SUMMARY:
On January 17, 2017, the City Council approved a contract with Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. (Biggs Cardosa) to provide engineering design and environmental permitting services for the Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. Biggs Cardosa completed the design phase of the project in the Fall of 2019.
Since this is a Federally funded project, Biggs Cardosa has been assisting the City in securing all necessary Federal and State regulatory permits through multiple agencies, including the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Caltrans, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) and Orange County Public Works (OCPW). In March 2021, the City received word that the Federal Highway Bridge Program was oversubscribed, and the Federal Government has not increased the budget allocation to the program. As such, the funding for the project was pushed to beyond the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 funding cycle. Meanwhile, on May 17, 2021, the City received the final USACE's 404 permit verification letters; however, since the funding earmarked for this project had been exhausted, the City had to put the project on hold until other funding sources could be identified.
In March 2022, Staff was notified that Congress included the Golden Avenue Bridge project in the FY 2023 Federal appropriation bill in the amount of $2.2 million. The City must allocate the Federal earmark funds by June 30, 2025. Unfortunately, the Federal earmark funds are being routed through Caltrans which requires the City to undertake a long, multi -layered approval process before it can solicit bids for construction.

City Council Agenda
July 16, 2024
On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved Addendum No. 4 in the amount of $182,000 which provided additional funding to Biggs Cardosa for re -submitting regulatory documentation that had expired to re -issue permits previously provided by various regulatory agencies as well as preparing all the necessary Caltrans documentation necessary to obtain final approval for construction of the bridge.
Since that time Caltrans indicated that the City's right-of-way procedures did not meet federal funding regulations which ultimately required the City to correct past work and utilize a separate right-of-way consultant. This included hiring a Caltrans-qualified consultant to perform right-of- way and property acquisition services, quitclaiming all previously acquired deeds and to restart the easement acquisition process from the beginning and following FHWA requirements. These corrective actions resulted in Biggs Cardosa having to provide additional services. This Amendment No. 5 reflects those additional services in the amount of $155,502 and will provide additional funding for environmental revalidation, regulatory permitting, right-of-way coordination, project management, utility coordination, and additional design services to update the project documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement with Biggs Cardosa & Associates, Inc. to increase the contract amount by an additional $155,502 for a total contract not -to -exceed amount of $970,938; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to approve contract amendments up to 10% of the contract amendment amount, or $15,550.20; and
3. Authorize the City Administrator and/or his designee to execute all the necessary documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION:
The Golden Avenue Bridge over Carbon Canyon Channel was originally built in 1934. The bridge was inspected by Caltrans in 2005 and rated as functionally obsolete. In 2014, a total of $3,087,250 in Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Replacement grant funds were earmarked for replacement of the bridge. The grant funds cover the cost of design and construction. The grant program will reimburse the City up to 88.53% of the total project cost.
On January 17, 2017, the City Council approved a two-year Professional Services Agreement with Biggs Cardosa for Engineering Design and Environmental Permitting Services for the Project.
On November 5, 2019, the City Council then approved Amendment No. 1 for additional Paleontological work required by Caltrans to meet Federal funding guidelines. This amendment also extended the agreement an additional two years. On January 14, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 due to additional tasks requested by Caltrans and the Army Corps of Engineers to obtain the needed regulatory permits. Amendment No. 3 was approved under the
City Council Agenda
July 16, 2024
City Administrator's authority on January 26, 2021, to extend the agreement an additional two years to January 26, 2023, with no additional compensation to Biggs Cardosa.
Since then, Biggs Cardosa has successfully completed the design of the Project and assisted the City with securing permits needed from various regulatory agencies involved with the construction of the bridge, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Caltrans, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) and Orange County Public Works (OCPW). Work on the project halted when Caltrans confirmed that the HBP was oversubscribed and that funding for the City's project was pushed beyond Fiscal Year 2025-26.
However, in March 2022, Staff was notified that the project was awarded a separate Congressional Federal Earmark for $2.2 million in the FY 2023 Federal appropriation bill with the funds administered through the Federal Highway Administration. The City must allocate the Federal earmark funds by June 30, 2025. Unfortunately, the Federal earmark funds are being routed through Caltrans which requires the City to undertake a long, multi -layered approval process before it can solicit bids for construction.
On September 6, 2022, City Council approved Amendment No. 4 in the amount of $182,000 which provided additional funding to Biggs Cardosa for re -submitting regulatory documentation that had expired to re -issue permits previously provided by various regulatory agencies as well as preparing all the necessary Caltrans documentation necessary to obtain final approval for construction of the bridge. Additionally, the agreement term was extended another three years to January 26, 2026.
