SUBJECT: AMENDMENT N0. 3 TO CONTRACT N0. 3408 FUNDING AGREEMENT

WITH THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FOR THE

TWEEDY BOULEVARD TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT, LAMTA ID F7309, CITY PROJECT N0. 514-TRF
PURPOSE: To approve Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 3408 ("Amendment No. 3"), which is a grant :[unding agreement with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Metro"), to extend the funding lapse date to February 28, 2025, thereby encompassing the period during which 2013 Call for Projects Grant Funds were expended.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Retroactively approving Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 3408 with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) ("Agreement") to modify the agreement term and extend the funding lapse date to February 28, 2025, encompassing the period during which the 2013 Call for Projects Grant funds were used to fund the Tweedy Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project, LAMTA ID No. F7309, City Project No. 514-TRF; and
b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 3 in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. Contract No. 3408 provides $1,317,212 in 2013 Call for Projects Grant Funds. Amendment No. 3 extends the funding lapse date but does not alter the grant amount.

ANALYSIS: The Tweedy Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project ("Project") was awarded funding through Metro's 2013 Call for Projects Grant Program on September 18, 2013, Metro programmed $517,780 for Fiscal Year 2017/18 and $799,432 for Fiscal Year 2018/19. To receive and expend these funds, the City Council approved Contract No. 3804 on January 23, 2018, entering into a Funding Agreement with Metro.

To prevent the grant funds from lapsing, Metro requires amendments to the Funding Agreement to extend the lapsing date. Metro approved Amendment No. l on December 29, 2021, extending the lapsing date to Febniary 28, 2023, to allow additional time for project construction. 36 Amendment No. 2 was subsequently approved by Metro on September 28, 2023, further extending the lapsing date to February 29, 2024. It is now necessary for the City Council to approve Amendment No. 3 to retroactively extend the lapsing date to February 28, 2025.

Construction of the project was completed during this period thus this extension will ensure all grant funds qualifies for reimbursement.

BACKGROUND: The Tweedy Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project was included in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") as a key initiative to modernize the City's traffic signal infrastructure. Construction of the project was completed on October 22, 2024.

The primary objective of the project was to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety, reduce travel delays, and alleviate traffic congestion along the Tweedy Boulevard corridor. To achieve these goals, the project focused on enhancing traffic flow through advanced signal coordination and intelligent transportation system ("ITS") upgrades. Specifically, the scope of work included synchronizing 13 signalized intersections along Tweedy Boulevard from Victoria Avenue to Atlantic Avenue by installing underground conduit and fiber optic cabling for interconnectivity.

Additional improvements included replacing outdated traffic signal cabinets and controllers, re- wiring the signal systems to meet current standards, and installing video detection systems to optimize signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions.

As a visual enhancement to the corridor, decorative artwork was added to each newly installed traffic signal cabinet, contributing to the aesthetic appeal of the community while reinforcing the City's commitment to functional and attractive public infrastructure Construction of the project was completed on schedule and within the approved budget. The successful implementation of the project has improved traffic circulation, enhanced pedestrian safety, and laid the groundwork for future smart city infrastructure ATT ACHMENTS: A.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. I TO CONTRACT N0. 2022-41-CC WITH HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL, INC. TO CONTINUE HVAC EQUIPMENT

MAINTENANCE, MONITORING, AND REP AIR SERVICES FOR CITY FACILITIES PURPOSE: To approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-41-CC ("Amendment No. 1") with Honeywell International Inc., extending the term by 12 months to continue providing equipment maintenance, monitoring, and repair services at various municipal facilities through June 30, 2026.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Coiu'icil will consider:
a. Approving Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-42-CC with Honeywell International Inc. ("Agreement"), for a 12-month extension, to continue HVAC maintenance services for various municipal facilities through June 30, 2025, for an amount not-to-exceed $164,481; and
b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement is in the amount of $164,481, which will be funded as a part of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 0perating Budget, as summarized below:

Total 396,573 $136,091 $63,508 $67,640 $663,812
ANALYSIS: Honeywell International Inc. is under Contract No. 2022-41-CC to maintain HVAC equipment maintenance, monitoring, and repair services for various municipal facilities.

The current term of the contract expires on June 30, 2025. Amendment No. I proposes to extend 1 41
the term 12 months, aligning with the Department of Public Works' standard practice of managing service agreements of this nature.

While the original contract does not include formal extension provisions, it is within the City Council's authority to approve such an extension with the contractor's consent, which has been obtained. It is common practice for HVAC service contracts to be awarded an initial three-year term and extended twice, each for one additional year, provided the contractor continues to perform acceptably. This approach supports continuity of service and helps ensure the ongoing delivery of consistent, high-quality maintenance.

Since the contract's inception, Honeywell International, Inc. has met all contractual obligations and has consistently provided a high standard of service. Their responsiveness, reliability, and attention to detail have contributed to HVAC systems that operate reliably year-round. Based on their performance to date, staff recommend extending the contract for an additional year.

Given that Honeywell International, Inc. continues to meet performance expectations and provide reliable service, staff recommend approval of the proposed 12-month extension.

In addition to the 12-month extension proposed under Amendment No. 1, the agreement includes an option to extend the term for an additional 12-month period, through June 30, 2027. This optional extension is not automatic and would require separate approval by the City Council.

BACKGROUND: The following City facilities are equipped with HVAC systems: 1) Public Works Corporate Yard; 2) Police Department; 3) City Hall; 4) South Gate Park Municipal Auditorium; 5) Girls Club House; 6) South Gate Sports Center, 7) Well No. 28 Booster Pump Station, 8) Well No. 29, 9) Westside Reservoir, 10) Hollydale Resource Center, 11) Margaret Travis Senior Center, 12) Civic Center, and 13) Westside Resource Center. The Public Works Department maintains the HVAC systems utilizing the services of a specialty contractor.

Services include routine and on-call maintenance services for equipment inspection and repairs, remote monitoring of equipment performance, filter changes, preventive maintenance and other maintenance required to operate HVAC systems.

On June 28, 2022, the City Council approved the Agreement with Honeywell International, Inc. for a 3-year term effective July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025, in the amount of $499,331. Since the start of the agreement, Honeywell International, Inc. has provided a high level of service and has met all contract requirements.

Amendment No. 1 proposes extending the term of the contract by 12 months, through June 30, 2026. This extension is consistent with the Department of Public Works' standard practice for service agreements of this nature, which are typically awarded for an initial three-year term, followed by up to two additional one-year extensions when the contractor continues to perform acceptably. Extending the contract maintains the continuity of service and avoids disruption to operations at critical municipal facilities.

If the extension if approved by the City Council, no Request for Proposals ("RFP") will be issued at this time.

2022-42-CC WITH

CUSTODIAJ, AND
PURPOSE: To extend the term of Contract No. 2022-42-CC for 12 months to continue custodial and maintenance services for various municipal facilities.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:

Approving Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-42-CC with Merchants Building Maintenance ("Agreement"), to extend the contract term for 12 months to continue custodial and maintenance services for various municipal facilities through June 30, 2026, for an amount not-to-exceed $322,910, or $26,909 monthly; and b. Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. I in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: Amendment No. 1 is in the amount of $322,910, or $26,909 monthly, which will be funded as a part of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 0perating Budget as summarized below:

Total $1,060,057 $40,658 $123,023 $82,611 $1,306,349
ANALYSIS: Merchants Building Maintenance is currently under Contract No. 2022-42-CC to provide custodial and maintenance services for various municipal facilities. The initial contract ternn is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025. Amendment No. 1 proposes extending the contract for an additional 12 months, aligning with the Department of Public Works' standard practice of managing service agreements of this nature.
1 AS13772.0860872 4873-6304-2407vl 48
While the original contract does not include formal extension provisions, it is within the City Council's authority to approve such an extension with the contractor's consent-which has been obtained. It is common practice for custodial service contracts to be awarded an initial three-year term and extended twice, each for one additional year, provided the contractor continues to perform acceptably. This approach supports continuity of service and helps ensure the ongoing delivery of consistent, high-quality maintenance
Since the contract's inception, Merchants Building Maintenance has met all contractual obligations and has consistently provided a high standard of service. Their responsiveness, reliability, and attention to detail have contributed to the cleanliness and maintenance of City facilities, supporting a professional and welcoming environment for staff and the public alike.

Based on their performance to date, staff recommend extending the contract for an additional year.

Given that Merchants Building Maintenance continues to meet performance expectations and provides reliable service, staff recommends approval of the proposed 12-month extension.

In addition to the 12-month extension proposed under Amendment No. 1, the agreement includes an option to extend the term for an additional 12-month period, through June 30, 2027. This optional extension is not automatic and would require separate approval by the City Council.

BACKGROUND: The City of South Gate ("City") utilizes the services of a janitorial contractor for the upkeep of the City Hall, Museum/Civic Center, Police Department and Jail, Police Department Narcotic Unit facility, and the Public Works Corporate Yard buildings.

General custodial services include daily trash removal, vacuuming, sweeping, carpet cleaning, floor maintenance, dusting, interior window washing, and wall washing in these facilities that provide staff or public use.

On June 28, 2022, the City Council approved the Agreement with Merchants Building Maintenance for a three-year term, effective July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025, in the amount of $1,149,281. Since the start of the Agreement, Merchants has provided a high level of service and has met all contract requirements.

Amendment No. 1 proposes extending the term of the Agreement by 12 months, through June 30, 2026. This extension is consistent with the Department of Public Works' standard practice for service agreements of this nature, which are typically awarded for an initial three-year term, followed by up to two additional one-year extensions when the contractor continues to perform acceptably. Extending the contract maintains the continuity of service and avoids disruption to operations at critical municipal facilities.

SUBJECT: INTERAGENCY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE

REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ("RIITS") BETWEEN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN

TRANSPORT ATION ADMINISTRATION AND THE CITY OF SOUTH GATE PURPOSE: To approve an Interagency Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") between the City of South Gate ("City") and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Administration ("Metro"), in its capacity as the Administrator of the Regional Integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems ("RIITS").

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider approving the Interagency Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Administration for the Regional Integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems ("RIITS").

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this MOU.

ANALYSIS: The approval of this MOU allows the City to fornnally participate as a voting member in the RIITS, a regional data-sharing network administered by Metro. RIITS facilitates the exchange of real-time transportation data among partner agencies, improving the coordination and performance of traffic and transit systems across jurisdictional boundaries.

By joining RIITS, the City will have access to critical transportation data, including signal timing, traffic volumes, video feeds, and transit vehicle locations, shared by other participating agencies throughout Los Angeles County. This will enhance the City's ability to manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and support emergency response and public safety operations. The City will also contribute its own traffic signal and transit-related data to the RIITS network to support broader regional goals such as Countywide Signal Priority ("CSP") and Integrated Corridor Management ("ICM").

Participation in RIITS supports the City's ongoing efforts to modernize its Intelligent Transportation Systems ("ITS") infrastructure, improve interagency coordination, and expand its capacity for future mobility initiatives. The MOU requires no financial commitment and may be 1 54
teiminated at any time with proper notice, giving the City flexibility while benefiting from the regional data-sharing platfon'n.

BACKGROUND: In April 2004, the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans"), District 7, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation ("LADOT"), and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Administration ("Metro") entered into an Interagency Memorandum of Understanding to establish the Regional Integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems (RIITS MOU). RIITS provides exchange infrastructure and operational resources, including but not limited to, near real-time traffic, transit, video, and other data relating to all modes of transportation.

In December 2004, LACMTA, Caltrans, and LADOT entered into Amendment No. 1 to the RIITS MOU to name Metro as the Administrator and delegate authority to Metro to administer, maintain, operate RIITS, process member agreements, enforce their terms and conditions, and established a Configuration Management Coinmittee ("CM Committee") to oversee RIITS.

On June 2, 2023, the CM Committee voted to approve the City of South Gate's membership as a voting member, contingent upon the City exchanging information through RIITS. To become part of RIITS, the City must enter into an Interagency MOU authorized by Metro. By joining RIITS, the City will gain access to transportation data from RIITS Members and agrees to share operational and infrastructure resources for Countywide Signal Priority ("CSP") and Integrated Corridor Management ("ICM").

Once the Agreement is signed, it will remain valid for one year. After the initial year, it will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless either party gives written notice to the other at least thirty (30) days before the expiration, indicating that they do not wish to renew the Agreement. The City reserves the right to terminate the Agreement at any time by providing the Administrator with thirty (30) days' written notice.

BACKGROUND: The GATEWAY COG is leading the development of a $103 million Regional Fiber Optic Network, supported by a $46.1 million grant from the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") and in partnership with the California Department of Technology. This initiative aims to advance digital equity by enhancing broadband access, affordability, and connectivity across the Gateway region. With limited private-sector investment, local governments are taking the lead in building high-speed fiber infrastructure to foster economic development, support bandwidth-intensive industries, and provide reliable internet service to City facilities and potentially to residents and businesses in participating cities.

The project includes the installation of 168 miles of backbone fiber throughout the region, linking to the Statewide Middle Mile Broadband Network ("MMBN") and delivering scalable broadband to 4,254 unserved locations, as defined by CPUC standards.

In the City, the design incorporates 13,659 feet of underground fiber installation and 5,432 feet of aerial cable installation on existing wood poles. The proposed underground fiber route in the City will run along California Avenue, extending from the northern City limit to the southern City limit. The aerial cable will be installed along Southern Avenue, from West Frontage Road to the East City limit, and along West Frontage Road, from Southern Avenue to Miller Way.

City Attorney Salinas reiterated that a public hearing is like being in a courtroom and that the members in the audience respect the various viewpoints.

City Manager Houston stated these items were continued from the April 22nd City Council Meeting. Mr. Houston stated the Engle Properties Group has a proposal for an agreement that's before Council tonight. There are three items that will be packaged into a single discussion. Both the City and Alameda Engle representatives have agreed to do a single presentation. The order of speaking will be Alameda Engle Properties' representative's, the city's representative, Jim Eckart and then public comment.

City Manager Houston asked the Alameda Engle Properties' representative to present his presentation.

Alfred Fraijo attorney at SOMOS Law Group, and counsel for the applicants stated his clients are in agreement that the truck trailer and container use on the property should be retired once and for all. His clients are present as requested by this body to express their commitment to reaching a resolution with the city tonight. They are prepared with written documentation to formally withdrawal the items on the agenda concerning items 3, 4, and 5.

Mr. Fraijo spoke on the merits of the cessation agreement and requested City Attorney Salinas to submit as part of the public record. Mr. Fraijo stated Mr. Jason Engle would come up and say a few words.

Jason Engle on behalf of Alameda Engle Properties and his father, the owner of the property, stated that his grandfather started in South Gate in 1973 and for four generations have been part of the South Gate community. The care and wellbeing of the community is a core value of their company. They are very proud of the business being built, jobs they have been able to provide and collaboration with the city over the pass fifty-five years. Suggestions that his family is not concerned about the wellbeing of this cornrnunity are inaccurate and hurtful. They have listened and appreciated the concerns expressed by the neighbors. It is difficult to give up a business they have worked so hard to build and

maintain, but having heard the neighbors, the succession agreement is the best path forward.

John Signo, Planning Manager, spoke on the background of the Alameda Engle Properties. He also spoke on the Plaru'iing Commission's decision to deny the appeal.

Jim Eckart, City Prosecutor, spoke on item 2 to try and resolve items 3, 4 and 5.

Mayor Davila asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on these items.

The following people expressed opposition to the Alameda Engle Properties and are asking Council to approve the cessation agreement:

Jennifer Daley; JoAnn, cancer research advocate, sustainable designer and deeply concerned cornrnunity member; Jonathan Contreras; David Moreno; Omar Ruiz; Andrew Herrera; Rosemary; Jennifer Ganata, member of Community for Better Environment; Janet Preciado Vargas, Southeast Youth Organizer for Communities for Better Environment; Sofia Rodriguez, member for Communities for Better Environment and South Gate resident; Ozzie Orosco, member for Communities for Better Environment; Nathan Villareal, member for Communities for Better Environment; Araceli Rivas, member for Communities for Better Environment; Liz Ruiz, member for Communities for Better Environment, South Gate resident and Planning Commissioner; Roberto Beltran, South Gate resident; Alexander, youth member for Communities for Better Environment, provided letters from youth members; Gabriel Guerrero, South Gate resident and member for Communities for Better Environment.

Thomas Buckley opposes the agreement.

Mayra, South Gate resident, is bothered when individuals claim, "back door deals" and if so, why have they not been reported. She also stated that a certain social media will remove and block individuals that question certain posts. She thanked the city for everything that's being done and City Council Members.

Isabel Gomez stated the Alameda Engle Properties should be shut down and a plan made for quick and effective cleanup of the site.

Mario Dominguez expresses strong opposition to the continued operation of the local business owned by Engles. He urges the Council to reject all appeals and to accept the agreement.

121
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 13, 2025 Ms. Zepeda, Santa Fe Avenue, urges the City Council to uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny Engles' permit to operate.

Having no one else come forward, Mayor Davila closed the audience portion,
City Attorney Saalinas stated hearing closing remarks by the representative for Engles and then followed by the City's representative.

Alfred Fraijo counsel for the applicants stated their willingness to work with the community. The agreement does not solve all the industrial use surrounding the property. He understands there were some comments referring to trembling and vibration. The property has been the subject of that because of the railroad that's in proximately of the property. Mr.

Fraijo stated the property concerning environmental conditions and contamination has been the subject of two decades of cleanup. Mr. Fraijo is submitting their letter, formerly withdrawing from the items 3-5. After the hearing and regardless of the outcome, he is happy to speak with CBE, SELA for a Better Tomorrow about future uses on the property and in partnership with City staff, City Manager and in support of the community that have been present.

Jim Eckart, City Prosecutor, responded to comments from the community.

CityAttorney Salinas stated that Council should consider item 2 and if the cessation agreement is approved then no action on items 3, 4 and 5 would be needed.

City Council Hurtado questions why policy was not followed. He also asked what steps are being taken so this won't happen again.

City Manager Houston stated the city has limited resources on behalf of the code enforcement staff. When the city receives information from residents on certain private or business violations the city investigates.

City Council Hurtado questioned city staff having authority to give temporary use permits and how to avoid that in the future.

City Manager Houston stated the current staff have a clear understanding that it is a very limited use such as two or three days.

Council Member Hurtado asked City Attorney Salinas how much of a certain case can be shared.

City Attorney Salinas stated that the city received back from the state a property that was granted over to the city's housing authority. The property was being used as a place where used tires were being sold. The

122
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 13, 2025 city was able to deal with the property owner but there was a sub-tenant located on the property. Trying to get that sub-tenant out was a long and difficult process. The sub-tenant then filed a lawsuit against the city claiming that the city had condemned the property through inverse condemnation and prevented that sub-tenant with whom the city had never delt with affecting their business. What started out with the city's goal of trying to clean the property out, acquire it and take control of it took a very long time because the lawsuit was filed and then the courts set the very first status conference in the case nine months away because judges in the courthouses are overworked. Many have over three hundred cases.

Council Member Hurtado brought this up because of comments stating, "back door deals." Environmental issues are taken very seriously. He mentioned three sites that are contaminated. He also mentioned on a social media page that all they do is attack the city.

Council Member Rios thanked the community and Engles for attending tonight's meeting. He hopes Council will be kept informed with the progress of the property. He also hopes it can be done in less than a year.

Mayor Davila thanked the community and Engles for attending tonight's meeting. She also thanked City staff and the attorney for working on a solution.

City Attorney Salinas stated that the record should reflect that because item 2 was approved that means automatically items 3, 4 & 5 are withdrawn by the appellant and need not be taken up by this Council.

RECESS The City Council recessed at 8:42 p.m. and reconvened at 8:50 p.m. with three Members of Council present.

City Attorney Salinas stated this hearing is much like an administrative proceeding and instead of having a judge, we have the five City Council Members that will be making the decision. But like in court, it's important to allow for the presentations to be made. It's important for everyone to listen to the presentations. People may say things you do not agree with, but it's important that you refrain from commenting on those other than at the time when you come to the microphone.

City Manager Houston explained the proceeding of the public hearing, with City Staff giving an overview of the project first, then the Appellant will give their presentation and then the developer. At the close of the presentations the public comment period will open.

Gabriel Perez, Director of Community Development stated Senior Planner, Rodrigo Pelayo, is going to be giving the presentation.

Rodrigo Pelayo, Senior Plaru'ier gave the presentation.

CONT'D
Council MemberAvalos asked for clarification on 50,000 per unit of bad faith which comes out to be $2.7 million dollars of the general fund that the city would have to pay.

Mr. Pelayo stated that is correct.

City Manager Houston stated in discussions with the developer and neighborhood, we have been trying to talk about different alternatives for the K-rail and the gate. The city has been willing to withdraw condition 60 and offer to allow the K-rail to remain and not be part of this project.

Appellants, Jose Morales and his wife, Beatrice Morales, 5343 Almira Rd., on behalf of South Gate Progress Partners, are asking the Council to reconsider parts of this project, specifically the removal of the K-rail barrier and environmental concerns. This is not about stopping housing, but making sure it's done responsibly.

Mr. Morales asked Mrs. Morales to expand on these concerns.

Mrs. Morales' presentation was not audible.

Developer, Nick Patterson (City Ventures) on behalf of South Gate 1 Investments, LLC, the presentation was not audible. Mr. Patterson asked the legal consultant Chris Burt from Cox Castle & Nicholson, LLP to speak.

Chris Burt from Cox Castle & Nicholson is Land Use Counsel for the Applicant forwarded two letters over the weekend responding to allegations in the appeal.

Mr. Burt addressed Condition No. 60, and the applicant supports the K-rail barrier remain. He also addressed concerns regarding contamination.

Mr. Salinas asked Mr. Burt to respond to one of the appeals a little more thoroughly regarding a full-blown environmental analysis is required as it's being suggested by the appellant.

Mr. Burt stated that a full-blown environmental analysis is not accurate as it was explained in the letter. He proceeded to explain.

Mr. Salinas stated that another issue raised was vaper intrusion and to please explain.

Mr. Burt will explain but might need Stan to speak on VIMS (Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems) which are common throughout Southern
