Would like to see everyone work together because Tracy is better when you do.
Karen Moore shared concerns about the decisions that will be made as a new Council regarding the City’s constitution for land use and land development. Ms. Moore spoke about the apartment complex on Valpico, Eleassia Davis and Alice English were against it and Rickman voted against it in 2019 and now because it is low to moderate income Council is overriding Planning Commission since these things are not in the General Plan and urged Council to read the General Plan.

These plans will guide and assist in the vision of the community and will grow reflecting community values and shape the future.
Heather Smiddy shared that during the pandemic the downtown community came together, business owners and community saw a problem, faced it and fixed it together without Council support. Ms. Smiddy expressed her disappointment with Council conduct and encouraged Council to take a note from your downtown community and stand up for each other and have each other’s backs. It would benefit the City that this start tonight and carry through to the end of your term.

Midori Lichtwardt shared that the Brichetto site was at one point considered as a potential overflow site but ended up being able to fit more units on to the existing Arbor Road site so there was no need to use the Brichetto site and she shared the number of units at the Arbor Road site and that at this time it is close to capacity and that by January the estimate is about 89 beds.
Council Member Bedolla moved that staff under the shelter emergency immediately follow up on helping our City’s displaced residents at Arnulfo Plascencia Fields and any other hotspot site where encampments are located or growing due to the changes at El Pescadero Park.

Council questions and comments followed.
Bijal Patel, City Attorney responded to Mayor Pro Tem Davis’s question regarding information related to the validity of Valley Link being a Mayoral appointment stating she has been in communication with the outside Counsel for Valley Link and also got a copy of the By-laws as well as the State Enabling Legislation. For clarity the legislation notes the member agencies would have appointments to the Valley Link Board and it says that those directors are to be appointed by the Governing Board/Mayor or Supervisor of each entity. That language is flexibly noting these are all differently formed entities and is recognizing the entities may have their own processes. Section 2.4 of the Council Code of Conduct governs how this Council body appoints its members to the different committees whether they are Council formed advisory boards/commissions or committee or third-party committees and they need to be approved by a majority of the Council.
Council Member Arriola asked if our protocols are in contrast with State Law would not the State Law be the fulfilling agency by which we would have to comply.
Ms. Patel referred to the State Enabling Legislation, it’s not dictating how the local entity appoints, it is indicating they can be appointed in one of those three forms by the Mayor, Supervisor or governing board. These are all special districts which had its own set of enabling legislation and other special districts and enabling means it’s the actual legislation that was adopted by the State Legislature when those special districts were formed. Ms. Patel explained she reached out to outside Valley Link Counsel who indicated that this is the Regular Meeting Minutes 9 January 17, 2023
language, but suggested the City have clarity in any resolution adopted by this Counci
l as to who is the appointed member by this Council as well as the alternate. It is not inconsistent with the State Enabling Legislation for Valley Link Board.
Counci
l comments continued.
ACTI
ON: Motion was made by Council Member Bedolla and seconded by Council Member Evans to appoint Mayor Pro Tem Davis and Council Member Bedolla to the Tracy Homelessness Advisory Committee and appoint Council Member Bedolla as the representative and Council Member Arriola as the alternate to East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) and Council Member Bedolla as representative and Mayor Pro Tem Davis as alternate to Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority (Valley Link).

Young made a substitute motion to approve the slate as presented with fill ins that have already been done and then fill in section by section with the vacancies. There was no second for the motion.

