[M.
Miller]
Summary: In 1998, Lewis and Betty Goins granted the city an easement for a City of Tulare monument sign on the west side of Highway 99, just north of Cartmill Avenue.
As part of the Cartmill Interchange project, additional right-of-way was acquired by the State and the monument sign was demolished to facilitate the interchange improvements. Insufficient right-of-way exists to ever replace the monument sign at this location. A remnant portion of the easement associated with access to the former monument sign and its electrical service remains across property currently owned by AgWest Farm Credit, which impacts their ability to construct a planned expansion of their existing facility. AgWest Farm Credit is requesting that the City quitclaim any remaining rights to the easement. There is no identified need or purpose for the City to retain those rights.
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
Legal Review: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Engineering Department’s standard quitclaim deed.
Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Could be accommodated without significant impacts to the proposed AgWest Farm Credit expansion project, provided that portions of the subject easement conflicting with proposed structures are quitclaimed; 2) Deny - Would prevent the AgWest Farm Credit expansion project from moving forward as proposed; or 3) Table - Would delay the proposed AgWest Farm Credit expansion project.

Agenda Memo - September 17, 2024
Summary: On September 9, 2023, the City Council approved a contract with Lane Engineers for $67,700 in construction surveying services for the redevelopment of Zumwalt Park. Lane Engineers of Tulare, CA, is included on the list of pre-qualified consultants, and their proposal demonstrates that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the design of this project.
The City anticipated that Lane Engineers’ original proposal amount would be sufficient to complete the project; however, with this project's unique and intricate design, multiple site visits from the consultant were required to ensure the project met design requirements. Due to these circumstances, it has caused the City to exhaust the construction surveying budget. The contract amendment provided by Lane Engineers is $23,000. This amount includes additional construction surveying. Considering this proposal is billed on time and material, the City may only incur some of the cost. Project Management has reviewed the proposed addendum and determined that the proposed costs are reasonable and consistent with current design fees.
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Project Continency - PK0033-050-0999 Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.
Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by Council; 2) Deny - Should Council deny the request to amend the contract with Lane Engineers, the City will not have construction surveying, thus unable to provide exact field measurements for project improvements; or 3) Table - Postponing the amendment to the contract with Lane Engineers would delay the project schedule.
8. GENERAL BUSINESS - Comments related to General Business items are limited to three minutes per speaker, for a maximum of thirty minutes per item, unless otherwise extended by Council. For those that wish to provide public comment while viewing the meeting online, you may call (559) 366-1849.

Task Description Contractor Amount

Task Description Contractor Amount
1. Construction Contractor Superior Construction,
Bakersfield, Ca $8,940,000
2. Construction Management CCME, Fresno, Ca $347,600
Tulare City Council Page 8 of 10
Agenda Memo - September 17, 2024
3. Materials Inspection Krazan, & Associates, Clovis, Ca $48,745
4. Construction Surveying Guida, Fresno, Ca $56,700
5. Labor Compliance Labor Consultants, Hanford, Ca $30,600 A detailed breakdown of the construction contracts required for the subject project is as follows:
1. Construction Contract: Superior Construction
On August 29, 2024, three bids were opened from the Request for Bids #24-803, Emergency Homeless Shelter Project. The bid opening results are attached. The project sheet for the Emergency Homeless Shelter was approved in the 2023 – 2028 City of Tulare Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Once the plans and specifications were finalized, the Architect provided an estimated construction cost of $6,100,000.
Bids ranged from $8,940,000 - $11,731,000. The bids were evaluated and determined to be responsive to the requirements and instructions contained in the bid documents.
While the combination of bids received are higher than the construction estimate, this appears to be consistent with current construction costs trends being observed throughout the state and nation. Inflation, labor shortages, and significant supply chain issues in the building industry are driving higher than expected costs.
2. Construction Management: CCME
Emergency Homeless Shelter being the construction of a facility or buildings and infrastructure City of Tulare building inspectors will have an active part in the construction process inspections. Due to the volume of projects citywide, both private and public, The City does not have sufficient in-house staff capacity to perform the necessary construction management required by Emergency Homeless Shelter Project. The construction management of CCME will be an extension of the City’s Engineering Department, Project Management.
CCME of Fresno, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified On-Call Construction Management, Resident Engineer, Inspection Consultants and has demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and time frame to complete the work on this project. CCME has reviewed the scope of this project and has proposed to perform construction management services on a time and materials basis, not to exceed $347,600 in accordance with the provisions on their on-call contract. This amount is in line with industry standards and with what the City has experience on projects with similar scopes of work.
3. Materials Testing: Krazan
During construction, it will be necessary to perform materials testing to ensure compliance with City standards. Materials testing services including laboratory testing are outside the capabilities of the City.
Krazan of Clovis, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified On-Call Geotechnical and Materials Testing consultants and has demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the work on this project. Krazan has reviewed the scope of this project and Tulare City Council Page 9 of 10
Agenda Memo - September 17, 2024
has proposed to perform the necessary services on a time and material basis, not to exceed $48,745, in accordance with the provisions of their on-call contract. This amount is in line with industry standards.
4. Construction Survey: Guida
During construction, it will be necessary to provide construction staking so the Contractor has the necessary locations and elevations to properly construct the site improvements.
Guida of Fresno, CA is included on the list of On-Call Construction Surveying consultants and demonstrated in their bid proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the work on this project. Guida has reviewed the scope of the Emergency Homeless Shelter Project and has proposed to perform the necessary services on a time and materials basis, not to exceed $56,700. This amount is in line with industry standards.
5. Labor Compliance Monitoring: Labor Consultants of California This project is subject to Prevailing Wage requirements. To ensure proper wages are paid and accounted for in accordance with the ever-changing requirements under state and federal law, it will be necessary to perform labor monitoring of those contractors and consultants subject to these requirements. Due to the complexities involved, the City does not have the expertise or resources available to perform this work.
Labor Consultants of California, Hanford, CA, is included on the list of pre-qualified OnCall Labor Compliance Monitoring consultants and has demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the work on this project. Labor Consultants has reviewed the scope of this project and has proposed to perform the necessary services on a time and material basis, not to exceed $30,600, in accordance with the provisions of their on-call contract. This amount is in line with industry standards.
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The construction bid amount came in above the preliminary cost estimates used to develop the project budget and project sheet in the adopted 2023-2028 CIP budget, so revisions are necessary. Please refer to the revised Project Sheet attached to this staff transmittal for a breakdown of project costs and proposed funding sources.
Legal Review: Subsequent contract approval to be reviewed by the City Attorney.
Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Changes to the project scope following the construction contract bid opening could invalidate the entire bid process and are therefore not recommended; 2) Deny - Council could elect to reject all bids, direct staff to reduce the scope of the project, revise the design accordingly, and re-bid the project.
A reduced scope might result in lower bids, but additional design costs associated with revising the project plans would be incurred; or 3) Table - Council could elect to reject all bids and direct staff to reprogram the project to a future date in the hope that additional funding becomes available.

Agenda Title: Foster Drive Storm Drain and Water Main Preliminary Oversize Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a preliminary oversize construction reimbursement agreement with Tulare City School District for construction costs associated with Tulare City School District sports fields that are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and City Manager.
SUMMARY
The Tulare City School District is developing sports fields at the northeast corner of Foster Drive and Tuolumne Avenue. As part of this development, the district is required to extend a 10-inch waterline and 42-inch to 48-inch master plan storm drain mains in Foster Drive. These improvements exceed that which is required for the development and are meant to serve regional needs. The costs associated with the additional size and capacity of these installations are eligible for reimbursement under the City's oversize construction reimbursement policy outlined in Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code.
The attached preliminary oversize construction reimbursement agreement for the Foster Drive improvements outlines the work conditionally required by the City that would qualify for reimbursement under oversize construction reimbursement policies. The agreement also specifies the conditions under which the City would reimburse the Tulare City School District for their eligible expenses, plus accrued interest, as funding becomes available through the City’s Development Impact Fee program.

Agenda Title: Quitclaim Deed for Easement for Sign Access and Electrical Conduit
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Quitclaim Deed for an existing easement in favor of the City of Tulare for sign access and electrical conduit recorded on November 9, 1998, Document no. 1998-0083932 of Recorded Document Official County Records in the City of Tulare, County of Tulare, State of California to AgWest Farm Credit, FLCA; and authorize the City Manager to sign the respective Certificate of Conveyance.
SUMMARY
In 1998, Lewis and Betty Goins granted the city an easement for a City of Tulare monument sign on the west side of Highway 99, just north of Cartmill Avenue. As part of the Cartmill Interchange project, additional right-of-way was acquired by the State and the monument sign was demolished to facilitate the interchange improvements. Insufficient right-of-way exists to ever replace the monument sign at this location. A remnant portion of the easement associated with access to the former monument sign and its electrical service remains across property currently owned by AgWest Farm Credit, which impacts their ability to construct a planned expansion of their existing facility. AgWest Farm Credit is requesting that the City quitclaim any remaining rights to the easement. There is no identified need or purpose for the City to retain those rights.
FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form the Engineering Department’s standard quitclaim deed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Approve with changes - Could be accommodated without significant impacts to the proposed AgWest Farm Credit expansion project, provided that portions of the subject easement conflicting with proposed structures are quitclaimed.
2. Deny - Would prevent the AgWest Farm Credit expansion project from moving forward as proposed.
3. Table - Would delay the proposed AgWest Farm Credit expansion project.

If all required improvements are not made to the satisfaction of the City Engineer within twelve (12) months of the date of this Agreement, or within twenty-four (24) months if an extension was granted, the City of Tulare may exercise its right to proceed against the bonds. 3) Incorporation of Improvements. The work depicted or required on the improvement plans for the Final Map, which may include plans relating to sewer, water, streets, storm drainage, street lighting, landscape and irrigation, grading, traffic signal plans, etc., as well as those required by Conditions of Approval (hereinafter “Improvements”), are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

Payment of fees and fee credits shall be made at the rates and amounts established by the Tulare Municipal Code and Master Fee Schedule. The estimated reimbursement amounts, fees, and charges are more particularly itemized and made a part of this Agreement in the attached Exhibit “B”. 9) Fee Credit Adjustments.

Until then, Subdivider shall have no right to any portion of any fee credit. Upon adjustment, Subdivider shall pay all outstanding development impact fees prior to approval of the final map or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing. If the final map has already been approved all such fees shall be promptly paid by Subdivider, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing. City may enforce recovery of such fees in any manner available at law or in equity. 10) Security.

Upon written request from the Subdivider, partial releases of the Performance Security may be authorized by the City Engineer to reflect satisfactory completion of required improvements. Partial releases shall be limited to a maximum of 90% of the value of the completed improvements, and shall in no event result in the overall release of more than 90% of the value of the total Cost Estimate.

H. Sodium
• The commitment to reduce sodium in the meals stems from the fact that nutrition-related chronic diseases remain the primary cause of death among people aged 65 and older. California has a diverse population, and Nutrition Programs in the state provide culturally appropriate meals for many ethnicities. Asian meals traditionally have higher sodium levels. Programs that choose to provide culturally appropriate meals but are concerned with the sodium content of the meals may consider:
o Using low-sodium soy sauce or diluting soy sauce with water to produce low-sodium soy sauce;
o Offering soy sauce as a condiment to be added by the senior; o Providing Nutrition Education on sodium;
o Continuing to work with the sodium levels of meals, making small steps, to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and possibly decrease bone loss with age;
o Not providing potassium chloride salt substitutes;
o Noting meals that have more than 1000 mg of sodium on the menu as such: “This meal contains more than 1000 mg of sodium,” or using an icon denoting a high-sodium meal; and
o Using low-sodium versions of high-sodium foods when available and feasible within budget allowances.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: September 17, 2024
Department: Engineering Services - Project Management
Submitted by: Michael Miller, City Engineer
Agenda Title: Contract Amendment for PK0033 Zumwalt Park Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a contract amendment for $23,000 with Lane Engineers of Tulare, CA, for additional construction surveying related to PK0033 Zumwalt Park Project.
SUMMARY
On September 9, 2023, the City Council approved a contract with Lane Engineers for $67,700 in construction surveying services for the redevelopment of Zumwalt Park. Lane Engineers of Tulare, CA, is included on the list of pre-qualified consultants, and their proposal demonstrates that they have the skills, expertise, and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the design of this project.
The City anticipated that Lane Engineers’ original proposal amount would be sufficient to complete the project; however, with this project's unique and intricate design, multiple site visits from the consultant were required to ensure the project met design requirements. Due to these circumstances, it has caused the City to exhaust the construction surveying budget. The contract amendment provided by Lane Engineers is $23,000. This amount includes additional construction surveying. Considering this proposal is billed on time and material, the City may only incur some of the cost. Project Management has reviewed the proposed addendum and determined that the proposed costs are reasonable and consistent with current design fees.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Tulare, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tulare, California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our engagement letter. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, The City adopted Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 96, SubscriptionBased Information Technology Arrangements, in fiscal year 2023. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the basic financial statements. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management’s estimate of the net pension liability and related deferrals is based on actuarial valuations.
We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the liability and related deferrals in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Other postemployment benefit obligations are determined using terms of various healthcare plans offered, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and healthcare cost trend rates, projected annual rates and discount rates. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used develop the other postretirement benefit obligation in determining that is it reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of depreciation is based on historic costs. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the allowance for doubtful accounts in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users.
The most sensitive disclosure affecting the financial statements was:
The disclosure of Deficit Fund Balances in Note 13 to the financial statements provides information regarding the City’s funds which have liabilities that exceed their assets resulting in a deficit fund balance.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The attached schedule, “Uncorrected Audit Differences” summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. The uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying them could potentially cause future period financial statements to be materially misstated, even though, in our judgment, such uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit. In addition, the adjustments noted in the “Corrected Material Audit Adjustments” attachment represent the material misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures that were corrected by management.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report.
We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
In our audit engagement letter previously provided to you, we communicated the following significant risks of material misstatement (significant risks) as part of our audit planning:
Management override of controls
Improper revenue recognition due to fraud
During the course of the audit, we identified an additional significant risk:
• Incomplete, inaccurate, or otherwise improper implementation of GASB96.
These risks were addressed within our audit procedures and any findings related to these risks have been noted in our report dated September 11, 2024.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, budgetary comparison schedules, schedule of the proportionate share of net pension liability, and the schedule of changes in net OPEB liability, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual nonmajor fund schedules, budgetary comparison schedules for nonmajor funds, schedule of expenditures by Department for the General Fund, Measure I Sales Tax Revenue and related Expenditures, and the schedule of long-term debt recorded in a private purpose trust fund, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
