100% Design Submittal

1. Unless more stringent requirements are specified in Contract Documents or manufacturers' published instructions, comply with NEMA TCB 2 for installation of underground ducts and duct banks.

2. Consult Engineer for resolution of conflicting requirements.

B. General Requirements:

1. Comply with installation requirements for conduits in Section 260533.13 “Conduits for Electrical Systems” and as supplemented herein.

2. Ductbank routing and manhole / handhole locations indicated on Drawings are diagrammatically depicted. Coordinate with other utilities, yard piping, yard structures and field conditions to determine required paths and depths at no additional cost to Owner.

3. Where conditions do not allow neat and consistent duct bank cross sections in accordance with Drawings due to existing underground conflicts, provide Engineer with proposed solution for approval that complies with minimum NEC installation cover requirements.

For example, where the Drawings indicate direct buried PVC conduits are to be installed at a certain depth below finished grade, a concrete cap or concrete encasement may be permitted to achieve an equivalent protection. Do not deviate from Drawing details without Engineer approval.

4. Reinforce ductbanks as indicated on Drawings. Arrange reinforcing rods and ties without forming conductive or magnetic loops around ducts or duct groups.

5. Separate underground copper signal conduits (instrumentation and telecommunication) from power conduits by a minimum of 12 inches unless noted otherwise. Keep crossing of these conduits to a minimum; cross at 90-degree angles.

6. Plug conduit ends during and after installation to prevent water, mud, and debris from entering conduit.

7. After duct installation is complete and before any cables are pulled, remove obstructions using appropriately sized mandrel for conduits 2 inch and larger. Swab clean interior of all sized conduits. Refer to CLEANING Article.

C. Special Techniques:

1. Where indicated on Drawings, install duct, spacers, and accessories into duct-bank configuration shown. Duct installation requirements in this Section also apply to duct bank.

2. Slope: Pitch duct minimum slope of 1:300 down toward manholes and handholes and away from buildings and equipment. Slope duct from high point between two manholes to drain in both directions.

3. Curves and Bends: Use long radius elbows, sweeps, and offsets for 2 inch and larger conduits.

4. Joints: Use solvent-cemented joints in nonmetallic duct and fittings and make watertight in accordance with manufacturer's published instructions. Stagger couplings so those of adjacent duct do not lie in same plane.

5. Terminations at Manholes: Use end bells for PVC conduit and insulated throat grounding bushings with lay-in type lugs for RMC.

6. Building Wall Penetrations: Make transition from underground duct to RMC at least 10 feet outside building wall, without reducing duct line slope away from building and without forming trap in line. Use fittings manufactured for transition to RMC type installed. Install RMC penetrations of building walls as specified in drawings. ©2025 CDM Smith 251643-298407

7. Underground-Line Warning Tape: Bury underground line specified in Section 260553 "Identification for Electrical Systems" above concrete-encased duct and direct buried duct banks as shown on detail Drawings. Align tape parallel to and within 3 inches of centerline of duct bank. Provide additional warning tape for each 12-inch increment of duct-bank width over nominal 18 inches. Space additional tapes 12 inches apart, horizontally across width of ducts.

8. Ground ducts and duct banks in accordance with Section 260526 "Grounding and Bonding for Electrical Systems."
D. Concrete-Encased Ducts and Duct Bank Special Techniques:

1. Excavate trench bottom to provide firm and uniform support for duct. Prepare trench bottoms as specified in Section 312000 "Earthwork" for pipes 6 inches or less in nominal diameter.

2. Depth: Install so top of duct envelope is as shown on detail Drawing.

3. Support duct on duct spacers coordinated with duct size, duct spacing, and outdoor temperature.

4. Spacer Installation: Place spacers close enough to prevent sagging and deforming of duct, with not less than five spacers per 20 feet of duct. Place spacers within 24 inches of duct ends. Stagger spacers approximately 6 inches between tiers. Secure spacers to earth and to duct to prevent floating during concreting. Tie entire assembly together using fabric straps; do not use tie wires or reinforcing steel that may form conductive or magnetic loops around ducts or duct groups.

5. Forms: Use walls of trench to form side walls of duct bank where soil is self-supporting and concrete envelope can be poured without soil inclusions; otherwise, use forms.

6. Concreting Sequence: Pour each run of envelope between manholes or other terminations in one continuous operation.
a. Start at one end and finish at other, allowing for expansion and contraction of duct as its temperature changes during and after pour. Use expansion fittings installed in accordance with manufacturer's published instructions or use other specific measures to prevent expansion-contraction damage.
b. If more than one pour is necessary, terminate each pour in vertical plane and install 3/4 inch reinforcing-rod dowels extending minimum of 18 inches into concrete on both sides of joint near corners of envelope.

7. Pouring Concrete: Place concrete carefully during pours to prevent voids under and between duct and at exterior surface of envelope. Do not allow heavy mass of concrete to fall directly onto ducts. Allow concrete to flow around duct and rise up in middle, uniformly filling open spaces. Do not use power-driven agitating equipment unless specifically designed for duct-installation application.

8. Concrete Color: Red. Dye color added to concrete during batching; or dye mixed with water and applied to top of ductbank with a sprayer while concrete is wet (prior to curing); or raked into the exposed top layer of concrete.

E. Direct-Buried Duct and Duct Bank Special Techniques:

1. Excavate trench bottom to provide firm and uniform support for duct. Comply with requirements in Section 312000 "Earthwork" for preparation of trench bottoms for pipes less than 6 inch in nominal diameter.

2. Depth: Install top of duct as shown on detail Drawing. ©2025 CDM Smith 251643-298407

3. Support ducts on duct spacers coordinated with duct size, duct spacing, and outdoor temperature.

4. Spacer Installation: Place spacers close enough to prevent sagging and deforming of duct, with not less than five spacers per 20 feet of duct. Place spacers within 24 inches of duct ends. Stagger spacers approximately 6 inches between tiers. Secure spacers to earth and to ducts to prevent floating during backfill. Tie entire assembly together using fabric straps; do not use tie wires or reinforcing steel that may form conductive or magnetic loops around ducts or duct groups.

5. After installing first tier of duct, backfill and compact. Start at tie-in point and work toward end of duct run, leaving ducts at end of run free to move with expansion and contraction as temperature changes during this process. Repeat procedure after placing each tier. After placing last tier, hand place backfill to 4 inches over duct and hand tamp.

Firmly tamp backfill around ducts to provide maximum supporting strength. Use hand tamper only. After placing controlled backfill over final tier, make final duct connections at end of run and complete backfilling with normal compaction. Comply with requirements in Section 312000 "Earthwork" for installation of backfill materials.

3.5 INSTALLATION OF BOXES OTHER THAN PRECAST CONCRETE
A. Special Techniques:

1. Install boxes level and plumb and with orientation and depth coordinated with connecting duct, to minimize bends and deflections required for proper entrances. Use box extension if required to match depths of duct, and seal joint between box and extension as recommended by manufacturer.

2. Unless otherwise indicated, support units on level bed of crushed stone or gravel, graded from 1/2 inch sieve to No. 4 sieve and compacted to same density as adjacent undisturbed earth.

3. Elevation: In paved areas and trafficways, set cover flush with finished grade..

4. Install boxes with bottom below frost line, below grade.

5. Install removable hardware, including pulling eyes, cable stanchions, cable arms, and insulators, as required for installation and support of cables and conductors and as indicated.

3.1 GENERAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS
A. Field testing and commissioning is intended to follow the latest revisions of NETA Standard ATS, ECS, and MTS as applicable unless otherwise modified in these Sections.

B. Site standard phase rotation is clockwise. That is when phases A, B, C are connected to terminals 1, 2, 3 the phase rotation will be clockwise. If phase rotation must be corrected, it should be done at the end device, i.e. the motor.

C. Where two in-house potential sources are present and may be connected, regardless of the safety interlocks provided, testing to verify correct phasing is required. Without checking this, one source may have clockwise rotation with a 123-ABC and the second source may have a clockwise rotation with a 123-BCA installation. A three-phase short would result if safety interlocks fail and these two sources are connected inadvertently. Hot phase testing is required at all two source locations. This includes the following equipment on this project:

3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Verify electrical equipment and systems have been tested in compliance with Contract Documents.

DATE: 10/21/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of a sole source Professional Services Agreement with Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. for engineering design and permitting services for the site integration of an ultra-low emissions flare at the California Street Landfill and Wastewater Treatment Plant in an amount not-to-exceed $268,200 (Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
"I move that City Council approve the sole source Professional Services Agreement with Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $268,200."

1. RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council approve the sole source Professional Services Agreement with Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. for engineering design and permitting services for the site integration of an ultra-low emissions flare at the California Street Landfill and Wastewater Treatment Plant in an amount not-to-exceed $268,200.

DISCUSSION:

The Facilities and Community Services Department, Solid Waste Division, operates the California Street Landfill (CSL) and its’ actual day-to-day operations. It is an active Class III landfill regulated by various state entities that permit and monitor the site's daily operations.

The existing landfill gas flare system at the California Street Landfill and Wastewater Treatment Plant is over 25 years old and has become challenging to meet current operational and regulatory standards. To ensure compliance and improve efficiency, the City has initiated the procurement process for a new landfill gas blower skid and ultra-low emissions flare. This replacement system will ensure the City remains in full regulatory compliance.

In addition to the flare procurement, it is necessary to have a company provide engineering design and permitting services for the site integration of the ultra-low emissions flare. The project involves highly specialized technical requirements and strict regulatory compliance. Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) has been essential in ensuring that the selected flare will be properly integrated and that regulatory compliance will be maintained.

CEC’s role has expanded to include detailed analysis of gas production projections, flare sizing, and establishing the operational parameters necessary to meet the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit conditions.

The SCAQMD permit directly influences the City’s selection of the flare provider, and the City chose the John Zink Hamworthy Combustion system to minimize revisions to the approved permit. CEC has been involved in every stage of the permit review, beginning in 2024 when the City received the Permit to Construct a replacement flare from the SCAQMD. They have also been involved in the system design and regulatory coordination, allowing them to possess unique knowledge of the site-specific conditions, permitting requirements, and technical specifications.

Staff has determined that CEC’s continued involvement and approval of the sole source agreement are essential, as they are uniquely qualified to ensure the selected flare is properly integrated, the project stays on schedule, and regulatory compliance is maintained.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may elect not to approve the sole source agreement for engineering design and permitting services and provide alternative direction to staff.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Supports Priority D- Sustainability.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – General Arrangement Development Plan
The proposed flare system will be located on an undeveloped portion of the facility property located north and west of the existing flare station and north of the existing wastewater treatment facility drying beds. Consultant proposes to prepare a general arrangement plan for the City selected ZULE flare package. Consultant has assumed a preliminary flare compound area of approximately 1,500 square feet (SF) of available space for the proposed flare stack, gas blowers, air blower, programmable logic controller (PLC), condensate sump and utility infrastructure.

Consultant’s efforts in preparing the general arrangement development plan drawings consist of civil site engineering design, City provided survey information (topo, as-built site features and existing utilities), GCCS As-Built piping determinations, process piping alignment, interconnection of the WWTP DG and the existing GCCS LFG. Consultant will review City provided existing and any proposed utility infrastructure to develop an existing conditions site plan proximate to the proposed flare compound.

Consultant assumes the following:
• There is no need for land subdivision effort and the parcel has the proper zoning classification for this use;
• No CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) or NSR (New Source Review), efforts will be completed as part of this project;
• No CUP (Conditional Use Permit) or local permitting is included in the scope of work provided;
• Off-site utility design is not required for this project. This includes, but is not limited to, electric, water, sewer, and gas service;
• The proposed facility will result in a total land disturbance of less than one (1) acre; and • Consultant does not include services to complete a wetland and stream delineation and associated reports.

For data provided to Consultant in AutoCAD drawing file (.dwg) format, Consultant requests that files reference a basis of bearings and vertical benchmark. In the event PDF drawings are provided, the referenced information will be identified as approximate. Consultant assumes that one (1) in-person site visit will be required as part of this task. 8 I:\cmo\Agreements\Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. FY2526-033.doc-wm Consultant will provide information to identify critical locations and elevations required for the general arrangement development plan. The City is responsible to contract with the site surveyor.

Consultant may require the following information if not readily available from the City:
• Verify a minimum of three (3) existing ground control points based on the California State Planes, Zone 5, horizontal GRD coordinates, US Survey Feet NAD 83 (2011) per NGS data sheet EV9296 “BRYN RESET” and vertical datum will be referenced to a standardized datum (i.e., NGVD29). If information is provided in a local coordinate system relevant to the site and project location the associated conversion or shift must be provided.
• As an accurate as-built drawing of the existing flare equipment and GCCS system is not available, a 3D terrestrial scan of the existing landfill gas collection and control system components may be required at the City’s expense. If required, the Consultant will notify the City within 60 days of notice to proceed.
• If the 3D terrestrial scan is required, Consultant will extract certain key data points of the landfill gas collection and control system components from the City provided data.

This work would be limited to specific points and locations as directed by the design team and does not include the extraction, processing, or modeling of the entire data set. • The deliverable for this work would include a City provided point file with the coordinates and elevations of the extracted points, an AutoCAD file with the extracted points, and Consultant will present an exhibit, in portable document format (.pdf), depicting the extracted points (if required).
• Although not anticipated seasonal conditions and foliage/ground cover conditions are not an undue impediment to the completion of the survey. The City appointed surveyor will coordinate with Consultant to execute the required survey effort to include all requested information.
• The City Surveyor should be made available to document utilities and obstructions identified during Subsurface Utility Engineering efforts included in Task 4 – Geotechnical Engineering and Geotechnical Drilling.

The project schedule will allow the field portion of this survey to be conducted at a time where the project site area would not unduly obscure the ground surface, site improvements, and/or utilities. If the area to be surveyed is adversely impacted by either of the conditions stated above, the City shall be notified and a decision will be made as to whether the survey work will be initiated at a potentially higher cost and delayed schedule, or the start of fieldwork delayed until site conditions are remediated.

Task 2 – Detailed Site Integration Design of Selected Flare Consultant will prepare an existing conditions base map utilizing the recent topographic survey dated December 12, 2024, compiled by Aero Tech Surveys and provided by the City. Consultant 9 I:\cmo\Agreements\Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. FY2526-033.doc-wm will utilize this to prepare a site layout/geometric and grading plan. This will reflect a minimum of two (2)- foot and ten (10)-foot contours.

Utilizing the topographic map, City provided as-built information (PDF’s), City provided general arrangement (CAD as provided to the City by John Zink Hamworthy Combustion) and terrestrial scanning (if required) site survey (described under Task 1), Consultant will develop a conceptual general arrangement development plan for City review and comment.

Development of the general arrangement drawings will be an iterative process involving review and input from the City. The conceptual general arrangement development plan is anticipated to include improvements for site access, the landfill biogas treatment system facility and associated pipework, schematic representation of drainage features, and other miscellaneous site features necessary to define the proposed work. Other site constraints, including easements, rights-ofway, existing utilities, zoning/setback requirements (if any), etc. will be reviewed during concept phase. Given site constraints, and if space permits vehicle access, Consultant will analyze vehicles movements to confirm if truck access is attainable to each component of the flare compound and provide exhibits illustrating vehicle movements.

Consultant will develop the general arrangement development plan drawings utilizing the existing conditions base map. Consultant will show the existing stormwater measures such as swales, culverts, trench drains, pipes, and/or inlet requirements to convey the stormwater runoff to the existing storm sewer system or regional stormwater management facilities. Existing landfill gas collection system process piping, dual containment force mains, and drainage pipe alignments, locations, material, and sizes will be indicated for interconnection purposes.

General arrangement plans will be developed to convey the overall spatial arrangement of the flare compound, system process equipment and piping for the designated interconnection. The scope of services for this task will also consist of an engineering evaluation and design services to determine the optimum location, arrangement, and alignment of the proposed flare compound.

The general arrangement development plan will present the orientation and locations of the proposed flare compound including but not limited to an enclosed flare (John Zink ZULE) 7’-0” Diameter x 40’-0” high stack, combustion air blower, two (2) gas blowers, knockout vessel, condensate sump, flame arrestor, landfill gas block valves, combustion flowmeters, biogas flowmeter, operational groupings, considering the space requirements for process piping interconnections.
10 I:\cmo\Agreements\Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. FY2526-033.doc-wm

Flare Integration Design Example
The detailed design will utilize equipment plot dimensions prepared in CAD by John Zink Hamworthy Combustion Biogas Systems and provided by the City to the Consultant. Consultant anticipates that the flare stack will measure approximately 7’-0” in diameter and 40’-0” in height, while the air piping and combustion blower plot dimension will measure approximately 65’-0” in length and 8’-0” in width. Anticipated blower skid plot dimensions are approximately 20’-0” in length and 8’-0” in width. Consultant will finalize the design based on mutually agreed upon changes. Consultant will prepare construction level drawings, of sufficient detail, for obtaining bids from City-approved contractors.

Preliminary design of foundations and structures will be included to evaluate area and spacing requirements. The general arrangement development plan will present the equipment orientation, locations, alignment and interconnections of the required interconnection process piping and condensate drain lines and force mains, and include the following:
• Development of 2D equipment general arrangement development plan utilizing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) drawings showing relative layout within the process area boundaries.
• Enlarged process area arrangement drawings, as needed for clarification, using the overall process area general arrangement drawing.
• If 3D models of OEM equipment are available from the manufacturer, Consultant can include these models into a basic plant model to assist in evaluating issues with safety, operability, maintenance, and constructability. • Incorporation of the required structural, civil, key infrastructure and utilities that need to be considered for construction.

Task 4 – Geotechnical Engineering and Geotechnical Drilling 13 I:\cmo\Agreements\Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. FY2526-033.doc-wm As part of the flare design, Consultant will subcontract with Converse Consultants (Converse) to perform a geotechnical investigation report. The investigation activities will obtain relevant data to the site integration of the flare station and blower skid package. The general arrangement of the flare compound is anticipated to be 8'-0" Wide x 85'-0" Long in plan dimension. It is anticipated that the equipment will be founded on a concrete mat foundation with loads of less than approximately 1,000 pounds per square foot. The flare station will be located outside of refuse.

It is the Consultant’s understanding that there is no existing geotechnical data available for the proposed location of the replacement flare. Groundwater at the site is estimated to exist at a depth of 100.0 feet. Soils are anticipated to consist of silty sand.

Project Set-Up
As part of the project set-up, staff personnel from Converse will conduct the following:
• Review as-built drawings and geotechnical report (if available). • Review geology and groundwater maps to assess the existing subsurface conditions. • Conduct a site reconnaissance and mark the boring locations. • Submit Converse field exploration plan for your review and approval. • Obtain any permits required by the City of Redlands (assume permit fees are waived). • Notify underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to drilling to clear the • boring locations of any conflict with existing underground utilities. • Coordinate the field investigation schedule with the City of Redlands. • Discuss specific requirements with the Structural Engineer.

Subsurface Exploration
Converses subsurface investigation will include drilling a total of one (1) exploratory boring to a maximum depth of 50.0 feet. If refusal is encountered on the first boring, an additional boring will be attempted. If required, a third boring can be performed with approval of a change order.

The actual boring locations will be determined in coordination with the Consultant and the City, based on accessibility of the drill rig, landfill operations and underground utilities.

The purpose of the boring will be to:
• Obtain subsurface information at the proposed flare station. • Obtain undisturbed and bulk samples of the various soil types for laboratory testing.

If refusal is encountered before the plan depth is reached, the boring will be terminated at that depth.

The boring will be drilled with a truck mounted rig, equipped with hollow stem auger, for soils sampling. Soils will be continuously logged and classified by the geologist/engineer in the field by visual examination in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. 14 I:\cmo\Agreements\Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. FY2526-033.doc-wm Alternate Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and ring soil samples will be collected at two (2) foot intervals in the upper 10 feet and then at five (5) feet intervals thereafter. SPT samplers will be collected in accordance with ASTM D1586 and ring-lined Modified California split- barrel samplers in accordance with ASTM D3550. Bulk samples of near surface soils and every major change of soil stratigraphy will also be collected from auger cuttings and placed in sealed plastic bags.

Modified California drive samples will be collected with a 3.0-inch outside diameter, 2.5-inch inside diameter split-barrel sampler, and a 2.42-inch inside diameter cutting shoe. The sample barrel will be with 18-inches of metal rings for sample collection and has an additional length of waste barrel. Stainless steel or brass liner rings for sample collection are one (1)-inch high, 2.42- inch inside diameter, and 2.5-inch outside diameter. Modified California drive samples will be retained in metal rings and placed in sealed plastic canisters to prevent loss of moisture.

SPT drive samples will be obtained using a two (2)-inch outside diameter, and 1.375-inch inside diameter split-spoon sampler without lining. The soils recovered from the SPT sampling will be stored in sealed plastic bags to preserve the natural moisture content.

At each sampling interval, the drive samplers will be fitted onto a sampling rod, lowered to the bottom of the boring, and driven 18 inches or to refusal (50 blows per 6 inches) with a 140- pound free-falling hammer, from a height of 30 inches, using an energy-calibrated hammer delivery system. Compared to SPT, the Modified California drive sampler provides less disturbed samples.

The borings will be backfilled with soil compacted by pushing down with augers, using the weight of the drill rig. Excess soil will be spread at the site.

Laboratory Testing
Soil samples obtained during exploratory drilling will be tested in Converse’s laboratory to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering properties. Laboratory testing may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following:
• In-place moisture content;
• Soils corrosivity;
• Sieve analysis;
• Atterberg limits;
• Laboratory maximum density;
• Direct shear; and
• Consolidation.

N/A
If CEC’s services were no longer available, the City would be required to issue a Request for Proposal and retain a new consultant. Transitioning to a new firm at this stage would likely cause significant delays, increased costs, and disruptions to regulatory compliance. Specifically, it would delay the integration of the flare system, impact the overall project schedule, and jeopardize regulatory alignment, as CEC’s work is directly tied to the approved SCAQMD permit. A change in consultant could potentially trigger a permit re-review process and increase the risk of noncompliance with air quality regulations. Furthermore, the selected ZULE flare system was chosen based on CEC’s technical input and coordination, making their continued involvement critical to ensure proper system integration.

CEC Sole Source Justification
The City of Redlands engaged CEC to provide technical review and design support for the integration of the flare system at the California Street Landfill and Wastewater Treatment Plant. CEC was initially retained by American Internation Environmental, Inc. (AIE) to conduct a third-party review of the SCAQMD Permit Application (No. 616379), including evaluation of the proposed flare design and its capacity to manage combined landfill and digester gas flows.

CEC’s involvement has since expanded to include detailed analysis of gas production projections, flare sizing, and operational parameters necessary to meet SCAQMD requirements. The SCAQMD permit directly affect the City selection of the Flare provider to correspond with the outlined flare design criteria. The City selected John Zink Hamworthy Combustion to minimize revisions to the SCAQMD permit. CEC’s familiarity with the site-specific conditions, regulatory framework, and technical specifications make them uniquely qualified to continue with the following tasks outlined:
• Task 1 - General Arrangement Development Plan
• Task 2 – Detailed Site Integration Design of Selected Flare • Task 3 – Structural Engineering
• Task 4 – Geotechnical Engineering and Geotechnical Drilling • Task 5 – Electrical Engineering
• Task 6 – Permitting Assistance
• Task 7 – Bid Package
The objective of the proposed project to integrate the City selected Zink Ultra Low Emissions Enclose Flare (ZULE) and replace the existing flare as the primary control device while maintaining operational compliance at the California Street Landfill and Wastewater Treatment Plant. CEC’s integral role in the development of the flare system, site design and permitting strategy, transitioning to a new consultant could result in significant delays, duplication of effort, and increased costs. To ensure continuity, maintain regulatory compliance, and preserve the integrity of the site integration design, sole sourcing CEC for the remaining scope is both justified and in the City’s best interest.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

City Council Meeting J. 6.

DATE: 10/21/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of a $725,210.49 purchase order modification with Enterprise FM Trust for the vehicle lease and maintenance program resulting in a total purchase order amount not to exceed $3,791,433.53 and a total contract amount not-to-exceed $8,519,823.38 (Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker) MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:

I move to approve a $725,210.49 purchase order modification with Enterprise FM Trust for the vehicle lease and maintenance program, resulting in a total purchase order amount not to exceed $3,791,433.53 and a total contract amount not-to-exceed $8,519,823.38.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a $725,210.49 purchase order modification with Enterprise FM Trust for the vehicle lease and maintenance program, resulting in a total purchase order amount not to exceed $3,791,433.53 and a total contract amount not-to-exceed $8,519,823.38.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Redlands Equipment Maintenance Division oversees the maintenance of over 650 vehicles and equipment and the maintenance and operations of the City’s fuel station at the corporate yard. In July 2019, the City entered into a Master Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. for a light-duty and medium-duty vehicle lease and maintenance program.

This agreement has resulted in a structured and methodical vehicle replacement program. The goals of the program are to lower the average age of the fleet; achieve a reduction in net operating costs, as newer vehicles significantly lower maintenance expenses and have increased fuel efficiency; and improve the safety of staff operating city vehicles.

Staff recommends modifying the existing Purchase Order with Enterprise Fleet Management for the City’s vehicle lease program to carry forward unspent funds from Fiscal Year 2024-25 into Fiscal Year 2025-26. The unspent funds are attributable to vehicles ordered during Fiscal Year 2024-25 that have not yet been delivered and, therefore, were not invoiced within the prior fiscal year.

This action does not increase the overall spending authority previously approved by City Council but ensures that the remaining balance is available to support the ongoing vehicle lease program. Carrying forward these funds will allow the City to meet lease payment schedules, maintain continuity of fleet operations, and avoid delays in vehicle replacement cycles. This modification aligns with the City’s procurement and financial management practices by efficiently utilizing existing appropriations rather than requiring new allocations of funds.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council may elect not to approve the purchase order modification. However, this will greatly impact the operations of the affected departments.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Not Applicable.

Discussion:

The original Fiscal Year 2025-26 Purchase Order with Enterprise Fleet Management for the vehicle lease program was approved by City Council on July 1, 2025, in the amount of $3,066,223.04. Staff recommends increasing the Purchase Order by $725,210.49 to carry forward unspent funds from Fiscal Year 2024-25, resulting in a new not-to-exceed total of $3,791,433.53. This modification represents a continuation of previously approved appropriations and does not require additional General Fund allocations.
