• The term “Agreement” also means “Contract.”
• LPA also means the local entity entering into this contract with the Contractor or Consultant. • The term “Small Business” or “SB” is as defined in 49 CFR 26.65.
2. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
A. DBEs and other small businesses are strongly encouraged to participate in the performance of Contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds (see 49 CFR 26: Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs).
The Consultant must ensure that DBEs and other small businesses have the opportunity to participate in the performance of the work that is the subject of this solicitation and should take all necessary and reasonable steps for this assurance. The proposer must not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of subcontracts.
B. Proposers are encouraged to use services offered by financial institutions owned and controlled by DBEs.
3. SUBMISSION OF DBE INFORMATION
If there is a DBE goal on the contract, Exhibit 10-O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment must be included in the Proposal. In order for a proposer to be considered responsible and responsive, the proposer must make good faith efforts to meet the goal established for the contract. If the goal is not met, the proposer must document adequate good faith efforts. All DBE participation will be counted towards meeting the contract goal; therefore, all DBE participation must be collected and reported.
Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Information must be included in best qualified consultant’s executed consultant contract. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, the successful proposer must execute and return the form.
4. DBE PARTICIPATION GENERAL INFORMATION

5. COUNTING DBE PARTICIPATION
Materials or supplies purchased from DBEs count towards the DBE goal under the following conditions:
A. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory, or establishment that produces on the premises the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Contract and of the general character described by the specifications.
B. If the materials or supplies purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A DBE regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the Contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a DBE regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A person may be a DBE regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section.
C. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products, any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution equipment must be, by a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not DBE regular dealers within the meaning of this section.
D. Materials or supplies purchased from a DBE, which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services
6. RESOURCES
A. The CUCP database includes the certified DBEs from all certifying agencies participating in the CUCP. If you believe a firm is certified that cannot be located on the database, please email [email protected] for assistance.
B. Access the CUCP database from the Department of Transportation, Office of Civil Rights website. For guidance on how to search for certified firms using the CUCP database, please visit: DBE Goal Setting | Caltrans

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance
City reserves the right to review any and all of the required insurance policies and/or endorsements, but has no obligation to do so. Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the performance, including any extension thereof, of this Agreement.
Consultant shall obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect during the life of this Agreement, including any extension thereof, all of the following minimum scope of insurance coverages:

The aggregate limit, encompassing the above coverage, shall apply separately to this project/location. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the specified minimum limits, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.
2. Business Automobile Liability Insurance
Business automobile liability for all owned, hired, leased, and non-owned vehicles at least as broad as the most current version of ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01, with a policy limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per accident.

3. Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance as required by the State of California and Employer’s Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for any employee or employees of Consultant. Consultant agrees to waive and to obtain endorsements from its workers’ compensation insurer waiving subrogation rights under its workers’ compensation insurance policy against the City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for the City and to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers’ compensation insurance policies.
By signing this Agreement, the Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the following:
300
I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
The Consultant shall also comply with Section 3800 of the Labor Code by securing, paying for, and maintaining in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement, complete workers’ compensation insurance, and shall furnish a certificate of insurance to the Project Manager before execution of this Agreement by the City. The City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers shall not be responsible for any claims in law or equity occasioned by failure of the Consultant to comply with this Section.
4. Professional Errors and Omissions (“E&O”) Liability Insurance
Professional errors and omissions (“E&O”) liability insurance appropriate to the Consultant’s profession, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) aggregate. The retroactive date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Consultant must purchase “extended reporting coverage” for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the Project Manager for review. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the specified minimum limits, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.
5. Standards for Insurance Companies
All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commission to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide.

1. The commercial general liability insurance policy and business automobile liability policy shall be endorsed to contain the following: The City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers are additional insureds with respect to: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the Consultant pursuant to its contract with the City; products and completed operations of the Consultant; premises owned, occupied, or used by the Consultant; and automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by the Consultant. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance at least as broad as one of the following ISO ongoing operations forms: CG 20 10 or CG 20 26 or CG 20 33 (not allowed from subcontractors), or CG 20 38; and one of the following ISO completed operations forms:

In the event of any cancellation or reduction in coverage or limits of any insurance, Consultant shall forthwith obtain and submit proof of substitute insurance. Should Consultant fail to immediately procure other insurance, as specified, to substitute for any cancelled policy or reduction in the required coverage limits, the City may procure such insurance at Consultant’s sole cost and expense.
3. The Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers. Any other insurance maintained by the City of Placentia shall be excess and not contributing with the insurance provided by this policy.
4. Any failure to comply with the reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers.
5. Defense fees and costs shall not deplete the limits of any insurance provided under this Agreement.
6. The Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

Subject: Extra Services and Fee Request – 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
Dear Chris:
Biggs Cardosa Associates is submitting this Extra Services and Fee Request as requested for engineering support during the Construction Bidding and Construction Phases of the Golden Ave. Bridge Replacement Project. The scope provided in this proposal is intended to carry the project to completion with an assumed maximum construction duration of 8 months. The Tasks are broken down and described as follows:
Construction Bidding Services
The BCA design team will aid the City during the bidding process. This assistance includes attending one Pre- Bid Construction Meeting and one additional office/ field meeting to clarify any design questions raised and found from a review of the plans prior to the beginning of construction 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 BCA 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 Contractor services identified 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 for acceptance and award, or if a rebid of the project is determined to be necessary.
Construction Phase Services
BCA will assist 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 construction (8 total) and also a total of 8 field visits is assumed for the preparation of this fee estimate. Within thirty (30) days following the completion and acceptance of the Project and receipt of the field redlined planset, the BCA team will furnish a complete set of As-BuiIts in PDF format to the City. Revisions will be clouded and 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 As-Built plans by the City, if requested 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 Exhibit A
315
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 should the scope of the changes exceed the resources allotted in this proposal.
Permitting Services
If construction is not contracted to start by March 14, 2026 and/or will not be completed by March 14, 2027, a Nationwide Permit Reverification will be required from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
As part of the 404 Nationwide Permit Reverification, the USACE will require resubmittal of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. This proposal includes an optional scope and budget to account for a 401 Water Quality Certification application and a 404 Pre-Construction Notification package, should the need arise. For more detailed scope information, please see the attached Scope of Work.
Similarly, the project’s 408 permit is set to expire in April 2026 and if construction is not finished by then an extension will be required. BCA anticipates a pro-forma extension, with minimal effort required, and no production of new design materials. We have allotted hours accordingly, in the attached fee estimate sheet.
Environmental Services
Environmental Commitments Record (ECR): It is anticipated that the environmental document will include environmental commitments that must be conducted prior to, during, and following construction.
GPA will prepare, update, and maintain the ECR and will document completion of all environmental commitments throughout the pre-construction and construction monitoring phases. GPA will update and maintain electronic and hard copies of the ECR and all documentation associated with environmental compliance.
Monitoring of ESA Fence Installation: We will monitor installation of Environmentally Sensitive Area fencing around the protected root zone of the southern California walnut trees to be protected in place.
GPA will include photos from the monitoring visit in a construction monitoring log for the project files.
Pre-Construction Surveys:
General Wildlife Survey - GPA will conduct general pre-construction surveys no more than 48 hours prior to construction to determine presence/absence of special-status wildlife within the project area. Additional surveys would be required if work is delayed for five days or more. The general wildlife survey will be conducted by one biologist and one trip to the site and assumes construction will not be delayed for five days or more after the survey is conducted.
Nesting Bird Survey - If trimming or removal of vegetation is conducted during the nesting bird season (February 1 to September 15), GPA will conduct nesting bird surveys no more than 48 hours prior to trimming or clearing activities within 500 feet of the construction area. Additional surveys would be required if trimming or removal activities are suspended for five days or more. The nesting bird survey will be conducted by one biologist and one trip to the site and assumes trimming/removal activities will not be delayed for five days or more after the survey is conducted.
Paleontological Mitigation Plan (PMP) / Native American Coordination / Pre-Grade Meeting and Resource Awareness Training: Please see the attached GPA scope, Tasks 6-8 for detailed scope information.
Agency Notifications
We will coordinate with the City to complete any required post-construction submittals and notifications.
Notifications 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. 316
Construction Monitoring
As stated in MM CUL-2 and CUL-4, archaeological monitoring will be full-time during all ground disturbing activities, and paleontological monitoring will begin when excavation reaches a depth of eight feet. GPA subconsultant DUKE CRM will provide one cross-trained archaeological/ paleontological monitor during all ground disturbing activities with the potential to impact archaeological resources. The monitor will follow construction equipment observing the freshly excavated soils. Monitoring will occur at the pace of construction.
For more detailed scope information, please see the attached GPA scope.
Compliance Report - Following the completion of paleontological/archaeological monitoring and assuming negative findings, DUKE CRM will prepare a short compliance letter report that meets Caltrans requirement for a PMR. The report will document the type of monitoring activities conducted, report any problems or issues that occurred, and state clearly that no resources were identified. It will include photographs and soils/stratigraphic discussions. The report will be submitted to the City. If significant artifacts are discovered, a more detailed report will need to be prepared; this cost is not included in this proposal. At the City’s request, a separate scope and fee proposal can be submitted for approval in the event that significant artifacts are discovered.
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 but not including the optional services described above, for a fixed base fee not to exceed $168,797. The optional services can be provided for a fixed base fee not to exceed $13,532 upon written approval by the City. A detailed breakdown of our fee proposal is attached. 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:
▪ All work described in this scope applies to the Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project only. It is assumed that any construction support work (including Environmental Services) required for the portion of the OC Loop project that will be constructed concurrently will be performed by others, in consultation with the Engineer of Record for the OC Loop project.
▪ This scope includes review of all structural shop drawings and structural submittals required by the project specifications and the Caltrans Standard Specifications including but not limited to precast girder shop drawings, bridge removal plan, pile placement plan, tubular handrail shop drawings, and precast decorative fascia shop drawings. This scope does not include review of the submittals listed in the Caltrans OSFP Information and Procedures Guide Section 5-4 that are typically reviewed and approved a t the field level (rebar shop drawings, standard falsework system shop drawings, concrete mix designs, etc). We have assumed that these field level submittals will be reviewed by the RE.
▪ It is assumed that the RE will be the lead reviewer for all roadway/civil related submittals/shop drawings , and that the design team will provide information as needed in a supporting role for up to five (5) roadway/civil related submittals/shop drawings.
317
▪ A maximum of two (2) rounds of reviews (i.e. one resubmittal) are assumed for each set of structural shop drawing submittal. The revisions required for the resubmittals are assumed to be minor and will not require another complete shop drawing review.
▪ Responding to RFIs and developing associated CCOs to address contractor errors, alternative construction method requests, or unforeseeable construction field issues (contractor scheduling, contractor equipment limitations, 3rd party coordination/limitations, undocumented existing conditions, etc.) is not included in the scope of services but can be added as Extra Work Requests as required.
▪ The USACE 408 permit extension will require only a pro -forma extension request and wi ll not require preparation and submittal of any new design materials.
▪ OC Loop reviews have been completed. If any reviews or field visits are requested, they will be considered out of scope and not included in this proposal . Requested design changes that require resources in excess of those allotted in this this proposal will be considered out of scope. ▪ 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. If requested, 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. If requested, BCA can provide additional hours to perform these duties, as additional services. ▪ 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 inst allation 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 Cardosa 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.
▪ The 404 Nationwide Permit is valid until March 14, 2026. If construction has initiated or is under contract to initiate by that date, the City has an additional 12 months to complete the project. It is assumed construction will be completed by March 14, 2027.
▪ If construction is initiated by March 14, 2026 and completed by March 14, 2027, further coordination with the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding the Water Quality Certification is not required. ▪ Per the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, a 1602 notification is not required for the project unless the 318
project changes materially from what was submitted to CDFW in 2019. Therefore, updates to the 1602 permit are not required. If requested, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost. ▪ Because the regulatory agencies update their fees annually, it is assumed that the City will be responsible for direct payment of all regulatory permitting fees associated with the project. ▪ Removal of trees that could provide potential habitat for bats was conducted as part of the OC Loop project and a bat habitat assessment prior to tree removal and tree removal monitoring is not required. If requested, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost.
▪ This scope of work includes responding to one round of comments on submittals. If responses to additional comments are requested, GPA will provide an additional scope of work and budget to support this effort. ▪ We assume that no more than eight hours will be necessary for the Native American Coordination task. If additional time is necessary, a contract amendment will be warranted. ▪ A minimum half-day charge (“show up time”) per monitor will be charged for unannounced work stoppages that are not due to actions of DUKE CRM. Overtime (greater than eight hours per day) is extra and will be billed at 1.5 times the hourly rate
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.
