CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve construction of a joint trench crossing along Venture Pkwy for utility connections to lot 6A (5300 Venture Pkwy, Assessor’s Parcel Number 054-220-033-000) in the Stillwater Business Park in the amount not to exceed $100,000; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to do whatever is necessary to effectuate the work.

Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds to cover the cost of the work are available in the Stillwater Business Park Infrastructure account.

Alternative Action
City Council may choose not to approve construction of the utility joint trench or authorize the use of other City of Redding (City) funds for the joint trench work.

Background/Analysis
Lot 6 in the Stillwater Business Park was split following the completion of the infrastructure and to potentially attract more buyers to smaller lots. Lot 6A and lot 6B were created due to the lot split. In August 2023, lot 6A was sold to Redding Venture Partners LLC (developer) and the site now has an active building permit for a distribution facility.

The developer for lot 6A reached out to the City in regards to the costs they were going to incur to bring underground utilities to the subject property. The City advertises the Stillwater Business Park properties as shovel and utility ready. Due to the lot split, utility connections were not performed or considered. This left lot 6A without necessary utility connections.

Report to Redding City Council February 15, 2024
Re: 4.1(a)--Approve construction of joint trench in Stillwater Business Park for Lot 6A Page 2 Various options to bring utilities to the property were explored and the most cost-effective solution is to bring utilities directly to the site through a perpendicular crossing in front of 5300 Venture Parkway. The cost estimate for the joint trench is $40,000 to $80,000. Staff will work with other utility providers such as Pacific Gas and Electric Company for the joint trench.

Completing the joint trench will assist the City with completing our Stillwater Business Park readiness and the developer with the necessary underground utilities to serve their development.

Environmental Review
On June 6, 2023, City Council determined that the Redding Electric Utility Trench and Excavation Contract and associated project activities are categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. No further action is required.

Re: 4.5(b)--Award Bid Schedule No. 5365, Electric Utility Trench and Excavation Page 2 Utility excavation is an ongoing need and is necessary to support residential and commercial development and to support repairs and rebuilds of existing electric utility facilities. To streamline future procurement efforts, staff recommends extending this bid award for two additional one-year terms.

On April 20, 2023, two bids were opened for utility excavation work, as shown on the attached bid tabulation form. Iron Mountain General Engineering, Inc., submitted the low bid for the evaluated total of $822,800, which complies with the specifications and general conditions. The engineer’s estimate for this bid was $717,700.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities, structures, or equipment involving negligible or no expansion of use. Class 2 exemptions consist of replacement or reconstruction where the new structure will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of new small facilities and equipment, or conversion of existing structures.

The trenching and excavation contract will support REU’s effort to maintain, replace, upgrade, and construct small new facilities and convert existing service systems. The actions will occur in previously disturbed areas, have substantially the same purpose and capacity, and result in a negligible expansion of use. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. No further actions are required.

SUBJECT: 4.2(a)--Approval to apply for State of California Housing & Community Development CDBG-DR Workforce Development Program Funding.

Steve Bade, Assistant City
Manager
Packet Pg. 59
Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024
Re: 4.2(a)--CDBG-DR Workforce Grant Funding Page 2
Background/Analysis
On August 4, 2018, the Federal Emergency Management Agency published DR-4382, the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of California (State) in response to the devastating wildfires in Shasta and Lake Counties. During that same year, a separate disaster, DR-4407, was published for Butte, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

As part of the ongoing effort to assist the State with recovery from these disasters, the federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded CDBGDR funds to the State. These funds are being administered through the State’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) to assist those counties covered by DR-4382 and DR-4407. HCD undertook an extensive needs assessment to determine the specific recovery priorities for each of the affected counties. The resulting unmet recovery needs were categorized into four program areas: housing, infrastructure, economic revitalization, and planning.

As per the 2018 CDBG-DR Action Plan, HCD allocated $40,694,942 of the CDBG-DR funding to create the DR-Workforce Development Program. DR-Workforce Development projects are funded to assist with meeting the unmet workforce needs of affected communities and to address economic revitalization. Of these funds, the Shasta County region is allocated a maximum of $6,096,458 to be divided between successful applicants and projects.

This grant will provide workforce training to Shasta County through CHYBA to be used towards workforce development activities including categories such as construction trades, healthcare, emergency response, and culinary training. Additionally, they will refer clients to other workforce providers including the Shasta Builders’ Exchange, the Smart Center, and Shasta College. CHYBA will assist participants with supportive services to help trainees successfully access and participate in the workforce training program and support gainful employment. City staff will use their grant experience to apply for the grant, request payment draws and generally oversee the grant activities undertaken by CHYBA. City staff time will be paid by activity delivery from the DR-Workforce Development grant.

Should the application be awarded by HCD, upon Council approval and pursuant to the subject Resolution the City Manager would be authorized to enter into a grant agreement with HCD.

Environmental Review
Based on the facts of the record, applying for grants is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Furthermore, applying for grants is categorically excluded not subject to 58.5 and converts to exempt under National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). Upon the award of grant funds and prior to the commencement of project activities, separate CEQA and NEPA environmental reviews will be completed before any choice limiting actions occur.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply, accept, appropriate and implement the United States Economic Development Administration’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance Program in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 for infrastructure improvements located in the City of Redding Stillwater Business Park.

Fiscal Impact
Authorizing a grant application to the United States Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (PWEAA) Program may result in a grant award of up to $3,000,000 with at least 50 percent required from local matching funds.

Median household income, poverty indicators, indicators of economic distress, and disadvantaged community statuses may reduce the required local match to a 20 percent minimum. Matching funds may be cash, loans, bonds or in-kind and shall be unencumbered, unrestricted and committed at the time of award. Staff endeavors to provide match in the form of cash from Stillwater Business Park property sales and will bring back a final match plan to City Council (Council) prior to accepting the grant. It is estimated that the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2A project cost is $6,000,000.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose to not authorize a grant application to the EDA PWEAA Program. This action would require staff to identify alternative funding sources to assist with the Stillwater Business Park infrastructure development.

Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024
Re: 4.2(b)--Grant Application - Economic Development Administration Page 2 Background/Analysis
The EDA is an agency of the United States Department of Commerce that administers programs that are intended to boost economic development as measured by job creation and retention. The PWEAA Program offers funding to projects that align with regional economic plans and are expected to create or retain high-quality, well-paying jobs. The PWEAA also recognizes the roles that infrastructure and public works facilities can play in economic development at the regional and local levels. Public works projects that serve to provide economic access are eligible for investment from the EDA as jobs are created by improving workforce access or commercial development in a given area, and each is scored by its alignment with regional economic planning efforts.

On November 16, 2021, Council approved the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 (Stillwater Phase 2) Project in the amount of $1.5 million. This project funded specific consultant costs needed to plan and design the infrastructure improvements for the Stillwater Phase 2 Project as well as staff costs related to project development that encompasses surveys, environmental clearance, right of way acquisitions with appraisals and design work for road construction, wet and dry utilities installation, storm drains, street lights and other necessary items. Infrastructure improvements for the Stillwater Phase 2 Project include improvements from Old Oregon Trail through the Park on Venture Parkway and concludes at the intersection of Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. As part of this project, Dokken Engineering was contracted to provide 100 percent plans for the Stillwater Phase 2 Project.

Funding for the development of the Stillwater Phase 2 infrastructure improvements is presently being compiled by staff. In an effort to source funding for the infrastructure improvements, staff wishes to apply to the EDA for PWEAA grant funds to construct the infrastructure. However, since only limited funds are available for the PWEAA grant, the PWEAA grant application will not be for the entire Stillwater Phase 2 Project, but for a portion of the Project from the current cul-de-sac terminus of Venture Parkway, south to the second bridge that crosses Stillwater Creek, resulting in a partial construction phase of approximately one mile. These frontage improvements would start from lot 12 and end at the City of Redding lot, adjacent to lot 16 wherein Redding Electric Utility will be building a future substation.

The estimated construction cost for Stillwater Phase 2A of the project is $6 million. The maximum EDA PWEAA grant program limit is $5 million per project and grant advisors recommended submitting applications in the $3 million range to have better success outcomes.

Therefore, assuming a 50 percent match, the requested EDA PWEAA grant will be for $3 million.

Environmental Review
Applying for grant funds is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The construction phase of the project is presently being reviewed for CEQA and National Environmental Policy Act compliance.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize staff to develop a Request for Proposal for the design of infrastructure improvements for the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project; and adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 19th Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $1,500,000 for said purpose.

Fiscal Impact
The Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project is being funded by the General Fund. The attached budget resolution in the amount of $1,500,000 will fund ongoing project development costs for this project to ensure delivery timelines for prospective tenants. The General Fund has previous property sales to cover $650,000 of the projected cost, while the remaining amount is expected to be realized through near term property sales. The funding source of the construction of the necessary improvements has not yet been determined.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize funding for the design of Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project and provide staff with alternative direction. Without this project, the City of Redding (City) will not fulfill its obligation of providing a completed business park to its tenants. As developer, the City is responsible for providing adequate roadways, utilities, and various other infrastructure improvements to ensure the business park is useable for current and future tenants.

Re: 4.11(g)--Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Infrastructure Improvement Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
The City is responsible for infrastructure improvements at Stillwater Business Park, including street lights, paving, landscaping, and utility installation. At the mid-year budget review in February 2021, the Council approved an allocation of $500,000 out of the proceeds from land sales to fund the design of the infrastructure improvements at the Park.

In August 2021, the Council approved the appropriation of $150,000 for the construction bid for Phase 1C of this project that included the installation of street lighting on Venture Parkway from the Stillwater Business Park entrance at Old Oregon Trail through the east side of the northerly Stillwater Creek Bridge.

To continue the necessary road extension and utility work, staff is recommending an increase in project budget funds from the General Fund Capital Project Fund in the amount of $1,500,000.

This additional allocation is needed for staff and consultant costs related to project development including but not limited to surveys, design, environmental clearance, and right of way acquisitions with appraisals for the remainder of the improvements. The design work will include road construction, wet and dry utility installation, storm drains, street lights and other miscellaneous items to complete improvements to Venture Parkway from Rancho Road through the south end of the park to Fig Tree Lane concluding at the intersection of Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. The work will include widening projects along Rancho Road and Fig Tree Lane and intersection improvements that may include Rancho Road/Airport Road and also Fig Tree Lane/Airport Road.

