implemented and updated every three years. A PMP provides a formal systematic approach to assessing, monitoring, and managing the condition of highway pavements in the most cost-effective manner. The results of the study help determine the most appropriate locations and the optimum approach to pavement rehabilitation.

A basic PMP involves dividing the City's street network into segments of approximately one-block lengths. The segments are evaluated by counting the number of cracks, measuring the size and type of cracking and collecting other pavement surface information. The measurements are analyzed mathematically and each segment is given a condition rating number (between 0 and 100) that is used to rank the streets in the order of their conditions. Combined with data on traffic volumes and pavement thicknesses, the program processes the condition data and produces recommendations for which streets to repair, in what order, the optimum method of repair, and the estimated costs. This information is used to prioritize and schedule street rehabilitation through the long-range Capital Improvement Program ( “ CIP”) and budget
process. The local street system is also monitored and managed by the PMP.

The City’s PMP was last updated in May 2022. The last update included a pavement condition index report showing the present condition of each street in the City’s pavement network. It also included recommended maintenance and repair strategies for Arterials, Collectors and Local Streets. Additionally, the report provided an assessment and incorporated unit cost for each strategy.

On October 9, 2024, the Public Works Director solicited proposals to update the City’s PMP, which identified a deadline of November 7, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Two proposals were received before the deadline: NCE, and Bucknam Infrastructure Group.

The proposals were reviewed by the Public Works Director for completeness, relevant experience, scope of services provided, qualifications of proposed project team, proposed schedule and cost effectiveness. Both consultants are very qualified, with equally impressive proposals and provided services to the City in the past. The bid submitted by NCE is the lowest monetary cost.

Proposal to Provide Pavement Management Program Update
Dear Mr. Igoe and Members of the Selection Committee:

Pavement networks are often the most valuable asset that an agency owns. This asset is not only expensive to replace but is an essential component to the traveling public’s safety. Agencies are looking for more cost-effective ways to perform engineering, maintenance, management, and rehabilitation of roadways more than ever before to stretch funding allocations.

An essential tool to assist in cost-effective roadway maintenance planning is a current pavement management program (PMP) and current accurate pavement condition data.

The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) provides approximately $1.6 million for FY2024/25 for the City of Monterey Park (City). In addition, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will provide more than $40 billion in funds for infrastructure and transportation systems for California agencies. However, additional funding comes with new requirements; an updated PMP is an essential tool to support agencies in not just reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), but also future efforts to pursue additional funding or grant applications.

Summary of Key Elements of the Proposal
As part of this project , NCE will partner with the City to develop a PMP database, recommend rehabilitation strategies to improve pavement conditions, develop a seven- year rehabilitation program, provide on-site StreetSaver® training and technical support, and assist with presentations to appropriate City staff and elected officials. In addition to the PMP, NCE will also provide asset data collection services. i.e., road right-of-way (ROW) assets such as sidewalks, traffic signs, curb ramps, pavement traffic markings and striping, curb markings, manholes and valves.

NCE is a nationally recognized pavement and asset management firm with broad capabilities and expertise in the areas of asset and pavement management systems as well as civil and pavement design, and training. The NCE team has more than 100 person years of combined experience with PMPs and asset collections. Our highly trained technical staff are experienced in data collection and have worked together on numerous asset and pavement management projects in California as shown on the map to the right. They have developed an excellent reputation for dedication, integrity, productivity, quality of work, and service to our clients. In addition, NCE is a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) certified consultant, with widespread experience providing distress and updating the StreetSaver® PMP database(s). Our team is pleased to offer the City:
 Extensive local PMP experience (90 cities/counties in Southern California).  StreetSaver® experience and proficiency.
 Expertise in pavement engineering.
 OCTA and MTC-certified inspectors and data collection vehicle  Innovative pavement strategies with sustainable options  Experienced with developing work plan(s) based on PCI only.  Highly skilled in data collection of non-pavement assets.  Rigorous quality control practices.

NCE as a Company
Nichols Consulting Engineers, CHTD. (legal name/dba NCE ) is a client-focused professional consulting firm integrating the disciplines of engineering, science, and planning to address the infrastructure and resource challenges facing our communities today and in the future . Distinct from other civil engineering firms, we have specialized in pavement technology, encompassing pavement management, design, and research for over thirty years.

Our firm has been in business for over 34 years and during this time, we have also performed pavement condition surveys ranging from state highways in 12 states to local street networks in over 220 cities and counties in California. We have surveyed over 120,000 miles of pavements, including alleys, trails, and parking lots. Our field data collection ranges from walking surveys as per the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) or StreetSaver® protocols to using specialized automated equipment to collect data such as pavement distresses, roughness, structural strength (deflection testing) to asset data (signs, signals, curb ramps, marking, sidewalks, etc.). The automated approach not only saves time and money but is also safe. In addition, it allows the majority (~100%) of the network to be surveyed as compared to the walking survey where only a sample of the network is surveyed. In addition, roadside assets such as traffic signs, curb ramps, pavement stripping, and sidewalks can also be collected and inventoried in the same mobilization as the automated survey. Our relevant services include PMP, asset management, pavement evaluation, testing and design, pavement impact studies, civil engineering, as well as the research and design of sustainable and innovative pavement technologies. NCE was established in 1990, and we have since grown to 125+ employees in seven offices across California, Nevada, and Arizona.

For this contract, NCE has teamed with märker geospatial, LLC (märker) to conduct automated surveys (6D LiDAR). märker’s testing vehicle and staff are also MTC and OCTA certified, further ensuring that we meet the accuracy requirements specified by MTC and OCTA. NCE has worked with märker staff for over a decade on dozens of PMPs for cities and counties where the technology is appropriate, including recently for the Cities of Anaheim, Baldwin Park, Beaumont, Burbank, Corona, Diamond Bar, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Bernardino, and Thousand Oaks, and the Counties of Orange and San Diego. We have also included Transconomy LLC (Transconomy ) for automated asset inventory development. Transconomy provides cutting-edge tools for collecting roadway images and automatically extracting assets to create GIS-based inventories of transportation infrastructure using AI and Machine Learning. NCE has teamed with Transconomy staff on local transportation asset management projects for the Cities of San Bernardino, Beaumont, Beverly Hills, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Maria.

This contract will be managed by our new office in Anaheim, which is situated less than 30 miles from the City. We can respond and be at the City’s offices or project site within minutes if needed. NCE has the capability to deliver responsive, cost-effective, and high-quality pavement management and pavement engineering services. NCE will accomplish these services through a systematic and organized method of work and communication. As NCE's proposed Client/Project Manager, I will be the City’s primary contact for all correspondence during the proposal evaluation process. As a Principal at NCE, I am authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the firm. My contact information is provided below.

3. Approach and Scope of Work
Project Understanding Summary
NCE understands that the City of Monterey Park (City) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide professional engineering services to update the City's Pavement Management Program. The City may also choose to add additional services identified as optional for the inventory of certain assets listed in the (RFP) document.

The City’s pavement network comprises approximately 99 centerline miles of publicly maintained streets. The City’s network is in “Fair” condition with an average PCI of 68 as of March 2024. Table 1 below summarizes the portion of the City’s network in each condition category by functional class. More than half of the network pavement is in “Excellent” or “Good” condition.

Table 1. Pavement Condition Breakdown by Functional Class Condition Category PCI Range Pavement Condition Breakdown (% Area) Residentials Arterials/Collectors All Functional Classes Excellent 85 – 100 43.6% 29.6% 37.7%
Good 70 – 84 9.5% 23.7% 15.1%
Fair 50 – 69 15.8% 22.5% 18.6%
Poor 25 – 49 23.7% 19.9% 22.1%
Failed 0 – 24 7.4% 4.3% 6.5%
As part of this project, the City’s entire street network will be evaluated as per ASTM D6433 using an automated approach and the PMP will be updated that will consider the recent work completed by the City and impacts of different budget scenarios on the City’s street network for the next seven (7) years. This PMP will assist the City staff and officials to answer the following questions:

1. What does the City’s pavement network include?

2. What is the current condition of the pavement network?

3. What are the City’s current M&R strategies?

4. How much funding is required to perform all M&R treatments needed over the next 7 years?

5. What effect does the City’s existing funding have on the network condition and overall deferred maintenance?

6. What effect will other funding amounts have on the network condition and deferred maintenance? The comprehensive understanding of our project and the scope of work below in Section 7. Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work details the steps we will take to achieve the City’s goal.

Approach for Effective Project Completion
NCE brings a collaborative, innovative, and problem-solving mentality to the management of our projects, and this is the foundation of our approach. We believe in allocating the right resources at the right time to cost-effectively produce high-quality deliverables and projects for our clients. We focus on understanding our client’s “big picture,” while increasing the value of every dollar spent on every effort or project, by identifying and eliminating challenges before they occur. This process begins with the assignment of experienced and skilled project managers, supported by specially selected teams tailored to each initiative, task, or project. We will then apply project management principles to effectively achieve our goals, which are summarized below.

Project Management Approach. NCE is committed to providing the City with exceptional service for this important project.

Our team has a strong history of being responsive, meeting deadlines, and staying within budget for our clients. A detailed management approach is necessary when individuals are assembled under the team concept. The more people involved, or the larger the number of tasks/milestones, the greater the formality required in project management. For timely and cost- The best demonstration of NCE’s ability
to manage and deliver projects on time
and on budget is repeat work.

NCE performs most of our services for
public agencies and more than 70% of
our work is repeat business with
existing cities, counties, special
districts, and state and federal
agencies.

effective accomplishment of the project goals, team organization and lines of communication must be clearly established. NCE has formed a team of skilled civil and pavement engineers, accompanied by a QC manager, support staff, field technicians, and specialized subcontractors, in order to meet the project's objectives. Our team members have decades of experience collaborating with public agencies, which strengthens our capability to effectively respond to the City's requirements.

Ability to Work with the City/Staff Departments and Other Stakeholders. NCE’s Client/Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE, has worked with public agencies for over 15 years. His experience with public agencies in provides him with a unique perspective in that he understands the multiple interests involved in public works projects. Vivek has a proven track record of effectively managing both internal and external stakeholders through the organization and facilitation of meetings.

Additionally, he has made multiple presentations to elected officials at the city, county and state levels, and understands the need to communicate results and recommendations in a “straightforward” language without technical jargon. Vivek will work closely with our QA/QC Manager, Shahram Misaghi, MS, PE, and our Project Engineer, Timin Punnackal, PE ; all three have worked with cities and counties in various capacities related to pavement management. NCE’s field staff will also have to communicate with residents interested in data collection on an ad-hoc basis. These are typically residents who observe field crews working and are curious or concerned. In such cases, NCE technicians are trained to politely inform the public of the work and to direct them to City’s Project Manager as necessary.

Delivering Projects with Efficiency and Effectiveness. During the project execution phase, the Project Manager will be responsible for delivering the scope of work. Project tasks will include managing the budgets, project schedule, subconsultants, and preparation of work products. Our Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE, will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the project, ensuring that the scope of work is fully performed, ensuring the financial elements are being tracked and are on budget, monitoring schedules, and ensuring that the necessary resources are assigned and committed to the project. He will be responsible for maintaining the consistency of invoices with the project contracts and deliverables and ensuring that NCE delivers a technically sound project that meets timeline, budget, and satisfaction standards for the City.

Communications. One of the more critical elements in providing quality assurance is to ensure effective communication between NCE and the City, as well as within the NCE team. To ensure that the City is kept well informed of progress, NCE proposes that in addition to monthly progress reports, we will provide 15–20-minute progress update(s). Usually, this will summarize the progress made to date, identify any problems or questions NCE may have, and give an estimate of the work tasks for the next period. It will also provide an opportunity for all Stakeholders to ask questions as well as for NCE to describe upcoming tasks. Within NCE, all field crews are in daily contact with the Project Manager, Vivek Jha, MS, PE . Typically, these are brief, five-minute phone conversations that update the Project Manager on the progress in the field. Occasionally, there may be enough questions to require a special field trip by both the Project Manager and QC Manager to resolve the matter.

Proven Record of Meeting Project Schedules. Clients have come to rely on NCE’s ability to meet project schedules. Keeping the end project in mind, our concise documentation, and management’s ability to quickly resolve issues, are all key factors to completing a project on time. Timeliness is a high priority for the NCE team. Clear communication, concise documentation, prompt problem resolution, and strict review of the schedule are the tools NCE uses to complete the project within the established timeframe. NCE works collaboratively with our clients to prepare project-specific schedules with clear delivery timelines. In the event of a potential delay on project milestones, NCE will promptly notify the City, present the details of the potential delay, and make recommendations for bringing the project schedule back on track.

On Budget Performance. NCE has a cloud-based cost accounting system (Ajera) that accurately tracks specific job costs, provides real-time updates on the remaining budget, and documents task progress. Labor hours and expenses are entered into the system, which allows NCE’s Project Manager to access the information at any time from their computer or mobile device.

Costs are routinely compared with the budget and schedule to manage the team’s level of effort, labor hour allocation, and resource scheduling. Our Project Manager will regularly email the team members a real-time snapshot of the remaining budget and task progress, which is auto generated by the software, to keep team members aware of budget and time constraints.

NCE’s cost control and invoicing system are well suited to tracking costs, preparing invoices in styles and formats consistent with City requirements.

High-Quality Project Deliverables. NCE has an active Quality Assurance Management Program (QAMP) that includes specific quality control (QC) procedures. The goal of NCE’s QAMP is to infuse quality throughout the entire project and is based on four principles: client satisfaction, employee participation, problem prevention, and continuous quality improvement. NCE’s subconsultants are also required to adhere to the QAMP.

Description of Services In early 2024, the City of Hawaiian Gardens enlisted NCE to assist in the development of its first comprehensive Pavement Management Program (PMP) database using StreetSaver. As part of this initiative, NCE thoroughly reviewed the entire street network to create appropriate pavement management sections. Utilizing AI-ML technology, NCE accurately determined the pavement area for each section. This data was then incorporated into the City's StreetSaver database. NCE conducted a fully automated survey to assess the current condition of the street network. The existing pavement condition, alongside a City-specific decision tree, was used to evaluate the impacts of various funding levels on the City's street network over the next five years. Additionally, NCE will develop a work plan based on the City's preferred budget scenario. As part of this project, NCE also performed an asset inventory for several assets using an AI-ML approach. These assets included pavement markings, sidewalks, curb ramps, traffic signs, trees and tree wells, driveway aprons, curbs and gutters, curb markings, utility boxes, and guardrails. In addition to the PMP and asset inventory, NCE conducted a detailed sidewalk survey to identify areas requiring repairs.

Description of Services : NCE was selected to update the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) and right-of-way asset inventory for its entire network of 159.43 centerline miles . NCE’s scope of work included updating the PMP in accordance with ASTM D6433, taking the preliminary recommendation from the PMP and developing a 3-year work plan by selecting treatments that are based on pavement condition index (PCI), pavement core information, subgrade information determined via laboratory testing, and site constraints. NCE’s engineers field verified each pavement recommendation and performed investigation to determine the most feasible treatment. Finally, NCE staff marked base repairs prior to construction each year; this data will then be used to generate GIS maps, facilitating easy accessibility and tabulation for future reference. The project also involved PMP and right-of-way asset inventory; work plan for FY2023-25 and field review of FY2023-25 Street List; pavement coring and laboratory testing, pavement design and marking base repairs; council presentation, technical workshop, and technical support; and sign, curb marking, sidewalk, curb, cross-gutter, manhole, and pavement marking Inventory. NCE also assisted the city in complying with LA Metro Requirements, developed an annual street rehabilitation list, and inventoried right-of-way assets.

NCE is currently developing PS&E for the City’s most recent annual street rehabilitation program.

7. Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work
Project Understanding
NCE understands that the City is seeking proposals from consulting firms with expertise in developing, implementing, and/or preparing updates for PMP. A comprehensive PMP will be critical in assisting the City in developing funding scenarios as well as multi-year budget and treatment plans that are practical and cost-effective.

The PMP will provide the City’s policymakers and asset management experts with the following key pieces of information:

1. Updated inventory of the City’s current pavement network, including condition and attribute information of sectionalized street segments, such as to/from locations, functional class, length, width, area, number of lanes, etc.

2. The current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the entire network and by functional class.

3. Recommendations for future maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategy based on discussions between NCE and the City’s asset management professionals.

4. A seven-year workplan based on various funding and treatment scenarios, which will show the Council and the public the most cost-effective manner of spending the City’s tax revenue and newer revenue sources such as SB1.

5. A long-term funding analysis to determine future needs, which will help guide the City Council in making informed policy decisions and achieve PCI goals.

Scope of Work
Task 1: Coordination
NCE will first meet with City staff to kick-off the project by reviewing the technical approach and any administrative matters that may be necessary. At a minimum, items to be discussed will include:
 Scope of work and project schedule.
 Points of contact.
 Updated GIS shapefiles.
 New management sections to be added to the database.
 Scheduling and access requirements for fieldwork.
 Public safety concerns, requirements, and procedures.  Quality Control activities.
 Maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) practices, and history.  Budget scenarios.
 Other issues as appropriate.

Prior to the kickoff meeting, NCE will prepare a detailed agenda which will be sent to City staff for review before the meeting.

Deliverables for Task 1:
 Meeting agenda.
 In-person kick-off meeting.
 Technical memorandum summarizing kick-off meeting.
 Virtual progress meeting.

Task 2: Inspection, Surveys, and Related Services
NCE will perform fully automated pavement condition surveys on approximately 99 centerline miles (or 218 lane miles) of the City maintained streets. The distress collection protocols will be in accordance with ASTM D6433 protocols. Our Roadway Collection Vehicle System, which is certified by both OCTA and MTC, uses a 6D Dual-lane Road LiDAR Scanner that automatically collects a wide variety of pavement defects and pavement surface damages using advanced laser scanning technology to capture high resolution 3D roadway surface profiles and 2D digital pavement images. Our system allows 100 percent of the length of every pavement section to be inspected at posted speed limits to avoid impeding or disrupting traffic

P a g e | 21
flow. One survey pass per pavement section will be performed on one to two lane streets. Additional passes will be carried out on streets with three or more lanes or divided streets (see survey coverage area below).

Our system is comprised of many sub-components in order to provide automated, real time, accurate and repeatable roadway condition results, such as inspection survey distances, longitudinal roughness “rideability”, crack detection and measurement, 2D and 3D pavement profiles, wheel track rutting depths and transverse profiles, as well as incorporating our global positioning (GPS) system, roadway marking reflectivity, and innovative 3D 360° imagery and LiDAR mobile mapping solutions. Our pavement distress data collection process involves the use of high-resolution 3D digital imaging technology and integrated distress laser pavement roadway scanners, which allow us to correctly quantify the type, severity, extent, start and stop points of all ASTM D6433pavement distresses.

The “fuel” for any pavement management engine is the surface condition data. Pavement distress provides that important set of data in determining the costs to maintain the pavement network. Automated procedures will be conducted with a 100% sampling rate with full width “curb-to-curb” pavement survey coverage to collect distress data. The data collection system will be operated by OCTA and MTC certified technicians, ensuring consistency and reliability in the collected data.

Should City personnel wish to observe our field crews and testing vehicles during the inspection surveys, we will be more than happy to accommodate this. Individual City staff may also accompany NCE’s field crew for up to ½ day to gain hands-on training at no additional cost to the City. We have found that this is the most effective training method for agency staff, as they become part of the data collection crew, rather than just observers. Please note that this scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues including, but are not limited to traffic, safety and road hazards, geometric issues, road shoulders, sidewalks, curb and gutters, drainage issues or short-term maintenance that should be performed.

