1. Ukiah - 2022 - 3 year Proposal
Summary: The Council will consider awarding a three-year contract to Evergreen Job and Safety Training in the amount of $84,012.00.

Background: Operational and safety training is required as mandated by California Title 8 High Voltage Electrical Safety Orders for Electric Utility employees.

The safety training for Electric Utility employees includes twelve (12) training sessions per year that cover the following areas: Capacitors and System Protection, Excavations and Mechanical Equipment, Transformers and Electrical Theory, Fall Protection –Classroom and In The Field Training (50%-50%), Substations, Underground Residential Distribution, Heat Illness and Overhead Lines, Electrical Burns and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Emergency Rescue Procedures (E.R.P.) Pole Top and Bucket Truck Rescue, Grounding/Lock-out Tag-out Procedures (per City Policy), Hearing Conservation, Hot Sticks and Grounds Testing, Meter Safety, Rubber Glove Re-Certification, Confined Space and Energized Parts, Job Briefings and Fork Lift Re-Certification, and Live Line Tools.

Discussion: In the Ukiah area, resources for these services, especially those that cover this wide range of training topics, are limited. Staff researched Job and Safety Training providers as well as reaching out to other municipalities with Electrical Utilities to get information on how they provide the required training for their crews. A list of potential companies was shared and those companies were contacted only to find out they could not provide the requested curriculum or did not do on-site training.

This training is an essential part of the electric utility trade to ensure safe work practices and procedures are adhered to in this hazardous field. Monthly refreshers help keep our employees cognizant while working in close proximity to high voltage lines.

Evergreen Job and Safety Training submitted a proposal. The cost for the requested trainings is $2,303.00 per month for monthly trainings for years one and two, with a 4% increase in year three, for a revised amount of $2,395.00 per month. Evergreen's proposal was reviewed and found acceptable, and is provided as Attachment 1. The cost for the Electric Utility employee safety training will be $27,636.00 per year for the first two years and $28,740.00 for year three, resulting in a total contract amount of $84,012.00 for a three-year period.

Staff recommends a three-year contract for Job and Safety Training be awarded to Evergreen Job and Safety Training for the amount of $84,012.00. Funds for the first year have been budgeted and are available in FY 2022/2023 in account 80026110.52100. Years two and three will be subject to budget approval in future fiscal years.

Recommended Action: Award Three-Year Contract to Evergreen Job and Safety Training in the Amount of $84,012.00 to Provide Job and Safety Training for Electric Utility Employees.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

DEPARTMENT: City Attorney PREPARED BY: Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney PRESENTER: Consent Calendar

1. AB 361 Findings Reconsideration for All Legislative Bodies Summary: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency and implementing teleconferencing requirements for public meetings of the Council and all City Commissions and Boards during the current state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The City Council is being asked to consider adopting a resolution authorizing continued remote meetings of the Council and its subordinate legislative bodies due to the imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees due to possible transmission of COVID-19 and the recent spread of variants. The current County health orders strongly recommends masking in all indoor facilities due to health and safety concerns. COVID19 is highly transmissible in indoor settings and requires multi-component prevention strategies to reduce its spread. The California Department of Public Health is currently investigating the length of vaccine protection.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends avoiding indoor spaces that do not offer fresh air from the outdoors as much as possible. Returning to meeting in the Council Chambers or smaller conference rooms means being in an enclosed space for meetings that commonly last for one to five hours and would seem to create additional exposure for participants to a possible transmission of the virus.

The Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency be open and public and that any person may attend and participate in such meetings. The Brown Act allows for legislative bodies to hold meetings by teleconference, but imposes specific requirements for doing so, including allowing public access to that location. On March 17, 2020, in order to address the need for public meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-29-20, temporarily suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, Executive Order No. N-8-2 then continued the suspension of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements from June 11, 2021 through September 30, 2021. These Executive Orders allowed legislative bodies to meet virtually as long as certain notice and accessibility requirements were met.

The State Legislature amended the Brown Act through Assembly Bill No. 361 (“AB 361”) on September 16, 2021. As with the Executive Orders, AB 361 requires that certain notice and accessibility requirements continue to be met for holding virtual public meetings. In addition, AB 361 states that a local agency may use teleconferencing without complying with the regular teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act, where the legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and makes certain findings; and requires that the legislative body make additional findings every 30 days in order to continue such teleconferencing.

As such, Staff recommends that the Council reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency, and make findings regarding the state of emergency by adopting the Resolution Implementing Teleconferencing

Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (“Resolution”) attached here as Attachment 1.

Discussion: AB 361, codified in part in Government Code § 54953, allows a local agency legislative body to hold a public meeting utilizing teleconferencing without giving public access to a teleconference location but allowing public comment virtually if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and any of the following circumstances also apply:

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

2. The meeting is being held for the purposes of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

3. The legislative body has determined that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

As amended by AB 361, Government Code § 54953(e)(3) requires cities that are conducting public meetings via teleconferencing during a declared State of Emergency to make findings, within 30 days of the first virtual meeting after AB361 going into effect, and every 30 days thereafter, that the legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and either 1) the emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, and/or 2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing.

Council adopted these findings at their May 18, 2022 meeting. The Council must now adopt, via this Resolution (Attachment 1), the findings that confirm the circumstances of the state of emergency and justify holding public meetings of the Council and all subordinate commissions, boards, and committees utilizing teleconferencing and allowing public comment virtually, pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e)(3).

Given recent modifications to the health order, Staff is currently utilizing and fine-tuning a hybrid meeting option that allows for in-person and remote participation in an effort to accommodate all needs and choices.

Staff will be working with the Mayor to coordinate continued implementation.

Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings during a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

1. OVERVIEW
A. POLICY STATEMENT
Ukiah Electric Utility has been operating its electric system for over one-hundred years. Public and employee safety is paramount in the operation, construction and maintenance of the electric system. Given recent, catastrophic wildfires in California, the state passed Senate Bill (SB) 901 in September 2018. The law requires utilities to prepare wildfire mitigation measures if the utility’s overhead electrical lines and equipment are located in an area that has a significant risk of wildfire resulting from those electrical lines and equipment. The law requires the wildfire mitigation measures to incorporate specific information and procedures and requires the local publicly owned electric utility, before January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan. Portions of Ukiah Electric Utility’s (UEU) electrical infrastructure is located in and adjacent to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Tier 2 wildfire threat areas.

UEU’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its local community. In order to meet this goal, UEU constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

B. PURPOSE OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) describes the range of activities that UEU is taking or considering, to mitigate the threat of power-line ignited wildfires, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387 for publicly owned electric utilities to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter. The Plan will be iterative, promote continuous improvement year-overyear, and represent best efforts to implement industry best practices in a prudent and reasonable manner.

UEU is a department within the City of Ukiah. For wildfire prevention and response, UEU is subordinate to the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) and the City of Ukiah Police Department (UPD).

The City of Ukiah adopted an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in 2021 and the Building Community Preparedness and Resilience Program in 2019. The UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan supports the aspirational goals of these plans in the area of Wildland Fire. The objectives of the Plans specifically supported by this UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan are as follows:

1. Educate the public about wildland fire dangers and the steps that can be taken to prevent or minimize their effects.

2. Maintain Emergency Operations Center for coordination of information and resources.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
A. MINIMIZING SOURCES OF IGNITION
The primary goal of this WMP is to minimize the probability that UEU’s transmission and distribution system may be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a fire as well as to protect the system from wildfire damage.

UEU is in the process of evaluating prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training to help meet this objective. UEU will implement these changes consistent with this WMP as staffing and budget allows.

B. RESILIENCY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID
The secondary goal of this WMP is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid. As part of the development and on-going implementation of this plan, UEU will assess new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service and improve the restoration of service.

Other resiliency efforts include mitigating fire fuels in areas that are a threat to our facilities and equipment along with reducing the chance that lives or property will be lost to wildfire.

Additionally, improved fire coordination will improve resiliency and help avoid the need for public safety power shut off protocols during high fire threat weather. Fire fuels reduction and improved fire response will be addressed in the UEU Wildfire Prevention Program.

C. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES & PROGRAMS

1. Strategies
The following strategies are part of this Plan and described in more detail in Section 5. • VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
These strategies help to control vegetation near to UEU overhead transmission and distribution lines so they better adhere to clearance specifications. They also include fire fuels mitigation and other work in order to prevent our system from causing a fire and to protect our system from fire.
• ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
These strategies consist of assessment and diagnostic activities as well as associated corrective actions. The practices in this category aim to ensure all infrastructure is in working condition and vegetation adheres to defined minimum distance specifications. • SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
These strategies consist of methods to improve system visualization and awareness of environmental conditions. The practices in this category aim to provide tools to improve the other components of the plan.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 7
• OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
These strategies consist of proactive, day-to-day actions taken to mitigate wildfire risks.

