TO PREPARE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE FIRESTONE BOULEVARD PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT, CITY PROJECT N0. 737-WTR PURPOSE: To award an Agreement to SA Associates, Inc., ("SA") to prepare design and construction documents necessary for the Firestone Boulevard Pipeline Replacement Project.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving a Professional Services Agreement with SA to prepare design and construction documents for the Firestone Boulevard Pipeline Replacement Project, City ProjectNo. 737-WIR, for an amount not to exceed $356,000; b.

Authorizing the City Manager to approve and execute amendments up to a cumulative amount of $100,000; and
d. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. The Agreement is in the amount of $356,000 and it will be fully funded with Water Funds. The project budget proposed is $407,000 in Water Funds, of which $307,000 is currently budgeted and $100,000 is a recommended appropriation. Planned budget services are summarized below.

Design Phase Services Water Funds
Professional Services Agreement $356,000
Contingency $36,00
City Staff Time $15,000
Total Budget $407,000
ANALYSIS: The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on PlanetBids for engineering services needed for the Firestone Boulevard Pipeline Replacement Project. Proposals were received from MNS and SA Associates on March 14, 2025. Following evaluation by the designated selection committee, MNS was initially ranked as the highest qualified consultant and selected for negotiations. However, negotiations with MNS were unsuccessful. As such, the City proceeded to negotiate with the second 1 117
highest ranked qualified consultant, SA Associates, and successfully reached an agreement. The selection committee deemed SA Associates qualifiedto performthe work, m'idthey aretherefore recommended for the contract. Their proposed service fees of $356,000 are reasonable and within the industty standard for this type of service.

BACKGROUND: The City operates a municipal water system with approximately 135 miles of water mains, serving more than 14,250 residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The water pipeline located on the Firestone Boulevard Bridge over the Los Angeles River has deteriorated and requires replacement. This project will replace that pipeline and also remove and replace the section of pipeline that crosses the I-710 Freeway.

The Public Works Department is recommending awarding a Professional Services Agreement to SA to prepare design and construction documents for the Firestone Boulevard Pipeline Replacement Project. SA was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals ("RFP") process. On April 9, 2025, an RFP for engineering services was released. Two proposals were submitted to the City Clerk's Office by MNS in the amount of $800,000 and SA Associates in the amount of $356,000.

A selection committee was formed consisting of the Water Resources Manager, Associate Engineer and Water Manager. The committee evaluated the proposal and interviewed MNS and SA Associates. Upon completion of the evaluation process, MNS was identified as the highest ranked consultant and invited to negotiate a contract. Negotiations, however, did not result in an agreement. Accordingly, the City commenced negotiations with the second highest ranked qualified consultant, SA Associates, and successfully finalized terms. SA Associates has been determined to be qualified to perform the required services and is recommended for contract award.

SA Associates offers the following:
* Qualified Project Manager - The Project Manager has more than 19 years of professional services experience in the water resources industry. * Successful Track Record - SA has provided services in water, transportation, and government markets across California for over 65 years, including work for the City. * Project Familiarity - SA is familiar with the City water's water system as they have provided services on prior projects, further, they are the City's current on-call consultants. * Experience on Similar Projects - SA has completed projects with similar scope, such as installation of pipelines on bridges that cross freeways and channels, using similar methods and procedures

PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The City of South Gate (City) operates a municipal water system with approximately 135 miles of water mains, serving over 14,250 customer accounts across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The existing 12-inch water main is aging and requires replacement to ensure continued reliability and service. The pipeline crosses underneath the Firestone Blvd Bridge, spanning the 1-710 Freeway and the Los Angeles River. Due to the bridge location, the project will necessitate compliance with federal and state regulations, as well as close coordination with local regulatory agencies.

The City is seeking a qualified Consultant that can successfully provide Engineering Design Services to prepare Plans, Specifications and Estimates for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project, City Project No. 737-WTR. Services to be provided include project management, preliminary engineering, surveying, design, preparation of final plans, specifications & estimates, and construction support services, in accordance with Local, and State requirements. All services are to be in conformance with the Caltrans design requirements.

