A deposit of $1,000 will be required of each candidate submitting a candidate statement. Upon receipt of the final invoice from the Registrar of Voters, the actual cost of each candidate statement will be determined. If the actual cost is less than the deposit amount, the City will refund the difference to the candidate or the candidate’s committee, as applicable. If the actual cost exceeds the deposit amount, the City Clerk’s Office will invoice each candidate for the remaining balance due.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering and Public Works
Prepared by: Luca Zappiello, Principal Civil Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager

SUBJECT:
8th Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Rail Crossing Enhancements CIP 22-33 PSA No. F029 Rev. 1.

RECOMMENDATION:

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

In June 2022, staff submitted a Cycle 6 Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant application to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the 8th Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Rail Crossing Enhancements project (Project). The Project, also referred to as the “8th Street & Harbor Drive BNSF Crossing,” proposes to construct a two-way multiuse path to provide a safe, accessible crossing of the BNSF rail tracks near 8th Street and Harbor Drive for bicyclists and pedestrians. The project will include coordination with a varie ty of stakeholders including BNSF, Naval Base San Diego, San Diego MTS, and CPUC. Exhibit A shows the general area of the project location.

At their December 7, 2022 meeting, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) awarded an ATP grant to the City of National City in the amount of $2,248,000 for the Project.

The $2,248,000 is allocated by project phases as follows:
 Project Approval and Environmental Documents (PA&ED) - $100,000  Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) - $370,000  Right of Way (RW) - $130,000
 Construction (CON) - $1,648,000

During its October and December 2023 meetings, the CTC allocated $100,000 in funding for the PA&ED phase. On June 14, 2024, Caltrans issued a PSA to City staff authorizing the City to proceed with the PA&ED phase in the amount of $100,000, with a required local match of $12,960.

On August 6, 2024, the City Council authorized the Mayor to execute PSA No. F029 under Resolution No. 2024-78 and committed to using Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) funds for Mobility Enhancements, through prior City Council appropriations, to fund the local match.

Page 45 of 493 ends

In January 2026, the City completed the PA&ED phase and submitted an Allocation Request to Caltrans for approval by the CTC, in order to authorize City funding for the Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase, which includes PS&E and RW. In February 2026, the CTC approved the City’s request, authorizing the City to incur PE costs. On April 28, 2026, Local Assistance issued the attached PSA Rev1 to City staff, authorizing the City to proceed with the PE phase in the amount of $500,000, with a required local match of $64,781 ($77,741 minus $12,960). The local match will be funded with Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) funds for Mobility Enhancements, using prior City Council appropriations.

The PE phase is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027. Upon completion of the PE phase, staff will submit a new Allocation Request to Caltrans for the CON phase. Staff will return to City Council after Caltrans releases funding for the CON phase.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

If approved, budget adjustments will be made in the Engineering Department Grants Fund as follows:

Expenditure Account : 296-10-18-18500-7598- 6626296 (new appropriation) – CIP 22 -23:

The scope of work includes, but is not limited to, constructing a new shared-use path with a landscaped buffer; installing new lighting and electrical infrastructure; providing irrigation and landscaping improvements; enhancing drainage; and installing new signage and striping. Additional work includes roadway improvements such as asphalt paving and construction of new curbs and gutters. Exhibit A shows the project location and conceptual plans.

On May 15, 2019, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) approved the project and awarded $5,185,000 for the Construction (CON) phase only, with funding provided through the regional ATP.

Following the project award, staff advanced the PA&ED and PE phases, which were completed in late 2024. On January 21, 2025, staff submitted an Allocation Request to Caltrans for CTC approval in order to authorize City funding for the CON phase. On March 21, 2025, the CTC approved the City’s request, authorizing the City to incur CON costs. On May 29, 2025, Caltrans issued the allocation letter, and on October 9, 2025, they issued the finance letter, wh ich is attached to this report as Exhibit B.

