CITY OF PALM DESERT

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 12, 2024
PREPARED BY: Melanie Perry, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: AWARD AN AGREEMENT WITH CASC ENGINEERING AND
CONSULTING, INC., FOR MS4 PERMIT INSPECTIONS AND NPDES

SUPPORT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Award a professional services agreement with CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc., for MS4 Permit Inspections and NPDES support services in an amount not to exceed $200,000 per fiscal year for a 30-month term commencing now, with two one-year contract extensions.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any written requests for amendments, and any other documents necessary to effectuate this action, in accordance with Section 3.30.170 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.

3. Authorize the City Attorney to make necessary non-monetary changes to the contract.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. The NPDES Municipal Storm Water Permitting Program regulates stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Per the requirements of the MS4 permit, the City must conduct commercial/industrial inspections of businesses each year. Failure to secure this permit or comply with its requirements could lead to violations or fines.

On October 27, 2022, the City Council awarded CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc., (CASC) a contract (C44280) valued at $50,000 annually for a three-year term, with the option of two extensions, to provide inspection services. However, in response to Tropical Storm Hilary, staff identified the need for a more comprehensive stormwater inspection schedule for the citywide storm system. In addition, a broader scope of services is recommended, including support for municipal facility inspections, annual reporting, construction site inspections, investigations, and data management. Expanding these services will ensure that the City’s storm drains and infrastructure are maintained to prevent future damage.

In June 2024, the City advertised a request for proposals for MS4 inspection services but received only one proposal from CASC. To encourage additional participation, the City readvertised in August 2024; however, only CASC again submitted the only proposal. After a thorough review, staff determined that CASC has the relevant experience and expertise to perform said services. Staff conducted a reference check on the Contractor, receiving commendable feedback on their past performance, including their responsiveness, work quality, and communication with their clients.

City of Palm Desert
MS4 CASC Agreement

Although CASC’s proposal was under $150,000, staff recommend awarding a new contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 per fiscal year. This will provide flexibility to include additional areas and services as needed by City staff. The contract will cover MS4 inspections, outreach to the City’s various homeowners’ associations, and a more comprehensive evaluation of the system’s condition.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The approved Fiscal Year 2024/25 operations budget for the Public Works Department allocates $350,000 under Account No. 1104396-4400100 for the MS4 Permit and NPDES Management Program. As a result, there will be no additional financial impact on the General Fund.

Costs for the initial months of the agreement are expected to be substantial due to the initial inspection of the City’s retention basins. Therefore, a prorated amount for the remainder of the fiscal year is not recommended.

The budget includes a $50,000 contingency for conducting any unforeseen infrastructure inspections, ensuring that inventory is complete, documenting and recording conditions. Staff are not obligated to spend the contingency.

The table below outlines the projected expenses for FY 2024/25.

Subject: Request for Proposals – City of Palm Desert, MS4 PermitInspections and NPDES Support Services, RFP #2024-RFP-133
Ms. Perry,
Casc Engineering and Consulting (Casc) is pleased to present our qualifications and are excited to have the opportunity to continue to provide our services to the City of Palm Desert (City). This proposal package demonstrates how the City can benefit from not only our extensive and relevant NPDES regulatory experience and municipal program knowledge but also from our extensive stormwater experience in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley.

Brief History
Casc was established in 1993 and has been providing professional consulting services to government and institutional clients for nearly 30 years. Casc is regarded as one of the leading NPDES consulting firms in the Whitewater River Watershed and in Southern California.

We bring to the City of Palm Desert extensive experience in all aspects of the Whitewater River (WWR) Watershed MS4 permit. We have been supporting numerous stormwater programs in Riverside County and the Coachella Valley for over 15 years, including programs for the cities of Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and La Quinta, as well as for Riverside County Flood Control, Riverside County Department of Transportation, and Riverside County Economic Development Agency.

Why continue with Casc as the City’s NPDES Program Consultant? Casc has dealt with the ever-changing NPDES Permit regulations for over 20 years and has kept our finger on the pulse of the state and regional regulatory agencies to anticipate potential new requirements for the City. At Casc, we pride ourselves in our ability to limit project challenges by forward-thinking and planning, as well as our ability to resolve project issues by following established protocols in a professional and cooperative manner.

Ultimately, the success of any project comes down to the people involved, and Casc is proposing a technically seasoned team committed to continuing to serve the City. Highlights of the exceptional qualifications of the Casc team include:
• Experience with Whitewater River – The Project Manager, Assistant Project Manager, and the entire Casc team are known for their exceptional knowledge of the Whitewater River NPDES Permit. We have experience gained through conducting a wide range of similar activities for the cities of Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and the County of Riverside Transportation Department.

Casc is regarded as one
of the leading NPDES
consulting firms in the
Whitewater River
Watershed and in
Southern California.

B. EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE—BACKGROUND

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Casc Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (Casc), a California S corporation (SBE), was established in 1993 to provide
professional civil and environmental engineering,
surveying, and related consulting services to government agencies, utility companies, school districts, private
developers, and industry groups. Operating from five
Southern California offices (Palm Desert, Colton, Temecula, Irvine, and Glendora), our office located in Palm Desert will serve as the primary office for services to the City of Palm Desert. Having a local office within the City allows Casc to provide efficient support services, while eliminating the logistical challenges facing other out-of-area consultants.

