Furkan Cetinkale, Associate Engineer (Contract staff)
SUBJECT: AGREEMENTS FOR - ON-CALL CITYWIDE GRANT MANAGEMENT SERVICES, ENGINEERS REPORT NO. 25-18
Background:

The City actively pursues a wide range of local, regional, state, and federal grant opportunities to supplement its General Fund and enhance delivery of capital improvement projects, transportation upgrades, community development, public safety initiatives, and environmental sustainability efforts. To ensure continued success in securing competitive grant funding, the City has recognized the need for technical expertise and dedicated support in identifying, applying for, and managing these grants in a timely and compliant manner.

To support Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and other Citywide initiatives, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. 25-818) on June 3, 2025, via the City's PlanetBids portal, seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide on-call Citywide Grant Management Services.

The purpose of the RFP is to establish a shortlist of experienced consultants capable of supporting grant identification, strategy development, application preparation, and post-award compliance across multiple departments. Staff are seeking contracts with three firms to ensure flexibility and coverage across project types. The resulting contracts will be for an initial three- year term, with two optional one-year extensions, and services will be assigned on an as-needed basis through individual task orders.

On July 15, 2025, the City received proposals from sixteen firms. Staff examined and reviewed the submitted proposals based on several factors including technical knowledge, the proposed team's experiences, scope of work and qualifications, and fee schedule. 4 City Council August 19, 2025
Award Agreement Page No. 2
ward on the evaluation process, the City shortlisted the following three frms for on-all contract Selected Firms

With the solicitation/selection process complete, a "pool" of consultants for the needed services will be established if approved by City Council. Staff will request proposals from those firms with the subiect matter expertise for the requested/needed services on an "as needed basis." Fiscal Impact:

Contract grant management services funding is included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Public Services budget. No additional budget amendment is requested at this time. Appropriate funds will accompany the recommendation for award of contract for the specific on-call services.

Citizens Advised:

Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:

The recommended actions will further the City's Strategic Plan Goal 2: Invest in Street Infrastructure.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve agreements with the three qualified firms listed above to provide on-call grant management services for a term of three years from the date of execution; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, as well as any extensions or amendments provided there is funding available in the budget on behalf of the City, in forms approved by the City Attorney.

City Council Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Glen W.C. Kau, P.E., Director of Public Services/City Engineer SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE OF ENGINEERING DIVISION - AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 6, ENGINEERS REPORT NO. 25-19
Background:

On November 18, 2021, the City entered into an Agreement with Mario Mera Consulting (Consultant) to provide project management and technical support services to the Engineering Division (ED) in response to increased workload demands. As project delivery needs have remained high, subsequent amendments have extended the agreement to maintain continuity of services. The most recent Amendment No. 5, approved on October 30, 2024, extended services through Fiscal Year (FY.) 2024/25.

The Consultant continues to provide supervision assistance over the Engineering Division, and shall: provide technical and functional assistance, including para-professional and technical support; assist in the preparation, coordination, and management of the ED's operating and capital improvement budgets; evaluate needs and develop schedules for long-range public infrastructure projects; support the implementation of the City's Capital Improvement Program; serve as liaison with other governmental agencies on cooperatively funded projects; and provide regular updates to the Director of Public Services/City Engineer to support timely and informed decision-making.

Currently, the City is administering federally funded traffic safety improvement projects under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), which have experienced unforeseen field conditions including utility conflicts, schedule disruptions, and coordination delays-particularly with Southern California Edison (SCE). These issues have extended the construction schedule and increased the level of effort required for daily oversight, documentation, and agency coordination. Similar to Project No. 7232, , unforeseen conditions, and added work, the HSIP projects have necessitated additional construction management and inspection services beyond the original scope.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve Amendment No. 6 to the agreement with Mario Mera Consulting to continue the scope of work of professional services in an amount not to exceed $8,550.00, which will increase the agreement amount from $320,500, not to exceed $329,050; and authorize the City Manager to execute amendment provided there is funding in the budget, on behalf of the City, in a form approved by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - CITYWIDE INSPECTION SERVICES - ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 25-20
Background:

On June 18, 2024, an Agreement for Citywide Inspection Services was approved between the City and Onward Engineering for an initial term of three years with two optional one-yea xtensions. The services include inspection of encroachment permits within the public right-of way to ensure compliance and that all work is completed properly to construction specifications and codes. The agreement is budgeted for $170,000 annually.

