Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to sign a contract with TJKM Transportation Consultants in the amount not to exceed $219,901 for professional consulting services associated with the preparation of an Active Transportation Plan. [S. Sopp] Summary: The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) has committed to provide the City of Tulare with $200,000 for the preparation of an Active Transportation Plan (ATP).

With funding secured, the City’s Community Development Department issued a request for proposals (RFP) for qualified consulting firms to assist the City in the preparation of an ATP.

Seven consulting firms submitted proposals by the deadline, with the top five being interviewed as well. TJKM Transportation Consultants scored the highest and is the preferred firm selected by City staff. TJKM Transportation Consultants has proposed to perform the necessary work for $219,901. The proposed cost is in line with industry standards and is within range of the expected cost by City staff.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) has committed to provide the City of Tulare with $200,000 for the preparation of an Active Transportation Plan. The remaining $19,901 will be funded with the Community Development Department’s existing Professional Services budget. No additional funding beyond what has already been allocated within the Community Development Department’s existing budget is anticipated.

Legal Review: The professional services agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

Tulare City Council Page 3
Agenda Memo - November 5, 2024
Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table. TCAG has been holding funding while City staff worked to issue an RFP and select a consultant. Failure to select a consultant and move forward could result in the repurposing of those funds.

12.4 Conflict of Interest Code Update.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution updating the City of Tulare’s Conflict of Interest Code. [M. Hermann]
Summary: The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially. A conflict of interest code tells the public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (FPPC Form 700).

An amended conflict of interest code has been prepared with changes in the City’s designated positions and disclosure categories, reflecting recent classification changes, deletions, or additions for positions that may have decision making authority or influence in recommendations for contracts for the purchase of goods and/or services.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

12.5 Citizens Option for Public Safety 2024/2025 Program Funds.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution approving the acceptance and appropriation of Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) 2024/2025 Program funds from the State of California in the amount of $109,333 to be used to fund one police officer position. [F. Ynclan] Summary: Since 1997, the California State Budget Act has included allocations to counties and cities for the COPS program. This funding is intended to fill the need for additional resources at the local level to ensure public safety. Funds must supplement existing services and cannot be used to supplant any existing funds. The funds cannot be used for administrative overhead costs in excess of ½ percent of the total allocation. The allocation may not be used to fund the costs of any capital project or construction project that does not directly support frontline law enforcement. Each city is required to deposit the funds into a separate Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund so that these funds are not intermingled with General Fund dollars.

The 2023/2024 COPS award for Tulare is in the amount of $109,333. Staff proposes to use the COPS funds to supplement one police officer position.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): 033 COPS State Grant Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

12.6 Cartmill Avenue Irrevocable Offer of Dedication.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution accepting a portion of the Irrevocable Offer to dedicate real property along the south side of Cartmill Avenue east of Akers Street (also known as Gem Street) that was offered to the City of Tulare across Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 5020 filed on December 31, 2010, in Book 51 of Parcel Maps at Page 26 in the Office of the Tulare County Recorder; direct the City Clerk to cause a certified copy of the resolution accepting the Tulare City Council Page 4
Agenda Memo - November 5, 2024
Irrevocable Offer of Dedication to be recorded in the Office of the Tulare County Recorder; and authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign a Certificate of Acceptance for the same. [M. Miller]
Summary: Parcel Map No. 5020, filed by property owners Robert W. Wagner, Successor Trustee of Sub Trust A of the Lanting Family Trust and Rutherford Investment Properties, LLC, created eight parcels along the south side of Cartmill Avenue between the Akers Street alignment (a.k.a., Gem Street) and Retherford Street. An Irrevocable Offer of Dedication in favor of the City of Tulare was provided on the parcel map along the Cartmill Avenue frontage of Parcels 1 and 2 of that map. A portion of the irrevocable offer across for Parcel 1 was accepted by City Council on February 5, 2013 through Resolution No. 13-06 to facilitate the improvements of CIP Project EN0073 - Cartmill Avenue Improvements. It is now necessary to accept an additional portion of the Irrevocable Offer across Parcel 1 to facilitate the installation of Southern California Edison utility improvements that will serve development at the southwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Akers Street.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The City Attorney will review the proposed resolution prior to its recordation.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Staff would work to implement any changes directed by Council. Minor changes would have minimal impact on construction cost and schedule; 2) Deny - Denial of the requested Irrevocable Offer acceptance would require SCE to come up with an alternate means of serving property at the southwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Akers Street, resulting in significant impacts to construction cost and schedule; or 3) Table - Tabling the item to accept a portion of the Irrevocable Offer could have a significant impact on construction cost and schedule.

12.7 Approve 2025 Health Insurance Rates.

Recommended Action: Approve the 2025 health insurance rates to remain the same as recommended by the City Manager. [S. Oneal]
Summary: The City of Tulare offers health, dental, and vision insurance as employee benefits.

These benefits are part of a self-insured plan that includes fixed costs and the projection of claims based on experience wherein the City takes on the risk associated with paying future medical claims versus a fully insured plan that retains those risks. The City’s self-insured plan mitigates that financial risk through “stop loss” insurance that is included in the total fixed costs for any claims over $175,000. The benefit of a self-insured plan is that you only pay for the services/prescriptions rendered/received. The fixed and projected costs include the following:

Fixed Cost
• Stop Loss Coverage Premium: This provides insurance against any high or unusual claims made in the calendar year.
• HNAS Admin Fee: This includes basic care management, consolidated billing, COBRA, etc.
• BSC Network Access: This fee is the amount the City pays to have access to and receive contract benefit rates for Blue Shield.
• IPM Rx Admin Fee: This is the fee to administer the City’s pharmaceutical plan. • Delta Dental: This fee pays for the administration of the plan. • PCORI Fees: An excise tax that applies to health insurance policies and self-insured health plans.

Tulare City Council Page 5
Agenda Memo - November 5, 2024
Projected Claims
• Medical Claims
• Prescription Claims
• Dental Claims
Burnham is the City’s health insurance broker who currently administers this plan and performs calculations to set proposed rates based upon the estimated fixed cost and projections of claims for the next plan year. Overall, the estimated fixed costs are increasing 3.5% and claims are estimated to increase by 7.9%. However, the City is currently collecting $4,393,668.96 through City (65%) and employee (35%) contributions and total cost of the estimated plan is $4,109,838.48. Estimated revenue collected exceeds anticipated plan costs by approximately $284,000.

Although, there is not an apparent need to increase rates to cover costs this year, Burnham is mindful of softening future huge increases by making progressive rate increases to avoid a large increase in the future. In making these recommendations, Burnham reviews levels of reserves, claims experiences, and takes into consideration the last time rates were increased.

The City last increased rates in 2021. From 2021-2025, the City has experienced a drop in claims expenses and a relatively stable fixed renewal rate. The overall fluctuation of fixed and claim renewal rates during this time offset one another and support maintaining rates as currently set. The below table reflects Burnhams’ calculated cost for this timeframe:
2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024
Fixed Costs $ 566,053 $ 619,488 $ 751,781 $ 675,639 $ 703,451 $ 704,010 Paid Claims $3,956,062 $3,983,889 $4,365,571 $3,766,307 $4,044,459 $3,162,089

TOTAL PLAN
COSTS $4,522,115 $4,603,377 $5,117,352 $4,441,946 $4,747,910 $3,866,099 Change 1.79% 11.16% -13.19% 6.80% -18.58%

The audited financials from fiscal year 2023 reflect a fund balance of $5,596,439 in the Employee Welfare Account. The City has also had several good years of claims experience that have helped stabilize rates. These factors influenced Burnham’s recommendation to the Health Insurance Committee regarding setting rates for the plans and Burnham was comfortable with the revenue/expenses currently set.

