Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Genevieve Amaro, Management Aide
Subject: Approval of Resolution 2023-68 Implementing Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions on Certain City Streets
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Residents have expressed concerns regarding trash and debris left behind on city streets when the street sweeping contractor is unable to make the pass throughs due to parked vehicles.
Staff is recommending that the City Council consider adopting parking restrictions on certain city streets on street sweeping days to ensure that streets are properly cleaned.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council:
• Adopt Resolution 2023-68 restricting parking at the specified locations once a month for street sweeping purposes.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a minimal fiscal impact of approximately $12,500.00 that will cover the material costs of the signs and sign posts. This does not include the cost of labor for installation of signs.
BACKGROUND
The City has received concerns from residents in several locations that the street sweeper is not able to properly clean debris, leaves, etc. during the bi-weekly street sweeping process due to parked cars. San Dimas does not currently restrict parking on street sweeping days. As a result, the street sweeper is unable to achieve the optimum level of cleaning along the curbs where vehicles are parked. There are certain areas, such as in front of higher density developments, where the issue seems to be more prevalent and where the residents have expressed concerns.
Parking Prohibitions for Street Sweeping Purposes on Certain City Streets Page 2 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
As mentioned above, currently, the City provides its residents with a bi-weekly street sweeping service. Street sweepers operate Monday through Friday; however, residents are not required to relocate vehicles parked on the street on the day of street sweeping as in other cities.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
In order to properly clean the streets and also not to disrupt and inconvenience our city residents too severely, the proposed restrictions include consideration of several factors. The impacts will be reduced to a once-a-month parking restriction on street sweeping days in those areas that have high parking demand on the street. Additionally, Staff is proposing the restricted time of 8 A.M. to 11 A.M. when most residents are at work or school and the parking demand is less. Staff is also proposing to stagger the parking restrictions so when parking restrictions are in force on one side of the street, the other side of the street is available for parking.
While there remains some inconvenience to residents, the benefit of being able to access these areas will remove blight and smells originating from debris trapped in the gutter and will allow the City to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
Section 10.24.095 and 10.24.104 of the San Dimas Municipal Code permits the City Council by resolution to designate certain City Streets in which parking or stopping is prohibited. The resolution reflects several updates to parking restrictions at various locations throughout the City that are shown below. The proposed changes at the following locations are detailed in Resolution 2023-68 as follows:
A. Time Limit or Parking Restrictions on Street Sweeping Days • Bonita Ave. (both sides) Walnut Ave. -San Dimas Canyon Rd. “No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (North side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (South side of street) • San Dimas Canyon Rd. (West side) Payson St.-Arrow Hwy. “No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” • Cataract Ave. (both sides) Bonita Ave. -Arrow Hwy.
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (West side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (East side of street) • Acacia St. (both sides) Bonita Ave. -Arrow Hwy.
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (West side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (East side of street) • Baseline Rd. (south side) San Dimas Ave.-Shoshone
“No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (South side of street) • Covina Blvd. (North side) Derby Rd.-Lone Hill Ave.
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (North side of street) • Lone Hill Ave. (East side) W Covina Blvd. -Brighton Court. “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (East side of street) Walnut Ave. (West side) Bonita Ave. -Train tracks.
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (West side of street) • W Cypress Ave (North side) N Valley Center Avenue – approximately 130ft east of Canterbury Lane
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (North side of street) S Maimone Ave (both sides) W Arrow Hwy – W Calora Street “No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (West side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (East side of street)
Parking Prohibitions for Street Sweeping Purposes on Certain City Streets Page 3 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
• N Amelia Ave (both sides) W 5th Street – approximately 315ft south of Highland Place
“No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (West side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (East side of street) • Tanglewood Lane (both sides) Puddingstone Drive – end of Tanglewood Drive “No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (North side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (South side of street) • Iron Bark Lane (both sides) Tanglewood Drive – end of Iron Bark Lane “No Parking on 1st Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M.” (North side of street) and “No Parking on 2nd Tuesday of every month 8 A.M.-11 A.M” (South side of street) The above street locations were identified as areas with a high volume of vehicle street parking.
The benefits of adding parking restrictions to these locations is the collection and removal of paper, leaves, and other visible debris that collects in the gutters. It should be noted that additional streets may be added at a future date for the same reasons above. Staff would submit a new resolution for Council’s consideration.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can decide not to implement the parking restrictions. Staff can manually place parking restrictions signs periodically to allow the street to be swept. There are several disadvantages to continue with this path. It is more costly over time as it requires more staff hours and coordination. The streets will not be routinely swept and will frequently not meet city standards for cleanliness.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is categorically exempt per 14 CCR § 15301 Paragraph 1 (c) as the work consists of operation and maintenance on existing highways and streets where the alteration does not create additional automobile lanes.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Cecilia Todd, Human Resources Manager
Subject: Approval of Closure of City Hall, Recreation and Senior Centers and Field Operations, on December 14, 27, 28, and 29, 2023.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Approve Resolution 2023-67 authorizing the closure of City Hall, Recreation and Senior Centers and field operations on December 14, 27, 28, and 29, 2023. Emergency services will remain available.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommend the City Council
• Approve Resolution 2023-67 allowing the closure of City facilities and certain field operations on December 14, 27, 28, and 29, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the programming scheduled for the 2023-24 fiscal year, limited staff time, depending on the nature of the projects and programs considered, is expected. The staff salaries associated with the closure days were included in the adopted budget.
BACKGROUND
The City observes twelve holidays each year, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Due to how these holidays fall on the calendar this year, City facilities would be open for three days during the time period from December 25 - January 3, 2023. During 2021 and 2022, the City Council authorized closure of City Facilities for the non-City observed Holidays between Christmas and New Year’s. In years prior, the days between December 24 and January 1 saw little to no activity from the public as many operations are put on hold until the holiday season is complete and ramp back up starting after the observance of New Year’s Day each year. Staff has requested the closures of City facilities and certain field
Approval of Closure of City Hall, Recreation and Senior Centers and Field Operations Page 2 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
operations, aside from emergency work, on December 27, 28, and 29, 2023. This year, staff is also requesting a partial day closure from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on December 14, 2023, for the City’s annual Employee Recognition event to allow all City staff to participate.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
During the City’s annual review with the San Dimas Employees Association (SDEA) to discuss salary and benefits provided to employees, a holiday closure was again requested. Additionally, employees requested that the three-day holiday closure be paid days off.
The City Manager and leadership team support the request and it is believed that the extended time off would be beneficial to and appreciated by the employees. The concept of closing during the dates between Christmas and New Year's is not unique as many cities in Southern California take this opportunity to provide an extended break for their employees due to the close proximity of the multiple holiday dates.
In order to accomplish this, Council must adopt a Resolution to close City facilities when necessary or appropriate on non-holiday dates.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could elect not to adopt Resolution 2023-67, leaving City Hall open during the suggested closure dates and times.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

