AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Trench Cut Fee Study Presentation
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Andrew Stricklin, Associate Engineer PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Director of Public Works / City Engineer
ATTACHMENTS:
1. NCE Ukiah Trench Cut Proposal FINAL
Summary: Council will receive a presentation by City Staff and contract consultant NCE regarding a recentlycompleted Trench Cut Fee Study and Implementation. Background and findings will show the impact both residential and commercial construction cuts into the roadway have on the condition and lifetime of a street and what type of remediation or fee could be applied to offset such deterioration.
Background: With the implementation of Measure Y to rehabilitate the streets of Ukiah, many streets have recently been paved and many more are designed and will soon be completed. Since work from other utilities, including those that are City owned, affect the future condition of these improved streets, staff recommended that a trench cut fee should be implemented to recoup the necessary rehabilitation costs resulting from the decreased road lifespan. At the December 2, 2020 Council meeting, a contract was awarded to Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) to complete this study and return with a presentation to Council. See Attachment 1 for project proposal by NCE.
Discussion: Problems associated with the performance of pavement cuts and street repairs have been a concern to public agencies for many years. Public agencies and utilities have sponsored engineering investigations, and these studies indicate that the life expectancy of a street may be reduced by the presence of pavement cuts. Trench cut fees are very common among municipalities in California.
Such fees are structured based on pavement age, type of pavement treatment, type and size of cut, as well as other factors. NCE has completed this study and will show the financial cost and impact the City faces with roadway construction from residential, commercial and municipal projects.
Following the presentation and delivery of the final report, Staff will continue engagement with the Trench Cut Ad-Hoc consisting of Mayor Brown and Councilmember Crane to develop recommendations for Council's consideration at a later meeting date.
Recommended Action: Receive presentation and provide any additional direction to Staff. Refer to Trench Cut Ad-Hoc for the development of implementation recommendations for Council's consideration at a later date.

Contract Approach and Schedule
Project Understanding
Interest in the impact of utility cuts on roadway performance has been prevalent among cities and counties for the last 30 years. There are extensive published and unpublished reports and literature on this subject, dating back to the 1940s, but in general, reports since 1990 are most relevant to this study. The City of Sacramento was a pioneer in this area with its 1996 study and excavation cost recovery fees. The fees were structured based on pavement age, trench directions, and size of excavation. Since that time, multiple agencies across California and the United States have conducted similar studies.
NCE understands that the City of Ukiah is seeking a consultant to perform a Trench Cut Study on its 53 centerline miles of streets, and assist in the implementation of the proposed recommendations, including a fee ordinance.
Problems associated with the performance of pavement cuts and street repairs have been a concern to public agencies for many years.
Public agencies and the utilities have sponsored engineering investigations and these studies indicate that the life expectancy of a street may be reduced by the presence of pavement cuts. Most of these studies focus on the impact of backfill placement and specification on potential surface settlement, rather than the impacts of cuts on the frequency of maintenance and rehabilitation activities.
NCE’s past reviews have found that findings from studies funded by utility companies and public agencies are often contradictory. Therefore, care needs to be taken when reviewing the technical approach used and the results.
Examples of agencies where similar studies have been performed include San Francisco, Santa Ana, Seattle, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Phoenix, Union City, Ottawa (Canada), League of Arizona Cities and Counties, Indiana Local Agencies, San Mateo County and Alameda County. NCE is currently conducting a similar study for the Cities of Anaheim and Pacifica; additionally, we are currently updating Sacramento’s original study.
NCE understands that the City of Ukiah desires to evaluate the impact of utility cuts on the structural integrity or functional performance of pavement. Should there be any impacts, appropriate mitigation measures are to be developed, including a fee schedule.
NCE’s technical approach will include the following tasks:
Research and summarize other studies related to street deterioration and rehabilitation costs from pavement utility cuts and trenches;
Determine a methodology to establish the impacts of utility cuts/trenches; Perform a comprehensive pavement analysis to determine the extent of damage to the City’s streets; Determine the loss of street life as a result of pavement cuts and determine the resultant rehabilitation costs;
Develop an impact fee schedule relative to pavement cuts; and Summarize all findings in a report.

Scope of Work
The following paragraphs describe in more detail NCE’s proposed scope of work.
Task 1: Summarize Utility Cut Fee Studies
In this task, NCE will first schedule a kickoff meeting with City staff to review:
Project scope, deliverables and timeline
Review of existing information on pavement sections
Review current restoration standards and practices
Review historical data available such as age of trenches and pavements, and maintenance and rehabilitation activities
Review previous study report and approaches
Review typical maintenance and rehabilitation practices and costs Review existing maintenance/pavement cut record-keeping procedures Next, NCE will conduct a detailed review of those studies that are most pertinent to the City including any followup information (i.e., economic impacts, associated costs, fees and ordinance development, agency adoptions and implementation). Many of these studies were performed over 15-20 years ago as shown in the bibliography below, but some are relatively recent.

