On January 12, 2024, staff released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit firms for design services. A total of three proposals were received. After reviewing and evaluating all proposals for qualifications, a proposal ranking was assigned to each firm. To further assess the proposed project team and determine which firm most closely aligned with the scope of work outlined in the RFP, firms were subsequently invited to participate in selection interviews. The qualification ranking resulting from the selection interviews is outlined in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2 – FIRM RANKING SUMMARY
Under the California Government Code Section 4526, local agencies are required to select professional services for architectural, landscape architectural, engineering, environmental, land surveying, or construction project management solely on the basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications. For this reason, cost proposals are sealed until the selection process is completed. Caltrans further requires that projects funded through the ATP follow the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Within the LAPM, Chapter 10 outlines the consultant selection process, which states that price cannot be considered as part of the evaluation process and that only the top ranked firm’s cost proposal may be opened. (LAPM
10.1.2, 10.1.5, 10.1.6, 10.7.7, 23 CFR 172.7(a)(1)(v)(D).) This chapter also establishes the City’s requirement to return sealed cost proposals to any unsuccessful firms. (LAPM 10.1.5, 10.1.6,
10.1.7, 23 CFR 172.7(a)(1)(v)(D).)
Following thorough review, Dokken Engineering was selected as the highest-ranking proposer.
Dokken Engineering demonstrated qualified experience, a comprehensive understanding relevant to the Project’s scope as outlined within the RFP, and that their cost proposal was reasonable and within the established design budget.
The amount of the proposed Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) exceeds the City Manager’s signing authority. Pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code §3.12.040, any contract amount that exceeds the City Manager’s signing authority shall be approved by the City Council.

This Subsection 5.3 shall only apply to Consultant if Consultant is a “design professional” as that term is defined in Civil Code Section 2782.8.
5.4 Limitation of Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 5 do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole or active negligence. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City or any and all of its officers, officials, employees, and agents acting in an official capacity.

SUBJECT: Agreement Amendment with Dokken Engineering for the Valley Boulevard Widening and Missing Links Project
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Diego Guillen, Senior Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dokken Engineering for environmental and civil design services, increasing the amount by $22,783 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,421,974.81, and extending the agreement term through June 30, 2025, for the Valley Boulevard Widening and Missing Links Project.
DISCUSSION
The Valley Boulevard Widening and Missing Links Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 22-02 (“Project”), is located between Chambers Avenue and Murrieta Road, which is currently a two-lane rural corridor located in the northwestern part of the City. Due to increases in residential and commercial developments in this area, there is a need for additional traffic lanes.
Under the City’s General Plan, this segment of Valley Boulevard is designated as an arterial roadway that would ultimately provide for four lanes of traffic. The Project would widen the existing two-lane road to a four-lane corridor and establish horizontal and vertical alignments to meet the requirements of the California Highway Design Manual and City standards. The Project is currently in the final phase of design.
On January 19, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Dokken Engineering (“Consultant”) to provide civil design, plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) services for the Project. Additional engineering support and design services beyond the initial scope of work included in the Consultant’s original proposal are required to complete the final design for the PS&E phase of the Project. Although staff makes every effort to carefully study and anticipate the extent of the scope of work needed to achieve project goals, unforeseen task needs, and unanticipated timeline delays are often experienced as Item Title: 10.13

TOTAL $1,421,974.81
The existing walls along Valley Boulevard require retrofitting or replacement. In order to determine appropriate next steps, additional geotechnical exploration is needed to determine the existing composition of the walls along Valley Boulevard, between Cherry Hills Boulevard and McCall Boulevard. The proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement includes the additional engineering support and design services necessary to complete this task. Amendment No. 3 would also extend the agreement term through June 30, 2025, to accommodate the additional work required.
The fee for the additional scope of work would be $22,783. Staff has determined the proposal to be reasonable to fully complete the PS&E phase for final design of the Project.
Pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code §3.12.090, amendments or change orders in the amount greater than 10% of the contract amount or that exceed the City Manager’s signing authority shall be approved by the City Council.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Agreement Amendment with the City of Murrieta for Dispatch Services
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: Chris Karrer, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment and Restatement of the Dispatch Service Agreement with the City of Murrieta, memorializing existing practices as they relate to the allocation of operational program costs and data access.
DISCUSSION
In July 2019, the City of Menifee entered into a Dispatch Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with the City of Murrieta to provide dispatch services through July 1, 2030. Under the terms of this Agreement, the City of Murrieta added personnel to respond to emergency / non-emergency calls for service in the City of Menifee while operating the dispatch center serving both cities. This partnership enables both agencies to consolidate resources and gain operational efficiencies in providing police dispatch services.
In May of 2023 the first amendment to the Agreement was brought forward for consideration and approval. The proposed Amendment includes refinements to several provisions within the Agreement to better reflect existing operational costs as well as data retention, access, and support requirements. This includes more clearly defining the calculation used for establishing the fully burdened hourly rate associated with police dispatchers, dispatch supervisors, and support personnel including salaries, benefits and indirect overhead costs associated with dispatch operations. The amended Agreement also provides for activity-based cost allocation for dispatchers and dispatch supervisors based upon inbound and outbound emergency / non- emergency calls, and computer aided dispatch (CAD) entries, including self-initiated, dispatched, and not dispatched calls for service. This approach establishes an equitable distribution of costs based on actual dispatch center activity occurring between January 1 and December 31 of each year.

The proposed Amendment was presented at the May 17, 2023 City Council Meeting and approved, however when it went before the Murrieta City Council, a few minor changes pertaining to the CAD system upgrades and reporting requirements were requested. The proposed changes are reflected in Exhibit “A” of the revised amendment. The proposed changes include additional language clarifying aspects of the CAD system including after-hours support procedures, and the implementation of a new cloud-based storage solution. The changes outlined in Exhibit ”A” will benefit both departments by illustrating expectations for responses, and outlining the need to upgrade the CAD and record management system (RMS) with the vendor recommended changes. The vendor recommended changes will allow for increased security of data, faster accessibility for data transfer to Menifee Police Department, and more flexibility working within the system. These upgrades will benefit both departments, creating a more conducive environment for data sharing and collaboration.
The amended Agreement presented for adoption, reflects the provisions mutually agreed upon by staff in both agencies, memorializing existing practices as they relate to the allocation of operational program costs and data access.

FIRST AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF DISPATCH SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF MURRIETA AND THE CITY OF MENIFEE
This First Amendment and Restatement of Dispatch Service Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF MURRIETA, a municipal corporation (hereinafter "Murrieta"), and the CITY OF MENIFEE, a municipal corporation (hereinafter "Menifee"). Murrieta and Menifee may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties".
RECITALS
A. On July 1, 2019, Murrieta entered into a “Dispatch Services Agreement” (“Original Agreement”) with Menifee to provide dispatching services for the Menifee Police Department.
B. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Original Agreement, the parties have met and conferred regarding proposed modifications and changes to the Original Agreement.
C. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement in full.
D. Menifee has formed a police department to enhance the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents.
E. Murrieta has recently updated its facilities and technology related to dispatch services for its public safety services, including its police department.
F. Menifee desires to have Murrieta provide dispatching services for Menifee's police department, and Murrieta is willing to perform such services to increase efficiencies and provide better services to the respective police departments and communities.
G. Due to the increased call volumes resulting from providing dispatch services for Menifee, twelve (12) dispatcher positions will be added to the Murrieta dispatch center in the first year of implementation.
Staffing level for subsequent years will be agreed upon by Murrieta and Menifee Chiefs of Police.
Menifee acknowledges that Murrieta is hiring the new dispatchers specifically to account for the increase in call volume that will occur with providing the dispatch services called for by this Agreement and that Murrieta would not otherwise be hiring such dispatchers.
H. Similarly, Murrieta providing dispatch services to Menifee will require hardware and software upgrades of the existing CentralSquare CAD and RMS system, including licensed ancillary modules, to the multi- agency versions of the software. Menifee shall pay for such upgrades and all implementation costs related to the software system upgrade, including hardware, to enable the software for Murrieta staff to provide police dispatching services to both Parties.

I. Murrieta providing dispatch services for Menifee will enhance deployment and communication during critical incidents for both cities, and updated compatible technology will improve the interoperability of the adjacent cities.
J. A single dispatch center will also result in cost savings and increased efficiencies for both cities.
K. The expansion of Murrieta's dispatch capabilities to accommodate Menifee's dispatch needs will cause Murrieta to incur substantial start-up and ongoing costs on Menifee's behalf, including dispatcher recruitment costs; supervisory, administrative, and technical support as well as technology hardware and software costs.
L. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is guided by the following three core principles:
(i) Dispatch services can be provided more effectively and efficiently to both Menifee and Murrieta through the operation of a single dispatch center serving both communities; (ii) the type and quality of services to be received by Menifee under this Agreement shall be equivalent to those provided to Murrieta, and (iii) the compensation provisions in this Agreement are based on a total cost recovery model, with the intent that Menifee pay to Murrieta the full cost (nothing more and nothing less) of the services that it provides to Menifee hereunder, i.e., Menifee shall reimburse Murrieta for Menifee's pro- rata share as described in Exhibit B of this agreement.

