EXPLANATION:

The Engineering & Public Works Department advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering, architectural and construction support services, housing and real estate development services, and environmental compliance services on May 1, 2019.

The RFQ was advertised on the City’s website, published in the San Diego Union Tribune, e - mailed to over 100 professional consulting firms and also advertised on PlanetBids where over 400 firms were notified. Additionally, the City hosted an Infor mation Session regarding the RFQ process on May 14, 2019 at the MLK Jr. Community Center to encourage local participation, which was attended by over 100 people. The Department received 71 Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) from various firms by the June 10, 2019 deadline.

Based on the strength of their SOQs, interviews and past performance, the City of National City entered into Agreements with several consultants to provide on-call support services for National City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The original Agreements were all for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000 and a term of three years, with the option to extend for two one -year extensions.

A new RFQ was solicited and closed end of September 2025 and staff is requesting to extend terms beyond the initial Agreements by one year to allow current consultants to provide a continuation of services for the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), as well as provide staff

Page 99 of 860 ends

with time to review the Statement of Qualifications submitted, evaluate, and interview, if needed, potential firms. There is no request for additional spending authority.

Therefore, based on consultant’s performances and quality of work, expiring agreements, ongoing evaluation of RFQ submittals, increased staffing demands, and to ensure timely completion of CIPs, if approved tonight, action would authorize the City to execute:

SUBJECT:

Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” in Front of 102 E. 16th Street to Improve Visibility

RECOMMENDATION:

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

At their meeting on October 8, 2025, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved staff’s recommendation for the installation of Red Curb “No Parking” in front of 102 E 16th Street in order to enhance safety and visibility for drivers when exiting the driveway onto E 16th Street.

EXPLANATION:

Michael Estela, outgoing president of the PASACAT Board of Directors, has requested the installation of red curb “No Parking” in front of 102 E 16th Street, adjacent to the driveway, to enhance safety and visibility for drivers exiting the PASCAT Center driveway. Mr. Estela stated that he has witnessed accidents due to high speeds on E 16th Street and visibility constra ints when vehicles are parked too close to the PASCAT parking area driveway. Mr. Estela stated that adding a red curb west of the driveway will enhance safety and visibility.

Staff performed a site evaluation. The posted speed limit for E 16th Street is 30 mph. Staff confirmed that the PASCAT Center has one driveway on E 16th Street. Staff agrees that additional red curb is warranted to potentially enhance safety and visibility exiting the driveway based on vehicle speeds along E 16th Street. Mr. Estela is aware that additional red curb will result in some loss of on-street parking.

This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee on October 8, 2025. Staff sent notices to the residents inviting them to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or to contact staff with any questions. Mr. Estela was in attendance to speak on this item.

Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee, and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendation to install 30 feet of red curb “No Parking” in front of 102 E 16th Street, adjacent to the driveway. This will allow for three on-street parking spaces to remain between the end of the proposed red curb and the commercial driveway to the west.

If approved by the City Council, all work will be performed by Engineering & Public Works staff.

Page 170 of 860 ends

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The estimated cost to install the red curb is approximately $300. Funding is available within the Engineering & Public Works’ Street & Wastewater Division maintenance and operations budget.

Street parking is currently open parking and is frequently occupied by vehicles in various states of disrepair, which is occupied by our neighbor’s auto repair business. To the west lies the lowest point of E 16th Street, which further inhibits traffic visibility when exiting our property.

To minimize risk to our parents, staff, and patrons, we are requesting that a 20-foot length of the curb in front of the PASACAT building be painted red. This measure will enhance the visibility of individuals exiting our parking area, thereby creating a safer environment for our patrons.

EXPLANATION:

Dora Parker, a local resident, has requested the installation of red curb "No Parking" signs at the intersection of Virginia Drive and E. 28th Street to improve visibility for vehicles exiting Virginia Drive onto 28th Street. Mrs. Parker stated that cars p arked on the north side of E. 28th Street, near the intersection with Virginia Drive, creat e a blind spot for oncoming traffic. She also mentioned that when vehicles are parked in this location, she is often forced to turn into oncoming traffic to avoid them.

Staff conducted a site evaluation of the intersection at Virginia Drive and E. 28th Street. Currently, both roadways are 2 -lane streets with parking available on both sides. The intersection is a “T” intersection and is currently uncontrolled. Staff confirmed that there is no red curb present at this intersection. During the evaluation, staf f assessed the line of sight for vehicles trying to exit Virginia Drive onto E. 28th Street. They found that it could be challenging for drivers to see oncoming traffic when vehicles are parked too close to the intersection. Additionally, staff noted that the nearby intersection of M Avenue and E. 28th Street is also an uncontrolled “T” intersection. Based on these observations, staff recommends the installation of a Stop Control sign at the “T” intersection mentioned above. This requires vehicles coming fr om Virginia Drive and M Avenue to come to a complete stop before attempting to enter E. 28th Street, which has the right of way.

Based on evaluation of existing conditions, staff recommends the following safety enhancements:

 Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the north side of E. 28th Street, west of Virginia Drive. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

 Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the north side of E. 28th Street, east of Virginia Drive to comply with daylighting laws. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;  Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the south side of E. 28th Street, west of M Avenue to comply with daylighting laws. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;  Install one Stop control sign and Stop legend on Virginia Drive on the north side of E. 28th Street;
 Install one Stop control sign and Stop legend on M Avenue on the south side of E. 28th Street;  Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on Virginia Drive on the north side of E. 28th Street.

This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parallel parking space;  Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on M Avenue on the south side of E. 28 th Street. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street angle parking space;  Install 50 feet of double-yellow centerline on Virginia Drive on the north side of 28th Street;  Install 50 feet of double-yellow centerline on M Avenue on the south side of E. 28th Street.

This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) on October 8, 2025. Staff sent a notice to the applicant and nearby residents, inviting them to the TSC Meeting and encouraging them to contact staff with any questions. The applicant and other area residents attended the meeting to support this item.

Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendations.

If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works staff.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The estimated cost to install the proposed enhancements is approximately $ 1,000. Funding is available within the Engineering & Public Works’ Streets & Wastewater division maintenance and operations budget.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering & Public Works
Prepared by: Luca Zappiello, Principal Civil Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Approved by: Alejandro Hernandez, Acting City Manager

SUBJECT:

Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at Two Storm Drain Inlets at the Intersection of E. 22nd Street and B Avenue to Prevent Vehicles from Blocking Access to the Storm Drain Inlets.

RECOMMENDATION:

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

At their meeting on November 12, 2025, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at two storm drain inlets at the intersection of E. 22nd Street and B Avenue to prevent vehicles from blocking access to the storm drain inlets.

EXPLANATION:

Residents in the area requested that the staff assess the runoff conditions between 18th Street, 22nd Street, National City Blvd, and D Avenue. This evaluation was ne eded to reduce the perceived flooding risks for vehicles and properties located near the low points as observed during heavy storm events. Additionally, residents have asked for the installation of red curb markings to indicate no parking in the vicinity o f existing curb openings. This measure will help prevent parked vehicles from obstructing the inlets and grates, which could limit their ability to efficiently convey water to the storm drain system.

Staff conducted a site evaluation of the intersection at E. 22nd and B Avenue and determined that there is a need for red curb “No Parking” in the area immediately adjacent to the storm drain inlets.

The storm drain system is an important component of the city’s stormwater management system, as it allows runoff to enter the underground drainage network, reducing the potential for localized flooding and preventing water accumulation on streets. When vehicles are parked directly in front of or over a storm drain inlet, it can cause significant operational issues at they can obstruct the flow of water. For this reason, staff recommends the installation of red curbs "No Parking" as a measure to enhance the performance of the stormwater system. Additionally, staff is working on further enhancements to address flooding concerns from the area residents.

Based on evaluation of existing conditions, staff recommends the following enhancements:

 Install 40 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the north side of E. 22 nd Street, west of B Avenue. This will result in the loss of two (2) on-street parking space;  Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the south side of E. 22 nd Street. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

Page 192 of 860 ends

 Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the west side of B Avenue, north of E. 22 nd Street to comply with Daylighting laws. This will result in the loss of one (1) on -street parking space.

This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) on November 12, 2025. Staff sent a notice to the applicant and nearby residents, inviting them to the TSC Meeting and encouraging them to contact staff with any questions. Several area residents attended the meeting to support this item.

Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendations.

If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works staff.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The estimated cost to install the proposed enhancements is approximately $ 500. Funding is available within the Engineering & Public Works’ Streets & Wastewater Division maintenance and operations budget.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Fire Department
Prepared by: Scott Robinson, Battalion Chief
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Approved by: Alejandro Hernandez, Acting City Manager

SUBJECT:

New Full-Time Equivalent Position of Fire Battalion Chief

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Adding 1.0 FTE to the Fire Department’s Authorized Position Count for a New Full-Time Position of Fire Battalion Chief and Authorizing an Increase of $188,000 to the Fir e Department’s Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Personnel Budget.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

On November 18, 2025, the City Council accepted the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Transportation & Optimization Study conducted by AP Triton and adopted a resolution directing staff to pursue development of a Municipal Ambulance Transport System.

To align with this Council direction, the National City Fire Department is requesting the addition of one full-time equivalent (“FTE”) Fire Battalion Chief to lead the development, coordination, and management of an in -house Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) Program. The Fire Battalion Chief will be responsible for preparing a comprehensive implementation plan outlining the proposed operational, financial, and administrative components of the GEMT Program.

This work will include establishing explicit implementation benchmarks and deliverables such as:

 Development of a complete budget for program build-out, operational start-up  Creation of the GEMT enterprise account
 Preparing revenue and expense projections
 Identification and securing of adequate funding
 Procurement of necessary durable equipment, including ambulances and all needed items for operational effectiveness

The complete proposal, including program design and implementation milestones, will be presented to the City Council at an upcoming Council meeting, no later than February 2026.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The Financial Impact to the City consists of the cost for one Full -Time Equivalent (FTE) Fire Battalion Chief for the remainder of FY 2026, estimated at approximately $188,000. General Fund appropriations of $188,000 are requested to fund the position for the remainder of the FY 2026.

Page 203 of 860 ends

This will be offset by $300,000 received from the dissolution of the Regional Cooperative Care Program (RCCP).

Contingent upon City Council approval of th e in-house Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) Program, ongoing funding for this position will transition to a GEMT enterprise account supported by program -generated revenues. If the GEMT Program is not approved by the City Council, the position will be left unfilled and the employee temporarily assigned to this role will revert to their previously held rank.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Police Department
Prepared by: Ron Gutlay, Management Analyst II
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Approved by: Alejandro Hernandez, Acting City Manager

SUBJECT:

Request for approval of additional funding appropriation for the purchase and buildout of a Lenco Bearcat Armored Vehicle.

RECOMMENDATION:

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

In 2023, the National City Police Department was awarded $446,011.37 from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant to purchase a new Lenco Bearcat Armored Vehicle (the “Bearcat”).

At the time of approval, NCPD was the only law enforcement agency within San Diego County to not have this piece of valuable public safety equipment. Under the leadership of then Chief Jose Tellez, the County Chiefs of Police and the Sheriff approved the allocation of FY24 UASI funds for this purchase. The Bearcat is the standard law enforcement armored vehicle platform within San Diego County.

Due to inflation, current sales tax, and the necessity of a performance bond, the updated cost for the Bearcat is now $532,190.71. Per Resolution No. 2025-80, Council previously authorized the use of the FY24 UASI funds , including the appropriation in the amount of $446,011.37 for the Bearcat purchase. The National City Police Department will use Asset Forfeiture Funds to pay the remaining shortfall of $86,179.71.