The scope of work involves replacing a corroded 1 2-inch water main that is suspended beneath the Firestone Blvd Bridge. The replacement pipeline will span approximately 3,200 linear feet.

Coordination with Caltrans is required, as partial or full closures of the 1-710 Freeway may be necessary during construction. Additionally, coordination with the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Los Angeles Flood Control District (LAFCD) will be required, as a portion of the work occurs over the Los Angeles River. Traffic control measures will be implemented on the Firestone Blvd Bridge, affecting on-ramps and off- ramps to the freeway. Ifinstallation beneath the bridge is deemed infeasible, alternative methods such as boring underneath the freeway may be considered. Efforts will be made to minimize disruptions to businesses and traffic, which may necessitate nighttime construction work. 6 136

Subject: Proposal for Design Services for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project, City Project No. 737-WTR
Dear Derwin:

In accordance with your Request for Proposal, we are pleased to submit our proposal to provide designservicesfortheFirestoneBridgePipelineReplacementProject. SAAssociateshasextensive experience in design and construction of water and recycled water, sewer, storm drain, and street facilities. We have been responsible for the design and construction of over 147 miles of water and recycled water lines for a construction cost of approximately $134 million for various agencies in the Southern California region.

SAA has proven experience with the installation of water pipelines on, and adjacent to, bridge structures, including projects requiring complex coordination with structural elements, traffic control, and agency or owner representatives. We have successfully delivered multiple projects where water mains were integrated into bridge decks, routed through utility corridors adjacent to bridges, or installed beneath bridge and channel structures using jack-and-bore methods. These installations demanded detailed planning and close collaboration with local agencies having jurisdiction, long- term reliability, and accessibility of the pipeline systems. Our approach prioritizes minimal disruption to bridge operations and full compliance with all applicable Caltrans and AWWA standards.

For the City of South Gate, we recently prepared plans, specifications, and cost estimates for Water Main Replacement Project, Phase 1, (689-WTR) consisting of replacing 17,130 ft. of cast iron water main with ductile iron pipe (DIP). Currently we are designing Water Main Replacement, Phase 3 to supplement improvements completed in Phase 1, which includes an additional 7,810 ft. of DIP. We are therefore familiar with the City's policies, personnel, and procedures.

Our proposed project manager, Jorge Lovo, P.E., brings over 25 years of experience in designing and managing water main replacement projects. He will lead a design team with extensive expertise in water main design. This team has a proven track record of delivering successful projects for previous clients. As a result, we will provide a customized approach tailored to the City's specific needs and goals.

Our Cost Proposal is provided in a separate sealed envelope along with the Cost Proposal Form, We confirm receipt of Addendum No. I (acknowledgement follows this letter) and Questions and Answers 1.1 to 1.6. Our proposal is valid for 90 calendar days from the date of this submittal.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal. Should you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Very truly yours,
Shahnawaz Ahmad. P.E.. President

Proposal for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project City Project No. 737-WTR
SECTION Ill: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, APPROACH, AND SCOPE OF WORK It is our understanding that the City of South Gate (City) is seeking to engage a professional engineering consultant to provide engineering design services for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project, City Project No. 737-WTR (Project). The Project involves the replacement of approximately 2,530 linear feet (LF) of existing 12-inch steel and cast iron pipe (CIP) water main with new water main in Firestone Boulevard, from Rayo Avenue to National Avene, in order to improve the existing water system and address the corrosion issue of the aging pipeline beneath the Firestone Boulevard bridges over the Los Angeles River and the 1-710 Freeway. The work also involves reconnections of existing water service laterals and a fire hydrant and tie-ins to existing water mains. Furthermore, the work includes replacement of blow-offs, air release valves, and water valves wherever applicable, trench pavement restoration, and abandonment of existing mains all in compliance with City Standards, California MUTCD, the latest AW\/VA Standards, and the Project Specifications. All design work within the alignment crossing the 1-710 Freeway are to be in conformance with the Caltrans design requirements. The project will involve coordination and permitting with LI.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Caltrans, Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), Los Angeles County Public Works Department (LACDP\/S/), and others. In addition, work will also include hydraulic evaluation, structural analysis, and determination of the recommended method for crossing the 1-710 Freeway and Los Angeles River.

FIGURE 1: PROJECT LOCATION
The limits of Firestone Boulevard where improvements are to be implemented are in an industrial area with some segments near commercial properties, that would require specific construction working hours (nighttime work) in order to minimize disruptions. Moreover, the street consists of concrete pavement and AC pavement, for which pavement would be rehabilitated accordingly.

It is expected that the proposed water main will potentially require permits from and coordination with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Drinking Water (DD\/V) if standard separations between water, sewer, and storm drain cannot be met.

PROJECT APPROACH
The SA Associates engineering team is committed to maximizing all of its resources to provide the most cost-effective design for the water mains that satisfy the City's needs. This team has completed numerous water main designs with success for various cities and agencies, including the City of South Gate, throughout Southern California. We recently completed final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for Phase "l for approximately 15,000 LF ofwater main (DIP and CMLC Steel pipes) replacements including permitting with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) forthe City of Ontario and have also recently completed PS&E for Phase 2 with an approximate length of 17,000 LF. We also recently completed final PS&E for two water main replacement projects for Long Beach utilities Department (Queensway Drive and Ximeno Avenue) totaling 2,845 LF of 8-inch and 12-inch DIP. For the Ximeno Avenue Project, we obtained the necessary permit with Caltrans. We also completed final PS&E for Central Basin Municipal Water District forthe Recycled Water Pipeline Extension in the City ofSouth Gate consisting of approximately 14,000 LF of 20-inch PVC recycled water line and 10,000 LF of 8- inch PVC recycled water line. The project also involved obtaining permits with various railroad companies and crossing a railroad corridor utilizing an existing bridge cell. In addition, we completed final PS&E for the Water Main Replacement Project Phase 1 for the City of South Gate with an approximate replacement length of 17,130 LF of 8-inch and 12-inch DIP and for the Water Utility Pipeline Construction Project forthe City of Pomona totaling 7,500 LF of 8-inch DIP. Currently, we are completing preparation of 90% PS&E for the Water Main Replacement Project Phase 3 for the City of South Gate with an approximate replacement iength of 8,000 LF of 8-inch and 1 2-inch DIP.

Our team is very familiar with the permitting process and requirements for several agencies including Caltrans, LACDPW, LACFCD, Los Angeles County Fire Department, local cities, Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro), UPRR and other railroad companies, Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, Southern California Edison, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and others. Efforts to complete these projects also comprised extensive coordination with DDW for those instances where the proposed mains did not comply with horizontal and vertical separation requirements.

The crucial part of this project is identifying the appropriate installation method for the proposed water mains beneath the two bridges and securing all of the required permits from the various stakeholders owning right-of-way within the project limits. The goal is to minimize conflicts with utilities, expedite permits/coordination with agencies having jurisdiction, and ensure the most cost-effective design.

Following our review of the RFP, Addendum No. 1, and attendance of the preproposal meeting, we investigated the project site to better understand the characteristics of the water main location, its potential impact to businesses, as well as pinpointing the location of existing utilities and present conditions, separations to sewer, pavement type and condition, traffic conditions, and other relevant surface features. Another crucial aspect for the design is the potential conflicts with the subsurface utilities. For the purpose of expediting the utility coordination process, we have already conducted preliminary utility research using DigAlert and obtained contact information forthe utility companies Table I in Section V: Appendix provides a list of utility companies present within the Project limits.

We will perform additional research once awarded the project and receive Notice to Proceed.

Exhibit A on the following page provides further analysis of the existing conditions of the project location and brings forth the crucial details to pay attention to for the design.

