City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: March 1, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Genoveva Rocha, City Clerk
Department: City Clerk
Subject: Resolution Approving and Adopting an Amended
Conflict of Interest Code Pursuant to the Political
Reform Act of 1974
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution No. 2023-34 approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974.

Background
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a Conflict of Interest Code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their Codes as necessary, as directed by the code-reviewing body or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). A Conflict of Interest Code requires certain employees who are most likely to be in a government decision making capacity, and where potential conflicts may occur, to file an annual disclosure form. This Statement of Economic Interest Form, also known as the Form 700, provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways:

1. It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances; and

2. It serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.

Discussion
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (the “Act”), the City Council directed staff to: (1)

Packet Pg.
12 conduct a review of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”) to determine if a change in the Code was necessary; (2) file a biennial notice regarding the results of the review no later than the required deadline; and (3) amend the City’s Code pursuant to the Act, if necessary.

Attached is a legislative (redlined) version of the proposed amended Code. The proposed revisions are based on the establishment and recognition of new positions that must be designated, the revision of titles of existing positions, and deletion of position titles that have been abolished and/or positions that no longer make or participate in making governmental decisions.

The disclosure categories listed below identify the types of economic interests that the designated position must disclose for each disclosure category to which the designated position is assigned. “Investment” means financial interest in any business entity (including a consulting business or other independent contracting business) and are reportable if they are either located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or have done business during the previous two years in the jurisdiction of the City.

The revised disclosure categories are:

Category 1: All investments and business positions and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, that are located in, do business in, or own real property within the jurisdiction of the City.

Category 2: All interests in real property which is located in whole or in part within, or not more than two (2) miles outside, the boundaries of the City, including any leasehold, beneficial or ownership interest or option to acquire property.

Category 3: All investments and business positions in, business entities, and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, that are engaged in land development, construction or the acquisition or sale of real property within the jurisdiction of the City.

Category 4: All investments, business positions and income from business entities and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, that provide services, products, materials, machinery, vehicles or equipment of a type purchased or leased by the City.

Category 5: All investments, business positions and income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, that provide services, products, materials, machinery, vehicles or equipment of a type purchased or leased by the designated position’s department, unit, or division.

Packet Pg.
13 Category 6: All investment and business positions in business entities and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, subject to the regulatory, permit, licensing authority of the designated employee’s department, unit, or division.

Category 6: All investment and business positions in business entities and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, subject to the regulatory, permit, licensing authority of the designated employee’s department, unit, or division.

Category 7: All investments and business positions in business entities, and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, or income from a nonprofit organization, if the source is of the type to receive grants or other monies from or through the City or its subdivisions.

Category 8: All investments and business positions in business entities, and sources of income, including gifts, loans, and travel payments, if such entities or sources have filed claims against the agency in the past 2 years, or have a claim pending before the agency.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for adopting the amended conflict of interest code aligns with Key Target No. 1e: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity - Minimize Risk and litigation exposure. The code helps identify potential conflicts of interest; the law requires public officials and employees in designated positions in a conflict of interest code to report their financial interests on a form called Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City in adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution No. 2023-34 approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: March 1, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
David Miranda, Violence Intervention Program Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Approve Professional Services Agreement with
Southern California Crossroads for Hospital-based
Community Violence Intervention Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Southern California Crossroads for hospital-based community violence intervention services; and

2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a Purchase Order to Southern California Crossroads in a total amount not to exceed $1,160,000.00.

Background
On February 8, 2022, the Office of the City Manager, Violence Intervention Program (VIP), submitted a proposal to the California Board of State & Community Corrections, Violence Intervention & Prevention Grant program. The grant submission by the City was focused on building capacity for the San Bernardino Violence Intervention Program, specifically hospital-based violence intervention services. On July 8, 2022, staff received a notification that the City’s grant submission was approved. At the September 21, 2022, Mayor and City Council meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to administer the grant program on behalf of the City, in an award amount of $3,800,000.00. The Board of State & Community Corrections grant program period of performance ends December 31, 2025.

The Community Violence Intervention Program takes a public health approach to reducing shootings and homicides, focusing on interrupting violence and the transmission

8 of norms that promote it. Using a multi-pronged approach to prevent shootings involving youth and young adults, the model relies on the use of culturally appropriate staff who respond to shootings to prevent retaliation and detect and resolve conflicts that are likely to lead to shootings. Program staff develop relationships with high-risk individuals who are likely to engage in gun violence and link them with resources such as education and job training. Additionally, staff collaborates with neighborhood organizations and community groups to organize neighborhood events and public education activities that promote a no-shooting message. The strategy aims to change behaviors, attitudes, and social norms directly related to gun violence.