Deliverables for Task 2:
 Distress Data Collection for the entire network (99 centerline miles).  Demo of Data Collection vehicle.

NCE’s pavement inspectors have undergone a rigorous certification test through both the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) “Inspector Certification/Testing” programs.

These cover both ASTM D6433 and StreetSaver® distress protocols.

In addition, märker is also certified by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) “Automated Rating Vendor Certification” program.

Task 3: Quality Control
Quality management practices for pavement management suggest that a one-time inspection of the final data is typically inadequate and involves a high risk of failure. We have recognized the importance of effectively implementing and ensuring quality control and assurance practices on pavement distress data. We use a proven approach that integrates quality management and control procedures throughout the entire data collection and delivery process. For this project, we have proposed the inclusion of a QC Manager, Shahram Misaghi, MS, PE. He will be responsible for the following:
 Calibrating all data collection activities; Comparing the field data collected with on-site conditions; Reviewing field activities, including spot checks on the field crews; Reviewing field procedures and making changes, as needed.  Reviewing all data entry functions, including random spot checks; Reviewing reports generated and analyses performed to ensure a quality product.

NCE will prepare a QC Plan that will include the following components:
 Description of condition survey procedures (distress types, severities). All procedures, changes or modifications should be well documented in the QCP so that future updates will be consistent.  Accuracy required for data collection or acceptability criteria.  Description of how data will be checked for accuracy, e.g., control sections set up and distress comparisons between walking and automated surveys. A sample spreadsheet of distress detail comparisons between walking and automated survey on control sections is listed below; In addition to the control sections, NCE will also carry out additional quality control which will include comparing the rate of deterioration since the last PMP to flag any sections that have deteriorated at a higher-than-expected rate (2-3 PCI points per year) or the conditions has drastically improved without any recent M&R. NCE will then review each of the section flagged to ensure that the updated PCI clearly reflects the current pavement condition.

A draft of the QC plan will be submitted to the City for approval, and no field work will commence until a final plan has been accepted.

Deliverables for Task 3:
 Draft and final Quality Control (QC) plan.

Task 4: Data Entry
All data collected from the condition surveys will then be uploaded into the StreetSaver® database. This task will be performed at NCE’s office in order to provide Quality Control of all data entered into the system. NCE will then perform the pavement condition index (PCI) calculations, and correct any errors found. A PCI listing report will be prepared and submitted to the City.

The City staff will also be trained in how to update data, add new road segments, and run applicable reports. Details regarding training are provided in Task 7
Deliverables for Task 4:
 Updated StreetSaver® database with pavement distress data.  PCI calculations.

Task 5: Pavement Condition Report
As part of this task, NCE will provide the City with the PCI report (tables and maps) that will list the PCI for each section within City’s street network. The report will also provide the PCI values for different functional classes and other criteria such as Council districts as desired by the City staff.

NCE will next review M&R strategies with City staff and include the recommendation of appropriate treatments such as cape seals or overlays, and the determination of treatment unit costs. This will be an appropriate time to review the use of new/sustainable treatments or materials, such as rubberized asphalt, rubberized chip or cape seals, microsurfacing, rejuvenators, cold-in-place recycling, full-depth reclamation, fiber reinforcement, warm mix asphalt, etc.

City of Monterey Park
Pavement Management Program Update

P a g e | 23
Update of the M&R decision tree is a critical step in creating a PMP program as it has a direct and significant impact on the final work plan that is developed, as well as the budgeting consequences. NCE’s experience in civil engineering & design and especially pavement engineering & design, as well as local conditions, allows our staff to be able to provide the City with solutions that are practical and workable. Once the M&R alternatives are defined, a treatment unit cost will be determined for each alternative. These alternatives and costs will then be entered into StreetSaver® for budgetary analysis. The unit costs will have a huge impact on the City’s projections or needs assessments. Therefore, NCE will review any recent bid tabs and engineers estimate, together with those from neighboring cities (such as Alhambra, San Marino as appropriate. Also, unit prices will be fully loaded rates, and will include not just contractors’ prices, but also design, inspection, testing and contingency costs.

Deliverables for Task 5:
 PCI Report.
 Meeting to discuss treatment alternatives.
 Decision tree with updated treatments and costs.

Task 6: Pavement Rehabilitation Program
NCE will perform a Budget Needs analysis using an analysis period of seven years. This task will identify M&R requirements for each street section and determine the total M&R requirements over the entire analysis period. The costs are then summed up for the entire period. This forms the basis for performing Budget Scenario evaluations, which optimize the street sections for repair under constrained budgets.

The Budget Scenarios evaluation prioritizes street sections for repairs under constrained, realistic, budgetary assumptions. Up to four budget- or target-driven scenarios will be performed after discussions with City staff. The budget analysis will focus on how different scenarios impact the PCI over time and how much (if any) additional funding is required to achieve the target PCI goals (determined by the City) for each scenario. Examples of typical scenarios include:
 Impact of existing funding levels on network PCI; Impact of drops and/or increases in existing funding on network PCI.  Funding levels necessary to maintain current network PCI; Funding level necessary to improve current network PCI; Funding required to maintain a specific PCI (e.g. PCI = 70).

Based on discussion with the project team (NCE and City staff), a preferred scenario will be recommended. The results from the preferred scenario will be used to develop a budget options report which will include a seven-year rehabilitation program including treatments and when to apply treatments to streets. As part of this task, NCE will develop a candidate list of arterial streets with preferred recommendations that should be addressed each fiscal year. NCE will also produce a list of candidate segments section for collector, residential and alleys. The residential streets will be grouped together so they are in the same neighborhood.

Deliverables for Task 6:
 Results from various budget scenarios.
 Draft and Final Budget Options Report with 7-year Rehabilitation program with Listing of Candidate streets/segments for Arterial, Collector, residential, and Alleys for each fiscal year.  Recommendation on budget shortfalls.

Simply put, the Target-driven analysis answers these questions:
“If I have unconstrained funding to meet my PCI goals, which streets should I fix? When should I fix them?
What treatments should I apply?
In simplistic terms, this module answers the questions:
“If I only have limited funds for road maintenance and repair, which streets have the highest priority? When should I perform the repairs?
How much will it cost?”

Task 7: Pavement Management Program Update
As part of this task, NCE will prepare a PMP report which will be a single comprehensive document with appendices that clearly and concisely contain all relevant findings, observations, and recommendations. The report and its exhibits will be presented legibly. The report charts and map exhibits will have distinguishable color gradations. At a minimum, the final report will contain the following components:
 Executive Summary outline complete report.
 Methodologies utilized for field surveys and budget analysis.  Current overall pavement conditions (PCI):
o Condition distribution by functional road classification. o Condition distribution by percentage of roadway network. o Condition comparison with other cities in region and state.  Projected annual repair/rehabilitation road maintenance programs over a 7-year period.  Analysis that allows City to measure impact of cost of deferred maintenance for various funding levels.  Exhibit showing proposed annual work to be performed based upon available funding over a 7-year period.  GIS map exhibit showing existing PCI rating and a 7-year work program.

As part of this task, NCE will present the results of the PMP to the City staff. In addition, our team will also prepare and present a 15-minute non-technical presentation to the City Council. Additionally, NCE will also provide one-day training hands-on training session for up to 3 City staff on City’s test database on how to effectively use the StreetSaver® software and its data entry requirements.

If NTP is provided by November 20, 2024, Final Draft Report will be submitted by April 18, 2025 (within 20 weeks); Final Report will be submitted 2 weeks after receiving City's comments before May 1, 2025.

Deliverables for Task 7:
 Pavement Management Program Update Report.
 One-day hands-on training for 3 City staff.
 Presentation to City staff and Council.

Task 8: Asset Inventory (OPTIONAL)
In this optional task, NCE will develop an asset inventory for the entire City network. For cost effective purposes, NCE will perform this task using the images collected from our Roadway Collection Vehicle System in Task 2. We will utilize the Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning (AI-ML) approach to analyze images and perform a manual QC to obtain 90% reliability for asset inventory development. The following assets can be inventoried by NCE.  Sidewalk inventory and width.
 Pavement marking and striping inventory.
 Curb marking inventory.
 Manholes and valves Inventory.

It is assumed that all the assets noted above are visible from public right of way while driving the City street network during pavement condition inspections.

Deliverables for Task 8:
 Shapefile with all the above noted asset inventory and images.  Technical memo of collected asset inventory.

Task 9: Additional ROW Asset Inventory (OPTIONAL)
In this optional task, NCE will perform an asset inventory for the features noted below for the entire City network.  Curb ramps and no curb ramps on a corner inventory.
 Driveway apron inventory.
 Light post inventory; guardrail/traffic barrier inventory; utility box inventory.  Bike lanes inventory.

City of Monterey Park
Pavement Management Program Update

Please note the condition assessment will be based on overall condition assessment (good, fair, and poor) and not in accordance with any federal, state or City standards. Additionally, all the assets noted above are assumed to be visible from public right of way while driving the City street network during pavement condition inspections.

Deliverables for Task 9:
 Shapefile with all the above noted asset inventory and images.  Technical Memo Report.

Task 10: Update Existing Pavement Management Section Limits and Area (OPTIONAL) As part of this optional task, NCE will review each of the existing pavement management sections and update it to match the City’s existing M&R practice. Additionally, the pavement management section will also be updated to account for geometry, construction history, and other factors. Also, as part of this task, NCE will update the pavement area for each pavement management section for the entire City’s Street network. This updated section area will be measured from pavement edge to edge and account for width changes, medians, cul-de-sac’s, turn lanes, gutters, bus pads, and any other necessary adjustments.

These accurate areas will benefit the City especially during budget analysis.

Deliverables for Task 10:
 Updated Pavement Management Section Segmentation for the entire City Street Network.  Updated Pavement Management Section Area for the entire City Street Network.