Since that time Caltrans indicated that the City's right-of-way procedures did not meet federal funding regulations which ultimately required the City to correct past work and utilize a separate right-of-way consultant. This included hiring a Caltrans-qualified consultant to perform right-of- way and property acquisition services, quitclaiming all previously acquired deeds and to restart the easement acquisition process from the beginning and following FHWA requirements. These corrective actions resulted in Biggs Cardosa having to provide additional services. This Amendment No. 5 reflects those additional services in the amount of $155,502 and will provide additional funding for environmental revalidation, regulatory permitting, right-of-way coordination, project management, utility coordination, and additional design services to update the project documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended actions will approve Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement with Biggs Cardosa increasing the contract amount by $155,502. A total of $2,415,204.16 is available in the total project budget including the Federal Earmark of $2.2 million received for the project. As such, sufficient funds exist for the recommended actions.

Subject:
Dear Chris:
Extra Services and Fee Request — Caltrans Right -of -Way Certification, Environmental Permit reverification, OC Loop Coordination, Redesign of 100% PS&E package, Construction Bidding Services and Construction Phase Services for Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Federal Project No. BRL-5269(025) Bridge NO. 55C-0192 Biggs Cardosa Associates is submitting this Extra Services and Fee Request as agreed and previously discussed. The scope provided in this proposal is intended to carry the project to completion.
The following is background information on the project status and decisions preceding this proposal. From the time the Amendment #4 request was submitted (April 27, 2022) and subsequently approved (September 2022), the BCA team continued to perform the tasks requested by the City even though the existing budget had been exhausted across all tasks. The project had essentially been completed however due to complications related to the construction funding that the City believed it had secured, the project status went into limbo while the City attempted to determine a path forward in securing the funding. BCA assisted the City in assessing options for moving forward, which included restarting the Right -of -Way (ROW) process to bring the ROW design into compliance with Caltrans procedures and federal regulations, and potentially redesigning the project geometrics to ensure all permanent features and temporary access routes would fall within existing City ROW. The City concluded in the Fall of 2022 that the project would need to restart the ROW process, and extensive Caltrans coordination ensued. In the early summer of 2023, BCA began ongoing budget discussions with the City with respect to submitting an additional scope and fee request, however it was mutually agreed to by BCA and the City that submitting one proposal that covered all additional tasks would be preferred in order to minimize City Council involvement. To meet this objective, it was necessary to progress the design to the point where the BCA team gained a full understanding of the environmental and regulatory process, especially the US Army Corp's 408 permit. Doing so necessitated a significant amount of work that was outside of the scope of Amendment #4, but which relied on the budget established by Amendment #4, as agreed upon at the time by the City and BCA.
At the time of the proposal for Amendment #4, the original scope of work intended to finish out the project by completing the following identified scope:
• Regulatory reverification process
• continued utility provider coordination
• an anticipated E-76 submittal
• on -going cursory review 8t coordination with the OC Loop project • engineering support during the Bidding and Construction phases At the outset of ROW certification, Caltrans indicated that the City's right-of-way design did not meet federal regulations, and would need to be re -done. This precipitated a significant shift in overall schedule and required tasks that involved additional project management, PDT meetings and coordination, environmental permitting, utility coordination, ROW coordination and meetings, and because the OC Loop would eventually leapfrog our project schedule in terms of construction, the Golden Avenue project now needed more extensive coordination and design/ plan revisions. This included assessing the constructability of both projects as well as advertising/ administrative roles and responsibilities. The following is a brief breakdown of the out -of -scope work that resulted from the renewed ROW process:
3cr..
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Extra Services and Fee Request
• Extensive ROW meetings with City, Caltrans ROW staff, and the City's Real Estate consultant • Golden Ave Project/ OC Loop Project/ Caltrans coordination • Property and easement reviews
• NEPA Coordination and Revalidation process
• CEQA Coordination and Addendum preparation
• Additional OC Loop meetings, reviews & coordination
• Base map revisions, design verification and/or revisions • Additional utility relocation verification & coordination • Additional 408 permit coordination, memorandum and extension request • Bi-weekly PDT meetings with meeting minutes per the City's request
1. SCOPE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE PROJECT TO CONSTRUCTION
On February 4th 2024, the City received an informal confirmation from the US Army Corp of Engineers that an extension of the 408 permit would be forthcoming. As such, the project focus reverts back to completing the ROW certification process, finalizing the utility relocation coordination, completing the required environmental studies, and finalizing the PS&E. On February 6th, the City's Project Manager prepared and circulated a project schedule that indicated the project was on track to meet the funding deadline and that the ROW task is now the critical path. The anticipated ROW certification date is listed as 11/15/24, it is assumed that the bi-weekly PDT meetings will continue until then. The anticipated award date is 5/26/25 and the start of construction is listed as 6/15/25. The anticipated tasks are as follows:
ADDITIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
In keeping with the City's request for bi-weekly PDT meetings, additional meetings are required inclusive of preparation of agenda, meeting minutes, and tracking action items. Also, project administration duties which include progress reports in which BCA will detail major items of work that were performed during a billing period and through the end of the construction phase.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES:
Phase I Initial Site Assessment
A Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA) was performed in February 2018. The project went on hold in 2018 to undergo design revisions; therefore, environmental clearance was also put on hold at the time until the revisions were finalized. A Phase I ISA is generally valid for a maximum time period of one year. Therefore, the ISA will need to be revised to confirm and update current site conditions. The ISA will identify all documented hazardous waste sites located within the project study area, as well as facilities located within the project study area that store, transfer, or utilize potentially hazardous materials. An Environmental Data Resources records search will be obtained to identify all known hazardous waste sites located within the project study area that are classified as a hazardous waste site under state law. A visual survey of the project area will also be conducted to identify any obvious area of hazardous waste contamination. Upon review of the records search and results of the visual survey, the potential impact to the project will be determined, and subsequent procedures to determine the extent of contamination and remediation requirements will be included in the ISA. Deliverables include one electronic copy of the draft and final Phase I ISA.
