12. Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution of the City of Poway, California, to Approve Citywide Fee Updates
Mayor Vaus opened the Public Hearing at 7:19 p.m.
Director of Finance Craig Schmollinger presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Schmollinger stated a Citywide comprehensive Master Fee Schedule study was last completed in December 2007; he noted various incremental fee adjustments had occurred since that time however updates provided no inflationary adjustment to keep up with the cost of providing the services over the years. He explained the proposed update was based on a two-phase project conducted by Matrix Consulting. The first phase was the completion of a Cost Allocation Plan update which occurred in December 2025.
Mr. Schmollinger explained the study reviewed nearly 500 fees, resulting in updates to over 800 fees and fee components through consolidation, restructuring, and cost adjustments. He noted the analysis incorporated full cost accounting, including staff time, salaries, benefits, overhead, and service costs, and identified an overall Citywide cost recovery rate of approximately 59 percent, representing an estimated $2.2 million gap between current fee revenues and the full cost of providing services.
Mr. Schmollinger stated the proposal included policy considerations balancing full cost recovery with maintaining reasonable access to City services. He explained the recommendations distinguished between individual user-benefit services and broader community benefits, with partial cost recovery recommended for certain community and discretionary services and full cost recovery generally applied to development-related services. He further noted the recommendation sought to provide subsidies in certain areas to avoid creating financial barriers which could potentially limit community use.
Mr. Schmollinger explained the update included annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflationary adjustments beginning on an annual basis starting July 1, 2027 with increases capped at five percent, including a recommendation to conduct a study update every five to seven years.
Mr. Schmollinger noted the proposal included a 60-day implementation period following adoption to allow for system updates, website modifications, and public communication efforts, with the updated fees becoming effective on July 20, 2026.

End of Public Comment.
Mayor Vaus closed the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Council discussion ensued. Council expressed appreciation to staff for the comprehensive fee update, noting it improves cost recovery transparency and aligns City fees more closely with service costs and typical jurisdictional practices.
Responding to Council questions, staff clarified appeals of staff decisions may be filed by both residents and developers, with a current fee of $765 proposed to increase to $1,500. Council discussed distinguishing between residential and development-related appeals and supported an amendment modifying the fee categories, so the lower fee applies to residents and applicants for single-family homes, and the higher fee applies to applicants of non residential projects and residential developments of two or more units.
Council emphasized the adjustments are cost-based fees rather than taxes and expressed support for maintaining lower impacts on individual residents while ensuring appropriate cost recovery from development and commercial applicants.
Motioned by Councilmember De Hoff, seconded by Councilmember Pikus to adopt Resolution No. 26-016 entitled "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Amending the Master Fee Schedule as Included In Exhibit A", amended to modify the fee category for "Appeals to City Council" so that the fee for residents and applicants for single family homes is $765, and an the updated fee for applicants of non-residential and residential developments of two or more units "Appeals to City Council" at the updated fee amount of $1,500 per occurrence.

13. Public Hearing and Resolution Adopting the City of Poway's 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
Mayor Vaus opened the Public Hearing at 7:42 p.m.
Utilities Administrator Carlos Cortes presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Cortes explained the Urban Water Management Plan is a state-mandated planning document that evaluates the City's water supply and demand over a 25-year planning horizon and includes the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
Mr. Cortes stated the City is required to update and adopt the plans every five years and submit the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan to the California Department of Water Resources by July 1, 2026. He noted the plans are 7 of 25
August 18, 2026, Item #2
City of Poway -Minutes -May 19, 2026
required to maintain eligibility for certain state grant funding and the City remains in compliance with applicable water use efficiency requirements.
Mr. Cortes reported the City currently serves approximately 14,500 service connections with a service area population of 49,335. He noted recent trends show declining per-capita water use and stated projected water demands are expected to remain generally stable through 2050.
Mr. Cortes explained that approximately 97 percent of the City's water supply is imported through the San Diego County Water Authority, whose supplies are sourced from the Colorado River, the State Water Project (SWP), and local water supplies. He noted no water supply shortages are anticipated during projected dry-year scenarios. He also reviewed the City's ongoing water conservation and water shortage response programs.
Public Comment.
None.
End of Public Comment.
Mayor Vaus closed the Public Hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Council discussion ensued. Responding to Council questions, staff clarified that the gallons per-capita-per-day metric reflects the average amount of potable water consumed per resident each day, including irrigation where potable water is used. Staff further noted water use audits are available through partner agencies, and a substantial number were conducted during the previous five-year planning period.
Council expressed support for the City's long-term water reliability planning and ongoing conservation and efficiency efforts, noting the importance of maintaining reliable water service during projected drought conditions.
Motioned by Mayor Vaus, seconded by Councilmember Pikus to approve necessary changes, and adopt Resolution No. 26-017 entitled "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Adopting the City of Poway's 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and 2025 Urban Water Management Plan", and authorizing staff to incorporate approved changes and submit the plans to the Department of Water Resources and to the California State Library.

21. Resolution Amending the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program List of Projects for Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2028-29; and Resolution Adopting the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program List of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 Mayor Vaus opened the Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m.
City Engineer Tracy Beach presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation. She explained the first action was an amendment to the 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) list of projects, funded through the TransNet half-cent sales tax program approved by San Diego County voters in 2004. Ms. Beach further noted local jurisdictions are required to adopt a five-year project list every two years, and that the current list was approved by the City Council on May 7, 2024.
Ms. Beach reported the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG) recently adjusted revenue projections and now requires additional funds to be programmed by Council resolution. The amended list updates funding allocations for the current fiscal year, revises projections through Fiscal Year 2029, and reallocates unused funds from completed projects to ongoing RTIP projects. The City of Poway is estimated to receive approximately $11 million for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029.
The second action was the 2027 five-year RTIP project list. Ms. Beach stated the City is anticipated to receive just over $11.5 million over the next five years for local transportation projects. She noted 30% of funding may be used for street maintenance, while 70% is allocated to eligible capital projects, including new or expanded facilities and major roadway rehabilitation and reconstruction. The proposed project list includes full funding for the annual street overlay project, partial funding for the annual street maintenance project, and full funding for traffic signal software maintenance. Ms. Beach also highlighted recently completed 15 of 25

End of Public Comment.
Mayor Vaus closed the Public Hearing at 7: 13 p.m.

City of Poway -Minutes -June 16, 2026
Council expressed support for the proposed budget, noting it reflects continued investment in core services, infrastructure, and long-term fiscal discipline. Council emphasized budget decisions reflect deliberate policy choices and confidence in the City's approach to maintaining service levels while preserving financial stability. In addition, Council recognized the Budget Review Committee for their role in review of the budget and unanimous recommendation.
Responding to Council questions, Finance Director Schmollinger explained variances in departmental budgets are primarily the result of a revised cost allocation methodology, with costs now fully presented in the General Fund and offset through indirect cost recovery from enterprise funds.
Responding further, staff noted the City's ten-year forecast, including modeling of major contracts such as law enforcement services, indicates the City remains well-positioned to manage anticipated cost adjustments while maintaining core services.
Council discussed additions to staffing, recognized positions related to succession planning, state mandates, and expanded maintenance and community service needs as targeted operational investments. Council highlighted capital investments in parks, recreation facilities, and infrastructure through the Capital Improvement Program, noting continued implementation alongside fiscal stability and no tax increases and acknowledged regional fiscal pressures in other jurisdictions and emphasized the City's financial discipline in maintaining investment in public safety, infrastructure, and community services.