After calculations are performed, Burnham meets with the City’s established Health Insurance Committee whose members are charged with reviewing and recommending rates to the City Manager. The City Manager then makes recommendation to the City Council. Based on the above, it was the unanimous recommendation by the Health Insurance Committee to recommend to the City Manager that health insurance rates remain the same for calendar year 2025.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The City’s contribution to this plan is an estimated $2,855,884 and is allocated across the funds. The contribution was already included in this year’s budget for January through June. July through December contributions will be included in next year’s proposed budget. No additional funding is necessary.

Legal Review: This item has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

12.8 Cartmill Avenue and De La Vina Street Traffic Signal Oversize Agreement.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute an oversize construction reimbursement agreement with Presido JJR Kensington II 100, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, for construction costs associated with Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision 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; authorize a transfer from the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund (Fund 230) to the General Fund (Fund 001) of $233,818; authorize the establishment of $508,300 appropriation in the General Fund Oversize Liability – Principal (001- 4320-8206) account for the payment of the reimbursement attributable to new growth; and authorize the use of $274,482 of General Fund fund balance for payment of the remainder of the reimbursement. [M. Miller]
Summary: As part of development of Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision located on the northwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Mooney Boulevard, Presido JJR Kensington II 100, LLC was required to install offsite oversized street improvements. These included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Cartmill Avenue and De La Vina Street.

Costs associated with supplemental size and capacity are eligible for oversized construction reimbursement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code. The attached oversized construction reimbursement agreement identifies the work completed by the Developer that is reimbursable under the City’s oversize reimbursement procedures and specifies that the City will reimburse the developer for their expenditures plus accrued interest as funding becomes available through the City’s development impact fee program.

The proposed oversized construction reimbursement agreement is included with this submittal as Attachment 1. Should Council provide its authorization to do so, the final agreement will be executed by both parties.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Sufficient fund balance exists in the Streets & Traffic Signals Development Impact Fee Fund to accommodate the transfer of $233,818 to the General Fund to cover new development’s share of the cost of oversize reimbursement. And sufficient fund balance exists in General Fund to appropriate $274,482 to cover the remainder of the reimbursement attributable to existing development.

Fund 230 (DIF - Local Street & Traffic Signals) $233,818 Fund 001 (General Fund – Fund Balance) $274,482
Legal Review: The standard format used in preparing the oversized construction reimbursement agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - No impact; 2) Deny - The City entered into a preliminary oversize agreement with the developer prior to start of construction for the work described. Per the provisions of the fee mitigation act, failing to reimburse the Developer for improvements required by the City to address impacts above and beyond those directly attributable to the development could result in litigation. Additionally, the developer may avoid undertaking future projects within the City limits; or 3) Table - A delay in the City’s approval of the oversize agreement could delay oversize reimbursement payments to the Developer and incur additional interest charges to the City.

Tulare City Council Page 7
Agenda Memo - November 5, 2024

12.9 Notice of Completion - Little Caesars Commercial Development.

Recommended Action: Accept as complete the required public works improvements for the Little Caesars commercial development located at 920 S Mooney Boulevard, Tulare, CA 93274, authorize the City Engineer to sign a Notice of Completion (NOC), and direct the City Clerk to file the NOC with the Tulare County Recorder’s Office. [M. Miller] Summary: The conditions of approval for the Little Caesars commercial development located along the east side of Mooney Boulevard north of Bardsley Avenue (920 S. Mooney Boulevard) required the developer, Gussan Shedid, to make improvements to the project's Mooney Boulevard frontage. These improvements include street paving, median island construction, curb and gutter, sidewalk, a driveway approach, and street lighting. The developer has completed construction of these public works improvements in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. City Council acceptance of the public improvements and recordation of a Notice of Completion is required to close out the project. A portion of the public works improvements constructed are eligible for reimbursement through the City’s oversize construction reimbursement policies. City Council will be asked to consider approval of an oversize construction reimbursement agreement for this project as a separate agenda item.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The Notice of Completion template used by the City has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - No impact; 2) Deny - Denying acceptance of the public work improvements and the NOC would prevent the City and developer from subsequently entering into an oversize construction reimbursement agreement in accordance with Chapter 8.64 of the Municipal Code; or 3) Table - Delaying acceptance of the public work improvements and the NOC would postpone Council’s consideration of an oversize construction reimbursement agreement with the Developer for oversized improvements constructed as part of his project.

Please note that there will be approximately a 20-second delay in broadcast for viewers. When calling in, mute the device used for viewing the meeting. [Time Estimate: 7:35 p.m.]

13.1 Presentation of Revised City Logo.

Recommended Action: Receive a presentation on the revised City logo and provide direction thereto. [T. Myers]
Summary: The City of Tulare has an existing logo developed in the mid-1990’s that has become outdated and irrelevant. In light of the ever-increasing economic development activity occurring with the City, it is the appropriate timing for the City to rebrand it’s identity through the creation of a new logo and marketing tagline.

In December 2023, City of Tulare issued a Request for Proposal seeking a qualified consulting firm(s) to create a logo redesign for the City coupled with separate RFP for production of marketing materials utilizing new logo/brand.

MIG was ranked as the preferred consultant having experience as a multidisciplinary planning and design firm offering services including branding, marketing, communications strategies, graphic design, multimedia services and media relations.

Tulare City Council Page 8
Agenda Memo - November 5, 2024
City staff and the consultant worked with an advisory committee of local individuals who represent a cross-section of industry sectors (e.g., for profit, non-profit, etc.) to guide the creation of a new logo.

The committee and the consultant created and refined a series of logos over the past several months, which were presented to the City Council on August 6, 2024 and October 1, 2024. After receiving a presentation by MIG and staff; input from the public and Council discussion, the Council narrowed it down to three potential options and directed staff and the Consultant to revise the options and return to them for further consideration.

Following the October 1, 2024 City Council meeting, City Council voted to select Option 3 (attached) as the City’s new logo, with the modification to the train iconography.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve a revised logo; 2) Direct the Consultant to make further revisions; 3) Deny; or 4) Table.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
Project Understanding
TJKM understands that the City of Tulare is seeking professional services to develop an Active Transportation Plan (Plan).

We know that the City of Tulare, through current plans and policies provides for, and supports opportunities for its residents to have healthier lifestyles and safer and extensive multimodal networks. A safe and efficient multimodal network is envisioned to reduce energy dependence, create, and foster vibrant neighborhoods, and provides seamless and harmonious regional connections.

Using the current General Plan, other policies, programs and other relevant activities, TJKM will build upon the previous success that Tulare has experienced through the enforcement of these plans and policies as well as enhancement to critical pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to adhere to all ages and abilities standards and objectives. The TJKM Team will propose improvements as part of this Plan and identify the available funding source for effective implementation.

Tulare is recognized for its prior efforts and policies and TJKM looks forward to working with the City on developing a Plan that is equitable, educational, inclusive, and integrated.

Potential Issues & Solutions
There are several key issues we anticipate to encounter during the development of the Plan for City of Tulare. These challenges include inadequate infrastructure, community advocacy for disadvantaged residents, traffic related safety concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists, land use and zoning issues, and connectivity gaps. However, as the development of the Plan progresses it will become apparent how these issues can be addressed through the comprehensive safety assessment, collaborative input, and outreach efforts with the community. The findings and recommendations from the Plan will provide a strong foundation for actions and improvements the City can undertake to accomplish the stated goals with emphasis on safety, operations, and health for all modes of transportation.

