The City of Pleasanton, located in Alameda County, has a population of approximately 80,000 residents. Situated at the junction of Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, the city is part of the region commonly referred to as the Tri-Valley. The Pleasanton Police Department is authorized for 118 positions, including both sworn officers and professional staff.
The Department maintains a wide-ranging inventory of military equipment; however, this equipment is not deployed on all calls for service. The Department recognizes that critical incidents are inherently unpredictable and dynamic. Access to various specialized equipment options enables incident commanders, officers, and designated units to resolve these incidents efficiently and safely. The use of military equipment is restricted to certain circumstances and, in some cases, is limited to specific trained units.
This section presents the operational use of military equipment from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Certain items, particularly consumables such as ammunition, diversionary devices, less-lethal rounds, and chemical agents, are regularly used in training to maintain proficiency; however, training usage is not captured in this report. Only the operational deployment of military equipment is included in the data presented in this Annual Military Equipment Use Report.
Outreach and Community Engagement
The Pleasanton Police Department is committed to partnering with the community to build trust and strengthen relationships. As the Department continues to enhance these connections, we strive to serve as a model of excellence and leadership in the law enforcement profession.
Equally important, we aim to provide the public with insight into how the Department operates and engages with the community.
Many items in the Department’s military equipment inventory, including the Armored Rescue Vehicle and Mobile Command Vehicle are used during outreach and community events. These opportunities promote public awareness, transparency, and education, allowing community members to see the equipment firsthand, ask questions, and engage in open dialogue about its use and necessity. By providing this insight, the Department helps the public understand the tools employed to maintain safety in the City of Pleasanton and fosters trust and accountability between law enforcement and the community.

Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A SUBDIVISION
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT WITH KL LB PROPCO IV-C LLC FOR TRACT 8724 AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF SUMMARY VACATION FOR EXCESS
PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIESSEN STREET
SUMMARY
TH Vineyard LLC (Trumark Homes), acting as the representative for property owner KL LB PROPCO IV-C LLC, processed a development application for 27 single-family homes, a private park with public access, and an open space parcel on an undeveloped former Pleasanton Unified School District (District) site located on Vineyard Avenue between Thiessen Street and Manoir Lane. The 10.3-acre property was originally intended for an elementary school and was later declared surplus by the District and sold.
The proposed development includes detached single-family homes on spacious lots. The internal roads will be privately maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA), along with a private park that abuts Old Vineyard Avenue and a public trail. The open space parcel that abuts Vineyard Avenue will be planted as a vineyard and maintained by the HOA. The storm drain system will be privately maintained, while the public water and sanitary sewer networks will be maintained by the City.
The property owner has requested that the City vacate a narrow portion of public right-of-way located on the east side of Thiessen Street, where a school drop-off zone was originally planned. This right-of-way was granted to the City when Thiessen Street was improved and is no longer needed. The surplus right-of-way will be merged with the rear yards of the adjacent homes.
Staff reviewed the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (Attachment 1), Final Map (Attachment 2), Resolution of Summary Vacation for Right of Way (Attachment 4), and Subdivision Improvement Plans (Attachment 5), and determined the documents are in substantial conformance with the entitlement approval. Staff therefore recommends approval of these documents. See Attachment 3 for the vicinity map.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with KL LB PROPCO IV-C LLC (Attachment 1).
2. Authorize the City Engineer to approve the Final Map Tract 8724 (Attachment 2).
3. Approve the Resolution of Summary Vacation for Right of Way (Attachment 4) to be vacated.
4. Authorize the City Engineer to approve the Subdivision Improvement Plans for Tract 8724 (Attachment 5).
5. Authorize the City Clerk to record the final map with the Alameda County Clerk- Recorder, including the acceptance of a Public Service Easement for utility services, a Public Access Easement for park access, a Water Line Easement, and an Emergency Vehicle Access Easement, all as offered for dedication to the City on the final map.
BACKGROUND
TH Vineyard LLC, on behalf of KL LB PROPCO IV-C LLC, processed a Design Review Approval and Vesting Tentative Map 8724 pursuant to the application filed as P24-0596 for the
10.3-acre property located on Vineyard Avenue between Thiessen Street and Manoir Lane.
Public hearings were conducted as follows.
COUNCIL ACTION
On February 18, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-007 amending the Housing Element and Land Use Element of the General Plan to allow the required 3-acre park/open space to be split into more than one area of the site (Application P24-0720).
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION
On March 18, 2025, the Zoning Administrator found the Housing Element Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adequate to serve as the environmental document for the application.
COMMISSION ACTION
On March 26, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2025-06 finding the project compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), making tentative map findings, and approving Vesting Tentative Map 8724 subject to conditions of approval.
On July 9, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2025-14 amending Vesting Tentative Map 8724 to split the required 3-acre park/open space into a 0.65 park at the rear of the site and a 2.35 open space at the front of the property.
DISCUSSION
Approval of the final map for Tract 8724, where the map substantially complies with the conditions of approval for the vesting tentative map, is a ministerial act of the City Council under California Government Code Section 66474.1. The developer provided surety bonds in conformance with California Government Code Section 66499. Submitted surety bonds assure both the developer’s performance and payment for labor and materials. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement also requires the developer to guarantee the completed improvements for a period of one year.
