Project Cost
City Phases 1 & 2
Stages 1 – 5 New System Procurement
SDI developed our project cost estimate based on our years of experience completing projects of a similar scope. Based on the City’s RFP, research regarding the City size and structure, and our past experience with similar projects, we estimate that the Procurement phase will require 513 hours to complete for a total cost of $113,675. SDI’s all-inclusive rates (inclusive of travel and related expenses) are as follows:
$240 per hour for Delivery Executive; $225 per hour for Project Manager; and $215 per hour for Project Consultants. Provided below is a table presenting the level of effort and cost by Stage for the ERP Procurement project.

Task Description Hours Cost
Stage 1 – Initiate 15 $ 3,820
Stage 2 – Requirements 276 $ 64,445
Total Phase 1 291 $ 63,635
Stage 3 - Request for Proposal (RFP) 34 $ 7,680
Stage 4 – Select 152 $ 34,230
Stage 5 - Negotiate 36 $ 8,130
Total Phase 2 222 $ 50,040
Grand Total – ERP Procurement 513 $ 113,675
SDI typically invoices clients for actual hours worked in the prior month, with details outlining the SDI resources and the time spent on project activities. Utilizing this approach provides the City an opportunity to regularly direct SDI resources toward project activities that are the most critical. Also, this approach provides an opportunity for the City to potentially retain funds in the event SDI does not utilize the full project budget.

City Phase 3
Stages 6 - 7 New System Implementation
The following assumptions were utilized when developing our cost proposal for project management services during new system implementation:
24-month (104 week) implementation timeline
20 hours per week of Project Manager services
Hybrid of onsite and offsite work during Project Management activities 1 hour per week of Delivery Executive oversight
Based on these assumptions, the total number of hours to complete the implementation portion of the project is 2,184 hours for project management and oversight. Utilizing the same rates as provided in the Procurement portion of the project ($240 per hour for Project Manager and $225 for Delivery Executive) yields a total cost of $492,960 for project management services during the 24-month implementation period.

There are a number of variables that will likely affect the actual level of effort required to provide project management services during new system implementation, including for example, the availability of the software vendor to implement, potential changes in City staffing, and unforeseen changes to the vendor project team or project scope. Because it is difficult to determine the actual number of hours that will be

Proposal to City of Norco for
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Consulting Services October 2, 2025 Page 3
needed for implementation activities, SDI recommends that the City consider establishing an overall implementation project budget and allow SDI to bill monthly for actual hours worked in the previous month. This allows the City and SDI to focus our efforts on the areas of greatest need and manage SDI resources to maximize effectiveness. SDI only invoices for actual services provided, so any hours that are not consumed in support of this project are not invoiced to the City.

SUBJECT:

Order of Procedure and Approve Resolutions Necessary for the Annual Assessment Levy Continuing Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 1 – Beazer, Tract 28765; No. 2 – Western Pacific, Tract 25779; No. 3 – Centex, Tract 28626; No. 4 – Norco Ridge Ranch, Tracts 29588 and 29589; and No. 5 – Hawk’s Crest, Tract 30230 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the following Resolutions approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports and the additional Resolutions providing for an Annual Levy of Assessments and setting the Public Hearing date for June 3, 2026, for each District.

Resolution No. 2026-26, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2026-27, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2026-28, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2026-29, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2026-30, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), approving the Engineer’s Preliminary Report for the Annual Levy of Assessments for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in said Districts; Resolution No. 2026-31, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2026-32, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2026-33, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2026-34, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2026-35, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), Declaring City’s Intention to Provide for an Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for Certain Maintenance in an Existing District, and Setting a Time and Place for the Public Hearing.

SUMMARY:

As stipulated in the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” the continuation of an existing maintenance district assessment must be reviewed and approved each fiscal year. The attached resolutions provide for the proper continuation of the Districts as well as the assessments. The proposed 5% increase in Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and the CPI increases in Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 2 through No. 5 will

Page 447 of 695 ends

not require a majority protest vote from the property owners since the increase in assessments was allowed for in the formation of the Districts.

