Agenda Item 1.H
REQUEST
Staff recommend that the City Council approve the submission of a claim to the San Joaquin Council of Governments for Transportation Development Act funds in the amount of $11,651,948 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the claim.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Tracy (City) receives funds from the Transportation Development Act (TDA) that allow the City to provide transportation services throughout the community. The annual claim is necessary for the City to continue to receive TDA funding from the State through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG). The amount the City will claim for FY 2022-2023 from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance Fund (STA) is $11,651,948.
TDA funds are used for City TRACER operations and capital acquisitions, and pedestrian and bike paths. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the claim for TDA funds for FY 2022-2023 and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the claim.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act (SB 325) was enacted by the California Legislature to improve existing public transportation services and encourage regional transportation coordination. Known as the Transportation Development Act (TDA) of 1971, this law provides funding to be allocated to transit and non-transit related purposes that comply with regional transportation plans.
Under the provisions of the TDA, the City is required to make an annual claim for funds apportioned to the City under the LTF and the STA. This claim is made to the State through the San Joaquin Council of Governments.
TDA funds are used to support the operations of the City’s TRACER bus system, streets and road maintenance, and pedestrian and bike paths. Money for this claim is primarily being used for operational expenses that are not covered by Federal grants, as a funding source for the purchase of new buses, to fund the completion of a Bikeways Master Plan, and to fund bikeways maintenance in various parts of Tracy.
ANALYSIS
The total claim for FY 2022-2023 for LTF is $11,635,580 which includes $234,490 of unexpended carryover from the previous year’s claim. The total claim for FY 2022-2023 for STA is $16,368. The available TDA funding for FY 2022-23 for the City of Tracy to claim under the LTF and STA is $12,936,378. After subtracting out the previous year’s unexpended carryover of $234,490, a total of $11,417,458 will be disbursed to the City Agenda Item 1.H
August 15, 2023
of Tracy. The remaining balance of $1,284,430 will be available to claim in future years for additional transit projects.
The following table illustrates a breakdown of the various TDA claim amounts and purposes for this year’s claim. Submission of this claim is needed in order to receive the necessary funding for continued public transit operations within the City of Tracy.

EXECUT
IVE SUMMARY
Staf
f recommends that City Council adopt a resolution rejecting all bids for the Temporary Emergency Housing Project on Arbor Road, Site Improvements Construction Package 2, CIP 71112, received on October 19, 2022, and authorizing staff to re-advertise the project.
BACK
GROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
On Sep
tember 1, 2020, Council authorized the creation of a Capital Improvement Project for the Temporary Emergency Housing Project on Arbor Avenue, CIP 71112, to create a safe and dignified facility for residents experiencing homelessness.
The pro
ject was divided into a Site Preparation phase (Phase 1) of demolition, rough grading and installation of underground utilities, and a Site Improvements phase (Construction Package 2) of full site construction and development that required the work of the design consultant, The KPA Group, LLC (Consultant).
The Sit
e Preparation Work (Phase 1) has been completed.
The second
construction contract for Site Improvements (Construction Package 2) was advertised for competitive bids on June 8, 2022, June 10, 2022, and June 15, 2022. Bids were received and publicly opened in Room 203 and online via video conference call at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20, 2022. Only one bid from Gowan Construction, Inc., of Tracy, California was received. Upon conducting a bid analysis, City staff determined that the bid was nonresponsive.
As
a result, Resolution No. 2022-120 was adopted by Council on August 16, 2022, thereby (1) rejecting the sole, nonresponsive bid, and (2) authorizing City staff to re-advertise the project.
The Sit
e Improvements (Construction Package 2) was re-advertised for bids on September 12th, 16th, and 23rd of 2022. The Construction Package 2 Bid documents were restructured to include a Base Bid plus four (4) Additive Bid Items (ABIs). The Base Bid + ABI 1 was determined to provide the minimum elements necessary for a safe facility. The low bidder was determined by the lowest combined bid for the Base Bid + ABI 1. Bids were received and publicly opened via online video conference call at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, with the following results:
Contractor Base Bid + ABI-1
GradeTech, Inc. $ 6,868,531
Diede Construction, Inc. $ 8,348,822
DL Falk Construction $ 8,570,378
Gowan Construction $ 8,586,700
Agenda Item 1.J
August 15, 2023
ANALYSIS
The bids received exceeded the Engineer’s Estimate, for both the Base Bid + ABI 1 (used to determine the low bidder) and the Base Bid + All AB I’s. The low bidder was 16% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate, and the three other bids were 35-45% higher. The City did not award a construction contract because the bi ds e xceed available funding.
Staff and the design team have been evaluating revisions to the contract requirements, bid items, unit price formats, and Engineer’s Estimate so that readvertisement of the p roject will produce bid submittals that are within the appropriated funding. Additional research about current material delivery times and impacted suppl y chains has been conducted, and some long lead time electrical items have been contracted out sepa rately, removing some of the risk that Contractors relayed to staff that they felt was present in the previous construction package.
FI
SCAL IMPACT
The bids received exceeded available funding for the Temporary Emergency Housing Project, CIP 71112. Rejection of the bids will allow staff and the design t eam to make revisions that will allow future readvertisement of the project to produce results that stay within the funds available.
CEQA DETERMINATION
A Notice of Exemption was issued on October 16, 2020, for the Temporary Emergency Housing site at 500 Arbor Avenue in accordance with Government Code sections 65660 -65662 for Low Barrier Navigation Centers and Section 15269c) of the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal Code Regs. 15269(c) for (Emergency Projects).
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item supports the City of Tracy’s Public Saf ety Strategic Priority and aids in Goal 2, “Implement the Adopted Homelessness Strategic Plan.”
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL

BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Leprino
Foods Company is located at the corner of Grant Line Road and MacArthur Drive, adjacent to the Project. They have great concern for pedestrian safety when crossing the intersection into oncoming traffic without proper traffic control. Due to these safety concerns, the City of Tracy Traffic Engineering staff studied the traffic and pedestrian traffic and came up with a design for the intersection that would resolve the safety issue. The studies resulted in the need to install pedestrian-only traffic control on the traffic signal heads along with a fence that would restrict crossing the road in places other than at the intersection.
City
staff worked with a consultant, Advanced Mobility Group, to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimates. The Project was advertised for competitive bids on January 21, 2022, and January 28, 2022. Bids were received and publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2022. The City Manager approved and awarded a construction contract on June 15, 2022, to DV Electric, Inc., of San Jose, California in a not-to-exceed amount of $127,650, for the construction of the Improvements for the Project. No change orders were issued for this project.
ANALYSIS
The Proj
ect work included the installation of activated LED blank-out signs on traffic signals, the installation of fencing along the median, and the installation of signage and striping at the intersection of Grant Line Road and MacArthur Drive.
The Contra

Agenda Item 1.L
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution: (1) Accepting the Board of State of Community Corrections Officers Wellness and Mental Health Grant in the amount of $73,718; (2) Appropriating the grant funding of $73,718 to the Police Department’s operational budget; (3) Approving a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Sigma Wellness, LLC (Sigma) for advanced preventative medical screenings for Tracy Police Department’s first responders, for a term of 12 months, with a not-to-exceed amount of $105,000; and (4) Determining that waiving the competitive bidding process to award the PSA to Sigma is in the best interest of the City, pursuant to 2.20.140(b)(6) of the Tracy Municipal Code.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This staff report is to provide background information supporting a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Sigma Wellness, LLC (Sigma) for advanced preventative medical screenings for the Tracy Police Department’s first responders, including sworn personnel and public safety dispatchers. The City received a grant from the Board of State of Community Corrections Officers Wellness and Mental Health in the amount of $73,718.
Staff requests this funding be appropriated to the Police Department’s operational budget, and this funding will partially cover the cost of the proposed PSA with Sigma.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
In accordance with Assembly Bill 178, Chapter 45, Statues of 2022, Item 5227-121-0001, funding is available to all city and county law enforcement agencies employing officers described in 830.1 of the
Penal Code. The funding was directly distributed to California cities
for this purpose and not the result of a competitive process for improving officer wel
lness and expanding mental health sources to include, establishing officer wellness units or expanding existing officer wellness units, establishing peer support units or expanding peer support units, services provided by licensed mental health professional, counselor, or other professional that works with law enforcement, expanding multiagency mutual aid programs focused on officer wellness and mental health, and other programs or services that are evidence based or have successful track record of enhancing officer wellness.
As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 178 Chapter 45, Statues of 2022, Item 5227- 121-0001, the State of California distributed funds to each city based on a predetermined formula. The City of Tracy Police Department was granted $73,718.
In keeping in alignment with the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, published in 2015, the Tracy Police Department has placed significant emphasis on recognizing and maintaining the health and wellness of its employees. The department’s strategic priorities include advanced training, technology, and wellness, with a specific focus on the physical and psychological wellness of its first responders.
A PSA with Sigma will provide cardiovascular and metabolic screening to Tracy Police Department’s Sworn Police Officers and Public Safety Dispatchers at a rate of $799 per person and includes:
• Active 12-L ead Electrocardiogram (EKG) – Conducted on -site, elucidates any abnormal electrical activity in cardiac tissue which could be specific to heart disease. • Cardiometabolic
Test includes report, follow up clinician consult, and dietary companion.
• Limited
carotid artery ultrasound of intima media thickness (CIMT). • Comprehensive clinician consult - 20 minute consult that ties together 12-Lead EKG, CIMT Ultrasound and advanced lipid profile.
• Advanced lipid profile – Comprehensive panel including, complete blood count, cardio
-inflammatory markers, comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid assay, PSA where appropriate.
• On
Site Phlebotomy – On site team of professional phlebotomists will conduct blood draws in a safe, comfortable, and professional environment to ensure the highest quality and
patient confidentiality.
• Exercise and Dietary consultation.
The term of the PSA is 12 months, for a not to exceed amount of $105,000, to provide sufficient time for Sigma to conduct the screening of approximately 130 sworn police officers and public safety dispatchers, and for the department to perform progress checks with participating employees to determine if services assisted with their health and wellbeing.
ANALYSIS
The Tracy Police Department learned of Sigma from a neighboring law enforcement agency (Livermore PD). In speaking with staff at Sigma, staff learned that police officers and police dispatchers are inherently at a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes compared to the general public. The average age for a police officer to have a heart attack is 46 years old. Also, police officers suffer from obesity, diabetes and hypertension at rates much higher than the general public. For example, the obesity rate for a police officer is 28% higher than the general public.
In learning the above health risks for police officers and dispatchers, the police department understood the importance of plugging into a comprehensive cardiac screening evaluation along with an individualized nutritional and exercise program.
Sigma would provide every police officer and dispatcher with the cardiac screening and individual nutritional and exercise program.
Sigma provides onsite screening and individual meetings with the police officers and dispatchers. The process is as follows: on-site bloodwork collection, carotid ultrasound, review of individual’s medical history and vital signs, cardio-metabolic stress test (exercise test on a stationary bike) followed up with exercise/dietary consultation and medical consultation (review of medical diagnostics, lab data, ECG interpretation and carotid ultrasound evaluation) with a medical professional.
Agenda Item 1.L
August 15, 2023
The process is one hundred percent voluntary and confidential for every police officer and dispatcher.
The police department
would like to partner with Sigma as they support the Department’s efforts to improve wellness through comprehensive health screening and because of their long-standing relationship with public safety and their ability to bring their program directly to Tracy PD. In other similar programs, police officers and dispatchers have to go to a hospital or clinic for this type of medi cal screening. Also, the medical screening process provided by Sigma i s mo re comprehensive than the standard physical a police officer or dispatcher receives annually from their primary doctor.
The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, published in 2015, reports that law enforcement agencies should promote safety and wellness at every leve l of the organization.
The report’s recommendations related to Officer Wellness and Safety state that agencies should focus on strategies in several areas including physical, mental, and emotional health. According to the report, “the most important factor to consider when discussing wellness and safety is the culture of law enforcement, which needs to be transformed.
Support for wellness and safety sh
ould permeate all practices and be expressed through
changes in procedures, requirements, attitudes, and behaviors. An agency work envi- ronment in which officers do not feel they are respected, supported, or treated fairly is one of
the most common sources of stress. And research indicates that officers who feel respected by their supervisors are more likely to accept and voluntarily comply with departmental policies. This transformation should also overturn the t radition of silence on psychological problems, encouraging officers to seek help without concern about negative consequences.”
The main benefit to this Sigma pr
ogram i s better long-term health for police officers and dispatchers. A second benefit is a reduction in police officers and dispatchers s uffering heart attacks, diabetes or strokes that could lead t o a shorter career or a medical retirement compared to a full-service retirement. The third benefit is the cost savings to the City of Tracy. According to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, the average cost for an on or off-duty heart attack for a police officer ranges betw
een $400,000 to $750,000 since a heart attack is a presumptive medical condition.
If Sigma and the Tracy Police Department can partner together through medical screening and identify police officers and dispatchers who ar e at-risk for these medical issues, these individuals can immediately address these health risks. In turn, police officers and dispatchers will be healthier, complete a full career and employer costs will decrease.
As Sigma is offering a comprehensive program uniquely geared for police departments, other cities have successfully utilized Sigma’s services and these se rvices meet the grant requirements, staff is recommending that the City Council determine that waiving the competitive bidding process to award the PSA to Sigma is in the best interest of the City, pursuant to 2.20.140 (b)(6) of the Tracy Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT
The PSA is for a not to exceed amount of $105,000. The funding will be provided through the Police Department’s Board of State of Community Corrections (BSCC) Officers Wellness and Mental Health grant funding and supplemented with the Police Department’s Asset Forfeiture fund.

Agenda Item 1.Q
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt six Resolutions approving General Services Agreements, each for two (2) year terms, with an administrative option to extend for an additional year, to supply and deliver certain chemicals necessary in the treatment process of water and wastewater, with the following vendors, for the specified amounts:
(1) Hill Brother
s Chemical Company (not to exceed amount of $250,000 annually); (2) Polydyne, Inc. (not to exceed amount of $1,500,000 annually); (3) Pioneer Americas, LLC (not to exceed amount of $2,500,000 annually); (4) HASA, Inc. (not to exceed amount of $100,000 annually); (5) Sterling Water Technologies, LLC (not to exceed amount of $250,000 annually); and (6) Thatcher Company of California, Inc. (not to exceed amount of $1,500,000 annually).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This agenda item
, with City Council consent, will approve General Services Agreements with six (6) different contractors (identified above) (collective, “Contractors”) for the supply and delivery of certain chemicals used in the treatment of water through the John Jones Water Treatment Plant and wastewater through the Wastewater Treatment Plant to comply with Federal and State standards and permitting. Each of the six agreements are for two (2) year terms and give the City Manager the right to administratively extend each agreement for an additional one (1) year term. The funding for these six (6) agreements will be through the annual operations and maintenance budgets for Water and Wastewater (Fund 511 and Fund 521) with a combined not to exceed amount of $6,100,000 per annum.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
As an integral
part of operations, the City of Tracy water and wastewater treatment plants, water production wells, and water reservoirs, require various chemicals to disinfect and treat its water and wastewater to meet compliance with state and federal standards. Prices for many of these chemicals fluctuate greatly in the market based on supply and demand, and many vendors do not want to enter into agreements stagnating their rates. Every two to three years the City conducts a request for proposals to obtain competitive rates and many vendors will not participate for longer contract terms due to these fluctuations.
On February 2, 2023, s
taff followed established procedures, in accordance with Tracy Municipal Code, Section 2.20.140, and conducted a onetime Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit experienced and qualified vendors to provide competitive rates to supply and deliver the various chemicals used in disinfection and treatment of both water and wastewater. Proposers had the ability to select which specific chemicals they were interested in, and the price and unit costs associated with that chemical. On March 13, 2023, staff had received eleven (11) proposals from vendors for all twelve (12) identified chemicals. After careful review and analysis, six (6) qualified proposers were selected based on their competitive rates and ability to deliver the required chemicals.
Agenda Item 1.Q
August 15, 2023
ANALYSIS
The City of Tracy uses bulk chemical for disinfection and treatment of Water and Wastewater which requires delivery of such chemicals to various City facilities to receiving equipment in a safe environment as applicable per local, State and Federal standards. Most chemical supply firms are specialized and deliver only certain types of chemicals; therefore, the City must purchase these chemicals from multiple vendors. Staff completed an extensive review of the eleven (11) proposals received based on expertise and proposal content. The following six (6) proposers and their corresponding rates are recommended for approval by City Council based on cost, and taking into consideration response time, specialty, and past performance with the City and/or other agencies.
Upon approval, s
taff will finalize the GSAs and issue Purchase Orders specifying the type and rate for the chemical as shown in the table above and will invoice based on the delivery of chemical needs for each facility. The City will utilize these goods and services on an “as-needed basis.” Staff will follow the City’s purchasing policy and return to Council, if necessary. The GSA will be for a two-year term with the potential to extend the contract by one (1) year. Should the vendor and City agree to the extension, the vendor may request an increase to the proposed chemical rate in proportion to any increase in the Producer Price Index (PPI) by Commodity for Chemicals for the extended year. Any increase shall be the lower of ten percent (10%) or the increase in the PPI annually. Both the City and the vendor must agree on the proposed rate increase.
CEQA DETERMINATION
The approval of the pro
posers in this request will not result in a physical change in the environment and therefore is not considered as a project as defined by Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code.
Agenda Item 1.Q
August 15, 2023
STRATEGIC PLAN