During the public engagement and feedback process of the Plan, it will become apparent that not everyone has the same goals or vision for active transportation in Tulare. Instead of trying to suppress this conflict, TJKM embraces the diversity of opinion and strives to identify those areas of contention early in the process so that even if consensus cannot be reached, at least everyone involved will feel that they have been heard and their opinion considered. TJKM will work closely with the community to develop alternatives that meet safety and mobility goals while supporting a community-building approach that is inclusive and responsive.

With the support and buy-in from local government officials and transportation agencies, transforming Tulare into a safer community for all roadway users by providing a coherent network that seamlessly interlinks neighborhoods, parks, and commercial areas, will promote a more accessible and environmentally sensitive integrated cityscape for all residents and visitors.

TJKM is confident that through this process of advocacy, safety enhancements, community engagement, policy evolution, and strategic connectivity, the Plan for the City of Tulare will serve well a community dedicated to the principles of active, safe, and sustainable transportation.

METHODOLOGY
Approach
The Plan will serve as a mechanism to identify and prioritize active transportation infrastructure improvements, establish performance metric-driven policies and goals, establish strategies to enhance and maintain active transportation safety, better position the City to compete for future grant funding opportunities, and encourage and promote walking, rolling, and bicycling as a feasible form of transportation throughout Tulare for all ages and abilities. We will work closely with City staff to develop planning and design projects that reflects the unique environment in Tulare. We are familiar with several active transportation initiatives in the City of Tulare, having led projects like Tulare County Local Road Safety Plan. This onthe-ground knowledge will allow us to ‘hit-the-ground-running’ and help streamline the development of the Plan. The Plan will also be developed in a manner that refines and builds upon the goals and policies established in the City of Tulare’s General Plan, Bicycle and Trail Master Plan, and any other applicable plans. Based on our extensive experience working on similar projects, the TJKM Team will proceed in developing the Plan taking into consideration the Six “E’s” – Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement, Equity, and Evaluation. The involvement of the community in the development of the Plan is critical to its success. Our proposed approach key highlights for developing the Plan are summarized briefly below:

Implementation Focus Plan: Implementation tools are a key outcome of this plan to allow Tulare to quickly move forward with identified project and program needs. These include updated policies and goals with performance metrics so future actions and decision-making support the vision of active transportation. TJKM’s engineering team will play a key role in the implementation work, resulting in implementable projects with realistic generalized planning-level cost estimates.

Community Values: We understand from our past experience on similar projects the community’s concerns with quality of life and traffic impacts. We will build on our experience through our community outreach process that will help us identify concerns, build consensus for desired community attributes, and allow our team to incorporate the values of the community into the alternatives. We will utilize our time with community members to discuss their thoughts on what makes this community different from other communities in the region. Is it the people, the architectural character, the history, or perhaps something else that makes it special? By documenting the existing conditions, we can communicate with the community and Stakeholders and allow them to respond to what they feel most strongly represents their community. The feedback received will be utilized to develop a responsive plan that reflects the community’s spirit and develop a Plan that represents character and identity unique to the community.

Innovative Solutions: The Plan will balance technical considerations and safety for all modes of transportation with good design and complete streets principles. Our team of innovators works to balance current and local standards with new developing approaches. Our team will draw from our history in bicycle/pedestrian planning, land use and economic analysis, innovation to assist in developing alternatives that are feasible. We will utilize current local and national best practices, treatment selection tools, and other methods to evaluate a range of solutions including standard and innovative solutions.

We will identify which solutions are included in state and federal guidelines and identify jurisdictions that have successfully implemented.

Building On Prior Planning Efforts: Tulare has a rich history of planning and design project initiatives that provide a strong foundation for creating a connected active transportation network. These previous efforts offer valuable insights and resources that can be leveraged to enhance and expand the City’s active transportation infrastructure. By building on these established plans, Tulare can efficiently progress towards a comprehensive network that meets the community’s mobility needs and sustainability goals.

Creating a Comprehensive Network of Low-Stress Facilities: At TJKM, we recognize that developing a truly comprehensive active transportation network requires designing facilities that are low-stress, safe, and comfortable for individuals of all ages and abilities. Our approach focuses on creating an environment where everyone—from children to seniors (ages 8 to 80)—can travel confidently and securely. We also see a significant opportunity to enhance recreational activities by providing safe and comfortable connections to trails, encouraging more people to engage in outdoor activities.

By prioritizing low-stress routes, we aim to make active transportation an attractive and viable option for the entire Tulare community.

Core components of the Plan will include:
• An overall framework plan depicting the City’s future cycling and pedestrian network • Identification of network deficiencies and development of implementable improvement options • Design tools for improvements
• Conceptual designs for short-term and long-term projects suitable for future Capital Improvement Program funding programming and grant applications
• A phasing plan and funding strategy for prioritized projects, programs, and action steps Our team of highly skilled, visionary, and dedicated transportation professionals are continuously engaged in improving access and enhancing safety for bicyclists, motorists, pedestrians, transit users, and persons with disabilities. TJKM regularly leads meetings, hearings, and workshops involving substantial areas of conflict among the participants. We are very comfortable in this setting and value a diversity of views by promoting public engagement and feedback. TJKM specializes in a variety of community outreach methods and strategies to assist our plans and clients, including public workshops, focus groups, hosting walking/biking tours, development of project websites for announcements and to solicit feedback, and intercept and online surveys.

Work Plan
The Work Plan TJKM proposes builds on the Request for Proposal and has been expanded based on our extensive experience developing other ATPs, ATP updates, as well as other multimodal projects throughout California.

TASK 1. PROJECT PLANNING & COORDINATION
Subtask 1.1 Kick-Off Meeting
Within a week of notice-to-proceed, the TJKM Team will facilitate a Kick-Off Meeting with City representatives to:
• Discuss project goals and objectives
• Finalize project schedule and identify key milestones • Discuss and confirm critical data needs and data sharing protocol • Discuss and identify potential Stakeholders
• Discuss invoicing and progress updates
• Discuss other relevant information
Subtask 1.2 Project Coordination
Throughout the project, the TJKM Team expects ongoing emails and conference calls with the City’s Project Manager to keep the project on track and meet City’s expectations during the creation of the Plan. We will facilitate up to 12 virtual monthly meetings to ensure the project is on track and within budget. TJKM will also maintain all agendas, meeting notes, and action items through a Google doc that will be a living document throughout the life of project to provide an open and up-to-date communication platform. We anticipate each meeting to last 30 minutes or less.

12.3 Consent Page 50
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 31
Task 1 Deliverables:
 Kick-Off Meeting; agenda; presentation and handouts; minutes and action items; Project schedule and budget breakdown
 Monthly Project Management Status Meetings; Meeting Agendas; Project Status Reports; Meeting Minutes and Action Items maintained in Google Doc; and Monthly Status Report and Invoice  Up to 12 Virtual Monthly Meetings; Meeting Agendas; Project Status Reports; and Meeting Minutes and Action Items maintained in Google Doc
TASK 2. PUBLIC OUTREACH & DATA GATHERING
Subtask 2.1 Public Engagement Plan
Public engagement is essential to the success of the Plan. It is also a vital component in grant applications. Public input is also beneficial to the development of projects and strategies.

The TJKM Team, along with City staff and utilizing prior community engagement and Street Story feedback, will develop a comprehensive Public Engagement Plan (PEP) to ensure additional robust public engagement that will include branding and messaging to reach not only existing users and stakeholders, but also those from underserved portions of the community that may be unaware of existing opportunities available to them.

Important components of the PEP will include: goals of the PEP, identify key audiences to reach within the City, and strategies (meetings, advertising, and other efforts), to reach these audiences. TJKM will continue to update the engagement strategy as the planning process continues, update the lists of stakeholders and other participants as well as identifying additional activities as needed to support the Plan.

