ISCAL IMPACT
T
he City of Montebello’s employees are represented by ten (10) different employee associations. Each of these employee associations is comprised of specific job classifications, separated by miscellaneous/non- safety groups and safety groups (i.e., Fire and Police). Salaries, benefits, fringe benefits and other related items are detailed in comprehensive, City Council approved Memoranda of Understanding, one for each group. The MOUs for the MFA and MSA groups expired December 31, 2021. As detailed below, management has been engaged in labor negotiations since November 2021 to discuss successor MOUs.
T
hese negotiations have been focused on salaries – based upon the results of the recently completed, comprehensive Classification and Compensation study. Thi s study 11 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022 Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
has been requested by every employee association over a number of years. The goal of the study was to review salary and benefits for all Montebello job classifications , compared to an agreed upon “comparator group” of seventeen (17) similar cities. Results from this study were presented to the City Council in summer 2021, and shared with all employee groups in August 2021, including numerous “town hall” meetings held to explain the study and its conclusions.
The Classification and Compensation study indicated that Montebello salaries (i.e., base pay) were behind the market, with the “market” defined as the agreed upon comparator group of similar cities. The study concluded that 83% of positions were more than 5% behind the market. The study found that, on average, Montebello is 21% behind market on the salary ranges of its positions.
Staff presented these findings to the City Council and the various employee associations during the summer of 2021. The intent of this study was to determi ne a path for labor negotiations. Typically, labor negotiations have been approached with a simple, across the board, “cost of living adjustment” (COLA) proposal format. However, as evidenced by the study data, this COLA approach has led to the City being behind the market in the wages offered – with some positions more than 25% behind the market.
Management intended to take a new approach to labor negotiations, with the intent of bringing salary ranges closer to market. This approach required a new way of thinking – moving individual job classifications at different rates (percentages) versus offering an across the board, one-size-fits-all COLA to all positions in an association. The outcome would bring all job classifications to market rates, in addition to the creation of a comprehensive salary schedule.
The benefit of using the Classification and Compensation study data was to bring fairness and equity to labor negotiations. Management presented this approach to the City Council and received direction to bring all salaries “to market” within three years. With this direction from the City Council, Management began labor negotiation discussions in November 2021. The focus for this round of labor negotiations was on base salaries and establishing – for the first time in the City’s history for all positions – a comprehensive salary schedule with defined ranges and steps.
Management presented this approach to the associations through individual meetings (per the meet and confer process), explaining that the focus of negotiations would be on base salaries, with the knowledge that the study indicated health benefits were also behind market. However, as the City continues to work towards fiscal stability, limited resources require the focus on salaries first, with the intent of reviewing health benefits during the next round of successor MOU discussions.

Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
Through the numerous negotiation meetings, additional fringe benefits were discussed – besides base salaries – and both sides eventually agreed to adjustments in certain non- base salary fringe benefit items. For example, the three non-safety groups (i.e., MCEA, MMMA, and MMPA) with which the City Council ratified MOUs at the April 27, 2022, meeting will begin receiving fixed dollar compensation for Bachelor and Master Degrees.
These groups will also begin receiving “certification pay” for certifications that are not mandated to meet the classification’s minimum job requirement criteria and have an annual or bi-annual renewal process or examination. There is also a change to bilingual pay compensation, which offers up to $150/month for individual s who can successfully demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak a second language.
These additional benefits will be identical for the MSA group’ s MOU, additional monthly compensation for degrees, pay for position enrichment certifications and enhance d bilingual pay. The goal with labor negotiations has been about fairness and equity , as evidenced by all four non-safety groups receiving the same fringe benefit enhancements.
The MFA will see increases in longevity and the addition of State of California and Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Technician ( EMT) license or Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic license pay. Fire Engineers and Fire Captains will qualify for the incentive to maintain their EMT license or their Paramedic license . Additionally the practice of covering gym costs for employees at full cost continues with the clarification that employees are expec ted to engage in exercise activities once per segment.
