to tell any flavored tobacco product. To enforce such an ordinance, the Santa Ana Police Department will expand its current Tobacco Retailer License program enforcement operations as follows:
Weekly business compliance checks to ensure that no flavored tobacco products are sold on premises.
Increased use of undercover decoy programs to identify businesses selling prohibited tobacco products.
Additional infraction citations issued when illicit products are located. Increased permit staff time to revoke tobacco retailer licenses for habitual business offenders.

The current funding associated with the Tobacco Retailer License program has the capacity to absorb the added responsibility to ensure compliance with the proposed prohibition on the sale of flavored tobacco.

If adopted, the ordinance would take effect 30 days thereafter.

TOPIC: Reprographic Paper and Envelopes
AGENDA TITLE:

Award Blanket Order Contracts to Office Depot, LLC and Veritiv Operating Company in an Annual Aggregate Amount Not to Exceed $80,000 for up to a Four-Year Term for the Purchase of Reprographic Paper and Envelopes (Specification No. 21-088) (General and Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award blanket order contracts to Office Depot, LLC and Veritiv Operating Company to provide reprographic paper and envelopes in an annual aggregate amount of $80,000 for a one-year period beginning April 1, 2022 and expiring March 31, 2023, with provision for three one-year renewals by mutual agreement, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

302 Vendors were notified

Since only one bid was received, Purchasing staff conducted research into why vendors did not submit a bid. Feedback from vendors indicated the paper industry is currently experiencing shortages due to supply chain disruptions and frequent pricing increases on all paper grades. Therefore, vendors could not commit to pricing as requested for a contract term.

With the industry volatility, staff recommends entering into a contract with an additional vendor to ensure availability and to allow for competitive quotes on orders throughout the contract. Veritiv Operating Company is a current vendor supplying paper to the City and has performed satisfactorily.

TOPIC: Replace Air Conditioning Unit at the Ross Annex

AGENDA TITLE
Award a Purchase Order in an Amount Not to Exceed $323,827 to Trane U.S. Inc., dba Trane for Replacement of an Air Conditioning Unit in the Ross Annex Portion of City Hall (Specification No. 22-024) (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a purchase order to Trane U.S. Inc., dba Trane in the amount of $281,589, with a contingency amount of $42,238, for a total amount not to exceed $323,827, to replace an air conditioning unit at the Ross Annex, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Building Maintenance Division oversees City facilities to ensure mechanical systems operate safely and efficiently, and meet all applicable laws and regulations. The commercial-grade rooftop heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at the Ross Annex contains three air conditioning units. Two of the three units were replaced in the past 2 years, after 22 years of service. The remaining air conditioning unit is frequently out of order, requires continuous repairs, and operates at 50 percent capacity. As such, staff recommends replacing the unit.

The existing unit is manufactured by Trane and staff seeks to replace it with a unit produced by the same manufacturer, as it will provide a seamless transition, given that the current support system already accommodates the weight, size, and location of the new unit. Utilizing equipment from a different manufacturer could result in a change in size, weight, and location of supports and connection points, requiring additional engineering, structural, and mechanical modifications. Such modifications would significantly increase the cost and add a significant amount of time to the replacement schedule.

Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency employing a competitive bid process. Harford County Public Schools awarded a contract to Trane U.S. Inc. (Contract No. RFP #15-JLP-023) for the procurement of comprehensive HVAC products, installation, services and related products and services. The contract was awarded as a result of open, competitive City Council 15 – 1 3/15/2022

bidding. Staff recommends utilizing the Harford County Public Schools contract to authorize a one-time purchase and payment of purchase order to Trane for the purchase and installation of a new air conditioning unit for the Ross Annex, which is in line with the City’s existing Purchasing Guidelines.

This change order covers the following added tasks and components:

1. Design of View Decks (2) including supporting retaining walls

2. Supporting studies for view decks (foundation reports, CLOMR preparation)

3. Related designs of creek bank grading and planting

4. Permitting (401, 404, 1601) for creek incursion by view decks

5. Miscellaneous components (gate shift, pseudo-pedestrian bridge, etc.) We greatly appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal for your consideration. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 949-293-6537 (mobile), or via email at [email protected].