Roll call found Council Members Bedolla, Evans and Mayor Pro Tem Davis in favor. Council Member Arriola opposed.
Mayor
Young requested to invoke suspending the item at this time.
Ms.
Patel responded there is a motion on the floor that has already started counting and needs to be finalized as the final voting did not occur.
Mayor
Young responded it can be suspended at any time.
Ms.
Patel confirmed with Mayor Young that she was referencing the Rules of Procedure and requested a pause in the meeting to research and understand the authority by which the Mayor may suspend the item.
Mayor
Pro Tem Davis called for a break at 8:36 p.m.
Regular Meeting Minutes 10 January 17, 2023
Mayor Pro Tem Davis reconvened the meeting at 8:42 p.m.
Ms. Patel confirmed that Mayor Young can make a motion to table any item however there is a timing requirement. The voting process for the motion on the floor has to be completed. After the voting has been completed a motion can be made and could be heard if there is a second to the motion. The current motion cannot be stopped because the voting has already started and needs to be finished in terms of voting.
Mayor Young asked Council to reconsider and bring back the item in its entirety and bring it all back together as it should be.
Ms. Patel reiterated the motion has already been approved and there is the majority vote, but it needs for formality to finish the full roll call vote and then that motion gets passed and in order to change the occurrence you have to do a motion for reconsideration.
Mayor Young disagreed with the City Attorney and felt Council has the ability to stop it now and bring back the whole item in its entirety because if there is something found legally unstable it would have to come back.
Ms. Patel confirmed Council Member Bedolla’s question regarding the only way a motion to reconsider can be brought up is if the person making the motion is in the affirmative. Mayor Young would have to vote in the affirmative right now to then pursue a course of motion to reconsider.
Ms. Patel clarified the motion made by Council Member Bedolla is being voted on and needs to be completed. After the conclusion of that roll call vote a motion can be made to table the remainder of the item. That motion like any other motion will require a second and under Rosenberg’s Rules that motion to table is just a majority vote not a super majority vote. A motion for reconsideration can only be made by someone who voted for the original motion in the affirmative.
Mayor Young stated she would vote in the affirmative so that she can bring it back for reconsideration. Mayor Young moved that and asked to table the entire item until the next Council meeting when Council can get answers and the correct procedure for this.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked Mayor Young if her vote was in the affirmative in support of Council Member Bedolla’s slate.
Mayor Young confirmed it is in the affirmative so she can technically bring it back.
Ms. Patel stated in order to make this current motion undone a motion needs to be made for reconsideration. That motion for reconsideration needs to be done before the conclusion of this meeting. Ms. Patel believed that separately Mayor Young wished to table the consideration of the remainder of the items and that is definitely a motion that can be made and a second is needed along with a vote.

As a Council we are elected and trusted by citizens, and it is great to have the passion and energy, but it is a disservice and disrespectful to people when actions by Council Members are called in an attempt to sink the ship especially when that charge is a blatant misunderstanding of how City appointments work.

There are eight new portable shelters on site that have been there for a number of weeks. Each have four bedrooms so potentially 42 rooms available.
Also, the day before went to El Pescadero Park and counted approximately 30 tents so Special Meeting Minutes 4 January 30, 2023
about the right number of rooms to get that park cleaned up. Council Member Evans added he came back with list of items remaining to get those units open and houseable and drafted a letter to the City Manager and is hopeful those items are being worked on along with the request that City Council receives an ongoing report every week of all the critical items to get those units into shape so they can be used as housing. Council Member Evans stated he was lucky to be there when the gas generators were being fueled, burning approximately 150 gallons a day of diesel so there is approximately 500 gallons of diesel on site at any given time which is a big environmental risk on site, and he is concerned. There is a possibility of getting electricity out there and the City Manager is in receipt of a company that he knows that can get temporary power on site in an expedited fashion. Looking forward to a staff report on getting those items checked off so we can get the unhoused housed in El Pescadero Park and get the park cleaned up for our kids and move the city forward.
Mayor Young stated she will present her updates at next meeting. Mayor Young stated in the ten years being on the Council she has never not been here in person.

