EXECUTE A SURETY BOND TO MEET FINANCIAL

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR PICO RIVERA

INNOVATIVE MUNICIPAL ENERGY (PRIME)
Recommendation:

Fiscal Impact:

There is no impact to the General Fund. The Surety Bond will be paid for by PRIME funds (Fund No. 560) for a not-to-exceed amount of $125,000 over a five-year (5-year) term, or $25,000 annually. There are sufficient appropriations available in the fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 Budget, PRIME account (560.16.1600-54705); future appropriations will be budgeted accordingly in subsequent fiscal years.

Alignment with Council Goals
The proposed action meets the City’s Strategic Plan goal of “Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability.” The FSR is a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requirement for all Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs.

Background:

On January 24, 2017, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1105, establishing the Pico Rivera CCA program, PRIME. On September 1, 2017, PRIME became the state’s ninth operational (CCA) program, launching all residential, municipal, and commercial accounts by May 2018. Since its launch, the program maintains a 94% participation rate and vast support from the local and surrounding communities. 3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

TO MEET FINANCIAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR PICO RIVERA INNOVATIVE

MUNICIPAL ENERGY (PRIME)

Page 2 of 3 ends

PRIME’s mission is to provide the benefits of clean, renewable energy, promote power alternatives, and develop a strategic procurement portfolio that provides the City with the versatility to implement critical and innovative initiatives required to achieve a more sustainable Pico Rivera. PRIME’s vision goes beyond providing energy discounts; it achieves greater local control over electrical services, promotes competitively priced renewable energy options, and provides quality programs and services to customers to create sustainable, innovative approaches to modern living.

Discussion:

In 2018, the CPUC issued Decision 18-05-022 (Decision), establishing reentry fees and Financial Security Requirements (FSR) for CCAs. The FSR requires CCAs (i.e., PRIME) to cover reentry fees established by the Investor Owned Utility (IOU) (i.e., Southern California Edison) in the event of a mass involuntary return of CCA customers to the IOU, such as a decertification of a CCA or a CCA failure. The IOU may only withhold funds from the financial security instrument for unpaid administrative or procurement costs associated with the return of CCA customers to the IOU. However, any withholding of those funds must first be approved by the CPUC.

The Decision required all CCAs, including PRIME, to submit an Advice Letter to the CPUC by December 8, 2020, to show compliance. California Choice Energy Authority (CalChoice), PRIME’s administrative and regulatory compliance consultant, worked with its legal team to draft the Advice Letter, which was submitted with a copy of an executed Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit, valued at $147,000, is an instrument used to satisfy the FSR obligation and the Decision. The FSR amount has been $147,000 since the initial posting of the Letter of Credit in 2020 and has not increased. The Letter of Credit– issued by River City Bank (RCB)–is collateralized by a cash deposit of $147,000 held in an account with RCB in the City’s name.

The CPUC is currently reviewing the methodology used to calculate the FSR amount for CCAs to ensure that IOUs do not unreasonably bear costs associated with the mass involuntary return of CCA customers to the IOU. Staff anticipates that the CPUC will modify the methodology to calculate the FSR amount, resulting in an increase in the FSR amount. For this reason, staff proposes replacing the current Letter of Credit of $147,000 with a surety bond. The Surety Bond is more flexible–in terms of complying with the unpredictability of the required FSR amount–and has an approximate 1% annual fee. For example, if the CPUC’s FSR calculation determined that CCAs must cover an FSR amount of $2,000,000, PRIME would pay a Surety Bond of $20,000 rather than secure a multimillion-dollar Letter of Credit. The Surety Bond would comply with the CPUCs order to cover the cost associated with an involuntary mass return of PRIME customers to SCE, or FSR, up to $2,500,000.

The FSR methodology calculation includes energy pricing, which can fluctuate depending CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

on market conditions. For this reason, staff is requesting a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 annually, which contemplates future volatility in the energy market.

Conclusion
Based on the previously mentioned, staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a surety bond and related documents for the purpose of satisfying the Financial Security Requirement as required by the California Public Utilities Commission.

5. Reinstatement of Bond. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, including but not limited to Section 6 hereof, this Bond and the obligations of Surety hereunder shall be reinstated if, at any time following (a) the termination of this Bond by its terms, or (b) the payment by Surety of the Maximum Bond Amount, any payment made by Surety to Obligee pursuant to a Demand Notice under this Bond is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Obligee or other person as a preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise, or as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of Principal, Surety, or otherwise, and such reinstatement Enclosure 2
3b

(b) Subject to Section 5 hereof, the obligation of the Surety to make payments pursuant to this Bond shall terminate automatically and without further notice or action upon the delivery of any payment to the Obligee pursuant to a Demand Notice which, when aggregated with all prior payments to the Obligee pursuant to a Demand Notice, equals or exceeds the Maximum Bond Amount and, if applicable, any additional amounts due to Obligee in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

436 Walnut Street, 10th Floor
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107
General Agreement of Indemnity
This General Agreement of Indemnity (this "Agreement") is made and entered into by the undersigned (individually and collectively, the “INDEMNITORS”) for the benefit of Federal Insurance Company and Westchester Fire Insurance Company, their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries, parent companies, and affiliates, whether in existence now or formed or acquired hereafter, co-sureties, fronting companies, companies which any of them may procure to issue or deliver any Bonds for, on behalf of or at the request of any of the Indemnitors, and reinsurers, and the successors and assigns of each of them (individually and collectively, the “SURETY”), for the purpose of indemnifying the SURETY from any and all loss, cost and expense in connection with any and all surety bonds, undertakings, guarantees and/or contractual obligations previously or hereafter executed, issued, procured, delivered or undertaken by the Surety, whether directly or as a result of any asset purchase, merger, acquisition or similar transaction, including any renewals, modifications and/or extensions thereof, for, on behalf of or at the request of: any of the Indemnitors, whether individually or jointly with others; any current or hereafter created or acquired subsidiary, affiliate, joint venture and/or other legal entity in which any of the INDEMNITORS has a substantial, material or beneficial interest; and/or any other party at the request of any of the INDEMNITORS (each a "Bond" and collectively "Bonds").