Agreement Amendment with the City of Murrieta for Dispatch Services Item Page Number: 6
Menifee Mayor and City Council

provides complete and accurate information to Murrieta including, but not limited, GIS data. The Parties agree to work together in good faith to meet the Go Live Date; however, should the Dispatch Services not be fully ready for implementation on the Go Live Date despite the Parties' best efforts, said failure shall not be a default of this Agreement and Murrieta shall provide Dispatch Services to the extent possible in recognition of the public health and safety concerns associated with the provision of such services.
1. The Parties agree that as of May 1, 2023, the Go Live Date has passed, and as a result, this Paragraph 4(b)(i) has no further force or effect. c. Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Menifee may request that Murrieta perform Extra Work. Murrieta will not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization from Menifee.
5. COMPENSATION. Menifee shall provide the following compensation to Murrieta. a. Start-Up Costs.
i. Payment Obligation: Menifee shall pay Murrieta for the Start-Up Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedure set forth in Section 5(d). ii. Estimated Amount: The Parties currently estimate that the Start-Up Costs will be as set forth in Exhibit C. At such time as the total invoices for Start-Up Costs exceed eighty percent (80%) of the estimated Start-Up Costs as set forth in Exhibit C, the Parties shall meet and confer to revise the estimated Start-Up Costs as necessary. Notwithstanding, Menifee acknowledges that the amounts set forth in Exhibit C are estimates only and that it is responsible for all Start-Up Costs incurred by Murrieta. iii. The Parties agree that as of May 1, 2023, the Start-Up Costs have been fully paid, and as a result, this Paragraph 5(a) has no further force or effect. b. Costs for Service:
i. Payment Obligation: Menifee shall pay Murrieta the Costs for Service in the amount and subject to the adjustments specified in Exhibit B. The Parties acknowledge that the Costs for Service include ongoing personnel costs (dispatchers and non-dispatcher support and supervisory personnel) and Technology Costs incurred by Murrieta as necessary to provide the Dispatch Service to Menifee. The Parties further acknowledge that some of the Costs for Service will commence and may be invoiced prior to the Go Live Date. ii. Estimated Amount: The Parties currently estimate that annual Costs for Service will be as set forth in Exhibit B. At either Party's request, with at least fourteen (14) days prior notice, the Parties shall meet and confer to discuss any current or forecasted changes in Item Title: 10.14
Agreement Amendment with the City of Murrieta for Dispatch Services Item Page Number: 7
Menifee Mayor and City Council
May 1, 2024

630 of 1143
the Costs for Service. Notwithstanding, Menifee acknowledges that the amounts set forth in Exhibit B are estimates only and that it is responsible for all Costs for Service incurred by Murrieta.
iii. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate (“FBHR”) Calculation: The FBHR are rates that cities use to estimate full cost of employee’s time. If a city were to use a simple hourly rate to charge for services associated with an employee, the reimbursement would not cover any of the other expenses associated with the services rendered. The FBHR calculation includes salary, benefits, and other costs reasonably attributable to the employee. The cost elements that are included in the FBHR calculation are as follows:
• Salary and Benefits;
• Operating Cost applicable to the dispatch center; and • Indirect overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”).
These combined amounts reflect the actual cost associated with an hour of each employee’s time. The term "indirect overhead costs," as used herein, applies to costs originating in those departments that provide support and services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community. In order to determine the indirect overhead cost, Murrieta will engage a subject-matter expert consultant to prepare the CAP. An important factor in determining the FBHR is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. For the purpose of this agreement, the productive hours are two thousand and eighty hours (2,080). Murrieta is to engage a subject-matter expert consultant to complete the FBHR by March of each year. iv. Activity-Based Cost Allocation Methodology: An equitable methodology to allocate cost of dispatch services is based on the following criteria: All Inbound and Outbound phone calls to include 9-1-1 calls, ten-digit emergency line and non-emergency lines (inclusive of calls for Murrieta Police Department, Murrieta Fire Department, and Menifee Police Department). Additionally, all CAD entries, including self-initiated, dispatched, and not dispatched calls for service, will be included. This methodology allows for an equitable share of cost based on actual activity being performed by the dispatch center. The number of calls and location information is recorded and available in the CAD system. The percentage allocation will be based on a calendar year basis from January 1st through December 31st and such report will be completed by March of each year. c. Extra Work: Menifee will compensate Murrieta for Extra Work at rates or charges agreed to in writing by the Parties.

