CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works/Engineering Department – Dan Goldberg, Acting Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Amending the Professional Services Agreement with Symons Fire Protection, Inc., for Fire-Rated Door System Upgrades for Fiscal Year 2024/25
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department oversees the maintenance, repair, and certification of fire suppression systems at City facilities, including City Hall, La Colonia Community Center, Fletcher Cove Community Center, and the Fire Station. These essential services are delivered by service providers selected through a competitive selection process. The current contract with Symons Fire Protection, Inc. (Symons), the City's service provider, will remain in effect until June 2027 if discretionary extensions are approved.
This item is before the City Council for consideration of Resolution 2025-008 (Attachment 1) to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Symons, the City’s current service provider, for the fire-rated door system upgrades at City Hall, in the amount of $7,620, with a recommended contingency of $1,000.
DISCUSSION:
At the regular City Council meeting on May 24, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution 2022-047, authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Symons Fire Protection, Inc. for the maintenance and testing of fire suppression equipment, as well as as-needed repair services at various City facilities.
As part of the citywide annual fire inspection, it was determined that upgrades to the fire-rated door system are necessary to meet current fire and building code requirements. These upgrades are critical to ensuring the facility’s safety and compliance. A summary of the required upgrades is provided below.
February 26, 2025
PSA Amendment with Symons Fire Protection
• Installation of 431 output module
• Installation of new power supply
• Installation of magnetic door holders for enhanced safety • Programming updates to the fire alarm panel for improved functionality On February 17, 2022, Staff posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) on eBidboard (now known as BidNet Direct) for fire protection equipment services, but no proposals were submitted. Due to a lack of response to the City’s official RFP posting, City Staff contacted various contractors regarding the RFP opportunity. As part of this outreach effort after the formal RFP process, the City received one proposal from Symons Fire Protection, Inc. Per Section 20166 of the California Public Contract Code, if no bids are received in response to an advertisement for construction bids, the City may proceed with the project without further complying with that section of the California Public Contract Code. This method used also complies with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance.
Staff asked Symons to prepare and submit a proposal for this work and City Staff determined that the submitted proposal meets the City’s specifications and requirements. Symons, having provided fire suppression services to the City since 2022, has consistently delivered high-quality work to the satisfaction of City staff. As part of their proposal, Symons stated that all tests and inspections will comply with the most current standards outlined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
The previously executed contract and scope of services is included as Attachment 2 to this Staff Report.
The total cost for the required fire-rated door system upgrade is $7,620, with a recommended contingency of $1,000, for an amount total not to exceed $8,620. City Staff and the contractors will coordinate closely to minimize disruptions to both City Staff and the public throughout the project.
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
All work covered by this agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This item is to authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Symons Fire Protection, Inc., for the fire-rated door system upgrade at City Hall, in the amount of $7,620, with a recommended contingency amount of $1,000, for an amount total not to exceed $8,620.
February 26, 2025
PSA Amendment with Symons Fire Protection
Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $8,620 to be transferred from the General Fund Reserve for Public Facilities, account 100-33060 to Public Facilities – Processional Services, account 1006570.65300.
The current PSA with Symons is for a total not to exceed amount of $16,500 per fiscal year. A prior amendment raised the compensation amount for FY 2024/25 by $5,000, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $21,500 for FY 2024/25 only.
This new amendment will add an additional $8,620 to the PSA with Symons, establishing a new amount not to exceed $30,120 for FY 2024/25 only. For each subsequent year the not-to-exceed amount will remain at $16,500.
WORK PLAN:
This item is not mentioned in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Work Plan.
OPTIONS:
• Adopt Staff recommendations.
• Reject Staff recommendation and provide direction.
CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2025-008:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the PSA with Symons Fire Protection, Inc., to include fire-rated door system upgrades at City Hall during Fiscal Year 2024/25, which would increase the Agreement by $8,620 for a total amount not to exceed $30,120 for Fiscal Year 2024/25 only.
2. Authorizing a transfer of $8,620 from General Fund Reserve for Public Facilities, account 100-33060 to Public Facilities – Professional Services, account 1006570.65300.
3. Authorizing the City Treasurer to amend the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget accordingly.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 26, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works/Engineering Department – Dan Goldberg, Acting Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Glencrest Drive Sidewalk Improvements Update – Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Dell Street
BACKGROUND:
The construction of sidewalks along both sides of Glencrest Drive from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Dell Street (Project) is a high priority project as identified in the City’s Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategies (CATS), as well as the City’s Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Staff previously provided an update to the City Council on May 22, 2024, to get further feedback from Council on the design prior to further direct engagement with the property owners and hosting a public meeting on the designs.
This item is before the City Council to provide an update on the community outreach and feedback that has occurred, and to present the preliminary design for any final comments on items such as parking areas, placement of sidewalks, curb extensions for driveways and mailbox locations prior to initiating work on the engineering design package for construction bid and contracting. As part of this update, the City Council will be asked to consider approving the design layout plans for the Glencrest Sidewalk Improvement Project and authorizing the City Engineer to advertise the project for construction bids.
DISCUSSION:
In June 2015, the City completed the Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategies (CATS) and in February 2023, the City completed the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Study. Both of these documents focused on active transportation opportunities within the community. One of the primary routes that connects the northwestern neighborhoods to nearby schools runs along Glencrest Drive and received support from the Council as an item in Work Plan. Staff is presently applying for project funding through the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Smart Growth Incentive Program grant program.
This project was previously considered for outsourcing the design and engineering.
February 26, 2025
Glencrest Sidewalk Project – Update and Authorize Construction Bids Update on Glencrest Sidewalk Project
However, recent Staffing changes have allowed the design to be performed in-house by City Engineering Staff.
The proposed SRTS project has been designed to provide a dedicated pedestrian walkway on both sides of the street, while maintaining as much on street parking as possible. The preliminary design includes the construction of a concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides of Glencrest Drive, from Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Dell Street.
There are 20 homes located along both sides of this segment of the street. Improvements to private driveways have been included to provide transitions with the sidewalk to account for changes in slope. All work required for driveway transitions will occur within the existing public right of way. On-street parking will remain substantially the same with approximately 30 parking spaces for continued residential use.
The City held a workshop at Skyline Elementary School on September 19, 2024, where Staff presented a conceptual plan to those in attendance that showed the location of parking areas, driveways and sidewalks. Along with the Mayor, Staff answered questions about the proposed project. The preliminary design plan (Attachment 1) was presented and on display at the workshop.
At the Workshop, sign-up sheets were provided so residents could schedule meetings with Staff at their residence to discuss the specific improvements proposed along their street frontage. Approximately six residents contacted Staff and were individually met with at their properties to go over the proposed design. Feedback from residents was generally positive and informed refinements to the design at the individual properties.
While there were no objections shared with the City on the proposed project, residents shared that they do not want private landscaping and other private improvements impacted by this project. As a result, the project has been designed to minimize the impacts to private landscaping and other private improvements in the public right of way to the extent possible without sacrificing sight visibility and other safety concerns related to pedestrian use of the proposed sidewalks.
Since the workshop, Staff has also met with the Solana Beach Post Office to discuss their criteria for the location of mailboxes. Post Office representatives emphasized that implementing the street improvements cannot make the mail delivery less efficient or less safe. Additionally, depending on the design, the U.S. Post Office may choose to cluster mailboxes to improve and streamline delivery service. Staff has revised the prior designs to ensure the postal workers can continue to drive up to the mailboxes for mail delivery.
The road width at the mailbox locations has also been designed to be similar, allowing the mail trucks to move over in the right-of-way (to the right) to also minimize impacts to circulation. Staff is continuing to work with the Post Office on mailbox locations and will share any changes with regard to clustering if that is determined by the Post Office to be necessary.
February 26, 2025
Glencrest Sidewalk Project – Update and Authorize Construction Bids Update on Glencrest Sidewalk Project
The designs before the Council today include all of the above feedback, as well as input from previous community and council engagement. With the final comments received at this hearing, Staff will move forward with the next steps, which are as follows:
• Complete the final Plans Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) package • Advertise for construction bids
• Award of a construction contract by the City Council
• Start construction
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The construction cost for this project will be prepared when the final design is prepared.
The preliminary construction cost is estimated between $300,000 to $400,000 depending on many factors such as timing of the construction, number, and nature of driveway improvements to be removed and reconstructed. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 CIP budget allocated $75,000 for project design, which has not been used as part of the design phase due to use of in-house engineering staff.
WORK PLAN:
The project is included in the 2024/25 Work Plan under Community Character Priorities, Item B.17.
OPTIONS:
• Receive report.
• Adopt Resolution authorizing Staff to advertise the project for construction bids. • Provide direction to Staff.
CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive this report, provide direction to Staff and adopt Resolution 2025-017:
1. Approving the design layout plans for the Glencrest Sidewalk Improvement Project.
2. Authorizing the City Engineer to advertise the Glencrest Sidewalk Improvement Project for construction bids.

SUBJECT: LOSSAN Rail Realignment Update and Action
BACKGROUND:
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has initiated the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the San Diego-Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo Rail Realignment (SDLRR) Project (PROJECT). Since the June 18, 2024 Scoping Meeting for the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the Project, SANDAG initiated a Value Analysis (VA) process to technically evaluate and improve upon the alignment alternatives and/or potentially identify new alternatives for further consideration. On February 12, 2025 SANDAG presented the Final VA Study Report and the five options that will be presented to SANDAG Board of Directors for consideration to advance to environmental review.
SANDAG subsequently conducted office hours at Solana Beach City Hall on February 13, 2025 between 3pm and 6pm, where SANDAG Staff answered community questions and concerns regarding the VA Study Report and the five options.
This item is for any additional updates to be presented by the City Manager and staff to the City Council and public since SANDAG’s presentation and office hours earlier in the month, and to consider any actions for the City Manager to bring forward to the SANDAG Board of Directors meeting on February 28 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The LOSSAN rail corridor is crucial for the regional economy, serving commuters, freight transport, and connecting key ports and military bases. Given the current challenges with the rail alignment through the City of Del Mar, expanding and ensuring reliable future rail services is essential. Additionally, exploring alternatives to the existing rail alignment is necessary to address potential negative impacts.
The Parties involved have raised specific concerns about the project Notice of Preparation. Since the close of the NOP for the project on July 19, 2024, the Primary February 26, 2025