Task 11: Focused Multi-Year Work Plan for CIP (OPTIONAL) As part of this task, NCE will develop a focused Multi-Year M&R Work Plan; the PCI plays a role in treatment selection, but for design purposes, confirmation and refinement of proposed treatments must be performed as well as consideration of base repair quantities, aggregation or re-grouping of streets to maximize construction savings, separation/combination of surface seal or rehabilitation paving programs, and cost to comply with complete and green street policies. The multi-year plan will only be developed for the preferred scenarios selected by the City and will be developed for three (3) fiscal years.

The criteria for various funding sources available to the City will be considered when selecting streets in the Work Plan. NCE will perform focused field reviews to identify the items listed below for streets selected by the PMP software for the preferred scenario. Before developing the work plan, NCE staff will meet the City staff in the field to determine their priorities and objectives in determining the rehabilitation treatment and repair criteria. Our scope includes one additional meeting to finalize the multi-year plan. The Work Plan elements include:
 Verify treatment type and project limits.
 Identify approximate base repair percentage or mark digouts in the field.  Identify number of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp upgrades triggered by proposed treatments.  Identify potential tripping hazards areas caused by tree roots or surface materials build-up areas near the pavement edge. Tripping hazards area locations (house address or distance to intersection) would be recorded in the field review.  Identify alternative newer technologies (CIR, FDR, etc.) and/or alternative surface seal treatments on cul-de-sac areas.  Identify excessive cracking problems and propose alternative treatments as appropriate.

NCE will generate enough candidate streets for grouping, consolidation, removing outliers, and determining other conflicts.

Based on the criteria agreed upon with the City, pavement maintenance strategies, and field observations, the selected sections would be grouped together geographically to produce continuous sections for treatment to minimize inefficiencies with shorter and isolated street segments and reduce construction costs and traffic impacts. If there is a budget surplus or a need to update the decision tree based on the multi-year focus plan, NCE will re-run the preferred scenario budget analysis to incorporate the findings from the site visits/multi-year focus plan.

Deliverables for Task 11:
 Focus work plan in tabular and map formats.
 Updated budget analysis with 3-year work plan.

9. Other Information
The following pages provide additional information pertinent to the execution of pavement and asset management projects.

Pavement Design & Analysis
Pavement designs, plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction are NCE’s specialty and we offer extensive experience and expertise with pavement treatment alternatives. Our civil and geotechnical engineers not only understand the types of pavements and treatment options, but also understand the significance and cost implications of proper roadway support on competent subgrade soils to limit future settlement and cracking. Pavement design begins with an accurate assessment of the existing structural adequacy. Unlike traditional civil firms who rely on core samples, we employ our pavement survey expertise in conjunction with deflection data, continuous thickness data using ground penetrating radar (GPR), and materials testing to assess the engineering properties of the existing roadway more accurately.

Sustainable and Innovative Pavement Technologies
There are numerous pavement rehabilitation techniques available today with new binders, new additives, and polymers, all of which may be applied in various layers to preserve pavement life. NCE constantly seeks to identify the most cost-efficient alternatives for cities and counties, such as CIR, cement stabilized pulverized base (CSPB), asphalt rubber hot mix asphalt (ARHM), warm mix asphalt, and terminal blend asphalt rubber binders. Many of the technologies NCE can implement will meet potential City sustainability or environmental goals and policies. Some examples are described in the following paragraphs.

Sustainable Pavements. NCE is involved with projects at both the national and local levels on issues such as sustainable pavements, and premature failures. NCE was involved with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on Sustainable Pavement Systems, where we developed technical guidelines and a webinar series.

Cool Pavements. NCE prepared a report to discuss cool pavement alternatives for the City of Chula Vista as a means of mitigating the urban heat island impact. This included the use of pavement alternatives, such as porous or permeable pavements, pavers, concrete pavements, and use of light-colored aggregates, etc.

Composite Pavements. NCE worked for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2 R21) to develop best practice standards for asphalt concrete (AC)/portland cement concrete (PCC) composite pavements nationwide. This project resulted in the development of best practices in construction, specifications, and quality management procedures for these pavements.

NCE is currently teaching a series of workshops for State Highway Agencies nationwide to assist them in implementing key best practices for composite pavements. While this work was funded and aimed at State Highway Agencies, the fundamental concepts of composite pavements and the best ways to implement them can be translated to cities, too.

Rubblization of Concrete Pavements. Rubblization is a cost-effective sustainable solution to traditional reconstruction of aged and/or poor concrete pavement. This rehabilitation technique involves rubblizing (breaking into smaller pieces) the existing concrete pavement and using it as the base course and overlaying with traditional AC. Reusing the existing concrete in place can result in cost savings of up to 50%. Additional advantage of rubblization is the reduction in the carbon footprint of the project due to less hauling of material to and from site as well as the thickness of the AC in rubblized pavement is comparatively thinner as compared to traditional reconstruction. NCE staff have in-depth knowledge and experience of both design and construction of rubblized pavement.

Cold-In-Place Recycling. A cost-effective alternative to traditional mill and fill pavement treatments, cold-in-place recycling can yield cost savings of as much as 30% using existing AC materials, which produces less truck hauling and better time efficiency during NCE’s expertise in pavement treatment
alternatives includes cost saving,
cutting-edge, and green/sustainable
paving technologies, such as warm mix
asphalt and in-place recycling
technologies.

construction. Longer pavement sections (generally at least 500,000 sf of pavement area) that require deeper mill and fills (typically at least three inches) are good candidates for cold-in-place recycling with potentially large cost savings.

Full Depth Reclamation (FDR). Full-depth reclamation is a process that reconstructs failed AC pavements by recycling the existing roadway materials. The old AC and aggregate base materials are pulverized and mined utilizing specialized equipment. The full-depth reclamation method recycles the materials in-situ and can offer significant cost savings over conventional roadway reconstruction techniques. It is generally cost- effective for areas as little as 25,000 square feet.

Pavement and Civil Engineering
NCE’s civil and pavement design engineers and technicians have experience developing PS&E for many city, county, and state roadway projects. The benefit of this experience is that we thoroughly understand the impact recommended pavement designs can have on the roadway system. Elements include drainage improvements, ADA curb ramps and sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic striping and signs, and utility relocation. NCE is a powerhouse known for designing thousands of local streets and roads and pavement rehabilitation throughout California. Further, we have recently supported the Cities of Diamond Bar, Glendale, Huntington Park, San Marino, South Gate, La Mirada, and Santa Barbara City and County on similar Roadway Rehabilitation Projects. NCE also has excellent working relationships with pavement and grading contractors and have partnered with reputable contractors to provide constructability review and cost efficiencies.

GIS Analysis, Modeling, and Mapping using the latest ESRI TM Software NCE staff have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the GIS needs of public entities and the importance of geospatial data in making critical resource(s), impact analysis, and management decisions. These decisions require well thought out tools that allow for efficient management, deployment, and dissemination of spatial data (both internal and external for the public).

Our experience with GIS development and analysis, cartography, and asset management is extensive and includes projects for municipalities across California and Nevada. Our services include mobile data collection, integration with asset and PMP software, and detailed mapping capabilities using the latest ESRI TM software which includes ArcGIS®, and ArcPro.

Special Equipment
NCE can evaluate pavement structural conditions with deflection testing using our Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). The FWD is a specialized tool that provides data to allow for preparation of cost-effective pavement designs. In-situ conditions can be quickly evaluated to determine issues, such as the extent of subgrade problems or the presence of voids/unstable soils. Pavement designs for phased or staged constructions are possible, as well as the ability to model and use new materials and technologies. NCE can also use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to determine the thickness of AC as well as depth of the top rebar in concrete pavement in a non-destructive manner. The GPR data can then be calibrated using limited core information. The GPR data can be collected at the same time as automated pavement distress data, thus leading to huge cost savings.

Deploying Pavement Technologies
Pavement sustainability has a large impact on the overall economic, environmental, and social fabric of local streets and roads. This is even more evident as streets are no longer viewed strictly as a means for vehicle conveyance, but instead as part of a larger transportation system that includes multiple transportation modes and their impact on the environment and society as a whole. Our civil and geotechnical engineers understand the types of pavements and treatment options and understand the significance and cost implications of proper pavement design to maximize long-term performance. Unlike traditional civil firms who rely primarily on core samples, we employ our pavement inspection expertise in conjunction with coring, deflection data, and materials testing to assess the engineering properties of the existing roadway more accurately.

Innovative Automated Survey System
We have seen considerable advancements in technology over the last decade. The assessment of pavement condition has seen a transformation from labor-intensive “boots on the ground” efforts toward a more high-speed, “automated” vehicle survey.

These surveys integrate the use of roadway sensors, and digital pavement laser scanners and even incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for data processing. Our system conducts a comprehensive “curb-to-curb” pavement survey, providing 100% full-width sampling in contrast with other automated systems that use a downward image scanning device that only assesses distresses in the travel lanes. This 100% pavement inspection area can be advantageous to local agencies by obtaining more comprehensive and precise pavement condition data, including the identification of distress near parking lanes or pavement edges. This full two-lane range and intensity LiDAR scan data is then post-processed through automation using data algorithms along with AI and machine learning tools that analyze roadway profiles to determine the pavement surface damage areas and identify the type, severity, and quality of pavement distresses to calculate Pavement Condition Index (PCI).

Access to Statewide Survey Database
NCE has performed a Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment study of 540 cities and counties in California in 2008 and updated it biennially since. The scope of work includes collecting data on over 143,000 miles of local streets and roads and essential elements, which comprises over 80% of the state’s publicly maintained roadways. The major tasks in this study include data collection and developing a methodology for standardizing the comparison process, such as pavement condition, pavement strategies, pavement funding and revenue, essential components, budgetary analysis, and funding shortfall for both pavement and essential components.

Through this project, NCE is able to access extensive information from comparable cities on their funding sources, construction practice, as well as M&R policy and funding needs of essential components. The information can be utilized for performance measurement, long-term planning, policy advocacy, budget allocation, and potential grant applications.