Phase II Sampling
The previous Phase I ISA found that Phase II sampling for soil and groundwater contaminants, aerially deposited lead, lead based paint, and asbestos containing materials would be required. We will perform a field survey to conduct soil, groundwater, asbestos, and lead based paint testing. Laboratory analysis will determine the presence of hazardous materials and a report will be prepared to summarize the results.
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Extra Services and Fee Request
Deliverables include one electronic copy of the draft and final Phase II Sampling Report. Please note that this proposal does not include incorporating any recommendations arising from the sampling report as the extent of that scope is currently unknown. Therefore, any required revisions to the PS&E package must be addressed in a separate scope and fee proposal at a future date.
UTILITY COORDINATION SERVICES:
Additional coordination work is required, including coordinating with SCE for updating the design of their proposed underground facilities. Following a recent meeting with SCE representatives, it is expected that the bridge project will be responsible for constructing the SCE facilities and will therefore need to be tracked in the PS&E package. However, at this time it is still unknown what impact, if any, that including this SCE work will have on the environmental document requirements and permits.
RIGHT OF WAY ENGINEERING SERVICES:
Legals and Plats
Legal descriptions and plat maps were produced previously to define the various temporary and permanent easements needed for the bridge and construction. The previous iterations of those documents were completed in 2019 and need updating to reflect recent property line changes and to comply with a Caltrans review. In addition, updates to the original property lines and ROW base map will be performed to reflect current data in the deliverable drawings.
Caltrans Coordination
On -going coordination and meetings with Caltrans staff is expected to continue, including submittal reviews and responding to comments. Also included is coordination and meetings with the City's real Estate consultant, Epic.
CONTRACT BID DOCUMENTS:
Once the ROW certification process and utility coordination is finalized, the current 100% PS&E package will need to be reviewed and revised accordingly. It is understood that the BCA team will revise the technical provisions, including updating to the 2021 Greenbook and to the 2023 Caltrans standards, and the City will generate the front-end specifications. A final bid set of documents will be prepared which includes:
• Demolition Plan
•
General Plan
• Plan and Profile
•
Foundation Plan
• Grading Plan
•
Abutment Details Sheet
• Utility Control Plan
•
Typical Section Sheet
• Storm Drain Plan
•
Girder Details Sheet
• Erosion Control Plan
•
Structure Approach Layout
• Signing and Striping Plan
•
Drainage Details Sheet
• Street Improvement Plan
•
100% Technical provisions and
Estimate updates
BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES:
The scope for these services will not change from the previous amendment and is included below. It was previously agreed by the City that the BCA team would use the bidding and construction support services budget to fund out -of -scope work until it was possible to submit this request. A line item in the fee breakdown
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Extra Services and Fee Request
is included for the purposes of re-establishing the previous budget, however at the City's request, these line - item budgets will be listed as optional in this request. The scope is as follows:
(Optional) Bidding
The BCA design team will provide assistance to the City during the bidding process. This assistance includes attending one Pre -Bid Construction Meetings and one additional office/ field meeting to clarify any design questions raised and found from the plans prior to construction beginning on the project. The BCA team will work closely with City staff to respond to all bid inquiries and questions relating to the plans and specifications during the bid period. Should addenda be required, the BA+CA team will assist with their preparation. All written responses to Contractor inquiries will be provided within two (2) working days of receipt of the Contractor's request. Along with this support, we will also be available to attend the bid opening. If requested, the BCA team will conduct a review of their services within the bids and supporting documentation to assist in confirmation of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Once this review is complete, we will make a recommendation to the City with the acceptance of and award, or if a rebid of the project if determined necessary.