CITY COUNCIL
Award of Agreement to CAPO Projects Group, LLC for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Emergency Interconnection No.1, RFP No. 26-005 A request for proposals (RFP) for Construction Management & Inspection (CM&I) Services for Emergency Interconnection No.1, RFP No. 26-005, was duly advertised on August 14 and August 21, 2025. Six (6) proposals were received on September 16, 2025. Staff reviewed the proposals submitted and recommend CAPO Projects Group, LLC (CAPO) as the consulting firm to provide the CM&I Services for the City of Poway (City). Staff determined CAPO best meets the evaluation criteria and addresses the needs of the City. The length of this agreement shall begin August 19, 2026, and go through the end of the project.
With the goal of increasing the reliability of drinking water for water customers now and for generations to come, the City of Poway (City) is undertaking its largest capital improvement program in the City's history referred to as the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program). The Program was presented to the City Council as an informational item, to provide updates and to request approval of the various components on March 18, 2020; June 16, 2020; October 20, 2020; November 17, 2020; March 16, 2021; April 20, 2021; June 1, 2021; July 20, 2021; August 17, 2021; April 5, 2022; October 18, 2022; February 7, 2023; May 16, 2023; August 15, 2023; September 19, 2023; November 19, 2024; April 15, 2025; September 16, 2025, and February 3, 2026. A comprehensive summary of the project background and status including photos and time lapse construction video can be found on the project webpage: https://poway.org/water-projects.
In accordance with the City's April 13, 2020, mutual agreement with the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (DOW), the City will construct two emergency treated water interconnections with the City of San Diego's (San Diego) water system. Emergency Interconnection No.1 (Interconnection No.1) is located on Avenida La Valencia near the Bridle Trail and Pomerado Road, and Emergency Interconnection No.2 is located along Poway Road, extending from Springhurst Drive in the City of San Diego to Francine Terrace in the City of Poway. Together with the Treated Water Facilities Project, these improvements will provide a reliable source of treated water 1 of 29
August 18, 2026,. Item #3
unplanned outage affecting the LesterJ. Berglund Water Treatment Plant.
The Interconnection No.1 project includes the construction of a new emergency interconnection facility between the City and San Diego. The work generally consists of installing piping to connect the two water systems; constructing a buried flow meter vault within Avenida La Valencia; installing an above-ground packaged pump station on the north side of Avenida La Valencia; providing associated appurtenances, electrical service, instrumentation, pavement replacement, and site restoration; coordinating valve closures and system shutdowns with both agencies; and completing all incidental work necessary to deliver a fully operational facility in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council award the Agreement for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Emergency Interconnection No.1, RFP No. 26-005, to CAPO, and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.
Discussion:
City staff prepared a detailed RFP to select and retain a qualified consultant to provide CM&I Services for construction of Interconnection No.1. The RFP was advertised on August 14 and August 21, 2025.
The City received six (6) proposals on September 16, 2025. An evaluation committee consisting of staff from the Department of Public Works reviewed the proposals based on criteria set forth in the RFP, which included thoroughness of the RFP, firm and project team qualifications, project understanding and approach, and project experience. Although the proposed fees were reviewed to confirm proposers understood the scope of the project, the City is not required to select the lowest fee proposal for professional services contracts. The table below alphabetically lists the proposed not-to-exceed fee amounts from the responsive proposers:
Table 1: RFP 26-005, CM&I Services for Interconnection No. 1 Responsive Proposers
Proposer City Total Fee
CAPO Projects Group, LLC San Diego, CA $199,641
Innovative Compliance, Inc. Poway, CA $171,210

PdMC Consulting, Inc. Oceanside, CA $159,620
TKE Engineering, Inc. San Diego, CA $532,896
Willdan Engineering San Diego, CA $271,828
As a result of the proposal evaluation, the evaluation committee determined CAPO provided the most comprehensive and best value proposal, had a clear understanding of project requirements, exhibited unique knowledge of the City, and precisely defined the approach and methodology to accomplish the City's goals. CAPO's proposal demonstrated extensive knowledge and experience of CM&I principals for water pumping systems and presented several relevant project experience examples. 2 of 29

CAPO PROJECTS GROUP
D. STATEMENT OF SERVICES:
Our team has reviewed the Contract
Drawing included in Addenda No. 1 and
looks forward to partnering with the City on
this important project. Our initial review of
the Contract Drawing indicates potential
risks, which we will proactively address.
Upon award, CAPO will complete a full
constructability review and prepare a
detailed risk register.
Key anticipated risks include:
• Coordination with SDGE for
transformer and meter installation
• Construction within a small residential
site
• Management of hazardous AC pipe
materials
• Trenching near existing utilities
• Rock excavation
Our experience across San Diego County
has prepared us to address these
challenges directly. We will employ
proactive strategies aligned with Section IV
Technical Specifications to mitigate risks
and ensure project success.
Task 1: Preconstruction Services
CAPO will conduct a comprehensive review
of project documents to identify potential
conflicts, inconsistencies, and missing
information. We will cross-check quantities
and review permit conditions to confirm
readiness prior to construction. Our team
will establish Procore as the project's
document control platform, creating a filing
system tailored to City preferences. CAPO
has successfully led preconstruction
meetings on projects such as the Johnstown
and Chet Harritt Pump Stations;
14 of 29
similar customized agendas, thorough
minutes, and structured follow-up will be
provided here. Additionally, a
preconstruction video and photographic
baseline with geotagged information will
document existing site conditions and
protect all parties prior to mobilization.
Task 2: Construction Phase
2.1 Coordination
CAPO views communication as the
backbone of project success. Issa will lead
bi-weekly progress meetings, tailoring
agendas with input from the City to ensure
all priorities are addressed. Meetings will
document current progress, issues, and
upcoming milestones, while action items will
be logged and tracked until closure. To
further enhance transparency, CAPO will
maintain a shared action item register,
enabling the City to monitor resolution in
real time. This ensures no task is overlooked
and creates accountability across all
parties.
2.2 Schedule Management
Our team brings decades of schedule
oversight experience on large pump station
and pipeline projects. We will review the
contractor's CPM baseline for logic,
sequencing, and constructability, focusing
on identifying risks such as weather delays,
long-lead equipment, or utility conflicts.
Using Primavera P6 for baseline/monthly
schedules and PlanGo for weekly
lookahead schedules, we maintain both
high-level and day-to-day visibility.
August 18, 2026,. Item #3
CAPO PROJECTS GROUP
• Weekly lookaheads will be tied
directly to CPM activities, bridging the
gap between field operations and
long-term milestones.
• Monthly schedule reports will include
narrative analysis of critical path
shifts, potential delays, and mitigation
recommendations.
• If the contractor submits a delay
claim, our documentation in PlanGo
will provide the City with accurate,
time-stamped data to validate or
dispute the claim.
This dual-layer approach creates schedule
accountability and empowers the City with
defensible documentation.
2.3 Progress Payment Management
CAPO recommends requiring a cost
loaded CPM schedule tied to bid items to
provide the City with accurate earned
value projections required in the
specifications. Issa will collaborate with the
City Project Manager to establish payment
procedures and templates. Each month, we
will:
• Review the contractor's
application line-by-line
supporting data.
pay
with
• Verify claimed quantities against field
measurements, inspector daily reports,
and material delivery tickets.
• Cross-reference claimed progress with
schedule activity completion.
• Provide the City with a reconciled pay
estimate, including a clear summary of
approved, withheld, or disputed
amounts.
• This process protects the City's
financial interests while ensuring the
contractor is paid fairly for verified
work.
15 of 29
2.4 Rfls and Submittals
Timely processing of submittals and RFls is
critical to maintaining schedule. CAPO will
~stablish a Master Submittal Log and RFI Log
1n Procore at project outset. Logs will include
priority flags for critical items such as long
lead equipment. We will:
• Distribute submittals and Rfls
immediately to the appropriate
reviewers.
• Track review timelines and send
reminders for outstanding responses.
• Provide the City with weekly
RFl/submittal status reports to maintain
visibility.
This proactive system ensures bottlenecks are
minimized and technical reviews are
completed in time to support construction.
2.5 Change Order Management
Change orders are often the greatest source
of conflict in public works. CAPO's system
emphasizes fairness, transparency, and
thorough documentation. Our process
includes:
• Early identification of potential changes
through field observation and
coordination meetings.
• Preparation of independent cost and
schedule analyses before contractor
negotiations.
• Use of Procore to store all
correspondence, estimates, and
approvals in organized digital folders.
• Development of a pre-negotiation plan
with the City Project Manager to align on
strategy before engaging the contractor.
• Facilitation of change order status
meetings, ensuring open items are
tracked and closed promptly.
Our proven approach reduces disputes and
expedites processing, allowing the City to
maintain financial control while ensuring
contractors are compensated fairly.

