OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Fe Springs (hereafter referred to as “City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide and maintain the improvements within the Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 (hereafter referred to as “District”). The District was formed on May 26, 1982 and is annually levied pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (hereafter referred to as the “1972 Act”). The annual assessments levied on parcels within the District are based on the special benefits received, and partially fund the costs associated with the installation, maintenance, operation and administration of the public streetlight system within the District.
This Engineer's Report (hereafter referred to as the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to the order of the City Council as required by the provisions Chapter 3, of the 1972 Act (commencing with Section 22620), which outlines the procedures for the annual levy of assessments. This Report provides an update of the District including the proposed expenses and revenues, any substantial change in the improvements or the District, and the proposed assessments to be levied on the County of Los Angeles (the “County”) tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, of the 1972 Act (inclusive of Sections 22565 through 22574). In addition to the provisions of the 1972 Act, it has been determined that the existing annual assessments for this District have been previously levied in accordance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID which was enacted as a result of the passage of Proposition 218, approved by the California voters in November 1996.
The annual assessment rate for the District has not increased since Fiscal Year 1992/1993, although the costs of providing the improvements that benefit the properties within the District have continued to rise. Initially, the rising costs to provide streetlights within the District were offset by the District fund balance and an assessment increase was not necessary. Eventually the District fund balance was exhausted and the City began making increasingly greater contributions each year to the District expenses, not only to cover the general benefit portion of the costs, but also to subsidize the special benefit costs not recovered by the annual assessments.
In 2004, the City performed an extensive review of the District including the boundaries of the District, the properties therein, the special benefit properties received from the improvements, the general benefit the improvements may provide to properties outside the District or to the public at large, as well as the current and long-term costs and expenses associated with providing the improvements. Based on this review and evaluation, the City Council determined that it was necessary and in the best interest of the property owners within the District to conduct a property owner protest ballot proceeding for an increase to the annual assessments for Fiscal Year 2004/2005 in accordance with the 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 2 provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID. Based on the ballot tabulation conducted on July 8, 2004, a majority protest existed, and the proposed assessment increase was not imposed.
The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify, on the tax roll, properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.
At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will consider public testimony regarding the District. The City Council will review the Engineer’s Annual Report and may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted.
Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the Council will order the levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County of Los Angeles (the “County”) Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2026/2027. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved by the City Council.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT LEGISLATION
As a result of the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996, Articles XIIIC and XIIID were added to the California Constitution. Article XIIID specifically addressed both the substantive and procedural requirements to be followed for assessments.
The procedural and approval process for assessments outlined in this article apply to assessment districts, with the exception of those existing assessments that met one or more of the exemptions set forth in Section 5 of the Article. Specifically as it relates to Lighting District No. 1, the exemption provision set forth in Section 5(a) of Article XIIID states:
“...assessments existing on the effective date of this Article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 [if they were] imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.”
The District’s streetlight assessments were established in Fiscal Year 1982/1983 and have not been increased since Fiscal Year 1992/1993. These assessments have funded improvements that are classified as street improvements as defined herein based on the definitions provided by the Office of the Controller for the State 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 3 of California in the “Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures” published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs. The state's gas tax program is administered in city agencies, but audited by the Office of the State Controller. The proceeds of the gas tax are statutorily limited to expenditures for streets and roads.
Because the funds are restricted to street and road expenditures, the State Controller has developed the “Street Purpose Definitions and Guidelines” based on the “Manual of Uniform Highway Accounting and Financial Management Procedures” developed by the American Association of State Highway Officials.
Street improvement, as it relates to this District, is defined as the construction, operation, or maintenance of facilities within the right of way used for street or road purposes including but not limited to the following:
• Installation or expansion of the streetlight system including replacement of old equipment with superior equipment, installation of traffic signals at intersections and railroad crossings, replacement of equipment as required for relocations for street purposes, and purchase and installation of traffic signal control equipment.
• Servicing lighting systems and street or road traffic control devices including, repainting and repairing traffic signals and lighting standards; and furnishing of power for street and road lighting and traffic control devices.
Therefore, the existing District assessments (assessment rates and method of apportionment) approved and levied prior to the passage of Proposition 218, are exempt from both the substantive and procedural approval process defined by Article XIIID, Section 4, until such time the assessments are increased. 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 4 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND SERVICES
A. BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT
The boundary of the District is completely within the City limits of the City and is shown on the Assessment Diagram, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of Santa Fe Springs, a depiction of which is shown in Exhibit A of this Report. The parcels of real property included within the District are identified by land use categories (“Use Codes”). A listing of the Use Codes that may be applicable to parcels within this District and typically utilized by the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office for identification of property land uses is provided in the Method of Apportionment section of this Report. Excluded from assessments are utility easements, rights-of-way, common areas, public schools, public streets, residential properties, and other public properties. The parcels within the District are described in detail on the assessor parcel maps on file in the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office, which by reference are made a part of this Report.
B. IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE 1972 ACT
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.
2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 5 Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;
• The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices;
• Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5; and
• Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.
The 1972 Act defines "maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.
• The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.
C. IMPROVEMENTS, PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The annual special benefit assessments levied on parcels within the District provide funding for a portion of the annual expenses related to the installation, maintenance, operation and administration of the streetlight system within the District boundaries. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among benefiting parcels in proportion to their special benefits. Streetlight improvements within the City but not within the District’s boundaries and that portion of the District’s improvements determined to be general benefit are funded by other revenue sources. Only improvements, services and incidental expenses 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 6 permitted under provisions of the 1972 Act that are necessary for the ongoing maintenance, operation and administration of the District streetlight system that provides special benefits to the parcels within the District are included in the annual assessment.
Maintenance of the streetlight system within the District may include, but is not limited to removal, repair, replacement, modification, or relocation of the light standards, poles, bulbs, fixtures, and appurtenances. Servicing of the Southern California Edison Company-owned streetlights is furnished by the Southern California Edison Company or by its successors or assignees. The rates charged by the Edison Company include both the power and maintenance costs and are regulated and authorized by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California. The City’s Public Works Department provides for the servicing of the City-owned streetlights. The energy rates charged for City-owned streetlights is also regulated and authorized by the Public Utilities Commission. 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 7 Approximately eight percent (8%) of the streetlights within the District are owned and maintained by Southern California Edison Company. The remaining ninety-two percent (92%) of the streetlights are owned by the City and are maintained by the City. The following table provides a summary of the streetlight inventory within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027:

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of streetlights and appurtenant facilities.
The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in this District reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel.
In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 4, a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel, only special benefits may be assessed and the costs associated with general benefit must separate from the special benefits. Therefore, in compliance with these requirements only the District costs that have been identified as “Special Benefit” are assessed, the costs of any improvements considered to be “General Benefit” have been eliminated from the net amount to be assessed.
B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The District’s improvements, the associated costs and proposed assessments described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit calculation that proportionally allocates the net cost to the benefiting properties pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID and the 1972 Act. The location and extent of the various streetlight improvements within the District and the associated costs have been identified as either “General Benefits” (not assessed) or “Special Benefits”.
Special Benefits
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established for this District utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices and is based on the premise that each of the assessed parcels within the District receives special benefit from the improvements maintained and financed by District assessments. The desirability and security of properties within the District is enhanced by the presence of streetlights in close proximity to those properties.
The primary benefits of streetlights are for the convenience, safety and protection of people as well as the security and protection of property, property improvements 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 9 and goods. Specifically, the benefits of adequate and well-maintained streetlights that benefit both the properties and property owners within the District include:
• Improves ingress and egress to property, provides customers, suppliers and employees an enhanced environment in which to access the properties. • Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection and security activities.
• Reduced vulnerability to criminal assault of employees, patrons and owners at night.
• The promotion of increased business activities during nighttime hours. • Increased nighttime safety on roads and highways.
• Reduced vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements or personal property.
• Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
• Reduction of dumping, graffiti and loitering typically associated with poorly lighted areas.
• Enhances desirability of properties and the ability to conduct or expand business opportunities through association with an area that has sufficient streetlights.
The intensity or degree of illumination provided within the District can enhance these benefits and is a significant factor in determining the benefits properties receive from streetlights improvements. The number and intensity of the streetlights provided in this District are significantly greater than the residential areas of the City and are generally more extensive than the streetlights provided in similar commercial and industrial areas of other cities. For these reasons, it has been determined that the streetlight improvements provided by the District are a special benefit to the properties within the District.
General Benefit
Although the improvements clearly provide special benefits to properties within the District, it is recognized that some of these facilities by the nature of their location may also benefit properties outside the District that are not assessed and to a lesser extent may provide some benefit to the public at large. Therefore, a portion of the cost to operate, maintain, and service the streetlight improvements within the District are identified as general benefit and not included in the annual assessments as special benefit. In a detailed evaluation of the entire streetlight system within the City it was determined that, over eighty percent (80%) of the cost to maintain and service the City’s streetlights is attributable to the streetlights within this District. The remaining twenty percent (20%) of the City’s annual costs for streetlights is associated primarily with the residential areas of the City and these streetlights are currently funded by other revenues sources. Approximately seven percent (7%) of the streetlight improvement costs within the District itself are attributable to streetlight facilities that benefit properties outside the District as well 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 10 as properties within the District. Based on this evaluation, it has been determined that twenty-seven percent (27%) of the District’s annual costs budgeted for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 is considered general benefit. This is a quantifiable percentage based on the current City streetlight system and expenditures. Although not as quantifiable, it is also reasonable to assume that the District improvements also provide some general benefit to the public at large and a reasonable percentage of this benefit should not exceed three percent (3%) for a total general benefit of thirty percent (30%) of the District’s costs. The cost of providing the District improvements that are considered general benefit include benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. These costs shall not be included in the annual assessments and shall be funded by other revenue sources available to the City. These funds are shown in the annual budget of this Report as a General Fund contribution and the amount to be levied as assessments for the District represent only the special benefit portion of the District expenses.
C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such parcel from the improvements. The apportionment of costs used should reflect the composition of the parcels and the improvements and services provided based on each parcel’s estimated special benefit.
Benefit Assessment Unit
To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate the different types of parcel improvements to each other. A value of one unit has been assigned as the basic benefit assessment unit. The benefit assessment unit consists of three classifications of benefit: people, security and intensity. The Benefit Factor for each property type is equal to the aggregate amount of benefit assessment units that a parcel receives.
The following table summarizes the various property types within the District by use code and the applicable benefit assessment units that are applied to those properties.