Support for Pursuing Additional Funding
NCE has collaborated with multiple agencies to actively seek additional funding for pavement improvements. Examples include:
 Trench Cut Impact Study. Utility trench cuts can significantly damage pavement structure and long-term performance.

Both local agencies and utility companies have funded engineering studies to assess these impacts and estimate financial consequences. NCE has partnered with various cities and counties, analyzing structural and functional deterioration resulting from utility cuts. They've developed fee schedules, enabling agencies to earn between $100K to $500K annually from trench cut fees. NCE has conducted or is currently conducting comparable studies for Anaheim, Riverside, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Santa Barbara County in Southern California, and Northern California agencies.  Multi-Year Work Plans. A multi-year work plan that groups candidate streets by treatment types or neighborhoods allows for more efficient bidding to reduce construction costs, as well as traffic impacts to the public. NCE is currently working with the City of Corona, Yorba Linda, and Redondo Beach to develop the City’s multi-year work plan.  Local Bond Measures. NCE provided the City of Oakland with a StreetSaver® analysis to determine the impacts of a bond measure that included determining the most
cost-effective M&R strategies and developing multi-year work plans spread out among eight planning areas with
different characteristics and needs. (see graphic to the right) Oakland voters passed Measure KK in 2016 that
included $350 million for transportation. In addition,
NCE is currently working with the Sacramento
Transportation Authority (STA) to perform budgetary
analysis to identify additional funding needs to improve network PCI to 70 by 2043. The analysis findings will be employed to advocate for a new measure or renewal of Measure A for the 2024 or 2026 ballot.

Roadway Asset Services – Key Subconsultant Project Team Organizational structure is important to understand as it can often shed light on whom a municipal agency will really be working with on any given assignment. While the City can select any qualified data collector as a short -term vendor, RAS prefers to develop long -term consultative relationships with our clients that result in turn -key pavement management implementations that exceed client expectations. The Key Personnel assigned to this project are all long -time veterans of the industry and have extensive experience in asset data collection, pavement distress field rating, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) processing, multi- year prioritization, software implementation, and custom database integrations. Reporting structure follows the list of personnel.

Zac Thomason, MBA, RAS Project Manager , has been actively engaged in the pavement management industry for nearly 17 years. In this time, his focus has been on the use of automated technologies for pavement distress surveys, enterprise software implementation, pavement preservation, budget modeling & forecasting, and multi -year rehabilitation plan development. Mr. Thomason will be responsible for the overall management, coordination, and communication of the project. Mr. Thomason has extensive experience managing StreetSaver inspection projects including the Stanislaus Council of Governments, CA; Bellevue, WA; Arapahoe County, CO; and was recently selected by Pima County, AZ to lead their StreetSaver update.

The pavement distress interpretation review will be led by RAS’ Senior Pavement Engineer, Scot Gordon, PE, IAM . Mr. Gordon brings over 30 years of licensed Professional Engineering experience in the fields of pavement engineering, design, and transportation planning. As a graduate from Texas A&M and an understudy of Roger Smith (well renowned in the pavement management industry & StreetSaver development team), Scot is considered an expert in the interpretation of distress manifestation on roadways. Nothing is passed on to RAS clients without a detailed review and acceptance by Scot Gordon.

During Mr. Gordon’s graduate work, he developed and further refined his philosophy of pavement management through hands -on testing of the initial phases of development of the StreetSaver software. Additionally, Scot has received certification from the Institute of Asset Management and oversees the engineering team at RAS.

While any qualified consulting firm can collect some form of condition data, it is imperative that the data collected and delivered to the City is repeatable and reliable. To ensure the automated pavement condition data remains true to sound engineering principles, Quality Assurance will be performed by
Mark Kramer, PE, MBA , who is an expert in automated data processing

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-1
Pavement Management Program Update

1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Project Kickoff
The first step in updating a successful pavement management program truly resides in frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of Monterey Park , it will be essential to establish, up front, the Engineering department pavement management priorities.

Our team will set a Project Kickoff meeting with City staff (i.e. Mr. Shawn Igoe) to discuss and review in detail the expectations of the project, technical approach, section ID / GIS management & surveys, district/ zone maintenance, StreetSaver upgrades & use, deliverables within the scope of work and the review of schedule.

This effort will build consensus between the Public Works and Engineering staff as well as build stronger Arterial CIP and L ocal neighborhood maintenance programs that complement large Public Works CIP projects and annual maintenance projects.

Additional key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing StreetSaver pavement plan/data; its current and future use, MyRoads® , survey areas based on recent maintenance work and schedules, new construction, data quality and condition, current pavement procedures, historical expenditure levels and desired service levels.

Deliverable: Meeting minutes, revised project schedule (if necessary)

TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, committee, City Council and status meetings) – minimum of eight (8) hours; Field review meetings; additionally bi- monthly progress status reports will be delivered to the City project manager.

Quality Control (QC)
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field technician’s work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original annual surveys will be re -surveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results will be compared to the original surveys (this will include 12.6 miles QC). Our QC process involves checking the field crews’ work in a “blind study” fashion. This will ensure that all field personnel are properly collecting distresses and pavement quantities for all street segments.

PCI variance reporting will be performed where previous PCI data will be compared to newly inspected 2025 PCI data; if PCI’s vary more than ten (10) points per year Bucknam staff will assess the potential cause through unrecorded work history, accelerated pavement deterioration, etc. Bucknam will record/log any discrepancies between the previous and current PMP databases (any corrections/changes to the database shall not be made without prior City staff approval).

Since we are collecting distress information on our field MobileRater tablets with the Monterey Park PMP database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within StreetSaver using a sample set of the City of Monterey Park’s street distress data.

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-2
Pavement Management Program Update

This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City recommendations and standards are being followed. Over the past two years, Bucknam has submitted fifty (50 +) METRO/OCTA compliant reports for LA and Orange County municipalities, they include:

Our surveys follow the accepted ASTM D6433 procedure requirements. A copy of the QA/QC plan utilized by our staff during the project will be submitted along with the PMP certification documents. Our staff attends the OCTA PMP Distress Training Classes held each year, 2011 thru 2024. In July 2024 our staff was acknowledged as “qualified inspectors and firm” to prepare PMP’s compliant with the OCTA Countywide Pavement Management Guidelines (this certification/compliance runs through June 2026).

Additionally, Bucknam was selected by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in 20 22 to perform a 10 -year Pavement Management Plan analysis on ALL 35 Orange County local agencies PMP’s.

2) Client Satisfaction
TASK 2.1: Project Deliverables
Shown throughout our Scope of Work, each Task is summarized with project deliverables. Client satisfaction will derive from frequent communication with the Project Manager and key staff members from the Public Works department. Project success is created by delivering on three main factors;
1) Adherence to scope tasks and deliverables
2) Performing to the standard set by the Project Schedule (Section 2); and 3) Controlling costs.

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-3
Pavement Management Program Update

Our Project Manager will follow each of these factors throughout the duration of the project Deliverable: Project Status Updates, as stated in Task 1.2

3) Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
TASK 3.1: Update Maintenance and Rehabilitation Activities The City will provide Bucknam with a complete listing of all major work (overlay, slurry, etc.) in hard copy/digital format to Bucknam for updating specific section work histories and PCI ratings.

Bucknam will review all maintenance and rehabilitation projects completed and/or scheduled by the City since the last PMP update in 2022 performed by Bucknam; this will include work history updates on arterials, locals, and alleys. Our staff will enter the necessary work history updates as mentioned above (i.e. data entry of maintenance / rehabilitation activities) into your StreetSaver database.

Deliverable: Update PMP data, Work History report

TASK 3.2: Pavement Condition Surveys
First and foremost, the assessment of the City’s
pavement segmentation is one of the key priorities
for this project. With three years between major
inspections, it will be essential to verify that all
PMP segmentation are up-to-date and that section
true area SF quantities are verified, accurate and
reliable.

This will be completed by utilizing Bucknam ’s cloud-based learning technology (AI) to correct ly quantify square footages for each pavement section (see sample above ). Bucknam’s use of cloud-based learning technology is initiated by provid ing the AI with the City of Monterey Park most recent aerial image; in doing so, all AC and PCC pavement true areas are calculated. These calculations are possible due to the cloud -based learning tech’s inherent working knowledge of how to recognize edge -of-pavement, surface types, medians, bus pads and AC/PCC surface limits.

This ability will allow Bucknam to obtain the necessary quality control measurements for defined Monterey Park PMP segments and to perform segment true area SF variance reports.

This will in turn create more accurate PCI’s, engineering project cost estimations, total centerline / square footage s of the network as well as for unique pavement segments. We will review/assess new and/or missing streets previously excluded from the last PMP update and create the necessary segmentation within the Monterey Park PMP database + GIS links . Once the pavement segmentation has been assessed and verified, the necessary inspections will be performed. Our survey methodology will include the following approach based on ASTM D6433 guidelines:

1. Walking - All sections are surveyed through “two -pass test” walking methodologies.

AC/PCC distress types will be collected based upon actual surface conditions and physical characteristics of the segment. Surveying methods will be conducted by

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-4
Pavement Management Program Update

remaining consistent with ASTM D6433 & the Army Corp of Engineers AC/PCC sampling guidelines while being flexible to current City requirements. All sample locations are observed through walking surveys; samples areas will cover a minimum of 20% of the total section area and will be 2,500 SF +/ - 1,000 SF in size. The following Monterey Park pavement sections are to be surveyed for the upcoming 2025 PMP update:
• 2
02 5 - The inspection of approximately 126 miles of Arterial, Local, and Alley segments will be performed . The PMP update will be completed by no later than May 1, 2025, per the City’s project schedule.

Our use of StreetSaver -Mo bileRater tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of Monterey Park ’s StreetSaver database live in the field. Updated PMP data/inspections are transferred immediately to the StreetSaver cloud / Bucknam’s PMP Dashboard and can be reviewed at any time for quality control and management. Our Tablet methodology sets us apart from the competition since we are using a paper- less inventory process to enter data; this in turn generates cost savings to enhance the project schedule and other portions of the project such as True Area SF calcs, CIP reporting, StreetSaver training and on-call services.

