This agreement may also be terminated for convenience by the City of Guadalupe or the City of Santa Maria by providing at least ninety (90) days' notice in the manner specified for notices in this agreement.
If this agreement is terminated for convenience within the initial term of this agreement, the City of Guadalupe must be prepared to assume responsibility for providing its own dispatch and technical support services and return to the City of Santa Maria all loaned radio equipment listed in Appendix A within fourteen (14) days of service termination.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing a Proposed No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Depot Street
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the establishment of a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection with Depot Street to accommodate new bus stops as part of the updated City of Santa Maria Transit service.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Depot Street.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Transit Division is requesting the establishment of new bus stops with corresponding No Stopping Zones on the northwest and southeast corners of Main Street (State Route 166) and Depot Street intersection.
The proposed No Stopping Zones have been designed to provide adequate space for City buses to safely accelerate and merge back into traffic on Main Street (State Route 166).
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to “be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right -of-way”. The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for no stopping zones and recommends their establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate no stopping zones within the City.
2 The No Stopping Zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
North side of Main Street, west of Depot Street, beginning at the eastern curb return of the western driveway on the north side of Main Street, just west of Depot Street, continuing east for a length of 80 linear feet. South side of Main Street, east of Depot Street, beginning at the eastern curb return of the southeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and Depot Street, continuing east for a length of 80 linear feet.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Stopping Zone.
Fiscal Considerations
Installation of the No Stopping Zone will require labor and materials to paint the curb red.
Periodic maintenance will be needed as the paint fades over time. Staff estimates the initial installation cost to be approximately $300.
Impact on the Community
Approximately four parking spaces on the north side and four spaces on the south side of Main Street will be removed to accommodate the new bus stops and No Stopping Zone. The change is expected to improve visibility, pedestrian safety, and transit operations at the intersection.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing a Proposed No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Pine Street
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the establishment of a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection with Pine Street to accommodate new bus stops as part of the updated City of Santa Maria Transit service.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Pine Street.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Transit Division is requesting the removal of existing midblock bus stops and their associated No Stopping Zones along Main Street (State Route 166) between Curryer Street and Thornburg Street. In their place, new bus stops with the corresponding No Stopping Zones proposed on the northwest and southeast corners of Main Street (State Route 166) and Pine Street intersection.
The relocation of the bus stops to the intersection corners is intended to encourage pedestrians to cross at signalized intersections rather than mid -block, and to provide a more suitable location for buses to accelerate from a complete stop, improving operations and safety compared to midblock stops.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to “be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way”. The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for No Stopping Zones and recommends their establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate No Stopping Zones within the City. 2 The No Stopping Zone recommended for established is described as follows:
North side of Main Street, west of Pine Street, beginning at the western curb return of the northwest corner of the intersection of Main Street and Pine Street, continuing west for a length of 80 linear feet.
South side of Main Street, east of Pine Street, beginning at the eastern curb return of the southeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and Pine Street, continuing east for a length of 80 linear feet.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Stopping Zone.
Fiscal Considerations
Installation of the No Stopping Zone will require labor and materials to paint the curbs red.
Periodic maintenance will be needed as the paint fades over time. Staff estimates the initial installation cost to be approximately $300.
Impact on the Community
Approximately four parking spaces on the north side and four spaces on the south side of Main Street will be removed to accommodate the new bus stops and No Stopping Zone. The change is expecte d to improve visibility, pedestrian safety, and transit operations at the intersection.

DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing a Proposed No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Russell Avenue
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the establishment of a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection with Russell Avenue to accommodate new bus stops as part of the updated City of Santa Maria Transit service.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a No Stopping Zone on Main Street (State Route 166) at the intersection of Russell Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Transit Division is requesting the removal of the existing midblock bus stops and their associated “No Stopping Zones” along Main Street (State Route 166) between Blosser Road and Russel Avenue. In their place, new bus stops with corresponding "No Stopping Zones” are proposed on the northwest and southeast corners of the Main Street (State Route 166) and Russel Avenue intersection.
