STAFF REPORT
Date: January 15, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Chad Blais, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Sam Nelson, Deputy City Engineer
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Quitclaim and conveyance of Public Storm Drain Easements located within Tract 25779 RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

RCFC&WCD is requesting the City of Norco to quitclaim and re-convey three (3) public storm drain easements located within Tract 25779. The easements were dedicated to the City of Norco on behalf of RCFC&WCD in 1999. However, due to an oversight the easements were never turned over to RCFC&WCD.

BACKGROUND:

In 1999 the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD) entered into an agreement with the City of Norco to accept three (3) storm drain easements (See Tract 25779) and reconvey them to RCFC&WCD as outlined by the executed agreement (See Cooperative Agreement, Section III.4).

Per RCFC&WCD's standard agreement terms and conditions, upon completion of construction they request the public entity accept any dedications made on the District's behalf and then re-convey them via a quitclaim deed for RCFC&WCD's acceptance.

However, the RCFC&WCD recently notified the City of Norco that the re-conveyance of the storm drain easements to the District never went forward resulting in RCFC&WCD having no formal rights to maintain these facilities.

Page 21 of 624 ends

Due to this oversight the RCFC&WCD is requesting that the City of Norco quitclaim and re-convey the three (3) storm drain easements to RCFC&WCD via a quitclaim deed (See three (3) quitclaim deeds).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable for this item.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 15, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.D.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance
Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Acceptance of Bids and Award of Contract for the Pikes Peak Park ADA Synthetic Poured-In-Place Surfacing Project (Project No. 4407.8)
RECOMMENDATION:

Accept bids and award contract to ORTCO, Inc. in the amount of $456,100; and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10% of the original contract.

SUMMARY:

The Pikes Peak Park Playground Replacement Project (Project No. 4407.8) has been approved as a Capital Improvement Project for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The City of Norco is undertaking improvements to Pikes Peak Park, including the installation of an inclusive playground and ADA-compliant synthetic surfacing. The City Council authorized a contract with GameTime for the playground installation, with materials received; however, installation will proceed upon the award of the proposed subsequent contract. The contract for ADA synthetic surfacing was initially approved but later terminated. The bidding process was reinitiated and following a review of bids, ORTCO, Inc. has been identified as the lowest-responsive bidder at $456,100 and has been confirmed as compliant with all federal regulations. The City Council is hereby requested to approve the award of the contract to ORTCO, Inc. to complete the project.

BACKGROUND:

On July 17, 2024, the City Council authorized a contract with GameTime for the procurement and installation of an inclusive playground at Pikes Peak Park. The playground materials have been received and are currently in the City’s possession.

The contract with GameTime remains active, and installation will proceed upon the award of the proposed subsequent contract.

Page 69 of 624 ends

On September 18, 2024, the City Council authorized a contract for the Pikes Peak ADA Synthetic Poured-In-Place Surfacing Project. However, this contract was terminated, and City staff, with the approval of the City Attorney and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) representative, reinitiated the public bidding process. This project is funded through CDBG funds, which are allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support local development initiatives. The contractor must adhere to all federally mandated CDBG requirements, including compliance with labor standards, equal opportunity regulations, and environmental protections. These requirements ensure the appropriate use of public funds, promote transparency, and safeguard the integrity of the project, ultimately benefiting the community and ensuring responsible management of federal resources. Installation work will commence upon the approval of the new contract.

The proposed contract will address the remaining phases of the project not covered by the GameTime contract, which include the demolition and removal of the existing playground, the reconstruction of the subbase and drainage system, and the installation of a multi-colored PIP rubberized play surface. The PIP rubber surfacing is a critical component for ADA compliance, providing enhanced shock absorption, accessibility, and interactive elements that promote imaginative play and creativity.

Benefits of Rubber Surfacing:

Rubber surfacing is an ideal choice for playgrounds due to its smooth, aesthetically pleasing appearance, vibrant colors, and customizable patterns. It offers several key benefits:

Page 70 of 624 ends

 Economic Efficiency: Rubber surfacing is cost-effective, easy to install, and highly durable, providing a longer lifespan compared to engineered wood fiber.  Safety: It offers superior fall protection and reduces the risk of slips and falls, ensuring the safety of children.
 Low Maintenance: Rubber surfacing requires minimal maintenance, typically only periodic cleaning, and does not attract bacteria or insects.  Environmental Sustainability: Made from recycled tires, rubber surfacing is environmentally friendly.
 Noise Reduction: Rubber tiles can reduce noise levels by up to 18 decibels, improving the quality of outdoor play environments.