BACKGROUND
The City of San Dimas Senior/Community Center promotes healthy aging, independence and well-being of older adults through health, wellness, educational, cultural, and recreational programs and services. To accomplish this, the City partners with different agencies to provide a variety of services such as nutrition, health information, lifelong learning, classes and special events.
For the past 30 years the City has partnered with YWCA San Gabriel Valley to support the Los Angeles County Area Agency on Aging’s mission and its Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) under the administration of the County of Los Angeles Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services. Congregate Meal Services are intended to maintain or improve the physical and social well-being of mobile older adults in a group setting at strategically located sites to persons 60 or older and other eligible individuals. The nutrition services are highly valued as they draw in seniors who are eligible to enroll in other aspects of senior programming.
Services provided by YWCA include but are not limited to, all elements contained in the ENP statement of work (Attachment 1), including specific tasks, client eligibility, staffing requirements, quality control, training, mandatory coordination, customer satisfaction, outcome measures, teamwork and performance requirements.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
For the past 30 years the City of San Dimas contributions to the nutrition program remained at $6,240 per year. Although federal government subsidizes YWCA, through the U.S. Administration on Aging, Older American (OAA) (i.e., LA County pass through funds), the OAA funds do not cover 100% of program cost recovery.
Agreement with YWCA for Elderly Nutrition Program Congregate Meal Services Page 3 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could consider not approving this contract. However, if this essential service to our Senior Community is discontinued, then many seniors will miss their most nutritional supplemental meals Monday through Friday. If the program is discontinued, a decline in overall attendance in senior programming would be anticipated.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed currently.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Grant Garcia, Management Analyst
Subject: Authorize an Appropriation of $70,000.00 from General Fund and Approve a 3- Year Contract Services Agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. for an Amount not to Exceed $210,000.00 (or $70,000.00 per year) for Hazardous Waste Management and Removal Services.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City would like to enter into an agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. (Ocean Blue) for hazardous waste management and removal services utilizing cooperative or piggyback purchases as allowed in San Dimas Municipal Code Section 3.28.120E.
Hazardous waste must be handled properly during disposal, and staff are required to be trained and licensed in order to deal with such materials. Ocean Blue offers services for homeless encampment clean-ups, emergency sewer spills, and hazardous waste management. Having a specialized contractor handle hazardous waste ensures waste is handled, documented, and disposed of according to law.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Appropriate $70,000 from the General Fund for Hazardous Waste Management and Removal Services.
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter a Professional Services Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney for a three (3) year contract with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc for hazardous waste disposal services in an amount not to exceed $210,000 over the 3 years for an estimated amount of $70,000 per year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract amount will be an amount not to exceed $210,000.00 over a three-year period for services. Funding for this agreement would be paid from the General Fund. The estimated expenditure per fiscal year is $70,000.
Approve a 3-Year Contract Services Agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. for Hazardous Waste Management and Removal Services. Page 2 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
BACKGROUND
Currently, the City does not have an agreement in place for hazardous waste management services. Hazardous waste includes:
• Biological and hazardous waste as a result of an encampment cleanup. • Accidental spills or discharges in the public right-of-way or on City-owned property that require emergency response and remediation.
• Hazardous waste generated through daily operations of the City; and • Abandoned hazardous waste in the public right-of-way.
Clean-up of the above items requires specialized training. As reporting requirements have changed and the frequency of clean ups has also increased, staff is requesting additional funding to contract for the above services.
Staff has researched current agreements through other public agencies in order to “piggyback” on an existing contract with a hazardous waste management firm. Upon researching, Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. (Ocean Blue) was found as a highly recommended vendor that can provide the various service needs to the City. Ocean Blue provides hazardous waste management and emergency response services to a variety of public sector agencies including:
The Port of Long Beach, City of Glendora, City of Covina, and Long Beach/Los Angeles/John Wayne airports. The contract agreement with Ocean Blue would be an on-call/as-needed basis.
The agreement would also provide 24-hour response in the case of a spill after hours, or on the weekend when City Hall is closed.
Staff engaged with Ocean Blue, and they have agreed to extend the terms of the City of Santa Ana Hazardous Waste Disposal Services to the City of San Dimas.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC) Section 3.28.120, Exceptions to competitive bidding requirements, allows the purchasing officer (City Manager) to enter into a contract or “piggyback” on a cooperative competitive bidding procedure that was prepared and processed through another local, state, or federal government agency or a cooperative purchasing entity set up by or utilized by such government or public agencies and where the piggyback contract has gone through the competitive bidding process of that entity.
When “piggybacking,” the City is exempt from formal bidding procedures in circumstances where it joins into cooperate agreements in which federal or state governments, or any political subdivision thereof, has bid for the items or services. In this case, the City would “piggyback” on the City of Santa Ana’s contract agreement with Ocean Blue. Upon going through the bidding process with Santa Ana, Ocean Blue was determined to be the most responsive and qualified candidate.
Entering a contract agreement with the City of Santa Ana’s agreement with Ocean Blue will allow Staff to reduce costs to administer a request for proposals, work more efficiently, and be more responsive to City department needs while adhering to public bidding process provisions set forth in the SDMC.
Approve a 3-Year Contract Services Agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. for Hazardous Waste Management and Removal Services. Page 3 For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can elect not to enter into the agreement and continue to utilize City staff until an alternate hazardous waste management firm is found.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed currently.

