CITY OF SHAFTER
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024
FROM: Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Alex Gonzalez, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT: ORDER ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS WITHIN EXISTING
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS FOR FISCAL YEAR
2024-2025 RESOLUTION ADOPTION
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; conduct a public hearing on the Proposed Annual Levy of Assessments for Existing Landscape and Lighting Districts; and adopt Resolution 2977, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter Confirming Engineer’s Report, Diagram and Assessment for Existing Landscaping and Lighting Districts and Ordering the Levy and Collection of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2973, which declared the intention to levy and collect assessments within existing landscaping and lighting districts for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 for the maintenance and servicing of lighting and landscaping and giving notice of and setting the time and place of the hearing on the annual levy of assessments.
ANALYSIS
The existing districts subject to annual levy of assessments are as follows:
LL001-95 (Tract 5774)
LL001-98 (Tract 5610, APN 026-321-01)
LL001-2002 (Tract 5856)
LL001-2005 (Tracts 6179, 6286, 6287)
LL002-2005 (Tract 6301, 7033)
LL003-2005 (Tract 6222, 6584, 6910, 6936)
LL004-2005 (Tract 6467)
LL001-2006 (Tract 6437, Tract 6713)
LL001-2007 (Tracts 6738, 6447, 6540)
LL002-2007 (Tract 6777)
LL001-2009 (Wonderful Logistics Park & City Rail Site)
LL001-2015 (Gossamer Grove)
LL001-2021 (Tract 7318)
ORDER ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS WITHIN EXISTING LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 RESOLUTION ADOPTION - 2 -
LL001-2022 (Tract 6490)
Resolution No. 2973 also approved the engineer’s reports for each district to recommend assessments for the districts parcels. The City has published a notice of the public hearing on the proposed annual levying of assessments listed on this meeting agenda. After conducting the hearing, the Council can order the annual levy of assessments for the districts by adopting Resolution No. 2977.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2024-2025 Fiscal Year budget reflects the estimated expenditures and assessments outlined in the approved engineer's reports prepared for each district listed above.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a "Project" per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA guidelines because the action is approval of a resolution to authorize annual levy of assessments for LLMDs and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and not subject to CEQA.
APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES
Landscape and lighting districts ensure that the benefitting property owners assume most of the operational and maintenance costs for specific improvements with minimal use of the General Fund. State law requires the Council action to approve levies for these districts on an annual basis formally. Failure to conduct an annual levy process would put the financial burden of operating and maintaining district facilities solely on the General Fund. Therefore, the recommended action is the best and only option for the Council to consider.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the resolution, City Staff will file a copy of the Report and affected ATNs with the Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector before the August 9, 2024 deadline.

RECOMMENDATION
1. Find that the proposed declaration of land as surplus property is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub.
Resources Code, §§21000 et seq.) (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §15312), which applies to the declaration and sale of surplus government property; and adopt Resolution 2978, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter Declaring property located at 1) 5821, 5901, AND 5921 E. Lerdo Highway (APN 091-171-30, 091-171-31, 091-171-22), 2) E. Lerdo Highway & Golds Avenue (APN 089-140-73, 089-140-75, 089-230-67), and 3) E.

BACKGROUND
The City of Shafter (“City”) owns real property of 12.34 acres located at 5821, 5901, and 5921 E. Lerdo Highway in Shafter (“Subject Property 1”). This Subject Property 1 is zoned Business Park – Airport Approach Height and located across from Minter Field.

TULARE AVE & N. SHAFTER AVE, AS SURPLUS PROPERTY, APPROVAL OF A FORM OF NOTICE
OF AVAILABILITY, AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO
COMPLY WITH THE SURPLUS LAND ACT
- 2 -
Together, Subject Property 1, Subject Property 2, and Subject Property 3 are the “Subject Properties.”
In March of 2023, the City declared Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2as surplus land under the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (the “Act”) and authorized the process for leasing Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2, however, this item is being resubmitted to clearly authorize the City Manager to begin the process under the Act to make Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2 available for sale as well. The rest of the Subject Properties would be declared as surplus land for the first time so that the City could proceed toward disposal.
The Act requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of surplus land. New legislation which took effect on January 1, 2020, requires that before a local agency may dispose of land that is no longer necessary for its use, the land must be declared either "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land," as supported by written findings. Adoption of the Resolution would declare the Subject Properties as surplus land.
Upon the City's determination that the Subject Properties are surplus land, the procedures set forth in the Act must be followed prior to disposal. Those procedures require the City to offer the surplus land by issuing (via email wherever possible and by certified mail where not possible) by issuing a Notice of Availability, a form of which is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit D (the “Notice of Availability”), and accepting notices of interest for a period of 60 days.
If the City receives a letter of interest from any of the above entities, the City is required to enter into good faith negotiations concerning the price and terms of the sale or lease with that entity for a period of 90 days. If the price or terms cannot be agreed upon after 90 days (or if no entity gives notice of interest), the City may sell or lease the surplus land without further regard to the Act’s procedures, except that the City must obtain approval from the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that it complied with the Act, and the City must record a restrictive covenant on the Subject Properties, requiring that if ten or more residential units are ever built on the Subject Properties, at least 15% of those units must be affordable.
ANALYSIS
FISCAL IMPACT
No budget action required. There are minimal costs related to issuing a Notice of Availability via email.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE SURPLUS LAND ACT, GOVERNMENT CODE,
SECTION 54220 ET SEQ.; AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM CEQA
WHEREAS, the City of Shafter (the "City") owns that certain 12.34-acre property, located at 5821, 5901, 5921 E. Lerdo Highway, Shafter, CA 93263 (APNs 091-171-30, 091-171- 31, 091-171-22) zoned Business Park – Airport Approach Height, which is more particularly depicted at Exhibit A (the "Subject Property 1"); and
WHEREAS, the City owns that certain 10.60-acre property located at E. Lerdo Highway and Golds Avenue, Shafter, CA 93263 (APNs 089-140-73, 089-140-75, 089-230-67) zoned Business Park, which is more particularly depicted at Exhibit B (the "Subject Property 2"); and WHEREAS, the City owns that certain 9.57-acre property, located at E. Tulare Avenue and N. Shafter Avenue, Shafter, CA 93263 (APNs 028-010-12, 028-010-09) zoned Medium Density Residential, which is more particularly depicted at Exhibit C (the "Subject Property 3"); and
WHEREAS, together Subject Property 1, Subject Property 2, and Subject Property 3 are “the Properties”; and
WHEREAS, the Properties are not necessary for the City's use and none of the statutory exemptions set forth under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1) are applicable, and therefore the Properties and disposition thereof are subject to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (the "Act").
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHAFTER HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. The City Council finds and declares that the Properties are “surplus land” as used in the Act, because the Properties are owned in fee simple by the City, the Properties are not necessary for the City's use, as defined under the Act, Section 54221(c), and do not qualify as "exempt surplus land" under the Act, Section 54221(f)(1).
Section 3. The City Council approves the form of Notice of Availability, attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Notice"), and authorizes the City Manager or designee to comply with the requirements of the Act, to t a i l o r , f i n a l i z e , a n d issue the Notice to those statutorily entitled to receive it (Section 54222), and to negotiate in good faith with those entities, if any, who
17236.01000\42442015.1
Shafter City Council Resolution No. 2978
July 16, 2024
submit qualified Notices of Interest (Sections 54222.5 and 54223).
Section 4. The action authorized by this Resolution does not authorize or approve the actual disposition or sale of the Properties. Thus, this action does not commit the City to any future action, nor does this action approve a particular project, or grant any specific approval that would have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). (See 14 California Code of Regulations Sections15060(c); 15378(b).) As such, the mere declaration of surplus land and authorization to proceed under the Act do not constitute the approval of a "project" under CEQA, and no further action under CEQA is required. In addition, the action is exempt from environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15312, which applies to the declaration and sale of surplus government property.
Section 5. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.
Section 6. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.

To All Interested Parties:
RE: Notice of Availability/Offer to Sell Surplus Property As required by Government Code Section 54220 of the State of California, the City of Shafter is providing notification that the City intends to sell or lease the surplus property listed in the accompanying table.
In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date this offer was sent via certified mail or electronic mail to notify the City of your interest in acquiring the property. However, this offer shall not obligate the City to sell or lease the property to you.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024
FROM: Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michael James, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: AWARD NORTH SHAFTER STREET IMPROVEMENTS
ENGINEERING SERVICES (CIP PROJECT NO. ST00022) TO
DIVERSIFIED PROJECT SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(DPSI)
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the requested action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; accept three (3) proposals received for the North Shafter Street Improvements Engineering Services project; approve one (1) proposal submitted by Diversified Project Services International, Inc. (DPSI); authorize an award of a professional services agreement for said project to DPSI for an amount not to exceed $400,000; and authorize the City Manager to execute said agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND
Last year, the City was awarded two grants to advance engineering and construction for street improvements within the communities of North Park and North Shafter ("North Shafter"). One grant focuses on designing and constructing sidewalk and bicycle lane improvements along southbound Highway 43 valued at $1,000,000. The funding source is the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District Road Paving and Sidewalk Installations Program. The project was recommended by the Shafter AB 617 Steering Committee to address air quality improvement initiatives. The second grant will develop a master plan for modernizing the interior streets, specifically referred to as the "North Shafter Transportation Improvements and Sustainability Plan", valued at $205,000. The funding source is the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program. Both initiatives require engineering work that Public Works determined would be best provided by consultants, mostly to expedite the completion of the grantfunded projects.
At its February 6, 2024 meeting, the Council authorized the release of the North Shafter Street Improvements Engineering Services Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure one consultant for completing objectives for both grants. The RFP was later released and resulted in three proposals received. A ranking of the proposals based on scoring criteria established in the RFP is as follows:

Per State grant funding requirements, proposals are ranked based on qualifications, not on costs. However, a top-ranked firm is typically later asked to provide a cost proposal to ensure the project can be fully funded. In the case of this project, there was a virtual tie for the top-ranked proposals submitted by DPSI and Ruettgers & Schuler, so both were later asked to submit cost proposals.
The following is a summary of the cost proposals received from the top-ranked firms:

Improvements and
Sustainability Plan
$185,000 $164,804 $205,000
Totals $276,000 $374,795 $330,000
ANALYSIS
For each of the two RFP objectives, Ruettgers & Schuler is proposing the lowest cost. However, after further reviewing and discussing all aspects of the proposals, including qualifications, schedules, costs, and work plans, Public Works has determined that DPSI's proposal best meets the City's needs. Among the strengths of their proposal are the community engagement plan and a comprehensive outlook for completing the objectives with special studies, including topography, drainage, and soils.
DPSI's cost proposal for Objective #1, construction plans for sidewalk and bicycle lane improvements at Highway 43, exceeds what was planned with the AB 617 grant for engineering. However, that grant totals $1,000,000, which still allows almost $800,000 for construction if DPSI's proposal is awarded. Secondly, the AB 617 grant can likely be increased if DPSI's future design suggests construction is underfunded. DPSI's cost
AWARD NORTH SHAFTER STREET IMPROVEMENTS ENGINEERING SERVICES (CIP PROJECT NO. ST00022) TO DIVERSIFIED PROJECT SERVICES INTERNATIONAL, INC. (DPSI) - 3 -
proposal for Objective #2, developing the North Shafter Transportation Improvements and Sustainability Plan, is well within the grant and local funding programmed in the Capital Improvement Program for this fiscal year.
An appropriate budget to cover DPSI's cost proposal plus at least 5% in contingencies is $400,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
Capital Improvement Program Project No. ST00022 currently has $1,205,000 in grants and local funds programmed to complete both objectives. Awarding DPSI's design proposal would leave approximately $805,000 in funding to complete the construction approved for grant funding, which is the sidewalk and bicycle lane improvements at Highway 43. The design work to be completed will determine if the funds available will be sufficient to cover this construction. At this time, no budget action is required.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The recommended action is considered a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (Section 15262). The work to be awarded is focused on feasibility and planning studies that would lead to future actions to be approved at a later date.
APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES
The Council could direct staff to award a professional services agreement to Ruettgers & Schuler rather than DPSI. The primary benefit of this alternative action would be reducing project costs by nearly $100,000. However, in the case of this RFP, DPSI submitted a more comprehensive proposal, highlighted by a better understanding of community engagement and a more comprehensive approach to the project overall, which staff feel will result in a better project outcome for the City. Therefore, alternative action is not recommended.
NEXT STEPS
Public Works will award a professional services agreement to DPSI and schedule a project kick-off meeting. Project updates, particularly ones involving community engagement, will be brought before the Council at future meetings.

Scope of Work and Associated Work Plan
OBJECTIVE 1
DPSI understands that the scope of work for the first objective of the project will be to design plans and specifications for construction level documents. These will be used to construct a series of pedestrian and bicycle improvements primarily along the west side of Highway 43 between Mayer Lane and Tulare Avenue. To complete this project, we will survey the project area, locate the existing right of way and all utilities and/or other potential conflict items, coordinate with Caltrans to obtain encroachment permits, design required drainage improvements, coordinate with adjacent property owners, geotechnical analysis for pavement design and consistently coordinate with City staff throughout the design process.
The main concerns for this project include:
1. The Caltrans permit process and potential unanticipated design changes, or additional project requirements, that will be required to obtain the necessary encroachment permits.
2. Utility conflicts and how those conflicts are resolved. If relocations are required construction of the project could be significantly delayed. Therefore, it will be vital to start work as soon as it is feasible and determine any conflicts that may be present.
3. Project drainage and Caltrans specific requirements and how it will affect the areas with the existing system and those that are currently dirt shoulders.
4. Right of way constraints throughout the project and how that will impact the desired area for future landscaping. Several locations within the project area appear to have improved into the project area, which may require property owner discussions on specific improvements.
OBJECTIVE 2
The development of a local community plan that will outline, identify, and rank infrastructure deficiencies of the local streets within the North Shafter area. The plan will include recommendations for remediating these deficiencies that are based on engineering observations, engineering studies and have been presented and vetted with the local community. Upon completion and approval of the plan by City Staff, the plan and findings will be presented to the City Council.
The main concerns for this objective include:
1. The restrictive right of way with in the plan area, and how any project could impact how the residents currently utilize the area for parking.
2. Low community response during the community outreach process. Community input into a plan like this is extremely important and a lack of participation will diminish the plans results. Therefore, during this process we will be proactive in our approach to ensure as much involvement as possible.
Objective 1: Plans for Constructing Sidewalk and Bicycle Lane Improvements at Highway 43 Task 1: As-Built Research, Investigation and Review
• As-Built and Utility Research
DPSI will obtain public improvement and utility as-built information from the City and respective utility companies. This information will be carefully compiled into an existing utility base to anticipate potential underground conflicts with the proposed sidewalks, bicycle lanes and design around them.
NORTH SHAFTER STREET IMPROVEMENTS ENGINEERING SERVICES 4
Scope of Work and Associated Work Plan
(continued)
• Hydrology Study
DPSI will perform a hydrology study to determine how much potential surface water will accumulate due to the addition of the sidewalk and bicycle lanes. The results of the study will determine if there is a need for a sump to hold the water within the right of way. • Geotechnical Engineering Report
DPSI will contract with Soils Engineering, Inc. (SEI) to evaluate subsurface conditions and obtain soil samples for the geotechnical engineering report. SEI will provide roadway cores, analyze the subgrade materials, and produce an R-value. The R-value will be used to aide in the design process of the roadway section for tie-in purposes.
If it is determined that a sump will be needed to collect and store the water runoff from within the Caltrans right-of-way, then SEI will drill two to four shallow borings where the potential new sump will be located. Copies of the boring logs and a boring location map will be included in the report. Soil samples obtained from the borings will be tested in the laboratory to determine various engineering properties including grain size distribution, plasticity index, in-sit moisture and density, and maximum density at optimum moisture. The final numbers and types of tests to be performed will be determined based on the subsurface conditions encountered and geotechnical parameters required.
The field and laboratory data will be reviewed by a Registered Engineer and evaluated with respect to development of geotechnical criteria for the proposed project. The following items will be addressed:
• Subsurface conditions encountered
• Sump construction considerations
Task 2: Field Survey
• Topographic Survey
DPSI will perform a field survey to establish control and to be used as the basis for design work. The survey will be conducted within the existing right-of-way along southbound Highway 43 between Mayer Lane and Tulare Lane. Additional survey may be performed outside the right-of-way at driveway locations to allow for the proper grades to be designed for driveway tie-ins behind the sidewalk. The field work will include gathering survey points that have descriptions and elevations attached to them.
Among other points, the elevations at all storm drain inlets, surface evidence of any other utilities, and private improvements within the public right-of-way will be identified as part of the survey.
Task 3: Preliminary Engineering Design
• Preliminary Design Plans (30%)
Based upon the findings of the meetings, assessments, inspections, surveys, and the geotechnical report, DPSI will prepare the Preliminary Design for review and approval from the City. The preliminary design will include the following:
• Preliminary plan and profile sheets
• Existing utility information showing potential conflicts • Existing site topographic features
NORTH SHAFTER STREET IMPROVEMENTS ENGINEERING SERVICES 5
Scope of Work and Associated Work Plan
(continued)
• Preliminary Plan Review Meeting
The City will have the opportunity to review the Preliminary Design submittal and provide comments at a review meeting. DPSI will document the meeting in the form of meeting minutes and develop an action items list, if applicable. A site visit can also be scheduled after the meeting to better illustrate any field conditions that require discussion.
• Begin Coordinating With Caltrans
After getting The City’s approval of the design layout, DPSI will begin coordinating with Caltrans. We will get feedback from Caltrans on the layout of the plans at the 30% stage. Coordinating with Caltrans at the early stages is the best way to keep potential costs down and conflicts from arising later on. Since the sidewalks and bicycles lanes are in their right-of-way, an encroachment permit will be required and they may not like the layout of the design. If it better to catch that early on before a full plan set is completed. DPSI will ensure both the City and Caltrans are happy with the layout before proceeding to a more detailed design.
Task 4: Final Engineering Design
• 60% Design Plans & Estimate
Based upon comments received from the Preliminary Design review meeting, DPSI will prepare 60% drawings.
The first draft of the Engineer’s Estimate will be provided with bid items listed to follow the bid form. Quantity calculations and/or breakdowns for unit pricing and/or lump sum bids (depending upon the requirements for a given portion of the scope) will be provided. If the cost estimate shows the potential for coming in under the project budget, DPSI will make recommendations for possible alternatives in order to maximize the returns for the budgeted project. Conversely, if the budget estimate appears that it will exceed the project budget, DPSI will work with the City to revise or limit scope in any areas where a cost savings could be realized. • 60% Review Meeting
Upon completion of the 60% plans and documents, DPSI will prepare for and attend a meeting with City staff to review the progress plans. The meeting will be documented in the form of meeting minutes and an action items list will be developed, if applicable.
• 90% Design Plans, Specifications, and Estimates
DPSI will prepare the 90% submittal which will incorporate all the City’s comments from the review of the 60% plans and estimate and will include the first submittal of the technical specifications for the project. The frontend specifications are to be provided by the City, and DPSI will modify these specifications as needed to fit the scope of this project.
• 90% Review Meeting
Upon completion of the 90% plans and documents, DPSI will prepare for and attend a meeting with City staff to review the progress plans. The meeting will be documented in the form of meeting minutes and an action items list will be developed, if applicable.
• 100% Design Plans, Specifications, and Estimates
DPSI will prepare the 100% submittal which will incorporate all the City’s comments from the review of the 90% submittal and will be a complete set of construction plans, specifications and bidding documents. All plans and documents will be properly stamped and signed and will be delivered as a complete set of bidding documents to the City for construction bid advertising.

