None of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163 have occurred. Accordingly, taking into consideration the analysis in the FEIR, the City Council finds that the Development Agreement is within the envelope of the FEIR prepared for the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan Project and no further environmental review is required.
Section 3.Based on the staff report, public comments, the above recitals, and all other evidence in the record, the City Council finds as follows:

housing within their financial means; and (4) achieve an assisted housing supply that provides a full range of affordable ownership and rental housing opportunities. The proposed Development Agreement would allow for the development of new residential units with at least forty percent (40%) being designated as affordable.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
To ensure the success of this newsletter, Consultant will first collaborate closely with the City of Norwalk to obtain a thorough understanding of the design elements and art files to be submitted. If there is anything that needs improving or simplification, the vendor will provide guidance to the City to ensure a high-quality print-ready file every time. This will allow me to preset an efficient production plan that aligns with your vision.
To meet the requirements of the RFP, we will employ a three-step process:
1: Work with your design team to prepare proofs for printing and update USPS delivery statistics to mailing data.
2: Schedule print production with partner suppliers.
3: Prepare the Norwalk Now and Norwalk’s Future newsletters for fast and efficient delivery to City Hall and corresponding Post Office.
Once the design is finalized, Consultant will work with your design team to resolve any challenges with file preparation. Upon establishing that your art files are optimal for printing we will then move into the approval stage.
A hard copy digital proof will be presented to the city for final approval. Any minor corrections or updates can be approved via email with a PDF proof or if the city requires a hard copy proof, an updated proof will be presented for approval. Once the newsletter is approved, Consultant will oversee press approval as the newsletter is printing to insure color on our state-of-the-art UV press or heat-set web press. This is to ensure the highest quality output for every newsletter while remaining cost-effective. My experienced press technicians will also oversee the production process, performing regular quality control checks to ensure accuracy and consistency. Upon completion of the printing process, we will then trim and fold the Norwalk Now newsletter to its final size (17” x 22”, quarter-fold to 8.5” x 11”) and the Norwalk’s Future to its final size (17”x11”, half fold to 8.5”x11”), and bundle it in convenient bundles matched to the mailing data.
Moving on to the mailing process. Consultant will carefully update the mailing data during the approval stage to expedite a fast and efficient simplified mailing. This includes production of the facing slips that identify every bundle, and every carrier route for the City of Norwalk, ensuring a complete, and accurate mailing, meeting compliance with US Postal regulations. Consultant will then prepare all postal forms required by the post office, insuring weight and counts to verify delivery to the bulk mail unit.
Consultant will also build a strong relationship with your post office bulk mail clerk to ensure prompt delivery of your newsletters to your residents. This Includes verifying postage funds are present in the City of Norwalk postal permit prior to printing. – to include delivery of postage funds from City Hall to the USPS.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPRESSED
NATURAL GAS STATION
Background:
On September 3, 2013, the City Council approved an agreement with Clean Energy Fuels (Clean Energy) to construct a design-build Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicle Fueling Station that included Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services of the CNG station. The last term extension with Clean Energy for O&M services expires on June 30, 2025. Clean Energy has provided Norwalk Transit System (NTS) with reliable maintenance services for its CNG Station which support the CNG buses and Public Services CNG powered trucks. Therefore, to ensure service continuity and functionality of the CNG Station, NTS is seeking a sole source procurement agreement with Clean Energy for O&M services for five years which include comprehensive O&M services and maintenance of all related electrical systems, fuel hoses, gas monitoring system, etc. Clean Energy is proposing a monthly inspection fee of $3,359.79 and a per therm charge of $0.33594 for the first year with annual CPI increases of 3% for years two through five. The table below provides a financial breakdown:
City Council May 6, 2025

3 2
Clean Energy has designed and constructed numerous CNG fueling stations and currently provides maintenance to many CNG fueling stations including City of Gardena, City of Montebello, and Foothill Transit. Due to Clean Energy’s large installed base of these compressors, Clean Energy has an extensive supply of compressor parts as well as a vast knowledge of maintaining this equipment. This will ensure continuity to provide CNG fuel to the City’s CNG powered buses and trucks.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of O&M services for the CNG station for year one is estimated to be approximately $169,654.38 and has been included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025/26 Transportation Department budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2 FOR ELECTRICAL WORK
Background:
Improving the electrical system was necessary as part of the ongoing upgrades to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to ensure optimal functionality and compliance with current standards.
HC Electric has successfully met all expectations outlined in the initial scope of work, which recapped mandatory EOC electrical improvements detailed in Request for Proposal 24-2102- 003. Additionally, they completed extra work requested for a breakout meeting area in the EOC as detailed in the first contract amendment.
This second amendment addresses the addition of power junction boxes needed for the exit signs in our inventory previously purchased for specific locations. The amendment also includes corrective work designed to repair paint damage and ceiling tiles affected by electrical work completed before the HC Electric project.
The funds required for this additional work are accounted for by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which has allocated resources specifically for EOC upgrades. Utilizing ARPA funds will ensure the project will not affect the City’s general budget.