Moreover, the City and the MFA tentatively agreed to fully reimbursing these employees for annual paramedic recertification at the full current cost.
The tables below provide an overview and summary of the updates to non- salary fringe benefit items for the employee associations indicated (MSA and MFA):

In general, it is difficult to determine the fiscal impact for the new certification pay being offered to the non- safety groups. Also, since the City currently offers bilingual pay to all employees who successfully pass the testing criteria, the impact of the new three- tier approach will be minimal once fully implemented.
The largest dollar impact of the fringe benefit items will be from the improved longevity pay for the MFA employees, as well as the updated EMT/Paramedic certification pay.
MFA employees’ longevity pay was the following:
• 3% for 10 years
• 4.5% for 15 years
• 6% for 20 years
• 7.5% for 25 years
The improved longevity pay for Firefighters, Fire Engineers and Fire Captains will still be comprised of four tiers, however, the ranges have been lowered to allow longevity to be earned beginning with the fifth year of service (vs. the tenth year) . Also, the percent of base pay amounts have been increased, now topping out at 13% vs. 7.5% (see table above). Currently, longevity pay for MFA employees cost approximately $137,700 per year. The updated proposals would increase this cost to approximately $327,300 per year, an $189,600 increase over twelve months.
The change to longevity for the MFA helps with equity as well as retention and recruitment within the City’s fire service. Lowering the range to allow longevity pay to begin at 5 years (vs. 10) is intended to attract and retain thereby , reducing the need for constant recruitments as firefighters leave to other agencies for improved pay and benefits.
The largest cost increase of the new MOUs is related to base pay. As noted above, City Council provided direction to bring all classifications to market within three years.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
Through negotiations, the overwhelming majority of classifications will be at market within two years. Given the expiration of the prior MOUs in December, salary adjustments will be retroactive to January 1, 2022, for both MSA and MFA.
Therefore, there will be salary costs in the current fiscal year for six months of salary adjustments. Furthermore, salary adjustments will then occur the first period of each July, beginning in 2022, then 2023 and finally 2024 (with MOUs expiring June 30, 2025).
The table below summarizes the annual cost, broken out by non- safety (i.e., MSA) and safety (i.e., MFA):
FY 2021-22 FY 2022-23 FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25
MSA $6,557 $8,968 $7,490 $13,819
MFA $62,616 $113,696 $89,570 $89,570
TOTAL $69,173 $122,664 $97,059 $103,388
It should be noted that a portion of the costs associated with the MSA group will be charged to various non-General Fund sources, since some employees in the various non- safety groups charge their time to Local Return Fund, CDBG or other special funds. The budget impacts of these salary adjustments will be analyzed for Fiscal Year 2021-22, and if necessary subsequent City Council action to amend the budget will be recommended.
The FY 2022-23 budget will be built utilizing the updated salary ranges, with the estimated increase to base salaries indicated above accounted for in each department. Budget presentations will be made for FY 2022-23 assuming the projected salary cost increases noted above. Subsequent budgets will be developed with the updated salaries.
In addition to the base salary and fringe benefit improvements, the City and the MFA and MSA employee groups tentatively agreed to two (2) additional paid Holidays: Juneteenth (June 19
th) and Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day (2 nd Monday in October). The City will also provide true holiday leave, instead of requiring employees to use their own annual leave for a recognized City holiday. As detailed in each respective MOU document, a holiday leave bank will be provided to each employee. This holiday leave bank increases total leave available to employees , and does not negatively impact their earned vacation accrual.
The Classification and Compensation study also identified that employee leave banks were behind the market. As a remedy, the City proposed to eliminate Annual Leave (AL) and freeze it for members to use during service and or to sell hours during service and at separation. The AL is replaced with vacation and sick leave accruals for all employee groups, in an effort to better align with the market.
Management firmly believes the packages negotiated with the employee groups are fair and equitable. Most importantly, the salary increases will bring the City’s employees up CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
to market pay rates before the end of the MOU term, as directed by the City Council. This is an important accomplishment that helps with recruitment and retention – two important goals in helping Montebello progress and accomplish more.