Proposal for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project City Project No. 737-WTR
Based on our review of the RFP, Addendum No. 1, Q&A 1.1 to 1.6, our site investigation, our attendance of the mandatory preproposal meeting, and our general understanding of the project requirements, we believe the following to be key project issues:
* Coordination with Outside Aqencies as Necessary (lncludinq Permittinq) Due to the location and impact of this project, there will be coordination with other agencies and owners or representatives of impacted properties. During the course of the design, we are prepared to coordinate with outside agencies and property owners, as necessary, affected by the work. SA Associates will assist the City in identifying approvals/permits needed for this project as determined during the design development process. Per the RFP, this includes permitting requirements review/approval by:
* Caltrans
- LACDPW
. LACFCD
. RWQCB
* Utility Companies * USACE (Section 404 or
* City of South Gate Section 408)
* California Department of * Others
Fish and Wildlife
We have conducted preliminary as-built research on LACDPW's website and have determined that the Los Angeles River channel at Firestone Boulevard is maintained by USACE, which has Sections 404 and 408 enforcement authority. This project is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which states that any discharge of dredged or fill material associated with an activity that converts a wetland to upland requires a Section 404 permit. On the other hand, a Section 408 permitwill be required.

Section 408 requires a permit for
alterations proposed within the
lands and real property interests
identified and acquired for USACE
projects and to lands available for
uSACE projects under the
navigation servitude. Running a
water main from one side of the
channel levee to the other (see
Figure 2) falls under Section 408,
and thus a Section 408 permitwill
be required for this project. FIGURE 2: SECTION 408 JURISDICTION Due to the replacement pipeline crossing the 1-710 Freeway and the impact of the project, there will be coordination with Caltrans. We have worked on various past projects that required Caltrans coordination and permit acquisition. As a result, we are knowledgeable in the process and their requirements.

In addition, we have discovered an existing 8'x8' reinforced box culvert, owned by LACFCD, crossing Firestone Boulevard between the Los Angeles River and the 1-710 Freeway. The depth ofthis culvert is approximately 15 feet per LACFCD as-builts, and thus it should provide enough vertical clearance below the proposed water pipeline. We will of course perform the appropriate coordination with LACFCD to verify.

SECTION Ill: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, APPROACH, AND SCOPE OF WORK Page 4 of 10 181
Proposal for the Firestone Bridge Pipeline Replacement Project City Project N0. 737-VVTR
We will review the California Fish and Game Code to determine if the Project will require possible involvement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFV\/). Based on our preliminary site investigation and review of the Fish and Game Code Section 1602, the proposed pipeline installation methods discussed in this proposal for crossing the Los Angeles River channel will not impact any plant, fish, wildlife, or endangered species, nor substantially obstruct water flow in the Los Angeles River. Thus, environmental review and permitting should not be needed from CDFW; however, notification of the Project may be required.

For open cut trench repair, we will coordinate and assist the City in obtaining approval from DDW for those instances where the standard 10-foot separation between the proposed sections of replacement water main and existing sewer main or storm drain cannot be met due to site constraints. We are very familiar with the DDW Waterworks Standards Main Separation Alternative Request Checklist and have recent and extensive experience in working with DDW to obtain approvals when alternate construction criteria is needed. * Channel and Freeway Crossinqs
The proposed pipeline will cross the Los Angeles River channel, which is about 470 feet wide, and the 1-7'lO Freeway, which is approximately 225 feetwide. The channel and Freeway crossings will require encroachment permits from LACFCD and Caltrans. The crossings may be constructed by tunneling under the channel and freeway (jack-and-bore), hanging along the sides of the bridges, removing the existing pipelines and utilizing the same utility cells on the undersides the bridges.