BACKGROUND:

The “Landscaping and Lighting Act" of 1972 requires that an Engineer’s Report for existing landscape maintenance districts (LMDs) must be reviewed and approved annually to continue assessments for the districts. The formation of LMD No. 1 allows the Maximum Assessment Rate to increase by 5% annually. The Maximum Assessment Rates for the remaining four districts increase annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario California Area for All Urban Consumers from March to March. The Annual CPI increase for March 2026 is 3.09%.

Each district will only assess the amount necessary to cover the costs in that district, so levying at the Maximum Assessment Rate may or may not be required during any fiscal year. The tables below show both the current year and the prior year Maximum Assessment Rate, as well as the rate that will be applied for the current fiscal year. At no time, will any district be assessed an amount greater than the Maximum Assessment Rate.

Maximum Allowable Assessment Rates
District FY 25-26 FY 26-27 FY 26-27

LMD No. 1 $200.82 $210.86 5.00%

LMD No. 4 $1,422.39 $1,466.33 3.09%
LMD No. 4 (Mt.

Shasta - 25 Parcels) $1,422.39 $1,466.33 3.09%

The following information applies to each Landscape Maintenance District as designated:

Page 448 of 695 ends

Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
On February 3, 1999, City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Tract 28765 (Beazer Homes) comprised of 67 lots. The District was formed to maintain landscaping along the River Road frontage of the tract. The maximum assessment rate will be applied to this district due to the lack of reserves. Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) will not be scheduled for this district at this time.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
On January 27, 2000, the City Council established Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 for Tract No. 25799 (Western Pacific), consisting of 219 assessable lots. The district provides for the maintenance and preservation of landscaping improvements along Norco Hills Road and Hidden Valley Parkway, as well as selected interior slopes, wetlands, equestrian trails, and Norco Hills Park, helping to maintain the district’s aesthetic appeal and recreational amenities.

In 2023, the Proposition 218 ballot measure to increase funding for the district was not approved. In response, the City implemented several cost-management measures to maintain the long-term financial stability of the district, including the removal of playground equipment at Norco Hills Park that had exceeded its useful life, as well as the removal of the temporary restroom facility to reduce ongoing operational and incidental costs.

To support continued maintenance services and improve the district’s financial position, the maximum allowable assessment rate will be levied this year. While Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) are not currently scheduled, the district is taking important steps toward future improvements. In 2025, a traffic study determined that certain landscaped areas within the district provide a general benefit to the broader community and should therefore be funded by the City’s General Fund. The identified general benefit areas include the landscaped slopes and parkway along Hidden Valley Parkway, as well as the landscaped frontage along Norco Hills Road between Hidden Valley Parkway and Parkview Drive. This determination does not include equestrian trail maintenance. As a result, $91,864 will be funded from the City's General Fund for the shared community benefit. Beginning this fiscal year, the district will begin gradually rebuilding Operating and Capital reserves to support future capital improvement projects and enhance long-term service sustainability.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
On June 6, 2001, the City Council established Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 for Tract 28626 (Centex), consisting of 82 lots. The district was created to ensure the longterm care and enhancement of landscaping improvements along Norco Hills Road, designated interior slopes, and equestrian trails, contributing to the overall aesthetics, functionality, and character of the district.

In 2023, a Proposition 218 ballot measure to increase funding for the district was conducted but was not approved. To maintain service levels and support long-term financial sustainability, the City completed a traffic study in 2025. The study determined that a portion of the district’s landscape maintenance costs provides a general benefit to

Page 449 of 695 ends

the broader community; accordingly, those costs are appropriately supported by the City’s General Fund.

The general benefit area includes the landscaped parkway and slope along Norco Hills Road between Parkview Drive and Valley Drive. As a result, $32,270 will be funded from the City's General Fund for the shared community benefit. Beginning this fiscal year, the district will begin gradually rebuilding Operating and Capital reserves to support future capital improvement projects and enhance long-term service sustainability. Given current reserve levels, the maximum allowable assessment rate will be applied, and CIP projects are not currently scheduled; however, this approach establishes a more stable foundation for future CIP projects and long-term district sustainability.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
On October 2, 2002, the City Council established Landscape Maintenance District No. 4 for Tracts 29588 and 29589 (Norco Ridge Ranch), consisting of 557 developed singlefamily residential lots, including 25 lots that receive trail maintenance-only benefits, as well as five undeveloped lots, for a total of 562 assessable lots. The District was formed to provide for the ongoing maintenance, operation, and enhancement of landscaped and open space improvements throughout the District, including irrigated and nonirrigated slopes, fuel modification areas, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, natural open space and wetland areas, and Ridge Ranch Park. These improvements contribute to the District’s aesthetic character, public safety, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life.

