The property is located within the Rayo Industrial (Sub-area 2) District as shown in the Cornrnunity Design Element of the General Plan. The property currently has a split-zone with the front portion designated M3 and the rear portion designated IF.
Proiect Ovemiew
* ProiectLocation:9313RayoAvenue
* AsSessor's Parcel Numbers: 6222-005-028 and 6222-005-030 * Commercial Development Resources, Inc., on behalf of Mr. C's Towing of South Gate, Inc., FUBAR Properties LLC.
* General Plan Designation: Rayo Industrial District (Sub-area 2) * Industrial Flex (IF) and Heavy Manufacturing (M3) * Site Characteristics: The subject site measures approximately 99,856 square feet (2.29 acres) and comprises one irregular-shaped parcel having primary frontage along Rayo Avenue. A metal building, approximately 12,550 square feet, remains on the southern portion of the site, along with a storage area, restrooms, and other spaces inside the building. The natural grade slopes towards the southeastern portion of the site. The site is partially paved and fully fenced. There was an approximately 10-foot-tall solid metal fence that spanned along the easterly frontage of the site, which has been removed and replaced with a split-face block wall. The project site is accessed from two driveway aprons on Rayo Avenue.
* Surroundings: Surrounding properties include commercial and industrial uses to the north, east, and west, and a Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) facility to the south. A surface level parking lot is currently being developed directly to the north and west of the subject site and is intended for an Amazon parcel delivery vehicle operation. A metal recycling facility (ELG Metals West Coast Inc.) is located to the east across Rayo Avenue. LAUSD operates a maintenance yard, administrative office, and adult school to the south.
Project Description
The project consists of an Ordinance, amending the citywide Zoning Map of Title 11 (Zoning) of the South Gate Municipal Code ("SGMC"), to change the zoning designation of the rear portion of the property at 9313 Rayo Avenue from IF (Industrial Flex) to M3 (Heavy Manufacturing), to match the current M3 zoning designation of the front portion of the property. The property is located within the Rayo Industrial (Sub- area 2) District as shown in the Community Design Element of the General Plan.
Site improvements were made over the past year to remove an unpermitted fence and replace it with a conforming split-face block wall. The applicant plans to make several other improvements if the Zone Change is approved by the City Council, including installation of a new vehicle storage area (paving and striping), new site lighting, and construction of an approximately 560-square-foot office building so that the site can operate as a tow yard across the entire property. Site improvements would include approximately 2 117