Subtask 2.2 Public Outreach
Upon agreement with City staff and Community Development Director, TJKM will implement public outreach including pop-up events, community workshops, and a community walking audit.

TJKM proposes to facilitate at least two in-person or virtual community workshops that might yield additional input, suggestions, and excitement for the Plan. We will work closely with City staff on scheduling and reserving venues for the events. We will prepare workshop materials, including but not limited to agenda, sign-in sheets, PowerPoint presentations, large exhibits, handouts, and notifications (in the form of emails, flyers, social media posts, postcards, etc.).

TJKM also initially proposes to conduct two pop-up events at school, high activity centers, and/or community/neighborhood events to increase engagement regarding active transportation that might yield additional input, suggestions, and excitement for the Plan. TJKM also proposes to organize one community walk and one community bike ride as part of the community outreach. Organized walking or biking tours are ‘public meetings in the field’ that can involve elected officials, City staff, advocates, interested residents, visitors, and others (including potential funding partners or media). By gaining a user perspective of key issues and routes, these tours promote a shared stakeholder experience that informs and improves ongoing decision-making. It is not uncommon for our tours to be considered the “highlight” of the planning process and to lead to recommendations in the Plan for more regularly organized community rides/walks.

TJKM will work with the City staff to determine the timing and route of the tours so they will be most beneficial to the planning process. If requested, participants may convene indoors afterward to further discuss or confirm issues identified during the tour. Highlights and discussion from the tour, recorded through notes, map graphics and digital photos, will be summarized in the Community Involvement and Engagement Summary and included as part of the Plan.

TJKM will work with City staff to carry out the events and other public outreach tools as determined. We will work closely with City staff on scheduling and reserving venues for the events. We will prepare workshop materials, including but not limited to agenda, sign-in sheets, PowerPoint presentations, large exhibits, handouts, and notifications (in the form of emails, flyers, social media posts, postcards, etc.). All of these events and outreach components will be finalized with the City before implementation.

12.3 Consent Page 51
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 32
Subtask 2.3 Project Website & Online Mapping Tool
For this task, TJKM will develop a project website with a customized URL. The website will consist of the following:
• Project overview
• Progress update and public drafts
• Upcoming events
• Interactive map input
• ArcGIS Online Map Series
An online mapping tool will be an efficient way to engage the public early in the process, both to communicate project objectives and to elicit feedback on specific issues, trip types, and destinations that should be considered for prioritization.

The results of the mapping tool will be integrated into early analysis and help inform future deliverables and may include the development of an email contact list for project updates. We suggest that the City posts the mapping tool link along with the project website information on the City’s website, Facebook page, or Nextdoor to increase public awareness of the project.

TJKM has an experienced graphic and social media team that will generate required materials for distribution along with suggested paths for unique outreach with emphasis on the transportation plan and opportunities for engagement.

Along with flyers and mailers, other potential outreach opportunities such as pop-up events tied to existing community gatherings or outreach to local user groups and other interested stakeholders not normally involved with decision making.

However, TJKM is aware that existing and potential users of the Plan may not have internet access; therefore, a mailer will be designed for City distribution that includes a description of the project as well as other information pertaining to the project scope and schedule. All public engagement materials, including the project website, will be provided in English and Spanish.

Subtask 2.4 Community Involvement & Engagement Summary
At the conclusion of the data gathering portion of the project, TJKM will provide a summary of public engagement with special emphasis on accomplishments with key stakeholders including the school district and underserved portions of the community.

Task 2 Deliverables:
 Public Engagement Plan (Draft and Final Technical Memorandum)  Attendance and Facilitation of two in-person or virtual Community Workshops  Hold two Pop-up Events (collateral for outreach events, including agendas, displays, presentations, layouts/maps, graphics, fact sheets, flyers, meeting notices and/or other materials in English and Spanish)  One community bike tour and one community walking tour  Outreach Materials (print and online)
 Website/Interactive Map tool
 Map Tool Results Report, and Mailing list

TASK 3. COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT-USER ANALYSIS
Subtask 3.1 Plan Review
The purpose of this task is to ensure the ATP vision and goals are aligned with prior planning efforts. TJKM will first collect and review documents pertaining to or referencing bike, pedestrian, or transportation improvements. The City planning effort and documents that will be reviewed by TJKM include at minimum: TJKM will summarize these in a Technical Memorandum, which will also include the following:
• General Plan (Updated 2014)
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Trail Master Plan
• Any other applicable Community Plans, Neighborhood Plans, and Specific Plans • Tulare County Local Road Safety Plan
• Relevant transit and active transportation education and encouragement programs • National Association of City Transportation Officials • American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
• Examples of other relevant state, regional, and countywide bicycle, pedestrian, and transportation plans (determined by local agency input), and a matrix to identify common themes • Regional Transportation Plans
Subtask 3.2 Vision, Goals, & Objectives
Based on assessment of existing programs, policies, and other relevant documents and input from City staff, TJKM will develop a Plan Vision, Goals, and Objectives memorandum at the onset of the project. The Safe System approach, which strives to shift responsibility away from individual road users and approaches safety from multiple angles, incorporating street designs that promotes safe speeds, accounts for potential human error, and includes education and enforcement efforts will be used in the establishment of the Plan Vision, Goals, and Objectives. Impacts on pedestrian and bicycle travel in the future will also be a part of the Vision, Goals, and Objectives. TJKM will revise the memo based on one set of internally consistent client comments and include final changes in the Draft Plan.

Subtask 3.3 Existing Conditions & Base Maps
TJKM, will assistance from the City, will compile and organize available information on existing conditions for the project area such as demographics, traffic volumes, state route planning and construction plans, aerial and base maps, and existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. TJKM will then prepare a series of base maps for design and analysis work that can be easily understood by the public for use at meetings and the public events. Available data will also be collected and verified with desktop review. TJKM will share the final map (with all GIS shape files) with the City.

Subtask 3.4 Gap Analysis
Demand Analysis
Based on the data collected, including existing and proposed land use, relevant planned documents, data analyzed, and evaluation of planned networks, the TJKM Team and the City will identify on-street bikeway facilities and pedestrian projects located on local roads within public right of way and consider opportunities to advance strategic implementation based on the deficiencies and gap within the transportation infrastructure for all modes of transportation. Improvement options will also include transit upgrades and bicycle and pedestrian connections to improve access to transit. Based on this information and the analysis of existing conditions, input from the Stakeholders, City staff, and the online survey, TJKM will prepare a Needs Assessment Report proposing priority projects, policies, and strategies that meet the needs and objectives of the ATP.

TJKM will develop a GIS map of the existing bicycle, pedestrian, and trails facilities as well as key items such as land use data and collision analysis.

12.3 Consent Page 53
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 34
Data Collection
TJKM will first collect data in the following areas:
• Collision Data: TJKM will obtain the latest five years of bicycle and pedestrian collision data from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) and the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for cross-checking. We will reference supplemental information from City, such as complaint database, if available. Our team is already familiar with collision patterns in Tulare through our work on the existing LRSP. • Geographic Information System (GIS) Data: Through various sources including the City, County, and others, TJKM will collect GIS shapefiles relevant to the project.
• As-Build: We will collect As-Built drawings from the City of Tulare to evaluate the feasibility of planned improvements and proposed improvements.
• Field Observation: As needed, TJKM will conduct field reconnaissance for verifying roadway configurations and infrastructure deficiencies and opportunities for improvements. This will occur at targeted locations identified by the existing conditions analysis and confirmed with the City.

