All certifications also require City Council approval. On November 4, 2008, voters approved and ratified the City's Utility User's Tax (UUT) at a reduced rate of 9% from the previous rate of 10%. The voters also approved the update of the City's Ordinance based on changes in laws and technology that occurred since 1990.

AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO ALL AMERICAN
ASPHALT FOR THE AGNES STRIPING PROJECT, FY 2024-2025 (CIP PROJECT NO. 2350|2352.68.145)
Agenda Item # 8.8.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AWARDING a

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO ALL AMERICAN ASPHALT FOR THE AGNES STRIPING PROJECT, FY 2024-2025 (CIP PROJECT NO. 2350|2352.68.145).” Background:

On July 7, 2020, the City Council awarded a construction contract for improvements to Agnes Avenue, including upgrades to the street, water, and sewer systems (CIP NO. 4011.68.087).

This project featured new striping from Bullis Road to Atlantic Avenue, with parking brackets on both sides and a center median approximately thirty feet wide from Thorson Avenue to Atlantic Avenue. The project was accepted as complete on April 5, 2022.

Since its completion, concerns have risen regarding the striping. Issues include vehicles using the center median as a travel lane and the placement of trash bins in that area. Additionally, the number of installed parking T's has been inadequate for local residents. In response to these concerns, staff requested that the on-call consultant Transtech Engineers Inc. create a new striping design for Agnes Avenue from Thorson Avenue to Atlantic Avenue. The redesigned layout aims to increase parking capacity and improve safety for drivers. This updated striping design was completed and approved by the City Council on September 17, City Council City Council Regular Meeting 90
2024.

Discussion and Analysis:

The scope of work includes:

Applying slurry seal within the project limits, along with the installation of new pavement striping, markings, and signage as outlined in the plan.

Per the City’s Contracting and Purchasing Policy and Procedures Section XII, staff sent an invitation to five (5) contractors to submit bids for the Project. Staff conducted an Informal Request for Bids (IRFB) for the Agnes Striping Project – FY 24/25 CIP Project No. 2350|2352.68.145 on October 24, 2024. However, by the October 31, 2024, deadline, all contractors declined to participate.

In accordance with the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) Chapter 6 Subsection 6-3.7 “Bidding Procedures and Purchasing Authority Limits”, the Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) was advertised on the City’s website (PlanetBids) for the Project on November 13, 2024. The bid opening took place on the PlanetBids platform on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at 10:00 A.M.

On November 26, 2024, the following three (3) bids were received:

Bidder
Bid

1. All American Asphalt
$189,568.00

2. American Asphalt South
$205,935.00

3. Pavement Coatings Co
$207,000.00

An analysis of all bidders was conducted, including a review of their bid schedule, license, references, and required documents. All American Asphalt was the apparent lowest responsible bidder with a low base bid of $189,568.00. The bidder’s previous performance reveals that the contractor has the necessary experience and the contractor’s license for this type of project. Staff recommends that the City Council award the contract to All American Asphalt in the amount of $189,568.00. It is estimated that the project will take (30) calendar days to complete the work set forth in the bid documents. Upon approval, Staff will circulate the contract documents, setup a preconstruction meeting and schedule the work to City Council City Council Regular Meeting 91

WITHOLDING OF PAYMENT: CONTRACTOR agrees that the
Documentation Provision is critical to the City’s ability to monitor CONTRACTOR’s compliance with the City’s public wage obligations.

CONTRACTORS further agrees its breach of the Documentation Provision or general public wage obligations results in the need for additional enforcement action to verify compliance with this Addendum.

TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT DUE THE CONTRACTOR UNTIL

CONTRACTOR HAS PERFORMED ALL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THESE PROVISIONS. THIS PROVISION MEANS THAT CITY CAN

SUBJECT:

AWARD OF CONTRACT TO GENTRY GENERAL ENGINEERING, INC.

FOR THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, FY 2024-2025 (CIP PROJECT NOS. 2121|2251.68.143 & 4011.68.130)
Agenda Item # 8.9.

Recommendation:

Sidewalk improvements are implemented as part of the City's 5-year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program. These improvements are crucial because they enhance pedestrian safety, provide better accessibility for people with disabilities, reduce the risk of accidents, and promote overall walkability within the community. Additionally, well-maintained sidewalks contribute to the aesthetic appeal of neighborhoods and can encourage healthier, more sustainable modes of transportation.

