(A) Assist Consultant by placing at its disposal all available information pertinent to the projects, including but not limited to, previous reports and any other data relative to the projects.

(D) Give prompt written notice to Consultant whenever City observes or otherwise becomes aware of any defect in a project.

Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, officials, employees, volunteers, and agents from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense, costs (including without limitation costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of work hereunder, including the performance of work of any of Consultant’s subcontractors or agents, or Consultant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in the agreement, except such loss or damage which was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
11. Insurance. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Agreement insurance meeting the requirements specified in Exhibit A hereto.

Consultant shall provide proper facilities to City’s representative(s) for such access and inspection.
13. Non-Assignability.

Exhibit A- Insurance Requirements
Insurance Requirements
Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors.

If the Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City of Salinas requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the Consultant.

For any claims related to this Agreement or the project described within this Agreement, the Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary coverage at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.
Waiver of Subrogation
Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City of Salinas for all work performed by the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.
Self-Insured Retentions

The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.
Acceptability of Insurers

June 2024
Verification of Coverage
Consultant shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable insurance language effecting coverage required by this Agreement.

Subcontractors
Consultant shall require and verify that all sub-consultants and/or subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Consultant shall ensure that Entity is an additional insured on insurance required from such sub-consultants and/or subcontractors.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Cost Estimate to Provide Plan Review, Inspection, and Administration Services - New Logistics Facility [REV 2]
Dear Mr. Gonzalves:
TRB and Associates, Inc. (TRB) is pleased to submit this cost estimate proposal to provide plan review, inspection, and administration services support to the City of Salinas on a proposed new logistics facility project. For this project, TRB has assembled a capable team experienced in construction code compliance technical evaluation and consulting. We are available to discuss this proposal in more detail at your convenience.
We would like to confirm that the scope and fee estimate associated with this proposal is based upon general information received via recent discussions.
KEY PERSONNEL
TRB has a team with strong qualifications and attentiveness to quality and schedule. Of note, all of our proposed key team members proposed have provided plan review and inspection services on projects of similar scope and size. Assigning staff with this familiarity and significant relevant experience and knowledge will ensure that project deliverables will be completed in a timeframe suitable to the City. Please note that an accounting of and resumes for our proposed key individuals are available upon request.
SCOPE OF WORK
Project Understanding
TRB understands that the City is seeking support from a qualified firm to perform a construction code compliance plan review, inspection, and administration of this project. Table 1 below reflects elements and areas of the project understood to be considered in this scope of work. We also understand that construction is expected to start in the Fall 2024 timeframe and be completed in the June 2026 timeframe (approximate 18-month duration).

TBD
It is understood that the project is to be reviewed and inspected for adherence to current California Building Standards Codes covering life safety, disabled access, structural, energy conservation, green building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical provisions; as amended and adopted by the City of Salinas. • California Building Code
• California Plumbing Code
• California Mechanical Code
• California Electrical Code
• California Energy Code
• California Green Building Standards Code
Please note that provisions regulated and enforced by Planning, Engineering, Fire, Public Works, Health Departments; and/or other authorities normally outside the jurisdiction of a municipal Building Department would be considered additional scope items. Services rendered in these disciplines would be considered additional cost items, and would be billed on a Time-and-Materials basis, in accordance with the enclosed Table 3 Fee Schedule.
Project Management / Coordination
Our approach to this engagement is centered on using experienced staff and fostering open communication between our firm, the City, and other project stakeholders, as directed by the City. Shortly after project notice to proceed, we would recommend holding a teleconference with all appropriate stakeholders to verify project expectations, deliverables, scheduling, and logistical considerations. Throughout this engagement, we would like to confirm that our key/lead team members will be accessible to staff. We understand that maintaining clear communication is essential for helping ensure that decisions are made in timely manner. • As part of our approach, we have budgeted time for key staff to attend monthly check-in/coordination meetings with project stakeholders to ensure alignment on code interpretation, staffing and project schedule needs.
TASK 1.0: Code Compliance Plan Review
It is understood that the goal for this task is to provide a thorough code compliance plan review of the project design to ensure adherence to current California Building Standards, as amended and adopted by the City of Salinas. Our proposal covers a total of three cycles of code compliance plan review for the project.
Process / Approach
Plan documents for each structure will be reviewed and a finding issued in punch-list style or electronic format (e.g. ProjectDox, Bluebeam, etc.) of the City’s choosing, identifying elements which may require updating/modification as a result of adopted present-day codes and standards. All findings provided will include specific reference to the source code and/or standards provision(s), as well as justification(s) for each project requirement noted. TRB will maintain complete records related to all plans, calculations, and documents received.
May 23, 2024
City of Salinas
Proposal to Provide Plan Review, Inspection, and Administration Services – New Logistics Facility [REV 2]
We understand that we would be working directly with the City team to ensure that the project is evaluated to all applicable standards. To track and address any issues that may arise during document review, TRB will implement a code interpretation forum between our plan reviewers and the City team to help ensure open communication among project stakeholders is maintained.
We also understand that the timeline for providing review deliverables is yet to be finalized. To confirm, all timeline requirements will be coordinated with the City team. In general, TRB is prepared to review to the following turnaround timeframes:
• Standard Submittals: 15 to 20 working day turnaround for initial review, 10 to 15 working day turnaround for subsequent (resubmittal) reviews.
• Deferred Submittals, RFIs, ECNs and other Revision-Related Submittals: 5 to 10 working day turnround.
Please note that for large/complex deferred and revision-related submittals, extended review timeframes may apply, and would as be mutually agreed upon prior to commencement of review. • Expedited: As an alternate, expedited review timeframes may be accommodated based upon staff availability.
Expedited review timeframes and associated additional cost would be as mutually agreed upon prior to commencement of review.
Deliverables
Our office will present its observations, findings, and opinions/recommendations in a written summary report and/or ProjectDox. The report will itemize reviewed documents relevant to any observations/recommendations made. TRB is prepared to discuss potential recommendations and timeline considerations.
It is presumed that after delivery of each plan review report, a teleconference meeting may be hosted by the City as a forum for project designers to discuss plan review findings. As part of this task, TRB staff will be available to participate in any such teleconference meeting.
Throughout this engagement, TRB staff will be available to answer general follow up questions related to review findings. In the case where the project scope changes significantly or consultation results in review of alternative schemes, TRB will notify the City for approval to proceed on a time-and-materials basis.
Assumptions
• All applicable plans and record documents necessary for review will be furnished by the City. • Separate Permit Submittals associated with the project (e.g. Tenant Improvement, Conveyor System Installation packages, etc.) would be considered additional cost items, and would be billed on a Fixed Fee basis at 45% of the City Plan Review Fee.
• Deferred Submittals, RFIs, ECNs and other Revision-Related Submittals would be considered additional cost items, and would be billed on a Time-and-Materials basis, in accordance with the enclosed Table 3 Fee Schedule. • Expedited Reviews would incur the following additional costs:
o Expedited Separate Permit submittals would be billed on a Fixed Fee basis at 67.5% (45% x 1.5) of the City Plan Review Fee.
o Expedited Deferred Submittals, RFIs, ECNs, and other Revision-Related submittals would be billed on a Time-and-Materials basis at expedited rates, in accordance with the enclosed Table 3 Fee Schedule. • Alternate Materials and Methods Request (AMMR) Evaluations. For other than review of the initial PBDA (Performance Based Design Approach) AMMR submittal document, AMMR evaluations would be considered additional cost items, and would be billed on a Time-and-Materials basis, in accordance with the enclosed Table 3 Fee Schedule.
• TRB Scope excludes fire suppression, grading, drainage, supporting infrastructure and site-work specific elements outside of the building footprints.

TASK 2.0: Building Inspection
It is understood that the goal for this task is to provide a thorough code compliance inspection of the project to ensure adherence to approved plan document and current California Building Standards, as amended and adopted by the City of Salinas. It is also understood that the anticipated construction timeline for the project is 18 months.
Process / Approach / Deliverables
TRB is prepared to provide onsite inspection staffing at the project site once mobilization and/or a notice to proceed is issued by the City. TRB is proposing to furnish two (2) Inspectors onsite five (5) days per week during construction activity on the project. Our field inspectors are prepared to perform all code-mandated inspections as well as those which may be designated specifically by the City, and review change orders / engineering change notices, information requests and similar documentation to verify that any field changes which may have a code implication are reviewed for code compliance by plan review staff as necessary.
Our field inspectors will maintain daily and weekly inspection activity records, and are prepared to take photo documentation only if requested and cleared by the City. Our inspectors will also be available to review the qualifications of and work with Special Inspectors on the project. Our team will review the special inspectors’ daily reports to ensure that all special inspection duties are being fulfilled.
On occasion, additional inspection assistance may be required, particularly when a project is accelerated. Our Project Manager will assess staffing needs and check in with City staff on a regular basis to ensure that an appropriate presence is maintained at the project site.
We understand that in this function, our primary responsibility is to ensure compliance with building codes and standards as adopted by the City. Our team will coordinate with the project applicant team to quickly resolve any open code-related items which may come up through issuance of correction notices, holding discussions with the project team, City, and other applicable stakeholders, as appropriate. We encourage frequent, regularly scheduled check-in discussions with applicant and designer teams as a tool to help ensure alignment on technical and schedule considerations throughout the project.
Inspection Requests
As an option, in coordination with City, we are prepared to issue our “Inspection Request and Holdpoints” handout which details the process for making and fulfilling inspection requests. This includes information on what format requests are made, how much advance notice is required, what type of plan information is required at each inspection location, and expected signoffs prior to project elements being eligible for inspection (such as special inspector signoff).
Onsite Logistical Requirements
TRB is presuming that the following logistical considerations are to be fulfilled by the project owner team:
1. A furnished office / desk location large enough for two (2) persons at or near the project site.
2. Secure high-speed internet access at the project office.
3. Active wireless cell phone signal reception.
4. Access to and/or provisions for bottled water and maintained restroom facilities.
5. Work space to include climate control, both heat and air conditioning.
Assumptions
• 5-days per week primary and secondary inspector coverage (i.e. 2 full-time onsite inspectors). • A project construction duration of 18 months, as measured from date of first inspection to date of passed final inspection.
• Scope excludes fire suppression, grading, drainage, supporting infrastructure and site-work specific elements outside of the building footprint.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: HILDA GARCIA, PW ADMIN SUPERVISOR
TITLE: SETTING PUBLIC HEARING DATES FOR THE LANDSCAPE
AND MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS’ ANNUAL
LEVY
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve Resolutions by the Salinas City Council initiating the proceedings for the annual levy of assessments, declaring its intention to levy and collect an assessment and set a public hearing date for August 6, 2024, and preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Reports for the landscape maintenance districts.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
There are six landscape maintenance assessment districts (LMADs) within the City of Salinas created under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the Act) and adopted locally. The Act allows property owners to assess themselves within a specific area, or “district” to generate funds for various improvements within the district. Assessments are renewed annually, but prior to levying, an Engineer’s Report must be ordered, prepared, and presented at a public hearing. Based on the currently established maintenance district formulas, the FY 24-25 rates are expected to be increased in only one LMAD.
BACKGROUND:
There are six LMADs within the City of Salinas. that were created under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, and adopted locally in Article II, Chapter 21C of the Salinas City Code.
Formation of the District allowed the property owners to assess themselves within a specified area, or “district” to generate funds for installing, maintaining, and servicing public lighting, landscaping, and certain specific improvements in their neighborhood. Annual review and renewal of the assessments is required prior to submitting to the County. Prior to renewal, an Engineer’s Report must be ordered, prepared, and presented at a public hearing.
Any District that was created prior to the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 is a “grandfathered” assessment district. As such it is not subject to the legal requirements of Proposition 218 so long Page | 2
as the assessments remain at rates that are equal to or less than the maximum assessment rates that were in place in 1996.
Staff is not recommending any changes to the formula on how assessments are levied in any of the maintenance districts, therefore, the mailing of ballots is not required. Pursuant to current assessment procedure, direct notices are also not required; however, notices of the public hearings are, and will be published in local newspaper of general circulation and via direct mailings to property owners, following Council’s approval of the proposed scheduled public hearings.
In an effort to increase public outreach, each District’s budget and Engineer’s Report and up-todate costs are published on the City’s website1 on a quarterly basis.
Airport Business Center Maintenance District
Upon formation, the following services were approved to be funded by the Airport Business Center District within its boundaries:
maintenance, repair, replacement and operations for walkways, crosswalks, masonry walls or fences, parkways, embankments, sprinkler systems, and landscaping that lie within the right of way of Moffett St, La Guardia St and Vandenburg St.
A total of 39 parcels are assessed at a rate of $217.49 per acre. Assessment rates were originally set so that revenues were sufficient to fund the maintenance services required at the then prices.
Since the Airport District is “grandfathered” any rate increase would be subject to the legal requirements of Proposition 218. The inability to raise the assessment rate to keep pace with increased expenses has led to a reduction in level of services.
In 2019 Staff met with property owners to discuss a path towards fiscal responsibility. Those in attendance expressed desire to include the city-owned parcels along Moffett Street and change to a different method of spreading assessments. The current formula is based entirely upon acreage and exempts government owned parcels.
North/East Area District
Upon formation, the following services were approved to be funded by the North/East Area District within its boundaries:
maintenance, operation of … any and all public landscaping and irrigation improvements on landscaped medians islands, including the 30-foot-wide park strips of land between the curb and right-of-way, cul-de-sac median landscaping, jogging paths, planter walls public lighting.
In 1999, the District underwent a Prop 218 process, and property owners approved an assessment rate change to include an annual inflation factor tied to the average Engineer’s News Record (ENR) cost index increase for the prior year.
1 https://www.cityofsalinas.org/Your-Government/Find-a-Department/Public-Works/PW-MaintenanceServices/Landscape-Maintenance-Assessment-Districts#section-1 Page | 3
This year, the ENR index for construction increased 2.29% from April 2023 to April 2024. Staff recommends the assessments be increased accordingly.
Mira Monte Maintenance District
Upon formation, the following services were approved to be funded by the Mira Monte Maintenance District within its boundaries:
maintenance, repair, reconstruction, and operation of the landscaping, irrigation systems, and public improvements within said district. Public improvements include curbs, gutters, asphalt street improvements, sidewalks, masonry walls, concrete-paver driveway clusters, parkway strips adjacent to curbs, landscape easements, tot lots, landscaped open space parcels, appurtenant water mains, irrigation systems, public lighting fixtures on all streets and driveway clusters.
A total of 203 parcels are assessed $605 per year. The District’s assessment formula includes an inflationary factor tied to the ENR cost index. Staff does not recommend an increase for the Mira Monte District since enough reserves are available to cover the cost of ongoing maintenance and initiate a capital improvements plan for future years.
Harden Ranch Maintenance District
Upon formation, in 1991, the following services were approved to be funded by the Harden Ranch Maintenance District within its boundaries:
maintenance and operation of and the furnishing of services and materials for street lighting facilities, masonry walls, detention basins, open space areas, landscaping, irrigation systems, bike paths, pedestrian pathways, slope maintenance, graffiti abatement, entry monuments, landscaping which includes trees, shrubs, grass, and other ornamental vegetation, and appurtenant facilities, including irrigation systems and drainage devices Annual assessments in the Harden Ranch Maintenance District as follows:
Single Family Residence Parcels $66.72 per unit
Non-Single Family Residence $353 per acre
Its assessment was set at a rate to cover maintenance costs at the 1991 prices and did not include an inflationary factor. In 1999 the City conducted property owner assessment ballot in accordance with Prop 218 to add an annual escalator based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) but a majority protest was received.
Since then, the levels of maintenance services have been adjusted to meet ongoing demand and to start building reserves for capital improvements. In order to increase the revenue, it would be necessary to restructure the district and hold a mailed ballot protest of the property owners. This effort will be pursued as resources become available.
Vista Nueva Maintenance District
Upon formation, the following services were approved to be funded by the Vista Nueva Maintenance District within its boundaries:
installing and maintaining the telephone/alarm system for the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station; monitoring and maintaining a sanitary sewer pump station twice a week, and a Page | 4
sanitary sewer main four times a year with City forces, or as needed; maintaining street pavement; providing maintenance and power for a new street light system; and maintaining subdivision fence.
At the time the Vista Nueva District was created, a flat $12 increase per year (not to exceed a maximum total assessment of $600 per year) was incorporated in the assessment formula. The maximum assessment of $600 per year was reached eleven years ago when the rate increased from $592 to $600 per year. Therefore, the assessment rate will not increase this year as the annual assessment has reached its cap.
Monte Bella Maintenance District
The Monte Bella Maintenance District provides funding for five distinct types of improvements within the District’s boundaries which are street landscaping; street lighting; parks, open space, and detention basin landscaping; street maintenance; and public improvements. Each type of improvement is budgeted and assessed as a District benefit zone. This District’s assessment formula calls for an inflationary factor to increase the assessments annually by the greater of three percent (3%) or the percentage increase in the CPI (2.4 % from April 2023 to April 2024).
A decrease (10%) was approved 13 years ago because of the slow build-out. Since then, home construction was completed, and Phase 6 was accepted in 2022. Assessments are recommended to remain the same as last year due to the available reserves for long-term capital improvements.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This item relates to the Council’s Strategic Goal of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability. The Strategic Plan can be viewed here [link].
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Public Works Department’s Admin Division and Maintenance Divisions contribute staff time and resources to the day-to-day maintenance and administration of the Districts. Every year in Page | 5
August, Finance and Public Works Departments work cooperatively to prepare and submit the levy to the County for bi-annual collections.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Adopting the proposed resolutions has no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Staff continues to diligently seek out cost saving measures in order to sustain low maintenance costs.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, DIRECTOR
TITLE: AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SALINAS AND R3
CONSULTING GROUP
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution approving Amendment Number 3 to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Salinas and R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) and authorizing the City Manager to enter into the Amendment on behalf of the City and increase the maximum compensation by $51,000 for a not to exceed amount of $150,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On December 14, 2021, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with R3 Consulting Group in the amount of $80,000 for municipal code updates, contract management assistance, rate adjustment review, and on-call support related to solid waste services. (Resolution No. 22770 (N.C.S.) On November 29, 2022, Amendment No. 1 was signed to extend the professional services agreement until June 30, 2024. On May 10, 2024, Amendment No. 2 was signed to add a portion of a Performance Review of Republic Services in the amount of $99,000.
Amendment No. 3 will add the remainder of the Performance Review at an additional cost of $51,000.
BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 2021, the City of Salinas entered into a Collection Services Agreement with Allied Services of North America, LLC dba Republic Services of Salinas (Republic Services). This Agreement updated rate structures, as well as provided a framework for the City to comply with all laws concerning waste handling and diversion (which include AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383).
R3 is intimately familiar with the nuances of the Agreement, having facilitated the City’s negotiations with Republic Services. Additionally, R3 Consulting is a very qualified vendor to assist the City in navigating the implementation of the laws pertaining to solid waste handling as well as the management of the Agreement. R3 solely represents public sector clients and has done Page | 2
extensive research and reporting on solid waste operations in Salinas and Monterey County and are uniquely familiar with these operations. City staff recommends R3 as no other consulting entity is as familiar with the City’s current waste contract, and waste service needs / challenges.
On December 14, 2021, with Resolution No. 22270 the City Council entered into a professional services agreement with R3 Consulting Group for municipal code updates, contract management assistance, rate adjustment review and on-call support related to solid waste services, in the amount of $80,000. The professional services agreement was originally set to expire on December 31, 2022. On November 29, 2022, Amendment No. 1 was signed to extend the completion date to June 30, 2024. The amendment was needed since R3 had not expended all the original contract amount.
There was also a need by City staff to have help with contract management assistance and other solid waste support services. Over the course of the professional services agreement and amendments, R3 has helped staff review the annual rate adjustment submitted to the City by Republic.
At its May 7, 2024, meeting, City Council requested staff to complete a Performance Review of Republic. In order to expedite the Performance Review, Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $99,000 was signed. This Amendment was to provide responses to City Council inquiries before the end of June. The remaining items of the Performance Review will be completed once Amendment No. 3 is signed. The review is expected to be completed by September 2024.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The requested Council action directly relates to Council’s Strategic Plans or Goals of Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Water, Waste and Energy Division in Public Works will coordinate with the City Attorney’s office and the City Manager’s office to review the Performance Review.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding for Amendment No. 3 is available and appropriated in 1000.50.5230 however, Republic will reimburse the City the full cost of the Performance Review. Hence there will be no cost to the general fund once the reimbursement occurs.

SUBJECT: Performance Review of Republic Services
Dear Mr. Jacobs,
R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) is pleased to submit the attached proposal to provide a Performance Review of the Solid Waste Franchise for the City of Salinas (City).
In response to the City’s request, we have created our scope of work and budget for this engagement to specifically address all items (operational performance, franchise agreement compliance, and financial compliance) covered under a standard performance review, as stated in the franchise agreement. It also includes focused assessments on overweight vehicles and staffing dating back to the agreement start date and performance of said staffing through 2023. In addition to the Performance Review, we have included an extra task that involves identifying corrections and clarifications to the franchise agreement (Agreement). as well as potential enhancements to the Agreement and any related negotiations.
Please note: R3 conducted a Performance Review of Republic in 2018 and identified several areas of opportunity for improvement. R3 will use those identified areas as a barometer and provide an update on the status.
Project Team
Ryan Calkins, Director, will serve as Project Lead and primary point of contact for this engagement. He will be directly supported by William Schoen, Sr. Director, as well as Jordan Muratsuchi, Sr. Consultant, Maryann Hulsman, Consultant, and Angela Micheletti, Associate Consultant. Scott Hanin, Principal, will provide additional support and oversight.
* * * * *
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal to the City of Salinas. Should you have any questions regarding our proposal or need any additional information, please feel free to reach out directly.
Sincerely,
Ryan Calkins | Operations Director
R3 Consulting Group, Inc.

1512 Eureka Road, Suite 220, Roseville CA 95661 | p 916.782.7821 | f 916.782.7824 | www.r3cgi.com
BACKGROUND
For purposes of conducting this Performance Review, we have organized our review according to the following four (4) Performance Review components:
1. Contract Compliance and Regulatory Compliance Review (Task 2);
2. Operational Performance Review (Task 3);
3. Analysis of Overweight Vehicle Occurrences and Operations Staffing (Task 4); and
4. Billing/Financial Audit (Task 5).
Intended areas of review may include:
a. Compliance with the terms of all sections of the Franchise Agreement and applicable federal and state laws.
b. Overall organizational structure and management systems and procedures. c. Efficiency of collection operations . including an analysis of routes, schedules, and the impact of franchise requirements; visual inspections of routes before and after collection to evaluate cart placement and cleanliness and condition of streets, sidewalks, and street trees; review of missedpickup records to identify and report statistics of chronically missed customers by customer type and services reviewed; and review of incidental services such as no-charge backyard service, where possible.
d. Process and accuracy of contamination monitoring procedures and outreach effectiveness, including, but not limited to the video monitoring system, site assessments, and corrective action measures.
e. Staffing practices, including the deployment of management and supervisory personnel. f. Financial management practices, including WM’s billing and collection system and its policies with regard to uncollected customer accounts, and review of WM’s monthly, quarterly, and annual reports and of rate adjustment requests for accuracy and completeness. g. Completeness and accuracy of monthly reports of disposal and diversion tonnages and of narrative information in monthly, quarterly, and annual reports (e.g., summaries of complaints and compliments recorded).
h. Employee job and safety training, and management of hazardous waste. i. Procedures for receiving and resolving customer and service recipient complaints and concerns, including the responsiveness of customer service representatives to customer inquiries, requests, and complaints; courteousness of representatives; accuracy of information given; and willingness and ability to resolve complaints.
j. Procedures for the maintenance, safety check, and replacement of equipment. k. Utilization, safety, and suitability of facilities, equipment, and personnel. l. Comparison with practices of businesses deemed similar to those of Republic with respect to operations similar to those required by the Franchise Agreement for jurisdictions similar to the City of Salinas. Republic shall supply adequate information on operations for other jurisdictions that it deems comparable, including, but not limited to, for each category of service rates charged, number of customers, annual revenues line-item costs, and profit.
APPROACH
Our approach to determining Republic’s compliance with its contractual requirements (Task 2) relies heavily on Republic providing documentation supporting its compliance. Requiring Republic to provide supporting documentation serves one of two purposes with respect to each item under review:
▪ If supporting information is available, it provides the basis upon which to assess Republic’s compliance with that particular requirement; or
▪ If supporting information is not available, it identifies the fact that Republic is not monitoring and managing its compliance with a particular contractual requirement. In such cases, that finding can serve as a basis for recommendations for new pro-active contractual reporting requirements to be incorporated into a new or amended agreement.
Our request for supporting documentation from Republic will utilize a Compliance Checklist that identifies various objective contractual requirements and performance standards and associated information requested from Republic in support of their compliance with each applicable requirement.
Our approach to the Operational and Performance Review portion of the project (Task 3) draws heavily upon the hands-on operational experience of R3’s project staff. As noted elsewhere, we will pay particular attention to Republic’s safety and customer service performance. Our onsite observations will begin with Republic’s pretrip inspection process and the morning roll-out of the fleet. We will observe collection operations and assess the effectiveness of the interaction of route supervisors and customer agents with route drivers. Missed collection protocols and performance, and contamination monitoring policies, procedures and performance will be reviewed, along with support functions including public education and outreach and fleet maintenance. We will also review the supporting basis for Republic’s reported diversion rates. As appropriate, recommendations will be made for improving Republic’s performance and/or reporting in support of the City’s ability to more easily and effectively assess Republic’s operational performance on an ongoing basis.
Our Task 4 Analysis of Overweight Vehicle Occurrences and Operations Staffing will assess the extent to which Republic has addressed ongoing issues identified by the City as major areas of concern. That review will begin with a request to Republic to provide a listing of all overweight occurrences since the beginning of the Agreement. The staffing assessment will require that Republic provide an organizational chart that includes at a minimum: employees, date of current title, and date of employment with Republic. Our review of overweight vehicles will provide a trend over time and will also be compared against the findings from the 2018 Performance Review. The staffing analysis will be compared against the contractual obligations of the Agreement.
Our Task 5 Billing/Financial Audit will assess the extent to which Republic is correctly charging the appropriate rate for a given service level and if it is charging for any services or service levels not listed on the City’s approved rate schedule. We will do this through our review of a recent complete residential and commercial billing cycle. That review will begin with a request to Republic to provide a listing of individual customer service levels and monthly rates billed. That information will be compared to the City’s approved rate schedule and an assessment made as to the accuracy and appropriateness of Republic’s billings. We will also review Republic’s handling of delinquent accounts, and level of bad debt. As part of this task, we will also review the most recent rate adjustment request to determine if it is accurate and complies with the requirements of the Agreement. Our review of franchise fee payments will be based on a comparison of those payments to the calculated amounts due the City per Republic’s audited financial statements. This will account for any errors and/or adjustments to the reported revenues that served as the monthly basis for those fee payments.
Our Task 7 Recommend Modifications to Agreement and Negotiation Assistance involves a comprehensive review of the Agreement to correct any errors and ambiguities, and to identify potential changes to existing contract language that may be of benefit to the City. Negotiations may be necessary to incorporate recommended changes to the Agreement.

To structure our review, we will develop a Compliance Checklist that will list the major objective contractual requirements to be assessed as part of the Performance Review, along with requested documentation from Republic supporting its compliance with the applicable requirements.
Task 2.2 - Regulatory Compliance Review
Our review of Republic’s regulatory compliance will include a review of the following:
• OSHA Forms 300 and 300A.
• California Highway Patrol BIT Inspections.
As part of this task, we will also review the status of Republic’s efforts in support of the City’s compliance with SB 1383.
Task 2 Deliverables
• Findings and recommendations for Task 2 to be included in the Task 6 Draft and Final Reports.
Task 3: Operational Performance Review
The Key Questions R3 will seek to answer for the City in regard to Republic’s operational performance include:
• Does Republic’s solid waste collection operation have an effective, documented safety program in place, that prioritizes, enforces, and manages safety for both its employees and the public? • How well does Republic’s solid waste collection operation communicate with, respond to, and satisfy the needs of its residents?
• How efficiently does Republic’s solid waste collection operation utilize its resources to maximize waste collection effectiveness and minimize missed collections? • Is Republic submitting accurate payments to the City, and are City residents being charged appropriately for services received?
• Is Fleet Maintenance effectively maintaining the solid waste collection and support vehicles, conducting the required preventative maintenance within the prescribed schedules, and delivering to collections safe and well-maintained vehicles on a daily basis sufficient to support all daily routes? • How well is the Republic’s solid waste collection operation leveraging current waste-specific technologies to enhance operational safety, customer service, and productivity? In order to provide the City with the answers to the Key Questions above, R3 has developed the following subtasks.
Task 3.1 - Management and Administration Review
This task will provide the City with an assessment of the effectiveness of Republic’s management and administrative systems, and identify potential changes or improvements to management practices, policies, and procedures. This task will include, but is not necessarily limited to, review of the following items:
• Overall organizational structure and management systems and procedures. • Staffing practices, including the deployment of management and supervisory personnel. • Personnel management practices, including compensation policies and the resolution of employee grievances.
• Employee job and safety training, and management of Hazardous Waste. • Utilization of management and facilities, equipment, and personnel. • Staffing ratios, including the ratio of customers to management staff, supervisors, dispatchers, drivers, maintenance personnel, customer service and billing representatives, etc. • Data tracking and reporting procedures, including what data is continuously tracked and how data are used to manage the collection operations.
• Employee management policies and procedures.
In conducting this task, we will meet with management and supervisors of Republic and review the structure and staffing of their management and administrative systems and operations. We will also interview various frontline staff. Policies and procedures will be reviewed with a focus on how those policies and procedures are implemented and the associated training that is provided to staff. We will also review if and what performance benchmarks have been established and the historical performance relative to those benchmarks.
Systems for collecting and reporting data will also be reviewed. As part of that process, we will request and review all management reports that are regularly produced, identify who receives that data, how it is used, and to what extent Republic conducts diagnostic reviews based on that data to identify areas that need improvement. We will also review management’s business planning processes, and if and how Republic establishes and executes operational and other priorities.
Task 3.2 - Collection Operations Review
As part of this task, we will provide the City with an assessment of the effectiveness of Republic’s collection operations and determine if Republic has an effective driver training program and if they have a reasonable number of route supervisors. Additionally, we will gauge the effectiveness of route supervision, if Republic is actively monitoring driver performance, and whether drivers are providing collection services in a safe and effective manner and adhering to the associated requirements of the Agreement. This will also tie to Task 3.4.
This task may include, but is not necessarily limited to, a review of the following items:
• Review of the efficiency of collection operations, including an analysis of routes, schedules, and the impact of Franchise requirements.
• Field observations/route audits of Republic’s residential collection services, including driver start and end times and a visual inspection of residential routes before and after collection to evaluate cart placement, correlation of billing records to containers on-site, cleanliness of streets, and physical condition of streets and sidewalks.
• Field observations/route audits of Republic’s commercial collection services, including driver start and end times and a visual inspection of commercial routes before and after collection to evaluate bin placement, correlation of billing records to containers on-site, cleanliness of streets, and physical condition of streets and sidewalks.
• Review of missed pickup records.
• Review of incidental services.
• Review of worker training program(s).
• Review of supervisor roles and responsibilities.
• Review the current route to supervisor ratio.
• Review of vehicle load weights and procedures for tracking and addressing overloaded vehicles.
Our Collection Operations Review will start by reviewing the vehicle and crew configurations used to provide franchised services, the schedules for those services, and the macro-routing and micro-routing structures. We will also assess the overall collection system productivity and the basis for establishing daily productivity targets.
The systems for communication between route drivers and customer service representatives will also be reviewed, including what, if any, on-board computer systems are being used. The interviews and interactions with Republic route supervisors that are initiated as part of our Initial Review will be continued as part of this task. Driver interviews may also be conducted.
Task 3.3 - Customer Service Review and Financial Management Practices Review This task will cover the following items:
• Financial Management practices, including the Contractor’s billing and collection system, and its policies regarding uncollected Customer accounts.
• Procedures for receiving and resolving Customer and Service Recipient complaints and concerns.
R3 will review the current customer service functions and structure utilized by Republic, and their financial management practices specific to Republic’s billing and collection system, and its policies with regards to uncollected customer accounts. This will include the protocol for addressing customer complaints, and service interruption procedures. Complaint logs will be reviewed and classified into complaint categories, if not already delineated, and missed-pickup records will be reviewed to identify and report statistics of chronically missed customers by customer type and service rendered.
We will also review the responsiveness of Republic’s customer service representatives to customer inquiries, requests and complaints, average telephone response times, courteousness of representatives, accuracy of information given, and willingness and ability to resolve complaints where applicable.
As part of this task, R3 will conduct separate interviews with customer service and billing staff. During these interviews, we may review the internal organizational processes for the following customer service and billing functions:
• Data exchange and communication between customer service, routing, marketing/sales, billing, and operations.
• Responding to calls from residential and commercial customers regarding inquiries for new service. • Establishing new customer accounts in the billing system. • Coordinating delivery of refuse and recycling bins or carts. • Establishing service level and collection frequency for new accounts. • Establishing start-dates and service initiation for new accounts. • Establishing end-dates and service termination for closing accounts. • The processes and procedures for addressing customer complaints and calls, including missed collection, broken or stolen carts, etc.
• How special billing arrangements for non-standard services are completed. • Resolving delinquent payment (uncollected) Customer accounts. • Resolving billing inquiries and complaints.
• Generating and updating route lists.
• Processing and closing work orders in the customer service system. • Tracking of bin placement by number and address.
• Confirming delivery of bins, or carts.
Task 3.4 - Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance, Repair and Replacement Review The primary objective of this task is to determine if Republic maintains vehicles and equipment in a safe operating condition.
The vehicle and equipment maintenance, repair and replacement review may include, but is not necessarily limited to the following tasks:
• Procedures for the acquisition, maintenance, safety check, and replacement of equipment. • Review routine maintenance procedures and schedules for residential collection and commercial collection vehicles.
• Review of utilization, safety, and suitability of facilities, and equipment. • Review of procedures for maintenance, safety check, and replacement of equipment. • Review pre- and post-trip inspection practices, and communication between drivers, dispatchers and maintenance personnel.
• Review historical BIT results.
• Review any established performance benchmarks and performance relative to those benchmarks such as the following, and: Required Preventative Maintenance services completed within ten percent (10%) of the due date miles.
• Fleet availability percentage.
• Assessing the general appearance of Republic’s fleet.
Our review of Republic’s vehicle maintenance functions will be conducted through both a review of available information and on-site field work. One of the first things we will do is establish the reasonableness of the level of maintenance staffing, and the scheduling of maintenance functions (e.g., single-shift, swing shift). We will also interview maintenance management and document existing performance standards (benchmarks), the process for tracking performance against those standards, and historical performance.
Task 3.5 - Assessment of Performance Monitoring and Benchmarking Systems This task will include addressing the following items:
• Comparison with practices and businesses deemed similar to the Contractor. • Assessing the performance benchmarking systems Republic has in place for monitoring and improving performance.
“That which is not measured is not managed” is an adage that R3 has found to be very applicable to solid waste operations. Establishing contractual baseline requirements and internal performance benchmarks, measuring progress against those benchmarks and conducting associated diagnostic review to identify opportunities for improvement is one of the foundations of an effective management system. Republic has embraced “management by metrics” to various degrees at a corporate level and within its individual operating Divisions.
Republic also has its Focus 6safety training program.
As part of our review, and in support of comparing Republic’s practices and performance with similar businesses, we will, based on information provided by Republic, document their existing safety, customer service, and performance benchmarking systems, and their current and historical performance relative to those benchmarks.
Based on the information provided, and additional information gathered as part of our review, we will develop a comparison of the current performance of Republic to:
• Their internal historical performance.
• Established corporate benchmarks, to the degree able. • Their performance relative to industry standards, and other operations to the extent that information is available.
As part of this task, we will also review the information provided by Republic in support of the following requirement:
Comparison with practices of businesses deemed similar to those of Republic with respect to operations similar to those required by the Franchise Agreement for jurisdictions similar to the City of Salinas. Republic shall supply adequate information on operations for other jurisdictions that it deems comparable, including, but not limited to, for each category of service rates charged, number of customers, annual revenues line-item costs, and profit.
Task 3 Deliverables
• Findings and recommendations for Task 3 to be included in the Task 6 Draft and Final Reports.
Task 4: Analysis of Overweight Vehicle Occurrences and Operations Staffing As part of our review we will pay particular attention to overweight vehicles and staffing of the operation.
Key Questions R3 will seek to answer for the City include:
• Has Republic shown measured improvement in the number of overweight vehicle occurrences since the inception of the Agreement?
• Does Republic have an effective system in place to combat overweight vehicle occurrences, and are such occurrences being properly monitored and managed?
• Is Republic operating at a staffing capacity in accordance with Agreement requirements and expectations of the City?
Task 4 Deliverables
• Findings and recommendations for Task 4 to be included in the Task 6 Draft and Final Reports.
Task 5: Billing Review and Financial Assessment
Our Billing Review and Financial Assessment is designed to address the following:
Billing Review: To determine if Republic is correctly billing customers for the associated service level, and only billing customers for services and services approved by the City as documented in the City’s approved rate schedule.
Financial Assessment: To determine if Republic has paid the correct franchise fee amount based on financial statement revenues and franchise fee payments.
Calculation of Customer Rates: To determine if current customer rates have been correctly calculated and correctly applied to the then current approved rate schedule.
R3 anticipates that Republic will provide access to all required financial and operational records, including annual and quarterly reports. In the event that access to the records is not granted, or the records are unavailable, the testing protocol will be modified to include those records that are available.
Task 5.1 - Billing Review
The purpose of the Billing Review is to determine the extent to which residential and commercial subscribers are billed correctly for the level of service provided, and whether billings are consistent with the appropriate rate schedule.
The Billing Review will include the following items:
• A review of service levels and charges from a recent billing cycle to determine if the rates charged for the various service levels are consistent with the approved rate schedule; and • A review of a recent billing cycle to determine if all rates charged have been approved (e.g., are there any charges that are billed but are not listed on the approved rate schedule such as finance charges, push/pull charges, etc.).
To conduct our review, R3 requests that Republic provide an Excel file containing a complete billing cycle that covers all residential and commercial accounts. That file shall include each residential and commercial account sorted by service level such that all similar service levels (e.g., 32, 64 96-gallon cart service, 1-yard 1 time per week) are listed together along with the associated monthly rate, such that the rates charged for each service level can be easily compared to the associated approved rate. R3 will request explanations from Republic for any identified discrepancies.
At the conclusion of our review, R3 will determine the level of accuracy of Republic’s subscriber billing system, and formulate suggestions, as appropriate, to improve the accuracy of the system. As part of this task, R3 will review Republic’s polices with respect to uncollected accounts.
Task 5.2 – Review of Franchise Fee Payments
Our review of franchise fee payments will involve a comparison of franchise fee payments for each year to the calculated payments due based on franchise fee payments and gross revenues as reported in the financial statements. Tying franchise fee analyses to financial statements provides a level of review that accounts for any errors associated with individual monthly franchise fee payments, as well as any revenue adjustments that may have occurred after those payments were made.
Task 5.3 – Review of 2023 Rate Adjustment Calculation
R3 will review Republic’s 2023 Rate Adjustment Request and provide an assessment as to its mathematical accuracy and conformance with the associated franchise fee requirements.
Notes:
▪ Our ability to fully assess the accuracy of the Rate Adjustment Calculation is contingent upon the availability of an Excel file with all relevant calculations, formulas, and supporting documentation. ▪ Our project budget does not account for the review of Republic’s annual rate adjustment requests prior to 2023, although we could do so on a time and materials basis if requested by the City.
Task 5 Deliverables
• Review and testing of Republic’s financial records.
• Route audits to verify the service level at specific addresses included in the test group (conducted as part of Task 5.1).
• Review of customer rate calculations.
• Results of the Billing Audit and Financial Assessment.
Task 6: Draft and Final Reports
Task 6.1 - Preliminary Findings
Upon completion of Tasks 2, 3, 4, and 5, R3 recommends that we present our preliminary findings to Republic for their review. This step is undertaken to ensure that we have not misinterpreted any of the information that has been provided. Based on comments received from Republic, we will make any appropriate adjustments to our findings prior to presenting our Draft Report.
Task 6.2 - Draft Report
R3 will prepare an electronic Draft Report in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats that incorporate the work performed in Tasks 1 through 5.
R3 anticipates that the Draft Report will include the following sections:
• Executive Summary.
• Introduction.
• Methodology.
• Findings and Recommendations.
Task 6.3 - Final Report
Based on written or verbal comments from City staff on the Draft Report, R3 will prepare and submit a Final Report to the City in an electronic PDF format.
Task 6 Deliverables
• Electronic copy of the Draft Report (Word and PDF).
• Electronic copy of the Final Report (PDF).
Limitations
Our ability to conduct the contract compliance portion of our Scope of Work is dependent in large part on Republic providing documentation supporting their compliance with various contractual requirements for our review. That information needs to be available in a form that will enable us to effectively assess their compliance. Additionally, given the requirement that the review covers all fiscal years dating back to the Agreement start date, supporting documentation needs to be provided for each of those years. Should any information necessary for us to effectively assess Republic’s compliance not be provided to us in our requested format at the time of our onsite review or is not provided for each of the years reviewed, we will notify the City accordingly and note any such limitations to our ability to assess its compliance with any associated requirement in our Task 6 reports.
Task 7: Recommend Modifications to Current Agreement and Negotiation Assistance R3 will conduct a thorough review of the current agreement to identify any areas that require correction. This will include correcting references, definitions, and language, and clarifying language, as appropriate. We will also provide the City with recommendations for additional quarterly reporting, including proactive reporting by Republic of its performance specific to all objective requirements for which liquidated damages apply. We will also identify additional changes to the Agreement language that may be of benefit to the City, and assist the City with negotiating any such potential changes with Republic, as applicable.
Task 7 Deliverables
• Electronic Memo presenting recommended corrections to the Agreement, clarifying language and potential enhancements to be negotiated.
• Negotiation Assistance.
SCHEDULE
R3 proposes to issue our draft report to the City within 120 days of authorization to proceed, assuming Republic’s full cooperation. Our Final Report will then be issued within two weeks of receipt of the City’s comments. R3 will issue our Task 7 Electronic Memo along with our Draft Report, and then provide negotiation assistance to the City as directed.
COST
R3 will complete our scope of work for a fixed fee amount of $150,000. The project cost includes labor, travel, and project expenses, and includes the work and deliverables, as listed in Tasks 1 – 7. R3 will bill the City monthly on a percentage completion basis, with 10% of the total project budget withheld pending project completion.
It should be noted that R3’s work would be directed by the City and not Republic, and all reports, memos, work products, etc. would be provided to the City and not Republic. However, Republic will be provided a copy of our Preliminary Findings for review to ensure that described operational processes and procedures are depicted accurately.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PE, PLS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: GARY GABRIEL, WASTEWATER MANAGER
TITLE: INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
EMERGENCY PUMP REPAIR AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution ratifying the emergency agreement with Industrial Machine Shop for emergency pump repairs at the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility in an amount not to exceed $42,145, which includes a 5% contingency.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This emergency repair of the influent pump station pump system is critical to continued movement of industry agricultural wastewater that is discharged to the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTF) 24 hours a day. The repair is essential for health and safety operations of continued pumping of wastewater from the industries to prevent an industry process water overflow from the system or facility. The Interim City Manager approved the contract with Industrial Machine Shop to complete the repairs on an emergency basis.
BACKGROUND:
The Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility is a unique system separate from the sanitary sewer and the stormwater systems within the City of Salinas. The IWTF processes and treats annually 700 to 900 million gallons of agricultural wastewater discharged by twenty-four (24) permitted industrial users through this dedicated system. The Wastewater Division of Public Works oversees operations and maintenance of the nearly 200-acre facility. Inspections and maintenance are performed daily to keep the facility functioning and processing theses flows that are received from the industries 24 hours per day 7 days per week.
The IWTF is regulated under a waste discharge requirement (WDR) permit administered by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and overseen by the Central Coast Waterboard to maintain the facility as prescribed in the permit.
Page | 2
The influent pump station is a critical component of the process and treatment of the generated wastewater. The pump station is comprised of 3 pumps which are used on a rotating basis, unless the flows are high then all three pumps are needed to move the water. This repair is needed to continue the treatment process without any potential delays or down time.
Industrial Machine Shop was contacted to perform the emergency repair to the pump. Industrial Machine Shop was contacted because they have completed other pump repairs at the IWTF, they were available right away, and they are local. Another pump repair business out of Watsonville was contacted, but they could not give the City a quote without a site visit which was going to add additional down time to the pump.
To date Industrial Machine Shop has pulled the pump from the lift station, transported it to their shop, and is currently working on the pump. The 5% contingency is needed in case any unforeseen issues arise during the tear down and rebuilding of the pump.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This project compliments and supports the City Council goal areas of Safe, Livable Community, Excellent Infrastructure, and Quality of Life.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works Wastewater Division worked closely with Public Works Admin and Maintenance Divisions in preparation of the agreement and with the Finance Division to ensure sufficient funds are available.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding is available and appropriated in CIP 9794 IWTF Facility Repairs. There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund since monies for the repair are from the Industrial Waste Enterprise Fund.

I. Introduction
1. Background
The Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a competitive statewide program created to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking.
Senate Bill 99 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 359, Statutes of 2013) and Assembly Bill 101 (Committee on Budget, Chapter 354, Statutes of 2013) created the ATP, and Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) directs additional funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to the ATP.
These guidelines describe the policy, standards, criteria, and procedures for the development, adoption, and management of the ATP. The guidelines were developed in consultation with the ATP workgroup. The workgroup includes representatives from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), other government agencies, and active transportation stakeholder organizations with expertise in pedestrian and bicycle issues, including Safe Routes to School programs.
The California Transportation Commission (Commission) may amend the ATP guidelines after conducting at least one public hearing. The Commission must make a reasonable effort to amend the guidelines prior to a call for projects or may extend the deadline for project submission to comply with the amended guidelines.
2. Program Purpose and Goals
Pursuant to statute, the purpose of the program is to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. The goals of the ATP are to:
• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking. • Increase the safety and mobility of nonmotorized users. • Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals as established pursuant to Senate Bill 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) and Senate Bill 391 (Chapter 585, Statutes of 2009).
• Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity through the use of programs including, but not limited to, projects eligible for Safe Routes to School Program funding.
• Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program.
• Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.
In addition to the goals listed in statute, the ATP will also consider state goals and provisions set forth in the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI).

California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
2 II. Funding Overview
4. Funding Source
ATP is funded from various federal and state funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act:
• 100% of the federal Transportation Alternative Program funds, except for federal Recreation Trail Program funds appropriated to the Department of Parks and Recreation.
• $21 million of federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds or other federal funds
• State Highway Account funds.
• Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (SB 1) funds.
In addition to furthering the purpose and goals of this program, all ATP projects must meet eligibility requirements specific to at least one ATP funding source.
5. Programming Cycle
Each ATP programming cycle includes four years of funding. New programming capacity for the 2025 ATP will be for state fiscal years 2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29.
6. Distribution
State and federal law segregate the ATP into multiple, overlapping components. The ATP Fund Estimate must indicate the funds available for each of the program components. Consistent with these requirements, the ATP funds must be distributed as follows:
1) Forty percent to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) in urban areas with populations greater than 200,000.
o These funds must be distributed based on total MPO population. The funds programmed and allocated under this paragraph must be selected through a competitive process by the MPOs in accordance with these guidelines. o Projects selected by MPOs may be in large urban, small urban, or rural areas. o A minimum of 25% of the funds distributed to each MPO must benefit disadvantaged communities.
o The following statutory requirements apply specifically to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG):
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
3 SCAG must consult with county transportation commissions, the Commission, and Caltrans in the development of competitive project selection criteria.
The criteria used by SCAG should include consideration of geographic equity, consistent with program objectives.
SCAG must place priority on projects that are consistent with plans adopted by local and regional governments within the county where the project is located.
SCAG must obtain concurrence from the county transportation commissions.
2) Ten percent to small urban and rural areas with populations of 200,000 or less.
Projects are competitively awarded by the Commission in these regions. Federal law segregates the Transportation Alternative Program into separate small urban and rural competitions based on their relative share of the state population. o Small urban areas are those with populations of 5,001 to 200,000. Rural areas are those with populations of 5,000 or less.
o A minimum of 25% of the funds in the Small Urban and Rural programs must benefit disadvantaged communities.
o If a project is eligible for the MPO component, it cannot be eligible for funding in the Small Urban and Rural component.
3) Fifty percent to projects competitively awarded by the Commission on a statewide basis.
o A minimum of 25% of the funds in the statewide competitive program must benefit disadvantaged communities.
o A portion of statewide component funding is used to fund the Active Transportation Resource Center, which is administered by Caltrans and provides statewide technical assistance and support to all current and potential ATP applicants. Procedures for the programming, allocation, and management of ATRC funds are included in Appendix F. Typical Active Transportation Resource Center activities include:
Providing technical assistance, training, resources, and tools to help agencies, especially those in disadvantaged communities, deliver existing and future projects and to strengthen community involvement in future projects.
7. Matching Requirement
The Commission does not require a funding match for ATP. Large MPOs, in administering a competitive selection process, may require a funding match for projects selected through their competitive process.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
4 8. Leveraging Funds
The Commission encourages the leveraging of additional funds for a project by considering leveraging in the evaluation criteria for medium and large infrastructure projects. Leveraged funds are a financial commitment toward the cost of a project from a different funding source. However, applicants are not required to leverage funds.
The Commission will only consider cash funds for leveraging. Funds expended by the local agency for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), and Right-of-Way (R/W) phases will be considered for leveraging even if the funds were expended before the application deadline. Funds expended for ineligible costs and activities (i.e., non-participating funds) are not considered leveraging.
Except for State Transportation Improvement Program funding, the Commission will only consider funds that are not allocated by the Commission on a project-specific basis as eligible funds for leveraging points. The Commission will not consider in-kind, noninfrastructure, staff time, or non-participating funds as eligible for leveraging.
Tribes typically have limited access to other transportation funds that can be used for leveraging. Therefore, applications for the 2025 ATP submitted by Tribal Governments (federally recognized Native American Tribes) and projects within federally recognized Tribal Lands (typically within the boundaries of a Reservation or Rancheria) will be awarded full leveraging points on the corresponding application type.
Applicants must provide a complete (phase-by-phase) project funding plan through construction that demonstrates that the ATP and leveraged funding in the plan (local, federal, state, and private sources) is reasonably expected to be available and sufficient to complete the project. Additionally, applicants must attach a signed letter of commitment indicating the amounts and sources of leveraged funds. The letter of commitment must be signed by the Chief Executive Officer or other officer authorized by the applicant’s governing board. Applicants without a signed letter of commitment will not receive leveraging points. Applicants may also include other documentation to substantiate leveraging, including meeting minutes from a governing body, a budget sheet, a board or council resolution, etc.
9. Funding for Active Transportation Plans in Disadvantaged Communities Funding from the ATP may be used to fund the development of community-wide active transportation plans, including bicycle, pedestrian, safe routes to schools, or comprehensive active transportation plans. All plans must be within a disadvantaged community or, for area-wide plans, encompass at least one disadvantaged community.
A list of the components that must be included in an active transportation plan can be found in Appendix A.
The Commission intends to set aside up to 2% of the funds in the statewide and small urban and rural competitive components for funding active transportation plans in California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
5 predominantly disadvantaged communities. In administering its portion of the program, a large MPO may make up to 2% of its funding available for active transportation plans in disadvantaged communities within the MPO boundaries.
10. Reimbursement
The ATP is a reimbursement program for eligible costs incurred. For an item to be eligible for ATP reimbursement, that item’s primary use or function must meet the ATP purpose and at least one of the ATP goals. Reimbursement is requested through the invoice process detailed in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 5, Invoicing. Costs incurred prior to Commission allocation and, for federally funded projects, Federal Highway Administration project approval (i.e., Authorization to Proceed), are not eligible for reimbursement.
III. Eligibility
11. Eligible Applicants
The following entities within the State of California are eligible to apply for ATP funds:
1) Local, Regional, or State Agencies. Examples include city, county, MPO*, and Regional Transportation Planning Agency.
2) Caltrans.*
o Caltrans-nominated projects must be coordinated and aligned with local and regional priorities. Caltrans is required to submit documentation that local communities are supportive of and have provided feedback on the proposed Caltrans ATP project.
o Caltrans must submit documentation to support the need to address the project with ATP funds, rather than other available funding sources, such as the State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP). 3) Transit Agencies. Any agency responsible for public transportation that is eligible for funds under the Federal Transit Administration.
4) Natural Resources or Public Land Agencies. Federal, Tribal, State, or local agency responsible for natural resources or public land administration. Examples include:
o State or local park or forest agencies.
o State or local fish and game or wildlife agencies.
o Department of the Interior Land Management agencies.
o U.S. Forest Service.
5) Public schools or school districts.
6) Tribal Governments – federally recognized Native American Tribes.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
6 o Tribal governments that are awarded funding have several options for contracting, such as a fund transfer to a federal agency or partnering with another eligible entity. Caltrans will work with Tribal governments to determine a Tribe’s preferred contracting option.
7) Private nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations that are responsible for the management of public lands may only apply with projects eligible for Recreational Trails Program funds. Eligible project types include recreational trails and trailheads, park projects that facilitate trail linkages or connectivity to nonmotorized corridors, and conversion of abandoned railroad corridors to trails.
Projects must benefit the general public, not only a private entity. 8) Any other entity with responsibility for oversight of transportation or recreational trails that the Commission determines to be eligible. Eligibility should be established with Commission staff before the application deadline. * Caltrans and MPOs, except for MPOs that are also regional transportation planning agencies, are not eligible project applicants for the federal Transportation Alternative Program funds appropriated to ATP. Therefore, funding awarded to projects submitted directly by Caltrans and MPOs is limited to other ATP funds. Caltrans and MPOs may partner with an eligible entity to expand funding opportunities.
12. Partnering with Implementing Agencies
Applicants and/or implementing agencies must be able to comply with all the federal and state laws, regulations, policies, and procedures required to enter into a Local Administering Agency-State Master Agreement (Master Agreement). Refer to the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 4, Agreements, for guidance and procedures on Master Agreements. The Commission requires project Baseline Agreements (see Section 28) for ATP projects with a total project cost (all funds) of $25 million or greater or a total programmed amount of $10 million or greater of ATP funds.
Eligible applicants that are unable to apply for ATP funds or that are unable to enter into a Master Agreement with the State must partner with an eligible applicant that can implement the project. In addition, eligible applicants that are unfamiliar with the requirements to administer a Federal-Aid Highway Program project are encouraged to partner with an eligible applicant that can implement the project.
If another entity agrees to be the implementing agency and assume responsibility for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility, documentation of the agreement (e.g., letter of intent) must be submitted with the project application, and a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding or Interagency Agreement between the parties must be submitted with the first request for allocation. The implementing agency will be responsible and accountable for the use and expenditure of program funds.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
7 13. Eligible Projects
All projects eligible for programming must be selected through a competitive process and must meet one or more of the ATP goals. See Appendix B for example projects.
The Commission encourages applicants to apply for projects that provide a transformative benefit to a community or a region. The Commission hopes to fund one or more large transformative projects that significantly expand the active transportation opportunities in a community or a region.
1) Infrastructure Projects: Capital projects that will further the goals of the ATP. This typically includes the environmental, design, right-of-way, and construction phases of a capital (facilities) project. A new infrastructure project will not be programmed without a complete Project Study Report (PSR) or PSR equivalent. • The application will be considered a PSR equivalent if it defines and justifies the project scope, cost, and schedule. Though the PSR or equivalent may focus on the project phases proposed for programming, it must provide at least a preliminary estimate of costs for all phases. PSR guidelines are posted on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) page of the Commission’s website under “Background Information.” Feasibility studies are not considered PSR equivalent documents.
• Further guidance can be found in the Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual.
• The Commission expects collaboration and cooperation between the implementing agency and Caltrans for all projects on the state highway system. Applicants who are applying for projects on the state highway system should attach a completed State Highway System Project Impact Assessment Form to the application. This form can be obtained from the Caltrans 2025 Active Transportation Program website.
2) Plans: The development of a community-wide bicycle, pedestrian, safe routes to school, or active transportation plan that encompasses or is predominately located in a disadvantaged community. See Appendix A for Plan Project Guidance.
• The first priority for the funding of plans will be for eligible applicants that have neither a bicycle plan, a pedestrian plan, a safe routes to schools plan, nor a comprehensive active transportation plan.
• The second priority for the funding of plans will be for eligible applicants that have a bicycle plan, pedestrian plan, or safe routes to school plan, but not all.
• The third priority for the funding of plans will be for updates to an active transportation plan that is more than five years old.
• The lowest priority for the funding of plans will be for updates to an active transportation plan that is five years old or less.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
8 3) Non-infrastructure (NI) Projects: Education and encouragement programs that further the goals of the ATP. See Appendix B for example NI activities. • NI projects are not limited to those benefiting school students. • NI projects can be start-up programs or new components of existing programs.
• The Commission intends to focus NI funding on start-up projects. A project is considered to be a start-up when no program currently exists. • A project with components added to an existing program must demonstrate how the original program is continuing without ATP funding. • All NI projects must demonstrate how the program is sustainable and will be continued after ATP funding is exhausted.
• ATP cannot fund existing or ongoing program operations. 4) Infrastructure projects with non-infrastructure components: These are capital projects with education or encouragement components. The non-infrastructure component should be mentioned throughout the application and enhance the infrastructure project. When the non-infrastructure component is dependent on the infrastructure project, and its implementation must occur after the completion of the infrastructure project, the project schedule and project programming request must clearly reflect the sequential delivery of both components. 5) Quick-Build Projects: The Commission will consider a small number of quickbuild projects for the 2025 ATP. Quick-build projects are interim capital infrastructure projects that further the goals of the ATP. These projects require construction, and are built with durable, low to moderate cost materials but last from one year to five years. See Appendix D for additional details.
14. Eligibility Screening Criteria
Applications will receive an initial screening by the Commission for completeness and eligibility, before being evaluated. Incomplete or ineligible applications will not be evaluated. Before evaluation, project applications will be screened for the following:
• Consistency with an adopted regional transportation plan. • Use of appropriate application.
• Supplanting funds: a project that is already fully funded will not be considered for funding in the ATP. ATP funds cannot be used to supplant other committed funds. • Eligibility of project: the project must be one of the five types of projects listed in Section 13 of these guidelines.
• With the exceptions outlined in Section 26 and applicants using the large infrastructure application, an applicant applying for pre-construction phases must also apply for funding in the construction phase.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
9 • Request of at least the minimum request amount as outlined in Section 15 of these guidelines.
• Projects that are already fully funded or projects that are a capital improvement required as a condition for private development approval or permits are not eligible for ATP funding.
• A project applicant found to have purposefully misrepresented information that could affect a project’s score may result in the applicant being excluded from the program for the current cycle and the following cycle.
Projects that are screened out because of the above-listed criteria will not be considered eligible for the ATP and will not be evaluated or given a score. Applicants with projects that are screened out will be notified as soon as non-eligibility has been determined.
15. Minimum Request for Funds
To maximize the effectiveness of program funds and to encourage the aggregation of small projects into one larger comprehensive project, the minimum request for ATP funds that will be considered is $250,000. This minimum does not apply to noninfrastructure projects, safe routes to school projects, recreational trail projects, plans, and quick-build program projects.
MPOs, in administering a competitive selection process, may use a different minimum funding size. Use of a minimum funding request amount greater than $500,000 must be approved by the Commission prior to the MPO’s call for projects.
16. Justice40 Initiative
The Biden-Harris Administration created the Justice40 Initiative under Executive Order 14008 to confront and address decades of underinvestment in disadvantaged communities. The Initiative will bring resources to communities most impacted by climate change, pollution, and environmental hazards. Justice40 is an opportunity to address gaps in transportation infrastructure and public services by working toward the goal that at least 40% of federal investments benefit disadvantaged communities.
At least 40% of federal funds programmed in the Active Transportation Program must benefit communities identified as disadvantaged in the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) or the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer.
Applicants are required to provide census tract numbers for the project area as part of the application. Commission staff will determine whether a project meets Justice40 eligibility requirements using the CEJST and the ETC Explorer.
The 40% threshold applies to all federal funds in the program and may be higher or lower in individual components.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
10 17. Project Type Requirements
SB 99 specifies that at least 25% of funds must benefit disadvantaged communities within each of the program components. However, the ATP also includes other project types that must meet certain requirements. Below is an explanation of the requirements specific to the project types listed in SB 99.
A. Disadvantaged Communities
For a project to contribute toward the disadvantaged communities funding requirement, the project must clearly demonstrate, with verifiable information, a direct, meaningful, and assured benefit to a disadvantaged community as defined using the criteria outlined below. A project is considered beneficial if it fulfills an important need of a disadvantaged community in a way that provides significant value. The project’s benefits must primarily target a disadvantaged community while avoiding substantial burdens on that community.
MPOs, in administering a competitive selection process, may use different criteria for determining which projects benefit disadvantaged communities if the criteria are approved by the Commission prior to an MPO’s call for projects.
It is incumbent upon the applicant to clearly articulate how the project benefits the disadvantaged community; there is no presumption of benefit, even for projects located within a disadvantaged community. For a project to qualify as directly benefiting a disadvantaged community, the project must:
• Be located within, or be within reasonable proximity to, the disadvantaged community served by the project,
• Have a direct connection to the disadvantaged community, or • Be an extension or a segment of a larger project that connects to or is directly adjacent to the disadvantaged community.
To qualify as a disadvantaged community, the community served by the project must meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Median Household Income: (Table ID B19013) is less than 80% of the statewide median based on the most current Census Tract (ID 140) level data from the 2018-2022 American Community Survey (<$73,524). Communities with a population of less than 15,000 may use data at the Census Block Group (ID 150) level. Unincorporated communities may use data at the Census Place (ID 160) level. Data is available at the United States Census Bureau Website. • CalEnviroScreen: An area identified as among the most disadvantaged 25% in the state according to the CalEPA and based on the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool 4.0 (CalEnviroScreen 4.0) scores (score must be greater than or equal to 40.05). The mapping tool can be found here, and the list can be found under “SB 535 List of Disadvantaged Communities”.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
11 • National School Lunch Program: At least 75% of public school students in the project area are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program for the 2022-2023 school year. Data is available at the California Department of Education website. Applicants using this measure must indicate how the project benefits the school students in the project area. The project must be located within two miles of the school(s) represented by this criteria.
• Healthy Places Index: The Healthy Places Index includes a composite score for each census tract in the State. The higher the score, the healthier the community conditions based on 25 community characteristics. The scores are then converted to a percentile to compare it to other tracts in the State. A census tract must be in the 25th percentile or less to qualify as a disadvantaged community. The live map and the direct data can both be found on the California Healthy Places Index website.
• Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool: A census tract identified as disadvantaged in at least one of the tool’s ten disadvantaged community categories (climate change, energy, health, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, water and wastewater, workforce development, Tribal overlap, and neighboring disadvantaged tracts). The map can be found on the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool website.
• USDOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer: A census tract identified as among the most disadvantaged 25% in the State according to the ETC Explorer State Results (final index score must be greater than or equal to
3.43447). The map can be found on the United States Department of Transportation website.
• Native American Tribal Lands: Projects located within Federally Recognized Tribal Lands (typically within the boundaries of a Reservation or Rancheria) and projects submitted by tribal governments (Federally Recognized Native American Tribes).
• Other: If an applicant believes that the project benefits a disadvantaged community, but the project does not meet the aforementioned criteria due to a lack of accurate information, the applicant may submit another means of qualifying for consideration. Commission staff will assess and score this question for applicants using the “Other” category to qualify as a disadvantaged community. Suggested alternatives that can be submitted under this category include:
o Census data that represents a small neighborhood or unincorporated area.
The applicant must submit for consideration a quantitative assessment, such as a survey, to demonstrate that the community’s median household income is at or below 80% of the state median household income. o CalEnviroScreen data that represents a small neighborhood or unincorporated area. The applicant must submit for consideration an assessment to demonstrate that the community’s CalEnviroScreen score is at or above 40.05.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
12 o A Regional Definition such as “environmental justice communities,” “equity priority communities,” or “communities of concern.” The Regional Definition must have been developed through a robust public outreach process that includes the input of community stakeholders and must be stratified based on severity. A regional definition of disadvantaged communities must be adopted as part of a regular four-year cycle adoption of a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) / Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) by an MPO or RTPA per obligations with Title VI of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. A regional definition of disadvantaged communities must be used for the region’s broader planning purposes rather than only to apply for ATP funding.
B. Safe Routes to School Projects
For a project to qualify for a Safe Routes to School designation, the project must directly increase safety and convenience for public school students to walk and/or bike to school. Safe Routes to Schools infrastructure projects must be located within two miles of a public school or within the vicinity of a public school bus stop, and the school community, including students, parents, caregivers, teachers, and staff, must be the intended beneficiaries of the project. For Safe Routes to School non-infrastructure, the program must benefit school students, parents, caregivers, teachers, and/or staff and primarily be based at the school.
C. Recreational Trails Projects
Trail projects that are primarily recreational should meet the federal requirements of the Recreational Trails Program, as such projects may not be eligible for funding from other sources. However, trails that serve active transportation purposes (such as multi-use paths, Class I bikeways, etc.) are fully eligible in the ATP and need not meet the Recreational Trails Program requirements.
IV.Project Application
Applications will be available on the ATP online application portal.
There are six different applications available for applicants to complete, depending on the project type and size. It is incumbent on the applicant to complete the application appropriate for their project. Applicants applying for infrastructure projects must utilize the application type based on the entire project cost, not the ATP request amount. All eligible projects must apply with one of the following application types. Applications for plans may not be combined with applications for infrastructure or non-infrastructure projects.
The six application types are:
A. Large Project, Infrastructure only or Infrastructure/Non-infrastructure:
• Projects with a total project cost of greater than $10 million will be considered a large project and must use the Large Project application. Caltrans and California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
13 Commission staff may conduct onsite field reviews on a selection of projects that qualify as large projects. Field reviews are not indicative of the project’s likelihood of receiving funding.
• Projects that qualify for the large application do not need to apply for construction and may apply for pre-construction phases only.
B. Medium Project, Infrastructure only or Infrastructure/Non-infrastructure:
• Projects with a total project cost of more than $3.5 million and up to $10 million will be considered a medium project and must use the Medium Project application.
C. Small Project, Infrastructure only or Infrastructure/Non-infrastructure:
• Projects with a total project cost of $3.5 million or less will be considered a small project and must use the Small Project application.
D. Non-infrastructure only.
E. Plan:
• Applicants can only apply for a plan with the Plan application. This application cannot be combined with any other type of project. Plan projects must be within or encompass a disadvantaged community.
F. Quick-Build:
• Applicants should refer to Appendix D for more information on applying for a quick-build project.
18. Application Submittal Requirements
Applications must be submitted using the online ATP application portal. Applicants to the 2025 Active Transportation Program are not required to submit hardcopies to the Commission.
The Commission requires:
• All project applications must include the signature of the Chief Executive Officer or other officer authorized by the applicant’s governing board. • Projects that will be implemented by an agency other than the applicant must submit documentation of the agreement between the project applicant and the implementing agency with the project application.
• A project application must also include documentation of all other funds committed to the project.
• All applications for projects within 500 feet of a freeway or roadway with a traffic volume over 125,000 annual average daily traffic (AADT) must include a description of any project design elements intended to minimize exposure to air pollution and an explanation of the circumstances that make locating project components in close California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
14 proximity to heavily traveled freeways or roadways unavoidable or an explanation of why this location was chosen. This item will not be scored.
In addition to submitting a project application to the Commission, a copy must also be sent to the agencies listed below. These agencies may require a hardcopy or electronic version. Check with the agency for their preference.
• Regional Transportation Planning Agency or County Transportation Commission within which the project is located.
• The MPO (a contact list can be found at the Transportation Planning Website.) V. Project Selection Process
The ATP has a sequential selection process. Commission staff will first select projects to be recommended for funding in the statewide component based on score, eligibility and deliverability, and program capacity. Then, each of the remaining projects will be eligible for funding in either the small urban and rural component or the MPO component based on project location. Commission staff will next select projects to be recommended for funding in the small urban and rural component based on score, eligibility and deliverability, and program capacity. Projects located within the boundaries of one of the ten largest MPOs must be considered for funding in the MPO component if the project was not selected for funding in the statewide component. Each of the ten largest MPOs will select projects to be recommended for funding as described in Section 22. The Commission will consider and vote whether to adopt the recommendations made in the statewide, small urban and rural, and MPO components.
19. Project Evaluation Committee
Commission staff will form a multidisciplinary project evaluation committee to assist in evaluating project applications. In forming the project evaluation committee, staff will seek participants with expertise in bicycling and pedestrian transportation, expertise in Safe Routes to Schools projects, and expertise in projects benefiting disadvantaged communities. Additionally, staff will seek a geographically balanced representation from state agencies, large MPOs, regional transportation planning agencies, local jurisdictions in small urban and rural areas, and non-governmental organizations.
Priority for participation in the evaluation committee will be given to those who do not represent a project applicant or will not benefit from any submitted projects. Except for Caltrans, no more than two evaluators from one agency will be chosen to ensure a broader representation of evaluators. If more than two individuals from an agency would like to be evaluators, excess volunteers will be placed on the alternate list and asked to be evaluators should positions become available. Consultants will not be considered for participation in the evaluation committee.
Commission and Caltrans staff will collaborate with the Department of Parks and Recreation to review and select projects to be funded with federal Recreational Trails Program funds.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
15 A. Project Evaluation Process
All eligible project applications received will be evaluated by an evaluator team comprised of two volunteers, one from northern California and one from southern California, if possible. All evaluators are required to participate in an ATP evaluator training and sign a conflict-of-interest form before receiving applications to review. The conflict-of-interest form requires the potential evaluator to list any projects that could present a conflict of interest and to certify that the evaluator can and will review project applications objectively.
Evaluators will not be assigned applications from any applicant located within the county or counties) where they live and work. Evaluator team members agree on consensus scores by question for each application based on the Scoring Rubric developed by Commission staff, Caltrans, and the ATP workgroup. Evaluators submit consensus score forms to Commission staff. Evaluators must include meaningful comments on each consensus score form that explain the given consensus scores. Any consensus score forms without meaningful comments will be returned to the evaluator team for completion.
Simultaneously with evaluator team scoring, Commission staff will read and score every application to provide a check score for evaluators. Caltrans staff review project layouts, maps, and estimates to ensure PSR equivalency and consistency with the proposed scope. Every consensus score is compared to the check score. This process allows for Commission staff to identify errors or discrepancies with scoring. Commission and Caltrans staff will meet with every team to discuss their scores, even if there are no issues.
B. Scoring Rubrics
Each application type has a complementary scoring rubric that outlines the scoring criteria for each question. Evaluator teams must use the correct scoring rubric when reviewing an application. The scoring rubrics provide a consistent framework, ensuring that projects are evaluated on the same standards. The Commission anticipates publishing a scoring rubric for each project application type by March 29, 2024 to allow applicants to utilize the rubric when writing applications.
20. Project Selection Between Applications with the Same Score If two or more project applications receive the same score and it is the funding cut-off score, the following criteria will be used to determine which project(s) will be funded in the following priority order:
1) Project readiness including, but not limited to, completed environmental documents.
2) Highest score on the highest point value question (questions with the highest point value may vary by application type).
3) Highest score on the second highest point value question.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
16 21. Scoring Criteria
Proposed projects will be scored and ranked based on applicant responses to the scoring topics below. The chart below references the scoring topics and points allotted to the different types of applications, as well as the maximum number of points allowed for each scoring topic by application type. If a scoring topic is left blank, it is not applicable to that application type.

