Packet Page.651
Background
Metrolink has reported multiple collisions between trains and automobiles traveling on Rialto Avenue at the Metrolink crossing between Meridian Avenue and Macy Street. This concerning trend has prompted a call for action to improve safety at the crossing. There is an existing agreement between the City of San Bernardino and Metrolink, which outlines that any public right-of-way issues related to the railroad crossing are the responsibility of the City. In response to these safety concerns, Metrolink, with the support of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), has urged the City to take immediate steps to make necessary improvements. One proposed solution is the installation of a raised median at the crossing, which will help improve safety by controlling vehicle movements and reducing the risk of illegal maneuvers made by vehicles at this location.

On June 5, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to present the City Manager's proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and Fiscal Year 2025/26. The continuation of this hearing on June 26, 2024, allowed for further discussion and provided an opportunity for the Council to review and approve the City Manager's FY 2025 Operating Budget, as well as the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2025- 2029. However, a one-year budget for FY 2024/25 was adopted at this time.

Funding for the Project was established with $70,000 allocated for FY 2024/25 in Measure S.

Staff recommends implementing a raised median at this railroad crossing to meet the current standards for Metrolink/ Southern California Regional Rail Authority and the CPUC.

With this implementation, Staff intends to enhance vehicle shielding by controlling movements and fortifying the travel path for vehicles versus trains. The raised median will help prevent vehicles from making illegal maneuvers, such as crossing the centerline to go around the railroad gate arms and will provide clearer separation between traffic lanes.

Discussion
This project aims to eliminate conflicts between trains and automobiles at the Metrolink Railroad Crossing on Rialto Ave. The consultant will assist the City in evaluating the feasibility of the raised median design, analyzing the appropriate materials and construction methods, and addressing other initial planning considerations and coordinating approval and permitting from Metrolink. City staff has provided the consultant key aspects of the median design that are most critical to address within the current project budget. The consultant will help develop plans, specifications, and estimates that can be advertised within the available budget.

Staff utilized the On-Call Consultant Services list, approved by the Mayor and City Council on November 16, 2022, to solicit proposals for the Rialto Median project at the Metrolink crossing. A design proposal was sent to six qualified firms from the list, and two firms responded with their proposals. Willdan Engineering notified staff Packet Page.652
that they were currently unable to take on the railroad median design at this time and declined to bid. The received proposals were carefully reviewed to assess each firm's qualifications, experience, and approach to the project, ensuring that the selected consultant can provide the most effective design for the crossing improvement.

Proposals City Fee
Willdan Engineering Industry, CA Decline to Bid
TKE Consultants Riverside, CA $73,175.00
Rick Engineering Riverside, CA $59,590.00
The two received proposals were evaluated, and Staff recommends the Mayor and City Council approve a Task Order in the amount of $59,590 with Rick Engineering of Riverside, CA for Design Services for this Project. Staff also recommends that City Council approve a design contingency of $5,959, for a total agreement amount of $65,549.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project aligns with the City's Key Strategic Target and Goal No. 3: Improved Quality of Life, specifically section C, which focuses on evaluating and enhancing public safety services. By implementing a raised median at the Metrolink Railroad Crossing on Rialto Avenue, the City aims to eliminate conflicts between trains and vehicles, improving traffic flow through the crossing on this segment of the roadway.

Fiscal Impact
The cost of this design services totals to $65,549.00 will be funded through Measure S, as allocated in the FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget.

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

1. Approve the award of a Task Order with Rick Engineering in the amount of $59,590 for the Raised Median Installation on Rialto Ave at Metrolink Railroad Crossing (Project); and

2. Authorize the project design cost and contingency cost for unforeseen conditions costs for a potential agreement in the total amount of $65,549.

Department: Public Works
Subject: Recommendation to Increase the Project Budget for the Police Building Management System in the
amount of $42,398.00 (Ward 1)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California adopt Resolution 2025-246:

1. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2024/25 CIP Budget with an additional $42,398.00 for the Police Building Management System Project using the Law Enforcement Facilities Fund balance; and

2. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to increase the construction contingency and construction management budget from $39,450.00 to the total amount of $43,304.00; and

3. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to expend the contingency fund, if necessary, to complete the project.

Executive Summary:

Approval of this Resolution 2025-246 to increase the project budget for the Police Building Management System Project would allow additional necessary work to replace and install HVAC components that were not included in the original scope.

Specifically, it covers the replacement of seven Variable Air Volume (VAV) units, two Fan Power Boxes (FPB), and the installation of two manual valves to isolate reheat valves in the hot water system. These upgrades will ensure proper airflow, temperature regulation, and efficient operation of the HVAC system. The total cost of the budget increase is $42,392.00, which will allow the project to be completed and improve the overall functionality of the Police Department’s HVAC system.

Packet Page.675
Background
The existing HVAC control system for the Police Department Headquarters is obsolete and in need of replacement. The control system does not allow for efficient and effective use of the HVAC system due to limited functionality. Additionally, zone heating hot water valves need to be replaced.