(Optional) Construction Support
BCA will provide assistance to the City during construction which is anticipated to last between 6 to 8 months. The following tasks assume a duration of 8 months and include responding to requests for information (RFI's), assisting in contract change orders (CO's), reviewing shop drawings and materials/product submittals for conformance with the plans and specifications, provide clarification of design intent, when necessary, field visits to address construction issues and to observe construction of key structural components. It is assumed that there will be monthly meetings to discuss the progress of the project's discussion (8 total) and also a total of 12 field visits is assumed for the preparation of this fee estimate. Within thirty (30) days following the completion and acceptance of the Project, the BCA team will furnish a complete set of As-Builts on Bond paper to the City. Revisions will be solely based upon as - built information provided to the City and the BCA team by the City's Construction Manager and the Project Contractor. Upon approval of the bond copy of plans by the City, we will plot the As-Builts on Mylar for submittal to the City for their records.
As previously stated, should the OC Loop Project require changes in our project's design, the changes would be addressed during the construction stage. Accordingly, we have assumed a nominal amount of time that may be required for a redesign and the drafting and coordination related to any changes. Given the unknown nature of any future changes in design, this work effort and the accompanying budget should be viewed as provisional and subject to future amendments. (Optional) Agency Notifications
If requested, the BCA team will coordinate with the City to complete the required pre -construction submittals and notifications required by regulatory permits prior to initiating construction. Pre - construction agency notifications may include notice of start of work and other items such as final design plans. We will coordinate with the City to complete any required post -construction submittals and notifications. Notifications may include those required by regulatory permits to document and summarize the results of project construction and post -construction conditions. We will coordinate with the City to gather and/or prepare the necessary documentation and will submit the information to the agencies, as required.
(Optional) Construction Monitoring
If requested and required by the regulatory permits, BCA team member GPA will conduct bi-monthly construction monitoring. GPA will monitor specific activities typically required by the regulatory permits.
The results of each monitoring visit will be summarized in an email to the City. GPA will coordinate with
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Extra Services and Fee Request
the City as needed to correct any conditions that are out of compliance during monitoring visits.
Construction is anticipated to last for up to six months. Up to 12 construction monitoring visits would be conducted.
Fee
Our construction support services fee represents our best estimate of the costs involved. The construction support services costs are highly unpredictable, and highly dependent on the contractor's proficiency / performance and the overall construction schedule. The final cost may be above or below the amount estimated in this proposal. For the reasons listed above, we recommend that the City establish a contingency budget for construction support services. This budget can then be utilized if more effort is required.
BCA proposes to provide the various 'Services' outlined in this proposal, including direct expenses, not including "optional" tasks, for a fixed base fee not to exceed $155,502. A detailed breakdown of our fee proposal is attached. At the City's option, optional tasks may be added to the BCA team's scope as outlined in the above proposal, and for the fee $94,687 as shown in the attached Fee Proposal. Please note that BCA's previously used rates have expired. Updated rates are used for this Extra Services request.
Assumptions made in the preparation of this proposal:
■ It is assumed that the current survey limits are adequate for the relocation of the bridge. Should additional survey be required, the BCA team will prepare a scope of work and cost for the City to review and approve.
■ The 408 permit will be extended by the USACE
■ This proposal does not include incorporating any recommendations arising from the sampling report as the extent of that scope is currently unknown. Therefore, any required revisions to the PS&E package must be addressed in a separate scope and fee proposal at a future date.
■ An E-76 process is assumed, involving coordination with Caltrans and obtaining a right-of-way certification. As such, it is anticipated that construction bid solicitation will begin in Summer 2025. ■ OC Loop reviews have been completed. If any design changes, reviews or field visits are requested, they will be considered out of scope and not included in this proposal. ■ Construction is anticipated to last approximately six to eight months. If the construction schedule changes and additional services and/or monitoring are requested, an additional scope of work and budget to support this effort can be provided upon request.
■ Site visits are limited to structural observations only during construction. Special structural inspections are not part of this scope and fee proposal. If requested, BCA can provide a separate scope and fee proposal for Inspection Services.
■ Remedial engineering design to determine corrective action required due to materials and/or contractor's operations not meeting contract requirements is not included in this proposal. Per your request, BCA can provide this work as extra services.
■ Engineering advice and technical support for construction change orders to the plans and specifications initiated by the contractor, preparation of change order documentation which would include, where appropriate, changes to plans and specifications, and additional structural details are not included in this proposal. Per your request, BCA can provide additional hours to perform these duties, as additional services.
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project at Carbon Canyon Channel Extra Services and Fee Request
■ We shall review or take other appropriate action upon Contractor's submittals, as requested by the City or the CM's RE, such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractor, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor to the extent required by the Contract Documents.
■ All shoring design will be the responsibility of the contractor and their designated licensed Civil Engineer. Biggs Cardoso Associates will conduct a limited and cursory review of all shoring submittals to check for general compliance with the design concept of the project and general compliance with the information given in the contract documents.
We look forward to continuing to work with you on this project to bring it to successful completion. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE BROAD FORM
ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
To the extent that the provisions of this endorsement provide broader benefits to the "insured" than other provisions of the Coverage Form, the provisions of this endorsement apply.
