Veronica Terriquez, UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Directo r presented to Council. A significant study commissioned by the Oxnard City Council and conducted by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC.
A significant study commissioned by the Oxnard City Council and conducted by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) th at highlights the challenges and barriers facing young adults in Oxnard. Utilizing federal funding from the American Rescue Plan, the City Council commissioned the UCLA CSRC to study the widening gap that was exacerbated by the pandemic between high- and low-income families, and the impacts to young people from lower - income and working-class backgrounds. Led by the UCLA CSRC Director, Professor Veronica Terriquez, the research draws on extensive data from the 2023–24 Thriving Youth Study (TYS), a youth-led initiative involving over 3,000 local residents aged 18 to 34.
10 OCTOBER 8, 2024 OXNARD CITY COUNCIL PAGE 2
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
During the special City Council meeting, Dr. Terriquez reviewed key findings including Health and Education Disparities: Young adults in Oxnard report poorer health outcomes and lower levels of educational attainment compared to their peers throughout California. Career Aspirations vs. Reality: While many young people in Oxnard aspire to higher education degrees and better jobs, they often lack the preparation and guidance needed to achieve these goals.
With nearly half of Oxnard’s population under the age of 35, the success of the community’s young people has major implications for the City’s future. The research found that 83% of young adults in Oxnard come from immigrant families, with many serving as translators and caregivers within their households. The time required to care for family responsibilities can limit their educational and professional opportunities.
Public comments were received from Hannah Quiroz, Angeles Agredano, Meaghan Salas, Cynthia Salas, Daniel Chavez, Jr., Roy Prince, Dolores Ortiz, Edua rdo Huerta, Juan Vasquez, Ana DeGenna, Vanessa Valdez, and Genevieve Flores-Haro.
The report and presentation were received and filed; no formal action was required.

AGENDA ITEM NO. I.2
DATE: November 19, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Trade Services Agreement 32500133 with Econolite Systems Inc. for Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project, Specification No. PW 24-105, Caltrans Project No. CRASLNI-5129(108).
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize:
1. The Mayor to execute an Agreement with Econolite Systems Inc. in the amount of $866,000 with a term through June 30, 2025, for the Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project, Specification No. PW 24-105; and
2. The acceptance and appropriation of additional grant funds in the amount of $779,000 in FY 2024-25 from the State Grant Fund (210) and corresponding Capital Outlay Fund (301) to the Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project (C2501).
(This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City’s Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project (Project) consists of an emergency vehicle pre-emption system designed to give emergency response vehicles, such as fire engines, priority at traffic signal-controlled intersections within the City’s jurisdictional boundaries. The City currently has pre-emption systems at 91 intersections Citywide utilizing Emtrac equipment. This Project will replace and expand equipment to additional locations.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:
Project No. C2501 – Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project PW 24-105 - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 –
DISCUSSION
The Project installs equipment that enables traffic signal pre-emption which gives emergency vehicles priority to pass through intersections quicker avoiding stops and saving crucial time. This traffic signal pre-emption system (located in the traffic signal cabinet) will detect an approaching emergency vehicle, utilizing Emtrac computers and Global Positioning System/Ultra High Frequency (GPS/UHF), and allow the emergency vehicle a priority of passage in its direction of travel.
The Project will add new Emtrac units and update existing equipment for a total of 106 intersections. In addition, the Project will equip the Oxnard Fire Department with nine interrogators to be installed at nine fire stations. Interrogators are used at the fire stations to wirelessly communicate directly with the fire apparatus.
In order to install Emtrac equipment that is consistent and compatible with the existing Emtrac equipment, the City issued 19 a Negotiated Contract Sole/Single Source procurement to contract with Econolite Systems, Inc. (Econolite) consistent with City purchasing procedures. Econolite is the exclusive distributor of all Emtrac Signal products sold in California.
Econolite meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that this vendor is capable of satisfactorily meeting the needs of the City. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this Project to Econolite Systems Inc.
Econolite will be responsible for furnishing and installing traffic signal pre-emption units, which includes work within traffic signal cabinets located on sidewalks and installation of interrogators at nine fire stations.
The work is tentatively scheduled to begin in October 2024 and continue into June 2025, absent any delays due to supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions, or weather.
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.
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 this Agreement with Econolite Systems Inc. shall not exceed $866,000 for this Project. The City received an $866,000 State grant from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act. The 2025- 2029 CIP document allocated $87,000 in FY 2025 and $779,000 in FY 2026. Because the project is ahead of the estimated schedule used for the 2025-2029 CIP document, this action will appropriate the $799,000 grant funding to the current Fiscal Year in order to fund the agreement with the Econlite for an amount not to exceed $866,000.
The Traffic Signal Pre-Emption Program Project (C2501) has an available project budget balance of $87,000 in the State Grant Fund (210) in FY 2024/25 and $779,000 in FY 2025/26. A budget appropriation of $779,000 in State Grant Fund (210) is recommended, moving the funding from FY 26 to FY 25, for a total project budget of $866,000.
For Finance Use Only: State Grants Fund (Org. 2101001 / 3102 Obj. 59800 & 48030); Capital Outlay Fund (Org. 3013102 Obj. 49300 & 53270) Project C2501
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.

25.1 As a separate and independent covenant from SERVICE PROVIDER’s obligations under this section, SERVICE PROVIDER shall to the fullest extent permitted by law, immediately defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CITY, its legislative and advisory bodies, and the CITY’s officials, directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities regardless of nature, type, or cause, arising out of or resulting from or in connection with SERVICE PROVIDER’s performance of this Agreement or SERVICE PROVIDER’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. SERVICE PROVIDER’s obligation to indemnify applies unless it is adjudicated that any of the liabilities covered by this Section are the result of the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees.
25.2 The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from SERVICE PROVIDER’s duty to indemnify. SERVICE PROVIDER shall be obligated to defend in 9 29
Agreement No. 32500133
all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the CITY Attorney, immediately upon tender to SERVICE PROVIDER of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established.
An allegation or determination of negligence or willful misconduct by any of the Indemnitees shall not relieve SERVICE PROVIDER from its separate and distinct obligation to defend the Indemnitees. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes the obligation to provide independent defense counsel if SERVICE PROVIDER asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees, SERVICE PROVIDER may submit a claim to CITY for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs.
25.3 The review, acceptance or approval of SERVICE PROVIDER’s work or work product by any of the Indemnitees shall not affect, relieve or reduce SERVICE PROVIDER’s indemnification or defense obligations. SERVICE PROVIDER waives any right of contribution against CITY or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers arising out of such failure to inspect, review, monitor, or supervise the work performed by SERVICE PROVIDER pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall not be restricted by and do not affect the provisions of this Agreement relating to Section 26. The SERVICE PROVIDER’s obligations under this Section of the Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
25.4 SERVICE PROVIDER agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to SERVICE PROVIDER under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold CITY harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against CITY by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. SERVICE PROVIDER shall be solely responsible for, and shall save CITY harmless from, all matters relating to the payment of SERVICE PROVIDER’s subcontractors, material suppliers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, including compliance with social security requirements, federal and State income tax withholding, and all other regulations governing employer-employee relations, as applicable. CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due to SERVICE PROVIDER under this Agreement any amount due to CITY from SERVICE PROVIDER as a result of its failure to promptly pay to CITY any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this Section.
26. INSURANCE.
SERVICE PROVIDER shall obtain and maintain during the performance of any services under this Agreement the insurance coverages listed within “Exhibit C”, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, unless the Risk Manager waives, in writing, the requirement that SERVICE PROVIDER obtain and maintain such insurance coverages. Such insurance must be issued by a company satisfactory to the Risk Manager. SERVICE PROVIDER shall, before performance of any Services 10 30
Agreement No. 32500133
pursuant to this Agreement, file with the Risk Manager evidence of insurance coverage as specified in “Exhibit C”. Maintenance of insurance coverages by SERVICE PROVIDER is a material element of this Agreement. SERVICE PROVIDER’S failure to maintain or renew insurance coverages or to provide renewal evidence shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
27. LIVING WAGE REQUIREMENTS.
During the term of this Agreement, SERVICE PROVIDER understands and agrees that if Living Wages are applicable subject to the 2002 Oxnard City Council Living Wage Policy, attached as “Exhibit D” to this Agreement. SERVICE PROVIDER will pay and/or provide the wages and/or benefits required therein to all of its employees engaged in whole or in part in performing the services provided for by this Agreement.
The duty to pay the correct wage is the responsibility of the SERVICE PROVIDER.
28. PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS.
28.1. Application. The payment of State prevailing wages as designated for Ventura County shall apply to public works projects. However, this section shall not apply to work performed on a public works project of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work; or to work performed on a public works project of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or less when the project is for maintenance work.

28.2. Compliance with California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).
To determine if this Agreement is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement, go to:
https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorksSB854FAQ.html
28.3. Contract Splitting. It is unlawful to split, or separate into small portions, work orders, projects, purchases, or public works projects for the purpose of evading these prevailing wage requirements.
28.4. Use of Prevailing Wages vs. Living Wages. In the event that there is a difference between the amount of wages to be paid under the CITY of Oxnard’s local Living Wage requirements and the requirements of this provision, the wage rate that is the higher of the two shall be applicable to this Agreement. The duty to pay the correct wage is the responsibility of the SERVICE PROVIDER.
29. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
SERVICE PROVIDER covenants that it does not have any interest, nor shall it acquire any interest,
directly
or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the performance of SERVICE PROVIDER’s services
under this Agreement. SERVICE
PROVIDER further covenants that in the performance of services under this Agreement,
11 31
Agreement No. 32500133
no officer, employee or agent of SERVICE PROVIDER having such interest shall be
employed by it. In the event the CITY determines that SERVICE PROVIDER must disclose its financial
interests by completing and filing a Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700, Statement
of Economic Interests, SERVICE PROVIDER shall
file such Form 700 with the CITY Clerk’s Of
fice pursuant to the written instructions
provided by the CITY Clerk. Acquisition or maintenance
of a conflicting interest by
SERVICE PROVIDER may result in termination of this Agreement by the CITY. This
section is in addition to any conflict requirements stated in the Grant documents.

Additionally, if this Agreement is in excess of $10,000, the State Auditor may examine and audit SERVICE PROVIDER for a period of 3 years after final payment under the Agreement. Regardless of whether a State audit is permitted, SERVICE PROVIDER shall maintain and preserve all such records for a period of at least 3 years after final payment under the Agreement or until an audit has been completed and accepted by CITY, whichever occurs later. SERVICE PROVIDER shall maintain all such records in CITY or to promptly reimburse CITY for all reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location other than in CITY, including but not limited to expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditor, travel, lodging, meals and overhead.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
CITY PROJECT MANAGER: Kawkeb Said / 805-342-5581 / [email protected] Scope of Work for Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption in Oxnard California Western Pacific Signal, Econolite field staff, and Priority Systems Specialists will Install, Program, and Test 104 Priority Detector Cards and 15 Field Monitoring Units (FMU).
Installation is defined as all work that will be conducted on the City sidewalk Right of Way, within Traffic Signal Controller Cabinets. No Traffic Control Plans are required as there is no work in the roadway and no lane closures. Installers will possess an electrical license.
The units will be installed inside existing Traffic Signal Controller Cabinets giving Oxnard’s Emergency Vehicles pre-emption at Signalized Intersections.
Nine (9) Interrogators are also to be installed at the Fire Stations. Interrogators are used at the Fire Stations to wirelessly communicate directly with the Fire Apparatus. Priority Detectors and FMUs will all be pre-programmed by Priority Systems Specialists at the Emtrac factory.
Western Pacific and its support staff will perform the following:
1. Install 119 antennas on top of each Traffic Controller Cabinet.
2. Install 15 FMUs.
3. Connect Ethernet cables to the Traffic Controller and Conflict Monitor (if the conflict monitor has an Ethernet Port), the Battery Backup unit (if installed), and connect Traffic Cameras (if they are installed).
4. Wire in the Field Monitoring Harness that is supplied with the Emtrac FMU to enable the monitoring of Vehicle Signal Greens and Pedestrian Walk Signals, Incoming Power, the Fan, and Cabinet Doors.
5. Includes one move-in per location, additional move-ins will require a change order in the amount of $500 per location.
6. Exclusions include the following:
17 37
Agreement No. 32500133
● Construction Permits, Inspection Fees, Encroachment Permits, Site Survey
● Traffic Control Permits or Plans
● Utility Company Fees and Support of Existing Utilities ● A/C or Concrete Patching
● Repair of Landscape or other improvements
● Temporary Stripping and Signing
● SWPP, BMP’s & Dust Control
Emtrac Field Monitoring Units have built-in modems, which will allow the city to have communications to each Intersection even though it is not connected to Fiber.
This will also allow the city to monitor closely the full operation of each of these intersections 24/7.
Western Pacific will install 104 Priority Detectors (PD) by adding the units into the Traffic Control Cabinets. After the installation of Priority Detectors, FMUs, and Interrogators Western Pacific will use the Emtrac Central Monitor already installed in the City of Oxnard’s Traffic Operation Center to reprogram I.D.’s into each of the Emtrac Priority Detectors previously installed in Oxnard.
Western Pacific will then have the Factory Engineers at STC access the Emtrac Central Monitor to test the entire system for functionality and then install the database into each of Oxnard’s Fire Emergency Vehicles.
Training for Oxnard personnel will begin as soon as all equipment has been installed, tested, and accepted by Oxnard Traffic Engineering Division and Oxnard Fire Department. Training will be done by Western Pacific Factory Personnel at the City of Oxnard, and Priority Systems Specialists. Training is unlimited to all city Traffic, Fire, and Maintenance personnel.
Unforeseen incidents on this project will need to be processed through a change order and are subject to the Project Manager's approval prior to any work being undertaken.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance.
Y ou may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number.
Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached.
Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

