The high collision corridor countermeasures presented in the previous chapter were reviewed to identify high priority projects to pursue grant funding for. The following factors were reviewed and considered:
• Severe/fatal injury collisions
• High frequency collision intersections and segments
• Future planned improvements
• Project location and surrounding land uses
Consistent with HSIP grant requirements a total of three countermeasures were selected for grouping into a project, including:
• S17PB: Install pedestrian countdown signal heads
• S20PB: Install advance stop bar before crosswalk (Bicycle Box) • S21PB: Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) S17PB Install pedestrian countdown signal heads
Countermeasure S17PB consists of installing pedestrian countdown signal heads, which contain a timer display and countdown the number of seconds left to finish crossing the street. They can reassure pedestrians of the time remaining to safely cross. These signals have been shown to encourage more pedestrians to use the pushbutton rather than jaywalk. The Crass Reduction Factor for this countermeasure is 25% for pedestrian and bicycle crashes.

S20PB: Install advance stop bar before crosswalk (Bicycle Box) Countermeasure S20PB provides the opportunity to enhance both pedestrian and bicycle safety by adding an advance stop bar before the marked crosswalk. This provides a buffer between the vehicles and the crossing pedestrians. This countermeasure may also be used to apply a bicycle box. The Crass Reduction Factor for this countermeasure is 15% for pedestrian and bicycle crashes.

S21PB: Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) Countermeasure S21PB gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter an intersection 3-7 seconds before vehicles are given a green indication. Lead Pedestrian Intervals (LPI) provide (1) increased visibility of crossing pedestrians; (2) reduced conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles; (3) increased likelihood of motorists yielding to pedestrians; and (4) enhanced safety for pedestrians who may be slower to start into the intersection. The Crass Reduction Factor for this countermeasure is 60% for pedestrian and bicycle crashes.

Instead of limiting countermeasures to individual high collision corridors, a systemic approach was utilized, selecting eight intersections across multiple corridors. This process was intended to

3 1. Purpose of the Addendum
This Addendum amends the City of National City Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) / Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) dated February 2021. Since the completion of the SSARP / LRSP, the City has determined the need for additional context to clarify the plan development process, improve accountability, recommend safety policy and process changes, and identify the process for ongoing monitoring and reporting. All other elements of the original document remain unchanged.

2. Community Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement
This section of the addendum provides an update on community outreach and engagement that was described in the Stakeholder Coordination subsection of Chapter 1: Introduction.

Through the process of developing the SSARP / LRSP, the City identified the need for more robust community outreach and engagement on the topic of safety. The City recently applied for and was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Planning Grant to plan and implement Safe Routes to School projects within the City. The scope of work includes significant community outreach and engagement, including soliciting feedback about safety issues from the district superintendent, traffic operations staff, school principals, crossing guards, and the general public. The project is scheduled to begin in 2024 and is expected to be completed by 2027.

In addition to these upcoming outreach efforts, the City works closely with local law enforcement and school staff on an ongoing basis to identify safety issues. City Council commits between $100,000 and $200,000 annually from the General Fund to support outreach to all 10 elementary schools. Outreach activities include safety trainings, walk/bike to school events, neighborhood walk audits, and the development of educational brochures and videos on the City website.

3. Equity Considerations
This section of the addendum provides additional equity data for City staff to consider for project programming. The new equity data is intended to be used in conjunction with the prioritization factors and cost benefit analysis results that were described in Chapter 6: Prioritized Safety Project Scope & Crash Reduction Factors.

The analysis was conducted using the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), a tool used to score census tracts in the state of California on a system of metrics used to identify disadvantaged communities. The metrics used are indicators of burdens that disadvantaged communities face related to climate change, the environment, health, and economic opportunity.

4 Twelve (12) census tracts out of fourteen (14) are identified as disadvantaged communities in the City of National City, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Climate and Economic Justice Census Tracts – Disadvantaged

5 Figure 2 shows the location of low-income census tracts. Eleven (11) out of fourteen (14) tracts are low-income.

Figure 2: Climate and Economic Justice Census Tracts – Low Income

6 3.1 Race/Ethnicity
The population of National City is composed of 55,550, according to the US Census Bureau.

Table 1 list the population of National City by race/ethnicity. The City is predominately Hispanic or Latino (64.9%) followed by Asian (17.1%), and White (10.1%).

Table 1 - National City Population by Race/Ethnicity
Race/Ethnicity Number of People by

Asian 9,499.1 17.1%
White 5,610.6 10.1%
Black or African American 2,444.2 4.4%
Other 1,944.3 3.5%

3.2 Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)

3.2.1 Data
Equity analysis provides a tool to ensure specific needs are met in underserved communities.

CEJST 2016-2021 data set was utilized to identify low-income census tracts, disadvantaged census tracts, and census tracts with threshold criteria exceeded. Census tracts with threshold criteria exceeded are for associated socioeconomic, environmental, climate, or other burdens.