1. BROAD FORM INSURED
Paragraph .1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
Section II - Liability Coverage is amended to
add the following:
d. Subsidiaries and Newly Acquired or
Formed Organizations
The Named Insured shown in the Declarations
is amended to include:
(1) Any legal business entity other than a
partnership or joint venture, formed as a
subsidiary in which you have an
ownership interest of more than 50% on
the effective date of the Coverage Form.
However, the Named Insured does not
include any subsidiary that is an "insured"
under any other automobile policy or
would be an "insured" under such a policy
but for its termination or the exhaustion of
its Limit of Insurance.
(2) Any organization that is acquired or
formed by you and over which you
maintain majority ownership. However,
the Named Insured does not include any
newly formed or acquired organization:
(a) That is a partnership or joint venture,
(b) That is an "insured" under any other
policy,
(c) That has exhausted its Limit of
Insurance under any other policy, or
(d) 180 days or more after its acquisition
or formation by you, unless you have
given us notice of the acquisition or
formation.
Coverage does not apply to "bodily injury"
or "property damage" that results from an
"accident" that occurred before you
formed or acquired the organization.
e. Employees as Insureds
(1). Any "employee" of yours while using a
covered "auto" you don't own, hire or
borrow in your business or your personal
affairs.
f. Lessors as Insureds
(1). The lessor of a covered "auto" while the
"auto" is leased to you under a written
agreement if:
(a) The agreement requires you to
provide direct primary insurance for
the lessor and
(b) The "auto" is leased without a driver.
Such a leased "auto" will be considered a
covered "auto" you own and not a covered
"auto" you hire.
Additional Insured if Required by Contract
(1) When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your business auto
policy, such person or organization is an
"insured", but only to the extent such
person or organization is liable for "bodily
injury" or "property damage" caused by
the conduct of an "insured" under
paragraphs a. or b. of Who Is An Insured
with regard to the ownership,
maintenance or use of a covered "auto."
The insurance afforded to any such
additional insured applies only if the
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
occurs:
g.
(a) During the policy period, and
(b) Subsequent to the execution of such
written contract, and
Form HA 99 16 12 21

(c) Prior to the expiration of the period of
time that the written contract requires
such insurance be provided to the
additional insured.
(2) How Limits Apply
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the most we will
pay on behalf of such additional insured is
the lesser of:
(a) The limits of insurance specified in the
written contract or written agreement;
(3)
or
(b) The Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations.
Such amount shall be a part of and not in
addition to Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations and described in this
Section.
Additional Insureds Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional insured
must submit such claim or "suit" to the
other insurer for defense and indemnity.
However, this provision does not apply to
the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract or written agreement that
this insurance is primary and
non-contributory with the additional
insured's own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the additional
insured shall be required to comply with
the provisions in LOSS CONDITIONS 2. -
DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT,
CLAIM , SUIT OR LOSS - OF SECTION
IV - BUSINESS AUTO CONDITIONS, in
the same manner as the Named Insured.
2. Primary and Non -Contributory if Required
by Contract
Only with respect to insurance provided to an
additional insured in A.1.g. - Additional
Insured If Required by Contract, the following
provisions apply:
(1) Primary Insurance When Required By
Contract
This insurance is primary if you have
agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be primary.
If other insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance by the
method described in Other Insurance 5.d.
(2) Primary And Non -Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other insurance.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured has
been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty to defend the insured against any
"suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend
the insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do so,
but we will be entitled to the insured's rights
against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self -insured
amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, by

the extent of the coverage and limits of
insurance required by that law.

A person or organization may sue us to recover
on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment
against an insured; but we will not be liable for

and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this policy to the first Named Insured, this

all hazards relating to the conduct of your
business at the inception date of this
Coverage Part, we shall not deny any
coverage under this Coverage Part
because of such failure.
7. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is
available for a loss we cover under this
Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as
follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If other insurance is also
primary, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in c.
below.
b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the
other insurance, whether primary, excess,
contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage,
Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or
similar coverage for "your work";
(2) Premises Rented To You

or temporarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner;

cover your liability as a tenant for
"property damage" to premises rented

Policy # 57SBWBO6247
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
(7)
(6) When You Are Added As An
Additional Insured To Other
Insurance
That is other insurance available to
you covering liability for damages
arising out of the premises or
operations, or products and completed
operations, for which you have been
added as an additional insured by that
insurance; or
When You Add Others As An
Additional Insured To This
Insurance
That is other insurance available to an
additional insured.
However, the following provisions
apply to other insurance available to
any person or organization who is an
additional insured under this Coverage
Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When
Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you
have agreed in a written contract,
written agreement or permit that
this insurance be primary. If other
insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance
by the method described in c.
below.
