specializes in community promotion, event coordination, and regional storytelling. Given GOCAL’s existing operational capacity and local partnerships, they were selected to administer and operate the pilot program funded through Congressmember Torres’ federal earmark.
Under this partnership, GOCAL will provide comprehensive administrative and operational support, including contract management, data collection, program evaluation, customer service, and marketing. They will also supply and operate the shuttle vehicles that make up the one-year pilot. The service will offer scheduled transportation to key destinations throughout the City with the goal of improving local mobility, reducing traffic congestion, addressing last-mile barriers, and supporting sustainable travel choices.
This partnership structure reflects the City’s original intent when seeking federal funding in 2022:
to pilot an adaptable, data-driven mobility solution that could be scaled or modified based on community needs, future development patterns, and regional transportation investments. The forthcoming data and evaluation from this pilot will serve as a foundation for determining the viability of permanent or expanded mobility services in Rancho Cucamonga.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No City funds will be used for the circulator pilot. The full cost of the pilot program, up to $1,000,000, will be funded through the federal earmark secured by Congressmember Torres. The City will reimburse GOCAL for eligible administrative and shuttle service costs using these federal funds for the duration of the one-year pilot.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Accept $15,000 of Kaiser Permanente Grant Funds and Appropriate $15,000 in Revenue and Expenditures to Expand Mental Health Resources at Day Creek Intermediate. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council accept $15,000 of Kaiser Permanente Grant Funds into F001 and appropriate $15,000 in revenue and expenditures to expand mental health resources at Day Creek Intermediate School.
BACKGROUND:
Kaiser Permanente’s San Bernardino County Community Health Grant program focuses on a variety of areas, including access to care, housing and homelessness, income and employment, education, and mental and behavioral health. Specifically for mental and behavioral health, Kaiser prioritizes applications that:
• Address youth mental health needs
• Build community-based capacity
• Promote trauma-informed care
• Enhance access to quality mental health services in schools, neighborhoods, and households to mitigate social isolation, trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety During the 2024 – 2025 program year, the Healthy RC Youth Leader’s Mental Health Group focused on mental health in middle schools. Through research, school outreach, and focus groups comprised of their peers, the Youth Leaders – many of whom attended Day Creek Intermediate School – identified substantial gaps in mental health resources available to middle school students compared with those offered at the high school level. Their findings showed a clear need for on-campus supports and accessible mental health education.
Based on these findings, the City submitted a letter of interest in Summer 2025 to apply for a Kaiser Permanente grant, specifically to address this gap by expanding mental health resources and access to services at Day Creek Intermediate School. Kaiser invited the City to submit a full application, and the Youth Leader Group’s research directly informed its development. The City was notified of the grant award in September 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The City was awarded $15,000 from October 2025 through October 2026 to implement targeted mental health supports at Day Creek Intermediate School. This effort is being carried out in partnership with the Etiwanda School District and Day Creek Intermediate School administration, who have expressed strong support for the project and will collaborate with the City to integrate the program into existing student wellness efforts. This partnership ensures that program activities are aligned with school needs, accessible to students, and sustainable throughout the grant period.
The project will pilot strategies designed to create a supportive environment that normalizes mental health conversations, connects students to essential resources, and encourages positive behavioral health practices. Grant Funds may be used towards:
• Furnishing an on-campus Wellness Center
• Delivering mental health programming and workshops
• Partnering with local mental health professionals for on-site support • Training staff and peer leaders to foster a culture of care and resilience Program Objectives include:
• Reduce stigma around mental health by integrating age-appropriate education and peer engagement opportunities
• Improve student awareness of and access to school-based and local mental health resources
• Promote early intervention and emotional well-being through consistent, visible supports on campus
The project is expected to directly serve 800–1,200 middle school students during the academic year, with additional benefits for families, educators, and school support staff. By aligning youthidentified needs with strong school partnerships and external grant funding, this initiative expands campus-based mental health resources, strengthens school capacity, and supports a culture of well-being that extends beyond the classroom.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No city funds will be used for this program. The full cost will be funded through the Kaiser grant and will not exceed $15,000.