The program aims to stop the spread of violence by using the methods and strategies associated with disease control:

1. Detecting and interrupting conflicts—trained violence interrupters and outreach workers prevent shootings by identifying and mediating potentially lethal conflicts in the community and following up to ensure that the conflict does not reignite. a. Prevent Retaliations: Whenever a shooting happens, trained staff immediately work in the community and at the hospital to cool down emotions and prevent retaliations – working with the victims, friends and family of the victim, and anyone else related to the event.
b. Mediate Ongoing Conflicts: Workers identify ongoing conflicts by talking to key people in the community about ongoing disputes, recent arrests, recent prison releases, and other situations, and utilize mediation techniques to resolve them peacefully.
c. Keep Conflicts ‘Cool’: Workers follow up with conflicts for as long as needed, sometimes for months, to ensure that the conflict does not become violent.

2. Identifying and treating the highest risk individuals—trained, culturally-appropriate outreach workers engage with the highest risk individuals to make them less likely to commit violence by meeting them where they are, talking to them about the costs of using violence, and helping them to obtain the social services they need – such as job training and drug treatment.
a. Access Highest Risk: Workers utilize their trust with high-risk individuals to establish contact, develop relationships, begin to work with the people most likely to be involved in violence.
b. Change Behaviors: Workers engage with high-risk individuals to convince them to reject the use of violence by discussing the cost and consequences of violence and teaching alternative responses to situations.

8 c. Provide Treatment: Workers develop a caseload of clients who they work with intensively – seeing several times a week and assisting with their needs such as drug treatment, employment, leaving gangs.

3. Mobilizing the community to change norms—workers engage leaders in the community as well as community residents, local business owners, faith leaders, service providers, and the high risk, conveying the message that the residents, groups, and the community do not support the use of violence.
a. Respond to Every Shooting: Whenever a shooting occurs, workers organize a response where dozens of community members voice their objection to the shooting.
b. Organize Community: Workers coordinate with existing and establish new block clubs, tenant councils, and neighborhood associations to assist. c. Spread Positive Norms: Program distributes materials and hosts events to convey the message that violence is not acceptable.

Discussion
In the City’s application to the Violence Intervention & Prevention Grant program, staff proposed securing a nonprofit agency with extensive experience providing hospital- based, community violence intervention and prevention services, specifically with experience implementing summer violence reduction strategies, training, and evaluation capacity. In order to retain a violence intervention service provider, while adhering to the proposal approved by the Board of State & Community Corrections grant program, staff identified Southern California Crossroads as the best fit for the services required.

Southern California Crossroads is registered nonprofit corporation - public benefit in good standing with the California Secretary of State and the Franchise Tax Board that provides community violence intervention and prevention services. As an expert in the field, SoCal Crossroads has over 18 years of proven capacity of providing supportive services to youth and young adults in the areas of violence prevention, intervention, hospital-based and school-based services across Southern California.

Crossroad’s experience as a violence intervention and prevention provider in Los Angeles County and their extensive work with victims of crime in trauma centers qualifies the agency to receive a professional service agreement for the City’s violence intervention program supportive services expansion. Crossroads currently provides community violence intervention Services in Los Angeles County Parks through Safe Passages, City of Compton, Willowbrook, Lennox, Lynwood, and school-based services in over 20 campuses in Los Angeles County. Crossroads currently provides youth services in

8 Gardena, Watts, and community engagement in North Hollywood. Crossroads is the Hospital Based Violence Intervention provider for California Hospital, Harbor UCLA and St. Francis.

Crossroads employees are cross-trained in trauma-informed case management, data collection, and local evaluation practices. Crossroads has led and implemented is the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program (HBVI) services in Los Angeles. HBVI provides comprehensive case management services to victims of violent crimes that arrive at partner trauma centers. HBVI services begin at the bedside and continue post- discharge. Services include linkages to gang intervention, victim services, employment services, and mental health to help address the psychological trauma and risk of re-injury.

HBVI accommodates the needs of clients by working with partners and community-based organizations to provide quality services as well as our Street Outreach Team to prevent further incidents in the community.

A request for proposals (RFP) was not conducted for this professional agreement. All three of the existing local VIP service providers that could be considered are already receiving American Rescue Plan Act funds for VIP related services from the City.

Furthermore, outside of agreements with the City, staff believe these service providers are fully funded and at capacity with multi-year contracts with other local agencies such as Loma Linda University Hospital, San Bernardino County Probation Department, San Bernardino School District, Department of Justice, and the Bureau of Justice Administration- Project Safe Neighborhoods. Staff do not believe there are additional qualified local vendors that can perform the required services outside of Southern California Crossroads. In the previous two bid requests, the same three existing providers submitted proposals and were awarded an agreement with the City; no other qualified local vendors responded to bid requests.

In an effort to streamline and fulfill the City’s agreement with the California Board of State & Community Corrections, the staff prepared and submitted single source justification request (in lieu of a full RFP) to the City’s procurement office for this agreement. Upon review, the procurement manager approved single source request for the professional services agreement with Southern California Crossroads. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving professional services agreement aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life. Having more hybrid professionals such as Street Outreach Workers and Case Managers in community and San Bernardino hospitals increases the program’s ability to reach more residents impacted by violence.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with this action. The agreement is fully funded by the Board of State & Community Corrections grant.

