through 4 Leaf Inc.

Below is a tentative timeline for the transition.

RFP out by December 2025
RFP's review by January 2026
RFP applicants reviewed and recommended to Council by February 2026 Selected contract firm hired to start by April 1, 2026. Community Development needs at least two months or so for the transition so it is seamless for our customers and residents We will keep ALL County Codes adopted by reference and fees.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
Currently, Community Development staff request for direction will not have a fiscal impact. Once staff reviews all submitted RFPs, staff will provide the fiscal impact analysis at the Council Meeting when a contract firm is selected.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize staff to move forward with the RFP process; or

2. Provide further direction to staff.

Therefore, the representative shall be responsible during the term of this Agreement for directing all activities of Consultant and devoting sufficient time to personally supervise the services hereunder.

[INSERT CONSULTANT NAME]

The City may designate another Contract Officer by providing written notice to Consultant.

4.3 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment. The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Consultant, its principals and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement.

A prohibited transfer or assignment shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Consultant or any surety of Consultant of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

4.4 Independent Contractor. Neither the City nor any of its employees shall have any control over the manner or means by which Consultant or employees, perform the services required herein, except as otherwise set forth herein. Consultant shall perform all services required herein as an independent contractor of City and shall remain under only such obligations as are consistent with that role. Consultant represents and warrants that the personnel used to provide services to the City pursuant to this Agreement are classified by Consultant as employees. Consultant shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its employees are employees of City. City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Consultant in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Consultant. In the event that Consultant or any employee of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a federal or state agency, a court of competent jurisdiction, or the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) to be classified as other than an independent contractor for the City, then Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for the payment of any and all assessed fines, penalties, judgments, employee and/or employer contributions, and any other damages and costs assessed to the City as a consequence of, or in any way attributable to, the assertion that Consultant or any staff Consultant used to provide services under this Agreement are employees of the City.

A policy of commercial general liability insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01, with an edition date prior to 2004, or the exact equivalent. Coverage for an additional insured shall not be limited to its vicarious liability. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits.

[INSERT CONSULTANT NAME]

Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three (3) years after completion of the services required by this Agreement.

All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance. The general liability policy shall name the City, its officers, employees and agents ("City Parties") as additional insureds and shall waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City and the City's Parties and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.

All of said policies of insurance shall also provide that said insurance may be not cancelled without providing ten (10) days prior written notice by registered mail to the City. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled or amended, Consultant shall, prior to the cancellation or amendment date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Section 5.1 to the Contract Officer.

No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until Consultant has provided City with Certificates of Insurance or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by City.

Consultant agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Consultant is otherwise responsible. If the Consultant’s insurance policies have higher limits and coverage than those required by this contract, the City will have access to those higher limits and coverage maintained by the Consultant.

The insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide or The Key Rating Guide, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City due to unique circumstances.

In the event that the Consultant is authorized to subcontract any portion of the work or services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain pursuant to this Section 5.1.

5.2 Indemnification.

When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant's services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for the statutory limits set forth under California Civil Code Section 2782,8 applicable to services provided by a “design professional”, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and the City's Parties from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, its officers, employees of subcontractors (or any entity or individual for which Consultant shall bear legal liability) in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

Other than in the performance of design professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and City's Parties from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys' fees and costs, court costs, defense costs and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, employees or subcontractors of Consultant.

therefrom. Except as necessary for the performance of services under this Agreement, no documents prepared under this Agreement may be released by Contractor to any other person or entity without City’s prior written approval.

6.4 Confidentiality of Information. All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement will be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor may not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the City Manager, except as may be required by law. Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents, may not, without prior written authorization from the City Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney of City, voluntarily provide declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the services performed under this Agreement.

Response to a subpoena or court order will not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. If Contractor, or any officer, employee, or agent of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City will have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. Contractor must promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the services performed under this Agreement. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor.

However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite such response. All media and press releases, including graphic display information, must be approved and distributed solely by City, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by City. All media interviews regarding the performance of services under this Agreement are prohibited unless expressly authorized by City.

7.0 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.

7.2 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise [INSERT CONSULTANT NAME]
-11-
such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.3 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all work or services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation and City shall be entitled to reimbursement for any compensation paid in excess of the services rendered.

7.5 Completion of Work After Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.6 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the matter proceeds to judgment, and to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, including all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

8.0 CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION

8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

8.2 Conflict of Interest; City.

Consultant shall comply with all conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, City's Conflict of Interest Code which is on file in the City Clerk's office. Accordingly, should the City Manager determine that Consultant will be performing a specialized or general service for the City and there is substantial likelihood that the Consultant's work product will be presented, either written or orally, for the purpose of influencing a governmental decision, the Consultant and its officers, or employees, as applicable, shall be subject to the City's Conflict of Interest Code.

8.4 Covenant Against Discrimination. Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry.

SUBJECT:

Appropriate Additional Funding for FY 23/24 Street Rehabilitation and FY 24/25 Sidewalk Replacement Project

BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2025, City Council awarded a construction contract to Sequel Contractors, Inc. for the FY 2023- 24 Street Rehabilitation and FY 2024-25 Sidewalk Replacement Project. At the same time, a separate contract was awarded for construction inspection services with SAAssociates, Inc.

The total allocated funds for this Capital Improvement Project was $2,201,000 from FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 annual budgets using various funding sources. The project cost breakdown was as follows:

Total Allocated Funding $ 2,201,000.00
Construction Bid Amount $1,799,139.48
Construction Contingency $269,870.92
Construction Inspection Services $110,000.00
Total Project Cost: $2,179,010.40
Remaining Balance of allocated funds: $21,989.60

STAFF REVIEW
The project construction started on July 14, 2025, and was completed within the 80 working days the contract allowed, October 25, 2025.

During construction, staff identified the opportunity to complete additional work related to street improvements, such as repairing a sinkhole on 166th Street between Condon Avenue and Inglewood Avenue that had been identified as a future project, which allowed for the addition of 165th Street and 166th Street to the paving project. Repairing the sink hole as part of this project resulted in savings of at least $100,000.

Additionally, due to the low bid costs, paving of Condon Avenue between 154th Street and 153rd Street was added to this project, as well as significant concrete quantities at various locations as listed below:
429 linear feet of curb and gutter
6,052 square feet of sidewalk
3,557 square feet of driveway approach
1,598 square feet of cross gutter/concrete spandrel
8 curb ramps
In addition, staff designed the project in-house rather than contracting with an external design consultant, saving the City between $100,000 to $200,000.

Other project savings resulted from the contract with SA Associates, Inc. for construction inspection services as a result of completing the construction ahead of schedule. The original contract was for $110,000. The final cost for these services amounted to $79,256, resulting in $30,744 in savings.

The funding required to cover the cost of the additional quantities, including materials, labor, and equipment amounts to approximately $17,000, which is less than one percent of the total project cost. These extra funds are already included in the total project budget. At this time staff is requesting appropriation of the remaining project funds to cover the shortfall.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is $21,989.60 left in the project's General Funds account 100-310-700.300, sufficient to cover the requested appropriation of $17,000.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council

1. Authorize the appropriation of funds in the amount of $17,000.00 to the FY 2023-24 Street Rehabilitation and FY 2024-25 Sidewalk Replacement Project; and

2. Approve the Contract Amendment with Sequel Contractors, Inc. to increase it by $17,000.
