SUMMARY:

Over the past couple of years, the Ridgecrest Animal Shelter has been awarded two grants through the University of California – Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. These grants were in the amount of $147,000 and $562,441. The primary program goal of both grants was to increase capacity of spay/neuter services above and beyond what currently existed in our area. Although still currently within the program cycle for the second grant, we have been meeting the program goals and UC Davis is pleased with our progress.

As a result of the efforts of our Animal Control staff and volunteers, we have been awarded a third grant from UC-Davis in the amount of $149,250. This grant is focused on the following areas:

1. Pet retention.

2. Intake prevention.

3. Foster recruitment and retention.

4. Professional development and education.

5. Material language translation.

The grant funds are paid in advance and there is no reimbursement procedures needed.

The grant period begins March 01, 2024 and ends February 28, 2025.

ADMINISTRATIVE PURCHASING POLICY
Purpose
This defines the policies and procedures for the procurement of supplies, equipment, and services for the City and supersedes other policies and procedures related to purchasing.

I. Scope
The basic purchasing policy of the City is to obtain quality supplies, services, and equipment for the City's operation at the lowest cost through the use of quotes and competitive bidding whenever possible. The policies herein enumerated are within the scope of the duly revised official City/Agency budget.

II. Purchasing Authority
There are six positions authorized to make purchases: (1) Information Technology Manager, (2) City Clerk, (3) Department Heads, (4) Finance Director, (5) Deputy City Manager, and (6) City Manager. Limits prescribed herein shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and may be changed as occasion may require by Council Resolution.
a. A Department Head may purchase supplies, equipment, or services needed for the department up to $15,000, but purchases in excess of $2,000 must be pursuant to a purchase order. In addition, a Department Head may delegate purchasing authority up to $5,000 to management or supervisory level employees.
b. The Finance Director and Deputy City Manager may purchase or approve for purchase supplies, equipment, or services for any department up to $30,000.
c. The City Manager may purchase or approve for purchase supplies, equipment, or services for any department up to $50,000 or purchases above $50,000 which have been approved within the budget. d. City Council shall award all public improvement contracts requiring formal sealed bids. The results of the bids, along with recommendations regarding results and awards, are to be submitted by the City Manager or designee to the City Council. The Council will declare the outcome of bids at public session.

III. Process
a. Purchases of less than $2,000 do not require comparative pricing.

However, comparative pricing should be used whenever practical.

Purchase orders may be issued regardless of the amount when required 98 by the vendor or when the complexity of the contract demands a formal document for clarity.
b. A purchase order is required for purchases where the estimated cost exceeds $2,000. Cost of acquisition includes the cost of the item plus tax, shipping, or any other related expenses. Purchase order request must consist of at least three vendor quotes unless the vendor is considered a "sole source" supplier. Purchases are not to be split to circumvent these purchasing limits.
c. When seeking goods or services exceeding $2,000, a purchase order is required, and the department is required to submit a purchase order request, including speci cations, at least three quotes, and other supporting data, to the Finance Department before making the purchase.

Upon approval, a purchase order will be issued.

IV. Responsibilities of Departments
a. Each Department Head shall ensure employees are following purchasing procedures in the department. Further, each department shall:
i. Verify that budget funds are available for items requisitioned. ii. Consider the time required for the procurement process and plan for needs in advance so as not to create an arti cial "emergency." iii. Never "split" orders for the purpose of avoiding procurement requirements. Splitting a job to prevent bidding for a work of improvement is a felony and will be referred to the District Attorney by the City Attorney for prosecution.
iv. Never obligate the City to unauthorized commitments. v. Purchase orders are to be issued BEFORE goods or services are purchased.

V. Purchasing Policies
a. Ethics
In performing their duties under this policy, City Council members and employees shall observe con icts of interest and procurement statutes.

City Council members and employees shall consult with the City Attorney concerning the City's interpretation of such laws. Violation of state laws pertaining to conflicts of interest or procurement will result in discipline up to termination. City Council members and employees shall follow the highest ethical standards in procurement. Employees may make purchases from relatives, other than spouses, with written authorization from the City Manager.
b. Vendor Requirements
Vendors doing business within the City of Ridgecrest must obtain a Ridgecrest City business license. All vendors must complete the vendor 99 registration form (Attachment A) and an IRS form W-9, to be entered into the City of Ridgecrest Accounts Payable system for payment. c. Request of a Purchase Order
When a purchase order is required, a purchase order request must be entered into the City's Purchasing system. The request must contain suf cient information to ensure the acquisition of the correct item(s), vendor quote information, and comments indicating the purpose of the requisition. The City's purchasing system manages account budgets on a line-item basis. If the purchase order request being entered will put an account over budget, a Budget Adjustment request (Attachment B) must be completed before issuing the purchase order. Those budgets that are managed at the project level require that project line items be within budget as well. The Finance Director may allow a budget override as long as such action would not put the fund over-budget when reasonably projected to the end of the scal year. Purchase orders will not be made utilizing accounts that are unrelated to the type of item or service being purchased.
d. Purchase Order
The purpose of a purchase order is to manage the budget, not to pay invoices. The purchase order number is generated by the Finance Department upon final approval and acceptance of the purchase order request. Upon completion of the purchase order, the Finance Department will distribute copies to the ordering department. The ordering department is responsible for forwarding the purchase order to the vendor/contractor. e. Amendment to Purchase Order
It is sometimes necessary to change a purchase order after it has been issued. The three most common changes are monetary, time extension, and scope of work. Only the City Manager or Finance Director may approve a formal change to an existing purchase order. The requesting department must complete a purchase order change request noting that it is for the purpose of a Contract Change Order. The purchase order change request must include a detailed description of the change/amendment. Upon approval by the Finance Director and/or City Manager, the requesting department will receive an amended purchase order reflecting the change(s). The requesting department is responsible for forwarding the change order to the vendor.
f. Open Purchase Order
Open purchase orders are entered into vendors that are expected to supply products or services to the City on an ongoing and/or regular basis 100
throughout the year. Open purchase orders are closed at the conclusion of each fiscal year. A department must make a request to the Finance Department at the beginning of each scal year for an open purchase order to be issued for the new scal year.
g. Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Qualifications (RFQ) In detail, the RFP/RFQ de nes the terms, conditions, and specifications of goods or services required by the City. An RFP is primarily intended for large, complex projects where cost and performance are equally important. An RFQ is intended mainly for professional services. However, the RFP/RFQ may also be utilized for smaller projects. The RFP/RFQ will be used whenever the acquisition of goods or services is multi-faceted and carries a high possibility of liability for the City.

Two-step RFP/RFQ: in this case, pricing is not included in the RFP/RFQ but is submitted in a separate sealed envelope. Only after selection is made on the basis of the proposal is the favored bidder's pricing information opened. The other proposal's pricing envelopes are returned to the respective bidders unopened. Once a bid has been accepted, and a contract is signed, the money budgeted to fund the purchase is to be encumbered via a purchase order request.
h. Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals
The Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals (NISP) is prepared by the initiating division and is formal noti cation, through posting and advertisement by the City Clerk that the City is soliciting goods or services. This gives widespread exposure to the City's needs, expands the vendor base, and ful lls the legal responsibility of providing fair access to supplying the City's needs. The NISP must contain suf cient information to de ne the work and other details to the reader and the date and time at which the bids will be publicly opened and read. If expanded documentation is available, the NISP must indicate the cost, if any, plus the procedures for acquiring such documents (see II, c, City Manager Authorization).

Speci cations and other relative data shall be sent to the City Manager, or his authorized representative, for approval before issuing a NISP. Upon approval by the City, the Notice will be prepared by the initiating department and forwarded to the City Clerk for publication. The City Clerk must receive the Notice at least six weeks before the date and time set for opening of bids.

Formal bid opening dates will be at a time, date, and location specified in the Notice. The City Clerk, or a designee, will publicly open and declare the content of bids received at the time and place specified in the Notice. 101
Bids received after the appointed hour for opening will be returned unopened to the sender. The City Manager or City Council may reject all bids. In addition, the City may consider responsiveness to speci cations, ability to render post-purchase service, and the life cycle cost of the equipment. Bid results will be made available to interested parties following the bid reading.

For public improvement projects in excess of $50,000, the City Manager shall report the formal bidding results to the City Council along with recommendations regarding results and award. The Council will declare the outcome of bids at public session. If at least two bids are not received, the bid opening may be suspended pending City Council action. If the determination is made to open the sole original bid, or if no other bids are received during the bid extension, the Council may: 1) Re-advertise; 2) Order the work done by City employees; 3) Award the contract to the sole bidder based on a cost analysis evidencing the relationship of the one bid to expected market price, and 4) Negotiate a contract to the best advantage of the City.
i. Credit Card Purchase
For certain purchases, the use of a credit card is expedient and sometimes even necessary (e.g., car rental). Procedures for using City credit cards are described in the City's Credit Card Policy & Procedures guide.
j. Receiving of Goods/ Equipment
i. Inspection and Testing
All goods procured by the City shall be subject to inspection and/or testing upon receipt or completion by the department receiving the product to assure conformance with the speci cations set forth in the order. If a product is determined to be unusable, it shall be rejected and returned to the vendor as the vendor directs and for credit or replacement at their expense. Items found not to speci cations but of limited usability may be conditionally accepted but only after renegotiation of the original contract.
ii. The Finance Director or their designee shall have the authority to require chemical and physical tests or any other necessary tests to ensure full compliance with the specifications.
iii. Acceptance
When goods have been received or a project has been completed to the satisfaction of the ordering department, and the speci cations, the packing slip and/or other completion documentation shall be signed-off by the receiver/inspector.

Information to be noted on the documents must include, as a 102
minimum, the acceptor's signature and a legible rendering of their name and the date of receipt/completion. In addition, any deviation from the exact ordering speci cations must be noted on the receiving/acceptance documents.

VI. Exceptions
a. In case of emergency, the City Manager may authorize the Finance Director or designee to secure in the open market, at the lowest obtainable price, supplies, materials, equipment, or contractual services required, regardless of the amount of the expenditure. A breakdown in machinery or equipment resulting in the interruption of an essential service or a distinct threat to public health, safety, or welfare ("emergency") requires the immediate purchase of supplies, materials, equipment, or services. During an emergency, the affected department may purchase supplies, materials, equipment, or services after the department head has concluded that the purchase is essential to prevent delays that may adversely affect citizens' lives, health, or safety. As soon as possible, the department head shall provide a completed purchase order request to the Finance Director or designee and a full written explanation of the circumstances.
i. Nothing contained herein shall limit the authority of the director of emergency services or the City Manager to make purchases and take such other emergency steps as are, or maybe, authorized by the City Council in the case of a disaster or for civil defense. b. Occasionally, required supplies, material, equipment, or services are of a proprietary nature, or are otherwise of such speci c design or construction, or are speci cally desired for purposes of maintaining costeffective system consistency, as to be available from only one source.

After reasonable efforts to find alternative suppliers, the Finance Director or designee may dispense with the requirement of a minimum of three bids and recommend making the purchase from the sole source. c. The Finance Director or designee may join with other public jurisdictions in cooperative purchasing agreements. The Finance Director or designee may also buy directly from a vendor at a price established by competitive bidding by another public jurisdiction in substantial compliance with this policy, even if the City has not joined with that public agency in a formal agreement. The Finance Director or designee may also purchase from the United States of America or any state, municipality, or other public corporation or agency without following formal purchasing procedures as de ned in this document.
d. Local preference is the practice of procurement from vendors who are City taxpayers because it stimulates the City's economy. Purchase orders are issued based on quality, previous performance, ability to meet the contract 103
requirements, availability of service and parts, delivery schedule, and payment terms/discounts. When these factors are equal except price, a preference will be given to local vendors at the discretion of the City Council or employee.

VII. Record Keeping
The original bid shall be led with the Clerk, and the original documents will be led with the Finance Department. When the purchase is nal, all original documents shall be led with the City Clerk. The Finance Department shall maintain purchasing records.

During the course of a Contract, the department will maintain records of contract administration. At the conclusion of the Contract, the original bids, speci cations, and other pertinent data will be forwarded, with the request for nal payment, to the Finance Department.

VIII. Payment Procedures
a. Request for Payment
Payments are generated as a result of either a Payment Request form (Attachment C) or an Invoice. The ordering/administering department is responsible for initiating payment requests for goods received and services rendered.

Upon completing the Payment Request Form, the requesting department shall forward the completed form and proper supporting documentation to Accounts Payable. If the request is for a partial payment on a purchase order, a copy of the Purchase Order is to accompany the request; if it is for final payment on a purchase order, a notation is to be made that the purchase order is to be closed following processing of the requested payment.

All invoices are to be sent directly to the Finance Department by the vendor. Invoices will then be submitted to the responsible department for coding and approval. It is the responsibility of the ordering department to verify that funds are available in the account number they code on the invoice. The invoice is then to be returned to the Finance Department within the time frame specified by the Finance Director. For purchases in excess of $2,000 that require a purchase order, a copy of the Purchase Order is to accompany the invoice.
b. Urgent/Emergency Payment (Pre-lssue Payment)
Pursuant to City of Ridgecrest Resolution 00-91 Exhibit "A" § 4, the issuance of pre-issue payment is discouraged and should be done only in 104
emergencies or when expediting payment is required or highly desired by the circumstance as determined by the City Manager. When requesting urgent/emergency payment, the requesting division must complete a PreIssue Payment Request Form (Attachment D) and attach all relevant supporting documentation. The request form must be signed by the Department Head of the requesting department, the Finance Director, and the City Manager.

IX. Surplus Supplies and Equipment
All using departments shall submit to the City Manager at such time and in such form as they shall prescribe, reports showing all supplies and equipment that are no longer used or have become obsolete or worn out.

The City Manager shall have the authority to sell all supplies and equipment that any department cannot use or that have become unsuitable for City use or exchange the same for, or trade-in the same on, new supplies and equipment.

The sale of such supplies & equipment shall be made to the highest responsible quotation/bid.

X. Definitions and Special Requirements
Bid Security
On council award procedures, except materials and supplies contracts, each bidder shall be required to submit, with the bid, either by cash, cashier's check, certified check, or Surety Bond, an amount not to exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the bid. This requirement may be waived by the City Manager, on a case-by-case basis, before the initiation of the bid.

Capital (Fixed) Assets Threshold
Capital assets are significant assets with a minimum total acquisition cost of $5,000 and a useful life of at least three years. Typical examples are land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, machinery, equipment, works of art, historical treasures, infrastructure, and various intangible assets. Computer systems, including capital software, are classi ed as xed assets. Furniture and other related durable goods are classi ed as xed assets. Typically, any product, good, project, or piece of equipment that requires formal bidding are xed assets. Assets meeting this definition are to be coded to an account number in the 5300 account code series when acquired.

Continuing Performance
A continuing activity or service that extends over time, not involving solely the delivery of goods or materials.
105
Formal Bid
Written offer, more formal than a quote, to furnish supplies, equipment, vehicles, services in conformity with the specifications, delivery terms, and conditions required at a guaranteed maximum cost.

Lowest Responsible Bidder

Materials
Basic ingredients in a relatively raw, unre ned, or unmanufactured state that may be worked into a more finished form (e.g., sand, wood, asphalt).

Performance Guarantee
All contractors in "continuing performance" service on contracts over $50,000, and all public improvement project contracts over $50,000, are required to submit a performance bond, letter of credit, or cash deposit equivalent to 100% of the contract within 10 working days following award of the Contract, unless specifically exempted or modified by the City Manager or City Attorney.

Professional Services
Professional or specialized services such as, but not limited to, those rendered by architects, attorneys, engineers, technicians, etc.

Public Improvement Project
Speci c, planned undertaking for the creation, improvement and/or repair of buildings and works, including parks and related facilities; the construction and installation of streets, parks, recreation facilities, municipal buildings, and sewers; for the general bene t of the citizenry (e.g., street lights, drains, etc.). 106
Quote
A verbal or written promise from the vendor/contractor guaranteeing the cost of speci c goods, supplies, or services.

Sole Source Purchase
Only one supplier (source), to the best of the requester’s knowledge and belief, based upon thorough research, is capable of delivering the required product or service. Similar types of goods and services may exist, but only one supplier, for reasons of expertise, and/or standardization, quality, compatibility with existing software or equipment, specifications, or availability, is the only source that is acceptable to meet a specific need.

Supplies
Goods in a manufactured state kept in the ordinary course of business for regular use or consumption (e.g., pencils, light bulbs, street signs).

Worker's Compensation Insurance
All contractors engaged in service on behalf of the City are required to maintain Worker's Compensation insurance in accordance with the provisions of the State of California contractor's licensing laws.
107
Exhibit “C”
Appropriations Limit
Fiscal Year 2025

BACKGROUND
The voters of California, during a special election in 1979, approved Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution (also known as Proposition 4, or the “Gann Limit Initiative”), which restricts the total amount of appropriations allowed in any given fiscal year from the “proceeds of taxes”.

In 1980, the State Legislative added Section 9710 to the Government Code that required the governing body of each local agency to establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (or California per Capita Personal Income, if smaller).

The necessary statistical information is provided each year by the California State Department of Finance.

In June 1990, the voters modified the original Article XIII-B (Proposition 4/Gann Limit) with the passage of Proposition 111 and its implementing legislation (California Senate Bill 88). Beginning with the 1990-91 appropriations limit, a City may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the City, and the population growth within the County or the City.

Under Proposition 4, if a city ends the fiscal year having more proceeds of taxes than the Limit allows, it must return the excess to the taxpayers within two years (either by reducing taxes levied or fees charged).

SUBJECT: A Resolution Of The City Of Ridgecrest City Council To Adopt A Road Project List For Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Partially Funded By SB1: The Road Repair And Accountability Act Of 2017
PRESENTED BY: Travis Reed, Public Works Director
SUMMARY:

Senate Bill SB1, “The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017” provided much needed funding for maintaining streets, roads and highways throughout the State of California. One step in becoming eligible to receive these funds each year is for the City of Ridgecrest to adopt by resolution a proposed work plan that will be funded using SB1 funding.

The 2024/2025 work plan is submitted with this resolution. Changes to the work plan are likely but do not revoke eligibility. As long as the City is eligible and the work completed using the funding is within the guidelines, then use of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding will be approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).

Once the resolution is signed and forwarded to the CTC, our submittal will be reviewed and when approved the City will become eligible to receive funds in the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT: In the 2024/2025 fiscal year it is estimated that this funding will provide approximately $713,643.00 to improve our City’s streets.