Agenda Item 1.B
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution making findings and re- authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City of Tracy for the period from February 8, 2023 through March 9, 2023 pursuant to the Brown Act.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AB 361 allows legislative bodies to use abbreviated teleconferencing procedures during a declared state of emergency upon the making of required findings. These abbreviated procedures allow a body to conduct remote teleconference meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953 of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code section 54950 – 54963).
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
On March 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Tracy ratified the declaration of an emergency by the City Manager due to COVID-19 in accordance with Chapter 3.26 of the Tracy Municipal Code. The City Council subsequently adopted resolutions with requisite findings authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City of Tracy, including Boards and Commissions, pursuant to AB 361.
While the City has allowed in-person attendance at City Council meetings, the City is experiencing an increase in rates of COVID-19 cases within the County of San Joaquin and amongst the City staff pool. Due to this increase, the City reinstated social distancing protocols at in-person attendance at City Hall and encouraged the use of teleconferencing for City Council meetings.
On January 17, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution 2023-001, which made findings and authorized remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City of Tracy, including Boards and Commissions, for the period of January 17, 2023 through February 15, 2023. In order to maintain compliance with Section 54953(e) of the Ralph M.
Brown Act (Gov. Code section 54950 – 54963) which allows the continued use of teleconferencing, Council must make the required findings and re-authorize remote teleconferencing meetings of the legislative bodies for the City of Tracy.
This item requests that the City Council approve this proposed action for continued compliance with the Brown Act.
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which among other things rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.
Agenda Item 1.B
February 7, 2023
As the Delta variant has surged in California, the Legislature took action to extend the COVID- 19 exceptions to the Brown Act’s teleconference requirements, subject to some additional safeguards. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361, to allow a local agency to use teleconferencing if certain circumstances exist without complying with the Brown Act’s traditional agenda posting, physical access, and quorum requirements for teleconferencing provisions (Attachment A).
The goal of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options” consistent with Executive Order N-29-20. The bill contains an urgency clause, which made the bill effective upon signing with a sunset date of January 1, 2024.
The new Section 54953(e)(1) of the Brown Act, as amended by AB 361, allows legislative bodies to continue to meet via teleconference without complying with the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, but only during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor, in which, 1) state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or 2) the legislative body has determined by majority vote that meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health or safety of the attendees.
A local agency that holds a meeting under these circumstances would be required by AB 361 to follow the steps listed below, in addition to giving notice of the meeting and posting agendas as required under the Brown Act. These additional requirements are intended to protect the public’s right to participate in the meetings of local agency legislative bodies.
Pursuant to AB 361 local agencies are required to do all of the following in addition to meeting notice requirements under the Brown Act:
• Allow the public to access the meeting and require that the agenda provide an opportunity for the public to directly address the legislative body pursuant to the Brown Act’s other teleconferencing provisions.
• In each instance when the local agency provides notice of the teleconferenced meeting or posts its agenda, give notice for how the public can access the meeting and provide public comment.
• Identify and include in the agenda an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call- in or an internet-based service option; the legislative body needs not provide a physical location for the public to attend or provide comments. • Conduct teleconference meetings in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the public.
• Stop the meeting until public access is restored in the event of a service disruption that either prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to the public using the call-in or internet-based service option or is within the local agency’s control and prevents the public from submitting public comments (any actions taken during such a service disruption can be challenged under the Brown Act’s existing challenge provisions).
• Not require comments be submitted in advance (though the legislative body may provide that as an option) and provide the opportunity to comment in real-time. • Provide adequate time for public comment, either by establishing a timed public Agenda Item 1.B
February 7, 2023
comment period or by allowing a reasonable amount of time to comment. • If the legislative body uses a third-party website or platform to host the teleconference, and the third-party service requires users to register to participate, the legislative body must provide adequate time during the comment period for users to register and may not close the registration comment period until the comment period has elapsed.
ANALYSIS
While the City has allowed in-person attendance at City Council meetings, the City is experiencing an increase in rates of COVID-19 cases within the County of San Joaquin and amongst the City staff pool. The San Joaquin County Public Health Services provided an update to the City Council of this situation at the June 7, 2022 meeting. In addition, the Human Resources Department of the City of Tracy has documented an increase in COVID-19 positive test rates amongst City staff in recent weeks. To minimize the exposure to COVID-19 from this recent surge, the City is reinstating social distancing protocols at in-person attendance at City Hall and encouraging the use of teleconferencing for City Council meetings.
Given these changed circumstances created by the increasing rates of COVID-19, the recommendation is that City Council make the following finds by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules.
If Council approves the proposed resolution, staff will present a staff report to Council every thirty days to verify that the circumstances continue to exist.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item relates to the City Council’s Strategic Priorities in the area of Public Safety (Goal #1 Support COVID-19 Public Health Recovery).
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution making findings and re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City of Tracy for the period from February 8, 2023, through March 9, 2023 pursuant to the Brown Act.

Agenda Item 1.C
RECOMMEN
DATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a General Services Agreement with Mountain Cascade, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Filter Valve Replacement for a term of three (3) months and a not to exceed amount of $166,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Proposed improvements under the project include the removal and installation of four (4) tertiary filter valves. The project will improve the efficiency of the tertiary treatment and the City’s ability to effectively and efficiently produce wastewater effluent to meet the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits. This agenda item requests authorization to enter into a General Services Agreement (GSA) with Mountain Cascade Inc., selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to provide such services for a not-to-exceed amount of $166,000.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The City of Tracy wastewater treatment plant receives and treats a daily average of 10 mi
llion gallons per day (MGD) of s ewage. The sewage undergoes several different processes including one of the final processes, which is filtering through eight (8) Tertiary Filters before disinfection and discharge to the delta.
Currently, four (4) of the filter valves have valve seats that are in various stages of failure and do not com
pletely isolate the filters during backwash or when trying to isolate the filters. The ability to isolate the filters is vital in the efficient treatment and operation of the filters to meet our discharge permit requirements.
The removal and installation of four (4) new valves will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the filters and our ability to produce final effluent that meets our NPDES permit requirements.
The scope of work for this project includes the removal and installation of large pneumatic actuators, installation and removal of stop logs to isolate each filter, installation of new stainless steel connecting hardware, and removal and replacement of four (4) new 42” owner supplied butterfly valves. This project will ensure we continue to meet the City’s wastewater discharge permits as efficiently as possible by having tertiary filter val ves that can isolate the filters for proper operation .
ANALYSIS
On October 19, 2022, a Request for Proposal was posted on the City’s website. Three (3) proposals were received on November 10, 2022, for the project. After careful review of the proposals, the City has determined that Mountain Cascade, Inc. demonstrates a high degree of relevant experience and past performance in completing projects of similar type, size, and complexity in a satisfactory manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the agreement with Mountain Cascade in the amount of $166,000 is available in the FY 2022-23 Utilities - Wastewater mai ntenance budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/ INTEREST
No public outreach activity was conducted for this agenda item.

RECOMMENDA
TION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. to perform a high-level analysis of Tracy Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion to 16 million gallons per day for a period of three (3) months and a total not to exceed amount of $110,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed PSA will provide the City with a technical memorandum-review to help determine whether future facilities may be constructed, with relevant costs quantified, wi
thin the existing footprint of the City of Tracy Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) parcel. The memorandum will include conceptual sizing and layout of alternatives, and preliminary life-cycle cost to facilitate alternatives evaluation wi th respect to capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs. This agenda item requests authorization to enter into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. selected through a Request for Proposal process, to provide these services for a not-to-exceed amount of $110,000.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
1. Background
In 2003, the City of Trac
y prepared a Facility Plan and completed
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Regional Board to expand the WWTP capacity from 9 MGD to 16 MGD. This permitted capacity of 16 MGD is based on the available dilution water in the Old River since City’s treated effluent is sent to the Old River. As the City grows, additional treatment capacity will be needed in the future to remain in compliance with said permit.
2. Project
City wis
hes to optimize the use of existing City-owned lands and consider various options including the option to lease a part of the land for beneficial use to groups interested in developing any land available for any given fixed term.
Due to water conser
vation efforts associated with the California drought, solids in the influent loadings to the Tracy WWTP had increased more than 50 percent since the last major expansion in 2004. Therefore, addition of future mechanically intensive basins will be necessary to achieve the desired treatment capacity of 16 MGD at current and future influent loading conditions, even if there were no change in the NPDES permit requirements. Typically, NPDES permit requirements change every 5 or 10 years.
Therefore, any revi
ews of land development options around the WWTP site
need to consider the quantitative analysis of the plant lay-outs for various options, including consideration of process-intensification analyses and the relevant costs for each option.
3. Professional Services Agreement
The proposed PSA w
ill produce a technical memorandum to aid the City in
making an informed decision based on current and future needs of the WWTP.
ANALYSIS
The City of Tracy is in the process of reviewing land development options around the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) site. On November 17, 2022, City requested proposals from professi onal services firms to prepare a scope of work to conduct a high- level
planning analysis to assess expandability of current facilities and consider opportunities for implementation of process-intensification technologies. City received one (1) proposal
on November 30, 2022, from CH2M HILL, Engineers. After review of the proposal, City staff have determined CH2M HILL, Engineers demonstrated a high deg ree of relevant experience and past performance in completing projects for the City in a satisfactory manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The analysis for the WWTP is part of WWTP Expansion Phase II Project (CIP 74107).
Sufficient funds are available in the budget to cover the cost of the Professional Services Agreement with CH2M HILL
for the not to exceed amount of $110,000.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/ INTEREST
No public outreach activity was conducted for this agenda item since the purpose of proposed study is to obt ain information.
CEQA DETERMINATION
This agenda item is exempt from CEQA requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the City’s Quality of Life Strategy and meets the goals of ensuring water quality that meets state and federal requirements to ensure public health and safety.

EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work
The last facility plan update in 2019 showed that influent loadings to the Tracy wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) had increased by more than 50 percent since the last major plant expansion in 2004. A recent cursory review of the data conducted for the NP DES renewal process demonstrated that BOD and SS loadings continue to show an upward trend. Therefore, the addition of future mechanically intensive basins will be necessary to achieve the desired treatment capacity of 16 mgd, at current and future influent loading conditions, and no change in the NPDES permit requirements.
Further, the CITY is in the process of reviewing land development options around the WWTP site.
Therefore, this, High Level Analysis for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion to 16 mgd, shall:
1. Identify process-intensification technologies such as those using various membranes.
2. Produce conceptual treatment facilities layout for future expansion of the WWTP up to 16 MGD capacity.
3. Include capital cost estimates.
4. Ensure that the facilities layout provide adequate spacing of all facilities associated with future liquid treatment train improvements that impact or are impacted by implementation of new biological treatment processes. As such, improvements shall include but not be limited to:
-Equalization Basin
-Primary Effluent pumping
-Biological treatment process facilities, including solids treatment -Air supply system
-RAS and WAS pumping equipment and distribution boxes.
-Storm water storage strategies
The deliverables shall include:
-Preparation of a technical memorandum summarizing the conceptual sizing and layouts of the main equipment associated with at least three alternatives. -Develop a preliminary life-cycle cost to facilitate alternatives evaluation with respect to capital and long-term O&M costs.

Agenda Item 1.E
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with Guidepost Solutions, LLC for the design of the Security System Implementation of the City’s Water Facilities Project (CIP 75169) for a period of five (5) months and a total not-to-exceed amount of $53,290.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In December 2020, a consultant completed a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) of the City’s water facilities and submitted a report to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for certification. The EPA requires that a drinking water municipality design and implement the necessary security measures outlined in the City’s RRA report to protect its water
facilities from malevolent acts and to ensure a safer and more s ecure work environment for its workers. This agenda item requests authorization to enter into a PSA with the most qualified proposer, Guidepost Solutions, selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to provide the essential design services for a not-to-exc eed amount of $53,290.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) requires community water s
ystems that serve more than 3,300 people to complete a Risk Resilience Assessment (RRA). Through a competitive RFP
process, the City hired a Consultant to conduct the
RRA and submit certification of its completion to the U.S. EPA by December 31, 2020.
After
submission of the completed RRA, the EPA requires that the drinking water municipality (City) implement the necessary safety and security measures outlined in the assessment report.
To proceed with next steps, a Request for Proposals for the design of the necessary safety and security measures was posted on the City website on October 19, 2022, and a total of two (2) proposals were received on November 9, 2022.
After careful review of the proposals, the City believes that Guidepost Solutions, LLC demonstrates a higher degree of relevant experience and past performance in completing projects of similar type, size, and complexity in a satisfactory manner.
ANALYSIS
The RRA identified a number of security enhancements that would reduce the threat of potential outside infiltration to the city-wide water distribution network. With the facilities currently having soft external security standards and relative ease of entry, an individual or group could contaminate the water supply of the entire City. Implementation of the recommended safety and security measures, outlined in the RRA report, will greatly reduce such risk.
To provide better security and prevent intrusion, the RRA report identified the following security enhancements:
• upgrade the security fences
• incorporate additional and updated lightings (i.e., LED lighting) • incorporate intrusion technology such as a loud alarm system • install updated camera
s
• update the access control system at the City’s
o water treatment plant
o pump stations
o reservoirs
o well
sites
If approved, Guidepost Solutions, LLC will design the security system in alignment with the security enhancements
identified in the RRA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The design of the Security System Implementation for City’s Water Facilities Project is an approved component of Capital Improvement Program project (CIP 75169). Sufficient funds are available in the budget to cover the cost of the Professional Services Agreement with Guidepost Solutions, LLC for the not to exceed amount of $53,290.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/INTEREST
No public outreach activity was conducted for this agenda item.
COORDINATION
No departments, agencies, and/or consultants, outside of Guidepost Solutions, were consulted with, for this agenda item.
CEQA DETERMINATION
This agenda item is exe
mpt from CEQA requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the City’s Public Safety Strategy and meets the goals to ensure the implementation of robust security infr astructure and intrusion technology.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with Guidepost Solutions, LLC for the design of the Security System Implementation of the City’s Water Facilities Project (CIP 75169) for a period of five (5) months and a total not-to-exceed amount of $53,290.

Agenda Item 1.F
RECOMMEN
DATION
Staff
recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a General Services Agreement with Telstar Instruments for the Programmable Logic Controller and Primary Effluent Pumping Control Upgrade Project for a term of nine (9) months and a total not to exceed amount of $293,250.
EXECUTI
VE SUMMARY
The primary
effluent pump station at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been identified by staff as a critical step in the treatment process that requires additional redundancy to prevent failures. This project will add a redundant Programable Logic Controller (PLC) to the primary effluent pump station located at the WWTP. This new PLC will also serve as a replacement to an older and obsolete PLC that currently provides automation over other plant process equipment. This agenda item requests authorization to enter into a General Services Agreement (GSA) with Telstar Instruments, selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to provide these services for a not-to-exceed amount of $293,250.
BACKG
ROUND AND HISTORY
1. Backgr
ound
The primar
y effluent pump station is the first of three pump stations within the wastewater treatment plant. Unlike the other two pump stations, the primary effluent pump station does not have an upstream storage reservoir where it may divert flow during an emergency period. The pump station is already fed by two different power sources, however, there is only one PLC to operate the pumps.
This project will integrate a second PLC into the pump station that will take over pump station control in the event of a failure of the primary controller. In addition to redundant control, the new PLC installed in this project will replace some obsolete control systems. One control system was installed in 2003 and the other was installed pre-1977. Due to the age of the control system, the electronic monitoring system is currently unable to monitor the pre-1977 pump station at the plant.
2. Projec
t
The scope of w
ork for this project includes the replacement of a PLC; installation of a high-level float, alarm logic, and backup control logic; and update of the WWTP sewer pump control and level transmitter. The project will ensure an increase in reliability of the primary effluent pump station by replacing aging equipment that no longer meet City standards.
ANALYSIS
On October
31, 2022, a Request for Proposal was posted on the City’s website and only one (1) proposal was received on November 29, 2022. After careful review of the Proposal, the City feels that Telstar Instruments demonstrates a high degree of relevant experience and past performance in completing projects of similar type, size, and complexity in a satisfactory manner.
FISCAL IM
PACT
The nine-m
onth Agreement is not to exceed $293,250 and the funding is provided through the Wastewater operating budget in the Wastewater Fund.