52 cubic yards (CY) of soil cut, all of which is expected to be exported. Construction is expected to last approximately eight (8) months, starting in the first quarter of 2027, until the site is fully operational in the third quarter of 2027.
* Municipal Code Requirements for a Zone Change: Pursuant to Table 11.50-1 (Initiation of Amendments) of SGMC Chapter 11.50.050(B), the City Council, Plaru'iing Commission, or Applicant may initiate a Zoning Map Amendment. In this project, the proposed Zone Change was requested by the Applicant.
Furthermore, pursuant to SGMC Chapter 11.51.030, Table 11.51-1 (Application and Review Authority), the proposed zone change must first be reviewed at a scheduled public hearing before the Planning Commission. Following the hearing, the Plaru'iing Commission shall adopt a Resolution recommending to the City Council approval or denial. The City Council shall then conduct its own public hearing to consider the recornrnendation. If the amendment is approved, the City Council must adopt an Ordinance to finalize the zone change.
History of Land Use and Zoning of Subject Property From 1941 to 1992, the site was occupied by the Cooper Drum Company, which reconditioned steel drums containing industrial chemicals. The property remained vacant for many years due to contamination and has been deemed a Superfund site by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Throughout the years, the site has been partially treated with the installation of test wells and extraction of some chemicals. EPA has continued to oversee cleanup operations conducted by the prior and current property owners. Due to the site's contamination, EPA imposed certain limitations in conducting site improvements and type of land uses/activities permitted withinthe site. The EPA restrictions in combination with the City's Zoning Code have limited the uses/activities and improvements that may be permitted within the subject site.
In 2013, the property lot lines were adjusted to create the current lot configuration consisting oftwo Assessor parcel numbers. Although it consists of two parcel numbers, the site is identified as one legal parcel. At the time, the entire property's zoning designation was "M3" (light manufacturing). Subsequently, the Zoning Code was comprehensively updated in 2015, which resulted in amendments to the Zoning Map. As part of the update, an "IF" zoning district was introduced; however, it was not aligned with the property lines of the subject site. As a result, the property was divided into two zones: the landlocked westerly portion designated IF, and the easterly portion zoned M3.
On December 19, 2024, the City issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO), allowing the applicant to operate a vehicle towing/impounding lot only within the front (easterly) portion of the subject site currently designated M3. The TCO was issued with the understanding the applicant would submit a site plan for review and approval by staff soon after. The TCO was subsequently extended while the Zone Change application was being processed. Pursuant to Table 11.21-4 (Commercial Industrial Zones Allowed Land Uses) of SGMC Section 11.21.030 (Land Use Permission Tables), "vehicle towing/impounding" uses are permitted by-right. The applicant is seeking to expand the business operations and occupy the entire site; however, the rear portion must be re-zoned to M3 to allow the proposed operations. Currently, the rear portion is cordoned off and only the front portion along Rayo Avenue is being utilized for towing and impound operations.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Zoning Map Amendment
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of the rear portion of the property from IF to M3, to match the current M3 zoning designation of the front portion of the property, with the intention to expand the current vehicle towing and impound operations to the remainder of the site. If a zone change is approved, a separate application for Design Review will be required prior to the approval and completion of any site improvements necessary to accomn"iodate the business expansion. The Design Review process must be completed before the issuance of a business license or Certificate of Occupancy for the expanded operations.
Design Review is an administrative (staff level) process that does not require a public hearing.
Pursuant to SGMC Section 11.22.060, the purpose of the IF zone is to continue the industrial job base in the area, while allowing flexibility to incorporate a mix of uses and job options, supporting innovative industry and living options in close proximity to transit, existing employment centers, and major corridors.
Furthermore, pursuant to SGMC Section 11.24.060, light and heavy manufacturing (M2 and M3) zones are intended to implement the manufacturing/distribution place type designation of the General Plan. These zones include uses such as industrial, manufacturing, large-scale warehouse, distribution, or logistics facilities. The M3 zone provides dedicated locations for the preservation and development of commercial and industrial activities.
Properties along Rayo Avenue, between Firestone Boulevard and Southern Avenue, are currently designated M3 and predominantly occupied by industrial uses, with the exception of the LAUSD facility to the south of the project site at 5115 Southern Avenue, which is designated IF. The front portion of the subject site, which abuts Rayo Avenue, is also designated M3, aligning with the zoning of most properties along the street. Therefore, maintaining this M3 zoning designation is appropriate to ensure continued compatibility with existing and future industrial uses on adjacent properties. The rear portion of the site is designated IF and shares boundaries with other IF-designated parcels that front Atlantic Avenue. The proposed zone change for the rear portion of the site supports this zoning pattern and reinforces consistency along Atlantic Avenue. Furthermore, the change would facilitate future development that aligns with surrounding uses.
Environmental Review
The proposed Zone Change constitutes a "project" under the California Environmental QualityAct (CEQA).
The City of South Gate is the LeadAgency, and an Initial Study (IS) was prepared by EcoTierra Consulting, Inc. in July 2026 to determine whether the Zone Change and the related site improvements could result in significant effects on the environment. The Initial Study evaluated all twenty CEQA environmental topic areas, including aesthetics, air quality, biological and cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise, public services, transportation, tribal cultural resources, utilities, and wildfire.
The analysis considered not only the map amendment itself but also the physical improvements the applicant proposes if the Zone Change is approved - paving and striping of a new vehicle storage area, new site lighting, and construction of an approximately 560-square-foot office building - along with approximately 52 cubic yards of soil cut, all of which would be exported, and roughly eight months of construction actiyity begiru"iing in the first quarter of 2027.