With the sale of additional lots, the improvements which were halted need to resume in order to adhere to what was intended with the development of the park. This additional allocation will be funded with property sales receipts. Property sales in this fiscal year are in excess of $900,000, and it is anticipated that this fiscal year will see an additional $3 million in proceeds from additional land transactions. Additional work on the park will be budgeted for completion in the coming months.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions:
(1) Authorize the Director of Finance, or designee, to establish a General Fund commitment of fund balance for $2,458,000 for the Community Development Block Grant Section 108 Guaranteed Loan security for the South City Park Project; (2) Direct the Director of Finance, or designee, to reduce this commitment annually by the Community Development Block Grant or other Community Development Fund principal payments; and
(3) Direct the City Manager, or designee to update the reserve policy to reflect the treatment of committed funds.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed amount of funds approved by City Council (Council) to be borrowed from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) is $2,458,000 for the South City Park Project (Project). These funds would remain untouched unless the Federal Government ceases to fund the CDBG program.

Since CDBG funds will be used to repay the Section 108 loan, the first annual commitment of CDBG funds received will be paid towards this loan. Annually, other CDBG activities would be funded out of the remainder of the CDBG grant.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose to not approve staff’s recommendation and provide alternate direction to staff.

Steve Bade, Assistant City

Packet Pg. 69
Report to Redding City Council February 15, 2024
Re: 4.2(c)--City of Redding General Fund commitment of fund balance Page 2 Background/Analysis
On November 7, 2023, Council Adopted Resolution 2023-108 accepting a Section 108 Program Loan, pledging the City of Redding’s (City) general fund ($240,000) as security, and authorized the City Manager to execute a HUD Section 108 contract, note, and any other related documents pertaining to the loan. The General Fund commitment replaces this requirement.

Although the City’s obligation as borrower to make payments under the Section 108 Contract shall be payable first from CDBG funds, the General Fund is pledged as security in support of all obligations of the City as borrower under any notes executed by the City up to the amount of HUD's commitment for Section 108 Loan Guarantee Assistance.

Under California law, the Council cannot obligate future revenues without two-thirds of the voters of the public entity. Council can commit current resources through administrative action in order to establish a commitment of current available funds. This commitment will provide only collateral for the Section 108 loan obligation.

The risk to the City’s General Fund is low as the City has been an entitlement jurisdiction, receiving annual CDBG funding allocations, for more than 40 years. In the last five years, the annual entitlement grant has averaged $737,400. The annual loan payments are estimated to be under $240,000.

Once the General Fund commitment of funds balance is approved, the City Manager will execute and return the Section 108 Loan agreement and associated documents back to HUD for signature.

The General Fund balance is the difference between total assets, total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Whereas, the City’s cash reserve is the minimum cash balance maintained.

This General Fund commitment is committing available cash, if needed, for the payment of the loan. Since this is unlikely to occur the reserve policy will need to be updated to reflect the treatment of this type of commitment when computing the cash reserve.

Environmental Review
Applying for and accepting funding is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management activities such as applying for and accepting funding are considered exempt activities.

Site specific environmental studies are in progress for South City Park Redevelopment Project, and a NEPA determination will be made prior to receiving Section 108 loan funds.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and ratify submission of a grant application to the California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program in the amount of $438,563; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the grant agreement and all subsequent documents including administratively appropriating the funds if the grant is awarded.

Fiscal Impact
This California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program grant does not require matching funds. There is no negative fiscal impact in accepting this grant.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to ratify the grant application. The Redding Police Department (RPD) would lose the opportunity to focus additional efforts toward traffic enforcement.

Background/Analysis
On January 31, 2024, RPD submitted an OTS Selective Traffic Enforcement Program application for its 2024 funding year, which begins October 1, 2024. RPD requested funding for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to hire a dedicated Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Officer, increase traffic safety enforcement, and to purchase a traffic crash database system, in the amount of $438,563.

The DUI Officer will be dedicated to working DUI enforcement at night and during the weekends. The grant will fund overtime for the following traffic enforcement activities:
enforcing speed limits, deterring aggressive driving, conducting DUI checkpoints, saturation patrols, motorcycle enforcement, and bicycle/pedestrian enforcement. This year, the grant is MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024

Overtime funding has been requested for officers to provide education to the citizens through RPD’s Citizen’s Academy and to hold “Coffee with a Cop” events. These operations will provide the opportunity for citizens to interact with RPD and to have a better understanding of how traffic issues impact the community. Additionally, funds have been requested for training, and checkpoint supplies as well as a traffic crash database system. This equipment will allow for the vehicle data to be downloaded to help determine causes of crashes and can help in prosecution. This is a one-year grant lasting from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

Problem Statement:

In calendar year of 2023, the Redding Police Department (RPD) became fully staffed with 122 sworn officers. Of these 122 sworn officers, 55 officers are assigned to the Field Operations Division and responsible for day to day patrol operations, to include proactive field enforcement. Of the 55 sworn patrol officers, over fifty percent are in the range of one to five years of patrol experience. RPD has always had an expectation of its sworn staff to conduct proactive enforcement within our community, specifically in the areas of traffic enforcement.

With the expansion of new officer positions, the experience level and training in all areas of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws and enforcement, Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST’s), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), collision investigation, lidar/radar and report writing is crucial. While increasing sworn staff, the increase for training budgets was minimal due to costs needed for immediate equipment, vehicles and other items for increasing staff.

Training in these areas assist our newest sworn staff to be more informed, trained and ready to complete thorough and accurate reports for prosecution and court testimony.

Currently RPD is working to establish a set of POST trainings to provide to our newest sworn staff, most of which are in the areas of traffic enforcement and traffic related investigations. While RPD is working with SHIELD, a Public Safety Training Center located in Redding, to schedule trainings in far northern portion of the state, it remains a challenge. With the challenge to find traffic related trainings in the local community, its crucial to send some of the sworn staff to other locations to receive these much needed and imperative trainings.

The RPD Traffic Unit currently has four sworn officers, one community service officer and one parking enforcement officer. The primary job duty of the community service officer is to handle abandoned vehicle complaints throughout the city. The primary job duties of the parking enforcement officer are to enforce parking regulations throughout the City of Redding. The four Traffic Unit Officers and one Supervisor are responsible for the investigation of all major injury and fatal traffic collisions, special event planning, OTS grant coordination, field training new officers and community service officers and general traffic enforcement. This is the first time in numerous years that the Traffic Unit has been brought to full staffing including its non-sworn staff, however the Traffic Unit does not have a full time sworn officer for the purposes of DUI enforcement, which was a portion of the unit in years past.

RPD has continued to build a close working relationship with allied law enforcement partners to include the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff’s Department, CHP-Redding and the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office. These relationships allow a concerted effort to combat impaired driving on all of our community roadways, and assistance with major injury/fatal collision investigations.

During the calendar year of 2023, the Traffic Unit responded to nine major injury/fatal traffic collisions. Of the nine investigated collisions, six involved intoxicated drivers, to include alcohol and/or narcotic substances. One of these collisions has led to a murder charge under the Watson Rule Admonishment, the second prosecution of this severity in recent years. Of these six collisions, two were solo vehicle collisions where the driver was killed as a result of the collision.

In calendar year of 2022, the Traffic Unit responded to thirteen major injury/fatal traffic collisions, with only two involving driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2021, the Traffic Unit responded to eleven major injury/fatal traffic collision with only two involving intoxicated drivers.

Packet Pg. 76
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 3 of 21
Even though the major injury/fatal traffic collisions decreased in 2023, the number of drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs increased dramatically. In comparing the number of major injury/fatal traffic collisions from 2021 to 2023, the progress of reducing major injury/fatal traffic collisions can be viewed as being successful, however the increase of impaired drivers shows that there is a problem with impaired drivers on our local roadways. This increase in impaired drivers has also been found during day time traffic collisions, which are involving drivers being under the influence of narcotic substances and prescription medications.

Through the 2020-21 grant cycle, RPD had one officer funded through the Office of Traffic Safety STEP Grant for DUI enforcement. The position was eliminated due to lack of grant funding and low staffing levels for the department. When the position was funded, the DUI Specialist was responsible for making 235 DUI arrests, while 223 arrests were made from Field Operations sworn personnel. During this time the DUI Specialist was responsible for proactive enforcement of impaired drivers, assisted with collision investigations involving impaired drivers, was involved with the attending “A Sobering Choice Coalition” meetings, and was the field training officer for new hired sworn personnel. Losing the grant funded DUI Specialist position has shown that the lack of continued proactive DUI enforcement leads to more impaired drivers and collisions involving impaired drivers. Since fiscal year of 2021-2022 the RPD has seen a decrease in the number of DUI arrests made and an increase in DUI related traffic collisions. It is the goal of RPD to increase the number of trained officers in the areas of impaired driving detection (DUI) and arrests to help reduce the number of DUI related collisions and deaths, as well as impaired drivers in the community.

In 2022, Field Operations personnel were responsible for making 356 DUI arrests, compared to 345 arrests made in 2023. Of the DUI arrests made in 2022, 12 were for 23152(c), 42 for 23152(f), and 12 for 23152(g). In 2023, officers arrested 2 for 23152(c), 37 for 23152(f) and 4 for 23152(g). During 2023, a majority of the Field Operations personnel were busy training newly hired officers, with limited time focused on proactive enforcement efforts. During the 2023 year the overall DUI arrests decreased from 2022. The decrease of arrests involving drug impaired drivers could be contributed to new officers with minimal training or exposure to drug impaired drivers. In 2023, the Traffic Unit found an increase in drug impaired drivers involved in major injury/fatal traffic collisions.

RPD continues to perform OTS funded overtime enforcement and have met a majority of the goals and objectives for the 2022-2023 grant period. It is anticipated that the all the goals for 2023-2024 will be met with the addition of officers. Currently, four traffic officers and one sergeant are responsible for investigating all major injury and fatal traffic collisions. In addition to those duties, the traffic unit and officers are responsible for planning all major special events for the City of Redding, OTS grant coordination, field training for all new hires, educational presentations throughout the community and general traffic enforcement. It is the primary goal of RPD Traffic Unit to reduce the number of fatal traffic collisions from the previous year, with the specific focus to lower the number of major injury / fatal collisions involving impaired drivers.

RPD responded to a high call volume of 102,890 calls for service in 2023. Calls for service can impact and limit the time available for staff to conduct proactive traffic enforcement, specifically for impaired driving. Less proactive enforcement results in fewer DUI and traffic enforcement in areas that are prone to traffic collisions. A higher call volume also affects the ability for officers to respond to neighborhood speed complaints and deal with habitual traffic offenders.

In order to obtain goals of lowering the major injury/fatal collisions, impaired driving, traffic collisions involving pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists, educating the public is a key and efficient tool. Currently, RPD interacts with its community members via Packet Pg. 77
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 4 of 21
social media platforms and special interest group community meetings. RPD believes in working with the community to help solve problems, to include traffic complaints and concerns. While social media is a great way to help educate and inform the public and community members, the ability to talk with community members one on one and in person is more effective, and helps develop community trust and partnership.