Agenda Item 1.G
RECOMMENDAT
ION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the Inspection Improvement Agreement between City and Lennar Homes of California, LLC for Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements at Tracy Hills Phase 2 Frontage.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This item involves the approval of the Inspection Improvement Agreement (IIA) which will allow Lennar Homes of California, LLC (Developer) to proceed at the Developer’s sole and exclusive risk with the construction of the public roadway improvements within and adjacent to T racy Hills Phase 2 known as the Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements at Tracy Hills Phase 2 Frontage (Project), which are ultimately intended to be dedicated to the City, prior to the City Engineer’s formal approval of the improvement plans for the Project.
ANALYSIS
The Project is geographically located within the boundaries of the Tracy Hills Specific Plan Area, which was approved by City Council on April 5, 2016, and is further situated within and along the frontage of that certain tentative map known as Vesting Tentative Map, Tract 4057, Tracy Hills Phase 2, approved by the City Council on October 19, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-154. The Tracy Hills Phase 2 Project is generally bordered by Corral Hollow Road to the east and Int
erstate 580 to the north.
The approval of the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for Tracy Hills Phase 2 by the City Council was subject to specified Conditions of Approval which describe, among other things, improvements that are required for approval of the Final Subdivision Maps pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, the Subdivision Ordinance, and applicable City Standards. The Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements are part of the public improvements that are required to be designed and constructed by the Developer under the Conditions of Approval.
Imp
rovement Plans for the Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements at Tracy Hills Phase 2 Frontage have been prepared on behalf of the Developer and are under review by the City Engineer, with staff having performed multiple review and comment cycles. The partially approved submitted plans and specifications are on file with the City Engineer under Tracking No. ENG22-0006 and include the improvement plans entitled “Improvement Plans, Corral Hollow Road Widening, Phase 2 Frontage.”
In order to meet its development schedule, Developer intends to commence construction of the required public improvements based on the partially approved submitted plans before the City completes its review and approval plans. Approval of the IIA will facilitate Developer’s efforts to meet its development schedule.
Developer acknowledges and agrees that it will be proceeding with the work at its sole and exclusi
ve risk, and that if any of the work completed by Developer does not conform, in the City Engineer
’s determination, to the improvement plans ultimately approved by the City, Developer may be required to remove and/or correct any non-conformities to the reasonable satisfaction of Agenda Item 1.G
February 7, 2023
In an effort to minimize the risk of such non-conformities, the City will periodically inspect Developer’s work in constructing the public improvements shown on the partially approved submitted plans, and will periodically advise Developer whether the work appears to be proceeding in conformance wit
h the partially approved submitted plans.
The Developer will enter into an Offsite Improvement Agreement with the City at a later date.
Staff will return to City Council for approval of the Offsite Improvement Agreement, which will supersede the Inspection Improvement Agreement. Subsequent to the approval of Offsite Improvement Agreement and completion of improvements, acceptance of the public improvements will
proceed in accordance with normal City procedures.
The Developer has executed the Inspection Improvement Agreement and has submitted the required security to
guarantee the completion of the public improvements. The Inspection Improvement Agreement and associated improvement plans are on file with the City Engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact associated with this action. Developer will pay for the cost of plan checking, engineering inspection and processing of the Inspection Improvement Agreement.
PUBLIC OUTREACH /
INTEREST
All public outreach for the Tracy Hills Phase 2 development (notifications, public hearings, etc.) was conducted for the Planning Commission and City Council hearings that were held in October 2021 to
consider the General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment and Vesting Tentative Subdivisi
on Map for the overall project. Additional public outreach specifically for the IIA for the Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements is not required.
COORDINATION
This Staff Report was prepared by the Development Services Department – Engineering Division. No coordination was required with other departments, etc., for the preparation of this report.
CEQA DETERMINATION
An Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the Tracy Hills Specific Plan was certified by the City Council on April 5, 2016. The Corral Hollow Road Widening Improvements are within the scope of the development evaluated
by the existing EIR and therefore no further environmental review is required for the Project under CEQA.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is consistent with the City Council’s approved Economic Development Strategy to ensure that
physical infrastructure necessary for development is constructed. the City Engineer in accordance with the approved plans, at the Developer's sole cost, before the City will approve the temporary or final occupancy of any residence within the first Final Map in Tracy Hills Phase 2.A.

