SUBJECT: CONSIDER CONFIRMING THE MAYOR’S RECOMMENDATION TO REAPPOINT CAROLYN RAFT TO A FOUR–YEAR TERM ON THE WEST VALLEY MOSQUITO AND
VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Currently, Carolyn Raft represents the City on the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (West Valley MVCD) Board; however, Carolyn Raft’s term of office is due to expire on January 2, 2024. As such, West Valley MVCD is requesting the City reappoint Carolyn Raft to serve as a representative on the West Valley MVCD Board for a two– or four–year term.
Pursuant to Government Code §40605, the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees.
The City Council is requested to consider confirming the Mayor’s recommendation to reappoint Carolyn Raft to a four–year term on the West Valley MVCD Board.
BACKGROUND: The West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (West Valley MVCD) is a special district that was formed in 1983 in response to the needs of the residents of the West Valley area for the reduction of mosquitoes plaguing the community. Vector control districts have existed in California for decades and are integral to the safety, health, and well–being of residents throughout the state.
West Valley MVCD’s mission is to support public health through the suppression of vector populations, reduce outbreaks of human diseases, abate public nuisances, and increase the quality of life for the residents of the West Valley. To accomplish this mission, West Valley MVCD employs integrated vector management techniques including public education and outreach, surveillance, biological control, physical control and/or habitat modification, chemical control, research, partnering with other agencies, and legal action where necessary and as governed by federal and state law.
West Valley MVCD’s boundaries include the cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and unincorporated areas of west San Bernardino County.
West Valley MVCD serves over 520,000 residents in 200 square miles of the West Valley.
Governing power is vested in a six–member Board of Trustees. One member each is appointed by the City Councils of Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Ontario, Upland, and Rancho Cucamonga with the remaining board member being appointed by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. Terms of office may be served for either two or four years.
Pursuant to Government Code §40605, the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees. As the current term of office for Trustee Raft ends on January 2, 2024, Mayor Dutrey is recommending reappointing Carolyn Raft to serve a four–year term on the West Valley MVCD Board of Trustees.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 12 of 83 FISCAL IMPACT: Confirming Mayor Dutrey’s recommendation to reappoint Carolyn Raft to a four–year on the West Valley MVCD Board would have no direct fiscal impact on the City.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council confirm the Mayor's recommendation to reappoint Carolyn Raft to a four–year term on the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District Board.