Basis for Environmental Concern.
As described in the Background section above, the site was used for drum recycling and reconditioning operations from the 1940s until 2003 and has been listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the Superfund National Priorities List. Known soil and groundwater contamination remains, and EPA continues to oversee cleanup activities at the site. The Initial Study therefore focused on whether ground-disturbing activities associated with the proposed site improvements could expose workers, the public, or the environment to hazardous materials, or degrade water quality.
Findings.
The Initial Study determined that the project would result in no impact or a less-than-significant impact in all environmental topic areas except Hazards and Hazardous Materials and Hydrology and Water Quality, which were found to be potentially significant unless mitigated. Because these two areas could be reduced to a less-than-significant level through mitigation, the corresponding Mandatory Findings of Significance were likewise identified as potentially significant unless mitigated. No mitigation was required in any other topic area.
Mitigation Measure.
One mitigation measure was identified, which addresses both areas of potential impact:
* MM-HAZ-1: Prior to commencement of any on-site grading, a Focused Soil Management Plan ("SMP") shall be approved in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), U.S. EPA, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB). The SMP shall establish procedures for managing soil disturbance activities associated with the proposed site improvements based on existing soil data, and shall define protocols for addressing previously unknown soil impacts encountered during construction. The SMP shall provide guidance for work in areas of known contamination and outline contingency measures if previously unidentified hazardous materials or subsurface features (such as underground storage tanks, sumps, clarifiers, or septic tanks) are encountered. The SMP shall also address soil management, movement, temporary storage, and disposal associated with site improvement activities.
Conclusion of Enyironmental Review.
With incorporation of MM-HAZ-1, all potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less-than- significant levels. Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared rather than an Environmental Impact Report, consistent with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The IS/MND was circulated for a public review and cornrnent period beginning July 24, 2026, and ending August 24, 2026, and notice was published online and in the South Gate Press. Prior to taking action on the Zone Change, the City Council must first consider and adopt the IS/MND. 5 120

CONCLUSION:
Based on the above analysis, staff has determined the proposed Zone Change will maintain consistency with the General Plan. The amendment supports the community's long-term vision by promoting orderly development, aligning land use designations with current needs, and ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Zone Change request.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT N0. 1 TO CONTRACT N0. 2025-04-CC WITH GO2ZER0 STRATEGIES, LLC., TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF WORK AND INCREASE
COMPENSATION
PURPOSE: Approve AtnendtnentNo. 1 to ContractNo, 2025-04-CC with Go2Zero Strategies to provide additional services funded through the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program.
RlCOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving AmendmentNo. 1 to Contract No. 2025-04-CC with Go2Zero Strategies, LLC, to provide additional specialized services needed to comply with SB 1383 requirements, in an amount not-to-exceed $206,441;

Total $282,330 $206,441 $488,771
ANALYSIS: SB 1383 requires cities to reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfills. It also requires cities to conduct public outreach, inspect businesses, maintain records, report compliance activities, enforce requirements, and support edible food recovei"y programs.
To help the City of South Gate (City) meet these requirements, California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) awarded the city $247,931 throughthe SB 1383 I
142
Local Assistance Grant Program. Of this amount, $24,793 has been reserved for eligible city staff salaries and $16,697 for community marketing and outreach efforts, leaving $206,441 available for additional eligible SB 1383 activities.
Staff recommend using the remaining $206,441 to expand the existing contract with Go2Zero Strategies, LLC (Go2Zero). Public Works does not have sufficient staff capacity to complete all required outreach, inspections, reporting, and other grant-funded activities before the grant deadline while continuing to perfornn its regular duties. Go2Zero already provides SB 1383 consulting services to the city and is familiar with the City's programs and compliance needs.
Expanding the existing contract will allow the work to proceed without the time and expense of selecting and bringing a new consultant up to speed.
Amendment No. 1 will add to the services described in Exhibit A and increase the contract by an amount not to exceed $206,441. All services provided under the amendment must be eligible for reimbursement under the CalRecycle SB1383 Local Assistance Grant. Go2Zero will be paid only for eligible work, completed and properly invoiced. No General Fund money will be used. Any grant funds not used by the November 2026 deadline must be returned to CalRecycle.
The amendment is separate from Go2Zero's existing three-year contract in the amount of $282,330. All other terms and conditions of the existing contract will remain unchanged. Approval of Amendment No. 1 will allow the City to complete the grant-'[unded work on time and continue meeting its SB 1383 requirements.
BACKGROUND: Senate Bill (SB) 1383, enacted in 2016, established statewide requirements to reduce organic waste sent to landfills and increase the recovery of edible food. The regulations implementing SB 1383 took effect on January 1, 2022.
To help local agencies comply with these requirements, CalRecycle provided the city with one- time grant funding for approved activities. The city received the funding in two allocations totaling $247,931.
On January 14, 2025, the City Council approved Contract No. 2025-04-CC with Go2Zero Strategies, LLC, for an amount not to exceed $282,330 over a three-year term. The contract provides specialized solid waste management services, including regulatory compliance, program management, edible food recovery, public outreach, capacity planning, and required recordkeeping and reporting.
As the City implemented its SB 1383 programs, staff identified additional grant-eligible work that was not included in the original contract. Amendment No. l adds compliance assistance, public education and outreach, edible food recovery support, equipment distribution, a recordkeeping system, and grant administration support. These services will build upon Go2Zero's existing work and help the City complete the approved grant activities within the required timeframe.