The relocation of the bus stops to the intersection corners is intended to encourage pedestrians to cross safely at intersections rather than midb lock, and to provide a more suitable location for buses to accelerate from a complete stop, improving operations compared to midblock stops.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to “be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way”. The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for No Stopping Zones and recommends their establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate No Stopping Zones within the City.
2 The No Stopping Zone recommended for establishment is described as follows:
North side of Main Street, west of Russell Ave nue, beginning at the eastern curb return of the western driveway on the north side of Main Street, continuing east for a length of 115 linear feet.
South side of Main Street, east of Russell Avenue, beginning at the southern curb return of the southeast c orner of the intersection of Main Street and Russell Avenue, continuing east for a length of 80 linear feet.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Stopping Zone.
Fiscal Considerations
Installation of the No Stopping Zone will require labor and materials to paint the curb red.
Periodic maintenance will be needed as the paint fades over time. Staff estimates the initial installation cost to be approximately $300.
Impact on the Community
Approximately six parking spaces on the north side and four spaces on the south side of Main Street will be removed to accommodate the new bus stops and No Stopping Zone.
The change is expected to improve visibility, pedestrian safety, and transit operati ons at the intersection.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions to Award Two Professional Services Agreement For On-Call Construction Stormwater Inspection Services
Description:
The City Council will c onsider approving the award of On -Call Construction Stormwater Inspection Services Agreements to Tetra Tech, Inc. and Trihydro.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Tetra Tech, Inc. for On-Call Construction Stormwater Inspection Services in the amount of $500,000; and
2. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Trihydro for On-Call Construction Stormwater Inspection Services in the amount of $500,000; and
3. Authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute agreements.
BACKGROUND:
Stormwater is precipitation that does not absorb into the ground and instead becomes runoff, which flows into waterways or storm drains. When this runoff picks up pollutants, such as automotive fluids, sediment, pesticides, and other contaminants, it can harm local water bodies like the Santa Maria River and the Pacific Ocean.
The City of Santa Maria actively manages stormwater within its limits. While early efforts focused on flood control, more recent State regulations now emphasize the quality of stormwater discharged from the City’s conveyance system.
The Public Works Department enforces State and Federal pollution prevention policies by ensuring required permits and plans are in place before construction begins. Staff assist applicants in identifying requirements and oversee the implementation of pollution controls.
2 Construction projects disturbing over one acre must comply with the California Construction General Permit. Smaller projects may also require coverage if part of a larger development. Projects under one acre that are not part of a common pl an must submit an erosion and sediment control plan.
Applicants must implement stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) throughout construction, year -round. Non -compliance may lead to correction notices, permit suspension, use of developer deposits for remediation, or stop work orders.
DISCUSSION:
On March 26, 2025, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and advertised through the City’s e-Procurement Portal, PlanetBids. A total of four proposals were received on April 23, 2025.
Selection of the best-qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines. A selection committee, consisting of Engineering Division staff, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, the top two ranked firms chosen are as follows:
Firm and Location
1. Tetra Tech, Inc., Santa Maria, CA
2. Trihydro, San Luis Obispo, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements will be managed by the Engineering Division. On-Call Construction Stormwater Inspection Services may also be used by other Departments for applicable funded projects.
Alternative(s)
City Council may choose not to award the Professional Services Agreements and instead direct staff to issue Requests for Proposals on a project-by-project basis.
Fiscal Considerations
There are no significant additional financial impacts anticipated from this action. Most stormwater inspection services are driven by land development. Costs incurred for inspections and reporting on each site’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) or Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) are recovered at the time of grading permit issuance.
Capital Improvement Projects may also require services under this agreement. If needed, project budgets will identify funding at the time of award. As this is an “on-call” agreement, there will be no cost to the City if services are not used.