2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 12 Special Use Codes
The following Use Codes have been listed separately because of their unique operations inherent to their classifications, the size of real property, and the high use as a result of their specific operation. The total benefit assessment unit assigned to each parcel is calculated based on the parcel’s acreage and a specified weighting factor applied to that use code designation (formula). However, the minimum benefit units assigned to a parcel shall not be less than the Benefit Factor shown on the “Use Code and Benefit Assessment Units” table shown on the previous page unless the parcel fronts on a street without lights. In this case, the Benefit Factor may be reduced below this minimum. (Refer to the table for “Streets Without Lights”).
Use Code 99 is a special use code not found in the Los Angeles County Assessor’s listing and is assigned to distribution centers for this District only. Parcels of land in Use Code 99 typically run continual 24-hour operations and receive substantial benefit from the District’s streetlight improvements.

The total Benefit Assessment Units of any parcel identified on the “Use Code and Benefit Assessment Units” table shown on the previous page that front on a street without District streetlights shall be assessed for people-related benefits only. It has been determined that these parcels do not receive the same special benefits from security or intensity that other parcels in the District receive. 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 13 The Special Use Code parcels on streets with no District streetlight facilities are reduced by approximately 1/3 (of Table 3) to account for their reduced special benefits from security or intensity. The calculation of this reduced benefit is outlined in the following table for Special Use Codes:

39 Open Storage 4.36 benefit units / acre
99 Distribution Center 6.58 benefit units / acre
D. BENEFIT FORMULA
The benefit formula applied to each parcel is based on the preceding Benefit Assessment Unit tables. Each parcel’s Benefit Factor is equal to the aggregate amount of benefit assessment units that a parcel receives and correlates to the parcel’s special benefit received as compared to other parcels in the District.
The following formulas are used to calculate each property’s assessment:
People Benefit Assessment Unit + Security Benefit Assessment Unit + Intensity Benefit Assessment Unit = Parcel’s Benefit Factor
Total Balance to Levy/ Aggregate of Benefit Factors = Levy per Benefit Factor (Assessment Rate)
Assessment Rate x Parcel’s Benefit Factor = Parcel Levy Amount 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 14 The following table provides a summary, by Use Code, benefit units, proposed charge, and total count of assessable parcels in the District.

An Assessment District Diagram has been prepared for the District in the format required by the 1972 Act and is on file in the Office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of Santa Fe Springs and is made part of this Report. The Assessment Diagram is available for inspection at the Office of the City Clerk during normal business hours. 2026/2027 Santa Fe Springs Lighting District No. 1 Page 17 EXHIBIT B – 2026/2027 ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ROLL
Parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the parcel as shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
The land use classification for each parcel has been based on the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Roll. A listing of parcels assessed within this District, along with the proposed assessment amounts, has been submitted to the City Clerk and by reference is made part of this Report.
Approval of the Annual Engineer’s Report (as submitted or as modified) confirms the method of apportionment and the assessment rate to be levied against each eligible parcel and thereby constitutes the approved levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The listing of parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel number will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report.
Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

BACKGROUND
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 03/31/26 None Outstanding principal at 03/31/26 $7,750,000
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 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.

The purpose of the industrial ODS is to streamline development approvals while promoting high-quality industrial design.
Lastly, LWC is preparing the Administrative Draft Zoning Code, which will be delivered to City staff for review at the end of April. After City staff review, City staff and LWC will hold several calls to discuss edits to the Administrative Draft Zoning Code.

Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. | City of Santa Fe Springs | Comprehensive Zoning Code Update | Page 8 Participant Feedback and Questions
After the presentation, the following questions were supplied to attendees on poster boards to prompt discussion:
• Landscaping:
1. Do residential properties have too little, too much, or the right amount of landscaping?
2. Is the amount of allowed non-organic/non-living landscaping too little, too much, or the right amount?
3. What recommendations do you have for the residential landscaping standards?
4. Have you or your neighbors experienced any issues with the residential landscaping standards? If so, what were they?
• Industrial Building Design:
1. Are the examples of industrial standards appropriate?
2. Generally, are industrial buildings near residential zones, schools, and parks in Santa Fe Springs appropriate in size (e.g., height, width, etc.)? • Business Sign Standards:
1. Generally, is the amount of permanent signage allowed too little, too much, or the right amount?
2. Generally, is the amount of temporary signage allowed too little, too much, or the right amount?
3. Should monument signs be allowed to be taller than 5 feet in nonresidential zones?
4. Should sign size be allowed to increase if the building and signage are located far from the street?
Participant feedback from discussions and written comments is summarized below.
Residential Landscaping
Participants were split on the issue of allowed coverage of non-organic/non-living landscaping in the front yard. Some attendees recommended increased allowances for non-living landscaping coverage to allow for replacing front lawns with astroturf. Other attendees discouraged increases to the allowed non-living landscaping coverage and disliked large driveways or astroturf on front lawns.
Several participants expressed that residential neighborhoods should have more street trees and that the street trees should be planted in uniform intervals. They described that currently, some blocks only include street trees on certain sides or only on certain streets. A participant mentioned that City trees in rights-ofway are often poorly maintained and not trimmed well.
CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE Workshop #3 – March 18, 2026
Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. | City of Santa Fe Springs | Comprehensive Zoning Code Update | Page 9 Participants also expressed concerns that too many people have E-Z Ups and trash cans on their lawns, while others noted that many existing homes do not have the required planting strip between their driveway and the side property line. Another participant stated that requiring automatic sprinklers is unrealistic.
Industrial Building Design
Several participants stated that the proposed building massing and height standards are inconsistent with modern industrial needs. Participants suggested limiting building massing to a maximum of 500 feet when adjacent to or across the street from a residential zone, school, or park in Santa Fe Springs. Participants also suggested setting the maximum height of industrial buildings within 200 feet of residential zones, schools, or parks in Santa Fe Springs to 40 or 42 feet, allowing for parapets to extend another three or four feet. Another suggestion was to also set a maximum height within 100 feet of a residential zone, school, or park in Santa Fe Springs at 36 feet. One participant noted that the lowest clear height for many industrial operations is 32 feet. A participant additionally suggested a maximum height equal to how far the building is set back, instead of basing height on distance from sensitive receptors.
A participant recommended that more flexibility be provided regarding options for street-facing façade and corner architectural options. Suggestions from participants included allowing any form of band along the façade (e.g., horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) and providing the Director with the authority to allow other equivalent options that are not listed. Another participant suggested that required architectural features be provided within 50 feet of the street-facing corner.
Some participants also noted that the design standards for industrial buildings should consider the separation requirements between loading docks and sensitive uses included in AB 98. The AB 98 separation requirements will likely result in industrial buildings with increased setbacks in the front to accommodate parking.
Other
• A participant described that industrial landscaping living plant coverage requirements are too onerous and incompatible with the operations of some industrial uses. • One participant noted that the existing land use definitions are inconsistent with operations for modern warehouses and 3rd party logistics uses.
• Some participants were concerned about nonconforming allowances for existing and recently constructed industrial buildings that may not adhere to updated Zoning Code design standards. • A participant thought that residential developments proposed near existing industrial buildings or industrial zones should be subject to additional standards (e.g., larger buffers or setbacks). • No comments were provided on signage outside of the Mentimeter polling during the presentation.

ITEM # 14
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Gus Hernandez, Director of Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE TWO (2) MOBILE MESSAGING LED VIDEO
TRAILERS USING PROPOSITION C LOCAL RETURN FUNDS AND GENERAL FUND
RESERVES
DATE: April 21, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase of two (2) mobile messaging LED video trailers from Musco Sports Lighting in the amount not to exceed $326,712.50; and
2. Approve the use of Proposition C Local Return funds of $326,712.50 as approved by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro); and
3. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the purchase is $326,712.50, which includes equipment, training, tax, and freight.
The full amount will be funded through the City’s Proposition C Local Return Allocation, as approved by LA Metro.
BACKGROUND
The City hosts frequent events and public activities where clear, real-time communication is essential for safety, traffic control, and operations. Current tools such as rented LED screens and static signage are limited and costly. Mobile LED video trailers offer a more effective solution by enabling highly visible, flexible, real-time messaging, including alerts, directions, and public information.
DISCUSSION
On March 2, 2026, the City issued RFQ 26–1 for Two (2) MAX1710 Insane Impact mobile LED screen display trailers. The bid document identified specific requirements for the solution the City desires.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL21, 2026
Authorization to Purchase Two (2) Mobile Messaging LED Video Trailers Using Proposition C Local Return Funds and General Fund Reserves
The specifications included technical, service/maintenance, training, and warranty requirements for the solution. The solicitation closed on March 19, 2026, with a total of seven (7) responses.
After a thorough review of the proposed LED Trailers, the City recommends selecting the solution from Musco Sports Lighting. The solution proposed by Musco Sports Lighting/Insane Impact exactly matched the City’s specification requirements. Furthermore, they can deliver within the required 45 days. Musco Sports Lighting submitted the third-lowest bid of $295,000 ($326,713 with sales tax and any applicable fees included).
It should be noted that United Signs, the initial lowest bidder, formally withdrew its bid shortly after submission. They indicated the pricing they inadvertently submitted, which did not include the required power generator and cost escalators, such as tariffs. INA LED’s solution, while closely matching the City’s requirements, did not meet all the requirements. As part of the evaluation process, the City provides INA LED US with an opportunity to demonstrate its LED solution. They were only able to showcase a couple of LED panels that were not mounted on a trailer with a hydraulic lift. Furthermore, their solution offered a short warranty period, and the delivery time exceeded the City’s 90-day requirement.