For the Regular Meeting of: September 8, 2026

SUBJECT: RATIFICATJON OF AN ACRF,EMT.Yt' WtTH ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., FOR CROSSING GUARD SERVICES, AND APPROVAL OF A
RELATED BUDGE,T AMENDMENT
PURPOSE: ToratifyanagreementwithAllCityManagementServices,Inc.,forCrossingGuard Services at 17 school crossing locations, and to appropriate funds for the agreement, The service provides for the safety of students, parents, and staff walking to and from school by staffing designated intersections during peak periods of pedestrian activity.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will considet:
a. Ratifying an Agreement with All City Management Services, Inc, ("ACMS"), for crossing guard services for a term of August 31, 2026, through December 18, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $153,400; and
b. Approvingabudgetamendmentappropriating$153,400fromtheGeneralFundBudget Stabilization Reserve to account 100-505-21-6109 in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: The not-to-exceed cost of the agreement is $I53,400, That figure reflects 17 crossing locations staffed approximately three hours per day across approximately 76 instructional days, for a total of 3,864 service hours at the contract rate of $39.70 per hour, ACMS increased its hourly rate from $34,80 in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to $39.70 in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, an increase of 14,lpercent. ACMS attributes the increase to rising wages and operating costs.
Funds for crossing guard services were not included in the FY2026-2027 budget because the program was eliminated as part of citywide budget reductions, Approval of this item therefore requires a new appropriation. Staff recommend funding the appropriatiori from the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve.
The Budget Stabilization Reserve balance is currently $1,518,527. Appropriating $153,400 would reduce the balance to $1,365,127, a reduction of 10.1 percent of the Budget Stabilization Reserve. 172
The City Council should be aware of the trade-off this action presents. Crossing guard service is a recurring operating cost, and reserves are one-time money. Using reserves to fund recurring costs reduces the City's capacity to absorb future revenue shortfalls or emergencies, and it does not resolve the underlying structural gap that led to the program's elimination. Staff is presenting this option because the Council has directed the restoration of service.
For context, the prior program covered 37 locations at an annual cost of approximately $750,000.
Continuing the reduced 1 7-location program through a 'full school year is not currently budgeted for the spring semester.
BACKGROUND: Since August of 1994, the City has contracted with All City Management Services, Inc., to provide crossing guard services throughout the City. The decision to contract this operation was based on cost savings and increased operational services. Before the contract, the Police Department was responsible for staffing crossing locations when a crossing guard could not fill a shift, and a sworn officer was often pulled from patrol to provide coverage. Contracting the service transfers that staffing responsibility to the vendor. The Police Department has been satisfied with the services ACMS provides.
The crossing guard program was eliminated effective July 1, 2026, as part of citywide budget reductions, and the ACMS agreement was not renewed for the 2026-2027 school year. Staff approached the school district regarding shared funding of the program. The district declined to contribute.
The agreement term runs from August 31, 2026, the first day of the school year, through December 18, 2026, the start of the winter break.
At its meeting on August 25, 2026, the City Council directed the City Manager to move forward expeditiously in executing an agreement with ACMS so crossing guards could be deployed as soon as possible for student safety. The Council specifically asked that the executed agreement return for ratification and directed that execution not be delayed until the September 8, 2026, meeting because doing so would postpone deployment past the start of the school year.
Consistent with that direction, the agreement was executed on August 31, 2026, with the signature of the Mayor. The City Attorney has approved the agreement as to form. Crossing guard services began on August 31, 2026, and are currently being provided. Ratification confirms and adopts the execution of the agreement retroactive to the start of the term, and the accompanying budget amendment provides the appropriation necessary to pay for the services.

Section 326), without significant environtnental impacts as defined by the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"); and
h. Approving the Notice of Exemption for Phase V of the Residential Resurfacing Project and directing the City Clerk to file it with the Los Angeles County Registrar- Recorder/County Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. The proposed Agreement is in the amount of $2,392,979, and Contract Change Order No. 1 is for an amount not-to-exceed $1,500,000. The proposed budget is $4,596,417, and it is funded with $3,386,417 in SB I Funds budgeted in the FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program, $960,000 in CDBG Funds, $200,000 in Measure R Funds, and $50,000 in Proposition C Local Return Funds. The proposed Project budget is siunrnarized below, with the detailed funding plan provided in Attachment "E." Planned F,xpenditures Amount
Original Construction Contract - Base Bid and Pickleball Alternate $2,392,979 Contract Change Order No. 1- Additional Streets (Not-to-Exceed) $1,500,000 Inspection, CM/Geotechnical Testing, and City Staff $356,000 Construction Contingency Reserve $347,438
Total $4,596,417
ANALYSIS: The proposed Agreement was procured through a competitive bidding process. On August 27, 2026, the City Clerk received and publicly opened three bids, with AAA submitting the lowest bid. The bid documents required contractors to submit a "Revised Base Bid No. 1" for the proposed street improvements and an "Alternate Bid" for the construction of pickleball courts. The bid documents further specified that the lowest bidder would be determined based solely on Revised Base Bid No. 1. Accordingly, AAA was determined to be the lowest bidder.
AAA's original bid was $2,280,934. During staff's routine bid verification, mathematical errors were identified in AAA's bid calculations. In accordance with the bid requirements, staff corrected the bid using AAA's submitted unit prices, resulting in a revised "Revised Base Bid No. 1" amount of $2,233,666. The revised bid was lower than the original bid, thus, the correction did not affect the bid ranking, and AAA remained the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
The following table summarizes the bids received.

Contract Change Order No. l- Additional Street Improvements The Project was budgeted based on the Engineer's Estimate of $3.46 million, prepared prior to bidding. When bids were opened, the lowest bid came in significantly under budget, resulting in more than $1.1 million in available Project funding. Given the favorable unit prices received through the competitive bidding process, it is financially advantageous to use the available Project funding to complete additional street improvements at the same competitive prices. This allows the City to rehabilitate more streets with funding already budgeted for the Project, maximizes the value of the existing construction contract, and avoids the additional costs and delays associated with advertising and awarding a separate future project. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the City Council approve Contract Change Order No. 1 in an amount not-to- exceed $1,500,000. The additional 'Junding would be used to rehabilitate and slurry seal additional streets throughout the City. The specific streets and project limits are currently being identified by the Public Works Department; however, it is anticipated that approximately 13 additional streets will receive improvements. The streets are identified in Attachment "A." The final list of streets to be improved will be based on actual construction costs and may therefore be expanded or reduced accordingly.
Appropriating $960,000 in Community Development Block Grant Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds recently became available to the City and must be fully expended by December 15, 2026. The City has programmed $960,000 of these funds for use on Phase V of the Residential Resurfacing Project. The CDBG fiinds will be used to construct street improvements on Elizabeth Avenue, Virginia Avenue, Madison Avenue, Cypress Avenue, South Gate Avenue, and Minnesota Avenue, as well as to convert an existing tennis-court area at South Gate Park into eight pickleball courts. These improvements have been incorporated into the Project scope. Accordingly, staff is requesting that the City Council appropriate $960,000 in CDBG funds to the Project so the funds can be used for these improvements within the required expendihire deadline.
Construction Contingency and City Manager Change Order Authority Finally, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders within the $250,000 construction contingency, exclusive of Contract Change Order No. 1. This authority will allow necessary field changes, quantity adjustments, and other unforeseen work to be addressed promptly during the 80-working-day construction period without delaying the Project. All approved change orders will be reported to the City Council at Project closeout.
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program includes funding for Phase V of the Citywide Residential Resurfacing Project. The Project will rehabilitate deteriorated residential streets, and construction the conversion of a tennis-court area into eight pickleball courts at South Gate Park. The proposed project improvement are denoted on Attachment "B."
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the Project is categorically exempt under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1(c), because it consists of rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing streets, sidewalks, gutters, drainage facilities, and similar existing facilities. The Project has also been identified as 3 194
categorically excluded under 23 U.S.C. Section 326 without significant environmental impacts as defined by NEPA.
All American Asphalt is a California corporation based in Corona and holds California Contractor License No. 267073 and DIR Public Works Contractor Registration No. 1000001051.

SUBJECT: AGRF,EMENT WITH 05DUFFY BRnTHF,RS mc., FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE III OF THF, WATER W REPLACEMENT PROJECT, CITY PROJECT N0. 702-WTR
PTJRPOSE: To award a construction services agreement to O'Duffy Bros Inc. for the constniction of Phase In of the Water Main Replacement Project, RECOMMF,NDED ACTTONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving an Agreetnent with O'Duffy Brothers Inc, (O>Duffy), for the construction of Phase m of the Water Main Replacement, City Project No. 702-WTR,, in an amount not- to-exceed $4,454,728;

The total funding required for the project is $5,521,728. The adopted FY 2026-27 Public Works Operating Budget includes $4,060,198 in Water Funds for the project; therefore, an additional Water Fund appropriation of $1,461,530 is required to fully fund the Prqiect, as summarized below. - W€t*r(Fiiffids'
Staff Time $75,000

Constuction $4,454,728
Construction Contingency $601,000
Construction Management/ Inspection $201,000
Total Budget $5,521,728

ANALYSIS: The Water Main Replacement Project will replace approximately 8,000 linear feet of aging water mains and install Advanced Meter Reading water meters and related improvements on the West side of the City.
The City advertised the project for construction bids on June 17, 2026, and received seven bids on July 20, 2026, listed here.
Bidder Name Bid
O'Duffy $4,454,711
Williams Pipeline $4,697,722
JA Salazar $5,021,546
Stephen Doreck $5,307,481
Gentry General $5,934,232
Big Ben $6,224,836
Dominguez General $6,523,168
O'Duffy Bros., Inc. submitted the lowest bid at $4,454,711. Following the bid opening, the City received a written protest from Williams Pipeline Contractors, Inc., challenging O'Duffy's bid based on an omitted signature on one page of the bid documents. Furthermore, during its review of the bid, staff also identified an arithmetic discrepancy: O'Duffy's bid listed a total of $4,454,711, while the total calculated from the submitted unit prices and quantities was $4,454,728.
In consultation with the City Attorney's Office, staff deternnined that both the omitted signature and the arithmetic discrepancy constituted minor, waivable irregularities. The bid was otherwise complete, was signed in all other required locations, included a valid bid bond, and demonstrated O'Duffy's intent to be bound by its terms. Neither irregularity compromised the competitive bidding process or provided O'Duf'fy with a competitive advantage, and correction of the arithmetic discrepancy did not alter O'Duffy's status as the lowest bidder. Accordingly, the City denied the bid protest and determined that O'Duffy remains the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff therefore recommend awarding the construction agreement to O'Duffy in an amount not to exceed $4,454,728.
Staff recommend authorizing the City Manager to approve and execute change orders up to a cumulative amount of $601,000 within the approved project budget. Construction projects of this nature may encounter unforeseen subsurface conditions, utility conflicts, quantity adjustments, or other necessary field changes. This authority will allow the City to address such issues promptly, minimize construction delays and associated costs, and maintain the project schedule while ensuring that all change orders remain within the approved budget.
BACKGROUND: The City's water distribution system includes water mains that have reached the end of their use:tul service life and require replacement to maintain the system's reliability and integrity. The City developed the Water Main Replacement Project to address this aging infrastructure through a phased program of improvements.
The current project will enhance the City's water infrastructure on the West side of the City by replacing approximately 8,000 linear feet of aging water mains at the following locations:
2 226
State Street, between Tweedy Boulevard and Southern Avenue Sequoia Drive, between State Street and Elizabeth Avenue Michigan Avenue, between Elizabeth Avenue and California Avenue * Elizabeth Avenue, between Michigan Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive * Dolores Avenue, between Seminole Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive * Meadows Avenue
In addition to replacing the water mains, the project includes installing Advanced Meter Reading water meters, valves, fittings, service laterals, fire hydrants, and other related water-system improvements. These improvements are intended to reduce the potential for water-main failures, improve system reliability, and support the continued delivery of safe and dependable water service to residents and businesses.
Pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this project is categorically exempt under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15301, Class I(c) exemption for replacement of existing utility infrastructure Construction is anticipated to begin in November 2026 and be completed by February 2027.

I, the undersigned certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that or entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor's license as set fortli below:
Business & Professions Code {§ 7028.15:
It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency in order to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor with in this state without haviug a }icense therefor, except in any of the following cases:
The person is particularly exempted from this chapter.
The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] ofthe Public Contract Code. b. If a person has been previously convicted of the offense desctibed in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which tlie unlicensed pet'son performed contracting work or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or botli.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, "the price of the contract" for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
C. This section shall not applyto ajointventure license as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time ofmaking a bid as a joint venture each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his or her individual licensure. d. This section shall not affect the right or liability of a ltcensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices. e, Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered non-responsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the forgoing exceptions applies, a local publtc agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing apurchase order, verify thatthe contractorwas properly licensed whenthecontractorsubmittedthebid. N'otwithstandinganyotherprovisionoflaw, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to P - 20

The amount of civi) penalties, appeal, and fuiality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to thts chapter is void.
f. Any compliance or non compliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, sliall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a ptiblic agency during wl'iic)i time that subdivision was in effect. g.