City's Investment Report as of June 30, 2026
CITY COUNCIL
Quarterly reports of investments are required to be presented to the City Council per California Government Code and the City's Investment Policy. Attached is the Investment Portfolio Report as of June 30, 2026.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council accept and file the attached report.
Discussion:
Pursuant to California Government Code Sec. 53646(b)(1) and the City's Investment Policy, the Director of Finance (i.e., City Treasurer) renders a quarterly investment report to the City Council concerning the investment portfolio's earnings and performance results. In accordance with the Investment Policy, the quarterly report includes information such as the investment type, issuer, date of maturity, par value, amount invested, current market value, and the source of the market value information.
The City is in compliance with its adopted Investment Policy, and the City's investment program provides sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow requirements for the next six months. The fair value of the City's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2026, was $167,433,019. It consisted of the following:

Investment Portfolio Total
Cash $339,745
Deposits at CalTRUST $26,590,054
Deposits at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) $53,623,81 8 U. S. Treasury Notes $32,347,463
U.S. Instrumentalities $33,349,332
Corporate Notes $21, 182,607
Fair Value of Investment Portfolio as of June 30, 2026 $167,433,019 It is the City's practice to keep funds (including those identified to pay for Capital Improvement Projects) invested and earning interest until they are needed. In addition to changing market conditions, reductions in the fair value of the investment portfolio can also be reflective of payments for large capital projects as well as operational expenses.
The attached Monthly Consolidated Investment Portfolio Report (Attachment B) and Investment Report (Attachment C) were prepared by the City's investment manager, Insight Investment, with input from the City's Finance Department. The Portfolio Report includes all investments while the Investment Report includes only those investments managed by Insight Investment.
CalTRUST is a joint powers authority created by and for California public agencies to pool their assets and invest local agency funds until they are needed. Any California public agency may participate in the CalTRUST, including the state, counties, cities, and special districts. The City invests portions of investable funds of the portfolio in the Short Term CalTRUST account with target investment of funds up to two years. The City also invests portions of the investable funds of the portfolio in the Medium Term CalTRUST account with target investment of funds between one and three years.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a California State offered and administered investment pool made available to local agencies within the State. This program offers local agencies, such as the City, the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer's Office professional investment staff. The State of California cannot borrow or withhold LAIF money per California statute.
All City funds, including the General Fund, Water Fund, Wastewater Fund and others -except those identified in Attachment D, are pooled and invested, with earned interest allocated quarterly based on the average daily cash balance in each fund. The funds on deposit at LAIF and CalTRUST earn interest at variable rates. The interest rate for the month ending June 30, 2026, is estimated at 3.81 % for LAIF, 3.71 % for the CalTRUST short-term fund, and 3.88% for the CalTRUST medium-term fund.
For fixed income securities, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is considered an unrealized gain or loss. A realized loss is when the principal of the security is redeemed before its maturity date at a fair value lower than its amortized cost value. The amortized cost value of the externally managed investment portfolio is $87,389,01 O; the fair value is $87,219,147 for an unrealized loss of $169,863 or -0.19% of the total amortized cost value. The source of the fair value information for the U.S. Treasury Notes, the U.S. Instrumentalities, Corporate Notes, and Municipal Bonds is Interactive Data Corporation.

Coupon: A bond's coupon is the periodic interest payment made to the holder of the fixed income security during the life of the bond. Coupon payments can be made monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Book Yield: The Book Yield is that rate of return that will make the present value of the future cash flows of a fixed income security equal to the price paid for the security. This assumes that the security will be held to its maturity.
Current Yield: Annual rate of return on an investment expressed as a percentage. Current Yield of a fixed income security is the annualized earnings (coupon) divided by the bond's market value as of the valuation date.
One Year Total Yield: The One Year Total Yield or One Year Return represents the portfolio's percentage change over a year's time, factoring in interest payments, changes in market value and reinvestment of distributions.
4.04%
0.95 1.13
Weighted Average Yield: The total yield on a bond portfolio divided by the number of bonds contained in it, weighted for the size of each bond so that the yield of large holdings does not drown out the calculation of yields on small holdings.
Yield to Maturity: The Yield to Maturity (YTM) or Market Yield to Maturity of a fixed income security is that rate of interest that will make the present value of the future cash flows equal to the market value as of the valuation date, assuming the bond is held to maturity. 4 of 35 ATTACHMENT A

Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy
The FOMC voted unanimously to keep the Fed Funds Rate unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, as expected . The central bank's "dot plot" projections reflected that nine members estimated at least one hike by the end of 2026. This was a change from the median expectation of roughly one rate cut that the committee had previously forecast in March (Chart 1).
All eyes were on Kevin Warsh's debut press conference as Fed chair. He indicated the Federal Reserve will scale back forward guidance and other market communications. Chair Warsh also announced task forces to explore further changes to the Fed's approach.
Geopolitical risk appeared to ease as the US and Iran continued negotiations through mediators to resolve the conflict. Global oil prices moved close to pre-war levels (Chart 2).
Headline CPI accelerated in May from 3.8% to 4.2% year-over-year, and headline PCE inflation accelerated from 3.8% to 4.1 % year-over-year . Energy prices continued to be the major driver .
Core CPI rose from 2.8% to 2.9%, while core PCE rose from 3.3% to 3.4%.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May, above expectations and with upward revisions to the prior two months . The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%. Weekly initial jobless claims remained contained in June. Continuing claims rose modestly from 1.786 million to
1.821 million .
Nominal personal income rose 0.7% month-over-month in May, a rebound from April's flat reading. Consumer spending increased 0.7% month-over-month in nominal terms. The personal savings rate was 3.0% in May and remained near multi-year lows. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index fell 1.9 points in June to 91 .2.
The final estimate of Q1 GDP growth was 2.1 % annualized, higher than the previous estimate of 1.6%. Downward revisions to imports were a major driver .
Interest Rate Summary
Front-end yields rose as markets priced in stronger rate hike probabilities over the next year.
At the end of June, the 3-month US Treasury bill yielded 3.81 %, the 6-month US Treasury bill yielded 3.97%, the 2-year US Treasury note yielded 4.17%, the 5-year US Treasury note yielded
4.23% and the 10-year US Treasury note yielded 4.47%.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CITY OF POWAY
w
~ As of June 30, 2026 ....
~ Past performance is not indicative offuture results. Investment in any strategy involves a risk of loss which may partly be due to exchange rate fluctuations.
The performance results shown, whether net or gross of investment management fees, reflect the reinvestment of dividends and/or income and other earnings. Any gross of fees performance does not include fees and charges and these can have a material detrimental effect on the performance of an investment. The performance shown is for the stated time period{s) only.
Any target performance aims are not a guarantee, may not be achieved and a capital loss may occur. Funds which have a higher performance aim generally take more risk to achieve this and so have a greater potential for the returns to be significantly different than expected. Investments are subject to risks, including loss of principal. There can be no guarantee that any investment strategy will meet the liability funding needs of a particular client.
Performance information for certain accounts may reflect performance achieved while the account was managed at a prior firm. In addition, the performance and customized benchmark information for these periods are based on Information from 3rd parties that Insight believes to be accurate, but Insight has not independently verified such information and no representation is made regarding its accuracy or completeness.
The quoted benchmarks do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. These benchmarks are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Benchmark performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment. There may be material factors relevant to any such comparison such as differences in volatility, and regulatory and legal restrictions between the indices shown and the strategy.

Funds and portfolios with an ESG objective follow a sustainable or ESG related investment approach, which may cause them to perform differently than funds that are not required to integrate sustainable investment criteria when selecting securities. Funds and portfolios with no ESG objective are not required to integrate sustainable investment criteria when selecting securities so any ESG approach shown is only indicative and there is no guarantee that the specific approach will be applied across the whole portfolio.

CITY COUNCIL
Approval of As-Needed Consultant Agreements with Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation for Engineering Services; RFQ No. 26-011 On March 26, 2026, the City received statements of qualifications (SOQs) from engineering firms for civil engineering, water and sewer design, drainage design, surveying, and geotechnical services. After evaluating all 13 submitted SOQs, the selection team rated Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation as the highest rated firms. This approval will authorize the City Manager to execute consultant agreements with these four engineering firms for as-needed engineering services.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute as-needed consultant agreements with Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation for engineering services.
Discussion:
Staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on March 5, 2026 for as-needed engineering services and received 13 SOQs for the following disciplines: civil engineering, water and sewer engineering, drainage engineering, surveying, and geotechnical engineering. Qualifications were evaluated based on established criteria as found in the RFQ, including a demonstrated understanding of the services requested, qualifications of the firms and key personnel, and demonstrated record of success by the consultants on work previously performed. After a thorough evaluation of the 13 SOQs submitted, staff selected Fuscoe Engineering, Hoch Consulting, NV5, and Parsons Corporation as the engineering firms best suited to meet the City's current and future engineering needs.
These consultants will support the Development Services Department and Public Works Department on a variety of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP included 42 total projects and programs. Of those, 20 are new projects, 10 are annual, recurring programs, and 12 are existing projects with an allocation of additional funds. These programs and projects cover a wide variety of improvements in the areas of streets, drainage, parks, water, sewer, and facilities maintenance.
1 of 94
August 18, 2026, Item #6
One of the benefits of selecting multiple consultants is that each consultant has its own strengths, and the breadth of experience represented by these firms will enable the City to select a consultant that is well-suited to a particular task. In addition, by utilizing as-needed consultants, City staff will have the ability to move quickly into design phase without going through the lengthy process of requesting proposals, awaiting submission of proposals, evaluating the proposals, and getting approval of the selected consultant.
Environmental Review:
The proposed action is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that the award of consultant agreements with four engineering firms for as-needed engineering services only, is not a project or authorizes any physical changes to the environment. Any future projects utilizing these consultant services will be subject to separate environmental review under CEQA, as appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for engineering services related to public projects have been contemplated and included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget as part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. Therefore, there is no direct fiscal impact associated with awarding the recommended as-needed consulting agreements which will be charged to respective project budgets.
Public Notification:
None.

UNDERSTANDING
POWAY
&
HOW
WE
DELIVER
Poway's
water
and
sewer
utilities
face
several
interconnected
challenges
centered
on
aging
infrastructure,
with
core
assets
such
as
the
original
clearwell
and
treatment
plant
dating
back
to
the
1960s
and
1970s
. The
City
remains
dependent
on
imported
water
purchased
through
SDCWA,
while
limited
system
redundancy
has
increased
the
urgency
of
capital
improvements.
At
the
same
time,
construction
cost
escalation
and
an
ongoing
sewer
rehabilitation
backlog
across
appro
ximately
186
miles
of
pipeline
require
sustained
investment
as
the
City
continues
to
advance
a robust
CIP
program
.
We
have
supported
similar
as-needed
contracts
for
several
neighboring
agencies
throughout
San
Diego
County,
delivering
responsive
and
reliable
service.
Hoch
Consulting
understands
these
challenges
and

support
the
City
with
both
technical

project
delivery.
Our
team
brings
experience
in

that
continues
to
grow
in
size
and
complexity,
the
City
is
seeking
qualified

to
serve
as
an
extension
of
staff,
providing
experienced
project
managers
who
can
integrate
seamlessly
with
City
teams
.
This
role
requires
professionals
who
understand
how
to
deliver
transportation,
water,
wastewater,
facilities,
and
other
infrastructure
projects
from
concept
through
completion,
while
representing
the
City
in
coordination
with
consultants,
staff,
stakeholders,
and
decision-makers
.
Hoch's
project

team
includes
former
public
agency
staff
in
San
Diego
County
and
professionals
with
extensive
experience
delivering
infrastructure
projects

municipalities
across
the
region
. Our
team
understands
how
to
operate
from
the
owner's
side,
providing
continuity,
clear
communication,
and
accountability
throughout
project
delivery.
Hoch
Consulting's
approach

staff
as
an
extension
of
the
team,
enhancing
internal

of
project
development.
By
integrating
this
perspective
into
decision
making,
we
help
minimize
risk,
streamline
execution,
and
maintain
cost-control.