It is also important to complete thorough investigations and provide the best evidence for successful prosecutions involving major injury/fatal traffic collisions. Successful prosecutions on dangerous driving behaviors can be one factor in helping educating and changing dangerous driving behaviors. Currently, most of this evidence is from witness statements, video surveillance, toxicology reports, vehicle diagrams, photographs and scene diagrams. Vehicle speed, braking and pre-collision vehicle factors are just as vital in providing factual speeds and braking information, which are often major factors in most collisions. This information is found in digital format in a vast majority of vehicles on the roadway, in our community. In order to obtain this information special equipment and training is needed to obtain and interpret the information.

Currently, the RPD Traffic Unit works with CHP MAIT from the Northern Division to obtain evidentiary evidence stored in the Vehicle Airbag Modules, utilizing the Bosch CD-R 900 Kit. In order to obtain assistance from CHP MAIT, a formal request has to be made via the administration, which could take several hours or days. Once the request for assistance is approved the next step is to provide CHP MAIT copies of reports, photographs and videos to review. Upon providing this information CHP MAIT provides a time that they are available, which can be within days or weeks. This availability is based on CHP MAIT’s schedule and on-going investigations. While RPD is thankful for its partnership and working relationship with CHP MAIT, the time frames to obtain this information can sometimes be detrimental to court proceedings. The best practice during investigations is to obtain evidence as soon as possible, and in order to prevent the loss of information/evidence or the ability to obtain this information/evidence. The Packet Pg. 78

Equity:

The Redding Police Department (RPD) values equity within the agency and our community. Redding Police Officers are held to a strict policy of policing equitably and fairly. Redding Police Officers are required to receive mandated training from California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). RPD has a specific policy that addresses Bias Based Policing and officers are held accountable for their actions and expected to conduct enforcement and general policing in a fairly. It is RPD’s mission to maintain this same accountability during any grant operation. Officers assigned to grant operations will be reminded of department policy regarding Bias Based Policing.

Strategies:

The Redding Police Department (RPD) will utilize all aspects of the anticipated OTS grant in a concerted effort to reduce traffic collisions and improve traffic safety within the City of Redding. RPD will continue to collaborate with the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, and Redding area California Highway Patrol (CHP) by conducting highly visible DUI enforcements, DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement operations, and public safety presentations. This would be in an effort to reduce the number of persons injured or killed in traffic collisions. These operations will be shared Packet Pg. 79
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 6 of 21
through the social media platforms of RPD and other participating agencies. These operations can also be discussed with community members through “Coffee with a Cop” programs and Citizen Academies.

The City of Anderson Police Department and Shasta County Sheriff’s Department had received OTS STEP grants for the fiscal year 2022-2023. RPD worked with both Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff’s Department and CHP-Redding to conduct four collaborative DUI Checkpoints in Anderson, Redding and City of Shasta Lake. Currently in this grant cycle, all agencies participated in collaborative DUI Saturation Patrols during the holiday season. RPD has mentored Anderson Police Department to get their traffic program up and running, including collision investigations, special event operations and traffic enforcement.

RPD looks forward to working with our allied agencies in the areas of DUI and traffic enforcement and education, with the goal of reducing DUIs and traffic collisions within our communities.

RPD is requesting funding for a full-time DUI officer. The addition of a DUI Specialist working nights, Wednesday through Saturday would be able to assist beat patrol officers by allowing them to handle calls for service in a timely manner and remain proactive in between calls. As an example, the DUI Specialist would be able to handle the DUI portion at the termination of a vehicle pursuit that involved a traffic collision. Additionally, the vast majority of our current patrol staff lack the training and time to conduct in depth DRE evaluations or complex DUI collision investigations. The DUI Specialist would be available on a call-out basis for any major injury/fatal traffic collision, or complex investigations.

The DUI Specialist also would work closely with the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office and be actively involved in the Victim Impact Panel. The Victim Impact Panel is a required attendance for any convicted impaired driver in Shasta County. The prior DUI Specialist was also DRE certified, a SFST instructor, field training officer, and was responsible for training new sworn officers in impaired driving. This is a required one-week training provided to all new sworn personnel and helps them gain experience and confidence to go forward and be proactive in impaired driving enforcement and arrests.

DUI saturation patrols have become an essential function for RPD in an effort to combat DUI driving and collisions. Saturation patrols increase DUI patrol presence and can help deter DUI driving behaviors. DUI Saturation patrols could be utilized on nights that a DUI Specialist is not working or in support of the DUI specialist to create a more effective presence. Saturation patrols can also be used on planned special event nights to help with proactive enforcement. These operations are scheduled during City of Redding major events, Kool April Nites, Redding Rodeo, Freedom Festival and Big Bike Weekend. DUI Saturation Patrols are also utilized during holidays and major sporting events such as the Super Bowl.

OTS funded DUI checkpoints are used in conjunction with saturation patrols, and conducted in areas throughout the City of Redding with high visibility and known DUI activity, and major injury/collision locations. Social media has been a proactive and important tool that is utilized by the RPD to assist in notifying, educating and informing the public the dangers of driving while intoxicated. While some of our checkpoints have resulted in DUI arrests and citations for unlicensed and suspended drivers, the true success of these checkpoints can be measured by the number of citizens that have been contacted and educated on the dangers of impaired driving in our community.

Shasta County has continued to see a significant number of people who are failing to appear in court. These failures to appear create a backlog for the over-burdened judicial system, from officers having to issue offenders citations for a new court date or Packet Pg. 80
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 7 of 21
transporting them to jail for booking. All of this creates an additional strain and burden on patrol and jail staff. Recently the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department has added additional jail space allowing for offenders to be held in custody. A pre-existing program for apprehending chronic offenders has been re-established and could be utilized for holding repeat DUI offenders or serious traffic offenders accountable.

Warrant sweeps and surveillance operations provide additional overtime to assign officers to locate violators who are failing to appear. This is effective because officers can work hours when violators are most likely to be found at their residences. The warrant sweep and surveillance operations are publicized through RPD social media platforms, and can encourage violators to appear in court as required. Warrant sweeps and court sting operations work hand in hand to ensure the follow through of those facing DUI or driving on suspended license charges. During the recent 2023-2024 grant cycle, RPD has received funds for warrant sweeps, which is currently being planned.

With months of ideal motorcycle riding weather, during both day and night, and miles of scenic roadways, Redding has a large number of motorcycle enthusiasts. Each year the City of Redding sees a large number of motorcycle riders utilizing the roadways within the city. It is the goal of RPD to support safe motorcycle operations by enforcing traffic laws related to motorcycles and promote driver awareness regarding sharing the road with motorcycles. During the past OTS grant cycle, RPD had an increase in motorcycle collisions and fatalities. In 2020 RPD was ranked 3 of 106 in collision involving motorcycles, and ranked 1 of 105 in 2021. With an increase in major injury / fatal traffic collisions, RPD will utilize overtime along with patrol staffing to focus on traffic enforcement efforts focused on motorcycles and reducing the amount of collisions.

With the recent addition of two additional motorcycle officers, the current RPD Traffic Unit consists of four officers, and one supervisor and will be able to focus on enforcement as a team throughout the City of Redding. RPD would also look to include collaborative enforcement with allied agencies, as well as use social media to publicize these enforcement details and provide education regarding awareness during state and nationwide traffic safety specific campaigns. This multi-facetted approach includes education through enforcement, education through social media and education through high visibility.

Distracted driving continues to be an ongoing issue with drivers in our community, including new drivers. RPD would like to continue aggressive enforcement of distracted driving during the next cycle. These enforcement details would be in the form of individual details and highly visible team efforts. Knowing that social media is the new form of receiving and relaying information, RPD has a proactive social media team, which the traffic supervisor and one traffic officer are a part of. These distracted driving details and educational material regarding distracted driving would be published through social media platforms. The RPD Traffic Unit is working with School Resource Officers to do presentations in local high schools to help educate teenage drivers on the dangers of driving while distracted, with the ultimate goal of educating the younger drivers and preventing collisions.

RPD has relied on OTS funding to assist in sending officers to critically important training such as DRE, ARIDE and SFST trainings. These trainings are vital to the agency and to the OTS grant operations in keeping veteran officers qualified and providing new officers with the tools necessary to conduct DUI investigations, and using up to date best practice procedures for successful prosecutions. This past year the RPD has hired over 30 new officers, many of them being from POST academies. These newer officers will need additional training in areas of SFST, ARIDE and DRE, beyond what they received in the POST academy and field training. This will assist them with traffic enforcement, DUI detection, enforcement and investigations. Having proficiently Packet Pg. 81
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 8 of 21
trained officers in these areas will assist the RPD in actively working towards lowering the number of DUI related collisions and fatal accidents in the City of Redding.

Officers who have attended these trainings typically return with enthusiasm and use the training effectively in the areas of DUI enforcement. Many of the new officers in the RPD are looking to have advanced training in DUI and DRE. It has remained the goal of the RPD to have a DRE certified officer available on patrol shifts. RPD has been actively recruiting from our newest patrol staff for DRE positions. We recently have several officers that have been interested in this role and have established a list for the DRE certification. This will assist in combating the recent rise in DUI cases that involve narcotic substances and combination DUI’s.

The RPD Traffic Unit plans on sending two of the four assigned officers to SFST instructor school. Having two certified SFST instructors will allow the RPD to host SFST/ARIDE training locally for the agency and the allied agencies in the area.

Recently, the SHIELD Training facility was established and provides a location for trainings to occur for public safety agencies. The SHIELD facility is sponsored by Shasta College and is a local training consortium. RPD has hosted recent POST approved classes through the SHIELD for allied agencies. RPD currently maintains a POST approved SFST lesson plan and has had two prior SFST instructors, who are no longer with the department.

RPD is requesting funding to purchase a Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system. This past OTS grant cycle, the RPD Traffic Unit was responsible for handling nine major injury/fatal traffic collisions within in the City of Redding. Of these nine cases, three of them involved speed as a factor. Of those three cases two have a possible prosecutable factor due to the speed, along with intoxication. Recently the RPD Traffic Unit has been requesting the assistance from CHP Northern Division MAIT in conducting vehicle Crash Data Retrieval (CDR). This process is done by utilizing the Bosch CDR Tool, which is commonly used for major injury and/or fatal traffic collisions.

This tool allows crash data obtained during an event such as an airbag deployment, change of speed during an event, driver input and other factors pre-collision, during and post collision. Of this information that is obtained further information such as impact severity, steering input, accelerator input, ignition status and seatbelt status. Some of this information is crucial in collision investigations, when trying to identify injuries, use of safety equipment and pre, at and post collision vehicular mechanics. With the current change in vehicle technology, the majority of vehicles are now equipped with an anti-lock braking (ABS) system. For years, collision investigations would rely on vehicle skid marks for speed calculations, and now with the invention of ABS systems, skid marks are often times not present in major collision scenes. The pre-collision data that could be obtained from the Bosch tool could also be used to judge the accuracy of speed calculations that were obtained from physical evidence that was obtained on scene such as skid marks.