Very truly yours,

EXHIBIT A
City Council 17 – 7 3/15/2022
RFP No. 20-154
Santiago Park Main Street Entrance Design

BASIS FOR CHANGE ORDER
Background
The City of Santa Ana wants to upgrade the Main Street Entrance to Santiago Park to be more attractive for users and provide a positive expression of Santa Ana’s high value of park facilities in the city. The Santiago Creek Trail Access plan and related descriptions provided with the RFP defined a series of components to be included in the design.

From our research of available information, several site visits (including the original kick-off meeting), 2 draft submittals of concept plan sets and comments made on them by City staff and other communications, a final concept plan has been created and is shown on the next page. It is part of the basis for this change order proposal.

The original contract between the City and H&A had been established to remain under a $250,000 funding limit with scope reductions by eliminating view deck incursion into the 100 year floodplain of Santiago Creek since the incursion would lead to higher construction costs plus extensive secondary impacts and increased engineering fees. For this change order proposal, the funding limit has been dropped and the view decks impinge on the FEMA floodplain triggering the impacts that were avoided by the initial contract scope.

City Responsibilities

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
H&A has included the design and permits related to the design within our scope and fee; however, the City will need to take some supportive actions due to the changed configuration.

We believe the new configuration will render the present Categorical Exemption for the project void (note the existing document also does not have the correct project location). The criteria from the CEQA law is as follows:
(a) Grading on land with a slope of less than 10 percent, except that grading shall not be exempt in a waterway, in any wetland, in an officially designated (by federal, state or local)…

The placement of the view decks and supporting retaining walls will be on a slope more that 10% and in a waterway. The result would be the need to restart the environmental process with the outcome likely a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Also jurisdictional delineation of wetlands and identification of limits of riparian areas will be necessary. H&A suggests the City address this proactively once the design information is available to prevent significant delay.

GRANT DOCUMENTATION
H&A has been provided a copy of the City application for a Coastal Conservancy Grant of $250,000 for the planning and design of these improvements (hence the original contract limit of $250,000). Upon review of the application, based on the new project configuration, there are significant non-compliances with the following sections that we believe may need to be addressed by the City and resolved with the grant agency before requesting reimbursement:

11 – Environmental Review – revised document must be reviewed and approved by grant agency 12 – Permits – originally only building permit, now Federal and State permits for work within 100 year floodplain 13 – Wetland/Riparian Area – original response was no, now will be yes since work within 100 year floodplain

H&A Responsibilities

VIEW DECKS
There are 2 to be constructed on concrete retaining walls extending to below the creek bottom. To accommodate the new retaining walls a portion of the existing walls will be removed since there is no documentation available to determine if the new structure can be safely supported by the existing walls. The deck will be constructed of wood and cantilever 2 feet from the face of the new retaining wall above the creek. The design of the view decks will require that the present H&A Team be augmented by adding back a structural engineering firm Cho Design Associates who will develop the design and provide support during construction.

A foundation report will be prepared for each location including a boring, field and laboratory testing and analysis to establish the foundation design parameters.

Related construction includes demolition of a portion of the existing wall, grading of the disturbed section of the creek bank and landscaping to stabilize the slope and prevent erosion

CREEK FLOODPLAIN EFFORTS
FEMA has adopted a Flood Insurance Rate Mate for this location support by a Flood Insurance Study. This defines the 100-year floodplain limits as being within the channel banks, but the base flood elevation is close to the top of the channel.

Additional field topo will be done to establish the existing creek cross sections extending from 100 feet upstream of the pedestrian bridge to 100 feet downstream of the Main Street bridge for purposes of hydraulic modeling.