SERVICE PROVIDER, subrecipient (CITY), or subconsultant shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26). To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR 26.5, The CITY shows a contract goal for DBEs. SERVICE PROVIDER shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.
SERVICE PROVIDER shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal. It is SERVICE PROVIDER’s responsibility to verify that the DBE firm is certified as DBE at date of proposal opening and document the record by printing out the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found here.
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies SERVICE PROVIDER purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
● 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. ● 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer.
● Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49CFR26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer."
This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”.
Consultants who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the CITY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.

If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
47 67
Agreement No. 32500133

An adequate good faith effort means that the SERVICE PROVIDER must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If SERVICE PROVIDER has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

The CITY authorizes a request to use other forces or sources of materials if CONSULTANT shows any of the following justifications:
1. Listed DBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract based on plans and specifications for the project.
2. The CITY stipulated that a bond is a condition of executing the subcontract and the listed DBE fails to meet the CITY’s bond requirements.

48 68
Agreement No. 32500133
4. Listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials (failing or refusing to perform is not an allowable reason to remove a DBE if the failure or refusal is a result of bad faith or discrimination).
5. Listed DBE's work is unsatisfactory and not in compliance with the contract.
6. Listed DBE is ineligible to work on the project because of suspension or debarment.
7. Listed DBE becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

3. Maintain records including:
● Name and business address of each 1st-tier subconsultant ● Name and business address of each DBE subconsultant, DBE vendor, and DBE trucking company, regardless of tier

Agreement No. 32500133

The CITY will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The CITY will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.
In the CITY’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the CITY must display both commitments and attainments.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved.
To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each
50 70
Agreement No. 32500133
DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
DATE: November 19, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Annual Purchase Orders with Rockwell Engineering & Equipment Co. for Wastewater Equipment and Supplies.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute annual Purchase Orders with Rockwell Engineering & Equipment Co. (Rockwell) for a total amount not to exceed $600,000 through June 30, 2026, for the purchase of wastewater pumps and related equipment for the Wastewater Division.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on October 22, 2024.)
BACKGROUND
Bypass Pumping
The Wastewater Division operates and maintains over 400 miles of underground sewer pipes and 15 lift stations. As part of regular operation, the Wastewater Division often requires portable pumps to conduct bypass pumping. Bypass pumping is a temporary process used to divert the flow of wastewater around a specific section of a sewer or treatment system and is typically done when maintenance, repairs, or construction work needs to be carried out. Portable pumps ensure an uninterrupted flow of wastewater in the treatment and collection systems without causing overflows and permit violations. The division currently owns one portable sewage pump.
Fats, Oils, and Grease
The Wastewater Division operates digesters that break down organic matter through a process called anaerobic digestion.
Through this process, biogas is produced, which consists primarily of methane gas. The biogas is a renewable fuel source used to power the cogeneration facility, which produces electricity used within the Oxnard Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF).
In 2024, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of the WRRF’s ability to accept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from restaurants and other commercial establishments. This study determined that the WRRF has sufficient digester capacity to accept up to 50,000 gallons per day of FOG. The benefits of accepting FOG include the production of additional digester gas and to provide a service and location for local FOG haulers to dispose of their waste at a yet-to-be- determined tipping fee. To accomplish this, the WRRF would require the installation of a FOG receiving station, which would accept and convey FOG into the digesters.
DISCUSSION
Portable Pump
A critical function required to operate a reliable and safe wastewater system is to be able to respond to a multitude of 81 potential emergencies. Included in fulfilling the ability to respond to emergencies anywhere in the system is sufficient portable pumping. The Wastewater Division requests the purchase of a trailer-mounted Vaughan chopper pump to add to our emergency response capabilities. The Vaughan chopper pump is reliable and capable of performing well in various situations. The pump is identical to an existing unit already in use by the Wastewater Division, allowing for streamlined maintenance and repair by utilizing shared components across both pumps. Owning a second portable chopper pump will decrease the reliance on rental pumps which ensures quicker response times and minimal operational disruptions. This portable chopper pump costs $128,328.25 with a lead time of 10-12 weeks. Rockwell is the appointed representative and distributor of Vaughan brand products in the Oxnard region.
FOG Station
The WRRF’s digestion capacity was evaluated to determine the amount of FOG the WRRF could receive without expanding its digestion capacity. The study determined that the digesters can accept up to 50,000 gallons per day of FOG.
The WRRF has three anaerobic digesters: Digesters Nos. 1 and 3 are currently operational, and Digester No. 2 is being refurbished and is anticipated to go back online by the end of 2024.
As part of the study, a survey was conducted of local FOG haulers to determine the commercial need to accept FOG. It was clear that the service is needed locally and will benefit our local restaurants, FOG haulers, and the WRRF.
Ultimately, to properly receive FOG at the WRRF a permanent facility may be required and take many years to design, build, and fund. As an interim step, the Wastewater Division is recommending the purchase of a package FOG receiving station that will expedite the ability to receive FOG and allow for testing to determine if a permanent facility is required.
The test phase will determine if adding FOG into the digesters causes any unforeseen operational issues. During this initial testing phase, detailed operational costs will be tracked closely to confirm assumptions made in the FOG study. A tipping fee will be charged to the haulers on a per-gallon basis to offset the capital and operational costs. It is estimated that the tipping fees will cover the capital cost of the equipment within the first year of full operation. If testing is successful it is anticipated that this new public service will become permanent, providing a new, continuous revenue stream. The cost for this FOG receiving station is $108,036.41 with a lead time of 6-8 weeks. Rockwell is the appointed representative and distributor of BOERGER brand products in the Oxnard region. The decision to proceed with a permanent installation will be based on operations, maintenance, and the volume of waste delivered to the recommended package FOG receiving station.
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 cost of this Purchase Order with Rockwell shall not exceed $600,000 through June 30, 2026, for supplies. The estimated spending plan for FY 2024-25 is $250,000, and sufficient appropriations are included in the Fiscal Year 2024- 25 Adopted Budget within the Wastewater operating division (account 6113615-56040) for these supplies. Subsequent year allocations will be requested during the annual budget process.