The storm drainage network, private roads, and common areas will be privately owned and managed by an HOA. The onsite sanitary sewer network will be public and maintained by the City. A public water main will extend into the subdivision to serve individual meters at each home. The private road will accommodate emergency vehicle access and provide space for utilities (electricity, gas, and telecommunication services).
California Streets and Highways Code §8330 et seq. prescribes the process to be used by the City to vacate the narrow portion of public right-of-way located along the east side of Thiessen Street. This process requires the City to provide formal notice to parties that may benefit from
the right-of-way, including utility purveyors operating within Pleasanton, such as PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, and others. When a right-of-way is not used for its intended purpose, state law allows a simplified “summary” vacation process. The right-of-way beneficiaries have the right to protest the planned vacation.
Staff provided formal notice to each potential right-of-way beneficiary requesting confirmation of any objection to the proposed vacation. No objections were received within the prescribed response period. The City Council, as a legislative body, has been granted the authority to summarily vacate the right-of-way that is no longer necessary or relevant.
Adoption of a Resolution of Summary Vacation for Right of Way (Attachment 4), together with the recordation of Tract Map 8724, effectuates the modification of the right-of-way.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
On March 18, 2025, the Zoning Administrator determined that the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist for the project, was adequate to serve as the environmental document for this project and satisfied all the requirements of CEQA.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Not applicable, as this item is an administrative matter of City business.
OUTREACH
Approval of the development application involved public hearings before the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission, and City Council. Condition of Approval 25 of Resolution No. PC-2025-14 requires the subdivider to notify neighbors within 300 feet of the project site of the construction schedule.
Notification letters were sent to right-of-way beneficiaries as required by California Streets and Highways Code §8335(b)(5). No beneficiary submitted an objection to the proposed right-of- way vacation.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs.
FISCAL IMPACT
This development is expected to generate the approximate revenue from impact fees:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
April 21, 2026
Public Works - Utilities Division
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO THE THIRD AMENDMENT
TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CAROLLO
ENGINEERS FOR DISINFECTION BYPRODUCT MITIGATION SERVICES IN THE KILKARE SERVICE AREA, INCREASING COMPENSATION BY $75,000 FOR A REVISED NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $1,074,750, AND APPROVE A
BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE WATER CAPITAL FUND
SUMMARY
The City of Pleasanton has an agreement with Carollo Engineers (Carollo) to support the implementation of its Water System Management Plan (WSMP). The Third Amendment, executed on March 13, 2026, increases the agreement by $75,000, for a not-to-exceed amount of $1,074,750, to provide additional professional services to implement the City’s disinfection byproduct (DBP) mitigation program in the Kilkare service area, including short- term actions and a feasibility study of long-term solutions. Because the work is time-sensitive and required to meet regulatory compliance, staff exercised the emergency procurement procedure approved by the City Council in December 2025. Staff is now requesting City Council ratification of the Third Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Ratify the Third Amendment to the agreement with Carollo Engineers to support implementation of the City’s disinfection byproduct mitigation program.
2. Approve an amendment to increase the budget for the Water Replacement Capital Improvement Program (No. 22190) project by $75,000.
BACKGROUND
The City purchases treated water from Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) and delivers it to approximately 22,000 customers through its distribution system. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) can form within the distribution system when disinfectants (primarily chlorine) react with naturally occurring organic material in treated water. Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) are specific DBPs that the California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW) regulates with Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) of 0.08 mg/L and 0.06 mg/L, respectively. City compliance is demonstrated through testing at eight monitoring locations within the distribution system, where the local running annual average (LRAA) at each monitoring location (calculated quarterly) must remain below the MCLs.
In Q2 2025, the City’s LRAA exceeded the MCLs for TTHMs and HAA5 at monitoring location S-31 in the Kilkare 1160 pressure zone (affecting approximately 200 customer services), with calculated values of 0.086 mg/L and 0.074 mg/L, respectively. Upon identifying the
exceedance, staff coordinated with the DDW, which resulted in the issuance of DDW Citation and Compliance Order No. 02 02 25J 001 (Order) on September 9, 2025. The Order required notification to affected customers and the preparation of a Corrective Action Plan and an Operational Evaluation Report (CAP/OER). The CAP/OER was submitted to DDW in November 2025 and approved in March 2026. The CAP/OER identified several factors contributing to elevated DBPs, including:
• Source Water Blend: Increased surface water from Zone 7 with high organic content in early 2025, combined with a limited groundwater supply due to the loss of City groundwater wells (normally low in organic content), resulted in higher DBP precursors entering the Kilkare system.
• Disinfection Practices: Disinfection by breakpoint chlorination at Kilkare is necessary to prevent nitrification; however, this method can accelerate DBP formation under high- organic conditions.
• Distribution System Characteristics: The Kilkare service area has long water residence times due to low customer demands and lengthy runs of piping, with multiple tanks and booster stations required to deliver water to customers at high elevations.
Long water residence times during warm weather periods increase DBP formation. • Limited Control and Predictive Information: The City currently lacks access to real- time data on Zone 7 source water quality and has no active local supply to offset source water changes.