Meeting Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Agreement with County of San Diego to access CAL-ID/RAN.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Entitled , “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City , California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the County of San Diego for California Identification System Remote Access Network Participation for the Period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The State of California Department of Justice maintains an automated system for retaining and identifying fingerprints, palm prints, and photos, known as the California Identification System and Cal-Photo (Cal-ID/RAN). The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is the County’s proprietary agency for San Diego County’s Cal-ID/RAN. San Diego County’s Cal-ID/RAN is governed by the County’s Local Cal-ID/Ran Board (“RAN Board”), established pursuant to Section 11112.4 of the California Penal Code. Cal-ID/RAN provides tenprint, latent fingerprint, palm print, and photo identifications through the use of Local Input Terminals (“LIT’s”).

The National City Police Department operates two “LITs”, one in the Temporary Holding Facility (THF) and the other in the investigations area at the police facility and uses the Cal-ID fingerprint and Cal-Photo system to identify criminal suspects and conduct investigations. The user fee for the Cal-ID for FY27 is $19,160, and has been previously allocated as part of the annual police department budget.

The Cal-ID/RAN is a valuable resource and s erves as a timely investigative aid for identifying criminal suspects and conducting criminal investigations. Access to these systems is important for the Police Department to provide critical safely services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The City’s annual cost for the service is based on its proportional share of the County’s net Cal - ID operational costs. The cost is recalculated annually and assessed to member agencies based on a formula involving population and crime data. The cost to the City for FY27 is $19,160 and has been included in the Police Department’s budget. The estimated total cost over the five years of the agreement is $143,000. Expenditures will be recorded in General Fund account no. 100 - 70-21-21100-7299-, Police Department contract services.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Police Department
Prepared by: Vincent J. Fernando, Lieutenant
Meeting Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Agreement with Needl, Inc. dba Aurelian, a Delaware Corporation (“Aurelian”), to Provide Aurelian AVA (Automated Virtual Assistant) Software to Support the National City Police Department’s Communications Center.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Waiving the Formal Bid Process Pursuant to National City Municipal Code Section 2.60. 110 Regarding Exceptions to Formal Competitive Bidding and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Needl, Inc. dba Aurelian for Automated Virtual Assistant Software in a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $135,000 for the National City Police Department.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

AB 339: Local public employee organizations: notice requirements. This project was presented and discussed with the MEA Union President on June 4, 2026.

EXPLANATION:

The National City Police Communications Center has experienced ongoing staffing shortage s while continuing to provide a high level of service to the community. In 2025, dispatch personnel answered more than 70,000 administrative and non -emergency calls while maintaining a minimum staffing level of two dispatchers on duty at all times. Despite their continued dedication and professionalism, the Communications Center faces persistent challenges, including mandatory overtime, employee burnout, staff turnover, and an extensive training process that requires approximately six months to a year for a new dispatcher to become fully trained. These challenges highlight the need for additional resources to support personnel and maintain service levels.

To identify potential solutions, the police department researched several automated call-handling platforms designed specifically for public safety communications centers. These systems utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time data to assist with answering non-emergency calls, provide automated transcription services, support language translation, and guide callers through scripted questioning based on the nature of the incident.

Three vendors were evaluated:

1. Motorola’s Hyper Non -Emergency Call Agent; offers a five -year contract totaling $282,100.

2. Axon Prepared; offers a five-year contract totaling $414,361.63.

3. Aurelian’s AVA; offers a three-year contract totaling $135,000.

Page 74 of 493 ends

Following a comprehensive review and consultation with dispatch personnel, staff recommends moving forward with Aurelian’s AVA. This option provides the most cost -effective solution while integrating seamlessly with the department’s existing systems without requiring additional hardware purchases. Additionally, a neighboring agency currently utilizes the platform and has reported successful implementation and operation.