Hydraulic modeling of the existing creek conditions will be done using HEC-RAS software and calibrated to fit the supporting calculations doe to establish the FEMA floodplain. Next the view decks and retaining walls will be added to the model to determine the impact on the base flood elevation, extent of the floodplain and related characteristics. The results will be the basis for submittal to the U.S. Corps of Engineers for a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision).

The wood portion for the view decks will be built about the revised base flood elevation and grading of pedestrian pathways for access done in accordance with ADA requirements.

CREEK RELATED PERMITTING
Due to the construction within the creek and related floodplain, the project will require approval of the Corps under Section 404 (discharge of fill into waters), Regional Water Quality Control Board under Section 401 and a Section 1601 Streambed Alteration agreement from the California Fish and Wildlife agency in addition to completion of the CLOMR procedure.

OTHER ACTIVITIES ADDED TO SCOPE
Due to the lengthy reviews done to date and the anticipated permitting efforts, H&A has added 6 progress reports since the completion date has been extended 6 months from the schedule established at the June 2021 kick-off meeting.

Additional design components include the “pseudo-pedestrian bridge” over the rock lined ditch (modify City detail to fit project specific location), relocation of entry gate for increased space from Main Street to gate, expanded site plans to include creek bank to show disturbed areas and added construction.

TASK 4 – BIDDING SUPPORT, CONSTRUCTION

ADMINISTRATION AND RECORD DRAWINGS
The H&A Team looks forward to supporting City staff in the bidding and construction process since we agree the design team can be very valuable during this critical stage in protecting the City from problems. H&A has anticipated both pre-bid and pre-construction meetings to be attended and is ready to provide rapid responses to any issues that arise from City staff. The H&A Team will also be proactive in warning the City and contractor of potential problems based on our intimate knowledge of the bid documents.

Staff Report
March 15, 2022
TOPIC: Garnsey Business District Pavement Improvements

AGENDA TITLE
Award a Construction Contract to All American Asphalt in the Amount of $4,189,151, for the Garnsey Business District Pavement Improvements FY 2021-22 Project, with an Estimated Project Delivery Cost of $4,763,666 (Project No. 22-6991) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Award a construction contract to All American Asphalt, the lowest responsible bidder, in accordance with the base bid in the amount of $4,189,151, for construction of the Garnsey Business District Pavement Improvements FY 2020-21, for the term beginning March 15, 2022, and ending upon project completion, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.

2. Approve the Project Cost Analysis for a total estimated construction delivery cost of $4,763,666, which includes $4,189,151 for the construction contract; $335,132 for contract administration, inspection and testing; and a $239,383 project contingency for unanticipated or unforeseen work.

DISCUSSION
The Garnsey Business District (Exhibit 1) is in a state of disrepair and the Garnsey Business District Pavement Improvements Project will reconstruct the local interior roadway network within the District. The scope of work involves fully reconstructing a pavement section, repair of longitudinal gutters, and replacement of damaged curb and gutter, curb ramps, and sidewalk. Traffic signage and striping will also be replaced.

Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register newspaper on January 14 and January 21, 2022. The project was also advertised on PlanetBids, and bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on February 1, 2022.

TOPIC: Amend Agreement for Tree Maintenance Services

AGENDA TITLE
Amend the Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for Tree Maintenance Services, Increasing the Annual Amount by $145,000 for the Remaining Term of the Agreement (General and Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc., for tree maintenance services, increasing the annual amount by $145,000, for a total amount not to exceed $2,164,100, for the remaining term of the agreement ending on December 31, 2022, with six one-year renewal options exercisable by the City Manager, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $16,230,750, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 50,000 parkway and street median trees, with the primary goal of preserving the integrity and health of the Santa Ana Urban Forest. Street tree pruning services have been performed by contract for over 25 years, in partnership with City staff. Performing proper and timely tree trimming extends the life cycle of the urban forest by decreasing the likelihood of limb failures, preventing safety hazards to the public and reducing the City’s liability.

On November 17, 2020, the City entered into an agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc., (WCA), the current tree maintenance provider, in the amount of $3,028,650 for the first 18 months and $2,109,100 annually to exercise any of the six one-year renewal options. WCA has served the community's urban forest needs by pruning approximately 15,000 trees a year. They have also implemented an inventory system utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for all City street trees and prepared an inventory for the City's use. This GPS inventory has led to more efficient tree inspections and pruning, improved accuracy in record-keeping, and timely production of information relevant to service requests and liability claim investigations.

On January 18, 2022, during the General Fund First Quarter Budget Update presentation, the City Council authorized a spending plan to improve service levels for the public. As City Council 21 – 1 3/15/2022

a result, the street tree maintenance services program was allocated an additional $100,000 annually beginning with Fiscal Year 2021-22. These additional funds will be utilized to prune additional trees and provide the flexibility of using WCA staff to assist with emergency response efforts during and after windstorm events.

Public Works operations that oversee the maintenance of City-owned trees on off-street properties, such as the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center and the City Corporate Yard, have expressed an interest in securing these tree services on an as-needed basis in an amount of $45,000 annually. In total, the annual funding increase for tree maintenance services will be $145,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.

FISCAL IMPACT
The 12-month portion of the current agreement approved for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2021-22 is not to exceed $2,019,100. With approval of this requested amendment, the annual expenditure amount will increase by $145,000 to a total not to exceed $2,164,100.

Funding for the amended agreement is budgeted and available in the Fiscal Year 2021- 22 Council-approved budget and will be budgeted in future years in the following accounts:

AGENDA TITLE
Amend the Agreement with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. for Graffiti Removal Services, Increasing the Annual Amount for Fiscal Year 2021-22 by $300,000, and by $600,000 Annually for the Remaining Term of the Agreement (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. for graffiti removal services, increasing the amount for Fiscal Year 2021-22 by $300,000, for a total amount not to exceed $1,660,000, and increasing the annual amount by $600,000, for a total amount not to exceed $1,960,000 for the remaining term of the agreement ending on October 31, 2023, with five, one-year renewal options exercisable by the City Manager, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $14,979,667, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division is responsible for citywide graffiti removal from locations that are visible on and adjacent to the right-of-way, including park facilities, bike lanes, and other high-traffic areas that are prone to graffiti.

Graffiti removal services have been contracted since 2011 and provide removal at nearly 135,000 sites annually, with an average response time of 48 hours or less.

On July 21, 2020, the City entered into a three-year agreement with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. (GPC), the current graffiti removal provider, in an amount not to exceed $1,360,000 annually, with the option to grant up to five one-year renewals. GPC has provided exceptional graffiti removal services for the City since 2014, removing graffiti from approximately 135,000 sites annually, of which 100,000 removals are proactive and 35,000 are in response to public service requests.

On January 18, 2022, during the General Fund First Quarter Budget Update presentation, the City Council authorized a spending plan to increase service levels to the public. As a result, the graffiti removal services program was allocated an additional $300,000 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $600,000 in future funding on an on-going, yearly basis. The funds will be used to add three technicians to support the current team of six that services City Council 22 – 1 3/15/2022

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual expenditures approved in the current agreement are not to exceed $1,360,000 annually. With approval of the requested amendment, the annual expenditure amount will increase by $300,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22, and $600,000 annually for the remaining year of the three-year agreement and for any of the five renewal options that may be exercised, for a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $14,979,667.

TOPIC: Building Forward: Library Infrastructure Grant Resolution AGENDA TITLE:

Resolution Authorizing the Submission of the Building Forward: Library Infrastructure Grant Application to the California State Library, and if Awarded, Acceptance and Execution of the Grant Funds for Library Critical Maintenance, Life Safety, and Infrastructure Needs

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of a Building Forward: Library Infrastructure Grant Application for library critical maintenance, life safety, and infrastructure needs; and if awarded, approval to accept funds, implement the awarded project; and designate Library Services Director Brian Sternberg as the Authorized Representative to enter into the grant agreement.