The City’s improved financial standing has allowed for the propos ed MOUs to be negotiated and agreed upon. Management feels strongly that the negotiated packages of increased wages and improved fringe benefits are fiscally sustainable, and necessary for Montebello to remain competitive in the public sector labor market.
BACKGROUND
The City of Montebello has ten (10) separate and distinct employee associations. All employees are represented by one of these ten associations – depending upon job classification and whether the position is safety (i.e, Fire or Police) or non-safety. Each employee association has a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding which governs pay, benefits and other aspects of employment. The most recent set of MOUs expired on December 31, 2021.
Management has been engaged with all employee associations for the past six months in active labor negotiations. In addition, Staff has been meeting with each employee group since the summer of 2021 to discuss the Classification and Compensation study, and its results. The following paragraphs outline the timeline and path taken from the initiation of the Classification and Compensation study through the presentation of successor MOUs.
In April 2020, t he City initiated an RFP and identified an approved vendor to perform a Classification and Compensation study . The City selected Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to conduct this study. Additionally, in September 2020, the City met with each employee group to discuss the process for conduc ting the Classification and Compensation study.
The City and employee associations met and conferred on the comparable cities to which the data would be surveyed – the “market” against which Montebello’s salary and benefits would eventually be compared. The employee groups had the opportunity to provide input and agreed to the study and all of its components. Moreover, in October 2020, the City met with the various associations to discuss the data that would be examined. Over the years, most employee groups have requested a Classification and Compensation study be conducted as part of each round of negotiations.
In August 2021, the Human Resources Department met with employee groups to present the findings of the study. The Administration and Human Resources Departments began to prepare for negotiations for the period of January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025. The current Memoranda for all associations expired December 31, 2021.

Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
In November and December 2021, respectively, the City met with MFA Board President Joel Bonilla and MSA Board President Vanessa Padilla . City Manager René Bobadilla, Assistant City Manager Arlene Salazar, Director of Finance Michael Solorza and the Human Resources Department were in attendance. The City met separately with each employee group and provided a proposal for the successor MOU. The associations were given time to review the proposals and identify questions for clarification and or craft their counter-proposal, with subsequent meetings held as necessary to analyze each proposal and counter-proposal.
The City held multiple labor negotiation meetings and continued the meet and confer process with each employee group over the past six months . During the negotiation meetings, the City provided clarifications for follow up and revised provisions that the groups then took back to their membership for review and ratification. Findings from the Classification and Compensation study were presented, indicating the relative change in pay for each classification, along with describing and explaining the new comprehensive salary schedule. Again, the approach for this round of MOU updates was to bring salary ranges for all classifications to market within three years.
MFA and the Cit y have tentatively agreed to the Comprehensive Memoranda being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative polices that includes relevant provisions (see also the summary table in “Fiscal Impact” section above):
o Salary increases per the Classification and Compensation study o Longevity
o EMT/Paramedic Certification Pay
o Bilingual Pay
o Paramedic Re-Certification Reimbursement
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals
At this time, the MFA employee group has tentatively agreed that the Comprehensive Memoranda of Understanding being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative policies accurately identify those items that were tentatively agreed upon and all current active provisions from preceding MOU between the City and the MFA .
These Comprehensive MOU memorialize salary, benefits and related items already included in the MOU currently in effect for these groups.
MSA and the City have tentatively agreed to the Comprehensive MOU being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative polices that include these provisions:
o Salary increases per the Classification and Compensation study o Education/Certification Incentive Pay
o Bilingual Pay
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
At this time, the MSA has tentatively agreed that the MOU being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative policies accurately identify those items that were tentatively agreed upon and all current active provisions from preceding MOU between the City and the MSA. The various Comprehensive MOU memorialize salary, benefits and related items already included in the comprehensive MOU currently in effect for these groups.
The effective dates and term of the proposed updated MOUs are January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025. The remaining groups that the City continues to meet and confer with are Police Management Association (MPMA), Montebello Police Officers’ Association (MPOA), and Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Wor kers – Transportation Division (SMART-TD).