3 Impact on the Community
This agreement enables the Public Works Department to continue providing stormwater inspection services and ensures compliance with State and Federal construction runoff regulations. Continued access to these services is necessary to maintain effective service delivery and environmental protection for the community.

Atty. Rev. 2021
published wage rate and the predetermined wage rate is on file with the DIR, such predetermined wage rate shall become effective on the date following the expiration date and shall apply to this Agreement in the same manner as if it had been published in said publication.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions to Award Four Professional Services Agreements for On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services
Description:
The City Council will c onsider adopting resolutions approving the award of On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services to 1) Cannon Corporation, 2) Filippin Engineering, Inc., 3) MNS Engineers, Inc., and 4) Wallace Group. The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from firms able to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services. On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services would also be made available to other Departments for funded projects.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Cannon Corporation for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services in the amount of $300,000; and
2. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Filippin Engineering, Inc. for On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services in the amount of $300,000; and
3. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Servic es Agreement to MNS Engineers, Inc. for On -Call Construction Management and Inspection Services in the amount of $300,000; and
4. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Wallace Group for On -Call Construction Management and Inspect ion Services in the amount of $300,000; and
5. Authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute agreements.
2 BACKGROUND:
The City owns, operates, and maintains municipal infrastructure, structures, and facilities throughout the City. The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from firms able to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services.
While the City employs Civil Engineers on staff, these buildings and facilities require professional engineering beyond the capabilities of the existing staff and fall outside the normal workloads; therefore, necessitating the hiring of outside consultants for these services. Having on-call consultants that can provide these services will allow the City to deliver projects in a timely manner.
DISCUSSION:
On March 10, 2025, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and advertised through the City’s e-Procurement Portal, PlanetBids. A total of seven proposals were received on April 07, 2025.
Selection of the best-qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines. A selection committee, consisting of Engineering Division staff, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, the top ranked firms chosen are as follows:
Firm and Location
Cannon Corporation, San Luis Obispo, CA
Filippin Engineering, Inc., San Luis Obispo, CA
MNS Engineers, Inc., Santa Barbara, CA
Wallace Group, San Luis Obispo, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division. On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services would also be made available to other Departments for funded projects.
Individual project task orders will be issued based on the firm’s expertise, work load capacity, services to be performed, schedule requirements, and hourly rates submitted in their proposal. All task orders will be issued based on an agreed -upon, written scope of work, implementation schedule, and maximum fee arrangement negotiated on a project- by-project basis.
Alternative(s)
City Council could decide to not award these Construction Management and Inspection Services Agreements and direct staff to issue Requests for Proposals for each project individually. However, this alternative is not recommended as there is a significant backlog of funded projects for which outside Construction Management and Inspection Services are required to augment City staff. Further, having pre -approved, on-call, as- needed firms readily available will allow for more efficient and timely delivery of projects as multiple projects can be designed concurrently.
3 Fiscal Considerations
Fees for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services will be based on a project-by-project basis and directly charged to individual project budgets. Each project is separately approved and budgeted by the City Council. The City is under no obligation to expend any funds under these Professional Services Agreements.
Impact on the Community
The community will benefit by the City being able to supplement City staff when needed to deliver projects to the community in a timely manner resulting in a higher quality of life for residents and visitors to the community.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions Awarding Professional Services Agreements for On-Call Right of Way Appraisal Services
Description:
The City Council will consider approving the award of On -Call Right-of-Way Appraisal Services Agreements to BBG, Inc. and Hamner, Jewell & Associates.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to BBG, Inc. for On- Call Right-of-Way Appraisal Services in the amount of $300,000; and
2. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Hamner, Jewell & Associates for On-Call Right-of-Way Appraisal Services in the amount of $300,000; and
3. Authorize City Manager or designee to execute agreements.
BACKGROUND:
Right of Way Appraisal Services are necessary for the acquisition of property rights to support City capital improvement projects and other public works-related efforts. Services include appraising properties, preparing appraisal reports, negotiating with property owners, preparing acquisition documents, assisting with escrow and title work, and providing project management, tracking, and clerical support.
