News Release Costs
Costs of communicating with the public and press to announce the results and accomplishments of an FS - supported project are allowable. Grantees should be aware of the restrictions on advertising, organizational promotion, and lobbying costs as outlined in the applicable cost principles. See 2 CFR § 200.421 for additional information on advertising and public relations.

Rental or Lease of Facilitie s or Special Purpose Equipment On occasion, it may be necessary to use facilities or equipment not under the control of the grantee. See 2 CFR § 200.465 for additional information on r ental costs of real property and equipment.

Relocation Costs
Relocation costs may be charged to an FS grant as other direct costs in accordance with the cost principles contained in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart E. See 2 CFR § 200.464 for additional information on relocation costs.

Temporary Dependent Care Trav el Costs
Temporary dependent care costs (a dependent is defined in 26 U.S.C. 152) above and beyond regular dependent care that directly results from travel to conferences are allowable costs provided that the costs are:

• a direct result of the individual’s travel for the FS conference award; • consistent with the awardee’s documented travel policy for all employee travel; and • only temporary during the travel period.

See 2 CFR § 200.474 for additional informati on on travel costs.

Q. Indirect Costs

It is FS’s policy that grantees are entitled to reimbursement from grant funds for indirect costs (F&A) allocable to the FS share of allowable direct costs of a project. FS program staff are not authorized to negotiate indirect costs as a discrete item of a proposal budget. FS program staff also are not authorized to suggest or request that grantee seek reductions or waivers of indirect costs.

The awarded indirect cost rate is generally based upon a grantee’s current federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement. When establishing an indirect rate for an award where the domestic grantee does not have a current negotiated rate agreement, FS will consider the rate proposed in the budget, the grantee’s indirect cost proposal submission, the amount of total funding requested and other pertinent financial factors. Supporting documentation is not required for organizations that request a de minimis rate of 10% (or less) of modified total direct costs.

Since some types of rates limit indirect cost recoveries and require adjustments, grantees receiving awards should ensure that they understand the type of indirect cost rate, the applicable base and the type of rate used in the grant.

Part VI: Other Post Award Requirements and Considerations R. Common Federal Statutes

Non-Discrimination Statutes
A number of statutes bar recipients of Federal financial assistance from excluding persons, because of their race, color, national origin, disability, sex, or age, from participation in Federally supported activities. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (barring discrimination on grounds of race, color, or national origin); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (barring discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities); Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (barring sex discrimination in Federally assisted education programs or activities); and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (barring discrimination on the grounds of age). In addition to statutory prohibitions, Executive Order (E.O.) 11246 bars various types of discriminatory employment practices under grants for construction, and E.O. 13166 “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency” requires government agencies to take steps to provide meaningful access to its programs and activities to members of the public who are limited in their English proficiency (LEP).

Title VI of the Civil Right
s Act of 1964
Section 602 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC § 2000d, et seq.) provides that no person in the US shall, on the grounds of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Section 602 requires that each Government agency which is empowered to extend such financial assistance issue rules or regulations implementing Title VI with respect to such programs or activities administered by the agency.

Section 504 of the Rehabilit
ation Act of 1973
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 USC § 794) provides that “no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States...shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Before any organization serves as a subrecipient on an FS grant (for other than the purchase of commercially available materials and supplies, equipment or general support services), it must first file an Assurance of Compliance with the grantee.

Section 504 Certification - Subrecipients
In lieu of requiring grantees to obtain separate certifications from subrecipients receiving financial assistance under an FS grant, grantees will include in all subawards (for other than the purchase of commercially available materials and supplies, equipment or general support services), a certification of compliance comparable to that included in FS grants.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Sex Discrimination) Subject to certain exceptions regarding admission policies at certain religious and military organizations, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 USC §§ 1681-1686) prohibits the exclusion of persons on the basis of sex from any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. All FS grantees must comply with Title IX.

Age Discrimination Act of 1975
The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended (42 USC § 6101 et seq.), provides that pursuant to regulations issued by DHHS “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under, any program or activity receiving Federal financial Agreement No. 32600043

355
assistance.”

Equal Employment Opportunity under E.O. 11246
E.O. 11246, as amended, requires contractors and subcontractors performing Federally assisted construction projects to provide equal opportunity, without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin, to persons employed or seeking employment with them. This E.O. may apply to some FS grants for construction.

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) under E.O. 13166
E.O. 13166 requires government agencies to take steps to provide meaningful access to its programs and activities to members of the public who are limited in their English proficiency (LEP). The primary purpose of the E.O., in regard to Federally assisted and conducted programs, is to ensure that people for whom English is not a first language, people who may be said to be “limited” in their English proficiency, may still enjoy meaningful access to the programs and services offered by Federal agencies.

S. Suspension and Termination Procedures

A grant may be suspended or terminated in whole or in part in pursuant to 2 CFR 200.340 this includes:

• If the grantee fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant;

• to the greatest extent authorized by law, if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities;

• mutual agreement of FS and the grantee; or

• the grantee on written notice to FS setting forth the reasons for such action, the effective date, and, in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated or suspended (with the understanding that if FS determines that the unterminated portion will not accomplish the purposes of the grant it may suspend or terminate the entire grant).

Normally, action by FS to suspend or terminate a grant will be taken only after the grantee has been informed by FS of the proposed action or informed of any deficiency on its part and given an opportunity to correct it. FS, however, may immediately suspend or terminate a grant without notice when it believes such action is reasonable to protect the interests of the government.

No costs incurred during a suspension period or after the effective date of a termination will be allowable, except those costs which, in the opinion of FS, the grantee could not reasonably avoid or eliminate, or which were otherwise authorized by the suspension or termination notice, provided such costs would otherwise be allowable under the terms of the grant and the governing cost principles.