Aurelian’s AVA is an AI powered virtual call taker designed to assist the Communications Center by handling routine, non -emergency calls, such as parking complaints, noise complaints, and other low -priority service requests. The system directs callers to the appropriate resources, gathers pertinent information, answers common inquiries, and generates calls for service when appropriate. The platform is fully configurable, allowing the police department to tailor call flows and questioning protocols to align with existing operation procedures.

By managing routine, non -emergency interactions, the system will reduce call volume handled directly by dispatch personnel, allowing dispatchers to remain focused on emergency calls and higher priority incidents that require immediate attention.

It is important to note that this technology is intended to support, not replace, department personnel. Implementation of this system will not result in the reduction or elimination of any authorized positions. The police department will continue to maintain its established staffing requirements and actively recruit to fill all authorized vacancies.

National City Municipal Code Section 2.60.110(B) - Formal bidding procedure --Generally, provides authority for the City Council to waive formal competitive bidding where, among other reasons, competitive bidding is or would be impractical or impossible or the circumstances are such that no obvious, ascertainable advantage to the City could result. Due to the proprietary nature of and unique features in Aurelian’s software, ability to integrate into existing systems in the Communications Center, and Aurelia n being the lowest cost of the quotes obtained by the Police Department, staff is requesting authorization from the City Council to waive the formal bid process pursuant to NCMC Section 2.60.110(B).

Funding from the Security and Alarm Regulation Fund 211 will be used to purchase the Aurelian AVA system. When an alarm is triggered by a business or residence, Alarm Program Systems, LLC will call NCPD communications center, a dispatcher will create a call for service, and an officer will respond. If it is de termined that the call is a false alarm, after specified false alarms, fees will be assessed. Any fees from the false alarm will go into Fund 211, as well as alarm permit fees.

Staff recommends approval of the agreement with Aurelian AVA for the implementation of the AI- assisted virtual call-taking platform at a cost of $135,000 over three years.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Expense Account: 211-70-21-21608-7299-
Year 1: $45,000.00 due on the Order Effective Date
Year 2: $45,000.00 due 12 months after the Order Effective Date Year 3: $45,000.00 due 24 months after the Order Effective Date

The Security and Alarm Regulation Fund 211 will be utilized to acquire Aurelian’s AVA as this is dispatch related equipment designed to support dispatch personnel.

Hyper Non-Emergency Call Agent
Commercial Proposal: National City Police Department (National City, CA) Prepared in collaboration by: Shannon Hickey, Senior Account Manager (Motorola Solutions) and Josh Wright, Founding Account Executive (Hyper, a Motorola Solutions Company)

1. Overview
Public safety agencies deploy Hyper to reduce the burden of non-emergency calls on Call Takers, improve response times, and maintain focus on emergency operations.

Hyper is designed around a conservative, safety-first escalation philosophy where ambiguous, uncertain, or evolving situations can immediately escalate to live Call Takers. The platform is intended to support Call Takers and operational service levels, not replace emergency communications personnel.

The platform uses conversational Voice AI to handle routine, administrative, and non- emergency calls, enabling:
● Reduced non-emergency workload for Call Takers
● Improved answer speed and queue availability
● Repurposed staff time toward priority and emergency response ● Consistent, trackable interactions with the public
National City manages a high volume of non-emergency and low-priority calls. Hyper provides a practical, low-risk approach to reduce this demand while protecting emergency response capacity.

Core Capabilities
● Conversational Voice AI for non-emergency call handling ● Intelligent triage, routing, and escalation to live Call Takers ● Multilingual conversational support
● Jurisdictional address validation and branched logic
● Configurable workflows aligned to agency SOPs
● Emergency detection based on caller context, immediate escalation a live Call Taker ● SMS follow-ups (e.g., online reporting links, resources) ● Structured data capture, transcripts, and call summaries ● Analytics dashboards and call categorization insights

Page 87 of 493 ends

2. Contracted Call Volume Capacity
Annual Inbound Non-Emergency Call Volume: 71,000 calls / year

3. Commercial Structure
Year 1 (Ramp & Deployment Phase)
Aligned to a 30-60 day implementation timeline and phased rollout.