Roadway Verification Survey - A
listing of the field attribute data that is updated/verified during the survey for the pavement management database is listed below (METRO survey guidelines will be followed):

2. F ield Attribute Data (updated and/or verified)
• Street Name, from/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section, section rank • Street ranking indicating arterial, collector, local, alley, # of lanes, surface type (AC, PCC)
• Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2025 PCI inspections • Segment quantities, indicating the length, width and area of the section

3. C onditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will include:
• ASTM D6433 20 AC & 19 PCC distresses by type, severity and extent • Sampling/conditional data typically pulled from within edge -of-pavement to edge-of pavement
• PCI ratings (0-100), taking into account the surface condition, level of distress We welcome staff members from the City Monterey Park to join our surveys. All pavement data will be entered into the City’s StreetSaver licensed software. All items listed above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of this project.

4. S ection Distress and PCI Reporting
Upon 50% and 100% completion of the required condition surveys, we will prepare draft PCI Reports and PCI GIS maps that document the conditions of all pavement segments. This report will provide the necessary data for Bucknam and the City to use and determine projected street rehabilitation and maintenance project locations.

The City and our staff will review the PCI reports to ensure that all inventory data is correct and the project is running smoothly. Our PCI Reporting will include:

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-5
Pavement Management Program Update

• PCI Report – Sorted by Name (A to Z), PCI Order (0-100), Zone (1, 2, 3, etc.); • Work history report; and
• GIS Maps presenting PCI’s by section.

Once the City has reviewed, assessed and commented on the draft report, we will address all requested revisions and deliver the final reports.

Deliverable: Citywide PCI reports, compliant METRO PCI reports, PCI Variance report

DEVELOP RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TASK 3.3: Maintenance and Rehabilitation Assessment / Priorities We will assist the City in developing the most cost -effective preventative maintenance and rehabilitation strategies necessary to achieve the desired level of serviceability. This will be accomplished by meeting with the City to discuss and strategize maintenance /rehabilitation activities that are currently being used by the City. Based on the City’s current AC & PCC applications, and other maintenance practices used, we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact these practices have on the pavement network.

We will update the Monterey Park StreetSaver “decision tree” that will be used to generate pavement recommendations that match current fiscal year maintenance /rehabilitation approaches/City practices. This will be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual PCI ranges and deterioration curves within PMP software based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector, local, alley) and age. Our staff will review the Monterey Park deterioration curves that have been developed based on historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class data.

All maintenance practices/unit costs and scheduled projects will be integrated into the PMP and will be derived from the most recent construction bids. We will account for inflation rates when long-term revenue projections are made.

Our P
roject Manager /Principal will work closely with the City in defining sound engineering based repair and rehabilitation strategies for each fiscal year and for each defined PMP zone within the network. Once the repair/rehabilitation strategies have been defined, a 7-year Forecasted Maintenance & Rehabilitation (FMR) schedules will be generated.

The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
• Minimization inconveniences for Monterey Park residents by providing more efficient annual CIP/rehabilitation plans
• Assessment and review of the City’s Pavement CIP
• Present pavement conditions; Desired levels of service and available resources • Projected / Forecasted PCI’s per section
• Cost benefit of individual strategies (minimum of three (3) scenarios) • Scheduling with the City’s major CIP projects (water, sewer, etc.) • Budgetary findings/recommendations that satisfy METRO guidelines

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-6
Pavement Management Program Update

• Local “Neighborhood Zone” fiscal year reporting/improvement scheduling • Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the scheduling of street maintenance using the most cost -effective strategies available and taking into account a life -cycle cost analysis.

Bucknam will attend any necessary upper management / City Council meetings to support and present the updated Monterey Park Pavement Management Plan report. Bucknam will develop and finalize a Power Point presentation (if needed) to demonstrate the project and its findings/recommendations. The presentation will be pro-bono.

TASK 3.4: Citywide CIP / METRO Compliance Budget Reports We will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff reference and use as well as being presented in a way that is beneficial for elected officials/upper management. This report will assist the City in complying with METRO guidelines and submittal requirements.

The report will be prepared in a format that uses the information delivered by StreetSaver in conjunction with the information and analysis performed by our team. The report will provide the City with information on:
 Identify present performance status of the entire network (section by section) as well as historical PCI performance;
 Current inventory and pavement conditions indices (PCI) for all road classes;  Bucknam will identify standing water locations and implement these findings within the Final Report;
 Projected / feasible annual rehabilitation programs for street maintenance for a 7- yr period (Forecast Maintenance Reports FY 2025-2032) that show the largest return on investment and acceptable levels of service;
o This will include a minimum of three (3) total scenarios;  Modeling and comparison of budget scenarios typically include:
o Based on needs – unlimited budget;
o Current City pavement budget;
o Ideal budget (to maintain an ideal network PCI level);  Strategies and recommendations for the City’s CIP/maintenance programs and procedures, including a preventative maintenance schedule;  Recommended action plan for future PMP updates and Arterial/Collector & Local survey schedules
 Representation of forecasted scenarios within GIS Toolbox / GIS mapping  Supporting documentation required by METRO;
 A detailed breakdown of deferred maintenance (backlog); and  Conduct a presentation of the PMP results to City Personnel and/or elected officials.

Deliverable: One (1) digital copy of the Final Pavement PMP Report (.pdf), will be sent to the City. Bucknam will also provide three (3) hard copies and final digital copies of the project related GIS files.

TASK 3.5: PMP – GIS Mapping
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will update the Pavement -GIS link between
MyRoads®, StreetSaver GIS Toolbox and the City’s GIS
Enterprise. Bucknam currently has access to the 2022 PMP- GIS shapefile; this allows our staff to immediately utilize the file and prepare for internal PMP editing, survey and
reporting. Our staff will review, with City staff, all ongoing upcoming capital projects that may impact the GIS mapping delivered for this project. The maps described below will be incorporated into the City’s Final PMP report:
• PCI condition values for every section
• Work History identifications
• 7-yr Arterial / Local Rehabilitation and Slurry Seal Programs • Functional classification, traffic classification and surface type maps

Once the Pavement Segmentation Report is finalized, we will update the necessary StreetSaver - GIS linkages. By using the unique Street ID’s within StreetSaver and the City’s ESRI PMP shapefile ID’s, we will update the one -to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS. Our staff will coordinate all project deliveries with the Public Works and the GIS division to ensure that the most current and accurate PMP -GIS maps are represented within the City’s GIS enterprise.

Deliverable: Complete GIS files/themes based on list above (project .mxd/shapefiles).

TASK 3.6: Monterey Park MyRoads® PMP Web-Portal
Monterey Park MyRoads® Web- Portal - Bucknam’s MyRoads® is a great match for the Monterey Park PMP today and the future. MyRoads® brings your PMP data to life within a dynamic dashboard! Bucknam has shown the
Monterey Park MyRoads® account actively
working! Bucknam now provides all our PMP clients
with a unique and agency driven “MyRoads®” web -
portal that provides instantaneous access to your
pavement management database. This
“dashboard” allows users to toggle through
individual sections via GIS mapping selections, zone
queries, rank selection, PCI ranges, etc. to review all section metrics, latest/previous inspections, work
histories generate filtered PCI reports and identify
potential maintenance costs based upon your
unique needs. This tool will be accessed by City
staff simply through a Username/Password
methodology. As changes are made to the Monterey Park PMP database the MyRoads® dataset is changed to reflect work history edits, PCI inspections and section changes. In summary, MyRoads® allows the user to perform the following dynamic functions:

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-8
Pavement Management Program Update

• Query specific pavement segment(s) to view current/historic PCI, work history inspection;
• Filter for pavement sections within a defined zone, PCI range and/or functional class; • Select a pavement section or grouping of section through the on-board GIS tool; • Enter slurry, overlay & reconstruction unit costs to determine preliminary cost of maintenance and resulting citywide PCI
o Display critical street / sidewalk / ROW assets along pavement section(s) that are critical to Engineering Bid development and solicitation (ADA ramps, utilities, manholes, trees, etc.
• Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI, work history, 7-yr forecasted maintenance, etc.) • Bucknam will train Monterey Park staff in the simple use of the MyRoads® dashboard.

Deliverable: PMP software training, field and internal technical support

TASK 3.7: PMP Training / Technical Support
With PMP software use being one of the key components to a successful PMP update, we will provide City staff with quality training and the necessary skills needed to maintain the PMP.

Bucknam will provide City staff with all collected pavement/GIS data. Bucknam staff will conduct comprehensive training sessions covering PMP implementation, PMP methodologies, field survey practices, PCI calculations, StreetSaver use, editing/updating the database , MyRoads®, budget needs analysis, and how to publish PMP data to GIS . Training typically involves several hours of training on StreetSaver, MyRoads® software and GIS data. There is no minimum or maximum number of people that can be trained under this methodology.

Technical support will include the provision of PMP support for two years upon completion of the project (annually). Once the City has approved the Pavement Condition Index Report under this year’s work effort, this service will become active. Our typical support services include:
• Additional budget scenarios, general reporting
• Additional visual inspections above the mileage amount indicated in Task 3.2 • Additional pavement management – GIS mapping
• Additional StreetSaver training, operational use
The agreement will include the provision of onsite and telephone support for the City staff.

Optional Tasks:

TASK 3.8: Asset Inventory
The City’s RFP request for additional asset inventories is identical to the Bucknam / RAS PMP - ROW Rancho Palso Verdes project described in Section 4 for our submittal. Bucknam will perform a GIS digitization sidewalk inventory using available aerial imagery. The imagery will be

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

City of Monterey Park 5-9
Pavement Management Program Update

Example Ladybug ROW Imagery & Pavement LCMS -2 Imagery Deliverables utilized to identify PCC/AC sidewalk locations (GIS polyline locations) and estimated sidewalk widths. Bucknam will add comments to an individual section when deemed necessary.