INITIATED BY: Michael Parmer, Engagement and Special Programs Director SUBJECT: Consideration of an Appropriation in the Amount of $120,000 from RC Fiber Fund for the Necessary Design, Engineering, Permitting, Plan Review, and Project Management for the Distribution of the Fiber Optic Network as Part of the City’s Fiber Optic Master Plan. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve an appropriation in the amount of $120,000 from RC Fiber Fund 1711304-7004 for the necessary design, engineering, permitting, plan review, and project management of the fiber optic network.
BACKGROUND:
Entrust Solutions Group (Entrust also dba EN Engineering, Inc.) has worked with municipalities throughout the United States to deliver large-scale fiber broadband projects. They have expertise in navigating local regulations, permitting processes, and community engagement which is crucial for timely project completion. In 2018, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Entrust Solutions Group (previously known as Magellan Advisors, LLC) entered into a Professional Services Agreement (CO18-103) to provide the necessary design, engineering, permitting, and project management for the distribution of the fiber optic network as part of the City’s Fiber Optic Master Plan (Plan), including the operational parameters to connect the new fiber backbone to the City’s existing infrastructure. The original contract was approved at the regular City Council meeting on August 15, 2018, and was renewed at the regular City Council meeting on October 2, 2024, for a one (1) year term with three (3) one (1) year options for renewal.
ANALYSIS:
As the City’s municipal broadband network continues to expand, design services and project management are necessary for new development in determining new fiber connections and line extension opportunities for the Plan. The Entrust Solutions, Inc. staff continues to coordinate biweekly project update meetings with City staff, our Internet Service Provider (ISP) Onward, and our fiber optic construction team, Elecnor Belco. Given Entrust Solution’s knowledge of the project and master plan (developed in coordination with the City in 2017), along with their qualifications and expertise in the field, the City opted to exercise the first one-year contract extension to continue utilizing their services to monitor and provide oversight of the fiber optic design to ensure the project scope is maintained and achieved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fund from the Fiber Optic Network Fund (Fund 711) in the amount of $120,000 will be appropriated to 1711304-7004 – PID 1910-711. Under the agreement, Entrust Solutions, Inc.
receives a monthly payment of $4,500 ($54,000 per year) for project management services, including bi-weekly meetings with the City and the City’s contractors. The remaining funding is utilized on an as-needed basis for design services on new extensions, development of bill of materials, and for updating as-built drawings for inclusion into the City’s GIS system.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item brings together portions of the Council’s vision and core value by providing a sustainable City and promoting a safe and healthy community for all. Further, the implementation of the Fiber Optic Master Plan will enhance the City’s mission to embrace and anticipate the future of the community though an enhanced 21st century infrastructure that is critical for economic development for existing and new businesses as well as residential customers.

Attachment 1
RECOMMENDATION:
To accept a single source procurement for Entrust Solutions, Inc. for design, engineering, permitting, and project management services for RC Fiber.
BACKGROUND:
Entrust Solutions Group (Entrust) has worked with municipalities throughout the United States to deliver large-scale fiber broadband projects. They have expertise in navigating local regulations, permitting processes, and community engagement which is crucial for timely project completion.
In 2017, the City contracted Entrust (previously known as Magellan Advisors, LLC) to develop the City’s inaugural Fiber Master Plan. This plan outlined a high-level network strategy and design, prioritized infrastructure deployment strategies based on City corridors and zoning, and created a model for operationalizing municipal broadband.
In 2018, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Entrust Solutions Group entered into a Professional Services Agreement (CO18-103) to provide the necessary design, engineering, permitting, and project management for the distribution of the fiber optic network as part of the City’s Fiber Optic Master Plan (Plan), including the operational parameters to connect the new fiber backbone to the City’s existing infrastructure. The original contract was approved at the regular City Council meeting on August 15, 2018 and had four (4) one- (1) year renewal options, ending June 30, 2024.
