1. Executive Summary
ProjectLine specializes in electrical and controls engineering for Water Facilities.

Founded in 2001, ProjectLine Technical Services (ProjectLine) is a California corporation specializing in electrical and controls engineering services for water infrastructure projects. ProjectLine clients include major water utility agencies for whom we provide engineering and design services for water and sewer facilities, booster stations, pressure reducing stations, reservoirs, wells and ion exchange treatment plants. ProjectLine clients include Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), and cities such as Los Angeles and Riverside.

ProjectLine’s offers relevant water facility electrical engineering experience.  See Appendix A for ProjectLine’s Statement of Qualifications. A summary of relevant projects for Ontario’s RFQual follows.
 ProjectLine recently provided electrical, control systems and SCADA designs for 7 wastewater pump stations for the City of LA and Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). Projects include both new and upgraded stations, new switchgear and MCC, control panels, backup generators, etc. ProjectLine also provided evaluations of SCADA, electrical and controls infrastructure, and tagging requirements. Both LA and CVWD have detailed electrical standards including preferred electrical and controls equipment, control philosophies, and installation and commissioning requirements. Adherence to standards helps CVWD and LA better construct, operate and maintain their facilities. It is easier for maintenance staff to troubleshoot problems, because facilities use the same instrumentation devices, for example. Standardization also benefits training and transfer of knowledge to the next generation of staff.  ProjectLine provided on-call electrical engineering design services for several recent OC San projects. ProjectLine’s designs followed OC San’s robust electrical and controls standards:
o Project P1-141 Administrative Facilities Demolition at Plant 1 includes re-routing fiberoptic cables for several buildings, addition of 14 fleet EV chargers, and design of a new parking lot and related outdoor lighting systems. Design is ongoing for 2026 construction. o P2-127 Warehouse Stations and
Collections Yard Relocation at Plant 2,
including a pre-engineered warehouse
building (see photo to right), fleet
vehicle covered parking, and a time-fill
CNG compressor.
o Project FR1-0019 Replacement of
backup generator protection relays at
OC San’s Plant 1 power buildings.

Existing Basler and GE Multilin 489
protection relays were end-of-life and
therefore replaced with SEL relays.
 ProjectLine is currently providing electrical
design services for security system upgrades at several Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) facilities as part of MWD’s agency-wide upgrade to a new Genetec security platform. Projects include replacement of outdated analog cameras with new digital cameras, addition of radar and fence/ground shaker intrusion detection, and access control system upgrades.
385
PROJECTLINE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.  2900 BRISTOL D-103, COSTA MESA, CA 92626  949-351-9718  ProjectLine also assisted MWD with developing electrical system schematics and maps for water facilities to support goals similar to Ontario’s:
o Capture and transfer knowledge of electrical
infrastructure from current staff to the next
generation of operators and engineers.
o Facilitate communication and training of staff as well as consultants and contractors.
 ProjectLine’s experience with robust electrical engineering standards of many water agencies will be applied to guide Ontario’s electrical design, construction and commissioning standards. ProjectLine will draw on our experience with many water agencies and best practices to:
o Tailor your Master Set of Electrical Guidelines,
Standard Plans and Specifications (MSEGPS) to
Ontario’s needs. Standard electrical plans and
specifications, design guidelines and requirements
for SCADA, security, etc. will provide clear and
consistent directions to engineers and contractors.
o MSEGPS will provide Ontario with construction and commissioning requirements for water facility electrical and controls work. ProjectLine will help the City avoid third party issues by clarifying roles and responsibilities and detailing commissioning forms to document facilities are tested and functioning before acceptance.

PROJECTLINE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.  2900 BRISTOL D-103, COSTA MESA, CA 92626  949-351-9718 b. Project Specific Experience
vi. Reference projects: Within the past 5 years, ProjectLine provided electrical and controls engineering for the following three relevant projects (see Appendix C for details):
 OC Sanitation District P2-127 Warehouse and Collections Yard  City of LA TOS-25 Stormwater Diversion Projects
 IEUA DeviceNet Replacement Project
vii. None of the situations described in RFQual Requirements paragraph 6.b.ii has occurred within the 24 years that ProjectLine has been in business. c. Technical Competence
viii. ProjectLine possesses five AutoCAD and three Microstation licenses and related CAD workstations. ProjectLine design staff use Bluebeam as a design markup and review tool, and track design review comments, responses and resolution in Bluebeam sessions. ProjectLine staff have ETAP modeling experience, and experience with various lighting modeling packages. ProjectLine also has various electrical design automation tools developed in-house.
ix. ProjectLine offers multi-disciplinary project capabilities. ProjectLine staff offer mechanical, instrumentation and electrical engineering capability, and we typically employ subconsultants for other disciplines – e.g. Civil, structural, architectural, etc.

Based on the RFQual scope of work, we expect that ProjectLine can perform all of the expected on-call services in-house. The only task we recommend to subcontract is the arc-flash mitigation study (Task 9.f), because in our experience this is a task that can be performed more efficiently by a specialty subconsultant. We have included PWE on our proposed team in the event that the City needs Civil engineering expertise related to electrical work.

7. Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work:

1. Project Management and Administration.

Project Controls. Effective project management, coordination, communication and schedule and budget control will begin at the outset with a Project Management Plan (PMP) tailored to Ontario’s needs. The PMP will be used as a roadmap and will be updated as-needed. The PMP will include:
 A decisions log will be maintained to facilitate and document critical decisions and track issues for resolution. Effective communication will continue throughout the project in frequent meetings and discussions with Ontario staff and monthly progress reports. Any significant issues will be identified and reported to Ontario immediately.  Team communication procedures with Ontario’s operations, engineering and project management staff. We understand the need for a collaborative process, beginning with the kickoff meeting, developing a shared understanding of Ontario San goals, and continuing throughout the project. Our approach has proven successful on many similar projects.

We view Ontario as partners with whom we will build a successful project. Our project manager, with Ontario’s staff and team members as project stakeholders, will share a successful project vision, and will address areas of concern with openness to avoid conflicts and facilitate problem resolution.

QA/QC. ProjectLine’s QA/QC process will provide high-quality work products that build confidence, support and enthusiasm for meeting Ontario objectives. QA/QC will be provided in accordance with the PMP, with all work products checked prior to delivery. Our QA/QC steps will include Project Manager check of all work products, and an independent review of drawings, calculations and specifications by an experienced engineer.
390
PROJECTLINE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.  2900 BRISTOL D-103, COSTA MESA, CA 92626  949-351-9718 Project Schedule. ProjectLine’s proposed project schedule is included in Appendix E. As requested in the RFQual, this is intended as a draft first year schedule of tasks, milestones and deliverables. We will work with Ontario to manage project sequence and schedule, beginning with preparation of the PMP, and extending through completion of deliverables. We estimate an overall project duration of approximately 12 months based on the City’s scope.

2. Information Gathering. ProjectLine proposes a systematic data gathering approach, with work products that summarize status of City facilities and best practices. These work products will be used to develop SOPs for City water facilities. ProjectLine will:
a. Gather information on existing procedures and best practices. b. Conduct preliminary interviews with Engineering and Production staff. c. Conduct field assessments to City water facilities. ProjectLine makes effective use of technology for field data collection with ruggedized tablet computers that allow for on-thego annotation of photos and documents, with on-line data synchronization with ProjectLine’s home office network drives. The goal will be to identify and prioritize issues – e.g. code violations, end-of-life equipment, maintenance problems, etc. d. ProjectLine will work with the City to anticipate information that will be required to support later tasks - e.g. SOPs, Assessment Report and Maintenance Forecasting.

3. Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Design, Construction, Commissioning and Operation. ProjectLine will work with City stakeholders to develop an SOP format that best fits the needs of users, and considers SOP use within the framework of Ontario’s future asset management system. We envision these SOPs as a collection of baseline information for each water facility that includes P&IDs,
system descriptions, operating
procedures, key drawings, and
equipment information. We envision
future SOPs created during design, and
updated through construction, operation
and maintenance to become baseline
documents for City staff, consultants
and contractors. ProjectLine provided
similar services for MWD’s water
treatment plants, including schematic
drawings of existing electrical and
controls facilities pictured here.

4. Assessment Report. ProjectLine envisions the following approach:
a. Collecting ideas for improvements to current practices from information gathering and SOP development.
b. Summarizing recommendations in a draft Report for City review and input. c. Holding a workshop with key stakeholders to obtain City input, and incorporating City comments into a final Report.

5. Planned and Unplanned Maintenance 5-year Forecasting Budget. ProjectLine will investigate the City’s existing maintenance budget, and work with City electrical maintenance staff to identify issues and areas for improvement. We expect City staff are already aware of water facilities that are most critical to operations and have vulnerabilities (e.g. older electrical equipment and/or limited redundancy). These facilities will be most at risk for expensive emergency repairs. We will develop this information to recommend improvements to budget forecasting. 391
PROJECTLINE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.  2900 BRISTOL D-103, COSTA MESA, CA 92626  949-351-9718

6. Tagging System for OMUC’s future Asset Management System. ProjectLine has experience with many water agency tagging and asset identification systems, and we will apply this to Ontario’s water facilities and electrical systems. We will first evaluate existing City tagging systems and investigate options for porting this data to the new “City Works” asset management software system. We anticipate that a facility-based asset tagging system will work best, with tagging matching existing City SCADA and P&ID tagging. The goal will be a City-wide tagging system that is logical and intuitive, and does not require a lot of effort changing existing systems.

ProjectLine recently updated the City of LA’s BOE tagging specifications for application to new Advanced Water Purification Systems, so we have a good understanding of tagging possibilities and limitations.