The utility cell may be a less expensive alternative. During our preliminary research, we were unable to locate any as-builts from Los Angeles County or Caltrans forthe two bridges. We have noted from our site investigation that the bridge crossing over the Los Angeles River appears to have two existing utility openings available beneath each end of the bridge on the south side (added during the widening of the south side of the bridge); however, the openings may not be large enough to allow clearance for the proposed pipeline to pass through. If removing the existing 12-inch pipelines and utilizing the same existing utility openings is the desired option, the opening may not be wide enough accommodate the size of a proposed pipeline casing, in which case, there will be no need fora casing. Another option is to tunnel underneath the channel using jack-and-bore methods. If there is a large amount of data available for the Los Angeles River channel and 1-710 Freeway, we will be able to accurateiy depict the depth and area of the launching and receiving pits as well as accurately depict geotechnical conditions at the site. The agencies having jurisdiction will have significant input on the depth of the bore, annular fill, pit distance from the channel and freeway rights-of-way, and other items. We have prepared tunneling work of this scope before and will provide a design with the level of detail required by all parties to accomplish a successful project. The final option is hanging the pipe along one side of each bridge. This would require a fully welded steel pipe and will require permitting/approval.

We have designed several flood control channel crossings previously. We have coordinating with Los Angeles County on three channel crossings for the Kinneloa migation District in Pasadena. SA Associates also designed a 12-inch water main crossing along Dominguez Channel in Artesia Boulevard for the City of Torrance. In addition, we have designed a 20- inch steel pipe water main within a 24-inch steel casing pipe crossing a 60-foot-wide train corridor owned by Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) at the intersection of Southern Avenue and Alameda Street in the City of South Gate to reach the recreation center and high school west of Alameda Street. Coordination was required with LA County, ACTA, and the owners of the four railroad tracks, BNSF Railway and UPRR. The crossing design utilized an existing utility cell under the bridge at Southern Avenue and Alameda Street.

* Utility Verification & Protection (lncluding Potholinq) Based on ourexperience with several recentwater main replacement projects on both the design and construction management side, we have the experience to ensure that utilities are located properly and protected during construction while minimizing risk of change orders to the City.

The project limits may contain significant utility presence which affects excavation, backfill, and pipe installation. The utility situation is complex but manageable. To reduce costs associated with the protection of utilities and change orders during construction, the design will consider not only utility information provided from the City and underground utility companies, but also thorough field investigation. Potholing during the design phase will be utilized to eliminate any uncertainty of the various underground utility depths within the proposed alignment.

Close coordination with utility owners/agencies will be on-going during the design phase to confirm utilities shown in the plans are in the right locations. We also intend to include a specification section making the Contractor responsible to pothole all work areas to accurately position and safeguard existing utilities. It will also be advantageous to provide for utility protection in the Bid Items descriptions in the Measurement and Payment section to emphasize utility protection and to avoid the risk of change orders. @ Corrosion Mitigation Methods over Los Anqeles River Concerning the corrosion issues of the pipeline over the Los Angeles River, we will investigate the condition of the pipe and review any inspection reports provided by the City.

Based on the condition of the existing pipeline beneath the bridge, we will be able to recommend the proper corrosion mitigation method for the proposed pipelines if installed on the bridge (i.e., cathodic protection, sacrificial anode, etc.). * Traffic Control
For the overall project, proper traffic control will be required to ensure that the project does not pose safety concerns to the commuters and the public. This is especially important where construction will be adjacent to the 1-710 on-ramps and off-ramps. For this project, we will prepare and submit traffic control plans for review by the City and Caltrans.

Based on the conclusions stated above and on the previous page, it is important that the design team reflect well on the values of the City. With this in mind, SA Associates is committed to providing quality staff members who are not only capable of satisfying the project tasks but who also have a track record of similar projects and working well with all impacted agencies and local businesses For this project, we will tackle the main driving factors first which are the topo field survey, evaluation of bridge attachment vs. jack and bore pipeline installation methods, and utility research to develop base maps and determine preliminary alignments and pipe sizing. We want to ensure that our design satisfies the City's needs and requirements. Furthermore, upon approval of the preliminary alignments, we will proceed to identify any potential conflicts with existing utilities after pothole verification. We also want to identify these areas quickly to engage in coordination with outside utilities to work out a solution. Taking these steps as early as we can is crucial to ensure that the design plans are completed on time and as scheduled.