Within 30 days of the termination date the grantee will furnish a summary of progress under the grant and an itemized accounting of costs incurred prior to the termination date or pursuant to (iii) above. Final allowable costs under a termination settlement shall be in accordance with the terms of the grant, including this section, and the governing cost principles, giving due consideration to the progress under the grant. In no event will the total of FS payments under a terminated grant exceed the grant amount or the FS pro rata share when cost sharing was anticipated, whichever is less. A notice of termination other than by mutual agreement and/or the final settlement amount may be subject to review FS will report award terminations to the OMB-designated integrity and performance system in accordance with Federal regulation, but only after the grantee has had an opportunity to exhaust the review procedures. Procedures for Suspension or Termination by FS

When it is believed that a grantee has failed to comply with one or more of the terms and conditions of a grant, the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist will normally advise the grantee in writing of the nature of the problem and that failure to correct the deficiency may result in suspension or termination of the grant. The grantee will be Agreement No. 32600043

356
requested to respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of such letter, describing the action taken or the plan designed to correct the deficiency. Copies of such correspondence will be furnished to the grantee and to the cognizant FS Program Officer. FS, however, may immediately suspend or terminate a grant without notice when it believes such action is reasonable to protect the interests of the government.

If a satisfactory response is not received within the above period, the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist may issue a notice immediately suspending authority to further obligate grant funds, in whole or in part. Notice of suspension is sent to the Authorized Organizational Representative, with a copy to the PI/PD. Within FS, copies are furnished to the FS Division of Financial Management and to the cognizant FS Program Officer. The notice will set forth the terms of the suspension and its effective date.

Normally, the suspension will remain in effect for a maximum of 60 days to allow the grantee to take corrective action. In the event that the deficiency is not corrected to the satisfaction of FS, the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist may issue a notice of termination, addressed as in b., above. The notice will set forth the reasons for the action and its effective date.

• The Forest Service reserves the right to terminate the award and de-obligate award funds when the grantee fails to demonstrate satisfactory performance and timely completion of project activities, or when financial and performance standards are non-compliant with the grant agreement.

T. Termination by Mutual Agreement

Circumstances may arise in which either FS or the grantee wishes to terminate a project. If both parties agree that continuation of the project would not produce results commensurate with the further expenditure of funds, or if there arises any other reason, the grant may be terminated by mutual agreement.

Procedures
If the grantee wishes to terminate the project, the grantee should advise the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist in writing and send a copy to the cognizant FS Program Officer.

If FS wishes to terminate the project, the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist will advise the in writing and send copies the cognizant FS Program Officer.

Within 30 days after receipt of request from either party for termination by mutual agreement, the other party will provide an appropriate written response. In the event of disagreement between the parties, the FS Grants & Agreements Specialist will make a final decision, subject to the review procedures and FS policies.

Following termination, grant closeout procedures will be initiated.

1 ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS REQUIREMENTS

ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE VI OF THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964
As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, the recipient named below (hereinafter referred to as the “Recipient”) provides the assurances stated herein. The federal financial assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to the Recipient’s beneficiaries, the use or rent of Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies, and other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement contracts by the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct benefits.

The assurances apply to all federal financial assistance from or funds made available through the Department of the Treasury, including any assistance that the Recipient may request in the future.

The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of the operations of the Recipient’s program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of the Recipient’s program(s) or activity(ies) is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above.

1. Recipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.

2. Recipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency,” seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). Recipient understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Department of the Treasury’s implementing regulations. Accordingly, Recipient shall initiate reasonable steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury’s directives, to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities. Recipient understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation where necessary, to ensure effective communication in the Recipient’s programs, services, and activities.

3. Recipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Recipient develops applicable budgets and conducts programs, services, and activities. As a resource, the Department of the Treasury has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable steps to provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.

The sub-grantee, contractor, subcontractor, successor, transferee, and assignee shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise discriminating against a person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract (or agreement). Title VI also includes protection to persons with “Limited English Proficiency” in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract or agreement.

6. Recipient understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the aid of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates the Recipient, or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. If any personal property is provided, this assurance obligates the Recipient for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.

7. Recipient shall cooperate in any enforcement or compliance review activities by the Department of the Treasury of the aforementioned obligations. Enforcement may include investigation, arbitration, mediation, litigation, and monitoring of any settlement agreements that may result from these actions. The Recipient shall comply with information requests, on-site compliance reviews and reporting requirements.

8. Recipient shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any complaints of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, and limited English proficiency covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations and provide, upon request, a list of all such reviews or proceedings based on the complaint, pending or completed, including outcome. Recipient also must inform the Department of the Treasury if Recipient has received no complaints under Title VI.

9. Recipient must provide documentation of an administrative agency’s or court’s findings of non-compliance of Title VI and efforts to address the non-compliance, including any voluntary compliance or other Agreement No. 32600043

OMB Approved No. 1505-0271
Expiration Date: November 30, 2021
3 agreements between the Recipient and the administrative agency that made the finding. If the Recipient settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, the Recipient must provide documentation of the settlement. If Recipient has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so state.

10. If the Recipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities, the Recipient is responsible for ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other applicable authorities covered in this document State agencies that make sub-awards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of sub- recipients.

The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of this assurances document and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement measures that the United States may take in order to address violations of this document or applicable federal law.

Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned official(s) certifies that official(s) has read and understood the Recipient’s obligations as herein described, that any information submitted in conjunction with this assurances document is accurate and complete, and that the Recipient is in compliance with the aforementioned nondiscrimination requirements.

PROJECT NARRATIVE

1. Project Scope Alignment:

The City of Oxnard manages approximately 48,806 trees within its urban forest. The City does not have a current inventory of all of these trees. The City is comprised of multiple areas that are designated as disadvantaged (about half of the City by area). In order to maximize the positive impact of urban forestry on disadvantaged communities, specifically access to the health, social, ecological, and economic benefits of urban forests, an accurate inventory and assessment is necessary to determine the City’s urban forest needs. There are many areas with low tree canopy cover, especially within the disadvantaged census tracts of the City. These census tracts are also those most impacted by dense populations, with more need for no-cost recreation within walking distance, and with the most vulnerability to extreme heat impacts.

The Public Health Institute conducted an urban heat monitoring project in 2021, focusing on 20 Oxnard parks. The study focused on parks in census tracts with high heat impact and low tree canopy. The study’s results indicated that low tree canopy impacted temperature extremes in the parks. However, more information is required in order to extend the study to all City parks, and to recommend tree canopy increase amounts across the City in order to reduce urban heat impacts, especially in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods.

The project will encourage proactive and systematic maintenance and monitoring of urban trees in order to improve urban forest health. The project will assess risk to Oxnard’s urban forest from pests, disease, and adverse climate impacts. For example, Oxnard has had to reduce irrigation to its parks due to long-term drought. At the same time, Oxnard’s urban forest has been negatively impacted by the effects of the drought as well as adverse climate impacts such as an increased amount of hot and dry wind events, and increased high temperatures. In order to address the urban forest’s health, especially impacts from pests and disease that have been exacerbated by these climate impacts, a Level 2 Tree Inventory Assessment is critical in effectively maintaining and monitoring the forest’s health into the future. The inventory and assessment is especially critical as a more resilient urban forest is to be put in place through the findings of the proposed Level 2 Tree Inventory Assessment.

The project thus advances the health and wellness of forests and people, in line with the objectives of the Ten-Year Urban and Community Forestry Action Plan.

The project will contribute to the goals of Justice40, State Forest Action Plan, and Ten-Year Urban and Community Forestry Action Plan priorities, as described below.

Paid Training in Urban Forestry: The project will include paid training experiences for the City’s urban forestry staff, so that they can continue to establish and maintain the urban forest in the future using the most advanced skills and perspective on project management, and understand urban forest management with the most current holistic methodology. The project contributes in this way to increasing workforce development of the City’s urban forest management team. The project will thus improve urban forest management, maintenance, and arboricultural practices in the City.

Mitigation and Adaptation: The project works to address State Forest Action Plan objectives, including mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change on the City’s urban forest. The proposed project is a critical step in terms of addressing the anticipated rise in temperatures, and the fluctuations and uncertainty in precipitation that Oxnard and the west coast is forecast to experience in the future.

The project thus is a critical foundation to address the building of the long-term resilience of the City’s urban forest, and in increasing the health and resilience of the trees. The project is a critical step in restoring a resilient and sustainable urban forest as it assesses tree health, analyzes canopy cover, in the urban forest that has been impacted by climate change challenges. The project will determine areas at greatest risk from the threats of climate change, and initiates proactive measures to reduce and mitigate risks.

Resource Conservation and Protection: The project works to conserve existing tree resources, and provides plans for adapting them to climate impacts and subsequent pest and disease stressors. The project protects existing tree resources by addressing immediate pest and disease issues that threaten the trees. The project thus serves as a comprehensive resource for enhancing the City’s urban forestry stewardship of the 48,806 trees managed by the City. The inventory/assessment and educational components of the project promote better use of technology and tools in urban forestry.

Urban Forest Enhancement: The project enhances the existing urban forest by mapping gaps in canopy cover that can be addressed with increased trees, areas with increased heat impacts that can be addressed by increased canopy, and helping to mitigate climate change. According to data from NOAA, Ventura County is warming faster than any other county in the continental U.S. Thus residents of the City of Oxnard, especially its residents in disadvantaged communities, would strongly benefit from the increased canopy cover, cooling effects and air quality improvements that trees offer and that will be improved as a result of this comprehensive assessment, which will inform future tree plantings.

Advancing environmental justice: The project addresses components of the Climate Change category of benefits of the White House Environmental Justice40 Initiative by initiating the building of resilience in Oxnard’s urban forest, and by addressing Docusign Envelope ID: A10727FC-7C0E-4B2E-9A78-2C31844F47DB 407

the needs of the disadvantaged communities of Oxnard, through laying the foundation for the future management of the City’s urban forests, including mitigating heat islands with increased tree cover and sustainable shade in these communities.

2. Implementation Strategy/Methodology/Timeline:

Proposed approach: The project includes the following elements:

1. Tree Inventory and Level 2 Risk Assessment for the City’s approximately 48,806 trees

2. LiDAR aerial imagery, image processing, land use classification, analysis and report to assess canopy cover throughout the disadvantaged census tracts of the project.

3. Tree removals of those trees recommended to be removed as part of the Tree Inventory and Level 2 Risk Assessment, as a first step in restoring the urban forest using a methodology rooted in increased resilience. An estimated 325 trees will be removed.

4. Training: The project includes an urban forestry management training class for Oxnard’s permanent urban forestry staff. The training will involve topics such as tree data analysis, understanding basic practices related to long-term management of the trees, ways to improve existing tree management practices, and strategies for maintaining the tree management software.

5. Community engagement to involve the community in the urban forestry project, including presentations/workshops, a webpage, and outreach and education for youth.

The proposed approach involves the completion of a citywide tree inventory and Level 2 Risk Assessment. The City will contract with a consultant to complete the inventory and risk assessment, with the support of City of Oxnard Parks Division staff and the City’s certified arborist staff. The report will be conducted in tandem with training for existing City staff.

Proposed methodology: The City will contract with a consultant to create an inventory and map of the estimated 48,806 trees managed by the Public Works Department. The inventory will also include the basic (Level 2) risk assessment of each tree.

