SAFNA Experience
t"irm Expermncc
IW'!iljA
SAFNA has worked with several private and public agencies in completing projects. Below are some of SAFNA's notable projects.

Carlsbad Ocean Water Desalination Project
SAFNA was part of the design-build team for the
Carlsbad desalination project. The Carlsbad
Desalination plant provides 50 MGD of water to
approximately 300,000 residents in San Diego.

One of the most critical processes and
components of the plant was the selection and
design of a pre-treatment process. SAFNA was
part of the design-build team responsible for
designing innovative pre-treatment filtration
vessels (patent-pending) that extends the life of
the plant's Reverse Osmosis equipment and meets
NSF 61 requirements. Running high corrosive
seawater through treatment equipment at 250 psi
of pressure posed water quality and structural integrity challenges. The experienced SAFNA team selected natural polypropylene as the internal strudural cage. A total of 17 multi cartridge filter vessels were designed and manufactured at the SAFNA facilities in San Dimas, CA. The vessels were made of carbon steel, lined with Endura-flex offering several benefits to the project including cost savings, reduced maintenance, and equipment longevity. Among the key design services provided by SAFNA's engineers includes:
* Design of Pressure Vessel Using ASME CODE, Section Vlll, Division 1 * ASME Design and Code Verification Software
Utilized SolidWorks to Create 3D Model
Stress Analysis
* Prepared all Seismic Calculations
* Developed Torque and Setting Specifications
* Generated Operations Manual
* Hydrostatic Tesfing

* SolidWorks modelling and simulation to determine internal material deflection and wear based on variable flow rates and water pressure
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California F.E. Weymouth Filtration Plant
The Metropolitan Water District completed the
F.E. Weymouth Treatment Plant in 1940. It serves
the county residents of Los Angeles and Orange.

To enhanced its output and lower chlorine levels
the amounts of chlorine, a plant retrofit was
planned to disinfect primarily with ozone.

Construction is underway for an ozone water
treatment process, which when completed in
2017, will make Weymouth the final Metropolitan
treatment plant retrofitted for ozone disinfection.

Compared to chlorine, ozone destroys a wider
range of micro-organisms, produces fewer
byproducts and removes unpleasant tastes and
odors more effectively. When using ozone, bromate is produced as a byproduct and requires additional treatment to manage it.

SAFNA designed three very specific and customized 10,600-gallon sulfuraic acid storage tanks, made with carbon steel (CS), to address this issue. The in-house design and production of the project tanks included:
* Engineered to API Standard
* Used API Modeling Software to Confirm Design Conformity * Prepared all Seismic Calculations for Tank Anchors * Hydrostatic Testing
* Prepared All Manufacturing Drawings and Weld Maps using AutoCAD * DesignandFabricatedTanksattheSAFNASanDimas,CAFacility livine Ranch Water District - Michelson Water Recycling Plant - Bio-solids and Energy Recovery Facilities
The Michelson Water Reclamation Plant treats thousands of gallons of wastewater to produce reclaimed water for irrigation applications. The wastewater treatment process also produces a nutrient rich by-product referred to as biosolids. This new facility will utilize a biological and heat process to convert the biosolids into to fertilizers, and utilize the resulting biogas as a fuel to generate electricity.

City Manager:

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH FIESTA TAXI COOPERATIVE, INC., FOR DELIVERY

SERVICES RELATED TO THE FOOD INSECURITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PURPOSE: To consider approving a Professional Services Agreement between the City of South Gate and Fiesta Taxi Cooperative, Inc., doing business as Fiesta Taxi/Ride Yellow ("Fiesta Taxi"), for delivery related services for the implementation of the Food Insecurity Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Fiesta Taxi to provide food delivery services in an amount not to exceed $88,000 for services rendered in FY 2021/22 (November through June) and FY2022/23 (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023); and b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Professional Services Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: The $88,000 funding for food delivery service for the Food Insecurity Program was included in the FY22-23 Adopted Budget using the City's allocation of American Rescrie Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA") funds. There is no impact to the General Fund.

ANALYSIS: Inthesemi-postpandemic,manyhouseholdscontinuetostrugglewithfoodinsecurity.

The 120 families currently participating in the program meet the Low Moderate Income (LMI) household threshold established by HUD.

By the authority of the City Council, the Food Insecurity Program continues as follows:
* Community Development staff sends the grocery list to Northgate Market #19 ("Northgate") the week prior to delivery.
* Northgate prepares 30 household food packages daily on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
* Under their existing contract, Fiesta Taxi picks up the food packages and delivers directly to the participating household.
* Households will continue to receive monthly groceries through the end of the Fiscal Year 2022/2023.
1 211
The average monthly cost to implement the program is $16,400 ($12,000 for groceries and $4,400 for deliyery). In additiorx, once annually, the City purchases approximately $15,000 in turkeys and vouchers for the Thanksgiving distribution.

Turkeys and vouchers from Northgate for Thanksgiving 2021 and 2022 Total
The total costs for the Food Insecurity Program to continue through FY 2022-23 is $358,000.

The purpose of this Agreement is to compensate Fiesta Taxi for their delivery service costs from November 2021 through June 2023 under the Food Insecurity Program. The total cost for the delivery services is $88,000. All funds used for the program come from the ARPA monies the City of South Gate received.

BACKGROUND: With the use of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant fiinds, the Community Development Department implemented a food insecurity assistance program whereby 120 low-income households receive basic groceries on a bi-weekly basis.

To best accommodate the current need and extend the program through the 2022-2023 fiscal year, staff recommended reducing the proposed program to monthly deliveries. On March 8, 2022, City Council authorized the use of ARPA funds to support the program from November 2021 through June 2023.

The City Council action at that meeting included an allocation of funds for Northgate Markets, LLC, and outlined the funding needed for the entire program as noted above; however, funds were not specifically appropriated for Fiesta Taxi. To date, Fiesta Taxi continues to deliver goods to participants registered in the Program. Approval of staff's recommendation will subsequently authorize the payment of those services retroactively from November 2021 through June 2023.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA BJ[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: October 11, 2022
Originating Department:

DepartmentDirector: AM citywanager:

Darren Arakawa
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., FOR

CROSSING GUARD SERVICES
PURPOSE: To enter into an agreement with All City Management Services, Inc., for Crossing Guard Services to continue to provide for the safety of students, parents, and staff as they walk to and from school, and to ensure that designated intersections are controlled and monitored during peak periods of pedestrian presence.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an Agreement with All City Management Services, Inc. ("ACMS"), for crossing guard services for a one (1) year term effective July 2, 2022 - June 30, 2023; and b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: ACMS has increased rates commensurate with cost of living, rising operational costs, and recent challenges related to COVID-19. The rate increases include an hourly rate of $23.30 in fiscal year 2021-2022 to $25.19 per hour in fiscal year 2022-2023. The increased cost also includes the addition of two crossing guards for Willow Elementary at an annual cost of $27,205. Funds in the atnount of $516,894 were budgeted from the Traffic Safety Fund for crossing guard services during the FY2022- 2023 budget process.

BACKGROUND: Since August of 1994, the City has contracted with All City Management Services, Inc., to provide crossing guard services throughout the City. The decision to contract this operation was based on cost savings and increased operational services. The responsibility of adequately staffing school crossing locations, if a crossing guard was unable to fill his/her shift, was that of the Police Department and a sworn police officer would often be pulled off the streets to provide coverage. Use of this third party transfers the staffing responsibility and, as such, the department has been very satisfied with the services provided by ACMS.

Although the South Gate Police Department has been satisfied with the service provided by ACMS, the opportunity to evaluate similar services and pricing from another contractor was recently explored. Staff conducted research and found that ACMS is essentially the only vendor in the area that can provide services on the scale required by the City of South Gate. ACMS has provided the City with outstanding service for over 20 years, as well as, being immensely responsive to the City's needs and requests.

Dear Aaron Krisman,
It is once again the time of the year when many agencies are formulating their budgets for the coming fiscal year. Toward that end, please allow this letter to serve as confirmation of our interest in extending our agreement for providing School Crossing Guard Services through the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

As you may know hiring challenges have impacted all sectors of the labor market, across the nation.

Our workforce has been decimated, the number of sites that remained urrstaffed in spite of our doubling down on ads, incentives and recruitment efforts has been frightening to say the least.

In our industiy our workforce has historically maintained an average age of approximately 64 years old. Since COVID and as a direct result of the lives lost, the risk inherent with this age group and the fears still prevalent we've lost a significant poition of our workforce. The net effect has been a younger workforce that expects and demands wage rates higher than minimum wage. When we factor in a higher cost of living, the rising costs of gas with most Crossing Guards required to go back and forth to work 2, 3 or 4 times a day, the demand for higher wages is predictable.

Our plan as we enter the coming school year is to offer more competitive wages. This will mean significantly higher billing rates for most programs throughout the nation. To facilitate the calculation of the annual program cost we have developed and inctuded with this letter a Client Worksheet. This Worksheet is our best estimation of the hours and cost of yorir program based on the current schedules and the proposed price increase.

While we remain committed to providing a safe, cost-effective and professional School Crossing Guard Program we hope you will find this new pricing acceptable. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (800) 540-9290. Take care.

The City Council is recommended to award an agreement to Araad Builders, Inc., for the conshuction of the project, as well as award an agreement to Zevtron, LLC., for the software services for the Electric Charging Stations.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Appropriating $69,000 from the AQMD Fund Balance and $60,000 in Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee ("MSRC") Grant Funds to Account No. 223- 610-49-9005 to fund constivction and software services for the Project; b.

ANALYSIS: The proposed contract was procured through a competitive bid process. Araad Builders, Inc., submitted the lowest responsible and responsive bid at $131,490. The Engineer's estimate was $121,000; thus, the bid is reasonably within budget.

To date, the City Council has appropriated $251,709 to the project inclusive of $77,400 in MSRC Grant funds, $114,309 in AQMD Funds and $60,000 in Measure M Funds. An appropriation of $69,000 in AQMD funds is requested to supplant the $60,000 in Measure M Funds which were unallocated from the project through the annual budget approval process as well as to fund software services in the amount of $9,000. An appropriation of $60,000 in MSRC Grant funds to reprogram the full grant amount of $77,400 in MSRC Grant funds that were inadveitently unallocated from the project through the annual budget approval process.

The proposed EV Charging Stations will require software provided by Zevtron, LLC., to manage and track the energy consumption at each station. The Zevtron software is customizable to meet the City's needs. The software allows the City to control and manage the consumption of energy through a cloud-based management platform. If desired, prices can be set for each charging station as well as notify users when vehicles are fully charged. The software can limit who uses the chargers and for how long. Real time status and reporting is available any time.

BACKGROUND: The Project is a part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. It entails installation of six electrical vehicle charging stations, installation of new panels, electrical conduit and conductors, switches, breakers, hardware, concrete pads, constiucting an ADA ramp, as shown in Attachment B: Civic Center (l-Dual charging station), City Hall Parking Garage (l-Dual charging station), Police Depaitment (2-Dual charging Stations), and at the Public Works Corporate Yard (2-Dual charging Stations).

On June 28, 2022, staff adveitised the Notice Inviting Bids for constniction in the Daily Journal.

The Project was also advertised on the City's website and Ebidboard. On July 25, 2022, three bids were received and opened by the City Clerk in a public foium. The summary of the bids is as follows:
