That the City Council approve and authorize:

(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 existing playground equipment at Ololkoy Beach Park has reached the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement. The new playground equipment and resilient rubber surface will improve the park's amenities and enhance children's enjoyment of using the playground.
The specific work for this Project includes furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidental and appurtenant Work to remove and dispose of existing playground equipment and replace it with a new playground system and resilient rubber safety surfacing. Additionally, the new playground specifications include an ADA-compliant design with ten dedicated inclusive features such as swings, spinners, and activity panels.
The work is tentatively scheduled to begin in the early calendar year 2025 and be completed within 90 working days absent any delays due to supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions, or inclement weather.
Staff will work closely with the Oxnard Shores Neighborhood Council to keep them informed of the schedule and will also work closely with the businesses and residents directly impacted by the work to keep them informed of the project schedule. General project information will be disseminated to help keep the public informed as well.

Project No. C2239 – Playground Replacement - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 – Page 81.
DISCUSSION
21 The Notice Inviting Formal Bids (NIFB) on the Project was originally published on November 7, 2024, with all bids due on November 21, 2024. The NFIB was posted on multiple platforms, including the City’s website, and distributed directly to 26 potential bidders. However, all bids were rejected due to a technical error in the project specifications. The project was rebid on December 12, 2024, with all new bids due on January 16, 2025. The NFIB was again posted on multiple platforms including the City’s website, and distributed directly to 33 potential bidders. The City received the following bids:
Jaynes Brothers Construction, Inc.: $408,133.00
R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc.: $408,660.00
Pacific Tide Construction: $444,391.02
The lowest bidder is Jaynes Brothers Construction, Inc. and its bid is responsive to the City’s NIFB. Following this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation received from Jaynes Brothers Construction, Inc. and its subcontractor. Procurement staff verified possession of required currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily completing the project. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this Project to Jaynes Brothers Construction, Inc.
In addition to the project award amount of $408,133, Staff recommends authorizing $81,626 for the project, which includes $40,813 for project contingency (~10% of the contract costs) and $40,813 for the cost for engineering services and City staff (~10% of the contract cost). Engineering services include the following activities during construction:
engineering, inspection, survey and project management. These recommendations bring the total estimated cost of the project to $489,759.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this Project is $489,759.00 which includes the construction agreement, contingency and project allocation. The Citywide Playground Replacements Project (C2239), which includes Ololkoy Beach Park, is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund (204) / Lost Public Sector Revenue Fund (320) and the General Fund (101) and with a project budget allocation of approximately $3.99M in FY 2024-25 of which $400,000 was estimated for this project utilizing ARPA funds.
Citywide Playground Replacements Project (C2239 ) FY 2024-25 Project Budget ARPA Fund (204) / Lost Public Sector Revenue Fund (320) $2.85M General Fund (101) $1.14M
TOTAL $3.99M
The ongoing maintenance cost for the Ololkoy Park playground will have no new impact on the Parks Division’s Operating budget compared to the annual operating cost for the existing park playground.

2.

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.

Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached. 45 Agreement No. 32500403

77 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.3
DATE: February 18, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Additional Project Contingency Authority to Agreement 32500074 with LDP Associates, Inc. for the Replacement of the City’s Data Center Cooling System.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize an increase of $50,000 in project contingency authority to an agreement with LDP Associates, Inc. for a new not-to-exceed value of $351,663, for use with the Data Center Cooling System Replacement Project IT 24-134.
(This item did not originate in Committee as it is a continuation of an item previously approved by the City Council.)
BACKGROUND
In the spring of 2024, it became apparent that the City’s Data Center equipment was at high risk of shutting down due to the progressive failure of its specialized cooling system. On May 23rd, 2024, after considering information provided by the City’s Chief Information Officer together with a recommendation from the Public Works Director, the City Manager found there was substantial evidence that the failure of the cooling system created an emergency that posed a significant risk to City property and essential services.
Oxnard City Code Section 4-20(B), authorizes the City Manager to implement emergency procurement procedures pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050 when immediate action is required due to an emergency to preserve public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies without utilizing the City’s formal procurement and bidding procedures.
In consideration of this, the City Council ratified an emergency order on June 4, 2024. This order allowed IT and Public Works staff to identify and directly negotiate an agreement with a contractor for the replacement of the failed server room cooling system. As part of the emergency order, staff returned to the Council with regular status updates, and to report on progress in identifying a suitable, qualified contractor to perform design and construction services within budget and under an expedited timeframe. On July 30, 2024, the City Council ratified the City Manager’s award of contract to LDP Associates under agreement 32500074 to perform the replacement of the cooling system. Also at this time, the City Council terminated the emergency order.
DISCUSSION
As noted in the July 30, 2024 City Council staff report, the nature of the emergency work did not allow for sufficient evaluation of the preexisting conditions of the building envelope (e.g., roofing material condition), and the surrounding mechanical systems associated with the cooling system. Typically, for non-emergent projects, months of field inspection, non-destructive testing, and evaluations are conducted to ensure as much of the required work is identified and included in a contract before it is bid and awarded. This was not an option given the emergent nature of this work; this was anticipated by staff, as outlined in prior City Council staff reports. 78 Since the time of the award of contract, the project has made significant headway and is nearing completion. During the portion of the work that occurred on the roof, dry rot was discovered at the wood condenser pad and it was determined that all of this structure needed full replacement, adding cost to the project. To date, $26,655 (97%) of the original estimated contingency amount of $27,424 has been utilized to address this unforeseen work. The remaining amount of contingency authority ($768.87) is not sufficient for any further change orders if any more unforeseen items were to be discovered in the final stages of construction. At this time, staff is requesting an additional contingency authority in the amount of $50,000 to cover further unexpected conditions, if any should arise. Since the project is almost complete, this amount should cover any additional work. Staff is requesting this authorization now so that any unforeseen issues may be addressed quickly to avoid any financial liability to the City associated with delaying the contractor (e.g., overhead costs).
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the additional contingency authority being requested for this project is $50,000, which brings the total not-to-exceed value from $301,663 to $351,663. Funding to support this increase is currently available in the IT Internal Service Fund (731) account 7311804-56040.

