ITEM 6

FLOCK SAFETY AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERAS CONTRACT City Council to consider approving a two-year contract with an option for two, one-year renewals with Flock Safety for the lease and deployment of 35 Automated License Plate Reader cameras.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

Addressing the Council were Glenda (no last name provided), Tony Maldonado, and Di Zimmerman.

Councilmember Gibbs commented that the staff report mentioned that the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and other law enforcement agencies will have access to data. He mentioned that as he understood the data is generated constantly, placed onto a Flock server, and when accessed by LASD or other agencies they can pull that data, which saves for a 30-day rotation and will consistently delete. Councilmember Gibbs inquired on whether LASD constantly downloads the data from Flock; were there specific times they go to access the data; and what initiates LASD to pull information from the system. Captain Justin Diez of LASD responded that the Sheriff’s Department would access the data when one of the Flock cameras gets a “hit” on a particular license plate associated to a wanted person, amber alert, missing person, or stolen vehicle. Captain Diez commented on the investigative part of when a crime has occurred, stating that detectives would have 30 days to access the camera to review footage, search for specific descriptors of the vehicle, which would assist in determining the owner of the registered vehicle.

Councilmember Gibbs inquired regarding the protocols for other law enforcement agencies having access. Captain Diez responded that LASD does not share the data with any private agencies; however, as long as there is a signed agreement with other law enforcement agencies LASD does share the data and vice versa.

Councilmember Gibbs inquired on whether any of the upper courts have addressed the Flock system in regards to constitutionality, and City Attorney Joe Montes responded that he was not aware of any final decisions on Flock related lawsuits; however, there are pending lawsuits.

Councilmember Gibbs requested that staff provide quarterly updates on Flock security cameras to the Public Safety Committee.

Councilmember Weste inquired on whether the Flock system can be used to track amber alerts, civil alerts, stolen cars, and cars linked to serious crimes. Captain Diez responded that the Flock system would be able to do so, commented on the efficiency of the flock cameras, and remarked 5 Packet Pg. 292

ITEM 12
RIVERVIEW PROJECT - MASTER CASE 21-205
This item considers approval of the Riverview Project (Master Case 21-205), including 318 residential units and 127,000 square feet of commercial space located at the current Saugus Speedway property.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

City Council adopt a resolution adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared for the project and approving Master Case 21-205, including Architectural Design Review 21- 025, Conditional Use Permit 21-014, Development Review 21-019, Hillside Development Review 22-001, Minor Use Permit 21-027, Oak Tree Permit 21-003, and Tract Map 83605, subject to the conditions of approval.

Councilwoman McLean commented that at the last City Council meeting she requested the item be brought back with some retail to serve residents who would be living in the development. She commented that she did not hear back; therefore was requesting again, as part of the Conditions of Approval, to have the developer make the commitment to encourage mixed use in the development. Councilwoman Mclean mentioned that she had inquired about bus stops at the development and received confirmation from City Manager Ken Striplin that there would be access to school bus facilities for children. Lastly, Councilwoman McLean commented that on package page 340, under Environmental Services, it stated that all single-family residential dwellings must be designed with space for three, 90-gallon trash cans.

Councilmember Weste commented that she would want the decision on the size of the trash cans be left up to City staff; mentioned that there would be a tremendous amount of retail on the other side of the parking lot with the Sunridge project; and would not want to redesign the project. 5 Packet Pg. 297

BACKGROUND
Section 54970 et seq. of the Government Code, also known as “The Maddy Act,” takes into consideration a vast and largely untapped reservoir of talent which exists among the citizenry that frequently is not aware of the opportunities for participation on local regulatory and advisory boards and commissions. For that reason, the Maddy Act was enacted for maximum public awareness of appointments to be made by the Governor, the City Council, or other legislative bodies.

Government Code Section 54972 requires that, on or before December 31 of each year, the legislative body (City Council) must cause to be prepared a list of appointments of all ongoing boards, commissions, and committees that are appointed by the City Council. The list must include which terms will expire during the next calendar year, with the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the necessary qualifications for the position. Section 54973 requires that legislative bodies designate the public library with the largest service population within the jurisdiction to receive a copy of the list.

7. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all contracts and associated documents subject to City Attorney approval, contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such fiscal years.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) performs proactive, routine maintenance on an urban forest comprising approximately 115,000 trees. Approximately half of these trees are funded by Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD), with the remainder supported by the General Fund.

