Project Narrative
The City of Signal Hill is located in Los Angeles County, California, surrounded by the City of Long Beach. It covers an area of 2.2 square miles and has a diverse population of 11,848 people. Signal Hill is home to several areas of lowincome and disadvantaged communities that currently have limited access to outdoor recreation, open spaces, shade equity, and green spaces with canopy cover.

Low-income neighborhoods often face inequity in urban forest cover, making them ideal candidates for new tree planting. A lack of green spaces with trees and aesthetically pleasing, natural environments is linked to decreased physical, emotional, and mental health, as well as increased symptoms of anxiety and depression. The City’s goal with this project is to plant, and provide establishment maintenance for over 594 new street trees within the city’s urban landscape in disadvantaged communities, aligning with federal and state goals for healthier, greener communities.

The City of Signal Hill utilized EJScreen and identified Block groups 060375734022, 060375734023, and 060375734024 to be environmentally, socially, and economically disadvantaged (Map 1). According to EJScreen Supplemental indexes, Block group 060375734022 has drinking water noncompliance index of 94% percentile, a diesel particulate matter index of 91% percentile, and a hazardous waste proximity index of 93% percentile (Table 1).

According to EJScreen Supplemental indexes, Block group 060375734023 has drinking water non-compliance index of 89% percentile, a hazardous waste proximity index of 87% percentile, and particulate matter 2.5 index of 87% percentile (Table 2). According to EJScreen Supplemental indexes, Block group 060375734024 has drinking water non-compliance index of 92% percentile, a hazardous waste proximity index of 90% percentile, and traffic proximity index of 87% percentile (Table 3).

Signal Hill is committed to promoting improved air quality, aesthetics, and walkability of these neighborhoods by planting trees. This strategy aims to increase the urban forestry coverage, enhance shade equity, and reduce urban heat island effects in densely populated areas where temperatures can be 20 to 45 degrees warmer compared to those with shade areas. This initiative provides long-term solutions to foster healthy ecosystems and communities in an era of unprecedented change. Implementation of this project will occur 100% in these disadvantaged communities.

Project Narrative
In alliance with the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service 10-year action plan, the goal of this project is to improve overall air quality through tree planting programs. The project focuses on mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems, benefiting communities most impacted by environmental hazards, such as pollution and mental health challenges.

Map 1: Blockgroups for Project
Table 1: Supplemental Indexes for Blockgroup 060375734022 Project Narrative
Table 2: Supplemental Indexes for Blockgroup 060375734023 Project Narrative
Table 3: Supplemental Indexes for Blockgroup 060375734024 On February 28, 2023, the City Council of the City of Signal Hill, adopted the 2023 Street Tree Master Plan. Key components of the plan include:
● An update of the City’s tree inventory of the existing vacant tree well sites.
● Significant contributions from residents towards the conception and development of the Master Plan. During the development of the Street Tree Master Plan community outreach at City events was conducted and online surveys were provided to engage residents in providing feedback regarding tree species preference.
● An updated street tree palette and comprehensive procedures for selecting street tree types at each location.
● Guidelines for planting and water new trees.
● Updated planting and maintenance guidelines that include updated required tree spacing to existing utilities within the City right-of-way.

The City’s Street Tree Master Plan provides a framework for the long-term health and prosperity of the City’s street tree canopy by ensuring that the right trees are planted in the right places. The Street Tree Master Plan addresses both the planting and maintenance of trees and a tree maintenance program. Section 3.2 entitled Maintaining the Tree provides Project Narrative
practical information on street tree maintenance, especially irrigation, as well as common problems and solutions. Section 4.4 entitled Tree Maintenance Program describes the best maintenance strategies for pruning based on tree species. It also addresses how to implement a protocol for pest monitoring, as well as following local regulations for pruning. City residents and the public are able to view the final adopted plan on the City’s website using the following link:
https://www.cityofsignalhill.org/DocumentCenter/View/15915/2023-Signal-HillStreet-Tree-Master-Plan.

The City will create a dedicated page on the City’s website for this project to provide the most current information such as maps, project schedule, City point of contact for residents to reach, and information on how to maintain the trees.

The tree planting project is the next natural step to enhancing these communities through increased urban forest canopy coverage in a largely industrial landscape. Trees will promote community engagement by involving residents in the care and maintenance of the planted trees through a cohesive and sustainable management plan.

When the project is advertised for installation, the City will provide a community announcement during one of its City Council meetings and at a Sustainable City Committee meeting to let residents know about this project.

A map will be included to show the street segments of where trees will be planted. The City will post this announcement in both English and Spanish on the City website and social media accounts and provide a point of contact for resident feedback, comments and questions. After the City Council awards this project, the City will continue to notify residents of a tentative timeline of installation and include a map with the street segments and the tree species selected in both English and Spanish.

Prior to the commencement of the tree planting phase, residents will be provided an installation letter two weeks in advance in both English and Spanish. This notice will include a map of planting locations, information regarding the tee species, their growth, and maintenance. City plans to include a QR code on each notice, which once residents scan, will be able to input their address and learn about the trees being planted on their street Project Narrative
and in their neighborhood. In addition, the City will set up poster boards at the City Public Library and Community Center, which will display similar information as mentioned above, to notify residents of this project.

Throughout the planting phase the City will continue to be open to any resident feedback and comments they may have.

After the planting phase the City's contractor will provide watering for a term of 3 years and 3 months. After this agreement ends, residents will continue to water the trees adjacent to their property, as stipulated in the City's code.

According to section 12.05.030 of the Signal Hill Municipal Code, property owners and residents are responsible for ensuring that street trees located adjacent to their property receive the proper amount of water to maintain tree health. The City will continue to be committed to bidirectional engagement with the residents to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge to maintain any trees that the city has planted with this project that are in the City right-of-way in front of their residence. These new trees will be added to the City’s Street Tree Inventory and included in the regular tree trimming schedule. This initiative aims to involve residents and foster a community partnership to prolong the life expectancy of each tree.

The City aims to plant, establish, and maintain 594 new street trees with its urban landscape, aligning with federal and state goals for healthier, greener communities. The objective is to increase the street tree stocking level from its current 74 percent (as of 2022) to 100 percent. All 594 trees will be planted within the boundaries of the three disadvantaged communities identified in EJScreen block groups 060375734022, 060375734023, and 060375734024.

Additional project goals include reducing future maintenance costs, minimizing infrastructure conflicts, and decreasing public complaints by selecting appropriate tree species based on mature heights and rooting characteristics. The plan involves planning, coordinating, planting, and watering, overseen by a contracted consultant. Additionally, the project seeks to increase the resilience of the street tree population by enhancing species diversity and planting more drought tolerant, climate ready tree species.

Trees planted will be chosen from a tree list found within the master plan. In concert with an ISA certified arborist, the City of Signal Hill will only plant trees that are climate adaptable and local species. No invasive species will be planted.

Project Narrative
Strategy, Methodology and Implementation
To implement and manage this project, the City will hire and supervise a consultant to manage grant implementation, draft bid documents, monitor and manage the progress of other contractors providing grant deliverables, and handle grant reporting. The consultant shall have an arborist on staff who is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and a Registered Consulting Arborist who has experience with tree planting projects. The timeline of this consultant’s work runs from shortly after the grant award until the end of the three-year grant period.

Planning
In the planning stage, the City will utilize a consultant to assess all 594 vacant planting sites to see if expansion of each site (concrete removal) is needed, possible, or desirable, and to determine the appropriate tree species for the site using the selection methodology outlined in the City’s Street Tree Master Plan, and to determine the size of tree to install (#15 container or 24” box).

