In addition, the statement shall be limited to a recitation of the candidate’s own personal background and qualifications and shall not in any way make reference to other candidates for that office or to another candidate’s qualifications, character, or activities.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Deanna Fraley, PE, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with LAN WAN Enterprise IT Solutions and SOFFA Electric Inc. for on-call SCADA technology services for the City’s Water System
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve two separate Professional Services Agreements with LAN WAN Enterprise IT Solutions and SOFFA Electric Inc. for on-call SCADA technology services, each for threeyear terms, with two additional optional one-year term extensions, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for three years.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita owns and operates a municipal water system that relies on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology to monitor and control critical infrastructure, including wells, reservoirs, pump stations, and pressure zones. SCADA systems provide real-time data, alarm notifications, and remote operational capabilities necessary to maintain system reliability, regulatory compliance, and public health protection.
Due to the specialized nature of SCADA systems – which integrate industrial control hardware, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and communication networks, – the City relies on specialized contractors to handle SCADA programming, system integration, troubleshooting, and upgrades. Additionally, SCADA needs are intermittent and projectbased, making it inefficient to staff full-time positions dedicated solely to these functions.
To ensure continuity of operations and rapid response to system issues, many similarly sized municipalities rely on on-call SCADA services. This model allows agencies to access specialized expertise as needed without incurring the cost of maintaining full-time SCADA engineering staff. On-call agreements also provide flexibility to address emergency repairs, system expansions, and regulatory updates in a timely manner.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7d
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *25
2 Consistent with industry practice, the City has determined that establishing on-call SCADA professional services agreements is the most cost-effective and operationally efficient approach to maintaining and enhancing its water system control infrastructure.
DISCUSSION
The proposed on-call SCADA services will support the City’s ongoing operational, maintenance, and capital improvement needs. Services to be provided under the agreements may include, but are not limited to:
• SCADA system troubleshooting and emergency response
• PLC system technical support, configuration, application development and programming
• System integration and upgrades
• Data communications configuration and optimization
• Alarm management and reporting improvements
• Support for capital improvement projects and system expansions Work will be authorized on a task-order basis, allowing the City to assign projects as needed and maintain control over scope, schedule, and budget. This approach ensures that resources are used efficiently while maintaining flexibility to respond to both planned and unplanned system needs.
Establishing multiple on-call agreements allows the City to match specific project requirements with the most qualified firm, ensures availability of services, and promotes competitive pricing. The on-call structure also reduces procurement timelines for urgent work, enabling faster response to operational issues that could otherwise impact system reliability or regulatory compliance.
The use of on-call SCADA services is particularly important given the increasing complexity of water system operations and the need to maintain continuous monitoring and control capabilities. These agreements will help ensure that the City’s SCADA system remains functional, secure, and adaptable to future demands.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Professional Services Agreements with LAN WAN Enterprise IT Solutions in an amount not to exceed $200,000 and SOFFA Electric Inc. in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for on-call SCADA services for the City’s Water System each for three-year terms, with additional two optional one-year term extensions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Agreements are for $200,000 each for three years. Funding for these Agreements are appropriated in the Adopted Budget in the Water Enterprise Fund.

Any contract on a public works project entered into between the CONTRACTOR and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by CONTRACTOR on the project shall be returned to CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.

15. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *32
CONTRACTOR’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.
CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that THE CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is performed. THE CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
18. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. THE CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONTRACTOR’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.
Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *34
CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.
C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *35
E. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 above.
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
21. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. THE CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any Contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed Contractor and the terms of compensation.
22. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.
23. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONTRACTOR shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *36
disclosed during the CITY’S review of CONTRACTOR’S report or plans. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONTRACTOR. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONTRACTOR under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
24. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONTRACTOR’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONTRACTOR’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

regulations in connection with the Services and this Agreement. All violations of such laws and regulations shall be grounds for CITY to terminate the Agreement for cause.
13. PREVAILING WAGE.
A. Prevailing Wage. CONTRACTOR is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONTRACTOR agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws.
Upon request, CITY shall provide CONTRACTOR with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the CONTRACTOR’S principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and CONTRACTOR shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
B. Registration/DIR Compliance. If the services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). CONTRACTOR shall maintain registration for the duration of the project and require the same of any subcontractors. This project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractors that affect CONTRACTOR’S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONTRACTOR caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.
C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONTRACTOR certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *48
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.
D. Employment of Apprentices. CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices. Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.
E. CONTRACTOR or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between the CONTRACTOR and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by CONTRACTOR on the project shall be returned to CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.
F. CONTRACTOR agrees to bind every subcontractor to the terms of the Agreement as far as such terms are applicable to subcontractor’s portion of the work.
CONTRACTOR shall be as fully responsible to CITY for the acts and omissions of its subcontractor and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by its subcontractor, as CONTRACTOR is for acts and omissions of persons directly employed by CONTRACTOR. Nothing contained in these Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and CITY.
14. TERMINATION.
A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.
B. CONTRACTOR may terminate this Agreement. Notice will be in writing at least 30 days before the effective termination date.
C. In the event of such termination, CONTRACTOR shall cease services as of the date of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONTRACTOR shall, at CITY’s option, become CITY’s property, and CONTRACTOR will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.
D. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *49
A. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's negligent acts, errors, omissions, recklessness, willful misconduct, or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONTRACTOR’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONTRACTOR as required by Section 20, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.
16. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONTRACTOR’s professional services.
CONTRACTOR’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that THE CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is performed. THE CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employees while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
18. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. THE CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *50