The INDEMNITORS expressly waive any right to interest which may be earned on the collateral security and further consents that the collateral security provided in consideration of suretyship may be held by the SURETY in any investment or depository that the SURETY in its sole discretion deems advisable and prudent. The Surety’s election not to demand collateral now or at any time shall not operate as a waiver of the right to demand and receive such collateral at any time before liability has terminated under any Bond.

2. INDEMNITY & COLLATERAL FOR CLAIM- The INDEMNITORS shall indemnify and save harmless the SURETY from and against any and all liability, claim, demand, loss, damages, expense, cost, attorney’s fees and expenses, including without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the SURETY in any action or proceeding between the INDEMNITORS and the SURETY, or between the SURETY and any third party, which SURETY shall at any time incur by reason of its execution of any Bond or its payment of or its liability to pay any claim, irrespective of whether the claim is made against the SURETY as a joint or several obligor and whether the INDEMNITORS are then liable to make such payment, and to place the SURETY in funds to meet all of its liability under any Bond, promptly upon request and before the SURETY may be required to make any payment thereunder; and copy of the claim, demand, voucher or other evidence of the payment by the SURETY of any liability, claim, demand, loss, damage, expense, cost and attorney’s fees, shall be prima facie evidence of the fact and amount of INDEMNITORS’ liability to the SURETY under this Agreement. Any demand upon the SURETY by the Obligee shall be sufficient to conclude that a liability exists and the INDEMNITORS shall then place the SURETY with sufficient funds in a form and amount deemed acceptable in the SURETY’S sole discretion, as collateral security to cover the liability.

3. OTHER INDEMNITY -- The INDEMNITORS shall continue to remain bound under the terms of this Agreement even though the SURETY may have heretofore or hereafter, with or without notice to or knowledge of the INDEMNITORS, accepted or released other agreements of indemnity or collateral in connection with the execution or procurement of said Bonds, from the INDEMNITORS or others.

4. INVALIDITY- In case any of the INDEMNITORS fail to execute this Agreement, or in case the execution hereof by any of the INDEMNITORS be defective or invalid for any reason, such failure, defect or invalidity shall not in any manner affect the validity of this Agreement or the liability hereunder of any of the INDEMNITORS executing the same, but each and every INDEMNITOR so executing shall be and remain full bound and liable hereunder to the same extent as if such failure, defect or invalidity had not existed.

7. CHANGES, WAIVER OF NOTICE - The INDEMNITORS hereby waive notice of changes to the Bonds or the obligations covered by the Bonds , and agrees that any such changes will not affect INDEMNITORS’ obligations under the terms of this Agreement. Such changes may include but are not limited to continuations, extensions or renewals of the Bonds, the execution of any substitute or substitutes therefore, with the same or different conditions, provisions and obligees with the same or larger or smaller penalties; it being expressly understood and agreed that the INDEMNITOR shall remain bound under the terms of this Agreement even though any such change does or might substantially increase the liability of the INDEMNITORS.

8. TERMINATION - This Agreement may be terminated by any of the INDEMNITORS upon twenty days’ written notice sent by registered mail to the SURETY at its home office at Chubb Surety, WA10G, 436 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106-3703, but any such notice of termination shall not operate to modify, bar or discharge the INDEMNITOR as to the Bonds that may have been executed before the date on which such termination notice becomes effective.

9. SEVERABILITY - If any provision or provisions of this Agreement be declared void or unenforceable under any law governing its construction or enforcement, this Agreement shall not be void or vitiated thereby, but shall be construed and enforced with the same effect as though such provision or provisions were omitted.

LOS ANGELES LOCAL AREA FORMATION COMMISSION

FOR THE FORMATION OF THE LOWER SAN GABRIEL
RIVER RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT (SB 268)
Recommendation:

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute, all documents required to submit, process, and implement said application in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and

Fiscal Impact:

The LAFCO application fee is expected to be approximately $9,000, which is included in the FY 2022-23 General Fund appropriations. No additional funds are needed at this time.

Background:

In October of 2017, California Senate Bill (SB) 693, sponsored by former Senator Tony Mendoza, was signed into law authorizing a local agency to initiate the formation of the Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Parks District (SGR District) with a deadline of January 1, 2020, which has since then expired. Subsequently, California Senate Bill (SB) 268 was introduced by Senator Archuleta and signed into law in October of 2021, extending the formation deadline to January 1, 2024.

As sponsors of SB 268, the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles River and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) is a critical partner providing direct administrative support, aiding with outreach and engagement to local cities and jurisdictional authorities, and offering technical 4 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

assistance. The RMC was created by the California State Legislature in 1999 with a mission to preserve open space and habitat in order to provide for low-impact recreation and educational uses, wildlife habitat restoration and protection, and watershed improvements within our jurisdiction.

Discussion:

The 2016 Los Angeles County Parks Needs Assessment determined that the City of Pico Rivera has only 1.3 acres of parks and open space for every 1,000 residents, which is far below the Los Angeles County average of 3.3 acres and the national average of approximately 6 acres. In 2020, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) informed the City of Pico Rivera that the Whittier Narrow Dam Safety Modification Project (WND Project) would result in permanent impacts to Streamland Park (14-acres), the Pico Rivera Golf Course (30-acres), and Bicentennial Park (60-acres). Pico Rivera is estimated to lose approximately 104-acres, or 57% of its total parks land within the city. The WND Project will also permanently eliminate Avenida Vicente Fernandez (formerly known as Sports Arena Drive), the primary access road to the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, which will have a devastating effect on economic activity in the region associated with large-scale entertainment events.

Based on these realities, the City of Pico Rivera developed a comprehensive framework to prioritize and aggressively expand access to parks, open space, trails, and recreational opportunities while simultaneously stimulating economic development along the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo. SB 268 is a critical component to help achieve that goal.

As a result, Senator Bob Archuleta identified the City of Pico Rivera as the most suitable agency to lead the establishment of the SGR District.

The Lower San Gabriel River is largely defined by the Whittier Narrows Dam on the north and the Pacific Ocean in the City of Long Beach to the south. According to the CalEnviroScreen 4.0, many census tracts along the river are categorized as “disadvantaged communities” due to disproportionate exposure to poor air quality resulting from congested freeways such as the I-605, I-5, SR-91, and the I-405. The San Gabriel River also features a Class-I bike path that connects to numerous points of interest thereby serving as a backbone to the regional active transportation network in Los Angeles County.

Beyond its primary purpose as a flood protection and control channel, the Lower San Gabriel River offers an opportunity to introduce new parks and recreation space, revitalize natural habitats, promote new economic activity, and enhance the micro-mobility system.

Funding to enhance existing parks or to build new parks is typically made available through competitive grant programs at all levels of government. However, identifying a steady stream of resources to maintain and operate those parks in perpetuity is often the most pressing challenge. For example, the State Water Bond (Proposition 1) provides funding for the revitalization of the Lower Los Angeles River watershed, including a $30 million CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

APPROVE RESOLUTION INITIATING APPLICATION TO THE LOS ANGELES LOCAL

AREA FORMATION COMMISSION FOR THE FORMATION OF THE LOWER SAN GABRIEL RIVER RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT (SB 268)

direct allocation to the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, and a share of $100 million for urban creek restoration. These funds are strictly reserved for acquisition and development of facilities and cannot be used for operations or maintenance. Hence, the need to establish a long-term, unified funding strategy that benefits all cities throughout the San Gabriel River corridor.

SB 268 authorizes Los Angeles County cities along the Lower San Gabriel River to form a multi-jurisdictional Special Assessment District to:

1. Promote the development of open space and parks along the Lower San Gabriel River.

2. Identify funding and resources to promote the revitalization of the Lower San Gabriel River and open spaces along the river for the benefit and enjoyment of local communities.

3. Acquire, construct, improve, maintain, and operate parks and open space along the Lower San Gabriel River.

Furthermore, SB 268 specifies that the initial board of directors shall consist of no more than 15 members, as follows:

An appointee from each City Council:
• City of Downey
• City of Whittier
• City of Pico Rivera
• City of Norwalk
• City of Santa Fe Springs
• City of Artesia
• City of Bellflower
• City of Cerritos
• City of Lakewood
• City of Hawaiian Gardens
• City of Long Beach
• 2 public members appointed by the
LA County Board of Supervisors.

Members must reside in the Lower
San Gabriel River region.
• The executive officer of the RMC
• The initial board may appoint 1 public
member residing and representing a
non-profit organization that serves
the Lower San Gabriel River region;
specializes in open space public
education and outdoor activities.

To ensure due diligence while striving to gain overarching consensus, Pico Rivera in partnership with the RMC (Project Team) have been actively engaging and informing local city managers, public works directors, and parks directors along the Lower San Gabriel River about the overall background, intent and purpose, and next steps associated with SB 268.

Although each city is generally supportive, staff has prepared the following summary of comments and responses received during the initial round of stakeholder outreach:

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution (Enclosure 1) initiating the application process with LAFCO for the formation of the Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Park District with the City of Pico Rivera as lead applicant in partnership with the RMC.

Enclosures: 1) Resolution
2) Senate Bill 268 – Final Bill Text
3) Lower San Gabriel River Parks District – Initial Map # Comment/Sentiment Response
1 Desire to develop a united vision, mission, and
goals. The formation process will require a robust public and stakeholder outreach effort to guide the
development of a vision, mission, and goals for the
2 district. Desire for additional outreach, especially with City Councils and appropriate City Commissions.
3 Concerns about further marginalizing property tax
local returns. All entities, including Pico Rivera, are aligned with these concerns and prefer to explore tax increment
financing, grants, riverfront development
4 agreements, and other creative funding strategies. Concerns about any new tax assessments of any kind.
5 Concerns about duplicative goals and objectives
with the RMC.

Although the goals are very similar, the RMC does
not implement, maintain, or operate parks. As an
extension of local jurisdictional authority, the district can facilitate and/or support park implementation,
maintenance, and operations.
6 Concerns with including municipalities that are not
in direct proximity to the San Gabriel River, may
not see benefit.

The goal of establishing the district is not only to
revitalize the riverfront areas, but also to extend
access and connectivity to the river and regional
bike path.

