Romeo M. David, Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration to Accept as Complete, File the Notice of Completion and Authorize Release of Retention and Bonds for the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Local Overlay Pavement Rehabilitation Project. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Accept the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Local Overlay Pavement Rehabilitation Project, Contract No. 2024-107 (Project), as complete;
2. Approve the final contract amount of $2,646,055;
3. Authorize the release of the Faithful Performance Bond 35 days after recordation of Notice of Completion and accept a Maintenance Guarantee Bond;
4. Authorize the release of the Labor and Materials Bond in the amount of $2,369,000, six (6) months after the recordation of said notice if no claims have been received;
5. Authorize the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion and release the project retention, 35 days after recordation of Notice of Completion; and
6. Authorize the City Engineer to approve the release of the Maintenance Bond one (1) year following the filing of the Notice of Completion if the improvements remain free from defects in material and workmanship.
BACKGROUND:
On May 15, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Onyx Paving Company, Inc., in the amount of $2,369,000 plus 20% contingency in the amount of $473,800 to address unforeseen construction related incidentals. The Project included overlaying local streets in various neighborhoods across the City as part of the annual pavement management program.
A vicinity map illustrating the various neighborhood streets that received pavement overlay is included as Attachment 1. A copy of the May 15, 2024, City Council staff report is on file with the City Clerk. The scope of work consisted of cold milling, routing and crack sealing, asphalt concrete overlay, adjusting existing manholes, clean-outs, water meters, and valves to new grade, installation of pavement markers and striping, upgrading existing curb ramps, and related items of work per plans.
2 6
7 9
ANALYSIS:
The subject project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The net increase in the total cost of the Project is covered by allotted contingency and is a result of three (3) Change Orders, including the final balancing statement, which are summarized below:
Change Order No.1: Additional sidewalk replacement was needed due to unanticipated non- compliant curb ramps and roots lifting existing sidewalks. Proposed new ramps were included in the original project contract, however the removal of the existing non-compliant ramps and replacement of the sidewalk panels was not. This resulted in change order to ensure continuation of sidewalk and clear delineation of the correct crossing location. The change in the contract cost due to this change order is an increase of $55,530.
Change Order No.2: During the project, resident concerns prompted staff to complete a field check of additional street paving areas that were not included in the original contract bid. It was determined that the condition of the pavement in these additional areas was much worse than expected and that pavement rehabilitation was justified in this location to avoid further degradation and exponential replacement costs. The change in the contract cost due to this change order is an increase of $200,305.
Change Order No.3: The balancing statement for the Project. The balancing statement conforms the final contract quantities to the actual quantities placed or constructed during the contract.
The notable change is an increase in the amount of $21,225 resulting from an increase in the final quantities of asphalt concrete placed and final number of utility adjustments.
At the end of the one-year maintenance period, if the improvements remain free from defects in materials and workmanship, the City Clerk will release the Maintenance Bond upon approval by the City Engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A total of $3,060,755 was budgeted in FY 2023/24 from the State Gas Tax R&T7360 Fund (Fund 174) and from Measure I Fund (Fund 177). The total funds for this project were identified under Capital Improvement and Public Works projects Account No.'s in the amounts listed below:

Neil Plummer, Public Works Services Director
Daniel Navarrette, Interim Emergency Management Coordinator SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Ratifying the Director of Emergency Services’ Proclamation of a Local Emergency Due to the Extreme Wind Event That Began January 7, 2025. (RESOLUTION NO. 2025-001) (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District adopt the resolution ratifying the Director of Emergency Services’ proclamation of a of a local emergency related to the extreme wind event that began January 7, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2025, the City of Rancho Cucamonga experienced extreme winds throughout the entire city. Wind gusts were reported by the National Weather Service over 80 MPH and sustained winds consistently between 40-50 MPH throughout the event. The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Public Works Department Operation Center (DOC) were activated. The Public Works DOC received more than 400 service requests in the first 12 hours of the event and worked to address damage to public roadways and sidewalks, fencing, block walls, traffic signals, and private property. On January 8, 2025, the City Manager, in his capacity as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency throughout the city.
ANALYSIS:
The Local Emergency proclaimed by the City Manager, acting in his capacity as the Director of Emergency Services, on January 8, 2025 will expire on January 15, 2025, unless the City Council acts to ratify and extend the emergency declaration. Staff recommends the City Council extend the emergency proclamation as debris removal and damage repair is ongoing. In accordance with Government Code Section 8630, the emergency declaration will remain in place until the City Council terminates the declaration; however, the City Council must review the need for the local emergency at least once every 60 days.
The emergency proclamation will provide the City with expanded authority to take emergency actions, authorizes issuance of orders and regulations, activates pre-established emergency provisions such as the Council approved Emergency Operations Plan, and is a prerequisite to request State and Federal assistance. Furthermore, the emergency proclamation will allow, during
2 6
9 2
the existence of the Local Emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the emergency organization of the City as prescribed by State Law through ordinances, resolutions, and approved plans of this City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
At this time, it is unknown what the complete financial impact will be to the City. It is estimated to take weeks, if not months, before the debris removal and damage repair is completed. Costs will include Public Works staff overtime, contractors for debris removal, and replacement of damaged infrastructure throughout the city. The City may have to expend funds from its General Fund, and potentially its reserves, to recover from the extreme wind event.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
By proclaiming a local emergency, we are ensuring our community continues its efforts to be sustainable and promotes a safe and healthy community for all.

City Manager / Director of Emergency Services
DATE: January 15, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Michael Parmer, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: Selection of a Delegate for the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) General Assembly. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council appoint a member to serve as Rancho Cucamonga’s delegate at the upcoming SCAG General Assembly. The Council may also wish to select an alternate delegate if desired, although it is not required.
BACKGROUND:
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization, representing six counties and 191 cities in an area covering more than 38,000 square miles. SCAG undertakes a variety of planning and policy initiatives to encourage a more sustainable Southern California now and in the future. As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization, SCAG is mandated by federal and state law to research and draw up plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous materials management, and air quality.
SCAG is governed by the General Assembly which brings together the official representatives of SCAG's membership and helps set the agency's course for the coming year. The General Assembly serves as a forum where policy matters can be identified and addressed. Amendments to SCAG's Bylaws may also be considered at the General Assembly. In addition, members of the General Assembly also vote on SCAG's General Fund budget.
ANALYSIS:
This year's Regional Conference and General Assembly will be held in-person on May 1 and 2, 2025 in Palm Desert, CA. If a Member City wishes to select a Delegate to participate in the General Assembly, City Council action is required to appoint the Delegate. An Alternate may also be selected; however, it is not required. Each General Assembly Delegate (or Alternate) will be invited to the SCAG's Regional Conference and General Assembly event. If a City has a Council Member that serves as a Regional Council Member on the SCAG Board, that person is automatically the City's delegate, however, if an Alternate is also desired, they will need to be appointed by the City Council. Mayor L. Dennis Michael currently serves as a SCAG Regional Council Member; however, Council appointed Councilmember Kristine Scott as the delegate at last year’s SCAG General Assembly and Councilmember Ashley Stickler as the Alternate. Delegates and Alternates are required to submit FPPC Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests to the SCAG office upon appointment.