ANALYSIS:
Entrust has in-depth knowledge of the City’s fiber infrastructure, having designed the entire system from inception, and worked in collaboration with the City to develop adopted standards and policies that guide strategies and fiber implementation. Continuity is essential to ensuring the City can continue to leverage Entrust’s existing knowledge and experiences to ensure planning and design transitions seamlessly to construction and field operations. Entrust’s familiarity of the City’s infrastructure, planning and permitting requirements, and community dynamics will help expedite projects, reduce challenges, and troubleshoot issues expediently.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of services provided by Entrust is for a monthly payment of $4,500 ($54,000 per year) for project management services, including bi-weekly meetings with the City and the City’s contractors.

SUBJECT: Consideration of the Purchase of Radios from Motorola Solutions, Inc. as a Single Source Vendor in the Amount of $28,390. (FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board authorize the single source purchase of three (3) handheld radios and miscellaneous related equipment from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $28,390.
BACKGROUND:
The fire service operates in unique and challenging environments. The life safety of firefighters and citizens depends on reliable, functional communication tools that work in the harshest and most hostile of environments.
Similar to self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and personal protective equipment (PPE), handheld radios are essential components of firefighter survival. Firefighters often work with limited or no visibility and with extreme noise levels due to fire apparatus, saws, hose nozzle operations, etc. Fire conditions often require firefighters to crawl on their hands and knees or perform job functions while lying down. Gloves, SCBA, and other PPE restrict vision, hearing and the manual dexterity required to operate radio controls. Not being able to see or hear makes fireground communications challenging. During interior firefighting operations, firefighters use their handheld radios to communicate with each other to assess the status of incident operations or to request specific firefighting tactics. Firefighters also use their radios to communicate with company officers to inform them of conditions. Most importantly, firefighters depend on their radios to call a Mayday. Handheld radios allow firefighters inside to communicate with personnel on the outside who may have a better vantage point from which to assess conditions – the size and location of the fire and building conditions. Information from outside can prevent crews from advancing into dangerous conditions inside.
In September 2003, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) released the document, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems, where on page 13 it states: “It is critical for firefighters to communicate with one another within a structure and with units operating outside the structure, regardless of the building construction.” The best way this can be done when crews are separated or in trouble are through the use of a personal handheld radio.
The Fire District uses Motorola 800 MHz handheld radios, which are the standard within the County and Region. They are a key component in maintaining interoperability with CONFIRE, Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, all other County first responder agencies, Cal Fire, and the US Forest Service during Mutual and Automatic Aid.
When the FCC agreed to restructure the 800MHz band- Nextel Sprint- part of the agreement was to exchange certain public safety radios that qualified. The radios issued as part of this re-banding are exclusively Motorola. The County of San Bernardino Information Services Department (ISD) is the administrator of this program. The Fire District has a contract with the County (ISD) for Monthly radio access and maintenance. County ISD solely maintains and programs Motorola radios. Motorola radios are the radios used on the 800 MHz trunking system infrastructure within our County and region.
In October 2023, the Fire District began a multiphase replacement of the Motorola 800 MHz handheld radios. Phase One consisted of the purchase of 75 Motorola APX 8000 radios. These radios were distributed to fire personnel who have the potential of entering a structure under hazardous conditions and needed access to the enhanced safety features of the new radios.
On August 20, 2025, the Fire Board approved Phase Two of the replacement of the Motorola 800 MHz handheld radios in the amount of $191,370. This included the purchase of 18 radios and miscellaneous equipment to be placed on the Fire District’s wildland apparatus and also build the Fire District’s cache of radios needed for upstaffing additional fire apparatus during wildfires and weather-related events.
ANALYSIS:
The Fire District has determined that three (3) additional radios and miscellaneous equipment need to be purchased during the current fiscal year in order to complete Phase Two of the replacement of 800 MHz handheld radios. The additional purchase will be $28,390 and result in a fiscal year total of $219,760.