An act to amend Sections 5795.10, 5796, 5796.10, and 5796.20 of the Public Resources Code, relating to parks and recreation. [Approved by Governor October 9, 2021. Filed with Secretary of State October 9, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 268, Archuleta. Parks and recreation: Lower Los Angeles River Recreation and Park District: Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Park District: establishment: board of directors.
(1) Existing law authorizes the establishment of the Lower Los Angeles River Recreation and Park District by petition or resolution submitted to the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission before January 1, 2021. Existing law authorizes 10 specified city councils to each appoint one member, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to appoint 2 members, to serve at the pleasure of the appointing entity on the initial board of directors of the district. Existing law authorizes the city councils of the Cities of Commerce, Downey, Montebello, and Pico Rivera to jointly appoint one member to serve a 2-year term on the initial board of directors of the district.

This bill would authorize the city councils of the Cities of Commerce, Downey, Montebello, and Pico Rivera to each appoint one member to serve at the pleasure of the appointing city council on the initial board of directors of the district, rather than to jointly appoint one member to serve a 2-year term. The bill would authorize the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to appoint 3 members, rather than 2 members, to serve on the initial board of directors of the district.
(2) Existing law authorizes the establishment of the Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Park District by petition or resolution submitted to the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission before January 1, 2020. Existing law authorizes specified city councils, including the city council of the City of Montebello, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to appoint members to serve on the initial board of directors of the district. Under existing law, a violation of any rule, regulation, or ordinance adopted by the board of directors of a recreation and park district is a crime.

This bill would extend the deadline to submit the petition or resolution establishing the district from January 1, 2020, to January 1, 2024. The bill would remove the authorization for the city council of the City of Montebello to appoint a member to the district’s initial board of directors and would authorize the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to appoint one

96 additional public member to the initial board of directors. The bill would also make various nonsubstantive changes.

Because a violation of a rule, regulation, or ordinance adopted by the board of directors of the district would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by extending the deadline by which the district may be established.
(3) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Lower Los Angeles River Recreation and Park District and the Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Park District.
(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 5795.10 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:
5795.10. Notwithstanding Article 4 (commencing with Section 5783), the initial board of directors of the district shall consist of no more than 17 members, as follows:

SEC. 2. Section 5796 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:
96 Ch. 761 — 2 —
5796. (a) The Lower San Gabriel River Recreation and Park District may be established subject to this chapter and the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Division 3 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 5 of the Government Code). (b) A petition or resolution to establish the district pursuant to this article and Article 3 (commencing with Section 5782) shall not be submitted to the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission on or after January 1, 2024.

SEC. 3. Section 5796.10 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:
5796.10. Notwithstanding Article 4 (commencing with Section 5783), the initial board of directors of the district shall consist of no more than 15 members, as follows:
(a)  The city council of each of the following cities may appoint one representative:
(1)  The City of Downey.
(2)  The City of Whittier.
(3)  The City of Pico Rivera.
(4)  The City of Norwalk.
(5)  The City of Santa Fe Springs.
(6)  The City of Artesia.

(9)  The City of Lakewood.

(d)  The other members of the initial board of directors may appoint one public member. This member both shall be a representative of a nonprofit organization that serves the Lower San Gabriel River region and specializes in open space public education, and outdoor activities, and shall reside in the Lower San Gabriel River region.
(e)  A person appointed to the board of directors pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) shall serve at the pleasure of the city council or county board of supervisors that made the appointment.

SEC. 4. Section 5796.20 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:
5796.20. (a)  In addition to the powers enumerated in Article 7 (commencing with Section 5786), which shall be subject to review and approval by the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission upon formation, change of organization, or reorganization under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 96 — 3 — Ch. 761
(Division 3 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 5 of the Government Code), and to the financing authority provided by Article 9 (commencing with Section 5788), Article 10 (commencing with Section 5789), and Article 11 (commencing with Section 5790), the district shall do all of the following:
(1)  Promote the development of open space and parks along the Lower San Gabriel River.
(2)  Identify funding and resources to promote the revitalization of the Lower San Gabriel River and open spaces along the river for the benefit and enjoyment of local communities.
(3)  Acquire, construct, improve, maintain, and operate parks and open space along the Lower San Gabriel River.
(b)  The district shall conduct the activities specified in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (a) in coordination with the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy established pursuant to Division 22.8 (commencing with Section 32600), which has certain responsibilities regarding the Lower San Gabriel River.

SEC. 5. The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the urgent need for local park space along the Lower Los Angeles River and the Lower San Gabriel River, and the communities through which these rivers pass.

SEC. 6. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

BETWEEN THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA AND SERVICE
EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION LOCAL 721 -

DIRECTORS UNIT MEMBERS FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM,
JULY 1, 2021 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2024
Recommendation:

Fiscal Impact:

The "Discussion" section of this agenda report lists all of the negotiated items updated in the successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) should the City Council approve it.

Some of the negotiated items have associated costs. Those items having a direct fiscal impact to the City during the term of the MOU are described more fully below. The total estimated three-year cost of this package is $962,986.

Salaries (Article 6)
The updated MOU includes annual cost of living adjustments (COLA) of 4%, 3% and 3%, which would be effective for the first full pay period commencing on or after July 1 of 2021, 2022 and 2023. The estimated three-year cost of this 10% salary increase would be approximately $721,849. This amount represents the fully burdened cost, including salaries and the associated additional employer PERS costs.