The Bosch CDR Tool can also be utilized in collisions that have no witnesses or survivors. The RPD Traffic Unit had recently worked a single vehicle fatal traffic collision where speed was an obvious factor, and if having been able to utilize this tool, things such as the driver’s pre-collision input and speed would have been documented for this collision.

Information that has been obtained from CDR data has been deemed admissible as evidence in court cases, however physical evidence, and contextual information must be utilized as well in court to prove reliability. This requirement of further evidence will provide traffic officers to continue to use all knowledge and tools in collision Packet Pg. 82
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 9 of 21
investigations available to them to provide an in-depth investigation. This will continue through the court process and provide officers the ability to testify to all factors in collision investigations that would be prudent for successful prosecutions.

A goal of the RPD Traffic Unit is to conduct thorough and consistent collision investigations, utilizing all tools necessary to provide a prosecutable case should it rise to that level. The RPD Traffic Unit works closely with the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office and prosecutors on all major injury and fatal DUI related collisions that have potential for prosecution. It is RPD’s goal to provide all evidence necessary in these investigations, and the use of the Bosch CDR Tool would allow us to obtain speed which has been a consistent factor with most recent collision investigations involving major injuries and fatalities.

RPD recognizes the importance of working with allied agencies such as CHP in the areas of enforcement and investigations, and are thankful for their assistance, however each request for this tool requires an approval from CHP MAIT command staff. If the assistance is approved, we are then tasked with scheduling around their on-going case investigations and availability. By having our own Bosch CDR Tool, the RPD Traffic Unit will be able to work major injury / fatal traffic collisions in a timely fashion. The Redding Police Traffic Unit would rely on CHP MAIT at times for questions and best practices, as it would relate in the effective use of the Bosch CDR Tool.

It is believed that by providing necessary evidence in some collision cases, the RPD and Shasta County District Attorney’s Office can better utilize the justice system to help hold serious offenders accountable in collision investigations. This accountability can also be perceived by the community as educational in the fact that prosecution is a function of accountability, and that accountability can sometimes change behaviors. In the realm of collision investigations, the goal for RPD is to reduce the number of collisions involving speed, DUI and distracted driving. Bosch is an American corporation and qualifies under the Buy American Act. This tool is utilized by several law enforcement agencies through Packet Pg. 83

the State of California and the United States.

Agency Qualifications:

Moving into the 2024-2025 grant cycle, the RPD looks forward to its continued partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety. RPD utilizes a Management Analyst and Traffic Sergeant to execute and monitor the STEP grant to ensure grant goals are met while effectively utilizing grant money to fund traffic enforcement overtime and purchase necessary equipment. Patrol personnel, both sworn and non-sworn, work hard to complete, and in many instances exceed, all of the grant objectives in addition to their regular duties and other overtime responsibilities.

The Traffic Sergeant will continue to oversee the OTS STEP grant. The Traffic Sergeant is responsible for the day to day operations, press releases and social media posts.

Additionally, they oversee collision investigations and grant activities. The sergeant also coordinates with other allied agencies to include the Anderson Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, CHP and non-profit organizations that share similar goals with OTS. This will be the Traffic Sergeants fourth year managing the OTS grant.

The Traffic Sergeant has received extensive training regarding the expectations and requirements in managing OTS grants. The RPD Management Analyst has over 25 years of experience working for the City of Redding managing various grants. She currently oversees the 2023-2024 OTS STEP grant. She has attended several OTS grant meetings and familiar with the OTS grant expectations and requirements.

All RPD personnel and volunteers have a comprehensive background check conducted before they participate in any department activities.

Community Collaboration and Engagement
Provide a description of the community collaboration and engagement activities that will be conducted by your department and addresses traffic safety. Community collaboration and engagement allows for the appropriate department personnel to engage in conversations to both share information and receive input from the community members regarding traffic safety.

Packet Pg. 84
Attachment: Completed grant application (4.9(a)--Ratify Office of Traffic Safety Grant Application) Application :: Page 11 of 21
Community Collaboration and Engagement:

RPD believes in a positive, proactive and working relationship with its community members and business owners. This relationship is crucial to help maintain working relationships, and keep the community safe. It has been the goal of RPD to create a program that helps build positive relationships, transparency, create better communications and trust from the community. One way to establish this relationship is to involve community members with a Citizens Academy. RPD has created a nine-week program that will involve twenty community members that have expressed interest in the program. Each weekly program will be a three-hour block in which the citizen group of twenty will be educated on a division or program of the RPD.

These blocks of training will include topics such as Traffic Operations. The twenty-person citizens group will be informed on the day to day operations of traffic officers, collision investigations, Impaired Driving Investigations, traffic enforcement stops. During this block two officers will discuss the policies, laws and procedures with the citizens group, as well as engage the group in educational discussions on these topics. The goal of these engagements is to help the community members understand the role of law enforcement and the steps and procedures conducted in traffic stops, DUI investigations and collision investigations.

Other class blocks will include Law Enforcement Operations, Investigations, SWAT, and Community Policing. These are just a few examples of the program that is intended to engage community members with members of RPD, to create discussion and education. These classes will also provide educational material to the involved members, to include reading material and informational aides. The staffing for these instructional blocks is being done on overtime with two to three sworn personnel responsible for each instructional block.

Given the population size of the City of Redding and the time commitment needed to attend a nine-week citizen academy, many community members will not be able to participate. Events such as “Coffee with a Cop” can be utilized as another way to connect with some of these community members as well. These events are also important and allow the community to interact with sworn personnel of the RPD, and engage in conversation on topics that are driven by community members, such as neighborhood complaints, traffic complaints, concerns, and community goals. During these events sworn personnel can interact with the community outside of an instructional, more formal setting. These events can also be held at local coffee businesses throughout the City of Redding that will also engage our local business owners and members.

RPD will utilize social media platforms to recognize these events and promote the programs and events. Social media will also be used to share the topics and educate the public on the individual events and topics of discussion. By using social media, it could create further community member involvement, and create a long standing educational and interactive program.

Budget
Personnel Costs
Hourly Rates - When requesting hours for personnel, enter them as straight time or overtime (for Enforcement Overtime, please use section below) and include the amount of hours that they will spend on grant operations.

Example: Personnel getting paid 100% by the grant working a full year at $41.00 per hour would be entered as Straight time, 2080 Units, $41.00 Unit cost or Rate, and 100% Percent Paid by Grant. This gives a total of $85,280.00 for the year.

Benefits – If requesting benefits for personnel, enter all benefits as a separate line item for each. Start the Item Name with the word 'Benefits', enter the corresponding straight time or overtime total amount in the Unit Cost or Rate, and enter the Benefits Rate to have the system calculate Benefit Costs. (Unit Cost) X (Benefits Rate) = Benefit Costs. To properly relate benefits to the correct personnel line item use the Display Order field, for example use 100.0 for Display Order for the personnel line item and 100.1 for Display Order for the associated Benefits.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following for the City of Redding Solid Waste Utility:
(1) Authorize the purchase of one 2024 Kenworth T380 chassis using Sourcewell contract pricing with a net delivered cost of $124,050.59 including all applicable taxes and fees; (2) Award Bid Schedule 5441 to the apparent low bidder Interstate Assembly Systems for the purchase of one 2023 or newer Heavy Equipment Service Body with Crane (Service Body) with a net delivered cost of $192,889.13 including all applicable taxes and fees; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed due to inflation and unstable economic conditions up to a total of $30,000.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the acquisition of this service truck was planned for in the West Central Landfill Rolling Stock Replacement Fund and approved by the Solid Waste Disposal Committee in June of 2023.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to authorize the purchases as recommended and provide alternate direction to staff.

Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024
Re: 4.11(a)--Purchase One 2024 Kenworth T380 Chassis Using Sourcewell Contract Pricing and One Page 2
Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) is responsible for performing daily operations at the West Central Landfill which is a 1,200-acre site located in Igo. The service truck is an essential piece of equipment used by the mechanics to perform maintenance and repairs on heavy equipment at various locations throughout the site (leachate ponds, scale house, pump house and methane flare). A properly sized and equipped service truck provides staff a mobile vehicle, equipped with many of the tools needed to make repairs in the field, away from the shop. It is more efficient for most repairs to be done in the field, instead of transporting slow moving equipment to the shop. Mobile maintenance is being utilized even more than in the past, given that the working face is moving further from the shop location as the landfill grows in size. The new service truck will replace the existing unit (a 1992 Ford F800; approximately 32 years old) that has reached the end of its expected lifecycle and is undersized for current operations as the existing unit’s crane limits the repairs that can be performed in the field.

Staff recommends purchasing the Kenworth T380 off the Sourcewell contract due to the cost savings realized through cooperative agreements. The Sourcewell contract was competitively bid. In addition to being an industry standard, using the Sourcewell contract to purchase equipment saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract.

The service body was put out to competitive bid with three bid opportunity notices distributed to potential vendors, in addition to posting on the City’s website and advertising in the Record Searchlight. Two bid responses were received; the apparent low bid in the amount of $192,889.13 was submitted by Interstate Assembly Systems.

Environmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C5900) for the Old Alturas Road Bridge over Churn Creek Project:
(1) Approve the Fifth Amendment to the Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C5900) with Morrison Structures, Inc., in the amount of $36,503.12, for a total not to exceed fee of $596,308.07;
(2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to approve additional contract amendments not to exceed $40,000.

Fiscal Impact
The total project cost of the Old Alturas Road Bridge over Churn Creek Project (Project) is estimated at approximately $9.5 million dollars. The Project is 88.53 percent funded by the Federal Highway Bridge Program, with the remaining 11.47 percent being funded by the City of Redding’s (City) Transportation Impact Fee fund. The total Project cost includes a consultant contract with Morrison Structures Inc., (Morrison) to provide bridge design services through construction. This amendment will increase Morrison’s consultant contract by $36,503.12.

See table below for a summary of amended costs to Morrison’s consultant contract (table only includes amendments that adjusted the contract amount).

Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024
Re: 4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to authorize the amendment and provide staff with an alternate direction. Without the proposed amendment, Morrison will not be able to provide services during the construction phase of the bridge which would leave staff unable to use Morrison to provide bridge engineering solutions or technical input related to issues that may arise during construction.