Municipal Program
Agreement No.2024MP55
EXHIBIT C – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Municipalities shall consider incorporation of Nature-based solutions (NBS) into their projects. NBS refers to the
sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking socio-environmental challenges, including climate change,
water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental
management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this guidance document may be
expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.
The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow, detain, infiltrate or filter
Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the
permeability of Impermeable Areas; protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian
habitat and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil through composting,
mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for native species. NBS may also be designed to provide
additional benefits such as sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing parks
and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS include Projects that mimic natural
processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may capture
stormwater to improve water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth utilizing
natural processes.
Municipalities are to include in each Annual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and how their project achieves a
good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual
Progress/ Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each
method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class.
Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each
method, to facilitate District tracking of methods being utilized.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT - ENGINEERING DIVISION STAFF AUGMENTATION Background:
The Engineering Division (ED) is currently experiencing a surge in activities which include several new street projects funded through various funds such as Senate Bill (SB)-1, Measures M and R Bonds, etc.; numerous Federally funded Traffic Signal Improvement Projects; City Council priorities and various parks improvements citywide.
To ensure continuous successful and effective management of the ED, staff recommend hiring a consultant to provide staff augmentation for Civil Engineer Assistant services to the ED through July 31, 2025. Consultant will plan, organize, and manage the activity assignments under direction of the Engineering Division Manager.
On September 20, 2024, the Engineering Division issued a request to prequalified consulting firms with the necessary subject expertise, licenses, resources and certifications to provide the requested staff augmentation. Three proposals were received from Transtech, Willdan Engineering, and RKA Consulting Group. Proposals were received from each of the firms.
Consultant will provide project management and project implementation and technical and functional support activities including technical as support staff throughout the ED. Consultant shall assist in the preparation, coordination, and management of the ED project implementation efforts; assist in the solicitation and procurement of professional and construction services; assist in the administration of various Capital Improvement Projects; and assist in the implementation of the City’s budget and Capital Improvement Program. Consultant will also assist in the development, planning, design, and construction administration of cooperatively funded projects and programs under the direction of the Engineering Division Manager.

Staff reviewed the submittals and determined that proposal from Transtech Engineers Inc. (Transtech) was most qualified for the requested services. Staff recommends award of amendment to Professional Services Agreement to Transtech for a lump sum of $120,920 to provide engineering staff augmentation services for a period of 4 months or until the Engineering Division can hire full time staff to fill vacant positions. Also, based on project scheduling (design, construction, and close out efforts), the required staff augmentation services to the Engineering Division efforts are anticipated to extend beyond July 11, 2025. This Professional Services Agreement includes the option to extend the contract through August 31, 2025, for an additional cost of $156,680, which would be included in the FY 2025/26 budget.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed fee for these services shall not exceed $120,920 and is estimated to cover services through July 11, 2025. Funding will be provided from staff savings of two vacant Full- Time positions (Assistant Engineer and Engineer Technician) and available Contract Services and Personnel funds.