To address these challenges, the CAP/OER identified immediate actions, short-term actions, and a feasibility study for long-term solutions focused on reducing water age, optimizing source water blends, maintaining disinfectant residuals, and improving monitoring and coordination with Zone 7. The City’s immediate actions have reduced the LRAA for TTHMs and HAA5 at monitoring location S-31 below the MCLs, with Q4 2025 calculated values of
0.079mg/L and 0.058 mg/L, respectively. Short-term actions and the feasibility study for long- term solutions are currently underway, with required completion dates of June 2026 and December 2026, respectively.
DISCUSSION
The City’s existing agreement with Carollo provides professional services in support of the Water System Management Plan (WSMP), including identifying and implementing water quality improvements. This agreement was used to have Carollo prepare the CAP/OER in response to the DDW order.
Additional support from Carollo is needed to implement the actions identified in the CAP/OER.
Services include developing standard operating procedures for DBP management, conducting hydraulic modeling to identify opportunities to reduce water age and improve source blending, and conducting a feasibility study to evaluate long-term disinfection practices and DBP control measures.
The Third Amendment increases the agreement compensation amount by $75,000 to perform these time-sensitive, compliance-driven services. Because the services are required to meet regulatory deadlines in order to continue delivering water services to the Kilkare area, the amendment was executed, and staff are now seeking formal ratification by the City Council.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Implementing the City’s CAP/OER actions supports the City’s ability to provide safe and reliable water services to the community.
OUTREACH
The City has notified impacted customers in the Kilkare service area of the DBP exceedance.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Funding our Future, Strategy 4 – Complete the Water System Management Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Third Amendment increases the agreement by $75,000, for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $1,074,750. Staff recommend that the City Council approve an amendment to increase the budget for the Water Replacement Capital Improvement Program (No. 22190) project in the Water Capital Fund (Fund 421) by $75,000.

Consistent with the City's Strategic Plan and the Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2.0, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in April 2025 for the design and delivery of comprehensive energy, gas, and water infrastructure improvements. Staff recommends awarding the RFQ to Climatec as the most qualified respondent and approve an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) to deliver turnkey development, implementation, monitoring, and funding application assistance for an Energy Infrastructure Modernization Program (the Program).
Approving an ESA with Climatec would authorize the City to begin citywide assessments and develop a preliminary scope and funding options for City Council review before any implementation work is authorized. Following City Council direction, Climatec would then complete detailed assessments and return to the City Council with an ESA amendment to authorize implementation with a not-to-exceed amount and savings guarantee.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to enter into an Energy Services Agreement with Climatec for Comprehensive Facility Improvements: Energy Efficiency and Resilience to develop an Energy Infrastructure Modernization Program.
BACKGROUND
The City's energy utility rates have increased by an average of seven percent annually over the past nine years, increasing pressure on the General Fund and making efficiency investments imperative to support ongoing and future operations. More frequent power outages and events such as wildfires highlight the need to strengthen resilience measures across City facilities. City facilities also lack the infrastructure needed to meet new and upcoming regulatory requirements.
For example, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation requires 50 percent of municipal fleet vehicle purchases to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), increasing to 100 percent beginning in 2027. The City currently lacks sufficient infrastructure to support this transition, except for a fleet charging project in design at the City Corporation Yard
in partnership with PG&E.
The City is also developing an Asset Management Plan to provide a long-term framework for planning the maintenance, renovation, repair, and/or replacement of infrastructure and public facilities to meet current and future needs. To support essential services and public safety, the City seeks to address inefficient and end-of-life assets across its portfolio, including administrative buildings, community centers, police and fire stations, parks, streets, water distribution systems, and wastewater collection systems. Continuing to operate outdated assets increases maintenance costs, utility consumption, and equipment failures, and reduces operational efficiency for City staff.
The design-build energy services method authorized under California Government Code sections 4217.10–4217.18 (GC 4217) offers a comprehensive solution for achieving efficiency and resilience while requiring the Program to pay for itself through savings. Under GC 4217, the City may procure a turnkey solution from assessments through implementation, provided that projected savings over the useful life of improvements are sufficient to cover program costs. This approach reduces financial risk, improves price and schedule certainty, and supports the timely delivery of City objectives. The City also consulted with the Fair Political Practices Commission and confirmed the Program is not prohibited under Section 1090.
DISCUSSION
Project Goals
The proposed Energy Infrastructure Modernization Program has the following goals:
• Deliver long-term cost savings and reduce operating expenditures • Upgrade and modernize City facilities and replace end-of-life assets • Enable facility upgrades that may otherwise be unfunded by leveraging grants and other external funding
• Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with energy and water use through lower consumption and improved efficiency
• Strengthen facility and infrastructure resilience during extreme events (e.g., wildfires and power outages)
• Support staff health and well-being
Competitive RFQ Process & Award
The City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Comprehensive Facility Improvements:
Energy Efficiency and Resilience in April 2025. Prior to release, the Energy and Environment Commission reviewed and provided feedback on the RFQ scope of work in January 2025. The RFQ sought qualified energy service companies with experience in developing, implementing, and monitoring GC 4217 programs.
The City received five proposals from qualified energy service companies. Climatec was selected as the most responsive and responsible bidder based on experience, references, project understanding, project team qualifications, cost and savings, and additional benefits.
Climatec meets all RFQ minimum requirements, including accreditation, licensing, bonding capacity, and a local office with trained technical staff.
Energy Services Agreement
As part of the RFQ award, the City would enter into an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) with Climatec. The ESA establishes program intent and defines a structured step-by-step process for conducting citywide assessments and developing an Energy Infrastructure Modernization Program to meet the City’s objectives. Program development will be conducted in two phases:
Preliminary Assessment (PA) and Detailed Assessment (DA), as outlined in the ESA. This ESA authorizes assessment and program development only; implementation would require future City Council action to approve an ESA amendment with a not-to-exceed amount and a savings guarantee.
Preliminary Assessment (PA)
After approval of the ESA Climatec will complete a baseline analysis of the City’s utility consumption and conduct citywide engineering site assessments of energy, gas, and water infrastructure. The site assessments will support the City’s Asset Management Plan by evaluating asset age, condition, efficiency ratings, and modernization needs.
Services include engineering assessments of HVAC systems, LED lighting, building automation systems, building envelope, solar and battery storage, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, irrigation systems, and water/wastewater systems. Climatec will develop inventory databases and needs matrices, prepare aerial layouts for renewable energy installations, and develop funding options and pro formas in collaboration with staff based on the City's needs and preferences.
PA findings will be presented to the City Council for direction on desired program scope and funding parameters.
Detailed Assessment (DA)
After the City Council confirms the desired program scope, Climatec will complete a DA, including in-depth engineering site assessments and due diligence to finalize a not-to-exceed price, savings projections, detailed scope of work, and technical specifications. Following completion of the DA and confirmation of the funding plan, the ESA would be amended to include implementation terms and scope details. A future City Council action item to consider authorizing an ESA amendment for implementation is anticipated to occur by June 30, 2027.
Funding
A funding plan will be developed for the project. Funding plan objectives are:
• Lower utility and maintenance costs
• Reduce General Fund and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget pressure • Generate a net positive return for the General Fund
The Program will prioritize funding sources outside the General Fund, including but not limited to:
• Inflation Reduction Act incentives
• Municipal lease-purchase financing
• State and federal grants
• Local utility programs
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Program supports the City's CAP 2.0 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency measures, renewable energy installations, and facility modernization. The Program is expected to reduce operational cost, improve infrastructure resilience, and enhance indoor environmental quality equitably across all City facilities. These outcomes advance the City’s sustainability goals and support applicable state energy requirements.
OUTREACH
The City advertised the RFQ in April 2025 in accordance with standard procedures. The Energy and Environment Commission also provided feedback on the RFQ scope of work in January 2025, prior to its issuance, which provided an opportunity for public comment.
As program direction is refined, the City will engage with appropriate stakeholder groups. If the City Council elects to proceed with implementation, a public hearing will be conducted in accordance with California Government Code Section 4217. If approved, Climatec would support ongoing communication regarding major milestones and savings performance (e.g., press releases, a program website or microsite, community meetings, and City Council updates).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of the RFQ award and authorization of the ESA with Climatec advances the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goals and strategies, including:
• Funding Our Future Strategy 1: Develop a long-term strategy for funding operations and maintenance needs of community-owned facilities and infrastructure. The Program is intended to reduce operating cost pressures by implementing energy-saving measures that generate guaranteed savings to help offset infrastructure investment costs.
• Investing in Our Environment Strategy 2: Develop an Asset Management Plan to address comprehensive long-term planning for maintenance, renovation, repair, and/or replacement of infrastructure and public facilities. The Program also advances the City’s CAP 2.0 through energy efficiency and resilience measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmental stewardship.
• Safeguarding Our City Strategy 1: Assesses the City’s overall emergency preparedness capabilities, resources, and tools and implements changes as needed to ensure the City is properly positioned to respond to disasters.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time. Under the ESA, Climatec will perform the site assessments and program development at its own risk and at no cost to the City ($0). This action does not authorize implementation work. Subject to separate City Council approval, the ESA would be amended to include a not-to-exceed turnkey price, with Climatec serving as the design-build contractor.
The turnkey implementation price would include Climatec’s five percent profit fee and recovery
of costs incurred during program development. If the City elects not to proceed with Climatec for implementation, no exit fees or penalties would apply.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
April 21, 2026
Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MAINTENANCE AND TRADE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ADVANCED LIGHTING SERVICES, INC.
FOR LIGHT POLE TESTING AND REPLACEMENT SERVICES, IN A TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $2,175,000 FOR THE REMAINDER OF FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2025/26 THROUGH FY 2028/29, WITH THE OPTION FOR TWO
ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS
SUMMARY
The City of Pleasanton maintains approximately 12,996 streetlights, parking lots, and pathway light poles throughout the community. These assets support public safety, traffic operations, pedestrian visibility, and overall infrastructure reliability.
The City also partners with the Hacienda Business Park Owners Association through a City Council-approved Special Maintenance District program. Under this program, the City may procure materials through existing City contracts, with full reimbursement provided by Hacienda. This collaboration supports efficient, cost-effective maintenance within the Hacienda Business Park area.
To proactively address aging light pole infrastructure and reduce the risk of failures, staff conducted a competitive procurement for streetlight pole testing, structural assessments, and replacement services. In February 2026, the City issued Request for Bids (RFB) No. PWD
26.402 seeking qualified contractors to perform ultrasonic testing, documentation, and GIS integration, condition assessment reporting, and replacement of deteriorated or structurally deficient light poles.