1. Why is the acquisition restricted to this good/service/supplier? (Explain why the acquisition cannot be competitively bid). Please enter answer below:

The acquisition is not restricted to Southern California Crossroads. The City’s Violence Intervention Program currently has three fully funded local non-profit organizations—Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy, H.O.P.E. Culture, Inc., and Operation New Hope—providing community violence intervention services. All existing violence intervention program service providers are fully funded by the California Board of State & Community Corrections (BSCC), Violence Intervention & Prevention grant program (CalVIP) and or American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The city has released three “Request for Proposals” within the last four years of program implementation, each RFP was open for 45 calendar days. In the last bid in 2022, the City Council approved $1 million dollars of American Rescue Plan Act Funds as an effort to secure three additional vendors, however, after two bid requests the same three exiting providers prepared and submitted proposals, and, as a result all three received an award funded by the American Rescue Plan Act funds, no other qualified local vendors responded to bid requests.

In addition to local non-profit and existing service provider, Victory Outreach doing business as H.O.P.E.

Culture Inc., Southern California Crossroads’ contract will be fully funded by the California Board of State & Community Correction, Violence Intervention & Prevention grant program.

2. Describe the uniqueness of the purchase (why was the good/service/supplier chosen?) Please enter the answer below:

Southern California Crossroads’ (Crossroads) is minority led, and its mission is to provide safety and healing for individuals and communities who have been impacted by trauma caused by violence.

Crossroads is a non-profit 501c(3) organization with over 18 years of proven capacity, serving underserved youth and young adults in the areas of violence prevention, intervention, hospital-based and school-based services across the county and Southern California. Crossroads has the experience as an violence intervention provider in Los Angeles County and through working with victims of crime in

Packet Pg.
97 trauma centers as Hospital Based Violence Intervention providers in 5 hospitals currently. Crossroads currently provides Community Violence Intervention Services in Los Angeles County Parks through Safe Passages, City of Compton, Willowbrook, Lennox, Lynwood, and school-based services in over 20 campuses in Los Angeles County. Crossroads currently provides youth services in Gardena, Watts, and community engagement in North Hollywood. Crossroads is the Hospital Based Violence Intervention provider for California Hospital, Harbor UCLA and St Francis all serving various Gang Reduction & Youth Development Zones. All Crossroads employees are cross-trained in trauma-informed case management and data collection practices.

Crossroads has led and implemented is the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program (HBVI) services in Los Angeles. HBVI provides comprehensive case management services to victims of violent crimes that arrive at partner trauma centers. HBVI services begin at the bedside and continue post- discharge. Services include linkages to gang intervention, victim services, employment services, and mental health to help address the psychological trauma and risk of re-injury. HBVI accommodates the needs of clients by working with partners and community-based organizations to provide quality services as well as our Street Outreach Team to prevent further incidents in the community.

Crossroads Victims of Crime Case Managers provide services and support to victims and family with a trauma informed lens and approach. Crossroads understands how critical the period following an incident of violence can be. Victims and family are in a vulnerable state and need advocates to help navigate a process that is not fluid nor forgiving to their circumstance. Crossroads Case Managers will implement the support strategy that includes activating the partners and agreements with law enforcement funeral related vendors, local community-based providers, City and County victims of crime offices. This will reduce the anxiety and further traumatization of a victim and family. Crossroads Case Managers will serve to ensure price gauging is not occurring and will have preestablished arrangements on cost. Additionally, our teams understand that victims and family are in a vulnerable state following an incident of violence and during that state, victim and family can be pulled further into the gang or it can be an opportunity to pull the individuals away from the gang. Crossroads staff work with local community-based organizations and law enforcement to provide and coordinate safe passages.

Crossroads currently works with Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to access Victims of Crime resources for clients, connected with various court houses and in constant communication with law enforcement partners.

Southern California Crossroads’ expertise is unique to the City’s Community Violence Intervention capacity building and program expansion into San Bernardino City Hospitals proposed in the CalVIP grant application.

3. What are the consequences of not purchasing the good/service or contracting with the proposed supplier?
If a professional service agreement contract for violence intervention program supportive services is not executed with Southern California Crossroads, the following consequences may occur:

Packet Pg.
98 1. The city will fall short of fulfilling contractual obligations with the California Board of State & Corrections

2. Delay in city implementing program expansion into local hospitals.

3. Delay State required program evaluation.

4. Result in unspent grant funds.

4. What market research was conducted to substantiate the single source, including evaluation of other items considered? Please provide a narrative of your efforts to identify other similar or appropriate goods/services, including a summary of how the department concluded that such alternative are either inappropriate or unavailable. The names, addresses and phone numbers of suppliers contacted and the reasons for not considering then must be included or an explanation of why the survey or effort to identify other goods/services was not performed.

Community Violence intervention program services are highly specialized & unique. Although the field is now being recognized nationally, there remains very few local non-profits with the ability to implement community violence intervention program services. As we learned through the last three request for proposals and 4 years of program implementation, there are limited local non-profits with the City of San Bernardino. The City’s current violence intervention services providers are fully funded and at capacity—contracted with City of San Bernardino, Loma Linda University Hospital, San Bernardino County Probation Department, San Bernardino School District, Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Administration- Project Safe Neighborhoods, and receiving private unrestricted funds.

Request for Council Action
Date: March 1, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely; Interim City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department: Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED) Subject: Resolution Declaring Intent to Annex Territory:

Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance
Services): Annexation No. 29, Tax Zone No. 30 (Valley
View Industrial) (Ward 3)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-032 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, declaring its intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino, adopting a map of the area to be proposed (Annexation No. 29) and authorizing the levy of a special taxes therein.

Background
On June 5, 2019, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2019-81 establishing Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the "CFD No. 2019-1" or "District") for the purpose of levying special taxes on parcels of taxable property to provide certain services which are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City.

Discussion
On July 17, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-178, establishing CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”). CFD No. 2019-1 allows for the levy of special taxes on parcels of taxable property for the purpose of providing certain services which are necessary to meet increased demands placed by development upon the City.

Development projects are subject to conditions of approval that require projects to form/annex a maintenance district. These districts apply an annual fee or special tax upon properties within the District which provide the revenue to offset the cost of

Packet Pg.
101

maintenance of the public improvements necessary to serve the development. The Developer has agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the Act. To that end, the Developer has submitted a "Consent and Waiver" form, which is on file in the City Clerk's office that authorizes the City to (1) hold the election and declare election results; (2) shorten election time requirements; (3) waive analysis and arguments; (4) waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.

The public facilities and services proposed to be financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:
•Public lighting and appurtenant facilities, including streetlights within public rights- of-way and traffic signals; and
•Maintenance of streets, including pavement management; and •City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract administration and for the collection of reserve funds.

The proposed development includes approximately 3.28 gross acres of a vacant industrial lot. The property is located on S Valley View Ave in between E Central Ave and E Mill St. At build out, this development will include a 65,963 sq. ft. industrial warehouse as a new Tax Zone No. 30 within CFD No. 2019-1, as shown in the boundary map and included in the Resolution of Intention as Exhibit “D”. In order to annex into CFD No. 2019-1, a Resolution of Intention to annex property must be approved to identify the facilities to be maintained and establish the maximum special tax for this Tax Zone. The Resolution of Intention shall also set the date and time for the public hearing.

The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax for this Tax Zone, (Tax Zone No. 30), is included as Exhibit “C” to the Resolution of Intention. The maximum annual special tax for this development has been calculated to be $1,294 per acre for FY 2023/24. This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $922 per unit per year for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Annual Special Tax B (Contingent) of $372 per unit per year. Special Tax B (Contingent) is for the maintenance and operation of the improvements described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto. If the Property Owners Association (POA) were to default of its obligation to maintain such improvements, the City would be able to collect funds to pay for those services. Annual Special Tax A and Annual Special Tax B (Contingent) rate are proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%.

Exhibit “H”, attached to the staff report is a maintenance exhibit to illustrate which services are being maintained by the CFD and by the POA.

In order to annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below.

•Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special tax applies only to properties within the annexation area). •Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District. •Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the notice of special tax lien.
•Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the District.

With the adoption of the Resolution of Intention, the Public Hearing would be scheduled for April 5, 2023.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No 4. Economic Growth & Development. This project will contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure designed for long term economic growth.

Fiscal Impact
The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the development, it is estimated that there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $2,767 from Special Tax A to be used to pay for maintenance costs.

On March 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD will be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.

All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.

By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the development will be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD No. 2019-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-032 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, declaring its intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino, adopting a map of the area to be proposed (Annexation No. 29) and authorizing the levy of a special taxes therein.

From: Charles E. McNeely Interim City Manager;
Ed Erjavek, Library Director
Department: Library
Subject: Library Revenue and Expense Budget (All Wards) Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 2023-033 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Accepting funding of $10,303 from the Inland Library System, $8,671.27 from CTC Technology & Energy and $200 from San Bernardino Emblem Club No. 178.

2. Authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget for the Library including $19,174.27 in both revenues and expenditures.

Background
San Bernardino Public Library (SBPL) has recently received additional revenue from three sources:
•$10,303 from the Inland Library System (ILS) for electronic resources for patrons.
•$8,671.27 overpayment refund.

The Library participates in a consortium that provides internet access to public libraries throughout the state. 90% of the cost is funded by the federal E-Rate program, which provides funding for public libraries to provide internet access to patrons. The majority of the City’s funding is in the form of discounts in the cost of internet services. The $8,671.27 is a refund for an overpayment by the City.

The payment comes from CTC Technology & Energy, which is an independent communications and technology consulting firm that serves as the fiscal agent for this program.

•A $200 donation was received from the San Bernardino Emblem Club No.178 for children’s projects and/or books.

Discussion
The funds listed above need to be added to the Library revenue and expense budget.

The $10,303 in ILS funds are for e-content and have traditionally been dedicated to purchasing Overdrive eBook and eAudiobook content for library cardholders. The $8,671.27 refunded overpayment is discretionary and will be added to the Library expense budget where it is most needed.

2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The acceptance and administration of this funding aligns with Key Target No. 1:

Financial Stability and Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life, with customer service.

Fiscal Impact
There is no net impact to the General Fund with this recommendation. The General Fund FY 2022/23 Operating Budget will be amended by $19,174.27 in both revenue and expenditures.

Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-033 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Accepting funding of $10,303 from the Inland Library System, $8,671.27 from CTC Technology and $200 from San Bernardino Emblem Club No. 178.

Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Task Order Issued to Willdan Engineering for Augmented Engineering Services Pursuant to Professional Service
Agreement for On-Call Engineering Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California,

1. Approve a Task Order Willdan Engineering001 to Willdan Engineering to provide augmented Land Development and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Programmatic Services pursuant to the approved Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for On-Call Engineering Services; and

2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $99,720.00.

Background
On November 16, 2022, the City Council approved a standard Professional Service Agreement with 24 Engineering firms to provide the following services:
•Street Construction Projects that will require DOT Traffic Control Designs •Storm Drain Projects
•Wastewater Projects
•Structural Design and Construction Projects
•Environmental Consulting
•Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
•Surveying Services
•Landscaping Design
•Construction Inspection and Construction Management

Packet Pg.

•Architecture
•Civil Engineering
•Mechanical Engineering
•Electrical Engineering
•Plumbing Engineering
•Project Management/Staff Augmentation
The selection of the firms was based on each consultant meeting the pre-qualified requirements, licensing, and certifications without being debarred, suspended, or ineligible from bidding or accepting work from any State of California or Federal contracts.

Discussion
The City of San Bernardino processed 1,020 land development permit applications in year 2022. The number of land development permit applications that the Public Works Department received and processed have increased by 100 percent in the last year from the previous years. These permits include on-site improvement/grading permit, off-site improvement permit, landscape plan permit, ROW encroachment permit, tract/parcel map, lot line adjustment, lot merger, Water Quality Management Plan, best management practices plan, erosion control plan, and stormwater pollution prevention plan. The NPDES program ensures that the City complies with the NPDES and MS4 Program regulated by the California State Regional Water Quality Control Board.

Due to the increased workload of the Land Development Manager who is currently serving as the Acting City Engineer/Deputy Director of Engineering and the high demand of the large volume and many complex land development projects and sensitive NPDES subject matters, staff seeks to issue a task order (Attachment 1- Exhibit B) pursuant to the approved PSA to provide professional engineering and program management services related to managing the City’s Land Development and NPDES Program. This will allow the department to continue implementing the Land Development and NPDES program while maintaining a high level of customer service.

Staff will work with the consultant program managers to continuously improve the land development workflow process and efficiency and to update and implement the post- construction NPDES database and inspection program.

On January 27, 2023, staff requested proposals to provide Land Development and NPDES Programmatic Services. Two (2) responses to the RFP were received on February 10, 2023.

Firm Name Location Proposed Amount
Willdan Engineering Inc. San Bernardino, CA $99,720.00
Transtech Engineers Chino, CA* $126,000.00
Note- Transtech Engineers has a local office in San Bernardino.

Packet Pg.
201

Each firm proposed a different approach to provide the Land Development and NPDES Programmatic Services based on a requested 40 hours per week as indicated in the RFP.

A selection committee consisting of Public Works management level staff reviewed the two proposals and conducted firm interviews. Willdan Engineering received superior ratings in the following categories: necessary related experience, adequacy of staff, depth of understanding of the City’s Land Development and NPDES needs and approach to augment staff.

As indicated in their proposal and further elaborated in their presentation, Willdan Engineering has extensive experience throughout Los Angeles and San Bernardino County and provided an extensive and thorough transition plan which staff found to be effective.

Lastly, it‘s important to note that the approved PSA at the time of preparing the staff report was in the signature routing process. Willdan Engineering will not be issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP) until the PSA is fully executed. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This task order is consistent with Key Target No. 1f: Improved Operational and Financial Capacity - Create an asset management plan. Approval of this comprehensive and formal approach will support the City with the long-term management of capital assets and provide strategic practices to effectively deliver community benefits and economic growth.

Fiscal Impact
As indicated in the November 16, 2022, staff report, any project with a total budget estimated to exceed $50,000 will be presented to the City Council for approval prior to authorizing a notice to proceed on the Task Order.

Submitted via: Email

Subject: Proposal for Land Development and NPDES Program Management Services

The City of San Bernardino (City) is seeking professional engineering and program management services related to implementing the City’s Land Development and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) programs.

Willdan Engineering (Willdan) has been providing specialized solutions tailored to the unique needs of municipalities and other local government agencies for over 59 years and with the City of San Bernardino for 46 years. Our firm's commitment to responsive service and successful project delivery has given us a reputation as a firm that can be trusted to listen and to deliver a product our clients envision and embrace.

The Team - Willdan’s proposed Project Manager, Joseph Bellomo, PE, QSD/P is a Principal Project Manager at Willdan, and he will have overall responsibility for the services we provide. Since 2004, Mr.

Bellomo and his team have implemented and managed all aspects of the municipal NPDES Permit for many Willdan clients. Currently, he provides city engineering services to two cities and manages a team that implements NPDES permit compliance programs for ten municipal clients in three counties under the jurisdiction of two regional water quality control boards. For this contract, Mr. Bellomo will be supported by Emilio De Murga, PE and Johnny Ghazal, PE, QSD/P, both of whom have experience of working for the City and years of land development and plan checking experience. Supporting their efforts will be Kelsey Reed, CESSWI, QSP, HAZWOPER, and a team of highly qualified Environmental Analysts and inspectors capable of managing and implementing all aspects of the municipal, industrial, and construction general NPDES permits.

The Approach - The services Mr. Ghazal currently provide the City coupled with Mr. De Murga’s previous onsite support provided to the City will ensure a seamless transition from the current manager of Land Development and coordination with City personnel and plan checking services. Willdan will provide 40 hours per week of onsite staffing divided between Mr. Bellomo, Mr. De Murga, and Mr. Ghazal, at highly reduced hourly rates. They will be supported by the remaining team offsite. An onsite pres ence will ensure proper communication with City leadership, and directions and guidance are effectively disseminated to the City’s land development and inspection personnel.

The Availability - Willdan has been an integral part of the San Bernardino community since 1977.

Willdan's team will continue to be managed and coordinated through our local full-service San Bernardino office, just 3.5 miles to the City’s office – making Willdan conveniently located and responsive to the City’s requests. Willdan’s comprehensive capabilities will ensure continuity, efficiency, cost effectiveness, quality, and adequate resources – and give the City maximum control over its workload. Willdan has the capacity to rapidly reassign project workloads to an expanded team of subject matter experts from our corporate resources to keep pace with the City’s requirements.

Scope of Services
Land Development Program Services
Willdan provides engineering plan review services for a variety of land development projects. The work encompasses revi ew of improvement plans, including street plans, traffic signal plans, striping plans, drainage plans, roadway, sewer, water, grading plans, erosion and sediment control plans and storm water quality and SWPPP documents. The Engineering review is done by licensed civil engineers, with support from technical staff. Our civil engineers draw from their municipal expertise to coordinate the land development review such that all agency conditions of approval, regulatory permitting, engineering standards and po licies are complied with and that good engineering practices are followed in general. This includes performing a project site visit, review, and application of information from the soils, geologic and seismic reports, fire flow calculations, sewer reports, mapping and related documents, easements, cost estimates and planning documents such as approved site plans and conditions of approval. The Willdan team is adept at coordinating a complete land development review from project inception and conditioning through approval and permitting and final as built and acceptance procedures. Willdan has developed a detailed in-house civil review checklist specifically for use on City of San Bernardino projects. Our checklist summarizes the City’s requirements and ex pectations to ensure all review staff perform consistent and comprehensive reviews of each project.

Staff Augmentation
Our understanding of the needs and challenges facing public agencies is unmatched in the industry.

Willdan's professionals often serve to extend our clients' staff as city engineers and other public agency positions ranging from full-time, in-house staffing to interim or part-time assistance. We have highly trained, experienced staff to complete or enhance local agency staffing. A significant portion of our staff has served in public agency management positions prior to joining Willdan, infusing our organization with an in - depth understanding of the issues driving local governments.

Electronic Plan Review
Willdan has long had the ability to provide plan review services electronically, at no additional cost to the City or applicants. The many advantages of our “tree-saving” electronic plan review process includes the elimination of the need for additional computer software or har dware–only an Internet connection is necessary. Electronic plan review services are provided at the request of the applicant or the agency we serve. Submittals are accepted in PDF format and reviewed in Bluebeam. Willdan will review plans and can transmit the redlined plans back to the applicant or designer via the website, along with the plan review comment sheet. This service allows for on-line collaboration between the City, designer and plans examiner to facilitate a complete understanding of plan r eview comments and can reduce shipping, printing, and timelines for plan review processing for the applicant. Our EPR portal also serves as an accurate log of all plans coming in and going out. City staff will have full access to the site and will have the ability to check status, review redlines, comments, etc.

NPDES Program Management
Since the adoption of the first municipal NPDES Permit for Los Angeles County in June 1990, Willdan has provided professional permit and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) management and review services for many municipalities. The following are various levels of services Willdan provides to its clients:

Management Services
Page | 5
Program Management – When called upon for help with NPDES Programs, the majority of Willdan’s clients rely on the firm for full permit and TMDL program management services. This typically includes the preparation of fiscal year budgets, reports, and presentations to city staff and city council; preparation of annual reports and presentations to regulators; development and management of service contracts, multiagency agreements, and compliance programs; coordination with watershed partners, regulators and at times non-governmental organizations and managing city service personnel.

Full/Partial Minimum Control Measure (MCM) Implementation – Using a full range of administrative and field activities, Willdan has experience ensuring compliance with the Municipal NPDES Permit – Stormwater Management Minimum Control Measures. This includes compliance activities associated with public information and public participation, industrial/commercial (I/C) facilities, planning and land development, development construction, public agency activities, and illicit discharge/illicit connection management. We also augment our clients existing resources, as well as train city staff to take over NPDES Permit requirements such as inspections or the entire compliance program.

Development Plan Review Services – As part of the project development review process required by past Municipal NPDES Permits as well as the current Permit, Willdan provides professional engineering related review services for public and private projects subject to the conditioning and approval for design and implementation of stormwater mitigation measures. This includes Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) and Low Impact Development (LID) standards for new development, redevelopment, and SWPPP for compliance with the State’s General Permit for construction activities. As a result, Willdan has a comprehensive understanding of proper site design, source control measures and the ability to implement appropriate best management practices (BMPs).

Watershed Management Plan/Program Group Representation – Willdan has in-depth knowledge of the development and implementation of Watershed Management Programs (WMP). Throughout Willdan’s participation in multiple WMP groups, our staff has negotiated multiagency contracts and agreements, actively participated in the development process of the WMP and its Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and has collaborated and participated in meetings with group partners and Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) staff. In addition, Willdan has assisted in the development of presentations to the Regional Board, multiagency agreements, CIMP implementation, and multiagency cost-sharing formulas.

TMDL Programs and Studies – From the review of Regional Board developed draft Basin Plan Amendments to addressing TMDL requirements, Willdan has years of experien ce. Quite often Willdan finds itself representing multiple clients with a common interest in the same watershed. These situations provide opportunities for our firm to take on lead watershed roles for the betterment of its clients, especially concerning TMDLs. For example, on behalf of the cities of Agoura Hills, Hidden Hills, and Westlake Village, Mr. Bellomo developed and currently manages, the Malibu Creek Watershed CIMP that reduces the cost to each client on common tasks and ensures the issues of the clients are addressed with efficiency. Another example is a project Willdan designed, managed, and inspected installation of Connector Pipe Screens and Automatic Retractable Screens full capture devices for more the 20 municipal clients in southern California putting those clients ahead of the regulatory curve on the State’s Trash Policy and TMDLs.

Submitted via: Email

Subject: Proposal for Land Development and NPDES Program Management Services

The City of San Bernardino (City) is seeking professional engineering and program management services related to implementing the City’s Land Development and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) programs.

Willdan Engineering (Willdan) has been providing specialized solutions tailored to the unique needs of municipalities and other local government agencies for over 59 years and with the City of San Bernardino for 46 years. Our firm's commitment to responsive service and successful project delivery has given us a reputation as a firm that can be trusted to listen and to deliver a product our clients envision and embrace.

The Team - Willdan’s proposed Project Manager, Joseph Bellomo, PE, QSD/P is a Principal Project Manager at Willdan, and he will have overall responsibility for the services we provide. Since 2004, Mr.

Bellomo and his team have implemented and managed all aspects of the municipal NPDES Permit for many Willdan clients. Currently, he provides city engineering services to two cities and manages a team that implements NPDES permit compliance programs for ten municipal clients in three counties under the jurisdiction of two regional water quality control boards. For this contract, Mr. Bellomo will be supported by Emilio De Murga, PE and Johnny Ghazal, PE, QSD/P, both of whom have experience of working for the City and years of land development and plan checking experience. Supporting their efforts will be Kelsey Reed, CESSWI, QSP, HAZWOPER, and a team of highly qualified Environmental Analysts and inspectors capable of managing and implementing all aspects of the municipal, industrial, and construction general NPDES permits.

The Approach - The services Mr. Ghazal currently provide the City coupled with Mr. De Murga’s previous onsite support provided to the City will ensure a seamless transition from the current manager of Land Development and coordination with City personnel and plan checking services. Willdan will provide 40 hours per week of onsite staffing divided between Mr. Bellomo, Mr. De Murga, and Mr. Ghazal, at highly reduced hourly rates. They will be supported by the remaining team offsite. An onsite pres ence will ensure proper communication with City leadership, and directions and guidance are effectively disseminated to the City’s land development and inspection personnel.

The Availability - Willdan has been an integral part of the San Bernardino community since 1977.

Willdan's team will continue to be managed and coordinated through our local full-service San Bernardino office, just 3.5 miles to the City’s office – making Willdan conveniently located and responsive to the City’s requests. Willdan’s comprehensive capabilities will ensure continuity, efficiency, cost effectiveness, quality, and adequate resources – and give the City maximum control over its workload. Willdan has the capacity to rapidly reassign project workloads to an expanded team of subject matter experts from our corporate resources to keep pace with the City’s requirements.

Scope of Services
Land Development Program Services
Willdan provides engineering plan review services for a variety of land development projects. The work encompasses revi ew of improvement plans, including street plans, traffic signal plans, striping plans, drainage plans, roadway, sewer, water, grading plans, erosion and sediment control plans and storm water quality and SWPPP documents. The Engineering review is done by licensed civil engineers, with support from technical staff. Our civil engineers draw from their municipal expertise to coordinate the land development review such that all agency conditions of approval, regulatory permitting, engineering standards and po licies are complied with and that good engineering practices are followed in general. This includes performing a project site visit, review, and application of information from the soils, geologic and seismic reports, fire flow calculations, sewer reports, mapping and related documents, easements, cost estimates and planning documents such as approved site plans and conditions of approval. The Willdan team is adept at coordinating a complete land development review from project inception and conditioning through approval and permitting and final as built and acceptance procedures. Willdan has developed a detailed in-house civil review checklist specifically for use on City of San Bernardino projects. Our checklist summarizes the City’s requirements and ex pectations to ensure all review staff perform consistent and comprehensive reviews of each project.

Staff Augmentation
Our understanding of the needs and challenges facing public agencies is unmatched in the industry.

Willdan's professionals often serve to extend our clients' staff as city engineers and other public agency positions ranging from full-time, in-house staffing to interim or part-time assistance. We have highly trained, experienced staff to complete or enhance local agency staffing. A significant portion of our staff has served in public agency management positions prior to joining Willdan, infusing our organization with an in - depth understanding of the issues driving local governments.

Electronic Plan Review
Willdan has long had the ability to provide plan review services electronically, at no additional cost to the City or applicants. The many advantages of our “tree-saving” electronic plan review process includes the elimination of the need for additional computer software or har dware–only an Internet connection is necessary. Electronic plan review services are provided at the request of the applicant or the agency we serve. Submittals are accepted in PDF format and reviewed in Bluebeam. Willdan will review plans and can transmit the redlined plans back to the applicant or designer via the website, along with the plan review comment sheet. This service allows for on-line collaboration between the City, designer and plans examiner to facilitate a complete understanding of plan r eview comments and can reduce shipping, printing, and timelines for plan review processing for the applicant. Our EPR portal also serves as an accurate log of all plans coming in and going out. City staff will have full access to the site and will have the ability to check status, review redlines, comments, etc.

NPDES Program Management
Since the adoption of the first municipal NPDES Permit for Los Angeles County in June 1990, Willdan has provided professional permit and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) management and review services for many municipalities. The following are various levels of services Willdan provides to its clients:

Program Management – When called upon for help with NPDES Programs, the majority of Willdan’s clients rely on the firm for full permit and TMDL program management services. This typically includes the preparation of fiscal year budgets, reports, and presentations to city staff and city council; preparation of annual reports and presentations to regulators; development and management of service contracts, multiagency agreements, and compliance programs; coordination with watershed partners, regulators and at times non-governmental organizations and managing city service personnel.

Full/Partial Minimum Control Measure (MCM) Implementation – Using a full range of administrative and field activities, Willdan has experience ensuring compliance with the Municipal NPDES Permit – Stormwater Management Minimum Control Measures. This includes compliance activities associated with public information and public participation, industrial/commercial (I/C) facilities, planning and land development, development construction, public agency activities, and illicit discharge/illicit connection management. We also augment our clients existing resources, as well as train city staff to take over NPDES Permit requirements such as inspections or the entire compliance program.

Development Plan Review Services – As part of the project development review process required by past Municipal NPDES Permits as well as the current Permit, Willdan provides professional engineering related review services for public and private projects subject to the conditioning and approval for design and implementation of stormwater mitigation measures. This includes Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) and Low Impact Development (LID) standards for new development, redevelopment, and SWPPP for compliance with the State’s General Permit for construction activities. As a result, Willdan has a comprehensive understanding of proper site design, source control measures and the ability to implement appropriate best management practices (BMPs).

Watershed Management Plan/Program Group Representation – Willdan has in-depth knowledge of the development and implementation of Watershed Management Programs (WMP). Throughout Willdan’s participation in multiple WMP groups, our staff has negotiated multiagency contracts and agreements, actively participated in the development process of the WMP and its Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and has collaborated and participated in meetings with group partners and Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) staff. In addition, Willdan has assisted in the development of presentations to the Regional Board, multiagency agreements, CIMP implementation, and multiagency cost-sharing formulas.

TMDL Programs and Studies – From the review of Regional Board developed draft Basin Plan Amendments to addressing TMDL requirements, Willdan has years of experien ce. Quite often Willdan finds itself representing multiple clients with a common interest in the same watershed. These situations provide opportunities for our firm to take on lead watershed roles for the betterment of its clients, especially concerning TMDLs. For example, on behalf of the cities of Agoura Hills, Hidden Hills, and Westlake Village, Mr. Bellomo developed and currently manages, the Malibu Creek Watershed CIMP that reduces the cost to each client on common tasks and ensures the issues of the clients are addressed with efficiency. Another example is a project Willdan designed, managed, and inspected installation of Connector Pipe Screens and Automatic Retractable Screens full capture devices for more the 20 municipal clients in southern California putting those clients ahead of the regulatory curve on the State’s Trash Policy and TMDLs.
