CITY OF SANTA ANA
other circumstances that could cause the removal or contamination of evidence.
Access to this area by employees or other individuals shall also be restricted. This facility shall be capable of storing a minimum of four
(4) mid-sized vehicles for the City of Santa Ana and sufficient space to conduct forensic analysis of the vehicle on-site if necessary.
7. Vehicles impounded pursuant to CVC § 10751 shall be placed in an area of the storage facility that will provide sufficient space and privacy, allowing auto theft investigators to perform a vehicle inspection without delay. This requirement shall be required for the first ten (10) days of impound.
8. Vehicles will not be released, sold or dismantled until a signed release form has been obtained from the Santa Ana Police Department. The signed release form will be kept by the towing company as proof of authority for the release.
9. Release forms are required for impounded vehicles and vehicles with a “hold” placed on them by police department personnel. The release form will indicate they are from the Santa Ana Police Department and shall only be signed by authorized members of the Police Department.
a. Stolen vehicles recovered by the Police Department will be released to the victim/owner by the Contractor with proof of ownership. Unless specifically noted, no release will be required from the Police Department. b. Stolen vehicles recovered by the Police Department requiring further investigation as determined by the handling officer will be impounded pursuant to CVC § 22655.5, thereby placing a hold on the vehicle. The impound box will be marked along with an explanation in the narrative. These vehicles will not be released until the victim/owner obtains a release from the Police Department. c. If the owner of the vehicle is unable to prove ownership to the tow agency, they will be referred to the Santa Ana Police Department and a release will be issued once ownership is established.
d. If a registered owner is unable to retrieve their vehicle from storage, a vehicle authorization form shall be provided by the Contractor to the person authorized to pick-up the vehicle. The authorized recipient, on behalf of the registered owner, will be required to provide identification for the Contractor to photocopy (front/back).
10. When a vehicle is impounded, the towing company will place the word “hold” or other similar notation on the windshield of the vehicle. This is to minimize unauthorized contact with the vehicle and to provide control measures to prevent the inadvertent release.
a. The responsibility for determining and placing the word “hold” or other similar notation on the windshield of the vehicle will be the responsibility of the Contractor at the time of vehicle possession. The Contractor’s employee signature on the storage/impound report will acknowledge an understanding of the type of report completed by the officer and any necessary holds. The Contractor should clarify any misunderstandings or omissions on the report at this time.
11. Vehicles towed or stored with an “evidence hold” shall not be touched, moved or City Council 20 – 89 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
tampered with in any manner without the written consent of the City’s Project Manager or designee.
12. The Contractor agrees to tow and store vehicles taken pursuant to an “evidence hold” as defined in CVC §§ 22655.5 or 22655(a) without charge to the City and agrees to release the vehicle to the owner at the City’s request. The initial towing fee shall be billed to the owner of the vehicle. Unless waived in whole or in part by the City’s Project Manager, the tow company may pursue collections from the registered owner for the initial towing fees. Furthermore, the Contractor may attempt to collect these fees, or make arrangements to collect these fees, at the time of release but shall not hold the vehicle in lieu of payment unless specifically authorized by the City’s Project Manager or designee.
13. In any case where the Police Department inadvertently and/or erroneously causes the impound or storage of a vehicle, or fails to properly notify the owner in a timely manner, the Contractor agrees to release the vehicle at the request of the City’s Project Manager or designee and waive all fees or charges associated with the tow.
14. Any personal property released from a vehicle shall occur at the business office or primary storage facility and shall require authorization from the Police Department.
All property shall be released pursuant to CVC § 22851(b) and CVC § 22651.07.
Personal property includes any property not affixed to the vehicle (e.g. clothes, cell phones, papers, pull-out / detachable face radios, etc.) J. CUSTOMER SERVICE
Contractor shall provide service which is accessible, courteous, responsive, timely, equitable and given in the spirit of professionalism and mutual respect. Contractor’s personnel are a reflection of the City of Santa Ana and, as such, are expected to:
1. Interact with customers and City officials, whether in person or on the phone, in a pleasant, respectful and professional manner.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
K. RATES AND FEES
Notwithstanding other provisions of this agreement related to rates and fees, the Contractor agrees to comply with the following provisions as they relate to rates and fees charged in accordance with this agreement:
1. For services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Contractor shall collect towing, storage and other service fees from the vehicle owner at the time of release. Said fees shall comply with the Santa Ana Police Department’s Towing and Storage Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit 4, and incorporated by this reference.
2. The Contractor acknowledges that the fee schedule is intended to list the maximum amounts for services rendered but nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Contractor from charging less than the maximum fee allowed.
3. Nothing shall prohibit a Contractor from sending a Class B, C or D tow truck to a call requiring a lighter class tow truck to perform requested services. However, the Contactor acknowledges that fees may only be charged for the class necessary to perform the requested services and not necessarily for the class of tow truck dispatched to the call.
4. No fees may be charged for personnel, equipment or services reasonably necessary to perform the required service.
5. No lien shall be placed on the vehicle for services performed or initiated, and subsequently cancelled on-scene by the Santa Ana Police Department, unless the Contractor has presented a written statement to the vehicle’s registered owner or agent for the signed authorization of services to be performed pursuant to Civil Code § 3068(a).
a. The Contractor shall not attempt to take possession of a vehicle in order to establish a lien for any services performed or initiated and subsequently cancelled.
b. The Contractor shall not bill the City of Santa Ana or Santa Ana Police Department for any services performed or initiated, and subsequently cancelled by the department. However, in such cases, the incident shall not be considered a rotational call and the Contractor shall be returned to the top of the rotation list.
6. The Towing and Storage Fee Schedule shall be posted in the business offices, storage facilities and tow trucks pursuant to CVC § 22651.07.
7. Rate adjustments may be considered based on the criteria in Section VI of the Scope of Services, Subsection B, 4, located below.
8. Contractor’s failure to comply with the Towing and Storage Fee Schedule shall be subject to disciplinary action.
9. The Contractor shall not seek payment from the City of SantaAna for services provided pursuant to this Agreement. However, the City shall be responsible for the following charges ordered by the City pursuant to this Agreement:
a. Collision cleanup pursuant to Section IV, Subsection N, below; City Council 20 – 91 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
b. Other services authorized by the City’s Project Manager prior to the performance of said duties.
L. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
1. The Contractor shall have a Carrier Identification and a valid Motor Carrier Property (MCP) permit, which shall be provided to the City’s Project Manager or designee. The expiration or suspension of the MCP shall result in immediate suspension from the rotation list as well as possible disciplinary action.
2. There may be times when the Contractor comes across a vehicle blocking the roadway although not assigned to the call or next on the rotation list. At the discretion of the officer at the scene, the Contractor may be directed to assist in moving the vehicle to the side of the roadway only. This service shall be provided without cost to the City or vehicle owner, and shall not affect the Contractor’s position on the rotation list.
3. The Contractor shall be held accountable for all vehicles, personal property and vehicle accessories once the vehicle is in the possession of the driver and/or stored at their facility. The Contractor agrees to relieve the City, its officers, agents and employees of all responsibility once the vehicle is in the custody of the Contractor.
4. There shall be no photography or video recording at the scene of a tow or collision by the Contractor or any employee unless directly related to the towing operation.
Photographs or video recordings shall only be directed at vehicles or the area immediately surrounding the vehicle but in no case shall capture any image of a person(s) injured or killed at the scene.
5. The Contractor, nor any employee of the Contractor, shall accept from any person or offer a gratuity to any member of the City in violation of CVC § 12110(a) and the City’s gift ban ordinance.
6. The Contractor shall remain in compliance with CVC § 10652 as required.
7. Due to the negative perception of Private Party Impounds (PPI’s) and the nexus to predatory towing practices, whether actual or perceived, the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Police Department have an interest in ensuring any Contractor working on its behalf is not associated with these practices. In addition, tow companies that engage in PPI’s are subjected to complaints and investigations on a more frequent basis than those that do not participate in this facet of the towing business. Therefore, the City strongly discourages any Contractor assigned to the rotational tow list from engaging in PPI’s within the corporate limits of the City of Santa Ana. Subject to the investigative process outlined in the RFP, any company found to be in violation of PPI regulations including, but not limited to, applicable sections of CVC § 22658 or any other laws or regulations associated with PPI’s shall be subject to suspension or immediate removal from the rotation list for sustained complaints or convictions for violations of the law.
M. UTILIZATION OF DISPATCH AND TRACKING SOLUTIONS SOFTWARE The City currently does not use dispatch and tracking software for rotational towing administration.
City Council 20 – 92 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
The Contractor must be willing to enter into a separate agreement, contract, or license if the City acquires the use of dispatch and tracking software or any other software solution implemented by the City, with the owner of that proprietary software. The City shall not provide the software program, any licensing or sub- licensing thereof or any intermediary services for the procurement by the Contractor of the software program.
This Contract shall not be executed by the City until the Contractor has demonstrated to the City’s Project Manager or designee satisfactory compliance with the requirements set forth herein. The Contractor shall be liable for all fees, charges, rates and service charges required for the procurement and use of dispatch and tracking software or any similar software solution.
N. RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN RESPONDING TO CALLS FOR SERVICES
1. When the Contractor is called to the scene of a vehicle tow or a collision scene, the Contractor’s employee will clean-up all debris at the scene in accordance with CVC § 27700 without charge to the City.
a. Police employees should not call a rotational tow to the scene of a collision for the sole purpose of cleaning up debris. However, should this occur or become necessary, the Contractor may bill the City for the cost of the response in accordance with the City’s Towing and Storage Fee Schedule.
O. PERFORMANCE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER OR DISASTERS
1. The Contractor acknowledges that the services provided under this contract are integral to the operations of the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Police Department. Therefore, the Contractor agrees to perform the duties of this contract regardless of weather or other adverse conditions including, but not limited to, any disasters whether man-made or acts of God.
2. During periods of inclement weather or disaster, the Contractor shall agree to adjust staffing levels to meet the increased demands for service during these times.
3.

P. PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC AND DAMAGES TO EXISTING STRUCTURES
1. The Contractor shall exercise due care and caution at all times for the protection of all persons and property. All fines, penalties and/or repair charges resulting from the Contractor’s actions shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
exercising due care for the safety of the tow truck driver, the motorist and the motoring public. Tow truck drivers should be trained in scene management in accordance with this section. The Contractor shall ensure that all appropriate traffic safety warning devices are utilized as deemed necessary.
3. Contractors will be required to respond to calls where vehicles have collided with other objects and may have already caused damage to varying degrees. The methods proposed by the Contractor for towing and recovery services shall be reasonable and consistent with industry standards, best practices, and in a manner that shall not cause unnecessary additional harm, deface or damage any City or private property. In the event that damage to the City’s right-of-way or private property has occurred due to the negligence of the Contractor, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for its repair or replacement in excess of the amount covered by the required insurance.
Q. RECORDS
1. The Contractor shall keep accurate records concerning all vehicle tows, vehicle storages and vehicle releases or disposition.
2. In addition, the Contractor shall maintain accurate records of his/her employees or agents and provide the City with names and telephone numbers of emergency contact employees.

6. The Contractor shall permit the City to inspect and audit its books and records regarding City provided services at any reasonable time.
R. AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS
The Chief of Police or his designee shall conduct regular audits and inspections of the Contractor(s) assigned to this project to ensure they are fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement. All work found during such audits or inspections to be substandard or failing to conform to the requirements of this agreement shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor and the City shall have City Council 20 – 94 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
the right to immediately suspend the Contractor from the rotation list until the issue(s) is/are corrected. Failure to correct, as set forth in Section 13, Subsection b, of the Agreement may result in termination of the contract.
S. INVESTIGATION OF ALLEGED VIOLATIONS, RULES, OR TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
Whenever an alleged violation is lodged against a Contractor or initiated by the Police Department, the Traffic Commander shall assign a supervisor from the Traffic Division to investigate any allegations. A fair, impartial and comprehensive investigation shall be conducted and the findings documented for review. To the extent required by law, the Contractor shall cooperate fully in the investigation and provide any documentation requested by the investigator to assist in making a finding. In addition, the Contractor shall be given the opportunity, either orally or in writing, to respond to the complaint at the point deemed appropriate by the investigator. The City expects that the Contractor will demonstrate professional business practices and truth in reporting as it relates to any records or information requested.
Violations shall include, but not be limited to, situations such as poor customer service, failure to comply with non-safety related terms of the agreement, or minor equipment or facility deficiencies, situations involving honesty, integrity, safety, security, gross overcharging of a customer or a pattern of overcharging, failure to comply with the provisions of CVC § 22658 as it relates to PPI’s, criminal violations involving such crimes as DUI, drug related offenses, theft, or any other crimes involving moral turpitude, or significant, repeated or flagrant violations of this agreement.
If it is determined that criminal charges are appropriate, the assigned investigator shall document the incident on a crime report and present the case to the appropriate prosecuting authority for review.
Based on the nature and seriousness of the misconduct being investigated, the Chief of Police may temporarily suspend the Contractor, or its agent individually, from the rotation list until the investigation is completed and a proper disposition is reached.
The standard for sustaining a violation made against the Contractor or the Contractor’s agent shall be a preponderance of the evidence, regardless of the nature of the violation. Other investigative findings may include unfounded (false or factually incorrect), exonerated (action occurred but was lawful or within the terms of this agreement) or not sustained (inconclusive due to insufficient evidence or independent witnesses).
All alleged violations shall be forwarded to the Traffic Commander for review.