(10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

2. Ratify an Agreement with LDP Associates, Inc. in the amount of $274,239 with a Project contingency amount of $27,424 (10%) with LDP Associates, Inc. for a total not to exceed value of $301,663; and
3. Approve a Project allocation amount of $13,712 (5%) for engineering and project management for the Project. (This item did not originate in Committee because it is a continuation of an item previously approved by the City Council on June 4, 2024.)

BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2024, the City Council ratified the City Manager’s emergency order, per Oxnard City Code Section 4-20(B), to implement emergency procurement procedures pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050 for the replacement of the City’s Data Center Cooling System, which experienced a catastrophic failure.
The emergency at issue was declared on May 23, 2024, by the City Manager, after reviewing information provided by the City’s Chief Information Officer and a recommendation from the Public Works Director. The City Manager found there was substantial evidence that the failure of the cooling system in the City’s Data Center created an emergency posing a significant risk to city property and essential city services. The City Manager took immediate action and ordered the implementation of emergency procurement procedures to purchase and install a new cooling system without utilizing the City’s formal procurement and bidding procedures.
DISCUSSION
On July 23, 2024, after reviewing information provided by the Public Works Director, the City Manager declared the emergency order to be terminated. This was based upon the facts that LDP Associates, Inc. (LDP) had been selected to conduct the work necessary to repair/replace the City’s Data Center cooling system and an agreement has been finalized and signed by LDP. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council ratify the City Manager’s declaration that the emergency order be terminated and ratify the agreement with LDP along with project allocation costs. 80 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost for this project shall not exceed $315,375, including the install agreement for $274,239, a 10% contingency for $27,424, and a 5% project allocation for any labor and other costs for $13,712. This will be funded from the operating budget from available appropriations in the Information Technology Fund (7311801-53200 and 7311804-56040).
It should be noted that because of the emergency nature of this process, a full engineering design and field survey was not completed. This may result in unforeseen or unknown site conditions requiring additional funds to address. Should this occur, staff will return to the City Council with updates.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32500393 with CSI Services for Central Park Fountain Renovation Project, Specification No. SD 25-23.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize:
1. A total of $723,511.00 in Project funds for the Central Park Fountain Renovation Project, Specification No. SD 25-23;
2. The Mayor to Execute an Agreement with CSI Services in the amount of $602,925.00 for the Project and approve a Project contingency amount of $60,293.00 (~10%) with CSI Services for a total not to exceed value of $663,218.00 for the Project;
3. A Project allocation amount of $60,293.00 (~10%) for engineering, inspection, survey and project management for the Project; and
4. A budget appropriation in the amount of $268,511 from the available fund balance in the Community Facilities District (CFD) 5 Fund (120, sub-fund 6050) to the Central Park Fountain Control Room Renovation Project (C2012) and corresponding Capital Outlay Fund (301) transfer in/appropriation in the same amount. (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 Central Park Fountain Renovation Project, Specification SD 25-23 is located at 3200 North Oxnard Blvd. in the Riverpark Community Facilities District. The project includes furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidental and appurtenant work to renovate the Central Park fountain control system, structure, and equipment vault. The scope of work includes the relocation of electrical controls and filtration equipment for easier routine access and inspection, new waterproofing measures for the structure, and a new access hatch, ladder, and mechanical ventilation fans for the vault.
Staff communicated with the Riverpark Neighborhood Council through multiple meetings about the project scope of work. Through those meetings, three “additive items” (see table) were included to the Fountain Renovation Project in response to their requests to improve the fountain functionality, durability, and lighting. The work is tentatively scheduled to begin in the Spring 2025 and continue into the Summer (150 working days) absent any delays due to supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions, or weather. Staff will work closely with the Riverpark Neighborhood Council, as well as the residents who may be directly impacted by the work, to keep them informed of the project schedule.

Project No. C2012 – Central Park Fountain Control Room Renovation - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 – Page
70. 82
DISCUSSION
The Notice Inviting Formal Bids (NIFB) for this project was published on December 5, 2024, in the local newspaper.
Additionally, the NIFB was posted on multiple online platforms, including the City’s website, and distributed to 28 contractors who have registered with the City. There were six companies that registered as plan holders prior to the opening of the bids. An on-site pre-bid meeting was held on December 17, 2024, and was attended by 3 contractors. The bids were opened on January 9, 2025, and the City received one bid from CSI Services in the amount of $534,425.00.
Therefore, the lowest bidder is CSI Services (CSI) and its bid is responsive to the City’s NIFB. Following this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation received from CSI and its subcontractors. Procurement staff verified possession of required currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily completing the project. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this Project to CSI Services.
The base bid of this project included all work items to update the fountain and vault. Additionally, the bid packet requested pricing from bidders for three additive bid items to upgrade the lighting system to LED, vault lighting fixtures, and replacement of the filter system and control piping within the vault. These are items that, at the time of putting out the bid packet, staff was not certain would be feasible due to the estimated cost of the project. After the bid was confirmed, the additive items can be included in the project scope with an appropriation of funds from the Riverpark CFD fund balance. Based on the availability of funds within the district’s fund balance and the additional cost of these upgrades, the Project Manager requests the City Council approval of the project including the base bid and three additive items.
Bid Item Description Amount
Base Bid Base Bid $534,425
Additive 1 Underwater LED Lighting Fixtures $44,500
Additive 2 Vault Fluorescent Light Fixture $4,000
Additive 3 Chemical Filter and Chemical Piping Equipment $20,000 Total $602,925
In addition to the project award amount of $602,925.00 to CSI (contract cost), Staff also recommends authorizing $120,586.00 for the project, which includes ~10% of the contract costs for project contingency) and ~10% of the contract cost for Staff and engineering services. These services include the following construction activities: engineering, inspection, survey, and project management. These expenses will only be billed as they are incurred and are not guaranteed costs against the project. The total estimated cost of this project, including contract cost, project contingency, and Staff and engineering services is $723,511.00.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this Project is $723,511.00 which includes the construction agreement, contingency and project allocation. The Central Park Fountain Renovation Project, Specification Number SD 25-23 has an available project budget balance of approximately $455,000 from the CFD 5 Fund (120, sub-fund 6050). Therefore, a budget appropriation in the amount of $268,511 is necessary from the available fund balance in the CFD 5 Fund (120, sub-fund 6050).
The original project budget was $600k and approximately $145k has been spent on contracted design and specifications with M6 Consulting.
83 The ongoing maintenance cost for this fountain is contained within the annual CFD 5 operations and will have no new impacts in comparison to the annual operating cost from the previous operating years.
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.

Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City.
2. Contractor shall, prior to performance of any services, file with the Risk Manager certificates of insurance with original endorsements effecting coverage required by this Exhibit INS-E. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates and endorsements are to be on the attached forms or on other forms approved by the Risk Manager. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the Risk Manager before work commences. City reserves the right to require complete certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. The certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be sent via email. If you have not received your request or are having difficulty with electronic upload, contact [email protected]
3. Contractor agrees that all insurance coverages shall be provided by a California admitted insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of A:VII or better and shall be endorsed to state that coverage may not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in coverage or limits without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Risk Manager. The Risk Manager shall not approve or accept any endorsement if the endorsement contains “best effort” modifiers or if the insurer is relieved from the responsibility to give such notice.
4. Contractor agrees that the Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability Insurance policies shall be endorsed to name City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The General Liability Special Endorsement Form and Automobile Liability Special Endorsement Form attached to this Exhibit INS-E or substitute forms containing the same information and acceptable to the Risk Manager shall be used to provide the endorsements (ISO form CG 2010 11/85 or if not available, CG 2010 with an edition date prior to 01/04 and CG 2037).
5. The coverages provided to City shall be primary and not contributing to or in excess of any existing City insurance or self-insurance coverages (this must be endorsed). Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.
6. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the Risk Manager. At the option of the Risk Manager, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers, or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.
7. All insurance standards applicable to Contractor shall also be applicable to Contractor’s subcontractors. Contractor agrees to maintain appropriate agreements with subcontractors and to provide proper evidence of coverage upon receipt of a written request from the Risk Manager.

