FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Amendment No. 10 increases the Agreement amount by $2,650,623, plus an additional 10% contingency of $265,063. The revised total contract amount is $7,632,379, with a revised total contingency of $333,005 for a revised total not-to-exceed authorization amount of $7,965,384.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has allocated an additional $3,334,729 in SAFETEA-LU funds on an 80% cost reimbursement basis for the I-10 Freeway at Grove Avenue and Fourth Street Interchange and Grove Avenue Corridor Project. City Council previously accepted the additional $3,334,729 in SAFETEA-LU funds in 2019. The City will be reimbursed 80% of the engineering and environmental services costs associated with Amendment No. 10 from the State of California; a
total
reimbursement
amount of $2,332,548. The required 20% match of $583,137 will be funded by Old Model Colony Regional Streets Development Impact Fee. 36 Associated revenues and expenditures will be included in Mid-Year Budget Update in the Ground Access Fund for $2,332,548 and $583,137 to OMC Regional Streets Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
In December 2012, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Parsons in the amount of $3,000,000 for PA&ED of the I-10 Freeway at Grove Avenue and Fourth Street Interchange and Grove Avenue Corridor Project.
The existing agreement with Parsons is for the preparation of a study evaluating environmental impacts and recommending the configuration of a new interchange at I-10 Freeway at Grove Avenue, including the widening of Grove Avenue from four to six lanes between I-10 and Airport Drive and reconfiguring the existing interchange at I-10 and Fourth Street. The environmental document for the Interchange and Corridor were separated with the Corridor PA&ED document completed in July 2021.
The City has experienced delays in completing the PA&ED phase of the Interchange due to Caltrans elevating the environmental document type to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) after years of reviewing it as an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA). The EIR is being required due to changes in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Green House Gas (GHG) emissions analysis requirements. The CEQA changes have resulted in the need to update technical studies.
Amendment No. 10 will provide funding for the completion of the PA&ED phase of the Interchange Project. Once completed, the project can move into the design, right of way, and ultimately construction phase.

AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A FIRE SAFETY TRAILER WITH JHB GROUP, INC.
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
February 20, 2024
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the purchase of a Fire Safety Trailer from JHB Group, Inc. of Lake in the Hills, Illinois, in the amount of $212,463 plus a 3% contingency of $6,374 to mitigate any unforeseen issues with supply chain surcharges and manufactures price increases, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $218,837.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Operating Budget includes appropriations in the Equipment Services Fund for the purchase of a Fire Safety Trailer in the amount of $212,463 plus a 3% contingency of $6,374 to mitigate any unforeseen issues with supply chain surcharges and manufacturers' price increases, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $218,837.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
For decades, the Ontario Fire Department has been dedicated to educating the community on the importance of fire and life safety. The commitment to public education involved using a fire safety trailer as a key tool for outreach. Through the use of this trailer, people of all ages were able to learn about a wide range of fire and life safety topics and engage in realistic simulations. Due to the age of the previous fire safety trailer and wear and tear, it is necessary to purchase a new trailer.
The purchase of this safety trailer will allow enhanced educational experience to citizens.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that people retain information more effectively when they are able to hear, visualize, and engage in hands-on activities. The selected proposal will deliver a trailer that allows the participant to come across common household fire scenarios including a kitchen, bedroom and BBQ grill and move through motion activated activities that allow for an instructional or self-guided experience. It will also be equipped with a shake, rattle and roll severe weather simulator along with a fire extinguisher training/simulation system.
By incorporating
simulation in the new trailer, the Ontario Fire Department will be able to deliver a comprehensive, fully ADA compatible, and immersive educational experience.
59 In December 2023, the City solicited proposals on PlanetBids for a fire safety trailer and notified 237 potential bidders. After receiving two competitive bids, Staff reviewed proposals for trailer specifications, content clarity, warranty, project timeline, fee proposal, and experience. JHB Group, Inc.'s proposal is thorough and showcases experience in safety trailers. Staff is recommending the purchase of the safety trailer from JHB Group, Inc. in the amount of $212,463. 60 Department: Planning