(b) Primary And Non -Contributory
To Other Insurance When
Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written
contract, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with
the additional insured's own
insurance, this insurance is
primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to
other insurance to which the additional
insured has been added as an
additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under this Coverage Part to
defend the insured against any "suit" if any
other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do
so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that
exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self -
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with
any other insurance that is not described in
this Excess Insurance provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach,
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will
contribute by limits. Under this method, each
insurer's share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or
part of any payment, including
Supplementary Payments, we have made
under this Coverage Part, those rights are
transferred to us. The insured must do
nothing after loss to impair them. At our
request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us
enforce them. This condition does not
apply to Medical Expenses Coverage.
b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver
Of Subrogation)
If the insured has waived any rights of
recovery against any person or
organization for all or part of any payment,
including Supplementary Payments, we
have made under this Coverage Part, we
also waive that right, provided the insured
waived their rights of recovery against
such person or organization in a contract,
agreement or permit that was executed
prior to the injury or damage.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
VIA: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: STEFANIE ACOSTA-REYES, PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER DATE: JULY 16, 2024
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MOETIVATIONS INC. FOR
TEMPORARY DISPATCHER ON DEMAND SERVICES
FISCAL
IMPACT: EXPENSE: $ 108,204.95 FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 (101515-5005) SUMMARY:
The Placentia Public Safety Communications Center (Communications Center) is a public safety division that operates 24/7 serving the community and our public safety partners. The Communications Center triages over 58,000 calls throughout the year for Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical services. As with any 24 -hour operation, adequate staffing is necessary to efficiently perform all public safety dispatching and call -taking responsibilities. With the upcoming extended leaves of absence for three (3) full-time employees approaching and having two newly hired full-time dispatchers still in training, Staff researched possible remedies to temporarily staff the Communications Center and ease the excessive overtime burden on remaining dispatchers.
The City located one organization which provides contracting dispatcher services. Moetivations, Inc. (Moetivations) can assist the City with a "dispatcher on demand" system to reduce job burn out and alleviate overtime costs. City representatives met with Moetivations consultants to learn more about the process involved with contracting temporary dispatcher services. Due to the specialized training involved in the public safety dispatch profession, as well as having limited other resources available to alleviate the impact of overtime on dispatchers during the planned extended leaves, an agreement and quote were received, and Staff is recommending the City Council award a contract to Moetivations Inc. to provide dispatcher on demand services to the City for an initial term of three (3) months with an option to extend for a period up to one year.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Moetivations Inc. for Temporary Traveling Dispatcher Services for a period of three months in Fiscal Year 2024-25, with the option to extend for an additional period of nine months at the discretion of the City Council; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute all necessary documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney.

City Council Agenda
July 16, 2024
DISCUSSION:
For the next few months, the Communication Center will be short staffed due to upcoming extended leaves of absence for three (3) full-time employees and having two (2) newly hired dispatchers still in training and not capable of covering vacant shifts independently. To provide adequate assistance to all community members, the Communications Center must be staffed with no less than two dispatchers during the early morning hours, and three dispatchers during peak activity periods to triage all calls for Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services as well as dispatch these field responders to calls for service.
Staff researched possible remedies to address the temporary staffing shortage in the Communications Center and ease the excessive overtime burden on the dispatchers. The City located one organization, which provides contract dispatcher services. Moetivations, Inc. (Moetivations) offers services that would supplement the City's staffing with a "dispatcher on demand" system to reduce job burn out and reduce overtime costs. City representatives met with Moetivations consultants to learn more about the process involved with contracting temporary dispatcher services. Due to the specialized training involved in the public safety dispatch profession, as well as having limited other resources available to alleviate the impact of overtime on dispatchers during the planned extended leaves, an agreement and quote were received, and Staff is recommending the City Council award a contract to Moetivations Inc. to provide dispatcher on demand services to the City for an initial term of three (3) months with an option to extend the contract for a period up to one year.
During the next few months there are between 600 to 700 overtime hours each month that need to be filled within the Communications Center to meet minimum staffing levels. The use of Moetivations versus utilizing existing City Staff has a financial savings to the City of approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per month or $18,000 to $36,000 for the initial 3 -month term. In addition, the Moetivations service would reduce the need for City Staff to work approximately 480 overtime hours each month, thereby decreasing the need to mandate dispatchers to fill those vacant shifts.
The greatest benefit to using Moetivations is the support it will provide to our team and the positive impact it will have in helping reduce dispatcher burnout should they continue to work excessive overtime until the Communications Center is back up to full staffing levels.
