INFRASTRUCTURE, INCORPORATED FOR SAN GABRIEL RAILROAD
TRENCH MAINTENANCE SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $108,000, WHICH INCLUDES A 20% CONTINGENCY [RESOLUTION NO. 26-35]
As part of the 2011 agreement for the construction, operation and maintenance of the 2.25 mile San Gabriel Trench Grade-Separation Project between the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, and the City of San Gabriel, the City is responsible for all maintenance, repair, replacement and improvements to the rail corridor support structures and overhead gradeseparated structures. This includes the bridges at Ramona Street, Mission Road, Del Mar Avenue, and San Gabriel Boulevard, as well as abetment of vegetation, trash and graffiti. Due to the specialized nature and knowledge involved with these activities, including the permitting, flagging, and railroad coordination involved, the City has historically contracted these services using Proposition C funds.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed action is exempt from the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The Agreement provides for routine trench maintenance activities, including inspections, repairs, and upkeep of existing structures and facilities, with no expansion of use or physical alteration of the trench beyond its existing condition. Therefore, the project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption, and no further environmental review is required.

I. ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT RENEWAL FOR CROSSING GUARD SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,160

Upon expiration, the City and ACMS entered an additional three-year contract with the final two years' costs locked at $130,664.