Generally, the results of studies conducted by public agencies show that the presence of utility cuts lower measured pavement condition scores (indexes) compared to pavements of the same age with no utility cuts. The link between the presence of utility cuts and accelerated pavement deterioration is accepted by most agencies. The San Francisco study concedes that high-quality workmanship in the repair of utility trenches may reduce the structural damage to the pavement, but contends that lower ride quality and increased cracking still result and, therefore service life is diminished.

Task 2: Engineering Approach & Analyses
There are two primary methodologies
that have been utilized; either using
pavement condition data and statistical
(or functional) analyses to develop
performance models, or a structural
analysis using deflection testing to
quantify the impacts of utility cuts (NCE
employed both approaches for Seattle
and is currently conducting a similar
scope for Anaheim).
The first requires a pavement
management system that contains
sufficient historical data so that streets
with and without utility cuts can be
compared. An example of such an
approach is shown in the chart on the right (Figure 1) from San Francisco. However, it can be challenging to get sufficient data, primarily because few agencies have accurate data on pavement age beyond 10-15 years.
The pictures below (Figure 2) illustrate streets with and without cuts and the impacts on the PCI.
In this task, NCE will therefore review the City’s StreetSaver® database to extract sections with utility cuts and compare their PCIs before and after the cuts. In order for the statistical analyses to be viable, several hundred data points will be required. Pavement distress details or available images will be reviewed to verify the presence and condition of the utility cuts.

2016 PCI = 79 2020 PCI = 61

Figure 4. Differences in Overlay Thicknesses On and Adjacent to Utility Cut The second, more common approach, was pioneered in Sacramento, and relies on the use of deflection testing to determine the impacts. The premise is that cutting into a pavement will structurally weaken the surrounding areas due to the “slumping” effect. Deflection testing can be used to establish the relative loss of structural capacity resulting from the presence of pavement cuts. This loss of structural capacity necessitates thicker overlays, thus increasing the cost of rehabilitation for a street with pavement cuts over the costs for a street without cuts.
This approach is most successful when used on
pavements that have higher traffic volumes
(such as arterials) and the pavement section
must be known (either through cores or asbuilts). A sample testing plan is shown to the right (Figure 3) for both longitudinal and
transverse cuts. The deflection points 10 feet
away from the cut act as the “control” section
and provide a comparison of the pavement
performance if there was no cut.
NCE will use the structural capacities of the
sections with and without pavement cuts to
determine the reduction in pavement life using
mechanistic analysis. In addition, the required
overlay thickness will be determined for each
section. Figure 4 below clearly shows that the age of the pavement adjacent to the cut has a higher overlay thickness required.
By comparing the costs of overlays for sections with and without pavement cuts, the increased cost attributable to the pavement cut can be determined.

Task 3: Develop Fee Schedule and Report
NCE will then develop a fee schedule that will recover the full impacts of pavement cuts. Typical costs of repairs and types of repairs will be obtained from the City and used to determine the fee. This should be from recent bid tabs and include cost data such as:
Construction and construction management of pavements Design
City overhead
Non-pavement items such as striping, traffic control, signal loops etc. Others as relevant
We will also review the different methodologies for recovering rehabilitation costs due to pavement cuts. In particular, the trigger points for overlays will be discussed. A sample of various fee schedules are shown in the below table. The results will be documented in the report for the City’s review.
CITY FEE SCHEDULE COMMENTS
Los Angeles, CA $3.43 - $14.08 per SF Decreases with age. Considering flat fee.
San Francisco, CA $3.50 - $1.00 per SF Decreases with age.
Union City, CA $17.50 per LF Single flat fee.
Oxnard, CA $0.55 per SF
Bakersfield, CA $4.50 - $8.50 per SF
Redlands, CA $0.25 - $2.00 per SF Decreases with age and condition.
Seattle, WA $17.70 per SF Single flat fee.
Pennsylvania, PA $2.24 per SF Trigger level of 30%
In addition to the fee analysis, NCE will review moratoria from other agencies, and provide a recommendation to the City. After the analysis is completed, NCE will prepare a draft study report for the City to review. Upon receipt of the comments on the draft report, NCE will complete the final report for submittal. The report will include the following:
Introduction/Background
Results of literature reviewed
Study approach
Results of deflection testing analysis
Results of pavement management program (PMP) statistical analysis Description of analysis results determining the impact of trench/pavement cuts on pavements Comparison of results with other studies

Task 4 – Develop Fee Ordinance and Council Presentation In this task, NCE will assist the City in developing a fee ordinance and present our findings to the City Council. This will include the methodology employed, a discussion of alternatives, an alternatives analysis and recommendations.
Prior to the workshop, NCE will meet with City staff to review the presentation and modified as needed.
NCE has conducted many similar presentations, both to a technical and a non-technical audience. Typically, audiences such as a technical advisory committee will “dive deep” into the technical details. In contrast, City Council may focus only on the policy recommendations. Either way, NCE will provide City staff with the support desired.
It is assumed that this workshop will be conducted in person at the City, unless the current COVID-19 environment necessitates a virtual setting.

