CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: James Enriquez, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: AQUATIC CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PHASE 1A) –

AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS
DATE: November 21, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the Plans and Specifications for Phase 1A; and

2. Approve the inclusion of a bonus/penalty in the construction contract documents for Phase 1A in an amount not-to-exceed $3,500 per calendar day to incentivize the contractor to complete the project in early summer 2024 and maximize the swim season; and

3. Authorize the City Engineer to advertise for construction bids; and

4. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 includes $6.6 million for the project. Additionally, State Senator Bob Archuleta assisted the city in obtaining a $6.4 million State grant for the project making $13 million in total funds available for the project.

The project is broken into two phases, Phases 1A and 1B, as described below. The total project cost for Phase 1A is estimated at $6.2 million, $5 million in construction cost and $1.2 million in soft costs. There is currently adequate funding in local city funds for Phase 1A and no budget appropriation is recommended at this time.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Phase 1A) – Authorization to Advertise for Construction Bids

Page 2 of 4 ends

The State grant funding is programmed for the Phase 1B project that is currently in the initial stages of design and scheduled for construction after the summer 2024 swim season.

BACKGROUND
The Aquatic Center has shown signs of deterioration as described in previous council reports. Some of these issues deal with the pool deck cracking, dilapidated pool pumps, aging equipment, a dilapidated equipment room and surge pits. The City held several meetings including a Council Study Sessions and Community Feedback Meetings concerning the poor condition of the aquatic center. The result of these meetings was direction to move forward with initial repair improvement (Phase 1A) to enable re-opening of the Aquatic Center in summer of 2024. Phase 1B consists of additional amenities and features that will be completed after the summer 2024 re-opening.

ANALYSIS
Phase 1A scope of work consists of remediation/replacement of the cracked pool deck, repair and replacement of the pool plaster, upgrade pool lifts and pool main drain gates, replacing existing pool deck equipment, verification of code compliance for pool safety/maintenance equipment, upgrading underwater pool lights, remediation of the deteriorated pool equipment room surge tank slab, surge tank waterproofing, and replacing the pool mechanical equipment.

The construction cost estimate for the Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Phase 1A) is $5 million. The total estimated Phase 1A project cost including construction, engineering and inspection, and contingency is $6.2 million. The total Phase 1A project costs are as follows:

ITEM BUDGET
Construction $ 5,000,000
Design $ 100,000
Engineering $ 275,000
Inspection $ 275,000
Contingency $ 550,000
Total Phase 1A Project Cost $ 6,200,000
The funding from the city allocated $6.6 million CIP FY 2023-24 budget would be used for Phase 1A. Phase 1A construction would be completed in the summer of 2024.

Phase 1B consists of new amenities and is currently in the early stages of design.

Planned amenities include a splash pad, new family restroom, Jacuzzi/spa area, new concession stand/cabana shaded areas, pool house refresh and renovation and new CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Phase 1A) – Authorization to Advertise for Construction Bids

deck shaded areas. Phase 1B is currently in the schematic design phase and the finalized estimated cost and schedule is to be determined. Current estimates show the cost to be within in the range of $8 to $10 million. Phase 1B construction would start in the winter of 2024 and could take over 10 months to complete.

The Phase 1A project Plans and Specifications are complete, and the Public Works Department is ready to advertise for construction bids for the Phase 1A project upon City Council approval. A copy of the project specifications will be on file with the City Clerk.

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

DISCUSSION
Construction completion for Phase 1A of the project is currently scheduled for the end of July 2024. This would allow for the opening of the Aquatic Center in early August 2024, midway through the swim season that typically ends at the end of September. California Government Code Section 53069.85 permits the inclusion of a bonus/penalty in public works contracts for the purpose of incentivizing a contractor to complete a project early and on an accelerated schedule.