ITEM # 15
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Gus Hernandez, Director of Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE FOUR (4) GENERATOR LIGHT TOWERS, USING
PROPOSITION C LOCAL RETURN FUNDS
DATE: April 21, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase of four (4) generator light towers, in an amount not to exceed $75,000.00; and
2. Authorize the Director of Parks and Recreation to issue a purchase order(s) for the procurement of the equipment in an amount not-to-exceed $75,000.00: and
3. Approve the use of Proposition C Local Return funds, as approved by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), to finance this purchase; and
4. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost of the purchase is $70,406.29, which includes equipment, and an estimated 15% for tax and freight. Funding will be provided entirely through the City’s Proposition C Local Return Allocation, as approved by LA Metro. No General Funds will be used.
In 2022, Sourcewell Agreement Number 020923-GNR was established with Generac through a competitive process. This purchase agreement is still valid and authorized Generac resellers can provide the City with supplies, equipment, and services using the same terms, conditions, and pricing/discount rates (Piggyback Purchase). Aviate Enterprises Inc. (Aviate) has agreed to provide the required items using the Sourcewell agreement. This exception to the standard bidding process is authorized under Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 34.18(B)(2) – Purchase By Bidding Required Generally; Exceptions. The aforementioned municipal code section states:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 21, 2026
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE FOUR (4) GENERATOR LIGHT TOWERS USING PROPOSITION
C LOCAL RETURN FUNDS
Purchases of supplies, equipment, and services shall be made pursuant to the procedures set forth in this subchapter, except for the following:
Cooperative or piggyback purchasing, which may consist of the following:
(2) Contracts with suppliers who have been awarded contracts by the state or other local agencies for the purchase of supplies, equipment, and services under a competitive bidding process.
BACKGROUND
The City regularly hosts community events, civic engagements, emergency response operations, and infrastructure-related activities that require temporary, reliable lighting and portable power solutions for pedestrian and traffic safety. Events such as Independence Day, Art Fest, Concerts in the Park, which all have shuttle stops extend into low-light conditions and require enhanced illumination and electrical capacity to ensure safety and operations. The City has relied on rented light towers and temporary electrical setups, which require advanced scheduling, ongoing rental costs, and coordination across departments. This approach can limit flexibility and increase operational costs, particularly during peak event seasons or emergency situations.
The portable lighting units will be used to illuminate temporary transit shuttle stops, passenger loading areas, pedestrian crossings, and traffic control locations where permanent lighting infrastructure is not available or sufficient. The equipment will support the City's ability to safely manage traffic circulation, transit operations, and pedestrian movements during periods of increased transportation demand, including special transit services, roadway incidents, and other transportation-related activities and events. The mobile lighting units will enhance visibility for motorists, pedestrians, and City personnel performing traffic control duties, thereby improving safety and operational efficiency within the local transportation network.
To improve operational readiness and reduce long-term costs, staff have identified the need to purchase City-owned generator light towers. Staff submitted a request to LA Metro seeking approval to utilize $100,000 Proposition C Local Return funds for this purpose. LA Metro has confirmed that such equipment is an eligible expense under the program, approving the $100,000 supporting transportation-related activities including traffic safety, pedestrian visibility, and event traffic management.
ANALYSIS
The proposed purchase includes portable, trailer-mounted generator light towers designed for rapid deployment and multi-purpose use. These systems will provide high-output illumination and reliable power in a variety of settings, including traffic control points, pedestrian corridors, staging areas, and emergency response operations. The proposed equipment will include:
• Trailer-mounted diesel generator light towers (4 units) • LED light fixtures with adjustable mast systems
• Portable generators and distribution panels
• Electrical cabling and connectors
• Safety and stabilization equipment

