SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7936 - ACCEPT WORK FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDED CURB RAMP REPLACEMENTS – ENGINEERS
REPORT 24-01
Background:

On February 6, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to Kalban, Inc. (Santa Clarita) in the amount of $573,400 which included a contingency of $26,600. The project work is in eligible Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) census tracts within citywide Pavement Management Zones 13, 21, 22, 28, and 29 as shown on the attached map.

The scope of work included the replacement of existing corner access ramps with current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Additional work in the amount of $27,185 was required for added square footage for adjacent sidewalks and linear footage for curb and gutters to construct the ramps to compliance standards. Furthermore, there was a reduction to the quantity of ramps which produced a savings of $24,400 due to unforeseen conditions (e.g., groundwater monitoring wells or soil vapor probes in the parkway, etc.). The final project cost was $576,185.

The project was successfully completed in accordance with approved plans and specifications on March 22, 2024.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 5 FOR ON-CALL COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Background:

On November 7, 2023, Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) was awarded a contract to continue providing on-call Community Development Consultant and Additional Service to the City. In 2021, the City sent Request for Proposals (RFP) for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance Services for the California Youth Authority property, City Project No. 7859, to four firms from City’s on-call consultant list: Infrastructure Engineers, LSA Associates, Inc., Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc., and Michael Baker International, Inc. The environmental analysis was needed to ensure that the entire CEQA process is conducted in a comprehensive manner and concurrently with the entitlements.

The proposal submitted by MBI provided the most experienced staff with similar projects, offers a “one-stop-shop” – all services associated with this project can be provided by in-house staff, the scope of work is well defined, and allows for additional meetings required for the project. Staff requested a revised proposal from MBI to include additional meetings and deliverables anticipated for the project including a water supply assessment, expansion of the traffic study to include additional intersections. In addition, a 15% contingency was added to cover the expenses of additional studies that may be required. The revised proposal increased the estimated fee to $359,755. The City entered into a professional services agreement with MBI on January 25, 2021 to provide professional on-call planning and building services. The maximum compensation for the services is $150,000 annually and it is a three-year contract term. Therefore an amendment to modify the contract compensation was approved for the services proposed in the scope of work for the project. The contract as amended, increased the compensation to $384,755 and has a term ending of November 30, 2024 for the project.

3 MBI also currently provides professional services to the Norwalk Housing Authority (NHA) with the preparation of the Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plans and the continued operation and management of the various U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded Housing Authority Programs. The PHA Administrative plan is a comprehensive guide to the PHA policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting the City’s housing needs goals. To ensure tasks associated with operations and reporting are performed in a timely fashion and compliant with all federal regulations, the NHA depends on MBI for guidance and assistance with the following tasks not to exceed $48,950:

PHA Plans:
• Update the Norwalk Housing Authority’s (NHA) Administrative Plan • Prepare the NHA 5 Year Consolidated Plan
• Prepare the NHA Annual Action Plan
Administration:

Renew/Prepare HUD Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project Based Voucher (PBV) Contracts
MBI will be further assisting CDBG staff with the preparation of the City’s 2025-2029 Five Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), First Year Annual Action Plan (AAP), and updated Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), and a Housing Summit. MBI’s experience in preparation of these documents and continued support to City staff with the program administration of the CDBG and HOME programs will ensure successful and timely preparation of the Con Plan, AI, and the first-year AAP, which consist of the following tasks not to exceed $57,420:
• Task 1 - Project Kick-Off and Coordination: meet with City staff to identify key delivery dates and all associated Community Outreach.
• Task 2 - Data Analysis: Collection and analysis of data collected from the US Census/ACS, organizations identified as key stakeholders, the City, and regional groups. • Task 3 - Citizen Participation and Consultation: MBI staff will prepare and conduct outreach and hold public meetings and hearings as required by HUD regulations. MBI will develop promotional and meeting materials and provide guidance on even structure and logistics for the following:
✓ Consultation and Public Meetings – in person with City facilitating reasonable accommodations and translation services or virtual public meetings, if requested. ✓ Community Meeting/Public Hearings – Two (2) community meetings will be facilitated to collect community input on housing and community needs. One public hearing will be held with an optional additional public hearing if needed.

City Council May 7, 2024
Agreement Amendment No. 5 – Michael Baker International Page No. 3 8 4
3 ✓ Consultation Interviews and focus Groups – A minimum of Two (2) stakeholder group interviews will be conducted to assist the project team gather qualitative information to validate and expand on the data analysis findings and to gather additional local knowledge that may not be evident through baseline analysis. ✓ Housing Summit
✓ Community and Stakeholder Survey
✓ Community Outreach and Stakeholder Survey/Meeting Responses Report • Task 4 - Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Report • Task 5 - Consolidated Plan
• Task 6 - First-Year annual action plan
• Task 7 - IDIS input
Furthermore, since its inception in 2023, the contract with MBI has offset staff shortages in the Planning division due to resignations. The continued need for on-call professional services are necessary in order to maintain service levels during staff changes, provide expedited entitlement processing for priority projects, and maintain service levels. Community Development staff have been working diligently to fill vacant positions in the department.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for the California Youth Authority project for the CEQA Compliance Services will come from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund in the amount of $384,755. Due to personnel cost savings from vacant Community Development Department positions there is additional funding available in the current Fiscal Year 2023/24 Adopted Budget for the on-call services. The CDBG and HOME programs are funded solely by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The City’s Local Streets Rehabilitation Program identifies areas within the City (Zones) where road repairs will be performed using Measure M and Measure R funding. These projects qualify for funding under the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s guidelines for both Measure R and Measure M. Zone 19 is among the zones identified for street rehabilitation.