In the event of any dispute between Consultant and Agency, as to whether liability arises from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Agency or its officers, employees, or agents, Consultant will be obligated to pay for Agency’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the Indemnified Parties as solely or actively negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct.

Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Consultant gives Agency notice of such court order or subpoena.
B. Consultant shall promptly notify Agency should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, or subconsultants be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions, or other discovery request (“Discovery”), court order, or subpoena from any person or party regarding this Agreement and the work performed thereunder or with respect to any project or property located within the Agency, unless the Agency is a party to any lawsuit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding connected to such Discovery, or unless Consultant is prohibited by law from informing the Agency of such Discovery. Agency retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant and/or be present at any deposition, hearing, or similar proceeding as allowed by law. Unless Agency is a party to the lawsuit, arbitration, or administrative proceeding and is adverse to Consultant in such proceeding, Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with Agency and to provide the opportunity to review any response to Discovery requests provided by Consultant.

During a spill, time is of the essence: initial containment is critical to spill cleanup. To ensure we are always ready to respond, our workforce employs the most 1st-responder supervisors in Southern California. All supervisors are assigned their own utility truck (which they take home). Supervisors respond directly to the spill site, not from Ocean Blue’s yard—effectively streamlining response time. All our supervisors carry sandbags, sorbent materials, brooms and shovels to assist in containing the spill.
Our fleet of dedicated 1st
responder Supervisor utility
trucks. These trucks are
assigned to each supervisor
(which they take home)
Clearance Access: In addition to performing emergency response in Below: Ocean Blue news coverage
public right-of-ways, Ocean Blue also responds to areas requiring background-check clearance. Below is a list of clients and their respective required background protocols. There is no one single clearance that grants access to all the secure areas below. Each agency requires their own respective background check.
1. Los Angeles International Airport – LAX Badging
2. San Diego Regional Airport Authority – SDCRAA Badging
3. John Wayne Airport – JWA Badging
4. United States Coast Guard – E-verify
5. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) – E-rail safe
6. Port of Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego – (TWIC) Card Record Keeping: Ocean Blue ensures proper documentation (written & photographs) for our clientele. All documentation is securely kept for a 3-year minimum. All manifesting and/or disposal paperwork will be properly recorded and sent to the appropriate regulatory agency. We can send before/after photos to respective agency staff.
With our constant administrative control of the waste, clients will know the status & location of the waste, from collection to disposal.
We also regularly use E-manifests for our clients.