Roadway Asset Service’s (RAS) high-definition panoramic Ladybug camera will be used to inventory and capture right -of-way (ROW) assets for extraction (pavement markings & striping, curb markings and manholes/values) . T h e i m a g e s a r e c o l l e c t e d a s a 3 6 0 ⁰ r i g h t-of-way panorama, including forward, rearward, and downward pavement viewing images. Each image will be electronically tagged with location information for plotting within a spatial environment.

RAS has a proven methodology to perform asset inventory and inspection services for right of way asset features. The RAS approach includes utilizing the 360 panoramic imagery on the Roadway Asset Collection (RAC) vehicle to identify the asset feature and assign the appropriate attribution. RAS technicians review each frame of imagery using an RAS developed photogrammetry application to ensure all assets are identified.

Data Collection QC and Asset Inventory Validation
In addition, each completed asset inventory is reviewed by a Senior GIS Manager where a minimum of 5% of the inventory is checked for quality assurance purposes. If anomalies exist in the dataset, the inventory is rejected, corrected, and it re- enters the final QA/QC until it passes the 5% visual review by a Senior Manager.

At a minimum, each requested asset will receive a photograph and geolocation for plotting within a spatial environment. Each asset class will be provided to the City as a file geodatabase, with imagery links.

GIS Deliverables and Technical Memorandum
Through negotiations and at the kickoff meeting, the Bucknam- RAS team will discuss and verify all QA/QC and deliverable measures are verified . The Point Gray Ladybug 5+ 32MP 360 -degree High-Definition camera (utilized for accurate ROW asset capture, extraction, and QA/QC) is far superior to multiple independently mounted HD cameras. Applanix POS/LV with DGPS (Provides accurate internal GPS navigation for geo-locating ROW asset information).

RAS will utilize the HD imagery from the Ladybug 360⁰ camera and post -process using RAS software to collect attributes for each asset type within the City’s RFP (pavement markings and striping, curb markings and manholes/valves).

The following attributes will be extracted from the HD imagery and available aerial imagery.

TASK 3.9: Asset Management ArcGIS Online Dashboard
The City has recognized the need for a
single GIS database that contains all asset
data and to improve upon its current
approach to managing asset Maintenance
& Repair. We have described below our
unique approach that will allow the
Monterey Park staff to continuously access
and query the data and manage
infrastructure projects utilizing interactive
ArcGIS Online (AGOL) applications. Additionally, recognizing that tracking asset work history is critical to successful operations within the associated departments, a need has been identified to contract with a GIS management team to champion and ensure GIS projects and associated datasets are efficiently managed. This is essential to achieving short-term goals and establishing long-term success. We will work closely with City staff to ensure the City’s needs are understood and met. This involves understanding the City’s approach to the repair and replacement of assets as well as their associated repair/rehabilitation costs. Bucknam will access the City’s ArcGIS Online account with the provided username and password. A Pavement/Sidewalk GIS DASHBOARD will be designed and built to allow the City staff to access and query the assets in a dynamic and highly responsive user interface. Training will be provided by Bucknam; users will be able to filter the data by Work Zones, Data Attributes and user defined project areas. Above is a screenshot of the City of Lakewood Dashboard built to manage their 14,000+ Sidewalk Distresses.

Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work

Pavement Management Program Update

Bucknam will design and build an
ArcGIS Online Map that will allow City
users to indicate what repairs were
made to an asset, the Worker
performing the task, and the date the
work was performed. When an asset
has been marked as repaired, it will be
indicated on the map and the
calculations in the Dashboard will be
automatically updated. Bucknam will
work with City staff to properly assign all sign replacements/repairs.

The screenshot above is an A
rcGIS Online Map Editor built to manage the City of Lakewood sidewalk repairs by allowing users to select distress locations, assign to Workers, apply priorities and allow status updates from the field via the Field Maps App.

Bucknam will provide a live demo our of ArcGIS Online Maintenance / Operations tool.

Bucknam provides monthly support to the DASHBOARD through annual GIS Support Services contracts. Additionally, Bucknam will:

• Assist City staff in the installation, publication of the ArcGIS Application; • Provide lead on-site/virtual training sessions with City staff on the DASHBOARD’s use; • Establish full linkage of data to the City’s GIS
• Provide final GIS Shapefiles compatible with ArcGIS Pro

City Council Staff Report
DATE: December 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: On-Call Professional Services for Public Works Department RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute 3-year professional services agreements with consulting firms listed in Attachment 1 , in a form approved by the City Attorney, for On-call Engineering services;

2. Approving Task Order No. 1 with Transtech Engineers, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney, for staff augm entation in the Public Works department, not to exceed $845,000 annually;

3. Approving Task Order No. 2 with Transtech Engineers, Inc, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for staff augmentation and plan check services in the Community Development department, not to exceed $1,150,000 annually;

4. Appropriating $275,000 unanticipated General Fund revenue and allocating the funds to the FY 24-25 Budget for Task Order No. 2; and

5. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends executing on -call professional services agreements with various consulting firms to provide engineering services to the Public Works and Community Development departments. The City has worked with ten out of the t hirteen proposed firms. The selected firms provide services in a variety of areas including, without limitation, civil engineering, capital project management, construction management and inspection, plan checking, grant management, surveying and mapping, and buil ding and safety services. All firms have staff that are highly qualified and experienced to meet the City’s various needs. Individual task orders assigned to each firm will not exceed $60,000, however multiple task orders may be issued.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s Engineering division is responsible for the implementation of the City’s annual Capital Improvement Pr ogram (“CIP”). The list of budgeted CIP projects may include street, sewer, water, park and building improvements and/or equipment upgrades requested by various city departments. The Engineering division typically takes the lead in coordinating with each department, preparing bid specifications, administering the Consent Calendar - 3K

contracts, and managing construction. Engineering staff is also responsible for reviewing all private residential and commercial development projects, issuing public works permits, providing inspections, responding to all traffic related issues, attending to the public counter as well as requests from other agencies and utility companies and providing engineering support to all other City departments. Due to ongoing vacancies, the City relies on consulting firms to support Enginee ring division responsibilit ies for timely delivery of services. The flexibility to contract with pre -approved consulting firms on an as-needed basis helps to streamline projects and better serve the public.

Therefore, i t is recommended that City Council approve on -call professional services agreements with various consulting firms , as listed in Attachment 1, to provide professional engineering services to the Public Works department. Services would be provided on an as-needed basis and generally include preparation of engineer plans and design, construction specifications, cost estimates, construction and project management, inspection services, plan check and municipal engineering support. The City has worked with ten out of the thirteen proposed firms. Due to their excellent performance and reliable personnel, staff recommends the City enter into new three-year professional agreements with the various consulting firms. The three other firms are also well prepared to provide a variety of Engineering services to the City and are highly recommended.

Each of the proposed firms have key staff that are experts in their field and are qualified to meet the City’s needs. Entering into professional service agreements with the thirteen firms would be beneficial as it would give staff the flexibility to utilize firms with different specialties or based on availability at certain times due to workloads. Furthermore, continuing on-call Engineering services with firms that the City has previously contracted with is beneficial for the smooth continuity of services as they have experience working with City staff, have working knowledge of Monterey Park’s projects, processes, and community needs.

The Director also recommends City Council approve Task Order No. 1 with Transtech for staff augmentation in the Public Works department, not to exceed $845,000 annually.

Due to recruitment challenges, the City has several vacancies in the Engineering division.

To help deliver capital improvement projects and provide day to day services to the community, Transtech has provided staffing support to the Engineering division through one Engineering Manager, one Associate Engineer and one Public Works Inspe ctor.

Transtech staff is highly experienced , knowledgeable of city projects, and has provided excellent support to the City. Thus, it is recommended that City Council approve a task order for staff augmentation services under the new on-call agreement with Transtech.

Additionally, the Public Works Director (“Director”) recommends, City Council approve a Task Order No. 2 with Transtech Engineers for staff augmentation and plan check services in the Community Development department, not to exceed $1,150,000 annually.

Staff Report

December 4, 2024

Due to vacancies in the Building & Safety Division, supervision, inspection, permit issuance and technical support services from Transtech are needed to maintain the routine operations and complete special projects. The proposed task order would enable the City to utilize Transtech for services such as: management of the Building & Safety Division operations by supervising Permit Technicians, Building Inspectors and a Plan Checker, and ensuring that operations are in accordance with best practices and compliant with the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) and construction codes; building inspections to ensure that development projects undergoing construction are built in accordance with the approved construction plans and are compliant with the MPMC and construction codes; and permit intake and processing.

Proposed Task Order No. 2 will also provide plan check services for the Building & Safety division. Plan Check services are needed to provide timely services to the community and include reviewing construction plans for new developments within the City to ensure that the construction will be compliant with the MPMC and applicable construction codes. The City collects plan check fees from applicants submitting plans to the City for construction projects.

2024-25 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:

The proposed on-call agreements support the City’s strategic goal to maintain, build and modernize infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our city and community. Additionally, it helps maintain fiscal stability of our city’s financial resources by offering flexibility in the procurement of professional services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The firms will be used on as-needed basis and paid out of available budgets as they are assigned. Task Order No. 1, in the amount of $845,000, for Public Works staff augmentation will be funded through salary savings and Capital Improvement Project budgets. Task Order No. 2, in the amount of $1,150,000, for staff augmentation and plan check services in the Community Development department will be funded through salary savings, professional services budget, includes an additional unanticipated revenue of $275,000 from plan check fees collected from applicants for review of construction plans. Authorization is being requested to appropriate $275,000 of unanticipated general fund revenue to the FY 24-25 budget and allocate the funds to execute Task Order No.

The proposed Ordinance is within the scope of the City’s Focused General Plan Update to the Land Use and Urban Design Element which was evaluated under a Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) (SCH No. 2001-01-1074). The FEIR adequately describes and considers the proposed Ordinance for CEQA purposes.