During the good faith collective bargaining period, SEIU Local 721 Full-time Unit and MidManagers and Professional & Confidential Employees Association agreed to the City conducting a salary study for certain classifications for which the City experienced a recruitment or retention problem. Per the terms of the agreement, “classifications that are found to be below market and that have a recruitment and retention deficiency will be eligible for market increases that will not trigger across-the-board ‘me too’ language”. 5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

For the Directors Unit, the results showed that for these executive-level positions, current salaries were not in line with our neighboring cities, which made it difficult for us to compete for executive talent with surrounding cities that had both higher salaries and, in some cases, greater benefit packages. Staff determined adjustments were needed to be made to the salary schedule for these executive level positions to be competitive with the average salary for the region. At the September 13, 2022, City Council meeting, City Council approved these salaries.

Salary Increases (Article 6)
Article 1 of the Service Employees International Union – Directors Unit (SEIU Directors) MOU provides that “should any recognized Pico Rivera City (City) bargaining unit reach a signed agreement that results in a higher benefit than provided to members of the Pico Rivera Director’s bargaining unit, the City agrees to adjust the specified benefit to an equivalent amount”.

As part of the March 28th Regular City Council Meeting Agenda, staff recommend City Council’s vote on the Successor MOU’s, which include salary increases as follows:

A salary increase of four percent (4%) retroactive to the period of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

A salary increase of three percent (3%) retroactive to July 1, 2022 and continuing through June 30, 2023.

A salary increase of three percent (3%) for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

Effective the first full pay period following City Council Adoption of this MOU, employees within this bargaining unit hired on or before July 1, 2021 shall receive a one-time, nonpensionable, incentive bonus in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000).

The SEIU Directors Unit’s salaries also need to be adjusted based on the study. The total amount of these salary increases for the three years noted above total $721,849. The Salary Schedules (Appendix B) include the revised salaries. The one-time bonus totals $6,000.

PERS Cost Sharing
a. Tier I members are responsible for paying the full amount of the employee share, equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total “normal cost” as determined by CalPERS annual CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

Page 3 of 6 ends

valuation reports up to an 8% contribution rate upon ratification of this agreement. For the existing two members in this category, the estimated annual savings is $12,000. b. Tier II members are responsible for paying the full amount of the employee share, equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total “normal cost” as determined by CalPERS annual valuation reports up to an 8% contribution rate.

Dental Benefits (Article 12)
The current dental coverage is proposed to be expanded to include a dental plan that covers adult orthodontia and has a benefits cap greater than $1,500 per year. It is estimated that the net fiscal impact of those adjustments totals $1,100 for the three-year period of this agreement.

Medical Opt Out Pay (Article 12)
The current "opt out pay" amount of 80% remains in place for current employees.

However, new incoming employees will receive an “opt-out” amount set at an initial the greater of $200 per month, or the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) minimum each year (currently $151/month). While the amount cannot be estimated, staff proposed this modification to reduce future health care costs.

Administrative Leave (Article 13)
The previous MOU allowed the rollover of 20 hours of Administrative Leave into each new fiscal year allowing for a total of 100 hours of accumulated administrative leave. The current MOU allows for the rollover of 40 hours of Administrative Leave. A total of 120 hours of administrative leave may be accumulated. Administrative Leave cannot be “cashed out”. This change does not increase the leaves granted, therefore, does not have any anticipated fiscal impact.

Health and Wellness Benefit (Article 10)
The City agrees to reimburse each member of the Directors Unit up to $750 per fiscal year for health and wellness and preventative care purposes. It is estimated that the net fiscal impact of this cost totals $16,500 for the three-year period of this agreement.

Deferred Compensation (Article 10)
This benefit is designed to help employees put away additional savings for retirement, by utilizing the 457 programs (deferred compensation) offered by the City. By providing a matching amount of up to 1% of the employee’s base salary, more employees will participate in the 457 programs and begin saving for retirement, thus improving their longterm personal financial standing. It is estimated that the net fiscal impact of those adjustments totals $60,384 for the three-year period of this agreement.

Tuition Reimbursement (Article 24)
The proposal would not have a fiscal impact. However, tuition advancement would no longer be permitted.

Vacation (Article 13)
In order to be in line with the rest of the bargaining unit’s accrual schedules, the Directors’ Unit members will be allowed to accrue up to 208 hours of vacation, up from 168 hours, in a year if the member has 15 or more years of public service. It is estimated that the net fiscal impact of this change totals $116,123 for the three-year period of this agreement.

Holidays (Article 13)
The City recognizes that on June 19, 2021, President Biden signed Juneteenth as a national holiday. The proposed MOU includes adding this day as a City-recognized holiday with an estimated three-year fiscal impact of $29,031.

The total estimated three-year cost of this package is $962,986 and includes the items discussed in this report.

Discussion:

Management began meeting with the Directors represented by Service Employees International Union Local 721 – Directors Unit in June 2021 in order to discuss a successor MOU to the current one which expired on June 30, 2020, and was extended by Side Letter Agreement #3. Management, the SEIU Directors and their SEIU representatives met to negotiate new MOU terms. Negotiations were successful and both sides agreed to several updates to the MOU.

Management conferred with the City Council in closed session on February 28, 2023, throughout the negotiations process (as evidenced in City Minutes) to discuss the negotiations, provide costing estimates, and solicit feedback from the City Council.

Direction was provided to management concerning the various negotiated items.

