City Council Meeting L. 1.
DATE: 11/18/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Reconsideration of the approved design of Pioneer Avenue, from Texas Street to Furlow Drive
(Council Member Tejeda)
MOTION(S):
Should the City Council wish to modify the approved design of this street section, a motion should be made to refer this item back to the Planning Commission to indicate a General Plan Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
No recommendation is provided at this time.
DISCUSSION:
This item is being brought before the City Council at the request of Councilmember Tejeda. A portion of the approved alignment for Pioneer Avenue includes a median intended to preserve the existing Deodar Cedar trees along the north side of the street. Councilmember Tejeda has expressed interest in modifying the alignment due to concerns that the median may impede traffic flow along the corridor and because the trees appear unsightly.
In an effort to alleviate traffic congestion at the intersection of Texas Street and Pioneer Avenue that resulted from the opening of Citrus Valley High School, the City Council, in July 2015, approved a General Plan Amendment that added a “Special Collector” street design for the segment of Pioneer from Texas to Furlow. This General Plan Amendment was approved concurrently with a new residential tract north of Pioneer and east of Texas.
The design of the new cross-section was driven by two objectives: the need to widen this section of Texas to four lanes to improve traffic flow through the intersection of Texas and Pioneer, and the desire to preserve the existing Deodar Cedar trees along the north side of Pioneer Avenue. Because the southern half of Pioneer Avenue is already improved to its ultimate alignment, Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
558 of 932
the widening would need to occur on the north side of the street.
There were two options considered in 2015: 1) remove the trees and widen the street to the necessary width, which would require an additional fourteen feet of right-of-way; or, 2) create a median around the Deodar trees and add the additional roadway width north of the median, which would require an additional thirty-eight feet of right-of-way. At the time, the Deodar trees were estimated to be between seventy-five and one hundred years old. The 2015 agenda report noted that community feedback favored preserving the trees, as they contribute to the aesthetics of Pioneer Avenue and provide potential nesting habitat for local and migratory birds.
The City’s staff arborist recently conducted a Level 1 Visual Tree Risk Assessment of the Deodar trees and found that the four trees located on the north side of Pioneer, between Texas Street and Castlegate Avenue, are in poor to moderate condition. Three of the four have missing or “popped” bark on the trunk, all are showing long-term effects of lack of irrigation, and most have damage around the base, likely from vehicle impacts. One of these trees currently meets the City’s removal criteria and poses a higher risk to the community than the others. If the remaining three trees are to be preserved, a rehabilitation plan is recommended. The three Deodar trees between Castlegate and Clementine are in average to good condition, although one appears thin.
From a staff perspective, eliminating the median and removing the Deodar trees would provide the benefit of reducing the amount of right-of-way that must be acquired and lower the overall project cost. It would also allow the widening of Pioneer Avenue to be completed more efficiently and within a shorter timeframe.
The project would still require some right-of-way acquisition, but considerably less than if the trees were to be preserved in a median.

City Council Meeting L. 2.
DATE: 11/18/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of Ordinance No. 2994. An Ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), by adopting by reference the 2025 California Building Code, 2025 California Residential Code, 2025 California Electrical Code, 2025 California Mechanical Code, 2025 California Plumbing Code, 2025 California Green Building Standards Code, 2025 California Energy Code, 2025 California Historical Building Code, and the 2025 California Existing Building Code, and making amendments related thereto (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff's recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
"I move to introduce Ordinance No. 2994 and the City Clerk is hereby directed to publish notice in accordance with Government Code Section 6066, that a public hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council is to be held on December 2, 2025 at 6:00pm, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard." RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2994 and direct the City Clerk to publish notice that a public hearing to consider a recommendation to the City Council is to be held on December 2, 2025 at 6:00 pm.
DISCUSSION:
Title 15 of the Redlands Municipal Code (RMC) contains administrative and technical requirements for building construction within the jurisdiction of the City of Redlands. RMC adopts State building standards and additional model codes by reference. The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code consists of Parts 1 Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
561 of 932
(Administrative Code), 2 (Building Code), 2.5 (Residential Code), 3 (Electric Code), 4 (Mechanical Code), 5 (Plumbing Code), 6 (Energy Code), 7 (Wildland-Urban Interface Code), 8 (Historical Building Code), 9 (Fire Code), 10 (Existing Building Code), 11 (Green Building Standards Code) and 12 (Referenced Standards Code). The adoption process takes place every three years and the latest update was published by the State on July 1, 2025. The 2025 California Building Standards Codes will go into effect on January 1, 2026.
The California Building Standards law provides that any city and/or county may establish more restrictive building standards than those contained in the California Building Standards Code that are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Administrative provisions in the code can be amended as needed. With the adoption of this Ordinance, staff is proposing amending the Building Standards Code and adopting applicable localized standards. The localized amendments that will be addressed under this ordinance will be located in Chapters 15.04, 15.06, 15.08,
15.10, 15.12, 15.16, 15.18, 15.22 and 15.23 of the Redlands Municipal Code.
These amendments encompass fencing and walls standards and permitting, construction site safety protocols, hazardous materials safety protocols, permit processing, utility coordination, board of appeals relating to code administration, fire protection related to roof construction in high fire zones, awning installation and permitting, temporary use of streets and alleys, grading protocols, swimming pool safety, sewer and plumbing code administration, plumbing code permit violation standards, electrical code administration and permit violation standards, restrictions of electric fencing, prohibition of utilizing used electrical materials, trailer, commercial, mobile home connections, and mechanical code administration with permit violation standards. All of these amendments are carry-overs from the previous code adoption.
The Fire Code and Wildland Urban Interface Code will be amended and adopted by the Fire Department in a separate Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may request this item to be continued for additional clarification or information regarding the Ordinance.

City Council Meeting L. 3.
DATE: 11/18/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of a recommendation from the Redlands Planning Commission to initiate an Ordinance Text Amendment to Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) of the Redlands Municipal Code to prohibit new warehouses and logistics distribution centers (as defined in Article XII of Chapter 18.156 of Title 18) in all zoning districts and specific plans within the City of Redlands.
(Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
Should the City Council concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation, the following motion is suggested:
"I move to direct staff to prepare a draft ordinance for the Planning Commission's consideration to accomplish the following:
Allow existing warehouses to remain as legal, conforming uses.
Allow existing warehouses to be rebuilt if destroyed by fire, or other natural disaster, only to the same square footage and building height.
Prohibit the construction of new warehouses citywide (in all zoning districts and specific plan districts).
Prohibit the assemblage of parcels that may contain existing industrial or warehouse buildings for the purpose of building new warehouses." RECOMMENDATION:
On October 4, 2025, the Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend that the City Council consider a code amendment to the Zoning Regulations (Title 18 of the Redlands Municipal Code) to prohibit new warehouses and logistics distribution centers in all zoning districts and specific plans within the City of Redlands, as well as other code amendments to address additional potential development scenarios related to warehouse uses.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
612 of 932
DISCUSSION:
Background: On April 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2955 that created Article XII (Warehouses and Logistics Distribution Centers) within Chapter 18.156 (Development Standards for Specific Uses) of the city’s Zoning Regulations. Ordinance No. 2955 created several categories of development standards, including: site location requirements (site must be within one mile of a freeway ramp); screening and buffering requirements for any adjacent sensitive receptors; traffic impact review requirements and signage (including a truck routing plan); sustainable energy requirements; and other operational requirements (such as outdoor storage areas and outdoor lighting). Note that the Zoning Regulations define a “warehouse” as a logistics distribution facility consisting of 50,000 square-feet or more, or has six or more truck docks or dock-high loading doors (see Attachment A). A "warehouse" use does not include ancillary storage related to other primary uses, such as manufacturing, assembly, service commercial, or other types of commercial/industrial uses.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the intent of Ordinance No. 2955 at three regular meetings on November 12, 2024, May 27, 2025, and October 14, 2025. A Commissioner raised a concern about a recent entitlement approval for a new warehouse project that redeveloped a prior manufacturing facility, while the proposed project still met the applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 2955.
Concerns were expressed about the possibility of more developers acquiring or assembling properties in the future for the purpose of completely redeveloping older properties with entirely new and larger warehouses.
At the most recent meeting on October 14, 2025, the Commission continued its earlier discussion of potential additional regulation with respect to warehouses in the City. After much discussion, the Commission voted 5-1 (with 1 absent) to recommend to the Council that an ordinance be drafted that would do the following:
Allow existing warehouses to remain as legal, conforming uses.
Allow existing warehouses to be rebuilt if destroyed by fire, or other natural disaster, only to the same square footage and building height.
Prohibit the construction of new warehouses citywide (in all zoning districts and specific plan districts).
Prohibit the assemblage of parcels that may contain existing industrial or warehouse buildings for the purpose of building new warehouses.
Summary: Staff is bringing this recommendation forward to the City Council for consideration. If the Council concurs with the recommendation from the Planning Commission, then staff would proceed in drafting an ordinance to implement the legislative objectives. The City Council can affirm the Planning Commission’s stated objectives, or provide revised or new legislative objectives to staff.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
613 of 932
After being prepared, a draft ordinance would proceed through the normal public hearing process with Planning Commission and City Council public hearings (in accordance with Chapter 18.204 of the Zoning Regulations). This can be a time-consuming process. Therefore, prior to proceeding further on this work effort, staff is requesting policy direction from the Council on this matter.
Environmental Review: Consideration and discussion of this item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at this time. This item is not a “project” as defined in the CEQA Guidelines. Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment are not subject to environmental review, pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. City Council can decline to initiate a zoning code amendment;
2. City Council can make revisions to the legislative intent or desired objectives;
3. City Council can continue the proposal and direct staff to address any further issues.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.