Advanced Lighting Services, Inc., was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff recommends approval of an agreement for services for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 and a subsequent three-year term for FY 2026/27 through FY 2028/29, in a total not to exceed $2,175,000, with the option for two additional one-year extensions up to five years, subject to satisfactory performance and budget appropriation.
This program supports proactive infrastructure management, improves public safety, and enables timely response to emergency light pole failures and vehicle knockdowns.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Maintenance and Trade Services Agreement with Advanced Lighting Services, Inc. for light pole testing and replacement services (RFB No. PWD 26.402) in a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,275,000 for the remainder of FY 2025/26 through FY 2028/29.
2. Authorize the City Manager to exercise up to two (2) additional one-year extensions up
to five years through April 21, 2031, subject to satisfactory performance and budget appropriation, in an annual amount not to exceed $450,000, including inflation, without going back to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The City’s light pole inventory includes streetlights, parking lot lights, and pathway lights installed over several decades. Many poles have reached or exceeded their anticipated service life. Over time, weather exposure, corrosion, underground deterioration, and vehicle impacts can compromise structural integrity and increase the risk of pole failure.
To proactively manage these risks and maintain safe lighting infrastructure, the Public Works Department conducts periodic inspections and structural testing. Ultrasonic testing evaluates pole condition at the ground line, where corrosion most frequently occurs and where failures often originate. Testing identifies remaining wall thickness, corrosion percentage, and internal defects, to inform decisions for repairs or replacement.
In February 2026, the City issued Request for Bids (RFB) No. PWD 26.402 to secure a qualified contractor capable of performing light pole testing, reporting, GIS integration, emergency response, and replacement services.
The RFB was publicly advertised in accordance with City purchasing requirements, and the City held a mandatory pre-bid conference. Bids were opened and processed in accordance with City procurement procedures and evaluated for responsiveness and bidder responsibility, including required licensing, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration, safety compliance, and experience performing similar municipal pole testing and replacement work.
DISCUSSION
Based on the bid results, Advanced Lighting Services, Inc., was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and met all required licensing, safety, and experience requirements.
The proposed agreement establishes a comprehensive light pole inspection and replacement program that includes structural testing, condition assessments, documentation, standardized reporting, and replacement services necessary to maintain safe and reliable lighting infrastructure throughout the City.
Under the agreement, the contractor will perform ultrasonic testing of designated light poles to evaluate structural integrity and identify corrosion or internal deterioration that may not be visible during routine inspections. Results will be provided in standardized reports and integrated into the City’s GIS and asset management systems to support long-term infrastructure planning.
When light poles are identified as structurally compromised or deteriorated beyond acceptable thresholds, the contractor will provide removal and replacement services consistent with City standards.
Deliverables will include pole identification, GPS coordinates, corrosion levels, recommended
corrective actions, and photo documentation to support recordkeeping, asset management, and long-term capital improvement needs.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Reliable public lighting supports equitable access to transportation corridors, pedestrian pathways, parks, and public facilities. Well-maintained lighting infrastructure enhances safety for residents and visitors across all neighborhoods. Proactive testing and pole replacement reduce the likelihood of unexpected outages and improve community safety.
To the extent LED lighting replacements occur under this agreement, the work supports the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0), specifically “Materials & Consumption Strategy MC-2:
Enhance sustainable production and reduce consumption.”
OUTREACH
The Request for Bids was publicly advertised with City purchasing requirements. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held to provide project information and ensure all bidders had equal access to the same information.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing in Our Environment: Strategy 7 — continue to invest in parks, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure, and public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase equitable access to cultural and recreational opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total not-to-exceed amount for the agreement for the remainder of FY 2025/26 and the subsequent three-year fiscal term from FY 2026/27 through FY 2028/29 is $2,175,000, including approximately $75,000 in FY 2025/26 and an annual not-to-exceed amount of $400,000 in FY 2026/27, FY 2027/28, and FY 2028/29, and an annual not-to-exceed amount of $450,000 per year if the two additional one-year extensions are exercised, not to exceed five years.
Funding for the agreement is budgeted and available in the Internal Services Fund (519), Streetlight Pole Replacement (51940135–430107 & 440104), and Special Revenue Fund (128) for Hacienda Business Park Association (12840103–420101 & 440104). Services will be performed on a time-and-material or task-authorization basis as authorized by the Public Works Department.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
April 21, 2026
Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MAINTENANCE AND TRADE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TRI-SIGNAL INTEGRATION, INC. FOR
FIRE ALARM MAINTENANCE, MONITORING, INSPECTION/TESTING, AND REPAIR SERVICES, IN A TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $440,000 FOR THE REMAINDER OF FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2025/26 THROUGH FY 2028/29, WITH
THE OPTION FOR TWO ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS
SUMMARY
The City of Pleasanton owns and operates 31 municipal facilities equipped with fire alarm and fire suppression systems that require routine inspection, testing, monitoring, and maintenance to ensure compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 72), the California Fire Code, and other applicable regulations. Maintaining these life-safety systems is critical to protecting occupants, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting uninterrupted City operations.
On January 28, 2026, the City issued Request for Bids (RFB No. PWD 26.401) for fire alarm maintenance, monitoring, inspection/testing, and repair services. Consistent with the RFB’s evaluation criteria, Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. was determined to be the best-value bidder, based on responsiveness to bid requirements and demonstrated qualifications, experience, and cost.