A.Benefit to Disadvantaged Communities. The benefit provided to the disadvantaged community affected by the project. The score will be impacted by 17 California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
the project location in relation to the disadvantaged community, the severity, and the direct benefit the project will provide. Applicants must also explain how antidisplacement policies and actions are being implemented to discourage gentrification of the community being impacted by the project. If displacement is not an issue, applicants must explain why it is not a concern for the community.
See Appendix E for anti-displacement resources.
B.Need. Potential for increased walking and bicycling, especially among students, including the identification of walking and bicycling routes to and from schools, transit facilities, community centers, health care facilities, employment centers, and other destinations; potential to promote equity of access to shared public infrastructure for people of all ages and varying abilities; and potential to increase and improve the connectivity and mobility of non-motorized users.
C.Safety. Potential for reducing the number and/or rate or the risk of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and injuries, including the identification of safety hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists, with consideration of safety concerns for students, older adults, and persons with disabilities. If the project includes bicycle improvements, applicants must also discuss the considerations made when evaluating and selecting the project’s bikeway facility type.
D.Public Participation and Planning. Identification of the community-based public participation process that culminated in the project proposal, which may include noticed meetings and consultation with local stakeholders. Project applicants must clearly articulate how the local participation process (including the participation of disadvantaged community stakeholders and community-based organizations) resulted in the identification and prioritization of the proposed project. If there is significant opposition to the project, applicants should summarize any major points of concern raised by the opposition and provide a response. Additionally, for large infrastructure and large infrastructure/non-infrastructure combination projects, applicants will be awarded points for the inclusion of the project in an adopted active transportation plan or similar plan. Eligible plans must be developed through a comprehensive public process.
E. Scope and Plan Layout Consistency and Cost Effectiveness. Evidence that the application, scope, and plan layout are consistent with one another and depict what is being proposed. A project’s cost effectiveness is the relative costs of the project in comparison to the project’s benefits.
F. Scope and Plan Layout Consistency. Evidence that the application, scope, and plan layout are consistent with one another and depict what is being proposed.
G.Implementation and Plan Development. Specific to applicants using the “plan” application form. Evidence that the plan will lead to the implementation of the identified projects.
H.Context-Sensitive Bikeways/Walkways and Innovative Project Elements. The “recognized best” solutions appropriate for the local community context will be California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
18 considered. Applicants should discuss how the project advances a lower-stress environment or a low-stress network. Additionally, applicants should provide a description of the innovative features of the project or explain why the context of the project best lends itself to standard treatments/features.
I. Transformative Projects. Evidence of the transformative nature of the project will help to inform the score. Applicants should describe how nearby projects and local policies and ordinances will contribute to the project’s transformative nature.
In addition, applicants should address the potential for the project to support existing and planned housing, especially affordable housing, and how the project will advance local transportation and land use goals. Applicants are encouraged to apply for the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) Prohousing Designation Program and to describe how local policies align with prohousing criteria. If housing is not an issue for the community, the applicant should explain why it is not a concern.
J. Evaluation and Sustainability. How will the effectiveness of the program be measured and sustained after completion?
K.Leveraging. Leveraging of non-ATP funds (excluding in-kind contributions) on the ATP project scope proposed.
L. Corps. Use of the California Conservation Corps or a certified local community conservation corps, as defined in Section 14507.5 of the Public Resources Code, as partners to undertake or construct applicable projects in accordance with Section 1524 of Public Law 112-141. Points will be deducted if an applicant does not seek Corps participation or if an applicant intends not to utilize a Corps in a project in which the Corps can participate. An exception applies for applicants using the Plan application type.
a. General information and instructions for consulting with the Corps on ATP projects can be found at the California Conservation Corps website or at the California Association of Local Conservation Corps website. b. The California Conservation Corps can be contacted at [email protected]. c. Certified local community conservation corps can be contacted at [email protected].
d. Direct contracting with the California Conservation Corps or a certified local community conservation corps without bidding is permissible, provided that the implementing agency demonstrates cost effectiveness per 23 CFR 635.204 and obtains approval from Caltrans. A copy of the agreement between the implementing agency and the proposed conservation corps must be provided to Caltrans.

19 e. Funded projects will be required to report on the use of the California Conservation Corps or a certified local community conservation corps as noticed in the application.
f. Applicants must consult with the Corps every ATP cycle and for each application submitted. Applicants may not use Corps consultation from previous ATP cycles or from other ATP applications to satisfy this requirement.
M. Past Performance. Applicant’s performance on past ATP projects. Points may be deducted for poor past performance on an ATP project. Poor past performance includes, but is not limited to non-use of the Corps as committed to in a past ATP award or adverse audit findings on a past ATP project that are the fault of the applicant. The Commission will assess the need to deduct points for the failure to deliver any phases of an ATP project programmed in a prior cycle.
22. MPO Competitive Project Selection
Projects not selected for programming in the statewide competition must be considered by the MPOs in administering a competitive selection process.
An MPO may delegate its project selection to the Commission if it uses the Commission’s statewide competition project selection criteria, weighting, minimum funding request amount, match requirement, and definition of disadvantaged communities.
With Commission approval, an MPO may use a different project selection criteria or weighting, minimum funding request amount, match requirement, and/or definition of disadvantaged communities for its competitive selection process. Prior Commission approval is required for a minimum funding request requirement of $500,000 or greater, or different match requirement than in the statewide competitive program.
An MPO may also elect to have a supplemental MPO-specific call for projects. The projects received in this call must be considered along with those not selected for funding in the statewide competitive program. As part of the supplemental call for projects, MPOs may allow applicants to down-scope or provide a scalability plan for statewide-submitted projects. An MPO may recommend a quick-build project for programming; however, all quick-build project applications must be submitted in the manner outlined in Appendix D. MPOs that choose to administer a competitive selection process must use a multidisciplinary advisory group, similar to the Project Evaluation Committee described in Section 19, to assist in evaluating project applications. The Commission will provide a checklist to the MPOs that includes what the MPO must submit with its programming recommendations to the Commission, including:
• List of the members of its multidisciplinary advisory group. • Description of unbiased project selection methodology.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
20 • Programming template provided by Caltrans and Commission staff with the following elements:
o List of all projects evaluated and regional competition scores o Projects recommended with implementing agency name, project name, county, total project cost, request amount, fiscal years, phases, State-only funding requests, state and federal funding split, and amount benefiting disadvantaged communities.
o Project type designations such as Non-infrastructure, Safe Routes to School, etc.
• Board resolution approving the program of projects.
• Project Programming Requests (PPRs).
• Copies of all applications received by the MPO if the MPO conducted a supplemental call for projects. Applications that were submitted to a supplemental call for projects that were recommended for programming by an MPO will not be considered for programming unless the application is received by February 21, 2025. Commission staff and Caltrans staff will review all applications for eligibility and deliverability.
The Commission also may require each MPO to participate in a teleconference between Commission staff, Caltrans staff, and MPO staff to review submittal completeness and accuracy.
If Commission staff determines that an MPO submittal is not complete or accurate enough for Commission staff approval, then Commission staff may elect to postpone consideration of that MPO’s program until the submittal is deemed complete and accurate.
VI. Programming
23. Program of Projects
Consistent with statutory requirements, the Commission will adopt a program of projects for the ATP no later than June 30 of each odd-numbered year after conducting at least one public hearing. The ATP must be developed consistent with the fund estimate.
Projects programmed by the Commission in ATP will not be given priority in other programs under the Commission’s purview.
If the program of projects adopted by the Commission does not program the full capacity identified in the fund estimate for a given fiscal year, the balance will remain available to advance programmed projects. Subject to the availability of funds, a balance not programmed in one fiscal year will carry over and be available for projects in the following fiscal year.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
21 The program of projects for each fiscal year will include, for each project, the amount to be funded from the ATP and the estimated total cost of the project. In the case of a large project delivered in segments, the program of projects will include the total cost of the segment for which ATP funds are requested.
Project costs in the ATP will include costs for each of the following phases:
• project approval and environmental document (PA&ED);
• plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E);
• right-of-way (R/W);
• construction (CON); and
• construction non-infrastructure (CON-NI), if applicable.
For projects anticipated to be delivered using the design-build or design-sequencing contracting method, the construction phase may include costs for design and right-ofway. The cost of each project phase will be listed in the ATP no earlier than in the fiscal year in which the particular project phase can be implemented.
Implementing agencies with projects programmed from prior cycles that do not meet Project Study Report (PSR) equivalency requirements will be required to take corrective action prior to the allocation of funds.
24. Performance Metrics
Successful applicants must submit the required performance metric data for their projects, as noted below.
A. Interim Count Methodology Guidance
The Interim Count Methodology Guidance (Interim Guidance) was developed by Caltrans in collaboration with the ATP Technical Advisory Committee. The Interim Guidance is intended to guide ATP applicants and project awardees in meeting the minimum expectations for conducting user counts, surveys, and evaluation requirements for active transportation projects funded through the ATP. The Interim Guidance covers various topics that represent central steps to ensure that ATP applicants and awardees can provide consistent and uniform project-user data. Topics include determining the type of count data collection needed, as well as how to determine count locations and estimating the total volume within the project limits.
The Count Guidance must be used for all ATP-funded projects that receive a construction phase allocation from the Commission. The Interim Count Methodology Guidance is available on the Caltrans website. The timeframes for conducting user counts are outlined in Section 4 of the Interim Count Methodology Guidance.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
22 B. California Active Transportation Benefit-Cost Tool The California Active Transportation Benefit-Cost Tool was developed by the Commission, Caltrans, and the UC Davis BicyclingPlus Research Collaborative to estimate the expected benefits of the adopted Active Transportation Program.
The tool estimates benefits such as safety, mode shift, reductions in vehicle miles traveled, and total reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Commission will use the tool to provide a program-level summary of benefits for the 2025 Active Transportation Program. Successful applicants, including those with MPO-selected projects, must submit the relevant data to Commission and Caltrans staff by the deadline established by Commission staff.
C. Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Benefits Calculator To further show the benefits of the ATP funding, Commission staff will utilize the analysis provided by the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Benefits Calculator. This tool estimates outputs such as vehicle miles traveled, air pollution, and greenhouse gas reductions for new facilities and bike shares.
Successful applicants, including those with MPO-selected projects, must submit the relevant data to Commission and Caltrans staff by the deadline established by Commission staff.
Agencies that fail to provide the performance metric data listed above may face disciplinary consequences including, but not limited to:
• A written warning
• A required appearance before the Commission
• Placement on a Watch List
Agencies that continue to fail to provide performance metric data may be subject to:
o Ineligibility for future allocations and programming actions o Reduced reimbursements
25. State-Only Funding Designation
Some of the funds in the ATP are federal funds. ATP projects programmed as part of the statewide and small urban and rural competitions with capital construction values of $1,000,000 or more in ATP funding must be federal-aid eligible. Refer to the update to the Federal-Aid Project Funding Guidelines for more information. Agencies may request State-only funding at the time of application. Such a request does not guarantee a State-only funding designation.
Caltrans will post a project list indicating whether projects recommended for funding are funded with state-only funding or federal funding on the Caltrans Active Transportation Program website within 60 days of program adoption.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
23 In the MPO component, it is the responsibility of each MPO to designate projects for State-only funding when submitting their programming recommendation. The recommendations are not to exceed the allotted State-only funds specified in the adopted 2025 ATP Fund Estimate. If a project is not designated for State-only funds in the adopted MPO component and later requires State-only funding, the MPO must modify the State-only fund designations among all its programmed projects so that the State-only fund designations do not exceed the allotment in the adopted 2025 ATP Fund Estimate. The MPO must inform Caltrans of any changed State-only funding designations before submitting an allocation request for any affected project and inform the Commission which State-only-funded project(s) will be converted to federal funds.
All programmed quick-build projects will be designated for State-only funding.
26. Committed / Uncommitted Funds
The Commission will program and allocate funding to projects in whole thousands of dollars and will include a project only if it is fully funded from a combination of ATP funds and other committed funds. The Commission will only propose to fund projects with uncommitted funds in the following two situations:
• The project is at the funding cut-off for an MPO in their MPO component, and there are not enough available funds in that MPO’s program to fund the full project. The applicant must demonstrate how it intends to fund the construction of a useable segment, consistent with the project application. • Projects requesting funding for the pre-construction phases only that fall into the large infrastructure category as defined in the Project Application, Section IV of these Guidelines. The applicant must demonstrate the means by which it intends to fund the construction of a useable segment, consistent with the project application.
Uncommitted funds may only be from a future cycle of the ATP, the Local Partnership Program (formulaic or competitive), the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, the Trade Corridors Enhancement Program, or a federal discretionary grant program. The applicant must indicate its plan for securing a funding commitment, explain the risk of not securing that commitment, and its plan for securing an alternate source of funding should the commitment not be obtained. If a project with uncommitted funds is programmed, all funding commitments for that phase must be secured prior to July 1 of the fiscal year in which the project is programmed, or the project will be removed from the program.
The Commission will regard funds as committed when they are programmed by the Commission or when the agency with discretionary authority over the funds has made its commitment to the project by ordinance or resolution. For federal formula funds, including the Surface Transportation Program, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, and federal formula transit funds, the commitment may be by Federal approval of the Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. For California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
24 federal discretionary funds, the commitment may be by federal approval of a full funding grant agreement or by grant approval.
27. Contingency List
The Commission may identify a contingency list of projects to be amended into the program in the event a programmed project has returned award savings or is deleted from the program. This contingency list will be in effect only until the adoption of the next programming cycle.
28. Baseline Agreements
In accordance with the SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines, the Commission requires Baseline Agreements for ATP projects with a total project cost of $25 million or greater (all funds) or a total programmed amount of $10 million or greater in ATP funds, including large infrastructure projects that are programmed with ATP funds in pre-construction phases only and that meet these thresholds. Baseline agreements establish the agreed-upon benefits, project scope, schedule, and cost of a project for which the Commission has approved funding. These agreements provide a foundation for project monitoring and reporting and identify the agency responsible for reporting on the progress made toward the implementation of the project.
The Commission will approve baseline agreements at a regular Commission meeting within four months after a project has been adopted into the ATP, except in instances in which a project has not received environmental clearance at the time of programming.
Projects that have not received environmental clearance at the time of programming will be expected to have a baseline agreement approved within six months after the Lead Agency files a notice of exemption or files a notice of determination pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
The following documents must be completed and submitted to Caltrans as part of the baseline agreement package:
• A signed baseline agreement
• An approved ATP application
• A completed Project Programming Request (PPR)
• Completed environmental documents (CEQA and NEPA, if required) • A completed Benefits Form
The Commission may delete a project for which no baseline agreement is executed.
The Commission will not consider approval of a project allocation, except for the environmental project phase and the non-infrastructure project phase for infrastructure/non-infrastructure combination projects, without an approved baseline agreement. The SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines are available on the Commission’s website.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
25 VII. Program / Project Amendments
29. Amendment Requests
Implementing agencies who wish to request project amendments must obtain approval from all partner and funding entities before submitting these requests to the Commission. Implementing agencies must submit amendment requests in a timely manner and include documentation that supports the requested change and its impact on the scope, cost, schedule, public support, and benefits.
Caltrans shall coordinate all amendment requests and utilize the Project Programming Request (PPR) form to help document the change. Implementing agencies must notify Caltrans in writing of proposed project amendments.
Project amendments will be considered for ATP as follows:
• Scope Changes – the Commission may consider changes to the scope of the project only as described below.
• Funding Distribution Changes – the Commission may consider a request to move funds between phases after a project has been programmed only as described below.
• Project Segmenting – the Commission may consider a request to segment a project into two or more segments only as described in subsection C below.
Schedule changes to a project will not be considered, however, time extensions are allowed as specified in Section 32. The ATP will not fund any cost increases to a project, except for Caltrans-implemented projects as outlined in Section VIII. If there is a change in the cost estimate, the implementing agency must notify Caltrans as soon as possible. The written notification should explain the change and the plan to cover the increase.
The standard processing time for amendment requests is a minimum of 60 days prior to the Commission meeting for which they seek action.
A. Scope Changes
The Commission will consider changes to the approved scope submitted in the project application to assist agencies in implementing their ATP projects and maximize the overall benefits of the ATP. An agency requesting a scope change must submit a request to Caltrans that includes the following:
• An explanation of the proposed scope change.
• The reason for the proposed scope change.
• The impact the proposed scope change would have on the overall cost of the project.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
26 • An estimate of the impact the proposed scope change would have on the potential of the project to increase walking and bicycling as compared to the benefits identified in the project application (increase or decrease in benefit). • An estimate of the impact the proposed scope change would have on the potential of the project to increase the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists as compared to the benefits identified in the project application (increase or decrease in benefit).
• An estimate of the impact of the proposed scope change on benefits to disadvantaged communities, if applicable (increase or decrease in benefit). • An explanation of the methodology used to develop the estimates. • Evidence of public support for the new scope.
• Revalidation of the environmental document(s), if needed. • How the scope change impacts the project schedule.
• For projects in which the original ATP scope has been or will be completed through a different project or funding source, the implementing agency must submit an explanation of the overlapping scopes of the projects and/or change in funding source. If the scope change is approved, the agency must continue to report on any items that were in the original ATP scope but were or will be completed through a different project or funding source. • Identification of any funding sources used to complete the project that were not included in the project application.
• Identification of any savings expected due to a reduced or modified scope. • An explanation of how the scope change affects the project budget, and how increases will be funded, or savings will be utilized.
• For projects programmed in the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) component, evidence of MPO approval and the MPO rationale for their approval.
Caltrans will review the proposed scope change and forward the proposal along with Caltrans’ written analysis and recommendation to the Commission for the Commission’s consideration.
Commission staff may accept or deny minor scope changes and will present those that are accepted to the Commission as a part of the project allocation request. Minor scope changes are those that stay true to the project proposed in the application, with little or no impact on project benefits, strong public support, or increase the benefits of the project. If Commission staff denies approval of a minor scope change request, Caltrans, in collaboration with the requesting agency, may resubmit the scope change request as a major scope change for the Commission’s consideration.
Caltrans will present recommendations to approve or disapprove major scope changes to the Commission as a project amendment agenda item at a regularly scheduled Commission meeting. Commission staff may recommend denying a scope change if the California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
27 request dramatically changes the project scope and intent from what was approved in the application, or if there is a loss in benefits. The Commission may approve or deny the scope change request, regardless of staff and Caltrans’ recommendations.
Scope change requests must be submitted as soon as practicable following identification of the needed change, and prior to the allocation of any additional project phases. Scope change requests must be submitted prior to an agency requesting the allocation of construction funds, except in instances where there are contract bid cost savings, as described in Section 37 of these Guidelines.
For more information on quick-build project scope change requirements, see Appendix D of these Guidelines.
B. Funding Distribution Changes
Agencies may request to move fund amounts between programmed phases, including Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specs and Estimates (PS&E), Right of Way (R/W), and Construction (CON). Moving funds between phases will not increase the total programmed amount. The agency must show that the project remains fully funded and that the benefits of the project will remain the same or increase. All Funding Distribution Change requests must be considered by the Commission for approval.
When preparing a request for a Funding Distribution Change, agencies should consider the following:
• The request must be made prior to the state fiscal year in which the funds have been programmed.
• The funds that are part of the request cannot have been allocated. • Funds programmed in construction cannot be moved out of construction. • An agency may only request a Funding Distribution Change once during the life of the project. Agencies should consider waiting until after the environmental review has been completed to submit a Funding Distribution Change.
The notification to Caltrans must include:
• A revised Project Programming Request that outlines the proposed Funding Distribution Change.
• The reason for the proposed Funding Distribution Change. • The impact the proposed change would have on the overall cost of the project.
The project must remain fully funded.
• A discussion of whether the Funding Distribution Change will affect the benefit of the project as described in the project application.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
28 C. Project Segmenting
The Commission will consider project segmenting requests that aid in the overall delivery of the project.
When preparing a request to segment a project, agencies should consider the following:
• In segmenting a project, phases or segments may not be reprogrammed to later years.
• An agency may only request to segment a project once during the life of a project.
• Segmenting must be approved prior to construction allocation. An allocated phase cannot be segmented.
An agency wishing to segment a project must submit a request to Caltrans that includes the following:
• An explanation of the proposed project segmentation.
• The reason for the proposed project segmentation.
• A map clearly showing each project segment or phase.
• Separate PPRs for each project segment.
Caltrans will review the proposed project segmenting request and forward the proposal along with Caltrans’ written analysis and recommendation to Commission staff for the Commission’s consideration.
VIII. Allocations
When an agency is ready to implement a project or project phase, the agency will submit an allocation request to Caltrans. The typical time required, after receipt of the request, to complete Caltrans review and recommendation and Commission allocation is 60 days. Allocation request deadlines are outlined on the Caltrans Active Transportation Program website.
Caltrans will review the request and determine whether or not to recommend the request to the Commission for action. The recommendation will include a determination of project readiness, the availability of appropriated funding, the availability of all identified and committed supplementary funding, and the consistency with the project’s Baseline Agreement, if applicable. When Caltrans develops its construction allocation recommendation, the Commission expects Caltrans to verify that a project’s plans, specifications, and estimate are complete, and match the application scope or approved scope amendment, environmental and right-of-way clearances are secured, and all necessary permits and agreements are executed. The Commission will only consider an allocation of construction funds to projects that are ready to advertise. Projects using the design-build or design-sequencing contracting methods shall be considered ready for allocation upon completion of environmental clearance. Readiness for projects to be California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
29 transferred to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) shall be consistent with BIA’s or FTA’s definition of readiness for transfer.
In compliance with Section 21150 of the Public Resources Code, the Commission will not allocate funds for a non-infrastructure project or plan, or for design, right-of-way, or construction of an infrastructure project, prior to documentation of environmental clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As a matter of policy, the Commission will not allocate funds, other than for the environmental phase, for a federally funded project prior to documentation of environmental clearance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Exceptions to this policy may be made in instances where federal law allows for the acquisition of right-of-way prior to completion of NEPA review.
The Commission will approve the allocation in whole thousands of dollars and only if the allocation is necessary to implement the project as included in the adopted ATP. The ATP does not fund cost increases. If there is a cost increase to the project, the implementing agency must submit an updated PPR form that identifies the cost increase and the fund source that will cover the cost increase. If funding is not identified to cover the cost increase, the project component will be lapsed. Caltrans-implemented projects are the only exception to this provision. The Commission will consider funding a cost increase for Caltrans-implemented projects if all other cost-saving measures, such as scope modifications, have been exhausted and the project cannot proceed without additional funds. The additional funds will be apportioned from the subsequent ATP cycle. Caltrans cost increase requests must be approved by the Commission in the same manner as project cost increases for other Commission programs.
Applicants that have partnered with an implementing agency must include a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding or Interagency Agreement between the project applicant and implementing agency with the allocation request.
The Commission will consider the allocation request if the funds are available and the allocation is necessary to implement the project as included in the adopted ATP. All allocations are dependent on the availability of ATP funds. If there are insufficient program funds to approve an allocation, the Commission may delay the allocation of funds to a project until the next fiscal year without requiring an extension.
To ensure the timely use of all program funds, the Commission will, contingent upon availability, advance allocate funds to projects programmed in a future fiscal year on a first-come, first-served basis. Should requests for advance allocations exceed available capacity, the Commission will give priority to projects programmed in the current year.
Allocation requests for a project in the MPO-selected portion of the program must include a recommendation by the MPO.
Any scope change requests must be presented to Caltrans for consideration prior to allocation in the manner described in Section 29.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
30 30. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)/Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transfers
An implementing agency may request to transfer programmed ATP funds to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) if the BIA or FTA has greater expertise to administer a project, or if there may be cost savings associated with a project that has multiple components. The implementing agency shall notify Caltrans as early as possible following programming, so that funding eligible for transfer from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to the BIA or FTA can be assigned to the project in a timely manner. Caltrans shall make a recommendation to the Commission regarding the readiness of the project for allocation using the same criteria used by the BIA or FTA. The implementing agency should submit the BIA or FTA transfer form to Caltrans along with their allocation request. Caltrans shall add a “BIA Transfer” or “FTA Transfer” notation to the vote box for projects that will require a BIA or FTA Transfer.
Projects with BIA and FTA transfers must comply with the Active Transportation Program Guidelines and the SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines.
IX. Project Delivery
31. Letter of No Prejudice
The Commission will consider approval of a Letter of No Prejudice to advance a project programmed in the ATP. Approval of the Letter of No Prejudice will allow the agency to begin work and incur eligible expenses prior to allocation. The Letter of No Prejudice Guidelines are available on the Commission’s website.
32. Timely Use of Funds
ATP allocations are requested by project phase, Environmental Phase (PA&ED), Design Phase (PS&E), Right-of-Way Phase (R/W), Construction Phase (CON), and Construction Non-Infrastructure (CON-NI), as applicable. Each allocation must be requested in the fiscal year that the phase is programmed. When funds are not allocated within the fiscal year they are programmed or within the time allowed by an approved extension, the funds will lapse, and the phase will be deleted from the Active Transportation Program.
The Commission may extend the deadline only once for each allocation phase and only if it finds that an unforeseen and extraordinary circumstance beyond the control of the responsible agency that justifies the extension has occurred. The extension will not exceed the period of delay directly attributed to the extraordinary circumstance and cannot exceed twelve months. If extraordinary issues exist that require a longer extension, the implementer may request up to 20 months for allocation only. Extension requests for a project in the MPO-selected portion of the program must include a recommendation by the MPO, consistent with the preceding requirements.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
31 Funds allocated for Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), and Right-of-Way (R/W) costs must be expended by the end of the second fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the funds were allocated. The implementing agency must invoice Caltrans for these costs no later than 180 days after the expenditure or completion deadline.
Construction contracts must be awarded and executed within six months of construction allocation. The Commission may extend the contract award deadline only once if it finds that an unforeseen and extraordinary circumstance beyond the control of the responsible agency that justifies the extension has occurred. The extension will not exceed the period of delay directly attributed to the extraordinary circumstance and cannot exceed twelve months.
After the award of the contract, the implementing agency has up to 36 months to complete (accept) the contract. At the time of construction fund allocation, the implementing agency may request, and the Commission may approve extending the deadline for completion of work and the liquidation of funds if necessary to accommodate the proposed expenditure plan for the project.
The Commission may extend the deadlines for expenditures for project development or right-of-way, or for contract completion no more than one time, only if it finds that an unforeseen and extraordinary circumstance beyond the control of the responsible agency has occurred that justifies the extension. The extension will not exceed the period of delay directly attributed to the extraordinary circumstance and cannot exceed more than 12 months for project completion and 12 months for expenditure.
Except for the allocation of funds, the request to extend the deadline for any of the above must be received by Caltrans prior to the expiration date. For the allocation of funds, the time extension must be approved by the Commission by June 30th of the year the funds are programmed; otherwise, the funds will lapse. Additional guidance on ATP timely use of funds expectations and policies can be found on the Caltrans Local Assistance website.
Projects with a right-of-way phase programmed must commence the right-of-way phase within ten years of receiving Project Approval and Environmental Document and/or Plans, Specifications, and Estimates funding through ATP, and must commence construction within ten years of receiving right-of-way funding through ATP. Projects without a right-of-way phase programmed must commence construction within ten years of receiving Project Approval and Environmental Document and Plans, Specifications, and Estimates funding through ATP. Otherwise, the implementing agency must repay the ATP funds, and the repaid funds may be made available for redistribution in the subsequent programming cycle.
If there are insufficient funds, the Commission may delay the allocation of funds to a project until the next fiscal year without requiring an extension. It is incumbent upon the implementing agency to develop accurate project cost estimates. If the amount of a contract award is less than the amount allocated, or if the final cost of a phase is less than the amount allocated, the savings generated will be returned to the ATP.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
32 Caltrans will track the delivery of ATP projects and submit to the Commission the required reports showing the delivery of each project phase.
33. Delivery Deadline Extensions
The Commission may extend a delivery deadline, as described in Section 32, upon the request of the implementing agency. No deadline may be extended more than once.
However, there are separate deadlines for allocations, contract award, expenditures, and project completion. Each project phase has its own deadline. The Commission may consider the extension for each deadline separately.
All requests for project delivery deadline extensions shall be submitted directly to Caltrans for processing prior to the expiration date. The extension request should describe the specific circumstance that justifies the extension and identify the delay directly attributable to the circumstance. Caltrans will review and prepare a written analysis of the proposed extension requests and forward the written analysis and recommendation to the Commission for action.
34. Federal Requirements
Unless fully programmed for state-only funding, project applicants must comply with the provisions of Titles 23 and 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and the processes and procedures for federally funded projects contained in the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and the Master Agreement with Caltrans. Below are examples of federal requirements that must be met when administering ATP projects. • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance and documentation are required for all projects. Refer to the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 6: Environmental Procedures, for guidance and procedures on complying with NEPA and other federal environmentally related laws. • Project applicants may not proceed with the final design of a project or request “Authorization to proceed with Right-of-Way” or “Authorization to proceed with Construction” until Caltrans has signed a Categorical Exclusion, a Finding of No Significant Impact, or a Record of Decision. Failure to follow this requirement will make the project ineligible for federal reimbursement.
• If the project requires the purchase of right of way (the acquisition of real property), the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 apply. For more information, refer to the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 13, Right of Way. • If the project applicant requires consultation services that include but are not limited to the services of architects, landscape architects, land surveyors, or engineers, the procedures in Chapter 10, Consultant Selection, of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual must be followed. The naming of a partner in the application does not negate this requirement.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
33 • Contract documents are required to incorporate applicable federal requirements such as Davis Bacon wage rates, competitive bidding, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises/Equal Employment Opportunity provisions, etc. For more information, refer to the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 9, Civil Rights and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, and Chapter 12, Plans, Specifications, and Estimates.
• Failure to comply with federal requirements may result in the repayment of ATP funds to the State.
35. Design Standards
Streets and Highways Code Section 891 requires that all city, county, regional, and other local agencies responsible for the development or operation of bikeways or roadways where bicycle travel is permitted utilize all minimum safety design criteria established by Caltrans, except that an agency may utilize other minimum safety design criteria if specific conditions are met, as described in Streets and Highways Code Section 891(b). The Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Chapter 11, Design Guidance, describes statewide design standards, specifications, procedures, guides, and references that are acceptable in the geometric, drainage, and structural design of Local Assistance projects.
For capital projects off the state highway system, the project applicant will be responsible for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility. If another entity agrees to assume responsibility for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility, documentation of the agreement must be submitted with the project application, and a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding or Interagency Agreement between the parties must be submitted with the request for allocation.
All facilities constructed using ATP funds cannot revert to non-ATP use for a minimum of 20 years or its actual useful life as documented in the project application, whichever is less, without the approval of the Commission. The exception to this is ATP-funded quick-build projects.
36. Project Inactivity
Once funds for a project are encumbered, project applicants are expected to invoice on a regular basis (for federal funds, see 23 CFR 630.106 and the Caltrans’ Inactive Obligation Policy). Failure to do so will result in the project being deemed “inactive” and subject to de-obligation if proper justification is not provided.
37. Project Cost Savings
Savings at contract bid may be used to expand the project scope only if the expanded scope provides additional quantifiable active transportation benefits. The expanded scope must be approved by Commission staff prior to contract award. All other contract bid savings will be returned proportionally.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
34 Savings at project completion must be returned proportionally except when an agency has, subsequent to project programming, committed additional funds to the project to fund a cost increase. In such instances, savings at project completion may be returned to other fund types first, until the proportions match those at programming. Any additional savings at project completion must be returned proportionally.
Any amount allocated for environmental may also be expended for design. In addition, a local agency may expend an amount allocated for environmental, design, right of way, construction (infrastructure), or construction (non-infrastructure) for another allocated project phase, provided that the total expenditure shifted to a phase in this way is not more than 20 percent of the amount actually allocated for either phase. This means that the amount transferred by a local agency from one phase to another may be no more than 20 percent of whichever of the phases has received the smaller allocation from the Commission.
If an implementing agency requests an allocation of funds in an amount that is less than the amount programmed, the balance of the programmed amount may be allocated to a programmed project advanced from a future fiscal year. Project savings, including savings from projects programmed in the MPO component, will return to the overall ATP and be available to a programmed project advanced from a future fiscal year.
38. Project Cancellation
If an implementing agency elects to cancel a project, the agency must cease all invoicing and relinquish any remaining funds to the program. The implementing agency must submit a letter signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Public Works Director, or other officer authorized by its governing body addressed to the Commission’s Executive Director that includes the following information:
• Reason for project cancellation
• Efforts made to avoid cancellation
• Lessons learned from challenges faced
The appropriate Regional Transportation Planning Agency should be copied on the letter.
Commission staff may schedule a follow-up meeting with all parties involved to discuss the project cancellation.
Project cancellations in the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), and Right-of-Way (R/W) phases require repayment of the reimbursed ATP funds if the investment does not result in a physical improvement within ten years. Project cancellations directly related to compliance with another federal and/or state law, such as NEPA and CEQA, do not require repayment. If an implementing agency determines that repayment is not required on a project canceled in the PA&ED, PS&E, or R/W phase, the implementing agency must submit a written request to Caltrans. Caltrans will review the request, obtain FHWA concurrence California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
35 for federally funded projects, and forward the request and a written recommendation for the Commission’s consideration.
39. Project Reporting
The purpose of all required reports is to ensure that the project is executed on time and within budget, and that it delivers the scope and benefits identified in the project application. The ATP adheres to the program accountability requirements set forth in the SB1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines. The reporting provisions specified in the SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines apply to all projects programmed in the ATP.
All implementing agencies must submit regular progress reports, a completion report, and a final delivery report to Caltrans. Implementing agencies should refer to the Local Assistance website for details. Implementing agencies must submit photographs of the completed project as part of the Completion Report. Photos showing people using the completed facility are best. If there are recognizable faces in the photos, the agency must include a photo release waiver with the report. Photographs of the completed project should be at least 300 dots per inch (DPI). Implementing agencies will also be encouraged to submit photographs of the project with progress reports when significant project milestones are achieved.
An agency implementing a project in the MPO-selected portion of the program is required to also submit copies of all its reports to the MPO. However, all agencies are encouraged to submit copies of their reports to their MPO or RTPA.
Projects with a Bureau of Indian Affairs or Federal Transit Administration transfer must comply with the reporting requirements set forth by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Federal Transit Administration.
40. Audits
The audit requirements outlined in the SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines apply to all projects programmed in the ATP.

45 XIV. Appendix C
Active Transportation Program Guidelines
California Conservation Corps and
Certified Local Community Conservation Corps
These guidelines are the policies and procedures specific to the most recently adopted Active Transportation Program (ATP) that is directed to the California Conservation Corps and certified Local Community Conservation Corps. The final fiscal year for California Conservation Corps and certified Local Community Conservation Corps was fiscal year 2021-22. The 2025 Active Transportation Program does not direct any funding to the California Conservation Corps and Certified Local Community Conservation Corps.
Authority and Purpose
Senate Bill 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), signed by the Governor on April 28, 2017, directs $100 million annually from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to the ATP beginning in the 2017-18 fiscal year. In addition, Assembly Bill 97 (Ting, Chapter 14, Statutes of 2017) directs $4 million of the $100 million annually, beginning in the 2017-18 fiscal year for the next five years, to the California Conservation Corps for active transportation projects to be developed and implemented by the California Conservation Corps and certified Local Community Conservation Corps. The availability of these funds is subject to annual appropriation by the Legislature. Not less than 50% of these funds shall be in the form of grants to certified Local Community Conservation Corps, as defined in Section 14507.5 of the Public Resources Code. Unless otherwise specified in these guidelines, the Commission will follow the most recently adopted ATP Guidelines.
Active Transportation Program Goals
The purpose of ATP is to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation by achieving the following goals:
• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking, • Increase safety and mobility for non-motorized users, • Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, pursuant to Senate Bill 375 (0f 2008) and Senate Bill 341 (of 2009),
• Enhance public health,
• Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program and provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
46 Eligible Project Types
Eligible projects include projects that meet the goals of ATP as listed above and may be part of an existing bicycle or pedestrian transportation plan, safe routes to school plan, active transportation plan for disadvantaged communities, or multi-use or recreational trail plan. Examples of typical project work can be found in the Commission’s ATP Guidelines.
The California Conservation Corps and certified Local Community Conservation Corps will consider, but not be limited to, projects with the following elements:
• Repair, remove and replace sidewalks
• Sign installation
• Irrigation
• Landscaping
• Demolition and deconstruction
• Tree planting
• Trail construction
• Bike locker and bike rack installation
• Fencing
• Outreach and education
When the California Conservation Corps or a certified Local Community Conservation Corps elect to partner with an ATP eligible applicant to implement the project, the California Conservation Corps and/or certified Local Community Conservation Corps will only consider those projects where at least 75% of the project cost includes items where the California Conservation Corps and/or certified Local Community Conservation Corps can participate.
Environmental Review
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21102 and 21150, the Commission must consider the environmental impacts of a project prior to making an allocation of funds.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance documentation for the proposed California Conservation Corps and certified Local Community Conservation Corps projects must be provided as follows:
For projects that are exempt from CEQA, documentation of the exemption must be provided with the project application and included with funding recommendations submitted to Caltrans ATP Managers for review. Project lists being submitted to the Commission for consideration of a lump sum allocation must cite the date the CEQA exemption was cleared.
For projects that are not exempt from CEQA, and for which an environmental document has been prepared and approved, documentation of the CEQA clearance must be California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
47 provided with the project application. The Commission must consider the environmental document and approve the project for future funding via the issuance of an e-resolution.
E-resolutions must be obtained at a Commission meeting that is either prior to, or concurrent with, the lump sum allocation request.
For more information on the process by which to obtain an e-resolution see the Commission website. Allocation requests will be brought forward for Commission consideration by Caltrans Local Assistance.
If the project is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) it is the Commission’s policy that documentation of NEPA clearance is provided with the project application and prior to allocation of funds.
Allocation
The California Conservation Corps’ list of projects recommended for funding will be submitted for approval and lump sum allocation by the Commission pursuant to the schedule identified in these guidelines and in accordance with this section.
The Commission will allocate the funds to Caltrans as a lump-sum and Caltrans will sub-allocate funding to the California Conservation Corps.
For projects exempt from CEQA, at the time of allocation, the date of the CEQA exemption determination by the lead agency must be noted in the list of projects being approved for allocation.
For projects not exempt from CEQA, and for which an environmental document has been prepared and approved, an e-resolution must be issued by the Commission prior to the list of projects being approved for allocation pursuant to Section IX of the 2021 Active Transportation Program Guidelines.
The Commission’s expectation is that consistent with the requirements of the overall Active Transportation Program, the Corps will administer these funds to the recipients on a reimbursement basis. The availability of these funds is subject to annual appropriation by the Legislature. The California Conservation Corps will submit an allocation request to Caltrans. The California Conservation Corps is responsible for the expenditures of all allocated funds. Costs incurred prior to Commission allocation are not eligible for reimbursement.
Reporting
The California Conservation Corps is required to submit semi-annual project status reports for the program as well as project completion reports within six months of construction contract acceptance or the project becoming operable (open to the public) and a final delivery report within 180 days of the conclusion of all remaining project activities to Caltrans. Refer to the most recent Commission ATP Guidelines for reporting requirements.

48 XV. Appendix D
Guidance for the 2025 ATP Quick-Build Projects
The 2025 ATP will include a Quick-Build Project Program evaluated separately from other project types. The Commission included Quick-Build Project Pilot Programs in the 2021 and 2023 ATP cycles. While the pilot programs showed that there is interest in and need for these projects, more program refinement is needed before formally integrating quick-build projects into the overall ATP. Specifically, Commission staff continues to work with stakeholders to strengthen understanding of the quick-build concept and refine evaluation criteria. The Commission anticipates dedicating a maximum of $7,000,000 to quick-build projects in the 2025 ATP. The Commission may select several quick-build projects, or none.
What are Quick-Build Projects?
Quick-build projects are interim capital improvement projects that further the goals of the ATP. These projects require minor construction activities and are typically built with durable, low-to-moderate-cost materials. They are typically designed to last from one year to five years, but could last longer if the materials are maintained and the project continues to be supported by the community. These projects have moderate design flexibility to anticipate adjustments that may occur based on community feedback.
The purpose of a quick-build project is to immediately implement safety needs, allowing a community to benefit quickly from improvements made, and/or allow the people affected by the project to provide input and test the project improvements before they are permanently constructed.
Quick-build projects are distinguished from temporary demonstration projects by the types of materials used and the intended duration of the project. In addition, quick-build projects have a data collection and study period that lasts from the beginning of the project through completion. A testing period of at least six months is required. Unlike traditional capital projects, quick-build projects can be adjusted; they can be changed based on community input and further technical analysis over time. If the quick-build project is successful, it will later be made permanent. If it is not successful, it can be easily deconstructed. Quick-build projects are intended to remain in place until capital upgrades are possible. For an overview of the differences between demonstration, quick-build and traditional capital projects, refer to the Quick-Build Supplemental Guidance on the Caltrans Active Transportation Program website.
Quick-build projects considered for funding in the ATP must be supported by the jurisdiction in which they are located. Government leadership and involvement is required.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
49 Project Materials
Quick-build projects should be constructed with durable, low-to-moderate cost materials. These materials are generally semi-permanent, meaning they are adhered to the ground, but are still moderately flexible so they can be adjusted based on community feedback. In general, quick-build materials do not require excavation to install. For a list of example quick-build materials, refer to the Quick-Build Supplemental Guidance, which is available on the Caltrans Active Transportation Program website.
Community Engagement and Data Collection
Ongoing community engagement and data collection are critical components of evaluating the success of a quick-build project. All quick-build projects considered for funding in the ATP are expected to collect data to inform the approach for the project.
Applicants should plan to collect data before and after the quick-build project is installed, and to adjust the project based on community feedback. Data collection should last through the duration of the project, (pre-construction through completion) and the project must include a community testing period of at least six months. During the testing period, the implementer must conduct ongoing community engagement to obtain feedback on the project and inform project changes.
Methods implementers could consider when conducting ongoing community engagement include:
• Brief intercept surveys in the project area
• Project workshops or hearings
• Brief questionnaires for project users
• Social media campaigns that encourage public feedback Examples of metrics that can be evaluated include:
• Vehicle speeds and volumes
• Adherence to traffic laws
• Average travel time and delay for all road users
• Mode shift
• User perceptions of the level of traffic stress and safety • User perceptions of driver behavior
• Number of collisions and injuries before and after the quick-build project More information on community engagement can be found in the Quick-Build Supplemental Guidance.
Project Delivery Methods
Quick-build projects involve an iterative community engagement and project design process and may be better delivered through the design-build method instead of the California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
50 traditional design-bid-build method. Applicants must indicate that they intend to use the design-build delivery method in their application. If the project is expected to be delivered using the design-build method, the applicant may include the cost of design in the construction phase.
Funding Overview
ATP funding is available for the construction phase only. As noted above, if the project is expected to be delivered using the design-build method, the applicant may include the cost of design in the construction phase. Applicants must specify the delivery method that they wish to use in the application. The project must have environmental clearance or categorical exemption at the time of programming. A project that is in a plan that cleared CEQA and NEPA, where applicable, qualifies.
Funding will be available for programming in fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Reporting Requirements
Quick-build projects must adhere to reporting requirements set forth in the ATP guidelines. Quick-build projects are not required to submit reports in CalSMART; however, quarterly reports are required, and more frequent reports and updates may be required if requested.
Quarterly reports must include:
• A summary of engagement activities conducted and data collected during the reporting period. The agency must include documentation of these activities, such as photographs, questionnaire responses, or sign-in sheets. • Documentation of any layout changes, including layout plans and photographs.
Implementing agencies must submit a Completion Report after the project testing and data collection period is complete. The report must include:
• A summary of engagement activities and how public engagement shaped any changes to the project. The agency must include documentation of these activities, such as photographs, questionnaire responses, or sign-in sheets. • Documentation of any layout changes, including layout plans and photographs. • A narrative on project outcomes and lessons learned.
If there are recognizable faces in the photos, the agency must include a photo release waiver with the report. Instructions on what to report on, where and when to submit reports will be provided to successful quick-build project applicants.
All reports must be submitted to Commission staff and Caltrans.
California Transportation Commission Adopted March 22, 2024 2025 Active Transportation Program Guidelines
51 Time Extensions
The Commission will only consider quick-build project time extensions in unforeseen and extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the implementing agency. The agency must justify the extension request. Implementing agencies may request to extend a delivery deadline as described in Section 31 of these Guidelines. Approved time extensions are limited to three months per delivery deadline, including allocation, award, and completion.
Scope Changes
Quick-build projects are expected to be flexible and to change based on community testing and feedback. Implementing agencies must submit new project layouts during each reporting period to reflect adjustments made based on community feedback.
Quick-build projects that propose to make substantial changes that differ significantly from the anticipated project scope must follow the Project Amendment process outlined in Section 28 of these guidelines. Substantial changes include but are not limited to a change in project location or the removal of the project. Implementing agencies should inform Caltrans of any potentially significant changes.
Application Requirements
To be considered for the 2025 ATP Quick-Build Program, applicants must meet with Commission staff prior to application submittal to determine eligibility. Potential applicants must email [email protected] by May 17, 2024 to schedule a meeting.
The Quick-Build Program application will be available on the online application portal on the CTC website. Applications must be submitted by June 17, 2024.
Quick-Build Project Examples
Quick-build projects could include elements such as:
• Protected intersections using painted curb extensions, temporary refuges, and pavement markings.
• Planter, parking, or delineator protected bike lanes. • Temporary transit platforms.
• Interim shared space and slow streets using barricades.

Anti-Displacement Resources
Definitions
• Anti-displacement – refers to various strategies, programs, and laws that intend to counteract the displacement pressures felt by individuals. Some examples include, but are not limited to, rent assistance, subsidized housing, tenant protections, legal assistance to at-risk renters, rent stabilization, foreclosure prevention programs, and eviction prevention programs.
• Displacement – refers to a situation in which households or businesses are involuntarily forced to relocate. Direct displacement may occur due to economic (foreclosure, rent increases, eviction, etc.) or physical reasons (environmental catastrophe, demolition of existing housing, etc.). Indirect or “exclusionary” displacement prevents people or businesses from moving into a neighborhood (i.e., excluded) because of high rents or other conditions they are unable to control or prevent, such as policies that prohibit overnight parking, which may affect unhoused individuals who sleep in their vehicle. Displacement effects can include homelessness, loss of community, loss of access to jobs and services, and loss of economic opportunity, and disproportionately affects historically marginalized groups Resources

Community Development has 5 RV trailers that were donated by the State of California during COVID to house homeless people. They are currently vacant, and the interiors are damaged beyond reasonable repair. These will be sold at auction.
Public Works Fleet Facility had replaced broken and old tables. The old tables will be sold at auction. The broken tables will be disposed of.
The Airport had a 1979 air compressor that did not pass inspection. It was replaced with a new air compressor. This will be sold at auction.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E, P.L.S, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: VICTOR SANCHEZ, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
TITLE: SPONSOR AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CCC)
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Sponsor Agreement between the City of Salinas and the California Conservation Corps (CCC) for the Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program in the amount of $62,400 and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents pertaining to the Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Through Resolution No. 22024, City Council approved $252,840 in State funds for the Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program for preparation of an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) and planting of 300 trees on City properties. Per the grant agreement, the City committed to utilize the California Conservation Corps (CCC), where possible, and if available. Staff is recommending the City of Salinas utilize the CCC to provide labor for planting of the trees committed in the grant.
BACKGROUND:
On December 8, 2020, City Council approved Resolution No. 22024 to receive $252,840 in State funds for the Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program for preparation of a UFMP and planting of 300 trees on City properties. The draft UFMP, which serves as a long-term road map for future planning, planting, maintenance, and tree equity of the City’s urban forest was released for a thirty-day (30) public review and comment period on October 20, 2023, and the resulting UFMP is pending CAL FIRE review.
Per the grant application, the City committed to coordinating, where possible, with the California Conservation Corps for planting of trees for completion of the grant agreement. As such, the California Conservation Corps (CCC), Monterey Bay Center, responded to the City’s request and have confirmed upon execution of an agreement. Prior to scheduling the CCC for work, a Sponsorship Agreement between CCC and the City of Salinas is required. CCC has estimated the labor for placement of approximately 300 trees to be $62,400. If the agreement is executed and Page | 2
the planting work is completed by the CCC, the City will have fulfilled its commitment to utilize the CCC, where possible, per the grant agreement.
Planting of the 300 trees is expected to commence upon adoption of the UFMP and completed before March 30, 2026, which is the end date of the grant performance period. 270 trees will be planted in City parks and 70 trees will be planted in residential areas. Species of trees will be selected in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the UFMP and the net greenhouse gas benefit requirements established in the grant agreement.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Statutory Exemptions. City of Salinas has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Section 15301(c) “Existing facilities”, Class1) because the project proposes to repair, maintain, and alter existing facilities. Class 1 categorically exempts the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines states that the types of “existing facilities” include, but are not limited to, existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails and similar facilities.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This action supports the Council’s Strategic Goal of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability by providing a plan to improve the urban canopy and reduce greenhouse gases. It supports the Council’s Strategic Goal of Effective and Culturally Responsive Government by including several equity analyses that could support a citywide equity plan.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works staff and Finance staff have collaborated on the funding of the Urban and Community Forest Grant Program. The Maintenance and Water, Waste, and Energy (WWE) divisions within Public Works will coordinate efforts to manage onsite tree planting activities.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding for the Tree Planting Forest Management Plan is available and appropriated in 5800.50.9043. Additional funding was included in the FY 24-25 Proposed Budget for the purchase of trees and equipment necessary for planting.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: JENNY DAVILA, PUBLIC WORKS ADMIN. SUPERVISOR
TITLE: FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CINTAS INCORPORATED UNIFORM
SERVICES AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Fifth Amendment to the services agreement with Cintas Uniform, Incorporated for laundry and rental services in an amount not to exceed $89,750.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff relies on uniform laundry and rental services to maintain an acceptable and professional dress code. For the past 4 years, Cintas Incorporated (“Cintas”) has provided the City with uniform laundry and rental services. After review, staff feels that it would be beneficial to extend the current agreement with Cintas for uniform laundry and rental services without disruption.
BACKGROUND:
A Request for Proposals for laundry services was issued in May of 2020. On August 4, 2020, the City entered into a 3-year agreement with Cintas Incorporation for Uniform Rental and Laundry Services in the amount of $53,402. At that time, Uniform Rental and Laundry Services were based on a total of 58 employees.
Amendment 1 adding the Salinas Airport personnel to the agreement was signed on August 26, 2020, increasing the contract amount to $55,902.
Amendment 2 was approved on July 15, 2021, to increase payment terms for an increase in the level of expected services, bringing the agreement to a new total of $61,902. Because of the additional increase in services, Amendment 2 did not provide for a sufficient increase to cover those services for the remainder of the agreement.
Amendment 3 was signed May 16, 2023, increasing the final total of the agreement to $75,152.
Page | 2
Amendment 4 was signed July 13, 2023, extending the Agreement for one year and an increase to the amount not to exceed $77,652 with a 10% contingency that would account for changes in staffing for the term of the agreement.
On May 13, 2024, Cintas reached out to request the final extension of the agreement for one year per the contract term verbiage in the original RFP. Staff recommends the approval of the extension for an amount not to exceed $89,750 annually for the final term of the agreement.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The long-term agreement for these services, relates to the City Council’s Vision and Strategic Goal of Operational Efficiency due to the time savings that will occur from seeking out a different vendor to accommodate City schedule and needs. By extending the services per the terms of the original agreement for a period of one year, our staff will maintain the professional and acceptable dress code that is currently in place.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works Administration and Maintenance Divisions worked closely in the preparation, publication and review of the Request for Proposals that was the original resolution number 21925, as well as any amendments that were addressed thereafter.