Therefore, loading docks, truck entries, and drive aisles may be located nearby sensitive receptors at the discretion of the Planning Commission, but any such site design shall include measures designed to minimize overall impacts to nearby sensitive receptors.
C. Trees shall be used as part of the solid screen buffering treatment for any adjacent residential properties or properties with sensitive receptors. Trees used for this purpose shall be evergreen, drought-tolerant, minimum 36-inch box size, and shall be spaced no greater than forty (40)-feet on center. Palm trees shall not be used for screening purposes. The property owner and any successors in interest shall maintain these trees for the duration of ownership ensuring any unhealthy or dead trees are replaced timely as needed.
D. Trees shall be installed in automobile (passenger vehicle) parking areas to provide at least thirty five percent (35%) shade cover of parking areas within fifteen (15) years. This requirement is in addition to the applicable standard design requirements for parking lot landscape and related improvements. Trees shall be planted that are capable of implementing this requirement. (Ord. 2955, 2023)
18.156.940: TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND SIGN REQUIREMENTS:
A. Applicants for entitlements shall prepare and submit a Truck Routing Plan demonstrating the most direct route(s) to and from the Interstate Freeway System based on the city's latest Truck Route Map. Routes to or from freeway ramps shall not pass through any residential zones or districts.
B. A traffic impact assessment (TIA) report shall be prepared to evaluate a proposed warehouse project's compliance with the City's Measure U traffic system requirements, and shall include an evaluation of the City's streets and Truck Routes that provide vehicular access to the Interstate Freeway System, including, but not limited to: existing right-of-way width; roadway capacity to handle the proposed quantity of truck trips to be generated by the proposed use (including any road widening that may be necessary); roadway design and improvements to handle the weight and frequency of proposed truck trips; intersection operations to freeway ramps and level of service analysis to include the proposed truck trips; truck turn radii at intersections; and other operational elements of the City's street network to serve the proposed use. The TIA may be prepared by a qualified consultant selected and directed by the City (and all consultant costs to be reimbursed by the applicant), or by a qualified traffic consultant selected by the applicant (and all work subject to the direction, review, and approval by the City).
C. Entry gates into the loading dock/truck court area with more than twenty (20) loading docks shall be positioned after a minimum of one hundred forty (140) feet of total available stacking depth inside the property line (or alternatively, if one hundred forty (140) feet of depth is not feasible due to site constraints, then provide seventy (70) feet of available stacking Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
617 of 932
depth for two trucks side-by-side as an alternative design). The stacking distance shall be increased by seventy (70) feet for every twenty (20) loading docks beyond 50 docks. Queuing, or circling of vehicles, on public streets immediately pre- or post- entry to an industrial commerce facility is strictly prohibited unless queuing occurs in a deceleration lane or right turn lane exclusively serving the facility.
D. Prior to entitlement approval, applicants shall submit to the City, and obtain approval of, all turning templates to verify adequate truck turning movements at entrance and exit driveways as well as street intersections adjacent to industrial buildings. Unless not physically possible, truck entries shall be located on Collector streets or streets of a higher commercial classification, and vehicle entries shall be designed to prevent truck access on streets that are not Collector Streets (or streets of a higher commercial classification), including but not limited to by limiting the width of vehicle entries.
E. Anti-idling signs indicating a five (5) minute restriction on engine idling for diesel trucks shall be posted at warehouses and industrial commerce facilities along entrances to the site and within the dock areas and shall be strictly enforced by the facility operator (13 CCR § 2480).
F. Signs shall be installed at all truck exit driveways directing truck drivers to the truck route as indicated in the T ruck Routing Plan to be routed to the Interstate Freeway System.
G. Signs and drive aisle pavement markings shall clearly identify the onsite circulation pattern to minimize unnecessary on-site vehicular travel.
H. Facility operators shall post signs in prominent locations inside and outside of the building indicating that off-site parking for any Medium Heavy-Duty trucks, Heavy Heavy-Duty trucks, truck trailers or cabs, and other operations-related vehicles is strictly prohibited. City may require facility operator to post signs on adjacent and nearby surface or residential streets indicating that off-site truck parking is prohibited by City ordinance.
I. All signs under this Section shall be legible, durable, and weather-proof. (Ord. 2955, 2023)
18.156.950: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY:
A. A minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the on-site motorized operational equipment shall be zero emission (ZE).
B. All warehouse building roofs shall install photovoltaic (PV) solar collector system or other form of on-site renewable energy, provided such renewable energy source is recognized by the State of California as a renewable resource under the Renewable Portfolio Standard Program. The renewable energy system shall be metered separately from the nonrenewable metered power usage of the building (if not in conflict with other applicable regulations). The renewable energy system shall be built to generate an amount of electricity sufficient to meet the following criteria:
1. Annualized building demand based on the approved use or, if no use is proposed, then the demand for the most energy intensive use that could occupy the building; and
2. Annualized demand required to charge fully electric vehicles and trucks, assuming that all vehicles and trucks to the site are fully electric; and
3. A reasonable rate of efficiency loss over ten (10) years.
Note: Electricity demand that exceeds the generation capacity of the on-site renewable energy system may be obtained from off-site energy sources or suppliers.
C. The warehouse building's rooftop that is not covered with solar panels or other utilities shall be constructed with light colored roofing material with a solar reflective index (SRI) in accordance with current California Energy Code regulations. This material shall be the minimum solar reflective rating of the roof material for the life of the building.
D. The on-site passenger vehicle parking shall include electric vehicle (EV) ready parking spaces in accordance with current requirements of the California Building Code, and at least fifty percent (50%) of the required EV parking spaces shall be equipped with working Level 2 Quick Charge EV charging stations installed and operational, prior to building occupancy.
Signage shall be installed indicating EV charging stations and specifying that spaces are reserved for clean air/EV vehicles.
Unless superior technology is developed that would replace the EV charging units, facility operator and any successors in interest shall be responsible for maintaining the EV charging stations in working order for the life of the facility.
E. Unless the owner of the facility records a covenant on the title of the underlying property ensuring that the property cannot be used to provide chilled, cooled, or freezer warehouse space, a conduit shall be installed during construction of the building shell from the electrical room to all (100%) of the loading dock doors that have potential to serve the refrigerated space. When tenant improvement building permits are issued for any refrigerated warehouse space, electric plug-in units shall be installed at every dock door servicing the refrigerated space to allow transport refrigeration units (TRUs) to plug in.
Truck operators with TRUs shall be required to utilize electric plug-in units when at loading docks. (Ord. 2955, 2023) Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25

Meeting Date: 10/14/2025
APPLICANT:
CITY OF REDLANDS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
(PROJECT PLANNER: BRIAN FOOTE, CITY PLANNER/PLANNING MANAGER)
1. Review and discussion of Ordinance No. 2955 and Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 18.156, Article XII, pertaining to the construction and operation of warehouses and logistics distribution centers within the City of Redlands. Consideration of a potential amendment to the Zoning Regulations (RMC Title 18) to prohibit new warehouse and logistics distribution uses in the City of Redlands.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission previously discussed this topic most recently on April 8, 2025, and May 27, 2025. There were several opinions among the Commissioners as to choosing the scope of a potential code amendment or choosing not to amend the code.
On May 27, 2025, the Commission voted 4 to 2 in favor of conducting additional analysis on amending the Zoning Regulations (RMC Title 18) and the recently adopted warehouse ordinance (Ordinance No. 2955). The purpose was to explore the potential for a text amendment to the Zoning Regulations (RMC Title 18) to prohibit new warehousing and logistics distribution facility uses in the City, without detrimentally affecting or amortizing existing warehouse developments.
The following provides an overview of the past development pattern for warehouse uses in Redlands and the unincorporated “donut hole” area.
Overview of Existing Zoning Regulations: Warehousing as a category of land use is only allowable in certain industrial zones in Redlands. On April 18, 2023, the Redlands City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2955 (Attachment A) which defines a “warehouse” as having 50,000 square-feet or more in gross floor area or having six (6) or more truck docks or dock high loading doors.
One of the primary development standards is a site location within one mile of a freeway ramp for new warehouses (see Attachment B). The zoning districts where warehousing or logistics distribution is allowable, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit, are the Commercial Manufacturing (C-M), Light Industrial (M-1), General Industrial (M-2), and Industrial (I-P) zones as listed in RMC Title 18.
Table 1 (next page) provides a summary of allowable zones.