Failure of CONTRACTOR to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
20. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *51
professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONTRACTOR’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.
Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *52
C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 above.
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
21. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. THE CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any Contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed Contractor and the terms of compensation.
22. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of final payment shall not release Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *53
claims expressly reserved in writing that have previously been submitted to the City. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.
23. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONTRACTOR shall correct, at its expense, all errors in CONTRACTOR’S work which may be disclosed during the CITY’S review of CONTRACTOR’S report or plans. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONTRACTOR. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONTRACTOR under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
24. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONTRACTOR’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONTRACTOR’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

Client acknowledges that if Client requires a Systems Integrator (as defined below) to perform on an accelerated schedule (i.e. pace faster than the Systems Integrator's normal business procedure as dictated by the Systems Integrator's standard business practices), the risk of errors in the design and development of hardware and software increases as do certain costs such as but not limited to, express shipping of incoming purchases to the Systems Integrator, charges for expedited manufacture, development and/or delivery of hardware and/or software to the Systems Integrator and, express shipping to Client by the Systems Integrator. Client agrees that upon Client's request to the Systems Integrator to perform on an accelerated basis, Client will compensate the Systems Integrator (at Systems Integrator's then prevailing rates) for the additional costs incurred and work required as a result of the accelerated pace of project execution.
SLOW TRACK:
A decelerated pace of project execution also causes additional work and costs. If Client decelerates the pace of project execution, Client shall bear the additional costs and expenses associated with such deceleration including but not limited to paying the Systems lntegrator for "spin-up" time (inefficiency caused by starting and stopping) at the System Integrator’s then prevailing rates. As used herein, “System Integrator” refers to any person or entity responsible for integrating software, hardware or other materials or equipment provided by SOFFA into Client’s computer network or other system(s).
TERMINATION:
Cancellations or stop-work requests by Client on any order or part thereof, must be made in writing. Notwithstanding any such request, Client agrees to pay SOFFA’s standard contract labor rate for all labor incurred, and SOFFA’s’ net material costs for all materials purchased for that order, including any restocking charges incurred.
If Client fails to comply with its obligations hereunder (including without limitation the full and timely payment to SOFFA), SOFFA may provide written notice of such default to Client and suspend further performance until such default is cured by Client. When such default is cured by Client, the amount to be paid for the Project will be equitably increased to account for SOFFA’s damages arising from such suspension (including without limitation demobilization and remobilization expenses and increased costs of performance) and the time for SOFFA to complete the Project will be equitably extended to account for such suspension. If Client fails to cure such default within 30 days of its receipt of such notice from SOFFA, SOFFA may terminate its agreement with Client by providing written notice thereof and recover from Client payment for all portions of the Project performed (in whole or in part) through the date of such termination, SOFFA’s demobilization expenses and other reasonable termination costs, the amount of expected overhead and profit SOFFA would have earned on the cancelled portions of the Project if not for Client’s default, and any collection costs incurred by SOFFA in obtaining payment due from Client.
14. Warranty. SOFFA warrants all equipment manufactured by SOFFA to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve (12) months OR as defined in the contract from date of shipment. All parts or products not manufactured by SOFFA will be covered only by the express warranty, if any, of the manufacturer. SOFFA’s above- described limited warranty does not extend to damage or wear caused by misuse, negligence, accident, corrosion, modification by Client, faulty installation, loss of product, or tampering in a manner to impair normal operation of the equipment. SOFFA reserves the ultimate right to determine implicitly or explicitly what is or is not covered by the warranty.
15. Ownership of Software. Title to the application software provided to Client by SOFFA under the Contract remains with SOFFA, and Client is subject to any third-party licenses. SOFFA grants to the Client a personal, paid-up, perpetual, nonexclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable license, without right of sub-license, to use said application software in the application for which the software was designed in conjunction with the specified equipment. Security / Password Maintenance becomes the sole responsibility of the Client upon acceptance of Certificate of Proper Operation (COPO).
16. Intellectual Property. SOFFA shall retain all rights, title and interest in all Intellectual Property (as defined herein) used, made or arising in connection with the Contract or otherwise provided or communicated to Client by or on behalf of SOFFA. Without limiting the foregoing, Client shall not use any drawings or specifications prepared by SOFFA, except for the purpose of confirming the quality of design and manufacturing of the products set forth in the attached proposal; and Client shall not photocopy, duplicate or in any way reproduce in whole or in part any drawings, specifications, or software which may be supplied by SOFFA; provided, however, that the Client may make copies of and use such software for Client's internal purposes only, and not for rendering services or selling products to third persons. The Client shall not sell, license, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer the Intellectual Property or any interest therein to anyone.