DISCUSSION:
On March 26, 2025, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and advertised through the City’s e -Procurement Portal, PlanetBids. A total of two proposals were received on April 23, 2025.
2 Selection of the best-qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines. A selection committee, consisting of Engineering Division staff, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, the top two ranked firms chosen are as follows:
Firm and Location
1. BBG, Inc., Detroit MI
2. Hamner, Jewell & Associates, San Luis Obispo, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements will be managed by the Engineering Division. On -Call Right -of-Way Appraisal Services may also be used by other Departments for applicable funded projects.
Alternative(s)
City Council may choose not to award the Professional Services Agreements and instead direct staff to issue Requests for Proposals on a project-by-project basis.
Fiscal Considerations
There are no significant additional fiscal impacts anticipated. Funding for services will be identified in the budgets of the respective projects at the time of task order issuance. No costs will be incurred unless services are used.
Impact on the Community
These agreements will enable the City to efficiently acquire property rights necessary for capital and public works projects, minimizing project delays and ensuring timely completion of improvements that benefit the community.

8. Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. The City must withhold contract payments from the Contractor as directed by the DIR, pursuant to California Labor Code section 1727.
9. Contractor and Subcontractor Registration Requirements.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions to Award Four Professional Services Agreement for On -Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services
Description:
The City Council will c onsider adopting Resolutions approving the award of On -Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services Agreements to 1) Achievement Engineering Corp., 2) Earth Systems Pacific, 3) EnGeo, and 4) Krazan and Associates.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Achievement Engineering Corp. for On-Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services in the amount of $300,000; and
2. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Earth Systems Pacific for On -Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services in the amount of $300,000; and
3. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to EnGeo for On- Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services in the amount of $300,000; and
4. Adopt a Resolution awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Krazan and Associates for On-Call Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services in the amount of $300,000; and
5. Authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute agreements.
2 BACKGROUND:
The City owns, operates, and maintains municipal infrastructure, structures, and facilities throughout the City. The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from Geotechnical Engineering firms. While the City employs Civil Engineers on staff, the City does not have a Geotechnical Engineers on staff or is able to perform materials testing and must hire outside consultants for these services. Having on -call consultants that can provide these services will allow the City to deliver these projects in a timely manner.
DISCUSSION:
On March 13, 2025, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and advertised through the City’s e-Procurement Portal, PlanetBids. A total of four proposals were received on April 14, 2025.
Selection of the best-qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines. A selection committee, consisting of Engineering Division staff, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, the top four ranked firms chosen are as follows:
Firm, Location
Achievement Engineering Corp., San Jose, CA
Earth System, Santa Maria, CA
EnGeo, Santa Maria, CA
Krazan and Associates, San Luis Obispo, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division, and Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing services would also be made available to use Departments for funded projects.
Individual project task orders will be issued based on the firm’s expertise, workload capacity, services to be performed, schedule requirements, and hourly rates submitted in their proposal. All task orders will be issued based on an agreed -upon, written scope of work, implementation schedule, and maximum fee arrangement negotiated on a project- by-project basis.
Alternative(s)
City Council may choose not to award the Professional Services Agreements and instead direct staff to issue Requests for Proposals on a project-by-project basis.
Fiscal Considerations
Fees for Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing Services will be based on a project-by-project and basis directly charged to individual project budgets. Each project is separately approved and budgeted by City Council. The City is under no obligation to expend any funds under these Professional Services Agreements.
3 Impact on the Community
Awarding these Professional Services Agreements will allow the City to move forward with infrastructure and facility projects more efficiently by ensuring timely access to specialized geotechnical engineerin g and materials testing expertise. This will help maintain the safety, reliability, and quality of public infrastructure while reducing project delays and costs. Ultimately, the community benefits from improved streets, utilities, and facilities that support a higher quality of life and sustainable growth.