Several of the city’s Specific Plans also allow warehousing and distribution centers (see Table 2, next page). The East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 40) permits these uses in these districts only: Commercial Industrial (EV/IC); Regional Commercial (EV/IC); and Special Development (EV/SD).
However, the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan also requires a discretionary approval process by the Planning Commission and City Council for such entitlements. Either a “Planned Development” or “Concept Plan” entitlement is required and is processed as a quasi-legislative action. Such entitlement require a recommendation first from the Planning Commission followed by approval from the City Council. When approved, it becomes the new zoning designation for the subject property. Therefore, all existing Planned Development and Concept Plan zoning designations were previously reviewed and approved by the City Council in a noticed public hearing.
Additionally, Specific Plan No. 42 (Redlands Research Park) also permits warehouses and distribution centers. However, this Specific Plan area is already fully built-out with multiple small light industrial buildings.

Existing Warehouses in Northwest Redlands: To provide more background information and context for the Commission’s consideration, staff has attempted to identify all the large warehouses in northwest Redlands as well as large warehouses within the County “donut hole” area.
Within the City of Redlands in the northwest quadrant (north of Interstate 10 and west of I-210), there are a total of 25 warehouses that exceed 100,000 square-feet, as summarized in Table 3.
Within the unincorporated “donut hole” area, there are a total of 31 warehouses that exceed 100,000 square-feet.

Almost all of these larger warehouse/distribution facilities have been developed over the past 20 years. Staff ascertained the year of construction for each property, and the results are displayed in a series of maps showing five-year increments of development (see Attachment C).
Six large facilities were constructed in Redlands between 2002 to 2005, thirteen facilities constructed between 2006 to 2008, and six facilities constructed between 2013 to 2015.
The pace of development in the northwest area of Redlands has been very similar between the City and County areas in terms of the numbers of facilities built over the past 20 years. For example, between 2006 to 2010, a total of 15 facilities were constructed in the unincorporated County donut hole area, while a total of 13 facilities were constructed in the City. Similarly, between 2011 to 2015, a total of 14 facilities were constructed in the unincorporated County area, and a total of six facilities were constructed in the City. The pace of development has slowed significantly since 2016; only four facilities have been built in the County donut hole from 2016 to 2021 (and one pending construction in 2025), and only two facilities have recently been built in the City (one completed in 2022 and one recently completed in 2025).
During this time frame, warehousing was listed as a Permitted use within certain East Valley Corridor Specific Plan districts (e.g., Special Development (EV/SD) and Commercial Industrial (EV/IC) districts). However, as noted above, the entitlement process contained in the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan requires either a “Planned Development” or a “Concept Plan” land use authorization for new developments. As a result, the City’s official Zone Map indicates that much of the northwest area of Redlands is labeled as “Concept Plan 1,” “Concept Plan 2,” “Planned Development No. 1,” “Planned Development No. 3,” “Planned Development No. 4,” and “Planned Development No. 7.”
Southwest Redlands: Within Redlands in the southwest part of the City (south of Interstate 10), Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
623 of 932
Southwest Redlands: Within Redlands in the southwest part of the City (south of Interstate 10), there are a total of three (3) warehouse type facilities that exceed 100,000 square-feet. One is believed to be a current logistics distribution facility, while the two other properties have manufacturing or other non-distribution businesses currently operating in them (although the buildings were designed as a potential logistics distribution facility and each building has numerous truck docks).
In the southwest part of the City, there are another five (5) properties that are believed to have warehousing and distribution uses for local businesses (e.g., furniture distribution owned by a retailer, food/beverage distribution for a fast food chain, another food/beverage distributor for several restaurants, and mix of other small office or light industrial businesses in the other buildings). These five buildings range between approximately 52,000 to 96,000 square-feet each. The largest building with almost 96,000 square-feet has been subdivided for two tenants (i.e., about 48,000 square feet each) and appears to be vacant presently. While these uses may involve storage and distribution activities (serving Redlands and surrounding communities), the operating characteristics that serve local businesses and the local economy are different from the larger regional/national logistics distribution facilities in buildings that typically exceed 250,000 square-feet.
These existing property characteristics and operating characteristics are noteworthy because they may inform the Commission’s consideration of alternatives, as well as possible thresholds or criteria that will define the types of large regional/national logistics distribution facilities that are of concern (and avoid impacting local businesses and other local serving uses that support the City’s economy).
Assembly Bill (AB) 98: As noted in the Planning Commission staff report of May 27, 2025, AB 98 (2024) will become effective on January 1, 2026, and will enact statewide design and construction standards for warehouses. This law defines a “logistics use” as “a building in which cargo, goods, or products are moved or stored for later distribution to business or retail customers, or both, that does not predominantly serve retail customers for onsite purchases, and heavy-duty trucks are primarily involved in the movement of the cargo, goods, or products.” AB 98 also defines new terms such as “21st Century Warehouse” and “Tier 1 21st Century Warehouse” for purposes of location siting requirements and project design features. Perhaps most importantly, this law uses a threshold of 250,000 square-feet of floor area for triggering the mandatory project design features. It should be noted that the City’s warehouse ordinance has several additional requirements (and some design standards and operating standards that are more restrictive) than AB 98.
Assembly Bill (AB) 735: More recent clean-up legislation has been adopted by the State in 2025 which made several clarifications to AB 98. There are now a few minor technical design details in State law (listed below) that are different from the City's ordinance. The requirements of AB 98 and AB 735 would likely not affect Redlands unless and until a new warehouse or an expansion to a warehouse of 250,000 square-feet or more is proposed in Redlands.
Minimum of 500 feet of separation from a sensitive receptor to a dock door; Heavy-duty trucks cannot use drive aisles on sides of the building adjacent to sensitive receptors; The site must have a separate entrance for heavy-duty trucks that directly access the major thoroughfare, arterial, or local commercial road abutting the project site; and, Buffer areas have a specified width (such as 50 ft. or 100 ft.) for screening and sound mitigation.
SUMMARY
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
624 of 932
The Commission’s comments previously provided to staff involved the possibility of the City: 1) adopting a total prohibition on warehouses and logistics distribution centers (the “grandfathering” option); and 2) the potential for strategic zoning amendments and buffer.
A) Code Amendment
List of Allowable Land Uses: The Planning Commission initially inquired about the possibility of a ban on future new warehouses as well as existing warehouses. The Commission suggested adopting a citywide prohibition by removing the land use category for “warehouses” and “logistics distribution” from the lists of allowable land uses for all zones and Specific Plan districts. One consequence of such an action would be that existing warehouses that had been legally established (and previously considered as a Permitted use) would no longer be “Permitted” but rather would become “Legal Nonconforming.” The applicable provisions pertaining to nonconforming uses and structures are discussed further below, including the potential need to amend Chapter 18.184 (Nonconforming Buildings and Uses) in the Zoning Regulations.
Another alternative that was suggested at the May 27, 2025, Planning Commission meeting was to allow the existing and legally entitled warehouses to continue as Permitted uses (i.e., without becoming deemed as Nonconforming or implementing amortization). However, no new warehouses would be approved or constructed. This could be an easier code amendment (compared to a total prohibition and “grandfathering” of existing warehouses), and would avoid the need to amend the Nonconforming chapter of the Zoning Regulations.
B) Nonconforming Provisions
Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 18.184 “Nonconforming Buildings and Uses” (Attachment D) currently addresses nonconforming properties, an overview for which is provided below. It would be preferable to avoid the need to revise the nonconforming provisions that would be necessary to create a special exception for warehouses. The code amendment described above (prohibiting new warehouse uses from being developed or established but allow existing warehouses to continue as a Permitted use) would avoid the need to amend the nonconforming provisions.
Existing Code Provisions: Uses that were previously listed as “Permitted,” meaning they were established legally with an entitlement from the City and continue to operate the authorized use, are referred to as “Legal Nonconforming.” Existing businesses that were legally established (when the code provisions stated they were Permitted or Conditionally Permitted uses) are allowed to continue. Such uses end only when voluntarily abandoned, they cease all operations for 180 consecutive days or longer, or the business changes to another type of land use (RMC §
18.184.030). Ordinary repair and maintenance activities may be performed on a nonconforming structure or use, but they are not allowed to expand their floor area or expand onto other properties. Ownership and tenancy of a property may change through the usual course of business, without any changes to the authorized use, occupancy, or on-site improvements.
If a nonconforming commercial/industrial use is discontinued for a period of 180 consecutive days or longer, then the property loses its Legal Nonconforming status (and may not be subsequently re-established or re-opened to resume any nonconforming uses or activities).
Discontinuation means any termination of a use, regardless of intent to resume the use.
Payment of a valid business license or business tax certificate, in and of itself, shall not be considered a continuation of the use. For example, if a large warehouse facility were to Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
625 of 932
terminate its logistics use for 180 consecutive days or longer, then the property remains as-is (and may be re-occupied for other uses such as manufacturing or other allowable businesses), but a logistics or warehousing use cannot later be re-established. If it can be proven that a building or property has sat vacant for 180 consecutive days or longer, then the owner’s possession of a current business license or other paperwork is not considered to be evidence of a continuing use or occupancy. In this scenario, all future uses or activities will be required to be “conforming” uses (i.e., in conformance with the current zoning code’s lists of allowable uses), and therefore, the property owner is not deprived of all viable economic use of the subject property.
In terms of rebuilding provisions for commercial properties, the code currently uses a threshold of 50% of the reasonable replacement value (based on the current assessed value as determined by the San Bernardino County Assessor) for allowing the re-build of a damaged or destroyed property. In other words, if a structure is damaged to such an extent that the value of reconstruction does not exceed 50% of its assessed value, then it may be rebuilt and the use resumed. On the other hand, if the damage and reconstruction would exceed 50% of its assessed value, or is voluntarily demolished, then the property may not be rebuilt and the use cannot be resumed unless it fully complies with all current zoning regulations. If a code amendment were to be adopted totally prohibiting warehouses, then that would effectively mean that warehouses that might be significantly damaged or destroyed (to such an extent it exceeds 50% of the assessed value) would be barred from rebuilding under any circumstances, which puts the City in a position for unique exposure to potential legal liability and monetary damages.
Code Amendment: If a code amendment were to be adopted totally prohibiting all warehouses (including existing facilities), then RMC Chapter 18.184 “Nonconforming Buildings and Uses” would need to be amended so that potential legal liability to the City is minimized. An exception would need to be created in RMC Chapter 18.184 to allow existing, legally established warehouses and logistics distribution uses to be rebuilt in the event of significant damage or destruction (i.e., replacement value that exceeds 50% of the assessed value at the time of damage or destruction). They would not be subject to amortization or enforced compliance.
Simply stated, a warehouse that might experience complete destruction due to involuntary circumstances (accident, fire, flood, earthquake, etc.) would need to be allowed to rebuild and resume the use. Otherwise, without such an exception, it is highly likely that the City would be exposed to legal liability and enormous monetary damages. At the very least, damages could amount to tens of millions of dollars or more for a single property (e.g., single-incident fire), or could amount to over one billion dollars for multiple properties (e.g., earthquake, flood, or conflagration). Further explanation is provided in the City’s attorney memorandum (see Attachment E).