On February 15, 2022, the City awarded an Agreement to Onward Engineering for the design of Capital Improvement Project No. 7929 – Local Street Rehabilitation Zone 19 Phase 2.

The City is ready to proceed with Phase II and has received a proposal from Onward to provide design services for Zone 19 Phase 2 in the amount of is $340,400. The firm’s team consists of a project manager, civil engineer, design engineer, surveyors, geotechnical engineers, and support staff. To ensure Onward work progress and timely resolution of conflicts, the firm will be monitored by the City Engineer to protect the City’s interests.

On August 12, 2022, the City executed Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Onward Engineering for Construction Management services for CIP Project No. 7927 – Local Street Rehabilitation Zone 3 Phase 1.

Section 4. Except as expressly modified or supplemented by this Seventh Amendment, all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Seventh Amendment and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this Seventh Amendment shall control.

The Parties, through their respective authorized representatives, are signing this Seventh Amendment on the date stated in the introductory clause.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR RENOVATION OF SOCIAL

SERVICES BUILDING
Background:

As part of the Social Services Center’s 50 th Anniversary, the building is receiving a makeover both inside and outside. Inside, the walls will be repainted, new flooring will be installed throughout, new storage cabinets will be purchased, cubicles that have worn out will be replaced and additional ones will be installed.

For the purchase and installation of the cubicles, following research, staff chose Sierra School Equipment Company, which is part of the OMNIA Partners co-operative agreement. 10 cubicles and three storage cabinets will be purchased and installed. The inclusive quote is currently $79,356. This amount may be adjusted due to date of delivery and installation. Increase in delivery costs may be as high as an addition $7,500.

For the installation of new flooring, which will necessitate the removal of the current furniture, staff reached out to several vendors. Staff chose to proceed with Bob Mardigian Floor Covering, a vendor who has worked with the City in the past. The current amount quoted is $39,270. This amount may need to be adjusted depending on the condition of the subflooring.

Staff chose Quad County Painting, Inc., also a vendor who has been utilized for past city projects, to paint the walls. The contractor will handle not only painting the inside of the building, but also the outside. The current estimated cost is $57,900.

SUBJECT: ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROJECT APPROVAL - AQUATICS PAVILION

MOSAIC MURAL
Background:

The City’s Art in Public Places Program provides a collection of permanent outdoor sculptures and artwork throughout the City. Developments having a project cost exceeding five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars are subject to a one percent contribution to the program. The Art in Public Places fund is used to create artistic enhancements within the community that fall within the Program guidelines.

The Art in Public Places Committee (Committee) has reviewed a proposal from local artist, Lindsay Parks, who recently displayed her work at the Mary Paxon Gallery and participated in the City’s Artastic event. She has completed many mosaic projects, including several for the Downey Unified School District where she is employed and included students and one for the City of Downey. Her work consists of drawing out the design and then placing the mosaic pieces to finish the mural. Since this piece will be placed at the pool, staff and the Committee asked Ms. Parks for a design featuring elements having to do with water. Ms. Parks designed a beautiful sea horse in the ocean surrounded by waving green underwater plant life. The proposed design is attached to this report as Attachment No. 1. As part of this project, the Committee is excited to announce that Ms. Parks was asked to involve youth from the community to assist in placing the tiles to create the final design. The project will be shared through the City’s social media and request youth volunteers ages 8-18 to participate in the project. Ms.

Parks will provide safety gear and instruction to the youth volunteers.

The piece will be comprised of three 30 1/2” x 88” panels placed between the two outdoor shower enclosures as shown in Attachment No. 2. As the City is coming upon swim season the design and accrual of the materials and pre-cut tiles will begin now, but the actual installation of the piece will be in September after the Aquatic Pavilion becomes less busy. Design and scheduling have been shared with the Parks and Recreation staff.

BY: James C. Parker, Executive Director of Regional Transportation Theresa Clark, Transit Administration Officer
Derek Donnell, Manager of Transit Operations
SUBJECT: RESTORATION OF NORWALK TRANSIT SYSTEM FIXED-ROUTE SERVICE Background:

Norwalk Transit System (NTS) currently provides municipal fixed-route bus service on six routes within the southeast region of Los Angeles County including the cities of Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, El Monte, La Habra, La Mirada, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, South El Monte, Whittier, and unincorporated Los Angeles County.