Staff conducted an Informal Request for Proposals (IRFP) for the Sidewalk Improvements Project Fiscal Year (FY) 24-25 CIP No. 2121|2251.68.145 & 4011.68.130. Per the City’s Contracting and Purchasing Policy and Procedures Section XII, staff can move forward with City Council City Council Regular Meeting 138
an IRFP if the total amount of the contract is less than $200,000. An IRFP is a document issued to obtain written, competitive proposals to be used as a basis for entering a contract when price will not necessarily be the predominant award criteria.

On October 24, 2024, staff sent an invitation to six (6) contractors to submit proposals for the Project.

Discussion and Analysis:

On November 6, 2024, staff received two (2) proposals from the following contractors:

CONTINGENCY INCREASE FOR THE IMPERIAL HIGHWAY CORRIDOR CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT FROM STATE STREET TO WRIGHT ROAD FY 2023-2024, PROJECT NO. 4011.68.106”
Background:

The LACMTA and the City of Lynwood entered into an agreement for capacity improvements along Imperial Highway. LACMTA is providing funding through Measure R for the design and construction of the Imperial Highway Corridor Capacity Enhancements Project.

The work includes eleven (11) synchronized intersections along Imperial Highway. The following six (6) intersections also include additional geometric improvements:

Imperial Highway & State Street
City Council City Council Regular Meeting 157
Imperial Highway & Long Beach Boulevard
Imperial Highway & California Avenue
Imperial Highway & Bullis Road
Imperial Highway & Atlantic Avenue
Imperial Highway & Wright Road

The geometric improvements include construction of AC pavement, removal of existing pavement and raised medians, curbs, traffic signals, traffic loops, signing and striping, and landscape improvements and other related work.

Discussion and Analysis:

On August 15, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract to the lowest bidder, All American Asphalt, for $3,210,461. The total estimated project cost was $4,123,000, which included expenses for construction contingency, construction management, inspection, labor compliance, project management, and other associated costs.

The original estimated construction cost included a 10% contingency of $321,046.10. As work has progressed, unexpected circumstances have required change orders and most of the contingency has been exhausted.

APPROVAL OF SIXTH AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH
WATERWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC. FOR CONTINUING TO PROVIDE

INTERIM MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER AND SEWER OPERATIONS
AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR THE CITY’S PUBLIC

WORKS DEPARTMENT
Agenda Item # 8.11.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING A SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH WATERWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC. FOR

THE INTERIM MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER AND SEWER OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT”.

Background:

The City provides water service to approximately 69,900 residents, through about 9,620 water services utilizing 95 miles of water distribution pipelines and one (1) reservoir and booster station. The City’s water supply consists of a mix of local groundwater and imported water.

The City pumps groundwater from the Central Groundwater Basin, in conjunction with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) through five (5) active wells that are owned and operated by the City. Imported water is sourced from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) via Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD).

The City of Lynwood’s Utilities Division operates and oversees the City’s water and sewer collection systems including maintaining the water supply, ensuring water quality, maintaining, and upgrading the water system and sewer collection system infrastructure and providing emergency response. In order to continue to provide utility services to the Lynwood residents, the City requires the assistance of a consultant company to provide utility support services.

Resolution - Sixth_Amendment_WaterWorks.doc
September 17, 2024 the City Council approved an amendment to the existing agreement with Waterworks Technology, Inc. to extend the contract to December 31, 2024.

Discussion and Analysis:

Waterworks Technology, Inc. has been providing staffing necessary to manage the water and sewer systems as well as submit the necessary reports to various State agencies overseeing drinking water quality and production. Waterworks Technology, Inc. has also assisted staff with the on-going CIPs. Currently, Waterworks Technology, Inc. provides the required certification to manage the City’s water system, classified as a D5 Distribution System and provides 24/7 stand-by chief operator and reported as such to the State Water Resources Control Board.

WaterWorks Technology Inc’s current contract provides service to the City under the same terms of the original contract. As the existing contract is set to expire on December 31, 2024, Staff scheduled to award a 3-year contract for Utility Support and Management Services on November 19, 2024. However, the City received a formal protest letter on November 19,2024.

Staff will require additional time to fully consider the claims in the protest.

The City’s Contracting and Purchasing Policy allows three (3) amendments to the original contract. However an exception to this policy is allowed for emergency or urgent need of services to ensure the continuation of the City operations. An amendment to the existing contract, extending the term to up to December 31, 2025 is needed. The additional time will allow Staff to fully evaluate the claims in the protest and to determine the most optimal solution in order for the City to have a smooth transition with no disruptions to the City’s management of the water and sewer systems.

Fiscal Impact:

The compensation for the consultant will based on their fee schedule and will be paid from the approved FY 24-25 and proposed FY 25-26 Water and Sewer funds. No additional appropriation is needed at this time.

APPROVAL TO VACATE A PORTION OF FERNWOOD AVENUE

BETWEEN ALAMEDA STREET AND IMPERIAL HIGHWAY
Agenda Item # 8.12.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DETERMINING THAT THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF FERNWOOD AVENUE FROM 795 FEET SOUTHEAST

OF ALAMEDA STREET TO IMPERIAL HIGHWAY IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE

ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AND ORDERING THE VACATION OF THAT PORTION OF FERNWOOD AVENUE.”
Background:

The City of Lynwood is planning the development of affordable housing and commercial development on the City owned Alameda Triangle properties. The Triangle properties are three parcels known as Assessor Parcel Numbers 6169-002-904 (now 6169-002-912), 6169- 002-905 (now 6169-002-912) and 6169-001-900. The parcels are split between north and south Fernwood Avenue as shown on Los Angeles County Assessor’s map (attached). In order to continue with the development of these properties, the City must vacate a portion of Fernwood Avenue located between Imperial Highway and approximately 795 feet southeast of Alameda Street.

Discussion and Analysis:

City Council City Council Regular Meeting 177
On August 20, 2024, the City Council of the City of Lynwood adopted a resolution declaring its intention to vacate the aforementioned portion of Fernwood Avenue. The request is for a partial street vacation that will result in the vacated street to be incorporated into the commercial development (as shown on Attachment A). Staff reviewed the existing conditions of the street and has determined that the street has not been in circulation for public use as it has been closed from both direction of travel and is not needed for traffic circulation purposes.

Staff has determined that it is in the public’s best interest to vacate a portion of said street.

The design of the remaining street will comply with all fire department requirements and will have future access agreements through the commercial project preventing a dead-end condition.

The next steps of the street vacation process are for the City to setup a Public Hearing meeting to discuss with all the affected and interested parties for this vacation. However, Per the California Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8334(a), the City of Lynwood may summarily vacate a street section if said street section is an excess right-of-way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes. As well, there are no public facilities that are in use and would be affected by the vacation, as required by SHC 8334.5. Additionally, SHC 8335 allows the City to
administratively
process the street vacation by adoption of a
resolution. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council approve to summarily vacate the street section of Fernwood Avenue from approximately 795 feet southeast of Alameda Street to Imperial Highway.

As required by SHC Section 8313, the City Council must consider the General Plan prior to vacation of a street, highway, or public service easement if the proposed vacation is within an area for which a General Plan has been adopted by the City. The proposed vacation is within the area for which the City’s General Plan has been adopted. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council determine that the proposed street vacation is in conformance with the City’s adopted General Plan prior to ordering the vacation.

Upon approval, staff shall cause a certified copy of this resolution to be recorded in the Los Angeles County Recorder’s office and upon recordation, the vacation process will be complete.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no financial impact for this item.

FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2024-25 MID-YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW
Agenda Item # 9.1.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD RECEIVING AND FILING THE FY 2024-25 MID-YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW, APPROVING THE FY 2024-25 MID-YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS TO AMEND THE FY 2024-25 ADOPTED BUDGET HERETO ATTACHED AS SCHEDULE A”.

Background:

On June 20, 2023, the City Council adopted the FY 2023-25 Biennial Citywide Budget. And, on June 26, 2024, the City Council adopted the updated second year (or FY 2024-25) operating budget. The budget is the City’s financial operating plan that establishes the City’s goals, budget priorities, and desired service levels for the fiscal year, as well as identifies the fiscal resources necessary to achieve them. The adopted budget was based on certain assumptions and meeting expenditure and revenue projections.

The FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Financial Review reports on the City’s fiscal performance through mid-year (July through December), comparing all revenues and expenditures incurred during the first two quarters of FY 2024-25 to the same period in FY 2023-24. The Mid-Year Financial Review also provides an updated FY 2024-25 Financial Forecast, as well as presents mid- City Council City Council Regular Meeting 187
year budget adjustments for Council’s consideration to amend the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget.

As customary, the Mid-Year Financial Review primarily focuses on the General Fund since this is the fund that supports traditional municipal services the City provides for residents, such as law enforcement, fire protection, public works services, parks, and recreation.

Discussion and Analysis:

At the end of each fiscal year, the Finance & Administration Department begins its process of closing out the year. This process includes truing up the budget, ensuring all capital improvement project carryovers are processed and reflected in the new fiscal year. In addition, to avoid possible budget inflation, at the end of each fiscal year, all purchase orders and encumbrances are closed out.

FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Financial Report:

The table below shows the City’s revenues and expenditures incurred through the mid-year point of the fiscal year (first two quarters), from July 1 through December 31 in FY 2024-25 and FY 2023-24.

– Sales Tax is down 18.3% (or $387,661) compared to FY 2023-24. The decrease can possibly be attributed to inflation, thus causing a decline in consumer spending.

FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Expenditure Performance:

The City expended 40.3% (or $7,262,933) more than last year through the mid-year point of FY 2024-25. The increase in expenditures can be attributed to the advance booking of transfers out, special event costs, personnel costs due to change in allocations, the timing of processing invoices for services for such as debt service payments and public safety etc. The Finance & Administration Department will continue to monitor spending, address unanticipated needs for the current fiscal year, and help ensure that departments are adhering to the approved budget.

FY 2024-25 Financial Forecast:

In addition to reporting on the fiscal condition of the City through the first half of the fiscal year, the FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Financial Review Report provides an updated FY 2024-25 Financial Forecast. Throughout the year, fiscal issues arise and budget adjustments may be required that may impact the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget. When this happens, budget assumptions City Council City Council Regular Meeting 190
and year-end projections change. The Mid-Year Financial Review is usually a good time to present an updated FY 2024-25 Financial Forecast, as we become aware of new fiscal issues that arise subsequent to the budget adoption. Refer to Table 2 below for an updated FY 2024- 25 Financial Forecast.

SELECTION AND APPROVAL OF SECURITY SERVICES PROVIDER

FOR THE CITY'S PARKS AND FACILITIES
Agenda Item # 9.2.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council review the list of qualified security firms, consider the information provided within the staff report and:

1. Approve the award of a two-year contract for security services to American Guard Services, Inc. with options for three one-year terms, for an estimated annual cost of $556,000;

AND

2.Adopt the attached resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF LYNWOOD AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AND AMERICAN GUARD SERVICES , INC. TO PROVIDE SECURITY GUARD SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF LYNWOOD’S PARKS AND PUBLIC FACILITIES.”
Background:

On August 7, 2024 staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit qualified security firms to provide proposals for Security Guard Services for the City’s parks and public facilities. The City Council City Council Regular Meeting 200
RFP process has concluded, staff has prepared a list of ranked firms and is making a selection recommendation for City Council consideration.

Discussion and Analysis:

On August 7, 2024 the RFP was posted on the City of Lynwood’s Planet Bids vendor portal.

The RFP was advertised on August 13, 2024 in the Press Telegram and August 15, 2024 in the Lynwood Press Wave. The deadline to respond to the Security RFP was September 25, 2024.

In time for the submittal deadline, the City received twenty-three (23) proposals. One (1) of the 23 proposals was determined to be incomplete, as it did not include the required six (6) copies of the proposal and was disqualified from consideration. Attached is the list of the security firms that submitted a qualifying proposal to the City. Twenty-two (22) proposals were evaluated by city staff management. A short-list of firms was created based on the top six (6) highest scoring security firms.

The criteria used by the selection panel to evaluate the firms were developed to address the major consideration categories the City considers to be most relevant to the provision of cost- effective and high-quality security services including, but not limited to: Proposer’s operations approach; hiring and training programs; company experience; capacity and practical cost to the City.