Upon a determination of a sustained violation, a recommendation for discipline shall be made, if appropriate.
City Council 20 – 95 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
T. DISCIPLINARY ACTION
The Contractor agrees that failure by the Contractor, or its agent, to comply with the law or terms and conditions of this agreement shall be cause for disciplinary action.
However, nothing in this agreement shall preclude the City from taking appropriate enforcement action for violations of the law. Within 60 days of receipt of an alleged violation, the Traffic Commander shall review the findings of the investigation and recommend disciplinary action, if appropriate. The Traffic Commander shall take into account the nature of the alleged violation, the findings of the investigation, past violations made against the Contractor, and/or sustained against the Contractor, and past practice of the Department to maintain equitable treatment of all Contractors assigned to the rotational tow list. Depending on the nature and complexity of the sustained violation, the Traffic Commander may allow the Contractor or designee to provide a brief written statement for consideration and/or may contact Contractor to ask additional questions.
Disciplinary action shall typically be progressive in nature and based on the Contractor’s record during the previous 5 years from the date of the sustained violation. Therefore, multiple violations for similar offenses, regardless of their severity, will result in increased disciplinary action. However, this does not preclude the Traffic Commander from recommending more serious disciplinary actions where violations have been committed or there are aggravating factors associated with the misconduct.
The following actions may be recommended:
1. No further action.
2. Issue a written warning.
3. Impose a suspension for violations (1 to 30-days).
4. Impose a suspension for significant, flagrant, repeated, or multiple violations (30 to 90- days).
5. Termination of the contract for cause and immediate removal from the rotation list.
The Contractor shall be notified in writing of the City’s intent to impose disciplinary action. The Traffic Commander shall have the authority to impose discipline up to and including the imposition of a suspension for violations as long as the suspension does not exceed 30-days in length. However, nothing in this article shall preclude the Traffic Commander from reducing the recommended discipline based on mitigating factors. Recommended suspensions exceeding 30-days in length or termination from the rotation list shall be approved by the Field Operations Bureau Commander prior to imposition.
The Traffic Commander may recommend to the Chief of Police the immediate termination of this agreement if the conduct of the Contractor, or its agents, are determined to pose a danger to the public, have an excessive number of violations that tax the investigative resources of the Police Department, or the Contractor’s actions reflect negatively upon the City.
City Council 20 – 96 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
U. RIGHT TO APPEAL
Upon receipt of a notice to impose disciplinary action, the Contractor shall have the right to submit a written appeal within ten (10) business days to the Field Operations Bureau Commander.
Upon receipt of the written appeal, the Field Operations Bureau Commander shall issue their findings in writing within ten (10) business days. Upon receipt of the Field Operations Bureau Commander's finding(s), if the Contractor disagrees with the findings, the Contractor's final remedy is submitting a written final appeal to the Chief of Police with a copy to the Traffic
Commander. Upon receipt of the Contractor's final written appeal, the Chief of Police shall issue a written decision within (10) business days. The decision of the Chief of Police shall be final.
Disciplinary action shall not be imposed until the appeal process has been exhausted.
However, if the conduct of the Contractor is deemed to be so egregious or poses a danger to public safety, the City may exercise its right to immediately suspend the Contractor as set forth in this agreement. Failure to submit a written appeal will waive the Contractor’s right to further appeal and disciplinary action shall be imposed.
In the event the City serves the Contractor with Notice of Termination from the Contract and the Contractor seeks an appeal, the contractor will retain its position on the rotation and disciplinary action will be delayed pending the appeal process. In the event the CITY elects to modify the discipline imposed on the Contractor, the Contractor agrees they shall not be entitled to recover any costs, compensation, damages, losses, and/or expenses of any type or description from or file a claim against the City, its officers, employees, and appointees, arising out of or related to, in any manner, a violation alleged against, or discipline imposed upon the Contractor.
V. SUPERVISION OF CONTRACT AND MEETINGS WITH CITY
All work shall meet with the approval of the Santa Ana Police Department. As determined necessary by the City, there shall be a minimum of one monthly meeting with the Contractor and the City representative during the first year to determine progress and to establish areas needing attention. Status reports of activities performed by the Contractor will be submitted in writing to the City on a monthly basis or as determined necessary by the City.
Any specific problem area which does not meet the conditions of the specifications set forth in Exhibit A or the Agreement shall be called to the attention of the Contractor and if not corrected, may result in the Contractor being found in default of this agreement which may result in suspension from the rotation list until the issue(s) is/are correct in a manner satisfactory to the City or termination of the Agreement.

CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT

City Council 20 – 128 8/4/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA
T. DISCIPLINARY ACTION
The Contractor agrees that failure by the Contractor, or its agent, to comply with the law or terms and conditions of this agreement shall be cause for disciplinary action.
However, nothing in this agreement shall preclude the City from taking appropriate enforcement action for violations of the law. Within 60 days of receipt of an alleged violation, the Traffic Commander shall review the findings of the investigation and recommend disciplinary action, if appropriate. The Traffic Commander shall take into account the nature of the alleged violation, the findings of the investigation, past violations made against the Contractor, and/or sustained against the Contractor, and past practice of the Department to maintain equitable treatment of all Contractors assigned to the rotational tow list. Depending on the nature and complexity of the sustained violation, the Traffic Commander may allow the Contractor or designee to provide a brief written statement for consideration and/or may contact Contractor to ask additional questions.
Disciplinary action shall typically be progressive in nature and based on the Contractor's record during the previous 5 years from the date of the sustained violation. Therefore, multiple violations for similar offenses, regardless of their severity, will result in increased disciplinary action. However, this does not preclude the Traffic Commander from recommending more serious disciplinary actions where violations have been committed or there are aggravating factors associated with the misconduct.
The following actions may be recommended:
1. No further action.
2. Issue a written warning.
3. Impose a suspension for violations (1 to 30-days).
4. Impose a suspension for significant, flagrant, repeated, or multiple violations (30 to 90- days).

The Contractor shall be notified in writing of the City's intent to impose disciplinary action. The Traffic Commander shall have the authority to impose discipline up to and including the imposition of a suspension for violations as long as the suspension does not exceed 30-days in length. However, nothing in this article shall preclude the Traffic Commander from reducing the recommended discipline based on mitigating factors. Recommended suspensions exceeding 30-days in length or termination from the rotation list shall be approved by the Field Operations Bureau Commander prior to imposition.
The Traffic Commander may recommend to the Chief of Police the immediate termination of this agreement if the conduct of the Contractor, or its agents, are determined to pose a danger to the public, have an excessive number of violations that tax the investigative resources of the Police Department, or the Contractor's actions reflect negatively upon the City.

Upon receipt of the written appeal, the Field Operations Bureau Commander shall issue their findings in writing within ten (10) business days. Upon receipt of the Field Operations Bureau Commander's finding(s), if the Contractor disagrees with the findings, the Contractor's final remedy is submitting a written final appeal to the Chief of Police with a copy to the Traffic
Commander. Upon receipt of the Contractor's final written appeal, the Chief of Police shall issue a written decision within (10) business days. The decision of the Chief of Police shall be final.
Disciplinary action shall not be imposed until the appeal process has been exhausted.
However, if the conduct of the Contractor is deemed to be so egregious or poses a danger to public safety, the City may exercise its right to immediately suspend the Contractor as set forth in this agreement.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $157,960 of spendable fund balance in the Equipment Maintenance-Garage Operation, Prior Year Carryforward revenue account, and appropriate the same amount into the Equipment Maintenance-Garage Operation, Machinery & Equipment expenditure account. (Requires five affirmative votes)

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Municipal Services Division (PWA) is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of City vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. Many of these activities rely on compressed air systems to support routine maintenance and repair operations. Fleet Services utilizes a centralized air compressor system to operate essential shop equipment, including vehicle lifts, pneumatic tools, tire service equipment, and other maintenance devices.
The existing air compressor system has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing increased reliability and maintenance issues. Replacement of the system is necessary to ensure the continued efficient and reliable operation for the Fleet Services maintenance facility.
City Council 21 – 1 8/4/2026
Purchase Order Contract for Fleet Air Compressor System Replacement August 4, 2026
Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 26-031 was advertised on May 14, 2026 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids (Exhibit 1). A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
1373 Vendors notified
2 Santa Ana vendors notified
26 Vendors downloaded the bid packet
4 Bids received
0 Bids received from Santa Ana vendors
Bids were opened on June 11, 2026 and evaluated (Exhibit 2). Four bids were submitted by the IFB deadline and all four were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements.