Unidentified Waste in Public Right-of-Ways: Our supervisors can categorize unknown liquid/solids—in the field or during a routine pickup. Once categorized, we package & transport the waste to a local TSDF. Our direct reading instruments are 100% owned & properlycalibrated by in-house trained personnel. These instruments include:
• Mercury vapor analyzers, •
•
•
PID meters
4-gas meters
OVA Monitor
• Ammonia vapor analyzers,
• Hydrogen Sulfide Monitors
• Intrinsically safe personnel monitors
With these instruments readily available, we can ensure a timely response. Furthermore, clients save money by not paying extra laboratory surcharges with high 24-hour turn around costs. All of our Emergency Response Units contain
Categorization Kit.
a multi-step Hazardous
Confined Space Entry: With years of field experience and the most current safety equipment available, we provide a safe, cost-effective confined space program. Confined space entries may possess one or all of the “big three” confined space hazards – oxygen deficiency, toxic materials, and fire/explosion conditions. We established a safety program in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.21, 29 CFR 1910.146 and NIOSH 80-106 for identifying and evaluating confined spaces to determine acceptable entry conditions. Even our vacuum truck/hydrojetter equipment operators are confined space entry trained, so that they can coordinate with underground crews effectively.
Trauma Scene Cleanup: Blood spills and trauma scenes are every day occurrences for Ocean Blue. We work with Sheriff’s departments and other law enforcement agencies to block off trauma scenes from the general public. From sanitizing, to paperwork, to transportation, to decontamination, to disposal, Ocean Blue is your turn key company for trauma scene cleanups. We are fast, efficient, discrete and cost effective.
We service the City of Long Beach, Orange County and Cal Trans all with 24/7 trauma scene cleanup services. Our teams know to preserve potential evidence—bullets & crime paraphernalia. We are trained to pick up & report any potential evidence material.

shipping containers. Waste oil, oil filters, used &
mixed fuels, light-bulbs, electronic waste, batteries
and oily debris are sent to local TSDFs
(preapproved by our waste router) for recycling.
Once the waste area is cleaned, we replace the

accumulation start dates. The proper storage &
labeling of drums is vital to maintaining DTSC
compliance. Additionally, Ocean Blue removes
used absorbent and replaces it with new absorbent
material, pressure washes the interior & exterior,
and any possible remaining stains in the vicinity.
Transportation: We own & operate a fleet of California Air Resource Board (CARB) compliant transportation vehicles. Our professional drivers are highly qualified and experienced in the waste transportation industry. In addition, our vehicles comprise one of the most modern and well-maintained transportation fleets in the environmental business. Our fleet include the following types:

Scope of Services: Stormdrain Facility Maintenance Services and Flood response Our government clients always needed basic Stormwater services—whether hydro-jetting a line, or cleaning a catch basin—which we always provided. But within the last decade Stormwater regulation has become significantly more stringent. Our clients now needed a full-service Stormwater company to meet their operational needs. In an effort to better serve our clients, Ocean Blue invested & grew our Stormwater division.
Now when clients need 33,000 feet of storm drain hydro-jetted, or 1,000 catch basins inspected & cleaned, or need their 32 Hydrodynamic separators serviced regularly, Ocean Blue can provide these services at the same high level of professionalism you expect. Additionally, when flooding occurs, our municipal clients can expect a response time of less than 1-hour. We will also perform more specific stormwater maintenance services, such as the stenciling of individual basins, procuring/repairing grates and trash capture devices, and more.
City-wide Catch Basin cleaning: Ocean Blue cleans over
3,500 basins throughout various cities. Twice a year,
Ocean Blue inspects every single basin and cleans basins that are at least 40% impacted. Navigating City streets— sometimes during traffic hours—requires careful
planning. For additional ease, Ocean Blue fabricates
smaller combination pressure-washer/vacuum
combination units. These all-in-one units are class C
vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of under 26,000
pounds. In addition, our field technicians utilize smart tablets to report catch basins. In-field reporting
(Cityworks) allows for up-to-date information.

