Request for Council Action
Date: August 16, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager
Lydie Gutfeld, Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Department: Parks & Recreation & Community Services
Subject: Accept donation from Hillwood in the amount of $20,000 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-132 to:
1. Authorize City Manager to accept the donation from Hillwood in the amount of $20,000; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2023/24 General Fund Operating Budget in both revenue and expenditures by $20,000; and allocate the expenditures to Youth Sports ($10,000) and the Symphony Concert ($10,000) in their respective expenditure accounts.
Executive Summary
The City received a donation from local development agency, Hillwood, in the amount of $20,000 to be used to subsidize the purchase of youth sports jerseys and to help fund a symphony concert at the Roosevelt Bowl, which will be held on September 9, 2023. Staff recommend accepting the donation and authorizing an amended to the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget.
Background
Staff continue to develop and nurture strong relationships with City businesses and organizations. Many events, services, and programs hosted by the City and the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department are driven and supported by
Packet Pg.
275
community-based organizations and local businesses.
Staff were approached by Hillwood, a Perot Company, in early March 2023 to discuss their desire to give back to the community through youth programs and fine arts. Staff recommended programs that are highly sought after such as youth sports programs as well as fine arts performances by groups such as the San Bernardino Symphony to be considered in their donation. Hillwood agreed to provide each program $10,000 for a total of $20,000.
Discussion
Symphony at Roosevelt Bowl
The donation will enable the San Bernardino Symphony consisting of 20 musicians, a singer, and the Maestro to share the stage for an evening performance at the Roosevelt Bowl on September 9, 2023, providing a completely free musical experience for all to enjoy.
The San Bernardino Symphony was first established in the Fall of 1929, it was conceived that communities with access to the arts were stronger and beyond vibrant places than those communities that lacked the access to the arts. This organization for over eighty years has been instrumental with supplying the community with music and the opportunity for music education.
Youth Sports Jerseys
The Youth Sports program has seen a significant increase in participation, which has also increased the cost of the program. The department strives to keep the program as affordable as possible without decreasing service levels. Staff have identified the cost of jerseys for the fiscal year; this donation will allow staff to purchase top-quality jerseys for the participants without passing the cost on to the families. The jerseys will be provided for the following youth sports: basketball, baseball, and soccer.
The City of San Bernardino Youth Sports program has been able to supply the youth residents of the City the opportunity to not only learn and grow in a sport; in addition, the opportunity for creating friendships. During the pandemic of 2020 Youth Sports saw a decline of participants. Since then, staff has been working to increase participation while upgrading the uniforms for tournaments to ensure that young players not only have an opportunity to play a sport, but also can feel a sense of pride and belonging.
By accepting this donation, staff will be able to enhance the community through fine art, music, and youth sports.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This request aligns with Strategic Target No. 2.b. Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community – Build a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the highest quality talent.
Packet Pg.
276
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the city.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-132 to:
1. Authorize City Manager to accept the donation from Hillwood in the amount of $20,000; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2023/24 General Fund Operating Budget in both revenue and expenditures by $20,000; and allocate the expenditures to Youth Sports ($10,000) and the Symphony Concert ($10,000) in their respective expenditure accounts.

Subject: Technical Revision for the Purchase of Cellular Site Simulator Equipment (All Wards)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-133 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing:
1. The City Manager to execute a goods purchase agreement between the City of San Bernardino and Tactical Support Equipment.
2. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a Purchase Order to Tactical Support Equipment in an amount not exceeding $687,000.
Executive Summary
During the original purchasing process, staff identified a bidding error invalidating the initial RFQ. Tactical Support Equipment (TSE) was the winning bidder for the second RFQ process at a cost saving of $161,786 from the prior bid. The Mayor and City Council have previously approved the purchasing and budget amendments necessary to fund the requested equipment, so no additional costs are associated with this request. Staff requests that the Mayor and City Council authorize the execution of a goods purchase agreement with TSE and issuing a purchase order.
Background
The City was awarded $400,000 in UASI grant funding to purchase a Cellular Site Simulator and $25,000 for an appropriate transport vehicle. The City is obligated to cover any remaining balance. In June 2022, the City conducted an open bid solicitation process to purchase Cellular Site Simulator equipment. Tactical Support Equipment (TSE) was the best option bidder based on equipment availability and lowest cost. On November 16, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted resolution 2022-239, approving the Cellular Site Simulator Usage and Privacy Policy and a purchasing agreement between the City of San Bernardino and TSE. The Agency Director of Administrative Services was authorized to transfer $460,000 from the Asset Forfeiture
Packet Pg.
282
Fund into the General Fund to cover the City’s portion of the equipment cost.
Discussion
During purchasing, staff discovered that TSE did not include sales tax in their winning bid. Consequently, the City conducted a new open bid solicitation in March 2023. Once again, TSE was the lowest, best option bidder that met RFQ requirements at a cost savings of $161,786 from the previous bid. TSE is a wholesale vendor and does not pay state tax. TSE calculated the California State Tax for the purchase at $60,112.50, which the City will pay the state upon purchasing the equipment. The total cost for the equipment, including taxes, is $747,112.50.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to spend grant funds to purchase cellular site simulator technology aligns with the following strategic targets and goals: 3. c. Improved Quality of Life: Evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services.
Fiscal Impact
There is no additional fiscal impact with this item. Grant funding and Asset Forfeiture funding for this purchase were previously accepted and is recognized in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-133 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorizing:
1. The City Manager to execute a goods purchase agreement between the City of San Bernardino and Tactical Support Equipment.
2. The Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a Purchase Order to Tactical Support Equipment in an amount not exceeding $687,000.

However, payment for the final Progress Milestone by City will not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any claims or demands which City then has, or can subsequently acquire, against Supplier, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 16, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Award Design Services Agreement for Sierra Way Storm Drain Project (Ward 7)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve the award of a Design Services Agreement with Ludwig Engineering Associates, Inc. in the negotiated amount of $179,820 for the Sierra Way Storm Drain Project.
Executive Summary
This is a design service agreement with Ludwig Engineering Associates to develop plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate for the construction of Sierra Way Storm Drain System. The proposed Sierra Way Storm Drain Project is to capture surface runoff from the street, reduce potential flooding and improve traffic safety during rainy weather. The approved budget for the entire project (including construction) is $3,965,209, allocated in the Storm Drain Construction Fund.
Background
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the citywide storm drain system. The existing drainage conditions for Sierra Way from 31st Street to 40th Street reflect a general flow of surface water southerly with four existing catch basins on Sierra Way at 31st Street.
On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-102 adopting the City’s Annual Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23.
The budget included a capital project for the Sierra Way Storm Drain (“Project”).
Funding to support the Project was established in the amount of $3,965,209.

Staff solicited professional design services to prepare project plans, specifications, and estimates (a bid package), hydrology and hydraulic analysis, utility research, a design survey, traffic control/detour plans, acquisition of County of San Bernardino encroachment permits, environmental clearance, geotechnical investigations, pavement rehabilitation, utility coordination, agency coordination, and post design services (pre-bid meeting attendance and response to RFI). Award of these professional design services is the next step to move forward with the implementation of this project.
Discussion
As there is currently no drainage system in Sierra Way, during rain events the catch basins overflow and the road itself becomes the drainage system. During major rain events, the water level in the street increases significantly and can reach levels that are potentially unsafe for driving.
The new proposed drainage line will be attached to an existing storm drain line, at a junction located at or around the vicinity of Sierra Way and 31st intersection. Storm drain improvements serve the task of carrying rainfall and runoff water away from the street helping to prevent surface flooding.
The proposed improvements will impact jurisdictional drainage areas. A permit will be required from San Bernardino County Flood Control District to connect to the existing storm drain line on Sierra Way at 31st Street.
On October 3, 2022, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services was released on the City’s website. On November 10, 2022, eleven proposals were received by the following firms:

Due to various reasons including staff transition, there was a delay in reviewing and selecting a consultant for the design of the project.
The proposal by Ludwig Engineering Associates, Inc. was reviewed in conformance with RFP requirements, including firm experience, project personnel qualifications, experience in dealing with firm, depth of understanding the project requirements and completeness of information submitted. All firms presented good proposals, but Ludwig Engineering Associates, Inc., a local City of San Bernardino Consultant was selected as they received superior ratings in the areas of related experience, adequacy of staff, completion schedule, depth of understanding, and project approach. Ludwig Engineering, Inc. has extensive experience and successfully completed similar projects for numerous cities statewide and for the City of San Bernardino.
Staff determined that the proposal from Ludwig Engineering Associates, Inc. demonstrates the capability to provide design services for Sierra Way Storm Drain.
Staff negotiated the proposed scope and fees for the project with Ludwig Engineering, Inc. for $179,820. As previously discussed, $3,965,209 was allocated in the Storm Drain Construction Fund for this Project. Staff recommends approval of the award of a design services agreement with Ludwig Engineering, Inc. in the negotiated amount of $179,820 for the improvements of the Sierra Way Storm Drain.
Work shall be completed within 8 months of the Notice to Proceed. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.4: Economic Growth & Development.
Completion of this project will result in public improvements, being constructed that minimize risk and litigation exposure through improving the City’s infrastructure.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Project budget for the proposed work was previously established through approved Storm Drain Construction Fund No. 248 as part of the FY 2022/23 Annual Operating and Capital Budget in the amount of $3,965,209.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to execute a Design Services Agreement with Ludwig Engineering Associates, Inc. in the negotiated amount of $179,820 for the Sierra Way Storm Drain Project.

The City may keep any moneys which would otherwise be payable at any time hereunder and apply the same, or so much as may be necessary therefor, to the payment of any expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Designer is liable under the Agreement or state law.

3.10.7 Registration. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Designer and all subconsultants performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Designer shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants, as applicable.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 16, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely; Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Approve the Rail Storage and Maintenance Facility (“Arrow Maintenance Facility”) Operation and
Maintenance Covenant Agreement for Storm Water
Treatment Devices and Control Measures between the
City and San Bernardino County Transportation
Authority (SBCTA) for the Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP) (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, execute the Rail Storage and Maintenance Facility (aka “Arrow Maintenance Facility”) Operation and Maintenance Covenant Agreement for Storm Water Treatment Devices and Control Measures between the City and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP).
Executive Summary
The Public Works Department is requesting that Mayor and Council approve the Maintenance Covenant Agreement for the Rail Storage and Maintenance Facility.
This agreement will ensure storm water compliance for post-construction pollution prevention requirements. The Arrow Maintenance Facility storm water treatment system will help reduce the discharge of pollutants. There will be no fiscal impact upon execution of this agreement.
Background
The Redlands Passenger Rail Project was designed to reintroduce passenger rail service along the existing railroad right-of-way (ROW), which is owned by San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and links the City of San
Packet Pg.
373

Bernardino in the west to the City of Redlands in the east. The entire Redlands corridor consists of approximately 9-miles of rail segment that extends from the San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot to the University of Redlands. This stretch of rail carries passengers on a route known as the Metrolink Arrow Service. Phase one of the project is recognized as Downtown San Bernardino Passenger Rail Project (DSBPRP) and/or “First Mile”, which involves the extension of the Metrolink regional passenger rail service. It is approximately one mile east from the existing San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot to the new Metrolink commuter rail platforms located near the intersection of Rialto and E Street.
The Rail Storage and Maintenance Facility (aka “Arrow Maintenance Facility”) property is owned by San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA). The property was purchased from BNSF in the 1990s along with other assets used for Metrolink operations. The facility functions as a light maintenance facility for Metrolink services provided by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA). As part of the Redlands Rail Project, the site was reconstructed to maintain the new Diesel Multiple Units (DMU’s) that are used to provide the Metrolink Arrow Service.
Discussion
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit requires post- construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented for both private and public new development projects. The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) are designed to help treat storm water before its release back into the ground by maximizing onsite infiltration and source-control BMPs.
To support preparation of WQMPs, the area-wide NPDES program established a Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) approved Model WQMP Guidance document. This document is required per the NPDES Permit and is used throughout San Bernardino County. The authorization of this agreement will ensure storm water compliance for post-construction pollution prevention requirements. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 2d: Improved Quality of Life - Develop and implement a community engagement plan. This project will support this goal by developing and implementing a community engagement plan related to the project.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact to the City. SBCTA is required to perform inspections per the agreement which will ensure that regular maintenance is performed correctly per the WQMP maintenance plan.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, execute the Rail Storage and Maintenance Facility (aka “Arrow Maintenance Facility”) Operation and

From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Amendment No. 4 to Agreement with ERSC for State Street Extension (Ward 6)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Engineering Services Agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC), adding engineering and construction support services in the amount of $83,485 and increasing the purchase order to a total amount not- to-exceed of $349,995 for the State Street extension from Baseline Street to 16th Street.
Executive Summary:
Amendment No. 4 provides compensation for work that is already completed and allows ERSC to complete additional design services and provide construction support services for the State Street Extension. The services address conditions set by the Department of Water Resources (DWR), impacts from two Southern California Edison (SCE) power poles, add a 4-way stop, and provide landscaping improvements. These additional services go beyond the existing contract amount and require an additional $83,485.
Background
State Street is designated on the General Plan Circulation Element as a major arterial roadway. State Street currently does not exist between Foothill Boulevard and 16 th Street. During a December 2018 meeting, the Mayor and City Council members were informed that the total project cost is beyond the means of the City and federal/state grant funding will be needed to pay for the extension through the proposed area. The project was divided into four (4) phases, the first of which is currently in progress.

On December 5, 2018, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018- 310 approving an agreement with ERSC to provide Environmental Clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for State Street extension between Baseline Street and 16th Street in the amount of $204,533.
On December 4, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution 2019-347 approving the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with ERSC to increase compensation by $24,681 for State Street extension. The amendment addressed requirements set by the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Lytle Creek Levee, which weas not part of the original scope of work.
On September 2, 2020, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution 2020-214 approving the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with ERSC to increase compensation by $6,048 for State Street extension. The amendment addressed the request by the Department of Fish and Wildlife to complete a presence-absence survey for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat.
On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved the Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with ERSC to increase compensation by $31,248 for State Street extension. The amendment addressed additional work that was required to receive a permit due to an existing DWR waterline along State Street.
Discussion
The State Street Extension Project has a need for additional design and construction services. To prevent delays to this important project, City staff asked ERSC to complete services that are outside of their existing scope of work. Additional services were also requested to incorporate features not previously included in the project. Amendment No. 4 accounts the additional services and associated costs.
The additional services include:
•DWR Services – Cost $6,193
Due to an existing easement for a 108-inch DWR waterline along State Street, an encroachment permit was required prior to any street construction.
During the ongoing permitting process DWR imposed conditions to meet their coverage requirements for the existing waterline. This required modifications to the design. Work for this task has been completed.
•SCE Pole Services – Cost $18,210
Two SCE power poles were identified as causing an impact to the construction process. To complete the street improvements, the City requested that ERSC prepare designs for shoring and/or retaining walls for the two power poles. This includes additional plans, exhibits, details, and coordination efforts. Work for this task is currently ongoing.

•Construction Services – Cost $10,000
ERSC was asked to provide construction support services for construction related questions that may arise during the project. This is an ongoing task that will continue through the construction phase of the project. •State Street and Handford Street Intersection Services – Cost $1,355 The City requested that ERSC include a 4-way stop at the State Street and Hanford Street intersection, which required modifications to the current set of plans. Work for this task has been completed.
•Median Landscape Services – Cost $47,727
The City requested that ERSC provide additional design services for landscaping and irrigation improvements along the median, parkway areas behind the sidewalk, and slopes along the extension. Work for this task has not commenced.
ERSC is providing the requested studies, designs, and construction support services, and is requesting compensation in the amount of $83,485 for a total contract compensation amount of $349,995.
Funding for additional design services will be provided through previously allocated funds for the project in the Regional Circulation System Development Impact Fees Fund, which has approximately $795,500 remaining. The additional design services are within the existing budget.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this agreement aligns with Key Target No. 1e: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity – Minimize risk and litigation exposure. This project will construct public infrastructure in the City that will minimize the risk and ligation exposure upon completion of the street improvements.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund Impact associated with this action.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Engineering Services Agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California (ERSC), adding engineering and construction support services in the amount of $83,485 and increasing the purchase order to a total amount not- to-exceed of $349,995 for the State Street extension from Baseline Street to 16th Street.

REDLANDS | TEMECULA | PALM DESERT
RE: Request for Additional Services for the State Street Extension from Baseline Street to 16 th Street – SCE Distribution, DWR, Construction Services and Landscape PS&E Dear Mr. Demirci,
ERSC is respectfully requesting additional funds for providing Professional Services to cover work already performed at the request of the City, in addition to the recently requested service to prepare PS&E for landscaping the new median in State Street. The service request and associated costs are detailed below.
DWR Services
ERSC prepared 100% PS&E for the State Street Extension Project. Prior to advertising the project, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) submitted a list of comments that resulted in the profile of State Street to be lowered to meet min/max coverage over DWR’s 108” waterline. ERSC continued working on the plans during the preparation of an extra services request, which was ultimately granted by the City Engineer. However, the extent of the revisions to the plans did cause ERSC to run over the requested amount. The requested amount is for work performed to modify the plans in order to obtain a permit from DWR to construct within their right of way.
Total Cost = $6,193.00
SCE Pole Design Services
The City advertised and bid the project and proceeded with construction. In April, 2023 during construction operations, conflicts with existing SCE poles came to light due to the lowering of the roadway to accommodate DWR’s waterline. One pole is a distribution pole with the identification of pole #1371379E and the other is a transmission pole with identification of pole # 4199460E. Site visits and Teams meetings with SCE followed to work out possible solutions of reinforcing the SCE poles until relocation of the poles by SCE could be accomplished. Revised roadway plans with temporary curb and gutter transitions in order to allow sidewalk to be constructed were submitted to the City and several iterations of structural calculations to reinforce the stability of the poles has been submitted to SCE for their approval. Coordination in ongoing with SCE.
Total Cost = $18,210.00
Construction Services
In addition to providing professional engineering services for DWR and SCE, ERSC has been requested to provide Construction Support Services for this project as it was not part of our original contract.
Therefore, ERSC will continue to provide construction support which will include answering Requests for Information (RFIs), assisting the City in preparing Change Orders (COs), visiting the site to provide technical

support, attendance at meetings regarding construction related items, preparation of As-Built plans and other related items as requested. A lump sum amount is requested and only hours spent on this task will be billed against the total.
Lump Sum = $10,000.00
Modification to State Street and Hanford Street Intersection The City has requested ERSC to modify the current set of construction plans to include a 4-way stop at the State Street and Hanford Street intersection. ERSC will modify the current set of plans to incorporate striping and signage per the current edition of the MUTCD and cloud the changes and issue a delta revision on the appropriate sheets.
Total Cost = $1,355.00
Median Landscape Services
In early July 2023, the City requested ERSC to provide a conceptual cost for Professional Services to prepare landscape and irrigation PS & E, in addition to conceptual construction costs of the landscape and irrigation of the newly constructed median, parkway areas behind sidewalk and slopes along the State Street Extension. Upon receipt and review of these items ERSC was asked to prepare a formal cost proposal to include these design services in the pending request for additional services.
ERSC’s team will prepare PS&E for the median, parkway area behind the sidewalk and slopes on the south end of the project for the project limits. The plans will identify water service point of connection with necessary waterline plans, service crossings to the median, planting plans and irrigation plans. These will be submitted to the City at 60%, 90% and 100% completion or at intervals determined necessary by the City. Services will also include assistance in advertising, bidding and construction support.
Total Cost = $47,727
Should you have any questions regarding the tasks and costs listed, you may contact me at [email protected] or at (909) 890-1255.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 16, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Goods Services Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company for the purchase of asphalt concrete materials and related supplies; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order not to exceed the amount of $100,000.
Executive Summary
A purchase order in the amount of $100,000 is requested for the purchase of asphalt materials from Vulcan Materials, Inc. of San Bernardino. These materials are utilized for the maintenance of City streets, such as, pothole and minor street deterioration repairs. This amount is consistent with the projected tonnage required for this fiscal year.
Background
The Operations and Maintenance Division (O&M) of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, beautification, and clean-up of City-owned infrastructure and rights of way. In conjunction with the Engineering Division of Public Works, it is also responsible for ensuring the City’s streets and traffic intersections are properly maintained, inspected, upgraded, and repaired as needed. This includes the
Packet Pg.
460