Utility Trench Cut Study Update (City of Sacramento)
With over 3,000 lane-miles of
streets, the City owns and
maintains the fifth largest street
network in California. Since 2016,
NCE has been responsible for
updating the City pavement
management system.
NCE is currently conducting a
study to evaluate the impacts of
utility cuts on the service life of
pavements and to develop appropriate mitigation measures, including a fee schedule. A similar study was conducted in 1996, and this project will update the findings.
NCE’s technical approach will include the following tasks:
Research and summarize other studies related to street deterioration and rehabilitation costs from pavement utility cuts and trenches;
Determine a methodology to establish the impacts of utility cuts/trenches;
Perform a comprehensive pavement analysis to determine the extent of damage to the City’s streets;
Determine the loss of street life as a result of pavement cuts and determine the resultant rehabilitation costs;
Develop an impact fee schedule relative to pavement cuts; Present the results to City Council and support to City staff for other meetings as needed. “Of particular value to me was NCE’s ability to develop a Pavement Condition Report that was geared to educate the public and elected officials with the challenges the City faces maintaining its pavement infrastructure. The report was very well done and became a popular template for other agencies maintaining pavement infrastructure in the Sacramento region. I recommend NCE to other organizations and hope to continue working with them in the future. They are hardworking, top-performing customer service-oriented
professionals.”

Technical Review of Pavement Maintenance Impact Study (City of Santa Rosa) The City of Santa Rosa had
developed a methodology to
determine the impacts of refuse
trucks and underground utilities
on pavement life. Pavement
management data was used to
model the differences in
pavement life depending on the
presence of utilities.
Most approaches used by other
agencies focus specifically on
utility cuts, and employ deflection testing and mechanistic analysis to quantify the impacts on pavements. These are then translated into fee schedules that are usually tiered (typically by age or condition), and then applied to all utilities that make cuts.
In the case of Santa Rosa’s Utility Impact Fee (UIF), some of the assumptions relied on engineering judgment and local observations from the field when originally developed in 2003. NCE was selected to perform a peer review of the assumptions used such as the impact of refuse trucks and utilities, as well as the life extensions of the designated maintenance treatments and the development of the impact fee. Recommendations were made to update the models with field data as well as to revise the cost assumptions for the impact fees.
Impact of Utility Repairs on Performance of Street Pavements (Various Cities) Similar utility cut studies were performed for the Cities of Palo Alto, Chico, Bishop, Elk Grove and Salem and the County of Santa Clara from 2001 to 2007. Deflection testing was utilized to determine the impacts of utility cuts, and fee schedules were developed. These agencies did not possess sufficient historical data in their pavement management systems, therefore, deflection testing was the only approach available.

Evaluation of Pavement Cuts (Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada) NCE investigated the impacts of pavement cuts (from utilities as well as street maintenance) on streets within the Cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson as well as Clark County. This project objective was to determine if there was an impact on pavements from the presence of pavement cuts, and if so, to quantify that impact and the costs for restoration.
In this study, we performed the following:
Reviewed and summarized other studies related to street deterioration and rehabilitation costs from pavement cuts Conducted a testing program to evaluate pavement sites in all agencies affected by cuts. This included deflection testing with a Falling Weight Deflectometer in order to assess the structural differences
Performed a comprehensive pavement analysis to determine the extent of damage to County/City streets from pavement cuts Determined the loss of street life as a result of pavement cuts and rehabilitation costs Developed a fee schedule or methodology to recover rehabilitation costs and a fee schedule Recommended restoration procedures to mitigate the impacts of pavement cuts NCE’s general approach was to perform a structural evaluation using deflection testing. Once the results indicated that there were statistical differences present, a model was developed to predict the differences in maintenance and rehabilitation costs resulting from a pavement cut.
As the results indicated in the figure to the left, pavements that were 11-15 years old were impacted greatest (as measured by the increase thickness of an asphalt concrete overlay) by the presence of utility cuts. Numerous presentations were made to RTC staff during and at the conclusion of this study.