Each category was analyzed with REPLICA. REPLICA is a tool used to access traffic datasets for specific geographies. The available dataset represents the population and its travel pattern for National City.

REPLICA data for Spring 2023 was used to determine network link volumes derived from Replica’s seasonal model which provides volume for a typical weekday. Metrics used in the network link volume include choice of mode, trip distance, trip purpose, and vehicle details. The dataset uses information about trips at the network link level. The volume data shows that the top five (5) roadway segments with the highest trip counts include: 8th Street, East Plaza Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Division Street, and Sweetwater Road.

7 3.2.2 Analysis
The analysis was conducted using REPLICA data and CEJST. Both datasets were used to compare roadway volume to low-income census tracts. CEJST census tracts with thresholds criteria exceeded contain roadways with high roadway volume that occurred in census tracts with 2-10 burdens as shown in Figure 3. Within the city, about 84% of the population is in lowincome tracts.

Figure 3: National City Climate and Economic Justice Census Tracts

8 Additional analysis was done for primary mode of travel in National City. Table 2 provides a summary of the percentage of primary modes of travel in National City’s roadway network. The highest recorded primary mode of transportation in National City is private auto at 63.3%, followed by auto passenger at 21.0% and walking at 11.8%.

Table 2 - Primary Mode
Primary Mode Percentage
Private Auto 63.3 %
Auto Passenger 21.0 %
Walking 11.8 %
Biking 1.32 %
Public Transit 1.13 %
Other 1.11 %
Taxi/TNC .33 %
Figure 4 indicates that most trips are between 2 miles to 16 miles. It is important to note the distance of these trips to see what other modes of travel people can adopt. By providing more connectivity throughout the city it can eliminate car trips, and implement trips for walking, biking, and transit.

Figure 4: Trip Distance

9 3.2.3 Equitable Implementation
The Local Roadway Safety Plan identified seven High Collision Corridors:
• Euclid Avenue, from Beta Street to 18th Street
• Highland Avenue, from Division Street to SR-54 EB Ramps • Plaza Boulevard / Paradise Valley Road, from Coolidge Avenue to E Plaza Boulevard • 8
th Street, from Harbor Drive to Paradise Valley Road / Plaza Boulevard • 16th Street, from Wilson Avenue to Rachel Avenue
• 18th Street, from Wilson Avenue to Rachel Avenue
• 30th Street / Sweetwater Road, from Hoover Avenue to Plaza Bonita Center Way Equitable implementation of safety countermeasures would prioritize high collision corridors within disadvantaged communities, low income communities, and environmental justice communities to improve safety and air quality for the most vulnerable populations. Figure 5 shows the High Collision Corridors overlaid with disadvantaged communities. Each corridor is located at least partially within disadvantaged census tracts. All corridors except the Euclid Avenue and 30th Street corridors are located entirely within disadvantaged communities.

Figure 5: High Collision Corridors and Climate and Economic Justice Census Tracts

10 Figure 6 shows the High Collision Corridors overlaid with the Justice 40 low-income census tracts, meaning that the census tract is considered low income and has at least one more environmental, climate, or other socioeconomic burden. The 8 th Street, Plaza Boulevard,
Highland Avenue, 18th Street corridors are located entirely within Justice 40 low income tracts.

4. Policy and Process Changes
This section of the addendum builds upon Appendix A: Best Practices and Document Review, which provided a summary of current policies and planning documents related to safety, by providing specific recommendations to enhance internal work flows and procedural guidelines with current safety best practices.

Existing plans, policies, and projects that were recently completed, planned, or ongoing were compiled as part of the LRSP process to gain perspective on the existing efforts for transportation-related improvements within the City. High-level key points regarding transportation improvements and safety-related topics were identified to inform decision-making in the LRSP.

11 Table 3 outlines the relevant existing City plans, Table 4 outlines the relevant proposed city projects, and Table 5 outlines relevant existing and future City transportation projects, pedestrian projects, and traffic calming and safety projects found in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and their respective timeline.

Table 6 identifies existing policies that may impact the safety analysis process and identifies recommendations where the City could enhance or adopt non-infrastructure safety countermeasures.

COMMITTEES / ROLES
Does the City
have an Active
Transportation
Coordinator?
The Director of Public Works /
City Engineer has been serving
this role, but there is no formal
title.

The City could formally adopt this
role into the job description for City
Engineer.