In order to provide continuity of operations and ensure the health and safety of Fire District personnel, staff recommends utilizing another single source purchase with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the purchase of the additional 800 MHz handheld radios for current FY 2025-26.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase of replacement handheld radios was approved in the FY 2025-26 budget. A total of $340,000 was allocated in the Fire Protection Capital Fund under account F288 CC501 SC7002 P0089 (Capital Outlay – Equipment and Furnishings) for replacement of both 800 MHz radios and VHF radios. The purchase price for the additional Motorola 800 MHz handheld radios will be $28,390 and result in a fiscal year total price of $219,760.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve the Use of National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) Value Point Cooperative Agreement with CDWG, LLC in the Amount of $3,984,600 for the Procurement and Implementation of Network Hardware, Software, and Services, with a Contingency of $80,000. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend the City Council and Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District approve the use of a cooperative contract through NASPO Value Point AR3227, to CDWG, LLC for the procurement and implementation of network hardware, software, and services in accordance with the adopted fiscal year budgets.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s current networking hardware was originally implemented over 10 years ago. This critical infrastructure that enables communication between essential systems and services has reached end of life.
The manufacturer will no longer offer support or provide security updates for the City’s existing hardware. Once support lapses, the City will no longer be able to receive assistance from the manufacturer in the event of hardware failure or technical issues. Replacement parts will become increasingly difficult and expensive to source. Additionally, not having access to patches or software updates will leave the City open to considerable cybersecurity risk.
ANALYSIS:
The network refresh project will replace outdated networking hardware with modern, supported technology. This upgrade is essential for maintaining a stable, secure, and reliable network infrastructure to properly support the City’s current and future operations.
Given the critical nature of this investment, and to safeguard against potential cybersecurity leaks, the City intends to utilize a cooperative agreement to select a trusted and reputable vendor. Under the NASPO ValuePoint Data Communications (#AR3227) cooperative agreement, CDWG, LLC
has been deemed an authorized Fulfillment Partner for the state of California. Funding exists in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget for an additional $160,000 for anticipated implementation services. Staff are working to identify qualified vendors. A subsequent staff report will be prepared for City Council review in 2026 once a successful vendor has been selected.
Staff recommend utilizing the NASPO cooperative agreement to award the contract to CDWG, LLC for the procurement of network hardware, software, and support services for five years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient appropriation for the network refresh project is funded in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Adopted Budget. The annual support costs for years 2-5 will be included in future recommended budgets.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council's Core Value of intentionally embracing and anticipating our future.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Three-Year Professional Services Agreement with Empire Economics Inc., for Annual Forecasting of Expected Economic and Housing Growth Conditions, and Supplemental Analysis as Requested, in the Amount Not to Exceed $150,000. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a three-year Professional Services Agreement with Empire Economics, Inc. for the development of annual forecasts of the City’s economic and housing conditions, as well as supplemental analysis on an as-needed basis, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.
BACKGROUND:
Over the years, the City has partnered with Empire Economics, Inc. to prepare annual forecasts of economic and housing trends. The firm has also provided supplemental analyses on an as-needed basis, including studies related to high-speed passenger rail. As factors influencing the City’s economy and housing market continue to evolve, there is an ongoing need to understand the drivers behind these changes and their impacts on the community. The City’s previous three-year Agreement with Empire Economics, Inc. has expired, and Staff now recommends approval of a new three-year agreement.
ANALYSIS:
As the City continues to grow and evolve, understanding changes in economic and housing trends remains essential to informing future long-term planning and policy decisions. Empire Economics' scope of services is expected to remain generally consistent on an annual basis. However, supplemental work may be requested each year, or on an as-needed basis, depending on emerging issues or specific areas of interest. Staff anticipates that the annual scope of work will include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Forecast of the City’s Economic & Housing Conditions:
a. Preparation of an annual economic and housing market study, including forecasts of changes in the City’s employment sectors and housing market, as well as analysis of relevant monetary and fiscal policies and their potential impacts on the City
2. Characteristics of Currently Active and Forthcoming Projects a. Evaluation of competitiveness of the proposed product mixes, including expected market-entry times based upon demand for housing and project approval status, as well as estimated absorption schedules.
3. Analysis of Workforce Commuting Patterns:
a. Identification of workforce employment patterns across various household profiles.