Staff recommends approval of an agreement for services for the remainder of FY 2025/26 and a subsequent three-year fiscal term for FY 2026/27 through FY 2028/29, in a total not-to- exceed amount of $440,000, with the option for two additional one-year extensions up to five years, subject to satisfactory performance and budget appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Maintenance and Trade Services Agreement with Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. for fire alarm maintenance, monitoring, inspection/testing, and repair services (RFB No. PWD 26.401) in a total not-to-exceed amount of $240,000 for the remainder of FY 2025/26 through FY 2028/29.
2. Authorize the City Manager to exercise up to two (2) additional one-year extensions up to five years through April 21, 2031, subject to satisfactory performance, budget appropriation, and an annual amount not to exceed $100,000, including inflation, without going back to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The City is responsible for maintaining fire alarms and associated fire suppression systems at critical facilities citywide, including but not limited to the Police Department, five Fire Stations,
Civic Center, Senior Center, Veterans Memorial Building, Pleasanton Library, Operations Service Center, Firehouse Arts Center, Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center (DBAC), and Alviso Adobe Community Park.
These systems must be routinely inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 25, the California Fire Code, and other applicable regulations.
The required services include 24/7 monitoring, quarterly and annual inspections and testing, preventive maintenance, and on-call repair services. Facilities, including the Operations Service Center, Library, and Police Department, will be incorporated into the agreement as upgrades are completed.
Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. was selected as the best-value bidder based on the evaluation criteria and the firm’s responsiveness to the bid requirements, demonstrated qualifications, experience, and cost.
DISCUSSION
The proposed agreement provides comprehensive fire alarm services at City facilities, including inspection, testing, maintenance, monitoring, and repair. Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and demonstrated the ability to provide NFPA-compliant inspections and testing; provide preventive maintenance and component repairs; respond to emergencies 24/7; deliver continuous UL 827-compliant monitoring and alarm coordination; and support system upgrades and code compliance in coordination with the Fire Marshal.
Fire alarm systems are a critical life-safety infrastructure. Ongoing maintenance helps protect occupants and staff, supports regulatory compliance, reduces liability and risk exposure, and improves the reliability of City facilities and services. Given the age of certain facilities and ongoing modernization efforts, a qualified contractor is essential to sustain long-term system performance and asset reliability.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
This agreement supports equitable access to safe public facilities by ensuring that City buildings, including public safety, recreation, and community service buildings, remain protected by fully functional life-safety systems. Maintaining code-compliant fire alarm systems promotes long-term infrastructure reliability and risk reduction.
OUTREACH
The Request for Bids was publicly advertised on the City’s website and BidNet Direct. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held to provide project information and ensure all bidders had equal access to the same information.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action supports the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing in Our Environment by maintaining safe, reliable, and well-managed public facilities and infrastructure.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total not-to-exceed amount for the agreement for the remainder of FY 2025/26 and the subsequent three-year fiscal term from FY 2026/27 through FY 2028/29 is $440,000, including approximately $15,000 in FY 2025/26 and an annual not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 in FY 2026/27, FY 2027/28, and FY 2028/29, and an annual not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 if the two additional extensions are exercised, not to exceed five years.
Funding for the agreement is included in the General Fund Facilities Maintenance & Operations operating budget (00140301-420101 and 00140301-430107), Miscellaneous Repairs and Maintenance Contracts, and Contract Services. Additional funding is available through the Internal Services Fund, Facilities Renovations and Replacement (51540132- 430107).

• To the greatest extent possible, a landscape area shall be found with sufficient capacity to contain the AFS discharge without eroding the surface and discharging sediment across pedestrian areas • The AFS discharge water shall flow through a mat containing sodium thiosulfate tablets (or equivalent) before flowing to a landscaped area in case some of the water overflows to the storm drain or MS4. Discharges to the storm drain or MS4 are not allowed if the AFS water contains visible amounts of suspended material/dirt/oxidation.
• An energy dissipation device shall be employed as needed to prevent harm to the landscape and prevent sediment loss and runoff to the storm drain.
• If AFS water contains visible amounts of suspended solids (oxidized materials/dirt/etc), fire system discharge must be contained and discharged to the sanitary sewer. All AFS water must be contained in an appropriate tank or tanker truck. Collected AFS discharge water shall be lawfully discharged in the sanitary sewer at a rate not to exceed the hydraulic capacity or causing a sanitary sewer overflow.
• Fire sprinkler discharge water may be released into a vegetated area under the following conditions:
o Infiltrate flows into a suitable landscape area without causing erosion or runoff o All storm drain drop inlets (SDDI) in the immediate area must be covered/protected with filter device to prevent sediment runoff from entering SDDI o If runoff occurs with visible amounts of suspended solids (oxidized material/dirt/etc.) all water must be captured and returned to vegetated area

• All personnel assigned to this facility must complete background checks through the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security
• Fingerprinting appointments must be scheduled at least two weeks before work begins • Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering secured areas
Proximity ID Cards & Keys
Most buildings are fitted with a City Proximity (Prox) card system that allows access without keys.
Internal doors will require a key for individual room access.
An alarm access code and photo ID Prox Card will be issued to each employee. These are issued to the individual and MUST NOT BE SHARED. Sharing of alarm codes or Prox cards is grounds for immediate termination of the contract.
The Contractor shall be responsible for completing a Prox Card Request form for each employee (provided by the City) to ensure that each employee is photographed and that a Prox ID card is issued before their work in the city can begin. The Contractor shall also notify the City immediately upon an employee's termination and submit the Prox ID card for destruction. The Contractor shall provide an annual staff roster to ensure only those currently employed by the Contractor have access to city facilities.
Non-employees or family members will NOT be allowed in any City facility at any time. Only authorized Contractor employees may be present during hours of service.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
April 21, 2026
Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO THE FIRST AMENDMENT
TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CARLSON
MANAGEMENT, INC. FOR STAFF AUGMENTATION AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR AN ADDITIONAL $187,500, REVISING THE TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT TO $470,000, AND EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT THROUGH DECEMBER 2026
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Carlson Management, Inc. to continue providing construction management services in support of critical City infrastructure projects. The amendment is necessary to maintain progress on projects currently under construction and to continue advancing projects currently in design until vacant positions within the Public Works Engineering Division are filled. The recommended amendment will be funded using salary savings from the vacant positions, and once the positions are filled, these services will be terminated.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Carlson Management, Inc. for staff augmentation and construction management services for an additional $187,500, revising the total not-to-exceed amount to $470,000, and extending the term of the agreement through December 2026.
BACKGROUND
On May 6, 2025, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Carlson Management, Inc., for staff augmentation and construction management services, with a not- to-exceed amount of $282,500, to provide additional support until vacant positions within the Public Works Engineering Division are filled.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Engineering Division currently has two critical vacancies: a Senior Civil Engineer overseeing the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and an Associate Civil Engineer.
As the 2026 construction season begins, several projects are already underway or approaching key milestones, including the completion of design for the West Las Positas Multimodal project, Sycamore Creek Storm Drain Improvements, and Valley Avenue Sound wall construction, as well as the design of projects resulting from the 2023 winter storms in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
These efforts were previously managed by an Associate Civil Engineer. To maintain project schedules and ensure sufficient construction inspection coverage, it is essential to backfill the vacancies and add additional inspection capacity. Because work is already underway and FEMA-related storm recovery projects include time-sensitive application and documentation
requirements, activities cannot be paused. The remaining staff do not have sufficient capacity to absorb this workload, as other critical projects are also entering construction or are under design.
Carlson Management proposes providing Bill Carlson to support both the Associate Civil Engineer and the Senior Civil Engineer roles, with responsibility for CIP oversight. Mr. Carlson is familiar with the City's policies and procedures, has been providing staff augmentation services within the Engineering Division, and can continue supporting ongoing projects without interruption.
Recruitments to fill the vacant positions are underway. However, due to an industry-wide shortage of qualified engineers, the hiring process is expected to take longer than usual.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
This recommendation was developed in accordance with the City’s Procurement Policy and previously City Council-approved purchasing and contracting provisions.
OUTREACH
No outreach was completed as this is a routine matter of City business.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 1: Implement the Four-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete the design and construction of budgeted capital projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested amendment will be funded through salary savings from the vacant Senior Civil Engineer and Associate Civil Engineer positions within the Public Works operating budget for professional services. The First Amendment will increase the agreement by a not-to-exceed amount of $187,500, for a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $470,000. Once the vacant positions are filled, the contract will be terminated.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
April 21, 2026
Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS; AUTHORIZE AN AGREEMENT WITH
THE ALAMEDA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR FUEL MANAGEMENT
SERVICES FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $600,000; APPROVE A THIRD AMENDMENT WITH SEQUOIA ECOLOGICAL CONSULTING, INC. FOR $87,470, AND EXTEND THE TERM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THROUGH CONSTRUCTION; AND ADOPT A
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PROJECT-SPECIFIC ANALYSIS AND
ADDENDUM TO THE CALIFORNIA VEGETATION TREATMENT PROGRAM
PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE AUGUSTIN BERNAL FUEL MANAGEMENT (CIP NO. 25783)
SUMMARY
In December 2025, the City completed a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)- compliant Project-Specific Analysis (PSA) and Addendum to the CAL FIRE Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for fuel management in and adjacent to Augustin Bernal Community Park (CIP No. 25783). The Project’s goal is to create and maintain a reduced-fuel zone that supports fire suppression, reduces fire intensity, and limits ladder fuels within the fuel break and wildland-urban interface (WUI).
In early 2026, staff coordinated with the Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) to define the initial scope of work, complete Project Plans and Specifications, and draft an Agreement for Fuel Management Services (Agreement). Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. (Sequoia) also submitted a Third Amendment for construction management and environmental services.
The proposed Agreement would provide an ACFD fuel management crew at $60,000 per week in an amount not to exceed $600,000, and would prioritize establishing a 50-foot firebreak/fuel management zone along trails and adjacent to the rear of the Golden Eagle Estate residential properties. ACFD staff has reviewed the agreement and is scheduling a date to take it to their Board for approval.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Agreement, including authorization for the Director of Public Works to approve change orders up to $50,000, if needed; approve a Third Amendment with Sequoia; and adopt a resolution adopting the PSA and Addendum. All project costs associated with these actions are fully reimbursable through the CAL FIRE grant. Work is anticipated to begin in May 2026 and be completed by the end of 2027, subject to crew availability.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Plans and Specifications for the Augustin Bernal Fuel Management Project
(CIP No. 25783).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with the ACFD for fuel management services in an amount not-to-exceed $600,000.
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to approve and execute contract change order(s) to the Agreement, if needed, up to a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000.
4. Authorize the City Manager to approve a Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Sequoia in the amount of $87,470 (revised total contract not-to-exceed $259,955) and extend the agreement term through December 31, 2027.
5. Adopt a resolution adopting the CalVTP Project—Specific Analysis and Addendum to the PEIR for the project; findings of fact; and a statement of overriding considerations (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
On January 17, 2024, the City was awarded a $1,048,900 non-matching grant through the CAL FIRE California Climate Investments Wildfire Prevention Grants Program to reduce fuels on approximately 125 acres in and around Augustin Bernal Community Park.
On June 16, 2024, the City awarded Sequoia a Professional Services Agreement to prepare California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation for the project, including a PSA and Addendum to the CalVTP.
In December 2025, the City completed the PSA and Addendum. The CEQA documents evaluated up to 162 acres of potential fuel management area, providing implementation flexibility while supporting the CAL FIRE grant objective of 125 acres of fuel reduction.
In January 2026, City and Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) staff met with the ACFD fuel management crew to confirm priority treatment areas and an implementation approach consistent with the CEQA documents. In March 2026, staff completed Phase 1 plans and specifications, prepared the draft Agreement with ACFD, and received Sequoia’s Third Amendment for construction management and environmental services.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Agreement would provide an ACFD fuel management crew at $60,000 per week, in an amount not to exceed $600,000. Priority work would establish a 50-foot firebreak/fuel management zone along trails and adjacent to the rear of the Golden Eagle Estate residential properties. Treatments include hand removal of vegetation under six inches in diameter to near ground level, tree pruning to reduce ladder fuels, and selective shrub treatment using mosaicing (removing some vegetation while preserving others) to improve fuel break effectiveness and emergency access. Because the work is hand labor and site-specific, the initial effort is estimated to take 8-10 weeks.
Work is anticipated to begin in May 2026, subject to crew availability and potential redeployment to active fires. The Agreement term runs through December 31, 2027, to provide scheduling flexibility.
Implementation will occur in phases to align with available grant funding and the CAL FIRE grant objective:
• Phase 1: Establish a 50-foot firebreak and treat approximately 50 acres • Phase 2: Treat approximately 25 acres and expand clearance along trails to 100 feet by removing woody understory vegetation and pruning trees to reduce ladder fuels • Phase 3: Treat approximately 50 acres and expand clearance to 200 feet, with lighter treatment focused on reducing ladder fuels, removing dead woody material, and thinning dense pockets of vegetation
Sequoia and LPFD estimate that the County crew costs roughly half as much as private fuel management crews. Even at the lower rate, the hand labor needed to clear the fire break is significant, requiring the City to phase the work to maximize available grant funds.
The grant performance period extends through March 15, 2029. There may be opportunities to accomplish additional work within the existing grant, such as reallocating funds for fuel management maintenance equipment. Staff will evaluate the best path forward once the priority work is complete.
The City also intends to apply for CAL FIRE’s next grant cycle, anticipated to open in Spring 2026. Because the upcoming allocation prioritizes projects already underway, the Augustin Bernal Fuel Management project is well-positioned to secure additional funding. Staff has also confirmed with CAL FIRE that, due to rising fuel management costs and the need for hand labor, the City will not be penalized if the full 125 acres are not completed, provided grant funds are used responsibly to address the scope of work identified in the grant.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction Project (Project) includes work in a critical watershed area and along major transportation routes, including Interstate 680 (I- 680). The Project reduces wildfire risk and the potential for wildfire-related disruptions to critical services and community facilities.
The project includes fuel reduction and environmental monitoring. In collaboration with the City, LPFD, ACFD, Golden Eagle Estates, the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), and community members, the Project is expected to:
• Reduce woody and vegetative biomass available for combustion and conversion to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) through unplanned combustion processes such as wildfires
• Reduce the likelihood of uncontrolled wildfires starting in or spreading into Augustin Bernal Community Park and surrounding communities
• Improve defensible space around nearby residential areas • Improve evacuation routes, firefighter access, and anchor points.
Treatments proposed in the PSA are designed to reduce hazardous fuels while minimizing environmental impacts on wildlife and protected plants, consistent with the CalVTP. Vegetation management would create shaded fuel breaks and reduce WUI fuel across up to 162 acres as part of a regional effort.
OUTREACH
Staff coordinated with ACFD and LPFD on treatment priorities and implementation approach.
Project coordination also included Golden Eagle Estates, the EBRPD, and community members as part of ongoing planning and implementation.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 7 – Continue to invest in parks, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase equitable access to cultural and recreational opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Third Amendment to the Sequoia Professional Services Agreement increases the not-to- exceed amount by $87,470, which includes $78,874 for project management and $8,596 in public outreach as an optional service if warranted, bringing the total Sequoia contract amount to a not-to-exceed $259,955 (Attachment 2). The proposed ACFD Agreement (Attachment 4) is for an amount not to exceed $600,000, with authorization for up to an additional $50,000 in change orders, if needed. All costs associated with these actions are fully reimbursable under the CAL FIRE grant. Funding and anticipated expenditures are detailed in Attachment 3.