PREPARED BY: Deanna Fraley, PE, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Project List for the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Resolution No. 2026-22 for the submission of all required documentation for receipt of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds for Fiscal Year 2026–27; and authorize the City Manager to complete, sign and submit all required documentation.
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was signed into law on April 28, 2017. SB 1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes (12 cents), diesel fuel sales taxes (20 cents), and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments in future years. A percentage of this funding is deposited into the RMRA account and is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. Through the RMRA program, Lomita is projected to receive approximately $587,293 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2026–27.
In addition, the City expects to have an estimated carryover balance of RMRA funds of $1,374,000.
To access these funds, the City must submit its eligible projects through the CalSMART (California State Multimodal Application and Reporting Tool) system, which serves as the California Transportation Commission’s centralized platform for project tracking, expenditure reporting, and funding eligibility. Submitting the resolution containing the City’s FY 2026–27 Project List through CalSMART ensures compliance with SB 1 requirements and positions the City to receive its allocated funding for critical roadway improvements.

2 The RMRA project list for FY 2026–27 will include Zone G Street Reconstruction Project – Phases 3 & 4. This project includes the remaining streets of the Zone G Street Reconstruction Project as well as three additional streets citywide that are in poor and very poor condition.

Construction of overlay and reconstruction of certain segments of streets in Zone G (Walnut Street, Ebony Lane, Alcor Street, 252nd Street, and 247th Place) and additional street segments throughout the city (254th Street, 255th Street, and Doria Avenue). This includes cold milling and hot mix asphalt concrete overlay, or removal of the existing pavement section to a prescribed depth followed by the placement of a conventional flexible pavement section using a structural hot mix or a full depth asphalt where needed based on the City’s 2024 Pavement Management Program update and the project design.
The project also includes traffic loop replacement, pavement markings, pavement striping, and associated concrete work including ADA ramps, cross gutters, sidewalk panels, and curb and gutter. The estimated Project Schedule is from May 2026 to completion in June 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that the City will receive $587,293 in RMRA funding for FY 2026–27.
Additionally, the City has an estimated balance of $1,374,000 in carryover RMRA funds.
If approved by City Council, 100% of the funds will be used for pavement projects.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-22
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide.
B. SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City of Lomita are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year.
C. The City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
D. The City will receive an estimated $587,293 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026- 27 from SB 1.
E. This is the tenth year in which the City of Lomita is receiving SB 1 funding which will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, and increasing access and mobility options for the public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1.
F. The City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list.
G. The City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the communities priorities for transportation investment.
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *71
Resolution No. 2026-22
H. The funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate streets and roads throughout the City this year and of similar projects into the future.
I. The City’s 2024 Pavement Management Program update found that the City’s streets and roads are in a “very good” condition (weighted average Pavement Condition Index of 78.4) and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into a “very good” condition with a higher weighted average Pavement Condition Index.
J. The SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.
Section 2. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
Section 3. The following list of newly proposed projects will be funded in-part or solely with Fiscal Year 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
Project Title: Zone G Street Reconstruction Project – Phases 3 & 4 Project Description: Construction of overlay and reconstruction of certain segments of streets in Zone G (Walnut Street, Ebony Lane, Alcor Street, 252nd Street, and 247th Place) and additional street segments throughout the city (254th Street, 255th Street, and Doria Avenue). This includes cold milling and hot mix asphalt concrete overlay, or removal of the existing pavement section to a prescribed depth followed by the placement of a conventional flexible pavement section using a structural hot mix or a full depth asphalt where needed based on the City’s 2024 Pavement Management Program update and the project design. The project also includes traffic loop replacement, pavement markings, pavement striping, and associated concrete work including ADA ramps, cross gutters, sidewalk panels, and curb and gutter.

SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for Public Works Oversight Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $9900 Additional, for a Total Agreement Cost Not to Exceed $29,400.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for Public Works Oversight Services.
BACKGROUND
Following the departure of the former Public Works Director, the City entered into an agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc to provide interim Public Works Oversight Services during the transition in leadership within the Public Works Department. The Public Works Department oversees a wide range of critical municipal functions, including infrastructure maintenance, capital improvement projects, street operations, fleet management, facility maintenance, environmental compliance, stormwater requirements, and coordination with utility providers and contractors. Continuity in operational leadership is essential to maintaining service levels and advancing City initiatives.
DISCUSSION
During this transition, services were provided by Ahmad Ansari, who brings extensive municipal work and engineering experience assisting local agencies with infrastructure operations, capital improvement projects, contractor coordination, and departmental administration. Mr. Ansari provided executive-level support to ensure continuity of Public Works operations during the transition period.

2 The City has since hired a new Public Works Director and transition efforts have concluded. However, the original agreement amount and duration of services approved for interim oversight services exceeded the originally anticipated level of support. During the transition period, the Public Works Department continued advancing numerous operational initiatives, infrastructure projects, and service coordination efforts that required ongoing executive-level oversight and support.
FISCAL IMPACT
The attached first amendment to the agreement, if approved by the City Council, would increase the original contract amount by $9,900 for a total agreement amount not to exceed $29,400.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making.

CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONSULTANT’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSULTANT shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 17, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, Docusign Envelope ID: 164416A8-692A-4023-A986-017F22042D15 Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *80

A. CONSULTANT, at CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSULTANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
Automobile coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability form CA 0001 covering any auto (Code 1), or if Docusign Envelope ID: 164416A8-692A-4023-A986-017F22042D15 Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *81
Consultant has no owned autos, hired (code 8) and non-owned autos (Code 9).
4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSULTANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
Docusign Envelope ID: 164416A8-692A-4023-A986-017F22042D15 Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *82
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be canceled, except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY (or ten (10) days if cancellation is due to nonpayment of premiums).
C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
1. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
2. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
3. Failure on the part of CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.
4. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT’S behalf upon CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
Docusign Envelope ID: 164416A8-692A-4023-A986-017F22042D15 Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *83
19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.
20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.
21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY’S review of CONSULTANT’S report or plans. Should the CONSULTANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.
23. NOTICES. All communications to either party by the other party will be deemed made when received by such party at its respective name and address as follows:

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement with Terracon Consultants, Inc. for Environmental Impact Report Services Related to the U.S. Navy Property Conveyance Project at 26800 S. Western Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement with Terracon Consultants, Inc. for Environmental Impact Report Services related to the U.S. Navy property conveyance project at 26800 S. Western Avenue, in an Amount Not to Exceed $6,400 Plus $2000 Contingency, for a Total Agreement Cost Not to Exceed $28,300.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita continues to work collaboratively with the United States Navy on the conveyance of land to the City located at the Navy property commonly referred to as the “Navy Fields” for recreation use. As part of the federal property transfer process, the Navy requires completion of an Environmental Condition of Property (ECP) report prior to conveyance of the property to the City.
The ECP report is intended to document the environmental condition of the property and summarize existing environmental information, investigations, and any recognized environmental considerations associated with the site. Completion of the ECP is a standard component of the federal property transfer process and is necessary for the Navy to proceed with the transfer.
Previously, the City retained Terracon Consultants, Inc. to complete a Limited Site Investigation and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the property. Through this prior work, Terracon has developed familiarity with the site conditions, historical property information, and applicable environmental documentation. As a result, staff believes Terracon is well positioned to efficiently complete the ECP report required by the Navy.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7g
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *98
2 DISCUSSION
The proposed amendment with Terracon Consultants, Inc. would authorize the firm to prepare the Environmental Condition of Property report in coordination with City staff and the United States Navy. Services would include review of prior environmental documentation, evaluation of site conditions, preparation of the ECP report, and coordination with applicable stakeholders as necessary to support the property transfer process.
Given Terracon’s previous involvement with the project, utilizing the same consultant will provide continuity, reduce duplication of effort, and help streamline completion of the required documentation. Staff believes this approach is the most efficient and costeffective method to support the City’s ongoing efforts related to the future transfer of the Little League lot property.
Completion of the ECP report represents another important milestone in advancing the transfer process and the City’s long-term vision for the broader Navy Fields area and future community recreational opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The attached second amendment to the agreement, if approved by the City Council, would increase the original contact amount by $6,400 plus $2,000 contingency for unexpected costs for a total agreement amount not to exceed $28,300.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 4: Quality of Life & Livability – Creating vibrant spaces and services for all ages.
OPTIONS
Approve recommended action.