Due to the increase in the number of permits processed under the above services during the past year, the contract amount had been expended prior to the end of Fiscal Year 2024/25. To close out the remaining invoices of Fiscal Year 2024/25, and to ensure continued support of services provided throughout the remainder of the fiscal year, staff recommends Amendment No. 1 to increase the annual budget to $200,000.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding to support this amendment was included in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

The City of Norwalk, with a population of approximately 103,000, faces significant traffic safety challenges.

Vulnerable groups, including 13.3% seniors and 6.1% individuals with disabilities, are at increased risk for traffic-related incidents. Additionally, 64.8% of the population speaks a language other than English at home, which may create barriers to accessing traffic safety information.

Traffic crashes, especially in high-foot-traffic areas such as school zones, parks, and intersections, are a major concern. In 2021, five fatal crashes, including two pedestrian fatalities, highlighted the risks to both pedestrians and cyclists. Many of these areas lack adequate pedestrian infrastructure, such as crosswalks and signals, which further exacerbates the issue.

To address these concerns, Norwalk is implementing a comprehensive safety program that includes deploying a radar trailer to monitor speeding, distributing helmets, and hosting workshops for youth and seniors. Increased traffic enforcement will focus on moving violations, and infrastructure improvements will include adding crosswalks and pedestrian signals. Community outreach efforts, including distributing safety materials and collaborating with local organizations, will foster a culture of safety. These initiatives aim to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities, particularly for vulnerable populations, and promote safer roads for pedestrians and cyclists.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

In 2021, Norwalk experienced five fatal crashes, including two pedestrian fatalities, underscoring the ongoing risks to pedestrians and cyclists. A significant portion of these incidents occurred in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as school zones, parks, and major intersections. Data shows that vulnerable groups, including children under 15 and seniors over 65, are particularly affected. In 2021, two fatal pedestrian crashes involved individuals in these age groups, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in these demographics.

Additionally, speeding continues to be a major contributing factor to traffic-related injuries. In areas where pedestrian traffic is highest, such as near schools and busy intersections, speeding increases the likelihood and severity of crashes. Despite efforts to improve infrastructure, high traffic volumes and inadequate pedestrian crossings remain key challenges, contributing to a higher frequency of pedestrian and cyclist injuries.

To address these issues, Norwalk plans to focus on enhanced traffic safety education, including the deployment of a radar trailer to monitor speeding. The city will also continue efforts to improve pedestrian infrastructure, such as adding crosswalks and pedestrian signals, and will implement education programs targeting both motorists and pedestrians. These measures are critical to reducing the number of injuries and fatalities and improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists across the city.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The City of Norwalk, located in Los Angeles County, is a vibrant community with approximately 105,000 residents. Of these, 64.8% speak a language other than English at home, 13.3% are seniors, 8.9% live below the poverty line, and 6.1% have a disability. As the city continues to grow, one of its priorities is improving bicycle safety to protect both young riders and the community as a whole.

To address this, the City of Norwalk is working to implement a comprehensive bicycle safety program, focusing on educating youth about safe riding practices, the importance of wearing helmets, and understanding traffic laws. This program will not only provide practical safety tips but also help foster a culture of awareness and responsibility on the road. Through partnerships with schools, local organizations, and community leaders, Norwalk aims to create a safer environment for cyclists of all ages and encourage more residents to safely enjoy biking as a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation.

NORWALK
A Connected Community
City Council Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Glen W.C. Kau, P.E., Director of Public Services/City Engineer Gabriela Regalado, Director of Social Services
Daniel Abrego, Senior Center Manager
Damian Rosales, Public Services Superintendent
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 25-39 - BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 APPROVED BUDGET - AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PROJECT NO. 7864 - SENIOR CENTER ROOF REPLACEMENT AND EXTERIOR PAINTING

OF BUILDING
Background:

In January 2026, the Senior Center will celebrate its 25th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the facility will undergo a series of renovations aimed at enhancing both its appearance and functionality for service to our community. To ensure the facility is prepared in time for this milestone event, critical improvements, including installation of a new roof and exterior painting, must be completed within a condensed timeframe.

Given the short lead time and the complexity of coordinating construction and preparation around active center operations, utilizing a traditional competitive bidding process would have significantly delayed project initiation and jeopardize timely completion.