Proactive maintenance enhances the health and vitality of the City’s trees, while mitigating risks such as large branch failures or full tree collapse due to age, drought, or extreme weather events.

West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), the City’s current tree maintenance contractor, is under contract through June 30, 2025. In addition to routine services—proactive pruning, emergency response, tree plantings, and removals—WCA also supports various City projects, such as the Annual Reforestation Program, the Annual Concrete Rehabilitation Program, and the Annual Overlay Programs. West Coast Arborists, Inc. also assists with ongoing tree inventory efforts, with approximately 45,000 trees still to be inventoried as of October 2024.

To adequately facilitate the remaining tree maintenance activities in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25, including the completion of the tree inventory efforts, staff recommends increasing the contract authority to the current WCA contract by $325,320, bringing the total not to exceed contract amount to $6,499,592. Of this amount, $235,320 will support ongoing maintenance activities, including proactive pruning, oak tree preservation measures, emergency responses, and assistance with the aforementioned City projects. The remaining $90,000 will fund the completion of the tree inventory, which will enhance the City’s ability to address problematic trees, respond to tree-claim discovery requests, and track maintenance history. To further support this effort, staff successfully negotiated a reduction in inventory fees from $4 per tree to $2 per tree. Due to the risk related benefits associated with completing the inventory expeditiously, staff recommends a one-time appropriation of $90,000 from the Self Insurance Fund (Fund 721) in FY 2024-25.

Looking beyond June 2025, City staff has evaluated methods to meet the City’s future tree maintenance needs. Staff recommends a piggyback approach, leveraging the City of Victorville’s recent competitive procurement process, which awarded WCA a contract similar in operational scope to the City’s current contract. Through negotiations, staff secured a more competitive pricing model than that awarded to Victorville, effective July 1, 2025, and locked in for the first two years. This negotiated pricing represents only a 6.31 percent increase —requiring an appropriation of $172,954 annually beginning in FY 2025-26—over the City’s current contract, nearly 1 percent below the projected Consumer Price Index increase for FY 2025-26. The projected CPI increase of at least 7% accounts for the two-year freeze in CPI adjustments under the City’s current agreement with WCA, which maintained rates from FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25. The City is authorized to piggyback onto Victorville’s agreement in accordance with the City of Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC) § 3.12.270(E). This allows the City to leverage a contract established through a competitive process previously conducted by another public agency. A copy of Victorville’s staff report approving the contract is attached for reference.
8 Packet Pg. 315

Page 3 ends

Therefore, staff recommends awarding a new contract to WCA, effective July 1, 2025, to manage the City’s tree maintenance activities. The initial contract term will be two years, for a total amount not to exceed $6,700,548, with three, one-year renewals, each not to exceed an annual amount of $3,350,274 plus CPI upon request of the contractor and approval of the City.

The proposed agreement with WCA outlines a comprehensive plan for Citywide tree maintenance, detailing budget allocations, service expectations, and competitive pricing comparisons. West Coast Arborists, Inc. will prune approximately 17,500 trees annually.

Alongside scheduled pruning, WCA will respond to Resident Service Center requests, support Citywide reforestation, assist organizational projects, and address tree-related emergencies as needed, including necessary removals. Additionally, WCA provides a web-based system to track work orders, project budgets, and individual tree maintenance histories.

Benchmarking against other municipalities, the City’s recommended contract with WCA proves cost-competitive. For example, in 2024, the City of Lancaster awarded a tree maintenance contract averaging $105 per tree for pruning, and Ventura’s similar contract averaged $140 per tree. In contrast, the City’s average price per tree under the proposed WCA contract will be $93.

Additionally, as the City assumes ownership and operation of Hart Park in FY 2025-26, it will undertake the maintenance of approximately 1,315 trees within the Park, particularly in high- traffic areas and near structures. A one-time appropriation of $109,250 is proposed for FY 2025- 26 to address immediate pruning needs for 600 trees and the removal of about 30 compromised trees. Starting in FY 2026-27, an ongoing appropriation of $56,350 will support continued maintenance of trees within Hart Park. These budget allocations align resources with the City’s expanding tree maintenance needs, and the addition of Hart Park to the City’s responsibilities.