Accordingly, the Ordinance is not subject to further environmental review.

TYPE OF ACTION (LEGISLATIVE)
In considering the Zone Change, the City Council acts in its discretionary legislative capacity. The City Council must make the following findings pursuant to MPMC section

21.38.050:
• That the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan;
Public Hearing - 4A

Staff Report

December 4, 2024
• That the proposed amendment will not adversely affect surrounding properties; and
• That the proposed amendment promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the Zoning Code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On November 3, 2020, the City’s voters initiated changes to the zoning designations for properties throughout the City for consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map when they voted to approve the Land Use and Urban Design Element of the General Plan (“LUE”).

In 2023, the City began efforts in the Our City, Our Plan Campaign to implement the General Plan Land Use and Urban Design Element (“LUE”) and the Housing Element (“HE”), which sets the vision for development within the City. The General Plan is implemented through the zoning regulations located in Title 21 of t he Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”). MPMC section 21.02.220 adopts a zoning map which assigns a zoning designation to each property in the City. This proposed ordinance will change the zonin g designations for properties throughout the City to harmonize the zoning designation with the General Plan Land Use Designation consistent with voter’s approval of the LUE.

BACKGROUND:

The LUE was voter approved by Measure JJ in November of 2020. The HE was approved by the City Council in November 2022, and certified by the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) in March 2023. As part of the work to implement the LUE and HE, the Community Development Director is proposing to re- zone certain properties listed in the proposed Ordinance (Attachment 2) to bring consistency between the General Plan and the MPMC.

ANAYLSIS
If adopted, the Ordinance will make the Zoning Map consistent with the General Plan land use designation as established in Figure LU -3, Land Use Policy Map (Attachment 1) in compliance with State law (Government Code § 65860). ZC -24-03 will impact specific properties across the City, where their zoning designation is inconsistent with adopted land use designations. The affected land use designations and zoning districts are listed in the table below:

Land Use Designation Corresponding Zoning District(s)
Commercial Commercial-Professional (C-P) Zone; or
Commercial Services (C-S) Zone
Innovation/Technology Office-Professional (O-P) Zone
Open Space Open Space (O-S) Zone
Low Density Residential Single-Family Residential (R-1) Zone Medium Density Residential Medium Density Residential (R-2) Zone High Density Residential High Density Residential (R-3) Zone

Staff Report

December 4, 2024
Maps of the affected properties including their existing and proposed zoning districts are included as part of the Ordinance (Attachment 2). Any existing overlay zones, such as the Planned Development Overlay or Senior Citizens Housing Overlay that exist on the affected properties will remain in place.

The remaining General Plan land use designations for Mixed Use, Corporate Center, and Public Facilities will be further examined and evaluated as part of the Our City, Our Plan campaign.
2024-25 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:

The proposed Ordinance meets the strategic plan goal to “Strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities ” because it will create consisten cy between the General Plan and the zoning regulation s will provide clearl y defined development standards that encourage redevelopment of commercial and residential sites and attract new businesses in the affected areas.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION:

The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Monterey Park Progress and posted at City Hall, Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library, and Langley Center on November 21, 2024, with affidavits of posting on file. The legal notice of this hearing was mailed to 267 property owners of affected properties on November 21, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no identifiable fiscal impact s associated with adopting the Ordinance itself (other than costs associated with codifying the Ordinance).

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP (ZC -24-03) TO

CHANGE THE ZONING FOR CERTAIN PROPERTIES FOR

CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE AND URBAN

DESIGN ELEMENT
The City Council of the City of Monterey Park does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:

A. On November 3, 2020, the City’s voters initiated changes to the zoning designations for properties throughout the City for consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map when they adopted the Land Use and Urban Design Element of the General Plan (“LUE”);
B. This Ordinance changes the zoning designation for several properties to conform to the adopted LUE;
C. This Ordinance was reviewed by the City Planner for, in part, consistency with the General Plan, and conformity with the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”);
D. In addition, the City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., (“CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”);
E. The City Planner completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding this Ordinance before the City Council for December 4, 2024; F. Notice of the Public Hearing before the City Council was duly given and published in the time, form, and manner as required by law; G. On December 4, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed re-zoning including, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by the City Planner and public testimony; and
H. The findings in this Ordinance are made based on the entire administrative record including testimony and evidence presented the City Council at its December 4, 2024, public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the City Planner.

SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds as follows:

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 2 OF 6
A. Resolution No.12213, adopted on December 2, 2020, certified the results of the voter approved proposition to revise the Monterey Park 2040 Land Use Element (Measure JJ).

B. Ordinance No. 2198 adopted on December 2, 2020 approved Measure JJ, which was approved by a vote of the people on November 3, 2020 to revise the Monterey Park 2040 LUE.

C. Figure LU-3: Land Use Policy Map was adopted as part of the LUE by the City Council on June 17, 2020 and a vote of the people on November 3, 2020.

SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The City Council reviewed the environmental impacts of this proposed Ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guidelines § 15168 provides that a Program EIR may be prepared to consider the environmental impacts of a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project that are related as logical parts in a chain of contemplated actions. The City Council finds as follows:

A. On December 5, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12126 approving a Focused General Plan update to the City’s LUE and Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) (SCH No. 2001-01-1074).

B. The FEIR is a Program EIR that evaluated the environmental impacts resulting from the LUE implementation which is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference.

C. Changing the zoning designation for those properties identified in this Ordinance is an activity contemplated by the LUE and analyzed under the FEIR.

D. This Ordinance does not contemplate any changes which will require major revisions to the FEIR nor are there any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the FEIR was undertaken.

E. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the FEIR was certified showing: (1) the zone change will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR; (2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR; (3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially redu ce one or more significant effects of the project; or (4) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the FEIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

SECTION 4: Zone Change Findings. Pursuant to MPMC §§ 21.38.050 and 21.42.010,

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 3 OF 6
the City Council finds as follows:

A. The zone change is consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan and will create consistency between the LUE designations and zone designations on the Zoning Map. The zone change affects areas that have a voter approved Land Use designation that implements the LU E (Measure JJ) . The correlations between the proposed zone changes and General Plan Land Use designations exist as follows:
(1) The Monterey Park LUE identifies Innovation/Technology designation as an area for primary uses related to research and development, light manufacturing, service commercials, professional offices, entertainment, and breweries/wineries/distilleries. The LUE also identifies retail and service commercial uses as support services within the Innovation/Technology designation.
(2) LUE Policy 24.1 seeks to ensure that zoning regulations applicable to the Monterey Pass Road corridor permit the range of uses necessary to achieve land use goals and prohibit uses that conflict with those goals. (3) The O -P – Office Professional zone provides for the development of integrated professional, office and limited retail areas that exhibit a diversity of business activity.
(4) The LUE Land Use Plan identifies the Commercial designation as an area for primary uses related to a broad range of retail and service commercial uses, hospitality, entertainment, medical, and professional office. The LUE also identity uses such as schools, public assembly uses, public utilities, community care facilities and similar within the Commercial designation. (5) LUE Policy 11.1 seeks to ensure that new commercial developments address privacy issues relative to any abutting residential neighborhoods, to ensure adequate transition and compatibility between commercial and residential uses.
(6) The C-P – Commercial-Professional zone provides for the development of commercial areas that promote retail and provide transition areas between the City and neighboring communities.
(7) The C -S – Commercial Services zone provides for the development of commercial areas that promote retail and provide transition areas between the City and neighboring communities.
(8) The LUE Land Use Plan identifies the Open Space designation as an area for parks and City -Owned recreational facilities, community gardens, golf course, and resource conservation areas. The LUE also identity public utility

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 4 OF 6
facilities and historic landfills as uses within the Open Space designation. (9) The O-S – Open Space zone provides for the establishment and provision of permanent outdoor recreational and open space resources, and to prevent inappropriate development of areas which should be regulated to provide for recreational, conservation, aesthetic, historic, cultural, scenic or public health and safety uses.
(10) The LUE Land Use Plan identifies the Medium Density designation as an area for primary uses that include attached or detached residential units, with private common open space, at densities ranging from 8.1 – 16.0 units per acre.
(11) The R -2 – Medium Density Residential zone provides medium density residential housing either attached or detached multiple -family units at a density of 16 units per acre.
(12) The Monterey Park Land Use and Urban Design Element identifies High Density designation as an area for primary uses that include attached or detached residential units, with private common open space, at densities ranging from 16.1 to 30 units per acre.
(13) The R-3 – High Density Residential zone provides high density residential housing either attached or detached multiple-family units at a density of 30 units per acre.

B. The zone change will not adversely affect surrounding properties. This Ordinance is an administrative action that does not contemplate any development or otherwise impact any property other than the specific properties being rezoned, which will bring consistency to and is part of the City’s broader land use efforts as reflected in the adopted LUE.

C. The proposed zone change promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the MPMC’s zoning regulations since it will harmonize the General Plan LUE designations and the MPMC . Additionally, this activity is consistent with the various goals an policies of the LUE as identified in this Ordinance.

SECTION 5: Notice of Determination. The Director of Community Development, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with CEQA §§ 15094, and any other applicable law.

SECTION 6: Approval. Based on the evidence and staff report received at the public hearing, the City Council, approves the zone changes as set forth in the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B, which are incorporated by reference.

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 5 OF 6
SECTION 7: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 8: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 9: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the Monterey Park Municipal Code does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance’s effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustainin g action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION 10: Reliance o n Record . Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the matter. The determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 11: Validity of Previous Code Sections . If this entire Ordinance or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of the MPMC or other city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous MPMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.

SECTION 12: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 13: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 14: Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 6 OF 6
be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 15: Publications. The City Clerk, or designee, is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances, make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting, and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, and cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 16: Effective Date . This Ordinance becomes effective on the 30th da y after second reading and adoption.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of December, 2024.