To meet the project deadline while maintaining compliance with public procurement standards, staff has opted to use a cooperative purchasing agreement through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc. CMAS Number 4-25-02-1015.

CMAS is a state-run procurement program that allows California government agencies, including city governments, to purchase a wide range of products and services through pre-negotiated contracts. City governments in California are considered local government agencies under CMAS and are eligible to use CMAS contracts. These offerings come from vendors who have pre-approved CMAS contracts with the California Department of General Services (DGS). To City Council August 19, 2025
Resolution No. 25-39 - Budget Amendment Page No. 2
Award Contract for Project No. 7864 - Senior Center
Roof Replacement and Exterior Painting of Building
qualify for CMAS, contractors must have an existing competitively awarded contract (like a U.S.

General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule), submit a tailored application to California DGS, agree to state-specific terms, and demonstrate that their pricing is fair and within scope.

A GSA Schedule contract (also known as a MAS contract) is a long-term, governmentwide contract issued by the U.S. GSA that allows government agencies to buy products and services at pre-negotiated prices from approved vendors.

City Council Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-40 APPROVAL OF A PUT OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12158 FIRESTONE BLVD, NORWALK, CA 90650 (ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER 8056-014-034) Background:

On July 6, 2021, City Council approved the Heart of Norwalk (HON) Vision Plan, which envisions opportunities for new economic development within Front Street, Firestone Boulevard, and San Antonio Drive corridors. The property located at 12158 Firestone Blvd., Norwalk, CA 90650 (the "Property") at the southeast corner of Firestone and Clarkdale is part of the Heart of Norwalk project area. The Vision Plan emphasizes providing new commercial amenities, open spaces, complete streets, and affordable housing. The Arroyo Group (TAG) was selected to work on the Specific Plan that establishes zoning regulations and development standards for the area.

The Heart of Norwalk Draft Specific Plan (DSP) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) are out for public review and comment. Adoption of the DSP and certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) by City Council is anticipated late Fall 2025.

The property at 12158 Firestone is located in the Front Street Historic District of the HON and the anticipated zoning is flexible residential and commercial which is conducive to a variety of activities which will ultimately stimulate reinvestment and redevelopment in the area. The final end use is not known at this time but options considered for this area include residential and public parking to name a few in a public private partnership between the City and Primestor.

Given that a final design and reuse option has not been arrived at, a Put Agreement ("Agreement") is a common flexible financial instrument that allows the owner of the asset (Primestor) the option to sell at a set price. A put option is a contract giving the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell the asset at a predetermined price within a specified time frame. In this case, the Put Agreement has been used with great success on other Primestor 10 City Council August 19, 2025
Resolution No. 25-40 Approval of a PUT Agreement Page No. 2 with Primestor Development, LLC
transactions with the City.

The Agreement grants Primestor Development, LLC an option to sell the Property to the City upon the terms and conditions agreed to in the Agreement. The purchase price is identical to the contracted escrow price: (i) One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,150,000.00) (the "Property Price") plus, (i) all related out-of-pocket closing costs and amounts paid to third-parties in connection with Primestor's acquisition and ownership of the Property prior to the sale to the City (defined as "Capitalized Costs"), plus (iii) an annualized ten percent (10%) return, compounding monthly, on the sum of the Property Price plus the Capitalized Costs, and (iv) any outstanding Reimbursement Fee due and owing from City to Primestor at such time. The proposed term is two years commencing six months after the effective date of the Agreement. The option may be exercised by Primestor or the City at any time during the term with a sixty (60)-day written notice.

Environmental:

The approval of the Put Option Agreement is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption because the approval of the Option Agreement does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and therefore it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a). Approval of the Put Option Agreement does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because it contemplates a real estate transaction resulting in no physical change to the environment and no specific project is being approved at this time. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

Fiscal Impact:

None at this time. If Primestor exercises its rights under the Put Agreement, the City and Primestor will be required to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

SUBJECT: ONE-WAYS NEIGHBORHOOD REHABILITATION PROGRAM SUMMARY Background:

On July 19, 2022, City Council approved the allocation of $2,000,000, funded indirectly by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), for the One-Ways Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program (Program) to serve a community that has been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In August of 2022, staff was hired to develop and administer the Program and conduct a Parking Action Plan (Plan).