On November 11, 2024, the interviews were held with the six (6) short-listed firms. At the conclusion of the interviews, the selection panel completed their individual scoring and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each firm. Individual scores were tallied and averaged for a final panel score. A copy of the scoring criteria used by the selection panel and a summary of the panelist’s scores are attached. (Attachment A).

The selection panel scored each interview based on the following:

Evaluation Category

Possible Points

Structure and Operations 25 Size of Firm/Financial Capabilities 25 Experience and Technical ability 25 City Council City Council Regular Meeting 201
Overall Responses 25

Total Possible Points:
100

The selection panel’s top three combined average scores for the interviewed firms:

1) American Guard Services 95 points average
2) Inter-Con Security Systems, Inc, 92 points average

3) Garda World Security 91 points average

The selection panel rated American Guard Services, Inc. (AGS) to be the best of the six (6) short-listed firms interviewed. Staff recommends that it be allowed to negotiate with AGS based on the results of the evaluation process and selection by the Committee panel.

Fees:

Firms were required to provide the Rate Per Hour they propose to charge the City for each hour of unarmed guard service. The following table summarizes the rates submitted by the firms and the approximate annual cost to the City based on the current levels of service required for 224 hours (11,648 yearly) of regular patrol service per week, 441 hours (yearly) of special event services, 352 hours (holiday/overtime pay) yearly and 1,900 hours (yearly) for private party facility renters:

*Revenue and expenditures for Bateman Hall, Senior Center, and other Recreation facilities as they apply to Hall renters for security services.

The proposed AGS rate of $35.44 per hour per unarmed guard service is the lowest of the top 3 ranked firms. The City budgeted $425,794 for the current FY for security guard services for its park patrol, special events and private rentals. The portion that the City spends on private facility renters is fully recovered and paid by the user of the facility. The City requires that the renters of recreation facilities pay the City for required security services. The City spent approximately $35,000 the previous FY for security service for private facility renters.

AGS contract and scope of work would remain essentially the same as the current level of service. Security services are currently contracted 365 days/year, Monday through Sunday from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. AGS will provide 224 hours of security guard services weekly.

The estimated payment to American Guard Services, Inc. would be $555,992 for the first year of the contract.

If the City Council awards the contract to AGS as recommended, staff will negotiate a two-year agreement with an additional three, one-year options for a total possible contract term not to exceed five (5) years. Timing for final contract and start-up is anticipated as follows:

Executed agreement by January 16, 2025
Service begins under new contract February 1, 2025

The agreement with the City’s current provider, Professional Security Consultants (PSC), expires on January 31, 2025.

Staff Recommendation
City Council City Council Regular Meeting 203

Based on a combination of the evaluation of the proposals and interviews of the top six firms, staff recommends that the Lynwood City Council approve the selection of American Guard Services as the City’s next provider of security services for protection of its parks and facilities.

Among the six top firms, AGS ranked the highest in the interview and third in the proposal evaluations. The AGS submitted a consistently strong proposal primarily because of their operational abilities; experience, training, technological capabilities and overall average ranking in the review process. However, staff believes that any of top three (3) firms are capable of successfully providing the security services as specified in the RFP and have demonstrated their competence through their proposal and interview processes.

Fiscal Impact:

The new contract would be for a two-year term, with options for three (3) one-year terms contingent upon Council approval of funding for Security Services. Based on the level of service, AGS would be paid an amount not-to-exceed $555,992 annually for its services for the first year of the agreement. The new contract commences on February 1, 2025. Under the terms of the new agreement included in the RFP, the firm would receive an annual rate increase equivalent to the increase in the Consumer Price Index, if the service contract is extended in years 3, 4, and 5.

Funds are budgeted and available in the following accounts for security services for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025:

Staff normally appropriates the estimated budget for security services through the yearly budget process. The new agreement with AGS would increase the annual cost from $425,794 to $556,000 without any change to current service levels. A budget revision is necessary to account for the increased cost for the remainder of the current FY 24-25. Staff estimates a budget shortfall for this contract of approximately $50,000 to finish this fiscal year. Funding is available from FY 24/25 Departmental savings in expected labor and operations costs across the Department.

Staff will work with the Finance Department to execute FY 24/25 budget reclassifications/adjustments of appropriate funds and accounts that are to be determined.

Funds for the remainder of the contract will be requested during the FY 2025-2027 Biennial Budget preparation.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LYNWOOD DIAL-A-TAXI AGREEMENT
Agenda Item # 9.3.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution entitled; “ A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING THE

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LYNWOOD DIAL-A-TAXI CONTRACT WITH FIESTA TAXI COOPERATIVE, INC., AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT THROUGH DECEMBER 18, 2025, FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $200,000 .”
Background:

For over the past 25 years, the City of Lynwood has offered an on-demand (Dial-a-Ride/Taxi) transportation program to help serve the needs of Lynwood seniors and residents with disabilities. The service is provided to senior citizens and disabled residents for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and participation in Senior Center activities. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the accompanying resolution approving a Second Amendment and extending the term of the agreement through December 18, 2025. (REC) Discussion and Analysis:

The City’s Dial-A-Ride (DAR) program provides subsidized transportation to eligible seniors (65 years and older) and disabled residents living within the city limits of Lynwood. The DAR program is fully funded with Proposition “A” funds. The City receives an annual allocation of transportation grant funds for the operation of its DAR program based on historical average allocations. The cost of the DAR program was approximately $120,000 for FY 23/24.

The current contract term with Fiesta Taxi to operate the City’s DAR program expires on December 18, 2024 (Resolution #2024.055 - First Amendment). The original agreement was City Council City Council Regular Meeting 215
SECOND Amendment to Fiesta Taxi DAR Agreement 121724.docx ORIGINAL Fiesta Taxi Agreement.pdf
awarded through a formal Request for Proposals process for a contract length of five (5) years with a total possible value of one million dollars. A First Amendment to the agreement, extending the original agreement through December 18, 2024, was approved via Resolution #2024.055. In order to continue services, staff is now recommending approval of a Second Amendment to the original agreement to secure the uninterrupted continuation of a professional services agreement for the City's DAR program.

If approved, the total combined cost of the first and second extensions plus the cost of the original 5-year agreement will still be significantly below the original approved total contract value of one million dollars. To date, approximately $689,000 of the originally approved one million dollar contract value has been expended (original cost of five years plus the cost of the First Amendment), leaving an approximate balance of $200,000 available to support the costs of the requested Second Amendment. The recommended action is in line with the City’s formal procedures allowed by its
Contracting and Purchasing Policy & Procedures
:

Contracting and Purchasing Policy & Procedures (Section XVIII. Contract Amendments) “For contract amendments where the total amount of the agreement is more than $50,000, City Council authorization/approval is ordinarily required. A contract originally approved by the City Council may be amended no more than three times by the City Council. The term of each amendment may not exceed one year. Each amendment may not exceed the value of the original agreement.”
Staff is satisfied with the services that Fiesta Taxi is providing to the City. If the Second Amendment is approved as recommended, it will extend the term of the Professional Services Agreement to December 18, 2025 .

Fiscal Impact:

The program cost is based on the number of trips taken; the current charge to program participants is $0.50 per coupon for a maximum of 18 coupons per month. Each coupon is good for a one-way trip. Approximately 136 active seniors receive direct transportation service on a monthly basis. The City currently pays Fiesta an average cost of $12.35 per trip. To date we are expending funds at a rate of approximately $10,400 per month for services. The contract amount is not-to-exceed $200,000. The recommended Second Amendment will cover the period of December 19, 2024 through December 18, 2025, with the funding source being the Proposition A Transportation Fund. Funds are included in the FY25 Adopted Budget. No additional funds are being requested with the recommended action.

As a result of the City Council's recent reorganization, the list of appointments should be updated.

Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
In March 2012, the Fair Political Practices Commission amended FPPC Regulation 18705.5 (renumbered to 18702.5 in 2015) to allow a Public Official to participate in a decision that would appoint him/herself to an external board position, under a specific condition. The conditions are set forth in FPPC Regulation 18702.5.

To implement FPPC Regulation 18705.5 (renumbered as 18702.5), in May 2012, the FPPC adopted Form 806 (Agency Report of Public Official Appointments) that may be used by the City to report additional compensation that officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees, boards, or commissions of a public agency, special district, and joint powers agency or authority. This form is to completed by the City and posted on its website, and updated as changes occur.

Once mayoral appointments are made, they will be added to the Form 806, which will be posted on the City's website. Additionally, members will be responsible to submit a Form 700 for every organization they are appointed to.