PLANNING & FEASIBILITY
Strong projects start with clear thinking and defensible decisions. Hoch supports agencies during early planning and feasibility by evaluating options, identifying constraints, and developing solutions that are technically sound and practical to implement. We bring an owner's perspective to planning, balancing technical analysis with regulatory, operational, and funding considerations so projects are positioned for long-term success, notjust initial approval.
Our approach is collaborative, bringing stakeholders together early to align priorities, reduce risk, and streamline delivery. The majority of our work is within San Diego County, and we have extensive experience supporting local utility providers and public agencies, including the San Diego County Water Authority, City of San Diego, Ramona Municipal Water District, and San Diego Gas and Electric.
Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replacement & Manhole
Rehabilitation Program
City of Poway
We are currently supporting the City of Poway's Annual Sewer Line Repair/Replacement and Manhole Rehabilitation Program, working directly with City staff to keep critical sewer infrastructure ahead of failure. This program is a key part of how Poway is implementing its Sanitary Sewer Master Plan in a practical, ongoing way.
Our role starts with understanding what is actually happening in the system. We review CCTV data, system records, and flow information with the City to identify where issues are emerging and where improvements will have the most impact. From there, we help translate that information into clear, actionable projects that can be delivered efficiently.
Just as important, we focus on how the work gets built. We work through traffic impacts, utility conflicts, sewer bypass needs, and day-to-day operations early, so there are no surprises later. That upfront coordination allows the City to move projects forward with confidence and maintain consistency across its annual program . • ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Our engineering and design services focus on delivering solutions that can be permitted, built, and operated
with confidence. We approach design with a clear
understanding of how projects move through construction and into long-term operation, emphasizing coordination, constructability, and clarity. This reduces risk, minimizes rework, and supports a smoother transition from design
through construction.
Designing within the City of Poway comes with real
constraints, including traffic congestion, steep terrain, limited space, and environmental and land use
requirements. At the same time, the City maintains
a complex system of reservoirs, pump stations,
and an extensive water and sewer network. Hoch's
team is experienced in designing infrastructure that
performs reliably under these conditions. From pipeline replacements and pressure zone modifications to lift
station improvements and intersection upgrades, we
prepare construction documents that are coordinated,
.buildable, and aligned with the City's standards ..
~ CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT &
.._., INSPECTION
Every project brings its own priorities, constraints, and expectations. Hoch takes the time to understand what
matters most before construction begins and tailors our approach to fit the project, the City, and the surrounding community. Our team draws from engineering,
construction, and public agency backgrounds, giving us a practical understanding of how cost, schedule, scope, and quality come together in real-world conditions.
For the City of Poway, construction management goes
beyond field oversight. It requires transparency, protecting the City's interests, and keeping projects aligned with established goals from preconstruction through closeout.

Project Understanding
We have based our project understanding on our review
of the Scope of Work as included in the RFP and our work on similar assignments for cities and special districts throughout Southern California. It is our understanding the City is seeking a professional engineering firm to provide on-site, Project Management services under the general
direction of the City Engineer, as well as supplementary staff engineering resources to support delivery of smaller infrastructure projects not of size or complexity to warrant the full RFP process. NV5 provides comprehensive project management for capital projects, maintenance programs,
and facility upgrades, prioritizing adherence to schedules, budgets, and quality standards while overseeing each
phase of project development and execution.
We can provide professional, comprehensive project
management services on a per project or task order basis for all types of capital improvement projects. Below is our general project approach that will be modified and tailored to meet each project's needs.
Project Approach
For more than 70 years, NV5 has been delivering capital improvement projects under aggressive schedules that
involve management, administration and oversight of
project development teams from inception to completion.
Project management to us means complete ownership
of all project aspects including project delivery, project development and budgeting. This approach has served to
maintain continuity, institutional knowledge, momentum
and key community contacts consistent throughout the
project life. We have specific experience serving as a fully engaged member of the municipal team, with flexibility
to adapt to the needs of the project over the course of its life, and through the fluidity of the political and community needs of the municipality.
Project Delivery Strategy
The basis of developing a project delivery strategy is based on preparing a Project Management Plan (PMP). The
PMP is a living document that will provide the roadmap
for project work and will identify the team with specific technical capabilities to carry the project from inception to completion. Listed below are elements that will be
included in a PMP.
• Roles and Responsibilities: This section includes
the illustration and discussion of the project's
organizational chart, job descriptions, reporting
PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
methods and identifying functional relationships, as
well as resumes for all key positions.
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): The WBS is
the structure by which all work is organized and
monitored. The WBS will be utilized for document and
project controls, as well as tracking costs, budget, and schedule.
• Risk and Contingency Management Plan (RCMP):
This plan establishes a risk register that enables the
visibility and tracking of known risks. This supports
proactive decision making, enables discussions
ahead of possible incidents, and building consensus
on ideal solutions.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan:
This plan establishes quality procedures for all
deliverables and project management. The phases of
the project identified in the scope will include the plan for QC ahead of each and every deliverable.
• Project Controls Plan (PCP): This plan will utilize
the WBS noted above to confirm that all project work
stays on schedule and within the budget. The PCP is a
comprehensive approach to track project deliverables
and the associated budget.
General Approach to Project Management
All projects, regardless of size or complexity, will suffer if they are not managed with diligence. For this reason, we place high priority on developing a strong project
organization and overall project management approach.
Even with our broad depth of resources and experience, we recognize that people make projects successful. Quick and responsive solutions, while being sensitive to community issues, are the cornerstones of our accomplishments and company traditions.

Timely
Completion
and
Schedule
Management
Our
approach
to
assuring
that
all
phases
of
the
project
are
completed
in
a
timely
manner
is
to
establish
and
maintain
a
realistic
yet
ambitious
overall
project
schedule.
All
updates
and
changes
are
documented
for
the
City's
review.
We
also
include
City-mandated
project milestones
and
points
of
essential
input
or
review
by
the
City
team
. In
all
cases
, the
City
is
notified
in
advance
of
each
milestone
and
scheduled
review
so
that
it
may
prepare
materials
in
an
orderly
manner.
Our
ability
to
"drive"
the
project
forward
is
our
hallmark
for
success.
We
strongly
believe
that
by
aggressively
and
pro-actively
managing
the
project
and
the
performance
of
project
team
members,
we
will
produce
positive
results
and
complete
the
project
in
a
timely
manner.
Managing
Project
Budget
Utilizing
budget
control
and
reporting
tools,
we
focus
on
accountability,
documentation
and
record
keeping
, and
frequent
communication
of
key
project issues
with
the
City.
Project
managers
apply
budget
control
systems
and
carefully
monitor
project
budgets.
Project
managers
closely
track
work
quality
of
all
members
of
the
project
team
to
assure
budgets
are
adhered
to.
Work
and
budget
plans
are
prepared
before
work
is
started
and
are
submitted
to
the
City
program
manager
for
approval.
After
those
are
secured,
the
project manager
monitors
the
team
members
to
assure
the
work
is
done
within
the
scope
of
services
identified
and
the
work
is
being
performed
within
the
budget
and
schedule
approved
by
the
City
program
manager.
Specifically,
project managers
monitor
that
milestones
are
met,
funding
strategies
are
implemented,
and
that
there
is
regular
invoicing
for
fund
reimbursements.
Anything
not
meeting
the
performance
expectations
is
brought
to
the
immediate
attention
of
the
City. Quality
Assurance/Quality
Control
During
the
design
phase
we
will
perform
extensive
constructability
and
value
engineering
reviews
of
the
design
documents.
We
will
identify
the
critical
areas
of
design
and
focus
our
reviews
accordingly.
These
areas
include
grading/drainage,
asphalt
and
concrete
paving
improvements,
traffic
signal
modifications,
ADA
accessibility,
appropriate
edge
condition
treatments,
quality
and
specifications
of
hardscape
materials,
site
lighting,
and
irrigation
systems
.
During
construction
we
will
coordinate
all
required
project
inspections
and
reports.
We
will
assure
that
the
various
PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
APPROACH
City
inspectors
are
contacted
by
the
Contractor
according
to
City
requirements
and
will
attend/facilitate
meetings
and
on-site
inspections
to
assure
that
all
work
is
being
constructed
and
approved
according
to
the
contract
documents
and
project
schedule
.
The
oversight
of
the
Contractor's
Quality
Assurance
and
Quality
Control
programs
are
very
important
to
the
success
of
any
project.
We
will
establish
a
protocol
with
the
Contractor
to
assure
that
the
work
that
is
performed
on
a
day-to-day
basis
is
in
compliance.
We
will
also
require
that
the
Contractor
submit
a
project
specific
QA/QC
program
that
specifically
outlines
and
addresses
the
critical
issues
and
areas
that
we
identify
during
the
design
phase
of
the
project.
We
will
also
require
that
the
Contractor
designates
an
on-site
team
member
as
QA/QC
manager
to
be
responsible
for
conducting
walk-throughs
and
to
perform
periodic
checklists
to
assure
that
all
wo
rk complies
with
the
QA/QC
manual.
All
deficiencies
will
be
documented
and
all
remedial
work
will
be
managed
by
NV5
and
the
necessary
consultants.
Progress
Reporting
We
will
create
financial
reports
and
project
status
reports
to
monitor
the
overall
program
delivery.
Through
these
reports,
we
will
develop
a
project
control
system
with
"checks
and
balances
" to
accomplish
the
following:
• Provide
accurate,
up-to-date
information
on
project
budgets
, status
of
work,
emerging
project
issues
•
Provide
up-to-date
financial
expenditures
to
assist
the
City
regarding
the
burn
rate
on
the
project
among
various
programmed
phases,
as
well
as
the
type
of
revenues
being
expended
•
Implementation
of
the
"checks