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Service Agreement with SWA Group, of Laguna Beach, California, for the preparation of the design and construction documents for the Ontario Arena Plaza for a not-to-exceed amount of $970,147.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract proposes the expenditure of a not-to-exceed amount of $970,147. If approved, appropriations in the Capital Projects Fund will be included in the Mid-Year Budget Update Report to City Council as needed.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
In June of 2022, the City approved a Development Plan to construct four mixed-use buildings totaling 63,655 commercial square feet and 694 dwelling units on 13.3 acres of land located at 4000 East Ontario Center Parkway and the southeast and southwest corner of Via Piemonte and Via Villagio, within the Mixed-Use land use district of the Piemonte Overlay of the Ontario Center Specific Plan. The overall concept for the approved project is to construct a mixed-use development that encourages entertainment, dining, and pedestrian activities by creating spaces for a variety of uses in proximity to each other, including residential, retail, dining, gathering, and entertainment. The main elements of the mixed-use development incorporate ground floor restaurants and retail, with four levels of residential apartments above. The ground level will also be used for residential parking that will be fully covered by residential common open spaces on the level above.
61 The focal feature of this mixed-use development is a 2-acre public Ontario Arena Plaza proposed between the Toyota Arena on the west and the 5-story mixed-use buildings to the east and southeast. The Ontario Arena Plaza will provide pedestrian connectivity north to existing and proposed commercial uses and between the Toyota Arena and proposed mixed-use developments.
The vision for the Ontario Arena Plaza is to create an engaging space for activities and leisure. The Ontario Arena Plaza should serve as the “living room” for the entertainment district, where people can gather for special events, entertainment and social interaction. In addition, the Ontario Arena Plaza is envisioned to serve as an economic catalyst for visitors attending a venue at the Toyota Arena and attracting visitors to the restaurant/retail areas and new businesses.
In collaboration with the ASM Global (Toyota Arena), and Adept (the Developer for the mixed-use development), a conceptual design (See Exhibit A – Ontario Arena Plaza Conceptual Design) for the Ontario Arena Plaza was prepared. The contract with SWA Group will provide final design and construction drawings for development of the plaza.

RE: Proposals for Civil Engineering Design Services for Ontario Areana Plaza Project Dear Mr. Rydzon,
TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal in response to the Civil Engineering Services for the City of Ontario’s RFP for the Ontario Arena Plaza Project.
WORK PLAN/SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work presented below has been structured based on the City’s RFP work structure and are further described as follows:
1 – PROJECT KICKOFF (1 WEEK)
Attend Kick-Off Meeting
TAIT & assigned Project Engineer will be in attendance at the design Kickoff meeting. It is assumed the meeting will be held digitally with SWA taking the lead on the agenda/minutes.
Project Research, Set Up, & Utility Notification
TAIT will compile the City provided records, reports, and CAD base files as part of this task to set up the project files. TAIT will also distribute initial utility notices to all utilities identified within the limits of work based on USA – Digalert search and records will be requested from all identified utilities. NOTE – utility locating and potholing is not included as part of this proposal and are assumed to not be required or provided by others Task 1 Deliverables: Utility Notices, Records, and Coordination 2 – SITE ANALYSIS (3 WEEKS)
Design Field Walk
A Single design field walk is assumed as part of this task. Walk will be done in conjunction with other team members and include site photographs and notation of existing field improvements.
Existing Records & Data Review
This task is provided to allow for review and analysis of existing design plans, reports (assumed hydrology and WQMP for master site to be provided), and other documents that are historical to the project and adjoining developments.