Lastly, staff requests an annual appropriation of $30,000 from the City’s Oak Tree Fund for FY 2024-25 through FY 2026-27, totaling $90,000 over three years. Per the Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 17.51.040), these funds support oak tree preservation and regeneration, heritage oak identification, purchasing, monitoring, and maintaining oak trees, as well as educational programs on oak preservation. This appropriation will enable WCA to conduct oak tree pruning, disease diagnosis, pest management, and reforestation efforts under current and future contracts.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

B

FISCAL IMPACT

The recommended actions require a one-time appropriation of $90,000 in the current fiscal year from the Self Insurance Fund (Fund 721), and an annual appropriation of $30,000 from the Oak Tree Preservation Fund (Fund 406) beginning in FY 2024-25 through FY 2026-27. Beginning in FY 2025-26, ongoing appropriations of $99,684 from Areawide Fund (Fund 367); $73,270 from 8 Packet Pg. 316

Page 4 ends

Landscape Maintenance District Fund (Fund 357); and $109,250 ($52,900 one-time and $56,350 ongoing) from the Hart Park Fund (Fund 140). Remaining funding for future fiscal years is contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such fiscal year. Cumulatively, if approved, the total available budget for WCA services will be $3,055,148 effective FY 2025-26.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal E, Invest in Infrastructure, which focuses on creating a healthy and livable community by maintaining the City’s assets through investment in infrastructure and innovations. By having a qualified contractor for tree trimming and maintenance services, the City ensures the safety and aesthetic values of its public spaces and facilities.

Background:

The City has over 8,400 trees within various Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts, Drainage Facilities Assessment Districts and Maintenance Assessment Districts (LMADs/DFADs/MADs), open space, public right-of-ways, parks and other City facility areas, that are funded by various assessment districts and general fund budgets. To effectively maintain these trees, the Public Works Department and Community Services Department utilize outside contractors for tree trimming and maintenance services due to the specialized equipment and expertise required for the job.

Staff conducted a competitive proposal solicitation using informal procedures in accordance with Victorville Municipal Code Section 2.28.200. On May 2, 2024, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for qualified tree trimming and maintenance contractors was distributed to seven (7) contractors via email and posted on the City of Victorville’s website and ebidboards. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on May 14, 2024, and proposal submittals were due on May 29, 2024. The City received proposals from the following contractors:
•Mariposa Tree Management (Irwindale, Ca)

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: November 26, 2024
SUBJECT: CITRUS BUILDING TENANT IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT F1030 -

DESIGN CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award the design contract to Wolcott Architecture for the Citrus Building Tenant Improvements, Project F1030, in the amount of $214,790 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $20,210, for a total contract amount not to exceed $235,000.

2. Appropriate one-time funds in the amount of $235,000 from the Citrus Facility Fund (Fund 130) to expenditure account F1030130-516101; increase Transfer Out to Citrus Facility Fund (Fund 130) to expenditure account 1009500-710130 and Transfers In from General Fund (Fund 100) revenue account 130-600100 by $235,000.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

On October 10, 2023, the City Council approved the acquisition of an approximately 15,000- square-foot facility located on Citrus Street, as shown on the attached Location Map. The facility was acquired as a long-term investment for the City of Santa Clarita (City) and for the purpose of relocating the operations of public television. The facility is currently subdivided into three units, with two of the units maintaining active 10-year leases. The largest unit, which is approximately 9,500 square feet, was deemed as a suitable site for a new, modern studio that would help meet the current and future demands of public television.
9 Packet Pg. 331

Page 2 ends

On December 29, 2023, the grant deed transferring ownership of the facility to the City was recorded with Los Angeles County. However, as part of the purchase agreement, the previous owner, Lundgren Management (Lundgren), was authorized to lease back the property in order to cease its operations permanently. Lundgren continued to maintain use of the facility through February 2024. The following is a brief chronology of City staff’s efforts to move forward with the needed tenant improvements for the relocation of public television. Additional details are provided further in the agenda.
• March - June: Conceptual plans developed in collaboration with SCVTV • May - June: Development of a Request for Proposal (RFP) • June - July: RFP was available for submissions
• August: Interviews, discussions, and negotiations with proposers • September - October: Conceptual plans modified to reduce scope of work

City staff worked collaboratively with SCVTV on conceptual plans that would maximize the usability of the unit, while minimizing the potential costs of the tenant improvements. Several design concepts were developed and each would provide public television with an approximately 1,920-square-foot stage, which is substantially larger than the existing 670-square-foot stage at the current site in Newhall. This project supports the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of the City's five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

The scope of work for this design contract includes architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design services required to prepare construction documents. These documents will consist of complete plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates for construction. Bid assistance will also be provided to support the solicitation for a construction contract.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide design services for the Citrus Building Tenant Improvements project. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on June 11. The City transmitted the solicitation to 1,451 vendors on BidNet, of which 51 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of two companies provided proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works department and City Manager’s Office, scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Consultant’s qualifications and overall project team experience (30 points) • Proposed methodology and ability to meet the scope of work (30 points) • Proposer’s understanding of the project (20 points)
• References (20 points)