Due to its safety and ADA compliance benefits, the City of Norco has adopted rubber surfacing as a best practice for all its playgrounds. This material provides comfort, shock absorbency, and extended playtime for children. When properly installed, rubber surfacing can last up to 15 years, with bidders on this project being mandated to provide a 5-year warranty.

As part of this project, ORTCO, Inc. will oversee the installation of temporary fencing around the playground area for safety purposes. Additionally, ORTCO will manage the installation of signage and public notifications to inform park users about the upcoming improvements to Pikes Peak Park.

On October 25, 2024, the City of Norco, in consultation with the City Attorney and CDBG, terminated the previous contract for the Pikes Peak Park ADA Synthetic Poured-In-Place Surfacing Project. After obtaining approval from the CDBG program coordinator and the City Attorney, City staff reissued the Notice of Inviting Bids on November 7, 2024, via the PlanetBids portal. Bids were received on November 21, 2024, with amounts ranging from $449,826 to $549,000. Upon review, the lowest bid was found to contain irregularities, and on December 26, 2024, Cindbad Industries withdrew their bid.

ORTCO, Inc. is the apparent lowest-responsive bidder with a bid of $456,100. ORTCO, Inc. is a general contractor based in Orange, CA, specializing in the installation of playground equipment. They hold a valid Class B General Building Contractor’s license, as well as Class 61 and D12 licenses for synthetic products required for the rubberized PIP installation. ORTCO has a proven track record of successful PIP installations in the City of Norco, including the PIP surfacing projects at Hawks Crest Park and Pacer Park.

CDBG has reviewed ORTCO, Inc.'s federal documents and their registration at SAM.gov, finding them to be in compliance with all federal regulations governing CDBG funding. Awarding the contract to ORTCO, Inc. will enable the City to proceed with the installation of ADA-compliant synthetic surfacing at Pikes Peak Park, ensuring the playground meets both safety and accessibility standards, while enhancing the play experience for all children. Therefore, it is respectfully requested that the City Council approve the award of the contract for the Pikes Peak Park ADA Synthetic Poured-InPlace Surfacing Project to ORTCO, Inc., in the amount of $456,100.

FISCAL IMPACT:

HUD’s implementing regulations for VAWA’S protections, rights, and responsibilities are codified in 24 CFR part 5, subpart L, and related provisions in HUD’s program regulations (HUD’s VAWA regulations). VAWA 2022 amendments took effect on October 1, 2022 and 2022 VAWA’s reauthorization includes new implementation requirements. Grantees, subrecipients and developers shall ensure compliance with all requirements of VAWA including but not limited to: (a) Assure domestic violence survivors are not denied assistance as an applicant, or evicted, or have assistance terminated as a tenant because applicant or tenant is or has been a victim of domestic violence; (b) Implement an emergency transfer plan allowing domestic violence survivor to move to another safe and available unit; (c) Provide protections against denial, terminations, and evictions that directly result from being a victim of domestic violence; (d) Implement a low barrier certification process and allow self-certification of domestic violence.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 15, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.E.

Accept Proposal and Award Camera System and Wi-Fi Improvements for the Ingalls Event Center Camera System Project (Project No. 54410.10) RECOMMENDATION:

Accept proposal and award contract to SHI International Corporation (through OMNIA Partners Contract No. 2024056) in the amount of $179,000 for the Ingalls Event Center Camera System Project.

SUMMARY:

The Ingalls Event Center Camera System Project (Project No. 54410.10) has been approved as a Capital Improvement Project for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The Ingalls Event Center, a key venue for family-friendly entertainment, requires upgrades to its security and Wi-Fi infrastructure to support events at the Center. Currently, the facility lacks a comprehensive camera system and has inadequate Wi-Fi to handle event needs. The proposed contract with SHI International Corporation aims to address these deficiencies by installing a camera system and upgrading the Wi-Fi network to improve security, customer experience, and operational efficiency. The upgrades will provide full perimeter camera coverage and robust Wi-Fi, ensuring the facility meets growing demands and maintains its role as a premier venue.

BACKGROUND:

To safeguard the integrity of the City’s security and Wi-Fi systems, this staff report has been intentionally generalized. In accordance with established security protocols and to mitigate the risk of compromising the City's IT and security infrastructure, all information related to security software, system configurations, and related technologies will remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public. Unauthorized disclosure of such

Page 147 of 624 ends

sensitive details could expose the City to heightened security vulnerabilities and potential threats from malicious actors.

The Ingalls Event Center is a key facility in the City of Norco, known for offering familyfriendly entertainment to the community. The Center hosts a diverse range of events, including rodeos, equestrian activities, community events, and more. It features two primary covered arenas—Moreno Arena and Clark Arena—which are regularly used for large-scale events. As a cornerstone of family-oriented entertainment in Norco, the Ingalls Event Center serves an essential role in maintaining the equestrian lifestyle while ensuring the safety and enjoyment of visitors. In order to meet the growing demands for security, customer service, and operational efficiency, the facility requires an upgrade to its existing security infrastructure and Wi-Fi capabilities.

Currently, the facility lacks a comprehensive, perimeter-wide camera system, and the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure is insufficient to support the operational needs of largescale events. The proposed contract with SHI International Corporation will address these deficiencies by procuring and installing a complete camera system and upgrading the Wi-Fi network, both of which will improve event security, customer experience, and overall facility management.

Project Scope: The proposed project will encompass the following components:

Procurement and Installation of a Camera System:
 SHI International Corporation will be responsible for procuring and installing a complete camera system to cover both the interior and exterior areas of the Moreno and Clark Arenas.
 The cameras will be strategically positioned to provide full perimeter coverage, ensuring a 360-degree view of both the exterior and interior of the arenas during events.
 The installation will include all necessary equipment, including cameras, mounts, cabling, and related hardware to ensure full functionality.  The camera system will be designed to support real-time monitoring of largescale events.  The contract will cover all associated costs for the system's operation, including software, licensing, storage, and other essential components.

Procurement and Installation of Wi-Fi Infrastructure:
 SHI International Corporation will also be responsible for upgrading the Wi-Fi infrastructure at the Ingalls Event Center.
 This upgrade will ensure the facility’s network can handle the increased bandwidth required for the camera system and provide reliable internet service for customers and event participants.
 The contract will cover all associated costs for the Wi-Fi upgrade, including equipment, installation, and licensing.

The cameras will be installed in designated public areas where individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The contract with SHI, facilitated through Omnia Partners, a global procurement organization, and identified as Contract No. 2024056 via cooperative purchasing,

Page 148 of 624 ends

complies with the City’s procurement requirements. The approval of this contract with SHI International Corporation will significantly enhance both the security and functionality of the Ingalls Event Center. The installation of a comprehensive camera system and the improvement of the Wi-Fi network are critical steps in ensuring the safety and success of large-scale events, while also providing an improved experience for event attendees and clients. These upgrades are vital for maintaining the facility’s standing as a premier venue for family-friendly entertainment in the City of Norco. Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve this contract to proceed with the implementation of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Ingalls Event Center Camera System Project (Project No. 54410.10) was approved as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2024-25 for total project amount of $300,000 from Measure R Account No. 132.940.43115. The available funds in this account are fully adequate to cover the cost in the amount of $179,000 for the Ingalls Event Center Camera System and Wi-Fi Improvement Project.

Approval for the Installation of a Round Pen at Basin Park (3015 Dapplegray Lane, Norco, CA 92860)
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the installation of a round pen at Basin Park.

SUMMARY:

In November 2024, the City received a proposal to install a round pen at Basin Park to provide local horse owners with a safe, dedicated space to warm up and lunge their horses before using the main arena. The proposal was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission, which acknowledged the round pen’s value to the community.

Alisha Hajek and So Cal Fence will generously donate the round pen, which will be installed by City staff with assistance from Parks and Ingalls Crews. Ongoing maintenance will be minimal, as Priority Landscape, which already maintains the arena, will also care for the round pen. The installation and maintenance costs will be absorbed within the existing park operating budget.

BACKGROUND:

In November 2024, the City received a proposal from Alisha Hajek to install a round pen at Basin Park located at 3015 Dapplegray Lane. This round pen will provide a dedicated area for local horse owners to lunge and warm up their horses before utilizing the main arena. The proposal directly addresses a community need, as local equestrians have expressed interest in having a safe and accessible space to warm up their horses.

A round pen is a circular enclosure designed to offer a controlled, safe environment for exercising horses. It allows horse owners and trainers to work with their horses in a confined space, fostering trust, communication, and control. The round pen is typically

Page 150 of 624 ends

used for lunging, a form of exercise where the horse moves in a circle, guided by the handler. This exercise helps the horse stretch, warm up, and release excess energy, making the round pen an essential tool for preparing horses for arena activities.

The proposal was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on December 9, 2024. The Commission recognized the round pen as a valuable addition to Basin Park and acknowledged its potential to enhance the experience of local equestrians.

In accordance with the City’s Donations Acceptance Policy and Procedures, all donations, including those offered to employees, must be submitted for review. City staff will evaluate each donation to determine whether its benefits warrant acceptance. For donations of cash or tangible goods valued at $24,999 or less, the City Manager or their designee is authorized to accept the donation. The City Manager or designee is also responsible for acknowledging receipt and expressing gratitude to the donors on behalf of the City. So Cal Fence and Alisha Hajek have generously offered the donation of a round pen in the amount of $3,000. This donation falls within the accepted threshold, and as such, City staff recommends its acceptance upon approval from the City Council for the placement of the pen.