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 25-15 - FIRST AMENDMENT TO GROUND LEASE
AGREEMENT FOR THE CIVIC CENTER PARKING GARAGE
Background:
In 1995, the City and the County of Los Angeles (“County”) entered into a long-term Ground Lease Agreement for the Norwalk Civic Center Parking Garage (“Lease Agreement”). The County leases to the City real property, as more particularly described in Attachment 3.
Concurrently, with the Lease Agreement the City and County entered into an Operating Agreement for the Norwalk Civic Center Parking Structure (Parking Structure); the City constructed and operates the Parking Structure on County premise. The Lease Agreement provided the City with two consecutive lease options to renew the initial term, which were exercised and extend the term until May 8, 2060.
In 2022, City Council approved the Norwalk Entertainment District – Civic Center Specific Plan (“Plan”) as amended for the development and construction of a mixed use development (the “Mixed-Use Project”) consisting of (i) up to three hundred fifty (350) residential units, (ii) up to one hundred ten thousand (110,000) square feet of commercial uses, which may include, but not be limited to, food and beverage establishments, retail, health and wellness facilities, and grocery or supermarket uses, and (iii) approximately one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet of ground-floor open space/plaza area that is publicly accessible but privately maintained and operated. The Mixed-Use Project, which will be developed in phases by one or more affiliates of Primestor is anticipated to provide not less than the minimum number of vehicle parking spaces as required by the Plan.
The current Lease Agreement provides the County with an exclusive right to use four hundred fifty (450) parking spaces within the parking structure between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays and a non-exclusive right to use an additional four hundred fifty (450) parking spaces within the parking structure between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

on non-holiday weekdays. To provide parking spaces to users of the Mixed-Use Project in the proposed amendment the County has agreed to relinquish its exclusive rights to use one hundred (100) vehicle parking spaces and its non-exclusive rights to use fifty (50) vehicle parking spaces in the Parking Structure.
The First Amendment to Ground Lease Agreement consists of some of the following contract provisions:
- (1) extend the term of the of the Lease Agreement until May 8, 2094; - (2) revise the County’s rights to use vehicle parking spaces in the Parking Structure; - (3) eliminate early termination rights by County and City; and - (4) make such other modifications and amendments to the Lease Agreement Environmental Review:
The proposed Lease Amendment is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this activity will not have a significant effect on the environment per Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will receive sales taxes, property taxes, and percentage rent payments from the Mixed- Use Project. Monthly payments will be submitted to the County as stipulated in the First Amendment to the Ground Lease Agreement and monthly project operating expenses for the relinquished parking spaces shall be paid by Primestor.

Background:
These watermain improvements were identified as part of the 2015 Water Master Plan Study.
On March 18, 2025, staff advertised a Notice Inviting Bids for City Project No. 7449, Water Main and Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI/AMR) Meter Replacements, and Project No. 7937, Local Streets Rehabilitation Program Zone 31 Asphalt Improvements (project).

Watermain projects typically only replace the pavement section above the new watermain, plus two additional feet of trench width. Under this project, per the attached map, the highlighted streets were to be resurfaced as part of Project No. 7937 but were not resurfaced in anticipation of this project. The watermain improvements would disturb the fresh pavement work and reduce the pavement service life, which is typically for 15-20 years.
At its regularly scheduled April 15, 2025, meeting, City Council awarded a construction contract (CIP No. 7938) for concrete repairs/replacements only within Zone 31. As part of this project, these streets will be resurfaced following completion of the watermain improvements. Staff recommends Gas Tax and Street Renovation funds for the pavement work, which are eligible for street improvement work.
Project No. 7449 and Project No. 7937
On April 14, 2025, the City received 10 sealed bids. Due to missing bid bond submission, Williams Pipeline Contractors, Inc. has been disqualified, and the revised ranking is as follows:

Derek Donnell, Manager of Transit Operations
Janet Welde, Special Projects Coordinator
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - SAFETY AND SECURITY
REPORTING PLATFORM
Background:
Norwalk Transit System (NTS) is seeking to enter into an agreement with ELERTS Corporation (ELERTS) to provide a mobile communication APP system for passengers to participate in safety and security reporting of incidents voluntarily via ELERTS on board NTS buses. ELERTS specializes in a crowd-sourced incident reporting system via a mobile APP called “See Something Say Something” (See Say). This APP will allow NTS to receive early alerts of problem situations from passengers. According to the National Transit Database (NTD), both major and minor assaults on transit workers have tripled since 2007 with most of these assaults happening post COVID pandemic. NTS has experienced several assaults on bus drivers and unruly behavior from passengers. Passengers would be able to use real-time ELERTS to notify NTS staff of any potential unruly patron to assist NTS Dispatch in notifying Public Safety/Law Enforcement in advance of a potential threat to bus operators and passengers.
The See Say platform provides discretion and avoids potential escalation of a situation when a phone call is not an option to report an aggressive individual that is nearby. It will also enable NTS to monitor troublemakers and allows passengers to actively participate in creating a safer transit environment.
The See Say platform is the only incident reporting solution that will integrate with NTS’ current Avail Technologies, Inc. Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)/Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) system to identify the buses’ location in real time to allow NTS to respond effectively to incidents.
