BACKGROUND
Currently, the City of Santa Fe Springs has utilized traditional methods of maintaining and retaining records and for the signing of documents related to the normal course of conducting business for the City. The City desires to transition to a more “paperless” CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
Ordinance No. 1158 - Electronic Signature Policy

agency, where appropriate, by allowing for the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures for documents between City staff and with external parties.

Staff recommends adopting the proposed Ordinance (Attachment A) to authorize the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures as an alternative method to retain and sign records and documents between City staff and external parties. In conformance with State law, the parties involved in the conduct of a transaction or communication would have to consent to conducting business electronically.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance will establish local standards authorizing the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures in the course of conducting business with City staff and external parties, when the parties have elected to do so.

ENVIRONMENTAL
This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub.

Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., § 15000 et seq.) Section 15061(b)(3) under the general rule that CEQA does not apply to activities which can be seen with certainty to have no effect on the environment. The proposed actions would not create any environmental impacts, therefore no additional action under CEQA is required.

DISCUSSION
The State of California adopted the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) that provides rules and regulations pertaining to the use of electronic records and electronic signatures related to the transactions undertaken in the course of conducting business, commercial, and governmental affairs.

The City of Santa Fe Springs has introduced Ordinance No. 1158, establishing the requirements which would authorize the City to utilize electronic records and electronic or digital signatures in conformance with the UETA, as well as Government Code Section

16.5 and Section 22003 of Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 10 of the California Code of Regulations, as it pertains to digital signatures and the use of acceptable technology.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve and adopt Ordinance No. 1158 to effectuate the proposed amendments to the text of the City’s Municipal Code and determine that the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

“Digital signature” has the same meaning as in Section 16.5 of the California Government Code and as may be amended.
“Electronic record” has the same meaning as in Section 1633.2 of the California Civil Code.
“Electronic signature” has the same meaning as in Section 1633.2 of the California Civil Code.
“Signer” means the person who signs a digitally signed communication with the use of an acceptable technology to uniquely link the message with the person sending it.
“Technology” means the computer hardware and/or software‐based method or process used to create the digital signature.
“UETA” means the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, commencing at Section 1633.1 of the California Civil Code.
§ 41.02 APPLICABILITY AND PURPOSE. In any written communication or transaction with the City where a signature is required, any party to the 3 communication may use an electronic or digital signature, provided that it complies with the requirements of this Chapter. This Chapter is intended to enable the City to use electronic or digital signatures to the fullest extent allowed by the law, and does not limit the City’s ability to use electronic records, electronic signatures, or digital signatures in any way.
§ 41.03 REQUIREMENTS. In any transaction or communication with the City for which the parties have elected to conduct the transaction or communication by electronic means, the following provisions shall apply:
(A) When a record is required to be in writing, an electronic record shall satisfy that requirement, if it is in accordance with the UETA. (B) When a signature is required, the parties may agree that either:
(1) An electronic signature satisfies that requirement, if it is in accordance with the UETA; or
(2) A digital signature satisfies that requirement, if it is in accordance with Section 16.5 of the California Government Code.
(C) A digital signature shall include the following attributes:
(1) It is unique to the person using it.
(2) It is capable of verification.
(3) It is under the sole control of the signer.
(4) It is linked to data in such a manner that if the data changed, the digital signature is invalidated.
(5) It conforms to regulations adopted by the California Secretary of State at Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 10 of the California Code of Regulations, as the same may be modified from time to time.
(D) The technology used to create the digital signature shall meet the Secretary of State’s acceptable technology requirements under Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 10, Section 22003 of the California Code of Regulations, as the same may be modified and amended from time to time.
(E) The City shall ensure that the level of security used to identify the signer of a document, and that the level of security used to transmit the signature, is sufficient for the transaction being conducted.
§ 41.04 POLICIES. The City Council, by resolution, may establish and amend such 4 policies as deemed necessary or desirable to expand upon the provisions of this Chapter, provided that such policies are consistent with the provisions of this Chapter.
§ 41.05 EXCLUDED TRANSACTIONS. The authorization conferred under this Chapter, shall not apply where the use of digital signatures or electronic signatures are prohibited by law or otherwise not governed by the UETA.

SECTION 3. CEQA. This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., § 15000 et seq.) Section 15061(b)(3) under the general rule that CEQA does not apply to activities which can be seen with certainty to have no effect on the environment. The proposed actions would not create any environmental impacts, therefore no additional action under CEQA is required.

This Ordinance is not subject to CEQA because it is not a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2). The subsection provides that a “project” does not include “[c]ontinuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies, personnel-related actions, general policy and procedural making…” As adopted, this Ordinance would establish general policies and procedures for the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures and therefore falls within the scope of activities not considered to be a “project” under the CEQA Guidelines.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Ordinance irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

2) Approve the Professional Service Agreement between the City of Santa Fe Springs and Lisa Wise Consulting; and
3) Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Comprehensive Zoning Code Update is anticipated to be a two-year endeavor with a total cost of $598,763.00. The approved Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget includes $300,000 in the Community Development Contractual Services Account No. 10103199- 542050 to cover the initial year of the project costs. Additional appropriations for this project will be included in the FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 budget to cover the remaining balance.