Existing Conditions Analysis
TJKM will leverage our expertise in traffic calming, complete streets, active transportation, traffic operations, and active transportation to conduct five key analyses:

1. Collision Analysis: We will conduct an analysis of bicycle and pedestrian involved collisions within the City for the most recent five years of data. In this, we will highlight prominent collision trends and map all bicycle/pedestrian involved injury collisions. We will calculate crash rates and identify locations that are experiencing high rates of bicycle and pedestrian collisions.

2. Mode Share and Travel Patterns: The TJKM Team will collect origin-destination trip data for pedestrian and bike activity from the City of Tulare or any other agency, if available. If data is unavailable, data for Bicycle and pedestrian trips will be collected from the Origin-Destination (OD) big data source platforms like Streetlight or STRAVA as an optional task. This OD data will be used to determine the length of trips and trip purpose. Trip purpose could be going to work, going shopping, or even just going home. This kind of data gives us an idea about people’s mode and travel preferences and identifies existing routes that could benefit from improved walk and bike infrastructure. Based on our experience origin-destination trip data allows to measure bicycle and pedestrian traffic to get a holistic view of bike and pedestrian traffic on all road type, from bike lanes to trail, and assist in evaluation, prioritization, and communicating the most impactful active transportation projects that make streets safer and more accessible. It also helps to evaluate active transportation investments and measure their impacts.

3. Review Key Destinations: Our team will review key destinations within the City of Tulare to identify facilities, wayfinding, and other policies that can promote and support active transportation travel. This will be factored into the project selection in identifying where “low hanging fruit” projects may be implemented or where projects will have the most impact on improving active transportation within Tulare.

4. Socio-Economic Data: A socio-demographic and land use analysis related to the need, demand, and potential for biking (e.g. vehicle ownership, gender, age, etc.) will be developed.

5. Planned Networks Evaluation: Our team will evaluate the planned networks for feasibility, including the implementation of any previously planned bike lanes or other pedestrian improvements.

All of these analyses will be used to identify high priority areas where the improvements will have the most impact on safety, equity, addressing latent demand, as well as providing seamless connections to transit and ensure access to community centers.

12.3 Consent Page 54
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 35
To this end, TJKM will produce a GIS maps showing the roadway segments and intersections based on crash rate, and overlay this map onto the results of the LTS analysis, key destinations, and socio-economic data. This map will be used as a tool to identify potential improvements in future tasks. All of this information will be complied into an Existing Conditions Summary Technical Memorandum.

Equity Analysis
TJKM will conduct an Equity analysis that focuses on transportation equity. The goal of this analysis will be to determine limitations to accessibility to transportation from specific racial, socioeconomic, and geographic groups within the study area. Information from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool will help determine specific target areas with limitations to socio- economic mobility. This tool uses 13 environmental indicators, seven socio-economic indicators, 13 environmental justice indexes, and 13 supplemental indexes. TJKM will integrate these indicators into the analytical platform that integrates this information along with additional traffic safety and environmental factors, both built and natural.

As part of this task, the TJKM Team will develop and assess regional transportation indicators that easily measure transportation barriers in the City and/or potential structural inequalities that different population groups may face. These indicators will include, at minimum accessibility, connectivity effectiveness, environment, health, mobility, safety, level of community engagement; and other equity indicators, as required.

The TJKM Team will develop a “scorecard” consistent with the Center for Transportation Equity, Decisions, and Dollars Transportation Equity Scorecard to screen and prioritize projects (in later tasks) that advance equity and safety based on the following six categories:

1. Access to Opportunity

2. Health and Environment

3. Safety and Emergency Evacuation

4. Affordability

5. Mobility

6. Burdens
GIS mapping indicating those particular neighborhoods considered disadvantaged in Tulare and how proposal ATP projects will benefit or impact those communities based on these indicators will also be included.

Level of Traffic Stress Analysis
TJKM will conduct a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis on Tulare roadways to determine where high stress roadways exist, and identify opportunities to either lower LTS on these roadways, or provide low stress connections across them. LTS can be a powerful tool to identify low stress routes throughout a city that are comfortable for bicyclist of all ages and abilities.

TJKM will use these analyses to identify the following:
• New trail opportunities along creeks/water features, existing irrigation canal alignments that have been undergrounded or will require undergrounding upon development, other infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public street rights-of-way.
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection crossing needs, and other conflict points. • Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps, crossing needs in areas of pedestrian activities or at crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way.
• Priorities in route choice and how specific project improvements improve overall bicycle mobility based on specific user groups and their preferences.
• Potential enhancements to existing trails and bicycle and pedestrian facilities to meet design and/or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
• Needs for supporting bicycle facilities, such as bicycle parking, repair stations or other facilities.

12.3 Consent Page 55
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 36
TJKM will produce a series of maps, tables, and narrative that describe gaps and needs, developing a chapter for the plan that synthesize this information into critical needs and gaps that can be addressed by the City.

Task 3 Deliverables:
 Existing Documents and Policies Summary (Technical Memorandum); Existing Conditions Summary (Technical Memorandum)
 GIS Base maps
 Data Collection Memo (Technical Memorandum)
 Existing Conditions Analysis Memo (Technical Memorandum)  Project Mapping, tables and narrative as required
TASK 4. DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Subtask 4.1 Design Guidelines
TJKM will review existing design standards and based on the review will develop design guidelines that will be included as an Appendix to the Plan outlining design standards and guidelines for transportation improvements and required dimensions for different land use applications, bicycle facilities, roadway classifications, green infrastructure applications, wayfinding treatments, Safe Streets and Roads for All standard, and other general design standards to guide implementation of the Plan in the future.

The Consultant will develop design guidelines to reflect changes in best practices and in coordination with the City’s policies. The Consultant will consult the FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks Guide (STAR) as well as Caltrans Highway Design Manuals and Design Information Bulletins, and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design as well as existing design standards currently adopted by the City. The design guidelines will be a standalone document. Design guidelines will include the following:
• Bikeway, trail, and sidewalk recommended widths
• Bikeway and trail intersection guidance
• Bicycle detection recommendations
• Striping and signing recommendations
• Bicycle parking recommendations by land use type
• Pedestrian improvement standards, accessibility issues, and crosswalk Prioritization Policy • Traffic calming and control devices for universal access To develop these guidelines, this document will rely heavily upon context-sensitive, people-centric, equitable approaches and the sound application of engineering judgement and urban design principles. The document will avoid prescriptive requirements or mandated responses to numerical values, and instead encourage “imagineering” and innovative creation of place. This will complement the specific concept designs for priority projects and the general streetscape concepts that will be developed and serve to ensure any project affecting the circulation network is based on guidelines that are rooted in safety and equity for all modes. The Design Guidelines will include guidelines and requirements for public and private project design to instill transparency in the development process.

Subtask 4.2 Bicycle & Pedestrian Network Recommendations As an interdisciplinary transportation planning and design firm, TJKM is uniquely positioned to find a balance among the City’s mobility goals and challenges and its commitment to maintaining a natural aesthetic through a pragmatic design that are meaningful yet sustainable within Tulare’s existing framework.

The TJKM Team will develop a ranked list of proposed bicycle and pedestrian projects and improvements identified as part of the various analysis conducted and community feedback and comment. Along with a matrix formula that relates the list to plan goals and objectives, proposed improvements will be presented graphically on maps.

Local and regional bikeways (e.g., Class I/II/III/IV facilities), pedestrian spot improvements (e.g., sidewalk infill, crossing enhancements), support facilities (e.g., short- and long-term bike parking and trailheads), and future studies (e.g., trail feasibility studies, bike share feasibility studies, signal timing enhancements, and other improvements requiring further analysis) will all be considered and integrated as part of these network recommendations.

