What was this for?
On May 23rd the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Parkeon for replacement of single space meters with pay stations for a contract amount not-to-exceed $99,115.00. This will eliminate 72 single space meters and replace them with six (6) pay This will also upgrade the pay stations in the 1st, 8th, and 10th Street beach parking lots. Maintenance of the single space meters is increasing as the technology becomes outdated. Fewer machines is fewer machines to maintain and fix when problems occur. This is a projected long-term savings of $20,104.83, as a result of moving from the single space meters to pay stations. For clarity, Flowbird and Parkeon are the same company. # 24482 8/18/22 Ortco, Inc $ 20,555.00

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
AMENDING TITLE 11 OF THE SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL
CODE TO ALLOW PROJECTIONS INTO SIDE YARD
SETBACKS IN THE RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY (RLD-9)
ZONE DISTRICT ALONG THE “GOLD COAST” AREA OF
OCEAN AVENUE AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.2.05.015.I.1 (Projections Into Yards – Architectural Features) sets forth standards for projection of architectural features into setbacks on residential properties and limits the length they can project/encroach into side setbacks. Based on community concerns, staff has identified the need to amend Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.2.05.015.I.1 as it pertains to the Gold Coast area along Ocean Avenue in the City of Seal Beach.
Section 2. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Seal Beach does hereby find, determine, and declare that:
A. On July 18, 2022, the Planning Commission considered this Ordinance at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or against this matter.
B. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 22-11, recommending approval of the Ordinance by the City Council.
C. The City Council, at a regular meeting, considered the Ordinance on August 8, 2022, at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or against this matter.
D. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire record of information received at the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
Section 3. California Environmental Quality Act Exemption. The City Council determines that this ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because the amendment clarifies and eliminates inconsistencies with respect to existing development standards for the projection of certain architectural features on certain 2 residentially-zoned properties and consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing regulations and specification of procedures related thereto for the new construction of small accessory structures. The amendment, therefore, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15301, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 4. Findings. In approving the proposed Zoning Code amendment, the City Council hereby makes the following findings that the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan as follows:
A. The proposed Code Amendment is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element Goal and Policy:

B. The proposed amendments are also consistent with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, will not have an impact either individually or cumulatively on coastal resources, and do not involve any change in existing or proposed use of land or water.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 12, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Acting Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Awarding and Authorizing Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Z&K Consultants, Inc. for the
Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvement Project (CIP
BG2105) – Construction Management and Inspection
Services
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7327:
1. Awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Z&K Consultants, Inc. in a not-to-exceed amount of $220,971.50 to provide construction management and inspection services for the Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvement Project (CIP BG2105); and,
2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and,
3. Authorizing the City Manager to approve additional work requests up to the total amount of $10,000 in connection with the Project; and,
4. Rejecting all other proposals.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On December 13, 2021, the City Council reviewed the Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvement Project (Project) conceptual design plans and approved $2,600,000 for the design, construction management, construction, and inspection costs. The Project team moved forward with the design process while incorporating multiple stakeholders’ comments.
The Project is nearing design completion. Given the Project’s complexity, it is customary to retain a construction manager at this point to allow them to become familiarized with the Project and provide a constructability review. It is also recommended that the construction management and inspection services be
coordinated to provide the best construction oversight. Accordingly, staff solicited for proposals and received five (5) proposals.
An evaluation panel comprised of Public Works staff interviewed three (3) potential consultants to assess their relevant experience, availability, familiarity with the Project, understanding and approach, amongst other factors. Staff recommends selecting Z&K Consultants, Inc. (Z&K) as the most qualified consultant to provide construction management and inspection services.
Z&K is familiar with the Project site, scope of work, challenges, and needs. Thomas Dawson, Senior Building/Construction Inspector at Z&K, brings over 28 years of experience providing construction oversight and previously served as the building official for the County of Orange. Zach Faqih, Senior Construction Manager at Z&K, brings a strong background of over 32 years of experience in construction management and was the building official for the City of Yorba Linda for over 15 years.
Z&K’s proposal is in a not-to-exceed amount of $220,971.50, which includes both construction management and inspection services for the construction duration. A separate inspector is being proposed, versus utilizing Public Works’ existing contract inspector, to provide construction oversight that this Project will require.
The scope of work generally includes:
• Constructability review
• Construction oversight and contract enforcement
• Documented inspection services
• Material and testing services
• Project coordination and public outreach
• Project close-out
Given the Projects’ complexity and importance to the City’s public facility, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to approve additional work requests up to $10,000 to avoid delay in resolving any unforeseen urgent issues.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that approval of a professional services agreement with Z&K will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Environmental impacts related to the project construction will be assessed under a separate effort.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has approved the agreement and resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with Z&K’s agreement will be expensed from the Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvement Project (BG2105) Project account. Sufficient funding for the construction management and inspection services has been budgeted. No budget amendment is being requested at this time.
CIP Project Amount
Construction Management & Inspection Services $ 220,971.50 Contingency $ 10,000
Total $ 230,971.50
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
MEASURE BB:
This item is not applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and Essential Services Protection Measure.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7327:
1. Awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Z&K Consultants, Inc. in a not-to-exceed amount of $220,971.50 to provide construction management and inspection services for the Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvement Project (CIP BG2105); and,
2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and,
3. Authorizing the City Manager to approve additional work requests up to the total amount of $10,000 in connection with the Project; and,