Bypass Jetting: Using our utility truck & specialized Jetter Vactor, we jet 27 bypasses and 180 culverts for debris (i.e. dirt & gravel). In order to effectively complete this scope of work, safety & traffic control are essential. Many times, bypass cleaning requires lane/shoulder closures using reflective cones & arrow boards. Confined space entry protocol is also sometimes used.
During inspections we found an inlet fully
impacted with concrete. We later mitigated
the problem area by performing confined
space entry and using heavy equipment
Hydrodynamic Separators: Ocean Blue currently holds Stormwater maintenance contracts for various Southern California Cities. We currently maintain over 50 hydrodynamic separators, each of which are cleaned 3 times a year. During inspections we open manholes to observe any floatables. Using a stadia rod we measure quantities o f s e d i me n t l o c a t e d a t t h e b o t t o m o f t h e H y d r o d y n a mi inspections & cleanings together (rather than on separate occasions). All reports are thoroughly completed indicating any damages and screen conditions. We also report conditions of the inlet/outlet sumps.
Contech Filter Media cleaning and BMPs: Ocean Blue maintains Contech-filter-vault-cleaning contracts all across southern California.
Varying in size, these vaults are pressure washed once a year (or sooner should an illicit discharge occur). We are also familiar with bioretention units, bioswales, drywells and other underground infiltration systems.
Stormwater lift stations: We have extensive experience in providing lift station on-call services for the County and neighboring cities (vacuuming & monitoring). Specifically for Santa Ana, Ocean Blue will work closely with Arnaz Engineering—the current lift station maintenance provider— to meet City needs (electrical & mechanical repair).
Installation of Gates and BMPs: Ocean Blue can install custom gates & trash excluder devices like automatic retractable screen covers, connector pipe screens, and/or flex storm drain filter inserts. Based on screen length & height, bypass height, we will custom fabricate screens for best fit. All devices are County approved. In addition, we can perform any citymandated stenciling while retrofitting catch basins. ♦ LONG BEACH ♦ ♦ SAN DIEGO ♦

Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).
Consultant shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain an umbrella liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage liability coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
Rev. 06/22 Design Professional Service Agreement Page 138 – 250 • A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason, other than bankruptcy or insolvency of said primary insurer; • “Pay on behalf of” wording as opposed to “reimbursement”; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies.
Should Consultant obtain and maintain an excess liability policy, such policy shall be excess over commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. Such policy or policies shall include wording that the excess liability policy follows the terms and conditions of the underlying policies.
Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to Agency as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned Rev. 06/22 Design Professional Service Agreement Page 139 – 250 policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.
Rev. 06/22 Design Professional Service Agreement Page 140 – 250 Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement.
Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Rev. 06/22 Design Professional Service Agreement Page 141 – 250 Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

During a spill, time is of the essence: initial containment is critical to spill cleanup. To ensure we are always ready to respond, our workforce employs the most 1st-responder supervisors in Southern California. All supervisors are assigned their own utility truck (which they take home). Supervisors respond directly to the spill site, not from Ocean Blue’s yard—effectively streamlining response time. All our supervisors carry sandbags, sorbent materials, brooms and shovels to assist in containing the spill.

Unidentified Waste in Public Right-of-Ways: Our supervisors can categorize unknown liquid/solids—in the field or during a routine pickup. Once categorized, we package & transport the waste to a local TSDF. Our direct reading instruments are 100% owned & properlycalibrated by in-house trained personnel. These instruments include:
• Mercury vapor analyzers, •
•
•
PID meters
4-gas meters
OVA Monitor
• Ammonia vapor analyzers,
• Hydrogen Sulfide Monitors
• Intrinsically safe personnel monitors
With these instruments readily available, we can ensure a timely response. Furthermore, clients save money by not paying extra laboratory surcharges with high 24-hour turn around costs. All of our Emergency Response Units contain
Categorization Kit.
a multi-step Hazardous
Confined Space Entry: With years of field experience and the most current safety equipment available, we provide a safe, cost-effective confined space program. Confined space entries may possess one or all of the “big three” confined space hazards – oxygen deficiency, toxic materials, and fire/explosion conditions. We established a safety program in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.21, 29 CFR 1910.146 and NIOSH 80-106 for identifying and evaluating confined spaces to determine acceptable entry conditions. Even our vacuum truck/hydrojetter equipment operators are confined space entry trained, so that they can coordinate with underground crews effectively.
Trauma Scene Cleanup: Blood spills and trauma scenes are every day occurrences for Ocean Blue. We work with Sheriff’s departments and other law enforcement agencies to block off trauma scenes from the general public. From sanitizing, to paperwork, to transportation, to decontamination, to disposal, Ocean Blue is your turn key company for trauma scene cleanups. We are fast, efficient, discrete and cost effective.
We service the City of Long Beach, Orange County and Cal Trans all with 24/7 trauma scene cleanup services. Our teams know to preserve potential evidence—bullets & crime paraphernalia. We are trained to pick up & report any potential evidence material.