The list of new terms agreed upon between management and the SEIU Director group for the subsequent MOU are listed below:

1. Term - 3 Years (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024)
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023

Page 5 of 6 ends

2. Salaries - Cost of Living Adjustment ("COLA") and Salary Study a. 4% COLA and increase based on salary study effective first full pay period in July 2021.
b. 3% COLA effective first full pay period in July 2022. c. 3% COLA effective first full pay period in July 2023. d. Employees within this bargaining unit hired on or before July 1, 2021 shall receive a one-time, non-pensionable, incentive bonus in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000).

3. PERS Cost Sharing - Establish Employee Share Limits
Tier I members are responsible for paying the full amount of the employee share, equal to fifty percent (50%). For the existing two members in this category, the estimated annual savings is $12,000.

4. Medical and Dental Coverage
a. Modify the medical “cash-out” amount to the higher of $200/month or the PEMHCA minimum (currently $151) for all new employees.
b. Add a plan that increases medical plans for adult orthodontia to the City’s dental offerings.
c. $750 per fiscal year for health and wellness and preventative care.

5. Deferred Compensation
a. The City shall make a matching contribution of up to 1% of base salaries per member, per calendar year that is enrolled in the City’s 457 Deferred Compensation Program and who is making contributions.

6. Tuition Reimbursement – Tuition advancement will no longer be permitted.

Conclusion:

As discussed in the "Fiscal Impact" section above, some of these negotiated items have direct cost implications, while others do not. Furthermore, some of the negotiated items' ultimate cost will depend on participation (i.e., Deferred Compensation or Educational Reimbursement).

To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: CITYWIDE RESURFACING - SLURRY AND CAPE SEAL,
CIP NO. 50067 – AWARD OF CONTRACT
Recommendation:

1. Approve the plans and specifications for Citywide Resurfacing – Slurry and Cape Seal, CIP No. 50067 (Project);

2. Award a construction contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,016,025 to All American Asphalt for the Project and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract (Enclosure 1) in a form approved by the City Attorney;

3. Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders, as needed, in an amount not-to-exceed $ 160,775, (approximately 8% of the total contract amount) for construction contingency; and

4. Approve the Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the subject project (Enclosure 2) and authorize the City Clerk to file the NOE with the County Recorder, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

Funding in the amount of $2,300,000 was budgeted for CIP 50067. The total funding comes from two sources: $1,300,000 in SB-1 funds (Fund 202) (Account 202.70.7300- 54500-CIP.50067) and $1,000,000 in the Capital Improvement Program Fund (CIP) (Account 400.70.7300-54500-CIP.50067). Sufficient funding in these two accounts is available to cover the agreement and the construction contingency. No additional funding is required at this time.

Discussion:

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funding for citywide street improvements based on the City’s adopted Pavement Management System (PMS).

Street sealing is a type of preventative maintenance measure that prolongs the service life of existing pavement. Cape sealing treatment consists of asphalt rubber aggregate membranes (ARAM) overlaid with a Type II slurry seal. Slurry Seal is a treatment of ¼” 6 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 28, 2023 CITYWIDE RESURFACING - SLURRY AND CAPE SEAL, CIP NO. 50067 – AWARD

aggregate and asphalt emulsion that is commonly used on residential and lower volume streets. New striping will be installed on top of new roadway surfaces.

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) mandates non-compliant ADA curb ramps adjacent to cape seal improvements be brought up to code. For this reason, the scope of this project includes upgrading a total of sixty (60) curb ramps. These ramps were identified in the City’s ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan.

Staff evaluated the condition of existing pavement throughout the City and prioritized street segments that would benefit the most from a cape seal and slurry seal. Staff also considered upcoming utility improvements to avoid the need to cut into new pavement.

Based on the evaluation, the following summarizes the street segments to be improved under this Project:

Environmental Analysis:

The project has been reviewed for environmental compliance. Pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Project is categorically exempt under Class 1 Section 15301(c) for existing facilities (Enclosure 2).

Under CEQA, a project is exempt if the scope of work is limited to the repair, maintenance, reconstruction, or minor alterations of an existing street.

On December 24, 2022 and December 31, 2022, the Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) was advertised in the Cerritos Newspaper and was posted on PlanetBids (City’s bidding platform) through the City’s website. On February 15, 2023, a total of three (3) bids were received and opened electronically on PlanetBids. The following summarizes the bids received:

CONSTRUCTION COMPANY BID AMOUNT
All American Asphalt $2,016,025
Onyx Paving Company, Inc. $2,027,000
Manhole Adjusting, Inc. $2,092,273
Staff completed the analysis of the bids and determined All American Asphalt to be the apparent low and responsible bidder. Staff has verified All American Asphalt's references and found their past performance on jobs of similar size and scope to be satisfactory. All American Asphalt’s bid, bonds, and insurance documents are in order and their contractor’s license is current.

Staff intend to issue a request for task proposals (RFTP) from pre-qualified firms under the City’s on-call agreements to provide construction management and inspection services. The budget for these services is currently estimated not-to-exceed $73,500.

The total funding sources and project budget, including design, is summarized as follows:

Subject: HOT SPOT INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT

ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD AND BEVERLY BOULEVARD
(CIP NO. 21276), LINDELL AVENUE BLOCK WALL –

REJECT ALL BIDS AND RE-ADVERTISE
Recommendation:

1. Reject all bids for Hot Spot Intersection Improvements at Rosemead Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard (CIP No. 21276), Lindell Avenue Block Wall; and

2. Authorize the City Clerk to Re-Advertise for Construction Bids.

Fiscal Impact:

The project received grant funding in the amount of 13,479,000 from Measure R Grant Funds (Fund 207) as part of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (Metro) SR-91/I-605/I-405 Corridor Hot Spots Program administered by the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG). As of the reporting date, the available Measure R amount is $1,214,300. No additional funding is required.