Impact of Utility Cuts on Performance of Seattle Streets (City of Seattle) NCE was commissioned to
perform a study to determine
the impacts of utility cuts on
street pavements by Seattle
Transportation. The City
experienced over 9000 new
utility cuts every year, caused
by a dozen private and public
utilities.
This study was to determine the extent of degradation and costs associated with maintenance repairs and rehabilitation due to the presence of utility cuts.
Seattle had an extensive and well documented pavement management program, and almost a thousand sites were statistically analyzed to develop performance models. A structural approach using deflection testing was also used on select pavement sections.
The following tasks were performed by NCE.
Review of literature and City’s data sources
Identification of candidate sections
Statistical analysis of historical data from pavement management system data Structural approach using deflection testing
Data analysis and model development
Report preparation
Presentations to City staff
Impact of Utility Cuts on Performance of Street Pavements (City of Philadelphia) NCE was selected by the City of
Philadelphia to determine the impacts of
utility cuts on pavements and to develop
a utility cut fee. An experiment design was
developed that included pavements from
different functional classifications, ages
and surface types was developed. Then a
combination of condition surveys and
deflection testing was used to measure
the accelerated deterioration in pavements. Finally, statistical analysis was performed to measure the effects of the utility cuts and the results were used to develop a fee schedule.
The figure to the left illustrates the fact that highest deflections were obtained two feet away from the edge of the pavement cut.
NCE worked with both the Public Works and Legal Departments during the development of the fee ordinance.

Utility Trench Cut Fee Study
City of Sacramento, CA
Project Manager. NCE is currently conducting a study to evaluate the impacts of utility cuts on the service life of pavements and to develop appropriate mitigation measures, including a fee schedule. A similar study was conducted by the City in 1996, and this project will update the findings. The methodology includes performing deflection testing on selected sites, developing a fee schedule and a presentation to Council on the results.
Pavement Management System Update
City of Sacramento, CA
Senior Engineer. With over 3,000 lane-miles of streets, Sacramento owns and maintains the fifth largest street network in California. In 2016, the City converted to the StreetSaver® pavement management system software and needed results from an updated PMS in less than six weeks. NCE implemented an aggressive field data collection schedule to meet this goal. After the field data was collected, NCE developed maintenance strategies and performed multiple funding scenarios for each Council district. Finally, a report for City Council and the public was prepared, along with GIS maps.
In 2020, NCE was selected again to provide pavement condition data collection and updating the Pavement Management Application (PMA).

Margot Yapp, PE – Principal-in-Charge
Ms. Margot Yapp’s expertise in pavement studies, design and management lies in the intersection of research and implementation. The path began during Ms. Yapp’s senior year of college with her honors project and continued through research she conducted while obtaining her master’s degree. Mentored by a nationally known pavement engineer at the start of her career, Ms. Yapp met leading pavement researchers and learned practical aspects of applying research.
She enjoys the fulfilling opportunities NCE provides, whether it’s helping colleagues with their professional development or affecting city and state transportation policies. Having worked with public agencies for more than 30 years — both as an employee and a consultant — Ms. Yapp understands the challenges public servants face, making her effective at providing recommendations and presentations. She is skilled at translating technical information to a succinct, understandable message, “particularly useful since policies need to be adopted by non-technical people.” Ms. Yapp has taught workshops on pavement management systems for the National Highway Institute and the Federal Highway Administration.
Of particular interest to this project, is her experience working on numerous pavement impact studies caused by different truck traffic as well as those from utility cuts. She has used a variety of rigorous technical approaches to determine these impacts such as:
Development of an experiment design to ensure that all variables affecting pavement impacts are included
Rigorous statistical analyses to ensure that results and conclusions are significant Pavement structural analysis, including the use of deflection testing Pavement condition analysis, employing the use of pavement management data In each case, the appropriate technical approach was selected depending on the type of study and the data available.
Representative Projects
Pavement Management System Update and GIS Linkage
Mendocino Council of Governments, Ukiah, CA
Project Manager. This project was included in MCOG’s 2016/17 Overall Work Program to provide for updates to the Pavement Management Programs for the County of Mendocino and the Cities of Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits and Point Arena utilizing the StreetSaver® program. This included conducting condition surveys and updating databases for the 773 miles of streets and roads within the County and city systems. In addition, each agency’s GIS linkage was revised as appropriate for compatibility with the updated survey data. Reports on the conditions, needs, and budget scenarios were included as well. Training on use of the StreetSaver® program for local agency staff was also part of the project. Use of the program varied among the agencies. Some utilized the program as a preventive maintenance programming tool and have performed in-house pavement condition surveys, while others did not fully utilize the program or entered new data. NCE has completed MCOG’s PMP updates and GIS linkages four times since 2001.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Four-Year Cooperative Agreement for Dispatch Services with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in an Amount not to Exceed $1,540,822.
DEPARTMENT: Fire PREPARED BY: Doug Hutchison, Fire Chief PRESENTER: Doug Hutchison, Fire Chief
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Updated Dispatch Agreement
Summary: Council will consider approval of a four-year cooperative agreement for dispatch services with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, for an amount not to exceed $1,540,822.
Background: Since 2012, the City of Ukiah has contracted with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL Fire) for dispatching fire and emergency medical services within the city. The last cooperative agreement expired June 30, 2021.
Discussion: Fire Authority staff previously brought to the City Council a new four-year agreement in June of 2021. That agreement was approved by Council and forwarded to CAL Fire for their signatures and processing. CAL Fire staff identified some incorrect figures that had been used as well as some that had been left off the previous agreement, resulting in the need to resubmit the agreement to the Council for approval. This new agreement outlines the increasing costs in years 2-4 of the contract, as well as the total potential cost over the 4- year term. As in the past, it is important to note that CAL Fire only charges actual costs, and the figures used in the agreement are the maximum allowable. Our history with these agreements has been that the costs have always come in well under the maximum amount. As such, Fire Authority staff, in consultation with the City Manger's office, is comfortable with our currently budgeted amount.. The proposed agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2021, and contains the same terms as our previous agreements. The updated agreement is provided as Attachment 1.
Recommended Action: Approve the updated four-year cooperative agreement for dispatch services with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and authorize the City Manager to sign.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No.
CURRENT BUDGET AMOUNT: 10521210.52100: $210,718