The inventory and risk assessment will serve as the foundation for all future City of Oxnard urban forest planning and management, including for building long- term resilience to climate impacts and forest and people wellness. The project will result in the removal of problem trees that pose risks, and have been impacted by climate impacts and subsequent stressors such as pests and disease that have impacted the trees. Risk assessment will include both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to determine hazard, clarify preventative maintenance and other tree risk abatement necessary per tree, assess pest and disease factors, and assess decay. Tree inventory will include assessing of each tree, stump, and vacant planting location. The inventory is a critical step in strategically managing the City’s urban forest, and identifying planting opportunities. A tree inventory report will be created.Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR): LiDAR aerial imagery, image processing, land use classification, analysis and a report to assess canopy cover throughout the disadvantaged census tracts that compose the project. The project will utilize thespectral, height, and spatial information contained in the obtained datasets in order to estimate tree canopy cover. The outcomes will be spatially explicit and will provide highly accurate estimates of vegetation height, cover and canopy structure. The LiDAR data will allow the City to utilize citywide planning and analysis leading to more informed urban forest management.

An estimated 325 dead, dying, or treesthat pose a risk will be removed. Drought conditions, followed by the secondary effect of the insects attacking the trees (aphids, thrips, scale, and shothole borer), are responsible for the tree mortality as assessed by the City's ISA certified arborist on staff.Training: The project includes urban forestry management training classes for Oxnard’s permanent urban forestry staff. The training will involve topics such as tree data analysis, understanding basic practices related to long-termmanagement of the trees, ways to improve existing tree management practices, and strategies for maintaining the tree management software.Community Engagement: Funding for this category will include the creation of a Trees page on the City’s website, including information on the tree inventory, risk assessment, LiDAR canopy cover analysis, and dead/dying tree removals. The community will be able to be more involved in the inventory and analyses through public presentations and workshops such as at an estimated 4 Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission meetings. Also, the goal is to work with selected Title I schools in disadvantaged communities, to provide education and involvement in the tree inventory and canopy cover analysis process. The exact number of schools, classes, and students to be involved will be determined oncethe consultants are on board and able to engage in outreach with potential schools, especially those that are adjacent to parks and parkways that have trees. It is estimated that approximately 5 school sites will be identified, and approximately 250 students will be involved, but these numbers are estimates and remain to be finalized. Once the project starts, principals and teachers of potential schools will be engaged in the planning process. Engagement of schools will be very promising based on past efforts of the City.Project assessment/evaluation methods:City staff, including the City arborist, will oversee the inventory and risk assessment work conducted by the consultants. City staff will ensure that the reports meet the objectives and deliverables specified, in order to serve as a foundation for the future tree removal and tree replanting needs of the City,especially in terms of planting more resilient tree species that can withstand the climate impacts, and associated pest and disease impacts that are expected in the future. Tree removal work will also be evaluated by City staff, including the City Arborist.Communications Plan:

This estimate was provided by the City’s Parks Manager based on their recent experience. As there are 48,806 trees estimated that are managed by the City, the total budget for this item is $341,642. $7 X 48,806 = 341,642Year 1: 7 X $24,403 trees = $170,821Year 2: 7 X $24,403 trees = $170,821 Community Engagement: This line item will fund a community engagement process, including 4 community presentations/workshops, the creation of a webpage with content for residents to track ongoing progress, including the tree inventory, risk assessment, and justification for dead and dying tree removals. The community engagement will also integrate outreach regarding the LiDAR canopy cover analysis, including with local schools where available through classroom-based presentations. The cost is estimated at $55,533 . This cost was estimated after a phone cost estimate was provided by a consultant who does tree inventories, tree risk assessments, and community engagement. Training: Urban forestry management training classes for Oxnard’s permanent urban forestry staff. The training will involve topics such as tree data analysis, understanding basic practices related to long-term management of the trees, ways to improve existing tree management practices, and strategies for maintaining the tree management software. The cost is estimated at $15,000. These costs were estimated by the City’s certified arborist on staff based on their experience, and a quote was also requested from a training provider. This training line item covers exam fees, test fees, courses, study guides, and test preparation training for certified arborist and certified tree worker exams and certifications. $50/hour X 300 hrs = $15,000LiDAR for canopy cover analysis: The estimated cost for the LiDAR canopy cover analysis is a lump sum based on the area of the City of Oxnard.

They should never be subject to reprisal for doing so. Federal law protects federal employees as well as personal services contractors and employees of federal contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees against reprisal for whistleblowing. USDA bears the responsibility to ensure that nothing in a non-disclosure agreement which a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee requires their employees to sign should be interpreted as limiting their ability to provide information to the Office of Inspector General (OIG).41 USC section 4712 requires the head of each executive agency to ensure that its contractors inform their workers in writing of the rights and remedies under the statute. Accordingly, it is illegal for a personal services contractor or an employee of a federal contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against for making a protected whistleblower disclosure. In this context, these categories of individuals are whistleblowers who disclose information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of one of the following:Gross mismanagement of a federal contract or grant;A gross waste of federal funds;An abuse of authority relating to a federal contract or grant;A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; orA violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a federal contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant.To be protected under 41 USC section 4712, the disclosure must be made to one of the following:A Member of Congress, or a representative of a committee of Congress; The OIG;The Government Accountability Office (GAO);A Federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at USDA;An otherwise authorized official at USDA or other law enforcement agency; Docusign Envelope ID: A10727FC-7C0E-4B2E-9A78-2C31844F47DB 471

OIG’s investigation is then presented to the head of executive agency who evaluates the facts of the investigation and can order the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to take remedial action, such as reinstatement or back pay.Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 3.903, Whistleblower Protections for Contractor Employees, Policy, prohibits government contractors from retaliating against a contract worker for making a protected disclosure related to the contract. FAR Subpart 3.909-1 prohibits the Government from using funds for a contract with an entity that requires its employees or subcontractors to sign internal confidentiality statements prohibiting or restricting disclosures of fraud, waste, or abuse to designated persons. This prohibition does not contravene agreements pertaining to classified information. The regulation also requires contracting officers to insert FAR clause 52.203-17, Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR Subpart 3.908. This clause requires notification to contractor employees that they are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies referenced in 41 USC section 4712.In order to make a complaint alleging any of the violations mentioned above, one should complete the OIG Hotline form located at: https://www.usda.gov/oig/hotline.For additional information, they may also visit the WPC’s webpage at: https://www.usda.gov/oig/wpcor they may directly contact the WPC at [email protected].