LEADERSHIP IN THE WATER QUALITY FIELD
Casc is a leader in the storm water profession. Our staff continues to serve in prominent positions for leading storm water professional organizations: Rick Sidor has co-chaired CASQA’s Construction and Phase II subcommittees; Melanie Sotelo is the past Co-Chair of the CASQA Construction subcommittee, and is currently the Administration Vice President of the IECA Western Chapter Board. Our staff have been directly involved in developing standard-setting guidance for storm water BMPs including CASQA’s Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbooks, the first edition of Caltrans’ Storm Water Quality Handbooks, and BASMAA’s, Using Site Design Techniques to Meet Development Standards for Storm Water Quality – A Companion to Start at the Source. In 2017, Casc led the development of three standard–setting reports for CASQA including LID Technical Standards Review, Bioretention and Standards Review, LID Technical Standards Review-Permeable Pavement Details and Standards Review; and LID Technical Standards, Review-Future efforts related to LID.

Jeffrey Endicott, a Vice President at Casc and proposed Engineering Director for this project, was awarded the prestigious Leadership Award by the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) in 2019. The Leadership Award was awarded for his “outstanding leadership within CASQA and his exceptional contributions to the stormwater quality management profession over a significant time period.”

COMPETENCE OF THE TEAM
Casc’s Water Quality Division is comprised of engineers, scientists and technical support staff who have extensive experience in stormwater program development, implementation, and
management. From conducting NPDES inspection services, to full stormwater program implementation support, Casc has a proven track record of serving Municipal MS4 programs of all sizes and complexities. All members of the proposed project team are currently providing storm water management inspection services to public and private entities, and thus have a proven track record of performance on projects similar to the work described in the RFP.

Casc has developed a reputation as a company that provides technically appropriate and credible advice to clients and we pride ourselves on being a resource to facilitate compliance. Our staff will use this same approach in the work we perform for the City of Palm Desert.

CASC is not just a company of
consultants. The firm and
many of its staff are leaders in
the storm water management
industry.

MS4 PERMIT INSPECTIONS AND NPDES SUPPORT SERVICES

PALM DESERT, CA
Since 2021, Casc has provided Palm Desert NPDES inspection services, including for restaurant, commercial, industrial facility and low-priority construction site inspections in accordance with the Whitewater River Region MS4 Permit requirements. Inspections are scheduled by Casc and completed in compliance with Permit-required frequency. Casc compiled a priority list for each inspection type by pulling current WDID information from the SMARTS database for both construction projects and industrial facilities, and coordinating with the City for applicable current and new business licenses. Inspectors visit the selected sites, record their observations, and recommend additional best management practices to minimize pollutant discharges to the drainage system. Casc would update and maintain the City’s current commercial/industrial database to reflect completed inspections and identify facilities that need follow up. Casc also assisted the City by coordinating with code enforcement for Illicit Connection/Illegal Discharge investigations to verify proper escalation of enforcement efforts.

Furthermore, Casc provided support for the City to prepare for and participate in an audit of Palm Desert’s MS4 Program when inspected by the Regional Board in Spring 2023. Prior to the audit with the Regional Board, Casc joined Riverside County Watershed Staff Pre-Audit preparation meetings with the City to assist the City in navigating the audit process and understanding of their internal operations. During the audit, Casc kept the process on track by providing valuable insights on what is and is not required by the current permit, and identifying any overreaching expectations by the Regional Board. Casc’s contributions were instrumental in facilitating focus on the City’s process and how their program successfully meets the audit objectives.

STORMWATER PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CA
Casc is the City of Palm Springs’ Consultant Storm Water Program Manager, responsible for management and implementation of the City’s storm water program. Services include providing guidance on LID implementation on new development and redevelopment projects, NPDES municipal training, private construction inspections, IC/ID investigation and reporting documentation, coordination with Desert Task Force Meeting attendance, Trash Amendment
compliance activities, MS4 annual reporting, and Report of Waste Discharge efforts related to the Whitewater River MS4 Permit renewal. Additional responsibilities include implementation of the City’s construction site program, the commercial/ industrial facilities inspection program, and municipal inspection program. Inspection services include providing construction, commercial, industrial, restaurant, and municipal inspections. With over 375 commercial/industrial facilities subject to the permit requirements, and many additional construction and municipal facilities, CASC developed a database using GIS to organize, prioritize, and track the inspection program.

CASC uses ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 as their main source of report generation to allow inspectors to use tablets to document inspection results, collect contact information, attach photos, obtain the signature of the facility representative, and immediately email the completed inspection report to the Project Manager and site representative.

MS4 NPDES INSPECTION PROGRAM

CITY OF HEMET, CA
Casc is assisting the City of Hemet with NPDES program implementation activities, including program management, facility evaluations, commercialindustrial inspections, and previously provided WQMP and drainage document reviews. Casc works with the City to provide assistance with MS4 Permit compliance, TMDL compliance, TMDL task force attendance, Public Education Subcommittee participation, and annual reporting documentation.

For the commercial/industrial inspections, Casc works closely with the City’s NPDES coordinator to identify commercial and industrial businesses within the City’s jurisdiction that meet inspection criteria per the Riverside County Phase I MS4 Permit Santa Ana Region, and Drainage Area Management Plan.

Inspectors visit each site and document the status of best management practices in place to minimize pollutant discharges to the drainage system. In order to bring Hemet’s Public Works’ tracking software to a state where digital inspections could be performed and then imported into that software, Casc assembled a team to develop a GIS-based interactive inspection program that is used by inspectors and City staff. The interactive program has been designed to be compatible with the City’s database system so that all inspection information is imported and reflected in the City software. Casc conducts webinar training programs tailored specifically for the City’s inspection program and provides field training for inspectors and City staff.

MS4 NPDES INSPECTION PROGRAM

CITY OF TEMECULA, CA
Casc provides industrial and commercial inspections for the City in accordance with their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit and their storm water ordinance. Inspections include observing best management practices at facilities used for protecting storm water runoff and verifying that facilities that require coverage under the Industrial General Permit have the required WDID and SWPPP on site.

For high-priority inspections, generally industrial and selected commercial facilities, the inspector uses EnerGov software in the field to schedule and document facility inspections. These inspections are conducted on a per-facility basis. For medium and low-priority inspections, the inspector conducts drive-by reviews. Casc utilizes the City’s database applications, EnerGov and IG Inspect, a web-based mapping interface, as an organizational and scheduling tool. Casc inspectors view which facilities have been inspected, need to be inspected, and require follow-up. Inspectors use the tools to schedule facility inspections based on the priority level of the facility to help Casc inspectors guide a more efficient and effective workflow.

INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL FACILITY INSPECTION PROGRAM

CITY OF IRWINDALE, CA
Casc has provided the City of Irwindale with NPDES compliance services during the current MS4 permit term. Services have included oversight of permit programs (minimum control measures), coordination of shared Receiving Water monitoring, and performing 300 industrial/commercial facility inspections and development of the associated database.

Casc also provided training to City staff related to the Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program and general MS4 permit requirements.

Using business license data provided by the City, Casc developed and prioritized a list of facilities for the Industrial/ Commercial Facilities Database including a GIS map of the facility locations. Casc developed an inspection form for inspectors and then conducted inspections at approximately 300 identified industrial/ commercial facilities to verify the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), eliminate illicit connections and/or discharges, and verify permit coverage.

D. METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH SCOPE OF WORK

GENERAL APPROACH
Casc has proudly and successfully served the City of Palm Desert for the past 4 years. Casc’s ability to quickly respond and adapt to a variety of NPDES-related services requested by the City is attributed to its technically seasoned and dedicated staff who place the City’s needs as priority. Casc has reviewed and acknowledges the Scope of Work listed in the RFP and provides the following generalized summary approach.

Project Management: With over 20 years of professional experience, Joyce Goode will continue to serve as the Consultant NPDES Project Manager for the City. She has proven herself to be an expert in NPDES permits and a dedicated Project Manager for the City and will continue to be the main point of contact for City staff. To provide certainty for immediate response to City requests, Casc will continue to implement a parallel style of project management to serve the City.
• Parallel Project Management: Casc proposes the continuation of Parallel Project Management. This provides continual internal contact that occurs between the Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager, Shanna Delgado. Working as a team, they are always available to meet the needs of the City via text, phone call, video conference or email, allowing for immediate response for service requests or questions/concerns.

This type of Project Management will allow Casc to continue to serve the City as a “one-stop shop” for NPDES compliance. Our full-service water quality team is available to support the Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager to continue to meet the needs of the City.

The following tasks have been developed to address all items in the Scope of Work outlined in the RFP.

TASK 1: NPDES SUPPORT SERVICES
Casc will continue to provide NPDES support services for the City. Proposed services will be covered by utilizing the team members that are strong in each area indicated in the Scope of Work. A generalized discussion of support services is summarized below:

Meeting Representation: Casc’s Project Managers currently represent clients at all regulatory, task force, watershed or status meetings. Casc can provide these types of representation services at a cost share with our other clients. All representation will be conducted in a professional manner and will keep the City’s interests at the forefront. Casc has established positive relationships with the Principal Permittees, Co-Permittees, and Regional. Casc’s involvement in professional stormwater management organizations, like the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA), gives Casc insight into new policies that could potentially impact Permittees in the Whitewater region. Casc has introduced and spearheaded several of the conversations regarding these new policies within regulatory and task force meetings on behalf of our White Water River clients. By doing so, others view our clients as leading the way in regulatory compliance.

City Coordination and Reports, Technical Studies, etc.: Casc’s team will continue to meet regularly with the City to provide updates on NPDES regulations, MS4 Permit renewal status, enforcement actions and other NPDES compliancerelated items. Additionally, Casc can assist with work on required reports, such as fee studies, or ordinance reviews and updates, SWMP updates, SOPs, maintenance plans, inspections and other NPDES compliance items. All work will be coordinated with City staff as work progresses, providing the City with a continual status of assigned projects.

Permit Compliance and Policy: Casc’s experienced team stays ahead of the curve during Permit compliance negotiations and state polices. Casc will continue to provide updates the City these.

Annual Reporting: Casc has extensive experience in MS4 Permit Annual Report preparation and understands that providing the City time for review and comment on the internal draft of the report is essential. Casc will continue to provide suggested input and/or edits of proposed material to be submitted to the Regional Board. Further, Casc will work with City staff to obtain information required for reporting. Casc will then prepare the Annual Report with two (2) internal draft review periods consisting of two (2) weeks, to allow sufficient review time.

Casc will continue to serve the
City as a “one-stop shop” for
NPDES compliance.

Inspection Fee Program: Casc has assisted several of our clients with the development of a fee study for implementation of the fee program for NPDES inspections. Casc can assist the City with the preparation of a fee study program to recoup costs associated with the NPDES inspection program.

Regulatory Audits: Casc has extensive experience assisting other agencies with regulatory audits. Casc has recently assisted in the City in preparing for an audit with the Regional Board, and also attended the audit to ensure the audit stayed within the parameters of the Board’s agenda. Casc has years of positive experience working with the Colorado River Regional Board staff, understanding that Regional Board audits typically focus on particular elements of the MS4 Permit stormwater programs, and will continue to provide the following support:
• Work with City staff to obtain information and data required for the audit; • Preparation or completion of any pre-inspection questionnaires and/or forms; • Assistance during the audit process; and
• Assistance with response to audit findings and gathering support information.