STATE, in seeking said reimbursement pursuant to such request of LOCAL AGENCY, shall represent LOCAL AGENCY by following the procedures set forth in H&SC Section 13052. Any recovery of LOCAL AGENCY costs, less expenses, shall be paid or credited to LOCAL AGENCY, as directed by LOCAL AGENCY.
In all such instances, STATE shall give timely notice of the possible application of H&SC Sections 13051 and 13054 to the officer designated by LOCAL AGENCY.

Service Description for
Fire and Emergency Medical Dispatch Services
To
City of Ukiah
Within current California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) policy and in addition to the elements of the FIRE SERVICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM – Memorandum of Understanding – Standard Operational Procedures for the Mendocino County Operational Area (Office of Fire Warden, Mendocino County Fire Chiefs Association, November 1994); the following serves to describe the scope of work to be performed by the CAL FIRE Howard Forest Emergency Command Center (ECC) for the City of Ukiah:
Service
Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch services will be provided to those Local Fire Service Agencies and Ambulance providers of Mendocino County who are signatory to the Operational Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of November 1994. Coastal Valley Emergency Medical Services (CVEMS) has designated the Howard Forest ECC (HFECC) as Mendocino County’s Air Ambulance Coordination Center. The HFECC is the secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Mendocino County. CAL FIRE is the Cal OES Fire and Rescue Coordination Center for Mendocino County.
Dispatch services will be provided 24-hours per day, seven days per week, throughout the contract period.
CAL FIRE will provide Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) for medical dispatch and call priority determination (when appropriate). EMD provides for a caller to respond to a standardized question format to help determine the type of resources required to appropriately assist the caller. EMD also directs the dispatcher to provide pre-arrival instructions to assist with patient care, once the emergency response has been dispatched.
Generally, all emergency calls will be dispatched within sixty (60) seconds of the call. This time frame is a general target; it is recognized that verification of location information and directions to the location of the emergency as well as completion of the EMD process will sometimes require more than the 60-second time frame. Priority is place on clear and reliable dispatch information for responding resources.