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. H.8

DATE: September 2, 2025

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Information Technology Software Agreement 32600028 with Paradigm Software for Software for Scale House Operations for the Environmental Resources Division.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Information Technology Software Agreement with Paradigm Software for a total amount not to exceed $504,325.98 for a term of five years ending September 30, 2030.

(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on July 22, 2025)

BACKGROUND

The Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station (Del Norte) processes over 20,000 customer-billed account transactions annually. This level of activity necessitates an integrated scale house software system that supports Accounts Receivable (A/R) operations, including real-time tracking of paid and unpaid invoices, customer account management, and financial reporting.

Currently, Del Norte utilizes Paradigm Software Program Version 5, which is over ten years old, to manage scale operations. Due to its age, the system also has cybersecurity vulnerabilities in its underlying IT infrastructure which must be remediated or replaced. The system includes two core modules:

1. WeighStation Module – captures inbound and outbound weight data, material type, tipping fees, and customer account details.

2. CompuWeigh Module – manages A/R processes including customer billing, payment application, and aging reports for delinquent accounts.

In addition, the software provides tools for applying finance charges, generating open and aged item reports, managing closed accounts, processing payments and adjustments, and producing monthly customer statements. It also maintains comprehensive reference data, such as customer accounts, tipping rates, vehicle information, and waste source/destination sectors.

The scale house is equipped with two 70-foot Fairbanks scales and a recently installed 70-foot above-ground Mettler Toledo scale. The software system must be compatible with these scales and any future scale installations.

DISCUSSION

The existing Paradigm Software system at Del Norte, which is more than ten years old, has been functional but limited in scalability and integration, particularly with respect to incorporating newer hardware and meeting evolving operational needs. The aging CompuWeigh module, while capable of basic A/R functions, lacks the flexibility and automation features now considered standard in modern solid waste scale management systems. 486

To modernize operations, the City issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 25-32 on October 1, 2024, seeking a comprehensive, fully integrated software solution tailored for solid waste management scale operations. The new system needed to support real-time transaction capture, Point of Sale (POS) capabilities, customer billing, and seamless integration with both current and future hardware, including truck scales and peripherals.

Four proposals were received by the submission deadline of October 29, 2024. Following a detailed evaluation process based on company qualifications, staff expertise, relevant experience, and overall responsiveness, Paradigm Software was unanimously recommended for contract award by the review panel. The City’s evaluation panel consisted of two Administrative Services Specialist, Senior, an Administrator Services Supervisor, the IT Director of Solution Delivery, and an Administrative Service Coordinator.

The new Paradigm Software system offers several key improvements over the legacy system:
• Enhanced Compatibility: Full support for existing and future scale equipment. • Advanced Aging Reports: Robust open and aged item reporting for improved management of delinquent accounts.
• Data Migration: Seamless conversion of all existing customer and transactional data, preserving operational continuity.
• Modern Interfaces: Compatibility with off-the-shelf peripherals such as scanners, signature pads, and POS systems.
• Improved Security and Support: Upgraded system architecture and security features to meet current IT standards.
• Scalability and Training: Configuration, testing, and training included to support staff adoption and ensure system performance aligns with City needs.

Because the vendor is already familiar with the City’s operations, the transition is expected to be smooth with no service interruptions. Paradigm’s solution is fully compatible with the City’s IT infrastructure and satisfies all procurement and legal requirements, including licensure, insurance, and active registration with the California Secretary of State. Paradigm will provide support services for a five-year period, beginning October 1, 2025 and ending September 30, 2030. Staff would bring back for the City Council’s consideration any renewal option past the initial five-year period.

In summary, the new Paradigm Software platform will significantly enhance the City’s scale house customer service and operations through improved functionality, greater system compatibility, and reduced reliance on manual processing. It is also expected to be compatible with new truck scales expected to be constructed under a future capital improvement project at the Del Norte facility.

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 the Agreement with Paradigm Software shall not exceed the amount of $504,325.98. Funds for FY 2025- 26 have been programmed in the Environmental Resources Fund (631) in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. CHARGES, FEES, AND PAYMENT. Client shall pay the charges and annual fee for Platinum Support Services as specified in Exhibit B to Addendum A (System Implementation). The annual fee is payable annually in advance prior to the first day of the renewal term. At its sole discretion, Paradigm may increase its license fee and its charges for support and services by giving Client at least ninety (90) days’ notice prior to the affected term. If Paradigm provides services not expressly agreed to in this Agreement or in its Addenda, Client will be charged and agrees to pay for them at Paradigm's then-applicable rates. Prices and fees are exclusive of all current or future excise, sales, use, occupational, or like taxes, and Client agrees to pay any such tax Paradigm may be required to collect or pay (including interest and penalties imposed by any governmental authority) which are imposed upon the sale or delivery of goods, licensed software, or services rendered hereunder. Exemption from such taxes, if any, shall be the responsibility of Client to pursue.

2. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES. Client agrees to test, and if operable, accept and use updates, amendments and alterations to the Software furnished to Client hereunder and to provide, install and maintain, at no cost to Paradigm, for the duration of this Agreement, an adequate connection for remote support approved by Paradigm. Client shall allow Paradigm access to the Software via this connection for the purpose of providing Platinum Support Services. Administrative access to the Software will be required for implementation, and during the Support and Services period. The Software will be required to have specific access to “*.paradigmsoftware.com” and TCP port 443. To effectively troubleshoot any issues that may occur with your system, we require access to logs and other relevant troubleshooting resources. These resources are necessary for us to identify the root cause of the problem and develop an appropriate solution.

3. COVERAGE.

3.1 Software. The Software eligible for Platinum Support Services (as defined below) are WeighStation® CW6 as updated with all current modules, applications, amendments, alterations, enhancements, improvements, and updates furnished to Client from time to time under warranty (the "Software"). Support Services will be provided exclusively for the Client's currently supported version of Software, running on the operating system version approved by Paradigm.

The supported version refers to any build released by Paradigm within the past 24 months. The Client agrees to remain current (within the last 24 months) by either installing the latest build of the Software as provided by Paradigm or engaging with Paradigm to install the latest build for the Client.

3.2 Hardware. Paradigm shall provide remote assistance in the support, repair, and replacement of Hardware (the “Hardware”) listed in this Agreement. Support will be provided using the Client’s assistance and remote computer connection to diagnose and repair the reported problems or issues. If Hardware replacement is required, the Client will provide installation services of such Hardware unless onsite service is requested and quoted separately. The Hardware covered under this Agreement are listed in Exhibit D (Hardware Inventory Warranty Schedule). The quantity identified in Exhibit D will reflect the number of spare Hardware provided to the Client at any one time. Paradigm will be responsible for providing replacement Hardware once said Hardware has been pulled from the shelf and the failed Hardware meets the requirements of replaceable Hardware. Failed Hardware will be repaired/replaced at the sole OXCA_Agreement_2025 Page 3 of 37
6/27/2025
Agreement No. 32600028
491
discretion of Paradigm after an evaluation of the Hardware. Paradigm shall not be responsible for any misuse, neglect or abuse of, tampering with, force majeure, or vandalism of any Hardware. If Paradigm determines the failed Hardware meets the guidelines of a covered repair/replacement within this Section 3.2 and the Hardware is listed in Exhibit D, Paradigm will ground ship the replacement spare Hardware to the Client. If Paradigm determines the failed Hardware does not meet the guidelines of a covered repair/replacement, the Client will be provided with a quote for the spare replacement Hardware.

The Client shall maintain a local inventory of Paradigm owned (paid for by Paradigm) replacement Hardware (at the Client’s location of choice) to expedite service and minimize downtime in the event of a Hardware failure. Paradigm will provide replacement Hardware for local inventory upon receipt of the failed Hardware. The Client will be responsible for any associated freight charges with returning Hardware for repair, replacement and/or evaluation.

PARADIGM will provide alternative Hardware, as needed, which provides the same functionality and specifications of the failed Hardware in certain circumstances based on the availability of Hardware, at the time requested. Paradigm will acquire and own the Client inventory listed in Exhibit D of Addendum A.

4. PLATINUM SUPPORT SERVICES. During the term of this Agreement, Paradigm will provide the Client with its Platinum Support Services described in this paragraph. Subject to the license granted to the Client in the Software, Paradigm will provide technical services to design, code, check out and deliver amendments or alterations to the Software necessary to correct or solve any programming error attributable to Paradigm which caused the Software not to perform substantially as described in the current, standard editions of manuals delivered to the Client by Paradigm describing the use of the Software (the "Documentation"). Such Platinum Support Services will be promptly provided after the Client has identified and notified Paradigm of any such error in accordance with our Service Levels. Platinum Support includes the semi-annual installation of Software updates on the Client’s workstations, servers, or other hardware in both test and production environments. This service will be performed by Paradigm staff at a mutually agreed-upon time. Platinum Support will not include the re-installation of the Software and Paradigm will charge current hourly rates for the re-installation of Software on a new machine or a machine that the Client opts to update the operating system or other associated hardware.

Paradigm will provide reasonable telephone consultation in the use and operation of the Software 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, except company holidays (“Business Hours”). Client’s calls into Paradigm’s Support and Services line will receive priority placement in the queue.

Clients will receive up to two (2) hours of solution tuning quarterly. Solution tuning is defined as time spent with Paradigm staff to discuss the client’s configuration and recommend modifications to better the client’s operation.

5. TERM AND RENEWAL. Provided payment has been made as required hereunder, Paradigm shall provide Client with Platinum Support Services for a period of five (5) years.. The term of the license of the Software is governed by Addendum A hereto.

14.1 Escrow Agent. Safe Secure Escrow, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) has entered into an Agreement with Paradigm and accepted and currently holds on deposit a single copy of the source code for the WeighStation® CW6 computer program ("Source Code") that has been licensed to Client pursuant to the Agreement. Paradigm shall deposit an updated copy of the Source Code monthly of such updates, and each updated copy shall upon deposit be deemed the Source Code under the Agreement. The copy of the Source Code held by Escrow Agent shall be and remain the exclusive property of Paradigm, and Escrow Agent will hold the Source Code as specifically provided in this Section 14. Escrow Agent will hold the copy of the Source Code in a secure cloud or other digital environment and may deliver a copy of the Source Code to Client, but only under the conditions specified in this Section 14. Upon reasonable request, and at Client’s cost, Client may examine the copy of the Source Code to verify compliance with the OXCA_Agreement_2025 Page 6 of 37
6/27/2025
Agreement No. 32600028
494
terms hereof. Such examination shall be conducted on a computer to be made available by Paradigm at its premises in Cockeysville, Maryland.

