Cost Share Guidelines
Cost Share consists of non-State funds, including in-kind services. In-kind services are defined as work performed (i.e., dollar value of non-cash contributions) by the Grantee (and potentially other parties) directly related to the execution of the funded project. Examples include volunteer services, equipment use, and use of facilities. The cost if in-kind service can be counted as cost share in-lieu of actual funds (or revenue) provided by the Grantee. Other cost share and in-kind service eligibility conditions may apply. Provided below is guidance for documenting cost share with and without in-kind services.

1. Although tracked separately, in-kind services shall be documented and, to the extent feasible, supported by the same methods used by the Grantee for its own employees. Such documentation should include the following:
a. Detailed description of the contributed item(s) or service(s) b. Purpose for which the contribution was made (tied to project work plan) c. Name of contributing organization and date of contribution d. Real or approximate value of contribution. Who valued the contribution and how was the value determined? (e.g., actual, appraisal, fair market, etc.). Justification of rate. (See item #2, below) e. Person's name and the function of the contributing person f. Number of hours contributed
g. If multiple sources exist, these should be summarized on a table with summed charges h. Source of contribution if it was provided by, obtained with, or supported by government funds

2. Rates for volunteer or in-kind services shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the Grantee's organization. For example, volunteer service of clearing vegetation performed by an attorney shall be valued at fair market value for this service, not the rate for professional legal services. In those instances, in which the required skills are not found in the recipient organization, rates shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market. Paid fringe benefits that are reasonable, allowable, and allocable may be included in the valuation.

3. Cost share contribution (including in-kind services) shall be for costs and services directly attributed to activities included in the GrantAgreement. These services, furnished by professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled labor may be counted as in-kind if the activities are an integral and necessary part of the project funded by the Grant Agreement.

4. Cash contributions made to a project shall be documented as revenue and in-kind services as expenditures. These costs should be tracked separately in the Grantee's accounting system.

APPRAISAL SPECIFICATIONS
For implementation projects that include Land Acquisition Only:

For property acquisitions funded by this Grant Agreement, the Grantee shall submit an appraisal for review and approval by the Department of General Services or DWR's Real Estate Branch prior to reimbursement or depositing State funds into an escrow account. This information should be submitted at least 90 days prior to a reimbursement request to account for review time. All appraisal reports, regardless of report format, shall include all applicable Appraisal Specifications below. Appraisals for a total compensation of $150,000 or more shall be reported as a Self-Contained Appraisal Report. Appraisals for a total compensation of less than $150,000 may be reported as a Summary Appraisal Report, which includes all information necessary to arrive at the appraiser's conclusion. Appraisal Specifications 14, 16, 21, 23-25, and 28 shall be a narrative analysis regardless of the reporting format.

1. Title page with sufficient identification of appraisal assignment.

2. Letter of transmittal summarizing important assumptions and conclusions, value estimate, date of value and date of report.

3. Table of contents.

4. Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, Extraordinary Assumptions, and Hypothetical Conditions as needed.

5. Description of the scope of work, including the extent of data collection and limitations, if any, in obtaining relevant data.

6. Definition of Fair Market Value, as defined by California Code of Civil Procedure, § 1263.320.

7. Photographs of subject property and comparable data, including significant physical features and the interior of structural improvements, if applicable.

8. Copies of Tax Assessor's plat map with the subject marked along with all contiguous assessor's parcels that depict the ownership.

9. A legal description of the subject property, if available.

10. For large, remote or inaccessible parcels, provide aerial photographs or topographical maps depicting the subject boundaries.

11. Three (3) year subject property history, including sales, listings, leases, options, zoning, applications for permits, or other documents or facts that might indicate or affect use or value.

12. Discussion of any current Agreement of Sale, option, or listing of subject property. This issue required increased diligence since state agencies offen utilize non-profit organizations to quickly acquire sensitive habitat parcels using Option Agreements. However, due to confidentiality clauses, the terms of the Option are often not disclosed to the State. If the appraiser discovers evidence of an Option or the possible existence of an Option, and the terms cannot be disclosed due to a confidentiality clause, then the appraiser is to cease work and contact the client.

13. Regional, area, and neighborhood analyses. This information may be presented in a summary format.

14. Market conditions and trends including identification of the relevant market area, a discussion of supply and demand within the relevant market area, and a discussion of the relevant market factors impacting demand for site acquisition and leasing within the relevant market area. This information may be presented in a summary format.

Discuss the title exceptions and analyze the effect of title exceptions on fair market value.

20. For appraisals of partial takings or easements, a detailed description of the taking or easement area including surface features and topography, easements, encumbrances or improvements including levees within the subject partial take or easement, and whether the take area is characteristic of the larger parcel. Any characteristics of the taking area, including existing pre-project levees that render the take area different from the larger parcel shall be addressed in the valuation.

21. Opinion of highest and best use for the subject property, based on an in-depth analysis supporting the concluded use which includes the detail required by the complexity of the analysis. Such support typically requires a discussion of the four criteria of tests utilized to determine the highest and best use of a property. If alternative feasible uses exist, explain and support market, development, cash flow, and risk factors leading to an ultimate highest and best use decision.

22. All approaches to market value applicable to the property type and in the subject market. Explain and support the exclusion of any usual approaches to value.

23. Map(s) showing all comparable properties in relation to the subject property.

25. In-depth discussion of comparable properties, similarities and differences compared to the subject property, adjustments to the comparable data, and discussion of the reliability and credibility of the data as it relates to the indicated subject property value. Improved comparable sales which are used to compare to vacant land subject properties shall include an allocation between land and improvements, using methodology similar to methodology used in item 16 above to estimate improvement value when possible, with an explanation of the methodology used.

26. Comparable data sheets.
a. For sales, include information on grantor/Grantee, sale/recordation dates, listed or asking price as of the date of sale, highest and best use, financing, conditions of sale, buyer motivation, sufficient location information (street address, post mile, and/or distance from local landmarks such as bridges, road intersections, structures, etc.), land/site characteristics, improvements, source of any allocation of sale price between land and improvements, and confirming source. ig4215

For leases, include significant information such as lessor/lessee, lease date and term, type of lease, rent and escalation, expenses, size of space leased, tenant improvement allowance, concessions, use restrictions, options, and confirming source. When comparing improved sales to a vacant land subject, the contributory value of the improvements shall be segregated from the land value.

27. For appraisals of easements, a before and after analysis of the burden of the easement on the fee, with attention to how the easement affects highest and best use in the after condition. An Easement Valuation Matrix or generalized easement valuation references may be used ONLY as a reference for a secondary basis of value.

28. For partial taking and easement appraisals, valuation of the remainder in the after condition and analysis and identification of any change in highest and best use or other characteristics in the affer condition, to establish severance damages to the remainder in the after condition, and a discussion of special and general benefits, and cost to cure damages or construction contract work.

29. There are occasions where properties involve water rights, minerals, or salable timber that require separate valuations. If an appraisal assignment includes water rights, minerals, or merchantable timber that requires separate valuation, the valuation of the water rights, minerals, or merchantable timber shall be completed by a credentialed subject matter specialist.

30. For partial taking and easement appraisals, presentation of the valuation in California partial taking acquisition required format.

INVOICE GUIDANCE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND OVERHEAD CHARGES The funds provided pursuant to this Agreement may only be used for costs that are directly related to the funded Project. The following provides a list of typical requirements for invoicing, specifically providing guidance on the appropriate methods for invoicing administrative and direct overhead charges.

Administration Charges
Indirect and General Overhead (i.e., indirect overhead) charges are not an allowable expense for reimbursement. However, administrative expenses that are apportioned directly to the project are eligible for reimbursement. Cost such as rent, office supplies, fringe benefits, etc. can be "Direct Costs" and are eligible expenses as long as:
* There is a consistent, articulated method for how the costs are allocated that is submitted and approved by the Grant Manager. The allocation method must be fully documented for auditors. * A "fully-burdened labor rate" can be used to capture allowable administrative costs. * The administrative/overhead costs can never include:
o Non-project specific personnel and accounting services performed within the Grantee or an LPS' organization
o Markup
o Tuition
o Conference fees
o Building and equipment depreciation or use allowances * Using a general overhead percentage is never allowed Labor Rates
The Grantee must provide DWR with supporting documentation for personnel hours (see personnel billing rates letter in example invoice packet). The personnel rate letter should be submitted to the DWR Grant Manager prior to submittal of the first invoice. The supporting documentation must include, at a minimum, employee classifications that will reimbursed by grant funds and the corresponding hourly rate range. These rates should be "burdened"; the burdened rate must be consistent with the Grantee's/Local Project Sponsors standardized allocation methodology. The supporting documentation should also provide an explanation of what costs make up the burdened rate and how those costs were determined. This information will be used to compare against personnel hours summary table invoice back up documentation. Periodic updates may be needed during the life of the grant which would be handled through a revised billing rate letter. t3?219

ANALYSIS: The City has a GIS hosted by Nobel Systems, Inc. ("Nobel"). The GIS system is used for two primary purposes:
(a) To map assets overlaying the City such as infrastructure or property lines. This is used to support several functions such as creating exhibits for referencing fieldwork or for project development; and
(b) As a Service Request System. The Public Works Department, Field Operations Division is now transitioning to a GIS-based Service Request System for the planning and scheduling of maintenance activities which utilizes Nobel. Over the years, services have been obtained fromNobel as the need arose (on both these fronts) to expand the GIS system and to expand the Service Request System.

The City currently budgets $79,700 annually for these services and pays for them with separate purchase orders. Given the growth in the use of the GIS and Service Request System, and its respective budget, it makes sense to consolidate services. This consolidation will streamline the services needed and the processing of payments. Further, it will provide the City Council the ability to consider approval prior to expanding contract services with Nobel. As such, staff is recornrnending consolidating the services under one professional services agreement. Staff is also recommending expanding the services to :turther expand the Service Request System.

Regarding the expansion of the Service Request System, services currently encompass the Water, Streets and Sewers, and Graffiti Divisions. Staff is proposing expanding the Service Request System to incorporate the Facilities, Electrical, and Streets Divisions.

Regarding the GIS System, it currently has GIS information of City infrastructure inclusive of the water, sewer, storm drain, and recycled water systems. For an additional $39,400, annually, staff IS prOpOSlng:
* Adding unlimited GIS Data, software updates, and staff training; * Adding integration into CitiTech which is the current Public Works Maintenance Management System to streamline reports and generate data without manually entering information;
* Integrating the City App (Granicus) with GeoViewer in order to submit work orders which will automatically convert into GeoViewer work orders. This process will integrate the Service Request Systems to allow for the data and work orders to be managed and centralized; and
* Incorporating the Lead and Copper Module in GeoViewer to enhance access. A new state mandate requires the City to identify all water service line materials on the customers side and utility side and needs to be in a format that can be shared with the public when lead service lines are identified.

The existing and proposed services are tabulated on the following page.

The existing annual budgeted cost is $79,700. The additional annual cost is $59,400, for a total of 2 250
$136,600, annually. An additional one-time cost of $2,500 is for the Lead-Copper Module for a total of $139,100 for the first year of services. Included are as-needed services. These services are proposed to be budgeted with $20,000 in General Funds.

A five-year contract term is recommended. The City has been using Nobel for more than 15 years and has developed the GIS system during this time. The expansion to a more robust system will take many years as budgets and investment in upgrades have not been set for a full transition.

Further, with this investment, the tools GIS provides will be used for many years, leaving the 5- year term to be a practical recommendation.

BACKGROUND: The City operates and maintains various infrastructure systems such as:
roads, traffic signals, water system, sewer system, and streetlights. The City's Public Works Department, Field Operations Division is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of these systems. Maintenance of the systems requires extensive planning, staffing, scheduling, work orders and documenting completed work. Looking towards the future, efficiency is paramount to successfully operating and maintaining City infrastructure. The Department has initiated a proactive strategy to transition from its Maintenance Management System ("MMS") to a GIS- based Service Request System ("SRS"). The SRS provides the ability to plan and schedule work as well as to document completed work and map it out on GIS. This program provides 3 251
management personnel with the ability to understand areas of the City where work is being performed, which is helpful in planning work. The GIS system also provides staff the ability to view important as-built drawings, record drawings and operation & maintenance records, not only from their offices but also in the field with electronic devices. This technology is a critical source of information in Field Operations which is needed for proper and efficient maintenance, particularly for emergency repair and improving customer service response times.

The Department currently uses both a MMS and a SRS but is in the process of fully transitioning to the latter. The MMS was purchased over 30 years ago and is an older technology. The SRS became available in 201 7; however, the City has been using the Nobel GIS System since 2008.

The expansion of the SRS system is essential. The proposed updates will empower staff with critical data including condition assessments, system as-builts, video inspections, and more. In emergency situations, like water main breaks, the GIS System will prove indispensable by guiding field crews to the precise valve locations necessary to control water flows. Similarly, in cases of sewer spills or blockages, the GeoViewer will swiftly provide guidance regarding the affected sewer segment, manholes, and service laterals.

The GeoViewer will play a pivotal role for City staff in managing and executing work orders related to water, sewer, graffiti, asphalt, and sidewalks. This versatile tool will also seamlessly integrate with the City App (Granicus), facilitating the receipt and processing of work orders requested by valued citizens. Within GeoViewer, City staff will efficiently complete work orders by entering labor, equipment, and materials information. Once these tasks are success:fully accomplished, the GeoViewer will automatically notify the resident who initiated the work request about the completion of work. This smooth coordination is made possible through the integration of these two systems.

Located in Redlands, Nobel has successfully enabled more than 100 organizations with smarter technology. Nobel is an industry leader in all aspects of GIS and is comprised of over 70 information technology professionals with backgrounds that include Civil Engineering, Public Works Management, Information Technology, Field Data Collection, and Software Engineering.

Nobel is exceptionally skilled in the development, maintenance, and integration of Enterprise GIS Cloud solutions.

EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK
Minimum Hardware:

SECTION -1
The GeoViewer cloud applications do not require any server infrastructure. Since the GeoViewer Mobile application only works on iOS at this time, field crews will require Apple iPhones or iPads.

GeoViewer Desktop application will require Internet Explorer version 11+ at the minimum, and will work on all major browsers, including IE Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.

Nobel has always researched and sought to use the latest and greatest technologies to provide better service to our customers. For this reason, Nobel Systems set out on an extensive R&D effort and decided to shift to the MapBox to host the data. Nobel Systems uses powerful NodeJS servers and utilizes the technologies of top cloud service providers (AWS and Google) and has branched out into the new Internet of Things Space. All these efforts resulted in a dramatic improvement of speed, performance, and overall efficiency of our applications. We are constantly researching and will develop newer tools every month.

The City will have unlimited licenses/users to access GeoViewer Online and GeoViewer Mobile as a part of this agreement.

SECTION -2
Nobel will provide the appropriate licenses to City to access its data using the following software:

Base GIS application (GeoViewer Online and GeoViewer Mobile) - See description below.

The GeoViewer cloud platform utilizes NoSQL as its primary data store to manage big data quickly and efficiently. Most utilities have changing needs as they grow with their enterprise software.

They need to add new fields to run reports, modify their business intelligence dashboards, etc.

Our NoSQL database allows for these changes to be made quickly and easily. The system shall be capable of allowing public access but shall not allow public access except as directed by the City.

GeoViewer Online:

Nobel's cloud solution, GeoViewer Online, is hosted on servers in a secure tier-4 colocation data facility with an application availability uptime rating of 99.99%. GeoViewer supports the use of several browsers including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer (Version 11+), Firefox, andSafari.

Nobel will provide enterprise level access to the City with individual secure user ID's to manage and distribute to department employees for accessing the GeoViewer Online service. Based upon user ID and associated Groups the end-users will have access to departmental spatial datasets, Google imagery, Google street view and other local government geospatial data through a user-friendly interface.

Industry Best practices and platform:

The GeoViewer approach to this objective is quite simple. GeoViewer offer an easy-to-use, intuitive interface to Geographic Information Systems that provides the casual user with the ability to access the information they need with little or no formal training.

The main objectives of the system include,
* Abilityfornon-GISstafftousethesystemeffectivelywithlessthanfourhoursoftraining.

Provide access to interactive Water atlas maps from staff desktops through web browser.

Locate and view an area of interest anywhere within the service area.

Provide secured access to only authorized users.

Map updates are seamlessly delivered to system users without any lagtime.

Provide an extensible system that can be enhanced to provide broader functionality and adapt to future software and functionality enhancements.

Enable direct integration with geographic data repositories, asset management information, linked image libraries, and other information associated with water system infrastructures.

The GeoViewer was designed with the following assumptions in mind:
a Casual GIS users want fast, easy access to relevant information.

Casual GIS users do not have the time or desire to learn about topology, Shapefiles, ARC/INFO, theories of GIS, etc.

Casual GIS users do not want to have to add themes, assign colors, change theme properties, etc.
12 264
Casual GIS users do not want to be bothered with the task of doing map composition. They would much rather print their maps with a standardized template.

Casual GIS users do not typically need to make large maps themselves and are perfectly happy printing an 8 1/2 by 11 map on a laser or ink jet printer. For the more advanced users, GeoViewer Online Supports multiple paper sizes that is only restriction is the clients printing device.

Casual GIS users' needs are simple-They need GeoViewer.

GeoViewer is a robust and easy to use Enterprise Geographic Information Interface.

GeoViewer is extremely flexible and can be tailored to any dataset.

Department Head:

For the Regular Meeting of: February 13, 2024
ent: Public Works
CErvantes Rob Houstort
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH SYNTECH SYSTEMS INC. FOR THE

IMPLEMENT ATION OF FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AT CITY FACILITIES PURPOSE: To approve an agreement with Syntech Systems Inc. ("Syntech") to install fuel management systems ("Agreement") to operate fuel stations located at the Public Works Corporate Yard, Parks Yard, and Police Station.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving a 3-year Agreement with Syntech Systems Inc. for the installation of fuel management systems at the Public Works Corporate Yard, Parks Yard, and Police Station, for an amount not-to-exceed $124,460;
b. Approveanappropriationof$6,156fromFleetManagementFunds; c. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and
d. Rescinding a prior award by the City Council on April 26 2022 to E.J. Ward in the amount of $165,420 based on the contractor's failure to execute a similar agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. The Agreement is in the amount of $124,460, as summarized below. A total of $99,870 in Fleet Management Funds is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Public Works Operating Budget. An appropriation is needed in the amount of $6,156 in Fleet Management Funds to fund the first year of services. The second and third-year services will be budgeted with Fleet Management Funds as a part of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 and Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget approval process.

FY 2023/24 FY 2024/25 FY 2025/26 Total
Proposed Agreement $106,026 $9,217 $9,217 $124,460
ANALYSIS: Fueling stations are typically equipped with fuel management systems which are used to monitor, control, and capture fuel consumption data as well as to generate reports. Fuel management systems consist of equipment, computer hardware and software. The equipment is installed on the fuel station bays adjacent to the fuel dispensers 1 272
The City owns and operates fueling stations at the Public Works Corporate Yard, Parks Yard, and Police Station to fuel respective vehicle fleets. The fueling stations at the Public Works Corporate Yard and Police Station are equipped with 'fuel management systems; however, the Park Yard is not. The fuel management systems are antiquated and in need of replacement.

The fuel management system located at the Public Works Corporate Yard is being operated manually because it is not fully :[unctional. It lacks the necessary technology for secure, efficient, and accurate 'fuel usage reporting. Maintenance support is a challenge. The company servicing the equipment has had a limited number of technicians available to troubleshoot issues with the system. The annual cost for phone support and hardware maintenance has reached between $2,500 and $3,000 for patch repairs. The fueling pedestal can no longer be serviced. The parent company has developed a new software platforn'i and no longer has the capability of providing updates to their prior software.

The fuel management system located at the Police Department is no longer functional and needs to be replaced. The Park Yard site is not equipped with a fuel management system. Staff logs odometer and gasoline consumption information manually which does not distinguish which employee or vehicle is actually receiving gasoline. The fuel log data is then manually logged into the fleet management system which creates an opportunity for inaccurate data entry. The proposed agreement is recommended to equip the fuel stations at the three above referenced sites with new fuel management systems.

The proposed agreement with Syntech provides for the replacement and installation of fuel management systems at the Public Works Corporate Yard, Parks Yard, and Police Station. It is for a 3-year term and provides the listed services.

BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation Department and Police Department have a combined fleet of over 200 vehicles units that are utilized for daily operations. Vehicles are assigned to employees who are responsible and accountable for fuel consumption. Vehicles are fueled at the fuel stations located in each department's facility for which reliable fuel management systems are necessary. The fuel stations need fuel management system upgrades to facilitate the process of fueling vehicles and document usage.

The proposed agreement provides the following:
* Installation of fuel management systems at the Public Works Yard, Parks Yard and Police Station. The service pedestal will be installed on the fueling bays next to the fuel 2 273
dispensing units. They will serve to operate the 'fueling station and monitor fuel consumption.
* Service pedestals will provide card-based and prokey based access for the Public Works Yard and Parks Yard. The service pedestal at the Police Department will be equipped with a card reader to identify the employee. Police Department vehicles will be equipped with a transmitter that will allow for quicker vehicle identification as the fueling needs of police officers may be time sensitive.
* Hardware will be installed on City vehicles to communicate with the service pedestal and monitor vehicle fuel consumption.
* A computer tower will be supported with a web-based server, in lieu of a local server, to capture data from all fuel stations. This system will monitor, control and capture fuel consumption data as well as generate reports. The software will track fuel consumption data per employee and per vehicle to create additional accountability and reliability in all departments. The proposed project includes data hosting and year-round call center support including onsite parts and labor for a 3-year period and warranty for the first year.

Syntech is used by some of the largest fleet maintenance utility groups in the region including the California Department of Transportation, and the Department of Defense. Syntech offers off- site hosting which will relieve the IT department of the burden of maintaining the on-site server located in the Fleet Superintendent's office.

On April 26, 2022, the City approved funding to furnish and install a fuel management system in the amount of $165,240. After approval, staff presented the contract to E.J. Ward for execution and E.J. Ward refused to execute the agreement, instead provided a counter to perform the same work at higher rates. Staff opted not to move forward as this was the second change in pricing after they provided their initial fee proposal.