Training: Casc is known for conducting annual workshops to train City staff and contract staff responsible for NPDES requirement implementation. Casc recognizes that these annual training sessions can be repetitive to most staff. Casc has worked diligently to provide informative and interactive trainings that are focused to specifically meet the needs of the audience to promote compliance with stormwater requirements. Casc has provided one-on-one as needed training to the City. Casc can offer more robust training in a number of formats including classroom, tailgate or virtual sessions.

Additionally, with CGP and IGP Trainers of Record on Casc’s team, optional training opportunities are also available to the City, such as QSD or QISP trainings.

Preparation of Grant Documents: Casc continually monitors for grant opportunities for our clients. We have an extensive experience in researching, preparing and submitting applications for grant programs using online application web-based modules and databases, such as OPTI. Casc has assisted, and is currently assisting, agencies with funding projections for the projects as requested by each program and Casc has developed project specific submittals and documents for uploading on behalf of the agencies that were represented.

TASK 2: NPDES INSPECTION PROGRAM

GENERAL PROCESS
Casc’s inspectors currently provide inspection services for over 415 commercial, industrial, and restaurant facilities, as well as inspection services for on-call IC/ID investigations and construction inspections. Casc has a positive record of working with the business community to verify that facilities comply with permit requirements. Casc’s inspectors are experts in compliance requirements of the MS4 Permit, the Construction General Permit and the Industrial General Permit. Casc inspectors will utilize the GIS database developed by Casc to implement mobile applications to complete inspections on mobile devices such as phones or tablets. Use of these applications provides data collection in real time and provides an efficient workflow between the Project Manager and inspectors. Services proposed include all five program areas as listed in the Scope of Services. Casc’s proposed stormwater inspection general process is detailed below.

Inspection Project Administration: The approach taken in conducting NPDES-related inspections (commercial, industrial, restaurant, construction, and IC/ID) is generally the same, with subtle differences. Therefore, Casc will continue the following general inspection approach that has been fine tuned for conducting stormwater-related inspections. • Established Inspection Schedule: Based on Casc’s experience in the City and with MS4 Permit requirements for inspections (e.g., twice a permit term or once per permit term), Casc has established an inspection inventory database utilizing GIS and has developed an inspection schedule and frequency for all sites requiring inspection. Development and maintenance of the inspection schedule includes the following for consideration:
25 476

CITY OF PALM DESERT
MS4 Permit Inspections and NPDES Support Services
RFP #2024-RFP-133
 Identify Inspection Development Type: Casc will review the type of inspection, the inspection schedule/ frequency, and the scope of required NPDES-related inspections. Identify geographically similar sites to increase the number of inspections performed daily, thereby reducing overall inspection completion timelines.  Consider peak business hours: Inspections will be scheduled to avoid peak business hours.  Language barriers: For business operators and construction sites where language barriers have the potential to cause a gap in communication regarding compliance, Casc has several bi-lingual inspectors to complete the inspections. Casc will also provide, as available, translated educational materials and pamphlets. Casc can also assist in the development of translated materials for the City per the City’s adopted policy requiring duallanguage translation of documents and information distributed regarding educational brochures and outreach materials.
 Team Assignments: The Project/Asst Project Manager will assign and schedule inspections to appropriately credentialed staff (e.g., P.E., EIT, QSD, QSP, QISP, CPSWQ) depending on the scope of inspection service required. The assigned inspectors will dress professionally and conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for conducting activities as representatives of the City.
• Inspection Preparation: Assigned inspectors will utilize GIS and mobile apps to review the existing information depending on inspection type such as the project’s plan information, previous inspection reports, SMARTS database, compliance history, and project notes.
• Perform Inspections: Inspectors will use the ArcGIS Collector mobile app to locate facilities/projects that need to be inspected during the reporting year.

The inspector will arrive and walk the facility to observe facility layout, BMP installation, interceptors, and/or facility activities, existing and potential compliance issues, and discharges, if any. The inspector will provide verbal and educational pamphlets during the inspections. If the inspector observes any non-compliance issues, the inspector will discuss the issues with the site representative and provide recommendations for compliance. The inspector will use ArcGIS Collector to schedule the next inspection date depending on the result of the inspection.
• Documentation: The inspector will complete the inspection form using ArcGIS Survey123. The inspection form will note observations, compliance issues, and provide recommendations to the facility on how to achieve compliance with Permit requirements. Inspection reports will be generated with photographs of the inspections and emailed or mailed to the facility owners/operators for their records.
• Reinspection/Follow-up: Inspectors will provide required reinspection and follow-up to verify items of non-compliance have been addressed. In Casc’s experience, approximately 20% of sites will require reinspection or follow-up services. All follow-up inspection activities will follow documentation and database requirements.
• Notices of Non-Compliance and Citations: Facilities found to be in noncompliance will be discussed with City staff and enforcement actions beyond the issuance of a Notice of Non-Compliance will be at the discretion of the City.

The inspector will obtain photos of instances of non-compliance. Casc will notify the City of the Notice of Non-Compliance, if applicable. If immediate 26 477

CITY OF PALM DESERT
MS4 Permit Inspections and NPDES Support Services
RFP #2024-RFP-133
threats to the health and safety of the public and/or the environment are observed, including illicit connections, or illegal discharges, the City will be contacted immediately. • Notifications and Reporting: Since inspections are done in real time, inspectors are able to notify the Project Manager via text or phone call as needed and the Project Manger is able to review findings and report areas of concerns to the City without delay. Casc will continue this approach to guarantee that notifications and reporting are enforced.
• Deliverables: Casc will continue to provide the City with digital copies of all inspection reports and updated inventories in excel format.

ADDITIONAL PROCESS FOR COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL INSPECTIONS There are currently 415 active facilities in the City’s NPDES inspection inventory. 187 facilities are classified as commercial or industrial, and 228 facilities that are classified as food/restaurant. Commercial or industrial facilities are required to be inspected twice during the 5-year Permit term. Food/restaurant facilities are required to be inspected once during the 5- year Permit term. To comply with the Permit’s inspection requirements, Casc proposes a yearly target inspection goal of 94 commercial or industrial facilities and 45 restaurant facilities, for a total of 139 inspections annually. If facilities are added or removed, the Inspection Inventory and yearly inspection target goal will be updated.

Casc will continue to conduct the inspections to assist the City with fulfilling requirements of the Permit and SWMP. Casc will provide stormwater inspections of other facilities that pose a threat to stormwater in addition to commercial/ industrial facilities as required.

Commercial/industrial inspections will also include the following steps:
• The inspector will field verify if the businesses are still operating. If businesses are no longer in operation, the inspector will update the inventory database to reflect an inspectable business is no longer at the location, or will update the database with a new facility.
• Industrial facilities subject to coverage under the Industrial General Permit (IGP) will be identified and the inspector will verify the facility operator has a current Waste Discharge Identification Number (WDID) or a current No Exposure Certification (NEC). If the industrial facility has not obtained IGP coverage, the inspector will notify the owner or owner’s representative and provide information on obtaining coverage.

ADDITIONAL PROCESS FOR RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS
Most restaurant facilities have interceptors to separate fats, oils, and grease prior to entering the City’s sewer system. If these interceptors are not maintained properly, sanitary sewer spills can occur which can potentially impact the City’s MS4. If a restaurant is unable to provide maintenance records of the interceptor at the time of the inspection, Casc will coordinate with the City’s NPDES contact to alert the City of the potential concern and will assist the City in coordinating with the agency responsible for conducting FOG inspections.

ADDITIONAL PROCESS FOR NPDES CONSTRUCTION COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS Currently, Casc conducts construction inspections for Low Priority projects 1 acre or greater per the schedule identified in the SWMP. Casc will continue provide Low Priority construction inspections and reporting services to verify compliance with the CGP is met. Casc will also include an option for High Priority projects greater than 50 acres. This item is discussed in the Optional Items section.

ADDITIONAL PROCESSES FOR IC/ID INSPECTION SERVICES
IC/ID inspections are triggered when a complaint has been filed or by field observations. These types of inspections are not scheduled and response time must be within 24-48 hours depending on the severity and health concerns. In order to be responsive to these types of on-call investigations, Casc has implemented a remote working environment for its team.

As soon as an IC/ID investigation is triggered by the City via phone call, email or text, inspectors are able to arrive at the site within hours. Casc has worked successfully alongside with the City’s NPDES Coordinator and Code Enforcement to stop discharges, and provide education to business owners and residents to prevent future discharges. 27 478

This process will assist Casc in ascertaining the layout, types of site specific PC-BMPs, current status, and history of each HOA, City storm channel, and City retention basin.

Perform On-Site Visual Inspections of HOAs and City Retention Basins: On-site visual inspections includes coordination and mobilization to the site of each HOA and City retention basin. Visual inspections will include making relevant observations regarding of PC- BMPs, including but not limited to: the presence or absence of the PC- BMP; the condition of the PC-BMP; indications of maintenance of the PC- BMP; and the drainage area of the PC- BMP for signs of excessive loading and/ or inappropriate discharges to the PC- BMP. Photographs of the PC- BMPs will be taken to document current conditions, especially when non- compliance is detected. During On- Site Inspections, as needed to assist in achieving compliance, the facility owner and/ or representative will be offered educational material regarding city, state, and federal regulations, MS4 Permit requirements, and BMP maintenance. All results of on-site inspections will be entered into the City' s database to document inspection observations and the outcome of the inspection.

Casc has made the following assumptions for the proposal process:
• The City will provide all contact information for HOAs. • The City has all structures identified in GIS.
• Training for City applications and databases will be provided to Casc (assumes 1-hr). • HOA visual inspections are limited to PC-BMPs. If additional drainage structures, such as catch basins, are requested by the City, this may reduce the amount of inspections. Casc will work with the City to inspect higher priority sites first . If budget is remaining, Casc will conduct inspections of lower priority locations until the allotted budget is exhausted.

City Channel Inspections:

Casc, utilizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS),
will provide aerial observations to assist with
visual assessments of channels and outfalls.

Aerial services will be focused on up to 40 outfall
locations along channels, assuming flights will be
conducted within city limits, as identified by the
City of Palm Desert. The UAS will be piloted by
an individual (Pilot) holding a valid Remote Pilot
Airman Certificate issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) in accordance with Title 14
of the Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) Part 107. Observations will be documented through digital video and photographs, then displayed in ArcGIS Pro. UAS services include:

CASC strives to provide our clients solutions to water quality challenges that are sensible, practical, and performed by experienced professionals. In addition to the services outlined in the Proposed Scope of Services, CASC can also provide additional NPDES related professional support services, as negotiated between CASC and the City. These services are not included in the Not to Exceed Annual Total Cost of the proposal. If these services are chosen, the optional service will be added to the cost estimate and the Not to Exceed Total Cost will be updated to include chosen optional services. Optional Services may include:

HIGH PRIORITY CONSTRUCTION SITES
Construction projects greater than 50 acres are classified as High Priority sites in the current WWR SWMP. High Priority sites require monthly inspections during the Wet season. The Wet Season is defined in the WWR SWMP as August 1 – October 1 and November 1 – May 1. Inspections will follow procedures outlined in Task 2 of the Scope.

DEVELOPMENT OF GIS WEB AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Casc has collaborated with several cities within the Santa Ana River Watershed, Los Angeles River Watershed, and Whitewater River Watershed to develop NPDES inspection modules using GIS technology. These modules support the creation of web-based and mobile applications for NPDES inspection programs, allowing for real-time tracking and significantly enhancing the workflow and efficiency of these programs. Casc’s experience in developing these types of apps can be used to assist the City to begin the development of a self certification system using GIS apps. Self certification web applications can be used for inspection programs, such as the HOA inspection program, allow homeowners/ businesses/ HOAs to annually report findings and maintenance of BMPs. This process can reduce the overall cost of inspections that the City currently incurs.

ADDITIONAL UAS IMAGERY SERVICES
Casc can provide additional UAS imagery services to include, but not limited to: 360 imagery, ground-level photos in safely accessible areas near project outfalls features where aerial imagery cannot penetrate through the tree canopy or other hazards exist.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 12, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT TO SUPERIOR PAVEMENT MARKINGS, INC., OF

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA, FOR THE HIGH VISABILITY CROSSWALKS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PROJECT NO. CTS00004)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Award a contract to Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., of Cypress, California, for the High Visibility Crosswalks Improvement Project in the amount of $158,732.50, plus a contingency of $20,000 for unforeseen conditions.

2. Authorize the City Attorney to make necessary nonmonetary changes to the contract.

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any other documents necessary to effectuate this action, in accordance with Section 3.30.170 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion (NOC) and the City Clerk to file the NOC upon satisfactory completion of the project.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The High Visibility Crosswalks Improvement Project (Project) aims to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility at key intersections in Palm Desert. The Project involves upgrading 13 existing crosswalks with high-visibility markings and improved signage to ensure pedestrians are more noticeable to drivers, especially in busy commercial areas. These intersections include:
 Highway 111 & Plaza Way  Fred Waring Drive & San Pascual Avenue  Highway 111 & Desert Crossing  Monterey Avenue & San Gorgonio Way  Highway 111 & San Pablo Avenue  Monterey Avenue & Dinah Shore Drive  Highway 111 & San Luis Rey Avenue  Cook Street & Aztec Road  Fred Waring Drive & Monterey Avenue  Cook Street & Merle Drive  Fred Waring Drive & Deep Canyon Road  El Paseo & San Luis Rey Avenue  Fred Waring Drive & Town Center Way
On October 15, 2024, the project was advertised for bids through the City’s bid management portal OpenGov (Project ID CTS00004) and on November 14, 2024, the City received the following five bids:

Contractor Location Total Bid
Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. Cypress, CA $158,732.50 Cal Stripe, Inc. Colton, CA $383,623.25
PCI Azusa, CA $434,345.25
Cat Tracking, Inc. Riverside, CA $475,985.00
Chrisp Company Anaheim, CA $527,606.25

City of Palm Desert
High Visibility Crosswalks Improvement Project

Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., (Contractor) submitted the lowest responsive bid. The bid has been reviewed and found to be in compliance with bid requirements. The references were contacted, and they confirmed the contractor has successfully completed projects of similar scope recently.

The Project was advertised with the expectation that contractors would evaluate and account for the appropriate quantities of materials and construction activities within the square footage outlined in the bid schedule. Most contractors based their bids on the actual unit of measurements of the crosswalks without calculating the actual paint quantities required for the work.

In contrast, the Contractor submitted the lowest bid by accurately verifying the square footage for the selected crosswalks and calculating the required quantities accordingly. It is also noteworthy that the Contractor would have remained the lowest bidder by approximately 15.29%, even if the actual quantities within the scope of work had been applied. Furthermore, the Contractor’s bid aligns more with the Engineer’s Estimate of $250,000, demonstrating a reasonable and accurate understanding of the project requirements as outlined in the bid advertisement.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The High Visibility Crosswalks Improvement Project is included on the approved Fiscal Year 2024- 25 CIP List under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Crosswalks, and it is fully reimbursable through State HSIP funds, requiring no local match for its implementation. A total of $1,904,014 has been allocated from Measure A Account No. 2134317-5000908; therefore, there is no financial impact to the General Fund.

The table below outlines the project’s funds and expenditures for FY 2024-25:

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for High Visibility Crosswalks Improvement Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated December 12, 2024, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of One Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, ($158,732.50), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law, or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
497
Contract No. ___________
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

CITY OF PALM DESERT

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 12, 2024
PREPARED BY: Austin Yaple, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 66000-66008

RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM

DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REVIEWING AND ACCEPTING THE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE DISCLOSURE REPORT FOR THE CITY’S VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

FEES AND MAKING FIVE-YEAR FINDINGS REGARDING THE CONTINUING NEED FOR UNEXPENDED BALANCES OF IMPACT FEES AS OF JUNE 30, 2024, PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

AB 1600 (Statutes of 1998, Mitigation Fee Act), codified as Section 66000 et seq. of the California Government Code (Code), regulates how public agencies collect, maintain, and spend impact fees imposed on developers for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities. It includes requirements for accounting, spending, and annually reporting the fees and related interest earnings, and for findings or refunds if fees remain unspent five or more years after receipt.

Section 66006(b)(1) includes specific reporting requirements for each separate account or fund established pursuant to the Code, and the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make certain information available to the public, for compliance. The attached resolution and report (Exhibit A to the resolution) prepared for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, provides the information required by the Code including the beginning and ending balances by fund as well as any changes during the year. The report also provides the amount of fees, interest, other income, expenditures, loans and proposed projects. Based on the findings, there were no required refunds made during the reported fiscal year.

The City Council must review the annual report and make findings at a publicly held meeting not less than fifteen days after the information is made available to the public. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s office and available for public review on November 25, 2024. A draft of the report was also provided to the local Desert Valleys Builders Association and Riverside BIA.

Legal Review:

This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact from filing the report and its findings. 555

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT,

CALIFORNIA, REVIEWING AND ACCEPTING THE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE DISCLOSURE REPORT FOR THE CITY’S VARIOUS

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES AND MAKING FIVE-YEAR FINDINGS

REGARDING THE CONTINUING NEED FOR UNEXPENDED BALANCES OF IMPACT FEES AS OF JUNE 30, 2024, PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66001
WHEREAS, Government Code Sections 66000 through 66008 (known as and referenced to herein as “AB1600”) regulate the imposition, collections, maintenance, expenditure and reporting of impact fees imposed on developers for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (“City”) has established, adopted, and imposed Housing Mitigation Fees, Child Care Facility Fees, New Construction Fees, Drainage Facility Fees, Park & Recreation Fees, Traffic Signalization Fees, and Fire Facility Fees (collectively the “Fees”); and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of AB1600, the City has set up separate special revenue funds for each type of Fee the City imposes (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), crediting earned interest to those Funds, and spending the accumulated Fees and related interest on appropriate expenditures; and
WHEREAS, the City has made available to the public within one hundred eighty (180) days following the last day of the fiscal year the annual development impact fee disclosure report (“Annual Report”) required by AB1600 related to each of the Fees which also includes the FiveYear Reports with respect to each of the Fees; and WHEREAS, the City has mailed notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to this meeting to all interested parties who have requested notice of any meeting relative to the City’s imposition of the Fees and has held a duly noticed, regularly scheduled public meeting at which oral and written testimony was received regarding the Annual Report and the Five-Year Reports at least fifteen (15) days after the City made this information publicly available; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to accept the Annual Report, including the Five-Year Reports and to make the necessary findings required by law, with respect to the unexpended Fees.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT RESOLVES, FINDS, DECLARES AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City finds that all of the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings and determinations by the City Council as if fully set forth herein.
557
Resolution No. 2024-_____

Section 2. In accordance with Government Code Section 66006(b), the City Council has reviewed and approves the Annual Report regarding each of the Fees, which is attached to this Resolution and is incorporated herein by this reference, and is also placed on file with the City Clerk. The City Council, based upon the information contained in the Annual Report and the remaining need for the unexpended Fees, finds as follows:
a. The Annual Report describes the types of Fees contained in each Fund, including the amount of the Fees, the beginning and ending balances of each Fund that has been established for each Fee, as well as the amount of Fees collected, and the interest earned thereon; and
b. The Annual Report identifies each public improvement on which the Fees were expended, the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the Fees; and c. Sufficient Fees have not been collected to complete the financing of the various incomplete public improvements; and
d. There have been no interfund transfers or loans made from any of the Funds; and
e. There have been no refunds made from the Funds.

Section 3. The City has identified Fees collected from developers that are subject to AB1600’s requirements. Those funds are:
 Housing Mitigation Fee (Fund 214)
 Child Care Facility Fee (Fund 228)
 New Construction Fee (Fund 231)
 Drainage Facility Fee (Fund 232)
 Park & Recreation Fee (Fund 233)
 Traffic Signalization Fee (Fund 234)
 Fire Facility Fee (Fund 235)
Section 4. In accordance with Government Code Section 66001(d), the City Council has reviewed the Five-Year Report sections included in the Annual Report for each of the Funds. The City Council finds, based on the information in the Five-Year Report sections, as follows:
a. Pursuant to Government Code Subsection 66001(d)(1)(A), the Five-Year Report identifies the purpose to which all unexpended Fees, whether committed or uncommitted, will be put; and
b. Pursuant to Government Code Subsection 66001(d)(1)(B), the Five-Year Report demonstrates, for each Fee, a reasonable relationship between the unexpended fees contained in each Fund and the purposes to which such Fees will be put; and c. Pursuant to Government Code Subsection 66001(d)(1)(C), the Five-Year Report identifies all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements or projects for each Fund; and
558
Resolution No. 2024-_____

d. Pursuant to Government Code Subsection 66001(d)(1)(D), the Five-Year Report identifies the approximate dates upon which the funding for such incomplete improvements or projects will be deposited into each Fund; and e. There remains unexpended Fees in each Fund which are still necessary to complete the purposes for which the Fees were collected.

Section 5. These findings are based on the information provided in the City’s Annual Report, the City’s annual operating budget, and the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to 2028-2029, which each are incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 6. Pursuant to these findings, and at this time, there shall not be a refund of any unexpended Fees.

Section 7. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.

Section 8. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its adoption.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at the regular meeting of the Palm Desert City Council held on this 12th day of December 2024, by the following vote, to wit:

Purpose of the Fee:

The Relationship Between the Fee and Purpose:

Sources, Amounts, and Dates of Funding Anticipated to Complete Financing:

For the FY 2024-25 fiscal year, the city has budgeted for contributions from the Housing Mitigation Fund to fund multiple affordable housing projects. Included in these projects are the Sands Apartments, the ARC Village Development, homes at 45653 Portola, the Portola Palms Mobile Home Park, and a collection of subsidies provided through the BEGIN program.

Additionally, in future years, the city intends to utilize these funds in a contribution to a 170-acre affordable housing development.

This fee is being collected for the purpose of subsidizing housing costs as part of the City's program to provide affordable housing for low and very low income households that have at least one employee working within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City.