d. Invoicing Procedure: Murrieta shall submit invoices to Menifee on a quarterly basis. The invoices shall be based on actual costs incurred by Murrieta to ensure full cost recovery. The invoices shall identify whether the charges included are for Start-Up Costs or Costs for Service and shall include sufficient back-up documentation to demonstrate that the costs are appropriately categorized as either Start-Up Costs or Costs for Service. Menifee shall pay the quarterly invoices within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the invoice. After thirty (30) calendar days, payment shall be considered late and a default subject to termination for cause under Section 8 of this Agreement.
6. ON-GOING COORDINATION.

If Murrieta provides dispatch services to another agency other than the Murrieta Fire Department, the Technology Fee and the Dispatch Services Costs shall be reduced by the decrease in percentage based on the Menifee Calls for Service to the total Calls For Service dispatched by Murrieta. Murrieta will require any other agency that wants dispatch services to pay a "Buy-In Fee" and pay their proportionate share of fees and costs as reasonably determined by Murrieta. Without limiting the foregoing, the additional agency be memorialized in an amendment of this agreement that adds the new agency as an additional party and describes the corresponding modifications to the Parties respective of rights and obligations.

FIRST AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF DISPATCH SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF MURRIETA AND THE CITY OF MENIFEE
This First Amendment and Restatement of Dispatch Service Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF MURRIETA, a municipal corporation (hereinafter "Murrieta"), and the CITY OF MENIFEE, a municipal corporation (hereinafter "Menifee"). Murrieta and Menifee may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties".
RECITALS
A. On July 1, 2019, Murrieta entered into a “Dispatch Services Agreement” (“Original Agreement”) with Menifee to provide dispatching services for the Menifee Police Department.
B. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Original Agreement, the parties have met and conferred regarding proposed modifications and changes to the Original Agreement.
C. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement in full.
D. Menifee has formed a police department to enhance the public health, safety, and welfare of its residents.
E. Murrieta has recently updated its facilities and technology related to dispatch services for its public safety services, including its police department.
F. Menifee desires to have Murrieta provide dispatching services for Menifee's police department, and Murrieta is willing to perform such services to increase efficiencies and provide better services to the respective police departments and communities.
G. Due to the increased call volumes resulting from providing dispatch services for Menifee, twelve (12) dispatcher positions will be added to the Murrieta dispatch center in the first year of implementation.
Staffing level for subsequent years will be agreed upon by Murrieta and Menifee Chiefs of Police.
Menifee acknowledges that Murrieta is hiring the new dispatchers specifically to account for the increase in call volume that will occur with providing the dispatch services called for by this Agreement and that Murrieta would not otherwise be hiring such dispatchers.
H. Similarly, Murrieta providing dispatch services to Menifee will require hardware and software upgrades of the existing CentralSquare CAD and RMS system, including licensed ancillary modules, to the multi- agency versions of the software. Menifee shall pay for such upgrades and all implementation costs related to the software system upgrade, including hardware, to enable the software for Murrieta staff to provide police dispatching services to both Parties.

I. Murrieta providing dispatch services for Menifee will enhance deployment and communication during critical incidents for both cities, and updated compatible technology will improve the interoperability of the adjacent cities.
J. A single dispatch center will also result in cost savings and increased efficiencies for both cities.