CHANGE ORDER 2
This Change Order 2 to the Agreement for Services dated 08/25/2025 (“Agreement”) is between City of Lomita CA (“Client”) and Terracon Consultants, Inc. (“Consultant”) for additional or changed Services to be provided by Consultant for Client on the Lomita Little League Project, as described in Agreement for Services. This Change Order is incorporated into and made part of the Agreement.
1. Scope of Services. The scope of the additional or changed Services is described in the Scope of Services section of Consultant’s Change Order Proposal, unless Services are otherwise described below or in Exhibit B to this Change Order (which section or exhibit are incorporated into the Change Order).
We understand the site is located at 26800 South Western Avenue in Lomita, Los Angeles County, California (a part of Los Angeles County Assessor Identification Number (AIN) 7442001907) and consists of approximately 6.2 acres of land. The site consists of three baseball fields, batting cages, an approximately 60-square foot (SF) storage shed, and an approximately two-story 500 SF snack bar and office building. The site is further improved with limited landscaping and utilities.
An Environmental Condition of Property (ECP) report will be performed consistent with the procedures included in ASTM D6008-22, Standard Practice for Determining the Environmental Condition of Federal Property and ASTM D5746, Standard Classification of Environmental Condition of Property Area. The purpose of this ECP is to assist the client in evaluating certain elements of the environmental condition of the property. This practice is intended to help a user to gather and analyze data and information in order to classify the site into one of the seven environmental condition property area types. Once documented, the ECP report may be used to support Findings of Suitable to Lease (FOSLs), or uncontaminated property determinations, or a combination thereof, pursuant to the requirements of CERFA and CERCLA SS 120(h). The ECP will be based on existing environmental information related to storage, release, treatment, or disposal of hazardous substances, munitions, or petroleum products on the property to determine or discover the obviousness of the presence or the likely release or threatened release of any hazardous substances or petroleum product. The potential for vapor migration will be addressed as part of the ECP and will be considered by Terracon in evaluation of recognized environmental conditions (RECs) associated with the property.
The draft report will be completed 20-25 business days from written notice to proceed.
2. Compensation. Client shall pay compensation for the additional or changed Services performed at the fees stated in the Change Order Proposal unless fees are otherwise stated below or in Exhibit C to this Change Order (which section or exhibit are incorporated into the Change Order).
Lump sum of $6,400 (Assumes one round of review/revisions if needed) All terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Change Order is accepted and Consultant is authorized to proceed.

The potential for vapor migration will be addressed as part of a Phase I ESA and will be considered by Terracon in evaluation of RECs associated with the site. If modifications to the scope of services are required, please contact us to discuss proposal revisions.
REC Definition
RECs are defined by ASTM E1527-21 as “(1) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release to the environment; (2) the likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release or likely release to the environment; or (3) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.” This ESA includes consideration of the movement of hazardous substances and petroleum products in any form, including migration of vapor in the subsurface. A de minimis condition is not a REC.
Review of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
There are a family of compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which are considered emerging contaminants of concern due to their mobility and longevity in the environment. PFAS have been used in many products, including but not limited to fire-fighting foam, anti-stick coatings, stain and water-repellent coatings, electroplating, and paper products, among others. On July 8, 2024, US EPA designated two PFAS compounds, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), including their salts and structural isomers, as hazardous substances under CERCLA; accordingly, PFOA and PFOS will be evaluated within the scope of E1527-21.
Physical Setting
The physical setting for the site will be described based on a review of the applicable USGS topographic quadrangle map, USDA soil survey, and selected geologic reference information.
Historical Use Information
A review of historical resources, where reasonably ascertainable and readily available, will be conducted in an attempt to document obvious past land use of the site and adjoining properties back to 1940 or when the site was initially developed, whichever is earlier. The following minimum selected references will be obtained and reviewed for the site and adjoining properties, if available:
◼ Historical topographic maps
◼ Aerial photographs (approximate 10 to 15-year intervals) Docusign Envelope ID: 0827703F-1E20-4BB6-9F83-CFAB690B7228 Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *111

The following additional historical resources will be reviewed for the site if determined by the Environmental Professional to be warranted, applicable and likely useful:
◼ Property tax file information
◼ Building department records
◼ Zoning records
◼ Prior environmental reports, permits
and registrations; or geotechnical

Pursuant to ASTM E1527-21, the client should engage a title company or title professional to undertake a review of reasonably ascertainable recorded land title records (or judicial records where appropriate) for environmental liens and activity and use limitations currently recorded against or relating to the site. Note that for ASTM E1527-21, title search information reports shall review land title records for documents recorded between 1980 and the present for purposes of environmental liens and activity and use limitations. If the client is unable to provide land title records (or judicial records where appropriate), an abstract firm may be contracted by Terracon to perform a review of land title records (or judicial records where appropriate) for an additional fee. Documentation of environmental liens and activity and use limitations, if recorded, will be provided in the land title records (or judicial records where appropriate). Note, however, unless specifically requested within three days of project commencement, Terracon will rely on the client to provide land title records (or judicial records where appropriate). If land title records (or judicial records where appropriate) are not provided for review in a timely manner, Terracon may conclude that the absence of records represents a data gap, which must be evaluated and documented in the final report.
The client and the current owner or their representative will be interviewed to provide information regarding past uses of the site and information pertaining to the use of hazardous substances and petroleum products on the site. Additionally, a reasonable attempt will be made to interview past owners, operators, and occupants of the site to the extent that they are identified within the scope of the ESA and are likely to have material information that is not duplicative of information already obtained through the assessment process.