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs City Council authorized the issuance of RFP 25-8 for the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update on November 12, 2024, to secure a qualified firm to assist with updating Chapter 155 (Zoning) of the City’s Municipal Code. The goal of this initiative is to create a streamlined, user-friendly document that reflects contemporary land use and zoning practices while aligning with the goals of the City's latest General CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
Award of Contract – Comprehensive Zoning Code Update

Plan.

The RFP was advertised on November 13, 2024, with proposals due by December 19, 2024. The City received five proposals from highly qualified firms, with costs ranging from $256,980 to $665,540. A selection panel comprised of staff from Community Development, Fire-Rescue, and Parks & Recreation evaluated the proposals based on criteria such as qualifications, experience, proposed methodology, work samples, and cost-effectiveness.

The Comprehensive Zoning Code Update project seeks to engage a consulting firm with expertise in zoning and land use law, public engagement, and urban planning. The selected firm will collaborate with staff and the community to craft a Zoning Code that is clear, equitable, and aligned with the community's vision for future growth.

ANALYSIS
Following a thorough evaluation process, the selection committee selected Lisa Wise Consulting as the most qualified firm to undertake the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update project. Lisa Wise Consulting demonstrated a strong understanding of the City’s needs and presented a well-structure approach that aligns with the City’s goal of engaging the community throughout the process. Over the past five years, Lisa Wise Consulting has successfully completed Zoning Code updates for the Cities of Beaumont, Rancho Cucamonga, Milpitas, and Lompoc, among others. Their proven track record of working with public agencies, combined with their innovative approach to zoning and land use planning, makes them an ideal partner for this initiative.

Under this agreement, Lisa Wise Consulting will:
• Conduct a thorough review of the current Zoning Code, land use regulations, and comprehensive plans.
• Engage stakeholder, including residents, businesses, and City officials, to gather input.
• Develop an updated Zoning Code and land use regulations that align with the City's vision and goals.
• Coordinate with City departments and agencies to facilitate smooth implementation.
• Establish mechanisms for ongoing monitoring and evaluation to assess effectiveness and address emerging issues.

City staff is confident that Lisa Wise Consulting will help deliver a well-crafted Comprehensive Zoning Code Update that embodies the vision, values, and distinct identity of the Santa Fe Springs community. This initiative will advance the City’s goals by streamlining the development review process, eliminating redundancies, and minimizing discretionary review requirements, fostering a more efficient and predictable regulatory framework.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of the City, 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 City. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimum limits shown below, the City 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 City.

Commercial General Liability Insurance. Consultant shall procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance (“CGL Coverage”) with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Automobile Liability Insurance. Consultant shall procure and maintain automobile liability insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Services to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance. For the full term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Consultant shall procure and maintain professional liability insurance appropriate to Consultant’s profession. Such coverage shall have the minimum limits of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three (3) years after completion of the services required by this Agreement.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Consultant shall procure and maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury or disease), which will indemnify, insure and provide legal defense for both Consultant and City against any loss, claim or damage arising from any injuries or occupational diseases occurring to any worker employed by or any persons retained by Consultant in the course of carrying out the Work contemplated in this Agreement.

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

Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to the City 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 City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the City at all times during the term of this Agreement. The City 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 City 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 City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’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 City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City 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 City’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, 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 City 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 City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City 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 City 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 City 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 City 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.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

ITEM # 15

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: Cuong Nguyen, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: 2024 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
DATE: March 18, 2025
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find that the preparation, review, and submission of the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as the actions are not a project as defined by Section 15378(b)(2) of the Public Resources Code; and
2) Receive and file the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report; and 3) Authorize staff to submit the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR).

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with the submission of the City’s 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to OPR and HCD. By filing the Report with OPR and HCD, the City will be in compliance with Government Code Section 65400.

BACKGROUND:

Government Code Section 65400 requires each city to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of implementing the Housing Element of its General Plan. The APR must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report

• Tracking the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
• Assist OPR in identifying statewide trends in land use planning. • Evaluate how local planning activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies.
• Identify potential improvements to General Plan guidelines.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) determines each jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing needs through the RHNA process. For the 2021-2029 planning period (6th Cycle), SCAG allocated 952 new dwelling units to Santa Fe Springs, categorized by income category.

On February 8, 2022, the City Council adopted the Santa Fe Springs 2040 General Plan, including the 2021-2029 Housing Element and Implementation Plan. The 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Attachment A) summarizes the City’s housing implementation measures completed between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, and does not reflect any changes or updates that may have occurred since.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is not subject to CEQA, as the actions are not a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(2) of the Public Resources Code.