On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 Operating Budget and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2023-2027. This budget included funding for various infrastructure projects, including necessary upgrades to the Police Department’s HVAC system. As part of the CIP, the HVAC Control System and Valve Replacement Project was identified as a critical improvement to ensure the continued efficient operation of the Police Department facility. The funding allocation allowed the project to move forward, providing the resources necessary for the replacement and upgrade of key HVAC components to meet operational and energy efficiency needs.

On April 17, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction agreement for the Police Building Management System Project to Western Allied Corporation. This award authorized the contractor to proceed with the planned upgrades, including the installation of new control systems, valves, and necessary components to optimize the HVAC system. The scope of work approved by the Council focused on essential repairs and replacements to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and the overall functionality of the facility’s heating and cooling systems. This project is an important step in maintaining the Police Department’s infrastructure, and Resolution No. 2025-246 is now necessary to address additional work that was not part of the original scope.

Discussion
A change order is necessary to address critical additional work that was not included in the original scope of the Police Building Management System Project. The required upgrades to key HVAC components to ensure the system operates efficiently and meets the operational needs of the facility. The work outlined in the proposed change order includes the installation of new Variable Air Volume (VAV) units, Fan Power Boxes (FPB), and manual isolation valves, all of which are integral to improving the HVAC system’s performance and energy efficiency.

The replacement of seven VAV units, which will require the safe-off and removal of existing ductwork, piping, and controls, as well as the rework of low-side ductwork to reconnect to the new units. Additionally, new ductwork will be insulated, and the control systems will be retested to ensure proper operation of the supply dampers, reheat systems, actuators, and valves. Retesting will also include verifying air temperature, space temperature, and air flow. This work, priced at $22,031, will directly address issues related to air distribution and temperature regulation, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient environment within the Police Department.

The second component of the proposed change order involves the replacement of two Fan Power Boxes (FPB2-22 and FPB3-01), which play a key role in regulating the HVAC system’s airflow. Similar to the VAV replacement, this work will require the safePacket Page.676 off of existing systems, reworking of ductwork, and the installation of new duct insulation. The control systems will also be retested, including the supply damper, fan, and reheat functions. The total cost for the Fan Power Box replacement is $12,251.

This upgrade is essential to improving airflow consistency and optimizing the overall HVAC performance for the Police Department.

Finally, the proposed change order includes the installation of two manual valves in the hot water system to isolate the reheat valves in specific locations within the facility.

This work will involve shutting down the boiler and draining the hot water system to install the new valves. The manual valves will provide greater control over the reheat system, allowing for easier isolation and maintenance. This work is critical to enhancing the flexibility and reliability of the HVAC system, and the cost for this portion is $4,262.

In total, the additional work outlined in proposed change order amounts to $42,398.00 with contingency and construction management costs. These upgrades are necessary to address the deficiencies identified during the project’s execution and ensure the HVAC system functions at peak performance. Approval of Resolution 2025-XXX will provide the funding necessary for the completion of the project, ensuring the Police Department facility is properly maintained and its HVAC systems operate efficiently and reliably.

The original agreement for the project was $325,550.00, with an initial contingency and administrative cost of $39,450.00, bringing the total to $365,000.00. A proposed change order of $38,544.00 has been added to accommodate necessary adjustments during the project. Additionally, there is an increase of $3,854.00 for further contingency and administrative costs. As a result, the new total for the project budget is $407,398.00. This updated amount reflects both the change order and the additional costs needed to ensure the project is completed successfully. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorizing the execution of this amendment aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life by providing a more comfortable space for the Police Department to operate, which will improve the quality of service.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Funding for this project is provided through the Law Enforcement Facilities Fund in the amount of $42,398.

Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program Grant.

Background
The Norman F. Feldheym Public Library, located at 555 West 6th Street, is a critical resource for the community, especially for residents facing economic and linguistic barriers. Since its construction in 1985, the facility has seen minimal upgrades, leading to structural and operational deficiencies. The library suffers from leaking windows, outdated electrical wiring, a deteriorating foundation, and an inefficient HVAC system that fails to regulate temperatures effectively. Additionally, inadequate lighting contributes to excessive heat and high energy costs. The Feldheym Library Revitalization Project will address these issues through essential maintenance, energy efficiency upgrades, and modernization efforts to improve both digital and physical accessibility.

City staff, in collaboration with architectural and engineering experts, conducted a comprehensive assessment of the building’s condition. This evaluation confirmed the need for extensive renovations, including HVAC improvements, electrical and lighting upgrades, window replacements, and enhancements to security systems. The project will also ensure compliance with ADA accessibility standards, expanding digital access for the community.

On December 6, 2023, the City Council accepted a grant from the California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program in the amount of $6,409,370.00 to help fund these improvements. This grant will support the renovation and modernization efforts, ensuring the library remains a valuable community resource for years to come. By addressing these long-overdue maintenance needs, the City is reinforcing its commitment to public service and providing a more functional, comfortable, and accessible space for residents.

Discussion
This project is focused on modernizing and upgrading the library facility for the community, with the goal of enhancing safety, comfort, and accessibility for library users and staff. The proposed design services agreement will cover every stage of the design process, including the conceptual design phase, construction design phase, bid and construction support, and construction design support and RFI response.

The project was advertised through PlanetBids on October 10, 2024. Four submittals were received. The submittals were evaluated based on qualifications and understanding of project scope. Three out of the four firms were selected to move forward onto the interview round. The three firms interviewed were Bell Design Group, LOC Inc., and Perkins Eastman. Bell Design Group was determined to be most qualified for the design work based on understanding of project requirements.

Packet Page.729
The proposal from Bell Design Group (BDG) for the Norman F. Feldheym Central Library Revitalization Project outlines a comprehensive approach to addressing both the functional and aesthetic needs of the library. The proposed improvements include upgrades to the HVAC system, repairs to critical facility issues like leaking windows, electrical wiring, and cracks in the concrete foundation, and enhancements to the lighting and energy systems. These updates are essential for ensuring the library’s continued operation and its long-term sustainability.

The design process begins with the Conceptual Design Phase with BDG initiating meetings with City Staff and conducting research to develop preliminary designs. Then BDG goes into their Construction Design Phase where the designs will be developed and construction documents will be prepared.

This Task Order is being issued through an existing pre-approved on-call list, and the design services will be funded by Measure S.

Background
Packet Page.800
In 2023, the Public Safety and Human Relations Commission (PSHRC) approved a road diet plan using lane striping as a short-term measure to address traffic intrusions concerns from both H Street and E Street on 28th Street as a bypass avoiding 30th Street on the north and Highland Ave on the south. following requests from citizens in the area for safer streets. This action was taken to reduce vehicle speeds in the neighborhood. Public Works designed and implemented a road diet plan, which included reducing lane widths, edge lines, rumble strips, and upgrading the existing faded traffic control devices to meet the California MUTCD standards.

The PSHRC directed Public Works to monitor the impact of these changes to assess their effectiveness in reducing intrusions along this segment of this roadway. Based on the results and feedback gathered, a long-term phase of the project will be designed and installed to introduce physical barriers and more permanent features for traffic calming on 28th Street.

On June 5, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to present the City Manager's proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2024/25 and Fiscal Year 2025/26. The continuation of this hearing on June 26, 2024, allowed for further discussion and provided an opportunity for the Council to review and approve the City Manager's FY 2025 Operating Budget, as well as the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2025- 2029. However, only a one-year budget for FY 2024/25 was adopted at this time.

Funding for the Project was established with $170,500 allocated for FY 2024/25 in Measure S.

This segment of the roadway has been identified by Public Works staff for improvements to reduce traffic speeds and discourage its use as a bypass route.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has recommended various traffic calming strategies, which have been incorporated into the City’s conceptual design for the area.

With the implementation of Traffic Calming Measures on 28th Street, Staff intends to reduce vehicle speeds and discourage the use of the street as a bypass route, while preserving on-street parking where practical. The primary objective of this project is to enhance accessibility for both residents and pedestrians, thereby improving the overall livability and quality of life in the neighborhood.

Discussion
This project aims to implement traffic calming measures on 28th Street, focusing on reducing vehicle speeds, improving accessibility for both vehicular, pedestrian, and student traffic. The consultant will assist the City in evaluating the feasibility of various traffic calming components, analyzing the appropriate materials and construction methods, and addressing other initial planning considerations. City Staff has provided the consultant with a list of applicable project improvements, identifying which measures are most critical to address within the current project budget. The consultant will help develop a comprehensive plans, specifications, and estimates package that can be advertised within the available budget.

Packet Page.801
Staff utilized the On-Call Consultant Services list, approved by the Mayor and City Council on November 16, 2022, to solicit proposals for the traffic calming design services on 28th Street. A design proposal was sent to six qualified firms from the list, and three firms responded with their proposals. These submissions were carefully reviewed to assess each firm's qualifications, experience, and approach to the project.

Proposals City Fee
Willdan Engineering Industry, CA $59,500.00
TKE Consultants Riverside, CA $92,031.00

Background
The San Bernardino Police Department is a sub-recipient of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) through the County of San Bernardino. The JAG grant is a formulary grant that is allocated based on population and a three-year average of reported violent crime. The City of San Bernardino has been designated a disparate jurisdiction, which allows the City to receive one-and-one-half of the County Allocation. San Bernardino County serves as the grant recipient, administrator, and fiscal agent for the JAG program funds and is allowed to charge each jurisdiction a 5% administrative fee from the jurisdiction's allocation. JAG grants are cash grants paid in advance with no requirement for matching funds.