14.2 Conditions for Escrow Release. Client shall be entitled to receive from Escrow Agent and to make limited use as provided in this Agreement of a single copy of the Source Code, if (i) Paradigm releases the Source Code to other licensees as a matter of general policy; (ii) Paradigm refuses to offer Client error correction services or changes required to comply with federal regulations at Paradigm's standard rates and on its standard terms and conditions; (iii) Paradigm becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, or has voluntarily wound up or liquidated its business (or that segment of its business pertinent to the License Agreement); or (iv) Paradigm as a debtor-in possession or a trustee-in-bankruptcy in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code rejects the Agreement. Any of the foregoing events is referred to below as a "Release Condition." Upon the happening of any Release Condition, Client may at its option give Escrow Agent written notice (the "Notice") requesting a copy of the Source Code. The Notice shall (i) be labeled "Notice Under Section 14 of Agreement Dated ______________," (ii) specify the Release Condition with reference to the applicable subsection of this Agreement; (iii) identify (by application name, version number and release date, and any other pertinent information) the computer programs for which Source Code is on deposit and which Client desires to have released; and (iv) be given within sixty (60) days of Client’s knowledge of the happening of the applicable Release Condition. Upon receipt of the Notice, Escrow Agent shall send a copy to Paradigm by commercial form guaranteed delivery, including encrypted retrieval (“Secure Delivery”). If Paradigm denies or disputes an alleged Release Condition, Paradigm shall, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the copy of the Notice from Escrow Agent, deliver to the Escrow Agent a statement (the "Statement") identifying its dispute. Escrow Agent shall send a copy of the Statement to Client by Secure Delivery, and Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Source Code in accordance with this Agreement. If Escrow Agent does not receive the Statement within the applicable time period, then Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to deliver a copy of the applicable Source Code to Client. Upon delivery to Client under any circumstances, the Source Code shall become a part of the licensed software and shall be subject to all of the license and confidentiality provisions and obligations set forth in the Agreement. In the event that Paradigm delivers the Statement to Escrow Agent in the manner and within the time period set forth above, Escrow Agent shall not release a copy of the Source Code or any part thereof, to Client unless (i) required to do so by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) Escrow Agent has received written instructions with authorized signatures of both Paradigm and Client requesting release to Client. The Escrow Agent shall withhold release of the Source Code to the Client if any fees or costs owed by the Client to Paradigm are unpaid.

14.3 Termination and Cancellation. The delivery of a copy of the Source Code to Client hereunder shall act as a termination of all of Paradigm's responsibilities, all of Paradigm’s warranties, and all of Paradigm's software support obligations under the Agreement and all other agreements between Paradigm and Client. In the event a copy of the Source Code is provided to the Client, Paradigm shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the IP as provided by Section 7 of this Platinum Support Services and Licensing Agreement and any other attachment thereto, and the license granted, and the term thereof as provided in Addendum A to this Platinum Support Services shall remain in effect.

14.4 Limitation on Escrow Agent’s Liability. As a fiduciary, conservator, receiver, or guardian of the Source Code that it receives, Escrow Agent’s obligation is solely one of safekeeping.

Escrow Agent shall not be obligated or required to examine or inspect the Source Code. The Escrow Agent cannot and does not warrant the content of the Source Code that it receives from Paradigm, regardless of the media used to transmit it. Escrow Agent's obligation for safekeeping shall be limited to providing the same degree of care for the Source Code as it maintains for its valuable documents and those of its other clients at the same location. However, Escrow Agent nor Paradigm shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to the Source Code due to a computer or hardware crash, malfunction, or changes in atmospheric conditions (including, but not limited to, failure of the air conditioning system), unless such changes are proximately caused by the gross negligence or malfeasance of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it, not only in assuming its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for any act or failure to act under the provisions of this Agreement except where its acts are the result of its gross negligence or malfeasance. Escrow Agent shall not have duties except those which are expressly set forth herein, and it shall not be bound by any notice of a claim, or demand with respect thereto, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination or rescission of this Agreement, unless such notice is in writing and actually received, and, if its duties herein are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto. Paradigm and Client shall jointly and severally indemnify Escrow Agent against any loss, liability, or damage (other than any caused by the gross negligence or malfeasance of Escrow Agent), including reasonable costs of litigation and counsel fees, arising from and in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Paradigm and Client acknowledge that neither this Agreement nor their waiver of any potential conflict created hereby will materially limit the ability of the Escrow Agent to perform hereunder.

14.5 Intellectual Property. The release of the Source Code to Client will not act as an assignment of any intellectual property rights that Paradigm or any third party possesses in the Source Code. The Source Code shall remain at all times the confidential and intellectual property of Paradigm. In the event that Escrow Agent releases the Source Code to the Client, Client shall be permitted to use the Source Code only to the extent of Client’s license pursuant to the Agreement.

14.6 Disputes. In the event of any disagreement between the parties resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or against the Source Code, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with the claims or demands of either party until such disagreement is finally resolved (i)

by a court of competent jurisdiction (in proceedings which the Escrow Agent or any other party may initiate, it being understood and agreed by Client and Paradigm that Escrow Agent has authority (but not the obligation) to initiate such proceedings), or (ii)

by an arbitrator
in the event that Client and Paradigm mutually and jointly determine to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to a party, or (iii)

by written settlement between Client and
Paradigm.

15. 14.7 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign by delivery of a thirty (30) day written notice to both Paradigm and the Client. The Escrow Agent will deliver the Source Code upon the OXCA_Agreement_2025 Page 8 of 37
6/27/2025
Agreement No. 32600028
496
joint written direction of Paradigm if received within thirty (30) days of the date on the Escrow Agent’s notice of resignation. If no direction is received within the time period outlined, the Source Code will be delivered to Thomas M. Wagner & Associates, 323 Williams Street, Bel Air, MD 21014 to serve as acting trustee, until a new successor escrow agent is secured by Paradigm.MISCELLANEOUS.

15.1 Complete Understanding. This Agreement, including all of its Terms and Conditions and Addenda are the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, representations, and proposals, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. Client expressly acknowledges, agrees, and represents to Paradigm that there are no understandings or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees that no contrary terms and conditions of any subsequent Client purchase order, no course of dealing, trade custom or usage of trade, and no warranty made during the course of performance, will apply, unless expressly agreed to by Paradigm in writing. This Agreement cannot be modified except by writing signed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties.