Page No. 21
All emergency, non-emergency and administrative calls for service are logging into the Altaris Computer Added Dispatch program (CAD). All key entries are automatically time stamped by the CAD program for accuracy. All entries that require a field response of any type are logged as incidents and administrative functions (such as Fire Department announcements) are logged in as events and do not generate an incident number.
All CAD data is available on a web-based program that is accessible by a password protected program available to any agency or cooperator who does business with the dispatch center. The program used to retrieve this data is Crystal Reports, a CAL FIRE standard program for CAD data retrieval. All users of this service will be restricted to access records that originate in the Mendocino Unit. This program has pre-built reports that the user can access. Any news reports must be requested through the ECC Manager with specifics of the information requested. No call data or other CAD information will be released to the public.
Staffing
CAL FIRE provides a dispatch center 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Staffing levels for the ECC are a minimum of 1 fully qualified Fire Captain, and 2 fully qualified Communications Operator. During Fire Season, when CAL FIRE fixed wing aircraft are on Contract (normally, 6/15 through 10/15), the ECC is staffed with a minimum of 2 qualified Fire Captains and 2 qualified Communications Operators during the day.
The ECC Manager is a CAL FIRE Battalion Chief. This person is responsible for all ECC operations, personnel, and coordination with the Mendocino County Dispatch contract. He/She is the primary contact for the Coastal Valley EMS coordinator for any changes in EMS dispatch policy, procedures, or information requests.
Facilities
The CAL FIRE ECC infrastructure consists of two buildings that house the ECC and Expanded Dispatch along with all of the radio and telephone equipment. These two buildings together allow handling of all the normal daily activities and, if necessary, open an expanded dispatch to handle larger incidents. A 125 KW generator is also on-site to automatically provide emergency power if necessary.
The ECC is capable of providing all dispatching services on multiple frequencies. Fire and EMS are being dispatched at the same time using the Mendocino County Dispatching frequencies.
CAL FIRE has Altaris Computer Aided Dispatch program (CAD) in a laptop computer and CAL FIRE can use another location’s phone service along with a Mobile radio for a short duration. If this is not possible CAL FIRE has the ability to use a mobile location with Cellular phone service. CAL FIRE has access to a Mobile Communications Center for a backup Emergency Command Center, if needed for a long duration event, which is usually available within four hours.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Notification to City Council of Contract No. 2122-163 with Flock Group Inc. for the Rental of Two Cameras in the Amount of $10,500 for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority.
DEPARTMENT: Fire PREPARED BY: Eric Singleton, Battalion Chief PRESENTER: Doug Hutchison, Fire Chief

1. Flock Group Inc - Contract
Summary: Council will receive notification of Contract No. 2022-163 for rental of two surveillance cameras on a two-year contract with Flock Group INC. in the amount of $10,500 for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority.
Background: The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) is required and responsible for the investigation of any fire (structural, vegetation, vehicle, etc.,) that happens within the City/District boundaries. The UVFA is also contracted with the Sheriff’s Office to investigate fires throughout the county. Over the past few years, the Ukiah Valley and surrounding areas have seen a substantial increase in arson-related incidents. California, in general, has seen its fire seasons increase in length and severity. UVFA has continually maintained a proactive approach to the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of individuals who maliciously and intentionally set fires. Innovated technology has played a pivotal role in the UVFA approach to utilizing private and public camera systems to help with these cases along with teamwork with local and state law enforcement agencies.
Discussion: Currently, Flock Safety Camera Solutions are utilized by a vast number of agencies in Northern California, including the City Of Ukiah Police Department (UPD), Mendocino County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), Clearlake Police Department, and Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO). Though the use and missions of the cameras play different roles, the data from the system can be shared on an authorized basis between all agencies to act in a cooperative manner for all public safety. UVFA intends the camera's main use as a tool to assist in arson investigations, with UVFA having these two cameras linked to the cameras with regional partners gives us the ability to be as innovative and effective as possible in our mission to prevent fires from occurring and investigating when they do occur. Camera locations will move based on arson activity. This was a sole-source contract (Attachment 1) due to Flock being the current provider utilized by regional partners.
Recommended Action: Receive notification of Contact No. 2022-163 with Flock Group INC.

Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’ s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Agency’ s default and Flock shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right. In the event of natural expiration of this Agreement, Flock shall remove Flock Hardware at no additional cost to Agency.
2.8 Hazardous Conditions.

IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE
This timeline provides general guidance and understanding of your installation process. While we typically complete installations 6-8 weeks after locations have been finalized, delays can occur as noted in the timeline below:
CONFIRM CAMERA LOCATIONS WITH YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE Flock: Your Sales representative will present several viable options for camera locations Customer: Review Deployment Plan & approve camera locations Please Note: If Public Works is required to move forward, please obtain approval.
PREPARE FOR FINALIZED CAMERA LOCATIONS
Flock: Confirm Deployment Plan and signed agreement. Flock will move forward with next steps for locations that don't need permits (minimum 10 locations needed to move forward with partial installation)
Customer: Prepare the below items, as needed
If permits are required, begin application process
If cameras will be AC-powered, hire an electrician/ street department CONDUCT ON-SITE SURVEY & PLACE FLAGS:
Flock: Flock technician conducts site survey to (1) evaluate solar or power access, (2) check line of sight to the road, and (3) evaluate cellular service in the area. When the technician deems the locations suitable, s/he will place a white flag at each spot.
Please Note: If the initially determined locations don't meet Flock standards, we will evaluate a new location, obtain customer approval, and redo a site survey. This may push timeline for installation.
CALL 811
Flock: Flock Safety will coordinate with Call 811 to mark each camera location for underground utilities within a 10-foot radius.
Please Note: Call811 is a government service, so turnaround times may vary and is outside of Flock control.
SCHEDULE INSTALLATION
Flock: Flock will (1) ship any site specific materials that the technician does not have locally (2) schedule the installation date.
INSTALL & VALIDATE CAMERAS
Flock: After installation, your Customer Success Manager will confirm that cameras are capturing footage well and functioning properly. They will then give you full access to the system along with helpful training resources.
FINALIZE ANY INSTALLATION NEEDS
Flock: While we typically complete installations within 4 weeks of finalizing locations, delays may occur due to external factors. In these instances, we will continue to work through this process until your cameras are fully installed and operational.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN
CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 6
PICKING LOCATIONS
Falcon Cameras
Use Cases
Flock LPRs are designed to capture images of rear license plates, aimed in the direction of traffic.
Flock LPRs are not designed to capture pedestrians, sidewalks, dumpsters, gates, other areas of nonvehicle traffic, intersections Placement
They capture vehicles driving away from an intersection.
They cannot point into the middle of an intersection.
They should be placed after the intersection, to prevent stop and go motion activation, or “stop and go” traffic.
Mounting
They can be mounted on existing utility, light, or traffic signal poles, or 12 foot Flock poles. ** NOTE** Permitting ( or permission from pole owner) may be required in order to use existing infrastructure or install in specific areas, depending on local regulations & policies.
They should be mounted one per pole*. If using AC power, they can be mounted 2 per pole.
Cameras need sufficient power. Since a solar panel is required per camera, it can prevent sufficient solar power if 2 cameras and 2 solar panels were on a single pole ( by blocking visibility). Therefore if relying on solar power, only one camera can be installed per pole.
They can be powered with solar panels or direct wire-in AC Power (no outlets). ** NOTE** Flock does not provide Electrical services. The agency or community must work with an electrician to wire the cameras once installed. Electrician services should be completed within 2 days of installation to prevent the camera from dying.
They will require adequate cellular service using AT&T or T-Mobile to be able to process & send images Any Flock equipment mounted over 14 feet or on a horizontal beam will require a bucket truck. If mounting in this way:
Flock will request use of a bucket truck through the customer or Public Works If a bucket truck is not available through the customer, Flock will have to procure one.
Note** This will lead to delays on install & any subsequent maintenance visits based on bucket truck availability
Flock will likely require traffic control assistance provided by customer to install or provide maintenance with a bucket truck
Solar Panels
Solar panels need unobstructed southern-facing views

Who is responsible for maintenance?
Flock will handle all maintenance related to the camera and power equipment installed by Flock. However, any problems with the electrical supply are the responsibility of the customer. The AC junction box has two lights to indicate the presence of power and make it easy for quick diagnosis if there is a problem related to the AC power source.
In the event the camera indicates to Flock that there is a power supply problem, Flock will notify the customer and request that the customer verify the lights on the AC junction box. Ifthe AC Source light is illuminated, Flock will send a technicianto investigate. If the AC source light is not illuminated the customer should check any GFCI’s or breakers in the supply circuit or call the electrician who installed the power supply.
How much does it cost?
Work required to bring AC power to each location will be different, so exact pricing is not possible. The primary driverof cost is the distance from AC power source to the intended camera location.
CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 10
What information do I need to provide my electrician?
The Flock deployment plan and these work instructions should be sufficient to secure a quote. It will be helpful if you know the location of existing power infrastructure before creating the deployment plan.
Can you plug into my existing power outlet?
The Flock AC power adapter does not use a standard outlet plug, but must be directly wired into the power mains. While using outlet plugs may be convenient, they can easily be unplugged presenting a tampering risk to this critical safety infrastructure. If an outlet is close to the camera, the electrician can route power directly to the camera with a direct wire-in connection.
How long does this process typically take?
The installation process typically takes 6-8 weeks. In order to accelerate the process, be sure to have the electrician perform his work shortly after the Flock technician finishes installing the camera.
What kind of electrician should I look for?
Any licensed electrician should be able to perform this work, though we have found that those who advertise working with landscape lighting are most suited for this work.
What happens if the electrician damages the equipment?
The customer is responsible for contracting the electrician. Any liability associated with this work would be assumed by the customer. If any future work is required at this site due to the electrical infrastructure or the work performed by the electrician would be the responsibility of the customer.
When should the electrician perform his work?
Once Flock installs the camera, you will receive an email alert letting you know that this has been completed. After this, you will need to schedule the electrician to route power to the pole.
What if my electrician has questions about Flock’s AC Kit? You should share the AC-Power Kit Details packet with the electrician if they have questions.
What if the AC power is on a timer?
Sometimes the AC power will be on a timer ( like used for exterior lighting). Flock requires that the AC power provided to the camera be constant. The source that the electrician uses must not be on a timing circuit.