Staff recommends including a bonus/penalty in the construction contract in the amount not-to-exceed $3,500 per calendar day for this purpose. As an example, if the contractor completed the project in the middle of June they would be owed 45 calendar days of bonus in the amount of $157,500. This type of contract structure provides incentive for the contractor to accelerate construction by adding additional forces and/or overtime hours knowing that the bonus payment may fund the additional expense. The amount per day may be set at any amount at the discretion of the City Council. Staff recommends $3,500 per calendar day. Acceleration of the construction schedule could result in completion in June which would maximize the swim season at an additional cost ranging from $100,000 to $200,000, depending on how many days early the contractor is able to complete the project.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the City Council of the recommended actions, City staff will advertise the Notice Inviting Bids for the construction of Phase 1A. Opening of construction bids is scheduled in January 2024.

Additionally, the design of Phase 1B will continue.

ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS
DATE: November 21, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Approve the Plans and Specifications; and
2) Authorize the City Engineer to advertise for construction bids; and 3) Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Residential Alley Improvements Project is an approved CIP Project and is funded by the Utility Users Tax (UUT) Capital Improvement Fund in the amount of $555,000. The original project was limited to the Bartley Alley located just west of Pioneer Boulevard. At the request of the City Council, the project limit was expanded to evaluate all five of the residential alleys in the City. After further evaluation, staff is recommending that three of the five alleys be included as part of the project. Although the original project budget covers the design fee, an additional appropriation of funds will be necessary to complete the construction of the project, including the additional alleys. Staff will be recommending an appropriation of funds at the time of the Award of Contract, after actual bids are received.

The total project cost estimate is based on cost data for similar projects recently completed in the area. The total estimated project costs are as follows:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Residential Alley Improvements – Authorization to Advertise for Construction Bids Page 2 of 3
Item Estimated Project Costs
Construction $ 1,900,000.00
Design $ 135,500.00
Engineering $ 80,000.00
Inspection $ 80,000.00
Contingency $ 175,500.00
Total Project Cost $ 2,371,000.00

BACKGROUND
At the October 25, 2022 CIP Subcommittee Meeting, the subcommittee recommended adding the Residential Alley Improvement Project to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

The project included only the Bartley Alley.

At the December 6, 2022 City Council Meeting, the Residential Alley Improvement Project was approved and added to the Capital Improvement Plan. In addition, the City Council requested staff to evaluate all residential alleys. As a result of the alley evaluations, staff recommended a pavement design for three of the five residential alleys and recommended using fiber-reinforced asphalt pavement with a center concrete gutter for drainage.

On April 4, 2023, Public Works Engineering staff awarded a contract to NV5, Inc. for the design of the Residential Alley Improvement Project. NV5, Inc. prepared the project plans, specifications and engineering estimates. The Residential Alley Improvements Project encompasses the alleys shown in Site Plan in Attachment 1. The Project consists of the removal of existing asphalt concrete pavement and base material, and the placement of 3 inches of fiber-reinforced recycled asphalt concrete pavement over 4 inches of crushed miscellaneous base (CMB). The project will also include the replacement of the existing concrete gutter to improve drainage, removal and replacement of some driveways, sidewalk and curb/gutter located at the alley entry/exit points. The new paving section will support the heavy repetitive loads and increase pavement service life.

The project plans & specifications have been completed and the Public Works Department is ready to advertise for construction bids for this project, upon City Council approval. A copy of the project plans and specifications will be on file with the City Clerk.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a City entity that has periodically issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the PFA.

Consolidated Redevelopment Project 2006-A Tax Allocation Bonds Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 10/31/2023 None Outstanding principal at 10/31/2023 $35,908,028
Bond Repayment
The former Community Development Commission (CDC) issued a number of tax allocation bonds before it was dissolved by State law effective February 1, 2012 which are administered by the City acting as Successor Agency under the oversight of the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA)

appointed Oversight Board. The Successor Agency no longer receives tax increment.

Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the former CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City’s capital improvement program (CIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.
2017 Bond Refunding
In December 2017, the Successor Agency issued its 2017 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off the 2007 Tax Allocation Bonds of the former CDC. The 2007 Bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority.

ANALYSIS
The report is presented for informational purposes only.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects PAGE 2 OF 3

DISCUSSION
Water Utility SCADA Programming and Maintenance Update
The Water Utility’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software and system components are vital in operating and monitoring the drinking water system pressure, imported water connections, and the City’s five underpass pump stations.

SCADA allows staff to remotely monitor and make changes to specific system parameters.

The City has received one proposal to bring in a qualified firm to assist the Water Utility Authority in meeting its normal SCADA operational and maintenance needs. Staff is recommending rejection of the single proposal and modifying the RFQ before readvertising it to ensure the City is able to select a firm that is not only well qualified, but will also be able to meet the City’s current and future needs. A firm within the Southern California region will be sought to ensure minimal downtime of any of the City’s critical infrastructure.

Water Well No. 2 Status Update
On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved awarding the contract to General Pump Company Inc. to assess Water Well No. 2. The contractor completed the initial assessment and has submitted to the City their final report, which confirmed one contaminant, and provided two scenarios for treatment. As part of the Water Utilities seven-year Capital Improvement Program to bring City-owned water wells into service, this project moves the City closer to becoming less dependent on imported water supplies.

The City has received one proposal for the engineering design of a temporary water treatment system for Water Well No. 2; Water Utility staff is proposing to award the Water Well No. 2 Treatment Engineering and Design to Hoch Consulting of Oceanside, California.

Water Well No. 12 Status Update
Drilled and constructed in August of 2012, the water produced by Water Well No. 12 has not met State and Federal drinking water standards due to various contaminants. The well has been evaluated several times over the last several years with no decision to implement treatment. With new and emerging contaminants of concern detected in water wells throughout the region, it is imperative to fully assess the current water quality produced by Water Well No. 12 to ensure a treatment system is designed to meet all Federal and State water quality requirements.

The City has received one proposal for the assessment of Water Well No. 12 and preparation of technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system; Water Utility staff is proposing to award the Water Well No. 12 Assessment to Best Environmental Subsurface Sampling Technologies (BESST) Inc. of San Rafael, California.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

FOR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES
DATE: November 21, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Water Utility Authority:
1) Award a contract to Hoch Consulting of Oceanside, CA in an amount not-to-exceed $220,000 for engineering and design services for the Water Well No. 2 Treatment System project; and
2) Appropriate $275,000 from the Water Fund Reserves to the Water Well No. 2 Treatment Engineering and Design; and
3) Authorize the Board Chairperson to execute the agreement; and 4) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is requesting an appropriation $275,000 from the Water Fund Reserves to the Water Well No. 2 Treatment System project. The following is a breakdown of the estimated project costs:

ITEM BUDGET

Contingency (15%) $ 33,000
Total Project Cost: $ 275,000
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF November 21, 2023 Water Well No. 2 Treatment Engineering and Design – Award of Contract

Page 2 of 3 ends

Sufficient funding is available in the Water Fund Reserves. The contract amount of $220,000 includes assessment of site conditions, pilot testing a filter media for efficacy, water sample collection and analysis, a preliminary design report, and preparing a design for the water well and treatment facilities.

BACKGROUND
Water Well No. 2 is located at 15517 Carmenita Road, Santa Fe Springs. The well was constructed in 1963 and provided approximately 1,800 Gallons per Minute (GPM) of groundwater to the City until 2006 when the United States EPA lowered the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Arsenic in drinking water. Well No. 2 was taken out of service in 2006 due to the Arsenic levels now minimally exceeding the new MCL. City staff has ceased pumping operations at Water Well No. 2 pending well rehabilitation or possible abandonment.

The Water Utility Authority Board awarded a contract to General Pump Company of San Dimas, CA for the assessment of Water Well No. 2 on July 20, 2021. The assessment showed the water well casing to be in good, serviceable condition, and found only one contaminant requiring treatment.

ANALYSIS

N/A

DISCUSSION
With the assessment of Water Well No. 2 completed, pilot-testing, engineering, and design of a treatment system is required to meet California State Water Resources Control Board (WRCB) permitting requirements. Once these tasks are completed, the Water Utility Authority will be able go out to bid for the construction of a water treatment system. Hoch Consulting’s proposal shows experience in meeting the WRCB engineering and design permitting requirements, to help get the water well back online, and deliver safe drinking water to the residents of Santa Fe Springs.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of the Authority, and prior to commencement of Services, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to the Authority. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimum limits shown below, the Authority requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Authority.

General liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance.

Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease).

Consultant shall submit to the Authority, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of the Authority, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to the Authority as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by the Authority’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the Authority at all times during the term of this Agreement. The Authority reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the Authority shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the Authority before the Authority’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The Authority’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the Authority has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the Authority will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the Authority will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the Authority may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Authority’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the Authority, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the Authority, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Authority to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Authority nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the Authority with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the Authority and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the Authority and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CONTRACT
DATE: November 21, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Water Utility Authority:
1) Award a contract to Best Environmental Subsurface Sampling Technologies (BESST) Inc. of San Rafael, CA in the amount not-to-exceed $108,958 for Assessment of Water Well No. 12; and
2) Appropriate $141,646 from the Water Fund Reserves to the Water Well No. 12 Assessment; and
3) Authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement; and
4) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is requesting an appropriation $141,646 from the Water Fund Reserves to the Water Well No. 12 Assessment project. The following is a breakdown of the estimated project costs:

ITEM BUDGET
Engineering and Design Services (BESST Inc.) $ 108,958
Engineering / Staff Support (10%) $ 10,896
Contingency (20%) $ 21,792
Total Project Cost: $ 141,646
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF November 21, 2023 Water Well No. 12 Assessment Services – Award of Contract

Page 2 of 3 ends

Sufficient funding is available in the Water Fund Reserves. The contract amount of $141,646 includes services to assess the water quality pumped from Water Well No. 12 and prepare technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system.

BACKGROUND
Water Well No. 12 is located at 13939 Borate Street, Santa Fe Springs. Drilling and construction of Well No. 12 began on August 7, 2012, with a design discharge rate of 2,000 gpm, or 2.88 million gallons per day. In March 2016, elevated concentrations of Iron and Hydrogen Sulfide were encountered, requiring treatment to meet water quality standards. In July 2016, the City hired Civil Tech Engineering for the design of a treatment system for Water Well No. 12. After advertising the treatment system for construction two different times, the City rejected the bids received due to the cost to construct the treatment system. Water Well No. 12 has remained inactive since March of 2016.

ANALYSIS
N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

DISCUSSION
The first step in bringing Water Well No. 12 online is to assess the water quality pumped from the well and prepare technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system. Well assessment consists of, but is not limited to dynamic flow and chemistry testing and profiling, isolation zone testing and development of potential well zone sealing remedies. A well isolation zone is a specific area where a well receives its’ water from.

Instead of getting water from different depths, a specific depth is targeted and a perforated well casing is placed only at that depth of the well. If the water from a particular well isolation zone is determined to be contaminated, this area of the well can be sealed using one of several available technologies.

A new water quality assessment is required to meet California State Water Resources Control Board (WRCB) permitting requirements and to also test for new and emerging contaminants that were not previously tested for. Once an assessment is completed, the City will be able go out to bid for the design of a water treatment system or a modification to the well based on the findings of the assessment. The proposal submitted by BESST Inc shows they have the expertise and experience to profile and assess Water Well No. 12, which is necessary in getting the water well back online to deliver safe drinking water to the residents of Santa Fe Springs.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Dino Torres, Director of Police Services
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE FIVE-YEAR LEASE OF STATIONARY AUTOMATED

LICENSE PLATE READER (ALPR) CAMERAS
DATE: November 21, 2023
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Authorize the Director of Police Services to enter into a five-year lease agreement, in a final form approved by the City Attorney’s office, with Flock Group Inc. for thirty Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) in an amount not to exceed $75,000 on a yearly basis for a total amount of $375,000 over 5 years.

FISCAL IMPACT
The lease amount for this equipment was included in the FY 2023-24 budget adopted by the City Council in June of 2023. Appropriations will be necessary on a yearly basis for the duration of the agreement and will be included as part of the annual Police Services budget.

BACKGROUND
On December 7, 2021 the City Council approved a one-year lease agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for the deployment of twenty stationary Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) throughout the City. On January 24, 2023, the City Council approved the deployment of an additional ten ALPR cameras to the existing footprint for a combined total of thirty ALPR cameras. At this time, Flock Group, Inc. has offered the City a fiveyear lease agreement that locks in the existing yearly per camera rate of $2,500 for the duration of the contract. The offer is contingent upon a signed agreement prior to the end of 2023. Outside of the five-year window, and after January 1, 2024, the camera yearly lease rate will increase to $3,000, and thus bring our existing commitment to $90,000 per year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 21, 2023 Authorize the Five-Year Lease of Stationary Automated License Plate Reader Cameras (ALPR)

Page 2 of 2 ends

ANALYSIS
Auto theft not only deprives owners of the use of their vehicles but also provides criminals with a means to commit more crimes in a vehicle not belonging to them. For this reason, gang-related crimes are often committed with the use of stolen automobiles. Focusing proactive enforcement efforts on auto-theft often uncovers other criminal activity and prevents other serious crimes. ALPR cameras scan license plates on vehicles, compare the plate information to state stolen and wanted vehicles databases, and when a match is made, a photo of the vehicle and the location is transmitted to police car computers and the dispatch center. The City’s investment in this crime fighting technology has helped improve efficiency, officer and community safety, lead to the apprehension of numerous theft and fraud suspects, and recovered stolen property, weapons and drugs.

ENVIRONMENTAL
None.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
If approved, the Director of Police Services will execute a five-year lease agreement with Flock Group, Inc. at a locked rate of $75,000 per year for thirty ALPR cameras ($2,500 per camera).

1. Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form. If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.

2. Notice of Changes to Fees. Flock reserves the right to change the fees for subsequent Renewal Terms by providing sixty (60) days’ notice (which may be sent by email) prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable).

4. Taxes. Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order. If Flock has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, including amount subsequently assessed by a taxing authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.

Following the Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the greater of one year or the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

2. Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Flock will remove any applicable Flock Hardware at a commercially reasonable time period. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching Party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching Party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (“Cure Period”). Either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon the other Party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. In the event of a material breach by Flock, and Flock is unable to cure within the Cure Period, Flock will refund Customer a pro-rata portion of the pre-paid fees for Services not received due to such termination.

Page 2 of 3 ends

BACKGROUND
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the County and the State placed lockdowns, travel restrictions/regulations and a variety of quarantine measures. Consequently, employees were unable to take vacations as they normally would. Additionally, the fear of contracting the virus discouraged many from traveling, leading to significant accumulation of unused vacation time. As a result, many employees have reached the City’s maximum vacation cap of 240 hours.

ANALYSIS
N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

DISCUSSION
City staff had discussions with the three bargaining groups to discuss how to address the issue of the vacation cap. At this time, staff recommends the following - Increasing the vacation maximum accrual from 240 hours to 320 hours (except for suppression staff) and increasing the vacation cash out for all bargaining groups up to 100 hours. An employee must retain a minimum balance of 40 hours in their vacation bank at the time of cash-out.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the three side letters.

Upon approval, staff will attach the side letters to the current MOU’s and agreements.
