At Council Member Audette’s suggestion, a consensus of the Council directed staff to return to Council at the earliest possible meeting date following the Redding Rancheria’s payment for its Health Village Project received into the General Fund with a report and options for consideration regarding where Council can direct staff to allocate the funds.

At Mayor Pro Tempore Resner’s suggestion, a consensus of the Council directed staff to return to Council with the current City of Redding nepotism policy for review and to include options related to Council’s ability to appoint family members to participate on various Agency Boards and Commissions.

ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business at the hour of 8:48 p.m., Mayor Munns declared the meeting adjourned.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept update regarding the proclamation declaring a local emergency due to flooding and, pursuant to Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050(c)(1), make a determination by a four-fifths vote that there is a need to continue the emergency.

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) has been notified of potential emergency aid funding, however, exact dollar amounts are yet to be determined from the state or federal authorities. Below is a table of identified emergency repair projects with estimated costs and current funding sources.

Location/Project Contractor/FA1 Estimated Costs Funding Source2 South Bonnyview Storm Drain J.F Shea $3,750,000 Wastewater Utility3 Parkview Sewer Siphon M5 $1,000,000 Wastewater Utility
Sacramento River Trail FA $2,000 Parks
Caldwell Park FA $10,500 Parks
Clover Creek Preserve FA $3,000 Parks
Angler’s Trail FA $2,000 Parks
Turtle Bay East FA $5,500 Parks
Nur Pon Trails FA $40,000 Parks
Notes:

1. FA – Force Account (Community Services’ crews).

2. If any state/federal funding is received for the respective project the reimbursed amount would be due and payable to the various funding sources. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) funding is 75% state and 25% local match.

3. As City Council (Council) approved, the Wastewater Utility provided a loan to the Storm Drain utility for the South Bonnyview Storm Drain Project. The loan will be paid annually, every June 30th and is amortized over a 20-year term at the average pooled cash rate calculated at the time of payment.

Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding Page 2 Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to confirm that conditions of a local emergency continue to exist.

Under Public Contract Code section 22050(c)(1) the local emergency can only be terminated by a four-fifths vote of the Council. To that end, the Council’s prior determination of a local emergency will remain unless an affirmative vote of the Council is made to terminate the local emergency.

Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event occurred in the City, ultimately causing conditions beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure.

Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and on February 18, 2025, the Council ratified this proclamation and will continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.

The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030.

The South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road remains closed due to the failed culvert. Staff has constructed a temporary access road for the boat launch and it is open for public use.

Approximately 200 feet of the overall 700-foot-long, 10-foot diameter culvert had failed and other pipe sections had been compromised. J.F. Shea has completed the installation of new pipe and all the backfill requirements including the placement of the Cell-Crete flowable grout that will fill the annular space around the new fiberglass reinforced pipe and the existing corrugated metal pipe. J.F. Shea has also completed the concrete headwall structure and has placed all of the rip-rap stabilization rock around the inlets for the storm drain. Currently, J.F. Shea is working toward reestablishing the existing surface conditions around each excavation location.

Landscapers continue to make repairs to the existing irrigation and existing lawn area along the north end of the project and are preparing for hydroseeding along the south side of the project.

The South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road has been re-paved and the project should be completed and the access road should be open by the end of October 2025, pending any unforeseen issues and inclement weather.

The Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project located within the Linden Creek Channel was also affected by the rain events and flood waters resulting in a landslide that exposed the existing sewer siphon just west of Parkview Avenue. Due to environmental compliance requirements, the start of the project was delayed. However, M5 Excavation (M5) continues to make great progress on reestablishing the embankment for the slope protection scope of this project. As of September 25, 2025, M5 has completed all of the instream work and anticipates completing the slope protection by the end of October 2025, and moving their operations to hydroseeding for permanent erosion control for all of the disturbed slopes. The estimated project completion should be around the first week of November 2025, pending any unforeseen issues.

On August 18, 2025, Nur Pon Open Space was partially reopened - one bridge remains closed.

The flood waters damaged the bridges, kayak boat launch area, and trails. Parks Division staff Packet Pg. 67
Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding Page 3 began ordering and importing materials while working to repair the open space. Staff has completed repairs on the main trail and walking bridges, the bathrooms, and the parking lot facility. High river flows had affected staff’s ability to repair a culvert, and flood erosion has made the trail impassable. However, the flows have since subsided and repairs are underway.

Until completed, the trail will remain closed in that section, and the full loop will not be open.

Staff will perform additional repairs in other affected parks and open space areas and expects completion of all repair activities by the end of October 2025.

Cal OES has requested estimates for damages to both private and public sites. Staff has met with Cal OES and has sent them information on the damage and associated costs. The current damage is estimated to be $7.15 million.

On July 29, 2025, in accordance with the California Emergency Services Act, the Governor declared a State of Emergency to exist in Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms. To help the impacted communities recover from the event, California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding has been authorized for Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). The reimbursement process and exact dollar amounts will be forthcoming from Cal OES.

On August 19, 2025, City staff attended a meeting with Cal OES to discuss the next steps in receiving funding. On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, staff submitted all necessary documents to Cal OES in order to receive funding. Staff is now waiting to hear back from Cal OES.

Environmental Review
This activity, Confirmation of a Continued Local Emergency, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On June 3, 2025, Council determined that the South Bonnyview Storm Drain Project and the Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project are exempt from review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects. On June 17, 2025, Council determined that maintenance activities performed by the Parks Division are exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. No further action is required.

Subject: Shasta County – 2025 February Storms– Request for a Governor’s State of Emergency and California Disaster Assistance Act Funding Dear Chairperson Crye:

This letter is in response to Shasta County’s request for a Governor’s State of Emergency and financial assistance from the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) as a result of the 2025 February Storms.

In accordance with the California Emergency Services Act, the Governor declared a State of Emergency to exist in Shasta County on July 29, 2025, for the 2025 February Storms. To help the impacted communities recover from the event, CDAA funding is authorized for Shasta County for the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). My staff will contact your authorized agent on record under separate cover to provide the forms necessary to apply for reimbursement utilizing the CDAA Program.

Please know Cal OES will continue to work closely with your team during the recovery efforts. Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected], if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this matter further.

Sincerely,

ELI OWEN

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution by a four-fifths vote to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency and authorizing the City Manager to repair or replace public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without solicitation of competitive bids in accordance with Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050.

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution could have a positive fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount as it will facilitate the recovery of the community and the receipt of emergency aid from state, and possibly federal, authorities if it becomes available.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution or provide alternate direction. Failure to adopt the resolution will result in a legal finding that the local emergency has ceased and will likely negatively impact the receipt of aid from state and/or federal authorities, and the City of Redding’s (City) ability to immediately repair or replace damaged infrastructure.

Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions to be beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms have brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn have caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. At this time, continued high-water flows are expected with not all areas having MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025

been fully assessed. The current forecast calls for continued storms and additional snow and rainfall which could further exacerbate the damage and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.

As the rain continues, the Bureau of Reclamation will be required to continue its high releases from Shasta Dam. There is potential for additional local flooding and infrastructure damage.

Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and it is recommended that the Council ratify this proclamation and continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.

The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030. The Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services is attached.

Pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Proclamation is valid for seven days. As such, if the Council does not act to adopt a resolution which confirms and ratifies the existence of a local emergency, the declaration of local emergency made under the Proclamation will lapse. A declaration of local emergency provides several benefits in time of emergency. Under Government Code section 8634, it permits a local agency to immediately promulgate orders and regulations necessary to protect the public health and safety. It further permits the State and local agencies to provide mutual aid to the City and makes the costs of such aid incurred by other agencies chargeable to the State. Lastly, the declaration of local emergency facilitates payment to the City by the State under the Disaster Assistance Act (Gov. Code section 8680 et seq.).

The resolution contains all the needed findings to continue the declaration of local emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code section 8550 et seq.). In the absence of action under Public Contract Code, the Council could declare an emergency under the California Emergency Service Act by a simple majority vote.

However, the resolution also seeks authorization under RMC 4.22.120 and Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050. As such, a fourth-fifths vote of the Council will be required to adopt the resolution. These sections provide authority which the Government Code, addressed above, does not. Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 collectively provide authority to repair or replace a public facility, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those purposes without competitive bidding. While notice and competitive bidding are very beneficial in non-emergency situations, these processes are entirely too untimely if we are to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities. This is necessary due to the immediate need to repair or replace the 120-inch culvert that failed at the entrance to the Reginato Boat Ramp. This ramp serves as a critical entry point for river access for public safety agencies to effectuate river rescues and to access areas along the river that are otherwise inaccessible. Additionally, river guides and other river related businesses utilize this ramp extensively and prolonged closure will cause significant economic hardship as well as impeding life saving efforts by the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff.

It should be noted that RMC 4.22.120 delegates authority to the City Manager to make a finding that the emergency will not permit the delay resulting from a competitive solicitation of bids and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. However, that authority is only valid for a period of seven days. By making this finding now by means of adoption of the resolution, the Council avoids the unfortunate circumstance whereby the immediate action sought by the City Manager to repair or replace public infrastructure will lapse absent an Packet Pg. 255 Packet Pg. 73 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 021825 Declaring local emergency (4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding) Report to Redding City Council February 12, 2025

immediate, emergency Council meeting. In order to ensure Council oversight, RMC

4.22.120(C)(1) requires review of action under Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 at every regular meeting until such time as the emergency ceases.

In summary, the resolution serves two important functions. It facilitates coordination with other public agencies assisting the City in responding to the local emergency and is a necessary precondition to receipt of state and federal aid. It also provides authority to the City to use its own resources in accomplishing repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring Council oversight of all such activity.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Approve the First Amendment to the Real Property Lease Agreement (C-10985) with County of Shasta, located at 7251 Eastside Road (Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 050-050-010 and 050-070-008), to allow for assignment and subletting (grazing and Project improvements);
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute any documents related to this lease/sale of City of Redding-owned real property to the County of Shasta; and (3) Find that the action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15312 - Surplus Government Property Sales.

Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund with this action.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to approve the First Amendment. If not approved, the County of Shasta (County) will not be able to lease the property for grazing purposes or other potential improvements to expanding the alternative custody program.

Background/Analysis
Prior to entering into the lease with the County, since as early as 2006, the City of Redding (City) leased the property at 7251 Eastside Road (property) for grazing purposes. This helped control vegetation on the property and reduce fire risk on the property. The presence of grazing activities on the property also brought a human presence to the property to discourage trespassing.

Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.1(b)--First Amendment to the Real Property Lease with County of Shasta Page 2 When the City entered into the lease with the County, the City needed to cancel the existing grazing lease. Following the cancelation of the existing grazing lease, the City and County began discussing the need to have active grazing on the property to deter trespassers and for vegetation control. The existing Real Property Lease Agreement (C-10985), does not allow for subletting.

The City and County worked together on the attached First Amendment to allow the County to sublease the property without needing prior City approval. This includes subleasing for cattle grazing and for uses that support the expansion of the alternative custody program and construction of a new jail. The First Amendment gives the County more flexibility to manage the property while keeping it in productive use.

All other terms and conditions of the Real Property Lease Agreement (C-10985) and Real Property Purchase Agreement remain the same. The First Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the activity and has determined that it is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15312 - Surplus Government Property Sales. Class 12 projects consist of the sale of surplus properties, except for the sale of land in areas of statewide, regional, or areawide concern. This City-owned property is not located in an area of concern, and the sale has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Re: 9.1(d)--Consider Lease Agreement with County of Shasta for real property Page 2 Background/Analysis
The County and the City have negotiated the attached agreements to transfer the subject property, approximately 90 acres, for the purpose of expanding the Sheriff’s Alternative Custody Program and potentially construction of a new Jail. The key terms of the agreements are:
• Initial lease term will be up to 30 years at the County’s discretion; • No cost for the lease;
• County will be responsible for utilities and all maintenance on the property; • County will serve as the Lead Agency in fulfilling responsibilities under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
• County will have an option to take title of the property upon completion and approval of a campus wide environmental document, construction of facilities for the alternative custody program and operation of the same for 12 months; and • Should the County take title to the property, the City will have the right of first refusal to purchase the property for 20 years from the close of escrow should the County choose to sell.

The lease agreement is contingent upon the approval of California Department of Housing and Community Development finding that the transfer is exempt surplus property.

As authorized by the Section 18.10.050.A.3 of the Redding Municipal Code, the Development Services Director has determined the acquisition of this property by the County is consistent with the goals and policies of the Redding General Plan. A memo from the Development Services Director reflecting this determination is attached.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the activity and has determined that it is categorically exempt from environmental review under the CEQA Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15312 - Surplus Government Property Sales. Class 12 projects consist of the sale of surplus properties, except for the sale of land in areas of statewide, regional, or areawide concern.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to issue a temporary waiver for the October 2025 minimum monthly guarantee payment required of car rental operators located at the Redding Regional Airport due to the ongoing impacts of construction at the Redding Regional Airport.

Fiscal Impact
Due to the construction occurring at the Redding Regional Airport (RDD), on-site car rental operators have requested temporary relief from their minimum monthly guarantee (MMG) requirement for the month of October 2025.

Pursuant to the rental car agreements with the noted rental car operators, payments are the greater of the MMG or 10 percent of gross receipts. In a month where gross receipts are less than the MMG, the airport would receive $14,796.89 collectively across all three agreements.

Rental Car Concession MMGs
AVIS $7,170.00
Budget $6,426.89
Hertz $1,200.00
During October 2025, the Airports Division anticipates that some local car rental sales have and will occur during the runway rehabilitation project and parking lot project but it is unclear whether those sales will exceed the MMG. At most, by waiving the MMG, the Airport would forego no more than $14,796.89 in concession payments (based on the MMG). Pursuant to the rental car agreements, the car rental operators will pay 10 percent gross receipts for transactions during the waiver period which will offset the potential lost revenue to the airport that would have been received from the MMG.

Steve Bade, Interim City
Manager
Packet Pg. 110
Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.2(a)--Authorize Temporary Waiver to Car Rental Operator Payments Page 2 Alternative Action
City Council may choose to decline this action and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
Ongoing construction at the Redding Regional Airport includes both the Runway 16/34 Rehabilitation Project and the Passenger Terminal Parking Lot Improvements Project, which each carry significant impacts on the business operations of the rental car operators who have reduced customers due to the airport closure and must also reposition their inventory due to the parking lot improvements. By temporarily waiving the MMG and retaining the concession on gross receipts, the rental car operators may realize a reduced burden while still paying a concession that correlates to the level of activity. Each of the contracts impacted provides for the City to make forbearances or indulgences without constituting a waiver of the covenant or condition in question.

In addition to AVIS, Budget and Hertz - Enterprise and TURO also operate at the Redding Regional Airport. However, as remote/off-site operators their contracts do not include MMG and thus their own costs are greatly reduced, therefore, they are not being offered the same relief as the on-site operators.

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

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Approve First Amendment to Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-10252) with Graviton Consulting Inc., extending support through June 30, 2027, with an associated increase for a total contract amount of $552,600, with $274,800 in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and $277,800 in Fiscal Year 2026-27; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the amendment.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of extending the not-to-exceed contract in the amount of $552,600 is for the most part budgeted in the 2025-27 Biennial Budget in the amount of $500,000 which leaves a balance of $52,600. As proposed, the balance will be funded by Information Technology Department’s (IT) reserves and, if needed, staff will return to City Council (Council) with a budget resolution.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to approve the amendment and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
The Oracle implementation and transition from the City of Redding’s (City) financial and personal legacy system has encountered unanticipated complexities which are beyond the technical expertise of City staff. The additional required hours to manage the product, create reports, and troubleshoot are more than current City staffing levels permit. In order to continue supporting and developing the City’s Oracle environment, staff believes it is best to rely on the expertise found through continuing to work with Graviton Consulting, Inc. (Graviton).

Report to Redding City Council October 21, 2025
Re: 4.3(b)--First Amendment to Professional Services and Consulting Contract (C-10252) with Graviton Con Page 2
Graviton was instrumental in the implementation of Oracle and addresses concerns appropriately, timely, and professionally. While the implementation of Oracle has been completed, additional resources from Graviton were needed; as such, in February of 2024, the City entered into a Managed Services Contract with Graviton. These additional resources have proven to be invaluable and as they are already fully onboarded into the City’s Oracle environment, extending their support will allow for more detailed reporting, more streamlined process, and additional troubleshooting of the system.

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

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-Year Financial Plans for all Funds.”
• Communication & Transparency – “Improve the quality and quantity of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”

Report to Redding City Council October 13, 2025
Re: 4.11(a)--Award RFP No. 5622 CM Services for REU Power Plant Maintenance Office Building Page 2
Background/Analysis
On September 16, 2025, Council awarded the project that includes construction of a new office building for the REU power plant maintenance operations. The building is single story and approximately 5,075 square feet. In addition, site improvements will be constructed, including but not limited to utility demolition and installation, site grading and paving, and carports with and without solar facilities, all as shown and described on the plans and in the specifications.

Consultant Selection Process
In July 2025, a formal Request for Proposal (Schedule No. 5622), outlining the specific scope of work, was advertised. Proposals were required to include a scope of work and proposed fee.

Proposals and fee schedules were received on August 21, 2025, from three firms. A review and selection panel were formed with members from the Public Works Department and REU. Based upon proposal review and experience, the panel ranked the firms as follows:

FIRM RANK
PACE Engineering
DEVCOM
EPICUS
1 2
3 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, project approach, familiarity with state and City procedures, and geographic location of the team. Applying the criteria to the proposals, the selection panel determined that PACE Engineering was the best qualified firm to provide the required services for this project.

Following the evaluation and ranking, PACE Engineering’s proposed fees were opened, evaluated, and negotiated to include reasonable costs based on the scope of services as well as previous similar projects cost comparisons.

The consultant fee is in an amount not to exceed $380,280 and the contract will be for actual work performed. However, staff recommends the approval of an additional $50,000 in contingency reserve. Contingency funds may be necessary due to unforeseen project issues. If this reserve needs to be utilized, a contract amendment would be negotiated with the consultant and the contract would be modified with approval of the City Manager. A professional services agreement with PACE Engineering has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s office and is attached.

Total Project Costs $ 4,537,000
Project Budget $ 5,140,000
* Will be procured separately, in accordance with City of Redding procurement and solicitation procedures, outside of the recommended construction contract.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the project or provide alternate direction to staff. If the project does not move forward, REU power plant staff will continue to maintain mobile office trailers, which have nearly reached the end of their useful life and will require ongoing maintenance.

Background/Analysis
This project includes the construction of a new office building for the REU power plant maintenance operations. The building is a single-story structure, approximately 5,075 square feet in size. In addition, site improvements will be constructed, including but not limited to utility demolition and installation, site grading and paving, and carports with and without solar facilities.

Attached is a tabulation of the bids opened on August 28, 2025. The low bid in the amount of $3,152,000 was received from Gifford Construction Inc. of Redding. The engineer’s estimate for the project was $3,159,000. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $345,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, environmental, and consultant services.

On August 29, 2025, the City of Redding (City) received a formal bid protest from Michael A.

Roberts Construction, the apparent second-low bidder for the project. The protest states that the apparent low bidder should be deemed non-responsive because they failed to include one page of the proposal packet with their bid, and that this missing page would have provided them with an advantage over other bidders. The missing page was labeled as P6, "In-Use Off-Road DieselFueled Vehicle List." The California Code of Regulations requires contractors to obtain and retain a Certificate of Reported Compliance for their fleet. Per the Instruction to Bidders contained in the project’s Special Provisions, bidders must submit these Certificates of Reported Compliance to the City no later than 4:00 PM on the fifth calendar day after the bid opening, or their bid may be deemed non-responsive and rejected. Gifford Construction understood this to mean that not only did they have five calendar days to submit the certificates, but also to submit page P6 of the proposal packet. Gifford Construction submitted the certificates within the fivecalendar day window.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award BS No. 5621 REU Power Plant Maintenance Office Building Page 3 Staff provided the bid protest, proposal packet, and the Instructions to Bidders from the project Special Provisions to the City Attorney’s office for review and evaluation to determine the next steps. After reviewing all of the documentation, the City Attorney’s office determined that the missing page can be waived as inconsequential and as a non-material irregularity. Therefore, staff believes that proceeding with awarding the project to the apparent low bidder, Gifford Construction Inc., is in the best interest of the City.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities and Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Existing Structures. Class 1 exemptions include the minor alteration of existing public and private facilities, equipment, and topographical features. Class 3 exemptions consist of construction, conversion, and location of new small facilities, structures, and equipment. The new office building will be constructed within the existing Power Plant facility to support maintenance operations. The facility modification will result in a negligible expansion of use, while providing a modern facility to support reliable service. The action area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to sole-source procurement of equipment for the City of Redding’s Public Works Department:
(1) Make a sole-source finding and approve the purchase of the Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers as the standard equipment for automation and control, which interfaces with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems throughout the Public Works Department, to include associated licensing software and support service; and
(2) Make a sole-source finding and approve the purchase of the OnLogic Human Machine Interface touchscreen panels as the standard equipment for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems throughout the Public Works Department, to include associated licensing software and support service.

Fiscal Impact
There are adequate funds in the Public Works Utilities budgets for the purchase of this equipment on an as needed basis for maintenance and replacement. There is no impact to the General Fund with this action.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the standards for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network equipment and instead continue to operate existing equipment. This alternative may result in end-of-life and unsupported equipment that is not compatible with the City of Redding’s (City) water or wastewater systems network designs, nor meet the City’s Information Technology (IT) Department’s standard requirements to properly function with existing equipment. The Council may also provide alternative direction to staff.

Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.11(b)--Make a finding to sole source vendors for upcoming purchases Page 2 Background/Analysis
The Public Works Department currently operates a wide variety of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen panels across its Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Divisions. These devices have been procured over several decades from multiple manufacturers, resulting in a patchwork of platforms and technologies.

While functional, this inconsistency has led to several challenges:
• Obsolescence and Support Issues: Many of the existing PLCs and HMI panels are at or near end-of-life. Replacement parts are increasingly difficult to source, and some platforms are no longer supported by the original manufacturers. This creates risks of extended downtime during equipment failures;
• Inconsistent Programming and Interfaces: The diversity of PLC brands and HMI panels has produced varied programming conventions, graphics standards, and user interfaces. This complicates troubleshooting, increases the training burden on staff, and often requires outside contractors for maintenance; • Integration Limitations: Interfacing between different PLC and HMI platforms requires workarounds or custom solutions that are costly to maintain. Communication protocols may differ, reducing interoperability with SCADA and other control systems;
• Staff Efficiency and Training: Maintaining competency across multiple PLC and HMI platforms requires additional training and creates inefficiencies. A single standard allows staff to specialize, troubleshoot more effectively, and respond more quickly during system upsets or failures; and
• Future Upgrades and Scalability: Standardization provides a clear path forward for system expansion, SCADA upgrades, and cybersecurity improvements.

To address these issues, the Public Works Department proposes to establish Allen Bradley PLCs and OnLogic HMI panels as the standard automation platforms for all Public Works systems. Allen Bradley and OnLogic have been selected because of their proven reliability in municipal water and wastewater applications, strong manufacturer support, and scalability from small remote sites to large treatment plants. Together, they will deliver a consistent and modern communication and control system architecture.

Standardization on Allen Bradley PLCs and OnLogic HMI panels will:
• Simplify spare parts inventory and reduce costs;
• Ensure consistency in programming, graphics, and user experience across all sites (water, wastewater, and solid waste);
• Improve reliability and minimize downtime by leveraging supported, widely available platforms;
• Enhance cybersecurity and integration with SCADA and other modern technologies; and
• Allow staff to maintain and expand systems more effectively in-house.

This investment will create long-term operational efficiencies, reduce risk, and is expected to provide a sustainable automation platform for the next 15 to 20 years.

Packet Pg. 279
Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.11(b)--Make a finding to sole source vendors for upcoming purchases Page 3 Staff estimates each purchase of an Allen Bradley PLC unit would be approximately $5,000 and that the OnLogic HMI per unit cost to be approximately $3,000. Costs for the proposed equipment are similar to and or less than the current PLCs and HMIs in use at the various facilities.

In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 3400.C.2., the Council may make a finding for a material, product, or service by specific brand or trade name in order to match other products in use within the City’s water system. Such a finding would allow the benefits described above to be realized.

Environmental Review
This action, purchasing, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The equipment will be installed by City staff. On June 17, 2025, the Council determined that maintenance activities performed by City staff are categorically exempt from review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

1All amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000.
2Additional City Manager Authority, $50,000, was transferred to Construction Contingency on September 25, 2025.

Alternative Action
Council may choose not to approve the request and provide alternative direction to staff.

Without additional funding, the project scope will have to be reduced, leading to a greater potential for increased maintenance costs for the unfinished portions of the distribution system, decreased reliability of the distribution system, and increased risk of water main breaks creating significant issues for the City of Redding (City) and its customers.

Background/Analysis
The City's water system includes approximately 2.98 million feet (565 miles) of conveyance and distribution pipeline consisting of various materials and sizes ranging from 1-inch to 48- inch diameter. Assessments of the City’s water distribution system indicate the older steel, asbestos and cast-iron pipelines have had the highest rates of failure in recent years as they have reached the end of their service life.

In an effort to reduce pipeline failures, associated maintenance costs, and improve reliability to its customers, the Water Utility has focused on replacing the older piping in areas where the breaks have occurred. This project will replace over 11,000 feet of the aging water mains, 85 water service connections, 18 fire hydrants and acquire any necessary easements. The new pipeline material is a polyvinyl chloride and ductile iron piping which is expected to reduce future maintenance and provide reliable service for the foreseeable future.

On November 5, 2024, the Council awarded the construction contract for the project to Cox & Cox Construction, Inc. The notice to proceed was issued February 28, 2025, but due to concerns with the weather, the project was suspended until later in the spring when rainy weather would be more unlikely to affect construction progress.

Prior to construction beginning, a change order was issued to cover an increase in costs to accommodate a request from Caltrans regarding as-built information. The Caltrans as-built requirements were specified in their initial encroachment permit, however, after the project bid, Caltrans significantly revised the permit, changing the as-built requirements. In addition to this unexpected cost increase, when construction began in May 2025, the contractor immediately encountered conditions along South Market Street that were considerably different than what was anticipated when bidding the project. The existing asphalt in some places was up to 12- inches thick with a 10-inch thick concrete slab beneath the asphalt and other locations consisting of asphalt up to 22-inches thick.

These noted conditions required the use of different means and methods for the project installation and the two subsequent change orders depleted about 60 percent of the original contingency budget. As construction proceeded, excavation through rocky conditions was also encountered and not previously identified on the project plans, leading to additional and necessary changes.

Packet Pg. 283
Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 4.11(c)--Increase to Project Budget for Water Main 2024 Improvement Project Page 3 The remaining areas of work on the project are near the locations where rocky conditions were previously encountered and an estimate for completing work at these locations is included in the requested increase. Other unexpected costs for this project include repairs to the surface of Wildwood Road in an effort to match the existing condition of the road prior to installation of the water main; and additional exploratory excavation to locate the existing water main along Highway 299 which appears to be at least 14-feet deep rather than the 6-feet deep shown on the plans.

The additional work attributed to the existing conditions will cause the project budget to exceed the awarded amount. An additional $400,000 is requested to cover anticipated increases to the construction contingency ($362,000) and construction management ($38,000) project components.

Re: 4.11(f)--Award Water Main 2024 Improvement Project Page 2 Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
City Council may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this project, there is greater potential for increased maintenance costs, a decrease in reliability and an increased risk of water main breaks for the City of Redding (City) customers.

Background/Analysis
The City's water system includes approximately 2.98 million feet (565 miles) of conveyance and distribution pipelines of various pipe materials and sizes ranging from 1-inch to 48-inch.

Assessments of the City’s water distribution system indicate that the older steel, asbestos and cast-iron pipelines have had the highest rates of failure in recent years. To reduce pipeline failures and maintenance costs and to improve reliability to its customers, the Water Utility has focused on replacing older steel, cast-iron and asbestos piping in areas where breaks have occurred. This project will replace over 11,000 feet of aging steel, asbestos and cast-iron water mains, 85 water services, 18 fire hydrants and acquire any necessary easements. These mains have reached the end of their service life and have had several breaks in recent years that the Water Utility has repaired. This project will replace the old piping with new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ductile iron piping to reduce future maintenance and provide reliable service in these areas for the foreseeable future.

Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on October 17, 2024, for construction of the project. The low bid in the amount of $3,378,220.50 was received from Cox & Cox Construction, Inc., of Redding, California. The engineer's estimate was $3,114,025. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $521,300. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and consultant services for the project.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Sections 15301 - Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction, and 15305 – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations. Class 1 exemptions include the minor alteration of existing public structures and facilities. Class 2 exemptions consists 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 5 exemptions consist of minor alterations in land use limitations, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. The existing utilities will be replaced to provide reliable service that meets public health and safety standards. The project will be located in the right-of-way and will result in a negligible expansion of use. The action area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund fiscal impact related to the proposed Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance amendments.