Discussion:

The City of Pico Rivera is a member of the SR-91/I-605/I-405 Corridor Cities Committee through its membership in the GCCOG. The overall goal of the Gateway COG’s Hot Spots Program is to increase capacity at major intersections along Rosemead Boulevard to reduce congestion along the SR-91/I-605/I-405 corridors. The Gateway COG Hot Spot Program identified four intersections within the City of Pico Rivera and awarded $18,254,500 in reimbursement grant funds to the City to implement the program’s projects within its jurisdiction.

The four (4) intersections along Rosemead Boulevard within the City of Pico Rivera that were identified in the GCCOG Hot Spots Program are the following: 1) Rosemead Boulevard at Beverly Boulevard, 2) Rosemead Boulevard at Whittier Boulevard, 3) Rosemead Boulevard at Washington Boulevard, and 4) Rosemead Boulevard at Slauson Avenue. The intersection at Rosemead Boulevard at Beverly Boulevard is included in CIP No. 21276 and it is the last intersection to be completed as part of the Hot Spots Program intersection improvements work.

In order to comply with the environmental documents for the intersection improvement project, construction of an 8-foot-high masonry wall to mitigate traffic noise along the southerly property line of 4359 Lindell Avenue is required. This mitigation measure was not included in the original scope of work for the intersection project.

On January 26, 2023, the Notice Inviting Bids to construct the masonry wall along Lindell Avenue was published on Planet Bids through the City’s website portal. Three (3) bids were received through Planet Bids on February 15, 2023. The following table summarizes the bids received:

No. Contractor Total Bid
1 Global Builders, Inc. $64,988
2 Gentry General Engineering, Inc. $117,060
3 HZS Engineering, Inc. $139,000
During the bid analysis and evaluations, staff received one bid protest. Upon review of the bids and bid protest letter, Staff and City Attorney recommends rejecting all bids and re-advertising the project.

Conclusion:

According to the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, the City Council has the authority to reject all bids. Municipal Code Section 3.20.150, Rejection of Bids, states, “In its discretion, the City Council may reject any and all bids presented and re-advertise for bids.” Therefore, staff recommends the rejection of all bids received for the Hot Spot Intersection Improvements at Rosemead Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard (CIP No. 21276), Lindell Avenue Block Wall, and requests authorization to re-advertise for construction.

Subject: RIO HONDO PARK PROJECT (CIP NO. 21365) – AWARD

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR

ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES
Recommendation:

1. Award a Professional Services Agreement to RHA Landscape ArchitectsPlanners, Inc. to provide Architect/Engineer (A-E) services for design phase service of the Rio Hondo Park Project, CIP No. 21365 for an amount not-toexceed $549,500, and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney; and

2. Authorize the Parks and Recreation Director to process change orders, as needed, in an amount no-to-exceed $82,425 (15%) for design contingency.

Fiscal Impact:

The City will utilize $681,925 State of California grant funding for design portion of the Rio Hondo Park Project. Sufficient funding is available in the FY 2022-23 budget, within the State Grant Fund (699.70.7300-54500.CIP 21365).

There is no impact to the General Fund.

Discussion:

Rio Hondo Park has continued to offer a large recreation area with various amenities for the community to use and rent, such as a ballfield, outdoor basketball courts, picnic gazebos, and a community center. The park and the facilities are aging and some of the challenges identified by staff include the surface quality of the fields, the outdated and inadequate lighting system, and the perimeter park fence.

For many years the Parks and Recreation Department has put forth various efforts to secure grants and funding in hopes of renovating the park sight to its fullest potential. In 2016 Staff applied for and the City was awarded a grant from the State of California in the amount of $947,331. Staff then applied for a Prop 68 Grant Round 3 in 2019 and Prop 68 Round 4, in 2021. Unfortunately, on both rounds of funding request the City was unsuccessful.

SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES

Services (OGALS) indicated that our application for Round 4 had 0 deficiencies and was an excellent application but they ran out of grant funds. Knowing this, staff began to work on creative ways to work with legislative officials to try to gather the funding for this worthwhile project.

The City worked with Assemblywoman Calderon, Former Assemblywoman Garcia and Senator Archuleta who together successfully advocated for State budget surplus dollars for Rio Hondo Park and as a result, the City was awarded 8.5 Million Dollars to fund the park renovation project. This results in a total combined grant funding of $9,447,331 for the proposed project.

Due to the size of the project, maintenance challenges, extensive repairs/renovations needed, and new improvements desired, staff determined that professional Architect (AE) services would be needed to develop a plan to accomplish these goals.

On October 3, 2022, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was published on PlanetBids via the City’s website. The intent of the RFP was to select a team to work with the City to develop the best approach for improvements to Rio Hondo Park for safe and comfortable use by the public, and to enhance and add to park amenities. The Services requested included project management, preliminary engineering, conceptual design, community outreach/consensus building, final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E); and assistance with project advertisement. The procurement process has met the State Grant guidelines.

On October 24, 2022, six (6) proposals were received. A technical panel consisting of the Parks and Recreation Director, the Interim Director of Public Works, the City’s project manager and assistant project manager ranked the proposals. The panel used qualifications-based selection criteria to rank the consultants. The selection criteria weighed a number of factors such as the team’s capabilities and experience with community-driven park design, experience on projects for public agencies, quality of past performance for the City or similar agencies, workload, and an understanding of operations to ensure delivery of a comprehensive product that will be tailored to the City’s unique needs.