Sincerely,
BIGGS CARDOSA

GPA Consulting Scope of Work
Golden Avenue Bridge Replacement Project
August 2025
Task 1. Regulatory Permitting
Section 404 Nationwide Permit Reverification
If construction is not contracted to start by March 14, 2026 and/or will not be completed by March 14, 2027, a Nationwide Permit Reverification will be required from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). GPA will update the Pre-Construction Notification package as needed and resubmit the notification to the USACE. The notification will include a brief description of the project, potential impacts, measures to minimize impacts, and other pertinent project information, as required by the USACE. GPA will coordinate with the City and USACE as needed to obtain the 404 reverification.
Section 401 Water Quality Certification Application
As part of the 404 Nationwide Permit Reverification, the USACE will require resubmittal of the Water Quality Certification to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. GPA will prepare the application for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for submittal to the RWQCB. The application will include a brief description of the project, potential impacts, measures to minimize impacts, and other pertinent project information, as required by the RWQCB. GPA will coordinate with the City and RWQCB as needed to obtain the 401 Certification.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the 401 Water Quality Certification application and 404 Pre- Construction Notification package
Task 2: Environmental Commitments Record
It is anticipated that the environmental document will include environmental commitments that must be conducted prior to, during, and following construction. GPA will prepare, update, and maintain the environmental commitments record (ECR) and will document completion of all environmental commitments throughout the pre-construction and construction monitoring phases. GPA will update and maintain electronic and hard copies of the ECR and all documentation associated with environmental compliance.
Deliverables: Completed Environmental Commitments Record Task 3: Monitoring of Environmentally Sensitive Area Fence Installation GPA will monitor installation of Environmentally Sensitive Area fencing around the protected root zone of the southern California walnut trees to be protected in place. GPA will include photos from the monitoring visit in a construction monitoring log for the project files.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the construction monitoring log
OPTIONAL
325
Task 4: Pre-Construction Surveys
General Wildlife Surveys
GPA will conduct general pre-construction surveys no more than 48 hours prior to construction to determine presence/absence of special-status wildlife within the project area. Additional surveys would be required if work is delayed for five days or more. The general wildlife survey will be conducted by one biologist and one trip to the site and assumes construction will not be delayed for five days or more after the survey is conducted.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the pre-construction survey memorandum Nesting Bird Surveys
If trimming or removal of vegetation is conducted during the nesting bird season (February 1 to September 15), GPA will conduct nesting bird surveys no more than 48 hours prior to trimming or clearing activities within 500 feet of the construction area. Additional surveys would be required if trimming or removal activities are suspended for five days or more. The nesting bird survey will be conducted by one biologist and one trip to the site and assumes trimming/removal activities will not be delayed for five days or more after the survey is conducted.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the pre-construction survey memorandum Task 5: Agency Notifications
GPA will coordinate with the City to complete any required post-construction submittals and notifications. Notifications include those required by regulatory permits to document and summarize the results of pre-construction and post-construction conditions. GPA will coordinate with the City to gather and/or prepare the necessary documentation and will submit the information to the agencies, as required.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the required agency submittals and notifications (up to one post- construction memorandum)
Task 6: Paleontological Mitigation Plan
Per MM CUL-2, a Paleontological Mitigation Plan (PMP) will be prepared by a qualified Principal Paleontologist. The PMP will detail all the measures to be implemented in the event of paleontological discoveries. The PMP shall include, at a minimum, the following elements:
1. Required preconstruction paleontological awareness training for ground disturbance personnel, including documentation of training, such as sign-in sheets, to establish communications protocols between construction personnel and the Principal Paleontologist. This training can be given in person or via video.
2. Monitoring, by a qualified Paleontological Monitor shall occur for any ground disturbance east of Carbon Creek, or, as indicated by the presence of a nearby Equus fossil locality, any disturbance deeper than 8 feet below the ground surface (b.g.s.).
3. A signed repository agreement.
4. Field and laboratory methods that meet the curation requirements of the identified repository that will be implemented for monitoring, reporting, collection, and curation of collected specimens.
A Paleontological Mitigation Report (PMR) discussing findings and analysis will be prepared by a Principal Paleontologist upon completion of project earthmoving. The report will be included in the environmental Project file and also submitted to the curation facility. 326
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the PMP and PMR
Task 7: Native American Coordination
DUKE CRM will coordinate with the City representatives to assist the City to retain a local Native American Tribe for monitoring and consultation. This may include telephone conversations, video conferences, and email communications with City and Tribe, and review of documents between City and the Tribe. It is the City responsibility to contract directly with a Native American Tribe.
Task 8: Pre-Grade Meeting and Resource Awareness Training DUKE CRM will attend a pre-grade meeting will be held prior to ground disturbing activities. The City, Contractor, other sub-contractors, Native American monitor, DUKE CRM paleontologist and archaeologist will be in attendance. The Native American monitor and DUKE CRM staff will provide cultural/paleontological resource awareness training. The methods included in the PMP and communication protocols will be discussed. In addition, safety protocols for the project will also be discussed.
Task 9: Archaeological/Paleontological Monitoring
As stated in MM CUL-2 and CUL-4, archaeological monitoring will be full-time during all ground disturbing activities, and paleontological monitoring will begin when excavation reaches a depth of eight feet. DUKE CRM will provide one cross-trained archaeological/ paleontological monitor during all ground disturbing activities with the potential to impact archaeological resources. The monitor will follow construction equipment (dozers, scrapers, back hoes, etc.) observing the freshly excavated soils.
Monitoring will occur at the pace of construction. Occasionally the archaeological monitor will screen sediment for the presence of artifacts or ecofacts indicative of an archaeological site. In general, the archaeological monitor will stay at a safe distance from the construction equipment during monitoring, allowing construction to proceed at a normal pace. Occasionally the archaeological/paleontological monitor will need to inspect sediments in the area of the equipment, necessitating a temporary slowdown. However, all efforts will be made to limit slowdowns.
The archaeological/paleontological monitor will take daily photographs and maintain a daily log of monitoring activities. The daily log will include soils and stratigraphic discussion. The monitor will work under the direct supervision of the DUKE CRM project archaeologist. The archaeological/ paleontological monitor will work in coordination with the superintendent/foreman. If the archaeological/paleontological monitor discovers an archaeological/paleontological resource, he/she will notify the Project Paleontologist and/or Archaeologist, City, and Contractor, and follow the requirements in the PMP. Treatment of any discoveries will result in additional tasks not included herein and will necessitate a contract amendment.
For the purposes of this proposal, we anticipate four weeks/20 working days of ground disturbance and archaeological/paleontological monitoring. The actual number of monitoring days and the intensity (full-time, part-time, etc.) will be determined in the field and will be based on the actual schedule, sediment conditions, and assessment of the potential presence or absence of archaeological resources.
Additional monitoring will require a contract amendment. We assume negative findings for presence of archaeological and paleontological resources. This proposal does not include a Native American monitor.
If archaeological/paleontological resources are identified at any time during the project, the following tasks will likely occur and will require a contract amendment. These additional tasks would require a contract amendment.
1. All ground disturbance shall be halted. DUKE CRM shall be notified immediately. 327
2. DUKE CRM will notify the on-site Contractor, City, and Native American monitor immediately upon any such discovery. If the discovery is potentially significant, the City shall be notified.
3. The intensity of monitoring will likely need to increase (i.e., spot-check to part-time monitoring or part-time to full-time monitoring).
4. Following consultation with the City and Native Americans (as necessary), tasks that may be necessary include, but are not limited to: paleontological salvage, archaeological evaluation (testing) and/or data recovery excavation, sampling and processing, mapping, research, laboratory analysis, a detailed technical report, site records, and curation of specimens into a museum or curation facility. The level of effort for these tasks varies depending on the nature and significance of the find. All work be conducted in a manner consistent with the requirements of the PMP.
These additional tasks would require a contract amendment.
Task 5: Compliance Report
Following the completion of paleontological/archaeological monitoring and assuming negative findings, DUKE CRM will prepare a short compliance letter report that meets Caltrans requirement for a PMR.
The report will be submitted to the City. If significant artifacts are discovered, a more detailed report will need to be prepared; this cost is not included in our proposal and would require a contract amendment. If no paleontological/archaeological resources are identified during the monitoring activities, a letter report will be completed within 30 days of the completion of grading. The report will document the type of monitoring activities conducted, report any problems or issues that occurred, and state clearly that no resources were identified. It will include photographs and soils/stratigraphic discussions. All reports produced will be submitted to the City, and the SCCIC.
Deliverables: One electronic copy of the Compliance Report
ASSUMPTIONS
The 404 Nationwide Permit is valid until March 14, 2026. If construction has initiated or is under contract to initiate by that date, the City has an additional 12 months to complete the project. It is assumed construction will be completed by March 14, 2027. If updates to the 404 permit are required, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost. If construction is initiated by March 14, 2026 and completed by March 14, 2027, further coordination with the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding the Water Quality Certification is not required.
Per the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, a 1602 notification is not required for the project unless the project changes materially from what was submitted to CDFW in 2019. Therefore, updates to the 1602 permit are not required. If requested, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost.
Because the regulatory agencies update their fees annually, GPA assumes the City will be responsible for direct payment of all regulatory permitting fees associated with the project. Removal of trees that could provide potential habitat for bats was conducted as part of the OC Loop project and a bat habitat assessment prior to tree removal and tree removal monitoring is not required. If requested, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost. Construction monitoring, other than monitoring initial installation of environmentally sensitive area fencing is not required for the project. If requested, this would be provided under a separate scope and cost.
10 328
This scope of work includes responding to one round of comments on submittals. If responses to additional comments are requested, GPA will provide an additional scope of work and budget to support this effort.
We assume that no more than eight hours will be necessary for the Native American Coordination task. If additional time is necessary, a contract amendment will be warranted. A minimum half-day charge (“show up time”) per monitor will be charged for unannounced work stoppages that are not due to actions of DUKE CRM. Overtime (greater than eight hours per day) is extra and will be billed at 1.5 times the hourly rate.

Each Department Head, with the approval of the City Administrator, has the discretion to develop a more comprehensive dress code appropriate for employees’ department.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The City of Placentia is a public service delivery organization. All employees should dress appropriately for this business environment and in keeping with employees’ work assignment. Public image plays an important role in developing and maintaining support for the organization. To maintain the confidence and respect of the citizens and other customers, each employee must exercise professional judgment as they choose workplace attire.
Business Casual does not mean sloppy. Clothing should be clean, wrinkle free, and without holes and frayed areas. Uniformed employees are required to dress per department standards; all other employees may dress causal in accordance with the following guidelines:
• Neat, business casual attire.
• Casual slacks — no blue jeans except on Thursday or Friday. • No T-shirts.
• Professional business attire will be required for meetings with outside agencies or night meetings. • Please do NOT wear clothing with writing or messages, shorts, sandals for men or slippers for men or women.
• For Thursdays/Fridays ONLY blue jeans are acceptable.
City shirts are acceptable anytime.
Each employee's supervisor can make determinations as to the appropriateness of an employee's attire pursuant to this policy. If, in the opinion of the supervisor, an employee is not adhering to the intent of this policy, the supervisor will inform that person that they must dress in accordance with this policy. In severe cases, after consulting with the Department Head and the Human Resources Department, the supervisor may send the person home to change as directed. In that event, time away from work will not be considered hours worked. An employee may use PTO time, compensatory, floating holiday, or administrative leave for such time away from work. This casual dress code will be adhered to unless it is superseded by a City Administrative Policy. 361

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
Submitted by: Alice Burnett
From: Human Resources
Subject:
RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE PAY SCHEDULE FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Impact:
FY25-26 $4,500 ($9,000 annually) (104071-5005)
Summary:
To comply with the state minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2026, it is necessary to amend the pay schedule for part-time employees. It is anticipated that the cost to implement this minimum wage increase will cost the City approximately $9,000 per year in total compensation. Prorated costs in the amount of $4,500 will be funded by the General Fund for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. R-2025-68, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California amending the pay schedule for part-time employees effective January 1, 2026; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. R-2025-69, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California authorizing a budget amendment in Fiscal Year 2025-26 in compliance with City Charter of the City of Placentia §§1206 and 1209 pertaining to appropriations for actual expenditures.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved Five Year Strategic Goal 8 to Improve City Governance, under Objective 1, update all rules, policies and procedures to be consistent with MOUs and State/Federal regulations.
Discussion:
The City’s Pay Schedule for Part-Time Positions consists of non-competitive services positions that are excluded from the civil service system. California employers are governed by federal and state minimum wage laws. For 2025, the California minimum wage is $16.50.
Due to cost-of-living increase required by the State’s minimum wage law, effective January 1, 364
2026, California’s minimum wage will increase by 2.49 percent (2.49%) from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour for all employers. California Labor Code section 1182.12 requires an annual review of the wage rate using the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and rate of change over the two most recent CPI rates. According to section 1182.12(c), the adjusted minimum wage will be calculated to be the lesser of 3.5% or the rate of change. Since the California Department of Finance calculated that the CPI increased by 2.49% from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, it has been determined that the minimum wage shall be subsequently increased by 2.49% to $16.90 an hour and be effective January 1, 2026. This will affect approximately 82 part-time employees, who now earn less than $16.90 per hour in job classifications shown on the proposed resolution and pay schedule. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed part-time pay schedule to ensure all employees are paid at least the California minimum wage of $16.90 per hour.
The City plans to address the part-time salary schedule more comprehensively in the near future now that the Classification and Compensation Study has been completed.
The adoption of this resolution is necessary pursuant to the Personnel Rules and Regulations of the City of Placentia, Rule IV, Section 1, which states proposed compensation schedules must be submitted to the City Council for approval.
Fiscal Impact Summary:
This proposal will cost the City approximately $9,000 per year in total compensation. Staff requests approval of a budget amendment in the prorated amount of $4,500 from the General Fund’s fund balance for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

Summary:
Every three years the California Building Standards Commission (“CBSC”) adopts a new set of State mandated model codes to regulate development and construction projects within the State of California. These model codes are effective for all local jurisdictions unless a jurisdiction adopts local amendments to the model codes. If a jurisdiction amends the model codes, then it is the responsibility of that jurisdiction to adopt the code by reference and the applicable local amendments by January 1st of the year the model codes become effective.
With this action, the City Council will conduct a Public Hearing to consider the 2025 Fire and Building related Codes and obtain public input regarding the proposed amendments recommended by Staff. The Fire related Codes have been extensively reviewed by the City's Fire Marshal and Building related Codes by the Development Services Director and contract 371
Building Official.
A Public Hearing was conducted on November 4, 2025, and subsequent to conducting the initial Public Hearing, Ordinance No. O-2025-11, was introduced for first reading. Subsequent to conducting this second Public Hearing, Staff recommends City Council adopt Ordinance No. O-2025-11, to be effective January 1, 2026.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Open the Public Hearing concerning Ordinance No. O-2025-11; and
2. Receive the Staff Report and consider all Public Testimony; and
3. Close the Public Hearing; and
4. Find that the recommended actions are exempt from environmental review and direct Staff to file a Notice of Exemption, pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code, and the City of Placentia Local Guidelines for implementing CEQA; and
5. Waive full reading, by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. O-2025-11, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, finding that adoption of 2025 Fire, Wildland-Urban Interface Code, and the 2025 California Building related codes are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) and, repealing Chapter 18.04 of Title 18 and Chapters 20.04, 20.08, 20.12,
20.16, 20.20, 20.46, 20.48, 20.50, 20.52 and 20.54 of Title 20 and amending Title 18 by adding new Chapter 18.05, adopting the 2025 edition of the Wildland-Urban Interface Code of the Placentia Municipal Code, and adopting by reference the 2025 editions of the California Fire Code, California Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Green Building Standards Code, the 2024 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code, 2025 edition of the California Existing Building Code, 2025 edition of the California Historical Building Code, 2025 California Energy Code, including all appendices, with certain amendments, additions and deletions thereto, including fees and penalties.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved Five Year Strategic Goal 3: Promote Community and Economic Development, as this item will serve to facilitate the orderly and safe construction of buildings citywide. This item is also consistent with Goal 2: Ensure that Public Safety Continues to be a High Priority, in that updating the Fire and Building Codes will result in safer buildings and structures, reducing exposure for Fire and other City personnel in an emergency.
Discussion:
The CBSC reviews and revises the model codes that regulate development and construction projects within the State of California every three years. The new model codes are then adopted by the State. California adopted the model codes in July 2025, with an effective date of January 1, 2026. Although the models are effective without local adoption, local adoption permits a city to amend the codes to reflect local conditions. The State Fire Marshal is responsible for adopting the Fire Code updates and the City adopts the code with local amendments.
The City’s Building and Fire Authorities participated with other Orange County jurisdictions in reviewing the updated codes as adopted by the CBSC and the Fire Code as adopted by the 372
State Fire Marshal. There are a total of twelve relevant codes which have been revised for the 2025 cycle and adopted by the State as follows:
2025 California Fire Code (reviewed by City's Fire Marshal) 2025 Wildland-Urban Interface Code (reviewed by City's Fire Marshal) 2025 California Building Code (reviewed by City's contract Building Official and Development Services Director)
2025 California Residential Code (reviewed by City's contract Building Official and Development Services Director)