Does the City
have a Safety or
Active Advisory
Committee?
The City has a Traffic Safety
Committee comprised of 5
volunteer residents (appointed
by City Council) of the
community and engineering
department staff as liaison.

The role of the Traffic Safety
Committee could be expanded to
provide more oversight
responsibility for the implementation
of safety initiatives such as the
Local Road Safety Plan. The
committee could work with City
Council and City Staff to provide
informed recommendations for
project advancements and reporting
on plan progress.

Does the City
have an Active
Transportation
Safety Education
Program?
City provides safety information
through their website and
educational brochures.

Coordination with elementary
schools through neighborhood
walk audits. Police department
does occasional outreach as
well. The City does not currently
maintain a formal policy or
documentation of these
activities.

This program could be more
formally documented and
established as an ongoing line item
in the City budget to ensure
continuity.

POLICY / PLANS
Does the City
have a Complete
Streets Plan?
The City’s General Plan
Circulation Element has a
Complete Streets section.

The City has completed many of the
easier complete street projects.

Further expansion of the complete
streets system will require
compromises to parking or travel
lanes. The City could include an
initiative in upcoming planning
efforts to provide outreach and
education on the potential benefits
of complete streets efforts that could
outweigh the impact of lost /
relocated parking or travel lanes.

16 Safety Topic Initiatives/ Current Status Recommendations for Enhancement
Does the City
assess Traffic
Impact Fees?
Transportation Development
Impact Fee (TDIF)
The City can include potential
roadway safety impacts in the nexus
study for a new project to be
included for impact fee funding
Does the City
have a Safe
Routes to School
program?
Yes The City can continue to implement
safe routes to school projects and
work with schools to monitor the
system for additional needs after the
existing identified projects are
complete
Does the City
implement Traffic
Calming
Policies?
The City utilizes best practices
for traffic calming through CIP.

Generally don't implement
speed bumps, but may add
speed cushions to address a
need. Ad-hoc traffic calming
requests would be presented to
the TSC to approve or deny.

There is no existing City
guideline for implementation of
traffic calming or systematic
review of the need - it is all ad
hoc. They typically reference
guidelines published by
neighboring municipalities or
published federal guidance.

The City could formalize the best
practices standards it currently uses
for traffic calming decisions to better
and more consistently justify
improvements that are made or not
made subsequent to neighborhood
requests. The City may also
consider developing its own Traffic
Calming Policy and decision matrix.

Does the City
regularly conduct
Speed Surveys?
Yes Monitor updated guidance on AB43
implementation to provide more
flexibility to setting local speed
limits.

Does the City
utilize Warrants
for Stop Signs
and Signals?
Yes, they follow CA MUTCD
warrant analysis
The City can continue to rely on the
latest CA-MUTCD traffic control
standards.

Does the City
have
Transportation
Demand
Management
(TDM) or Vehicle
Miles Travelled
(VMT) Reduction
policies?
Newly adopted Climate Action
Plan (CAP) and also circulation
element update would include
references to VMT and
compliance with SB 743. They
use the SANTEC/ITE guidelines
for VMT usage in TIAs. The city
does not have formal
requirements for TDM.

City could consider developing its
own SB743 VMT analysis
procedures and thresholds. The City
could also include travel demand
management strategies in its
mitigation toolbox where
appropriate.

Does the City
perform regular
Traffic Crash
Monitoring?
No formal policy that requires a
citywide systematic review on a
yearly basis. The police
department keeps crash records
The City could conduct annual or biannual screening of crash data to track changing patterns and trends
and to monitor which safety

Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) Validation
September 30, 2026
Prepared For:

City of National City
Prepared By:

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 2 1. Purpose of the Addendum
This Addendum amends the City of National City Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) / Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) dated February 2021 and the Addendum to the City of National City SSARP / LSRP dated April 2024.

This addendum validates the City’s safety action plan by:
• Providing updated crash data analysis, using the five most recent years of finalized crash data (2019-2023),
• Monitoring current road safety trends in the City and comparing road safety trends reported in 2021 LRSP with updated crash data analysis, • Providing an update on countermeasures implemented in National City over the past five years, including countermeasures recommended in the 2021 LRSP.

Together, the three National City plans form the City’s safety action plan. The plan will maintain the City’s road safety grant funding eligibility and provides a guiding framework for road safety countermeasure implementation.

2. Data Analysis Techniques
As noted in the National City SSARP/LRSP (2021), the vision of National City is to “improve multimodal safety across National City by reducing fatalities and serious injuries through traditional and innovative infrastructure, striping, and operational enhancements.”
Through the development of this LRSP addendum, the City will continue its commitment to reducing fatalities and serious injuries on its roadways, with an updated crash analysis and an updated summary of countermeasures implemented in the City.