Community outreach commenced in Fall 2022 to promote the Program to the residents in the area. In February 2023, staff hosted three community meetings at the Norwalk Social Services Center to provide program information and application assistance. From March 1-31, the submission period opened to accept applications on a first-come first-serve basis to participate in the Program. Following the end of the submission period, an evaluation committee conducted an in-depth review of the 85 applications that consisted of document review and field inspections.

A total of 80 applicants were approved and the following services were completed:

Service Residents Assisted
Roof Replacement 56
Exterior Paint 14
Fence Repair/Replacement 9
Junk Removal 1
The One-Ways Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program had remaining funds of $175,000 as of June 2024. To utilize the remaining funds, staff reviewed the initial One-Ways surveys submitted and conducted outreach to residents who had not yet received assistance. Letters were mailed, 11 City Council August 19, 2025
One-Ways Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program Page No. 2 Summary
followed by in-person outreach and door-to-door visits to engage non-responding households.

In parallel, staff coordinated with Code Compliance to identify active cases within the neighborhood and was able to assist one additional property through this approach. A windshield Survey was then conducted to visually assess properties across the One-Ways area, and 42 high-need properties were identified and prioritized based on observed exterior conditions. Stati mailed letters, application materials, and memos to these 42 households inviting them to participate in the Program. Staff also conducted in-person outreach to these households. Staff provided continued assistance throughout the process.

As a result of the additional outreach and utilization of remaining funds, updated Program totals are as follows:

Service Residents Assisted
Roof Replacement 64
Exterior Paint 18
Fence Repair/Replacement
Junk Removal 1
Total 93
Fiscal Impact:

There is no additional fiscal impact. A total of $2,000,000 in general funds was allocated for the program and parking study.

SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM SUMMARY
Background:

On October 3, 2023, City Council approved a substantial amendment to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Annual Action Plan, which included reallocating $615,267 in unused Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and establishing a new citywide Residential Rehabilitation Program (Program) funded by a $600,000 allocation from the General Fund. The new Program was created to expand resident access to home repair services that were previously limited under strict CDBG eligibility guidelines and is modelled after the success of the One-Ways Neighborhood Rehabilitation Program.

On April 16, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-16, formally amending the FY 2023/24 budget to reflect the General Fund allocation and finalize the Program structure. The Program categories included:
• Accessibility upgrades
• Air conditioning / cooling units
• Home safety inspections and repairs
• Senior roof repair / replacement
• Sustainability and energy-efficient repairs
The Program initially prioritized residents from the waitlist of the previous CDBG-funded Home Improvement Program. After assisting all waitlisted applicants, staff expanded outreach by promoting the Program through the Norwalk Senior Center. A senior survey was distributed to assess home rehabilitation needs via the City's Senior Nutrition Program and Senior Center events and activities. Staff assisted eligible residents based on responses received. 12 City Council August 19, 2025

SUBJECT: HEART OF NORWALK SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE
Background:

On July 6, 2021, City Council adopted The Heart of Norwalk Vision Plan for the future of San Antonio Village and the Firestone Corridor, two key neighborhoods in the center of the City. The Plan was developed in partnership with the City, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the consulting firm, The Arroyo Group (TAG). This Vision Plan set the overall tone for how the study area can grow in both the commercial and housing sectors, while balancing place making and open spaces. The Vision Plan emphasizes providing new commercial amenities, open spaces, complete streets, and affordable housing to support Norwalk residents. In order to implement this vision, staff initiated the drafting of a Specific Plan that will establish zoning regulations and development standards to make this vision into reality.

The proposed Specific Plan ("Specific Plan") effort intends to establish zoning regulations that will permit housing and desired commercial uses while ensuring that each development contributes to community goals. It will also establish a program of street, open space, and infrastructure projects to support the vision of the plan and future growth and propose funding and implementation measures needed to implement the proposed Specific Plan. A total of 407 Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) make up the approximately 0.96 square miles, or 615 acres of the Specific Plan area.

The Specific Plan area contains a wide variety of commercial and residential zoning districts.

Staff notes that currently within the commercially zoned properties, housing is permitted in conjunction with a commercial development (mixed use) with an approved Conditional Use Permit. It is estimated that these commercial sites could reasonably be developed with 2,053 residential units under current zoning regulations. The Specific Plan is intended to be implemented over a 30-year period.
13 City Council August 19, 2025
Heart of Norwalk Specific Plan Update Page No. 2
Additionally, the development of the Specific Plan will help the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 5,034 units. The current Housing Element accounted for many of the sites within the Specific Plan area as residential inventory sites available for development. Therefore, the Housing Element contains a program that commits to adopting the Specific Plan, which would allow residential use.