Component Description Investment
Hyper Platform Subscription Up to 59,000 calls (10/12 prorated volume) $41,300 Annual Solution Engineering
Services
Workflow configuration, prompt optimization,
reporting review, and ongoing solution support
$7,400
3rd Party CAD Integration Scoping and Interface Design for API integration with Tyler Technologies CAD (One-Time Fee)
$5,000
Total Year 1 Investment $53,700
Years 2–5 (Steady State)
Component Description Investment
Hyper Platform Subscription Up to 71,000 calls annually $49,700 Annual Solution Engineering
Services
Workflow configuration, prompt optimization,
reporting review, and ongoing solution support
$7,400
Total Annual Investment $57,100
Total Contract Value (5-Year Term)
Year Investment
Year 1 (Ramp) $53,700
Year 2 $57,100
Year 3 $57,100
Year 4 $57,100
Year 5 $57,100
Total (5-Year Term) $282,100

Page 88 of 493 ends

4. Pricing Notes
● Proposed term: five (5) years, billed annually in advance ● Year 1 includes ramp period (10/12 prorated volume)
● Fixed annual subscription aligned to expected call volume ● No variable usage-based billing within contracted annual call volumes ● Pricing discounted and protected for full term
● Pricing includes annual call volumes up to the contracted limits defined in this proposal.

Volumes materially exceeding contracted thresholds may require commercial review and adjustment.

A multi-year structure aligns with how operational impact is realized over time. Initial deployment focuses on a defined set of workflows, with measurable gains in the first year. Continued value is driven through expansion, optimization, and deeper system integration.

5. Deployment Approach
● Target deployment: 30-60 days
● Minimal IT lift: DID routing and SSO recommended
● Phased rollout aligned to priority call types
Important:

Hyper can operate as a standalone cloud-based solution without requiring inbound network connections, VPN access, or direct integration into core call handling systems for initial deployment. For example, Hyper can be deployed immediately without CAD integration by focusing on non-dispatchable call types, enabling rapid operational value while future integrations are evaluated or scoped in parallel.

Hyper supports both full-scale deployments and phased deployment approaches, including separately scoped Proof of Value engagements or different term structures where appropriate.

This approach provides a low-risk entry point, allowing the National City team to validate impact quickly before expanding coverage across additional workflows.

6. Integrations
Hyper Non-Emergency Call Agent is designed to align with existing agency workflows while maintaining flexibility across diverse public safety environments.

Page 89 of 493 ends

Current Environment
● CAD: Tyler Technologies (based on information available during proposal development; subject to validation during project kickoff)
Immediate Deployment (No Integration Required)
Hyper can be deployed immediately without requiring CAD or core call handling integration by focusing on non-dispatchable and informational call types, including:
● Non-dispatchable call handling
● Call routing and transfers
● Informational requests
● Information capture and SMS follow-up
Hyper is designed to escalate uncertain, ambiguous, or emergency-related interactions to live Call Takers based on configurable operational thresholds. 3rd Party CAD Integration Options
Based on the currently understood environment, integration with Tyler Technologies CAD can be evaluated and scoped by the Motorola Interface Design team. Final integration approach remains subject to confirmation of the agency's production environment, available APIs, and technical requirements.

The purpose of integration with CAD systems is to automate:
● Creation of incidents and calls for service within CAD workflows ● Structured data capture from automated interactions
● Improved workflow continuity between Hyper and Call Takers ● Expanded automation opportunities aligned to agency operational requirements Call Handling Integration (Roadmap)
Deeper call-handling integration capabilities may be evaluated as part of the broader Motorola roadmap and are not required for initial deployment.

Hyper can be deployed immediately using existing telephony routing methods, including Direct Inward Dial (DID) routing.