Staff recommends awarding a purchase order contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Premo Construction, Inc. Premo Construction, Inc. has successfully completed projects for the City within the past two years, including the Bus Stop Improvements Project. The contractor has also successfully completed construction projects for other public agencies, including a well project for the City of Huntington Beach and a modular temporary housing project for the City of Newport Beach. These projects demonstrate the contractor’s experience working with public agencies and the ability to successfully deliver construction projects of varying scope and complexity. Based on the vendor’s successful project history and positive references, staff has determined that Premo Construction, Inc. is qualified to perform the required work. Award of the purchase order contract will allow for timely replacement of the Fleet Services air compressor system and help ensure the continued reliability of equipment necessary to maintain the City’s fleet.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, a portion of the accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for spending in the Equipment Maintenance-Garage Operation, Machinery & Equipment expenditure account (No. 07517100-66400). The spendable portion of the fund balance is estimated at $2,012,170 as of June 30, 2026, which is sufficient to allow for the recommended appropriation of $157,960. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers into Fiscal Year 2027-28.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) maintains City-owned vacant lots that are remnant following capital improvements. During the course of Street Improvement Projects, the Public Works Agency (PWA) has acquired multiple properties for street widening City Council 22 – 1 8/4/2026
Appropriation Adjustment and Sale of Remnant Land at 2245 S. Main Street August 4, 2026
purposes. The subject property at 2245 S. Main Street (APN 403-141-08) was acquired as part of the Warner Street Improvements from Main Street to Oak Street using Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) grant funding (Exhibit 1). The City has since completed widening improvements in this area and a remnant parcel remains.
The remnant parcel, measuring 7,490 square feet, remains unused and unneeded following the project’s construction and is ready to be sold in accordance with the requirements of the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220).
On October 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-045 declaring various City-owned properties as surplus land and directing the City Manager to comply with the requirements of the California Surplus Land Act. The subject property is among those declared surplus and, as a result, the City has since completed all statutory requirements and is authorized to proceed with direct negotiations for disposition of the property.
Following the completion of the Surplus Land Act process, staff issued a Letter of Availability to the adjacent property owner and potential buyer, Mr. Wansikehian, on February 5, 2026, outlining the terms and process for the potential disposition of the property. In response, Mr. Wansikehian submitted a purchase offer in the amount of $545,000 for the property (Exhibit 2).
The prospective buyer is the same owner that the City originally purchased the land from for the Warner project and currently owns the adjacent property located at 2239 S.
Main Street. He has indicated that the proposed intended use of the site would involve a lot merger with the adjacent parcel to accommodate a potential gasoline station or quick-service restaurant (QSR) development for this site.
Since the property was acquired using OCTA grant funds, in accordance with grant requirements, sale of proceeds of the remnant parcel must be returned to the grant and/or used for the project construction. The City is require to activate and report on the surplus land as part of the project’s final closeout reimbursement with OCTA. OCTA provided 75% of the funds for the acquisition of this parcel, and therefore 75% of the sale price, equal to $408,750, will be distributed back to OCTA per grant guidelines.
The remaining proceeds of $136,250, are proposed to be deposited into the City’s Select Street Construction Fund and distributed to the Bristol Street Improvements:
Civic Center to Washington (Project No. 13-6792) to continue supporting utility undergrounding efforts, including completion of the cabling and splicing scope for Crown Castle, Verizon, and Charter (Exhibit 3).
Staff recommends approval of the recommended actions to transfer ownership of this remnant vacant parcel to the adjacent property owner. Activating citywide vacant lots supports general plan goals by fostering community development and increasing tax revenue, while reducing blight and ongoing maintenance costs and liability, in alignment City Council 22 – 2 8/4/2026
Appropriation Adjustment and Sale of Remnant Land at 2245 S. Main Street August 4, 2026
with established municipal codes governing surplus property disposition.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended Appropriation Adjustments will recognize receipt of $136,250 into the Select Street Construction, Sale of Land revenue account (No. 05917002-57071) and appropriate it to the City Street Projects, Improvements Other Than Buildings expenditure account (No. 05917666-66220), Project No. 13-6792. The remaining proceeds of $408,750 will be received in the Measure M Street Construction, Expense Reimbursement-OCTA revenue account (No. 03217002-57004) for disbursement to OCTA, consistent with grant acquisition funding requirements.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WORKSHEET
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Bristol Street Improvements project was planned and designed to incorporate complete street concepts with storm drain quality features. The improvements include widening of the street from four lanes to six lanes, with bus turnouts, raised median, bike lanes, and sound walls. The project also brings native and organic landscaping that beautifies a fully developed urban area.
PROJECT NEED:
Bristol Street from Civic Center to Washington (Phase 3A) is part of the City's plan to widen Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane, which was approved by City Council in 1990 and reevaluated in 2015. Existing roadway has only 2 lanes in each direction and is operating at a LOS F. This widening is needed to improve traffic flow and create complete streets features.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $282,400 in grant funding into the Select Street Construction, Federal Grant-Indirect revenue account (No. 05917002-52001) and appropriate it to the Select Street Construction, Improvements Other Than Buildings expenditure account (No. 05917660-66220). (Requires five affirmative votes)

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) performs routine Bridge Inspection Reports (BIR) to systematically monitor, document, and manage the structural integrity and safety of all bridges across California. The reports outline specific maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation recommendations. The City’s Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the City’s 22 bridges.
