While the work was completed and invoiced at that time, documentation memorializing the authorization was not executed.

All funds for the current contract have been expended or are committed; therefore, this amendment will require an additional allocation from the General Fund.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: AUTHORIZATION OF PAYMENT TO MELTON DESIGN GROUP FOR

WORK PERFORMED AT HEWITT PARK
DATE: AUGUST 19, 2025

SUMMARY
The City of Oroville previously entered into a professional services agreement with Melton Design Group, Inc. (MDG) for the design and construction administration of the Hewitt Park improvement project. In 2023, during the tenure of prior staff, MDG was verbally authorized to perform additional work without formal written authorization. While the work was completed and invoiced at that time, documentation memorializing the authorization was not executed.

DISCUSSION
During the early stages of the Hewitt Park improvement project, former City staff— specifically a project manager no longer employed by the City—authorized MDG to complete several additional tasks. These included:
 A post-City grading topographic survey (performed by MHM and invoiced through MDG)
 Ramp design, details, and grading plan revisions
 Additional field staking
 Onsite inspections and direction to accommodate field conditions These services were invoiced and paid, but due to the lack of a formal written amendment and subsequent staff turnover, this expenditure was never documented in a Council-approved action or within the contract file.
14 Item 2.

Page 2 ends

The work approved and performed was done in an effort to save the City a significant amount of money in the long run. By adjusting the project scope and design to match the evolving site conditions and needs, and by coordinating efforts with City crews, MDG helped avoid costly delays, design conflicts, and potential change orders that would have resulted in even greater expenses later in the project.

MDG has requested that the City now retroactively authorize the $9,383.60 in services previously provided. Current staff has reviewed the scope and nature of the work and has confirmed that the services were rendered in good faith and were necessary for the completion of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this amendment will increase the original contract amount by $9,383.60. All current project funds have been expended or committed; therefore, the increase will require an allocation from the General Fund to cover the amount.

ACTION REQUESTED -
AUTHORIZE PAYMENT TO MELTON DESIGN GROUP, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,383.60 FOR WORK PERFORMED IN 2023.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ALYSSA STUTZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 3562 WITH BENEN FOR
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES – PEDESTAL SEPARATION

PROJECT
DATE: AUGUST 19, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving a contract with BenEn in the amount of $8,522.00 for electrical engineering services to prepare drawings for a new electrical pedestal to be submitted to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). This project will separate the electrical service currently shared between 1305 Myers and City-owned streetlights along the adjacent block.

DISCUSSION
Several years ago, the City previously sold 1305 Myers, an old bus station, to a private property owner. The space has since been converted into outdoor dining. The existing electrical pedestal on the property provides power to both the old bus stop and the City’s streetlights along the adjacent block. As a result, the private property owner has been inadvertently billed for the streetlight power for several years.

In order to resolve this issue, the City will install a new pedestal to provide dedicated service for the streetlights, ensuring that the property owner is no longer responsible for City electrical costs. BenEn will provide the necessary electrical engineering drawings for submittal to PG&E so that the new service can be installed.

The City reached out to three electrical engineering service providers. BENEN was the most responsive.

FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount is $8,522.00 and will be funded from the Capital Projects Fund.

There will be additional future cost for actual pedestal installation and trench work. 26 Item 3.

The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis.

8.2. Endorsements. Each general liability and automobile liability insurance policy shall be issued by insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A-:VII. Each general liability insurance policy shall be endorsed with the specific language of Section 8.2.1 below.

CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

8.2.1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

8.2.2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

8.2.3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

8.2.4. Notwithstanding the provisions included in any of the ISO Additional Insured Endorsement forms, CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amounts of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to the CITY in excess of the limits and 31 Item 3.

A-3562
coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss will be available to the CITY.

8.2.5. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and agrees to require all subcontractors to do likewise.

8.2.6. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

8.2.7. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been submitted to the CITY and approved of in writing, except in the case of cancellation, for which ten (10) days’ written notice shall be provided.

8.2.8. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

8.3. Self Insured Retention/Deductibles. All policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the CITY Attorney. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’s behalf upon the CONTRACTOR’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONTRACTOR for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

8.4. Certificates of Insurance. The CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall provide written evidence of current automobile coverage to comply with the automobile insurance requirement.

8.5. Failure to Procure Insurance. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2 above.

9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JASON WINES, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: CONTRACT FOR FLOCK SAFETY AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE

READER (ALPR) CAMERA SYSTEM
DATE: AUGUST 19, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider a contract to renew the Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Camera System.

DISCUSSION
The Oroville Police Department is seeking to renew its contract with Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to enhance public safety and investigative efficiency. These cameras have proven instrumental in locating stolen vehicles, identifying wanted suspects, and aiding in critical investigations such as kidnappings and violent crimes. Flock ALPRs provide real-time alerts and a searchable database, enabling officers to respond proactively and effectively. As crime trends evolve, maintaining access to this technology is essential for modern policing and community protection. The system supports transparency and accountability with secure data retention policies and audit trails. Renewing the contract ensures continuity in crime prevention efforts and maximizes the department’s ability to safeguard Oroville’s residents and property with cutting-edge, evidence-driven tools.

The Oroville Police Department is requesting the Council’s approval for a two-year contract, at a cost of $244,000.00 ($122,000.00 / year). This new price is discounted from the previous rate from Flock, in response to the Oroville Police Department no longer utilizing the gunshot detection cameras in favor of the new live camera system that was previously approved by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is already budgeted for $155,000.00 / Year. Price was reduced due to the removal of Raven cameras from the network. The balance difference will be used to fund the new live feed cameras from Flock.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ALYSSA STUTZ; DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: ADDITIONAL STOP SIGNS ON BIRD STREET AT DOWNER STREET DATE: AUGUST 19, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall provide direction to staff regarding the installation of additional stop signs at the intersection of Bird Street and Downer Street to convert the intersection from a two-way to an all-way stop. Currently, Bird Street operates as a through street, with stop control only on Downer Street. Due to consistent pedestrian traffic crossing Bird Street, staff have been requested to convert the intersection to an all-way stop to improve pedestrian safety and reduce vehicle-pedestrian conflicts.

DISCUSSION
Bird Street is a key corridor with regular vehicular traffic and notable pedestrian activity.

There is a public parking lot at the southeast corner which invites foot-traffic to the intersection. The current two-way stop configuration requires only Downer Street traffic to stop, which can create hazards for pedestrians crossing Bird Street due to continuous eastbound and westbound vehicle flow.

Staff has reviewed the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) guidelines for all-way stop installations.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
If direction to staff is to proceed with conversion of the intersection from a two-way to an all-way stop, the Public Works Department will:
· Install stop signs for eastbound and westbound Bird Street approaches. · Refresh pavement markings, add STOP pavement markings. · Monitor compliance and effectiveness after installation. · Provide temporary public outreach and notification to nearby residents and businesses prior to installation.

All work will comply with CA MUTCD standards and City specifications. 91 Item 7.

Page 2 ends

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of materials is estimated at $1,200.00 and will be funded through the Public Works Street Signs and Markings budget 1001170-6225.

ACTION REQUESTED -

PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS

FOR EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND TRAFFIC ON BIRD STREET AT THE INTERSECTION OF BIRD STREET AND DOWNER STREET.
