3-E. CODE ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AUGMENTATION WITH WILLDAN GROUP, INC.

On January 26, 2024, the City executed an on- call professional services agreement with the Wildan Group to provide special planning and municipal - related services. Wildan has provided multiple City departments with specialized services.

The Fire Chief would like to supplement routine code enforcement services with Willdan’s assistance. This is a result of the City’s ongoing challenge in finding qualified employees to fully staff the City’s various departments.

Willdan’s current professional services agreement allows the City to issue task orders for various services. Here, the requested action is to authorize the City Manager to issue a task order for supplemental code enforcement services in an amount not to exceed $150,000 per year.

Action Taken: The City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Willdan Group, Inc. to provide code enforcement services to assist the Fire Department, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for an amount not to exceed $150,000 annually, on Consent Calendar.

December 4, 2024
3-F. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO REINTRODUCE AND WAIVE

The City’s consultant, Transtech Engineers, Inc., assessed and certified 45 segments listed in the City’s 2017 Engineering and Traffic Survey and determined that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred on these segments, (see Attachment 2 to the staff report ) including, without limitation, changes in adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume, and therefore the posted speed limits are valid for 14 years from the adopted date of the survey effective between October 2017 through October 2031.

Twenty-six of the original 73 segments from the 2017 City-wide speed survey were separately reviewed and a new Engineering and Traffic Survey (“ETS”) was completed for these segments.

The first reading of the proposed ordinance was presented to City Council at the November 6, 2024, council meeting. The second reading was supposed to be agendized at the following City Council regular meeting, November 20, 2024.

However, the second reading was inadvertently missed and therefore is being reintroduced. Accordingly, the Public Works Director recommends that the City Council consider reintroducing and waiving first reading of the attached Ordinance.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of speed control regulations established in accordance with California law and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings. This Ordinance, therefore, is an action being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment.

Consequently, it is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 as a minor alteration of existing public or private structures involving no expansion of use; 15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which do not result in any changes in land use or density; and 15308 as an action taken by a regulatory agency as authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of the environment.

December 4, 2024
Action Taken: The City Council reintroduced and waiv ed first reading for an Ordinance setting speed limits throughout the City, on Consent Calendar.

Ordinance 1st Reading, entitled

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS FOR CERTAIN LOCATIONS AS PROVIDED BY MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE § 10.32.010(B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH VEHICLE CODE § 22357 BASED UPON AN
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY AS DEFINED BY VEHICLE CODE § 627.

3-G. BRUGGEMEYER LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS – AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF

NEW INDUSTRIAL POWER DIESEL GENERATOR FROM GENERAC

INDUSTRIAL

The City has received a grant through the Building Forward Library Facilities Improvements Program to install a generator at the Bruggemeyer Library (the “Project”), which serves as one of the City’s designated cooling centers and a designated backup Emergency Operations Center. To expedite the Project, staff is proposing to purchase the generator and related materials directly from the manufacturer due to their long lead time, as well as the time required to obtain the necessary South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) permit. This direct purchase approach will allow the City to reduce delays while concurrently advertising for bids to hire a contractor for the generator’s installation, ensuring the project proceeds efficiently and within the required timelines.

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to purchase one Industrial Power Diesel Generator unit and related material, including processing SCAQMD permit from Generac Industrial in an amount not to exceed $167,497, with an additional contingency amount not to exceed $16,750. This recommendation covers the purchase of the equipment only, excluding any installation or associated costs.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the extension under 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 §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively. This activity contemplates purchasing equipment only. Subsequent installation and construction will be evaluated separately under CEQA. Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review.

4. PUBLIC HEARING

4-A. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ZONE CHANGE NO. ZC-24-03 (“ZC-24-03”), AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE

CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT

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 the 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 zoning 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.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the 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 Guideline § 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 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.

Public Speakers:

- Maychelle Yee, speaking as a resident, questioned the city council’s authority in land use designation. She claimed a potential error in the Land U se Element regarding distilleries & breweries with the Saturn Park area and requested written clarification from City Manager Alvarez concerning this matter.

- City Clerk Yee read, received and filed into the record a written communication from the Law Office of Cynthia Bell who represents the OII Site Custodial Trust.

She voiced her concerns regarding the proposed zone changes allowed in an open space and stated that it is incompatible with the allowed use of the site and would like to discuss the matter further with the City Council.

Discussion: Director of Community Development Serrano along with Planning Manager Chow presented a PowerPoint presentation on the item.

Action Taken: The City Council opened the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. and took testimonial and documentary evidence; after closed the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. and considered the evidence submitted during that public hearing, introduced and waived first reading of an ordinance amending the zoning map for certain properties for consistency with the General Plan, Land Use, and Urban Design Element.

MPLIANCE REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2261 -AA

On N
ovember 20, 2024, a representative from Rykadan 005, LLC (“Rykadan” or the “Developer”) submitted documents to the City Council during public comment (“Developer Comments”). A copy of that document is attached for reference. In sum, Developer seeks to amend a Project that the City Council approved in 2021 via Development Agreement No. 2261-AA (the “Development Agreement”).

Sec
tion 6.1 of the Development Agreement provides that the City may conduct annual reviews of the Project after building permits are issued to determine whether the Developer is acting in good- faith compliance with the Development Agreement. Condition of Approval (“COA”) Nos. 3, 5, 8, and 136 provide authority for the City Council to review the Project at any time. Based upon the Developer Comments, it seems prudent to provide the City Council with a full overview the Project’s status.

ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FOR CERTAIN PROPERTIES

FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT.

On N
ovember 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 2
023, 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 the 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 zoning 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.

FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE SETTING SPEED LIMITS BASED UPON CERTIFICATION OF THE 2017 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY FOR SPEED LIMITS EFFECTIVE THROUGH OCTOBER 2031 AND THE 2024 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY OF 26 LOCATIONS FOR SPEED LIMITS THROUGH OCTOBER 2038
The C
ity’s consultant, Transtech Engineers, Inc., assessed and certified 45 segments listed in the City’s 2017 Engineering and Traffic Survey and determined that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred on these segments, (see Attachment 2 to the staff report ) including, without limitation, changes in adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume, and therefore the posted speed limits are valid for 14 years from the adopted date of the survey effective between October 2017 through October 2031.

Twenty-six of the original 73 segments from the 2017 City-wide speed survey were separately reviewed and a new Engineering and Traffic Survey (“ETS”) was completed for these segments.

The
first reading of the proposed ordinance was presented to City Council at the November 6, 2024, council meeting. The second reading was supposed to be agendized at the following City Council regular meeting, November 20, 2024.

However, the second reading was inadvertently missed and therefore was reintroduced at the December 4, 2024 meeting. Regrettably, the December 4th staff report did not include the proposed ordinance as an attachment which requires the ordinance be reintroduced a third time. Accordingly, the Public Works Director recommends that the City Council consider reintroducing and waiving first reading of the attached Ordinance.

QA (California Environmental Quality Act):

This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq ., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of speed control regulations established in accordance with California law and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings. This Ordinance, therefore, is an action being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment.

By no longer supporting the replacements parts and repairs, the Department’s current SCBAs will no longer be approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (“NIOSH”) and can no longer be used in occupational settings.

Therefore, a local emergency exists and the Department’s current SCBAs require immediate replacement.

The C
hief recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute necessary Agreements, without the need for competitive bidding for the replacement of SCBAs for the Fire Department. This includes a quote for purchase with Bauer Compressors for $633,812.92.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: February 19, 2025
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jessica Serrano, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with CSG Consultants to develop land use regulations for the Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with CSG Consultants, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the scope of services described in Attachment 1, in an amount not to exceed $220,725;

2. Authorizing a budget appropriation of $160,725 from the General Fund for the 2024-2025 fiscal year; and

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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On October 2, 2024, City Council directed the City Manager and City Attorney to draft proposed land use regulations to expand allowed uses within Saturn Park. These would allow mixed use developments, including residential uses, and neighborhood serving commercial uses.

The City received a proposal from CSG Consultants in the amount of $220,725 for drafting regulations, and related work, to implement the City Council’s direction. This firm was determined to be the most qualified due to the thoroughness of the proposal and this firm’s prior experience with similar projects.

Because CSG Consultants’ proposal for the SPARC process exceeds the City Manager’s signature authority, City Council authorization is requested to authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with CSG Consultants to perform this work. Consequently, the Community Development Director requests that the City Council authorize a budget appropriation not to exceed $160,725 for CSG Consultants’ services.

BACKGROUND:

On October 2, 2024, the City Council directed the City Manager and City Attorney to draft land use regulations to explore different uses within Saturn Park. Such uses would allow, for example mixed use developments including residential uses and neighborhood serving commercial uses.

Consent Calendar - 3B

Staff Report

Page 2 of 3 ends

February 19, 2025

After seeking proposals for this work, the Director determined that CSG Consultants’ proposal to be the best proposal due to its thoroughness and the company’s prior experience with preparing similar amendments and environmental documents in other cities.

The City Council previously authorized $110,000 to develop land use regulations. Work leading up to the October 2, 2024 meeting cost $50,000 leaving $60,000 remaining from this previously authorized amount.

CSG Consultants’ proposal provides three options for the environmental documents associated with this work which vary in price. Staff recommends that the City proceed with funding for option 3 outlined in the proposal which includes the preparation of a n environmental impact report. The proposal in option 3 is estimated to cost $220,725. The Community Development Director requests an additional appropriation of $160,725 from the General Fund budget to retain CSG Consultants to complete the scope of work described in Attachment 1. It should be noted that technical studies need to be performed to determine the level of environmental review required for this project. Any unspent amounts will be returned to the General Fund.

Additionally, City Council authorization is requested to authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with CSG Consultants to perform this work because CSG Consultants’ proposal for the SPARC process exceeds the City Manager’s signature authority.

2024-25 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:

Expansion of allowed uses at Saturn Park will advance the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal to “Strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities” by increasing options for potential future development at Saturn Park. It will also implement the Land Use Element of the Monterey Park General Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed contract amount for CSG Consultants’ services is $220,725. An authorized budget appropriation of $110,000 from the General Fund was previously approved by City Council; $50,000 was utilized for previous work. A budget appropriation of $160,725 from the General Fund is required to pay for services related to the City Council’s direction regarding Saturn Park.

3. ZONING CODE AMENDMENT (SATURN PARK) AND HOUSING

ELEMENT TECHNICAL CORRECTION AND CEQA
Project Understanding
CSG understands that the Saturn Business Park Zoning Code Amendment (proposed project) includes amendments to the City’s Saturn Park (S-P) Zone to allow mixed use developments, neighborhood serving commercial uses, and additional uses consistent with the General Plan, Land Use, and Urban Design Element.

The proposed project would also add development standards to the S-P zone that apply to expanded allowed uses and include additional data center regulations. The proposed project would also include a technical correction to the sites inventory of the Housing Element to remove City-owned parcels on Lincoln and Garvey Avenue (Assessor Parcel Numbers [APN]: 5255-008-900 and 5255-008-902) and replace those housing units on parcels within the Saturn Park site. Any CEQA processing required for any development on the City-owned parcels would be separate from this scope of work.