On February 15, 2022, City Council approved NTS implementing temporary fixed-route service adjustments, due to the COVID-19 pandemic creating bus operator shortages within the transit industry as it related to the number of bus operators available to provide reliable fixed-route transit service. These temporary adjustments included the following:
• NTS Route 1 – Reduced the number of assigned buses from six to five which resulted in the reduction in frequency of service (headways) from buses arriving every 30 minutes to buses estimated arrival times of every 37 minutes.
• NTS Route 4 – Discontinued express bus service which provided supplementary support to the regular Route 4 buses for commuter rail passengers to travel non-stop between the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Commuter Rail Station and the Metro C Line (formally Green Line) Light Rail Station.
• NTS Route 7 – Reduced the frequency of service (headways) from buses arriving every 45 – 50 minutes to buses estimated arrival times of every 60 minutes. Also, discontinued the shuttle service for passengers traveling between the El Monte Bus Station and Rio Hondo College.

City Council May 7, 2024
Restoration of Norwalk Transit System Fixed-Route Service Page No. 2 8 4
1 Proposed Restoration of Service:

These temporary changes were enacted to reduce the number of bus operators required to cover weekday fixed-route assignments and stabilize delivery of fixed-route service. NTS’ enhanced recruiting efforts and streamlined on-boarding process has filled most vacancies as it relates to Bus Operators. This will allow NTS to restore fixed-route services in response to patrons’ request for more frequent service as well as steadily post-COVID-19 ridership increases.

Therefore, NTS is proposing the following:
• NTS Route 4 – Restore express bus service for commuter rail passengers to travel non- stop between the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Commuter Rail Station and the Metro C Line (formally Green Line) Light Rail Station.
• NTS Route 7 – Increase the frequency of service (headways) for buses for estimated arrival times of every 40 minutes. Also, restore the shuttle service for passengers traveling between the El Monte Bus Station and Rio Hondo College will not be necessary based on current demand for service.

This restoral of NTS fixed-route services is tentatively scheduled to take effect Sunday, June 23, 2024.

Restoration of NTS Route 1 increasing buses to six in order to increase frequency of service (headways) from buses to arrive every 30 minutes will be implemented at mid-year Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25.

Fiscal Impact:

The recommended fixed-route service adjustments estimated cost have been included in the proposed FY 2024/25 Transportation Department budget.

Citizens Advised:

Outreach efforts to stakeholders and NTS patrons will include the following activities:
• Notice of restoration of NTS fixed-route services will be published in the Norwalk Now and posted on the NTS webpage, along with social media platforms. • Airing of the restoration of NTS fixed-route services in English and Spanish on Norwalk’s cable television station.
• Notices in English and Spanish posted on all NTS fixed-route buses and bus stops. • Letters mailed to stakeholders, including local school districts, elected officials, etc.; and affected municipal transit agencies.

Restoration of Norwalk Transit System Fixed-Route Service Page No. 3 8 4
1 Federal Transit Administration, Title VI Compliance, requires a public hearing and environmental justice equity analysis for all service changes that meet the definition of a Major Service Change. These changes did not meet the criteria for a Major Service Change, therefore, no public hearing or analysis was required.

Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:

The recommended action will further the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 1, Provide High Quality Customer Service to the Community Objective 1.1 Promote customer-focused culture that prizes assessable, consistent and predictable delivery of service.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the proposed restoration of NTS fixed-route service for Route Nos. 4 and 7; effective Sunday, June 23, 2024 and Route No. 1 at mid-year.

SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT - RESOLUTION NO. 24-20 - BUDGET

AMENDMENT - FIRESTONE BOULEVARD BETWEEN STUDEBAKER

AND IMPERIAL HIGHWAY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT - PROJECT
NO. 7196
Background:

On December 11, 2023 staff issued an invitation for Bids for the construction of Firestone Boulevard Improvements Project No. 7196. The project area is Firestone Boulevard from Studebaker Road to Imperial Highway.

The project would upgrade the existing section of Firestone Boulevard from 4-lanes of traffic (two in each direction) and a landscaped raised median to three lanes in each direction with a center median. The project includes widening of the existing bridge segment over the Union Pacific Railroad line and adjacent embankment slopes.

Furthermore, the project also includes multi-modal improvements with the installation of on- street (Class II and Class III) bicycle facilities; traffic signal improvements; street lighting; retaining walls to accommodate the additional roadway width; pavement reconstruction; landscape and irrigation improvements; and pedestrian Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. Dual left turn lanes are planned at Studebaker Road, and Imperial Highway.

Numerous affected, existing driveways along with pedestrian ramps at the intersections would be reconstructed.

The project is estimated to take two years to complete. For this project, the improvements will occur in two stages. Stage 1 improvements consist of road improvements between Imperial Highway and Studebaker Road with the exception of the bridge overcrossing of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Stage 2 consists of the bridge overcrossing improvements over the UPRR railroad right of way. On February 20, 2024, the City received 2 bids with the following results:
