Credit rating on investments
The HSBC medium term note in the portfolio has been downgraded by Standard and Poor’s(S&P) from “A”to “A-“,which is one level below the minimum “A”rating permitted in the investment policy. It should be noted S&P is the only credit rating agency that issued the downgrade. The other two major national rating companies of Moody’s and Fitch have maintained the same bond credit rating.

If a security is downgraded one notch below the quality required in the investment policy, it is considered acceptable to retain such downgraded security in the portfolio. If a security is rated two grades below the required minimum rating, it will trigger an automatic sale of such downgraded City of Orange Printed on 2/3/2022Page 2 of 3

We believe economic growth is likely to moderate but remain above-trend in 2022,as US fiscal support begins to wane, and the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy. We expect continued improvement in the labor market will help drive economic growth this year as the health situation improves. Consumer spending, the largest component of US GDP, should also remain solid, supported by healthy consumer balance sheets and a potential shift in spending toward more services rather than goods. Over the near-term, we expect financial market volatility to remain elevated with heightened geopolitical risk, supply chain bottlenecks and persistent inflation, and the Fed's pivot to less accommodative monetary policy. Inflation readings continue to run hot, but we believe inflation may be at or near a peak and pricing pressures are likely to abate as we move through the year.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the fed funds target rate unchanged in January, in a range of 0.0%-0.25%, but indicated that they believe it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range. The Fed is also on track to complete their bond-buying program in early March. In addition, the FOMC is signaling that a passive reduction in the size of the Federal Reserve balance sheet is likely to commence later this year. The tone of Fed Chair Powell’s press conference was hawkish but he did not give any specific timelines. He mentioned that his outlook for inflation is incrementally worse than it was in December and that supply chain issues will linger for longer than previously expected. The Fed’s policy decisions will be led by incoming economic data and their evolving outlook. We are anticipating a rate hike announcement in March, but we do not believe that monetary policy is on a pre-set course and expect the Fed's policy adjustments will depend on developments in the economy.

In January, the 2-year Treasury yield increased nearly 45 basis points to 1.18%, the 5-year Treasury yield increased almost 35 basis points to 1.61%, and the 10-year Treasury yield increased about 27 basis points to 1.78%. On a month-over-month basis, the yield curve flattened. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield was roughly 60 basis points at January month-end, versus 78 basis points one month ago and 96 basis points one year ago. 3 46

The January employment report was remarkably strong. US nonfarm payrolls grew by 467,000in January, well above the consensus forecast of 125,000. Payrolls in the prior two months were revised significantly higher and on a trailing 3-month and 6-month basis, payrolls have increased an average of about 540,000 per month. The unemployment rate edged slightly higher to 4.0% in January from 3.9% in December as more workers entered the labor force. The labor participation rate increased to 62.2% in January from 61.9% in December but remains lower than the pre-pandemic level of 63.4%. The employment-population ratio increased to 59.7% in January from 59.5% in December, but also remains below the pre-pandemic level of 61.2%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons, declined to 7.1% in January from 7.3% in December, and is very close to its pre- pandemic level (7.0% in February 2020). Average hourly earnings rose 0.7% month-over-month and were up 5.7% year-over-year in January versus 4.9% in December.

U.S. consumer prices climbed more than expected in January as inflation hit highs not seen since 1982.The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was up

7.5% year-over-year in January, versus up 7.0% year-over-year in December. Core CPI (CPI less food and energy) was up 6.0% in January, versus up 5.5% year-over-year in December. Pricing pressures were widespread in January; energy, rents and food prices remained elevated from the prior month. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index was up 5.8% year-over-year in December, up from 5.7% in November. Core PCE was up 4.9% year-over-year in December, versus up 4.7% in November. Current inflation readings continue to run well above the Fed’s longer-run target of around 2.0%. While we believe year-over-year inflation may be at or near a peak, and pricing pressures are likely to abate as we move through the year, we expect inflationary pressures will remain elevated over the near-term.

Retail sales rebounded in January with the most significant gain in ten months. On a year-over-year basis, retail sales were up 13.0% in January versus up 16.9% in December. On a month-over-month basis, retail sales beat expectations, rising 3.8% in January versus a 2.5% decline in December. Excluding vehicles and gas, retail sales were up 3.8% month-over-month. Gains were broad-based with robust demand for goods, especially motor vehicles, home furnishings, and nonstore merchandise. Looking further ahead, we believe high levels of consumer savings along with improvement in the health situation and continued improvement in the labor market should provide a healthy tailwind for consumer spending. The Consumer Confidence index eased to 110.5 in February from 111.1 in January.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) decreased 0.3% month-over-month in January, following a 0.7% downwardly revised increase in December. On a year-over-year basis, the LEI was up 7.3% in January versus up 8.3% in December. Omicron, rising prices, supply chain snags, and scarcity of labor all weighed on the index in January. The Conference Board expects GDP growth to moderate in the first quarter to 2.0% but they are forecasting 3.5% growth for the full year. Meanwhile, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) declined to -

0.15 in December from 0.44 in November, suggesting that economic growth declined in December. We believe the rapid spread of the Omicron variant in December contributed to the overall decline. On a 3-month moving average basis, the CFNAI increased to 0.33 in December versus 0.40 in November.

On a year-over-year basis, total housing starts were up 0.8% in January. According to the Case- Shiller 20-City home price index, home prices were up 18.56% year-over-year in December versus up 18.35% year-over-year in November, suggesting tight supply may be continuing to support prices. 9 52

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index declined to 57.6 in January from 58.8 in December. We believe the surge in Omicron cases in January likely held back manufacturing activity in in the month. Nevertheless, readings above 50.0 are indicative of expansion in the manufacturing sector. The Industrial Production index was up 4.1% in January versus up 3.8% in December. On a month-over-month basis, the Industrial Production index rose 1.4% in January, following a 0.1% decline in December. Capacity utilization rose to 77.6% in January, up from 76.6%in December. Although capacity utilization remains below its longer-run average of 79.6%, it is running above the pre-pandemic level of 76.3%. Manufacturing production likely remains constrained by supply chain bottlenecks; the increase in January was largely concentrated in utilities due to colder weather.

According to the advance estimate, fourth quarter GDP grew at an annualized rate of 6.9%, versus the consensus forecast of 5.5%. Economic growth reaccelerated in the fourth quarter after slowing to a pace of 2.3% growth in the third quarter. While third quarter growth was held back by the outbreak of the Delta variant in the US, we anticipate the recent surge of omicron cases in the US will hamper current quarter economic growth. The consensus estimate calls for 1.7% GDP growth in the current quarter. 11 54
Federal Reserve
Source: Federal Reserve Source: Bloomberg
In 2020, the Fed took a wide range of aggressive actions to help stabilize and provide liquidity to the financial markets. The Fed lowered the fed funds target rate to a range of 0.0%-0.25% and started purchasing Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to support smooth market functioning. Policymakers reinstated the Commercial Paper Funding Facility and Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, and established the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility, Main Street Lending Facility, and Municipal Liquidity Facility. The Fed also provided short-term funding through large-scale repo operations and lowered the reserve requirement for depository institutions. Many of the Fed's lending facilities expired at the end of 2020.In June 2021, the Fed announced plans to unwind its corporate credit facility. The Fed started to taper their Treasury and agency MBS purchases in November 2021, and the Fed's bond-buying program is now on track to end by early March 2022. The Fed has also signaled that they are likely to start hiking the fed funds target rate this year.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community b: Deliver high quality and safe recreational, social, environmental, educational and cultural services.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The quarterly Our Orange publication is delivered to every household in Orange and is the primary source of printed communication between the City and the community. It contains information from every department, covering topics such as City news, safety tips, environmental news, City-wide projects, special events, and water conservation. Additionally, it serves as the quarterly catalog of revenue generating programs for the Community Services Department, and the main source of information to our residents of Library services and programs.

We the Creative (WTC) received the highest rating based upon submittal of an inclusive proposal, related previous experience with similar municipal contracts, presentation of materials, and qualifications. Staff checked WTC’s references with the cities of Long Beach and Santa Monica.

Both cities praised WTC’sproject team for their creative “outof the box”thinking, and the record of success they have achieved working with WTC. WTC will be a new vendor for Orange and the City has the ability to explore new options for the presentation of Our Orange, including the “lookand feel” of the publication.

The proposed agreement covers the design, printing, and mail preparation for twelve issues, starting with the Fall 2022 publication. The base cost is $282,912.45, which is inclusive of industry expected increases for paper. This base rate reflects an average decrease of $1,641.66, or 6.51%, in cost-per- issue below the average cost-per-issue for the 20 issues included in the current agreement and subsequent amendments. A 10% contingency of $28,291.25 is also included for unforeseen design and/or production related expenses, and unanticipated additional printing needs. The three-year agreement not-to-exceed amount is $311,203.70. During the term of the new agreement, should the actual cost of paper product exceed the expected industry standard increase, the City Manager will be authorized to execute an amendment to increase the compensation to adjust for the documented rise in cost. WTC will be responsible for providing documentation that verifies the actual increase in paper costs.

A portion of the cost of the agreement is offset by a $40,000 per calendar year contribution by the City’s waste hauler CR&R. This contribution provides space in each issue for valuable waste management and recycling information.

This agreement does not include postage, which is paid by the City directly to the US Postal Service.

Postage for the Our Orange is currently approximately $30,500 per year, and is prepaid each January/February.

This agreement will commence on April 1, 2022 to allow enough onboarding time for the vendor to meet the May 2022 deadline for the start of production of the Fall 2022 issue. The initial term of the agreement is approximately three years, covering twelve issues, terminating on May 31, 2025. The agreement allows the City Manager to execute an additional three year extension term (twelve additional issues) if the City is satisfied with the work product.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
In September 2010, the City entered into an agreement with CRW Systems Inc for the installation, data conversion, and training on the TrakIt software for the City’sLand Management System (LMS).

The system was used for the issuance and administration of Building Permits, Code Enforcement, and Planning records. As of the past few years, the software version has become outdated and has been plagued with issues including periodic system crashes, unintended inputs, and limited features.

Software support has not been responsive to service calls.

The City is now looking to implement a comprehensive and integrated cloud-based enterprise LMS which meets current and future business needs. To this end, staff has consulted with other agencies in similar situations including the cities of Santa Ana, Irvine, and the County of Orange. Staff has learned the challenges and complexity of selecting a fully comprehensive and integrated LMS for use citywide.

citywide. Because of the scope and complexity of an LMS, staff has determined the prudent approach is to seek professional consultant services to assist in the solicitation and selection of an LMS provider. PCG will ensure that all required functionality / data are defined to be scoped in the new LMS.

PCG has extensive experience and specializes in Land Management System consulting and has assisted local agencies with procurement and implementation services, some of which include the County of Orange; cities of Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Lake Forest, Aliso Viejo, Tustin, and Costa Mesa. Because of its vast experience and specialized knowledge in this kind of professional procurement services, staff is recommending award of the agreement to PCG.

The total amount of the agreement with PCG is $57,500 including a ten percent contingency. The agreement includes planning and project management; inventory of LMS users, application and record types, fees, forms/reports; future-state inventory of LMS capabilities; identification of potential LMS vendors and demos, and recommendations for go-forward procurement and implementation.

PCG’s services are expected to be completed within three and a half months after notice to proceed.

LAC will further identify and document opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness to operations, outlining specific processes and configurations that should be included in the soon to be proposed computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The proposed CMMS will come as a result of a competitive selection process that was recently completed and will be coming forward for City Council consideration in the next few months, after the evaluation by LAC is completed.

One notable aspect of the proposed evaluation will compare the current 2022 state against the recommendations made by LAC in their 2001 Final Report of Recommendations. LAC will evaluate the status of each of the 2001 Final Report Recommendations, documenting any impacts to operations.

Harry Lorick, the owner and principal of LAC, is also currently serving as President of the Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA). LAC possesses an impressive resume and familiarity with the niche area of maintenance management.

Potentially, staff could return to City Council for additional consulting services with LAC to provide guidance during the implementation of the new CMMS. The scope of those potential implementation services can only be fully identified as an outcome of this evaluation. If the services become an identified need, staff would propose them alongside the award of contract for the new CMMS.

Proposed Scope of Work
Evaluation of Maintenance and Operational Practices
City of Orange Public Works and Community Services Departments

This scope of services is based on a discussion with City staff in an on-site meeting on January 14th, 2022, and feedback via email on February 2, 2022.

SCOPE OF WORK OVERVIEW
The subject scope of work outlined herein is to be conducted by LA Consulting, Inc. (“LAC”) for the City of Orange (“City”) Public Works Department’s (“Department”) and Community Services Department (“CS Department”).

The project entails an evaluation of current processes, systems, and methods of both Department’s and CS Departments’ operations, including streets, traffic, stormwater, parks, facilities, and potable water, and a review of the recommendations from LAC’s Final Report from 2001. LAC will provide an overview of the current state of operations and maintenance and will outline specific processes and configuration that should be included in the implementation of the new computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). Further, LAC will identify and document opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness to operations offered by the new system. In addition to the work within the following scope, LAC will be available to support the implementation of the new system and the recommendations for future improvements by guiding staff in a program that will work for the City.

Successful completion of this project is dependent on the effective interaction and participation between LAC and Departmental personnel, as well as LAC’s experience. The approach has been developed to ensure effective and interactive communication to lead to a comprehensive result that reflects the Departments’ true needs that can be implemented in the new system.

WORK TASKS
TASK 1 – PROJECT INITIATION
The following tasks are intended to familiarize Departments’ employees with the approach LAC will execute during the evaluation and the guidance LAC will provide. Furthermore, these tasks serve to educate LAC of both Department’s current work processes and assets, as well as to collect information regarding current operations and business practices, input from Public Works and Community Services staff, management, and City Administration.

TASK 1.1 – PROJECT STARTUP
During this first task, we will begin our team planning efforts associated with the project. LAC will initiate the project immediately after the contract is signed. LAC staff will conduct an initial presentation with the Director of Public Works, Deputy Director, Director of Community Services, and the IT Project Manager (PM), along with related operations managers and analysts, to review the City’s objectives and their perception of the approach and procedures needed to compile and analyze their maintenance and operational information.

Up to ten (10) structured interviews will be conducted with key leadership, including the managers of Fleet, Maintenance, Water Operations, Community Services, Parks and other key staff that have a major impact on controlling and directing operations. Further, site visits will be conducted by the LAC team to observe general work performed and existing assets. The objective of these sessions is to develop working relationships with key staff and gain a general understanding of each of the objectives. Additional meetings may be held to refine the project’s 209

LA Consulting, Inc.© February 2022 Page 2 of 8 City of Orange, CA approach, work plan, and methodology to effectively accommodate the specific needs and desires of the City.

End Product: Key City staff will be consulted, and project concepts will be understood.

TASK 1.2 – PREPARE DETAILED WORK PLAN
LAC will prepare a detailed schedule and work plan based on our observations and discussions with each group in the initial task. The project tasks will be further refined with milestone changes if the information obtained from Task 1.1 warrants.

End Product: A detailed schedule and work plan will be prepared.

TASK 1.3 – ESTABLISH A REVIEW COMMITTEE
A Review Committee from both Public Works and Community Services will be established to ensure an effective project, with communication and credibility, among all levels of the organization. The group be updated at major milestones and will provide direction to LAC. In addition, the Committee will periodically review progress and accomplishments, providing LAC with guidance. The Committee members will develop a firsthand understanding of the project’s process and developments, as they are documented and presented. This method will promote a sound understanding of the analysis process and ensure the credibility of LAC’s findings and recommendations. It was recommended that the City appoint two in-house Study Coordinators (i.e. one from Public Works and another from Community Services) to work closely with LAC.

These two individuals will assist in researching and compiling any required operational data and act as a liaison between the Review Committee and LAC.

The Committee will consist of selected key City executive and management representatives.

They will work with the project team on the current Public Works and Customer Services information; and finally, the review of the findings and recommendations. In addition, the participants will identify contacts that will assist in compiling project data.

End Product: A Review Committee and the two Study Coordinators will be identified to work with LAC to ensure project credibility and assist in data research.

TASK 1.4 – CONDUCT ORIENTATION
A general orientation session will be conducted to further establish uniform understanding of LAC’s role between the Committee and the project team during the second week of the on-site effort. During this meeting, LAC will describe, in detail, the proposed approach, schedule, and identify any potential obstacles. A review of the systematic approach and the operational data that will be researched and compiled, will be presented to all Committee members and available employees, along with the benefits that can be expected from the system implementation.

End Product: A uniform understanding between staff participating in the evaluation and LAC as to the project objectives, work methods, and schedule.

TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION AND BASELINE PREPARATION
After a Review Committee has been established and orientation meetings have taken place, LAC will interview staff and collect data on all aspects of the City’s current Public Works and Community Service maintenance and operations. This will be accomplished through a series of sub-tasks described below.
210

LA Consulting, Inc.© February 2022 Page 3 of 8 City of Orange, CA TASK 2.1 – WORK HISTORY (CITY PERFORMS – LAC ANALYZES)
LAC will review work performed for each major activity within each group based on interviews and data from the Department’s CMMS database, MaintStar. The data compiled will be analyzed and will include person-days of annual work, by activity, as well as work units accomplished and cost per unit. This analysis will be performed for each activity.

End Product: A history of maintenance and operational activities will be documented for a multi-year basis.

TASK 2.2 – FEATURES INVENTORY AND ASSET COLLECTION REVIEW (CITY PERFORMS – LAC ANALYZES)
With the assistance of City employees, LAC will confirm the summaries of inventories of infrastructure features that relate to work being performed. Existing data files and spatial data, information from staff, and observations will be used to determine values. The City will assist in the actual research, with guidance from LAC.

Existing records, including CMMS, Finance, and GIS data, will be utilized in lieu of gathering data in the field. LAC will perform some limited confirmation of the information for accuracy.

End Product: Existing infrastructure features, inventories, and history will be compiled and confirmed.

TASK 2.3 – RESOURCE DATA (CITY PERFORMS – LAC ANALYZES) LAC will request a historical listing by general category for labor, equipment, and material resources used with the assistance of City employees. LAC shall determine the format after consultation with the Review Committee. Further, LAC will request the historical calculated avoidable overhead that has been applied to labor costs within the CMMS.

End Product: Resource data will be collected.

TASK 2.4 – FINANCIAL RESOURCE DATA (CITY PERFORMS – LAC

ANALYZES)
The existing systems identified, along with past budgetary information, will be used to collect the financial data. Historical workloads will be compiled from data found within the Department’s CMMS. This includes budgets compiled for the last two years; both in house and contract numbers will be compiled.

End Product: Workload and financial data will be captured.

TASK 2.5 – MANAGEMENT APPROACH AND PREPARATION OF BASELINE PAPER
All key strategic goals and functions identified in structured interviews will be further analyzed through the appraisal of available planning documents such as inventories, needs identification systems, complaints, routine maintenance schedules, activity guidelines, work methods, and work programs. The scheduling methods and assignment of work processes will be recorded and discussed with various staff. The work orders or log items that track work performed and hours/resources expended will be identified and observed. Finally, the control mechanisms, such as generated reports and analysis, will be evaluated. Any graphs and/or figures that track work effort, accomplishment, and expenditures will be obtained and evaluated. 211

LA Consulting, Inc.© February 2022 Page 4 of 8 City of Orange, CA These existing work processes will be documented in a short summary in context of the basic management processes of planning, organizing, scheduling, and controlling. In addition, the maintenance structure and organization will be identified, and general assignments and responsibilities of key staff will be outlined.

LAC will flowchart how work is currently identified, planned, organized, scheduled, performed, and monitored for the Department or maintenance yards using the information obtained in previous steps. All reporting information will be documented. Both proactive (preventative) and responsive maintenance will be identified.

LAC will outline the general workflow for each group, including data and automated system approaches for all groups. This subtask will be documented in a concise 7-12 page working paper and distributed to the Review Committee. LAC will present baseline information to Review Committee for their input.

End Product: Overview of existing management processes and current and historical data for each group, documented in a concise baseline working paper (7-12 pages).

TASK 3 – EVALUATE OPPORTUNITIES
The LAC team will use collected information and previous experience to compare historical and current maintenance and operations, as well as discover opportunities where additional improvement can be made. Comparisons will also be made to various other groups within the City, other comparable agencies, published benchmark data, and from LAC’s experience. The following subtasks will be performed in this effort:

TASK 3.1 – WORKFLOW ANALYSIS
An idealized workflow, borrowing from the American Public Works Association (APWA), National Association of City Engineers (NACE), and LAC’s experience, will be compared to the actual processes utilized within the Department. Any differences will be noted with specific opportunities identified and changes documented.

Opportunities for improvement may relate to streamlining and or reengineering processes, or the elimination of unnecessary steps. The current mission, vision, and goals will be compared to existing business processes and those of other successful benchmark agencies to determine alignment.

TASK 3.2 – WORK METHOD
A sample of (4-5) key activities within each group (i.e. Public works and Community Services) will be discussed by LAC with employees to determine crew size, equipment used, work method(s), quality of work, and productivity noted. Comparisons and opportunities for improvement will be identified, based on LAC’s experience, discussions with employees, and other agency data. This will include outlining specific activity work methods along with a flowchart of the work processes.

TASK 3.3 – RESOURCE AND ORGANIZATION EVALUATION
LAC will analyze historical activity frequencies or levels of service (LOS) using information collected in previous tasks. These LOS/frequencies will be compared from year to year, as well as with other comparable agencies and published benchmark data. 212

LA Consulting, Inc.© February 2022 Page 5 of 8 City of Orange, CA Further, LAC will review the operational structure versus actual day-to-day operations. Spans of control, staff mix, skills, and turnover, leave, and management parameters will be reviewed and benchmarked against other agencies, by work function.

TASK 3.4 – WORKLOAD AND PLAN
The procedures used by the City to develop annual maintenance budgets will be examined; including methodology for estimating work accomplished, annual labor hours, equipment resources, and average daily production using the information from previous tasks and discussions with maintenance employees, outlined in the baseline working paper.

This review will focus upon the relationship of funding to workload and will also cover sources of funding, allocation of the funds, the impact of funding and workload changes/constraints, and how maintenance expenditures are justified.

TASK 3.5 – TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION
LAC will review the City’s current databases, existing software platforms, and associated data models for all infrastructure and system operations as they relate to maintenance and operational functions. Technology, including wireless applications, GIS, GPS, and web-enabled capabilities, will be outlined. LAC will review the various inputs and outputs, developing an understanding of how the existing data is processed. A general logic flow will be developed that outlines the processes. LAC will also interview key employees who manage the databases.

LAC will outline the City’s current automated systems with operational functions, and any efforts needed to meet the desired system goals. Areas not covered, or that lack the desired results, will be documented.

End Product: Outline of current automated systems and functions and compared with desired system goals to identify effort needed to meet the goals.

TASK 3.6 – COMPARISON OF CURRENT PROCESSES TO 2001’s FINAL

REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
In this subtask, LAC will perform a simplified evaluation of current processes, systems, and methods for the groups. LAC will compare these against recommendations made in LAC’s 2001 Final Report, and the changes that have occurred in operations and maintenance. Further, LAC will evaluate the status of each of the 2001 Final Report recommendations, documenting any efficiency and/or effectiveness impacts to operations.

End Product: Outline comparison between current operations and idealized ones and identify opportunities for further improvement.

TASK 4 – DOCUMENT AND PRESENT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The findings of Task 3 and related subtasks will be compiled, documented, and presented by LAC to the Review Committee and to all relevant supervisors and managers for review and further discussion. Findings and recommendations related to processes, methods, resources, and technology will cover all basic management functions from work planning, organization, directing and controlling, and improving, and will highlight best business practices.

After the presentations, the information will be assembled into the working paper and submitted to the Committee for further comment and input. Upon receiving comments from the Committee, 213

LA Consulting, Inc.© February 2022 Page 6 of 8 City of Orange, CA the findings and related baseline information will be used to outline a series of initial recommendations. LAC will present the initial recommendations to both the Committee and to all impacted supervisors and managers in a meeting. Using their feedback, a draft final report will be developed and submitted. The working paper produced during this task will provide the information necessary to document benefits. Input and guidance from the Review Committee and key operations staff will be encouraged during both the findings and recommendations presentations to assist LAC in further refining the recommended solutions.

End Product: Working paper that documents initial findings (5 - 10 pages). In addition, a draft report will be compiled and submitted.

TASK 5 – DOCUMENTED ACTION PLAN WITH RECOMMENDATIONS
The action plan working paper will be finalized after meeting with City staff and a draft final document will be submitted. After the presentation, input from the Review Committee will be encouraged to assist LAC in refining recommendations for further improvement.

After all input and feedback is considered related to the draft working paper, a final report (25-35 pages) will be submitted to the City. The report will include explicit recommendations that, when implemented, will further improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. Both short- and long-term benefits and costs will be estimated. The focus will be on working with the employees at all levels from management, supervisors, and line staff to develop a “play book” or action plan that will allow the City to continue to pursue continuous improvement in the new system.

The final report will include an executive summary, baseline, findings, and recommendations sections covering policy, operational, procedural, and organizational recommendations. All recommendations will be related to facts collected during the project and the documented successes of benchmark agencies. This process will ensure buy-in among employees of recommendations that can be implemented.

The final report will outline specific actions and configurations that should be established in the new system, along with any operations and business practice suggestions.

End Product: A final written report for system improvements that documents baseline operations, evaluation findings, and recommendations, along with a 4-5-page executive summary will be submitted.

TASK 6 – MONTHLY STATUS AND QUALITY CONTROL
Monthly status reports will be prepared for the City. These reports will include a listing of all the project tasks with a summary status and a percent complete for each task.

End Product: Monthly status report will be provided.

 Provide relevant input with corresponding support data for working papers used for data collection.
 Staff must be available for meetings and follow-up within a two weeks’ notice and make attempt to schedule with one week.
 Coordination must occur for joint meeting dates and onsite reviews between the two coordinators to eliminate redundant effort and communication.

PROPOSED COST

LAC is comfortable estimating the cost by task in a lump sum costing basis, having done similar projects. Our experience in this type of effort and our knowledge of the area allows us to use our experience to make these estimates. As shown in the figure below, the total cost for the six tasks is $47,565.

This is a challenging assignment, and LAC has the capabilities and necessary resources to ensure a successful project with real and achievable short and long term recommendations outlined.

2. SUMMARY
The City currently has an agreement with Azarvand’sBuilding Department Services LLC, for plan review services for the City for an amount not to exceed $30,000. The amount of the original agreement has been expended. The proposed First Amendment will increase the agreement amount by $60,000 for a total amount not to exceed $90,000.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve a First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Azarvand’s Building Department Services LLC, in the amount of $60,000; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

2. Authorize the appropriation of $60,000 from the General Fund to expenditure account number 100.5013.51670.00000, Other Professional & Consulting Services.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this agreement is $60,000 and will be funded through general fund (100).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
d: Assure the development of the City occurs in a fashion that maximizes public safety.

Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
b: Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Due to increased property development activities for both residential and commercial areas, the plan check workload has been increasing and additional consultant services are needed to reduce plan check delays and meet customer’s expectations. To improve customer service levels, the City developed an agreement with Azarvard’sBuilding Department Services LLC to supplement our in- house plan check capabilities. The original agreement established on September 2, 2021 was for a total of $30,000. These funds have been expended and additional funding is needed to allow the City of Orange Printed on 3/3/2022Page 1 of 2

total of $30,000. These funds have been expended and additional funding is needed to allow the City’sBuilding and Safety Services to maintain adequate turnarounds for plan reviews through the end of this fiscal year.

The persistent elevated development activity within the City has made it hard to meet plan check deadlines without additional consultant support. Azarvant’s Building Department Services LLC is familiar with both the City’splan check process and operations, and has been very good in providing additional support. This Amendment will help the City’seffort in reducing any plan check backlog and will assist in maintaining consistency and flexibility in our plan check operations.

1. SUBJECT
First Amendment to Agreement with Yunex, LLC for On-Call Signal and Lighting Emergency Repair Services.

2. SUMMARY
The City is currently in the second year of a three-year agreement with Yunex, LLC, for an amount not-to-exceed $240,000. During this time, the City has experienced copper wire theft that continues to result in street light outages and the need for emergency repairs. The contract capacity needs to be increased by $300,000 to accommodate additional expenditures.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement with Yunex, LLC for On-Call Signal and Lighting Emergency Repair Services, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this First Amendment is $300,000 and will be funded in Capital Projects (500) through Minor Traffic Control Devices (16302).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
B: Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Subsequent to a competitive procurement, the City entered into an Agreement with Siemens Mobility Inc. (now Yunex, LLC,) in August 2020, to provide emergency signal and lighting repair services as needed. The Agreement is for an initial term of three years and an amount not-to-exceed $240,000.

Contained within is an optional extension which authorizes the City Manager to extend the Agreement for an additional two years and an amount not-to-exceed $160,000. Staff has not yet exercised the option to extend, as doing so would be premature since the initial term does not expire for another 18 months.

Unrelated to any future extension is the immediate need to increase the Agreement’scapacity by $300,000 during the initial term. This increase is necessary to cover unexpected expenditures (both actual and projected) associated with repairs that are due to recent and continuing copper wire thefts.

If approved, the Agreement would be amended to reflect a not-to-exceed amount of $540,000 (the City of Orange Printed on 3/3/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
223
Item #: 3.10. 3/8/2022 File #: 22-0070
If approved, the Agreement would be amended to reflect a not-to-exceed amount of $540,000 (the original $240,000 plus the additional $300,000) for the current three-year term. The optional two- year extension would be preserved and considered at the appropriate time.

From time to time, many municipalities must confront copper street light wire thefts. While the problem can be chronic in the case of certain metropolitan areas, Orange has been largely unaffected for the past decade. Rather, local occurrences are expected to be episodic, occurring in waves for many months at a time. This particular wave began last summer as the price of commodities, including recycled copper, has risen to a level that encourages these activities. Public Works staff have been reporting all wire theft activities to the Police Department, and responding to follow-up requests for information that may ultimately lead to prevention and prosecution of related crimes. Staff have also begun to explore methods for securing the lighting infrastructure, including fortified utility boxes. However, because the thefts have been occurring at random locations, the City would have to fortify all of its street lighting infrastructure city-wide to ensure that areas being targeted by thieves are protected. Doing so requires capital investment that far exceeds the cost of wire replacement.

No budget appropriation is being requested at this time. Funding for the amendment is already available through one of the City’smaintenance-type capital projects, Minor Traffic Control Devices (16302), which includes $150,000 appropriated as part of the FY 2022 mid-year budget adjustment.

The remaining $150,000 will be requested in increments, as part of the budget approval process and, if necessary, budget adjustment process for FY 2023. If the cessation of wire theft renders future budget requests unnecessary, a portion of the contract capacity added by this Amendment would remain unused.

Project Approach
Sagecrest’s approach to providing planning and administrative services, including representative tasks as appropriate for the class title assigned, is described below:

Review, analyze and process
discretionary case s consistent
with City codes, policies and
standards. Utilize City
electronic and paper files to
research previous and/or
related cases.

Sagecrest provides entitlement processing services for
development applications and management of City-initiated projects that may require general plan amendments, specific plans, reclassifications, Conditional Use Permits, subdivision maps, variances, design review, annexations, and other discretionary and administrative actions. Sagecrest planners are skilled project managers who provide excellent customer service to the applicant and the City. We guide the applicant through the entitlement process, timelines, technical studies, interdepartmental comments, revisions to the application, and the review and approval process. Team members utilize the
City’s historical files,
Geographic Information Systems, permit tracking software, and zoning code to respond to inquiries at the public counter and to research entitlements.

Prepare environmental
analysis, including, but not
limited to, Initial Studies and
Negative Declarations, as
required by the California
Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).

Sagecrest planners are well versed in current environmental law and preparing CEQA documents for discretionary projects or City- initiated plans and programs. The Sagecrest team includes planners who can prepare streamlining checklists, Initial Studies, (Mitigated) Negative Declarations, EIRs, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs, and all required CEQA notices. Sagecrest planners have also managed CEQA consultant teams. We have reviewed and commented on numerous CEQA documents from
outside agencies to ensure
the City’s comments and concerns
are represented. Christine Saunders, Principal, previously served as the CEQA planner for the City of Anaheim and provides CEQA technical support to the entire Sagecrest team.

Route plans to City
departments; consolidate
comments; and present
recommendations and
revisions to the applicant.

Work with other departments
to ensure consistency of
comments. Prepare staff
reports and presentations to
citizen committees and
decision-making bodies.

Sagecrest planners are experienced project managers.

Entitlement case processing generally entails routing plans to various City departments; consolidating comments; resolving internal inconsistencies; and presenting recommendations and revisions to the applicant. Once the application is complete, our planners will write clear, concise, and accurate staff reports and manage the project through public outreach, reviews and approvals by staff, Planning Commission, any other required approval body, and the City Council.

251

Maintain communication with
applicants, interested parties,
property owners, homeowner
associations, etc. Respond to
inquiries about projects from
residents and applicants.

Sagecrest takes pride in our communication and customer service with applicants, interested parties, property owners, homeowner associations, various governmental agencies, and other City departments. Our planners quickly learn the frequently asked questions (i.e. business license, special events, building inspection requests, etc.) and provide “one-stop shopping” at the public counter.

Prepare notices for public
meetings and hearings in
accordance with City and
CEQA requirements.

Sagecrest understands the importance of preparing timely, clear, concise and accurate public notices. We are experienced in preparing publications for the newspaper, posting on and/or near the project site and mailing notices to interested parties who may be affected by a proposed action.

Attend community meetings
and public hearings, as
required, and present reports
to various Boards,
Commissions, and the City
Council.

Sagecrest planners have solid presentation skills and have presented entitlement applications and reports to city councils, commissions, and community groups. We are often
commended for the ability our staff has to take complex issues and present them in a way that is clear and concise. We are passionate about working with stakeholders to communicate the direction of the City early in the process so they understand what the goals are and how to be a part of the ultimate solution.

Open, maintain and close
electronic and paper files in
accordance with City
procedures.

Proper records management and organization is crucial. Our planners have all worked for public agencies and understand the importance of working diligently to maintain the public record, proper publications, filing, indexing, and safekeeping of all proceedings of the Planning Commission and City Council. We work with the City Clerk to ensure the public record is kept permanently and is set up for efficient retrieval.

Review grading and building
plans for consistency with
discretionary approvals and
environmental mitigation, if
applicable.

Plan checking is completed in accordance with conditions of approval associated with each discretionary approval and applicable codes, ordinances and standards adopted by the City. 252

Second Amendment to Agreement with Michael Baker International for Community Development, HOME Investments and Partnerships Program, and special grant administration consulting services.

2. SUMMARY
The City currently has an agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. to provide Community Block Grant and HOME Investments and Partnerships Program consulting services.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this amendment is $120,000 and will be funded through the Community Development Block Grant Fund (310), Housing Grant Programs Fund (317), SB-2 Building Homes and Jobs Act Fund (312), Reimbursable Capital Projects Fund (550), and General Fund (100).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On September 14, 2021, Council approved the First Amendment with Michael Baker International (MBI) to provide reporting, monitoring, and compliance support with the administration of grants received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The recurring annual grant allocations received from HUD include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investments and Partnership Program (HOME). The CDBG Program is used to support decent housing and suitable environments through economic opportunities for low and moderate City of Orange Printed on 3/3/2022Page 1 of 2

Item #: 3.12. 3/8/2022 File #: 22-0068
decent housing and suitable environments through economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons. The HOME program is used to implement local housing strategies designed to increase homeownership and affordable housing. MBI has provided key support for these programs while staff transitions the duties left by the former Housing Analyst’sretirement in July and assesses the restructure of the Housing Division.

Expanding on this proposal, a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance is being included under HOME consulting services for the proposed Katella Terrace development project, an eligible expense under HOME funds. The project, a 74-unit affordable housing unit for seniors proposed at 1249 E. Katella Avenue, is requesting $200,000 in HOME funds and requires the NEPA clearance in order to qualify. Staff will be coming to Council to commit the HOME funds to the Katella Terrace development project at a later date.

Special Grant Assistance
MBI has been instrumental in assisting staff with reporting and compliance requirements for special purpose grants received from HUD, including the:
· Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) received for the preparation, prevention, and response to coronavirus. CARES funds to date have been used for business assistance and activities addressing homelessness.
· HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) received for housing and continuum of care services for those experiencing homelessness. MBI will be assisting with the development of a plan for the use of funds that is HUD compliant.

Additionally, MBI is assisting with reporting and consulting on grants received from the California Department of Housing and Urban Development (HCD). Grants received from HCD include:
· SB2 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) used to address homelessness. · Planning Grant Program (PGP) used for planning ordinance updates. · City Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) used for planning ordinance and specific plan updates.

Furthermore, MBI has experienced staff familiar with Successor Agency processes and activities related to housing. As such, MBI is providing consultation and training to ensure that reporting and compliance is accurate and timely.

Staff recommends approving the Second Amendment to the Agreement with MBI to assist with the management, reporting, and compliance of any HUD and HCD grants, as well as to advise on special grant administration, as grants become available. It is expected that the total cost of the consultant services with MBI will reduce as staff becomes more experienced and knowledgeable with the rules, regulations, and requirements of HUD, HCD, and Successor Agency.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Original Agreement and First Amendment
In September 2021, the City entered into an agreement with Iteris, Inc. (Iteris) to provide traffic engineering services to help City staff implement and deliver the Tustin Avenue/Rose Drive Corridor Regional Traffic Synchronization Program Project (Project). The Project is led by Orange, comprised City of Orange Printed on 3/3/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
275
Item #: 3.13. 3/8/2022 File #: 22-0123
Regional Traffic Synchronization Program Project (Project). The Project is led by Orange, comprised of six cities along the corridor, and funded primarily with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 dollars. A First Amendment was executed in February 2022, reflecting minor additions to the scope of work. Said Amendment did not require increasing the original contract amount, as the cost of the added scope was well within the original contract contingency.

Second Amendment
This type of project (traffic signal synchronization and equipment upgrades) is categorically different from traditional public works construction since it disproportionally involves procurement and field integration of “plugand play”equipment. Because much of the necessary equipment has extremely long lead times and their procurement lies on the critical path for project delivery, many municipal agencies that lead similar projects often employ hybrid project delivery methods, including “design- build” or “advance procurement,” to minimize project delays. For more competitive pricing, staff recommends the latter in this particular case. Doing so will better enable the City to meet its project delivery obligations to OCTA and respect time constraints on project funding.

Advance procurement will significantly reduce time for construction mobilization and prevent extensive delays related to existing supply-chain shortages and long lead times for materials.

Moreover, this approach will eliminate the potential of contractor markups on materials and equipment, which can be as high as 20%. And, because all of the traffic signal equipment identified for advance procurement is single-sourced and a majority of that equipment is sole-sourced, there is no expected benefit to bid out this equipment with the project’sfuture construction work. The advance procurement approach for this project was discussed with and approved by the City Attorney’soffice; and requires a Second Amendment to the contract. All traffic signal equipment identified in the Second Amendment will be ordered by Iteris in accordance with the City’spurchasing requirements; and either installed by the respective manufacturers or the eventual construction contractor, depending on the nature of the work.

Also included in the Second Amendment is the implementation of Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPMs) for City of Orange intersections along the Project corridor. As identified in the Project’s original application to OCTA, the City intends to use ATSPMs to continuously collect data at its intersections to proactively identify and correct deficiencies in signal timing. Previous Traffic Signal Synchronization Program projects (TSSP) within the City have implemented ATSPMs using Iteris’SPM Service. Most recently, Iteris’SPM Service, selected for its user-friendliness and unique features, was installed at City intersections along Main Street and Katella Avenue. To maintain consistency with previous deployments throughout the City, Iteris’SPM Services will be implemented at 19 intersections along Tustin Street in Orange for a period of three years as part of this Project. Iteris’cost proposal for SPM Service falls within Project’sestimates for ATSPMs.

The original contract amount was not-to-exceed $1,183,975.10. The Second Amendment would increase the contract amount by $872,430, totaling not-to-exceed $2,056,405.10. Per the funding guidelines for this TSSP project, 80% of the Project cost is funded by OCTA Measure M2 dollars, with the remaining 20% being shared by the six participating cities. All applicable funds have already been appropriated.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Original Agreement and First Amendment
In September 2021, the City entered into an agreement with Iteris, Inc. (Iteris) to provide traffic engineering services to help City staff implement and deliver the Tustin Avenue/Rose Drive Corridor Regional Traffic Synchronization Program Project (Project). The Project is led by Orange, comprised City of Orange Printed on 3/3/2022Page 1 of 3

Regional Traffic Synchronization Program Project (Project). The Project is led by Orange, comprised of six cities along the corridor, and funded primarily with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 dollars. A First Amendment was executed in February 2022, reflecting minor additions to the scope of work. Said Amendment did not require increasing the original contract amount, as the cost of the added scope was well within the original contract contingency.

Second Amendment
This type of project (traffic signal synchronization and equipment upgrades) is categorically different from traditional public works construction since it disproportionally involves procurement and field integration of “plugand play”equipment. Because much of the necessary equipment has extremely long lead times and their procurement lies on the critical path for project delivery, many municipal agencies that lead similar projects often employ hybrid project delivery methods, including “design- build” or “advance procurement,” to minimize project delays. For more competitive pricing, staff recommends the latter in this particular case. Doing so will better enable the City to meet its project delivery obligations to OCTA and respect time constraints on project funding.

Advance procurement will significantly reduce time for construction mobilization and prevent extensive delays related to existing supply-chain shortages and long lead times for materials.

Moreover, this approach will eliminate the potential of contractor markups on materials and equipment, which can be as high as 20%. And, because all of the traffic signal equipment identified for advance procurement is single-sourced and a majority of that equipment is sole-sourced, there is no expected benefit to bid out this equipment with the project’sfuture construction work. The advance procurement approach for this project was discussed with and approved by the City Attorney’soffice; and requires a Second Amendment to the contract. All traffic signal equipment identified in the Second Amendment will be ordered by Iteris in accordance with the City’spurchasing requirements; and either installed by the respective manufacturers or the eventual construction contractor, depending on the nature of the work.

Also included in the Second Amendment is the implementation of Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPMs) for City of Orange intersections along the Project corridor. As identified in the Project’s original application to OCTA, the City intends to use ATSPMs to continuously collect data at its intersections to proactively identify and correct deficiencies in signal timing. Previous Traffic Signal Synchronization Program projects (TSSP) within the City have implemented ATSPMs using Iteris’SPM Service. Most recently, Iteris’SPM Service, selected for its user-friendliness and unique features, was installed at City intersections along Main Street and Katella Avenue. To maintain consistency with previous deployments throughout the City, Iteris’SPM Services will be implemented at 19 intersections along Tustin Street in Orange for a period of three years as part of this Project. Iteris’cost proposal for SPM Service falls within Project’sestimates for ATSPMs.

The original contract amount was not-to-exceed $1,183,975.10. The Second Amendment would increase the contract amount by $872,430, totaling not-to-exceed $2,056,405.10. Per the funding guidelines for this TSSP project, 80% of the Project cost is funded by OCTA Measure M2 dollars, with the remaining 20% being shared by the six participating cities. All applicable funds have already been appropriated.