Moetivations is an organization based out of Denver, Colorado which assists Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to succeed and thrive by providing various services including dispatchers on demand, quality assurance programs, leadership development training, recruitment and retention strategies, standard operating procedures development, as well as coaching and wellness support. Moetivations was established in 2012. Due to the national demand of short-staffed communication centers, Moetivations expanded their services in January 2023 to provide the Dispatcher on Demand program. The Dispatcher on Demand program offers experienced, 9-1-1 certified telecommunicators and dispatchers to public safety agencies to cover shift vacancies. Since the inception of these temporary dispatcher services, Moetivations has assisted over forty agencies in sixteen states, which totals over 50,170 hours of work experience for these Dispatcher on Demand services. Benefits in utilizing the Dispatcher on Demand team
City Council Agenda
July 16, 2024
include full shift coverage, a certified staff with years of 9-1-1 dispatching experience, reduced overtime needs, more time off for the agency's permanent staff, and lower job stress and related turnover. In completing reference checks with two PSAPs who are current customers, Goodyear, Arizona Police Communications as well as Boulder County Sheriff Office, these agencies had only positive feedback to provide on the services they have received from Moetivations. Goodyear Police Department Communications Manager shared they have utilized the organization twice and were pleased with their services and the personnel that was sent to their center. Boulder County Sheriff Office Communications Commander shared their experience was also positive and utilizing Moetivations cut down on the center's overtime by 50%.
Communications Center management will keep both the Police Chief and Fire Chief informed throughout the process including the logistics and filling of shift vacancies using the dispatch on demand as a temporary solution.
Below are other key factors to consider:
• All First Responders must have adequate days off for rest, which promotes a healthy work - life balance.
• Employees can and will call in sick, which causes a need to backfill their shifts to ensure sufficient staffing remains in place.
• Full-time employees are entitled to sign up for prescheduled vacations and to take paid time off.
• Supplementing employee schedules with temporary dispatcher on demand services helps to reduce job burn out.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended action will approve a Professional Services Agreement with Moetivations, Inc. for dispatch on demand services for a period of approximately three months for an amount not to exceed $108,205. This will be funded from the Communication Center's overtime budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

The contract scope of work provides for routine turf grass and landscape maintenance as well as maintaining playgrounds, hardscapes, pest and rodent control, weed control, and irrigation system maintenance. In addition, the contractor, on an annual basis, will provide 20,000 square feet of new sod for sports field repairs as well as fresh mulch for all planter beds at no additional cost to the City. The contractor will also be required to replenish playground sand and wood chips on an as -needed basis. Currently, the contract term and all available extensions are expired. Per the City's purchasing policy, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the maintenance services was released on April 25, 2024.
On May 31, 2024, the City received seven (7) bids from contractors to provide park maintenance services and a summary of those bid amounts are noted in the table below.
Bidders were asked to provide the City with costs associated with two potential service delivery models. One option includes mowing of all City parks on a weekly basis and the second option includes mowing of City parks on a bi-monthly basis. Bi-monthly mowing is the City's current service model. Based upon review of the bids, Staff recommends approving the weekly mowing service model to provide the best quality service. The recommended service model will include weekly mowing of all City parks and weekly mowing of the City's athletic fields.

Pests and diseases shall include, but not be limited to, all insects, aphids, mites, other invertebrates, pathogens, and nematodes. Controls shall include the necessary use of integrated pest management systems involving the use of life history information and extensive monitoring. Control shall be through prevention, cultural practices, pesticide applications, exclusion, natural enemies, biological control, and host resistance.
4. All material used shall be in strict accordance and applied within the most current EPA regulations and the California Department of Food and Agricultural Code.
5. City shall be notified prior to the application of pesticides and other chemicals.
Pesticide applications shall be recorded on the Maintenance Schedule and coordinated with Deputy Director of Community Services or Designee. Material use reports for all pesticides shall be filed with the City no later than the 10th of every month for the preceding month.
6. Application of Pesticides
A. Timing: Pesticides shall be applied at times which minimize the possibility of contamination from climatic or other factors and at the proper life cycle of the pests. Early morning application shall be used when possible, to avoid contamination from drift. Applicator shall monitor forecast weather conditions to avoid making application prior to inclement weather to eliminate potential runoff of treated areas.
Irrigation water applied after treatment shall be reduced to eliminate runoff.
When water is required to increase pesticide efficiency, it shall be applied only in quantities which each area is capable of receiving without runoff.
B. Handling of Pesticides: Care shall be taken in transferring and mixing pesticides to prevent contaminating areas outside the target area. Application methods shall be used which ensure that materials are confined to the target area. Spray tanks containing leftover materials shall not be drained on the site to prevent any contamination. Disposal of pesticides and tank rinsing materials shall be within the guidelines established in the State of California Department of Food and Agricultural Code or EPA regulations.
C. Equipment and Methods: Spray equipment shall be in good operating conditions, quality, and design to efficiently apply materials to the target area.
Drift will be minimized by avoiding high pressure applications and using water soluble drift agents.
27 IPage
D. Selection of Materials: Pesticides shall be selected from those materials which characteristically have the lowest residual persistence. Use of emulsifiable concentrates shall be used when possible, to limit windblown particles. The use of adjuvants will be to increase pesticide efficiency thereby reducing the total amount of technical material required to gain control.
E. Substitution: Wherever a specific type of material is specified, no substitutions shall be allowed without the written consent of the Deputy Director of Community Services or Designee.
F. Certification of Materials: All materials shall be delivered on the site in original unopened containers. Materials shall be subject to inspection by the Deputy Director of Community Services or Designee.
Pest Control
1. All areas of the landscape shall be inspected for infestations of harmful pests such as ants, insects, mites, snails, and sow bugs. Plants shall be observed closely for leaves that may be blotched, blighted, deformed, mildewed, rusted, scorched, discolored, defoliated, or wilted.
2. Identify the cause of injury and consult a Pest Control Advisor before application of chemical treatments.
A. The State of California Agricultural Code requires that toxic pest control chemicals may be used only after a written recommendation by a State of California licensed Pest Control Advisor is obtained. A recommendation consists of all the applicator should know for an accurate and safe usage.
The recommendation must be time and site specific.
B. Application of all pesticides shall be only by a properly State Licensed Pest Control Operator.
C. There shall be no application of a pesticide without written permission of the City.
D. In case a Restricted Use Pesticide is recommended, the City must have a use permit issued only by the County of Orange Agricultural Commissioner's office.
3. Contractor shall start preventative cultural methods before a pest is visible. At certain times of the year, and with certain environmental conditions, the presence of certain pests can be anticipated. Look at new growth for the presence of aphids, leaf hoppers, scale, mealy bugs, and mites. Look for ants on soil, along walks, 28IPage
and trunks of shrubs and trees. When ants are present, there will be sucking insects. Control of ants will aid in the control of plant feeding insects. Do not use toxic pesticides to control pests when predatory or parasitic insects are present.
4. Dusty foliage and warm temperatures are indicators of mites. So long as foliage is being washed, mite populations are low. Keep mite populations low to prevent plant injury. Conifers are especially susceptible and often killed by mites.
5. Bark beetles feed in the cambium of scaffold branches and trunks. Older and weaker trees are the first to be infested. Any cause of stress is caused by inspecting trees. Look for ants on the ground or in crotches of branches. Also, there may be branches dying. Control adult beetles before they lay eggs on bark in the spring. All trees near one infested the previous year should be sprayed in March and again in May. On -going inspections are necessary to determine if there is a summer brood.
6. Snails shall be controlled before becoming an epidemic. They can be anticipated as a menace from spring until the advent of high temperatures, wherever moist soil prevails. Control with weekly applications of toxic bait until the youngest brood is gone. The City will not tolerate epidemics of snails.
7. Pruning is an effective prevention of an epidemic of insects and diseases. Pruning away infected parts and disposing of them off -site separates the pest or pathogen from the host. Examples are Pine tree tip moth, Juniper twig girdler, Verticillium wilt, firelight, and some other blights of foliage.
A. Some thinning of tree foliage, to provide light and aeration for ground cover, is a type of disease prevention.
B. Use care when pruning not to spread disease by keeping all cutting edges sterile by dipping in an alcohol or bleach solution after each cut.
8. The Contractor shall establish a continuing program to control insects and rodents.
9. With the pest control program, the following information shall be provided to the City on a monthly basis:
A. The pest to be controlled
B. Method of control
C. The product labels
D. A schedule as to frequency of control
E. Applicable M.S.D.S. Sheets
F. All mandatory signage

H. Care should be taken to minimize or control use where domestic pets may come into contact with the poisons. Signage around the applied area shall be considered.
3. Exceptions: Contractor shall be allowed to use Strychnine for Rodent control without prior submittal of a written recommendation from a certified Pest Control Advisor when applied by the following:
A. All mounds and holes shall be filled and raked level 24 hours prior to treatment with bait. Soil shall be inspected for proper moisture content. Bait shall not be applied to saturated soil. All raked bare soil areas shall be re -seeded upon conclusion of treatment.
B. Equipment required for bait application shall consist of a probe, pail, tablespoon, waterproof gloves, respirator, and probing bait run.
C. Bait shall be applied in areas where active gophers/ground squirrels have created new mounds. Tunnels shall be probed to locate active runs and treated bait shall be applied in amounts specified in product label recommendations.
D. All treated bait shall be placed in the tunnel with a tablespoon or probing bait gun. Strychnine of 1.8 percent or higher shall be applied with a probing bait gun only. All holes shall then be covered. All containers shall be of the type to minimize spills. Any spilled bait shall be picked up immediately or buried in gopher hole.
4. Contractor may also, at their cost hire a licensed private pest control company to conduct rodent control in City Parks if issues require treatment beyond their scope and/or abilities. Contractor will need to provide the City company name, address, contact person, contact person's phone number, and the pest control company must make the City additionally insured per City standards before work can begin.
Any damage caused by private pest control companies shall be repaired at the landscape contractor's expense.
Failure to comply with the scope of work for pest/rodent control shall result in a performance deduction of $400 per day per incident. Payment for pest and rodent control shall be for actual quantities completed for each maintenance area. Contractor billing for this activity shall detail the specific days weed control was conducted during that billing period. Payment shall be made based on the unit bid price and actual quantities completed. 31 (Page,