PWA utilizes the findings in the BIR to plan maintenance and capital improvements to maintain the City’s bridges in service. Additionally, municipalities rely on BIR data to seek State and Federal funding for bridge repairs and upgrades.
In 2020, the City submitted a Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program (BPMP) plan to Caltrans that identified eight bridges (Exhibit 1) in need of maintenance and repair and City Council 23 – 1 8/4/2026
Agreement for Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program
August 4, 2026
requested funding through the Highway Bridge Program. The Highway Bridge Program is managed by Caltrans and is a structural safety program that provides federal-aid to local public agencies to replace, rehabilitate, or perform preventive maintenance work on locally-owned, public highway bridges. Highway Bridge Program funding is administered on a reimbursement basis through Caltrans. Eligible project costs are initially paid using local funds and subsequently reimbursed by Caltrans.
In May 2025, Caltrans approved $245,600 in federal funding for the proposed BPMP project design phase. PWA requires the assistance of structural engineers and bridge design experts to deliver the proposed BPMP project. Therefore, on June 5, 2025, PWA issued a request for proposals from qualified professional engineering consultants to prepare the design phase services and construction support for the BPMP maintenance and repair work for eight bridges (Exhibit 2). The RFP scope includes preparing required environmental documentation, preparing plans, contract specifications and cost estimates and securing regulatory permits for the repair work to be performed on bridge decks and substructures.
Request for Proposals No. 25-081A was advertised on June 5, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
2,336 Vendors notified
7 Santa Ana vendors notified
52 Vendors downloaded the bid packet
4 Proposals received
0 Proposals received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened on July 8, 2025, and evaluated. Four proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and all were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. Proposals were subsequently evaluated by a selection committee. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the top responding firms:
Firm City Ranking
Dokken Engineering San Diego 1
Mark Thomas Irvine 2
Kleinfelder Ontario 3
KPFF Irvine 4
The design fees quoted in the proposals were much higher than the initial Caltrans funding allotted and the City requested additional funding from Caltrans for the BPMP project. Staff had to defer award of the agreement pending approval of additional Caltrans funding. The firms agreed to extend the validity of their proposal and remained responsive to the City's requirements.
City Council 23 – 2 8/4/2026
Agreement for Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program
August 4, 2026
In June 2026, Caltrans approved additional funding for a total amount not to exceed $528,000 of federal funds. The City is required to provide an additional 20% local match for every federal dollar spent up to $132,000, for a maximum total design phase budget of $660,000. However, based on the recommended consultant and their proposed fee, the total design phase cost is $572,935 of which $458,348 will be reimbursed to the City by Caltrans. Caltrans is currently preparing an updated Program Supplement Agreement and authorization letters to reflect the increased approved design phase funding (Exhibit 3).
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Dokken Engineering (Exhibit 4 & 5). Dokken Engineering has had previous contracts with the City for roadway design services. Their proposal received the highest score due to their team’s experience in bridge structures and demonstrating their understanding of the scope of work required. Upon completion of the design phase, which is anticipated within approximately 18 to 24 months, the City will seek approval from Caltrans to proceed to the construction phase with additional funding from the Highway Bridge Program which is approximately $4 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the recommended action. As part of this proposed agreement, the Consultant will be preparing an environmental report for future consideration by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds were budgeted and available in the following accounts for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 and will be carried forward for use in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, subject to City Council approval of the carryover. With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, all funds will be available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers into Fiscal Year 2027-2028.
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, $282,400 in grant funds will be recognized in the Select Street Construction, Federal Grant-Indirect revenue account (No. 05917002-52001) and appropriated for spending in the Select Street Construction, Select Street Construction, Improvements Other Than Buildings Account (No. 05917660-66220).

STEEL INVESTIGATION DETAILS
SCOPE AND ACCESS
A complete routine inspection was performed by walking on and around the bridge to inspect all visible elements of the bridge structure.
Bridge deck was inspected by walking on shoulder. Soffit and all substructure were inspected by walking underneath the bridge.
The channel is dry. There is no need for a special equipment to inspect this structure.
DECK AND ROADWAY
There are longitudinal and transverse deck cracks range from (up to 0.07 inches wide and 1.0 to 3.0 feet in spacing) throughout the entire bridge deck.