City Clerk, Maribel Garcia
The generator light towers utilize energy-efficient LED lighting technology, providing superior illumination while reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact compared to traditional lighting systems. Adjustable mast systems allow for targeted lighting coverage, improving visibility and safety for both motorists and pedestrians.
Ownership of this equipment will allow City staff to quickly deploy lighting and power infrastructure without reliance on third-party vendors. This will significantly enhance the City’s ability to respond to unplanned needs, including emergency incidents, traffic collisions, and power outages, while also improving the quality and safety of planned events.
ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A
DISCUSSION
This purchase represents a proactive and cost-effective approach to enhancing the City’s operational readiness and public safety capabilities. By transitioning from rented equipment to City-owned assets, the City will achieve long-term cost savings while gaining the flexibility to deploy lighting and power resources at a moment’s notice.
Generator light towers are critical tools for maintaining safe environments during evening events, traffic control operations, and emergency situations. Adequate lighting improves visibility for drivers, pedestrians, and staff, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall site management. These systems also support compliance with safety standards and best practices for public events and work zones.
SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council approval of the recommended actions, staff will proceed with procurement, coordinate delivery and training, and ensure that all expenditures are charged to the City’s Proposition C Local Return account as authorized by LA Metro. The equipment will then be integrated into City operations for use in community events, transportation safety efforts, and emergency response activities.

Nothing in this statement is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the CGA, except to the extent permitted by that Act, and these terms are to be modified to the extent necessary to give effect to that intention.

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: JOINT PARTICIPATION PROJECT WITH THE CITY OF LA MIRADA - SLURRY SEAL OF
VALLEY VIEW AVENUE FROM ROSECRANS AVENUE TO ALONDRA BOULEVARD AND FROM PARK PLACE TO ARTESIA BOULEVARD – ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
DATE: April 21, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Appropriate an additional $99,500 from the Measure SFS Fund to the subject project (PW260101); and
2. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current appropriation amount for Santa Fe Springs’ portion of the Slurry Seal of Valley View Avenue (Rosecrans Avenue to Alondra Boulevard and from Park Place to Artesia Boulevard) is $175,500. This appropriation was based on the City of La Mirada’s Engineer’s Estimate, prior to receiving bids.
La Mirada awarded the construction contract to Pavement Coatings Co. in the amount of $407,799 on October 14th, 2025. Per the terms of the Joint Participation Agreement with the City of La Mirada, the City of Santa Fe Springs’ portion of the contract totaled $178,841.
The current project adjustments to unit quantities and contract change orders have added $70,085 to the base contract cost. Staff recommends an additional appropriation in the amount of $99,500 from the Measure SFS Fund to cover the extra costs, the remainder of the project contract items, and contingency.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF April 21, 2026
Slurry Seal of Valley View Avenue – Additional Appropriation of Funds
The project cost breakdown is as follows:
The revised Santa Fe Springs portion of the project costs is as follows:
BACKGROUND
On June 3rd, 2025, City Council approved the Joint Participation Agreement with the City of La Mirada for the subject project. The City of La Mirada is managing the construction contract, construction management and inspection. The City of Santa Fe Springs agreed to reimburse La Mirada for the final actual cost of the work within the City of Santa Fe Springs. The original appropriation of $175,500 for the project was based on the Engineer’s Estimate provided by La Mirada.
ANALYSIS
A summary of the conditions resulting in change orders as of April 9, 2026 is as follows:
• Rain and cold weather caused a halt to slurry sealing; thus, a remobilization fee was agreed upon to push the schedule to a later date.
• A substantial amount of 8-inch-deep asphalt dig-outs were added to the project to repair localized pavement failures prior to slurry sealing. The Contractor reduced their unit price and provided a new cost based on the actual amount of dig-outs required. • Due to increased construction traffic during the excavation (dig-out) phase, the City of La Mirada directed the contractor to cease daily operations earlier to minimize impacts to evening peak traffic. This directive extended the project schedule and necessitated additional compensation for two (2) additional working days.
• Due to high vehicle volumes and construction traffic, the City of La Mirada requested that the slurry seal work be performed over the weekend. All parties agreed to the associated premium costs for this revised schedule.
ORGINAL CONTRACT ESTIMATED AMOUNT
La Mirada Portion of Construction $ 228,958
SFS Portion of Construction $ 178,841
Total Project Cost: $ 407,799

Intersection Improvements at Valley View Avenue and Alondra Boulevard – Award of Contract
BACKGROUND
The Valley View Avenue and Alondra Boulevard Intersection Improvement project covers areas within the shared boundaries of the City of La Mirada. The main goal of the project is to improve traffic flow through the intersection. This will involve widening the road, constructing right-turn lanes, creating dual left-turn lanes, and upgrading the traffic signal equipment. Other project improvements include removal and replacement of existing curb & gutter, sidewalks, curb ramps, parkway drains, and driveways, as needed.
ANALYSIS
On December 2, 2025, the City Council authorized the advertisement for construction bids for the subject project. The solicitation for construction bids was advertised on December 10, 2025 in accordance with the California Public Contract Code.
Bids were opened on February 19, 2026, and a total of six bids were received. City staff reviewed the proposals and determined that all bid proposals complied with the project specifications. The apparent low bidder for the project was Marjani Builders, Inc. of Rancho Mission Viejo, CA with a bid totaling $2,685,191. The tabulated bid results are as follows:

ARTICLE 2 - SERVICES OF CONTRACTOR
2.1 Scope of Services. In compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Contractor shall provide those services specified in the Contract Documents, which services may be referred to herein as the “Services” or “Work” hereunder. As a material inducement to the City entering into this Agreement, Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor is a provider of first class work and services and Contractor is experienced in performing the work and services contemplated herein and, in light of such status and experience, Contractor covenants that it shall follow the highest professional standards in performing the work and services required hereunder and that all materials will be of good quality, fit for the purpose intended. Further, Contractor represents that it is knowledgeable and experienced in constructing improvements that are compliant with all applicable accessibility requirements and warrants that all work performed under this agreement will comply with all applicable accessibility requirements.
2.2 Compliance with Law. All services rendered hereunder shall be provided in accordance with all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of the City and any Federal, State or local governmental having jurisdiction in effect at the time service is rendered, including but not limited to, all applicable accessibility requirements.
2.3 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments. Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement, including registration with the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of California as required by Labor Code Section 1725.5 before commencing performance under this Agreement.

assessments, taxes penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.
Contractor shall be responsible for all subcontractors' compliance with this Section 2.3.
2.4 Familiarity with Work. By executing this Contract, Contractor warrants that Contractor (a) has thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of services to be performed, including the requirement that the facilities being constructed must comply with all applicable accessibility requirements, (b) has carefully considered how the services should be performed, and (c) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement.

Should Contractor discover any latent or unknown conditions, which will materially affect the performance of the services hereunder, Contractor shall immediately inform the City of such fact and shall not proceed except at Contractor's risk until written instructions are received from the City.
2.5 Standard of Performance. Contractor, its subcontractors and their employees, in the performance of Contractor’s work under this Agreement shall be responsible for exercising the degree of skill and care required by customarily accepted good professional practices and procedures used in the Contractor’s field. Any costs for failure to meet the foregoing standard or to correct otherwise defective work that requires re-performance of the work, shall be borne in total by the Contractor and not by the City. The failure of a project to achieve the performance goals and objectives stated in this Agreement is not a basis for requesting re-performance unless the work conducted by Contractor and/or its subcontractors is deemed by the City to have failed the foregoing standard of performance.
In the event Contractor fails to perform in accordance with the above standard:
2.51. Contractor will re-perform, at its own expense, any task which was not performed to the reasonable satisfaction of City.

In the event the City directs Contractor not to re-perform a task, the City shall negotiate a reasonable settlement for satisfactory work performed. No previous payment shall be considered a waiver of the City’s right to reimbursement.
Nothing contained in this section is intended to limit any of the rights or remedies which the City may have under law.

2.6 Care of Work. Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods during the life of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as may be caused by City's own negligence.

a. Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated; or (3) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the contract.

That, in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by the contract, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the contract. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
2.9 Utility Relocation. City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk line utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the invitation for bids or specifications.