Pursuant to direction provided by City Council in October 2024, regarding Saturn Park, and per City Attorney and staff direction received January 28, 2025, and February 7, 2025, CSG understands the following amendments are to be made to the S-P zone:
 Expand allowed uses to allow:
o Mixed use developments
o Neighborhood serving commercial uses
o Additional uses consistent with General Plan, Land Use, and Urban Design Element  Adding development standards that apply to expanded allowed uses  Adding additional data center regulations
 Conducting a technical correction the sites inventory of the General Plan Housing Element as follows:
o Remove City-owned parcels on Lincoln and Garvey Avenue (5255-008-900 and 5255-008-902) o Add properties to Saturn Park site
 Preparing environmental documents for these actions
Approach to Work
CSG will undertake a Zoning Code amendment to the Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone (S-P Zone) to allow new uses including: 1) Mixed Use developments, 2 ) Neighborhood serving commercial uses, 3) additional uses consistent with the General Plan, Land Use and Urban Design Element, and 4) housing uses to replace housing units removed from City-owned parcels pursuant to “no net loss” requirements and direction provided by the Monterey Park City Council on October 2, 2024. This scope will also include the creation of additional regulations related to Data Center uses and Development Standards for the expanded uses described above.

Additionally, CSG will conduct a technical correction to the General Plan Housing Element sites inventory by removing City-owned parcels on Lincoln and Garvey Avenue (5255-008-900 and 5255-008-902) and replacing them with parcels at the Saturn Park site.

CSG will review all background information, including notes from previous community engagement activities.

CSG will prepare an Initial Study (IS) that will analyze the project’s characteristics, construction and buildout assumptions, and technical studies for potential impacts pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. We understand that the proposed project may be eligible for review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, Addendum to an EIR (in this case the General Plan Update EIR [GPU EIR], completed in June 2019, State Clearinghouse Number 2001-1-1074). CEQA mandates that the lead agency can prepare an addendum to a

CSG will revise the document and provide the Draft IS as a Word file, with all changes presented in track changes to assist the final check of the document. A PDF of the Draft IS will also be provided, including all exhibits and appendix material.

4.3 Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy Impact Analysis Ganddini will prepare an air quality, greenhouse gas, and energy impact analysis for the proposed project.

Ganddini will begin by identifying the existing air quality setting in the area. They will also identify applicable international, federal, state, South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD’s), and local rules and regulations including the State greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations Assembly Bills (AB) 32 and 1493, Senate Bills (SB) 32, 97, 107, 375, 527, 1368, and 1771, and Executive Orders S-3-05 and S-14-08. Ganddini will obtain existing air quality data from air quality monitoring stations within the study area utilizing California Air Resources Board (CARB) data sources. Data will be obtained for air pollutants, including ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), PM10, and PM2.5. Ganddini will identify GHGs and their associated impacts to global climate change and thresholds of significance for the criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Page 59 of 241 ends

Revised Proposal for Zoning Code Amendment – Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone and CEQA Documentation 9 As the construction and buildout of the planning area is speculative, the construction analysis will be qualitative and will refer to/cite the data provided in the GPU EIR. Ganddini will evaluate and quantify regional criteria pollutant and GHG emissions associated with the existing GP land uses within the Saturn Park area, the original General Plan (GP) land uses for the area and the proposed GP Buildout with the zoning/land use changes for the area, utilizing the CalEEMod Model. Ganddini will also provide a qualitative discussion of the potential for the GP Buildout with the Zoning Code Amendment Update to generate CO hot spots. They will then evaluate the operational GHG emissions, as detailed above, using the latest version of CalEEMod. The project's emissions will be compared to the SCAQMD’s service population target thresholds for plans. Ganddini will also compare the proposed project and its emissions to the goals of the City of Monterey Park Climate Action Plan.

Ganddini will also provide a qualitative odor analysis related to the construction and operation of the proposed project.

Ganddini will also identify the existing energy use conditions and the applicable federal, state, and local rules and regulations pertaining to energy use. The energy analysis will provide a CalEEMod-based quantitative analysis and discussion of project related energy use during operation. They will also provide a qualitative discussion of energy use during construction and provide an analysis of the project’s consistency with renewable energy and energy efficiency plans.

Ganddini will then prepare a technical report that incorporates the methodology, findings, and all supporting calculations and assumptions.

4.4 Noise Impact Analysis
Ganddini will prepare a noise impact analysis for the proposed project. Ganddini will begin by reviewing relevant project and site background information, base graphics showing the site vicinity, the proposed project and adjacent land uses. Ganddini will model and predict vehicle noise associated with existing, existing plus project, and existing plan vs. proposed plan (as traffic data is available) using Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) modeling procedures. They will also determine if the proposed project would result in substantial increases in ambient noise levels in light of applicable City ordinances and General Plan goals and policies.

Ganddini will also model future traffic noise levels associated with acoustical significant roadways in the Saturn Park plan area using FHWA or SoundPLAN noise modeling procedures. Ganddini will evaluate project consistency with the City’s Noise/Land Use Compatibility criteria and recommend Best Management Practices to avoid inconsistences with the City’s Noise/Land Use Compatibility criteria. Ganddini will also evaluate the potential for vehicle traffic associated with the proposed project to result in substantial increases in ambient noise levels.

Ganddini will then prepare a technical report that incorporates the methodology, findings, and all supporting calculations and assumptions.

4.5 Transportation Analysis
Ganddini Group shall prepare a traffic analysis for the proposed project. Ganddini will coordinate with City staff to determine buildout potentials for the project planning areas under current and proposed zoning codes. They will calculate the weekday AM/PM peak hour and daily project trip generation for existing, proposed, and net land use plans based on average trip generation rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition, 2021). Then they will prepare a brief qualitative assessment of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impacts associated with the proposed Zoning Code amendment. Based on preliminary review, the proposed Zoning Code amendment would allow local serving commercial and/or mixed-use development, which would typically reduce VMT by improving proximity of shopping and service uses.

Ganddini will also conduct a Level of Service Analysis tiering from the GPU EIR. The net trip generation increase shall be distributed and assigned to study roadway segment “O” and study intersections 28-30 in the Saturn

Page 60 of 241 ends

Revised Proposal for Zoning Code Amendment – Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone and CEQA Documentation 10 Park area. The net trip generation will be added to Future (2040) With General Plan traffic volumes from the GPU EIR. Ganddini will then prepare a technical memorandum that incorporates the methodology, findings, and all supporting calculations and assumptions. The memorandum will identify whether the net trip generation associated with the proposed project is expected to result in additional impacts compared to those previously identified in the GPU EIR.

4.6 Geotechnical and Soil Investigation
Ninyo & Moore will evaluate the potential geologic, geotechnical, or soils impacts that may be associated with the proposed project. Their preliminary geotechnical evaluation will address the soils and geologic conditions underlying the Saturn Park area.

Their geotechnical services will begin with a review of the existing geologic conditions based on readily available geologic maps, published geotechnical literature, geologic and seismic data, aerial photographs, groundwater data, and in-house information. They will then perform geotechnical reconnaissance to document the existing surficial conditions at the site. Ninyo & Moore will then assess the general geologic conditions and seismic hazards affecting the site. Their evaluation of geologic impacts would include erosion potential, compressible soils, expansive soils, shallow groundwater, sea level rise, and coastal erosion. Evaluation of seismic impacts would include potential surface rupture, ground shaking, and liquefaction. Ninyo & Moore will then compile and analyze existing geotechnical data pertaining to the subsurface conditions. Their scope of services does not include subsurface exploration or laboratory testing.

Ninyo & Moore will then prepare an illustrated written report providing their preliminary findings and conclusions regarding geology and soils conditions that may impact development within the Saturn Park area.

Their report will also include a discussion of potential geologic hazards and include preliminary geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for development within the area.

7.2 Scoping/Community Meeting
Upon publication of the IS/NOP, a public scoping meeting, which can also involve federal, state, and local agencies, will be scheduled during the NOP public review period. The intent of the public scoping meeting, for CEQA, is to inform the community of the proposed project and allow the public to provide comments on environmental concerns. The Scoping Meeting will orient the community on the CEQA review process and will be presented in a way that the community can gain a greater understanding of the proposal, the intent of CEQA, and the key issue areas to be addressed in the EIR. CSG can provide handouts and PowerPoint information to supplement the presentation. Following the presentation, the meeting will be devoted to the public to share questions and comments. Comment forms will be made available and oral comments will be recorded and

Revised Proposal for Zoning Code Amendment – Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone and CEQA Documentation 14 become a part of the administrative record. This scope of work assumes one scoping meeting, however, additional meetings can be arranged and scheduled, subject to further discussions with the City.

7.3 Administrative Draft SEIR
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and Sections 15120 through 15132, the Administrative Draft SEIR will include the Introduction and Purpose, Executive Summary and Project Description. The Environmental Analysis section will identify the existing conditions baseline for each topic, short-term demolition/construction, and long-term environmental impacts (both individually and cumulative) and the level of significance of those impacts. Feasible mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce the significance of impacts, and the analysis will conclude if any unavoidable significant adverse impacts are identified following the implementation of mitigation. The contents of the Administrative Draft SEIR are listed as follows:
 Executive Summary
 Introduction and Purpose
 Project Description
 Environmental Topical Areas of Study
 Aesthetics  Land Use and Planning
 Agriculture and Forest Resources  Mineral Resources
 Air Quality  Noise
 Biological Resources  Population and Housing
 Cultural Resources  Public Services and Recreation
 Energy  Transportation
 Geology and Soils  Tribal Cultural Resources
 Greenhouse Gas Emissions  Utilities and Service Systems  Hazards and Hazardous Materials  Wildfire
 Hydrology and Water Quality  Mandatory Findings of Significance

As part of this task, CSG will request a Sacred Lands File search from the NAHC and provide the results to the City along with the NAHC’s tribal referral list. After that, we will prepare a template Assembly Bill 52 consultation letter for the City to use to initiate the necessary government-to-government consultation procedures with the appropriate local tribes.

Alternatives to the Proposed Project
In coordination with City Staff, CSG will develop project alternatives designed to avoid and/or substantially reduce any impacts that cannot otherwise be mitigated to a level less than significant. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, CSG will provide an analysis of a “reasonable range” of alternatives, comparing the environmental impacts of each alternative in each impact area to the proposed project. For those alternatives considered but rejected from further consideration, CSG will document those alternatives in this section. This scope of work assumes alternatives to be included are a No Project alternative, which is the circumstance under which the project does not proceed, and up to two additional alternatives. An impact matrix will be provided to depict the comparison of impacts (i.e., environmentally superior, inferior, or similar) of each of the Alternatives analyzed.

Cumulative Projects Analysis
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15130, the environmental review for each topical issue will address cumulative considerations. A cumulative projects list will be referenced pursuant to information available from the City of Monterey Park, Los Angeles County, and local agencies in proximity to the site. The purpose of this review is to present a listing and description of projects, past and present, and those anticipated

Page 65 of 241 ends

Revised Proposal for Zoning Code Amendment – Saturn Park Innovation/Technology Zone and CEQA Documentation 15 in the reasonably foreseeable future. The potential for impacts and level of significance are based upon the radius or area of interaction with the project area. The cumulative projects will be listed by name, location, and description and will be the basis for the cumulative impact analysis for each environmental topic.

Additional CEQA Sections
CSG will provide additional EIR sections to meet CEQA and City requirements, including the following: Growth- Inducing Impacts; Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes; Effects Found Not to Be Significant; Significant and Unavoidable Adverse Impacts; Organizations and Persons Consulted; Prepares of the EIR; and Acronyms.

7.4 Preliminary Draft SEIR
This scope of work assumes the City will provide one set of consolidated, vetted comments (with tracked changes in the Word document) on the Administrative Draft SEIR. Upon receipt of the comments, CSG will revise and prepare a Preliminary Draft SEIR and technical appendices for approval by City staff.

7.5 Draft SEIR
Following approval of the Preliminary Draft SEIR, CSG will prepare the Public Review Draft SEIR for distribution.

CSG will prepare the Draft SEIR for the 45-day public review period. This scope of work assumes CSG will draft the Notice of Availability (NOA) and the Notice of Completion (NOC) and that CSG will file the Draft SEIR and appendices to the State Clearinghouse (SCH) electronically. This scope of work assumes CSG will distribute copies of the Draft SEIR to any identified responsible and trustee agencies and any other agencies that may be appropriate, will be responsible for filing the document and associated notices with the County Clerk, and the City will be responsible for site posting and newspaper noticing required for the project.

7.6 Administrative Final SEIR
CSG will respond to comments received on the Draft SEIR and all testimony received at the public hearing during the 45-day public review period. CSG will prepare thorough, reasoned, and sensitive responses to relevant environmental issues. The draft responses to comments will be prepared for review by staff. CSG will address one complete set of comments from City staff and will provide revisions in track changes for ease of review. The updated Response to Comments section will be incorporated as a section into the Final SEIR.

It is unknown at this time the extent of public and agency comments that will result from the public review process. Should the extent of responses to comments exceed the budget estimate, additional funding may be required. The scope of work does not assume any further supplemental technical studies or extensive analysis will be required for the response to comments. If it is determined that supplemental technical analysis is required, CSG will work with the City to determine the associated scope of work and additional funding required.

The Administrative Final SEIR will also include an Errata, necessary revisions to the EIR text, with underline text for any new or modified text, and “strike out” for any deleted text. The Administrative Final EIR will also include a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). CSG will respond to one round of consolidated, vetted comments on the Administrative Final SEIR.

7.7 Final SEIR
The Final EIR will consist of the Response to Comments, MMRP, and Errata. A “check copy” Final EIR will be provided for review and confirmation that the Final EIR is complete. This scope of work assumes CSG will distribute copies of the Final SEIR to any identified responsible and trustee agencies and any other agencies that may be appropriate, will be responsible for filing the document and NOD with the County Clerk and SCH within five days following final action, and the City will be responsible for site posting and newspaper noticing required for the project.

7.8 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
To comply with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (AB 32180), CSG will prepare an MMRP to be defined through working with City staff to identify appropriate monitoring steps/procedures and provide a basis for monitoring such measures during and upon project implementation. The MMRP will outline the mitigation measure number, as referenced in the SEIR; the mitigation measure/condition of approval; the project time to which the measures apply; future review and reporting requirements; responsible party for cost of mitigation; responsible party for implementing and enforcing mitigation; requirements for monitoring by outside agency; and monitoring and report frequency. A draft MMRP will be prepared for review by staff and CSG will respond to one set of City staff comments to finalize the MMRP.

7.9 Draft Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations Preparation CSG will provide administrative assistance to facilitate the CEQA process including the preparation of the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, if required, for City use in the project review process. The Findings will be prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 and 15093 and in a City specified format. The Draft Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations will be submitted for City review. CSG will respond to one set of comments from the City.

8.0 Project Management and Coordination Meetings

8.1 Project Management
The CSG Project Manager will be responsible for the management and supervision of the Project Team. The Project Manager will direct the preparation of the focused Zoning Code amendment and CEQA document. The Project Manager will ensure compliance with CEQA requirements, guidelines, and the City of Monterey Park CEQA procedures. Documentation will be prepared in a City-approved format and will undergo internal review to ensure that it is of high quality, per industry standards, and is legally defensible. The PM will coordinate with the City and/or other stakeholder representatives as well as internal technical staff, support staff, and word processing/editing team members to achieve the timely completion of all documentation. Throughout the work program, the CSG team will serve as an extension of City staff and serve as a resource on the amendments and CEQA and environmental review matters.

Monthly invoices will include the total contract amount, all costs (by task) incurred to date (actual and percentage), estimated completion percentage for each task, and financial information for each task for that billing period.

8.2 Project Coordination Meetings
Close coordination with staff is essential. CSG will participate in progress/project conference calls and/or meetings. The meetings are anticipated to include the Project Kickoff meeting and update calls with City staff.

This scope assumes 6, 30-minute coordination meetings for the preparation of an IS/(M)ND, 4, 30 minute- coordination meetings for the preparation of an IS/Addendum, and 16, 30-minute coordination meetings for the preparation of a SEIR. CSG will confirm assumptions before finalizing the agreement for consultant services.

Should the City determine that additional meetings beyond the meetings outlined above are necessary, this scope of work can be modified accordingly.

9.0 Public Hearings

9.1 City Council Hearings
This scope of work assumes CSG staff attendance at up to two City Council Hearings. As stated previously, CSG will prepare all resolutions and ordinances related to the Zoning Code Amendment. CSG will also draft staff report language for the City’s use.

Optional Task: Cultural Resources Analysis
Though the area is a formal gravel pit, ground-disturbing activities carried out as allowed by future development within the Saturn Park area could result in damage to or destruction of previously undiscovered archaeological and/or Native American cultural resources. Therefore, CSG is including this due-diligence analysis as an optional task.

CRM TECH will digitize the project boundary for each site into the GIS mapping program and plot them on current and historic-era United States Geologic Survey maps and General Land Office plat maps for use during the records search, prehistorical, and historical background research, and for inclusion in the due diligence report. Then they will conduct a historical/archaeological resources records search on the project area and vicinity at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), California State University, Fullerton.

Following the review of general prehistorical and historical background information available from the records search and from archaeological, ethnographic, and historical literature and early maps for information about past land uses and development trends within and around the project area. CRM TECH will then conduct a field inspection of the project site, including the existing parking lots and buildings, and assess the sensitivity for additional historical/archaeological resources.

Information available currently indicates that at least two of the buildings on these properties are more than 50 years old. As discussed in the General Plan Update EIR, the City has not conducted a citywide historic resources survey, so the number of potential historic buildings and structures are unknown. CRM TECH will complete field-recording procedures on the existing buildings to determine whether they retain sufficient historical character to be considered potential “historical resources.” CRM TECH will also complete standard site record forms (DPR 523) on the buildings and/or any other cultural resources identified in the project area that merit formal recordation under guidelines set forth by the California State Office of Historic Preservation.

As part of a program-level study, the recordation effort will focus on documenting the current condition of these resources and will not seek to complete in- depth historical research and significance evaluation, pending future project-level studies. CRM Tech will conclude their analysis by preparing a memorandum/letter report to document the methods and findings of the previously described tasks, identify all cultural resources encountered within the project boundaries (including the buildings), and provide program-level conclusions and recommend subsequent courses of action for cultural resource compliance. This optional task can be completed for $9,235.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: February 19, 2025
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chris Thompson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement No. 2454-AA with SVT Fleet Solutions, LLC RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to Agreement No. 2454- AA with SVT Fleet Solutions, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for maintenance and repair of fire engines, quint and other emergency vehicles for an amount not to exceed $125,000; and

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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Currently, the Fire Department has a maintenance contract with SVT Fleet Solutions, LLC for the maintenance and repairs of the Department’s emergency vehicles in an amount not to exceed $58,000 for FY 2024-25. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Department has multiple emergency vehicles that need routine maintenance and repairs, and the Fire Chief (“Chief”) is requesting an amendment to the contract to ensure the vehicles can receive service.

BACKGROUND:

The Fire Department (“Department”) has historically sent emergency vehicles for service to SVT Fleet (formerly known as SoCal Fleet) . They are a trusted vendor with years of experience working on emergency response vehicles. However, due to natural wear and tear on the fleet, several of the Department vehicles are in need of extensive repairs. In the last two months , the Department assisted on two regional strike teams, which adds additional wear and tear on the fleet. In mid -December, the Department sent out an engine and fire suppression staff to assist with the Franklin Fire in Malibu. And in January, the Department sent out an engine and fire suppression staff to assist on the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades. These incidents required the engines to be used in a h eavy capacity for long period of times. Routine maintenance is critical to ensure the vehicles are reliable to use both in the City of Monterey Park and on potential regional strike teams.

To ensure the emergency fleet vehicles are in working condition, the Fire Chief is requesting an amendment to Agreement No. 2454 -AA, to increase the contract amount not to exceed $125,000 this fiscal year.

AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott Wiese, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Purchase of a Law Enforcement Van for the Neighborhood Engagement Team (NET)
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Waiving additional bidding requirements pursuant to Monterey Park Municipal Code § 3.20.050( 2) and authorizing the City to execute a contract with National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of a 2025 Ford Transit van.

2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement with National Auto Fleet Group, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the purchase of a 2025 Ford Transit van for homeless outreach transportation within the NET Team in the amount of $87,496.27 for a total not to exceed $120,000.00 from the Police Department’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation Grant Year.

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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In the spring of 2020, the Police Department launched the Neighborhood Engagement Team (NET) to provide outreach services to the City’s unsheltered population. Its primary focus is on facilitating rapid rehousing navigation and delivering ongoing support services.

In the summer of 2021, the City employed a housing navigator/case manager to assist individuals experiencing homelessness in accessing essential services. This support includes transportation to social service centers for obtaining state-issued identification, attending shower events, participating in medical appointments and accessing shelters.

Today, NET has transformed into a comprehensive service team comprised of specially trained officers and professional staff devoted entirely to assisting the unhoused community. A dedicated van will be exclusively utilized for outreach services to these individuals. This vehicle will be distinctly branded for NET, ensuring it does not resemble any patrol or enforcement vehicles.

BACKGROUND:

Officers often rely on police patrol units, when available, to transport unhoused persons they encounter. Many social service centers and rapid rehousing locations are outside the jurisdiction of Monterey Park, with some being as far away as Lancaster. The NET team encounters approximately 100 unsheltered individuals each month, and about 10% of this population receives services from NET. The homelessness situation in Monterey Park fluctuates, making it impracticable to predict when transportation will be needed.

Therefore, there is a critical need for a vehicle to be readily available for the NET team's use.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Monterey Park traditionally celebrates its “birthday” each May with a four - day celebration in Barnes Park, “Happy Birthday Monterey Park, Play Days.” The festivities include carnival rides, games, food trucks, and live entertainment. Separately, the City also hosts the Electric Park music event, a growing annual celebration of electronic music that fosters community engagement and cultural enrichment.

Building on the success of the first Play Days beer garden in 2024 and the Electric Park beer garden, the City aims to continue this feature in 2025. Beer gardens at both events were well received by the community, providing a safe and enjoyable experience while raising valuable funds for the Alhambra Educational Foundation. Given the success of events, the Alhambra Educational Foundation confirmed their interest in hosting the beer garden at both events in 2025. The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is confident that this opportunity will continue to generate additional funds to support and enhance the educational programs of the Alhambra Unified School District.

systems, and trench repair restoration. In addition, the project will include the installation of fiber optic conduits and related infrastructures. This task is part of the City’s CIP No. 99032, Adaptive Tr affic Project. However, to avoid cutting the street again after the water project is complete, staff is incorporating this work as part of the water project and trenching for the installation of the fiber optic at the same time as the water line. This will result in cost savings and efficient work, lessening the inconvenience to the public. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-R48, the Public Works Director (“Director”) solicited bids for the S. Atlantic Blvd and S. Garfield Ave Phase VI Water Main Improvements projec
t (Specification No. 2024-010).

The public bid opening for the S. Atlantic Blvd and S. Garfield Ave Phase VI Water Main Improvements project was held on January 14, 2025. Eight bids were received: J.A.

Salazar, Big Ben Engineering, Stephen Doreck, CEM Construction, Ferreira Construction, Dominguez General Engineering, W.A. Rasic Construction, and Toro Enterprises. It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Works contract with J.A. Salazar Construction & Supply Corp., for the Project in the amount of $3,467,275, plus a contingency amount not to exceed $173,364.

Supporting services includes a contract for construction management and construction inspection, with SA Associates for $230,000 and geotechnical services with Terracon Consultants for $67,000.

BACKGROUND:

The 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program includes the Project as CIP No. 99032 to be funded primarily by Fund 408 – Water Funds. The Project consists of the replacement of approximately 7,000 lineal feet of Polyvinyl Chloride ( PVC) pipe at variou s diameters, removal and installation of approximatel y 35 fire hydrants, installation of approximately 70 Water services, installation of valves, abandonment of existing mains, tie-in-to existing systems, installation of 6,500 linear feet of fiber opti c conduits and splice vaults, and trench repairs.

The bid submitted by J.A. Salazar Construction & Supply Corp. is the apparent lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder. J.A. Salazar Construction & Supply Corp. contractor’s license was verified with the California State Contractor’s License Board to be current, active, and in good standing. Registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) was verified. Staff also contacted contractor’s references and received positive feedback.

Additionally, staff obtained proposals from three of the City’s on-call consultants for construction management and construction inspection for the Project: SA Associates, Cannon, and TYLin. These services include holding recurring meetings with City staff and all involved parties, review project plans, take photos and videos daily of existing site conditions, provide field observations during construction, report to City any violations and application regulations, and turn over all documents including fina l redline as -built drawings to City. Since the proposed work exceeds the City Manager’s contracting authority under the current on-call agreement, staff recommends City Council approve a Task Order with SA Associates in a not to exceed amount of $ 230,000, including a 10% contingency, for these services.

Furthermore, staff requested a proposal from Terracon for geotechnical services for this Project. Geotechnical services are required to maintain road stability once all underground work has been completed. Since the proposed work exceeds, the City Manager’s contracting authority under the current on-call agreement with Terracon Consultants, staff recommends City Council approve a Task Order with Terracon Consultants in a not to exceed amount of $67,000, including a 9% contingency, for these services.

Due to trenching, these projects typically result in large amount of dirt material that needs to be disposed. However, staff identified this as a source of fill material for the Barnes

Park Pool demolition project. The filling of the pool was incorporated into the scope of work and will be funded by the Barnes Park Pool project, CIP No. The estimated cost for this portion of the work is $350,000.

The installation of fiber optic conduit and related vaults and services as part of the Adaptive Traffic project is also incorporated into the scope of work. This will avoid additional trenching and construction work on the roads once the water project is completed. The estimated cost for work related to the Adaptive Traffic project is $480,000.

Subject: Proposal for Construction Management and Inspection Services for S. Atlantic Boulevard and S.

Garfield Avenue Phase VI Water Main Improvements, Specification No. 2024-010 Dear Ziad:

We are pleased to submit our proposal to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services for S.

Atlantic Boulevard and S. Garfield Avenue Phase VI Water Main Improvements The work consists of the installation of water main s along S. Atlantic B oulevard, S. Garfield Avenue, and Harding Avenue; including construction of water service line replacement, installation of new fire hydrants and laterals, fire services lines, and appurtenances, valves, abandonment of existing mains, tie -in to existing systems, trench repair restoration, and all related work as per plans and specifications.

The construction schedule is 90 working days.

SCOPE OF WORK
The Construction Manager (CM) will be in charge of construction management operations. The CM will coordinate with the Inspector for regular updates on the project.

The scope of work will be divided into three phases as follows:

Pre-Construction Services:

1. Conduct a kick-off meeting with the City staff and all involved parties to discuss the scope of the project.

2. Review the project plans and conduct a job walk to verify the site conditions. Determine the construction requirements, constraints, sequence of operations, methods of traffic control, and related project activities/events. Determine any interference with current or future projects and make recommendations for construction staging and phasing.

3. Take photos and video of the existing site conditions.

Construction Phase Services:

1. Attend the Pre-Construction Conference

2. Attend a weekly meeting with the contractor to obtain updates, discuss RFI’s and submittals, any change order, review schedule, and go over any ongoing issues, potential change orders, etc. Attend a weekly update meeting with the City Project Manager to go over project progress, schedule , billing, issues. Develop a weekly agenda for both meetings.

3. Provide field observation during construction. We will conduct detailed site observations of the general progress of the work to determine if the work is proceeding in accordance with the contract documents.

4. The Construction Inspector will:
● Attend all meetings, ensure compliance with the contract documents ● Coordinate and schedule sampling and testing of construction materials, soil, AC compaction tests, etc.
● Retain materials delivery tickets prior to placement of material ● Record up-to-date construction information to use in preparation of the record drawings ● Prepare daily reports

● Report to City any violations to any applicable regulations ● Maintain a copy of the contract documents and construction-related documents at the site ● Coordinate all construction activities with the utility companies and other agencies within the project area and as required by the City

5. Prepare construction inspection reports
• Contractor’s working hours on the jobsite. A separate log will be maintained if the contractor works two shifts or nights.
• Contractor and subcontractor personnel and equipment on the jobsite. • Weather conditions and observations as to the effect on the progress of the work. • Decisions or directions given to the contractor. Items of this nature would be those of usual work progress with directions to be included in a more formal manner. • Daily utilization of the contractor and subcontractor equipment on the site, but obviously idle or in temporary storage will be so noted on the report.
• Observations connected with the progress of the work including deficiencies or violations of contract requirements by the contractor.
• Materials delivered to the job site, together with indication as to results of inspection thereof. • Observed or potential delays and apparent causes. The contractor’s reaction to these delays will be noted.
• Data relative to claims, extras or deduction. This should include those noted and agreed, as well as potential claims or items of disagreement.
• Lists of visitors, including testing laboratory representatives or others.

6. Administer, Review and Track Requests for Information (RFI’s), Requests for Clarifications (RFC’s), and Shop Drawings
SA Associates will establish and implement a Request for Information (RFI) procedure for use in providing resolutions to inquiries from the contractor regarding interpretations and clarifications of the plans and specifications. Per the City, the design engineer will review any RFI’s and submittals.

7. Evaluate the contractor’s pay applications and prepare submittals for City payment. Verify that the quantities or percentage complete claimed are true and accurate. Maintain an estimate of overall construction cost based on the contractor’s bid and earned value of work completed and compile recommendations for contractor payment and forward to the City Project manager.

8. Contractor Change Orders (CCO’s) may be requested by the City, the contractor, the Construction Inspector, or the design engineer. Upon receipt of a proposed change, the Construction Inspector will determine the necessity of the change, check for propriety, consider other method s of accomplishing the work, method of compensation, effect on contract time, estimate of cost, the contractor’s reaction to the proposed change, and the probability of final approval.

If the Construction Inspector determines that a proposed change is warranted, a proposed change order file will be established. Documents, prepared by the Construction Inspector describing the work, will be transmitted to the contractor for pricing. Concurrently, independent estimate of cost and time impact will be prepared by the County and Construction Inspector. Upon receipt of the contractor’s quotation, the Construction Inspector will review and compare it to the independent estimate. Based on the r eview, the Construction Inspector will either recommend approval to the County, or recommend rejection. If negotiation is authorized, the Construction Inspector will conduct the negotiations with the Contractor.

For work where a unit cost is not determined prior to performing the work, the Inspector will collect time and material sheets at the end of each day.

All documentation regarding change orders will be maintained, including dates of notification by

services and will not be responsible for tests or observations that are not performed due to failure to schedule our services on the project. Since our personnel will not be at the site on a resident basis, it will be imperative that we be advised when work is in progress. Services should be scheduled a minimum of 48 hours in advance. Scheduling personnel will be on an as-available basis which may require changes in personnel assigned to the project. For instances of short- notice requests, personnel may have to be utilized which have a higher rate than those normally assigned, and this higher cost may be passed on to the client.

All requests for services should be submitted to dispatch at the following phone number: (909) 824-7311 or at [email protected]. Services should not be scheduled through our field personnel.

We recommend the scope of services described in this proposal be provided to the person(s) responsible for scheduling our services, so they are aware of the services that are proposed.

2.3 CMELMS Management System
In order to
provide our clients with real-time field and laboratory data management and reporting, Terracon developed and maintains an automated application that we call CMELMS. The acronym stands for Construction Materials Engineering Laboratory Management System and is utilized by construction materials engineering and testing operations in our offices.

CMELMS is a complete and comprehensive field and laboratory testing data and results management system. Features in the application include accessing and distributing test results and field observation reports by a push of a button.

CMELMS automates the delivery of our testing and inspection information and can be used anywhere with an internet connection or through a wireless device. Data (test results and inspections) can be entered into the application right from the project site so that project managers and engineering staff have real-time access to the field data. Final Client Reports are produced

Based
on our review of the referenced documents referenced above, our estimated cost to perform the proposed scope of services is $61,270.00. A breakdown of our cost is provided in the attached Cost Estimate. The rates included in our cost breakdown have assumed the project IS subject to CA Prevailing Wage Rates. For the purposes of developing this estimate, the quantities were estimated based on our previous experience with similar projects and typical means and methods by contractors/subcontractors in this area.

It should be noted the Client would be billed only for the amount of service provided, i.e. Terracon will not bill for the total budget if the total booked is less than the budget. Please note this is only a budget estimate and not a not-to-exceed price. Many factors, including those out of our control, such as weather a
oft
en we are called to the site, will dictate the final fee for our services. Furthermore, all costs associated with deviations, re-testing and re-inspections of failing items, on-site standby time, overtime, and short notice premiums are not included in our estimated cost.