Guidance on the LRSP process is provided at both the national (FHWA) and state (Caltrans) level, and both agencies have developed a general framework of data and recommendations for a LRSP.

FHWA encourages the following:
• Establish a working group (stakeholders) to participate in developing an LRSP • Review crash, traffic, and roadway data to identify areas of concern • Identify goals, priorities, and countermeasures to recommend improvements at spot locations, systemically, and comprehensively
Caltrans guidance follows a similar outline with the following steps:
• Establish leadership
• Analyze the safety data
• Determine emphasis areas

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 3 • Identify strategies
• Prioritize and incorporate strategies
• Evaluate and update the LRSP
This addendum will evaluate and update the 2021 LRSP by analyzing the updated safety data to then determine emphasis areas, identify strategies, and ultimately incorporate the strategies outlined in the 2021 LRSP.

2.1 Guiding Manuals
This section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within National City at a systemic level. This report identifies specific locations within the City that will benefit from safety enhancements and derives crash risk factors based on historic crash data using a network screening process. The outcome will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures by addressing certain roadway characteristics and related driving behaviors contributing to crashes. This process uses the latest national and state best practices for statistical roadway analysis as described by guiding documentation:

2.1.1 Local Roadway Safety Manual
The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.8, May 2026) encourages local agencies to pursue a proactive approach when identifying and analyzing safety issues and preparing to compete for project funding opportunities. A proactive approach means a safety analysis is performed for an entire roadway network through either a one-time network-wide analysis or a routine analysis of the roadway network.1
To provide the most beneficial and competitive funding approach, the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on both intersections and roadway segments and maintain consideration of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should reflect a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from cost-effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The manual suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations using both crash frequency and crash rates. These findings should then be screened for crash type and severity patterns to determine the cause of crashes and the potential effective countermeasures.

Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). These factors are a peer reviewed product of research quantifying the expected rate of crash reduction from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the Local Road Safety Manual provides guidance on appropriate application of CMFs.
1 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.8) 2026. Page 5.

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 4 This methodology is also consistent with the 2021 LRSP and statewide grant funding mechanisms such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).

2.1.2 Highway Safety Manual
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations.2 The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks and identifying high risk locations based on overall crash histories. One of those methods involves calculating a “Critical Crash Rate” for individual intersections and segments on roadway network, using crash data, roadway data, and available traffic data to identify intersections and segments where crash rates are higher than expected for similar facilities.

2.2 Data Sources and Analysis Techniques

2.2.1 Data Sources
The following data sources were used during this project:
• Crash data:
o UC Berkeley SafeTREC Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), 2019-2023
• Roadway data:
o California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Linear Referencing System (LRS)
• Traffic data:
o Caltrans Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS), 2024 o Replica, weekday, fall 20253
• Traffic signals
o City of National City

2.2.2 Crash Analysis
National City crash data was obtained from the UC Berkeley SafeTREC Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) for the most recent five-year period of finalized crash data, 2019–2023. Since the TIMS database does not include property damage only (PDO) crashes, PDO crashes were excluded from project analysis to be consistent with the 2021 LRSP. In addition, crashes occurring on state highways were excluded from analysis. For the five-year analysis period, 1,016 crashes occurred in National City. 2 AASHTO, Highway Safety Manual, 2010, Washington D.C., http://www.highwaysafetymanual.org/Pages/About.aspx
3 Replica is a synthetic data source which provides traffic count estimates using census data, surveys, and location-based services, https://replicahq.com/data

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 5 The initial steps of a crash analysis involve establishing sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this LRSP validation, intersections were grouped by their control type (signalized and unsignalized), and segments were grouped by their roadway functional classification (principal arterial, secondary arterial, collector, local), according to Caltrans Linear Referencing System roadway data. Individual crash rates were then calculated for each intersection and segment category, using the project crash data and 2024 traffic data provided by Caltrans Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). For locations without HPMS traffic data, average daily traffic data was sourced from Replica for an average 2024 weekday.

The resulting population-level crash rates were used to assess the number of crashes at a specific location. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to highlight locations where an unusual number of specific crash types occurred. This information is presented as the Local Critical Crash Rate (LCCR) differential, which can be used to compare intersections and corridors citywide.

Crashes occurring within 250 feet of an intersection were assigned to the signalized intersection. Crashes occurring beyond 250 feet of an intersection were assigned to the roadway segment.

2.2.3 Network Screening Analysis
The network screening process lists intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes over the analysis period and categorizes crashes based on various characteristics. The crashes were organized by the following categories:

1. Crash injury (fatal, serious injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, property damage only),

2. Crash type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, other),

3. Environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), and

4. Driver behavior (impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving).

3. Crash Safety Trends

3.1 Citywide Trends
Overall, the number of crashes occurring in National City increased by approximately 4% between the five-year analysis periods, with 1,016 crashes occurring in 2019-2023 and 977 crashes occurring in 2013-20174. Also, over 106 fatal and serious injury (FSI) crashes occurred in 2019-2023, accounting for over 10% of total crashes in National 4 Crash total figures exclude property damage only (PDO) crashes, crashes occurring on freeways, and crashes unable to be geocoded.

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 6 City during the most recent analysis period. This is a larger share (10.4%) of total crashes compared to the 2013-2017 analysis period (8.2%), as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Citywide Crash Trends Comparison, Total Crashes Source: TIMS, 2019-2023 and National City SSARP/LRSP, 2021 Citywide trends for crash type were also compared between the different five-year periods, as shown in Table 1. Overall, broadside remains the crash type with the highest frequency of total crashes (45% in 2013-2017, and 44% in 2019-2023). Note that this is excluding pedestrian- and bicyclist-involved crashes.

Source: TIMS, 2019-2023
Table 2 and 3 provide crash data totals for the top ten intersections (signalized and unsignalized) and mid-block segments (by functional classification) in National City, respectively. The top ten locations are determined by total crashes. Additional screening criteria, such as fatal and serious injury crashes, Local Critical Crash Rate (LCCR) differential, and other crash data categories are listed in the tables. The tables are ordered by the number of crashes that occurred at that segment or intersection in descending order.

Additionally, it should be noted that the columns for Crash Severity, Crash Type, Pedestrian- and Bicyclist-Involved, and Behavior are additional characteristics of the crashes and should not be counted as additional crashes to the total crash frequency number.

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 9 The following provides details on crash data categories listed in Tables 2 and 3:
• Total: Number of total crashes observed at the intersection or mid-block segment from 2019 to 2023.
• Local CCR differential: Statistical assessment of location’s crash rate compared to other similar locations, based on intersection control type, roadway functional classification, and traffic volumes. Local CCR differential numbers higher than 0 represent locations with higher crash frequency compared to other similar facilities.
• Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO): Financial cost weighting of individual crashes (based on location and crash severity). Specific financial figures based on LRSM, Version 1.8.
• Severity: The number of fatal, serious injury, visible injury, and complaint of pain crashes that occurred at this location in the study period. • Broadside, Sideswipe, Rear-End, Head-On, Hit Object, Overturned, Other, Pedestrian, Bicycle: The number of these types of crashes that occurred at this location in the study period.
• Other: The number of miscellaneous crash types (mostly single vehicle) that occurred at this location in the study period.
• Aggressive, Dark, Wet: The number of crashes with this behavioral or environmental factor identified as the cause of crash.

National City Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) Addendum (2026) 12 4. Updates to High-Crash Corridors &
Recommended Countermeasures
This plan updates the high-crash corridor analysis originally conducted as part of the 2021 LRSP. The accompanying maps and tables identify intersections and mid-block segments that experienced either (1) any fatal or serious injury (FSI) crash, or (2) more than five crashes of any severity during the study period. This threshold is consistent with the methodology established in the 2021 LRSP, allowing for a direct comparison between the original 2021 analysis and the updated analysis in this report.

The updated analysis confirms that the following seven (7) high-crash corridors identified in 2021 continue to represent a disproportionately large share of citywide crashes:
• Highland Avenue, from Division Street to SR-54 EB Ramps • Euclid Avenue, from Beta Street to 18th Street
• Plaza Boulevard / Paradise Valley Road, from Coolidge Avenue to E Plaza Boulevard
• 8
th Street, from Harbor Drive to Plaza Boulevard / Paradise Valley Road • 16th Street, from Wilson Avenue to Rachel Avenue
• 18th Street, from Wilson Avenue to Rachel Avenue
• 30th Street / Sweetwater Road, from Hoover Avenue to Plaza Bonita Center Way
This persistence underscores the continued relevance of these corridors as priority locations for safety investment and reinforces the validity of the original prioritization framework.

The following section presents a comparison of crash trends along each of these seven high-risk corridors between the original (2021) study period and the current timeframe.

This is followed by a status update on the implementation of countermeasures proposed in the 2021 LRSP, documenting progress made to date and identifying any outstanding recommendations.

Note: Intersections and segments with 5 or fewer total crashes during 2013-2017 period listed as “<6” in total crashes, as specific crash number was not reported in the 2021 LRSP if location had fewer than 6 crashes.

Total crashes increased at several intersections on the Highland Avenue corridor, including Highland Avenue & Plaza Boulevard where total crashes increased 73% (19 crashes in 2013-2017 versus 33 crashes in 2019-2023). At Highland Avenue & 18th Street, crashes decreased from 20 crashes in 2013-2017 to 9 crashes in 2019-2023.