Agenda Item 1.H
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt two resolutions: (1) Approving a Professional Services Agreement with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. for the design of a recycled water booster pump station for the Recycled Water System Expansion Project (CIP 74168) for a term of five (5) months and a not to exceed amount of $1,240,000; and (2) Approving a Professional Services Agreement with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. for the design of recycled water pipelines for the Recycled Water System Expansion Project (CIP 74168) for a term of five (5) months and a not to exceed amount of $1,860,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has awarded an Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant to the City in the amount of $20 million for a Recycled Water System Expansion Project. Proposed improvements under the project include the construction and extension of the recycled water transmission pipeline within the streets right-of-way and the construction of a new booster pump station. Proposed improvements under the project also include the construction and extension of the recycled water transmission pipeline within the streets right-of-way and the construction of a new booster pump station. The project will also increase surface water availability to the City and farmers in both the Trac y Subbasin and southern San Joaquin Valley via the Central Valley Project (CVP) canal. The design of the project is required to be completed no later than July 1, 2023, per the grant agreement between DWR and the City. This agenda item r
equests authorization to enter into two separate PSA’s with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc., for the design of a recycled water booster pump station and recycled water pipelines.
Consultant was selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, to provide such services for a combined not-to-exceed amount of $3,100,000.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
In 2020, the City completed a Recycled Water Project, funded by the State of California Proposition 84 Grant and City funds. The project involved the construction of a recycled water pipeline and pump station as part of the City’s Recycled Water Master Plan. The intent of the project was to replace landscape irrigation within the streets right-of-way, parks, schools and greenbelts from potable water to recycled water. The pump station is situated at the City’s existing wastewater treatment plant. The pipeline starts from this pump station and presently terminates at the southwestern side of the City to supply recycled water for irrigation purposes.
In 2022, DWR awarded an Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant to the City in the amount of $20 million for a Recycled Water System Expansion Project to extend the existing recycled water system to the far southern portions of the City. Th e scope of work for this project includes the construction of the recycled water transmission pipeline within the streets right-of-way and the construction of a new booster pump station. This project w
ill further extend this pipeline to replace use of potabl e water with the tertiary treated recycled for irrigation purposes in the far southern portions of the City. Use of recycled water would thus reduce the City’s potable water demand. In addition, the pipeline system may be used to supply the recycled water to the adjacent Byron Bethany Irrigation District farmers if needed. The City also plans to divert, mix, dilute, deliver, and exchange a portion of the recycled water at the City’s Water Treatment Plant through the Central Valley Project (CVP) for treatment and use equivalent amount of water for potable use.
ANALYSIS
On November 14, 2022, a Request for Proposal was posted on the City website. Only one proposal was received on December 12, 2022, from CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. for the project. After careful review of their proposal, the City has determined that CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. demonstrates a high degree of relevant experience and past performance in completing projects of similar type, size, and complexity in a satisfactory manner.
The fi
rst PSA pertains to the design of a recycled water booster pump station, aimed at boosting the recycled water to the higher elevations within the City, while the second PSA concerns the design of pipelines for the conveyance of the recycled water.
The design of the project is required to be completed no later than July 1, 2023, per the grant agreement between the Department of Water Resources and the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Recycled Water System Expansion (CIP 74168) is an approved project within the FY2022-23 Capital
Improvement Plan. Funding for the project comes from a grant from the Department of Water Resources. Sufficient funding exists to cover the cost of the agreement with CH2M HILL
Engineers, Inc.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/ INTEREST
No public outreach activity was conducted for this agenda item.
COORDINATION
No departments, agencies, and/or consultants, outside of CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc., were consulted with, for this
agenda item.
CEQA DETERMINATION
This agenda item is
exempt from CEQA requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item is consistent with the City’s Quality of Life Strategy and meets the goals to ensure physical infrastructure and systems necessary for the del ivery of safe and clean water.
