TABLE 1 – PROPOSAL RANKING SUMMARY
*Deemed non-responsive for failure to submit all required documentation.
During the initial evaluation process, five of the ten proposals received were determined to be non-responsive for failure to submit all required documentation timely. Following the review and evaluation of all proposals, and to further assess the proposed project team to determine which firm most closely aligned with the scope of work outlined in the RFP, the top three scoring firms that were deemed responsive were subsequently invited to participate in selection interviews. The interview and selection processes were conducted in accordance with City purchasing guidelines.
The interview provides an opportunity to meet and interact with each firm’s proposed project team and to further assess which firm offers the most technical expertise to deliver a successful project.
The average scores of the final evaluation, as completed by the interview panel, are summarized in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2 – SELECTION INTERVIEW FIRM RANKING SUMMARY

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1956, a non-profit 501(c)(19) organization
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kori Jones, Senior Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Mariana Mitchell, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1956, a non-profit 501(c)(19) organization dba Menifee Post No. 1956 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(19) organization / 1956 – Menifee Post Veterans of Foreign Wars, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(19) organization (VFW) for the collaboration of related community programs through June 30, 2030.
DISCUSSION
The Community Services Department (CSD) has worked with the VFW to formalize a partnership for related community programming. The VFW is a nationally recognized organization dedicated to provide support and services to veterans, active and reserve military, their families, and community. Its goals are to raise public awareness of those who have sacrificed daily for our freedom and provide an active way to honor them. The VFW also raises funds to distribute to non-profit groups which support the military community as well as inspires patriotism in local youth by educating them on the history of American freedom. The Menifee 1956 VFW Post primarily supports veterans within Menifee and surrounding areas.
CSD seeks to formalize a partnership with the VFW which establishes a framework to support veterans, promote civic engagement, and leverage resources of both organizations to produce quality programs for the public. This partnership supports the Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure and Unique Identity Strategic Plan Priorities adopted by City Council in 2023.
The City currently has similar MOU partnerships related to community programming with Lake Menifee Women’s Club, Menifee Arts Council, Menifee Valley Community Cupboard, and Perris Union High School District. Under the proposed MOU partnership, the VFW would continue to Item Title: 10.9

collaborate primarily with the CSD teams which oversee Veterans Services, Cultural Arts, Citywide Special Events, and Senior Programs. Highlights of the proposed MOU, which has a term of 5 years, have been highlighted below.
Menifee Post No. 1956 Veterans of Foreign Wars MOU Highlights:
Event support for City-sponsored Veterans Day Ceremony, Memorial Day Ceremony, and Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Events
Sponsorship components of related veterans programming Use of City facilities up to 10 hours for two annual VFW events per fiscal year Public outreach and communication activities of both organizations Collaboration on potential grant programs
Meeting collaboration and communication
Per the terms of the agreement, at any time either party may choose to terminate this MOU with ninety (90) days prior written notice.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. However, partnership in future grant applications can potentially lead to an increase in grant revenues in future fiscal years to support related programs and events. Additionally, the in-kind sponsorship provided by CSD for the use of a facility is expected to be offset by volunteer assistance in producing collaborative events.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Inland Regional Center for deployment of Blue Envelope Program materials and training; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all subsequent bi-yearly MOU amendments at the City’s discretion.
DISCUSSION
The Menifee Police Department (MPD) is requesting a partnership with Inland Regional Center (IRC) to provide materials and training for the Blue Envelope Program. The Blue Envelope Program (Program) is intended to enhance communication and safety during interactions between first responders and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The Program was developed through a two-year collaboration between IRC, the Autism Society Inland Empire (ASIE), and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. It is funded through the Department of Developmental Services under the Language Access and Cultural Competency (LACC) initiative. The Program includes training for parents, clients, and caregivers, and the distribution of standardized materials such as blue envelopes, seatbelt covers, keychains, wristbands, lanyards, and vehicle decals to support individuals during law enforcement interactions.
The Blue Envelope Coalition, of which MPD is seeking to join, is composed of local law enforcement and public safety agencies that are participating in the pilot project and contributed to the development of the Blue Envelope training curriculum and the "Emerging Best Practices." Item Title: 10.10

II. BACKGROUND
The Blue Envelope Program was developed through a two-year collaboration between Inland Regional Center (IRC), the Autism Society Inland Empire (ASIE), and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBCSD). It is funded through the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) under the Language Access and Cultural Competency (LACC) initiative. The program includes training for parents, clients, and caregivers, and the distribution of standardized materials such as blue envelopes, seatbelt covers, keychains, wristbands, lanyards, and vehicle decals to support individuals during law enforcement interactions.
The Blue Envelope Program is designed to enhance the experience of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities—such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (IQ below 70), cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or communication barriers— as well as their families. It promotes equitable access to information and services for multilingual, Deaf/Deaf Plus, non-verbal, monolingual, and culturally diverse communities, with a focus on ensuring safety during emergencies, law enforcement encounters, and crises. The program is intended to complement, not replace, an officer's professional judgment or established safety protocols.
III. RESPONSIBILITIES OF INLAND REGIONAL CENTER
IRC agrees to:
1. Provision of Materials
IRC will provide the Menifee Police Department with Blue Envelope Program– branded materials, including lanyards, car decals, bracelets, keychains, pins, and seatbelt covers, at no cost, as outlined in this MOU and subject to availability.

2. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Master Agreement with MIG, Inc. increasing the amount by $400,000 and extending the agreement term through September 5, 2028; and
3. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Master Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc., increasing the amount by $400,000 and extending the agreement term through September 5, 2028.
DISCUSSION
The City of Menifee’s Community Services Department (CSD) oversees the ongoing development and maintenance of all City parks and rights-of-way. As part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), CSD continues its focus on developing and upgrading various City maintained parks. These projects along with other CSD projects require a Landscape Architect firm to be successful.
On September 6, 2023, City Council approved the CSD On-Call Short List for Landscape Architect Services for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2028. The list includes BMLA, MIG Inc. and RHA Landscape Architect-Planners. In conjunction with the approval of the short list, master agreements were also executed for all three selected vendors with a termination date in September 2025.