TASK 3 - FIELD SURVEY
Conduct a topographic survey to obtain necessary design topography for open trench water main replacement. All surface features within the right of way shall be located by the survey, including all utilities, valve covers, water meters, manholes, vaults, pull boxes, hydrants, catch basins, etc., as well as, depicting rights-of-way, edge of pavement, sidewalk, landscape, curb, gutter, cross gutters, any easement, utilities, monuments, stripe, and other items pertinent to a well-defined survey. The survey will also include elevations for flow line of existing sewers and storm drains in the project limits. The survey shall also provide baselines, bench marks, and all other basic survey control information. The basis of the vertical control shall be the most recent City benchmark elevations. All field topography shall be collected electronically using modern survey equipment for data processing and preparation of a digital AutoCAD file. It is important to note that all aspects of the two existing bridges will be captured in the survey (i.e., bridge deck, soffit, concrete, ties, surrounding fence, railings, gates, etc.) to ensure the accuracy of the overcrossing portion of the design.

TASK4-PERMITS
Due to the location and impact of this Project, there will be extensive permit coordination with the City Departments, outside agencies, and utility companies. Perthe RFP and our understanding of the various aspects of this project, there will be coordination with Caltrans, LACDPW, LACFCD, RWQCB, CDFW, and USACE. During the course of the design, we are prepared to coordinate with outside agencies and property owners as necessary to assist the City in obtaining permits and approvals. We will also assist the City in obtaining approval from the State (DD\/V) to install new water main segments at a distance less than the separation requirement from the existing sewer mains and other utilities if separation requirements are unable to be met. We will review environmental requirements including obtaining environmental clearances if necessary.

Permittinq Strateqy and Schedule: Based on our team's extensive permitting experience, we are aware that permits from certain outside agencies may take up to six months to procure.

As a result, we will begin the process of preliminary permitting coordination with the affected agencies having jurisdiction as soon as possible to avoid project schedule delays. The permitting schedule will list all permits/approvals required by the various agencies. The schedule will identify the expected date that the plans are to be approved by each agency.

We will review the schedule to confirm that all permits are listed and that the planned dates allow sufficient time before the end of the I 2-month project schedule.

TASK 5 - PREPARATION OF SPECIFICATIONS AND COST Emivms Prepare and submit specifications including front-end documents, special and technical provisions, in accordance with the City's Standard CSI Specifications. We will coordinate with City Staff to obtain the most current Specifications Template for use/reference. We will ensure that specifications clearly convey technical information for quality acceptance, performance characteristics, and permissible construction methods in line with the City's expectations, latest engineering practices, and local, state, and federal regulations.

Specifications will also conform to Caltrans standards. Specifications will be submitted at 60%, 90%, and 1 00% Design stage. Submittals will be in PDF and Microsoff Word format.

Three (3) hard copies will also be provided.

QUALITY A88URANCE/QUALITY CONTROL Ppoauw (QA/QC}
It is the goal of SA Associates to present clients with a superior product and responsive service.

We are aware we can only continue to grow and remain a viable influence in the consulting engineering profession if we produce an excellent product. That is why we have established "excellence in engineering" as our credo. A sound company policy that emphasizes technical strength, professional conduct, efficiency and communication is applied to each project in order to achieve excellence. This policy is the basis of our Quality Assurance / Quality Control program.

To ensure quality, conformity, and enhanced client satisfaction, a uniform review and checking procedure for all project documents is adopted and effectively applied through the QA/QC plan.

All project deliverables undergo two reviews to maintain high quality. The first review is conducted by the QA/QC Manager to provide initial technical input, direction, and evaluation of alternatives. The second review is a detailed, coordinated review by the QA/QC Manager with selected lead personnel reflecting comments from the first review. This procedure ensures all work is reviewed and checked prior to each submittal to the client. Each member of our team makes it his/her responsibility to perform the services per the QA/QC program, and to ensure that what is stated in writing or shown on drawings is correct, cost effective, and in conformance with SA Associates' standards.