Deck soffit has random transverse cracks at (0.04 inches wide and 1.0 to 2.0 feet long) with white and brown efflorescence in most bays of span 1 near pierwall 2 and in between spans 2 and 3.
Both sidewalks have longitudinal cracks and numerous small spalls with exposed rebars along the bottom.
Type B seal has no adhesion; and it has been deterioratiing at aboth of abutment joints with vegetation inside the joint gap at (2.0 to 3.0 inches gap at 75.0 degrees of Fahrenheit.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
PC/PS Girders have cracks and spalls as the following locations below:
The southerly girder at the west end above the westerly abutment has a spall (16.0 inches L x 12.0 inches W x 6.0 inches D) with exposed rebar and rusted.
Girder 3 has a small spall (2.0 inches L x 2.0 inches W x 1.0 inch D) approximately 27.0 feet from the westerly abutment.
Span 2, girder 5 has a spall (24.0 inches L x 8.0 inches W x 5.0 inches D) with exposed rebars and strands with rusted at the bottom flange at midspan 2.
Span 4, girder 2 has a small spall (4.0 inches L x 2.0 inches W x 1.0 inch D) approximately 42.0 feet from pier wall 4. Girder 11 has a small spall (4.0 inches L x 2.0 inches W x 1.0 inch D) about 33.0 feet from pier wall 4. In addition, girder 13 has a small spall (4.0 inches L x 4.0 inches W x 1.0 inch D) about 30.0 feet from pier wall 4 and (2.0 inches L X 2.0 inches W X 1.0 inch D) spall approximately 33.0 feet from pier wall 4.
The southerly exterior girder has a spall (12.0 inches L x 8.0 inches W x 1.0 inches D) on top of southwest corner of the westerly abutment.
Northerly, girder 2 has a spall (4.0 inches L x 4.0 inches W x 1.0 inch D) over the bike lane approximately 60.0 west of abutment 5.
There are several girder webs covering with graffiti near the easterly abutment.
SUBSTRUCTURE
The following is the locations of cracks on pier walls below:
Pier wall 2 has four vertical cracks 0.05 inches wide.
Pier wall 3 has two vertical cracks 0.06 inches wide.
Pier wall 4 has four vertical 0.06 inches wide cracks; and three 0.06 inches wide vertical cracks.
North half of the westerly abutment and southerly half of the easterly abutment are occupied with transients.
The westerly abutment has a large spall at (20.0 inches L x 14.0 inches W x 2.0 inches D) under the southerly girder, southwest corner.
RECOMMENDATION
Chaining deck and coring samples of this bridge are highly recommended due to the condition of bridge deck so that the local agency can determine the best solution of deck treatment with Methacrylate or Polyester Concrete Overlay.
SAFE LOAD CAPACITY
The load rating for this structure is calculated on 06/19/2017 by SMI Ratings Branch using BrR 6.8.0 AASHTO analysis, and the load rating summary sheet is archived on 06/19/2017.

STEEL INVESTIGATION DETAILS
SCOPE AND ACCESS
A complete routine inspection was performed by walking on and around the bridge to inspect all visible elements of the bridge structure.
Bridge deck was inspected by walking on shoulder and median area. Soffit and all substructure were inspected by walking underneath the bridge.
There is no need for special equipment to inspect this structure.
The channel is dry.
REVISIONS
The entire quantity of RC abutments ELI 215 is modified from 203.0 to 262.0 feet because the wingwalls are monolithic with the abutments.
DECK AND ROADWAY
AC roadway is at both approach and departure lanes.
Polyester Concrete Overlay was only done on lane 1 of each direction for areas of the original bridge deck and the center median approximately 45.0 feet wide and 100.0 feet long with Methacrylate treatment.
The widening bridge deck has longitudinal and transverse hairline cracks up to 0.05 inches and 1.0 to 3.0 feet long wide throughout the entire bridge deck.
There are transverse cracks up to 0.05 inches wide with heavy white and brown efflorescence inside the original bays 6 to 9 of all spans (see the attached photo no. 9).
Type A pourable seal has been deteriorating and losing all its adhesion.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
Only the bottom and the top flanges of all steel girders were painted in between span 2; and the painting system of superstructure is in fair condition but the webs need to be painted.
About 50.0% of the restrainer cables are rusted.
SUBSTRUCTURE
The northerly abutment has an incipient spall at (12.0 inches L x 5.0 inches W) at the top of bay 3 (counting from east, see the attached photo no. 6).
The northerly abutment has three vertical cracks from 0.05 to 0.07 inches wide and 4.0 to 10.0 feet long (see the attached photo no. 5).