Annually, the cost of services provided by Empire Economics, Inc. is expected to range between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the level of supplemental analysis requested. Staff anticipates that work will commence in late January, with a presentation of key findings to follow upon completion of the analysis. This timeline is expected to remain consistent over the threeyear term of the Agreement.
In conclusion, Staff recommends that the City Council approve a new three-year Professional Services Agreement with Empire Economics, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000. Under this Agreement, the City will receive annual forecasts of expected economic and housing conditions. In addition, supplemental analyses will also be provided on an as-needed basis, subject to staff request.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff has allocated funding for this work as part of the City’s annual budget process. Funding for the agreement will be provided through the Economic Development budget, specifically from account F001-CC301-SC2106. The total cost for the three-year contract period will not exceed $150,000.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s Core Values of “Intentionally embracing and anticipating the future”, and “Equitable prosperity for all” by ensuring that Rancho Cucamonga’s vibrant economy ensures prosperity and opportunities now and in the future.

SUBJECT: Consideration of an Award of a Professional Services Agreement for Five-Year On-Call Contract for Acting City Surveyor Services for Fiscal Years 2025/26 through 2029/30. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Enter into a professional Services Agreement (PSA) with HR Green to provide five (5) year on-call acting City Surveyor services for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2025/26 through 2029/30 with the option to renew in one (1) year increments not exceeding two (2) years and authorize the Mayor to sign the PSA on file in the City Clerk’s office; and 2) Authorize the City Engineer to appoint qualified employees of HR Green as acting City Surveyor and Acting Deputy Surveyor throughout the duration of the contract.
BACKGROUND:
Based on the projected workload and City needs, a new solicitation for on-call acting City Surveyor services was assembled and distributed to vendors. The City Surveyor provides technical knowledge and expertise in the field of Land Surveying in support of the City’s engineering services. Further, the City Surveyor performs certain statutory functions related to review and approval of survey documents such as subdivision maps and legal descriptions prepared by the City. These functions require licensure as a Professional Land Surveyor by the State of California.
Further, the City Surveyor provides training and mentorship to staff related the the field of Land Surveying that will result in better service to community.
Engineering staff provided a detailed Scope of Services to the Procurement Division for the purposes of establishing a qualified consultant list for a five (5) year on-call contract for acting City Surveyor services on an as-needed basis for various development plan check projects and City needs. A formal Request for Qualifications (RFQUAL) #25/26-500 was posted and advertised in the City’s electronic bidding system.
ANALYSIS:
In total, three (3) proposal responses were received for this on-call RFQUAL. An evaluation committee was formed and the proposal responses were evaluated and rated in accordance with the criteria specified in the RFQUAL. The highest ranking firm selected was HR Green. Staff has
determined that they are able to meet the needs of the City based on their qualifications, experience, scope, and fee schedule. Staff has finalized the proposed PSA with HR Green and recommends the proposed award for this consultant at this time. Upon execution of the agreement, the City Engineer will appoint qualified employees of HR Green as the acting City Surveyor and acting Deputy City Surveyor on behalf of the City.
The selected consultant provided a rate sheet with hourly rates for each position they may use under the contract. Staff have reviewed the rate sheet provided and found it to be reasonable.
The rate sheet is included in the PSA on file with the City Clerk. The rates are valid for the five (5) year term of the agreement. Commencing May 15, 2026, and each May 15 thereafter, the Consultant must notify the City in writing to request an increase in the annual rates for the contract.
The increase in rates will be reviewed and negotiated by City staff, and if approved, take effect on July 1 of that year. Any rate adjustment will require prior approval by City Council if they exceed the percentage increase in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (“CPI”) for the twelve-month period ending immediately prior to April 30. However, the rates will not increase by more than five percent (5%) for any given year without City Council approval even if the CPI increase exceeds that amount.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The services provided under this agreement will be billed on a time and materials basis per the rate sheet provided in the PSA. However, costs associated with legal document and map checking services not related to a City project shall not exceed 60% of the City plan checking fees. The plan checking fees are generally recaptured through development plan checking fees.