Quality Assurance Proqram
Our basic philosophy to quality assurance is:
* Our review and checking procedure is a systematic approach with sufficient flexibility to be workable with a wide variety of projects. The timing and level of review is consistent with project needs.
* All projects are reviewed by an experienced individual not directly involved in the project but generally familiar with the project and the client. @ Responsibility for the quality of the final product rests jointly with the Project Manager/Engineer and the reviewer/checker.
* Responsibility for scheduling review and checking rests with the Project Manager/Engineer.
* All projects must be "signed off' by the checker following review and/or checking.

COST CONTROL
SA Associates' staff performs at a level of difficulty that minimizes redundant or unnecessary activity. Meeting deadlines and attention to detail are primary objectives. Cost control is also exercised with the same importance dedicated to technical problem solving.

Staff engineers apply value analysis/investigation techniques in a systematic approach to obtain optimal value for any marginal cost increase. The result of this approach is to lower total and life cycle costs without sacrificing quality, performance, or reliability.

Project costs are reviewed on a weekly basis by the Project Manager. These costs are reviewed against the budget and schedule. The effort required to complete the project is estimated. In this way, if the budget is close to exceeding, steps can be taken to remedy the situation.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH o.c. VACUUM, INC. TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR THE STORM WATER

DIVRESION SYSTEM LOCATED AT THE TJRBAN ORCHARD PARK PURPOSE: The Urban Orchard Park construction improvements included a stormwater atid wetland system that cleans runoff from the Bandini Channel and/or irrigates the park. Regular specialty maintenance is needed to ensure proper operation and regulatory compliance. Staff recommend awarding a three-year agreement, not to exceed $450,000, to QC Vacuum, Inc. (QC Vac) to provide these specialized maintenance services.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an Agreement with o.c. Vacuum, Inc. to provide operations and maintenance services for the storm water diversion system located at the Urban Orchard Park, for a three-year term, for an amount not to exceed $450,000, or $150,000 per year; b. Authorizing the City Manager to approve and execute amendments for a cumulative amount of $100,000;
c. Authorize the transfer of $190,000 in Measure W Funds from the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program, Urban Orchard Project budget to the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Public Works Budget to fund first year services and contingency funds; and d. Authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCALIMPACT: ThereisnofiscalimpacttotheGeneralFund.TheproposedAgreementwill be fully funded with $450,000 in Measure W Funds over a three-year term, at a rate of $150,000 annually. Funding for the first year is currently budgeted in the FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program, of which $190,000 is proposed to be transfened to the Public Works Operating Budget to support first-year services. The total project budget is $550,000, as summarized below.

Budget Year I Services Year 2 Services Year 3 Services Total Agreement $150,000 $150,000 $150,000 $450,000
Contingency $40,000 $30,000 $30,000 $100,000
Total $550,000
ANALYSIS: Construction of the Urban Orchard Project was recently completed and included 1 201
installation of a stormwater diversion system. The diversion system serves both NPDES stormwater compliance and aesthetic purposes, as it integrates with and enhances the surrounding wetlands. To ensure the system continues to function properly, specialized operations and maintenance services are required at Urban Orchard Park, for which the subject agreement is recommended. The scope of services includes debris removal, vacuum cleaning, inspection, and hydro-jetting of the Bandini Channel, stormwater inlets, vaults, reservoir, and pump stations, as well as graffiti abatement along the Bandini Channel and maintenance of the wetland area.

Approval of this agreement will ensure ongoing compliance with stormwater regulations and preserve the visual quality of the site.

The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find a contractor to handle ongoing maintenance at Urban Orchard Park. One proposal was received from QC Vac, a company with proven experience maintaining stormwater systems and treatment facilities. After reviewing their proposal, staff determined that OC Vac is well qualified for the job and recommend awarding them a contract for an amount not to exceed $450,000 for a three-year term, or $150,000 annually.