15.2 Notice. Any notice or communication provided or permitted hereunder shall expressly describe its purpose and scope and shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given or made if delivered in person or sent by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party for which it is intended at the address set forth in this Agreement or at any other address specified by a party in writing.

15.3 Invalidity. In the event any provision hereof shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental agency, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and replaced by a valid provision which approximates as closely as possible the intent of the parties. All remaining provisions shall be afforded full force and effect.

15.4 Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective and shall be binding only upon acceptance by Paradigm at its offices in Cockeysville, Maryland. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been formed in the State of Maryland, U.S.A. and shall be governed by, subject to, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of that State BUT WITHOUT APPLICATION

OF THE MARYLAND UNIFORM COMPUTER INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS ACT (Md. Code Ann., Comm. Law §§22-101 et seq.) or “MUCITA”. The parties consent to venue in Baltimore County, Maryland.

15.5 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for twelve (12) months after its termination, neither Paradigm nor Client may employ or solicit to employ persons employed by the other.

15.6 Force Majeure. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the dates and times by which Client or Paradigm are required to render delivery or performance (but not to make payment) under this Agreement shall be automatically postponed to the extent, and for the period of time, that Client or Paradigm, as the case may be, is prevented from meeting such dates and times by reason of causes beyond its reasonable control.

15.7 Inconsistency. Unless specified to the contrary in any addendum, exhibit, schedule, supplement or other attachment, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such items and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and govern the interpretation thereof. No inference shall be drawn against, and no construction shall be adverse to, the party responsible for drafting or preparing this Agreement or any of its parts, or any addendum hereto, by virtue of such drafting or preparation.

15.8 Limitations.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. I.1

DATE: September 2, 2025

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Agreement 32600038 with AECOM for Engineering Services During Construction. (10 minutes)

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize:

1. The Mayor to execute an Agreement with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) for a term of one year and four months from September 3, 2025, to December 31, 2026, for a total amount not to exceed $835,335 for Engineering Services During Construction for the Wastewater Reliability Improvements Project; and

2. A budget appropriation of $835,335 from the available fund balance in the Wastewater Operating Fund (611) and the corresponding appropriation and revenue transfer in the Wastewater Capital Fund (612).

(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

On June 7, 2022, the Wastewater Division awarded Agreement A-8463 to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. for the Wastewater Reliability Improvements Project (C2201). The project scope includes the construction of a new electrical building and motor control centers, a maintenance storage building, site security upgrades, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system improvements, and various other enhancements. The project is currently 75% complete and remains in active construction.

AECOM served as the original designer for Project C2201 and has been providing design support during construction through Task Order 07 under Agreement A-8415. Agreement A-8415 was established for general engineering services across the Public Works Department. As with most capital improvement program (CIP) projects, the designer of record provides support during the construction phase for services such as responding to requests for additional information, submittal review, and commissioning and start-up of treatment processes. The work performed under this task order has been integral to the progress of the current construction effort. To ensure continuity, maintain efficiency, and better align with the project's specific needs, the Wastewater Division is now requesting to establish a standalone contract with AECOM for design services for the remainder of the project, currently estimated to be completed by December 2026.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:

Project No. C2201 - Wastewater OWTP: Reliability Improvements - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 - Page 155.

DISCUSSION
526

A negotiated sole source contract is requested as AECOM is the optimum viable source for this work due to their extensive involvement with the project’s design, facility conditions, ongoing coordination with the construction contractor, and as AECOM is the legal engineer of record for the project design. Their continued involvement is essential for providing timely responses to requests for information, reviewing submittals, issuing design clarifications, and evaluating potential field changes. Engaging a different engineering consultant at this stage would be inefficient, costly, disruptive to the project timeline, and can bring uncertainty to the liability and responsibility held as the engineer of record.

To date, AECOM has been compensated $580,922.54 under Agreement A-8415 Task Order 07 for these services. The original task order did not account for unforeseen field conditions that now requires additional complex design considerations, including underground utilities around the new electrical building and basin isolation at the wastewater treatment plant headworks. The new contract includes these and shall have a not-to-exceed amount of $835,335 and is proposed to cover design services through project completion, currently estimated at December 31, 2026.

The purpose of establishing a standalone NSS contract is to phase out the reliance on general task orders under broader Public Works engineering service agreements and instead implement a contract specific to Project C2201. This approach promotes greater consultant accountability, improves expenditure tracking, and supports the City’s goal of streamlining contract administration for large capital projects. Additionally, this NSS contract ensures adherence to the new purchasing Ordinance 3053 passed by City Council on April 15, 2025, specifically Section 4-9, which states:

4-9 ON-CALL AGREEMENTS
(G) Task Orders issued for professional services subject to Article III and related to a Capital Improvement Project shall not exceed $220,000.

Given that AECOM requires additional funding through the end of Project C2201, a standalone contract must be established as task orders may not be issued in excess of $220,000 for capital improvement projects under the new Purchasing Ordinance.

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 this Agreement with AECOM shall not exceed $835,335 through the contract term ending December 31, 2026.

There is currently $32,335,093 available in the Wastewater OWTP: Reliability Improvements Project (C2201), funded by State and Federal sources (Funds 200 and 210) and the State Revolving Fund (617). However, these funds are designated specifically for construction-related expenses and not professional services.

Therefore, staff is requesting a budget appropriation of $835,335 from the Wastewater Operating Fund (611) available fund balance, along with a corresponding appropriation increase in the Wastewater Capital Fund (612) for the same amount, to fund Agreement 32600038 within this project.

For Finance Use Only: Wastewater Operating Fund (Org. 6113610 Obj. 59800); Wastewater Capital Fund (Org. 6123610 Obj. 49800 & 53200) Project C2201

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.