The Acacia plant material located on the Crestview Drive and Valley Drive slopes is now more than 25 years old and has exceeded its anticipated useful life. The existing vegetation is experiencing substantial decline, including dieback and excessive woody growth, resulting in increased maintenance demands associated with trimming, vegetation management, and irrigation inefficiencies. As the plant material continues to deteriorate, the associated irrigation infrastructure has also become less effective and more costly to maintain.

To address these conditions, the City has initiated planning efforts for a phased slope rehabilitation program. The proposed approach includes the systematic removal of deteriorated vegetation in manageable sections, repair and enhancement of irrigation infrastructure where necessary, and restoration of the slopes through hydroseeding utilizing a California native plant palette. This rehabilitation strategy is intended to improve long-term slope stability and health, reduce ongoing maintenance requirements, increase irrigation efficiency, and establish a more sustainable and drought-tolerant landscape environment.

In support of these future improvements, the District will begin establishing reserve funding for the upcoming Capital Improvement Project known as the Crestview Drive and Valley Drive Slope Revitalization Project. Although the maximum allowable assessment rate will not be levied, an assessment increase of 19.34% is proposed for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to begin funding this long-term infrastructure and landscape rehabilitation effort. This proactive funding approach will assist in preserving District assets, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring the continued maintenance and enhancement of District improvements in a fiscally responsible manner.

Page 450 of 695 ends

Landscape Maintenance District No. 5
On January 7, 2004, the City Council established Landscape Maintenance District No. 5 for Tract 30230 (Hawks Crest), consisting of 50 assessable lots. The District was formed to provide for the ongoing maintenance, operation, and enhancement of exterior slopes, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, two park parcels, and Hawks Crest Park. These improvements contribute to the District’s overall aesthetic character, functionality, and recreational amenities.

To support the continued maintenance and enhancement of District assets, the City will begin setting aside Capital Improvement Project (CIP) reserves during the upcoming fiscal year. These reserves are intended to fund future parkway irrigation improvements, including the conversion of portions of the existing irrigation system to drip irrigation technology to improve water efficiency, reduce maintenance demands, and support long-term landscape sustainability.

The proposed Capital Improvement Project also includes the removal and replacement of existing fencing with new commercial-grade white vinyl fencing, modifications and upgrades to existing irrigation infrastructure, installation of drip irrigation components, and restoration of all disturbed areas upon project completion. Collectively, these improvements are intended to enhance operational efficiency, improve the long-term sustainability of landscaped areas, and preserve the visual character and appearance of the District.

Although the maximum allowable assessment rate will not be levied, an assessment increase of 6.69% is proposed for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to begin funding the planned white vinyl fencing and irrigation improvement projects.

Below is a summary of the Operating and CIP Reserve fund information for all five Districts:

LMD No. 3 $113,099 $17,781 $41,224 $59,005
LMD No. 4 $605,507 $329,398 $75,000 $404,398
LMD No. 5 $75,739 $67,675 $22,546 $90,221
The Engineer’s Report includes the estimated fund balance for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2026, and the cash flow funding needs. Each district requires a six-month cash flow reserve to sustain the District from the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) until the City receives from the County of Riverside, its first assessment payment, six months later. If the City does not have this reserve, the general fund reserves must “carry” the District.

The “estimated unfunded needs” is the difference between the “fund balance” and the “needs.”

The City’s Landscape Maintenance Districts continue to provide essential, long-term maintenance and enhancement of landscaped areas, equestrian trails, and open space in the districts. The Preliminary Engineer’s Reports for each district have been prepared to support the continued delivery of these services in a transparent, equitable, and fiscally responsible manner.

The attached Resolutions approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports for each Landscape Maintenance District, along with the accompanying Resolutions declaring the intention to levy annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2026–27 through each district.

These actions ensure the continued funding necessary to maintain district services and preserve the quality of improvements within each area.

Additionally, a Public Hearing date of June 3, 2026, has been set for each district to consider the annual levy of assessments. This hearing will provide property owners within each district the opportunity to review the proposed assessments and provide input prior to final consideration and adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 1
Overview
On February 3, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (Beazer).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Riverside County Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscape masonry, and appurtenant facilities, including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscape, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities in the River Road public right-of-way (parkway area), along the frontage and adjacent to the boundary of the Landscape Maintenance District. A reduced scale plan depicting the improvements is attached hereto. • Landscape maintenance includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. • Hardscape Masonry includes graffiti removal, repairing cracks, heaving and breakage.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 2
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purposes as stated herein. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments, as the City Council deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year. The estimated fund deficit for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2027, is $7,310.57.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications is summarized below.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 4
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Proposition 218 does not define the term “streets,” however, based on the opinions of the public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, it has been determined that streets include all public improvements located within the street rights-of-way. This would include median and parkway landscaping, traffic signals, safety lighting, and street lighting.

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 5
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements, including but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the District.

The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 6

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
In 1999 the property owners approved, via ballot, the formation of the District and the levy of the annual assessments, including an annual increase of 5.00%. In no case may the increase exceed the actual cost of providing the services rendered within and pursuant to the District. The application of the 5.00% adjustment for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 will increase the maximum per parcel assessment from $200.82 to $210.86. The maximum assessment of $210.86 per parcel will be levied.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 1
Overview
On October 20, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 (Western Pacific).

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Riverside County Assessor’s Office. The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscape masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities located within public right-of-way (parkways) and easements (slope) are specifically excluded. Trails and publicly owned parcels park within the boundary of the Assessment District are to be maintained except as specifically excluded.
• Landscape maintenance on Hidden Valley Parkway and Norco Hills Road includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements.
• Slope Maintenance for exterior slopes along Hidden Valley Parkway includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. Also included is fuel modification along Norco Hills Road.

Equestrian trail maintenance includes minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface. Also includes major storm sandbag contingency.

Wetland maintenance (Lot 71) includes trash and debris cleanup, plant replacement, pest and rodent control.

Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase funding in this District, the City removed the old playground equipment in 2024, as it was past its useful lifespan and posed safety risks to residents who use it and was a potential liability for the City.

Starting this year this District is slowly collecting funds for future CIP projects.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $835.00 to $969.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized on the following page.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 5
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 6
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements, including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,”, must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the special benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

Although necessary for the development of these specific properties, some of the improvements also provide a general benefit to the pass-through traffic on the streets where landscape improvements have been installed and

Page 482 of 695 ends

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 7
are being maintained. Based upon the most current average daily trip (ADT) information available, the passthrough traffic represents, on average, 89.8% of the total daily traffic on Hidden Valley Parkway and 44.9% of the total daily traffic on Norco Hills Road, between Hidden Valley Parkway and Parkview Drive. These pass-through traffic numbers result in a general benefit contribution of 89.8% of the landscape maintenance costs along Hidden Valley Parkway and 44.9% of the landscape maintenance costs along Norco Hills Road.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 3.09% for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $893.28 to $920.87. The maximum per parcel assessment of $920.86 will be levied.

1. Plans and Specifications
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 1
Overview
On October 20, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 (Western Pacific).

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the County Assessor’s Office. The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscaping, and masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Equestrian trail maintenance includes minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface. Also includes major storm sandbag contingency.

Wetland maintenance (Lot 71) includes trash and debris cleanup, plant replacement, pest and rodent control.

Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Equestrian Trail Fence Replacement: The City is collecting funds to replace the equestrian trail fencing from wood to vinyl over a 25 year period.

Page 498 of 695 ends

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $1,251.63 to $1,489.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

These improvements have finite life expectancies and will need to be replaced at some point in the future. On an annual basis, any non-expended assessment monies, in excess of the Operating Reserve Contribution, will be transferred to the Capital Replacement Reserve fund until such time as there are sufficient monies to pay for these and/or other unforeseen improvement costs.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

are being maintained. Based upon the most current average daily trip (ADT) information available, the passthrough traffic represents, on average, 89.7% of the total daily traffic on Norco Hills Road, between Parkview Drive and Valley Drive. These pass-through traffic numbers result in a general benefit contribution of 89.7% of the landscape maintenance costs along Norco Hills Road.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 3.09% for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $1,337.91 to $1,379.24. The maximum per parcel assessment of $1,379.24 will be levied.

Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 1
Overview
On August 7, 2002, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch – Tracts 29588 & 29589).

Slopes, Parkways and Trails:
• Slope landscaping – non-irrigated (3.78 acres)
• Slope landscaping – irrigated (13.17 acres)
• Fuel modification areas (17.66 acres)
• Parkway landscaping (1.11 acres)
• Equestrian trails (26.54 acres)
Open Space and Wetland Areas:
• Natural open space – non-irrigated (384.34 acres)
• Wetlands area – non-irrigated (13.04 acres)
Capital Improvement Projects
All of the equestrian trail wood fencing has been replaced with vinyl fencing for a total cost to the District of $919,432. This amount was collected over time in the Capital Replacement Reserve Fund.

Crestview Slope - The existing Acacia redolens plant material is over 25 years old and has entered a stage of significant decline and has exceeded its typical life expectancy. As a result, routine maintenance has become increasingly challenging, particularly with respect to trimming due to plant size and height. Additionally, irrigation system maintenance and repairs have grown more difficult and less efficient.

The City has initiated planning efforts to address these issues through a phased rehabilitation approach. RHA Landscape Architects has been engaged to assist in developing feasible solutions.

Initial cost estimates for a full-scale slope renovation—including complete vegetation removal, new irrigation installation, and replanting with a new variety of Acacia —are approximately $7 million. Due to the high cost, this option is not financially viable.

As an alternative, a more cost-effective phased approach has been proposed. This plan includes clearing the slope in manageable sections, repairing existing irrigation infrastructure as needed, and establishing new vegetation through hydroseeding with a California native plant mix. This strategy reduces the projected cost by approximately $6 million and allows implementation over time, minimizing the financial impact on the district while improving long-term sustainability and maintenance efficiency. The district will be collecting Capital Replacement Reserves over time to fund this project.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 4
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 7

EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS:

To proportionally and equitably assess the special benefits to each parcel, it is necessary to correlate each property’s proportional benefit to other properties that benefit from the improvements and services being funded. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of apportionment uses a basic unit (base value) of assessment that is common to all properties benefiting from the improvements and services provided and assigns a weighted value to each parcel based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to the base value.

Single Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assigned 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel.

Each parcel within Tract Nos. 29588, -2, -3, -4, -5 and Tract Nos. 29589-1, -2, -3 benefit equally from the improvements and have been assigned 1.0 EBU. The parcels within Tract No. 29588-1 receive only the benefit of the trail maintenance and therefore have been assigned 0.22 EBUs.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 3.09% for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The maximum assessment per EBU increased from $1, 422.39 to $1,466.33.

Summary
Replace three turbo blowers associated with the activated sludge process and address any conditions within the existing blower building that negatively impact the operation of the blowers (heat/dust).

Justification
Over the past few years, WRCRWA has experienced failures of the existing HIS Turbo Blowers.

During the most recent failure we were made aware that HSI equipment is no longer supported, and replacement parts are non-existent. Additionally, the blowers have suffered failures associated with dust and heat within the blower room.

Background
WRCRWA is currently equipped with five turbo blowers that support the aerobic biological process. These five blowers vary in age and manufacturer. In 2012 (or so), WRCRWA supplemented its aeration capacity within the oxidation ditch by adding diffuser grids and three turbo blowers. Those original three turbo blowers were manufactured by Houston Service Industries (HSI). HSI was subsequently purchased by Atlas Copco. During the 2017 plant expansion and addition of another biological reactor, two more turbo blowers were installed.

These two “newer” turbo blowers were manufactured by APG-Neuros.