BACKGROUND: The Urban Orchard Park officially opened to the public on July 12, 2025 and has a need for specialty services. The park includes a stormwater system and wetland area designed to clean runoff from the Bandini Channel by capturing and treating both dry-weather and some wet-weather flows. To keep the system working properly and continue improving water quality, regular maintenance is required. Under an agreement with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the City is responsible for maintaining parts of the Bandini Charu'iel as well as the stormwater inlets, vaults, reservoirs, and pump stations within Urban Orchard Park.

Staff recommend awarding the agreement to OC Vac, the sole proposer responding to the City's Request for Proposals (RFP) for Urban Orchard Park Operations and Maintenance Services. The RFP was issued on September 11, 2025, through PlanetBids, with proposals due by October 9, 2025. A selection committee composed of the Senior Engineer, Associate Engineer, and Assistant Engineer reviewed QC Vac's proposal. The committee evaluated qualifications, experience, response times, and proposed fees, and determined that QC Vac is well qualified to perform the required services. OC Vac offers the following strengths:
* Experienced Project Manager: Over 20 years of professional experience in the water resources industry.
* Proven Performance: More than 45 years of experience providing environmental and maintenance services across California, including previous work for the City. * Project Familiarity: Recently provided emergency maintenance services at Urban Orchard Park, demonstrating la'iowledge of the site's stormwater system. * Relevant Experience: Successfully completed similar projects involving stormwater treatment and maintenance for other public agencies.

Rob Houston

SUBJECT- ATTORNEY FEE AGREEMENTS WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL PURPOSE: To approve attorney retainer agreements with the law firms of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore; Aleshire & Wynder; Lewis Brisbois; Rothans, Carpenter & Dumont; and Frost BrownTodd to provide legal services to the City.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving Attorney Retainer Agreement with the law firni of (1) Liebert Cassidy Whitmore; (2) Aleshire & Wynder; (3) Lewis Brisbois: (4) Rothans, Carpenter & Dumont; and Frost Brown Todd LLP to continue to provide legal services to the City related to consulting, representational and legal services and
b. Authorize the City Manager to execute such agreements in a forin acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated impact is dependent on usage, The exact amount of fees to be billed by the law firm is not known at this time, as it depends on the services rendered on an as-needed basis.

Rates offered by each firm are dependent on the frequency of use. Some rates are contemplated to be attributed to special funds that would not impact the City's general fund.

ANALYSIS: The referenced firms are requesting approval of fee rate adjustments to their standard retainer agreements, as follows: Aleshire requests rates ranging from $258 for Associates and $297 for Partners and lower rates for law clerks, paralegals and document clerks. The firin correctly notes that its rates are below market rates. Liebert Cassidy seeks rates of $475 senior partners, Senior Counsel at $390, and associates at between $295-$370. The firm seeks other lower rates for staff as noted in its agreement. Lewis Brisbois seeks rates of $325 for partners, and $275 for associates, and lower rates for other staff. Carpenter Rothans seeks rates of $325 for partners, and $275 associates.

Depending on each specific firm, these rates would become effective as of July 1, 2025, and be subject to adjustment as of July 1, 2025.

Frost Brown Todd requests a flat retainer of $22,500 per month for work perfonned by the City Attorney, including time spent attending City Council meetings, attending meetings, reviewing agenda bills and overseeing the work processed by the City Attorney. This is in line with prior expenditures for similar scopes of work and is intended to assist the City with financial planning. The firm seeks 311
rates of $360 for partners, $340 for associates, and $200 for paralegals for litigation and transaction work. These rates would not become effective until January 1, 2026.

The firm would anticipate seeking a 4% increase on January 1, 2027, and 2028. The deferral of any increase until January 1 is intended to delay increases in rates that would have occurred July 1, 2023. The increases for the Rothans Carpenter and Frost Brown Todd firi'ns would be the subject of letter agreements to be executed by the City Manager.