DISCUSSION:

HCD provided mandatory forms (Excel spreadsheets) and definitions for the Housing Element APR. The completed forms are included as Attachment A of the staff report and will be submitted to HCD and OPR in electronic format.

The Housing Element APR requires the City to report:
• All housing applications submitted in 2024 (Table A). • All housing applications with a net increase in units approved and finalized in 2024 (Table A2).

Table A2 is the largest worksheet in the APR, containing 49 columns of information related to residential units that have been entitled, issued building permits, or completed construction in 2024. The table also includes information about the affordability of the units. In summary, Table A2 indicates that the City entitled 15 housing units, issued building permits for 17 housing units, and issued certificates of occupancy for 54 housing units. All building permits issued were for accessory dwelling unit (ADU) projects. The housing units that were issued certificates of occupancy include The Whole Child and a portion of the Melia Homes project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report

The permits approved and reported in Table A2 are automatically populated in Table B, which tracks the number of units for which permits were issued to demonstrate progress towards the City’s RHNA goal. Housing production for the 6th Cycle RHNA allocation is best summarized by Table B, which is excerpted below.

Table B Summary: Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress Permitted Units Issued by Affordability

Total RHNA 952
Total Units Produced 1 13 184 17 218 734
Table D of the Housing Element APR provides an update on the status and progress of each of the City’s 23 programs that implement the Housing Element Program during the reporting period. Table H lists the two City-owned surplus sites included in the housing sites inventory. The Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) reporting table provides an update on the status of the City’s LEAP-funded projects. All LEAP tasks were completed in 2024, culminating with HCD certification of the 2021-2029 Housing Element on October 28, 2024.

The Housing Element APR also includes blank tables requiring information that is not applicable to the City of Santa Fe Springs or was not collected during the 2024 reporting period. As a result, the following tables have been left blank:
• Tables C (sites identified or rezoned to accommodate shortfall housing need and no net-loss law)
• Table E (commercial development bonus approved)
• Table F (units rehabilitated, preserved or acquired for alternative adequate sites) • Table F2 (above moderate income units converted to moderate income) • Table G (locally owned sites in the Housing Element Site Inventory that have been sold or leased)
• Table J (student housing development)
SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS:

Following the City Council’s review, staff will submit the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), as required by State law.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF March 18, 2025

CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY GRANT AWAD FOR LUNCH AT THE LIBRARY

PROGRAM

BACKGROUND
The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) is a federal library grant program that was signed into being by the President of the United States on October 1, 1996. The LSTA allocates annual library funding to all 50 states using a population-based formula.

In the state of California, the CA Library is then responsible for administering LSTA funds to local libraries through various competitive grant opportunities and awards.

SFS Library staff have diligently applied for CA Library grants, and on January 15, 2025, the City was notified that the Lunch At The Library grant had been awarded to the SFS Library to support programs and resources for the community.

ANALYSIS
Through the CA Library awarded grant, the SFS Library will be able to provide resources to the community that may not have been feasible otherwise. This helps the SFS Library offer a wider range of up-to-date and diverse resources for library patrons.

Specifically, the Lunch At The Library grant provides funds for SFS Library staff to purchase free Reading Is Fundamental books for children participating in the Lunch in the Parks program administered by the Parks & Recreation Department during the summer.

Using these funds, staff will purchase a variety of books, at all reading levels, and distribute them at the lunch sites.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the Community Services Director to execute the grant agreements, SFS Library staff will submit all necessary documentation to the CA Library to ensure that the monetary award is received in a timely manner.

7. Effectiveness of Agreement: This Agreement is of no force or effect until signed by both parties.

8. Entire Agreement: This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, made with respect to the subject hereof and, together with all attachments hereto, contains the entire agreement of the parties.

For purposes of this provision, “arm’s-length transactions” are those in which both parties are on equal footing and fair market forces are at play, such as when multiple vendors are invited to compete for an entity’s business and the entity chooses the lowest of the resulting bids. “Self-dealing” is involved where an individual or entity is obligated to act as a trustee or fiduciary, as when handling public funds, and chooses to act in a manner that will benefit the individual or entity, directly or indirectly, to the detriment of, and in conflict with, the public purpose for which all grant monies are to be expended.

43. Severability: If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provisions will be voided and severed from this Agreement, but the remainder of the provisions in the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

A site visit may include, but not be limited to, monitoring the use of grant funds, provide technical assistance when needed, and to visit the State funded project.

45. Termination: The Agreement shall be subject to termination by the State Librarian or designee upon notice to the Grantee at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination. In the event this agreement is terminated, the Grantee shall deliver to the State Librarian copies of all reports, accounting, data, and materials prepared up to the date of termination. The State Librarian shall determine and pay the Grantee for necessary and appropriate expenditures and obligations up to the date of termination which have not been covered by prior installments previously paid to the Grantee. Upon such termination, the unused portion of the grant award must be returned to the California State Library within 45 days.