Subtask 4.3 Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates
Under this task, our team will develop cost estimates for capital improvement projects and maintenance related to improvements for all modes of transportation. Cost estimates will be developed based on industry standards and recent bids received by the City of Tulare, and current costs, and will be escalated for future years by applying inflation factor to develop costs in five year increments.

Subtask 4.4 Project Prioritization
TJKM will utilize the existing conditions and collision analysis and public input to develop non-infrastructure active transportation and active transportation network recommendations. The TJKM Team will develop a ranked list of proposed roadway improvements within the City of Tulare for all modes of transportation, including the all ages and abilities network, in order to enhance safety and connectivity. Along with a matrix formula that relates the list to plan goals and objectives, proposed improvements will be presented graphically on maps, and through plans/sections of potential high priority projects and illustrative concepts. The TJKM Team will also develop strategies and identify opportunities to enhance safety, connectivity, enforcement, education, and evaluation for all modes of transportation.

As an interdisciplinary transportation planning and design firm, TJKM is uniquely positioned to find a balance among the City’s mobility goals and challenges and its commitment to maintaining a natural aesthetic through a pragmatic design that are meaningful yet sustainable within Tulare’s existing framework.

The checklist will notate the context, plan history, and community outreach process, in addition to describing existing and desired future cycling and walking conditions, to make Tulare streets even more complete for all modes of transportations and friendlier for walking and bicycling.

Subtask 4.5 Funding Analysis & Needs
TJKM will evaluate and rank recommended projects based on the established criteria and develop guidance for implementation. The TJKM Team will develop high-level cost estimates for each project. Once the networks and cost estimates have been prioritized, an Implementation Plan, will be created to be used with applicable agencies and for the City of Tulare to comment and approve. TJKM will craft a Technical Memorandum that will refine concepts, collate, and expand the summary memoranda from previous tasks into a coherent set up recommendations for review. An implementation matrix will be created to be used with applicable agencies and for the City of Tulare to comment and approve.

TJKM will create a Funding Source Matrix to identify local, regional, state, and federal resources along with sustainable and ‘green’ revenue sources to help Tulare achieve its ATP improvements. The Funding Source Matrix will be structured to provide short-term, medium-term, and long-term strategies and those funding opportunities likely to be associated with those strategies. TJKM’s expertise with grant writing, scheduling deadlines, and winning grants for other municipalities will ensure Tulare has the best opportunity for funding success.

Project Management Plan
The TJKM Project Management Plan that will be used on these projects is based on proven management, lessons learned and administrative systems developed to enhance communication among the City of Tulare, the TJKM Project Manager and team members, and other affected agencies. This management
approach has been used successfully on numerous projects throughout California. The TJKM Project Management Plan has the following elements:

WORK PLAN
It is a TJKM policy to prepare a Work Plan for all projects, large and small. Upon receipt of a Notice-to-Proceed, we will prepare, in consultation with the City and other local jurisdictions, an overall project work plan that includes detailed work elements for each team specialty. A TJKM work plan typically includes:
definition of the project purpose; task objectives; scope of services; staffing; coordination requirements; deliverables; budget; schedule; and monitoring and reporting procedures.

COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION
Frequent and effective communication between the City, other local jurisdictions, and the TJKM Team is needed to maintain the project schedule and ensure a quality product. The key to our success is an integrated team approach. Our goal is "no surprises" and a partnership that has common understanding and expectations every step of the way. Mr. Doty will maintain close communication with the City’s Project Manager by personal contact, telephone, written communications, and meetings. Our Project Manager strongly believes in the necessity and benefit of scheduled monthly progress meetings. Mr. Doty, as well as other key team members, will meet with the City’s Project Manager monthly to discuss project issues, status, schedule, budget, and invoicing items. This will ensure that our "no surprises" goal is maintained and the City is thoroughly aware of all aspects of the project.

The TJKM Team will maintain regular contact with City staff to ensure clear communication on project tasks, products,
meetings, and schedule. Specifically, we will:
• Hold scheduled conference calls to review project status and discuss key issues. During these calls we will discuss various project deliverables including workshop agendas, workshop summaries, proposed alternatives, preferred alternative, Draft Plan, and Final Plan documents.
• Participate in additional calls and meet with City staff, as needed at key stages during the planning effort to review key ideas, products, deliverables, project status and overall project direction and budget.

12.3 Consent Page 60
The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan | 41
• Manage all aspects of the project to maintain project schedule and budget, maintain continuous liaison with the City and other stakeholders.
• Prepare and submit monthly progress status updates to the City. The reports will include progress of work; status of public involvement; updated project schedule; information/decisions required to maintain schedule and complete deliverables; problems encountered that may affect schedule; budget or work products and anticipated work products for the following month.

COST CONTROL
Control of project costs will be accomplished by monitoring on a task level basis. This detailed task level will roll up into milestone summaries and a project summary. Our cost accounting system is a "live" database that the project manager can access to determine the financial status of the project at any time. Cost control reporting to TJKM’s Project Manager will be implemented through the invoicing process. Progress reports will also be included to relay information on project progress and critical issues.

SCHEDULE CONTROL
Establishing a schedule that meets the project objectives is relatively easy. Maintaining this schedule during changing project priorities, unforeseen conditions, public consensus building, etc., is a challenge. The project work scope will be broken down by function and separated into defined tasks. Tasks will be linked logically and will be sufficiently detailed to allow for realistic representation of the project. Project progress will also be monitored by percent complete for each task.

QUALITY CONTROL
TJKM’s Quality Assurance Procedures are utilized throughout the life of the Project. Quality Control starts at the proposal and scope definition stage and continues through the completion of all assignments. To assure that errors, omissions and ambiguities in submittals and drawings are limited to an absolute minimum, the responsibilities for technical review, peer review/coordination checking, and technical audit functions are assigned to the appropriate TJKM Team members. TJKM’s approach integrates the work of our subconsultants into the quality control system through the use of established procedures and our peer review/independent checking capability augmented with technical audits.

I. Introduction to the Request for Proposals (RFP)
The City of Tulare Community Development Department, Planning Division, is requesting proposals from qualified consultants for the preparation of the City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan. The objective of this RFP is to select a qualified consultant to enter into an agreement to perform the work described below. A joint venture of firms or a single firm for all or part of the tasks described is acceptable to accomplish the anticipated Scope of Services outlined in Attachment A.

The City of Tulare, California is located in Tulare County. Tulare has an estimated population of 70,693 residents. The City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan will propose comprehensive, citywide strategies to improve circulation and access to bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout the community. Principle objectives and deliverables include a needs assessment via public outreach and evaluation of technical data, development of a list of projects with associated design concepts, and the creation of a plan for funding and implementation.

The City of Tulare last prepared a Pedestrian and Bicycle Trail Master Plan in 2005. Subsequently, significant growth, development, the adoption of a comprehensive General Plan Update in 2014, and the passing of time have all eroded the value of the 2005 plan. Existing infrastructure features various bicycle and pedestrian improvements, trails, and infrastructure throughout the city with a significant feature including the Santa Fe Trail which provides the most significant bicycle and pedestrian access, allowing residents to traverse the city east to west. As the city continues to grow, the movement of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic across Tulare is hindered by significant constraints. The city is physically divided by several major rail and automotive corridors, including the Union Pacific freight line State Route (SR)-99, and SR-137 which run north and south and restrict or challenge east / west pedestrian and bicyclist mobility, in addition to SR-137 running east and west through the city. There are also a limited number of safe bicycle and residential routes from residential areas to school sites, and significant gaps exist in existing routes and infrastructure.

Some of the goals for this project include: a system of safe and interconnected vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation infrastructure that offers better city‐wide circulation, with a particular focus on school access; improved access to recreational spaces; improved access to the city’s downtown district as well as commercial centers throughout the city; exploring bicycle and pedestrian amenities within the downtown district and commercial areas, such as enhanced street‐ side pedestrian amenities. It is also the city’s goal to identify future bicycle and pedestrian amenities to be developed within the city’s Urban Development Boundary that will be brought within the city’s limits as development occurs.

12.3 Consent Page 82
Task 2 Public Outreach & Data Gathering
As the City of Tulare considers making improvements to its active transportation infrastructure, it is critical to involve citizens and stakeholders in the process.

Public Engagement Plan
City of Tulare Planning staff are currently working with Caltrans and the Tulare Elementary School District to solicit public input and engagement. The City will be utilizing Street Story, a community engagement tool that allows residents, community groups and agencies to collect information about transportation crashes, near-misses, general hazards and safe location to travel. It is anticipated that this community engagement and preliminary feedback will be available prior to the kick-off of any work by the Consultant for the plan, and Street Story can be used as a public engagement and data collection tool by city staff and the consultant team.

Utilizing the prior community engagement and Street Story feedback, the consultant will develop a detailed Public Engagement Plan (PEP) that describes what additional public outreach is necessary in order to prepare a well-informed Active Transportation Plan that involves citizens and stakeholders in the process and reflects the needs and desires of the community. This PEP will propose events or other public outreach tools such as pop-up events, community workshops, a community walking audit, public outreach signage, a project website or other online engagement. The PEP will propose a schedule and key considerations for each event. This document will describe (1) the goals of the engagement effort, (2) the key audiences to reach within the City, and (3) the strategies (meetings, advertising, and other efforts), to reach these audiences. The Consultant will continue to update the engagement strategy as the planning process continues, updating lists of stakeholders and other participants as well as identifying additional activities as needed to support the Plan. All public input will be captured and summarized in a chapter of the Plan.

Public Outreach
The Consultant will provide the PEP to City staff and schedule and facilitate a meeting between the Consultant Team and City staff to discuss the recommendations of the PEP. Subject to the review and approval of the City of Tulare’s Community Development Director that the PEP sufficiently meets the public outreach needs of the community, the Consultant Team as the lead will work with City staff to carry out the events and other public outreach tools identified by the PEP throughout the ATP Plan development process.

Community Involvement & Engagement Summary
At the conclusion of the data gathering portion of the project, the Consultant will provide a summary of public engagement with special emphasis on accomplishments with key stakeholders including the school district and underserved portions of the community.

Task 2 Deliverables:
- Final Public Engagement Plan describing goals of the outreach and proposed events - Schedule and facilitate meeting to discuss recommendations of the PEP with City Staff - Work as lead to work with City staff to carry out the events and other tools identified by the PEP
- Public engagement summary

12.3 Consent Page 83
Task 3 Community Needs Assessment-User Analysis
Through this task, the Consultant will focus on understanding where the biggest needs and the biggest opportunities may be for providing more comfortable and connected bicycle and pedestrian networks. More specifically, the Consultant Team will focus on the following sub tasks:

Plan Review
The Consultant will review relevant plans, policies, and reports that pertain to active transportation in the City and region to allow for consistency. At the onset of the project, the Consultant will work with the City to finalize a list of plans / documents / policies to be reviewed. The Consultant will submit a data request memo to City staff, to request all available plans, policies, and regulations which may have any effect on the development of the plan and recommendations. Following the review of the documents, The Consultant Team will develop a summary of plans and how they pertain to the development and implementation of bicycle and pedestrian recommendations in the Plan.

Vision, Goals, and Objectives
Based on review of existing plans and input from City staff, the Consultant will develop a vision statement for the draft plan. The vision will be a broad and inspirational statement that presents the desired impact on pedestrian and bicycle travel in the future. Goals, policies, and action statements will be developed to support the vision statement. The Consultant will develop a memo that will be the foundation of this section of the plan. The Consultant will revise the memo based on one set of internally consistent client comments and include final changes in the Draft Active Transportation Plan.

Existing Conditions and Base Maps
The Consultant will work with the City to compile and organize available information on existing conditions for the project area such as demographics, traffic volumes, state route planning and construction plans, aerial and base maps, and existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Consultant will then prepare a series of base maps for design and analysis work that can be easily understood by the public for use at meetings and the public events. Available data will also be collected and verified with desktop review. The Consultant will share the final map (with all GIS shape files) with the City.

Gap Analysis
The Consultant will conduct a detailed assessment of gaps and needs of on- and off-street bicycle facilities, and pedestrian facilities. This assessment will quantify factors that impact walking and bicycling activity, locate network gaps as potential projects, and identify key pedestrian and bicycling areas based on demand and supply variables. Analysis under this task shall include:
- Demand Analysis (Land Use Analysis). The Consultant will use data about existing and proposed land use, trips, and others to identify where there is high demand for biking and walking in Tulare. This will consider access to transit, schools, work, commercial destinations, trail heads, and others. The Consultant will provide memo summarizing results. - Safety Analysis (Collision Analysis): the Consultant will conduct an analysis of safety issues in Tulare. The Consultant will use the latest five years of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions using the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) to develop maps that illustrate bicycle and pedestrian collision locations based on severity. High injury corridors and intersections will

12.3 Consent Page 84
be identified for special consideration in the recommendations section of the plan update.

The Consultant will work with the city to perform high level audits to identify safety concerns at high-collision locations.
- Equity Analysis: The Consultant will map demographic information city-wide to understand specific conditions related to low income, minority households, and households without access to a motor vehicle in the study area. This information can be used to identify programmatic strategies to support students, families, and schools with limited capacity and resources, and in the project prioritization phase to focus resources in areas that have been traditionally less well served by city infrastructure.
- Level of Traffic Stress Analysis: The Consultant will assess the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) on the existing bikeway facilities using available data including number of vehicle travel lanes, existing bicycle facilities, and intersection controls. Gaps in the network will be identified in terms of user comfort, identifying where a segment drops below the desired level of traffic stress and implications for ridership. This task will look at:
o Accessibility of regional destinations
o Potential new facility requirements (in excess of existing and planned facilities) o Existing barriers to bicycle access
The Consultant will use these analyses to identify:
- New trail opportunities along creeks/water features, existing irrigation canal alignments that have been undergrounded or will require undergrounding upon development, other infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public street rights-of-way. - Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection crossing needs, and other conflict points, - Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps, crossing needs in areas of pedestrian activities or at crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way. - Priorities in route choice and how specific project improvements improve overall bicycle mobility based on specific user groups and their preferences. - Potential enhancements to existing trails and bicycle and pedestrian facilities to meet design and/or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and - Needs for supporting bicycle facilities, such as bicycle parking, repair stations or other facilities.

The Consultant will produce a series of maps, tables, and narrative that describe gaps and needs, developing a chapter for the plan that synthesize this information into critical needs and gaps that can be addressed by the city.

The Consultant will develop an Existing Conditions Memo that includes deliverables from Task 3.

Task 3 Deliverables:
- Map identifying opportunities and barriers
- Vision, goals, and objectives
- Base map files (GIS format and with all shape files)
- Existing Conditions Memo

12.3 Consent Page 85
Task 4 Development and Implementation of the Active Transportation Plan This task will provide the City of Tulare with a list of projects, a method to prioritize projects, and identification of funding sources to support future projects. The outcome will be a plan which prioritizes locations and specific improvements for streets, sidewalks, and intersections that support all users.

Design Guidelines
The Consultant will develop design guidelines to reflect changes in best practices and in coordination with the City’s policies. The Consultant will consult the FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks Guide (STAR) as well as Caltrans Highway Design Manuals and Design Information Bulletins, and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design as well as existing design standards currently adopted by the City. The design guidelines will be a standalone document. The Consultant will develop and revise the design guidelines based on one set of internally consistent client comments. Design guidelines will include the following:
- Bikeway, trail, and sidewalk recommended widths
- Bikeway and trail intersection guidance
- Bicycle detection recommendations
- Striping and signing recommendations
- Bicycle parking recommendations by land use type
- Pedestrian improvement standards, accessibility issues, and crosswalk Prioritization Policy - Traffic calming and control devices for universal access The Consultant will develop a set of design guidelines tailored to the unique context of the City of Tulare, using images and information on local infrastructure that provides the City with a resource to implement ongoing bicycle and pedestrian design solutions as part of project opportunities that arise from other projects such as new development or regular street resurfacing.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Recommendations
The Consultant will develop pedestrian and bicycle network recommendations. The networks will be developed with a variety of users in mind (school children, commuters, elderly and disabled adults, and recreational users), and enhance local non-motorized connections. The Consultant team will prepare maps depicting existing, funded, and proposed bicycle and pedestrian projects. We will also produce a project list. Each listed project will include the project name, proposed facility type, segment endpoints and segment length. Recommendations will be categorized by facility type and may include:
- Local and regional bikeways (e.g., Class I/II/III/IV facilities) - Pedestrian spot improvements (e.g., sidewalk infill, crossing enhancements) - Support facilities (e.g., short- and long-term bike parking and trailheads) - Future studies (e.g., trail feasibility studies, bike share feasibility studies, signal timing enhancements, and other improvements requiring further analysis)

12.3 Consent Page 86
Order Of Magnitude Cost Estimates
Based on the draft network recommendations, the Consultant will develop planning-level order of magnitude cost ranges for the bicycle and pedestrian network improvements. Order of magnitude cost estimates will include a range of cost to provide decision makers and the public with an indication of the potential order of magnitude of costs when considering recommendations. Orders of magnitude will be based on the latest unit costs used in Tulare and nearby communities.

Project Prioritization
The Consultant will develop a Project Prioritization matrix that will allow the city to rank the proposed projects. The Consultant will develop an initial set of evaluation criteria to be reviewed by the City.

The evaluation criteria will be used to measure the relative urgency and priority of each recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvement. Project evaluation criteria may include:
- Public Support
- Safety
- Connectivity
- Transit Support
- Quality
- Feasibility
The Consultant will also identify projects that will require additional review and studies (ex. feasibility, traffic study, ROW needs, etc.). This will help the City identify both priorities and appropriate methods for implementation, including relevant funding sources. The implementation strategy will include general development guidelines for conditioning future development to implement projects identified in this Plan as the opportunity arises.

Funding Analysis and Needs
As part of this task, The Consultant will provide an implementation strategy that identifies potential funding opportunities – including local, regional, statewide, and federal funding – and applies them to each project. The Consultant will compile existing conditions data to help meet the grant application requirements of various federal and state grant programs regularly used to fund nonmotorized improvement projects, as identified in the funding portion of the Active Transportation Plan, to include, but not limited to, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant program. The Consultant will create a funding opportunity matrix to match project recommendations with eligible funding sources.

Task 4 Deliverables:
- Citywide design guidelines for the development of active transportation facilities - Proposed bicycle and pedestrian network improvements
- Planning level cost estimates for proposed active transportation improvements - Prioritized project list, including maps and tables that capture the top feasible priorities for the City
- Project recommendations and implementation memo

12.3 Consent Page 87
Task 5 Draft and Final Plan
Prepare Administrative Draft Plan
The Consultant will prepare and circulate an administrative draft plan for review by City staff. The Plan will be comprised of content drafted and approved in the working memos from previous tasks, including conceptual designs, recommendations and standards for improved road safety and operations, pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities, and enhanced streetscapes. It will identify a network of routes that can be retrofitted in stages over time as part of the City capital improvement program, or as grants, and other funding sources are attained as well as required of development as development occurs. The document will also contain a record of the outreach process, proposed timing, and prioritization for implementation of the recommendations, and potential funding sources and strategies. City staff will compile and organize comments for response and provide direction for the first round of revisions.

Prepare Public Review of Draft Plan
The Consultant will revise the administrative draft based on one set of internally consistent City comments and produce the public draft of the City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan. The DRAFT plan will be posted on the project website for public comment for a period of one (1) month.

City Council Presentation
The Consultant will revise the public draft based on public feedback on the DRAFT plan and guidance from City staff and prepare the final draft of the City of Tulare Active Transportation Plan. The Consultant will present the final draft to the Tulare City Council for approval and adoption.

Final Draft and Plan Submission
The Consultant will finalize the document and transmit electronic source files. The Consultant will print and ship up to three (3) hard copies of the final plan to the City, and will deliver one (1) electronic copy to the City.

Task 5 Deliverables:

Agenda Title: Citizens Option for Public Safety 2024/2025 Program Funds

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the acceptance and appropriation of Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) 2024/2025 Program funds from the State of California in the amount of $109,333 to be used to fund one police officer position.

SUMMARY
Since 1997, the California State Budget Act has included allocations to counties and cities for the COPS program. This funding is intended to fill the need for additional resources at the local level to ensure public safety. Funds must supplement existing services and cannot be used to supplant any existing funds. The funds cannot be used for administrative overhead costs in excess of ½ percent of the total allocation.

The allocation may not be used to fund the costs of any capital project or construction project that does not directly support frontline law enforcement. Each city is required to deposit the funds into a separate Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund so that these funds are not intermingled with General Fund dollars.

The 2023/2024 COPS award for Tulare is in the amount of $109,333. Staff proposes to use the COPS funds to supplement one police officer position.

Agenda Title: Cartmill Avenue Irrevocable Offer of Dedication

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution accepting a portion of the Irrevocable Offer to dedicate real property along the south side of Cartmill Avenue east of Akers Street (also known as Gem Street) that was offered to the City of Tulare across Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 5020 filed on December 31, 2010, in Book 51 of Parcel Maps at Page 26 in the Office of the Tulare County Recorder; direct the City Clerk to cause a certified copy of the resolution accepting the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication to be recorded in the Office of the Tulare County Recorder; and authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign a Certificate of Acceptance for the same.

SUMMARY
Parcel Map No. 5020, filed by property owners Robert W. Wagner, Successor Trustee of Sub Trust A of the Lanting Family Trust and Rutherford Investment Properties, LLC, created eight parcels along the south side of Cartmill Avenue between the Akers Street alignment (a.k.a., Gem Street) and Retherford Street. An Irrevocable Offer of Dedication in favor of the City of Tulare was provided on the parcel map along the Cartmill Avenue frontage of Parcels 1 and 2 of that map. A portion of the irrevocable offer across for Parcel 1 was accepted by City Council on February 5, 2013 through Resolution No. 13-06 to facilitate the improvements of CIP Project EN0073 - Cartmill Avenue Improvements. It is now necessary to accept an additional portion of the Irrevocable Offer across Parcel 1 to facilitate the installation of Southern California Edison utility improvements that will serve development at the southwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Akers Street.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney will review the proposed resolution prior to its recordation.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes. Staff would work to implement any changes directed by Council. Minor changes would have minimal impact on construction cost and schedule.

2. Deny. Denial of the requested Irrevocable Offer acceptance would require SCE to come up with an alternate means of serving property at the southwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Akers Street, resulting in significant impacts to construction cost and schedule.

3. Table. Tabling the item to accept a portion of the Irrevocable Offer could have a significant impact on construction cost and schedule.