7. Design Guidelines. ProjectLine will consider using the existing Water and Sewer Design Development Guidelines and Specifications as a formatting baseline for the set of new electrical design guidelines. ProjectLine will incorporate appliable industry standards such as NEC, IEEE, ISA, etc. Design Guidelines will be the City’s opportunity to specify standards for electrical infrastructure. For example:
a. Electrical safety – does the City want arc-resistant or arc-quenching equipment? Types of protection relays and breakers? Where should lock-out-tag-out apply vs. local disconnects, grounding requirements, ratings for electrical equipment, etc. b. Electrical redundancy – where are backup generators required? Permanent vs. portable generators? What are criteria for UPS systems? Does the City have situations that warrant double-ended switchgear and MCC? What alarms are needed for critical facilities? Where to apply monitoring and trending for early warning? Does the City anticipate Battery Energy Storage Systems?
c. Standardize materials and approaches – e.g. standardize levels of SCADA monitoring and control. What materials does the City want for electrical equipment located indoors vs. outdoors? Types of fiber-optic cable – single vs. multi-mode. Does the City have approved light pole details and standard fixture schedules?

8. Standard Plans and Specifications. ProjectLine will work with the City to identify standards from other agencies to use as a guide and first produce an initial table of contents. ProjectLine will then prioritize standards that will help ongoing projects. ProjectLine’s experience is that agencies like to standardize instrumentation – e.g. prefer Khrone mag meters, or prefer ultrasonic level devices in certain situations, vs. pressure-type in other situations. Specifying standard approaches to pump control and related standard control schematics can also help with troubleshooting and maintenance. ProjectLine expects to develop standard SCADA-related panel details and specifications for items like switches and communication.

9. Electrical and SCADA Master Planning. Alan Carrie will lead ProjectLine’s Master Planning:
a. Evaluate the City’s existing electrical and SCADA systems in light of the City’s Water Master Plan and recommend related phased infrastructure upgrades. b. Coordinate with City Water Production and IT staff on security, hardware and software standards for building out the network.
c. Incorporate relevant I&C standards for P&IDs, tagging, CAD, etc. d. Create a database of electrical and I&C assets to allow for tracking of assets. e. Evaluate design systems software alternatives and recommend products for implementation into OMUC design review processes.
f. Prepare an arc flash mitigation study and recommendations. 392
PROJECTLINE TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC.  2900 BRISTOL D-103, COSTA MESA, CA 92626  949-351-9718

10. SCADA Security Risk Assessment. Alan Carrie will lead ProjectLine’s SCADA risk assessment:
a. Coordinate with OMUC Water Production staff and City IT staff to document existing network security practices.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S FIVE-YEAR (2019-2023) PERMANENT LOCAL

HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
April 21, 2026
SECTION:

PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions:

A. Conduct a public hearing to receive comments relating to a proposed amendment to the City of Ontario's Five-Year Permanent Local Housing Allocation Plan (PHLA Plan); B. Adopt a Resolution approving the PLHA Plan amendment; and C. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the PLHA Plan amendment, and any documents related to the amendment.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed amendment will reprogram funding from the original PLHA Allocation Plan. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget includes appropriations and related revenues for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In September 2017, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), also known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act. This legislation established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to support affordable housing production statewide. SB 2 created the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program, administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Through the PLHA Program, entitlement jurisdictions, including the City of Ontario, receive formulabased funding distributed in five-year cycles. As part of the application process, jurisdictions must identify eligible activities for HCD review and approval. On July 7, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-121, approving the City's PLHA Allocation Plan.

The proposed amendment updates the City's approved five-year PLHA Allocation Plan by 440
reallocating funds to better align with current housing priorities. The amendment increases investment in new construction of affordable rental housing and homeownership activities, and expands eligibility for homeownership activities to households earning up to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI), compared to the current 80% AMI limit. This change will allow PLHA funds to be used in the City's Keys to Community First-Time Homebuyer Program.

The amendment eliminates funding for enhanced homeless services and capital reserves for permanent supportive housing and reallocates those funds to new construction of affordable housing and homeownership activities. Funding for administration remains unchanged at the maximum 5% allowed under HCD guidelines. Staff supports this reallocation, as existing resources are available to address the needs previously funded under enhanced homeless services, and there are currently no permanent supportive housing projects requiring capital reserve funding.

The revised five-year allocations are as follows:

Enhanced Homeless Services: $0 (previously $3,771,100)
New Construction of Affordable Housing: $3,154,316 (previously $3,771,100) Homeownership Activities: $1,896,769 (previously $806,751) Capital Reserves for Permanent Supportive Housing: $0 (previously $354,925) Administration: $265,845 (unchanged)
Total: $5,316,930
The proposed amendment will allow the City to allocate additional resources to key City Council initiatives. The City currently operates the Keys to Community First-Time Homebuyer Program. On June 17, 2025, the City Council allocated $1,688,748 to the program using a combination of local and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds. The proposed amendment would allocate an additional $1,090,018 in funding to further support the program.

To date, eight loans have been issued, all to households above 80% AMI, using only local funds. The average income level of participating households is 101% AMI. In the current housing market, lower-income households often face challenges qualifying for primary mortgages, even with financial assistance. Increasing the eligibility threshold to 120% AMI, as permitted by California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) guidelines, will enable more effective utilization of PLHA funds.

The development of new affordable rental housing remains a high priority for the City.

Approximately $1.8 million in PLHA funds has already supported Emporia Place II, a 50-unit affordable housing project in downtown Ontario. The City is actively advancing additional affordable housing projects and will use remaining PLHA funds to support current and future developments as opportunities arise.