11.1 Indemnity. Except as to the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of the City, Contractor assumes liability for and agrees, at Contractor’s sole cost and expense, to promptly and fully indemnify and hold the City, its City Council, and all of its respective officials, officers, directors, employees, managers, commission members, representatives, agents, council members, (“Indemnitees”), harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, claims, allegations, actions, suits, arbitrations, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, or other legal proceedings, causes of action, demands, costs, judgments, liens, stop notices, penalties, damages, losses, anticipated losses of revenue, expenses (including, but not limited to, any fees of accountants, attorneys, experts or other professionals, or investigation expenses), costs, including attorneys’ fees, or losses of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether actual, threatened or alleged, arising out of, resulting from or is in any way (either directly or indirectly) related to, or is in any manner connected with, the performance of Work, the Project, activities, operations or duties of Contractor, or anyone employed by or working under Contractor, and from all claims by anyone employed by or working under Contractor for services rendered to Contractor in the performance of this Agreement (“Indemnity Claims”), notwithstanding that the City may have benefited from their services. This indemnification provision shall apply to any acts or omissions, willful 2025-12 Valley View Blvd at Alondra Blvd
Intersection Improvement
D-13
misconduct or negligent conduct, whether active or passive, on the part of Contractor or of anyone employed by or working under Contractor.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys’ fees, costs or expense that the City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this Section, and that this Section shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Agreement.
11.2 Duty to Defend. Contractor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to promptly defend the Indemnitees from all Indemnity Claims. The duty of the Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees includes the separate and independent duty to defend the Indemnitees, which duty arises immediately upon receipt by Contractor of the tender of any Indemnity Claim from an Indemnitee. The Contractor’s obligation to defend the Indemnitees shall be at Contractor’s sole expense, and not be excused because of Contractor’s inability to evaluate liability or because the Contractor evaluates liability and determines that the Contractor is not liable. This duty to defend shall apply whether or not an Indemnity Claim has merit or is meritless, or which involves claims or allegations that any or all of the Indemnitees were actively, passively or concurrently negligent, or which otherwise assert that the Indemnitees are responsible, in whole or in part, for any Indemnity Claim. Contractor agrees to provide this defense immediately upon written notice from the City, and with well qualified, adequately insured and experienced legal counsel acceptable to the City.
11.3 Subcontractor Requirements. In addition to the requirements set forth hereinabove, Contractor shall ensure, by written subcontract agreement, that each of Contractor’s Subcontractors of every tier shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees with respect to Indemnity Claims arising out of, in connection with, or in any way related to each such Subcontractors’ Work on the Project in the same manner in which Contractor is required to protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such defense and indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible to the Indemnitees according to the terms of this Article.
11.4 No Limitation or Waiver of Rights. Contractor’s obligations under this Article are in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Indemnitees may have under the law or under the Contract Documents. Contractor’s indemnification and defense obligations set forth in this Article are separate and independent from the insurance provisions set forth in the Agreement and do not limit, in any way, the applicability, scope, or obligations set forth in such insurance provisions. The purchase of insurance by the Contractor with respect to the obligations required herein shall in no event be construed as fulfillment or discharge of such obligations. City approval of the Insurance contracts required by this Agreement does not in any way relieve the Contractor from liability under this section. In any and all claims against the Indemnitees by any employee of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any supplier of the Contractor or Subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the obligations under this Article shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any Subcontractor or any supplier of either of them, under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. Failure of the City to monitor compliance 2025-12 Valley View Blvd at Alondra Blvd
Intersection Improvement
D-14
with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on the City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
11.5 Withholding to Secure Obligations. In the event an Indemnity Claim arises prior to final payment to Contractor, the City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies due Contractor for the purpose of resolving such Indemnity Claims; provided, however, the City may release such funds if the Contractor provides the City with reasonable assurances of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. The City shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
11.6 Limitations. Notwithstanding the above provisions of section 11.1 and 11.2, Contractor shall not be liable for the defense or indemnification of the City for claims, actions, complaints or suits arising out of the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
11.7 Survival of Indemnity Obligations. Contractor’s obligations under this Article are binding on Contractor’s and its Subcontractors’ successors, heirs and assigns and shall survive the completion of the Work or termination of the Contractor’s performance of the Work.

The defaulting party shall have ten (10) days to cure the default; provided that, if the default is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within said ten (10) day period, the defaulting party shall have a reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed a maximum of thirty (30) days, so long as the defaulting party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of such notice and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; provided further that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, the defaulting party shall take such immediate action as may be necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nondefaulting party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant a longer cure period. Should the defaulting party fail to cure the default within the time period provided in this Section, the nondefaulting party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights the nondefaulting party may have at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement. Compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.7 shall be a condition precedent to bringing any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured.

CITY WIDE STREET LIGHT CONVERSION PROJECT– FINAL PAYMENT
The payment detail (Attachment A) represents the Final Payment (less 5% retention due), according to the terms of the contract, for work that has been completed and found to be satisfactory. The retention will be released following the mandatory waiting period following the filing of the Notice of Completion with the LA County Registrar-Recorder.
BACKGROUND
On January 21, 2025, the City Council authorized the award of contract to Yunex, LLC. to replace high pressure sodium vapor street light fixtures with new city-furnished LED luminaires. Subsequently, three change orders were authorized by the Council to address unforeseen conditions, mainly relating to damage caused by stolen wire including broken conduits. The missing wire and broken conduits were discovered once the new light fixtures were replaced and the wires needed to be replaced and conduits fixed in order to energize the new light fixtures.
On August 19, 2025, the City Council approved Change Order Nos. 1 and 2 in a total amount of $123,730. The additional work was related to the repair of damages related to copper wire theft and vandalism and improvements to deter future theft.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council approval of the recommended actions, the Public Works Department will coordinate with the Finance Department to issue final payment to Yunex, LLC. and proceed to close the project. The Public Works Department will then file the Notice of Completion with the LA County Registrar-Recorder as a part of the project closure.

Description of Changes in Work:
Item
No.: Proposed Change In Work:
1 CCO No. 01 – Credit for Untreated Base Adjustments:
Field conditions of subgrade under concrete replacements allowed the Contractor to construct several improvements without the need for untreated base material. The Contractor provided a base credit to the City and in turn the City accepted additional concrete work as payment for the base savings. The balance slightly exceeded the base credit.
2 CCO No. 02 – Additional Concrete Work Quantities:
The low bid and project budget allowed the City to add additional concrete quantities to the project. The City and the Contractor agreed to retain the original contract bid unit prices for all additional quantities.