The practices in this category aim to ensure UEU is prepared in high-risk situations, such as dry, windy environmental conditions.
• SYSTEM HARDENING
These strategies consist of system, equipment, and structure design and technical upgrades.

The practices in this category aim to improve system hardening to prevent contact between infrastructure and fuel sources, such as vegetation and animals. It also includes making the system more resilient to wildfire and other disasters.
• PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOTIFICATION
These strategies will focus on ways to engage the community as partners in preventing and identifying wildfire risk. They include improving outage notification and other items in the interest of public safety.
• RECLOSING AND DEENERGIZATION
These strategies include discussion of de-energization as well as circuit reclosing. • WILDFIRE RESPONSE & RECOVERY
These strategies consist of procedures to react to wildfire or other related emergency conditions. The practices aim to formalize protocols for these situations, so UEU can provide an adequate response and recovery.

2. Programs
The strategies above will, as budgetary constraints and staffing permit, be developed and implemented through the following programs that are either active or are being created and coordinated as part of this WMP and are described in more detail in Section 5. • UEU Wildfire Prevention Program - Appendix A
• UEU Distribution Capital Improvement Program
• COU Emergency Response Plan (EOP)

C. COORDINATION WITH JOINT POLE INFRASTRUCTURE

PROVIDERS
For joint pole fire prevention, UEU takes the lead role and informs the subordinate providers when UEU identifies any compromised poles due to third-party attachments. UEU coordinates with communication and electric infrastructure providers throughout the year when work on the system effects their equipment and identifies safety issues. If UEU staff discovers a facility in need of repair owned by an entity, UEU may issue a notice to repair to the facility owner and work to ensure that necessary repairs are promptly completed. During emergencies, UEU assumes the primary role and informs providers when there is damage or risk to their equipment.

D. COORDINATION WITH CITY OF UKIAH DEPARTMENTS
Ukiah Valley Fire Authority
The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority is the lead agency in cooperation with UEU for implementation of the UEU Wildfire Prevention & Improved communication Program. UVFA is the City’s lead for emergency operations and directs UEU regarding public safety priorities.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 11
Ukiah Police Department
UEU coordinates with UPD and is subordinate for emergency and public safety issues. UEU will work closely with the UPD for situational awareness and other public safety issues related to this WMP.

Ukiah Public Works Department
UEU is investigating opportunities to harden the electrical system and increase survivability for traffic control, water and wastewater infrastructures. During wildfires and other public safety events, UEU closely will work with Public Works to ensure water/wastewater facilities and other critical infrastructure have power. These facilities are not only critical for defending the City from wildfire, but are essential for safe repopulation following any disaster. Additionally, the Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA) is a critical operation for evacuations during emergencies and will be part of planning and operational review process.

Ukiah Community Services Department
UEU is partnered with the COU Community Services Department as part of the UEU Wildfire Prevention Program for fire fuels mitigation as well as other programs and projects.

Other COU Departments and Administration
UEU, as a member of the City of Ukiah Team, will work to ensure information regarding warnings, alerts, and widespread outages are shared with other departments. The City’s Communications Team will be an integral part of getting information out to the media and public and will be coordinated with either and/or both the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator as well as any Incident Command in place.

E. CAL OES STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a utility department of the COU located in Mendocino County, UEU may participate in various emergency operation centers depending on the situation and lead agency. As a local governmental agency, COU has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations, adopted in accordance with Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state. The COU maintains a EOP that includes UEU. The COU works closely with Mendocino County to coordinate emergency operations, including the Mendocino County Sherriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES).

The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services (OES) coordinates with Federal, State, and local agencies to prepare, respond, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters. • OES is responsible for maintaining and updating the County Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is an all hazards plan for Mendocino County.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 12
• OES also coordinates and maintains the county Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The EOC can be used during a major incident to carry out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management between multiple agencies. • The Office of Emergency Services provides technical advice to the Sheriff on local emergency declarations and his direct link to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services during disasters or any other critical incident. In the event of a major incident OES can work with CAL OES to obtain a Presidential proclamation. • OES works closely with other local agencies assisting them in preparing emergency plans and in disaster training. OES works as a point of contact for local agenciesto the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

Pursuant to this structure, UEU coordinates and communicates with the relevant local, state and Federal agencies. This includes participating in City & County EOC exercises as well as providing annual safety meetings. Pursuant to the Emergency Operations Program, an UEU EOC Liaison will participate in the City or County EOC using the standardized Incident Command System (ICS).

4. WILDFIRE RISK AND RISK DRIVERS
A. BACKGROUND
Ukiah typically experiences cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers creating extreme fire weather conditions especially from May through October. Daily temperatures during fire seasons (JuneOctober) can be above 90° Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of less than 30%. Typical vegetation within UEU’s service territory include various types of trees including redwood, oak, pine and fir trees as well as annual grasses. Areas of dense brush and annual grasses are present, and result in high fire danger and significant fires especially during wind events. These conditions combine to create extreme fire danger. The risk of catastrophic wildfire in the area increases as the recent trend of drought conditions continue.

B. ENTERPRISE SAFETY AND WILDFIRE RISK METHODOLOGY
In order to ascertain the level of risk to our system, staff looked at our historic outages caused by animals, birds, vegetation, car-pole accidents, and overhead equipment failures as a way to assess wildfire risk. These events were selected because such events can create circumstances such as wire down or sparking that can result in an ignition source. Additionally, UEU will review historic fire records to see if there are other areas of risk that should be addressed.

C. SYSTEM AND OPERATIONAL RISK
UEU’s designs and constructs its electric facilities to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standards. UEU uses the CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities and, as such, meets or exceeds all applicable standards in GO 95. Additionally, UEU monitors and follows, as appropriate, the National Electric Safety Code.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 13
Risk drivers associated with design, construction, operations, and maintenance, within our 4.3 square mile service territory include CPUC Tier 2 high fire threat areas that account for approximately 10% of UEU’s facilities.

D. GEOGRAPHICAL & CLIMATE RISK
Within UEU’s service territory and the surrounding areas, the primary risk drivers associated with geography and climate for wildfire are the following:
a) Extended drought;
b) Vegetation type;
c) Vegetation density (especially the West side)
d) Weather;
e) High winds;
f) Terrain;
g) Low humidity;
h) Changing weather patterns
i) Community at risk
j) Fire history
E. CPUC HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICTS
UEU will incorporate the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Fire Threat Map (Exhibit A) into its construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and clearance practices, where applicable.

UEU reviews the CPUC Fire Threat Map annually to identify needed adjustments to hazard threat levels due to changes in urban development and/or vegetation conditions. When adjustments are identified, UEU collaborates with Ukiah Valley Fire Authority and City Departments and CAL FIRE to update the CPUC Fire Threat Map data and UEU’s Fire Threat Map accordingly. The UEU’s Fire Threat Map depicts the highest fire threat known.

5. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGY AND PROGRAMS
A. STRATEGY – VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
UEU meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices. For both transmission and distribution level facilities, UEU meets: (1) GO 95 Rule 35; and (2) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35 (See table below). These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat areas. In identified high risk areas that boarder or are close to Tier 2 wildfire threat areas, the radial clearance of branches or foliage from bare conductors will be increased to 12’. The recommended time-of-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. UEU has developed a tree inventory to catalog existing trees and will use specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance. UEU performs this work with arborists and a contract for tree trimming services as needed. Additionally, vegetation clearing is completed at the base of poles to minimize potential sources of spread.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 14
GO 95
Guidelines to Rule 35
The radial clearances shown below are recommended minimum clearances that should be established, at time of trimming, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts where practicable. Reasonable vegetation management practices may make it advantageous for the purposes of public safety or service reliability to obtain greater clearances than those listed below to ensure compliance until the next scheduled maintenance. Each utility may determine and apply additional appropriate clearances beyond clearances listed below, which take into consideration various factors, including: line operating voltage, length of span, line sag, planned maintenance cycles, location of vegetation within the span, species type, experience with particular species, vegetation growth rate and characteristics, vegetation management standards and best practices, local climate, elevation, fire risk, and vegetation trimming requirements that are applicable to State Responsibility Area lands pursuant to Public Resource Code Sections 4102 and 4293.

Voltage of Lines
Radial Clearance of Bare
Line Conductors From
Tree Branches or Foliage
Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volts 4 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts 6 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 110,000 or more volts, but less than 300,000 volts 10 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line
operating at 300,000 or more volts 15 feet

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 15
In addition, UEU Wildfire Prevention Program (Appendix A)will include the following enhancements
• No vertical coverage allowed above UEU transmission lines; • Provide vegetation control in a 30-foot perimeter around the Power Plant and substations conductors.
• For public land, provide easement clear from ground to sky adjacent to UEU facilities; • Work with adjacent customersto get approval for wider clearance on their land. This could include tall, diseased, leaning trees that appear to be at risk of falling into our lines. • Perform additional vegetation removal for fuels reduction in the easement on an annual rotation to ensure CPUC recommended clearances are maintained based on the fire hazard zone where each transmission and distribution line is located; • Consider undergrounding areas where heritage trees are prevalent.