Scope of Services: Hazardous Waste Disposal
Types of Waste: Ocean Blue is fully licensed, certified and trained to categorize hazardous wastes. Once the waste is categorized we package & transport the waste to a disposal facility. Some of the wastes we manage include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Asbestos
Crude oil
Fuels, mineral oil, gasoline and diesel
Acids & Alkalines
Electronic waste & Lightbulbs
Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCB)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lead & Mercury
Chlorine
Waste tires
Treated wood
Biologically hazardous waste
Sewage and other regulated wastes
We stay in business by selling excellent service, not by charging excessive disposal fees. We are not owned by, nor own a TSDF; and therefore are not limited to transporting waste to any specific TSDF. We can help our clients choose the best disposal or recycling facilities for their needs. In choosing an appropriate TSDF, we consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Client’s disposal requirements
Disposal facility compliance & financial stability
Disposal methods offered
Facility inspection & audit results
Pricing
Ocean Blue will always recommend the
following disposal hierarchy in order of
preference:
•
•
•
•
Recycling
Treatment
Incineration
Landfill
Left: Performing the DTSC-mandated 90-day
hazardous waste pickup for the Los Angeles
County of Public Works (LACDPW). Every 90
days, we visit over 40 LACDPW yards to
pickup E-waste, Batteries Lightbulbs, Sharps,
Oils, Acids, Oxidizers, Flammables and more

All of our Clientele’s waste is identified,
separated, consolidated & packaged into proper
shipping containers. Waste oil, oil filters, used &
mixed fuels, light-bulbs, electronic waste, batteries
and oily debris are sent to local TSDFs
(preapproved by our waste router) for recycling.
Once the waste area is cleaned, we replace the
container’s waste labels and record the new waste
accumulation start dates. The proper storage &
labeling of drums is vital to maintaining DTSC
compliance. Additionally, Ocean Blue removes
used absorbent and replaces it with new absorbent
material, pressure washes the interior & exterior,
and any possible remaining stains in the vicinity.
Transportation: We own & operate a fleet of California Air Resource Board (CARB) compliant transportation vehicles. Our professional drivers are highly qualified and experienced in the waste transportation industry. In addition, our vehicles comprise one of the most modern and well-maintained transportation fleets in the environmental business. Our fleet include the following types:
•
•
•
•
Emergency Response Units
Vacuum Trucks
Box Vans
•
•
•
•
Roll-off Trucks
Flat beds
Stake-bed Trucks
40 yd, 20 yd closed & open-top bins Utility Trucks
Remediation: Ocean Blue has extensive
experience and regularly provides the following
methods of remediation.
•
•
•
Dig & haul
Internal Combustion units
Thermal oxidizing units
We use both traditional remediation methods
and innovative techniques to remove various
contaminants—including hydrocarbons, heavy
metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorinated
solvents, non-chlorinated solvents and mercury.

Scope of Services: Stormdrain Facility Maintenance Services and Flood response Our government clients always needed basic Stormwater services—whether hydro-jetting a line, or cleaning a catch basin—which we always provided. But within the last decade Stormwater regulation has become significantly more stringent. Our clients now needed a full-service Stormwater company to meet their operational needs. In an effort to better serve our clients, Ocean Blue invested & grew our Stormwater division.
Now when clients need 33,000 feet of storm drain hydro-jetted, or 1,000 catch basins inspected & cleaned, or need their 32 Hydrodynamic separators serviced regularly, Ocean Blue can provide these services at the same high level of professionalism you expect. Additionally, when flooding occurs, our municipal clients can expect a response time of less than 1-hour. We will also perform more specific stormwater maintenance services, such as the stenciling of individual basins, procuring/repairing grates and trash capture devices, and more.
City-wide Catch Basin cleaning: Ocean Blue cleans over
3,500 basins throughout various cities. Twice a year,
Ocean Blue inspects every single basin and cleans basins that are at least 40% impacted. Navigating City streets— sometimes during traffic hours—requires careful
planning. For additional ease, Ocean Blue fabricates
smaller combination pressure-washer/vacuum
combination units. These all-in-one units are class C
vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of under 26,000
pounds. In addition, our field technicians utilize smart tablets to report catch basins. In-field reporting
(Cityworks) allows for up-to-date information.