Proposal for a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Lomita Little League | Lomita, CA
August 25, 2025 | Terracon Proposal No. PLA257518
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 4 Regulatory Records Review
Consistent with ASTM E1527-21, federal, state, and tribal databases, where applicable and within ASTM-defined minimum search distances from the nearest property boundary, will be reviewed for indications of RECs. A database firm will be subcontracted to access governmental records used in this portion of the assessment. Additional federal, state, and local databases may be reviewed if provided by the database firm.
Determining the location of unmapped facilities is beyond the scope of this assessment.
In addition to the database review and if customary practice for the site location, an attempt will be made to review reasonably ascertainable and useful local lists or records such as Brownfield sites, landfill/solid waste disposal sites, registered storage tanks, land records, emergency release reports, and contaminated public wells. A reasonable attempt will also be made to interview at least one staff member of any one of the following types of local government agencies: fire department, health agency, planning department, building department, or environmental department. As an alternative, a written request for information may be submitted to the local agencies.
The scope of work proposed herein includes up to two hours of regulatory agency file and/or records review, including client-provided reports and files. If the results of this initial review appear to warrant a more extensive review of applicable regulatory agency files and/or records, a cost estimate will be provided to the client for pre-approval.
Review of regulatory files and/or records, when authorized, will be for the purpose of identifying RECs. Please note that all requested files may not be available from regulatory agencies within the client’s requested project schedule.
Site and Adjoining/Surrounding Property Reconnaissance
A site reconnaissance will be conducted to identify RECs. The reconnaissance will consist of visual observations of the site from the site boundaries and selected interior portions of the site. The site reconnaissance will include, where applicable, an interview with site personnel who the client has identified as having knowledge of the uses and physical characteristics of the site. Pertinent observations from the site reconnaissance will be documented including:
◼ Site description
◼ General site operations
◼ Features, activities, uses, and conditions of the site relevant to identifying RECs The adjoining property reconnaissance will consist of visual observations of the adjoining/surrounding properties from the site boundaries and accessible public rightsof-way.

The lump sum fee is based on the assumptions and conditions provided at the time of this proposal.
The findings and conclusions presented in the final report will be based on the site’s current utilization, the anticipated future use of the site, if provided to Terracon, and the information collected as discussed in this proposal. Please note that we do not warrant database or third- party information (such as from interviewees) or regulatory agency information used in the compilation of reports.
Phase I ESAs, such as the one proposed for this site, are of limited scope, are noninvasive, and cannot eliminate the potential that hazardous, toxic, or petroleum substances are present or have been released at the site beyond what is identified by the limited scope of this ESA. In conducting the limited scope of services described herein, certain sources of information and public records will not be reviewed. It should be recognized that environmental concerns may be documented in public records that are not reviewed. This ESA does not include subsurface or other invasive assessments, vapor intrusion assessments or indoor air quality assessments (i.e., evaluation of the presence of vapors within a building structure), business environmental risk evaluations (unless specifically requested in Section 2.2 of this proposal), or other services not particularly identified and discussed herein. No ESA can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for RECs. The limitations herein must be considered when the user of this report formulates opinions as to risks associated with the site. No warranties, express or implied, are intended or made.
An evaluation of significant data gaps will be based on the information available at the time of report issuance, and an evaluation of information received after the report issuance date may result in an alteration of our opinions and conclusions. We have no obligation to provide information obtained or discovered by us after the date of the report, or to perform any additional services, regardless of whether the information would affect any conclusions, recommendations, or opinions in the report. This disclaimer specifically applies to any information that has not been provided by the client.

In the event Client uses a purchase order or other form to administer this Agreement, the use of such form shall be for convenience purposes only and any additional or conflicting terms it contains are stricken. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without prior written consent of the other party. Either party may terminate this Agreement or the Services upon written notice to the other. In such case, Consultant shall be paid costs incurred and fees earned to the date of termination plus reasonable costs of closing the Project.
3. Change Orders. Client may request changes to the scope of Services by altering or adding to the Services to be performed. If Client so requests, Consultant will return to Client a statement (or supplemental proposal) of the change setting forth an adjustment to the Services and fees for the requested changes. Following Client’s review, Client shall provide written acceptance. If Client does not follow these procedures, but instead directs, authorizes, or permits Consultant to perform changed or additional work, the Services are changed accordingly and Consultant will be paid for this work according to the fees stated or its current fee schedule. If project conditions change materially from those observed at the site or described to Consultant at the time of proposal, Consultant is entitled to a change order equitably adjusting its Services and fee.

10. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF USE OR OPPORTUNITY; LOSS OF GOOD WILL; COST OF SUBSTITUTE FACILITIES, GOODS, OR SERVICES; COST OF CAPITAL; OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.
11. Dispute Resolution. Client shall not be entitled to assert a Claim against Consultant based on any theory of professional negligence unless and until Client has obtained the written opinion from a registered, independent, and reputable engineer, architect, or geologist that Consultant has violated the standard of care applicable to Consultant’s performance of the Services. Client shall provide this opinion to Consultant and the parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute within 30 days, after which Client may pursue its remedies at law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to Kansas law.
12. Subsurface Explorations. Subsurface conditions throughout the site may vary from those depicted on logs of discrete borings, test pits, or other exploratory services. Client understands Consultant’s layout of boring and test locations is approximate and that Consultant may deviate a reasonable distance from those locations. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to reduce damage to the site when performing Services; however, Client accepts that invasive services such as drilling or sampling may damage or alter the site. Site restoration is not provided unless specifically included in the Services.
13. Testing and Observations. Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. Consultant will provide test results and opinions based on tests and field observations only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or exhaustive, and are conducted to reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client shall cause all tests and inspections of the site, materials, and Services performed by Consultant to be timely and properly scheduled in order for the Services to be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, contract documents, and Consultant’s recommendations. No claims for loss or damage or injury shall be brought against Consultant by Client or any third party unless all tests and inspections have been so performed and Consultant’s recommendations have been followed. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client assumes sole responsibility for determining whether the quantity and the nature of Services ordered by Client is adequate and sufficient for Client’s intended purpose. Client is responsible (even if delegated to contractor) for requesting services, and notifying and scheduling Consultant so Consultant can perform these Services. Consultant is not responsible for damages caused by Services not performed due to a failure to request or schedule Consultant’s Services. Consultant shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client’s contractor’s work or their adherence to the project documents, and Consultant’s performance of testing and observation services shall not relieve Client’s contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Consultant will not supervise or direct the work performed by Client’s contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods. The extension of unit prices with quantities to establish a total estimated cost does not guarantee a maximum cost to complete the Services. The quantities, when given, are estimates based on contract documents and schedules made available at the time of the Proposal. Since schedule, performance, production, and charges are directed and/or controlled by others, any quantity extensions must be considered as estimated and not a guarantee of maximum cost.
14. Sample Disposition, Affected Materials, and Indemnity. Samples are consumed in testing or disposed of upon completion of the testing procedures (unless stated otherwise in the Services). Client shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Consultant all documents and information known or available to Client that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature, or characteristic of any hazardous waste, toxic, radioactive, or contaminated materials (“Affected Materials”) at or near the site, and shall immediately transmit new, updated, or revised information as it becomes available. Client agrees that Consultant is not responsible for the disposition of Affected Materials unless specifically provided in the Services, and that Client is responsible for directing such disposition. In no event shall Consultant be required to sign a hazardous waste manifest or take title to any Affected Materials. Client shall have the obligation to make all spill or release notifications to appropriate governmental agencies. The Client agrees that Consultant neither created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any Affected Materials conditions at the site and Consultant shall not be responsible for any claims, losses, or damages allegedly arising out of Consultant’s performance of Services hereunder, or for any claims against Consultant as a generator, disposer, or arranger of Affected Materials under federal, state, or local law or ordinance.
15. Ownership of Documents. Work product, such as reports, logs, data, notes, or calculations, prepared by Consultant shall remain Consultant’s property. Proprietary concepts, systems, and ideas developed during performance of the Services shall remain the sole property of Consultant. Files shall be maintained in general accordance with Consultant’s document retention policies and practices.
16. Utilities. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client shall provide the location and/or arrange for the marking of private utilities and subterranean structures. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to avoid damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Consultant shall not be responsible for damage to subterranean structures or utilities that are not called to Consultant’s attention, are not correctly marked, including by a utility locate service, or are incorrectly shown on the plans furnished to Consultant.
17. Site Access and Safety. Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents necessary to commence and complete the Services and will execute any necessary site access agreement. Consultant will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any third parties, including Client’s contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site. In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time Consultant believes it is in the best interests of Consultant’s employees or subcontractors to do so in order to reduce the risk of exposure to unsafe site conditions. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant’s pre-task planning and risk assessment processes.