B. STRATEGY - ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
Inspection plays an important role in wildfire prevention. UEU currently follows the inspection cycles outlined in California General Order 95 and General Order 128. UEU’s current inspection activities incorporate several components including annual infrared (IR) patrol of overhead lines and substations, inspection of wood poles, 115 KV lines and GIS data collection and sharing.

Some of the enhancements UEU has implemented the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with IR capability. The frequency of inspections will be increased in the high fire threat areas and when storms or other disasters have significantly impacted our system.

C. STRATEGY - SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Presently UEU is evaluating to upgrade an automated control management system that can be used during outages. UEU is also investigating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology that has the ability to track customer outages as part of an Outage management System.

Other efforts will include the following technology in collaboration with Ukiah PD and Ukiah Valley Fire Authority.:
• Use unmanned aerial vehicles during high fire threat days for early detection, infrared inspection of hard to reach areas, and other uses in the interest of public safety; • Communication system upgrades for wildfire and disaster response and recovery; D. STRATEGY - OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
UEU will operate the system in a manner that will minimize potential wildfire risks including taking all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by UEU electric facilities. UEU will take corrective action for deficiencies when the staff witnesses or is notified of improperly install or maintained fire protection measures. In addition to those general principles, several new operational practices will help reduce the risk of wildfire

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 16
and improve the response time in the event of a fire including:
• During high wildfire, threat periods (red flag warnings) perform only essential work and light work that can be completed while performing observations in areas of concern.

Staff may be placed at Orchard substation and Mendocino Hydroelectric power plant with an electrical technician or lineman, posting linemen in various parts of the city where the fire danger is higher, and having other field personnel patrolling the city. All personnel will directly report to Fire/Police any hazardous observations. All available UEU Staff placed on standby.
• Collect and maintain wildfire and system data necessary for the implementation and evaluation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

E. STRATEGY - SYSTEM HARDENING
UEU’s electric facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. UEU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities. UEU meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, UEU monitors and follows, as appropriate, the National Electric Safety Code. In addition to standards, UEU develops a 5-year capital improvement plan that is considering some or all of the following:
• Addition of remote-controlled field reclosers possibly with arc detection technology; • Clearing poles with operating devices of flammable vegetation around them with a radius of 12’. Perform this for every wood pole with operating devices in the system for resiliency;
• Provide or clear additional access paths along power line easements and to ensure access and ability to perform maintenance.
• As 115KV transmission poles reach end of useful life for Tier 2 areas, replace with steel poles in kind.
• Engineering – Revise construction standards to implement arc suppression components, raptor framing, squirrel guards, tree wire, lightening arresters, and arc suppression fusing. • Create design standards for new equipment for remote controlled reclosers and implement into the SCADA system.
• Convert overhead lines to underground as feasible and economic; • Alternative Technologies- UEU will consider the feasibility of implementing alternative technologies, such as wire-break sensing and arc detection technology, as they become available and cost-effective.
• Replacement of overhead fuses with current limiting, non-arcing models in Tier 2 areas.

F. STRATEGY - PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOTIFICATION
The following is part of this WMP is to ensure a high level of communication with the community during high fire threat periods and disasters.
• Coordinate with UVFA and UPD through the City’s EOC during emergencies or large

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 17
scale outages;
• Utilize communications protocol with County EOC and/or Health and Human Services for notifications to vulnerable groups by utilizing available resources such as reverse 911, Nixle and other City and County wide notification systems; • Actively update social media using the COU Communications Team.

G. STRATEGY - RECLOSING AND DEENERGIZATION
Staff is evaluating and designing changes to our protection system so that during fire season circuits that are faulted do not attempt to reclose. UEU is currently in the process of designing and installing reclosers with radio communication to allow for remotely changing the reclose parameters. Currently three recloser locations are planned. We will continue to shut off power when directed to by Ukiah Valley Fire, Police, Cal Fire, or other emergency responding agencies. UEU will not preemptively shut off power during high fire threat periods for the following reasons:
• Our service territory is only 4.3 square miles and relatively compact and visible with proper technology;
• Turning off the power could put the community at higher risk to wildfire as it could impact water supplies and also create abnormal human activity that could increase opportunity for fire;
• We plan to have real-time information from staff located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
• We plan to use system hardening, situational awareness, vegetation management and the other strategies to avoid shutting off power.