monitoring
of
budgets.
By
creating
reports,
the
"checks

" is
achieved
in
several
ways:
o
The
project
manager
will
verify
accuracy
of
budget
expenditures
and
make
any
needed
corrections
immediately
o
The
City
can

• Prevention of Scope Creep: We will work closely with
the City and design team to assure a disciplined effort that keeps the original project goals and objectives in clear focus.
• Establishment and Maintenance of a Design
Schedule: We will assure that critical review and
completion milestones are met. Should the schedule
slip, we will work closely with the design team to
formulate a recovery plan.
• Extensive Reviews of the Plans and Specifications:
We will assure that all disciplines are coordinated
and that there are no conflicts. This will minimize the potential for any change orders.
Cost Estimating
The basis for reliable cost estimates will be the
development and updating of standard project bid items, refinement of the existing Caltrans cost estimating
guidelines and to identify the big ticket items that generally control project costs. Typically 10 to 15 items (sometimes less) drive project construction costs. We have had
success with early identification and analysis of those key construction items and as a result our initial estimates generally prove accurate.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
NV5 maintains an extensive database of unit prices for
public works construction items. This database is regularly updated to formulate accurate cost estimates.
Familiarity with State and Federal Procedures
We understand the development of Federal-and State
funded projects requires more than the preparation of
design reports and PS&E. More and more, engineers
are required to navigate their projects through the
complex federal aid process involving pre-award audits, authorizations, and timely use of fund provisions. Our
experience with the regulatory agencies controlling
these funding sources has afforded us the opportunity to support our clients through the process of developing the day-to-day procedures required to secure authorization
and reimbursement for federally funded projects. This
participation has put us in a position to offer our clients an unparalleled level of understanding of the process
required to comply with Federal and State requirements.
Our work with local, state and federal agencies keeps us in the forefront of current updates to policies and procedures allowing our clients to benefit from our regular involvement in the project delivery process.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
CITY OF POWAY
• Conducting a utility survey to identify the existing utilities within the area and determine the available corridors for placement of the new pipe
• Potholing to verify the depths and horizontal locations of existing water and conflicting pipelines • Working with Poway's utilities staff to understand the distribution system and determine the optimal construction sequencing to limit customer water service shutdowns, including:
• Placing valves strategically to create system loops
• Optimizing the design corridor to install new pipeline in parallel with existing pipe, where possible • Maintaining resident safety and driveway access in this residential neighborhood by phasing construction in short segments to limit the number of impacted driveways
• Giving special consideration to the potential presence of sensitive species by phasing construction, where possible, to avoid work during breeding seasons
Sewer System Expertise
Often some of the oldest assets in a municipal system, sewer collection and conveyance infrastructure must be properly maintained and improved to protect public health, support community growth, and ensure reliable system performance.
Parsons provides the full range of engineering services needed to evaluate, design, replace, repair, and rehabilitate municipal sewer systems -including gravity sewers, force mains, lift stations, and related infrastructure. Our team brings local experience and a strong understanding of sewer regulatory requirements and operating conditions, and is available to support Poway's needs, including:
• Sewer rehabilitation and replacement
• Sewer manhole rehabilitation and replacement, including cured-in-place-pipe and spiral wound rehabilitation
• Sewer network CCTV and dye testing review
• Utility conflict analysis and coordination
Below is a sample of local projects we have worked on:

-Parsons' Approach
For this City of Poway project, we would apply the approach we successfully used on the City of San Diego Water & Sewer Group 965 Project, which includes:
• Conducting a utility survey to identify utilities within the area • Surveying existing sewer manholes to obtain invert elevations and ensure proper slopes are maintained in the new design • Potholing to verify the depths and horizontal locations of existing water and conflicting pipelines

• Challenge: Over 5,000 LF of sewer main in
Sorrento Valley, San Diego, required
replacement. Portions of the line ran
beneath a San Diego Gas & Electric
(SDG&E) electrical vault and relocating the
vault would have delayed construction by
approximately 18 months.
• Solution: Parsons engineered a solution to
reroute the sewer pipeline around the
electrical vault. This included verifying
existing sewer inverts by surveying manhole
elevations and designing a new alignment
that maintained adequate clearance from
SDG&E facilities.
• Construction is currently underway and is
expected to be complete in late 2026.