SECTION: CONSENT - ADMIN. REPORTS
ITEM NO.: 10
FILE I.D.: STA050/GRT050–D
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: M. HEREDIA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BID PROPOSALS FOR THE
ALLEYWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $2,000,000 APPROPRIATION FROM 2021 LEASE
REVENUE BOND PROCEEDS FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS RELATED TO THE
ALLEYWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing staff to advertise for bid proposals for the Alleyway Improvements Project. Amendments to the CIP, non–budgeted appropriations, and authorization to advertise for bid proposals are subject to City Council approval.
BACKGROUND: On October 18, and November 10, 2021, the City Council held workshops to discuss infrastructure projects to be supported with 2021 Lease Revenue Bond (LRB) proceeds. The workshops outlined several citywide alleyway improvements.
There are 38 alleyways in the City, 16 of which are located in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) areas. To date, ten alleyways have been reconstructed, including five in the CDBG area that were completed last year.
This project consists of 16 alleyways, three of which are located in the CDBG area that will be rehabilitated when CDBG funds are available. A map identifying locations of the subject alleyways is attached to this report.
Improvements to be completed include the full removal and replacement of existing concrete asphalt, construction of a new longitudinal concrete drainage gutter, replacement of non–compliant Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) pedestrian ramps, and new traffic legends as needed.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost is estimated to be $2,000,000 for 13 alleyways, which will be funded with 2021 Lease Revenue Bond funds. The remaining three CDBG area alleyways will use CDBG funds when available. The cost of advertising this project should not exceed $3,500.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Alleyway Improvements Project:
1. Authorize staff to advertise for bid proposals for the Project.
2. Authorize a $2,000,000 appropriation from 2021 Lease Revenue Bond funds for costs related to the Project.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2023
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 1
FILE I.D.: STA919A
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: R. HOERNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $719,800 APPROPRIATION FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA NO. III TAX ALLOCATION BOND FUND FOR COSTS RELATED TO
CONSTRUCTION OF THE ARROW HIGHWAY AND FREMONT AVENUE IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT
CONSIDER AWARD OF CONTRACT TO GENTRY BROTHERS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,588,920 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ARROW HIGHWAY AND FREMONT AVENUE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 23–75 WITH GENTRY BROTHERS, INC.
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ARROW HIGHWAY AND FREMONT AVENUE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $158,892 CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY FOR THE
ARROW HIGHWAY AND FREMONT AVENUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider awarding a contract to Gentry Brothers, Inc., in the amount of $1,588,920, authorize a $158,892 contingency, and approve Agreement No. 23–75 related to the construction of street, traffic signal upgrades, and storm drain improvements for Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 23–75 with Gentry Brothers, Inc. is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On December 2, 2019, the City Council approved the City of Montclair Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2019–20 through 2023–24 to assure that long–range capital project objectives will receive proper consideration.
Arrow Highway is part of the North Montclair revitalization effort, which includes incorporating complete streets concepts and street beautification elements. In advance of the planned Arrow Highway street improvements, a number of underground utilities need to be constructed such as a new Edison circuit system, sewer main line capacity upgrades, and storm drain pipeline improvements, delaying the full Arrow Highway street improvements. These proposed street, traffic signal, and storm drain improvements are necessary in advance of the full Arrow Highway street improvements to coordinate with the Village Partners Development project that is currently under construction and located on the north side of Arrow Highway at its intersection with Fremont Avenue.
LD King, Inc. and AGA Engineering have prepared the plans and specifications to request construction bid proposals for these improvements. On July 17, 2023, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized permission to advertise this project. The Village Partner Developer was performing potholing to confirm there were no significant obstructions that could change the design. This effort was recently completed and no substantial modifications were required, allowing the project to proceed with advertisement.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 17 of 83 On November 6, 2023, the City received and opened two (2) bid proposals for the Arrow Highway and Fremont Improvement Project. The bid results are shown in the following table:
Arrow Highway and Fremont Improvement Project
Bidder Bid Amount
Engineer’s Estimate $795,000
Gentry Brothers, Inc. $1,588,920
GCI Construction, Inc. $1,788,641
Following the bid opening, the proposals were reviewed for completeness and accuracy.
Gentry Brothers Inc. (Gentry) provided all the required documents. As a result of the significant difference between the Engineer’s estimate and the bids received, staff contacted neighboring jurisdictions to determine whether the price bid is reasonable. A review of bid summary data from these agencies indicates construction cost have recently risen significantly. Based upon this review, staff believes the price bid by Gentry to be the current market cost for these proposed improvements. Gentry has successfully completed projects for the City and other local agencies.
The City Council could elect to re–bid this project, but based on the evaluation performed by staff to validate the reasonableness of the bids received, re–bidding is unlikely to yield lower project cost results. Also, additional project advertisement costs would be incurred and the construction would be delayed. Staff recommends the City Council award the project to Gentry Brother, Inc.
The estimated construction cost for the project is as follows:
Amount
Construction $ 1,588,920
Contingency $ 158,892
Material Testing $ 21,988
Total $ 1,769,800
Funding for this project is as follows:
Amount
Previous Appropriation for Construction $ 1,050,000
Current Appropriation Request $ 719,800
Total $ 1,769,800
The anticipated project start date is January 8, 2024. The work period is broken into two segments: 70 calendar days for the base construction and 14 additional calendar days to install the traffic signal poles (a special long–lead item).
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 18 of 83 FISCAL IMPACT: The City Council previously approved a $1,050,000 appropriation for construction. Due to the high bids, staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $719,800 to complete the Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue Improvements using Redevelopment Project Area No. III Tax Allocation Bond Fund Account 1251–0000– 60020–400–19036.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Arrow Highway and Fremont Avenue Improvement Project:
1. Authorize a $719,800 appropriation from the Redevelopment Project Area No. III Tax Allocation Bond Fund for costs related to the construction of the Project;
2. Award a contract to Gentry Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $1,588,920 for the Project;
3. Approve Agreement No. 23–75 with Gentry Brothers, Inc. for the construction of the Project, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney; and
4. Authorize a $158,892 Construction Contingency for the Project.

PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 23–87 AMENDING AGREEMENT NO. 22–118 WITH SECURITAS SECURITY SERVICES USA, INC. FOR SECURITY GUARD
SERVICES AT THE MONTCLAIR TRANSCENTER
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 23–87 with Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., for security guard services at the Montclair Transcenter. Said Agreement would amend prior Agreement No. 22–118 to incorporate a rate increase imposed by the company.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 23–87 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The City currently provides security services for the Montclair Transcenter as specified in its agreement with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. The City began utilizing the services of Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. to provide these services in January 2018 under the initial contract, Agreement No. 17–
92. Since then, the agreement has been amended four times (Agreement Nos. 18–85, 20–85, 21–68, and 22–118) to incorporate increases in the hourly rate for security guard services. The term of the contract is open until terminated by either party.
Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. has notified Police Department staff of its intent to increase the hourly rate again by $0.93 effective January 1, 2024. The adjustment would result in an hourly billing rate of $31.12. The City would be billed the same hourly rate for straight hours as well as premium hours.
The company has indicated that in order to maintain its workforce, it must stay ahead of the state–mandated minimum wage rate to effectively compete against other part– time employers for recruitment and retention of qualified guards.
FISCAL IMPACT: Included in the Fiscal Year 2023–24 Budget is $225,000 in Special Contract Services Account No. 1001–4426–52450–400 for security guard services at the Montclair Transcenter. Staff intends to address any shortfalls in this account at midyear due to the hourly rate increase.

AGENDA REPORT

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 4
FILE I.D.: STA670S–1
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: M. HEREDIA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDING THE 2019–2024 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO
INCLUDE THE SILICON AVENUE AND THIRD STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 23–89 WITH RICK ENGINEERING
COMPANY FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE SILICON AVENUE AND THIRD STREET
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $144,520 APPROPRIATION FROM SB1 FUNDING FOR COSTS RELATED TO AGREEMENT NO. 23–89
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $15,480 DESIGN SERVICES CONTINGENCY FOR THE
SILICON AVENUE AND THIRD STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider taking actions related to the Silicon Avenue and Third Street Improvements Project (Project) including amending the Capital Improvement Program to include the Project, approving Agreement No. 23–89 with Rick Engineering Company to provide design services for the Project, and appropriating funds for the Project. Amendments to the Capital Improvement Program, approval of agreements for professional services with the City, and appropriation of unbudgeted funds require City Council approval.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 23–89 with Rick Engineering Company is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On June 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23–3406 allocating Senate Bill 1 (SB1) funding in Fiscal Year 2023–24 for design and construction of the Silicon Avenue Street Rehabilitation Project.
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (the title of SB1) provides funding to cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system through the creation of a Road Maintenance and Repair Account (RMRA). SB1 increased the per–gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, vehicle registration and taxes, and provides inflationary adjustments to fuel tax rates in future years.
Collected tax revenue is deposited into the RMRA and some of this funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. It is important to note that new RMRA allocations may not be used to supplant local agency general fund spending for street maintenance and rehabilitation efforts. Therefore, in addition to meeting the transparency and reporting requirements, local agencies are required to sustain existing maintenance of effort (MOE) levels by continuing general fund street expenditures as specified in the legislation. The City’s estimated MOE is $1,251,522.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 48 of 83 For FY 2023–2024, it is estimated that the City of Montclair will receive approximately $942,426 in RMRA funding. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2030, RMRA funds must be used for projects that include but are not limited to the following:
Road maintenance and rehabilitation
Safety projects
Railroad grade separations
Traffic control devices
Complete street components, including active transportation (bicycle and pedestrian) projects, transit facilities, and storm–water capture projects.
Staff solicited proposals from engineering firms for design services for the Silicon Avenue and Third Street Improvements Project. Staff received two proposals from L.D.
King and Associates and Rick Engineering Company. Staff recommends Rick Engineering because their proposal is very comprehensive and the cost is reasonable. The scope of services include the following:
Site Survey
Pavement Evaluation
Utility Coordination
Concept Development
Public Outreach
Plans, Specifications and Estimate
Bid Support
Construction Support
As–built Drawings
Rick Engineering has performed engineering services for many public agencies. They have offices in Orange, Las Vegas, Riverside, Sacramento, Santa Clarita, San Diego, and San Luis Obispo. They understand the work to be performed and have availability to perform the desired services.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost associated with Agreement No. 23–89 with Rick Engineering is $144,520. Staff is requesting an additional $15,480 appropriation as a contingency if additional work is required beyond the scope of services for a total request of $160,000. These services would be funded by SB1 funds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Silicon Avenue and Third Street Improvements Project:
1. Amend the 2019–2024 Capital Improvement Program to include the Project;
2. Approve Agreement No. 23–89 with Rick Engineering, Inc. for design services for the Project, subject to any revisions necessary by the City Attorney;
3. Authorize a $160,000 appropriation from SB1 funding for costs related to Agreement No. 23–89; and
4. Authorize a $15,480 design services contingency for the Project.

(c) SubConsultants and Indemnification. Consultant agrees to and shall obtain executed indemnity agreements in favor of the Indemnified Parties with provisions identical to those set forth from each and every SubConsultant, Sub consultant, or other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of any aspect of this Agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations, Consultant shall be fully responsible for each and every SubConsultant, Subconsultant or other person or entity in terms of defense, indemnity and hold harmless obligations in favor of the Indemnified Parties as set forth above.
This obligation to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Parties is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the full performance or termination of this Agreement. These indemnification provisions are independent of and shall not in any way be limited or superseded by the insurance requirements and insurance-related provisions of this Agreement.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 54 of 83 Agreement 23-89
(d) City Lost or Damaged Property – Theft. Consultant further agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Parties’ benefit, any and all damages, fines, penalties, and loss or theft of property of the City arising out of or related in any way to the negligent acts or omissions or intentional misconduct of Consultant or of Consultant’s officers, agents, representatives, employees, independent Consultants, subConsultants or affiliated or related entities and/or its or their employees, agents and representatives, whether such actions, omissions to act, negligence or intentional conduct is or was authorized by this Agreement or not.

The indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether this Agreement is executed after Consultant begins the work and shall extend to claims arising after this Agreement is performed or terminated, including a dispute as to the termination of Consultant. The indemnity obligations of Consultant shall continue until it is determined by final judgment that the claim against the City and any Indemnified Parties is determined by final judgment and after exhaustion of any rights of appeal. Further, no aspect of this provision shall impact the City’s rights to contribution from Consultant, or for the City to dispute Consultant’s refusal to defend and indemnify City. (f) Limitations on Scope of Indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall not be responsible for indemnification for claims or losses caused by the sole negligence or intentional wrongdoing of Indemnified Parties. Further, the indemnity provided shall be interpreted as broadly as permitted under California law and as to agreements between parties and shall if required be reformed to be consistent with those laws to protect and save this provision for the protection of the Indemnified Parties.
(g) The obligations of Consultant under this or any other provision of this Agreement shall not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. The Consultant expressly waives any statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to the Indemnified Parties. The Consultant’s indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 9 shall not be limited by the limits of any policies of insurance required or provided by the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. (h) The Consultant’s covenant under this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

RD STREET.
RICK ENGINEERING COMPANY PROPOSAL NUMBER 2023.01
Dear Ms. Heredia,
Thank you for the opportunity to propose on the street improvement design for Silicon Ave from State St. to Mission Blvd, and 3rd St. from Silicon Ave. to the east end of 3rd Street. The proposal describes our scope of work for preparing the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the said street improvement plans.
Project Understanding:
The City wishes to repave Silicon Ave. from State St. to Mission Blvd, and 3rd St. from Silicon Ave. to the east end of 3rd St. In addition to the paving work, the city wishes to construct new sidewalks, curb and gutter, access ramps, and driveways, along the sections of Silicon Ave as shown on Exhibit A.
I. PROJECT SCOPE:
Prepare Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for Silicon Ave. from State St. to Mission Blvd.
Prepare base map for 3rd St. from Silicon Ave. to the east end of 3rd St. for future project. Provide public outreach service to the residents for the area.
A. Site Survey/Base Map (subconsultant)
• Topographic survey of Silicon Ave from State St to Mission Blvd, and 3rd Street from Silicon Ave to East End located in the City of Montclair, San Bernardino County, California. The purpose of the topographic survey for 3rd Street from Silicon Ave to East end is to create a base map for future design project. • A combination of Trimble R8-4 GPS and Trimble SX12 Robotic Total Station equipment will be used to collect 25’ cross sections within the project right-of-way. The topographic survey will capture all existing site features and surface utilities within the project area and extend into all cross street approximately 50’ past the BCR.
• The survey will be tied horizontally to the California State Plan coordinate system NAD83 (2017.50 Epoch). Vertically, the survey will be tied to NAVD 88 (1995 Adjustment) based upon observed San Bernardino County public works benchmarks.
Exhibit A to Agreement No. 23-89
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 11/20/2023 Page 65 of 83 September 14, 2023

• The topographic survey will be delivered in AutoCAD 2022 Civil3D format with contours generated at 1-foot intervals.
B. Pavement Evaluation – (subconsultant)
• Coordinate locations for exploratory work (RICK)
• Roadway Testing (sub)
o The field-testing portion of our work consists of deflection testing and coring the pavement to determine the asphalt layer thickness. Deflection tests will be performed at 100-foot maximum intervals in each lane. Coring will be performed at 500-foot maximum intervals over the street segment. The deflection analysis will be performed in general accordance with CTM 356. Moving traffic control will be provided by a follow vehicle with flashing lights. Flagging will be provided as necessary. Our work excludes marking core locations and coordinating with USA. o To assist us with the evaluation, we will measure the full structural section (AC & AB) at each core location. We will also collect native soil samples that will be used to determine the R-value using California Test CT 301.
• Testing Summary and Engineering Report (sub)
o The engineering report summarizes our deflection analysis and contains rehabilitation and reconstruction options for each street segment tested. Rick Engineering will be responsible for providing PEI with the traffic indexes. We will explore all possible rehabilitation options, including pulverization and resurfacing, milling and filling, conventional HMA overlay and RHMA overlays, as well as recycling options such as FDR and CIR. Additionally, we will evaluate reconstruction alternatives of full depth HMA replacement and HMA over aggregate base. Included with the report are deflection summary sheets, photos and a visual description of the street segment.

Notes on Negative Cash Balances
(1) The General Operating Fund may have a negative cash for the majority of the fiscal year awaiting property and sales tax collections. This is covered by the Contingency Fund and other General Fund Reserve Funds until those collections are received. As Contingency and General Reserves exceed this negative, the City is not utilizing restricted resources. (2) These are reimbursable grant funds that utilize general pool monies initially to cover expenditures pending reimbursement from the granting agencies. Therefore, it is not uncommon for these to be negative until that reimbursement is received. (3) This fund has operational deficits annually. At the end of the fiscal year it is restored by a General Fund Transfer. (4) The Infrastructure Fund receives transfers from other funds to accomplish infrastructure projects. Those transfers are usually recorded when the projects nears completion or prior to mid-year budget preparation. Any negative in that fund will be eliminated at those times. Transfers from these funds (C.D.B.G., Gas Tax, Measure I, etc.) may go negative on cash pending collections of these revenues. In this way we can determine if obligations for projects are exceeding current resources. (5) This debt service operation utilizes transaction and use taxes which are part of the sales tax and Successor Agency property taxes. These have been sufficient in prior fiscal years to cover the necessary debt service; however, they are not completely received until fiscal year-end. Once debt service is covered the excess will be transferred to the General Fund.