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Juan Ibarra, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Purchase and Installation of Cisco Firewall Equipment at Multiple City-owned Locations
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the purchase and installation of Cisco Firewall equipment at multiple City-owned locations in an amount not to exceed $32,678.
BACKGROUND
The City currently has firewall cybersecurity equipment at five City-owned locations.
Firewalls protect the City’s network and block unsolicited traffic and unauthorized access to the City’s network, scans incoming traffic in real time, and stops malicious activity. The system of firewalls significantly enhances the security of the City’s cyber network and sensitive data.
DISCUSSION
The City’s current firewall equipment models across all locations are on the last year of their recommended life span. Firewall equipment is generally good for three to five years and replacing them every five years is standard Information Technology (IT) practice to protect our network against rapidly evolving cyber threats.
The City’s IT provider provided the City with three different options to address the outdated Firewall equipment.
The first option is to retain the current firewall equipment and renew the service for one year. This option is not recommended due to the age of the equipment and the potential exposure to cyber threats. The cost for this option is $5,029.94. The second option is to purchase and install new equipment through the current manufacturer, along with purchasing one-year service that provides hardware replacement if needed, software

2 updates, and technical troubleshooting. The cost for this option is $26.407.90. The last option is to purchase and install new equipment with a new manufacturer, Cisco, and include its one-year service plan for hardware replacement if needed, technical support, and advanced security services (malware protection, intrusion prevention). The cost for this option is $32,677.95.
Staff recommends the third option because Cisco provides superior network performance, enhanced security features, comprehensive support/services, and advanced threat intelligence to safeguard the City‘s network. If approved, the new firewall equipment will be installed at five City owned location.
FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase and installation of the Cisco firewalls will not exceed $32,678. Sufficient funding is available within the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 budget to support this expenditure.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safety & Security - Keeping Lomita safe, prepared and resilient.
OPTIONS
1. Approve recommended action.
2. Provide staff with alternate direction.

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Susan Kamada, Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services Director
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Employee Service/Recognition and Commissioner Awards Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve proposed amendments to the Employee Service/Recognition and Commissioner Awards Policy.
It is recommended that the City Council:
• Approve Resolution No. 2026-23 amending to the Employee Service/Recognition and Commissioner Awards Policy; and
• Approve Resolution No. 2026-24 amending the Compensation Plan for Executive Management Employees.
BACKGROUND
The Employee Service/Recognition and Commissioner Awards Policy was established by Resolution of the City Council in 1984 to recognize employees and Commissioners for their years of dedicated service to the organization. The current policy is outdated and provides recognition at designated service milestones through commemorative awards and/or monetary incentives.
Staff has identified several areas where the policy could be improved to better align with current workforce expectations, organizational values, and budget practices. Specifically, the existing policy:
• Does not reflect current employee recognition best practices; • Contains inconsistent award amounts and milestone intervals; • Provides limited flexibility in award selection;
• Requires administrative updates to improve efficiency and consistency.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7i
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *134
2 Human Resources conducted a review of comparable agency practices and evaluated internal employee feedback regarding recognition programs. Based on this review, staff is recommending amendments to the policy.
DISCUSSION
The proposed enhancements include the following:
• Updated Service Milestones
• Revise employee recognition milestones to occur every 5-year anniversary. • Enhanced Award Options
o Allow employees to select from a catalog of commemorative items, gift cards, or equivalent recognition options within approved budget limits. • Standardized Award Values
o Establish consistent award values tied to years of service to ensure equity and simplify administration.
• Recognition Procedures
o Authorize Human Resources to administer the program annually and update administrative procedures as needed.
• Modernize Language
o Revise policy language for clarity, consistency, and alignment with current organizational policies and practices.
The proposed policy amendments are intended to improve employee morale and engagement; enhance recruitment and retention efforts; recognize long-term employee contributions in a meaningful manner; ensure fair and consistent administration of service awards; and align the organization’s recognition practices with modern workforce expectations.
The proposed amendments are administrative in nature and do not alter employee compensation, benefits eligibility, or employment status. The amendments support the organization’s strategic goals related to workforce development and employee engagement.
Compensation Plan for Executive Management Employees
The proposed City Manager Bonus Award program is designed to strengthen accountability, organizational performance, and strategic execution among the City’s executive leadership team. The program links incentive compensation to measurable achievements, including City Council priorities, fiscal stewardship, operational efficiency, workforce development, and successful implementation of major initiatives.
Awards are discretionary, performance-based, and subject to budget availability approved by the City Council through Annual Budget Adoption process. The program is intended to help the City attract and retain high-performing executive leaders while Tuesday, June 02, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *135
3 reinforcing a culture of results-oriented public service and transparent performance management.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve staff’s recommendation.
2. Give staff alternative direction.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments are expected to have a minimal fiscal impact and can be accommodated within the existing Human Resources operating budget. Standardizing award values and consolidating purchasing procedures may also improve administrative efficiency and cost predictability. The amount appropriated for the City Manager Bonus Award shall not exceed $10,000 annually and is included in the Proposed Budget.
ATTACHMENTS
1) Resolution 2026-23 to amend the Employee Service/Recognition and Commissioner Awards Policy
2) Resolution 2026-24 to amend the Compensation Plan for Executive Management Employees