SUMMARY
The City Council have approved MOUs that detail the salary, benefits and related matters of employment for the classifications represented by each group within the City. These MOUs expired December 31, 2021. Management has been engaged in active labor negotiations through the meet and confer process since November 2021. The basis for negotiations has been the results of the Classification and Compensation study completed in the summer of 2021.
Prior to the study being completed, in September 2020, the City met and conferred with MFA and MSA to initiate the Classification and Compensation study. The City successfully engaged in Labor Negotiations, from November 2021 through April 2022, to reach tentative agreements with MFA and MSA for new contract s with terms of January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025.
The single largest cost item of the new, proposed MOUs is the increase to base salaries.
The City Council previously provided direction to Management to bring all salaries to market rate within three years. The proposed, updated MOU s accomplish this City Council direction, utilizing data from seventeen (17) public agencies to establish the “market” against which Montebello salary ranges were compared.
In addition to updating salary ranges , other fringe benefit items (monetary and non- monetary) were improved and updated as part of the labor negotiation process:
o Longevity
o EMT/Paramedic Certification Pay
o Bilingual Pay
o Paramedic Re-Certification Reimbursement
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals o Education/Certification Incentive Pay
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -32 and 22- 33 adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Firefighters Association and the City and the Monteb ello Supervisors Association
Implementation of these Memoranda will begin to align the City of Montebello with current market rates to allow the City to better retain and attract employees . The City wor ked diligently to update the MOU provisions to align with the new points of agreement and made a concerted effort to remove any lan guage in the MOUs that was unclear or antiquated. Implementation of the structured salary schedule will also allow for transparency and ease of administration of employee salary increases , and will be the first time in Montebello’s history that a comprehensive salary schedule exists for all classifications.
It is being requested that the City Council approve a Resolution to adopt successor MOUs between the City and the MFA and MSA employee groups to cover the period from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025.

T
he total estimated expense for the additional architectural & engineering services is $188,790. City Council is being asked to amend the Fiscal Year 2021- 22 Golf Fund budget, by increasing appropriations by $188,790 in Account No. 610-99-6040.80.
T
he costs associated with transforming the golf course will be paid utilizing bond proceeds from a future bond issuance. Prior to the issuance of any bonds, a firm construction estimate is needed in order to properly size the bonds (i.e., finance the proper amount to cover associated expenses of the project). The recommended additional architectural 12 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022 Authorize the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 3937 with SPORTFIVE Golf, LLC for Additional Architectural & Engineering Services for the Montebello Municipal Golf Course Renovation Project
and engineering services will be utilized to prepare a complete and accurate estimate.
Once the financing is secured, costs associated with these services will be reimbursed by bond proceeds. It is anticipated that bond financing will occur prior to September 2022.
Therefore, the Golf Fund will be reimbursed accordingly.
BACKGROUND
On November 10, 2021, the City Council awarded Professional Services Agreement No. 3937 to SPORTFIVE Golf, LLC in the amount of $1,238,290 for the design of the Montebello Municipal Golf Course Renovation Project . The agreement was in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-1. The design is progressing and is currently 65% completed.
Additional design services are required to address various project elements that were not contemplated as part of the original project scope and/or to address conditions that have changed during the development of the design. The additional services are summarized as follows:
1. Additional Engineering Services ($ 141,540) - The additional services include: 1) The repair and resurfacing of the existing parking lots for the Quiet Cannon (Bicknell Park parking lots) was added to the project since they are deteriorated and refurbishment will provide a more complete campus renovation project; 2) The existing guard shack at the entrance near Garfield Ave requires relocation and will be replaced with a new building in order to accommodate the new entry road leading to the new club house and Topgolf; 3) Design of the new entry road was added to the golf course project so that the City maintains full control of the entry road, including street lighting; and 4) Design of utility services was not part of the original scope since the utility needs were not known until preliminary design work was completed.