Background Analysis
Over the course of the Project there have been a substantial increase in professional services required, mostly associated with the extended project duration due to cultural concerns. As a result of identified cultural sites the engineering design was revised to avoid certain areas which in turn created additional design costs. At the time of these design changes there was sufficient budget in the overall consultant contract. However, now that the project has moved into the construction phase, the additional funds requested in this amendment will allow Morrison to continue to provide engineering support during construction as necessary. The amendment has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

At the February 5, 2013 Council meeting, authorization was given to negotiate a contract for the Project. The contract was executed in March 2013. In September 2015, June 2017, and again in June 2022, administrative amendments were executed to update the end date of the contract. In addition, in August 2020 staff went to Council for approval of an amendment to increase the project funding to complete the design. At this time, the project has been awarded to a contractor, however, there is still work to be done by Morrison that falls under Task 11 - Assistance During Bidding and Construction.

The Old Alturas Road bridge was constructed in 1964 and is currently designated as “functionally obsolete” per California Department of Transportation Bridge Inspection Reports.

This designation is largely due to the amount of traffic using the bridge and the lack of shoulders, pedestrian facilities, and turning movement capacity. The Project will rehabilitate the existing 28-foot-wide bridge to a 67-foot-wide bridge with three travel lanes, two 8-foot shoulders, two

5.5-foot sidewalks, and new concrete barrier rails on both sides. These improvements meet the requirements of both the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and the City.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On December 6, 2016, Council adopted Resolution 2016-126 approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approving the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project, thereby satisfying the requirements of CEQA. No further action is required.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
ITEM NO.

DATE: January 24, 2013
B- 050- 100/ S- 070- 050
CITY
FROM: Brian Crane, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Award Request for Proposal No. 4507 and
Authorize Negotiation and Execution of a
Consulting and Professional Services
Contract for the Old Alturas Road Bridge
over Chum Creek Replacement or
Rehabilitation Project
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council ( Council): ( 1) select Alternative 1 to award Request for Proposal No. 4507 to Morrison Structures, Inc., and authorize staff to negotiate a consultant services contract; ( 2) authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with Morrison Structures, Inc., to provide project management, preliminary and final design, environmental compliance, right-of-way coordination, and technical assistance during bidding and construction services for the Old Alturas Road Bridge over Chum Creek Replacement or Rehabilitation Project for a not- to- exceed fee of 350, 000; and ( 3) authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed 40,000. Funding for these services will come from the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program ( HBRR) and will be matched with City Traffic Impact Fees ( TIF).

Background
On April 19, 2011, the Council approved the submittal of an application for federal funding for the rehabilitation or replacement of the Old Alturas Road bridge over Chum Creek located approximately 500 feet east of Victor Avenue. The bridge was constructed in 1964 and is currently designated as " functionally obsolete" per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports, largely due to the amount of traffic using the bridge and the lack of safety shoulders and turning-movement capacity.

The project will either rehabilitate or replace the existing two- lane bridge with a three- lane, pedestrian- accessible bridge.

The total project costs for the replacement or rehabilitation of the Old Alturas Road bridge are expected to be in the $ 3 million range.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
In September 2012, a formal Request for Proposal No. 4507, outlining the specific scope of work, was advertised. Proposals were required to include separately proposed fees for the entire scope of services. Proposals and fee schedules were received on October 23, 2012, from four firms.

A review and selection panel was formed with members from the Public Works Department. Based upon proposal review and experience, the panel ranked the firms as follows:

Re Award RFP - Old Alturas Road Bridge over Churn Creek Replacement January 24, 2013

2 $ 400, 000. 00
3 $ 369, 375. 28
4 $ 485, 209. 00
Proposals were evaluated based on their understanding of the scope of work, ability to meet the proposed schedule and maintain the project budget, experience and qualifications of the proposed staff, ability to work with City staff, and geographic location ofthe team. Applying the criteria to the proposals, the selection team chose to interview the two top- ranked firms- Cornerstone Structural Engineering Group and Morrison Structures, Inc. After completing the interview process, the selection panel determined that Morrison Structures, Inc. ( Morrison), was more suited for this project. Most recently, staff worked with Morrison on the design and construction support of both bridges within the Stillwater Business Park. During these projects, staff formed a positive working relationship with Morrison and is confident in their timely delivery and final product. At this point, staff has not had the opportunity to work with Cornerstone to develop this same level of comfort.

In addition, Cornerstone' s office is located in Fresno, California, making immediate access to the job site, particularly during construction, a potential issue when timely decisions need to be made. The selection team chose Morrison as the most qualified team to provide the required services.

Federal funding requirements dictate that the consultant selection process be qualification- based, not by cost, as long as the fee is reasonable. After review of the fees for the two top-ranked consultants, it is apparent to staff that Cornerstone underestimated the fee in survey, utility coordination, and services during construction tasks, while Morrison overestimated the fee in the advanced planning study and preparation of contract document tasks. However, in preliminary negotiations with the top-ranked consulting firm, Morrison, it was determined that based on some assumptions made at the time ofproposal, the fee could be modified to $350, 000. Based on previous similar projects and the other proposed fees, staffbelieves Morrison' s modified fee is reasonable for the scope of services for this project.

As part of this project, the consultant is required to coordinate with City staff to identify any right-of-way required for the project. If it is determined that right-of-way will be required, the consultant may be tasked to provide additional right-of-way services or other unexpected contract modifications. Staff recommends the approval of an additional $40, 000 in contingency reserve for this contract. If this reserve needs to be utilized, a
scope amendment would be negotiated with the
consultant and the contract would be modified with approval of the City Manager.

Issue
Should the Council award Request For Proposal No. 4507 to Morrison Structures, Inc., and direct staff to negotiate and execute a contract for engineering and design services for the Old Alturas Road Bridge over Chum Creek Replacement or Rehabilitation Project for a not- to- exceed fee of$ 350, 000 and authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $ 40, 000?

I
Re Award RFP - Old A,lturas Road Bridge over Churn Creek Replacement January 24; 2013

Alternatives; Implication ofAlternatives
The Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:

1. Award the Request for Proposal No. 4507 to Morrison Structures, Inc., and authorize staffto negotiate, and the Mayor to execute, a consultant services contract with Morrison for design services for the Old Alturas Road Bridge over Chum Creek Replacement or Rehabilitation Project for a not- to- exceed design fee of $350, 000. Further, authorize a contingency of 40,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute contract amendments for the contingency amount. This will allow staff the flexibility to refine the scope of services as needed to complete a project that is in the best interests of the City. ( Staff Recommendation)

2. Do not award the Request for Proposal No. 4507 at this time and direct staff not to pursue this project. This alternative will delay or eliminate the construction ofthe improvements. Since this bridge is designated as functionally obsolete, delaying or eliminating construction of this project will lead to increased maintenance costs as well as unsafe conditions for pedestrians.

3. Provide other direction to staff.

Fiscal Impact
All funds are allocated from the HBRR Program ( 88. 53 percent) and the TIF ( 11.47 percent). The total project cost is estimated in the $ 3 million range.

Conclusion
This bridge has been designated as " functionally obsolete" per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports.

Morrison has the necessary resources and expertise to provide the required services to prepare this project for construction. Therefore, staff recommends that the Council select Alternative I as listed above.

orks Dire or 11/ 23/ 2016 Carman 11/ 281201
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approving the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project as described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Guidelines § 15074).

Background
The City of Redding Department of Public Works proposes to rehabilitate the existing four -span, 143 -foot -long by 28 -foot -wide reinforced concrete bridge over Churn Creek on Old Alturas Road. Rehabilitation would include widening the bridge deck, pier walls, and abutments, and widening the roadway on either side of the bridge. Approximately 88 percent of the project is funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program.

The first order of work will be completion of two temporary access roads across the channel for equipment and vehicles. The contractor may also create a temporary access pad beneath the bridge to be used as a road/work platform. The pad and access roads would be made up of clean, uncrushed, rounded river rock with no sharp edges; temporary culverts would divert any stream flows through the site. All temporary work pads and stream crossings would be removed during the winter months as approved by the various resource agencies.

Following completion of the access roads, the existing abutments would be extended to 67 feet.

The existing 1 - foot -wide pier walls would be extended to 66 feet, and ten 50 -foot -long, 30 -inch -diameter piles would be installed to provide support for the pier extensions. Rock slope protection would be placed 21 feet upstream and downstream of the new pier walls and be placed in a 15 -foot -wide zone around the abutments. Upon completion of work around the pier walls and abutments, the bridge deck would be widened. The new concrete bridge deck would measure 67 feet wide and would include a 14 -foot -wide center turn lane and two 12 -foot -wide lanes, each with an 8 -foot -wide shoulder and a 6 -foot -wide sidewalk with a barrier. Pile driving may be required for the placement of falsework piles and for the installation of sheet piles around the pier walls and abutments for dewatering purposes and as temporary retaining walls.

Re: 4.11( 1) -- Adoption of Old Alturas Road at Churn Creek Bridge Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 2
western and eastern approaches to the bridge would require ± 600 and ± 1, 000 feet of road work, respectively; this would include minor widening of the roadway near the bridge to match the width of the new bridge deck. New storm drains and catch basins would be constructed to adequately drain the improved roadway along the north side of both the east and west approach roadways and along the south side of the east approach roadway. In addition, affected driveways would be modified to conform with the new roadway.

Staged construction would be used to build the bridge while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction; periodic traffic control may be required during critical construction events. An existing 12 -inch -diameter water line and a 4 -inch -diameter gas line would be relocated to the new edge of deck, and electric utilities would be relocated to the edge of the right- of-way. The project will require additional right-of-way to accommodate the new bridge and sewer line.

Temporary construction easements would also be required for construction access and staging.

Construction is planned for summer of 2018, with the goal of completing the project in one construction season. Two construction seasons may be required, however, depending on how early in the season construction begins, construction efficiency, coordination with utilities, and other factors.

An Initial Study ( IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It describes why the Project is being proposed and the potential impacts to the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed Project could have a significant effect on biological and cultural resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those impacts will be reduced to a level considered less than significant. Mitigation measures to be implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to biological preconstruction surveys, impact minimization, construction monitoring, exclusionary fencing, erosion control, on- site restoration, and off-site compensation.

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project.

In addition, a Mitigation and Monitoring Program ( MMP) has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081. 6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

The IS/ MND/MMP documents were sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30 day public review period and distribution to pertinent state agencies. They were sent to local resource agencies and the Shasta County Clerk, and posted on the Public Works Department website. A public notice was also sent to landowners in the vicinity of the project and posted in the local newspaper. One comment letter was received from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. A response to the comment letter has been prepared and is attached to the final MND.

The City of Redding is the lead agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA agency, the City Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section I8.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the City Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk' s Office and the Packet Pg. 174 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 2016 (4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk) Report to Redding City Council November 29, 2016

State Clearinghouse, completing the environmental review process. The IS/ MND is available in the City Clerk' s office for review.