SWPPP
Per RFP requirements, TAIT will prepare the SWPPP for the projects inclusion in the bidding documents. TAIT will upload the documents to the SMARTS system, however, it will be the City’s responsibility to certify and pay the required fees in order to obtain the required DIR number for the proposed grading improvements.
Final WQMP
A Final WQMP will be prepared per RFP requirements. Based on approved site plan and design, final sizing of proposed BMP improvements, layout, and compilation of the final report for the City’s review will be conducted.
Final sizing, detailing, O&M, as well as MCA documents will be included in this version of the report.
Final Hydrology Report:
Final hydrology report will be prepared to provide final sizing and validation of the peak flows anticipated for the site. As noted before, due to the fact that the existing site is completely developed with little landscaping and the new improvements will incorporate a high percentage of landscaping/improvements, it is anticipated that peak flow detention systems will not be required.
Specifications
TAIT will prepare civil technical specifications for inclusion in the SWA specification package. TAIT’s scope includes technical specifications for Civil Improvements only.
Engineer’s Cost Estimate
TAIT will prepare an engineer’s cost estimate for civil improvements at the 80% & the 100% submittal.
Project Team Meetings & Coordination
Limited meetings & coordination have been assumed as part of this task. A total of 24 hours of effort for meetings & coordination are initially assumed. All meetings are assumed to be digital meetings.
Task 5 Deliverables: 80%, 100%, & Final Plans, WQMP, Hydrology Report, SWPPP, Specs, Estimate
6 –RECORD DRAWINGS (AS-BUILT PLANS)
As-Built Plans
Upon completion of the construction project, TAIT will capture the City provided contractor redlines and prepare a final As-Built Plan set. This task assumes that the design is followed in the field and that only minor updates/notations will be required. If complete design change is conducted, additional hours and fees will be required. This task also assumes As-Builts are provided in PDF only.
EXHIBIT B - February 1, 2024

ALT-1: Expanded Topographic Survey & Boundary Survey
As noted above, this task is provided should the previous survey and boundary mapping not be provided to TAIT.
Task includes review of City provided Title report, drafting of encumbrances, drafting of project boundary, and further expanded topographic and control survey for identification of further limits of work and joins.
Construction Assistance (RFI, Submittal, Field Meetings, Etc.) TAIT will provide construction assistance services on an as-needed basis through the course of construction.
This task assumes a construction duration of approximately 4 months and a total of 96 hours of blended rate support for the project. Tasks assumed to be part of construction assistance include:
x Attendance at Pre-Con Meeting 4 Hours
x Review Submittals 16 Hours
x Review RFI & Response to Contractor 40 Hours
x OAC Meetings (Digital, intermittent, Max 16) 16 Hours x Field Meetings (Assumes Max 4) 16 Hours
This task does not include design updates to the plans and only includes the above noted items. Inspections, Surveying, and CM services are assumed to be provided by the City and are excluded from TAIT’s scope.
Final Punch List & Precise Grading Certification
This task includes a single punch list walk conducted at the end of construction to generate a single construction punch list for the Contractor’s review and implementation. It is assumed that all punch list items will be reviewed in the field by the Contractor and City Inspector with verification of completeness to be provided to TAIT prior to preparation and signature/stamp of the grading certification for the City’s records. Certification includes visual inspection of field elements only and does not include survey.
ASSUMPTIONS
This scope of work is based on the following key assumptions:
x Records, reports, CAD files, and geotechnical repot (including infiltration rates) are provided the City and adjacent developers
x Survey is to be combined with City/adjacent developer provided boundary, utility, and expanded topographic survey data
x Schematic design is limited to two submittals
x Construction drawings are limited to three submittals x All plan sheets not included in this list are assumed to be extra (eg. Wall plans, street improvement plans, public utility extensions, etc.)
x Dry utility (Electrical, gas, telecom) design is not included and provided by others x Fire access plans will be prepared in conjunction with the adjacent development to show fire truck circulation along the western edge of the residential development and the frontage of the plaza.
Location of fire riser, DCDA, and FDC as well as number of hydrants required for the residential development will be provided by the adjacent development.
ALT- 1 Expanded Topographic Survery & Boundary Survey is OPTIONAL

x It is assumed that a public water system extension will be required between Via Pimonte and Ferrari Lane in order to provide the required public fire hydrant access through the site. For budgeting purposes, the proposed scope assumes up to 1,000 LF of public water main extension through the project area. FDC, DCDA, and other private connection lo cations and sizes are to be provided by others.
TAIT’s design includes the stubs for future connections as well as hydrants only. Pressure calculations and modeling is not included in TAIT’s scope and assumed to be provided by others. x Proposed easements are assumed to not be required. Should such mapping be requested, additional hours and fees will be required.

A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WITT O'BRIEN'S, LLC FOR A
CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS PLAN
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
February 20, 2024
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Witt O'Brien's, LLC, for consulting services in the creation of a citywide Continuity of Operations Plan, inclusive of the Continuity of Government and Disaster
Recovery
plans for a
not-to-exceed contract amount of $211,900.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Operating Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund for consulting services in the creation of a citywide Continuity of Operations Plan.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
After experiencing the most recent global pandemic and learning from the experiences of municipal agencies affected by cyber-attacks, the City recognized the importance of taking active measures to prepare for a complete disruption to City services. While the City has strengthened its plans within hazard mitigation and emergency operations, the City sought out consulting services through a competitive bidding process to develop a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), which will also incorporate the Continuity of Government (COG), and Disaster Recovery (DR) plans within the COOP.
COOP planning is the effort within individual agencies to ensure they can continue to perform their mission essential functions during a wide range of emergencies. It is the initiative that ensures our City agencies and departments are able to continue their essential daily functions. COOP requires planning for any event – natural, human-caused, and technological threats, which may cause an agency to relocate its operations to an alternate or other continuity site to assure continuance of its essential functions.
In November 2023, the City solicited proposals through the City's bid management system and received five proposals to accomplish this project. Witt O'Brien's, LLC, was recommended by a 143
review committee of City Staff. Witt O'Brien's, LLC is a California based-firm with a track record of experience in writing continuity, and other emergency, plans for municipal agencies in comparison to other proposals submitted.
Staff recommends awarding a contract to Witt O'Brien's, LLC for consulting services to write this comprehensive emergency plan and ultimately strengthen the entire City's resiliency in a time of disaster.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Gans and Pugh, of Herndon, Virginia, for equipment and software services in the amount of $1,123,388.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $1,123,388 in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Seizure Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Ontario Police Department (OPD) is dedicated to enhancing operations with state-of-the-art equipment and software to reduce crime in the City with the goal to increase the organization’s ability to locate and apprehend offenders in a less invasive manner.
The acquisition of equipment and software provided by Gans and Pugh Associates, Inc. will greatly impact the safety of our community members and our officers by improving the ability to locate and apprehend offenders, as well as assisting in locating our most vulnerable during their time of need such as critical missing persons, kidnappings, or trafficked citizens. OPD will benefit from this equipment and software both judicially and operationally. Because Ontario has relied on other police departments for assistance in priority cases and unfortunately, there have been situations where these agencies were unable to assist, it is imperative to have full access to this equipment and software to ensure the Police Department can better control the outcome of these situations.
In addition, OPD has strengthened relationships and enhanced uniformity with Fontana Police Department, Anaheim Police Department, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and United States Marshals Service while using this equipment and software. As a result, Staff recommends the approval of a sole source agreement with Gans and Pugh Associates, Inc. for specialized equipment and software. 163

WORKS DESIGN GROUP FOR ON-CALL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR
THE SOUTH BON VIEW PARK FIELD LIGHTING DESIGN PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
February 20, 2024
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Design Services Agreement with Community Works Design Group, of Riverside, California, to provide on-call architectural design services for the South Bon View Park Field Lighting Design Project in the amount of $49,745 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $474,450.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Capital Projects-Measure Q Fund for the South Bon View Park Field Lighting Design Project. The recommended Amendment No. 5 will increase the contract amount by $49,745, funded by Measure Q, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $474,450.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The proposed architectural design services include new field lighting construction for the multi-purpose field area located at South Bon View Park. The lighting design project will increase the park's availability for community sports users. The Community Works Design Group was selected from our on-call architectural design firms as the scope of work of this project is similar to that of the De Anza Park Improvement project.
In addition, the architectural design services include schematic design and design development of a proposed Space Plan, preparation of construction drawings, technical specifications, processing of drawings through the City Plan Check process and assistance during the construction administration phase, and normal structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering services. 182