9 Packet Pg. 332

Page 3 ends

After the initial review, both firms were interviewed. Based on the evaluation and interviews, the evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined below:

Rank Company Location Score
1 Gensler Los Angeles, CA 80
2 Wolcott Architecture Los Angeles, CA 78

During the proposal review process, both submissions were found to be suitable, with Gensler receiving a slightly higher score. However, after reviewing Gensler’s fee proposal, staff observed that it was substantially higher than the “Estimated Contract Value” noted in the RFP. After further discussions with Gensler, City staff concluded that we could not find a mutually agreeable fair and reasonable price.

Following procedures outlined in the City’s Purchasing Policy, staff then engaged the next highest-ranked firm, Wolcott Architecture (Wolcott). After careful evaluation, Wolcott's proposal was found to provide good value and to meet the City’s design requirements, resulting in a successful agreement at a fair and reasonable price.

Wolcott demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They analyzed the project location and identified key design factors that will need to be addressed in the design. Based on their design and technical experience with similar projects, and the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff recommends awarding the design contract to Wolcott. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

Design work is expected to begin in January 2025 and a complete set of construction documents ready for bidding is expected to be available by September 2025. The station is anticipated to be ready for occupancy by June 2026.

The requested budget appropriation will provide for a building assessment, utility fees, and staff time.

California Government Code 4526 prescribes the selection of architectural and engineering services to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of professional architect and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an agreement with Wolcott at a fair and reasonable price.

The requested contingency will cover the cost of design constraints and account for potential design modifications requested by the City and other permitting agencies during the design of the project. This includes power and air conditioning improvements to the existing building infrastructure to accommodate the extra lighting and equipment required for broadcast studios.

BACKGROUND

The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 51644-19, a location map exhibit of which is attached, has been reviewed by City of Santa Clarita (City) staff and found to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards required by the Unified Development Code and State Subdivision Map Act. On November 7, 2018, the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning approved the Revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 51644-1. On November 12, 2019, the City Council approved the Tesoro del Valle Annexation (Master Case 19-115). This area was subsequently annexed to the City on November 14, 2022. The subject property is located within the Tesoro del Valle area, north of Tesoro del Valle Road.

The Final Tract Map No. 51644-19 consists of a subdivision of 34.20 acres into 55 lots and allows for the construction of 31 single-family residential units, 77 condominium units within 4 multi-family lots, 3 private park lots, 6 open space lots, and various private streets and utility service lots.

Lot 36, as indicated on the attached location map, will be developed as a debris and desilting basin for flood control purposes. The offer of dedication in fee simple for this lot is being rejected on the map until the improvements are constructed and completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. Following acceptance, ownership of the basins will be transferred to Los Angeles County Flood Control District.

The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 51644-19 was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Surveyor and the City Engineer and found to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved Tentative Tract Map. The conditions of approval established by the County of Los Angeles and adopted by the City were also met and fees have been and/or will be paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, the Final Tract Map is ready for City Council approval and acceptance of the dedications shown thereon.

SUBJECT: 2024-25 OVERLAY AND SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM, PROJECT M0157 - DESIGN CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award the engineering design and construction support services contract to Pavement Engineering, Inc., for the 2024-25 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program, Project M0157, in the amount of $709,820, and authorize a contingency in the amount of $106,473, for a total contract amount not to exceed $816,293.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to three annual renewal options not to exceed the base annual contract, inclusive of contingency, plus any adjustment consistent with the appropriate Consumer Price Index.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) is responsible for maintaining 1,301 lane miles of streets. The Overlay and Slurry Seal Program is an integral part of the City’s efforts to maintain our street and roadway system. The Overlay and Slurry Seal Program improves streets Citywide with various treatments ranging from a full overlay with new asphalt to slurry coating. These treatments enhance the structural properties of the roadway and increase pavement life. This results in a smoother and safer ride for vehicles, an enhanced appearance of the roadway and surrounding areas, and an extended life of the roadway. Each year, streets are studied and tested to identify those needing treatment. Accordingly, streets are selected using field evaluations by the engineer, the information contained in the Pavement Management System, and the City’s Five-Year Pavement Plan. This project supports the Sustaining Public 11 Packet Pg. 341

Infrastructure theme of the City’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

The scope of work for this engineering design and construction support services contract includes the preparation of conceptual design details and complete plans, specifications, and estimates required to prepare construction documents, and to provide construction support services for the project. Bid assistance will also be provided to support the solicitation for the construction contracts.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide design services and construction support services for the 2024-25 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on October 1, 2024. The City transmitted the solicitation to 3,131 vendors on BidNet, of which 64 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of three companies provided proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works department, scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Recent experience in similar projects (20 points)
• Schedule and availability (20 points)
• Quality of proposal materials/proposed services in relation to project scope (20 points) • Understanding of key development items (20 points)
• Qualification of team and resources (15 points)
• References (5 points)

The evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined below:

Rank Company Location Score

1. Pavement Engineering, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA 96

2. EXP U.S. Services, Inc. . Glendale, CA 90

3. Willdan Engineering Industry, CA 76

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation panel awarded the highest score to Pavement Engineering, Inc. The evaluation panel determined that Pavement Engineering’s Inc.’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the design and construction support needs.

Pavement Engineering Inc. demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They demonstrate the necessary professional qualifications, a full understanding of the project with recent experience on similar projects in the City, and the ability to meet an aggressive design timeline. Based on the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff recommends awarding the engineering design and construction support services contract to Pavement Engineering, Inc. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

The requested approval will give staff the ability to renew up to three annual contracts for 11 Packet Pg. 342

engineering design and construction support services. Staff is seeking City Council authorization to execute renewal contracts to expedite the design phase of the Overlay and Slurry Seal Program and provide continuity of design from year-to-year.

California Government Code 4526 prescribes the selection of architectural and engineering services to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of professional architectural and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an agreement with Pavement Engineering, Inc., at a fair and reasonable price.

The contingency will also cover the cost of unforeseen additional engineering studies and/or plans that may be required as the evaluation of each specific location is developed. The contingency may also cover traffic studies and surveys, and it will provide funding needed to proactively design plans and specifications for City streets to be used in future construction opportunities. Proactively designing plans and specifications for City streets to create a construction plan inventory is fiscally responsible as it will allow staff to maximize construction budgets by adding pre-designed plans and specifications in the case of projects savings or if additional project funds become available.

SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-

OF-WAY KNOWN AS PLACERITA CANYON ROAD LOCATED

NEAR SIERRA HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Amalia Marreh

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of portions of the public right-of-way known as Placerita Canyon Road, as described in Exhibit “A” Legal Description, and as shown on Exhibit “B” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

2. Reserve easements for public utility purposes as specified in the attached resolution, as described in Exhibit “C” Legal Description, and as shown on Exhibit “D” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

3. Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office.

BACKGROUND

The portions of the public right-of-way to be vacated, as shown in the attached location map, were originally granted to the County of Los Angeles and the State of California in parts. The first part was recorded in Book 17446, Page 186, Official Records on April 19, 1940, which conveyed an easement to the County of Los Angeles for public highway known as Placerita Canyon Road. On January 3, 1941, a document was recorded in Book 18596, Page 127, by Standard Oil Company of California giving and conveying the County of Los Angeles right-of- way for use as a public highway. On March 14, 1955, Instrument No. 3835 was recorded in Book 47182, Page 104, Official Records, by Standard Oil Company of California granting an easement to the County of Los Angeles to use as a public highway.

Page 2 ends

Upon incorporation, the City of Santa Clarita became the successor of the rights granted and/or conveyed by the documents described above. These portions of the public right-of-way are not needed for road purposes, and the property owner requested the vacation. The vacation will not have an impact to the existing paved street and right-of-way along Placerita Canyon Road near Sierra Highway.

Per Section 8331 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate a street or highway if both of the following conditions exist:

1. For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel; and

2. No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.

Both of these conditions exist on this portion of the public right-of-way; therefore, City Council may summarily vacate this property.

A certain easement for public utility purposes will be reserved as specified in the attached resolution.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City's adopted FY 2024-25 budget.

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: November 26, 2024
SUBJECT: FORMER SENIOR CENTER, PROJECT F0006 - BUILDING

ASSESSMENT CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a contract to HH Fremer Architects, Inc. for the Former Senior Center, Project F0006, in the amount of $133,000 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $13,300, for a total contract amount not to exceed $146,300.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND
On July 9, 2024, the City Council approved the transfer of William S. Hart Regional Park (Hart Park) from the County of Los Angeles to the City of Santa Clarita (City). The Hart Park property includes the former Senior Center, which was vacated when the new Senior Center facility opened on Golden Valley Road and Five Knolls Drive in 2019. Staff have assessed that the 11,460 square-foot building could be utilized as a future community arts and veterans center.

The scope of work for this project includes providing a report on the current condition of the structure, its contents, and all utilities, which staff will use to determine feasibility for use as a community arts and veterans center. The assessment will survey the site and grounds; structural systems; compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; building envelope; interior building components; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and commercial kitchen.

This project supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the City’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting 13 Packet Pg. 357

Page 2 ends

firms to provide assessment services for the Former Senior Center project. The final assessment report will be used to solicit proposals for design services in 2025, to be followed by construction. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on September 5, 2024. The City transmitted the solicitation to 2,150 vendors on BidNet, of which 67 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of two companies provided proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works, Neighborhood Services, and Economic Development departments scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Contractor qualifications, plan of study, scope of work, and program management (40 points)
• Experience on similar projects (30 points)
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards (30 points)

The evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined below:

Rank Company Location Score
1 HH Fremer Architects, Inc. Santa Monica, CA 93
2 Maestro Development LLC Los Angeles, CA 73

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation panel awarded the highest score to HH Fremer Architects, Inc. (Fremer Architects). The evaluation panel determined that Fremer Architects’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the building assessment needs.

Fremer Architects demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They analyzed the project location and identified key factors that will need to be addressed in the assessment. Based on their experience with similar projects, and the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff recommends awarding the assessment contract to Fremer Architects. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

California Government Code 4526 prescribes the selection of architectural and engineering services to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of professional architect and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an agreement with Fremer Architects at a fair and reasonable price.

The requested contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen assessment constraints and account for potential assessment modifications requested by the City and other permitting agencies during the assessment of the project. This includes any change orders for additional work requested by the City.

DATE: November 26, 2024
SUBJECT: VETERANS HISTORICAL PLAZA PLAQUE REQUEST
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Phil Lantis

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council approve the request to add a plaque at the Veterans Historical Plaza.

BACKGROUND

The local and regional chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) are requesting a plaque be added at the Veterans Historical Plaza (Vets Plaza) to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. The sign would be placed at the Vets Plaza in near proximity to Newhall Avenue, as shown on the aerial map and photographs included in the proposal attachment, and would be installed in the coming year, prior to the 250th anniversary in 2026.

As described in the City of Santa Clarita Veterans Historical Plaza Special Use Facility Policy, there are three required steps for improvements and modifications to be made at the Vets Plaza, including: 1) review by the Santa Clarita Valley Veterans Memorial, Inc., (SCV Veterans) organization; 2) review by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission (Commission); and 3) approval by the City Council.

The proposed sign was shared with SCV Veterans for their review and they supported the proposal. Additionally, this item was presented to the Commission at their meeting held on November 7, 2024. The Commission supported the request to be presented to the City Council for approval.

Additionally, members of the advisory committee who worked with City staff on the planning of the Veterans Day Ceremony requested that the Space Force flag be added to the Veterans Historical Plaza. After discussing several options, it was determined that, given the physical limitations of the site, the best option was to add the Space Force flag to the Coast Guard flag 14 Packet Pg. 361

pole. The Space Force flag was added during the Veterans Day Ceremony. There were no concerns raised by the community.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. The Daughters of the American Revolution will cover the cost of the plaque and installation.

During Fiscal Year 2023-24, the SCVCOA utilized funds to serve over 61,400 seniors through recreation and wellness programs. They served 537,796 meals through the Meals on Wheels Program - Santa Clarita and the Bella Vida Drive Thru. Of those, over 10,000 meals were provided as a direct result of the funding provided by the City. Additionally, SCVCOA successfully provided over 3,250 bus trips to meet the medical, grocery shopping, and other essential needs of the senior community.

As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget, the City Council allocated $525,000 to the SCVCOA. This is an ongoing annual commitment. This appropriation will provide support for the following senior services administered by the SCVCOA: $275,000 for recreation, health, and wellness programs; $150,000 for transit-related services; and $100,000 for home-delivered meals.

In response to a request from the SCVCOA, the City Council approved a $50,000 ongoing increase to the grant for recreation and wellness services during the Fiscal Year 2024-25 annual budget process, increasing the appropriation from $225,000 to $275,000. This request resulted from increased attendance, expanded class offerings, and growing community demand. 15 Packet Pg. 380