The round pen will be installed by City staff with assistance from Parks and Ingalls Crews. A 20-foot space will be maintained around the round pen for tractor access, ensuring that maintenance can be conducted without disrupting facility operations.

Priority Landscape, which currently provides weekly grooming for the arena, will also manage the weekly grooming of the round pen as part of the existing maintenance schedule. Maintenance costs will remain minimal, following the same procedures used for the arena.

The addition of the round pen at Basin Park will provide significant value to the local equestrian community, offering a designated space for horse owners to warm up and prepare their horses for arena use. With the generous donation from So Cal Fence and Barn, the round pen will be seamlessly integrated into the park's maintenance schedule.

Page 151 of 624 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

The installation costs will be absorbed within the existing park operating budget, as City staff will handle the installation of the round pen. Priority Landscape will continue to provide weekly grooming for Basin Park and include the round pen into their scope of work. All maintenance costs will be accounted for within the Park Maintenance Contractual Services Account (No. 121.733.34100).

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 15, 2025 Agenda Item:

3.I.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alma Robles, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Community Development Director Department: City Council
SUBJECT:

Approval of an amendment to the existing contract with Willdan Engineering to include the provision of Code Enforcement services, and an amendment to the FY 2024-25 Contractual Services budget for the Community Development Department - Code Enforcement Division.

RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

The Code Enforcement Division consists of three full-time positions, a supervisor (currently vacant), a Senior Code Enforcement Officer (currently filled) and a Code Enforcement Officer (will be vacant after January 16, 2025). The requested amendment to the existing contract with Willdan Engineering, and the additional appropriation of funds will allow the provision of adequate Code Enforcement services until the end of FY 2024-25 or until the vacant positions are filled (whichever is less).

BACKGROUND:

The Community Development Department has an existing contract/agreement with Willdan Engineering for on-call Building and Planning Division services. The contract was extended in 2023 and is valid until September 17, 2025 (ref. Exhibit A - Existing Willdan Contract Report).

Staff is requesting that City Council approve an amendment to the existing contract with Willdan, to include the provision of Code Enforcement Services (ref. Exhibit B - Willdan Code Enforcement Services Proposal).

Page 160 of 624 ends

Staff is also recommending the additional appropriation of funds necessary for the provision of Code Enforcement services by Willdan. For FY 2024-25, the contractual services budget for Code Enforcement was set at $102,900 (mostly for abatement and legal services). This is reflected in the Community Development operating budget. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a budget appropriation of $102,900 to Contractual Services (121.751.34100), to cover the cost of contractual Code Enforcement services (a supervisor for 20 hours a week and an officer for 36 hours a week) until the end of FY 2024-25 or until the vacant positions are filled (whichever is less).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The budget for contractual services related to the Building and Safety Division will be increased by $102,900 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget under account number 121.751.34100. However, this increase will be offset by the vacancy of full-time Code Enforcement staff's salary and benefit savings of $32,000 ($26,175 for salary and $5,825 for benefits).

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 6, 2023 Agenda Item:

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Planning Director
Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

A request for approval of a two-year extension on the existing contract with Willdan for the Building and Planning Division contractual services.

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to extend the existing contract with Willdan for two additional years.

SUMMARY:

In 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to sign a contract extension with Willdan for three years with the option to approve two additional years by the City Manager. Willdan's fees are being adjusted slightly (primarily due to inflation), therefore the City Council needs to authorize the extension.

BACKGROUND:

The existing contract with Willdan is due to expire on September 17, 2023 (see the attached existing contract). Section 3.1.2 of the contract only provides authority to the City Manager to extend the contract for two years. It does not allow for contract modification, which the new fees would be a modification of the original agreement (see the attached updated renewal fees).

Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to extend the contract for two years for the following reasons:
• The change to the contract is minor and pertains to the fee schedule (minor increases due to inflation - higher employee costs, benefit costs, overhead, etc.).

Fees have not gone up since 2015 (with the original and existing contract). Fees would likely be higher if we were to re-negotiate a new contract. Below is the table that lists and compares the existing and new fees:

change Notes:
• The City now has a full-time building official; therefore contractual service costs have been going down incrementally as more plans checks are being done in house, and the Building Official supplements and fills in as an inspector. An additional two years will allow staff time evaluate the extent and need for contractual services in the future; and
• It is within the best interest of the City to continue a partnership because of Willdan's experience, consistency and knowledge of the City of Norco.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Contractual services related to the Building and Safety Division have been accounted for in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget.

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 1 - Public Health, Safety and Wellness: Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members.