repair of asphalt streets with potholes or street deterioration. These repairs are largely performed by in-house staff from the Streets work section with the use of asphalt concrete material.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino has approximately 62 square miles within its city limits and more than 534 center lane miles for which maintenance and repair of asphalt streets is routinely required. Key to this work is the use of asphalt concrete material which is primarily used for pothole patching and hot mix asphalt segment repairs. In this past year, the amount of asphalt materials exceeded the typical amount used in average years, but this was largely due to a non-typical rainy season. In general, a purchase order in the amount of $100,000 is sufficient for asphalt concrete materials required in any average year. Staff anticipates a return to an average use of materials for this current fiscal year and is requesting a purchase order in the amount of $100,000 for asphalt concrete materials.
The Operations and Maintenance Division of Public Works worked with the Finance Department, and, in May of 2023, a formal bid process was initiated to solicit quotes for asphalt concrete materials in Request for Quotes No. F-23-41. Notices were posted on the City’s website.
The results of the request for quotes yielded two qualified vendors with Vulcan Materials Company providing the lowest bid amount per unit cost. It is important to note that the cost sheet below reflects the average cost amount per ton for the most-used materials requested (1/2 inch and 3/8-inch materials). Additional quotes for other materials were also requested for which Vulcan Materials provided the lowest quotes.
Table 1. Results of Request for Quotes and Cost
Vendor City Cost Per Ton
Vulcan Materials Co. San Bernardino, CA $87.15
Manhole Adjusting, Inc. Pico Rivera, CA $98.00
Staff is confident Vulcan Materials Company is qualified to provide the required materials and has ensured they have met all City vendor requirements. In addition, Vulcan Materials Company is based in San Bernardino and has provided materials and services to the City in recent years.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with several goals and targets. It is aligned with Goal No. 3: Improved Quality of Life. This maintenance service agreement will ensure City streets, are kept in proper working order free of hazards. It will also enhance safety for our residents and improve the quality of life.

Fiscal Impact
The Gas Tax fund impact is $100,000 and is appropriated in the FY2023/24 budget. There is no General Fund impact with this action. Sufficient budget exists in the department for this agreement, and it will continue to be programmed annually for the four additional option years.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Goods Services Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company for the purchase of asphalt concrete materials and related supplies; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order not to exceed the amount of $100,000.

However, payment for the final Progress Milestone by City will not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any claims or demands which City then has, or can subsequently acquire, against Supplier, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement.
Section 8. SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY.

Risk of loss for any Goods which remains in the possession of Supplier shall remain with Supplier until such Goods has been delivered or City has taken possession thereof.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: August 16, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1596 - Granting Citation Authority to Security Guard Personnel for Violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on City Property
(All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1596, amending Chapter 9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, granting citation authority to security guard personnel for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on City property.
Executive Summary
Adoption of Ordinance MC-1596 and amending Chapter 9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code will grant citation authority to private security guard personnel that are contracted with the City for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on any property owned or leased by the City.
Background
The City of San Bernardino has contracted security services for approximately ten years and provides security guard services at City Hall, City Hall campus, City libraries, parks and various Successor Agency properties.
Currently, only certain security guard personnel, limited to off duty, retired, or reserve police officers employed by either the Economic Development Agency of the City or by the Inland Valley Development Agency, have the authority under the San Bernardino Municipal Code to arrest and issue notices to appear for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on specified City property, including the Carousel Mall and the Norton Air Force Base, pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 10 of Section 9.90.010 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code.

On October 5, 2022, Ordinance MC-1596 was introduced for the first reading to the Mayor and City Council. The Ordinance is now being returned to the Mayor and City Council for a second reading and adoption. The Ordinance will become effective 30 days from the date of adoption.
Discussion
The Public Works Department seeks to grant citation authority to private security guard personnel retained by the City to provide security services under contract with the City for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on any property owned or leased by the City. Extending citation authority to such personnel on all City property is intended to alleviate an undue burden on City departments who currently issue citations and notices to appear for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, including, but not limited to, the Code Enforcement Department and the Police Department.
A new paragraph (19) shall be added to subsection (A) of Section 9.90.010 of Chapter
9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to state as follows:
“19. Security guard personnel, including private security officers retained by the City to provide security services under contract with the City, are authorized and empowered to issue citations and notices to appear for violations of this Code occurring on any property owned or leased by the City.”
The Ordinance was first introduced to the Mayor and City Council on October 5, 2022.
However, the Ordinance was inadvertently not brought back to the Mayor and City Council for adoption. The Ordinance is now being brought back to the Mayor and City Council for adoption.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed action aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community. The proposed action would maximize existing resources by granting security guard personnel the authority to enforce provisions of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on all City property.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to this proposed action.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1596, amending Chapter 9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, granting citation authority to security guard personnel for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on City property.