Issue
Should the City Council adopt the attached resolution relative to the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project?
Alternatives; Implication ofAlternatives
The City Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:

1. Adopt the attached resolution, thereby adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program and approving the Project as described. With this action, the Council will be in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines § 15074). ( Staff Recommendation)

2. Do not adopt the resolution and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Without approval of the environmental document, the project would not proceed forward as a City project.

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution allows the project to move forward towards the construction phase.

There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND and MMP.

Conclusion
Adoption of the MND and approval of the Project are necessary for the project to proceed. The environmental phase must be completed prior to the project moving forward towards construction.

SUBJECT
Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Redding Department of Public Works proposes to rehabilitate the existing four -span, 143 - foot -long by 28 -foot -wide reinforced concrete bridge over Churn Creek on Old Alturas Road.

Rehabilitation would include widening of the bridge deck, pier walls, and abutments, and widening of the roadway on either side of the bridge. As shown in Attachment A, the project area is located in the City of Redding, and is situated in Township 32 North, Range 4 West, Section 32, of the U.S. Geological Survey' s Enterprise 7. 5 -minute quadrangle.

The contractor would need two temporary access roads across the channel for equipment and vehicles, including excavators, loaders, pick-up trucks, etc. The temporary access roads, each approximately 25 feet wide, would be constructed on each side of the bridge and would consist of gravel. The contractor may also create a temporary access pad beneath the bridge to be used as a road/ work platform. The pad and access roads would be made up of clean gravel between 1 and 4 inches in diameter, and would consist of uncrushed, rounded river rock with no sharp edges; temporary culverts would divert any stream flows through the site. All temporary work pads and stream crossings would be removed during the winter months as approved by resources agencies.

Following completion of the access roads, the existing abutments ( located within the ordinary high water mark of Churn Creek) would be extended to 67 feet. The existing 1 - foot -wide pier walls ( also located within the ordinary high water mark of Churn Creek) would be extended to 66 feet, and ten 50 -foot -long, 30 -inch -diameter cast -in drill -holed ( CIDH) piles would be installed to provide support for the pier extensions. Rock would be used to fill scour holes around pier walls ( but would not extend above grade).

Rock slope protection would be placed 21 feet upstream and downstream of the new the pier walls and be placed in a 15 -foot -wide zone around the abutments. Upon completion of work around the pier walls and abutments, the bridge deck would be widened. The new concrete bridge deck would measure 67 feet wide and would include a 14 -foot -wide center turn lane and two 12 -foot -wide lanes, each with an 8 -foot - wide shoulder and a 6. -foot -wide sidewalk with a barrier. Pile driving may be required for the placement of falsework piles and for the installation of sheet piles around the pier walls and abutments for dewatering purposes and as temporary retaining walls. Vibratory and/ or impact hammer pile drivers may be used, depending on the structure being installed and the substrate type. The western and eastern approaches to the bridge would require ± 600 and ± 1, 000 feet of road work, respectively; this would include minor widening of the roadway near the bridge to match the width of the new bridge deck.

Packet Pg. 176 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 2016 (4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk) storm drains and catch basins would be constructed to adequately drain the improved roadway along the north side of both the east and west approach roadways and along the south side of the east approach roadway. In addition, driveways within the ESL would be modified to conform with the new roadway.

Staged construction would be used to build the bridge while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction; periodic traffic control may be required during critical construction events. An existing 12 - inch -diameter water line and a 4 -inch diameter gas line would be relocated to the new edge of deck, and electric utilities would be relocated to the edge of the right-of-way. The project will require additional right- of-way to accommodate the new bridge and sewer line. Temporary construction easements would also be required for construction access and staging. Up to four construction staging areas could be utilized for the site; no disposal or borrow sites would be needed. Construction is planned for summer of 2018, with the goal of completing the project in one construction season. Two construction seasons may be required, however, depending on how early in the season construction begins, construction efficiency, coordination with utilities, and other factors.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The project is located within and surrounded by residential development with commercial businesses located within %2 mile. Old Alturas Road is an important traffic corridor between commercial areas to the west and residential developments near the project and eastward. As such, this segment of road receives high vehicle traffic on a daily basis. The project is situated approximately 550 ft above sea level, and is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. At the nearby airport, the average annual precipitation is approx. 33 inches, with most of the rainfall occurring between October and May.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study ( attached), which determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects. Subsequent revisions in the project proposal create the specific mitigation measures identified below. The revised project avoids or mitigates the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the City, that the revised project may have a significant effect on the environment. Ifthere are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

The project includes measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to biological and cultural resources. Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable. In accordance with CEQA Section 15074. 1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures which it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it, in itself, would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment. i. Based on the whole record ( including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATIONMEASURES
B- 1. In -water construction activities, and all pile -driving activities in Churn Creek, will be limited to the period between June 1 and October 31, or as may otherwise be specified through jurisdictional permits and approvals issued by the NMFS, CDFW, ALOE, and/ or RWQCB. If work is proposed outside of the agency -approved work windows, the City will obtain approval from those agencies prior to conducting such work, and implement any additional measures that may be required. In -water pile driving will only be conducted during daytime hours defined as beginning one- half hour after sunrise and ending one- half hour prior to sunset, or as defined by resource agency permits and approvals.

B- 2. Temporary work pads or crossings within the stream will be constructed using clean, washed, rounded gravel, 1- 4 inches in diameter, and will meet the Caltrans gravel cleanliness specification No. 85. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, upon completion of the project, all gravel, including any contaminated gravel, will be removed from the creek bottom, except for the last 6 inches of clean, uncontaminated gravel will be left in place to prevent erosion and protect original streambed conditions.

B- 3. All temporary use areas will be restored to preconstruction conditions providing the same or higher density of native woody riparian species, in accordance with the Riparian Restoration Plan - Old Alturas Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project at Churn Creek. Existing woody vegetation will be pruned at ground level prior to work and protected during construction to allow regrowth upon completion of the project.

B- 4. Environmental Sensitive Area ( ESA) fencing will be placed to minimize impacts and prevent unnecessary excursion into protected areas ofthe creek.

B- 5. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) will be prepared for the project which will outline Best Management Practices ( BMPs) for erosion control and spill prevention.

Implementation of BMPs will minimize the potential for adverse impacts to fish, water quality, and the aquatic ecosystem.

B- 6. Preconstruction surveys for western pond turtles will be conducted by a qualified biologist immediately prior to the start of in -water work each day that in -water work occurs. Any western pond turtles, or foothill yellow -legged frogs, eggs masses, or tadpoles that are also found, will be relocated to a safe location upstream or downstream ofthe work area.

B- 7. Preconstruction surveys for nesting migratory birds will be conducted if vegetation removal or activities affecting swallow nesting on the existing bridge occurs between March 1 Old Alturas Rd and Churn Cr Bridge Rehabilitation Project Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 3
Packet Pg. 178 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 2016 (4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk) and August 1. A qualified biologist approved by the Engineer will determine if nests are present on the bridge and if work activities are affecting nesting. Surveys will be conducted within 3 days prior to the proposed work. If nesting birds are found, the nest site shall not be disturbed until after the young have fledged. If an active raptor nest is present, no vegetation removal or construction activities will occur within 250 feet of the nest, unless a smaller buffer zone is authorized by the CDFW. Appropriate buffer zones may be established for other nesting birds by a biologist approved by the City. The City may utilize a variety of measures to prevent birds from nesting on the bridge, including the use of bioacoustic deterrents ( e. g., broadcast calls), installation of exclusionary materials ( e. g., Teflon or plastic sheeting or other materials that would not entangle birds) in the winter prior to construction, or removal of partially constructed nests following confirmation by a qualified biologist that no eggs or chicks are present completed nests must not be removed).

B- 8. All required permits and authorizations shall be obtained from state and federal resource agencies prior to any construction activities within Waters of the U.S. All terms and conditions of the required permits and authorizations shall be met.

C -l. Environmental Sensitive Areas (ESA) will be established at the project site as delineated in the ESA Action Plan, prepared for and approved by Caltrans who has lead authority over cultural resources pursuant to federal law.

C- 2. A qualified archaeologist and Native American will monitor excavation and initial ground disturbing construction activities in the portion of the APE within 100 ft of known cultural sites, or as defined in the ESA Action Plan. If intact cultural deposits are found, all work shall cease in the area, and the archaeologist shall recommend appropriate conservation measures to be implemented prior to re-initiation ofthe work.

C- 3. In the event archaeological deposits are discovered during project activities anywhere on the project site, all work in the vicinity of the discovery shall be stopped immediately and the resident engineer and archaeologist notified. The archaeologist shall recommend appropriate conservation measures to be implemented prior to re-initiation ofthe work.

C- 4. If human remains are discovered during project activities, all work will stop in the vicinity of the find and the Shasta County Coroner' s Office shall be notified. Treatment of the remains shall be conducted in accordance with the direction of the Coroner and/or the Native American Heritage Commission, as appropriate.

a, b, c. Shasta County, in, uludu,g the far northern Sacramento Valley, currently exceeds the state's ambient standards for uz,onc ( sirug) turd paliiuulatus ( tune, au bottle paMi iulcs). Consequently, these pollutants are the focus of local air quality policy, especially when related to land use and transportation planning. haven with applivatio„ of incabuncs to reduuc emissions for individual projects, cumulative impacts are unavoidable when ozone and/ or particulate emissions aro involved. For example, the primary source of emissions contributing to ozone is from vehicles. Any project that generates vehicle trips has the potential of contributing incrementally to the problem. The Environmental impact Report for the General Phu, acknowledged and addressed this issue.

Under policies of the General Plan Air Quality Element, a project has the potential to impact air quality primarily in two ways: ( 1) the project would generate vehicle -trip emissions ( with NOx, ROG, and PM,,,) that contribute cumulatively to local and regional air quality uurrditiuns; and ( 2) fugitive dust ( paUt iuulate/PM,J emissions are possible during construction activities. Application of standard air quality reductiun rrrcasures arc ruquBcd in order to strive toward the General Plan policy of a net reduction objective of 2u percent to address small- scale cumulative effects. In addition, pertinent SWPPP BMWs as discussed in Section vi and lx would be applied as necessary to address fugitive dust control.

These require, rtetits are standard development and construction regulations used by the City, promulgated in the Redding Mu„ aupal Code aid C:alitbi nia Buildu,g Code, and apply to all projects involving grading and/or earth disturbance. At a minimum, the following standard regulations would apply during grading and coistruution activities to uoutrul dust and PM,o emissions during the project. Additional BMPs detailed in the project -specific S WPPP prepared at the lane of construction would also apply.