Background/Analysis
The purpose of California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) (CCR Title 23, Chapter 2.7) is to establish and promote water efficient landscapes in new construction and rehabilitated construction projects requiring a permit with landscape areas equal to or greater than 500 square-feet (new construction) and 2,500 square feet (rehabilitation). This ordinance ensures landscapes are water efficient by setting standards for their planning, design, installation, and maintenance.

In 2010, the City of Redding (City) adopted Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Section 16.70, Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, that mirrored the state's requirements of the MWELO. In 2015, additional revisions were adopted to the RMC to meet requirements of state law and to include basic provisions as a way to provide easily accessible guidance to City staff and customers.

Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2025
Re: 6.1--Ordinance Amending RMC Chapter 16.70, Water Efficient Landscape Page 2 As a regulatory update, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) amended the MWELO, which became effective January 2, 2025. This update was to provide clarity, improve organization, and reduce ambiguities so that regulated parties can understand what is required by the MWELO. The recently adopted MWELO with strike-out amendments and the Department of Water Resources Final Statement of Reasons are attached to this staff report.

A summary of significant changes included in the January 2, 2025 California MWELO update are as follows:
• Revised the Evapotranspiration Rate (ETo) Table, Appendix C, increasing Redding from

48.8 inches ETo annually to 52.9 inches;
• Reorganized the prescriptive compliance option of the MWELO into the body of text, instead of Appendix D;
• Added reference to the California Fire Code for fire safe landscaping requirements; • Revised who may conduct irrigation audits, and increased recognized certifications to four auditor programs; and
• Certificate of Completion must be signed by the designer of record indicating the project has been installed in compliance with the documentation package.

The existing water efficient ordinance contained in RMC 16.70 is more restrictive than the state MWELO requirements. Specifically, the existing ordinance has a lower evapotranspiration rate (ETo) and stricter rules on who can perform landscape irrigation audits. Additionally, the Ordinance refers to MWELO for technical requirements with an emphasis on maintaining alignment with future updates.

The proposed text amendments bring RMC 16.70 into conformance with the state MWELO requirements. The proposed text amendments are attached to this staff report and are summarized below:
• Reorganized RMC sections to align with the State MWELO to correctly address the technical requirements, where referenced;
• Clarified the landscape documentation package prescriptive and performance requirements of applying the City Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance to projects; • Referenced specific sections of MWELO for added clarity of technical requirements; and • Revised who may conduct landscape irrigation audits.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that this action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The amendment will provide updated language and minor adjustments to keep the code updated, but will not result in physical alteration of the environment. The action has been reviewed and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.

2. For landscapes that do not have a meter, the City or appropriate water district will administer programs that may include, but not be limited to, irrigation surveys and irrigation audits to evaluate water use and provide recommendations as necessary in order to prevent water waste.

16.70.70 – Water Waste Prevention/Penalties.

A. The City will prevent water waste resulting from inefficient landscape irrigation by prohibiting runoff from leaving the target landscape due to low head drainage, overspray, or other similar conditions where water flows onto adjacent property, nonirrigated areas, walks, roadways, parking lots, or structures. The City may establish and administer penalties to the project applicant for non-compliance with the chapter to the extent permitted by law.

B. Restrictions regarding overspray and runoff may be modified if:

1. The landscape area is adjacent to permeable surfacing and no runoff occurs; or

2. The adjacent non-permeable surfaces are designed and constructed to drain entirely to landscaping.

16.70.080– Public Education.

The City will provide information to owners of permitted renovations and new, single-family residential homes regarding the design, installation, management, and maintenance of water efficient landscapes based on a water budget.

A. Model Homes. All model homes that are landscaped shall use signs and written information to demonstrate the principles of water efficient landscapes described in this chapter. The signs shall be used to identify the model as an example of a water efficient landscape featuring elements such as hydrozones, irrigation equipment, and others that contribute to the overall water efficient theme. Signage shall include information about the site water use as designed per the local ordinance; specify who designed and installed the water efficient landscape; and demonstrate low water use approaches to landscaping such as using native plants, graywater systems, and rainwater catchment systems. Information shall also be provided about designing, installing, managing, and maintaining water efficient landscapes.

Section 2. The passage of this ordinance is not a “project” according to the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act, and therefore is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

Section 3. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance and the application of such provision will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Packet Pg. 307 Attachment: ^Draft New Ordinance (6.1--Ordinance Amending RMC Chapter 16.70, Water Efficient Landscape) Section 4.

Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations
Division 2, Chapter 2.7. Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance § 490. Purpose.
(a) The State Legislature has found:
(1) that the waters of the state are of limited supply and are subject to ever increasing demands;
(2) that the continuation of California's economic prosperity is dependent on the availability of adequate supplies of water for future uses; (3) that it is the policy of the State to promote the conservation and efficient use of water and to prevent the waste of this valuable resource; (4) that landscapes are essential to the quality of life in California by providing areas for active and passive recreation and as an enhancement to the environment by cleaning air and water, preventing erosion, offering fire protection, and replacing ecosystems lost to development;
(5) that landscape design, installation, maintenance and management can and should be water efficient;
(6) that Section 2 of Article X of the California Constitution specifies that the right to use water is limited to the amount reasonably required for the beneficial use to be served and the right does not and shall not extend to waste or unreasonable method of use.
(b) Consistent with the legislative findings, the purpose of this mModel Water Efficient Landscape oOrdinance (herein after referred to as, “MWELO” or “model ordinance” for purposes of this Chapter 2.7) is to:
(1) promote the values and benefits of landscaping practices that integrate and go beyond the conservation and efficient use of water;
(2) establish a structure for planning, designing, installing, maintaining and managing water efficient landscapes in new construction and rehabilitated projects by encouraging the use of a watershed approach that requires crosssector collaboration of industry, government and property owners to achieve the many benefits possible;
(3) establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention for existing landscapes;
(4) use water efficiently without water waste by setting a Maximum Applied Water Allowance as an upper limit for water use and reduce water use to the lowest practical amount;
(5) promote the benefits of consistent landscape ordinances with neighboring local and regional agencies;
(6) encourage local agencies and water purveyors to use economic incentives that promote the efficient use of water, such as implementing a tiered-rate structure; and
(7) encourage local agencies to designate the necessary authority that implements and enforces the provisions of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance or its local landscape ordinance that is at least as efficient as the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

(c) Landscapes that are planned, designed, installed, managed, and maintained with the watershed-based approach can improve California's environmental conditions and provide benefits and realize sustainability goals. Such landscapes will make the urban environment resilient in the face of climatic extremes. Consistent with the legislative findings and purpose of the Ordinance MWELO, conditions in the urban setting will be improved by:
(1) Creating the conditions to support life in the soil by reducing compaction, incorporating organic matter that increases water retention, and promoting productive plant growth that leads to more carbon storage, oxygen production, shade, habitat and esthetic benefits.
(2) Minimizing energy use by reducing irrigation water requirements, reducing reliance on petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides, and planting climate appropriate shade trees in urban areas.
(3) Conserving water by capturing and reusing rainwater and graywater wherever possible and selecting climate appropriate plants that need minimal supplemental water after establishment.
(4) Protecting air and water quality by reducing power equipment use and landfill disposal trips, selecting recycled and locally sourced materials, and using compost, mulch and efficient irrigation equipment to prevent erosion. (5) Protecting existing habitat and creating new habitat by choosing local native plants, climate adapted non-natives and avoiding invasive plants. Utilizing integrated pest management with least toxic methods as the first course of action.

WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE WORKSHEET INSTRUCTIONS

1. Reference Evapotranspiration.
a. Lookup the Annual EToa value for the nearest City using the Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) Table provided in Appendix C and use this value in the EWU and MAWA calculations.

2. Calculate the Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA). a. RLA is the total regular landscape area in square feet. b. SLA is the total special landscape area in square feet. c. MAWA is calculated based on the maximum ETAF allowed for the type of landscape areas for the landscape project and is expressed as annual gallons allowed. d. Effective Precipitation. Per § Section 493.3(b)(5), a local agency may consider Effective Precipitation (Eppt), (25% of annual precipitation) in tracking water use and may use the following equation to calculate MAWA:

1. Residential landscapes:

MAWA = (ETo - Eppt) x (0.62) x [0.55 x RLA + 1.0 x SLA]

2. Non-residential landscapes:

MAWA = (ETo - Eppt) x (0.62) x [0.45 x RLA + 1.0 x SLA]

3. Calculate the Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU).
a. Column A – List each hydrozone using the label corresponding to the Landscape Design Plan. b. Columns B and C – Complete the ETWU table for each hydrozone based on the plant factor (PF) and the average irrigation system efficiency (IE). The plant factor is found in Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS).
c. Column D – calculate the ETAF for each hydrozone by dividing the PF (Column B) by the IE (column C); write the result in column D.
d. Column E – for each hydrozone measure and report:
i. Regular landscape area (RLA) as defined in §Section 490.2(a)(7372). ii. Special landscape areas (SLA), as defined in §Section 490.2(a)(8079), are not included in RLA measurements.
e. Column F – calculate the Estimated Water Use (EWU) for each hydrozone by multiplying columns D, E, EToa and 0.62 (conversion factor) and write the result in column F. f. ETWU - is the sum of EWU for each hydrozone and is expressed as gallons per year.

4. Compare ETWU with MAWA.

The ETWU (gallons per year) must be equal to or less than the MAWA (annual gallows allowed) to comply with MWELO.