2. Outdoor Event Center at Existing Proshop Area ($5,250) – The existing practice putting greens outside of the existing Golf Proshop will be redesigned into an outdoor event lawn area. These practice greens will not be functional or necessary once the new golf course is constructed. This added work will provide a new functional space and provide a transition from the Quiet Cannon facility to the new golf course.
3. Lake Design ($29,400) – A new lake was added to the design of the re-imagined golf course during the design development. The new lake is located at Hole No. 2 and will significantly improve the play and aesthetics of the new 9-hole golf course.
Additionally, the existing lake near Via San Clemente was expanded to improve the play and aesthetics of the new 6- hole lighted golf course. The services also include minor refurbishment of the existing lake at the center of the golf course.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 11, 2022
Authorize the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 3937 with SPORTFIVE Golf, LLC for Additional Architectural & Engineering Services for the Montebello Municipal Golf Course Renovation Project
4. Additional Electrical Design Services ($8,925) – This service was added to the club house architect’s services to provide electrical service to subpanels from the main electrical panel of the club house. The subpanels are required to power added features t o the golf course design including : 1) The new and existing refurbished lake pumping and lighting systems; 2) Lighting for the 6- hole golf course; 3) A new irrigation booster pump station; and 4) The gazebo structure added to the outdoor event lawn area adjacent to the new club house.
5. Design of New Irrigation Booster Pump Station ($3,675) – The existing irrigation booster pump station located at the service connection for reclai med water near Garfield Avenue is not supplying adequate and consistent pressure for the reclaimed water irrigation system that waters most of the turf. The pump’s auto shutoff system activates frequently due to insufficient water flow from the reclaimed water service. This causes inadequate pressure in the irrigation system and the sprinkler heads experience insufficient coverage resulting in dead turf areas. The irrigation designer has recommended the addition of an irrigation booster pump station pumping from one of the lakes which will act as a reservoir to ensure a consistent and adequate water supply.
The contract amount for SPORTFIVE Golf, LLC increases from $1,238,290 to $1,427,080.
SUMMARY
Upon the approval of the City Council of the recommended Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 3937, staff will coordinate the completion of the added services and the design of the golf course with SPORTFIVE Golf, LLC. A budget amendment in the amount of $188,790 is required, increasing appropriations for Fiscal Year 2021-22 in Account No. 610-99-6040.80 (Golf Fund).

No such subcontract, delegation or assignment shall result in any increase in the amount of total compensation payable to CONTRACTOR under the Agreement.

Project: Montebello Golf Course
1.0 INTRODUCTION & SCOPE OF SERVICES
This Additional Work Authorization (AWA) is for add itional engineering, survey, and dry utility coordination services related to the Montebello Gol f Course. The following Scope of Services outlines the identified additional tasks required for the successful completion of the project.
Bicknell Park, Parking Lot Maintenance Plan
DRC was requested to prepare separate plans (but as part of the overall Montebello Golf Course renovation) by city staff for necessary parking lot maintenance. These plans are intended to rehabilitate the existing parking lots in the South east corner generally around the Armenian Genocide Memorial and the existing Via San Clemente Road. This scope includes:
• Three (3) days additional field topography in orde r to supplement aerial topography • A site visit will be conducted in order to perform a parking analysis identifying existing parking stalls (the analysis excludes any building area basis calculations) • Final plans will include layout modifications to p rovide current CBC required Accessible parking stalls and minor grading changes necessary for slope compliance (Accessible parking stall requirement will be based on parking lot stalls) • Plan pavement rehabilitation will identify and dif ferentiate between areas of grind and overlay versus full pavement section replacement
• Plans will include dimensional layout and necessar y striping details for completion • Overall plans will be prepared at 1” = 40’ graphic scale, with necessary ADA blow-up details prepared at 1” = 10’
• Plans will maintain existing drainage conditions/l ocations
Bicknell Park SWPPP
Parking Lot Maintenance is anticipated to cover app roximately paved area in excess of nine (9) acres. Exact limits of pavement removal replacemen t and grading changes for ADA have not been established but are assumed to exceed one acre and this work may occur independently of planned golf course work. DRC shall prepare permit registration documents to satisfy the requirements of NPDES regulations for the site duri ng construction operations for the proposed Project Area Improvements. This task requires the property owner, as the legally responsible party, to file a notice of intent (NOI) with the State Water Resources Control Board using the storm water multiple application and report tracking s ystem (SMARTS) and designation of DRC as the data submitter. DRC will prepare and post the SWPPP that will include construction based BMPs to address the discharge of runoff, pollutants of concern, erosion control measures and sediment control measures. The risk level will be determined in accordance with the current guidelines.