Scope of Work and Associated Work Plan
(continued)
• Caltrans Permitting
DPSI will either apply for the Caltrans encroachment permit on behalf of the City or provide the City all the necessary information for the City to submit to Caltrans, whichever the City prefers. DPSI has extensive experience with applying for Caltrans permits and knows the process well. We can help out in any way the City requests.
Task 5: Engineering Support for Bidding and Construction • Plan Interpretation and Bidding Assistance
DPSI will conduct, if required by the City, a pre-bid conference. Any engineering questions (RFIs) City receives during the bid process will be forwarded to DPSI to address. RFIs that require changes to the plans and specifications or other significant clarifications will be compiled into bid addenda for the City to publish. DPSI can assist with bid submission review and recommendations for award to the City. • Construction Support
During the construction phase of the project, DPSI will respond to all RFIs and Change Order requests, and make related recommendations to the City.
Task 6: Meetings and Reports
• Kick-Off Meeting
DPSI will schedule a kick-off meeting with City staff and the project manager to discuss the pertinent items and areas of concern prior to starting the project. Items to be discussed will include:
• Communication: A line of communication will be established for day-to-day communications, as well as for major design considerations and milestone submittals between DPSI and the City. • Project Schedule: The overall project schedule will be discussed in relation to the City’s requested timeline. After the kick-off meeting, DPSI will create the initial project schedule. This will be a living document and may be updated after each subsequent project meeting or as any modifications are required. Prior to formalizing any scheduled changes, DPSI will make sure to obtain agreement by all parties involved.
• Design Criteria: Any design criteria or concerns that the City staff may have specific to each area will be discussed.
• Project Recommendations: Prior to the kick-off meeting, DPSI will conduct an onsite assessment of the site. At the meeting, recommendations will be made to the City for the layout of the sidewalks and bicycle lanes.

Executive Summary
The City of Shafter desires to engage a professional consultant to provide engineering services for the following:
• Construction plans for sidewalk and bicycle lane improvements on Highway 43 • North Shafter Transportation Improvements and Sustainability Plan For these services Ruettgers & Schuler Civil Engineers (R&S CE) has assembled a team to provide the City of Shafter with the resources for the successful accomplishment of the two projects.
R&S CE was established in 1980 in Bakersfield California as a consulting civil engineering firm specializing in transportation and public works facilities design and construction, right-of-way engineering, acquisition and relocation, traffic impact and transportation studies, and railroad grade separation projects. The majority of projects undertaken by our firm involve working directly with public agencies including special districts, cities, counties and the State of California, through their public works or transportation offices.
As part of this SOQ, R&S CE proposes to team with the firm of Dewalt Corporation for survey services. Dewalt completed surveys and a Record of Survey for the North Park and North Shafter areas and along SR 43. The DeWalt Corporation Land Surveying Department supports public agencies, large utilities, and private companies by providing Professional Land Surveying services and solutions; Topographic and/or aerial surveying to support engineering of new construction; Construction staking of engineered improvements or facilitiess As-built documentation of site work, pipelines and facilities. Legal descriptions and exhibits for properties, licenses and easements. Interpretation and implementation of the California Subdivision Map Act.
As evidenced by project experience and quality of individuals, R&S CE has significant public works experience.
We have a blend of engineers and professionals who have worked in the private and public sector and therefore have an understanding of the needs of public agencies, and how to deliver successful projects.
The Principal Engineer for R&S CE will be Ian J. Parks, P.E., who will act as the authorized individual to negotiate and sign contracts. Kevin Harmon, PE, will act as Project Manager for both projects. Kevin has a long history working in Shafter, including working on the installation of sewer within the North Park and North Shafter areas, and is familiar with SR 43 and the improvements that are being considered.
R&S CE has a long history of accomplishing a broad spectrum of projects involving State and Federal procedures.
We have prepared plans and various project documents for both public agencies and private entities for
City of Shafter SOQ Page 2
improvements on State highways and for projects using State and Federal funding. R&S CE and Subconsultant are familiar with federal accounting requirements for these projects, and have broad experience with the forms contained in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
R&S CE along with the sub-consultant team has a diverse range of services which include the following areas:
• Preparation of engineering reports (Including Caltrans PSR & PR) • Preliminary design and cost studies
• Preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates, including contract documents • Field surveying and topographic mapping for project control and design • Utility investigations/design and relocation coordination • Roadway and drainage system design, including flexible/rigid pavement design • Traffic signal and lighting systems design
• Traffic analysis and planning studies (development impacts, design requirements) • Traffic management plans (Construction, special events) • Storm drain, sewer, and water system design
• Right of way investigation and mapping, including preparation of plats and legal descriptions • Right of way acquisition and relocation
• Construction bid and award assistance
• Project management/time scheduling
• Construction management
• Government agency coordination
• Grant and funding applications
• Railroad coordination
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)

Scope of Work & Associated Work Plan
Following is R&S CE’s understanding of each project and associated work items, including a detailed schedule.
Construction plans for sidewalk, curb & gutter and bicycle lane improvements on Highway 43 The project will include the preparation of plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E) for the construction of a bike lane, curb & gutter and sidewalk along SR 43. The limits of the project are between Mayer Lane and Tulare Avenue. Following are items which will need to be evaluated and designed in order to deliver a successful project:
• An evaluation of the grant and funding will be made in order to confirm work items and deliverables in order to meet all goals of the grant
• Initial layout and design to determine the geometrics necessary to accommodate the bike lane, sidewalk and future landscaping improvements
• The project is within Caltrans right-of-way. In consultation with the City, an initial meeting/submittal should be considered at the 30% design stage in order to confirm the proposed geometrics for the project and preliminary striping concept
• Determine drainage patterns and evaluate location of terminus of runoff • Existing drainage inlets will need to be evaluated to determine if they can be utilized in the project and if they will meet ADA standards
• Existing driveways along SR 43 will need to be defined and designed to work with existing infrastructure
• Investigate existing utilities along SR 43 and propose solutions for the interfering utilities (if any) • The mailboxes along SR 43 will need to be evaluated as to where they will be placed and confirm that ADA access and standards are met
• Striping for the bike lane will need to be evaluated through the intersections to the west • The intersection of SR 43 and Tulare will need to be evaluated as to the terminus of the curb & gutter around the return and property access for the residence at the corner • ADA standards adhered to along the pedestrian corridor North Shafter Transportation Improvements and Sustainability Plan The project will include the development of a master plan for the North Shafter area. The limits of the project are outlined in the RFP and generally include the areas as shown in the study provided by the City as an addendum to the RFP. The goals of the project are to prepare a general plan that will identify road improvement projects to address the needs of the residents. An important part of the process will be neighborhood input and being responsive to the needs of the residents. The goal is for the City Council to adopt the plan to implement improvements within the North Shafter area. Following are items which will need to be evaluated and designed in order to deliver a successful project:
• An evaluation of the grant and funding will be made in order to confirm work items and deliverables in order to meet all goals of the grant
City of Shafter SOQ Page 4
• A detailed work plan will be prepared for review and comment by the City in order to confirm that all items are being covered by the work plan
• It is understood that the City will provide topographic survey information within the project limits
• It is anticipated that a detailed site visit(s) will be necessary to confirm existing conditions and to make notes and detailed evaluation of the project limits • Initially our office would prepare the technical studies, alongside investigating potential layouts and options for roadway configuration
o These layouts and options would be prepared for use in public outreach • We would submit the studies and layouts/options to the City for review and approval • We would then prepare final documents to be presented at the public meeting for input from the residences. In addition to the layouts, surveys would be prepared for residences to fill out • Taking into account information from the public meeting, and in discussions with the City, we would begin work on the draft plan for the community
• Once the draft plan is complete and conceptually approved by the City, it is anticipated that a presentation to the City Council, summarizing the investigation and proposed plan would be made
• Upon any comments from council, and final review and comment by the City on the draft plan, we would create the final plan for adoption by the City Council

Retaining Wall
Project Dates: 2018-2020
Status: Completed
Contract: $50,000
R&S was retained by the City of Bakersfield to prepare street widening plans on College Avenue from Flintridge Drive to Fairfax Road. The project included the design of a retaining wall along the East Niles Community Services District (ENCSD) property. Multiple project alternatives were prepared to determine the most efficient, cost effective and permanent solution for both the City of Bakersfield and ENCSD.
Several design items were taken into consideration, including cost, height of the wall, wall type, slope, slope treatment, drainage and access to ENCSD property. Design alternatives were prepared and presented to both the City of Bakersfield and ENCSD for review and input.
It was determined, that in order to meet budget constraints and design parameters a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall was chosen. Costs for the MSE wall were significantly less than a block retaining wall or cast in place concrete.
In addition to the wall and street improvement design, R&S acquired street right of way from ENCSD and temporary construction easements from the properties east and west of ENCSD. R&S also assisted in obtaining an encroachment permit from ENCSD.

R&S CE prepared the PS&E for intersection and sidewalk improvement at 82 intersections at various locations in the County, including Buttonwillow, various areas in Bakersfield, Oildale, Lamont and Rosamond. Improvements included new curb & gutter with asphalt tie-in, ADA curb ramps, drive approaches and sidewalk along existing curb & gutter. The project also included new sign and striping for pedestrian crossings. Various locations required modified or new light standards to enhance safety.
Several locations in areas such as northeast Bakersfield where existing roadways had slopes which required creative solutions to maintain ADA standards and slopes.
In addition to design, R&S investigated existing utilities and reviewed for conflicts and modified design to avoid conflict, or called out for utility relocation as needed.
The construction budget for the project was approximately $5.5 million.

The UP Railroad cooridor through Tehachapi was not fenced, and the existing railroad crossings did not include consistent pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure. There were significant safety concerns for pedestrians crossing the tracks at uncontrolled locations. The City proposed a project to add security fencing along H Street to preclude crossing at locations other than controlled crossings, and upgrade the crossings to include bike and pedestrian facitlies, while upgrading the infrastructure to include medians, curb and gutter, sidewalk. The project also added trees along H Street to enhance the beauty of the cooridor. Railroad crossing signals were upgraded to include pedestrian indications. The project included significant coordination and work with the PUC and UPRR.
The project upgraded the following crossings:
1. Green Street
2. Hayes Street
3. Dennison Street
Fencing, curb & gutter and sidewalk were installed along H Street between Mill Street & its easterly terminus. Approximately 0.80 miles.

Public Meetings and Input
R&S CE has experience with public meetings and gathering information from residents for use in design implementation and for planning purposes. Following are some representative examples of R&S CE experience.
Railroad Grade Separation Projects
R&S CE has typically conducted at least one public meeting/presentation for each of the grade separation projects that we have been involved in. For the meetings, R&S CE has prepared the presentation, including exhibits, detailed information about the projects and survey sheets for the public to record their input. R&S CE gathered the input and utilized in the design and implementation as appropriate.
Bike Plan Projects
R&S CE has been involved in public meetings for bike plan adoption projects in the City of Bakersfield and the City of Wasco. R&S CE was involved in the creation of the survey, preparation of exhibits and defining project information. Public input was tabulated and utilized in the preparation of the bike plans for both projects.
Project Schedule Examples
Cross Gutter Removal Curry Street & Valley Boulevard, City of Tehachapi The City of Tehachapi obtained a CMAQ grant to remove existing cross gutters and to install drainage facilities at the intersection of Curry Street and Valley Boulevard. The City retained R&S CE (with P&P as sub consultant) under our On-Call contract to prepare PS&E for the project. The grant had a deadline for submitting substantially complete plans to be funded. The schedule was very limited due to timing of the selection of OnCall consultants. R&S CE was immediately awarded the project and was able to fast track the work and determine the best performing and most cost-effective improvements for the intersection, and prepared PS&E within the required time frame. The funding budget was limited, and R&S CE was creative in finding solutions to the problems, while staying under budget. R&S CE was able to delete storm drain pipe and two inlets due to creative gutter grades and understanding of the local conditions. R&S CE completed the work with no contract change orders.
Realignment of the Friant Kern Canal and the Extension of Olive Drive at Calloway Drive, Bakersfield, California
This project involved realignment of 1,200' of the Friant-Kern Canal along with the construction of a 400', 24'X17' double box culvert structure, and the reconstruction of sections of Calloway Drive, and the extension of Olive Drive to the west. The City of Bakersfield retained R&S CE, along with Dokken Engineering as a subconsultant, to prepare the plans and assist in permitting and approval with the Friant Water Users Authority (FWUA) and Bureau of Reclamation. The City of Bakersfield had an opportunity to construct the project while the canal was dewatered and would not be able to construct for another three years if the plans and permitting were not completed in time. R&S CE managed the project and was able to prepare plans and obtain permits and utility relocation within the window needed to construct. R&S performed the work under budget and on time, and the relocation was completed within the dewatering window.

Stallion Springs Community Services District (SSCSD), Kern County, California R&S CE has prepared road maintenance contracts for SSCSD since 1994, and has been responsible for performing pavement management services, project budget planning, preparation of PS&E and contract administration and inspections. SSCSD has a very limited seasonal period during which construction may be performed due to weather patterns at the higher elevations. R&S CE has historically prepared comprehensive schedules and budgets and planned the work to occur within the required window. R&S CE track record of successful projects is evidenced in our over 30 year association with the District.
Mohawk Street Construction, Bakersfield, California
The City of Bakersfield obtained a grant from the State for the construction of Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highway to Siena Lane. The City retained R&S CE and P&P as sub-consultant to design and manage the project from planning to construction. There were several complicated aspects to this project, including extensive utility relocation, including oil field facilities, and coordination with the current TRIP project on Rosedale Highway and permitting and approval with the North Kern Water Storage District. The deadline for the grant allowed less than one year for design and right of way clearance prior to construction. R&S CE and P&P were able to design the project and obtain a permit from Caltrans and North Kern WSD and manage the relocation of all utilities and oil field facilities in order to allow the construction to begin prior to the deadline set by the grant.
R&S CE stayed within budget and only had change orders for change in scope of work by outside influences.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
CITY OF SHAFTER
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024
FROM: Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Alex Gonzalez, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT: AWARD VETERANS PARK SOCCER FIELD LIGHTING PROJECT (#PK00012) TO INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, INC.,
DBA AGILITECH IN AN AMOUNT UP TO $800,000
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; authorize a reallocation of $100,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding from Capital Improvement Program Project #PF00002 to Project #PK00012; authorize a General Fund budget appropriation of $300,000 Captial Improvement Program Project #PK00012; ratify staff determinations that (1) Unwired Broadband LLC’s bid is rejected on the basis of non-responsiveness and (2) Innovative Engineering Systems, Inc., dba Agilitech (“Agilitech”) is the lowest responsive bidder for the project; authorize the Deputy Public Works Director to issue a Notice of Award and Notice to Proceed to Agilitech and make all necessary findings in connection therewith; and authorize the Public Works Director to award up to $800,000 in project expenditures.
BACKGROUND
The Council authorized staff to release the Veterans Park Soccer Field Lighting Project for bidding purposes this past May. The project will install sports lighting for two soccer fields on the North end of Veterans Park. Four (4) bids were received and publicly opened on June 14. The bid results are as follows:
BIDDER BID
AMOUNT
UNWIRED BROADBAND LLC $618,869.27
INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, INC., DBA AGILITECH $719,383.00 DL BROWN INC. $778,100.00
AUDEAMUS, DBA SEBASTION $779,485.04
ANALYSIS
AWARD VETERANS PARK SOCCER FIELD LIGHTING PROJECT (#PK00012) TO INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, INC., DBA AGILITECH IN AN AMOUNT UP TO $800,000 - 2 -
After reviewing bids, staff determined that the apparent low bidder, Unwired Broadband LLC, failed to complete or submit two required forms: the list of subcontractors form and the bidder information and experience form. Additionally, a form to report relevant work experience is incomplete. These issues left the bid deemed non-responsive and led to the bid submitted by Innovative Engineering Systems, Inc., DBA Agilitech, which was the confirmed lowest responsive.
Provided Agilitech is awarded this project, an appropriate budget covering materials testing services is $800,000, which leaves approximately $80,000 in additional funding capacity. The forecasted breakdown for additional funds is $10,000 for construction materials testing services and $70,000 for general construction contingencies (approximately 10% of the base bid).
FISCAL IMPACT
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) #PK00012 currently has $400,000 in American Rescuse Plan Act (ARPA) funds allocated to it. Action by the Council is required to fund a project budget of $800,000. A reallocation of $100,000 in ARPA funding currently allocated to the Aquatic Center #PF00002, along with a General Fund appropriation of $300,000, is one option for budget action that would close the funding gap.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The project is exempt from CEQA per Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines because it consists of the construction of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures that are accessory to an existing use.
APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES
An alternative to the requested action is to reject all bids and release the project for a new round of formal bidding. While this could result in a lower responsive bid amount, the City is facing a looming deadline to complete the project and expend the ARPA funds by the end of 2024. A new round of bidding would likely prevent the City from meeting this deadline. Therefore, alternative action is not recommended.
NEXT STEPS
Upon Council authorization, staff will issue a Notice of Award with a construction contract to Agilitech. It’s anticipated that construction will take place this fall.