Sufficient appropriation has been included in the FY 2025/26 budget. The total annual cost for services for the five (5) year on-call period will not exceed $200,000 per year without City Council approval.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Engaging with qualified professional service vendors allows the City to intentionally embrace and anticipate our future by establishing the ability to utilize on-call capacity to achieve the community’s vision.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 002 to the Professional Services Agreement with Mary McGrath Architects for Conceptual Design Services in the Amount of $1,396,774. (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board approve amendment No. 002 to the Professional Services Agreement, CO# FD 2022-006, with Mary McGrath Architects in the amount of $1,396,774 for Conceptual Design Services for the rebuild of Amethyst Fire Station 171.
BACKGROUND:
On April 20, 2022, the Fire District and Mary McGrath Architects entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA), CO# FD 2022-006, for Conceptual Design Build services for the rebuild of Fire Station 171, ADA accessibility improvements at Fire Stations 173 and 174, and the addition of an urban park in front of Fire Station 173.
On August 21, 2024, the Fire Board approved contract Amendment No. 001 with Mary McGrath Architects for $139,519. The amendment modified the scope of services for Fire Stations 173 and 174 restroom improvements to a design-bid-build process and expanded the scope to include Fire Station 175 restroom improvements. In addition, the term of the agreement was extended to April 22, 2027 and the compensation not-to-exceed amount was increased to $585,457.
In order to expedite the rebuild of Amethyst Fire Station 171, the Fire District has determined the need to shift from a design-build process to a design-bid-build process. This shift will require the Fire District to have completed construction documents prior to going out to bid on the project.
Mary McGrath Architects has prepared the design-build bridging documents for Amethyst Fire Station 171. These bridging documents will be used as the basis of design for the project.
ANALYSIS:
Mary McGrath Architects has provided a proposal for full design services for the rebuild of Amethyst Fire Station 171. This change in scope will shift the station design from a design-build entity to Mary McGrath Architects, as well as reallocate budgeted funds between phases of the project. This project will require extensive on and off-site improvements, phasing of the temporary facilities to be installed prior to the start of the demolition process, and cell sites that will remain operational during construction. The following scope of work covers design through construction for both the temporary facilities and station:
• Task 1: Conceptual design.
• Task 2: Planning application and entitlement process. • Task 3: Design development and updated cost estimate. • Task 4: Construction documents and final cost estimate. • Task 5: Bidding, construction administration, and close out. • Task 6: Temporary Facilities Design.
Staff recommends that the Fire Board approve amendment No. 002 to CO# FD 2022-006 with Mary McGrath Architects to incorporate the following:
1. The parties will exercise the option to renew and extend Section 2, Term of Agreement, through April 22, 2029.
2. The parties will modify the scope of services for the rebuild of Amethyst Fire Station 171 by changing the process from a design-build to a design-bid-build process.
3. The parties will amend Section 3.1, Compensation, and increase the total not-toexceed amount from $585,457 to a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,908,293.
The new compensation amount includes a credit of $73,938 for the remaining tasks from the original design-build process, specifically design-build team selection and document review. All other Terms and Conditions of the original agreement will remain in full effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the amendment is $1,396,774. Funding for the rebuild of Amethyst Fire Station 171 has been approved in the FY 2025-26 budget and sufficient funds are available for this amendment.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item brings together portions of the Council’s vision and core value by promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, and by providing continuous improvement through the construction of high-quality public improvements.

RE: Full Design Services for Fire Station No. 171
Dear Ms. Vogel;
It is our pleasure to submit this proposal for the design, construction documents and construction support for the replacement of Fire Station 171. We appreciate the opportunity to continue our good working relationship with the Fire District and look forward to reviewing the scope of work prepared for this new effort. There was much work done by the Fire District staff and MMA in the development of the bridging documents. This next phase will closely follow those documents to guide the design and implementation of the construction documents. We will tour Station 178 as we start the design to gain an insight into what worked well and how the design of Fire Station 171 can benefit from the “lessoned learned” on that effort.