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council determine approval of a construction contract and construction of the Cypress Avenue/Cajon Street Traffic Signal Project, Project No. 253008, HSIPSL-5083 (032), are categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.
Staff further recommends that City Council accept a $900,000 Highway Safety Improvement Project Cycle 12 grant award, approve the Cypress Avenue/Cajon Street Traffic Signal Project plans and specifications, award a $730,281 Construction Contract to Sierra Pacific Electrical Contracting, and approve an additional appropriation totaling $900,000 from the Traffic Signal Fund and Governmental Grants Fund.
DISCUSSION:
In September 2024, the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department (MUED) submitted a California Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12 grant funding application to construct a new traffic signal at the Cypress Avenue/Cajon Street intersection.
The purpose of the project is to enhance traffic operations and improve pedestrian safety at the intersection, which is currently controlled by a four-way stop. In February 2025, MUED staff was notified that the application was selected for $810,000 in HSIP Cycle 12 funding, which requires $90,000 (10%) in city matching funds, for a total estimated project cost of $900,000. The proposed project will replace the existing stop signs with four (4) new mast-arm traffic signal poles equipped with signal heads, pedestrian signal heads, luminaires, conduit, a signal cabinet/controller, a signal service cabinet, and video radar detection. The project will also include new striping and concrete improvements to enhance safety and traffic efficiency at the intersection.
MUED issued a construction bid notice in September 2025 and received the following nine (9) bids prior to the October 14, 2025 submittal deadline:

MUED staff reviewed each bid, determined that the Sierra Pacific Electrical Contracting (SPEC) bid is responsive and responsible, and recommends that City Council award a Construction Contract to SPEC for an amount not-to-exceed $730,281, accept the HSIP Cycle 12 grant award of $900,000, and approve an additional appropriation totaling $900,000 from the Traffic Signal Fund and Governmental Grants Fund. It is anticipated that the Project will be completed within eighty-five (85) working days after a Notice to Proceed is issued to the Contractor.
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act as the project involves negligible or no capacity expansion.
Section 2.2.3 (Post Award Grant Administration) of the City Policy Manual requires City Council acceptance of the grant award. MUED Staff recommends City Council acceptance of this grant and will manage all Project elements, including grant administration, to ensure compliance with City policies and grant requirements.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

10.2 Protest Contents. The bid protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest and all supporting documentation. Material submitted after the Bid Protest Deadline will not be considered. The protest must refer to the specific portion or portions of the Contract Documents upon which the protest is based. The protest must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting bidder if different from the protesting bidder.
10.3 Copy to Protested Bidder.

The pulverized materials shall be free of roots, weeds, wood, and construction debris. All grass and other vegetation shall be removed from the edge of the exiting pavement or lip of gutter pan to prevent contamination of the pulverized bituminous material during the milling operation.
Trimming and disposal of excess material, if required, will be performed on the intimate mixture of pulverized asphalt concrete, base materials and subgrade soil. Excess pulverized material is the surplus that results after trimming and grading the pulveri zed pavement section to the lines and grades matching existing and/or per plans and specifications.
Do not start pulverized roadbed activities if the ambient air temperature is below 40F. If the ambient air temperature falls below 40F, you may only compact and finish pulverized roadbed.
Before starting daily pulverized roadbed activities, sweep the pulverized roadbed area constructed the previous day to remove loose material.
301-7.3 Surface Preparation. Before pulverized roadbed activities start, prepare the existing roadway surface by:
1. Clearing foreign matter including vegetation
2. Removing standing water
3. Referencing the profile and cross slope
4. Marking the proposed longitudinal cut lines on the existing pavement as follows:
4.1. Cut lines must coincide with points where the existing cross slope changes, approximately at the centerline and edge of traveled way
4.2. Cut lines must indicate the sequence of the cuts
5. Referencing existing lane lines and striping layout
Final subgrade surface shall slope away from the street centerline to a maximum of 3% grade.
Pulverized asphalt material must be used as base material to meet new cross slope requirements.

The pulverized materials shall be free of grass and vegetation, and construction debris to prevent contamination of the pulverized materials. Mixing shall continue until, and at the speed of the recycling unit adjusted to ensure, a homogenous mixture of the above materials and pulverized materials are achieved.
Trimming and disposal of excess material, if required, will be performed on the intimate mixture of pulverized asphalt concrete, base materials and subgrade soil. Excess pulverized material is the surplus that results after trimming and grading the pulveri zed pavement section to the lines and grades matching existing and/or per plans and specifications. Excess pulverized material shall consist of non-treated well mixed pulverized AC pavement and subgrade.
Do not start pulverized roadbed activities if the ambient air temperature is below 40F. If the ambient air temperature falls below 40F, you may only compact and finish pulverized roadbed.
Before starting daily pulverized roadbed activities, sweep the pulverized roadbed area constructed the previous day to remove loose material.
301-8.3 Surface Preparation. Before pulverized roadbed activities start, prepare the existing roadway surface by:

SECTION 01254 CHANGE ORDERS
PART ONE -- GENERAL
1.1 REQUIREMENTS
Payment to the Contractor, or credit to the City, for any change, addition, deletion or extra to the Work, or settlement of any Claim, covered by any Change Order, shall be determined by the methods set forth herein. The Engineer may change the Plans and Specifications, character of the Work, or quantity of Work provided the total arithmetic dollar value of all such changes, both additive and deductive, does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Contract Price. Should it become necessary to exceed this limitation, the change shall be by written Supplemental Agreement between the Contractor and the City, which shall be executed by a Change Order.
Unless otherwise stipulated, “Unit Prices” include all costs necessary to furnish, install and complete the Work. The “Unit Prices” include all direct costs for labor, equipment and materials, all insurance and bond costs, all field and office supervisors and assistants, all onsite project administration, security costs, the cost of small tools and consumables, incidental job burdens, and all general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be made therefor. Assistants to field and office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic, and general office help. Incidental job burdens include, but is not limited to, office equipment and supplies, temporary toilets, telephone, utilities, safety equipment, warning devices, personal protective equipment, and conformance to OSHA requirements. Project administration includes, but is not limited to, review and coordination, estimating, engineering, scheduling, and expediting relative to Change Orders, and updating and furnishing Record Drawings to incorporate changes, schedule update, supervision not applied solely to the Work of the Change Order, home office salaries and expenses, and City of Redlands Business Tax.
A. Unit Prices
Unit prices stipulated in the Bid or itemized in the approved Schedule of Values shall be utilized, where they are applicable and determined reasonable by the Engineer. In the event that the Change Order results in a change in the original quantity of more than twenty-five percent (25%), either increase or decrease, then either the Engineer or the Contractor may request a review of the unit price to determine if a new unit price shall be mutually determined by negotiation. Any new unit price mutually determined under this Subsection shall only apply to the units in excess of one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the original quantity for overruns. In case of underruns, the unit price stipulated in the Bid shall be applied to the first twenty -five percent (25%) of the actual quantity of work performed and the new mutually determined price shall be applied to the quantity between twenty-five percent (25%) and seventy-five percent (75%) of the original quantity.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
771 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-2
Renegotiated unit prices or unit prices for new items added to the Contract by Change Order shall be determined in accordance with Subsections B through G.
Whether stipulated in the Bid, itemized in the approved Schedule of Values or renegotiated, the unit prices used for payment constitute the total adjustment with no further costs owed for overhead, impact, profit, delay or impact to unchanged portions of the Contract, or any other reason. The unit price shall be full and final compensation as described in Subsection D.
The cost proposals for renegotiated unit prices shall be presented in accordance with the provisions of Subsections B through G. Should any Bid Item be deleted in its entirety, the amount bid for that bid item shall be subtracted from the total Contract amount. The Contractor shall be paid only for the actual cost incurred prior to the notification of such deletion for that Bid Item.
B. Lump Sum
The Engineer and the Contractor may mutually determine a total sum for the Extra Work . The Contractor shall summarize the total cost and furnish a breakdown of the proposed lump sum costs satisfactory to the Engineer in accordance with Subsections B through G. Such lump sum costs shall be full and final compensation as described in Subsection D. The Contractor’s quotation shall conform to the requirements of Section 01251 - Change Order Requests, and be submitted in the Change Order Cost Summary Form provided (see Attachment 01251-A1). The Change Order Cost Summary Form cannot be used to nullify or supercede any specification or contractual provision.
If the method or amount of payment cannot be agreed prior to performing the Extra Work, the Engineer may unilaterally issue a Change Order in the amount determined reasonable by the Engineer for the Extra Work and direct the Contractor to proceed immediately. The Engineer also has the option to issue a Change Order directing the Work be done on a Time and Materials basis with the Contractor providing all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the Work in a satisfactory manner and within a reasonable period of time.
Estimates for lump sum quotations and accounting for Time and Materials work shall be limited to direct expenditures necessitated specifically by the subject Extra Work, and shall be segregated as follows:
1. Labor, up to and including working general foremen, who are directly assigned to the Extra Work . Employees identified as superintendents or non-working general foremen shall not be charged as labor on Extra Work.
The labor costs shall include actual documented payroll costs including wages, payroll taxes as established by law (i.e., FICA, Federal and State Unemployment Taxes), fringe benefits as established by negotiated labor agreements, and any insurance costs (such as Worker's Compensation and General Li ability Insurance but shall not include Automobile Liability Insurance or any other insurance costs) . A detailed breakdown of those Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
772 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-3
subcomponents of labor costs, by all crafts shall be submitted to the Engineer, by the Contractor and all Subcontractors, for approval, as part of the documentation of labor costs, within ten (10) working days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed. No other subcomponents of labor costs shall be considered, unless approved in writing by the Engineer.
The labor cost is not allowed to be increased by using labor classifications with paygrades higher than necessary to accomplish the Work.
2. Materials: The cost of materials used in performing the Extra Work will be the cost, including sales tax and freight, to the purchaser, whether Contractor, Subcontractor or other forces, from the supplier thereof, except as follows:
a. Cash or trade discounts available to the purchaser shall be credited to the City notwithstanding the fact that such discounts may not have been taken by the Contractor.
b. For materials secured by other than a direct purchase and direct billing to the purchaser, the cost shall be deemed to be the price paid to the actual supplier as determined by the Engineer. Supplier markup, except for actual costs incurred in the handling of such materials, will not be allowed.
c. Payment for materials from sources owned wholly or in part by the purchaser shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from said sources on contract items or the current wholesale price for such materials delivered to the Jobsite, whichever price is lower.
d. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the cost of materials is excessive, or the Contractor does not furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost of such materials, then the cost shall be deemed to be the lowest current wholesale price for the quantity concerned, delivered to the Jobsite less cash or trade discount. The City reserves the right to furnish materials for the Work and no claim shall be made by the Contractor for costs and profit on such materials.
e. For the purposes of this Section, a "Supplier" is defined as any person or persons, firm or business, who supplies materials of construction and/or permanent equipment, but who does not perform any portion of the Work of the Contract on site, for the Contractor, except that labor or labor supervision which may be required by some manufacturers as part of their equipment installation for warranty or other purposes.

CHANGE ORDERS 01254-4
3. Equipment Costs, including ownership, lease or rental costs, as well as operating costs, for individual equipment units whose replacement value is in excess of $500. Transportation and set up costs shall be included, but only if the equipment is imported to the worksite solely to perform work on the Extra Work described in the Change Order and the Contractor can demonstrate that the changed work cannot or could not be performed economically with equipment already at the site. Equipment costs shall be determined in accordance with the requirements set forth in Subsection G.
4. Small tools, equipment, consumables and incidental costs: No separate payment will be made for the use of small tools or equipment with a replacement value of $500 or less. This applies to tools and equipment owned by the Contractor or its subcontractors of any tier. Also, no separate payment will be made for fuel, lubricants, tool or equipment repairs, tool or equipment maintenance, consumables, drinking water, sanitary facilities or other incidentals. These costs are already included as a part of Markup.
5. Subcontractor Costs, including their overhead and profit, provided that such costs are direct costs to the Contractor for performing the Extra Work as set forth in Subsections B through G.
C. Time and Materials Work
The costs of all Changed/Extra Work submitted under the Time and Materials (T&M) method shall be formulated in accordance with the provisions of Subsections B through I.
Unless otherwise stipulated on the Change Order, the “Not -to-Exceed” amount for all T&M Change Orders is $ 10000. The Contractor is responsible for tracking costs and for notifying the Engineer in writing when costs approach 50% and 75% of the “Not-to-Exceed” amount. In addition, if the Changed/Extra Work cannot be completed within the “Not -to-Exceed” limit, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing, and in a timely manner, that the limit requires an increase.
The City will only reimburse eligible costs up to the “Not-to-Exceed” amount.
The Contractor shall notify the Inspector at the beginning of each day when Changed/Extra Work is being performed. The Contractor shall notify the Inspector of the Changed/Extra Work being performed and describe the personnel involved, whether by Contractor forces or by its subcontractors at any tier. Failure to notify the Inspector prior to the start of Changed/Extra Work serves as the Contractor’s waiver to claim for compensation on that day.
For each working day, the Contractor shall submit a “Daily Extra Work Report” (DEWR) to the Inspector. The “Daily Extra Work Report” shall summarize labor, Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
774 of 932

2. Labor, equipment, material or expenditures that are not included on The DEWR are ineligible for payment. There will be no exceptions to this requirement. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include any and all items of labor, equipment, or material for which it requests compensation for each day’s work completed.
3. Information required on the Labor form shall include name of personnel, personnel classification, and only the number of hours worked on Changed/Extra work for the day being reported. Since the overhead allowance already includes all necessary supervision, any hours for additional supervision or non -working foremen are ineligible for additional payment. The premium pay for a general foreman is eligible for payment only if the general foreman is a working foreman and a general foreman was required by a Union Labor Agreement or otherwise approved by the Inspector. The general foreman rate is eligible for payment only during the time that a general foreman was required for the Changed/Extra Work.
4. Information required on the Equipment/Material shall include Contractor - owned equipment and/or tools, and rented equipment or tools for which compensation is requested. Information shall include the type of equipment, size of equipment, equipment identification number, appurtenances, and only the number of hours worked on the Changed/Extra work.
5. The only allowable materials are materials delivered to the job site and/or incorporated only into the Changed/Extra work. The allowable materials shall be listed on the T&M sheet for the day that they are delivered to the job site and/or incorporated into the Changed/Extra work.
6. Delivery ticket(s) and/or bill(s) of lading for rental equipment and/or tools delivered to the site and/or material incorporated into the work for the day being reported must be attached with the T&M sheet for that day. No payment will be allowed for materials and/or rented equipment unless receipt(s) or bill(s) of lading is attached. If the request for payment is not substantiated by original vendor/supplier invoices, acceptable copies of original invoices, or other documentation acceptable to the Inspector, the City may establish the cost of the item(s) at the lowest possible wholesale price or rental rate applicable while the work was being performed.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25

CHANGE ORDERS 01254-6
7. Failure to submit the required “Daily Extra Work Report of Time and Material Work” by the close of the next working day shall waive all rights for that day unless otherwise approved by the Inspector. Work that cannot be substantiated by a “Daily Report”, approved and signed by the Inspector, is ineligible for payment.
8. The Contractor is responsible for preparing the “Daily Extra Work Report” for work by its Subcontractors and submitting the Forms to the Inspector on time.
9. The Contractor must have each “Daily Extra Work Report” verified by the Inspector. After the “Daily Extra Work Report” is approved by the Inspector, both the Contractor and Inspector sign the report. The original “Daily Extra Work Report” is retained by the Inspector with a copy provided to the Contractor.
10. When the “Daily Extra Work Report” is signed by the Inspector and the Contractor, it is binding on the Contractor and its Subcontractors.
11. When agreed to by the Inspector, the Contractor may submit a supplemental “Daily Extra Work Report” for labor, materials, or equipment for which the Contractor requests compensation but failed to list on the original daily report.
a. These supplemental forms shall be marked “SUPPLEMENTAL”.
b. Unless otherwise approved by the Inspector, the supplemental forms may only be submitted for approval up to two (2) working days following the date when the work was performed.
No payment will be allowed for labor, materials, or equipment included on T&M sheets not signed by the Contractor and the Inspector. Payment will not be allowed for labor, materials, or equipment included on T&M sheets signed by anyone other than the Inspector or the Inspector’s immediate supervisor.
D. General
It is the intent of the City to settle all Change Orders full and final at the time the Change Order is issued. Therefore, the following paragraph shall be made a part of all Change Orders, whether included or not on the actual change order:
“The compensation (time and cost) set forth in a Change Order comprises the total compensation due the Contractor, all Subcontractors, and all Suppliers, for the Work or change defined in the Change Order, including impact on unchanged work. By signing the Change Order, the Contractor acknowledges and agrees on behalf of himself, all Subcontractors, and all Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
776 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-7
Suppliers, that the stipulated compensation includes payment for all work contained in the Change Order, plus all payment for the interruption of schedules, extended field overhead costs, delay, and all impact, ripple effect or cumulative impact on all other work under this Contract. The signing of the Change Order indicates that the Change Order constitutes full mutual accord and satisfaction for the change, and that the time and/or cost under the Change Order constitutes the total equitable adjustment owed the Contractor, all Subcontractors, and all Suppliers as a result of the change. The Contractor, on behalf of himself, all subcontractors, and all Suppliers, agrees to waive all rights, without exception or reservation of any kind whatsoever, to file any further claim related to this Change Order.
No further claim or request for equitable adjustment of any type for any reasonably foreseeable cause shall arise out of or as a result of this Change Order or the impact of this Change Order on the remainder of the Work under this Contract.”
Costs which shall not be paid in Change Orders under this Contract include, but are not limited to, interest costs of any type; claim preparation or filing costs; legal expenses; the costs of preparing or reviewing proposed Change Orders or Change Order proposals; lost revenue; lost profits; lost income or earnings; rescheduling costs; costs of idled equipment when such equipment is not at the site or has not yet been employed on the Work; lost earnings or interest on unpaid retainage; claims consulting costs; and the costs of corporate officer or staff visiting the site; any compensation due to the fluctuation of foreign currency conversion or exchange rates; loss of other business; changes in taxes or increased tax rates of any kind or any costs identified as unallowable under the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
Extensions of time shall be based solely upon the effect of delays to the Work as a whole. Extensions of time shall not be granted for delays to the Work, unless the Contractor can clearly demonstrate, through analysis of the current updated schedule, that the delay to the Work as a whole arose or will arise from causes other than normal weather, beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the Contractor, or any Subcontractor, at any tier, and that such delays did or will, in fact, delay the progr ess of the Work as a whole. The Contractor shall not be entitled to a time extension unless it submits a Time Impact Analysis which is a calculation of the extent of the delay to the end date of the Work and which shows that the Work has been or will be extended beyond the current Contract completion date. A Time Impact Analysis is a scheduling procedure which utilizes the networking techniques (fragnets) and a written analysis of the facts associated with the alleged delay to demonstrate the effect of the alleged delay on the critical path of the schedule. A "fragnet" is defined as a sequence of new activities and/or activity revisions that are proposed to be added to the existing current updated schedule to demonstrate (mathematically and graphically) the influence of the alleged delay on the end date of the Work and shall be the sole method for incorporating delays and impacts into the schedule. The objective of a Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
777 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-8
Time Impact Analysis is to pinpoint, isolate, and quantify all time impact associated with a specific issue and determine its time relationship to past or current delays. Time extensions shall not be allowed for delays to parts of the Work that are not on the critical path of the currently approved monthly updated project schedule. Time extensions shall not be granted, nor delay damages of any kind whatsoever paid to the Contractor, until all available float, slack, or contingency time on the project is used and the end date of the Work is moved beyond the current, adjusted Contract completion date.
The cost summary, cost breakdowns and requests for cost reimbursement submitted by the Contractor (for delay, disruption, hindrance and interference associated with the changes, additions, deletions or extras) shall be itemized in a manner that, with mathematical certainty and without reliance upon probabilities or inferences, segregates the direct, actual reimbursable costs associated with each individual, change, addition, deletion, extra and (on an event -by-event basis) each individual delay or disruption event. Such cost summaries, breakdowns or requests shall not be based, in whole or in part, upon any methodology (such as “total cost” or “modified total cost” methodologies) that purports to calculate the Contractor’s additional costs of performance of the extra, change, addition or deletion (including without limitation the additional costs of delay, disruption or other impact) based on the difference between Contractor’s total actual Project or line item costs (with or without fee) and its original bid estimate for the Project or any original bid estimate line item. In connection with the foregoing, Contractor represents and warrants that it has the ability to generate and maintain complete and accurate cost accounting records that will reflect (i) the actual costs incurred or saved for each individual item of Extra Work, change, addition, deletion (including without limitation any costs of associated delay, disruption, interference, hindrance and the cumulative impact of each extra, change, addition, deletion on other parts of the Work); and, (ii) on an event -by-event basis, the effect of each delay or disruption that forms the basis of each request for extension of time, regardless of their scope, number, complexity, cumulative effect, or time of issuance or occurrence.
Except as provided in Section 6 -6 of the General Conditions, Contractor shall have no right to recovery of any compensation, costs, expenses or damages resulting from delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance in the performance of the Work (including without limitation interruption of schedules, excess or extraordinary extended field and indirect overhead costs, loss of productivity and the impact, ripple or cumulative effect on other Work).
Contractor waives any claim or rights and remedies based on abandonment, quantum merit, rescission or other similar legal theory by reason of any of the following circumstances, which the Contractor acknowledges and agrees are within the reasonable contemplation of the parties: (i) changes, additions, deletions and extras to the Work after execution of the Contract and issued from time to time throughout the period of construction, regardless of their scope, Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
778 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-9
number, cumulative value, or complexity, to correct errors, omissions, conflicts, and ambiguities in the Contract Documents, or to implement discretionary changes to the scope of Work requested by the City; (ii) the issuance and performance of changes, additions, deletions and extras in a manner that is not in sequence with the as -built or as -planned progress of the Work; (iii) changes due to Differing Site Conditions; (iv) suspensions of the Work or parts thereof, or limitations on access to portions or all of the Work, for the convenience of City or in the interests of the Project; (v) delay or disruption to the Work due to failure of the City, Engineer or Inspector to timely perform any contractual obligation.
E. Markups – Overhead and Profit
1. In addition to the direct expenditures specified for labor, materials and equipment in Subsection B, a lump sum will be paid for all overhead and profit, including: All insurance costs other than specifically mentioned in this Section, all field and office supervisors and assistants, all onsite project administration, security costs, the cost of small tools and consumables, incidental job burdens, and all general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be made therefor. Assistants to field and office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic, and general office help. Incidental job burdens include, but is not limited to, office equipment and supplies, temporary toilets, telephone, utilities, safety equipment, warning devices, personal protective equipment, and conformance to OSHA requirements.

Such lump sum shall conform to the following schedule of percentages of the total amount of direct expenditures of the Contractor and subcontractors.
(a) Work by Contractor. The following percentages shall be added to the Contractor’s costs and shall constitute the markup for all overhead and profits:
1) Direct Labor 20%
2) Direct Materials 15%
3) Direct Equipment 15%
(b) Work by Subcontractor. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a Subcontractor, the markup established in (a) shall be applied to the Subcontractor’s actual cost of such work. A markup of 10 percent on the first $5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work and a markup of 5 percent on work added in excess of $5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work may be added by the Contractor.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
779 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-10
2. Bonds and Insurance
An additional allowance of one percent (1%) of all direct costs (less markup) is allowed.
3. Add/ Deduct Changes
The overhead rates determined above shall be applied to all additive Change Orders, except those utilizing as -bid Unit Prices listed in the Bid Proposal.
Any change in the Work involving both extras and credits shall show a net total cost, including subcontracts. Allowances for overhead and profit to the net total cost, as specified herein above, shall be applied if the net total cost is an extra; overhead and profit allowances shall not be applied if the net total cost is a credit. The estimated cost of deductions shall be based on labor and material prices on the date the Contract was signed.
4. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a Subcontractor, the markup established in subsection 1.1.E.1 shall be applied to the Subcontractor’s actual cost of such work. A markup of 10 percent on the first $5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work and a markup of 5 percent on work added in excess of $5,000 of the subcontracted portion of the extra work may be added by the Contractor.
F. City Furnished Materials, Equipment and Services
The Engineer reserves the right to furnish materials, equipment and services deemed expedient for use on the Changed/Extra Work. The Contractor shall have no claim for profit or overhead on the cost of such materials, equipment and services.
G. Equipment Costs
The rates for rental or leased equipment shall not exceed the rates listed in the Caltrans Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates (Caltrans LS&ERR). For T&M Change Orders, the rates are established by the actual paid invoice(s) that comply with the requirements of Subsections G.1 and G.3. Owned equipment costs shall not exceed the rates established by Subsection G.2. The most recent published edition in effect at the commencement of actual equipment use shall be used.
The rates paid for any rented or leased equipment or tools shall include the cost of fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance and all incidental costs associated with the operation of the equipment or tools.
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
780 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-11
It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include any appurtenances added to equipment which would increase the basic rate for said equipment (i.e., hoe -ram, oversize bucket, and etcetera ) as established in the acceptable rental rate guide.
All equipment and/ or tools shall be acceptable to the Inspector, in good working condition, suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used, and necessary to complete the Changed/Extra Work. Payment will be based on the manner in which the equipment was actually powered, operated and modified per the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
1. Rented or Leased Equipment
For equipment rented or leased (including lease with purchase option) in arm's length transactions from outside vendors, the Contractor shall be paid the actual invoiced, rented or leased rates provided that the invoiced lease or rental rates do not exceed the rates set forth in the Caltrans LS&ERR. Arm's length rental or lease transactions are those in which the firm involved in rental or lease of such equipment is not associated with, owned by, have common management, directorship, facilities, or stockholders with the firm renting the equipment. Submittal by a Contractor of a rental or leased invoice from the lessor will be prima facie proof of compliance with the above. However, such invoices are not conclusive proof; if questioned, the burden of proof remains with the Contractor. In no event shall the leased equipment rate billed to the City be at rates exceeding those prescribed in the following table:
Actual Usage (Change Order

In addition to the lease or rental rate, equipment -operating costs shall not exceed the estimated hourly operating rate as set forth in the Caltrans LS&ERR . The hours of operation shall be based upon actual equipment usage on the changed work as recorded by the Inspector. For multiple shift work sequences, the allowable equipment rate shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the base rate, for second or third shifts.
b. When Idle:
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
781 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-12
Idle equipment is equipment on site and necessary to perform the Work under the change but not in actual use due solely to the impact of the changed work. Equipment operating costs due to idle time, documented by the Inspector, shall be paid at the rate determined in “G” (1) above. Idle time shall include a reasonable time allowance to and from the project site.
Payment for equipment or tools shall be limited to hours actually worked on the Changed/Extra Work if the equipment or tool is already on site for Work under the original Contract. No “standby” time will be paid for equipment already on site for Work under the original Contract.
If equipment or tools are used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to the rental source at less expense than holding it at the work site, it shall be returned, unless the Contractor elects to keep it at the work site at no expense to the City.
2. Owned and Other Equipment
Equipment rates for owned equipment or equipment provided in other than arm's length transactions shall not exceed the total hourly costs as set forth in the Caltrans “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates” effective at the time the work is performed. (The Cal trans equipment rental rates are available on the internet at
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/construc/equipmnt.html.) If the equipment is not listed in Cal trans LS&ERR, then the Rental Rate Blue Book shall be used. When using the Blue Book, the hourly rate for any period less than 7 days shall be the weekly rate divided by 40, plus the Operating Cost.
Except as noted herein below, this equipment hourly rate plus the estimated operating cost per hour from the Blue Book will be paid for each hour the equipment actually performs the Extra Work. Daily records listing the equipment units and their respective operators, identification code, and actual usage on the Work under the Change Order, as certified at the end of each work day (or work shift if the Work is being performed in multiple work shift sequence) by the Inspector shall be the record upon which actual equipment use shall be based. For multiple shift work sequences, the Caltrans overtime factor shall be applied (When using the Blue Book one -half the Non -Operating Cost will be deducted for second and third shifts. The Non -Operating Costs are the Blue Book monthly or weekly/40 rates, as applicable.) . It is agreed that this rate shall represent payment in full for all the Contractor’s direct costs.
a. When Idle:
Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
782 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-13
Payment for equipment necessary to be on the site to complete the Work, but not in actual use due solely to the impact of the changed work, shall be paid per the table in Cal trans Standard Specifications Section 9-1.03A(3b), provided that its presence and necessity on the site has been documented by the Inspector, and further provided that the equipment was idled solely by actions of the City. Idle equipment time will only be paid as a function of delays specifically directed or caused by the City's actions. In no event shall the idle time claimed in a day for a particular piece of equipment exceed the normal work schedule established for the project - usually eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week, and excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. For multiple shift work sequence, the allowable idle equipment rate shall not be allowed, for second or third shifts. It is agreed that this rate shall represent payment in full for all the Contractor’s direct costs.
3. Equipment Haulage and Set Up Costs
Documented and actual equipment haulage and set up costs shall be paid for, if applicable as set forth in Subsection B.3.
4. Other Equipment Cost Guides
In the event that a piece of equipment used on a Change Order is not listed in Caltrans or the Blue Book, costs may be derived from the Associated General Contractor’s of America Equipment Ownership Guide, the Associated Equipment Dealers Guide, or the Equipment Rate Guide published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as adjusted appropriately for the type of work and use and the regional area of the Work under this Contract.
H. Records
At any time should the Contractor deviate substantially from the schedule, method and sequence of operation, equipment, cost or pricing data furnished by the Contractor and agreed to by the City in connection with the Change Order or should the City determine that any price negotiated in connection with the Change Order is defective due to such deviation or the fault of the Contractor, the City reserves the right to reduce the Change Order cost and reissue the Change Order at the amount in which the City determines to be the actual costs to complete the change.
Whenever any material or process is indicated or specified by patent or a proprietary name, or by name of a manufacturer in the Change Order, such direction shall not relieve the Contractor’s responsibility or obligation to perform Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
783 of 932
CHANGE ORDERS 01254-14
work in accordance with the contract requirements. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for, and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures, coordination of all portions of the contract and Change Order work.
The Contractor shall on a weekly basis submit an approximate accounting of the amount expended on the Time and Materials work to date and an estimate of the Impact to the time of performance of work.