DISCUSSION
On February 8, 2022, the California State Library announced it was accepting applications for its Building Forward: Library Infrastructure Grant Program for more than $400 million in one-time funding to address critical maintenance needs and public safety improvements at public libraries. The maximum grant per library facility is $10 million. The grant application deadline is March 21, 2022.

The Library Services Department requests submitting a grant application for the Main Library for the maximum amount allowable of $10 million. If awarded, the grant funds would supplement the $7 million in Revive Santa Ana funding received in Fiscal Year 2021-22 for the Main Library Transformation Project, along with any future Revive Santa Ana funding allocated in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The grant offers an opportunity to provide additional funding to upgrade the Main Library, while restoring its original character and strengthening its link to Santa Ana’s history. This funding would cover significant costs related to the building’s structural elements and mechanical systems and free up Revive Santa Ana funding to create innovative, multigenerational learning and play spaces throughout the building.

City Council 23 – 1 3/15/2022
Building Forward: Library Infrastructure Grant Resolution March 15, 2022

The grant request would focus on critical maintenance and public safety projects, such as the following:
Replacement of fire detection, alarm, and sprinkler systems Restoration of a crumbling marble façade
Restoration of windows
ADA improvements, including restrooms, elevators, and stairwells Replacement of an antiquated HVAC system
Replacement/upgrade of electrical and plumbing systems The grant prioritizes funding for local libraries in high-poverty areas. While a dollar-for- dollar match is required, applicants may request a reduction of the match based upon their Local Operating Income Per Capital (LIPC) level. The City of Santa Ana’s LIPC level is $15 or less, which qualifies the City for the potential elimination of the entire match requirement.

The City’s LIPC level as well as the overall project timeframe help add to the City’s competitive advantage. The Library and Public Works have already completed the public bidding process for architectural and engineering services for the overall Main Library Transformation Project. An agreement with the selected firm will be brought to the Council for approval in the coming weeks.

Currently, the tentative project timeline is as follows:
Award Design Contract – March 2022
Complete Design/Construction Documents – January 2023
Public Bidding for Construction Services – February 2023 Award Construction Contract – May 2023
Complete Construction – May 2025
Grant Closeout – August 2025
If awarded, grant funds must be fully expended by March 31, 2026. The tentative schedule meets the deadline and allows cushion for any unexpected occurrences.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. If awarded the grant, staff will return to the City Council for approval of the grant agreement and to recognize and appropriate the grant funds.

Staff Report
March 15, 2022
TOPIC: Assembly Bill 361
AGENDA TITLE:

Consider Approving the Continued Use of Teleconferencing for Meetings of City Council and All Boards, Committees, and Commissions Pursuant to the Provisions of Assembly Bill 361

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to consider continuing the use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, committee, and commission meetings pursuant to the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 for the next 30 days.

DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Brown Act in order to allow legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means. City Council meetings have been conducted by Zoom with councilmembers and staff all joining from remote locations when necessary.

The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by Governor Newsom on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21 which continued to allow completely virtual City Council (and other legislative body) meetings. This order stayed in effect until September 30, 2021.

In response, AB 361 was signed into effect by Governor Newsom on September 16, 2021.

It amends the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually, provided there is a state of emergency, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

The City of Santa Ana’s current practices with respect to live public comment via Zoom already satisfy all of the new requirements in AB 361. Additionally, the individual City Council 24 – 1 3/15/2022

legislative bodies can make their own findings for the AB 361 telecommuting resolution for future meetings. Determinations to continue to utilize remote meetings as allowed by AB 361 must be re-visited by the legislative body every 30 days with the support of new findings. Staff recommends this extension period to act as a helpful transitional stage for boards, committees, and commissions who still currently meet virtually.

Most recently on February 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-015, making the required findings under AB 361 in order to allow the City to continue to offer teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, 2021, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The attached resolution (Exhibit 1) declares additional findings to allow for the continued use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, commission, and committee meetings pursuant to AB 361.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