Over the first two years of performance, staff has been satisfied with the quality of services and responsiveness from the firms that have been utilized. Staff is therefore recommending that all three master agreements be amended and extended throughout the life of the approved short list.
All three firms must be amended to the same maximum contract authority in order to remain active on the Council-approved On-Call Short List. This ensures consistency, fairness, and flexibility when assigning future projects.
On-Call landscape architect services would be utilized to help with the development of various projects including a future park on a City-owned parcel north of Paloma Valley High School, turf conversion within Lighting, Landscape, and Maintenance District (LLMD) 89-1C, and to design a playground at Banner Village Park.
If approved, the amendments would increase the maximum contract authority for each firm by $400,000. This action would raise that combined limit to $1,400,000 in total for all terms of each agreement as detailed below.
TABLE 1 – CONTRACT AUTHORITY AND PROPOSED AMENDEMENT
Term Dates Amount
Initial Term September 2023 - September 2024 $500,000
1ST Renewal Term September 2024 - September 2025 $500,000 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Renewal Term September 2025 - September 2028 $400,000 TOTAL FOR EACH AGREEMENT $1,400,000
The increase to all three agreements does not authorize $4.2 million in spending; rather, it provides the City flexibility to assign work among any of the three firms while ensuring overall expenditures remain within the established cap.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Any projects assigned under the master agreements will be funded through existing appropriations in the approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Funding is available within the projects identified in Table 2.

SUBJECT: Agreement Amendment with KOA Corporation for the McCall Boulevard Widening Project
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2025
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. 6 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with KOA Corporation for the McCall Boulevard Widening Project, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 22-03, increasing the amount by $98,509, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $403,412.38.
DISCUSSION
The McCall Boulevard Widening Project, CIP Project No. 22-03 (Project), is located between Oakhurst Avenue and Junipero Road. The existing roadway consists of two lanes for approximately half a mile before expanding to a four-lane roadway. There is a need for additional vehicle lanes to support current and future traffic volumes due to the increased residential and commercial development in the area. Under the City’s General Plan, this segment of McCall Boulevard is designated as an arterial roadway that would ultimately provide six vehicle lanes.
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 June 21, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with KOA Corporation (Consultant) to prepare civil design, Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) services for the McCall Boulevard Widening Project. At the time the design phase began, the Menifee Valley Specific Plan (MVSP), a private development northeast of the Project area, was still in the entitlement process. The MVSP has since been approved, and the developer, Minor Ranch LLC (Brookfield), has been conditioned to complete roadway widening and other improvements within the Project limits. Because the original PS&E did not account for Brookfield’s conditioned improvements, revisions to the plans are now required. The Project design is currently Item Title: 10.12

95% complete, however, the plans must be updated to remove improvements that would later be replaced by Brookfield as part of their development obligations.
Under proposed Amendment No. 6, the Consultant would revise the Project plans to capture these changes. Major modifications would include adjusting roadway alignment, reducing roadway width, and removing a retaining wall included in the City’s original design. These revisions would align the City’s plans with Brookfield’s conditioned improvements and are expected to generate an estimated $1 million in savings during the construction phase of the Project. Updating the PS&E at this stage would avoid redundant work, reduce potential conflicts during construction, and ensure that the final design remains consistent with City standards.
Amendment No. 6 is necessary to authorize additional Consultant services to complete these revisions, finalize the PS&E, and allow the Project to advance to the bidding and construction phases in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. The proposed Amendment No. 6 would increase the Consultant’s compensation by $98,509.00, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement to $403,412.38. The amendment history for the Project is summarized in Table 1 below.

The area within Annexation No. 30 is included in Tentative Parcel Map 38156 (TPM 38156) and is approximately 80 gross acres of a vacant industrial lot within the City. The property is located south of Ethanac Road, east of Trumble Road, west of Dawson Road, and north of McLaughlin Road, as shown in the attached Project Location Map. The proposed maintenance services would include items such as landscaping, lighting, streets, and drainage.
Per the request of Menifee Commerce Center I, LLC, (Owner), the City would establish a rate and method of apportionment and authorize the levy of special taxes on the taxable property within Annexation No. 30 to pay for those services.
Annexation No. 30 would have a maximum annual tax of $1,686 per acre and would be included in CFD No. 2017-1 as “Tax Zone 30.” This tax rate includes Maximum Special Tax A of $1,312 per acre per year for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Special Tax B (Contingent Tax B) of $374 per acre per year. The maximum annual tax rate would escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. The attached CFD Maintenance Site Plan Exhibit illustrates which services would be maintained through the CFD.
The Owner submitted Consent and Waiver forms on file in the City Clerk's Office to:
hold the election and declare election results; and
consent to the shortening of election time requirements; and waive analysis and arguments; and
waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.
A copy of the boundary map entitled "Annexation Map No. 30, Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Maintenance Services)" was recorded on August 8, 2025, in Book 96 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts at Page 85, in the office of the Riverside County Recorder. Annexing the parcels into CFD No. 2017-1 would cover the costs of maintenance of certain public improvements associated with the development.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Thriving Economy
FISCAL IMPACT
The individual property owners in the CFD would be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the tract development, there would be an annual collection of Special Tax revenues of approximately $94,151, not including Contingent Tax B, to be used to pay for maintenance costs.
On June 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD would be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.

All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Owner. By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the development would be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD No. 2017-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.