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 sample accord form.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.5
DATE: February 18, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Multiple Agreements for On-Call Geotechnical Engineering/Environmental Material Testing and Inspection Services Professional Engineering Services.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the following four Agreements, each with an initial term of one year, from February 19, 2025, to February 18, 2026, with options for exercising four consecutive one-year period extensions ending February 18, 2030, for on-call professional engineering geotechnical services:
1. Agreement 32500365 with Earth Systems Pacific for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000;
2. Agreement 32500368 with Twining, Inc. for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000;
3. Agreement 32500375 with Geocon West, Inc. for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000; and
4. Agreement 32500379 with Shannon & Wilson, Inc. for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000. (Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on January 28, 2025)
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department (PW) utilizes professional consulting firms to provide licensed, technical expertise in various disciplines that support the development and implementation of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as well as other non-CIP projects. Utilization of these specialized contractors is necessary to provide services that supplement the skills and experience of City staff. It is in the City’s interest to have a pool of these professional service contractors available on-call for a range of technical disciplines so that services can be procured, and needed work can proceed, in fairly short order.
Pre-approved on-call professional service agreements reduce the amount of time necessary to procure service contractors and thus facilitate the timely completion of certain categories of CIP and other projects. The specific services covered under this request include but are not limited to, geotechnical/environmental project management, geotechnical feasibility studies and assessments, foundation design and engineering services, regulatory compliance and permitting that includes mandated reporting and documentation, construction materials testing, construction support, hydraulic and groundwater modeling and analysis, sustainability and resource management, and community and stakeholder engagement.
There were four previous geotechnical on-call professional service agreements, and these expired on December 21, 2024, after their three-year contractual term ended. The total value of these agreements was $2,500,000; of this amount, approximately $1,400,000 of work was ordered as tasks.
DISCUSSION
On October 7, 2024, the Purchasing Division issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 25-33 for On-Call Geotechnical Engineering/Environmental Material Testing and Inspection Services. Outreach efforts included direct notifications to three potential vendors, publication on www.PublicPurchase.com, and posting on the City’s Purchasing website. The 127
deadline for proposal submissions was October 31, 2024, and the City received a total of seven proposals from the following vendors:
Converse Consulting Earth Systems Pacific ENGEO Inc
Geocon West, Inc NV5 Shannon & Wilson
Twining
A rating and selection process of the proposals was then performed by a panel that consisted of the Engineering Division Manager, two Senior Construction Project Managers, and a Construction Project Manager. Scoring criteria consisted of company profile, qualifications of proposed staff, relevant professional experience and performance, and overall responsiveness that best met the RFP criteria while being consistent with the City’s municipal code. After a thorough review, the panel selected four firms (Earth Systems Pacific, Twining, Geocon, and Shannon & Wilson) to recommend for Agreement awards, with a determination that these vendors are the highest-ranked proposers based on the scoring criteria listed in the RFP and is consistent with the City’s Purchasing Policy.
Following further review by the Purchasing Division, it was determined that these vendors meet all required City contractual requirements, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Therefore, based upon the analysis and research performed to date, staff believes that the four recommended vendors are capable of successfully performing On-Call Professional Services to the City of Oxnard.
Services under these agreements will be acquired on an as-needed basis with individual task orders issued for each identified work requirement (task). These will be issued and managed by the Project Manager (PM) assigned to the project. Once a new requirement is identified, all contractors will be provided the Task Order requirement on which to provide a proposal, if they so choose. The contractors will then submit their respective proposals, which will include a description of the scope of work to be performed, the method by which the consultant plans on completing the work, and a cost and schedule for completion. It is the consultant's responsibility to determine the best and most cost-effective method to complete the work. Once the City has received all proposals, it will review each and make a selection of the contractor based on factors that include price, experience, methods, and schedule.
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 for each agreement shall not exceed $1,000,000 per year for up to five years if all extension options are exercised. Funding for individual tasks will be sourced from projects identified in the City Council-approved CIP or on rare occasions for City Divisions with non-CIP project requirements (e.g., Stormwater division or Facilities division maintenance projects). The respective Project Manager will ensure sufficient funding is available in the approved budget for related tasks prior to initiating work orders or services performed. Subsequent fiscal year allocations will be requested during the annual budget process.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on January 28, 2025 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.