SUBJECT: Trade Services Agreement 32500200 with Taft Electric Company for On-Call Traffic Signal Repair & Maintenance Services, Specification No. PW 25-26.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize an Agreement with Taft Electric Company for an initial one-year and 10-day term from November 20, 2024, to November 30, 2025, with the option for four consecutive one-year period extensions for a final term ending November 30, 2029, for a total amount not to exceed $500,000 for on-call traffic signal repairs and services.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on October 22, 2024.)
BACKGROUND
The On-Call Traffic Signal Repair & Maintenance Services agreement will offer essential support to the Traffic Engineering staff for routine operations and emergency situations. The contractor will extend the capabilities of City staff by performing repairs that require specialized equipment or expertise beyond what is available in-house. In emergencies, the contractor will respond within one hour to address issues such as traffic signal damage from collisions or equipment failures. The City currently contracts out for these types of services and has done so for the past three years. In addition, prior to the on-call signal repair agreement, the City used individual contracts to perform similar work.
The agreement is for a not to exceed amount of $500,000. Work will be assigned through task orders issued by the Public Works Department. All work performed under this agreement will adhere to prevailing wage rates, and the contractor will supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidentals for traffic signal repairs, maintenance, replacement, construction, and electrical services as directed by City staff.
Projects to be completed by the Contractor are categorized as follows:
Non-Scheduled Urgent Repair Work
Contractor must verbally respond within thirty minutes of telephone notification by the City. The contractor arrives at the site to assess the damage and provide an estimate for equipment repair or replacement, along with personnel costs pursuant to the identified hourly rates in the agreement. Public Works staff then reviews and agrees on the scope of work, followed by an email outlining the assessment and the agreed-upon charges. The contractor must be on the site within one hour of the notification and begin work as soon as an agreement to the charges are made. Urgent repairs are those where public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to avoid harm to or to safeguard life, health, or property.
Scheduled Repair and Maintenance Work
The contractor must verbally respond within four hours of notification by the City. The contractor communicates through 86 telephone and email, providing a detailed proposal that outlines all charges and a schedule pursuant to the identified hourly rates in the agreement. Public Works staff must review and approve the proposed scope of work and schedule before the contractor proceeds with the work. Work under this category shall be planned and scheduled Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise agreed to by the City.
DISCUSSION
On August 23, 2024, the City’s Purchasing Division conducted a formal solicitation for On-Call Traffic Signal Repair & Maintenance Services (PW 25-26), bids were due on September 12, 2024. Bid information was posted on the City’s website and on www.publicpurchase.com.
The City received one responsive bid from Taft Electric Company. Upon review by City staff, it was determined that the bid was reasonable compared to prior contract costs. Taft Electric Company meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that this vendor is capable of satisfactorily meeting the needs of the City. Taft Electric Company is the current service provider for the City and has been providing satisfactory work for the past three years.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample.
Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