Planned future integration capabilities may include:
● Enhanced routing and transfer logic
● Expanded transfer context for Call Takers
● Deeper workflow continuity between automated and live interactions

Page 90 of 493 ends

7. Sample Operational Impact
Based on approximately 71,000 annual non-emergency calls at an estimated average handling time of 6 minutes per interaction, the agency currently manages roughly 7,100+ annual staff hours related to non-emergency call volume.

As Hyper is expanded across additional workflows and call categories over time, agencies may achieve long-term automation and resolution rates between 60% and 75% for appropriate non- emergency interactions, with performance typically improving as workflows expand, prompts are refined, and integrations mature.

This could represent:
● Approximately 42,000-53,000 calls annually handled or resolved through Hyper ● Approximately 4,200-5,300 staff hours repurposed annually ● Reduced queue pressure and improved availability for emergency and priority calls ● Meaningful operational capacity gains without requiring equivalent staffing growth

8. Implementation & Onboarding Services
The following implementation, onboarding, and support services are included as part of this engagement during the initial deployment period.

Included Implementation & Onboarding Services
● Tenant configuration and environment setup
● Deployment planning and implementation coordination
● Testing, quality assurance, and deployment support
● Supervisor and administrator training
● Reporting configuration and analytics enablement
● Data storage and standard analytics access
● Integration scoping and coordination, where applicable ● Ongoing optimization and Customer Success support during rollout Ongoing workflow configuration guidance, prompt refinement, and operational support are included throughout the term of the agreement within the standard scope of the deployment.

Initial implementation and launch activities are expected to prioritize approximately twenty (20) call types and workflows to enable rapid deployment, operational validation, and measurable early impact.

Page 91 of 493 ends

Hyper will work collaboratively with the National City team to continuously expand, refine, and optimize workflows over time while enabling supervisors and administrators to independently manage and maintain workflows without long-term reliance on Hyper resources.

Scope of Included Services
This proposal includes:
● One Hyper production tenant
● Ongoing workflow refinement, prompt optimization, and operational support within the standard scope of the engagement
● English, Spanish, and French language deployment
● Deployment aligned to existing DID routing
● Supervisor and administrator training, workflow management enablement, and knowledge transfer to support long-term operational independence ● Standard implementation and onboarding services
● Standard analytics and reporting access
● Ongoing technical and Customer Success support
Implementation is designed to minimize operational and IT burden while enabling rapid time-to- value through a phased deployment approach aligned to agency priorities and approved workflows.

Additional workflows, integrations, languages, custom development, or professional services outside the defined scope may require separate scoping and commercial review.

Exclusions
Unless otherwise stated, this proposal does not include:
● Third-party API or licensing fees associated with external systems ● Custom development outside standard implementation scope ● Dedicated on-premise infrastructure
● Custom integrations requiring separate engineering scope Any services requested outside the defined implementation and support scope may be delivered on a time-and-materials basis at a rate of $250 per hour, subject to prior written approval by both parties.

9. Data Ownership & Security
● All call data, recordings, transcripts, and metadata are owned by National City ● Hyper does not use customer data to train AI models

Page 92 of 493 ends

● Hyper provides transparency into call handling decisions and workflow logic ● Data is securely stored with enterprise-grade encryption (in transit and at rest) ● SOC 2 Type II compliant
● Standard data retention is 5 years, configurable during implementation

10. Billing & Terms
● Annual subscription invoicing can be aligned to National City fiscal year requirements where needed, including prorated billing aligned to implementation timing ● Multi-year agreements are billed annually in advance
● Payment terms: Net 30 (or aligned to agency requirements, TBD) This quote is valid through June 30, 2026, and is contingent upon:
● the defined scope
● stated call volumes
● standard deployment assumptions
● mutually executed agreement terms

Final Scope & Agreement
Final deliverables, implementation scope, support obligations, and commercial terms will be governed by the executed agreement between the parties.