During this stage, the consultant will develop bid-ready contract documents and specifications for the site preparation for installation, planting, and maintenance stages of the project. The consultant will then visit local tree nurseries and reserve trees for the project. This part of the project is expected to begin at time of grant award and conclude within six months.

Tree Planting
Following these assessments, the City will utilize a contractor procured through a competitive bidding process to remove concrete and prepare tree wells in locations where the need has been identified in the planning stage, if any. In addition, the contract will include the planting of 594 trees in the vacant street tree locations. The contractor will plant trees according to the planting specifications in the Street Tree Master Plan and the bid documents developed in the planning stage.

Tree Establishment Maintenance
The City will utilize a contractor to perform establishment maintenance on the newly planted trees. Establishment watering shall begin on the day each tree is planted, and the watering schedule shall follow the schedule outlined in the Street Tree Master Plan. The watering schedule shall be implemented until the end of the 3-year grant period. Contract provisions will include Project Narrative
replacement of trees that fail to establish. Other establishment tasks shall include annual mulching and weeding, staking as needed, stake removal at the end of establishment, and two structural pruning of each tree (as needed).

Project Partners:

The City of Signal Hill will be the sole responsible agency for completion of the project; however, agencies such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Conservation Corps of Long Beach support this project. Upon receiving the grant award, the City will create and distribute a press release with the news, including the source of funding. Information about the grant award will be posted on the City’s website and on its social media accounts. The City will post permanent signs (indicating funding source) on the five blocks receiving the most street trees from this grant.

EXHIBIT F

WHISTLEBLOWER NOTICE
Whistleblowers perform an important service to USDA and the public when they come forward with what they reasonably believe to be evidence of wrongdoing. They should never be subject to reprisal for doing so. Federal law protects federal employees as well as personal services contractors and employees of federal contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees against reprisal for whistleblowing. USDA bears the responsibility to ensure that nothing in a non-disclosure agreement which a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee requires their employees to sign should be interpreted as limiting their ability to provide information to the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
41 USC section 4712 requires the head of each executive agency to ensure that its contractors inform their workers in writing of the rights and remedies under the statute. Accordingly, it is illegal for a personal services contractor or an employee of a federal contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against for making a protected whistleblower disclosure. In this context, these categories of individuals are whistleblowers who disclose information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of one of the following:
○ Gross mismanagement of a federal contract or grant;
○ A gross waste of federal funds;
○ An abuse of authority relating to a federal contract or grant; ○ A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; or ○ A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a federal contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant.

To be protected under 41 USC section 4712, the disclosure must be made to one of the following:
○ A Member of Congress, or a representative of a committee of Congress;
○ The OIG;

○ The Government Accountability Office (GAO);
○ A Federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at USDA;
○ An otherwise authorized official at USDA or other law enforcement agency;
○ A court or grand jury; or
○ A management official or other employee of the contractor, subcontractor, or grantee who has the responsibility to investigate, discover, or address misconduct.

Under 41 USC section4712, personal services contractors as well as employees of contractors, subcontractors, grantees, or subgrantees may file a complaint with OIG, who will investigate the matter unless they determine that the complaint is frivolous, fails to allege a violation of the prohibition against whistleblower reprisal, or has been addressed in another proceeding.

OIG’s investigation is then presented to the head of executive agency who evaluates the facts of the investigation and can order the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to take remedial action, such as reinstatement or back pay.

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 3.903, Whistleblower Protections for Contractor Employees, Policy, prohibits government contractors from retaliating against a contract worker for making a protected disclosure related to the contract. FAR Subpart 3.909-1 prohibits the Government from using funds for a contract with an entity that requires its employees or subcontractors to sign internal confidentiality statements prohibiting or restricting disclosures of fraud, waste, or abuse to designated persons. This prohibition does not contravene agreements pertaining to classified information. The regulation also requires contracting officers to insert FAR clause 52.203-17, Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR Subpart 3.908. This clause requires notification to contractor employees that they are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies referenced in 41 USC section 4712.