The following intersections were added to the intersections list for this corridor based on revised crash data analysis (intersection had one or more FSI crashes, or greater than 5 total crashes in five-year analysis period):

RESOLUTION NO. 2026 -

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,

ADOPTING THE REVALIDATED SYSTEMIC SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT PROGRAM /

LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN, WHICH ASSESSES AND IDENTIFIES LOCATIONS AND SAFETY NEEDS TO IMPROVE LOCAL ROAD SAFETY WITHIN THE CITY.

WHEREAS, on May 19, 2017, the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) awarded the City of National City (“City”) a $90,000 Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (“SSARP”) grant to complete a Citywide Traffic Safety Study, which required a $10,000 local match; and
WHEREAS, on July 17, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-124 authorizing the Mayor to execute a Program Supplement Agreement to accept funding and establish appropriations; and
WHEREAS, Federal regulations require that each state have a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (“SHSP”) and, while the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, an SSARP and Local Road Safety Plan (“LRSP”) allows local road owners to address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP; and
WHEREAS, in April of 2024, City staff worked with one of the City’s on-call traffic engineering consultants to prepare an addendum to the SSARP/LRSP; and WHEREAS, on August 6, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-73 adopting the SSARP/LRSP as amended by the April 2024 Addendum; and WHEREAS, adoption of the SSARP/LRSP by the City Council was required to maintain the City’s eligibility to compete for funding through various State and Federal grant programs, including the Highway Safety Improvement Program (“HSIP”) and the Safe Streets and Roads for All (“SS4A”) program; and
WHEREAS, the SSARP/LRSP adopted in 2024 provides an essential tool for developing and prioritizing future roadway safety improvement projects; and WHEREAS, traffic collision data available from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System for the most recent five-year period, categorized by intersection and mid-block locations, was analyzed and compared with the existing LRSP and data analyzed as part of the 2021 LRSP to identify intersections and roadway segments experiencing a high number of collisions, with prioritization given to severe collisions and collisions involving vulnerable user groups such as pedestrians and bicycle riders; and
WHEREAS, based on the updated traffic collision data analysis, staff identified systemic safety issues and recommended proven safety countermeasures consistent with Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Manual to address identified issues, as well as updating the high-risk corridors identified in the LRSP and providing recommendations for appropriate countermeasures; and WHEREAS, a revalidation of the existing SSARP/LRSP was completed in September of 2026 to reflect and account for the updated traffic collision data; and

WHEREAS, adoption of the SSARP/LRSP by City Council is required to keep the City eligible to compete for funding through various State and Federal grant programs.

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 adopts the revalidated Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program / Local Roadway Safety Plan, which assesses and identifies locations and safety needs to improve local road safety within the City.

Section 2: That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

SUBJECT:

On-Call Consultant Agreements for National City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled: “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, 1) Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Three-Year Agreement with Chen Ryan Associates, Inc. for a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $900,000; a Three-Year Agreement with Innovative Construction Consulting Services, LLC for a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $900,000; and a Three-Year Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. for a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $2,000,000, to Provide On-Call Project Support Services for National City’s Capital Improvement Program, and 2) Authorizing the City Manager to Execute any Project-Specific Supplemental Agreements as May be Required for Grant-Funded Projects.”
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

National City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) requires specialized services and technical expertise to effectively deliver, maintain, and support projects, existing infrastructure, and the City’s long-term capital investments, while ensuring projects are completed efficiently and continue to meet the needs of the community. Projects include, for example, corridor enhancements for traffic calming, pedestrian / bicycle safety (including Americans with Disabilities Act compliance) and smart growth redevelopment; road diets and complete streets; safe routes to school; traffic signal modifications; new street lights; sewer replacement and upsizing; storm drain improvements and implementation of Low-Impact Development (LID) measures for treatment of urban storm water runoff; drought tolerant landscaping; facilities improvements; and park amenities.

To successfully design, manage and construct these projects, the Engineering & Public Works Department advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering-related discipline support services on June 28, 2025. Services requested via the RFQ include, but are not limited to, planning and design of infrastructure or facilities, plan and map reviews, preparation of plat and legal descriptions, sewer system management and financial administration, housing and real estate development services, construction and grant management, and environmental compliance involving storm water, wastewater and hazardous materials.

The RFQ was advertised on the City’s website, published in the San Diego Union Tribune, and advertised on PlanetBids on June 28, 2025. On September 17, 2025, Statements of

Qualifications (SOQ) to the RFQ, consistent with the requirements of the RFQ, were submitted to the City through PlanetBids.

Based on the strength of their SOQs, interviews and past performance, staff recommends executing three-year Agreements (with the option to extend for two, one-year terms) with the following consultants to provide on-call project support services for National City’s CIP projects:
 Chen Ryan Associates, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $900,000  Innovative Construction Consulting Services, LLC for a not-to-exceed amount of $900,000
 Ardurra Group, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000 The individual agreements are attached. For each of the agreements, see Exhibit “A” for the consultant’s general scope of work and Exhibit “B” for schedule of fees. Services will be provided “as-needed” based on available funding and capital priorities. As project needs arise, individual task orders for a defined scope are proposed and authorized.

In addition to execution of these agreements, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute any project-specific supplemental agreements, as may be required for grant funded projects. These supplemental agreements would reference the terms and conditions of the attached master on-call Agreement, while incorporating additional project-specific grant requirements for use of consultant support services. Authorization to accept and appropriate grant funds and execute grant agreements with the awarding agency (e.g. Caltrans, SANDAG, etc.) would still require separate City Council action.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Funds are appropriated in various CIP Accounts. Funding for subsequent fiscal years is dependent on future CIP appropriations as part of annual budgets and/or future grand awards.

The CONSULTANT is responsible for identifying any unique products, treatments, processes, or materials whose availability is critical to the success of the project the CONSULTANT has been retained to perform, within the time requirements of the CITY, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the CONSULTANT has notified the CITY otherwise, the CONSULTANT warrants that all products, materials, processes, or treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the CITY are reasonably commercially available. Any failure by the CONSULTANT to use due diligence under this sub-section will render the CONSULTANT liable to the CITY for any increased costs that result from the CITY’s later inability to obtain the specified items or any reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.

CONSULTANT’s employees providing service under this Agreement shall not: (1) qualify for any compensation and benefit under PERS; (2) be entitled to any benefits under PERS; (3) enroll in PERS as an employee of CITY; (4) receive any employer contributions paid by CITY for PERS benefits; or (5) be entitled to any other PERS-related benefit that would accrue to a CITY employee.

This Section 17 applies to CONSULTANT notwithstanding any other agency, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary.

17.2 Limitation of CITY Liability. The payment made to CONSULTANT under this Agreement shall be the full and complete compensation to which CONSULTANT and CONSULTANT’s officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors are entitled for performance of any work under this Agreement. Neither CONSULTANT nor CONSULTANT’s officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors are entitled to any salary or wages, or retirement, health, leave, or other fringe benefits applicable to CITY employees. The CITY will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of CONSULTANT. The CITY shall not be required to pay any workers’ compensation insurance on behalf of CONSULTANT .

17.3 Indemnification for Employee Payments. CONSULTANT agrees to defend and indemnify the CITY for any obligation, claim, suit, or demand for tax, retirement contribution including any contribution to PERS, social security, salary or wages, overtime payment, or workers’ compensation payment which the CITY may be required to make on behalf of (1) CONSULTANT, (2) any employee of CONSULTANT, or (3) any employee of CONSULTANT construed to be an employee of the CITY, for work performed under this Agreement.

D. Workers’ Compensation Insurance in an amount sufficient to meet statutory requirements covering all of CONSULTANT’s employees and employers’ liability insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per accident. In addition, the policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the CITY. Said endorsement shall be provided prior to commencement of work under this Agreement.

If CONSULTANT has no employees subject to the California Workers’ Compensation and Labor laws, CONSULTANT shall execute a Declaration to that effect. Said Declaration shall be provided to CONSULTANT by CITY.

E. The aforesaid policies shall constitute primary insurance as to the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, so that any other policies held by the CITY shall not contribute to any loss under said insurance.

1. COVER LETTER
Attention: Stephen Manganiello, T.E.

Director of Public Works / City Engineer
City of National City
1243 Main Street
National City, CA 91950
September 17, 2025
Dear Stephen Manganiello and Members of the Evaluation Panel:

Chen Ryan Associates, Inc., dba CR Associates (CRA), is excited for the opportunity to submit this Statement of Qualifications for us to continue providing On-Call Project Support Services to the City of National City. Since our founding in 2011, CRA has partnered with the City on a wide range of initiatives, from planning efforts such as the 24th St Transit Oriented Development Overlay, and the City’s SSARP Safety Analysis, to design projects including Sweetwater Road Bikeway, Bayshore Bikeway Segment 5, the 24th Street Transit Center Connections, and Highland Avenue to name a few. We are proud of our work with the City, and how we’ve been able to assist in securing grant funding for multiple efforts that have now been constructed, are in the design process, or will become future projects to continue the City’s conversion to one of the region’s best multi-modal communities.

The years of working together with your staff has given us an understanding of the City’s wants and changing needs. Through the last 14 years, our team has been part of the City’ successful construction of a large portion of the bicycle master plan; the revitalization of the downtown area with wider sidewalks, curb extensions, and decorative fixtures; and the improvements in multi-modal connections between the City’s parks, places of works, and important destinations. We also have worked with you through the implementation of Districts in 2021, the push for mobility options outside of active transportation, and the City’s support for development. Because of this we have put together a team of multi-disciplined professionals that can provide the services as we have in the past, and expand them to what the City needs for the future.

I, Roberto Ruiz-Salas, P.E., will serve as your Contract Manager and primary point of contact. Over the past ten years, I have supported National City in multiple capacities, and I look forward to continuing that service for the next ten years and beyond. I consider our team’s relationship with the City as an extension of staff, and pride ourselves in being able to be flexible, responsive, and provide high-quality services for the different tasks that your team requires.

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
ON-CALL PROJECT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR NATIONAL CITY’S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) For over the past fourteen years, CR Associates has been partnered with the City of National City providing a variety of services including transportation planning and design, grant writing, and public outreach. As you’ve experienced, our approach to On-Call Services contracts comes from years of working with public works agencies, understanding the needs and limitations of our clients, and being able to provide high-quality services while being flexible to tackle the simultaneous tasks in hand. We understand the uniqueness of National City:
the multi-cultural residents; the importance of both active transportation implementation but at the same time reducing the impact on people driving or using public transportation; the necessity of grant funding to continue developing the City; as well as the benefits of having great relationships with stakeholders such as: Caltrans, MTS, SDG&E and utility companies, school districts, and other City’s departments to get projects completed.

Through this SOQ we will present our in-house team, as well as our subconsultants, who we have hand-picked to be able to serve the City in the multiple disciplines as presented in the cover letter. Our team specializes in creating innovative solutions to help the City continue the development of a dynamic multimodal transportation system throughout the City; we are experts in complete street design, civil and traffic engineering, transit development, safe routes to school, active transportation planning and design, land use modifications, traffic operations and simulations, and ADA accessibility to name a few disciplines. Our experience across Southern California and the country, allows us to bring fresh solutions to a wide range of municipal projects, supported by strong technical expertise as well as years of proven implementation. 4 CRA P#2025.142

Subject: 2025 On-Call Project Support Service for National City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Dear Mr. Manganiello,
Innovative Construction Consulting Services, LLC (ICCS) specializes in supporting Government agencies on Public Works construction projects. These projects are typically under the scrutiny of the public eye, have potential for political implications and require attention to budgetary and scheduling details. When projects are delayed, the impact can cost public agencies and taxpayers thousands of dollars. ICCS takes pride in providing municipal agencies with construction managers and inspectors who thoroughly understand the entire capital improvement process from design, budget, and preparation of bid specifications to construction, scheduling, final inspections and closeout. ICCS prides itself in providing a high level of service on Public Works projects. ICCS holds DBE, MBE and SBE Certifications.

Founded in 2009 and incorporated in 2016, ICCS provides leadership, enthusiasm, knowledge and support to Public Agencies, including my past 35 years of experience in the industry. For the past 12 years, we have been proud to have provided Construction Management, Inspection and Labor Compliance as we have partnered with National City on numerous projects.

At ICCS we constantly monitor and explore industry technology and needs, seek ways to expand our level of customer service and support, and continue to seek new methods available to provide improved projects and cost saving measures to National City. Most recently, the addition of a drone allows us to do an aerial survey of hard-to-reach locations, photo document work progress and evaluate items such as utility wire heights or overhead restrictions.

Our experienced team has had the privilege to work personally with the City of National City over the past twelve years, providing Construction Management, Inspection and Labor Compliance reviews on numerous projects. Mosty currently The Eastside I-805, El Toyon Park, FY 24/25 ADA and Pavement Rehab. and the Central Community Mobility Enhancement projects.

I am also well aware of National City’s policies and procedures, including the high standards set for quality control, quality assurance and accountability.

Any failure by the CONSULTANT to use due diligence under this sub-section will render the CONSULTANT liable to the CITY for any increased costs that result from the CITY’s later inability to obtain the specified items or any reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.

For purposes of determining who is to be considered the prevailing party, it is stipulated that attorney’s fees incurred in the prosecution or defense of the action or suit shall not be considered in determining the amount of the judgment or award. Attorney’s fees to the prevailing party if other than the CITY shall, in addition, be limited to the amount of attorney’s fees incurred by the CITY in its prosecution or defense of the action, irrespective of the actual amount of attorney’s fees incurred by the prevailing party.