WHEREAS, the National City Police Department’s Communications Center has experienced ongoing staffing shortages while continuing to provide a high level of service to the community; and

WHEREAS, in 2025, dispatch personnel answered more than 70,000 administrative and non-emergency calls while maintaining a minimum staffing level of two dispatchers on duty at all times and, despite their continued dedication and professionalism, the Communications Center faces persistent challenges, including mandatory overtime, employee burnout, staff turnover, and an extensive training process that requires approximately six months to a year to fully train a new dispatcher; and

WHEREAS, in an effort to assist dispatch personnel and continue to provide critical dispatch services to the community, the Police Department researched several automated call - handling platforms designed specifically for public safety communications centers, systems that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time data to assist with answering non-emergency calls, provide automated transcription services, support language translation, and guide callers through scripted questioning based on the nature of the incident; and

WHEREAS, after evaluating various automated call -handling platforms and obtaining quotes from vendors , t he Police Department recommends entering into a three (3) year agreement with Needl, Inc. dba Aurelian (“Aurelian”) at a cost not to exceed $135,000 for use of Aurelian’s standard hosting software service, which includes call routing, call automation services, web chat, and assistive call-taking software; and

WHEREAS, Section 2.60.110(B) of the National City Municipal Code allows the City Council to waive formal competitive bidding requirements when, among other reasons, competitive bidding is or would be impractical or impossible or the circumstances are such that no obvious, ascertainable advantage to the City could result, and such a determination has been made in this case, therefore, it is recommended that the purchase be made without complying with the competitive bidding procedure set forth in the Municipal Code; and

WHEREAS, National City’s Purchasing staff has confirmed that, due to the proprietary nature of and unique features in Aurelian’s software, compatibility with existing systems in the Communications Center, and the results of the quotes obtained by the Police Department , competitive bidding would be impractical or impossible and ther e is no obvious, ascertainable advantage from such bidding; and

WHEREAS, City staff recommends adoption of the resolution as stated.

Page 95 of 493 ends

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: That the City Council hereby authorizes waiving the formal bid process pursuant to National City Municipal Code Section 2.60. 110(B) regarding exceptions to formal competitive bidding requirements and authorizes the City Manager to execute an agreement and all necessary supporting documents with Needl, Inc. dba Aurelian for automated virtual assistant software and services in a not-to-exceed amount of $135,000 for the Police Department.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

In 2011, the City of National City and the Boys and Girls Club ("BAGC") entered into a 20 -year lease agreement for use of the City -owned land and building located at 1430 "D" Avenue. The lease was established for the purposes of maintaining a clubhouse and promoting the physical, mental, and moral well-being of the youth of National City and its immediate vicinity. The BAGC pays one dollar per year for rent.

According to section six of the 20-year lease agreement with the City, any subletting requires the City's prior written consent. In 2014, the City Council authorized the Second Amendment, allowing the BAGC to sublet the City-owned property at 1430 "D" Avenue to Integrity Charter School and Episcopal Community Services to help offset operating costs. In 2017, the City Council authorized the Third Amendment, allowing a new sublease between BAGC and Integrity for a five-year term with a two-year extension option.

The proposed amendment would approve a new sublease between the BAGC and the Neighborhood House Association (NHA) to operate the National City Head Start Program for a three-year term. NHA has committed to providing Head Start enrollment preference to the children or families of BAGC Club Members to the maximum extent allowed by its federal grants. NHA's approved hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with occasional evening or weekend use allowed for parent and staff meetings.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

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 PlanetBi ds where over 400 firms were notified. Additionally, the City hosted an Information 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 for on-call support services was solicited in the Summer of 2025 and the Department received 63 SOQs from various firms by the September 17, 2025 deadline.

Page 106 of 493 ends

Staff is requesting to increase some of the not -to-exceed amounts and extend previously amended Agreements to December 31, 2026, to allow consultants to provide a continuation of services for the City’s CIP, as well as to provide staff sufficient time to continue with the ongoing SOQ selection process.

Therefore, based on performance and quality of work of each consultant, expiring agreements, and to ensure timely completion of CIP projects, staff recommends execution of the following amendments:
