Council Agenda Summary
Date: January 10, 2023
Agenda Item: 6(a)
ORIGINATED BY: Eric Reinbold, Police Chief
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Philips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: SRO – MOU with Paradise Unified School District
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution No. 23-__, “A Resolution of The Town Council of The Town of Paradise Making Findings Concerning Executing an MOU with the Paradise Unified School District to Implement and Support a School Resource Officer Position.
Background:
In the past, the Paradise Police Department has had up to two School Resource Officers (SRO) assigned and partnered with the Paradise Unified School District to serve the schools within Paradise. It has been several years since the Department could assign staff to another SRO position. The Town is now at a point where staffing levels would allow a partnership with PUSD and the assignment of an SRO to our Paradise schools.
Staff believes assigning an SRO to the PUSD will be a significant benefit to the Community.
Some studies and local evaluations indicate that SROs can have a positive impact, resulting in reduced suspensions, arrests for assaults and weapons charges, disciplinary actions, serious school violence, and crime in the areas surrounding schools Analysis:
The Town will provide a quarterly invoice to the District within 60 days after the end of each quarter, and the final invoice will include the end-of-year report. The billing to the District shall be invoiced reflecting the total number of hours worked by the SRO for duties requested or required as overtime or straight-time assignments at the applicable rate. Any overtime must be pre-approved by the District in writing.
Financial Impact:
The Police Administration and PUSD Administration have agreed to split the SRO salary at 50% cost share and calculated at a “top step Officer salary and benefits.” The maximum amount billable to PUSD for the term of the Agreement is $67,750.00 excluding any overtime authorized by the District which will be billed at a 50% cost share. 33 12.21.22
11:05 A.M.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
PARADISE POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND
PARADISE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
This Agreement is made between Paradise Police Department, hereafter to be referred to as “Department”, and Paradise Unified School District, hereafter to be referred to as "School District." District is aware of the potential for violence on school campuses; the potential of drug and alcohol use by students, both on and off school campuses; and the challenges of social media, electronic communication, bullying, and truancy. Department and District recognize the need for a School Resource Officer (SRO) to be directly involved with the youth on the campuses of District’s schools.
The purpose of the SRO is to be a liaison between the staff, faculty, students, and parents of the students at District’s schools, to promote a safe environment where an orderly educational process can take place.
Now therefore, Department and District agree as follows:
1. Services and Independent Contractor. Department shall provide an SRO to perform the Services set forth in this Agreement, including Exhibit A. The SRO will be available to District every regular day school is in session. Department, in the performance of this Agreement, shall be and act as an independent contractor with the sole authority for controlling and directing the performance of the details of the Services, as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, District being interested only in the results obtained. Department understands and agrees that it/he/she and all of its/his/her employees shall not be considered officers, employees, agents, partners, or joint ventures of the District, and are not entitled to benefits of any kind or nature normally provided employees of the District and/or to which District's employees are normally entitled, including, but not limited to, State Unemployment Compensation or Worker's Compensation. Department shall assume full responsibility for payment of all federal, state, and local taxes with respect to Department’s employees. Department shall still be responsible for payment of all state and federal taxes.
2. Compensation. Department will provide a quarterly invoice to District within 60 days after the end of each quarter, and the final invoice will include the end-of-year report. The billing to District shall be invoiced reflecting the total number of hours worked by the SRO for duties requested or required as overtime or straight-time assignments at the applicable rate. Any overtime must be preapproved by the District in writing. The maximum amount billable to PUSD for the term of the Agreement is $67,750.00 excluding any overtime authorized by the District which will be billed at a 50% cost share.
3. Standard of Care. Department represents that the Department has the qualifications and ability to perform the Services in a professional manner, without the advice, control, or supervision of the District. Services shall only be performed by competent personnel under the supervision of and in the employment of Department. Department's services will be performed, findings obtained, reports and recommendations prepared in accordance with generally and currently accepted principles and practices of his/her profession for services to California school districts. 34 12.21.22
11:05 A.M.
4. Equipment and Materials. Department shall furnish, at its own expense, all tools, labor, materials, equipment, supplies, transportation services and any other items (collectively, "Equipment") necessary to complete the Services in a manner which is consistent with generally accepted standards of the profession for similar services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, District shall not be responsible for any damages to persons or property as a result of the use, misuse, or failure of any equipment used by Department, even if such Equipment is furnished, rented, or loaned to Department by District.
District will provide the SRO with office space and the necessary furniture to conduct interviews, write reports, etc.; and prepare a work schedule for the SRO that is agreeable to Department.
The schedule may be modified with agreement by both Department and District.
5. Confidentiality. Department shall maintain the confidentiality of all information received in the course of performing the Services. This requirement to maintain confidentiality shall extend beyond the termination of this Agreement.

Written notice shall contain the reasons for such intention to terminate and unless within three (3) calendar days after that notice the condition or violation shall cease, or satisfactory arrangements for the correction thereof be made, this Agreement shall upon the expiration of the three (3) calendar days cease and terminate. In the event of termination by either Party, the District may secure the required services from another Department.
7.2. Reduction in Funding. If either Party has an unforeseen reduction in funding, that Party may, at any time, with or without reason, terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days written notice. Department shall only be compensated for services satisfactorily rendered to the date of termination.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: January 10, 2023
Agenda Item: 6(c)
ORIGINATED BY: Jessica Erdahl, Sr. Capital Projects Manager REVIEWED BY: Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Award Construction Contract – On-System Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Phase 2)
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes, Tier 1, Evacuation Routes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider adopting Resolution No.23- , A resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Awarding Contract No. 7303.2.CON, On-System Roadway Rehabilitation –Pearson (Phase 2) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
2. Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement with Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid plus additive bid #1 relating to Contract No. 7303.2.CON and to approve contingency expenditures not exceeding 10%.
Background:
Due to the ongoing recovery effort and debris removal operations within the Town and Butte County, the Town’s on-system roadway infrastructure sustained heavy damage in the wake of the Camp Fire. The pavement structural sections were damaged in two ways:
1. Pavement Scarring due to Vehicular Fires – On the day of the Camp Fire, several motorists were required to abandon their vehicles and continue evacuating on foot. The subsequent car fires damaged the pavement, justifying the need for repair.
2. Pavement Structural Section Damage due to Heavy Truck Traffic – Following the Camp Fire, the Town has experienced a staggering level of truck traffic. During the CALOES Debris Removal effort, over 3.7 million tons of material was removed, equivalent to approximately 300,000 truckloads. During that same period, PG&E, Comcast, and AT&T have restored the distribution infrastructure. PG&E has already removed over 92,000 trees, and an additional 100,000 trees are estimated for removal in 2020. The volume of trucks using the Town’s on-system roads has resulted in damage to the pavement structural section, justifying the need for rehabilitation.
The Town coordinated with Caltrans and Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to secure Emergency Relief permanent restoration funding to repair damaged on-system roads town wide.
Through the Emergency Relief Program, the Town of Paradise has been approved for $55,439,200 for the on-system road rehabilitation project. The approved project is located on Federal-Aid “On-System” roads – meaning the Town’s primary collectors and arterials such as Skyway, Clark, Pearson, Elliott, Bille, Wagstaff, and Pentz Roads, etc.
On November 10, 2020, Paradise Town Council awarded master on-call contracts to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, GHD, Inc., Wood Rodgers, Inc. and Dewberry Drake Haglan to 39 perform on-call professional civil engineering services for a variety of local, state, and federally funded projects. Subsequently, in January 2021, task orders were issued to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, and Wood Rodgers, Inc. to perform civil design services on the on-system road rehabilitation project. The overall scope of work for the Project can be summarized as follows:
Repair Camp Fire damaged on-system roads to achieve a pre-fire condition.
Road rehabilitation projects will be identified based on utility undergrounding completion. As segments of utilities are nearing completion, the Town of Paradise will identify and bid specific segments of roadways as individual projects. The goal of this approach is to maximize efficiency, partnership and remain good stewards of precious public funds and community impacts by reducing excavations into recently rehabilitated roadways.
On June 14, 2022 Paradise Town Council awarded Contract No. 7303.1.CON, 2022 On-System Roadway Rehabilitation –Skyway (Project 1) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid plus additive bid #1 $5,069,864.78. This first contract is nearing full completion and closeout.
On March 8, 2022 Paradise Town Council adopted a resolution approving the Plans & Specifications for the On-System Roadway Rehabilitation project. Council further directed staff to advertise for bids on the Phase 1 Project – Skway: Crossroads to north of Center Street.
A vicinity map of the Pearson (Phase 2) project limits is provided in this Agenda Summary.
Analysis:
On December 14, 2022, 4 bids were received by the Town Clerk and publicly opened. A list of bids received are shown in the table below:
Bid No. Item Description Base Bid Amount
X Engineer's Estimate $ 7,367,260.26
1 Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife
River Construction $ 5,339,517.50
2 DeSilva Gates Construction, LLC $ 6,099,099.00
3 Teichert Construction $ 6,311,000.00
4 Lamon Construction Co, Inc. $ 7,064,910.70
Per the contract specifications, the award of the contract, if it be awarded, will be to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder based upon the base bid whose bid complies with all the requirements prescribed.
Staff is recommending award of Contract No.7303.1, On-System Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Phase 2) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid, $5,339,517.50. This recommendation is made after careful review of the Contractor’s bid submittals including required Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Commitment, DBE Good Faith efforts and subcontractor listings. It shall be noted that the 40 contractor inadvertently omitted Exhibit 12-B Part 2 with their DBE Good Faith Effort Documentation. This form, which identifies Subcontractors who provided quotations to the Contractor, but were not used on the bid. This form was provided the Town immediately after being identified as missing from the follow-up package submission. This inadvertent omission is minor and is not reflective of the Contractor’s responsiveness nor responsibility to proceed with the bid.
Financial Impact:
FHWA Emergency Relief funds have been authorized as Advance Construction (AC) for the construction and construction engineering phases. Advance Construction is a project authorization technique that allows FHWA to authorize a project phase without obligating Federal funds. Projects authorized under Advance Construction procedures will not receive federal reimbursement until Federal funds become available and are obligated on a subsequent sequence. Further, utility adjustments are a non-participating cost to be reimbursed per executed utility agreements with Paradise Irrigation District and AT&T. The Town will use local funds to perform the construction and construction engineering phases for future federal and utility reimbursement. Emergency Relief AC funding is typically obligated as federal funds within 6 months following federal authorization to proceed.
The total estimated construction and construction engineering cost for the project is $5,789,875.50.