Over the past few years, WRCRWA has experienced failures of the HSI blowers (typically related to the air bearings and dust). In 2023, HSI blower #2 experienced an electrical component failure and subsequent mechanical failure. Through this failure and attempted repair, Atlas Copco has notified WRCRWA that the HSI product line is no longer supported and that replacement parts are non-existent. Atlas Copco manufactures a similar product and as they replace existing HSI blowers, those used units and being scavenged for parts to make repairs on other HSI blowers.

WRCRWA is now faced with needing to replace the three HSI blowers (before failure) to ensure availability of adequate air in support of the biological processes. It is in WRCRWA’s best interest to investigate all blower technologies to ensure integration with the remaining two APG-Neuros blowers along with efficiency and ultimate biological air demands.

Additionally, climate conditions within the blower room will be addressed to minimize heat buildup and reduce dust intrusion into the space thus improving the operability of critical equipment.

During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the ask is for $300,000.

Additional Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2026-2027: $2,948,000

Summary
Replace the medium voltage switchgear and place it in the existing electrical building.

Justification
The existing outdoor medium voltage switchgear is 26 years old and is becoming obsolete. It is due for replacement and should be relocated inside the newly built Electrical Building to provide a better environment conducive to such equipment.

Background
Due to the age of the gear and it being installed outdoors, it is recommended that this equipment be replaced to ensure it can be maintained and operated properly in the foreseeable future. A new electrical building has been constructed and the low voltage switchgear was moved into this building. There is room for a new medium voltage switchgear to be installed in this building also.

Depending on the outcome of the blower investigation, dewatering replacement study and low voltage load study, the medium voltage system might be impacted. The request would be for $190,000 during FY 2025 with replacement being in FY 2027. Design is anticipated to be complete during FY 2026.

During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the ask is for $2,948,000.

Schedule
The design of replacement medium voltage switchgear is anticipated to begin in the summer with construction taking place in FY 2027.

Summary
Replace the three existing Andritz centrifuges.

Justification
Dewatering sludge is a critical component of biosolids management. Over the past few years, the Centrifuges at WRCRWA have experienced numerous failures resulting in decreased operating cycles. Limited dewatering capacity jeopardizes the treatment plant’s ability to maintain regulatory compliance.

Background
During the later stages of the plant expansion design, it was surfaced that the original centrifuges were outdated and no longer serviceable. The design team sought replacement equipment that would meet the needs of the facility while also fitting within the existing footprint of the original equipment. Andritz centrifuges were selected and installed during the plant expansion.

While the existing Andritz centrifuges have met the needs of the facility, they are being pushed to their limits. The centrifuges are being ran at the far end of their speed rating to achieve decent % solids concentration while maintaining desirable centrate quality. The units are being stressed resulting in reduced component life and increasingly severe failures.

With the units suffering a higher rate of mechanical breakdown, very rarely do we have three units available. This has resulted in increased run times for the other two units available. An investigation of best available technologies and based on current WRCRWA sludge conditions, staff recommend replacing the existing centrifuges to gain greater operational redundancy and productivity.

During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the ask is for $1,000,000.

Schedule
A design contract was awarded to N2W to analyze dewatering options for WRCRWA. Staff are currently working through the technical evaluation of dewatering options with anticipated design wrapping up in FY 2026. Construction should begin in FY 2027 and likely carry over into FY 2028.

Summary
Replace the existing treatment plant emergency generator.

Justification
Generator age as well as various component failures over the 26-year period help drive the need for asset replacement consideration.

Background
WRCRWA is equipped with an emergency stand-by generator to provide power to the plant processes should the need arise. The existing Caterpillar brand stand-by plant generator houses a TIER 2 engine that is 26 years old. PSP, weather, accidental and routine power outages have been a recurring theme at the WRCRWA plant. This uncertainty coupled with asset depreciation accompanies a level of risk for our stand-by power reliance. Generator age as well as various component failures over the 26-year period help drive the need for asset replacement consideration. From a risk and resilience perspective, this unit presents a higher potential for failure. Additionally, the emissions rating is very low when compared to the SCAQMD best available technology today (TIER 4F engines).

Schedule
An electrical load study has been completed, and verification of existing and future electrical loads are understood. We are currently pausing this project while pursuing a grant application to offset costs. Once the grant opportunity is confirmed, design of the replacement will proceed.

Summary
Rehabilitate Primary Clarifier No. 2
Justification
Primary clarifier removes the lighter materials that float to the top such as fats, oil and grease (FOG) as well as heavier materials that sink to the bottom (sludge). FOG and the sludge collected from the primary clarifier are conveyed to the anaerobic digesters for additional stabilization. A primary clarifier is considered the most energy efficient way to remove the biochemical oxygen demand of the wastewater, lessening the energy load on downstream processes such as bioreactors and blower systems. Maintaining the primary clarifiers in well-functioning order would reduce the overall energy footprint of the plant as well as increase the likelihood of maintaining NPDES and AQMD permit compliance.

Background
Primary Clarifier No. 2 is one of two 95-feet diameter primary clarifiers that were constructed in 2017 and has been in service for 8 years. During a routine preventative maintenance inspection after cleaning, the staff discovered a substantial level of corrosion on the sludge collection arms, scum baffle and center supporting ring. A consultant was hired to document the existing condition and to validate staff observations. Staff, along with the consultant, recommend rehabilitating Primary Clarifier No. 2 which consists of repairing/replacing corroded structural members of the sludge collection system, center ring, and scum baffle along with sandblasting and recoating all steel elements.

Schedule
Albert A. Webb and Associates has been awarded a contract engineering support for the rehabilitation of Primary Clarifier #2. WRCRWA has awarded a purchase order to WesTech to provide for the purchase of a new clarifier drive assembly. We anticipate construction kicking off in late FY 2026 and carrying over into FY 2027.

Additional Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2026-2027: $500,000

Summary
Construct a Maintenance shop/Warehouse to support repair of plant equipment and storage of spare parts necessary to keep the treatment plant operational.

Justification
The addition of a maintenance shop/warehouse building will provide ample space on site for performing maintenance and repairs of equipment at the existing plant site along with protected storage of spare parts. Currently there is a relatively small area attached to the Administration Building that provides some space for parts storage and maintenance of equipment. The space is not large enough for either storage or maintenance activities. A dedicated facility is required to provide sufficient area for both of these functions.

Background
Originally, the WRCRWA treatment plant was built with a small maintenance shop/storage area at the back of the administration building. This space was envisioned to support the original facility. Over time, the facility has grown both in size (expanded from 8.0 MGD to 14.0 MGD) while also growing in complexity. WRCRWA has also noticed changes in availability of spare parts needed to support the maintenance and repair of equipment critical to the treatment plant’s operation. This has driven a significant investment by WRCRWA in spare parts.

WRCRWA has outgrown the original space provided for maintenance and storage. Staff have been utilizing all available indoor space throughout the facility for storage as well as brought in several storage containers to help house spare parts and allowing the original space to be used for maintenance activities.

During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the ask is for $500,000.

Schedule
The project is planned to kick off in July 2026. This initial phase would cover design and site conditions with construction anticipated the following year.

Additional Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2026-2027: $450,000

Summary
WRCRWA, under the administrative authority of Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), is requesting a field condition assessment of the WRCRWA wastewater treatment sewer conveyance system pipeline segments and manholes from the Arizona flume to the South Regional Pump Station notwithstanding any related siphons or force mains.

Justification
To protect system operations, maintain regulatory compliance related to the Sewer System Management Plan, and to ensure that WRCRWA is capable of forecasting asset failures as well as establishing appropriate asset replacement reserves, WRCRWA will evaluate, and as well as grade, based on field evaluation, the existing asset condition for 6.8 miles of shared sewage trunk line segments and manholes.

Background
As part of the linear asset management program, condition assessments are required to meet compliance requirements, understand current needs and prepare for future costs. This conveyance system has never had formal condition assessment. This bassline information will provide member agencies with a clear understanding of the maintenance needs.

During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the ask is for $450,000.

Schedule
This project was published on Planet Bids with only one firm proposing. Staff are currently working out details and will come back to the WRCRWA Board for award of contract. We anticipate the condition assessment start in late FY 2026.