1. No„ tu&iu soil stabilizers shall be applied auuu, dirrg to nttanufautu, cr' s specification to all inactive construction areas previously graded areas inactive for 10 days or irorc).

2. All grading operations shall be suspended when winds ( as instantaneous gusts) exceed 20 miles per hour.

3. temporary traffic control shall be provided as appropriate during all phases of construction to improve traffic flow c. g., tlag ponsorr).

a, d. Salmonids. Fall -run Chinook salmon and late -fall -run Chinook salmon are both considered Species of Special Cuncum by the National Marine 1~ ishc, ius Service and the State Department ofFish and Wildlife. Central Valley steelhead are considered to be Federally Threatened wider the 1~oderal Ei dangered Species Act. Churn Crock supports a lu iitcd number of these salmonids at different times of the year. luring winter and spring when flows are adequate and water temperatures are less than 25° C, adult Chinook salmon ( fall -run and late -fall -run) and Central valley steelhead have a high potential to migrate through the ESL to spawn iii suitable habitats upstream. Additionally, juvenile Chinook salmon tall -run and late -tall -run) and steelhead have a high puteiiiial to utllizu Chu„ Creek withui the ESL tai natal and uuunatal rearing. Although no salmonids were tound during held studies of the ESL, the proposed work has the potential to directly and indirectly affect Central valley steelhead, fall -run and late -fall -run Chinook salmon, the primary constituent elements ( PCEs) of critical habitat for Central Valley steelhead, and essential fish habitat ( EFH) for the fall -run and latetall-ruii. Thcsc cMuts uuuld uucu, as it , csult of bridge pica/ abutme, iT uuiistructiuu and concomitant streambed loss, inbtallatiui, of the temporary uunstructiun aucess roads and gravel pad, riparian vugumtiuu , uniuval, pile d, ivi„ g, and increased sedimentation in the stream system.

Direct effects on salmonids are not expected to occur given the work windows and other avoidance and minimization uicabuicb p, upuscd. T'hc iii- watc, wuik window du, ii,g the warm sunnnc, u,uuths is designed to avoid dircut cttircts on salmo„ ids that may be present at other times ofthe year. indirect ettects on salmonids could potentially occur if sedimc„ is or other pollutants enter Churn Creek and degrade rearing habitat in the hSL and/ or spawning habitat downstream. in addition, riparian scrub removal along Churn Creek could contribute to a reduction in the invertebrate food supply, elevation of water temperatures, and impairment of water quality. Potential indirect effects on salmonids due to sediments u, pollutants cutc, ing Chun, C; rcck can be avuided/,,, inlmized with implcuic„ tatiu„ ut _Bust Managcu, c„ t P, actiuus to, erosion control and spill prevention.

Potential indirect effects on salmonids due to removal of riparian vegetation are expected to be negligible because: the amount of i, ivertebiate food puie, itially uuutributcd to Churn Crock by the impacted vegetation is not substantial, the new biidgc duck would pruvidu n, ure shade to Churn Creek than the existing brid& c presently docs mud would mute than ottact any potential loss of shade; and planting native riparian vegetation in temporarily disturbed areas and in rip -rap around the bridge supports would stabilize the stream bank and minimize the introduction of sediments into Churn creek, which would i ninimizu potential innnpauts to water quality.

Construction of the temporary access roads and gravel work pad could potentially disrupt stream flow and tisk migration corridor connectivity. installation of culverts to maintain flow will ensure that upstream and downstream migration of salmonids and other aquatic life is not affected.

Thu Mucied strearnbed and corresponding water column in Chun Creek mulude the tolluwing PCEN of uridual habitat that are essential tot the conservation of Central valley steelhead: treshwater rearing sites and treshwater migration corridors. ( liven the negligible loss of these two PCEs in the ESL and the extent of these two .FChs elsewhere in Churn Creek, in -water work would have a negligible effect on critical habitat for Central valley steelhead.

Thr, effects of the piujuct un Central Vallcy sicclhund, fall -tun Chinook salmon, laic -tall -run Chinook salmon, PC:ES of critical habitat for Central Valley steelhead, and hl ti for the tall -run and late -tall -run could potentially be signiticant, however, the effects will be considered less than significant given implementation of the mitigation measures described below.

The western pond turtle is a Sia a Spekaus of Special Concern. It' s found in ponds, rivers, streams, ditches, and sloughs up to 6000 It in elevation. 1t prefers ponds ur slow , nuving streams with deep puuls. Pond turtles are known to be present in Churn Creek, and although they were not observed during field surveys of the p, oje; t area, thuic is a high potential for them to forage or disperse through the area during the spring and summer months.

The effect of the project on pond turtles is considered to be potentially significant; however, the effects will be Uu„ sidu, ud less than significant given implementation of the mitigation measures described below r'oottiill Yellow -Legged k'rog. The foothill yellow -legged frog is a State Species of Spc,.;ial Concern. It inhabits mucky, perennial streams and rivers_ During the summer months, frogs prefer stream channels that provide exposed basking sites acid cool bhady areas. Although the frogs have not been reported in Churn Creek, they have been reported in watersheds north of Redding. No frUgb wc, c 5ccu du, il,g field studies for the p, oject. The site has a low potential to provide the habitat required for the frogs.

Potential direct effects on foothill yellow -legged frogs ( including their egg masses and tadpoles) could occur if frogs are pmcsent in in -water work areas during construction. If present, the animals could be trapped or injured/ killed as a result of being u, ubhcd by construction equipment or by placement of construction -related materials. Potential indirect effects include habitat degradation if sediment - laden watc, ente, s Chun, C, cck.

Given the lack of frogs in the project area, the low potential for them to occur in the project area, and the low potential for suitable habitat, the effect of the project on the frogs is considered to be less than significant_ However, measures implun,unrd tu, the wvbwin pend turtle will help ensu, r. theme is no pate„ tial fom advemse affects on the frogs.

Migratory lairds. 1he federal Migratory turd Treaty Act requires that nesting migratory birds not be affected by human activities. No active bird nests were observed in the ESL during the field inspections, although several bird nests constructed in p, iom nesting seasons were observed in trees upstream of the bridge, just outside the ESL. Nesting mgmatu, y buds, , f p, cscut i„ futu, c „ cbi;ug scasous, could be di,eudy o, i„ di, cctly affected by vegetation me,,, oval and construction activities.

Mitigation
the following mitigation measures will be implemented to ensure project effects are less than sigrifivaut:

1. In -water construction activities, and all pile -driving activities in Chum Creek, will be limited to the period between luno 1 and October 31, or as may uthciwisu by spe6ticd through jurisdictional permits and approvals issued by the NA*' S, Cllr W, AGUE, and/or RWQCB. if work is proposed outside of the agcrruy- appruvrd work wurduws, the City will obtain approval from those agencies prior to conducting such work, and implement any additional measures that ruay be required. In -water pile driving will only be conducted during daytime hours defined as beginning one- half hour atter sunrise and Winding gine- half hour prior to sunset, or as defured by resource agency permits and approvals.

2. temporary work pads or crossings within the stream will be constructed using clean, washed, ruurrdcd gravel, 1- 4 inches in diameter, and will meet the Caltrans gravel cleanliness specification No_ 85. unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, upon completion of the project, all gravel, including any contaminated gravel, will be removed from the creek bunurn, cxucpt ter the last 6 irahus of Mean, unuuutarninatcd gravel will be left in place to prevent erosion and protect original streambed conditions.

3. All temporary use areas will be restored to preconstruction conditions providing the same or higher density of native woody riparian species, in accordance with the Riparian Restoration Plan - Old Alturas Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project at Churn Creck. Existing woody vegetation will be pruned at ground level prior to work and protected during wrrstruutrun to allow regrowth upon uumplctrurr, of the piujcut.

4. Environmental Sensitive Area ( ESA) fencing will be placed to minimize impacts and prevent unnecessary excursion into protected areas of the creek.

5. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) will be prepared for the prujcut whiuh will uutlirrc Best Management Practices ( BMPs) for erosion control and spill prevention. Implementation of BMPs will minimize the potential for adverse impacts to fish, water quality, and the aquatic ecosystem.

Fluorinated vases: These can be emitted during some industrial activities. Also, many ofthese gases are substitutes for ozone- depleting substances, such as CFCs, which have been used historically as refrigerants. Collectively, these gases are often referred to as " high global -warming potential" gases.

The primary generators of UHU emissions in the United States are electricity generation and transportation. " Ihe EPA estimates that nearly 85 percent of the nation' s uHU emissions are comprised of carbon dioxide ( CU2). The majority of CO. emissions is generated by petroleum consumption associated with transportation and coal consumption, which is in rum associated with eleutriuity guncrz[ ion. Thom remaining emissions arc predomiliately the result of natural- gas consumption associated with a variety of uses.

According to the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association's ( CAPCOA) publication, CLQA and Climate Change, published in January 2008, there is currently not a single computer model that is capable of estimating all of a piUNLXs
dui
vLa and indi,ed UHU emissions. Huwevei, the Urban Emissions Model ( URBEMIS) is likely the nest consistently used model to estimate a project's direct UHU emissions. UKBEM1S is designed to model emissions associated with development of urban land uses. u" hmiS summarizes criteria air pollutants and CU2 emissions that would occur during construction and operation of new development. URBEMIS was developed and is approved for statewide use by CARB. One of the shortfalls of URBEMIS is that the model does not contain emission factors for GHGs uthu, than CO,, cacupt to, methane ( CH,,) truni nubile suurL;es, which is uunverted to CU,. This may not be a niajur problem since CU2 is the most important U1.1U from land development projects.

With regard to the project, the predominant associated GHG is CO, generated by motor -vehicle travel to and from the site.

The California Air Resources Board ( CARB) has recommended the use of 10, 000 metric tons of carbon diamdu equivalent pvr year ( rrrtCU,.cq/yi) as the " de mirillnus gas emission threshold" in its Climate Change proposed Scoping Plaii, whish was approved by CARB' s Board on January 9, 2009. According to CAPCUA, the IU, 000 mtCU2eq/ yr is equivalent to 55U dwelling units, 400,000 square feet of office use, 120, 000 square feet ofretail, or 70,000 square feet of supermarket use.

The proposed project emissions due tu cunsiructiou arc substantially wi& i the equivaWiri luvcls iequn' W tui wrrstruimmi of thcsc piujccts. Uivcn the scope and nature of the proposed project, emissions from the project are significantly below the thresholds put forth by CAKB, as well as the City of Kedding' s air- quality thresholds. therefore, the project will not contribute significantly to UHU emissions in the air basin_ However, to reduce any potential contribution to negative effects from GHG emissions, as discussed in Section III above, City construction standards and measures will be implemented during the pruject. Many of these rnmasures arc also listed irr the State Attuiney Ciencial' s rewrrnriended measures to reduce UHU emissions.
n. The project does not conflict with any applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As noted in " a" above, and in Suctiuir in, tM piujc t is irr uvntuirnanuc with the City of RWding' s au quality policies and thresholds, and with state guidelines and regulations.

a, r_ the project will not cause a violation of any waste -discharge requirements or water quality standards, or substantially degrade water quality. Permits will be obtained from the Regional Wate, Quality Control Buard, Dvpartmv„ t of Fish and Wildlife, and the U. S. Army Cups of E„ gi„ ee, s whiuh will allow construction activities in wuTlands, streams, and drainages that exist on the project site.

The plan will ensure that wit ei quality standards arc nut substantially affected by the prujuut. It is the City' s standard practice to incorporate resource agency permit conditions and required construutiun standards in the project plans and specifications. b. The project would utilize City water service for domestic uses and fire protection. The proposed project would not impact groundwater supplies.

C. The project will not substantially alter the eAisting drainage pattern of the area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The bridge will be rehabilitated and widened in place.
d, c. The piujcct will nut substmnially alta the uAistuig diauiagu parkin ut the arca, UnJudnlg through the alleiatiuu of the course of a stream or river. 1t will not increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site. 1t will not create run- off which wold exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted water. g, h, 1_ The piujua situ is luuated within the mapped 100 year fluudplaui of Chum Cicck. Hydiaulic studies completed for the project determined that there will be no increase in flood risk as a result of the project. The project will not place or expose new structures in a flood -hazard area or floodplain, nor will it expose people to flood risks.

J. The threat of a tsunami wave is not applivablc to uiland, ue„ tral valley wnununities such as Redding. Seiches could potentially be gunciatcd ii, either Shasta or Whiskuytuwu LiNes during an u ralquKe. Huwcvri, neithci lKe has been identified in the Health and Saffety Element of the General - Flan as having any risk to the City under such circumstances.

There is no documented threat of mud flows affecting the project site.

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM

OLD ALTURAS ROAD AND CHURN CREEK

BRIDGE REHABILITATION PROJECT

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring Program ( MMP) for the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project. The MMP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for, and the purpose of, the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself.

LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081. 6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report (EIR) or a mitigated negative declaration ( MND). This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project. It is intended to be used by City of Redding ( City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation ofthe project.

Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:

Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action.

Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude ofthe action and its implementation.

Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the impacted environment.

Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project.

Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, on-site identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City staff.

be conducted within 3 days prior to the proposed
work. If nesting birds are found, the nest site shall
not be disturbed until after the young have fledged.

If an active raptor nest is present, no vegetation
removal or construction activities will occur within
250 feet of the nest, unless a smaller buffer zone is
authorized by the CDFW. Appropriate buffer zones
may be established for other nesting birds by a
biologist approved by the City. The City may
utilize a variety of measures to prevent birds from
nesting on the bridge, including the use of
bioacoustic deterrents ( e. g., broadcast calls),
installation of exclusionary materials ( e. g., Teflon
or plastic sheeting or other materials that would not
entangle birds) in the winter prior to construction,
or removal ofpartially constructed nests following
confirmation by a qualified biologist that no eggs or
chicks are present ( completed nests must not be
removed).

Hi Darrell... thanks for responding with your questions. I addressed each of them in red below.

Please don' t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions or need clarifications on anything. We will try to answer all your questions as best we can. Once we are done with the env process in the next couple of months, then the ROW process will begin. Someone will contact you during that time to discuss the specific ROW/ easement needs of the project.

Subject: Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Project Thanks Jon for the link to the Mitigated Negative Declaration report. After reviewing it I have several questions.

How will the following effect our property?

catch basins along the south side of the roadway. In addition driveways will be modified. Given that the bridge will be widened from 28 ft wide to 67 feet wide, the roadway also has to be widened. It will take approx. 1000 feet to narrow the roadway down from the new width to the existing road width at the east end of the project. New sidewalks will be placed which will extend from the bridge to just short of your driveway. The drainage ditch along the side of the road will have to be regraded to drain the roadway. It will run right along your property line to the creek. Assuming that the new road width affects your driveway, either horizontally or vertically, we will reconstruct or repave your driveway up to the ROW line.

Page2 -- The project will require additional right- of- way to accommodate the new bridge and sewer line.

Temporary construction easements would also be required for construction access and staging. We do not expect to need any permanent right- of- way from you at this point in the design. We may need temporary construction easement from you in order to access the creek, but it would likely be near or within the sewer easement we have along the western edge of your property. The fence along the street does not appear to be on the ROW line so it is affected by the project, it will be removed and replaced on the ROW line.

Figure 2-- Area of Potential Effects-- The area circled within the red line includes a large portion of our property. The APE line is just a study line for purposes of the cultural surveys that were conducted. It doesn' t mean your property within the lines will be affected.

Thanks Jon, Regards

Subject: Old Alturas Road at Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration, City of Redding State Clearinghouse Number 2016102048
Dear Mr. Oldham:

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife ( CDFW) has reviewed the Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the above -referenced project ( Project), City of Redding ( City), pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines.'
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife. Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.

CDFW ROLE
CDFW is California' s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources, and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State ( Fish & G. Code, §§ 711. 7, subd. ( a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines § 15386, subd. ( a)). CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species Id., § 1802). Similarly for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources.

CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA ( Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. As proposed, the Project will be subject to CDFW' s lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority ( Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.).

CEQA is codified in the California Public Resources Code in section 21000 et seq. The CEQA Guidelines are found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, commencing with section 15000.

Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in " take" as defined by State law of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), related authorization as provided by the Fish and Game Code will be required.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City's Department of Public Works is proposing to rehabilitate and widen the existing four - span 143 -foot -long by 28 -foot -wide reinforced concrete bridge over Churn Creek on Old Alturas Road. The purpose of the Project is to widen the bridge deck, pier walls, and abutments, and widen the roadway on both approaches to the bridge. To begin the rehabilitation, temporary access roads through the riparian area and across the channel, as well as a temporary work pad in the channel, will be necessary for equipment and vehicle access. To widen Old Alturas Road, the existing abutments will be extended to 67 feet and the existing 1 - foot wide pier walls will be extended to 66 feet and ten 50400t -long 30 -inch diameter cast -in drill -holed piles will be installed to provide support for the pier extensions. Rock will be added to the channel to fill scour holes around the pier walls, and rock slope protection will be placed around the abutments and up and downstream of the new pier walls. Pile driving in the channel may be required for the placement of the falsework piles and for the installation of sheet piles around the pier walls and abutments for dewatering purposes and as temporary retaining walls. Work outside of Churn Creek includes grading and widening roadwork up to 1000 feet approaching the crossing on either side of the stream to match the new bridge deck and adding new storm drains and catchment basins to adequately drain the improved roadway. Traffic will be maintained across the existing bridge during construction, but temporary construction easements will be required for construction access and staging.

PROJECT COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mitigation Measures B- 1 and B- 2
Central Valley steelhead ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Central Valley fall -run and late fall -run Chinook Salmon ( O. tshawytscha) may be present during times of adequate flow and cool water temperature, but thermal barriers and low flow would preclude juveniles from being present during the typical instream work period of July 1- October 15. To adequately protect all salmonids, CDFW suggests modifying Mitigation Measure B- 1 to state:

The work window for any instream or percussive work will be limited to July 1 - October 15, or periods when the stream channel is not flowing disconnected pools), or when the average maximum water temperature is in excess of 25°C to avoid impacts to salmonids. if the average maximum water temperature has not exceeded 25° C by the requested instream work window, the City shall obtain approval from both National Marine Fisheries Service and CDFW. "
Temporary construction -related instream activities such as access roads, gravel work pads, and diversion pipe in the stream channel may affect habitat for fish and aquatic wildlife unless imported material is clean, washed spawning gravel and the affected reach is restored to pre -Project gradient and contours at the completion of the Project and prior to the return of high Packet Pg. 218 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 2016 (4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk) Jonathan Oldham

flows. Remaining gravel from work pads may be used to fill existing scour holes, as long as the overall stream gradient has not changed.

Mitiaation Measure B- 3
Mitigation Measure B- 3 mentions the Riparian Restoration Plan—Old Alturas Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project at Churn Creek to mitigate for temporary impacts due to the access roads and staging; however, there is no mention of permanent riparian impacts from widening the roadway and bridge by 39 feet. Elsewhere in the MND, there is discussion of permanently impacting 0. 07 acres of riparian scrub vegetation within the environmental study limits and 0. 03 acres of riparian scrub habitat temporarily impacted by the access road and work pads. The MND as well as the Riparian Restoration Plan need to include discussion of the habitat being permanently removed by the Project, as well as temporary impacts, including type and number of mature trees being removed. Additionally, the measure states, " areas will be restored to preconstruction conditions providing the same or higher density of native woody riparian species", but there is no discussion of what these species are or what the preconstruction condition is. To fully mitigate to less than significant levels and ensure no net loss in wetlands and riparian habitat due to temporary and permanent impacts, CDFW recommends a replacement ratio of 3: 1 for all permanent impacts, and the City may choose to mitigate temporary impacts at a lesser ratio, but not less than 1: 1.

The MND does not identify whether or not the onsite replanting will be monitored and maintained and does not provide success criteria for the riparian mitigation. CDFW recommends that any mitigation plantings be monitored and maintained for a period of five years following initial planting. Plants should be properly irrigated, protected from herbivores and vandalism, and kept free of invasive species during that time period. At the end of five years, plants should achieve 80 percent survival as the success criteria.

Finally, so CDFW can adequately analyze the utility of this mitigation measure, it would be useful to include the Riparian Restoration Plan as part of the document as an appendix during public review.

Mitiaation Measure B- 6
The measure states that to avoid impacts to foothill yellow -legged frogs ( Rana boylii) and western pond turtles (Actinemys marmorata), adults, tadpoles, and egg masses would be relocated if found during pre -construction surveys at the start of in -water work each day. CDFW does not recommend the relocation of amphibian egg masses, however, it is very unlikely that there will still be egg masses present if in -channel work does not occur prior to July 1.

Preconstruction surveys shall still be conducted as long as water is present, however if surveys do detect amphibian egg masses, instream work shall be delayed until the egg masses have developed into tadpoles and the tadpoles can safely be relocated to similar habitat nearby.

Mitigation Measure B- 7
CDFW recommends the removal of vegetation or other activities affecting bird nesting habitat occur outside the nesting season, generally February 1 through August 31, and not March 1 through August 1 as stated in the MND. If any special status bird species are found during preconstruction surveys during the nesting season, avoidance or mitigation measures for Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 2016 (4.11(b)--Approve the Fifth Amendment to Contract (C-5900) Old Alturas Rd over Churn Crk) Jonathan Oldham