A summary of the rankings is provided below:

RHA Landscape received the highest ranking from the panel.

As part of the RFP, proposers were asked to evaluate various options for the park design and how they would revitalize the park based on City’s needs. The selection of RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc. was based on their demonstrated experience and ability to fulfill the City’s needs and requirements for the design.

Upon the selection of RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc. as the highest ranked consultant, staff negotiated a fee of $549,500 for tasks 1-7 on the attached fee schedule. Staff believes this is an appropriate fee for the scope of services proposed in Tasks 1-7 of the attached proposal from RHA dated October 31, 2022.

The total project expenditures for the design phase of the project are summarized as follows:

Development and completion of the design phase of the Rio Hondo Park Project is anticipated by December 2023. Upon completion of design, staff will return to the City Council to seek approval of the design prior to issuing a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) to solicit bids for the construction phase of the project. Contracts for additional services such as construction administration and management will be brought forth at the time of project construction award.

RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Rio Hondo Park Project
Dear Kevin and Consultant Selection Committee,
RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, a C Corporation, is very pleased to submit this proposal for the Rio Hondo Park Project. We have enjoyed working the City of Pico Rivera over the past several years on several projects and believe we have developed a good working relationship with many City staff members. RHA has completed park improvement and renovation projects similar to Rio Hondo for other cities including Chino, Monrovia, Santa Monica, Riverside, El Segundo, Moreno Valley, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and many others.

Having prepared the current Concept Plan we are excited about this project and are confident we have a strong understanding of your expectations.

RHA Landscape Architects has assembled a strong team for this project consisting of IMEG for survey and civil engineering, BOA Architecture, JCA Engineers for electrical, UltraSystems for environmental and Converse Consultants for geotechnical investigations and reports. Additional information on our team is provided within this proposal.

The management, and primary contacts are Doug Grove, RLA, LEED AP and Greg Meek RLA, CPSC; both licensed Landscape Architects who are extremely experienced providing exceptional park design and landscape architectural services to public agencies. We can be reached at the telephone numbers and email addresses below.

Doug Grove, email [email protected] Telephone (951) 781- 1930 ex 121 Greg Meek, email [email protected] Telephone (951) 781- 1930 ex 122 Doug will be the lead principal for the project assisted by Greg and the rest of the RHA staff. The irrigation work will be performed by Landscape Architect David Black, our in-house irrigation specialist. Our support staff are Lauren McHugh, Landscape Architect, and Landscape Designers Jennifer Iklady and Andrew Lytle.

RHA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS - PLANNERS, INC.

RHA has reviewed the sample agreement associated with this RFP and, if selected, can enter into an agreement of that form.

RHA is currently working on several park improvement projects from early concept design through construction documents and in-construction. These projects will not affect the availability of staff assigned to the Rio Hondo Park project. In fact, they will provide additional resources for the city as our staff is finely tuned into park design and document preparation as well as understanding current park development costs that have risen significantly in the past 6 months.

We look forward to working with you on this exciting project! Cordially,

Over the course of the firm's 43 years of work in Southern California, RHA has garnered a number of prestigious awards from a variety of organizations, including the American Society of Landscape Architects, the American Planning Association, and the California Park and Recreation Society (CPRS). One of the firm's projects, the General Plan for the California Citrus State Historic Park, was named the Outstanding Planning Project by the Inland Empire Section of the American Planning Association, and received a prestigious Honor Award from the Southern California Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

The firm also garnered CPRS awards for Excellence
in Park & Facility Planning for the Cities of Upland
(McCarthy Park), Riverside (White Park), Norco
(Pikes Peak Park) and Riverside County (Ranch
Jurupa Park). Pikes Peak Park was also given an
APWA (American Public Works Association) award

The RHA team has completed over a 100 park
projects that involve a wide variety of park
amenities including synthetic turf soccer fields,
ballfields, restrooms, and bird/butterfly gardens.

The following pages are several representative projects that highlight this extensive experience.

RHA takes pride in preparing documents that result in
minimal to no change orders during the construction of
the project. Our park projects typically have less than 1% change orders resulting from design errors and/or
omissions. RHA strives and accomplishes this low
change order percentage through a thorough in-house
plan check process that involves the project Principalin-Charge as well as another review by a principal and/or senior project manager. If and when issues do
arise during construction, RHA works diligently to

Firm Information
resolve the matter within 48 hours so that the construction can continue to move forward without incurring additional costs for delays.

Project scheduling is an important part of the plan
preparation. RHA utilizes Microsoft Project to
prepare a detailed project schedule at the
beginning of the project and updates the schedule
on a regular basis to insure the project is
completed on time. While we do not have control
over agency reviews and internal agency
schedules and priorities, we strive to complete
our portion of the work in a timely manner per the
project schedule to keep the project moving in a
positive direction.

The ability to accurately project the cost of a park
development is a very critical step in the preparation of park construction documents. The cost of rebidding a public park project if the bids come in too high can be extreme for a City already operating on a tight budget. We are constantly updating our computer-based cost estimating program with the latest price information from our most recently bid projects. RHA typically bids 3-4 projects per year which enables us to keep up-to-date cost estimate numbers for a variety of park projects.

RHA is located in the City of Riverside with a staff of seven (8) persons includes four (4) licensed landscape architects as well as support designers.