If funding has been advanced to the Grantee, any unobligated balances, as determined by the State Librarian, shall be returned to the State Library within 45 days of the notice of termination.

46. Timeline: Time is of the essence to this Agreement. It is mutually agreed between the parties that the grant application and the timeline included therein are part of the Agreement.

47. Unused Funds: At the end-of-term Grantee agrees to return any unexpended or unaccounted for funds to the State Library, or to submit a written request for an extension of the grant period. Funds will be considered unexpended or unaccounted if they were: (1) not used for their intended purpose, or (2) used inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Funds will also be considered unaccounted for, and must be returned, if the proposal outcomes or deliverables are materially incomplete by the end-ofterm or earlier termination, as determined by the State Library in its sole discretion.

48. Waiver of Rights: California State Library shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by California State Library. No delay or omission on the part of California State Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by California State Library of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of California State Library’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by California State Library, nor any course of dealing between California State Docusign Envelope ID: C7BFED18-950A-488C-8657-14430CF4A944 In Process

Library and Grantee, shall constitute a waiver of any of California State Library’s rights or of any of grantee’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of California State Library is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by California State Library in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of California State Library.

49. Work Products: Grantee shall provide California State Library with copies of all final products identified in the Work Plan and Application. Grantee shall also provide the State Library with copies of all public education and advertising material produced pursuant to this Agreement.

50. Worker’s Compensation: The State of California will not provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for Grantee or Grantee’s employees or contract personnel.

RE: Contractor and Grantee Compliance with Economic Sanctions Imposed in Response to Russia’s Actions in Ukraine
Dear Grantee,
You are receiving this notification because you currently have an active grant through the California State Library.

On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO) regarding sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-Russia-Ukraine-Executive-Order.pdf.

The EO directs all agencies and departments that are subject to the Governor’s authority to take certain immediate steps, including notifying all contractors and grantees of their obligations to comply with existing economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law.

This correspondence serves as a notice under the EO that as a contractor or grantee, compliance with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine is required, including with respect to, but not limited to, the federal executive orders identified in the EO and the sanctions identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-countryinformation/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions). Failure to comply may result in the termination of contracts or grants, as applicable.

Please note that for any agreements or grants valued at $5 million or more, a separate notification will be sent outlining additional requirements specified under the EO.

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: Arlene Salazar, Director of Police Services
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE TWO-YEAR LEASE OF 11 ADDITIONAL FLOCK

SAFETY FIXED AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER (ALPR)

CAMERAS
DATE: March 18, 2025
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Authorize the Director of Police Services to enter into a two-year lease agreement with Flock Group Inc. for 11 additional fixed Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras in an amount not-to-exceed $67,650 over two years; and 2) Approve the use of existing funds within the FY24/25 adopted budget, Contract Patrol-Miscellaneous Equipment Replacement account 10102215-523030 to fund year-one expenses of the two-year lease; and
3) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
No additional funds are being requested at this time. The Department will reallocate existing funds within the Contract Patrol-Miscellaneous Equipment Replacement account in the amount of $34,650 to pay for year-one expenses of the two- year lease. Existing funds were originally appropriated as part of the FY 24/25 budget process to provide funding for costs associated with leasing and or purchase of “portable” Flock ALPR cameras and a portable surveillance trailer. However, after further assessment and consideration, the department has concluded that existing funds will be best utilized to expand our deployment of ALPR cameras by adding an additional 11 fixed ALPR Citywide to cover gaps in surveillance coverage. An appropriation will be necessary to cover the cost of year-two of the lease and will be included as part of the Police Services FY 25/26 budget.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
AUTHORIZE THE TWO-YEAR LEASE OF 11 ADDITIONAL FLOCK SAFETY FIXED

AUTOMATED LICENSE PLACE READER (ALPR) CAMERAS

BACKGROUND
On December 7, 2021, the City Council approved a one-year lease agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for the deployment of twenty fixed Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras throughout the City. On January 24, 2023, the City Council approved the deployment of ten additional ALPR cameras to the existing deployment bringing the deployment to thirty ALPR cameras.

Subsequently, at the November 21, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council approved 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., locking in the existing yearly per camera rate of $2,500 for the duration of the contract. The Master Services Agreement was executed on November 30, 2023. At this time, no changes to the Master Services Agreement will occur, an “Additional Services Agreement”, adding 11 additional fixed Flock Safety ALPR cameras for a two-year term will be executed upon City Council approval. This ALPR camera expansion would bring our deployment total to 41 fixed ALPR cameras installed throughout the City.

ANALYSIS
Since implementation, ALPR cameras have been instrumental in deterring crime and aiding Whittier Police Department Detectives and field patrol personnel in investigation efforts to recover stolen vehicles/property, identify suspects, apprehend criminals and solve numerous criminal cases. In addition, they have served as an officer safety tool as ALPR cameras provide real-time alerts and enhance surveillance capabilities in critical areas where officers cannot always be physically present. ALPR cameras function by scanning vehicle license plates, comparing plate information to state stolen and wanted vehicles databases, and when a match is made, dispatch and officers are instantly alerted. Overall, the City’s investment in this crime fighting technology has helped improve efficiency, officer and community safety, led to the apprehension of criminals and recovery of stolen property, weapons and drugs. Expanding our ALPR camera deployment will continue to be a cost-effective and invaluable tool to maximize investigative capabilities, manage resources and provide a significant return on investment, while maintaining public safety.

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: James Enriquez, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer SUBJECT: CATCH BASIN INSERT INSTALLATION PROJECT – AWARD OF CONTRACT TO G2 CONSTRUCTION, INC.

DATE: March 18, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Award a cooperative purchase contract to G2 Construction, Inc. of Santa Ana, CA in the amount of $1,471,830 for the installation of trash and debris capture devices in approximately 700 storm drain catch basins located in the City of Santa Fe Springs in accordance with Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code §34.18; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with G2 Construction, Inc.; and
3) Appropriate $1,471,830 of Measure W funds earmarked for trash and debris capture device installation; and
4) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The installation of Full Capture System devices in storm drain catch basins is a requirement of the City’s NPDES permit and an eligible project under Measure W guidelines and will be paid for using Measure W funds (24284240) with no impact to the general fund. Staff identified the purchase and installation of the trash and debris capture devices as part of the 2024-25 SCW Municipal Program Annual Plan.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
Catch Basin Insert Installation Project- Award of Contract to G2 Construction, Inc.

BACKGROUND
[In an effort to mitigate the growing trash pollution in California’s waterways, on April 7, 2015 the State Water Resources Control Board adopted the Trash Provisions of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries of California. The Trash Provisions require MS4 Permit holders to install, operate, and maintain full capture systems in catch basins located in Priority Land Uses. As an MS4 permit holder, the City of Santa Fe Springs is required to comply with the Trash Amendments. Santa Fe Springs is committed to a storm water management program that protects water quality, increases local water supplies and protects public health. The installation of the proposed full capture devices will drastically reduce the trash and debris currently entering the storm drain system and comply with the California Water Board’s requirements to install certified Full Capture System devices to protect storm water quality.

ANALYSIS
N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL
Pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Catch Basin Insert Installation project is categorically exempt under Class 1(c) for existing facilities. Under CEQA, a project is exempt if the scope of work is limited to the repair, maintenance, and minor alterations of an existing facility.

DISCUSSION
Approval of the contract will allow the City to utilize the competitive pricing available through an existing master cooperative agreement. In January 2020, the County of Orange solicited bids for trash and debris capture devices. The County of Orange received prequalified contractors that submitted bid prices for various size catch basin trash and debris capture devices. One of the prequalified contractors is G2 Construction, Inc., which entered into Master Agreement No. MA-080-20011478 (Attachment B) with the County of Orange for the fabrication and installation of the devices. The agreement includes a clause for cooperative agreements, extending the provisions and pricing to other local government agencies wishing to procure and install trash and debris capture devices. Many local cities have utilized the master agreement to install these devices in their storm drain catch basins. Cooperative purchasing is authorized by Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code §34.18.

The Contractor provided the City a proposal for staff review (Exhibit A of Attachment A).

The proposed scope of work consists of the purchase and installation of trash and debris devices for 700 catch basins located in the City. Although the Los Angeles County Flood Control District owns approximately 280 of these catch basins, the regulations stipulate CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 18, 2025
Catch Basin Insert Installation Project- Award of Contract to G2 Construction, Inc.

that the City is responsible for installing the devices because they are located within the City boundary.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the recommended actions by the City Council, staff will coordinate the installation of the catch basin inserts with the Contractor.

Maintenance of specified insurance coverage is a material element of this AGREEMENT. 13.3 Types and Amounts Required. CONTRACTOR shall maintain, at minimum, the following insurance coverage for the duration of this AGREEMENT: 13.3.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL).

There shall be no 8 endorsement or modification of the CGL limiting the scope of coverage for either insured vs. insured claims or contractual liability. All defense costs shall be outside the limits of the policy. If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the limits shown above, the CITY shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Failure by the CONTRACT OFFICER to object to the contents of the certificate and/or policy endorsement or 9 the absence of same shall not be deemed a waiver of any and all rights held by the CITY. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain in full force the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may exercise any rights it has in law or equity including, but not limited to, terminating this AGREEMENT pursuant to Paragraph 7.1 above. 13.8 The CITY reserves the right to review the insurance requirements of this section during the effective period of the AGREEMENT and to modify insurance coverages and their limits when deemed necessary and prudent by CITY’s Risk Manager based upon economic conditions, recommendation of professional insurance advisors, changes in statutory law, court decisions or other relevant factors. The CONTRACTOR agrees to make any reasonable request for the deletion, revision, or modification of particular insurance policy terms, conditions, limitations, or exclusions(except where those policy provisions are established by law, or are established by regulations that are binding upon either party to the contract, or are binding upon the underwriter to the contract). Upon request by CITY, CONTRACTOR shall exercise reasonable efforts to accomplish such changes in policy coverages and shall pay the cost thereof. 13.9 Any deductibles or self-insured retentions are the responsibility of CONTRACTOR and must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY's option, the CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions. 13.10 CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation that any insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Mr. Enriquez:

G2 Construction (G2) is pleased to offer this proposal to the City of Santa Fe Springs to install our patented CPS-Mod™ storm drain screens in approximately 700 catch basins (CBs) throughout the City.

As requested by Ms. Sarina Morales-Choate, this proposal targets both City-owned and LACFCD-owned CBs with an estimated 60/40 split and includes optional services to support the City’s storm water quality program. The City has an aggressive timeline to have the work performed and G2 is prepared to meet your can schedule.

G2 will perform field reviews and measurements of each CB, and then custom design, fabricate, and install G2’s CPS-Mod™ stainless steel screen that filters stormwater to 5mm. Our devices are certified by the California Water Board as Full Capture Systems, and this project will make Sante Fe Springs installed CBs fully compliant with the State’s Trash Amendment regulations.

Of the 700 project locations about 420 are City-owned CBs and 280 are LA County Flood Control District (LACFCD)-owned CBs. G2 can begin installation of City-owned CBs within two months of an agreement.

LACFCD requires the City to apply for and receive a their flood control permit. This application typically takes the County 5 to 10 months to process and issue the permit, and this requires the project be split into two phases.

Phase 1 can begin in March of 2025 for installations in City-owned CBs, and Phase 2 can begin after the LACFCD permit is issued.

G2 has significant experience working with LACFCD permitted projects and will assist the City with this process if desired. G2 has successfully completed over 100 similar CPS-Mod projects for municipalities in Southern California and installed over 30,000 of our proprietary CB devices.

Our proposal’s pricing matches G2’s master purchase agreement with Orange County Public Works and guarantees our lowest available prices. The City is welcome to piggyback on this agreement. Over a dozen municipalities have piggybacked on this agreement.

If you have any questions or feedback, then please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and the City’s team.

G2 CPS-Mod™ Full-Capture System Project
Installation of 700 Catch Basin Screens for Stormwater Quality Protection (Good for 90 Days)

PROPOSAL OVERVIEW
G2 Construction, Inc. (G2) proposes installing our patented CPS-Mod™ certified Full Capture System (FCS) connector pipe screens in up to 700 storm drain catch basins (CBs) located within the City of Sante Fe Springs. G2's CPS-Mod™ devices will capture all trash and debris larger than 5mm that flows into the CBs during storm events. This project will dramatically reduce the trash and debris entering the stormwater system and the downstream bodies of water, and also meet the California Water Board's requirements to install certified Full Capture System devices to protect stormwater quality.

The 700 CBs for installation are owned primarily by the CITY (est. 60% or 420 locations), and also by LACFCD (est. 280 locations). The installation requirements for City and County locations are similar, but have some differences. The County requires that the City obtain a Flood Control Permit prior to performing installations, and this lengthens the time before staring the project. This proposal has 2 Phases because of this.

The City may spread the work in this proposal over two years, FY24/25 and FY25/26.

This proposal also includes Optional Services for storm water work such as: (1) Installation of No Dumping Drains to Ocean markers and/or stencils, (2) Repair of damaged catch basins, as needed, (3) GPS inventory of locations, and other related services.

G2 proposes 2 separate Phases for CPS-Mod insert installation:

4 G2 Construction Proposal CITY of SANTE FE SPRINGS

DESCRIPTION
PRICING PHASE 1.A
PHASE 1.A - Install CPS-Mod in CITY-Owned Catch Basins.

WORK DESCRIPTION & PRICING : PHASE 1
Fabricate and install 420 CPS-Mod™ FULL CAPTURE SYSTEMS and perform technical install (prevailing wage). Devices made of 304 stainless steel with 5mm perforations.

PHASE 1.A - Install CPS-Mod in CITY-Owned Catch Basins. G2 will field review and measure 420 catch basins (CBs) owned by the City on the City's target list. G2 will fabricate and install G2 CPS-Mod™ certified Full Capture Systems (FCS) in all of these CBs suitable for receiving a device. This proposal includes all required aspects of the work: cleaning the CBs prior to install, traffic control where needed, post-install cleanup, and a photo of each installed device. G2 pays Prevailing Wage rates to all installation personnel, and will submit certified payroll to the DIR. The cost of optional project bonds is included, and these costs will be removed if the City chooses not to require bonds. The project's pricing will match and piggyback on G2's existing Master Purchase Agreement with Orange County Public Works MA-080- 20011478, and guarantee the lowest available pricing.

PHASE 1 has two components, A. and B., that will be performed concurrently. Phase 1.A will install G2's CPS-Mod devices in approximately 420 City-owned CBs. Phase 1.B will collect the required data from approximately 280 LA County-owned CBs in Sante Fe Springs. Details of this work is described below.

PHASE 2 will install G2's CPS-Mod devices in up to 280 Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD)-owned CBs in Sante Fe Springs. Prior to Phase 2, the City must receive a Flood Control Permit from LA County to retrofit these CBs. The Phase 1.B work is required by the County to apply for the Permit. The County takes 5 to 10 months to process the permit application from the City. The County permit requirement will necessarily delay the start of G2's Phase 2 installations by 5 to 10 months after starting Phase 1. Details of this work are described below.

The majority of CBs in Sante Fe Springs are on busy streets, including the key north-south arterials of Pioneer Blvd, Norwalk Blvd, Sante Fe Springs Rd / Bloomfield Ave, Shoemaker Ave, and Carmenita Rd. that do not have parking for work vehicles. Similar conditions exist on the busy east-west arterials of Slauson Ave, Sorenson Ave, Los Nietos Rd, Telegraph Rd, Florence Ave, Imperial Highway, Rosecrans Ave, and Alondra Blvd.

G2 will provide both additional resources to reduce the need for lane closures, and also provide lane closure traffic control when necessary. This costs are included in this proposal.

The project's pricing matches and piggybacks on G2's existing Master Purchase Agreement with Orange County Public Works MA-080-20011478. The MA guarantees the City the lowest available pricing.

If the City chooses to require project bonds (not required by the Master Agreement), then a bond will be purchased for Phase 1 and a second bond purchased prior to Phase 2.

PHASE 1.B - Collect Field Measurements from LACFCD-Owned Catch Basins. G2 will field review and measure about 280 CBs located in the City of Sante Fe Springs that are owned by LACFCD. It also includes preparing the required "Exhibit A" document required to apply for the LA County Flood Control Permit; and assist the City in obtaining the Permit. Note, the County requires fees from applicant cities that are not included in G2's proposal.

Device Filtered Flow Rate Calculation
What are the filtered flow rates for G2 Construction devices, and how are they determined? G2 Construction (G2) reports filtered flow rates based on hydrology modeling and testing with water flows.

Our design team applies the same formula used by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) to calculate filtered CFS (cubic feet per second) in their TECHNICAL REPORT on Connector Pipe Screen Design and Full Capture TMDL Compliance (April 2007). This technical report was submitted and approved by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.

CPS-Mod ™ CFS Formula:

Where:

Qscreen= Max CFS filtered thru screen.
c = Coeficent of the screen orifice for friction & turbulence.

A = Area of the screen.
g = Gravity.
h = Differential head of upstream vs. downstream side of screen.

Using this formula, G2 calculates the filtered CFS for different designs, and with different assumptions. Catch basin discharge pipes are designed and sized to transport the area’s stormwater from the catch basin. G2 designs each CPS-Mod™ based on the size and location of the discharge pipe, and size and configuration of the catch basin.

In addition to modeling filtered CFS with formulas, G2 has tested our devices with flowing water.

Results found that actual flowing water CFS rates were 90-95% of the modeled formulas.

However, G2 realizes there are many factors that can reduce filtration rates not included in the formulas. We take a conservative approach by applying a size factor that calculates filtration rates for a smaller device that estimated, typically 85%. This provides a safety factor.

G2 knows there are real world variables that will reduce flow rates, and screen blockage is the most common issue. For that reason, G2 designs assume that a percentage of the screen will be blocked with trash or debris, and our designs typically assume between 10-30% of the screen cannot pass water. This directly reduces the assumed filtration rates.

Each of G2’s ARS-CL™ screens varies in curb opening width between 3.5’ to 5’, and is designed to unlock and open when 4” of water pools in front of the catch basin. The same formula is used to determine device filtered flow rates. Similarly, our designed filtered flow rates for the closed ARSCL™ screen assumes there is some screen blockage. LACDPW has performed hydrology tests on the ARS-CL™ at the San Gabriel dam test facility and has approved the design.

Device Filtered Flow Rate Testing with Water
G2’s devices have been testing using flowing water to simulate real-world conditions. Attached is a report of filtration testing performed on the patented CPS-Mod™. This test and the results were included in G2’s application to the State Waterboard that resulted in the certification of G2’s CPSMod™ and GITS™ devices as Full Capture Systems. 19 &ŝůƚĞƌĞĚ&ůŽǁZĂƚĞdĞƐƚŝŶŐͲ'ϮW^ͲDŽĚ:ĂŶ͘ϮϬϭϵ ϭ

We have become extremely familiar with all the procedures required for success.

Our depth of knowledge and technical experience has been the result of solving many dozens of challenges and constraints of projects over two decades. This includes, among many others, solving for all the various catch basin types and sizes and conditions that we face in the field.

We’ve learned something new from most projects and most clients. Our experiences with cities in Orange County and throughout southern California have been very good for many years.

Because many cities have developed an advanced knowledge of the industry and recognize quality and value, it makes G2’s work more effective, efficient, and valuable.

Fortunately, G2’s strong culture for project management helps us to organize projects effectively and manage diverse teams. This has enabled G2 to have a 100% rate of success for completing projects and within budget.

G2 provides its technical expertise and installation services throughout California and focuses on the Orange County and Los Angeles County regions.

SUBJECT: G2 Construction, Inc. – Letter of Recommendation To Whom It May Concern:

The City of Lakewood contracted with G2 Construction on three (3) projects to install State Water Board certified CPS-Mod connector pipe screens and GITS grated inlet trash screens.

G2 successfully installed their products in 2016, 2018, and 2023 as part of the City’s FullCapture Catch Basin Insert Program to the satisfaction of the City. G2’s personnel have been very capable, and both projects installed as scheduled.

Our experience with G2 has been very positive, and I can recommend their products and services. Their team has been very professional and responsive to our needs, and they were quick to provide field evaluations of our catch basins and recommendations for our project.

Some of the City’s catch basins were unique and G2 was able to manufacture customized CPSMod devices that allowed us to meet regulations and the City’s water quality objectives.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

SUBJECT: City of Laguna Hills – Letter of Recommendation for G2 Construction, Inc.

TRASH AND DEBRIS CAPTURE DEVICES – RFP# 080-2736403-WH
To Whom It May Concern:

The City of Laguna Hills has contracted with G2 Construction (G2) since 2007 to design, fabricate, and install their ARS-CL and CPS-Mod trash and debris screens throughout the City. Between 2012 - 2024, G2 installed 11 annual City projects that won OCTA Environmental Cleanup Program’s Project X grant funds. They have installed over 2,000 ARS screens and 370 CPS devices in our catch basins.

The City continues to select G2 Construction because their devices successfully prevent trash, debris, and vegetation from entering our storm drain system and watershed. The City plans to work with G2 again this year to install our Phase XII OCTA grant.

For each project G2 has provided a simple end-to-end solution that includes field evaluations and measurements of catch basins, custom design and fabrication of their devices, installation, photos, support documentation, and warranty. G2’s work has always been on schedule, on budget, and performed without any problems.

G2 has also assisted the City with an inventory of catch basin devices, and provided information critical to our Project X applications.

I am pleased to offer this letter of recommendation for G2 Construction. The City finds their trash and debris devices to be very effective and of good value, and their installation work to be of high quality. The company has been very professional and dependable in their interactions with the City. We look forward to working with G2 Construction on future projects.

You may contact me with any questions at [email protected] or 949/707-2655.

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter of recommendation is in response to Orange County Public Works’ Trash and Debris Capture Devices RFP. In my current capacity as the City of Seal Beach’s Public Works Director, I have had the pleasure of working with G2 Construction, Inc. (G2) for the installation of multiple capture devices.

OCPW’s master agreement in partnership with OCTA’s Environmental Cleanup Program has allowed many local agencies mitigate transportation-related pollutants. Through this, G2 has provided a seamless approach to successful project delivery, which I have no reservations recommending. The following is a recent list of services performed under my purview:
 2023 Seal Beach CPS -Mod (170 systems) + ARS (48 screens)  2020 Seal Beach CPS-Mod (53 systems) + ARS (95 screens)  2019 Seal Beach CPS-Mod (55 systems) + ARS (127 screens) Should you have any questions regarding G2’s performance, please feel free to reach out at (562) 431- 2527, x1322 or [email protected].

To Whom It May Concern:

G2 Construction has consistently provided quality services for the City of Mission Viejo since 2014 when it first installed Trash and Debris Capture Devices in Mission Viejo’s catch basins.

Since then, the City has contracted with G2 every year to install more G2 devices and will again in 2025.

G2 provides the Full Capture System CPS devices and ARS curb-opening screens the City prefers to prevent pollutants and debris from entering its storm drain systems. G2 is a full-service entity providing everything from field evaluations to custom device design, device fabrication, and installation. G2 is also instrumental in assisting the City with grant funding applications and the preparation of grant reimbursement requests.

G2 Construction is professional, experienced, expedient and reliable. Work is always performed quickly and efficiently and within budget.

They are a pleasure to work with and the City looks forward to many more projects with G2 Construction.

* If the contracting party is a corporation, (2) two signatures are required: one (1) signature by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice President; and one (1) signature by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer or any Assistant Treasurer. The signature of one person alone is sufficient to bind a corporation, as long as he or she holds corporate offices in each of the two categories described above. For County purposes, proof of such dual office holding will be satisfied by having the individual sign the instrument twice, each time indicating his or her office that qualifies under the above described provision. In the alternative, a single corporate signature is acceptable when accompanied by a corporate resolution demonstrating the legal authority of the signator to bind the corporation.