■ Maintaining resident safety and driveway access in this residential neighborhood by phasing construction in short segments to limit the number of driveways impacted
■ Identifying viable alternative alignments, if conflicts are encounters, to avoid utility relocations • Ensuring each existing service lateral is properly reconnected to the new main ■ Conducting dye testing and CCTV, if any mains are taken out of service, to ensure all existing laterals are replumbed to another main
Drainage Analysis and Improvements Expertise
Parsons' experience with hydrology and hydraulics includes drainage design, urban runoff analysis, culvert design, floodplain mapping, hydrology and drainage calculations, and preparation of drainage studies. As part of our civil and transportation as-needed contracts with the City of San Diego and our as-needed
engineering services contract with the County of San Diego, we have provided detailed drainage analyses -modeling tributary watersheds, soil conditions, times of concentration, and hydromodification -to estimate stormwater flows for 25-, 50-, PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: FOOTHILL BOULEVARD & a
LORING STREET ROUNDABOUT -SAN DIEGO, CA
and 100-year design storms for facilities. These analyses support optimization of proposed storm drain networks and best
management practices (BMPs), evaluation of natural drainage features, design of surface drainage elements, and capacity analyses of proposed systems.
In addition to providing drainage analysis, we're experts in developing BMP and Green Street infrastructure strategy plans to meet or exceed water quality standards. From determining feasibility of Low Impact Development (LID) features to preparing structural and non-structural BMP calculations, Parsons can quickly evaluate and provide recommendations to meet all City and municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) requirements.
Parsons provided drainage services for the
Foothill Boulevard & Loring Street Roundabout
project in Pacific Beach. Services included:
■ Hydrologic analysis
■ Hydraulic modeling
■ Inlet capacity calculations
■ Stormwater network optimization
■ Drainage and geotechnical report.
■ Conceptual alternatives
The project included storm drain rehabilitation
and replacement, as well as capacity
calculations of existing and proposed networks.
This project serves as an exemplary instance of
designing storm drain systems for hydraulic
efficiency, while also reducing surface ponding
and mitigating flooding.
Project Relevance
■ Curb inlet analysis
■ Storm drain mapping and hydraulic analysis
Storm drainage replacement in a
constrained ROW
e
A representative example of these services is the Carmel Del Mar Neighborhood Park Improvements project for the City of San Diego, where we developed a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) and a BMP strategy for a Priority Development Project (PDP). The project was evaluated for contributing site pollutants, and water quality requirements were met through the design of a biofiltration basin and permeable pavement. Parsons' experience also includes erosion control plans and studies, as well as Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs).
e
Another strong example of our culvert repair services is the 1-805 South Asset Management Project for Caltrans District 11. This effort included field and desktop assessments of culverts along 1-805; evaluation of each culvert based on the assessment results to determine the appropriate rehabilitation method; and preparation of a rehabilitation report documenting recommended repair strategies, staged construction methods, and preliminary cost estimates. Through our work, Parsons identified repair methods that saved Caltrans time and money compared with traditional replacements.
Annual Corrugated Metal Pipe Repair/ Replace -CIP #DR001 -Parsons' Approach For this potential project, Parsons would model the approach successfully used on the 1-805 South Asset Management Project, which includes:
■ Conducting a site assessment or desktop study of previously prepared assessment reports from Poway ■ Evaluating each culvert through a workflow to determine the most feasible rehabilitation method ? PARSONS

We
understand
that
Poway
plans
to
advance
ATMS
projects
with
adaptive
controls
and
upgraded
traffic
signals.
Our
work
on
the
Mission
Gorge
Road
Adaptive
System
in
Santee
is
a
prime
example
of
Parsons'
capabilities.
Under
the
leadership
of
Parsons'
Traffic
Engineering
Lead,
Minjie
Mei,
Santee
implemented
the
San
Diego
area's
first
adaptive
system
using
the
McCain
Transparity
platform.
This
deployment
along
Mission
Gorge
Road
-
the
City's
busiest
arterial,
carrying
approximately
45,000
vehicles
per
day
-
improves
operations
on
a
critical
corridor
serving
major
commercial
areas
and
connections
to
regional
Caltrans
freeways.
-
Because
Santee
uses
the
same
central
control
system
(Transparity)
as
Poway,
Parsons
offers
directly
transferable
experience
and
proven
implementation
strategies.
The
adaptive
system
dynamically
adjusts
signal
timing
in
response
to
traffic
demand
to
minimize
delay,
travel
time,
and
stops.
The
project
achieved
measurable
improvements
in
traffic
flow
and
operational
efficiency,
including
reduced
delays
(especially
for
left-turn
movements),
fewer
red-light
violations,
and
enhanced
overall
safety
along
the
corridor
.

CITY OF POWAY
■ Evaluating existing timing to confirm and/or develop baseline timing plans ■ Evaluating existing detection systems for potential upgrades to provide required input for the adaptive system • Evaluating the communication system to ensure it meets the requirements of adaptive systems • Upgrading system software and controller firmware for adaptive capabilities • Developing the adaptive system and code intersections in the system ■ Testing and calibrating system thresholds to ensure responsiveness to real-time conditions ■ Monitoring system performance and fine-tuning operations to achieve optimal efficiency • Conducting an "after" study to validate system performance • Preparing a comprehensive final report
Potential challenges include understanding the existing system, confirming or developing baseline signal timing plans, and preparing the system software and hardware for adaptive control operations. Parsons' staff have extensive experience resolving these issues on the same platform as Poway and are well positioned to address them and successfully deliver the project.
Environmental Analysis and Reporting (CEQA)
Parsons provides in-house environmental and stormwater planning, design, and engineering, resulting in tightly coordinated compliance with applicable regulations and design standards. We understand the permit acquisition process with agencies throughout the County and State -from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) -and regularly prepare design studies, environmental documents, and technical reports for our on-call contracts for local municipalities. Our team has successfully obtained permits and approvals from the California Coastal Commission (CCC), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
Within San Diego County, Parsons has recently completed archaeological, biological, and other environmental technical studies for projects that secured CEQA approvals, including:
• City of San Diego Sewer Pump Station 11
• City of San Diego Buchanan Canyon Sewer Replacement
• OMWD Unit A Rancho Santa Fe Road Pipeline Replacement We'll bring this recent experience and our working relationships with the various permitting agencies to help Poway identify the appropriate permits and navigate the application process efficiently.
CIP Project Management
Our project management team will be led by Matt Brash, who has managed numerous as-needed contracts for agencies throughout San Diego County. He has a proven record of controlling scope, schedule, and budget while aligning deliverables with client priorities and goals. Matt's leadership and technical competence make him well qualified to serve as Poway's project management lead.
We have a highly skilled team of more than 100 professionals in San Diego County, including discipline managers, technical leads, and support staff ready to deliver exceptional results for Poway. We're large enough to provide depth in every identified discipline; yet focused enough to remain responsive and hands-on for each task order. This team has delivered hundreds of task orders as a prime through multiple as-needed contracts. We are the industry leaders in on call delivery and can effectively manage, design, and review the full range of projects in Poway's CIP. No project is too large or small for us.
Parsons also has deep experience delivering multidisciplinary projects that must comply with complex federal, state, regional, and local regulations. This is exemplified by our work on the award-winning San Marcos Creek District Infrastructure Project-at $70 million, the largest capital project in the City of San Marcos' history -and further illustrated in the callout box on the next page. ?

Project
Controls
Parsons
recognizes
the
importance
of
providing
effective
project
controls
to
deliver
projects
on
schedule
and
within
budget.
Our
team
will
track
and
forecast
expenditures
so
our
projects
can
be
accountable
to
the
City
of
Poway
and
the
public
at
large.
Parsons
trains
and
certifies
its
project
managers
to
utilize
effective
budget
management
tools
and
planning
techniques
to
ensure
successful
project
delivery,
while
facilitating
effective
communication
with
the
clients.
We
will

PARSONS'
APPROACH
TO
PROJECT
CONTROLS
Budget
Management
The
goal
of
budget
control
processes
at
Parsons
is
to
meet
all
project
requirements
as
efficiently
as
possible
while
completing
the
project
on
time
and
within
budget.
Parsons
will
apply
EVM
as
the
primary
means
of
monitoring
project
progress
and
forecasting
performance
and
integrating
scope,
schedule,
and
budget.
Early
detection
and
correction
of
performance-related
problems
is
one
of
the
major benefits
of
EVM.
Variance
identification
and
analysis
aids
in
isolating
causes
of
deviation
from
the
plan
and
allows
the
mitigation
process
to
minimize
overall
impact.
This
allows
various
aspects
of
the
project
to
be
integrated
into a
single
system
, allowing
the
task
order
leads
to
evaluate
and
control
project
task
order
leads
to
evaluate
and
control
project
risk
by
planning,
measuring,
and
analyzing
the
financial
and
physical

performance.

TO

CONTROLS
RESULTS
IN
ON
TIME
AND
WITHIN-BUDGET
DELIVERY
The
budget
control
process
begins
with
the
development
of
a
baseline
budget
and
is
monitored
and
updated
in
all
stages
. Parsons
possesses
a
variety
of
web-based
analytical
reports
to
assist
our
task
order
managers
in
successfully
maintaining
control
of
a
project
budget
by
providing
timely
status
reports
on
performance,
trends,
variances,
forecasts,
commitments,
and
expenditures
for
all
work
elements.
The
Parsons
team
will
prepare
monthly
progress
reports
that
contain
a
narrative
of
work
progress
achieved
by
task
during
the
reporting
period,
work
planned
for
the
next
period
, problems encountered,
solutions
achieved,
outstanding
issues,
financial
reporting
on

and
anticipated
cost
to

CITY COUNCIL
Award of Contract to Vortex Services, LLC dba Sancon Technologies, for the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project, Bid No. 27-001 and Determination the Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act This action will award a construction contract for the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation project to Vortex Services, LLC dba Sancon Technologies, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This project consists of the rehabilitation of 37 sewer manholes to extend the service life of the City's wastewater infrastructure.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council:
1) Award the contract for the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation project to Vortex Services, LLC dba Sancon Technologies, in the amount of $591,064 for the base bid, and $24,036 for the additive alternate bid, for a total amount of $615,100 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract; and
2) Make a determination the project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Discussion:
The project consists of the rehabilitation of 37 existing sewer manholes throughout the City using polyurethane and an epoxy primer lining system. The project also includes the construction of one concrete weir. Construction activities will require temporary sewer bypass operations and traffic control while maintaining continuous sewer service throughout the duration of the work. The project will improve system performance, reduce maintenance demands and extend the service life of the City's wastewater collection system. Bids were opened on July 9, 2026. One bid was received, as summarized below:

August 18, 2026, Item #7
Company Base Bid Additive Total Bid
Alternate Bid Amount
Vortex Services, LLC dba $591,064 $24,036 $615,100 Sancon Technologies The total bid of $615,100 submitted by Vortex Sevices, LLC dba Sancon Technologies is an acceptable bid that is responsive to, and meets the requirements of, the bid specifications. The contract time for this project is 80 working days.
Environmental Review:
The proposed action is the award of a construction contract to implement the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project. The underlying project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1 -Existing Facilities), in that it involves the rehabilitation of existing sewer manholes and construction of a concrete weir to extend the service life of existing public infrastructure, involving negligible or no expansion of existing use.
Fiscal Impact:
Funds totaling $2,095,224.09 are available in the Annual Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation (SW002) project funded by the Sewer Enterprise Fund (5200) for the award of this contract. The City proactively planned for this project as part of the development process for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
Public Notification:
Prior to construction, staff will notify the residents near the project locations about the upcoming construction work.

*Contractor responsible for field verifying manhole diameter prior to bid. **Those located in residential areas shall have alternative working hours see Section 4-4 for more detail. ***Structural Repair types are preliminary recommendations based on March 2025 condition assessment (Apprendix E). Contrator shall determine appropriate level of repair based on observed concrete conditions at the time of rehabilitation
5 of13
August 18, 2026, Item #7
Type Definition
(Sikatop 122+ or 123+ approved equal) or repair mortar (Sikadur 31 Hi-Mod Gel or approved equal). Repairs of this type are assumed to have lengths less than or equal to 6" and generally no structural reinforcement exposed. Many of these repairs are likely to occur where previous patched have been made over the reinforcement chair supports or locations where the legs of the chairs are exposed.
Type 2 Concrete repair of larger spalls or defects (greater than 1" deep) that have exposed reinforcement. These repairs will require removal of unsound concrete to competent material, and cleaning of the exposed reinforcement.
Up to 1-lnch of space shall be cleared behind the reinforcement, if exposed.
Area will be coated with a corrosion inhibitor/bonding agent (Sika Arametec 110 Epocem or approved equal) and then repaired with a cementitious mortar (Sikatop 123+, Sikatop 122+, or approved equal)
Type 3 Concrete crack repair using pressure injection is necessary in locations that have active leaking. Alternatively, there are some locations where the contractor may determine that injection is a feasible option to fill a crack and bond two pieces of sound concrete.
Type 4 Concrete crack repair by epoxy mortar (Sikadur 31 Hi-Mod Gel or approved equal) by cementitious repair mortar with crystalline admixture (Xypex Megamix I or approved equal)
Type 5 Concrete Crack Repair requiring installation of additional conventional steel reinforcement. In locations where greater than 50% of the reinforcement has been compromised, replacement with new reinforcement will be required.
Concrete repair due to surface erosion. In areas where erosion has caused a Type 6 gap greater than 1 /8" deep, the surface will require a repair mortar (Sikatop 122+, Sikatop 123+, or approved equal) prior to coating with a protective slurry mortar (Sikatop Seal 107 or approved equal). Where gap is 1/8" or less, apply protective slurrv mortar directly.

e. All insurance policies required to be provided by Contractor or any other party must be endorsed to provide that the policies shall apply on a primary and noncontributing basis in relation to any insurance or self-insurance, primary or excess, maintained or available to the City, and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers, agents and independent contractors.

CITY COUNCIL
Pre-Development Conference 26-0001, a Proposal for 42-Townhomes and Mixed-Use Development, Phase 2 of the Poway Commons Project at 13027 Poway Road, APNs 317-472-02, 317-472-38 and 317-472-39
Meridian Development (Applicant) is requesting a Pre-Development Conference (PDC) for a proposed
2.73 gross acre development consisting of 42 three-story townhomes, 1,000 square feet of second floor office space and 7,468 square feet of ground-floor commercial building space along Poway Road.
The project includes a lot-merger of three parcels within the Town Center (TC) Land Use District of the Poway Road Specific Plan (PRSP) and requests a Tier 1 height incentive. The proposal would require Administrative Adjustments for commercial space standards. The review of PDC 26-0001 is advisory only, and no application for any of the entitlement(s) required has been submitted to the City. The City Council will not render any decision.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council provide input and direction regarding the Applicant's proposal.
Discussion:
The proposed project site is located at 13027 Poway Road within the TC land use designation of the PRSP. The project consists of three adjacent parcels. Table 1 below indicates the existing conditions and current land uses for each parcel of the project site:

The proposed project includes a lot-consolidation and condominium map to subdivide 42 individual for-sale, three-story townhomes and commercial spaces with a Tentative Tract Map (TTM).
Additionally, a Development Review (DR) will be required for the construction of the mixed-use development. The conceptual site plan (Attachment B) consists of nine buildings. Six buildings each contain a row of five townhome units. The three remaining buildings include either six, four or two townhomes. Each townhouse contains three bedrooms and a ground floor two-car garage. The proposed site plan includes a landscaped interior courtyard and a passive recreation area.
Along Poway Road, the proposal shows six commercial spaces with an interior square footage of 616 square feet for a total building square footage of 3,696. On the west side of the driveway is a two story building with a 1,656 square foot ground floor retail/restaurant space with a 1,000 square foot office above. A ground floor 2,116 square foot retail/restaurant space is shown east of the driveway.