The replacement of Fire Station 171 is a complex project. There are extensive on and off‐site improvements; phasing of the temporary facilities to be installed prior to the start of the demolition process and cell sites to remain operational during construction. The extent of these site improvements include:
1. Undergrounding of the overhead electrical lines.
2. Relocation of street lighting.
3. Coordination with the City on the implementation of the Fiber‐To‐The Premise installation.
4. Coordination with the City’s Traffic Consultant for the signal pre‐empt at 19th street.
5. The replacement of the street paving to the center line of Amethyst St.
6. Demolition of the station, adjacent office building and removal of fuel storage tanks.
7. Maintain power service and access for the two cell providers on site during the demolition and construction phase.
8. Prepare the construction documents for the temporary facility concurrent with the station design so that the temporary facilities can begin construction ahead of the fire station project.
ATTACHMENT 1Page 264
Fortunately, our team has just implemented another fire station project with many of these same off and on‐site improvements and your project will benefit from that recent experience. We have prepared a detailed scope of work which encompasses these elements of the project as well as the design of the fire station with associated site improvements. We look forward to diving into the details of the fire station design and to creating a station design with you that reflects the residential scope and scale of the neighborhood and is operationally sound for the firefighters.
The following scope of work is broken down into 5 tasks that follow the course of the design process and into construction. The 6th task is the design through construction support of the Temporary Fire Station which will be implemented concurrently with the initial stages of the fire station design. I look forward to reviewing the scope with your team and getting started on this existing new fire station project for the Fire District. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District
Replacement Fire Station No. 171 Conceptual Design through Close‐out RCFPD proposes to construct a replacement Fire Station 171 with a new approximately 10,500 SF station.
The project site is located at 6627 Amethyst Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This is the site of the existing Fire Station 171. The existing station and site improvements will be demolished as a part of the project. The entire fire station parcel encompasses approximately 1.0 acres (43,804 SF). Directly to the north of this site is a property owned by Cucamonga Valley Water District. The Water District lot will be the location for a Temporary Fire Station. The design, approvals, construction, and removal of this temporary facility is a part of this project. (Refer to Task 6 for the scope of work for the temporary facility).
The existing fire station project site is adjacent to the USPS directly to the south, with the Cucamonga Valley Water District owned lot to the north. Across Amethyst Avenue is the Rancho Heritage School and a Senior Housing Complex. The site is located relatively centrally in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, almost directly south of the 210 and in the middle of the eastern half of the city limits. In general, the area around Fire Station 171 consists of residential single‐family homes, with a few higher‐density residential complexes and smaller‐scale office, shopping, and retail developments/buildings in the vicinity. The goal of the replacement fire station design is to compliment the residential neighborhood development with a design that blends with the residential scale of the neighborhood. The previously prepared Bridging Documents are to be used as a basis of design for this project.
TASK 1 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Task 1A: Conceptual Floor Plans and 3‐D Modeling
Approach
Design Meeting No. 1 ‐ Based on the bridging documents previous prepared for the Fire District, MMA will develop alternative conceptual building floor plans and massing options for review with the Fire District/City of Rancho Cucamonga PW Department Design Team (Fire District Design Team). We do recommend that a member of the planning department also be included as a working member of this Design Team.
The initial working session will evaluate floor plan options (one story and two story) and design massing options for each plan. The goal of this meeting is to identify successful elements of the plan and massing options. A selected option (or portions of each option) will be further refined as massing and exterior building finishes are further developed. Also MMA will present design images for review by the Design Team to further guide the massing and exterior finish development.
Conceptual design elements addressed at this initial meeting will include:
1. Review of site and floor layouts for further refinements.
2. Review of massing options and building images that can assist the team in determining an approach to developing the style of the fire station design. The goal is for the station to be residential in design and seen as a reflection of the residential neighborhood development is this area of the City.
Design Meeting No. 2: This second design meeting will include a presentation of the refined conceptual floor plan with building massing and exterior material options. MMA will prepare 3‐D models of the design options to demonstrate the design intent as a part of this process.
Page | 2
To support this effort, the electrical, structural, and mechanical engineers will respond to the final plan developed to provide insight on potential solutions for the main service locations and mechanical equipment locations to be incorporated in the design. Through input and direction provided at this meeting, the MMA team will develop a refined final design scheme.
Design Meeting No. 3: This final design meeting will include a presentation of the final refinement of the conceptual floor plans and building conceptual design. A building model will show refined options for the exterior material solutions, roof designs, building fenestration, and colors. MMA will refine the 3‐D model of this final scheme base on Design Team comments.
Deliverables
1. Architectural Conceptual Design – Final Conceptual Floor Plans, Elevations, and 3‐D Model of Building Design
2. MEP equipment placement within the conceptual floor plans and roof.
Duration
1. 4‐6 weeks
Meetings
1. 4‐5 Design Meetings (Virtual)
Task 1B: On‐site and Off‐site Conceptual Design Development Approach
The existing fire station and associated storage building are to be removed along with all paving landscape and site utilities for the creation of the replacement fire station and new site improvements. The existing war memorial display, plantings and bench along Amethyst Avenue are to be enhanced and integrated into the new fire station entrance design. The site is to be developed with concrete paving (roadways and walks), site lighting, an emergency generator with pad/enclosure, storm drain systems, new utilities, solar panel system on covered parking, landscaping, fencing, and gates. The project landscaping is to be designed to follow the City's landscape design requirements for drought‐tolerant plant selection and low flow irrigation systems. A library kiosk may be included in the project site design.
The existing overhead lines between poles #4420766E and #2052206E will be relocated underground per City requirements and the project is to be included in the City’s fiber Optic Master Plan. The design of pathways for the City owned Fiber‐To‐The Premise (FTTP) will be included. A signal pre‐empt is included in the site design to allow RCFPD to control the traffic signal at 19th Street and Amethyst Avenue upon a response alert.
We will work with the City’s Traffic consultant in the design of this system.
An Opticom control device is to be mounted on a new utility post directly across the street from the apron.
Existing cell towers are to remain and be protected in place. The cell sites are currently powered from an existing pole mounted transformer at 120/240v single phase to existing meter pedestals. The meter pedestals are impeding the construction of the new fire station building and will need to be relocated. MMA will include in the design the re‐route of existing underground conduits feeding the cell tower and provide new meter pedestal design per SCE requirements. The requirement for temporary power to each cell tower prior to demolition of overhead lines will be included in the design documents.

TASK 2 PLANNING APPLICATION AND ENTITLEMENT PROCESS
Task 2A: Planning Application and CEQA Process
Approach
The design of the fire station and site improvements is required to comply with Article VIII of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code (RCMC), known as the Form‐Based Code or FBC. While there is not a specific function or building type defined under the FBC for a fire station, it is thought that the Neighborhood General 3 (NG3) is the closest zone classification for this use. While not all criteria within the zone classification can be met, it is desired that the design meet the intent of the zone classification while meeting the operational requirements of the fire station use.
During the Conceptual Design Phase, MMA will work with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department to ensure that the project design receives early input from the Planning Department. The purpose of this review is as a Fire District Design Team Member, and it is to advise if the interpretation of the zoning code is appropriate as the design proceeds. During this task, the design team will prepare the planning application and documents necessary for the fire station planning application entitlement submittal.
It is our understanding that this project may qualify for a mitigated negative declaration as a part of the CEQA process since it is a replacement station on the same lot as it currently exists. The City Planning Staff will review and advise if this level of approval is feasible and engage a CEQA consultant to prepare the CEQA documents and filings.

The temporary facilities will be placed adjacent to the fire station site on a property owned by the Rancho Cucamonga Water District. The living quarters will be developed using a modular building system and a sprung structure will be used for the apparatus bay and fitness room. The site design and modular structures will be submitted for planning approval based on the existing concept drawings included in the bridging documents.
Both that modular building and the sprung structure will be defined by a performance specification and a conceptual layout. Foundation design for each of the structures will be completed by the MMA Structural Engineer. Each of these facilities are to be designed (except foundations), permitted, and installed by the manufacture.
The site design will be developed per similar standards to the fire station site. The MMA team will work with the Fire District Design Team and the RC Water District to define what site improvements are to remain when the temporary structures are removed.