Non-residential development within the City boundaries creates employment opportunities. The jobs created also create the need for additional residential development to locally house the employees that will fill these roles. Affordable housing is a known issue throughout the nation and the State of California. Therefore, new non-residential development pays a housing mitigation fee to help provide affordable housing to eligible low income families. 567

Purpose of the Fee:

The Relationship Between the Fee and Purpose:

The City's Five Year Capital Improvement Program Budget is attached as a reference to future projects using existing cash balances for FY 2024-2025 through 2028-2029
The Child Care Facility Fee provides new and increased child care facilities and centers in order to mitigate the increased demand for child care caused by non-residential development in the City. As non-residential development increases and jobs are created, the employees of the non-residential development create an increased need for local child care options in the City. The funds are used to construct new local facilities and equipment related to providing local and safe child care within the City.

This fee is being collected for the purpose of funding new child care homes and centers in order to meet growing demand for child care generated by employees and commercial uses within the city. It is envisioned that the City will partner with local child care providers and non-profits to provide funding to increase the supply of child care spaces in the City.

Non-residential development within the City boundaries creates employment opportunities. In order to attract and retain highly skilled workers and their families, the City must have a variety of quality and affordable child care options. The quality and affordability of child care is a known issue in the Coachella Valley, as desirable facilities have long wait lists and there are no corporate child care centers in the entire Coachella Valley. Therefore, new non-residential development pays a child care impact fee to help support the City's effort to provide local providers and non-profits with funds to help increase the supply of child care spaces in Palm Desert.

Section B – Child Care Facility Fee (Fund 228) - continued Sources, Amounts, and Dates of Funding Anticipated to Complete Financing:

The City is retaining developer fees currently held in the Child Care Facility Fund in anticipation of another request for funding by the end of 2025. The City is currently working with developers to rehabilitate the site previously known as the Wallaroo Childcare Center, and intends to utilize these funds for the project. 569

Section 29 & Gerald Ford Regional Detention Basin Drainage Fees 100% North Sphere Detention Basin Drainage Fees 100% July 2025 This fee is being collected for the purpose of ensuring developments within the city are properly connected to drainage and in compliance with the City's drainage master plan. The cost of drainage installation projects requires fund balances to be accumulated prior to implementing the capital budget and must also be timed with other improvements occurring around these capital projects.

To protect homes and businesses from potential flooding, the City has established a master drainage plan that is updated for new development. Additional non-residential development within the City boundaries creates employment opportunities, which in turn creates a need for additional housing and businesses in the City.

When new homes or businesses are created, the City must adjust its master drainage plan and add in new areas that may not have been a drainage concern in the past. Therefore, new non-residential development pays a drainage facility fee to support the additional drainage needs caused by added employment, housing and business.

Sources, Amounts, and Dates of Funding Anticipated to Complete Financing:

When new development occurs within the City boundaries, there becomes a need to support new homes and residents with additional park and recreational activities. Therefore, new residential developments must pay a Park & Recreation Fee, which may be used to create new areas for playgrounds, playfields, gardens, pedestrian or bicycle paths or areas of particular natural beauty, including canyons, hilltops and wooded areas to be developed in their natural state.

Funding sources for the North Sphere Community Park and the North Sphere Regional Sports Park are still being researched and determined while both parks are in the design phase. The current 5-year CIP anticipates the Community Park will cost approximately $10,150,000 and the Regional Park will cost approximately $30,000,000. The City expects to fully expend the accumulation of Park & Recreation Fees to supplement the completion of these parks.

This fee is being collected for the purpose of developing new parks or recreational facilities to serve the community. With the expansion of the North Sphere of the city over the last five years, funds are being accumulated to help support the building of both a North Palm Desert Community Park and a Regional Sports Park.

As development in the city expands, more people drive on City streets, which can lead to traffic congestion or necessitate changes in traffic signaling and patterns. As a result, developers are required to pay a traffic signalization fee. This fee is used to add new traffic signals or intersection projects to accomodate the increased traffic flow caused by development.

This fee is being collected for the purpose of the construction or reimbursement of intersection of signalization projects within the City. Funds have accumulated in this fund over the last five years in order to pay for projects of significant cost. The process for addition of a new traffic signal at Market Place Drive and Cook Street began in May 2023 and is expected to expend the majority of accumulated fund balance during FY 2024-25.

Five Year Findings
Purpose of the Fee:

Through impact fees for a new Fire Station and equipment, in order to meet some of the new commercial and residential development in the northern half of the City. The fee is calculated as follows: Commercial development rate is $0.22 per square foot, industrial/office rate is $0.20 per square foot, and residential development would be based on a $2,262 per acre depending on density of units built or $709 per single residence. Annually, the City will adopt a budget to use these funds to create new facilities and equipment.

This fee is being collected for the development of a new Fire Station and equipment in order to meet some of the new commercial and residential development in the North Sphere of the City. The North Sphere Fire Station is currently going through the study and design phase through March 2024, and is expected to go into construction in late 2026.

Sources, Amounts, and Dates of Funding Anticipated to Complete Financing:

Funding sources for the North Sphere Fire Station are still being explored while the project is in the study and design phase. It is expected that the existing accumulation of developer fees will be fully utilized upon station construction, along with other funding sources that have yet to be determined. The total cost of the fire station is currently approximately $18.6 million.

Residential and commercial development in the Northern Sphere of the city has necessitated the addition of a new fire station to support emergency response for the City. When additional development expands the population of an area or changes the distribution of the population, emergency responders must cover a wider variety of territory and responses. The addition of a new fire station allows for fast response times and adequate emergency coverage in all areas of the City.