PERMITTING:
PRE-INSTALL QUESTIONNAIRE
1. Timeline
In Flock Safety’s experience, in -depth permitting
requirements can add 2+ months to the installation
timeline. Law enforcement agencies and city
governments can work with their local Public Works or
Department of Transportation offices directly to help
expedite the process. When Flock Safety customers
manage the permitting processes, results tend to come
more quickly.
Is your agency able to own the permitting process with
Flock Safety’s assistance?
2. Right of Way
Will any of the Flock Safety cameras be installed on city, state or power company owned poles or in city, county, or state Right of Way (RoW)?
What is the RoW buffer?
Will additional permits or written permission be
required from third-party entities ( such as DOT,
power company, public works, etc)?
Will any cameras be installed on city-owned traffic signal poles (vertical mass)?
If yes, please provide heights/photos to determine
if a bucket truck is needed for the installation.
Note: If height is greater than 15 feet tall, a
bucket truck is required.
3. AC Power vs. Solar
If AC powered, is there a 120V power source available, and is there access to an electrician who can connect the existing wire to the Flock Safety powered installation kit?
If solar powered, consider the size of the solar panel and potential to impact visibility of DOT signs/signals:
Single Panel: 21.25” x 14” x 2” (Length x Width x Depth) Double Panel: 21.25” x 28” x 2” (LxWxD)
CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 13
4. Traffic Control & Installation Methods
If a bucket truck is required, this typically necessitates a full lane to be blocked in the direction of travel. Can you provide a patrol car escort, or will full traffic control be required?
Note: If traffic control is required, you may incur
additional costs due to city/state requirements;
Fees will be determined by quotes received.
If full traffic control required ( cones, arrowboards, etc.):
Will standard plans suffice, or are custom plans
needed? Custom plans can double the cost, while
standard plans can be pulled from the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Will a non-sealed copy of the traffic plan suffice?
Or does the traffic plan need to be sealed and/or
submitted by a professional engineer?
Are there state-specific special versions/variances
that must be followed?
If a bucket truck is not required, the shoulder or sidewalk should suffice and enable Flock Safety to proceed
without traffic control systems in place.
Note: In some states ( i.e. California), sidewalks may
require signage. If signage is mandatory, Will your
Public Works department be able to assist?
5. Paperwork & Required Forms
Flock Safety will need copies of paperwork to complete
prior to proceeding (ex. business license applications, encroachment permit applications). We can save
critical time by gathering these documents upfront. We
appreciate your assistance in procuring these.
6. Contacts
If Flock Safety will need to interface directly with the departments, please share the contact information of the following departments:

3. 2022 HOME FTHB Application Resolution
Summary: Council will consider the adoption of a resolution authorizing submittal of an application to California HCD for $700,000 in funding under the HOME Program for a First-Time Homebuyer Program; and if the City is selected for an award, authorize the City Manager to execute the standard agreement, any amendments thereto, and any related documents necessary; and authorize the corresponding budget amendments.
Background: On December 1, 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the release of a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $72,000,000 in 2020-2021 federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds (Attachment 1). Eligible activities are separated into two types: Project activities- consisting of the funding of acquisition with new construction or rehabilitation of multifamily properties and First-Time Homebuyer (FTHB) subdivision new construction projects- and Program activities, consisting of programs to fund individual FTHB gap assistance, including infill new construction or rehabilitation, Owner Occupied Rehabilitation (OOR), and Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).
The funding provides loans or grants to eligible HOME Applicants serving low-income and very low-income households, defined as having incomes at or below 80 percent Area Median Income (AMI) or 50 percent AMI, respectively (Attachment 2). State Recipients such as the City of Ukiah are eligible to apply. Funding under the HCD HOME NOFA is competitive, with applications accepted from December 16, 2021 until 5:00 pm on March 10, 2022.
Discussion: In response to the 2020-21 HOME NOFA, Staff is proposing Council authorize an application in the amount of $700,000 for a First-Time Homebuyer Program. The City last operated a HOME FTHB program in 2018-2021 through standard agreement #16-HOME-11376, implementing the program "in-house" with Staff in the City's Housing Division. A total of $656,085 was expended through the 2018-2021 City FTHB program, out of a total available of $663,852, and representative of a cumulative 99 percent program expenditure rate.
Four first-time homebuyers were assisted through the 2018-2021 program.
If awarded funding by HCD, the 2022 Ukiah HOME FTHB program would provide deferred payment loans (no payments on principal and interest for the term of the loan, which is expected to be 45 years) to eligible lowPage 184 of 876