Menifee Mayor and City Council

provides complete and accurate information to Murrieta including, but not limited, GIS data. The Parties agree to work together in good faith to meet the Go Live Date; however, should the Dispatch Services not be fully ready for implementation on the Go Live Date despite the Parties' best efforts, said failure shall not be a default of this Agreement and Murrieta shall provide Dispatch Services to the extent possible in recognition of the public health and safety concerns associated with the provision of such services.
1. The Parties agree that as of May 1, 2023, the Go Live Date has passed, and as a result, this Paragraph 4(b)(i) has no further force or effect. c. Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Menifee may request that Murrieta perform Extra Work. Murrieta will not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization from Menifee.
5. COMPENSATION. Menifee shall provide the following compensation to Murrieta. a. Start-Up Costs.
i. Payment Obligation: Menifee shall pay Murrieta for the Start-Up Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedure set forth in Section 5(d). ii. Estimated Amount: The Parties currently estimate that the Start-Up Costs will be as set forth in Exhibit C. At such time as the total invoices for Start-Up Costs exceed eighty percent (80%) of the estimated Start-Up Costs as set forth in Exhibit C, the Parties shall meet and confer to revise the estimated Start-Up Costs as necessary. Notwithstanding, Menifee acknowledges that the amounts set forth in Exhibit C are estimates only and that it is responsible for all Start-Up Costs incurred by Murrieta. iii. The Parties agree that as of May 1, 2023, the Start-Up Costs have been fully paid, and as a result, this Paragraph 5(a) has no further force or effect. b. Costs for Service:
i. Payment Obligation: Menifee shall pay Murrieta the Costs for Service in the amount and subject to the adjustments specified in Exhibit B. The Parties acknowledge that the Costs for Service include ongoing personnel costs (dispatchers and non-dispatcher support and supervisory personnel) and Technology Costs incurred by Murrieta as necessary to provide the Dispatch Service to Menifee. The Parties further acknowledge that some of the Costs for Service will commence and may be invoiced prior to the Go Live Date. ii.

At either Party's request, with at least fourteen (14) days prior notice, the Parties shall meet and confer to discuss any current or forecasted changes in Item Title: 10.14
Agreement Amendment with the City of Murrieta for Dispatch Services Item Page Number: 40
Menifee Mayor and City Council
May 1, 2024

663 of 1143
the Costs for Service. Notwithstanding, Menifee acknowledges that the amounts set forth in Exhibit B are estimates only and that it is responsible for all Costs for Service incurred by Murrieta.
iii. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate (“FBHR”) Calculation: The FBHR are rates that cities use to estimate full cost of employee’s time. If a city were to use a simple hourly rate to charge for services associated with an employee, the reimbursement would not cover any of the other expenses associated with the services rendered. The FBHR calculation includes salary, benefits, and other costs reasonably attributable to the employee. The cost elements that are included in the FBHR calculation are as follows:
• Salary and Benefits;
• Operating Cost applicable to the dispatch center; and • Indirect overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”).
These combined amounts reflect the actual cost associated with an hour of each employee’s time. The term "indirect overhead costs," as used herein, applies to costs originating in those departments that provide support and services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community. In order to determine the indirect overhead cost, Murrieta will engage a subject-matter expert consultant to prepare the CAP. An important factor in determining the FBHR is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. For the purpose of this agreement, the productive hours are two thousand and eighty hours (2,080). Murrieta is to engage a subject-matter expert consultant to complete the FBHR by March of each year. iv. Activity-Based Cost Allocation Methodology: An equitable methodology to allocate cost of dispatch services is based on the following criteria: All Inbound and Outbound phone calls to include 9-1-1 calls, ten-digit emergency line and non-emergency lines (inclusive of calls for Murrieta Police Department, Murrieta Fire Department, and Menifee Police Department). Additionally, all CAD entries, including self-initiated, dispatched, and not dispatched calls for service, will be included. This methodology allows for an equitable share of cost based on actual activity being performed by the dispatch center. The number of calls and location information is recorded and available in the CAD system. The percentage allocation will be based on a calendar year basis from January 1st through December 31st and such report will be completed by March of each year. c. Extra Work: Menifee will compensate Murrieta for Extra Work at rates or charges agreed to in writing by the Parties.

d. Invoicing Procedure: Murrieta shall submit invoices to Menifee on a quarterly basis. The invoices shall be based on actual costs incurred by Murrieta to ensure full cost recovery. The invoices shall identify whether the charges included are for Start-Up Costs or Costs for Service and shall include sufficient back-up documentation to demonstrate that the costs are appropriately categorized as either Start-Up Costs or Costs for Service. Menifee shall pay the quarterly invoices within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the invoice. After thirty (30) calendar days, payment shall be considered late and a default subject to termination for cause under Section 8 of this Agreement.

If Murrieta provides dispatch services to another agency other than the Murrieta Fire Department, the Technology Fee and the Dispatch Services Costs shall be reduced by the decrease in percentage based on the Menifee Calls for Service to the total Calls For Service dispatched by Murrieta. Murrieta will require any other agency that wants dispatch services to pay a "Buy-In Fee" and pay their proportionate share of fees and costs as reasonably determined by Murrieta. Without limiting the foregoing, the additional agency be memorialized in an amendment of this agreement that adds the new agency as an additional party and describes the corresponding modifications to the Parties respective of rights and obligations.