SCHEDULE OF VALUES 01298-1
SECTION 01298 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
1.1 GENERAL
A. The Schedule of Values shall be used as a basis for determining progress payments on a lump sum contract or any designated lump sum bid item. The Schedule of Values shall be a schedule of cost loaded construction activities equal, in total, to the lump sum bid and shall be in such form and sufficient detail to correctly represent a reasonable apportionment of the lump sum. Prior to submitting an invoice for payment, the CONTRACTOR shall have submitted a detailed Schedule of Values and obtained approval from the ENGINEER.
B. Each lump sum bid item on the Schedule of Work and Prices, as set forth in the Bid must be broken down separately. The breakdown of each lump sum bid item must cover the cost of construction required by the contract documents for that item. The sum of the values for the construction activities, within a bid item, must equal the total bid amount for that item. The breakdown shall include subcontract amounts which shall not deviate from the amounts submitted in the Bid Proposal. The CONTRACTOR shall provide certification from the Subcontractors certifying the subcontract amounts.
C. Each activity in the Schedule of Values shall delineate one construction activity.
For example, th e placement of concrete between construction joints, the construction of an electrical duct bank or pipeline between points A & B. The costing for each activity should include all costs for the labor and materials or equipment required to complete the activity. For example, concrete construction activities should include all costs for the forming, placing of reinforcement, placing concrete and curing. The cost for pipeline construction activities should include materials, equipment and installation including pipeline supports or thrust blocks. The excavation and backfill for a pipeline or structure may be separate activities. The Contract Price breakdown shall include the itemized costs for the plant establishment and any maintenance services to be performed before the final project acceptance is made. No non-construction activity shall be cost loaded.
D. The CONTRACTOR shall use cost loaded construction activities from the Construction Schedule as a Schedule of Values. Each construction activity shall be encoded to its bid item and a sort provided for each bid item totaling the cost loaded amount. The total of the Cost Loaded amounts for each bid item shall equal the amount bid for that item. The total of the Schedule of Values shall equal the current Contract value at all times. At any time during the progress of the Work of the Contract the INSPECTOR reserves the right to review the cost loading of the Schedules of Values and direct necessary revisions. When requested by the INSPECTOR, the CONTRACTOR shall provide all information necessary to substantiate the cost loading.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE 01321-1
SECTION 01321 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
1. THE REQUIREMENT
A. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of beginning, the rate of progress, and the time of completion of the Work are of the essence of this Contract.
B. The CONTRACTOR’S representative in charge of scheduling is required to attend all meetings pertaining to scheduling and progress of the Work.
C. The CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER 3 hard copies and the electronic file of the CONTRACTOR'S Construction Schedule (the schedule) at the time of the preconstruction meeting. The schedule shall be either a Critical Path Method (CPM) Network or a detailed Bar Chart with the critical path clearly shown. If the CPM network option is used, then Primavera Project Management or Microsoft Project shall be the scheduling software. If a detail Bar Chart is used, Microsoft Excel shall be the software utilized. The schedule shall include the following:
1. Activity ID,
2. Activity Description,
3. Start date for each activity,
4. Finish date for each activity,
5. Original duration,
6. Predecessor,
7. Successor,
8. Percent Complete,
9. Remaining Days.
A minimum of seven (7) calendar days for review of each schedule. Schedule activities shall be of sufficient detail to assure adequate planning has been done for proper execution of the Work and such that, in the sole judgement of the ENGINEER, it provides an appropriate basis for monitoring progress. The schedule shall begin with the date of issuance of the Notice to Proceed and conclude with the date of Final Completion shown in the Contract. Submittal and approval of the schedule in accordance with the requirements of this Section is a condition precedent to the issuance of any payments under this Contract. Once the schedule is approved it will become the baseline schedule and must be shown and compared on all subsequent schedule submittals.
D. Float, slack time, or contingency within the schedule (i.e., the difference in time between the project's early completion date and the required Contract Completion date), and total float within the schedule, is not for the exclusive use of either the CITY or the CONTRACTOR, but is a jointly owned expiring resource available to and shared by both parties. Pursuant to this float sharing requirement, use of Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
790 of 932
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE 01321-2
float suppression techniques shall be cause for rejection of the schedule and any revisions or updates.
E. Time extensions shall not be granted nor delay damages paid until a delay occurs which is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors or Suppliers, at any tier , and which extends actual performance of the Work beyond the current Contract completion date and the complet ion date projected by the current, approved, updated schedule. If the delay occurs along a path , which the current approved Construction Schedule update projects late completion prior to addition of any CITY caused delay, then the time extension allowed will be only for the additional delay demonstrated by the approved Time Impact Analysis. Time extensions shall be granted only if they are clearly demonstrated by the CONTRACTOR through the submittal, within seven (7) calendar days after the delay occurs, of a Time Impact Analysis which demonstrates the estimated impact on the end date of the Work; is based upon the updated Construction Schedule current as of the month the delay occurred; and demonstrates that the delay cannot be mitigated, offset, or eliminated through such actions as revising the intended sequence of Work or other means.
If a time extension if granted by the CITY, the updated schedule reflecting the change shall become the baseline and be reflected schedule and must be shown and compared on all subsequent schedule submittals.
Since float time within the Construction Schedule is jointly owned, it is acknowledged that CITY caused delays on the project may be offset by CITY caused time savings (e.g. critical path submittals returned in less time than allowed by the Contract or approval of substitution requests which result in a savings of time to the CONTRACTOR). In such an event, the CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive a time extension or delay damages until all CITY caused time savings are exceeded and the Contract completion date is also exceeded.
F. If the initial schedule submitted shows completion of Work more than thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the Contract completion date, the ENGINEER may, at no cost to the CITY, decrease the Contract duration by issuance of a Change Order which changes appropriate Milestone Date(s) and the Contract completion date to the completion date reflected on the schedule. Any approved schedule, revision, or update having an early completion date shall show the time between the early completion date and the Contract completion date as "project float".
G. Comments made by the ENGINEER on the schedule during review will not relieve the CONTRACTOR from compliance with all requirements of the Contract. The ENGINEER may request that the CONTRACTOR and all major Subcontractors (defined herein as being any Subcontractor, Sub -Subcontractor, or Supplier with five (5) percent or more of the value of the Contract) participate in Redlands Regular Meeting 11-18-25
791 of 932
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE 01321-3
review of any schedule submission. All revisions shall be submitted within seven (7) calendar days after the ENGINEER’S review.
H. Two copies of a n updated schedule shall be submitted to the ENGINEER for approval with the submittal of each CONTRACTOR'S monthly payment request or the monthly payment request will be withheld . For those activities started but not yet completed at the time of submittal, the updated schedule shall reflect the percentage complete, as agreed between the CONTRACTOR and the INSPECTOR, and an estimate of the remaining duration. The monthly update of the schedule shall include an updated bar chart with logic arrows or network diagram and include the same additional data as required by Section 1.C. If the CPM network option is used, the schedule shall be calculated using remaining durations and the progress override option. The monthly update shall also include a complete, hard copy list of all the changes made from the previously approved submittal. If the schedule is done using Primavera, use a Claim Digger report for the list of changes.
I. The submittal of an updated schedule which meets the requirements of this Section, accurately reflects the status of the Work (for all previously accepted activities), and incorporates all approved changes into the schedule, shall be a condition precedent to the processing of the monthly payment application. (Actual and/or forecast dates for status of additional submittal cycles shall be added without the prior approval of the Engineer.) Updated schedules shall also be submitted at such other times as the ENGINEER may direct. Upon approval of a Change Order or issuance of a notice to proceed with a change, the approved change shall be reflected in the next schedule update.
J. If completion of any part of the Work, delivery of equipment or materials, or submittal of CONTRACTOR submittals is behind schedule and will impact the end date of the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a written recovery plan acceptable to the ENGINEER for completing the Work by the current Contract completion date, if requested by the ENGINEER.
K. As a condition precedent to the release of any retained funds, the CONTRACTOR shall, after substantial completion of the Work has been achieved, submit a certified, final schedule which accurately reflects the manner in which the project was constructed and includes actual start and completion dates for all activities on the schedule.

WHAT happens if I don’t register?
Unregistered contractors working on or bidding for public works projects will be subject to an immediate $2,000 fine and the $300 registration fee to continue working on the project. Unregistered contractors may be removed from the project by the Awarding Agency. Contractors found working on public works projects without being registered also risk not being approved for registration by DLSE.
ELECTRONIC CERTIFIED PAYROLL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Prevailing wage law has been changed to require contractors to submit certified payrolls electronically to the DLSE.
WHO is required to submit certified payrolls?
All contractors, subcontractors and sole owner/operators will be required to submit certified payrolls electronically to the DLSE.
WHEN do I need to submit certified payrolls electronically? If your project is awarded after April 1, 2015, electronic payroll submission is required immediately.
Otherwise, electronic payroll submission will be required for all projects awarded on or after January 1, 2016.
WHERE do I submit my certified payrolls?
For now, certified payrolls can be submitted by contractors to the DLSE at:
https://apps.dir.ca.gov/ecpr/DAS/AltLogin This website address will change when the DLSE implements their online electronic database system which still has not been developed. Alliant will notify contractors when this system is available.
DO I still need to submit hard copy certified payrolls? The City of Redlands will still require hard copy submission of certified payroll reports per your contract. The requirement to submit certified payrolls electronically to the DLSE does not replace the requirement for contractors to submit payrolls to the City of Redlands.
Contact the City of Redlands regarding any questions you may have regarding the new requirements for contractor registration or online submission of certified payroll: (909) 798-7698.