Bypass Jetting: Using our utility truck & specialized Jetter Vactor, we jet 27 bypasses and 180 culverts for debris (i.e. dirt & gravel). In order to effectively complete this scope of work, safety & traffic control are essential. Many times, bypass cleaning requires lane/shoulder closures using reflective cones & arrow boards. Confined space entry protocol is also sometimes used.
During inspections we found an inlet fully
impacted with concrete. We later mitigated
the problem area by performing confined
space entry and using heavy equipment
Hydrodynamic Separators: Ocean Blue currently holds Stormwater maintenance contracts for various Southern California Cities. We currently maintain over 50 hydrodynamic separators, each of which are cleaned 3 times a year. During inspections we open manholes to observe any floatables. Using a stadia rod we measure quantities of sediment located at the bottom of the Hydrodynamic Separator. Like the City’s catch basins, we perform inspections & cleanings together (rather than on separate occasions). All reports are thoroughly completed indicating any damages and screen conditions. We also report conditions of the inlet/outlet sumps.
Contech Filter Media cleaning and BMPs: Ocean Blue maintains Contech-filter-vault-cleaning contracts all across southern California.
Varying in size, these vaults are pressure washed once a year (or sooner should an illicit discharge occur). We are also familiar with bioretention units, bioswales, drywells and other underground infiltration systems.
Stormwater lift stations: We have extensive experience in providing lift station on-call services for the County and neighboring cities (vacuuming & monitoring). Specifically for Santa Ana, Ocean Blue will work closely with Arnaz Engineering—the current lift station maintenance provider— to meet City needs (electrical & mechanical repair).
Installation of Gates and BMPs: Ocean Blue can install custom gates & trash excluder devices like automatic retractable screen covers, connector pipe screens, and/or flex storm drain filter inserts. Based on screen length & height, bypass height, we will custom fabricate screens for best fit. All devices are County approved. In addition, we can perform any citymandated stenciling while retrofitting catch basins. ♦ LONG BEACH ♦ ♦ SAN DIEGO ♦

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Lauren Marshall, Sr. Management Analyst
Subject: Discussion, Consideration and Approval of Proposed Solid Waste Rate Adjustment and Adoption of Resolution 2023-69
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Waste Management has submitted the proposed solid waste rate increase for 2024. The City's Franchise Agreement with Waste Management (Agreement) allows for an annual rate adjustment based upon a formula factoring in changes to the:
• Consumer Price Index (CPI), and
• Landfill and disposal costs.
The annual rate adjustment formula for the 2024 Service Component and Disposal Component (respectively defined below) for residential and commercial customer totals 4.70%.
The proposed ratepayer “Public Notice” with proposed rate tables using this adjustment formula was postmarked September 28-29, 2023. The notice also proposes a five-year rate adjustment methodology without the Proposition 218 notification process (mailing citywide notifications to all property owners and occupants) as long as the annual CPI does not exceed 5%. In all cases the proposed rate increase must be reviewed by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that Council:
• Open the public hearing as required by Proposition 218; • Take public testimony and accept any additional written protests; • Close the Public Hearing, and the Mayor shall ask the City Clerk to provide a count of all written protests received; and
• Provided there is no “majority protest” (50% + 1 of all parcels) against the proposed rate adjustment, consider all evidence and testimony presented and adopt Resolution 2023- 69 adopting solid waste rates to be effective January 1, 2024-December 31, 2024

including a five-year adjustment methodology without the Proposition 218 notification process if the annual CPI does not exceed 5% (see Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to all residential and commercial rate payers if this request is approved is a
4.70% increase to the current solid waste rates.
The proposed rate increase was calculated using the methodology below consistent with the provisions of the franchise agreement.

Please note, the Rate Components have been incorporated into rates for Residential and Commercial customers. Residential rate costs related to SB 1383 compliance are also included in Attachment 2. These costs are detailed in this staff report’s Discussion/Analysis section.
This rate adjustment is a formula set within the Agreement and is based on a ratio of the following two components and further outlined in below:
1. The “Service Component,” which consists of Waste Management’s operational costs to provide service (e.g. trucks, fuel, labor, etc.) and is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI)
2. The “Disposal Component,” which is based on landfill and disposal costs (including organics compliance under new State laws)
Solid waste rates are paid for by residential and commercial properties in the City and are based on meeting disposal and processing compliance measures set forth by the State of California.
Please refer to the rate tables attached to the proposed Public Notice in Attachment 3 for full residential and commercial rates proposed for calendar year 2024.

Proposed Five-Year Rate Adjustment Method
Prop 218 allows for annual inflationary increases without requiring the full citywide mailing, notification and majority protest process. While a public hearing is required to set the rates, a maximum annual inflationary schedule can be applied to the rates without triggering the full Prop 218 process. Council can adopt a maximum rate formula for such annual adjustments pursuant to Section 53756 of the Government Code—however, such applied schedule cannot be applied for a period exceeding five (5) years (i.e., January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2029). After the five-year period, any further rate adjustment must go through the full Prop 218 process. Further, should any overall increase in any year exceed 5%, a further public hearing and Proposition 218 notice and protest process will be held before the City Council.
To meet all these requirements, in addition to the proposed rate increase for 2024, the Council is being asked to consider authorizing a maximum annual adjustment over a five-year period that shall not exceed 5%. Furthermore, Waste Management will continue to provide notice of the annual rate adjustment to all solid waste customers at least 30 days prior to the effective date of January 1 each year.
Should the Council choose to accept the five-year “automatic” adjustment methodology, the City will save $60,000 by avoiding having to do a Prop 218 mailing for subsequent years 2 through 5.
In all cases, the annual rate adjustment must be brought before the City Council for a public hearing to review each year. If the proposed rate increase is greater than 5.00% then the public hearing process will include a Proposition 218 notice mailed citywide.
Proposition 218 Administration
The cost to administer the Proposition 218 process required a general fund appropriation of $17,567.69. This appropriation included costs for printing and postage of the Public Notice (Attachment 2) to all rate payers (parcel owners and occupants), as well as costs related to publishing the notice for a public hearing twice in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin during the 45- day Proposition 218 noticing period.
BACKGROUND
In a letter dated August 22, 2023 to the City, Waste Management requested a rate adjustment effective January 1, 2024 along with the rate adjustment methodology (Attachment 3). This letter outlines Waste Management’s justification for the proposed rate adjustments for both commercial and residential rates.
Franchise Agreement Terms
The City of San Dimas entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste Management Services (Agreement) with Waste Management of San Gabriel/Pomona Valley (WM) on October 31, 2017. The Agreement included a rate adjustment formula for annual rate adjustments.

For the Meeting of November 14, 2023
Staff has engaged an outside consultant to assist with the implementation of the new State mandate Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which relates to mandatory organics recycling and heightened waste reporting, as encompassed in the City’s recently-adopted San Dimas Municipal Code Chapter 8.12. As part of the State law implementation, Staff and the City’s consultant, HF&H Consultants LLC (HF&H), has reviewed the requested rate adjustment for contractual compliance and mathematical accuracy. The consultant and Staff’s subsequent analysis finds the requested rate adjustments comply with the Agreement and are mathematically accurate as reflecting the costs of providing refuse, recycling and organics services. Based on the information provided by Waste Management and confirmed by HF&H, staff believes the adjustment for residential and commercial rates is a reasonable methodology, compliant not only with the Agreement, but also compliant with Proposition 218 (discussed further below) in terms of proportionally reflecting the costs of providing Waste Management’s services.
Each year, a rate adjustment is proposed by Waste Management for City Council approval. The rate adjustment itself, is a formula set within the Agreement and is based on a ratio of 1) the Service Component which is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI), and 2) a Disposal Component based on landfill and disposal costs. The CPI information is obtained from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). The Disposal Component is based upon the actual increase in disposal costs for each of the disposal facilities used and weighted based upon the percentage of waste disposed at each facility.
Proposition 218 Notice and Procedural Requirements; Protest Process Rules In 1996 Proposition 218 (Prop 218) was passed to add Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. Article XIII D imposes procedural and substantive limitations on assessments of real property and on certain types of fees. Prop 218’s majority protest process is a significant legal and informational element to the rate setting process for any fee related to mandated utility services to a real property parcel. This process adheres to the following steps:
• Schedule a public hearing, which public hearing requires 45 days’ of mailed public noticing to adopt the rate adjustments. See 45-day Public Notice at Attachment 2, with the proposed maximum rate schedules.
• Mail the Public Notice (Attachment 2) describing the proposed rate adjustments to all property owners and occupants subject to the rate adjustments. • During the 45-day period following the Public Notice, the City will accept any eligible written protests from property owners and occupants subject to the rate adjustments (protests can be received until the end of the public hearing). • Only one rate protest per property will be counted. For example, if the property owner and their tenant file a protest, only one will be counted for that property. • After the public hearing, and assuming a majority of protests (50% plus one) is not received, conduct a vote of the City Council to adopt the rate adjustments. • The rate adjustments currently proposed will become effective on January 1, 2024, after the public hearing.
• Further details about the procedural requirements for this majority protest process are outlined in the Public Notice at Attachment 2.
On September 12, 2023, the City Council approved mailing the Public Notice, in a form finalized by the City Attorney, to San Dimas property owners and occupants subject to Waste Management’s proposed rate adjustment. City Council also approved the setting of the Public Hearing on the majority protest for November 14, 2023.