Community Feedback
The project team has received robust and consistent input for the project since the beginning of the Vision Plan process in fall 2020. The Vision Plan outreach campaign engaged approximately 5,300 residents between December 2020 and March 2021. Nearly 100 residents attended four online events that were held in February and March 2021, 363 surveys were completed by community members, and over 3,000 residents engaged with Heart of Norwalk social media content.

Outreach in the Specific Plan process consisted of virtual and in-person community workshops and participation at three Front Street events in the summer of 2022 and in the summer of 2024.

Further community workshops and social media engagement will take place prior to the adoption of the Specific Plan.

Throughout the outreach process, members of the public have consistently expressed the desire for high-quality local commercial options, places to enjoy in groups and spend time in public.

They desire an authentic center to the City, with local and national businesses, places to walk and spend time, nightlife, and spaces that can encourage and celebrate local culture, such as performance arts spaces.

Front Street, a focal area for businesses and nightlife, retains its historic feel by preserving older buildings. It caters to the community's younger population. Norwalk Town Square, on the other hand, offers shopping, family entertainment, and convenient parking. Multi-family residential uses are also supported, as they contribute to the desired commercial amenities. Public surveys and workshops revealed a desire to connect these districts through streets, prioritizing walking, biking and public space over traffic movement.

On February 20, 2024, a Study Session was held with City Council to provide an update on the Specific Plan and gather feedback from City Council and the public. Subsequently, on July 1, 2025, a progress report was presented to City Council. This report discussed the progress made so far with the Specific Plan, provided a summary of each district and corridor, and included some additional information regarding parking regulations within the Specific Plan.

Specific Plan Progress
The project team circulated the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on June 24, 2025, for a 45-day public review period ending on August 8, 2025. Concurrently, the draft Specific Plan is also available for public review for the same period. Based on the feedback received at the City Council August 19, 2025

July 1, 2025 City Council meeting, City Council instructed staff to enhance outreach efforts with property owners within the Specific Plan.

On August 7, 2025, staff conducted a Property Owner meeting. A total of 110 flyers went out to property owners in the Front Street Historic District and the Firestone Boulevard. These flyers contained 165 Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs), which represent a portion of the total 407 APNs in the Specific Plan area, and were customized for each property owner. The flyers provided information about existing zoning, proposed zoning, existing development standards and proposed development standards. Attachment No. 1 includes a sample of the flyers distributed to property owners within the Front Street Historic District and Firestone Boulevard.

A total of 12 property owners attended the meeting. TAG presented PowerPoint that provided some background information about the project, the new zoning designations and off-street parking regulations. After the PowerPoint presentation, participants were divided into two groups: the Front Street Historic District property owners and the Firestone Boulevard property owners. During this exercise, City and TAG staff had the opportunity to interact with each property owner individually and address their questions and concerns. Listed below are some concerns that were shared during this meeting:
• Concerns about Firestone Boulevard narrowing to two lanes, specifically as they relate to the City truck route and trucks being able to drive on Firestone Blvd versus not being able to drive on other streets in Norwalk. Truck businesses need access from the Heart of Norwalk area to surrounding freeways. Staff will further evaluate this comment with the traffic consultant.
• Property owners on Front Street expressed concern regarding having to change their business due to proposed land use changes. City and TAG staff responded to their question related to conditional use permits and nonconforming uses. • Property owners expressed interest in maintaining an off-street parking requirement of at least one off-street parking space per unit.

Staff plans to hold additional meetings with property owners within the area of the Specific Plan in September 2025. These meetings aim to provide property owners with a refresher on the Specific Plan, changes in zoning, changes in development standards and address any concerns they may have. The City will continue to receive public feedback and additional input regarding the proposed land use plan to finalize the Specific Plan's zoning regulations and DEIR.

These documents can be found using the following link: www.Norwalk.org/heart Next Steps
Once the review period concludes, staff will commence preparing the associated Response to Comments (RTC) for the DEIR and incorporating any final modifications to the Specific Plan.

Additionally, staff continue outreach with property owners in September 2025.