When the project is complete, a notice of terminati on (NOT) will be filed using the SMARTS system. Construction phase SWPPP revisions, annual reports, sampling results, inspection reports and training of personnel are not included in this proposal. These tasks shall be performed by the general contractor.
Scope of Services and Fees: March 21, 2022
Job No. 21-167
Guard Shack Relocation
DRC will prepare single sheet plan to relocate Course entry guard shack from its current location to new location set-back from the proposed entry road intersection with Via San Clemente. Plan will provide necessary information to make minor pavement grading adjustments for a new guard shack building (by others) and provide accessible path of travel from the guard shack to the public walk. Based on discussion with city staff it was understood the new building would not need utility connections.
Dry Utility Coordination (Elec-Tel-CATV-Gas)
The following subtasks will be performed as part of the on-site dry utility coordination:
Preliminary Dry Utility Coordination
• Site Evaluation/Due Diligence- Visit the site to l ocate/identify existing facilities and establish possible points of connection for new services. Ide ntify existing facilities that may pose a conflict with construction of the project. Order utility facilities maps from public utility purveyors and make contact with the appropriate public utilit y planning and engineering personnel.
Provide information to the Client with findings and recommendations based on the site visit, facility map review and contact with the utility planners. • Dry Utility Service Removals- DRC will work with e ach utility and the client as required to provide the required information to secure all appl icable service removal work orders. This task includes processing of any contract payments related to the removal of the utility service to the existing Snack Shack building. Once the serv ice removal work order has been generated by the utility, DRC will track the progre ss with the utility and notify the client of timing to complete.
• Preliminary Redline Composite Exhibit- Prepare a p reliminary redline composite exhibit to determine the best mainline trench alignment, service laterals and structure locations to meet the project needs. This plan will be circulated to the members of the development team for comments, with the final deliverable being a trench and structure location exhibit that DRC will provide to each utility for formal advancement of the design process.
Final Dry Utility Coordination
• Client Letters of Authorization/Furnished Informat ion Prepare the Client Information Package that include s utility forms that need to be executed and returned to public utility purveyors as part of the design submittal package. Coordinate with the development team (client, civil, architect, consultants) to secure information needed to facilitate the designs from the utility purveyor s to include, but not limited to: equipment loads, single-line drawings, panel detail schedules , appliance breakdown, electrical and gas meter locations, telephone demarcation location, gas loads, and construction schedules. • Utility Formatted AutoCAD Base File
DRC will prepare one (1) AutoCAD Base file formatted per the utility requirements and submit to each utility for the utilities use in designing the new distribution system. • Distribute Submittal Packages
DRC will prepare and submit to each utility agency a full set of civil, architectural and landscape plans as well as the required utility doc uments in order for the utility to properly design the new distribution system and prepare the work order packages. • Process Preliminary Utility Plans / Design Revisio ns As part of the design process, we will receive preliminary utility designs for review prior to the issuance of Final Designs. DRC will work with the d evelopment team to revise the designs and incorporate site changes throughout the design development process. DRC will work directly with the utilities to secure the final construction documents. • Process Utility Payments, Agreements and Easements
Scope of Services and Fees: March 21, 2022
Job No. 21-167
With each work order package, the utility will prep are contracts and invoices related to the scope of work in that particular work order. We wil l review the contracts and invoices and process the packages to the client for execution an d payment and then back to the utility company.
