NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OXNARD:
SECTION 1. The Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map is 671
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: January 18, 2022
internally consistent with the provisions of the City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan SECTION 3. The City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
SECTION 4. The City Council finds that the Project site associated with the Tentative Subdivision Map is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located.
SECTION 5. The City Council determines that the residential project is the best use for the subject project site.
SECTION 6. The City Council determines that the Tentative Subdivision Map is in the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents.
SECTION 7. In adopting this Resolution for the Tentative Subdivision Map, the City Council finds and determines the project is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act because an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Final MND 2004-11) that was prepared for the 2004 Dunkirk Drive Project was considered by the City Council at the public hearing for the Portofino Place project. The Addendum to the Final MND was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Oxnard is the Lead Agency. The Addendum is appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15164 since only minor changes and additions to the MND are necessary to address the Project changes and no circumstances exist calling for the preparation of a subsequent negative declaration pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15162 and 15163. With implementation of the MND 2004-11 mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project will have a significant effect upon the environment.
SECTION 8. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the City Council Staff Report and all attachments thereto, the City Council finds:
Consistent with California Government Code Section 66474, a legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings:
672
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: January 18, 2022
(a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.
As described in the staff report, the project site currently has a 2030 General Plan land use designation of Business Research Park (BRP) and a zoning of Business Research Park (BRP). As part of this proposal, the project is concurrently requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation BRP to Residential Medium (RM) and a Zone Change from Business Research Park to Multiple-Family (R-2). If the aforementioned General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are approved, the proposed subdivision, inclusive of the 90, two-story condominium dwelling units each with attached 2-car garages, 214 total visitor parking spaces, common swimming pool and playground area, 3,281 square-foot recreation building, entry gates and perimeter walls, private roads, detention basins, landscaping and associated site improvements at the subject project site would be consistent with the policies and provisions of the 2030 General Plan because the proposed land use of the project is of a multi-family use, which is an allowed use pursuant to the Residential Medium (RM) land use designation of the 2030 General Plan Plan. The subject project site has an area of 7.61 acres which allows a maximum of 94 residential units; however, the project is requesting to construct 90 residential units. The project density at 90 residential units is equal to 12 units per acre which is consistent with the RM land use designation of 12 to 18 units per acre. The subdivision of the project site as proposed with 90 condominium units and associated site improvements would be consistent with the 2030 General Plan if the associated General Plan Amendment is approved. Additionally, the condominium units have been designed to meet the required development standards identified in the R-2 zone (Multiple-Family) and all of the advisory standards contained within City Council Resolution No. 7658 that are intended to encourage amenities that enhance the livability of condominiums with the exception of the required 10-foot by 10-foot dimensions for private patios; however, the land area of the project’s private patios ranges from 450 to 1,530 square feet which exceeds the minimum land area of 100 square feet provided by private patios. Therefore, the project is in conformance with the 2030 General Plan and the elements thereof and other adopted standards. No specific plan is applicable to the subject site. Therefore, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported. (b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
As described in the staff report, the design and improvement of the proposed development is consistent with applicable provisions of the City’ 2030 General Plan because the proposed subdivision and development of the multi-family residential use supports the proposed development improvements, with the required infrastructure.
Additionally, the proposed subdivision has been designed to meet the required minimum lot area and density identified in the R-2 zoning (Multiple-Family) as prescribed by the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium. No specific plan is 673
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: January 18, 2022
applicable to the subject site. Additionally, the design and improvements of the project will provide for development that furthers the intent of the Housing Element to realize the potential of neighborhood improvements that increase housing opportunities in the Sea View Estates Neighborhood. As such, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported.
(c) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
As described in the staff report, the site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because the division of land includes a residential project that is consistent with the Multiple-Family (R-2) development standards and has been designed to be architecturally compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because the site is relatively level and an environmental assessment of the site did not find any soil or geologic conditions that would make the site physically unsuitable for development. The site is not subject to soil and/or geologic conditions indicating substrate instability. As proposed and conditioned, the project will be consistent with the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium which the project is seeking a General Plan Amendment concurrent with the Tentative Subdivision Map, which requires residential uses to be designed pursuant to the R-2 development standards such as: parking, minimum lot area, density, side yard setback and height. The subject site is adequate in terms of size, and is designed to meet the development standards prescribed in the R-2 zone. Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee and was determined that it would have no significant impact on the public health, safety, or welfare and the project plans have been reviewed by all applicable departments and outside agencies, which include the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments. Based on the aforementioned, this project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported.
(d) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
As described in the staff report, the project is concurrently requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation BRP to Residential Medium (RM) and a Zone Change from Business Research Park (BRP) to Multiple-Family (R-2). The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development because the project is being designed to be in conformance with the density allowed under the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium and the R-2 zoning. The subject project site has an area of 7.61 acres which allows a maximum of 94 residential units; however, the project is requesting to construct 90 residential units. The project density at 90 residential units is equal to 12 units per acre which is consistent with the RM land use designation of 12 to 18 units per acre. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because it is located within a developed urban area and will be served by existing adequate public utilities as identified in the Addendum to the adopted 674
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: January 18, 2022
Mitigated Negative Declaration 2004-11. Additionally, there are no identified physical constraints that would prohibit development of the proposed residential project.
Therefore, the project does not meet this finding, which means the Project can be supported.
(e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
As described in the staff report, the design of the proposed land division and parcel improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because it is located within a developed urban area of the City that contains no environmentally sensitive habitat and/or species as identified in Addendum No. 1 to Final MND 2004-11. The project site is not considered to be conducive to important biological resources or their habitat.
Additionally, the project site does not have any natural standing bodies of water, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities. Federally protected wetland communities are not thought or known to exist on the site and the project site is not located within a Biological Resources Area which is known or thought to meet habitat needs for plants and animals or promote wildlife migration or movement. Additionally, the project is not designated nor determined to be an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area. As such, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported. (f) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
As described in the staff report, the project would involve the construction 90, two-story condominium dwelling units, inclusive of 9 affordable units each with attached 2-car garages, 214 total visitor parking spaces, common swimming pool and playground area, 3,281 square-foot recreation building, entry gates and perimeter walls, private roads, detention basins, landscaping and associated site improvements that are not anticipated to use or store large quantities of hazardous materials. However, potentially hazardous materials such as fuels, lubricants, and solvents would be used during grading and construction of the proposed project, but their use and disposal would be to applicable standards and law so as to not create environmental or health issues. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems because, as indicated by Finding 2.a above, it would utilize existing adequate public utilities, namely water and sewer.
Construction activities, anticipated uses, and development design will be subject to standard construction requirements of the Building, Fire, and Traffic Codes. Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee and was determined that it would have no significant impact on the public health, safety, or 675
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: January 18, 2022
welfare and the project plans have been reviewed by all applicable departments and outside agencies, which include the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments. Consequently, this project does not meet this finding, which means the Project can be supported. (g) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
As described in the staff report, the design of the proposed land division and parcel improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public-at-large, for access through or use of property within the subdivision because, as conditioned, no buildings would be located in the area of the existing public utilities easements, all blanket easements or other easement that are no longer needed by the City shall be abandoned, and there is no need for new or additional easement(s) for the public-at-large. The project site is currently vacant. Additionally, the land division has been configured to continue to allow for Portofino Place, which currently bisects the parcel, to provide access to the residences in the Oxnard Sea View Estates Neighborhood which is accessed off of Fifth Street and Dunkirk Drive. As such, this project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported.
SECTION 9 This Resolution shall not become effective unless and until the City Council adopts the Addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration 2017-04 and approves the associated General Plan Amendment (PZ No. 20-620-02), and Zone Change (PZ No. 20-570-02). If the City Council fails to approve the General Plan Amendment or Zone Change, then this Resolution shall become null and void and be of no further force and effect.
SECTION 10. Based on the findings set forth herein, the PCity Council hereby approves Planning and Zoning Permit No. 20-300-02 (Tentative Subdivision Map), subject to the attached conditions of approval.
SECTION 11. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. 676

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. N.1
DATE: January 18, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: City of Oxnard Tree Program Review. (10/10/10)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the City of Oxnard Tree Program Review conducted by Dudek. (Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0.) (Presentation will be live upon consultant's request.)
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the Public Works Department bid and selected the consultant team, Dudek, to conduct a comprehensive review of the City’s tree program. Dudek was provided with key insights into City practices, datasets for analysis, and contact information to coordinate with internal and external stakeholders. Dudek analyzed the 1988 Landscape Standards and City Code Tree Ordinance to determine specific areas that could be improved. These recommendations are contained in the Tree Program Review. Additionally, Dudek did an analysis of the City tree inventory, operating budget, and staffing levels, then compared this information to other cities of similar size.
It should be noted that in 2020, City staff made several presentations regarding the restoration of tree and landscape maintenance throughout the City. In these presentations, the tree estimate was 56,000. This number was based on an older estimate from a 2013 tree inventory by West Coast Arborists (WCA). This year, staff reviewed the 2013 WCA inventory and compared that information with current GIS data. The result is a current estimate of 48,806 trees, composed of 137 genera and 261 species. These trees are in sites such as parks, streets, medians, parkways, front/side yards within the public rights-of-way, and open space areas.
This Review does not provide recommendations for individual trees that are planted throughout the City, but rather guidelines to use with dominant species, site conditions to prioritize, and summaries of current practices and tree assets.
DISCUSSION
The intent of the Tree Program Review (Review) is to provide the information necessary to make informed decisions about the future management of citywide trees and the creation of a City Urban Forest Management Plan.
The Review has three recommendations:
1. The City Must Provide Funds to Support Urban Forest Maintenance. 712
At its current staffing levels, the City does not have enough staff members to complete maintenance requests in a timely manner, nor establish a routine maintenance cycle for City-owned trees. The City employs 7.23 fewer FTEs than the average municipal tree program when compared to cities with population sizes similar to Oxnard. Investing in the management and maintenance of the City’s tree inventory will contribute to mitigating defects before failures occur, and potentially decrease the costs incurred from liability claims filed against the City.
2. The City Should Complete a Financing Study of the Tree Program.
Further information is needed to fully understand the budget and financing implications of increased tree maintenance and management activities of the Tree Program. A detailed understanding of what the City will need to sustainably manage the tree population will provide decision makers with a clear picture of the per-tree costs to plant and water new trees, maintain an industry standard pruning cycle (e.g. 3-5 years), remove dead trees, and other management actions.
3. The City Should Complete an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) to Guide Long-Term Budget and Management Decisions.
In conjunction with, or immediately following a financing study, the City should begin the process to develop an UFMP. The UFMP would establish a vision and goals for the Tree Program based on the priorities and values of staff, elected officials, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. The goals would not only provide the basis for annual totals of trees to plant, prune, and remove, but also strategies to increase community participation, determine City-wide canopy cover, and prioritize where resources would be most effectively used.
The key findings of the Tree Program Review include:
Current funding and staffing levels are below what is needed to manage the City tree inventory.
Current funding levels allow for one tree trimmer and one groundsworker to conduct various tree maintenance services including pruning, establishment care, pest management, and watering of the trees within the City’s tree inventory. As a result, City tree maintenance is largely conducted in reaction to resident requests, with little active maintenance of the City’s 33,654 General Fund trees. Cities with populations comparable to Oxnard (100,000–249,000) have an average of 11.8 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions for the management of the City tree population whereas the City currently only has 2 dedicated FTEs. Additionally, other cities with populations comparable in size to Oxnard have annual tree maintenance budgets of $1.3 to $1.9 million.
This variation in maintenance budgets depends largely on the number of trees in each city. The FY 2021-22 Oxnard budget has $920,741 for General Fund tree maintenance. However, $354,641 is for staff and administration and $566,100 is for the one-time-only Measure E grid pruning of 6,660 trees within the arterial streets. The Special Districts Division is responsible for 15,152 trees within the City tree inventory and has spent $134,586, mostly in Riverpark CFD, for contracted tree maintenance services since July 1, 2021.
The City needs to complete an updated tree inventory.
An inventory of City managed trees was last completed in 2013 by West Coast Arborists. This inventory was reviewed by staff in 2021 using the City GIS system and found the current number to be approximately 48,806.
The City tree inventory should be updated every 3-5 years so City leadership can base decisions on current and accurate data. . Maintaining the inventory can be accomplished if the City can actively maintain all trees in its inventory.
The City-managed tree inventory is not prepared for climate change. 713
Climate change is predicted to cause substantial negative impacts to commonly planted street tree species in California. Based on available research and data, up to 34% of Oxnard’s tree inventory contains species that are predicted to be heat- or water-sensitive in the next 30–100 years.
The 1988 Landscape Standards must be updated.
The 1988 Landscape Standards document is used by multiple City departments to make tree management decisions. Updating the Landscape Standards is an opportunity to strengthen tree protection policies, implement a new tree species palette for City Departments and developers, and improve tree planting standard details. In addition, the Landscape Standards document is the basis for establishing the City as the responsible party for maintaining trees in areas that other comparable cities are typically not responsible to maintain, such as front yards, walls and fences, and residential tract entries.
The City would benefit from an Urban Forest Management Plan.
The findings presented in this Review describe the current state of the City’s Tree Program. This Review should be the first step of a comprehensive urban forest management plan (UFMP) process that provides a roadmap for tangible actions the City can take towards sustainable funding and management of its urban forest program. A UFMP will provide the framework for the management practices and policies that will help guide the City toward a resilient urban forest.
Future considerations that will be brought to the City Council include:
Tree Inventory.
Staff and consultants are working together to analyze the tree inventory to validate the estimated count, while also identifying areas where replacement, new planting, and removal are necessary based on the criteria provided in this Tree Program Review. A key question will be, “Should the City continue to be responsible for maintaining trees that are on private property, but within the public right-of-way?”. This accounts for nearly 50% of the total City tree inventory and therefore has long-term budget implications for a sustainable program.
Tree maintenance budget and staff size.
Staff and consultants will analyze the maintenance and services that are required for a 3 - 5 year pruning cycle.
Based on a future policy-level decision to continue maintaining the residential trees within the public right-ofway, the costs, staff size, and contractor options will be presented to the City Council for future budget consideration.
Revise 1988 Landscape Standard and City Code
Both the Public Works and the Community Development Departments will work together to provide recommendations to the City Council for revisions of the Landscape Standards and City Code that meet the needs of the community, increase efficiency, and address issues of climate change and water reduction.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. The cost for the professional services agreement with Dudek was $40,000. Any future Financing Studies or the development of an Urban Forest Management Plan will require additional funding, which staff will recommend in future operating budgets for the Council’s consideration. 714
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on December 28, 2021 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

BACKGROUND
On March 16, 2021, the City Council approved Agreement A-8294 with Brown and Caldwell, in the amount of $843,344, for design services for the Primary Clarifiers and Activated Sludge Tanks Improvement Project. The initial scope of work included:
Develop a clear and concise preliminary design report (PDR) outlining seismic requirements, odor control, improved access and site safety, new mechanical equipment, pipework and appurtenances, treatment process efficiency, and effluent water quality.
Provide a complete set of design drawings, specifications, and bid documents that incorporate the results of the PDR.
Provide a bid item list with a cost estimate to be used for budgetary purposes by the City. Provide bid and construction phase services and support. Develop record drawings representing the final installation.
CIP Reference
Project No. 186607 - Primary Clarifiers and Activated Sludge Tanks Improvement Project - CIP 2021-2026 - Adopted May 18, 2021 – Pages 161.
DISCUSSION
As part of the original scope of work Brown and Caldwell developed a PDR that included a basis for design, treatment and equipment options, life cycle costs, and a preliminary construction cost estimate. Two workshops were held with the 801
Wastewater Division, Public Works Engineering, and Brown and Caldwell. Through the PDR process additional design parameters were identified as follows:
Tier 2 structural analysis of the primary clarifiers required to determine California Building Code compliance.
The Tier 2 structural analysis is required to comply with the California Building Code. The analysis will determine the amount of structural reinforcement/modification that is required to extend the life of the clarifiers Replacement of additional mechanical pipework both above and below ground. During the PDR process the primary clarifiers and activated sludge tanks were drained for inspection. During this process and upon closer inspection it was determined additional pipework and equipment has reached the end of its useful life and would need to be replaced.
Bio-win wastewater treatment process simulator to model the effects of removing the bio-towers from service.
The PDR identified additional treatment methods required within the activated sludge tanks to make up for biotower nutrient removal. By running a bio-win model different treatment scenarios can be simulated to identify aeration and mixing zones required for the final design. Changing the activated sludge process from two serpentine tanks to six parallel tanks with anaerobic and swing zones. The original scope of work called for replacement of existing equipment, however through the PDR it was determined that changing the configuration of the tanks would provide operational flexibility. Additional odor control analysis. In addition to traditional odor control measures Brown and Caldwell recommended taking a holistic approach by analyzing process changes, existing polymer dosing, and other chemical treatment to reduce odor.
Brown and Caldwell provided a proposal for the additional work required to deliver a fully integrated design that will allow for:
Full rehabilitation and structural reinforcement for the primary clarifiers, including replacement of underground pipework
Increased odor control efforts
Decommissioning and eventual demolition of the bio-towers Additional mechanical/structural design and remediation for the activated sludge tanks Construction phase services associated with treatment process changes The proposal was reviewed by the City Engineer, the Wastewater Division Manager, and the Supervising Civil Engineer.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount of this First Amendment to Agreement A-8294 with Brown and Caldwell shall not exceed $330,069 with a new not to exceed contract amount of $1,173,413 for professional design services. The Primary Clarifiers and Activated Sludge Basins Improvement Project No. 186607 has available appropriations of $2,600,000 from the Wastewater Capital Fund (617) for this phase of the Project.

BACKGROUND
The Oxnard Fire Department (OFD) is an all-hazards agency, providing response for a full range of emergency and nonemergency services to the community. These services include, but are not limited to fire suppression, Urban Search & Rescue, emergency medical service, hazardous materials response, vehicle and industrial accident response, ocean and surf rescue, public fire and life safety education, fire investigation, regulation of hazardous material uses, disaster preparedness and inspection of new construction. In the calendar year 2021 OFD responded to 19,227 calls for service.
The OFD fleet consists of eight (8) frontline and six (6) reserve fire engines.
On June 29, 2021, City Council approved the FY21/22 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget that included $2,550,000 in Lease Purchase allocation for the purchase of three (3) fire engines. The three (3) new engines will replace one (1) front line engine that was manufactured in 2005 and two (2) additional front line engines manufactured in 2009. The average mileage for the three (3) engines to be replaced is 130,000 miles. These fire engines are costing nearly twice as much in vehicle maintenance annually compared to newer engines and will be placed in reserve status. Placing the engines into reserve status will allow the retirement of three (3) current reserve status engines that have exceeded the National Fire Protection Association 1901 Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus suggestions that a fire engine service life not exceed 25 years; the engines that will be taken out of service are now 25 years old.
DISCUSSION
Fire Engines
The OFD engine fleet currently consists of eight (8) frontline and six (6) reserve engines. The frontline engines are assigned one per station and are dispatched to emergencies based on the closest resource. Reserve engines are placed in 849
service when a frontline engine is being repaired or when additional staffing is required for mutual aid response or preventative increase in staffing due to a weather event or other known issue in the area.
The City of Oxnard does not currently have a vehicle replacement plan for fire engines, however practice at Los Angeles Fire Department is to replace frontline apparatus after ten (10) years of service and both Ventura County and Ventura City replace apparatus after twelve (12) years. Currently five (5) of our frontline engines are 12 to 17 years old with respective mileage between 103,719 - 150,318 miles.
Fire engines are customized vehicles that may take up to one year to assemble. The three (3) engines identified to be moved to reserve status are E62, E64, and E67. These engines responded to an average of 2,570 calls in 2021, it can be assumed by the time the new vehicles are assembled each frontline engine will log an additional 10,000 miles.
The following table identifies the 8 frontline and 6 reserve fire engines. It is recommended E62, E64, and E67 be replaced and moved into reserve status, allowing E162, E163 and E165 to be taken out of service.

Pursuant to City of Oxnard Ordinance Number 2943, adopted June 19, 2018, the use of “piggyback,” whereby the City 850
utilized another agency or jurisdiction’s solicitation results but enters into a separate contract or issues a separate purchase order with the vendor. For the procurement of the three (3) engines, OFD will “Piggyback” on City of Los Angeles Contract #59710 with Pierce Fire Engines, through the region’s representative company South Coast Fire Equipment, valid through May 31, 2022.
OFD, in partnership with Oxnard Fleet Services and South Coast Fire Equipment have worked hand in hand since the budget adoption to customize the fire engine build to incorporate a “clean cab design”. The clean cab design is one step in the commitment OFD has made to reduce personnel exposure to carcinogens. As cancer is the leading cause of firefighter deaths, the Department is dedicated to taking all cancer prevention measures in the designs of future apparatus, stations, and PPE. However, on December 31, 2021, just after the specification for the engines was finalized and only two days after South Coast Fire Engine provided the final quote, OFD was notified that the price would increase by 7% on February 1. As the clean cab design deviates from the specification utilized by the City of Los Angeles, Pierce is not obligated to honor the contract pricing. A 7% increase is equal to $57,347 per engine, an increase of $172,042 for the three (3) engines.
South Coast Fire Equipment has provided two pricing options. The first is a prepayment option of $867,786.07 per engine including tax, bond, and fees; $2,603,358.21 total. The second option is payment on delivery for a cost of $897,010.44 per engine; $2,691,031.32. To take advantage of the significant cost savings, prepayment is requested for this purchase.
The three (3) engines identified for replacement will be taken out of service and evaluated to be donated to a regional fire academy to train future firefighters or provided to our sister city Ocotlan to serve their community.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for three engines is $2,603,358.21.
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget includes an appropriation and lease proceeds of $2,550,000 in the Lease Purchase Equipment Fund (313)/Project 222201. Approval of the budget appropriation request of $53,359 will fully fund the acquisition of the fire engines and recognize the additional amount of anticipated lease proceeds. Annual payments for the engines under the lease purchase will be included in future budget requests.
The cost to upfit and equip an engine to be response ready is approximately $165,000 per apparatus. Upfitting will take place once the engines have been built, which is estimated to be one year from the placement of the order. The Fire Department will request funds for upfitting to be allocated in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Operating Budget.