H. STRATEGY - WILDFIRE RESPONSE & RECOVERY
• During a high fire threat event, stage fire protection equipment in a ready status and the COU EOC on standby;
• Staff critical assets for coverage and necessary shift changes during fire events; • Wildfire Response: Execute the City’s EOP
• The City of Ukiah Electric Utility is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies including mutual aid. UEU also participate in the Western Energy Institute’s Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement, which is a mutual assistance agreement covering utilities across a number of western states.

6. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
COU, UVFA, UPD and UEU will maintain a proactive outreach and education strategy to create public awareness of fire threats, fire prevention, and available support during a wildfire or large power outages. Prior to an emergency, communication will include regular messages related to wildfire prevention, such as right-of-way management, tree trimming, line inspection, or other relevant topics. Methods of communication will include newsletters (Power Line Newsletter), website updates, social media posts, and public service announcements.

7. RESTORATION OF SERVICE
In the event of a wildfire or other emergency event, UEU will staff up to coordinate activities to restore service. UEU will restore power, following an event, in cooperation with UVFA, UPD, and COU Departments.

UEU management will oversee restoration and response activities. In the event that additional staff is needed, UEU may leverage mutual aid agencies, other City of Ukiah staff, and local aid organizations. The utility may also engage contractors on an as-needed basis.

The following describes the steps typically taken to begin the restoration process:

Assessment. UEU crews must patrol each line segment to determine the extent of damage that has occurred. The patrol involves assessing equipment access issues, any cleanup/debris removal issues and determining personal protective equipment requirements for the crews. UEU works with the local agency in charge of the fire to access impacted areas as soon as the area is deemed safe by fire officials.

Planning. After initial assessment, UEU supervisors, managers and engineers meet to plan the needed work. The team will work with system operations to prioritize the restoration efforts, targeting the circuits that serve the most critical infrastructure needs.

Mobilize. Based on the size and complexity of the rebuild/restoration efforts, UEU will coordinate the crews and material needs internally if possible. Mutual aid and contractors may be used on an “as needed” basis to provide additional support. Though UEU maintains a material vendor list and has contracts it can draw on for labor and material needs; though in instance of widespread catastrophic damage necessary materials and labor could experience shortages that may delay work.

Rebuild. The rebuild effort lead by UEU will commence as soon as areas become safe and accessible. The initial efforts will be to get the lines up and restore the damaged circuits.

Depending on the extent of damage, demolition may be performed concurrently or after crews start installing new facilities. UEU will incorporate new materials and technologies as indicated and available.

Restore. UEU, mutual aid, or contract crews will restore electric services to homes and businesses as soon as possible after the wildfire. Depending on the extent of damages, residential and business customers may have to perform repairs on their facilities and pass inspections by local agencies

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 19
prior to having full electric service restored.

In most cases, the following restoration priorities will be followed depending on the specific incident and available resources:
• Public safety in the affected areas;
• Worker safety in performing the restoration work;
• Life-support or critical customers;
• Critical infrastructure Hospitals, Key medical, City & County facilities and accounts; Sheriff’s Department and jail, City Police and Fire Departments, other key utility facilities (e.g., water, sewage, gas, citywide communications), Incident Command Site or Base Camp, Incident Evacuation Centers, local broadcast and radio Stations, etc.); • Major commercial activities/accounts critical to continuity of community services (e.g., gas stations, food stores, home supply stores, repair shops, eateries and lodging facilities, financial institutions, etc.;
• Reduce the total number of customers affected;
• Reduce the length of time customers have been without power.

In directing restoration efforts to best achieve the above priorities, UEU Operations Group personnel will generally find it most efficient to dedicate restoration resources to the following types of facilities in the following order of priority to optimally restore electric services:
• Transmission circuit (115 kV);
• Substation and Mendocino Power Plant Facilities;
• Distribution circuits (600 Amp -12 kV);
• Distribution feeders (200 Amp – 12 kV);
• Distribution transformers;
• Service lines.

8. EVALUATION OF THE PLAN
A. METRICS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE
UEU will track two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions; and (2) wires down within the service territory. Tracking the number of ignitions will assist in establishing if the strategies UEU is using for mitigation are working to decrease ignitions. Measuring the instances of wire down in the service territory will identify trends that could contribute to potential ignitions.

Metric 1: Fire Ignitions
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
a) UEU facility was associated with the fire;
b) The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
c) The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 20
d) UEU has knowledge that the fire occurred.

In future Wildfire Mitigation Plans, UEU will provide the number of fires that occurred that were less than 1 acres in size. Any fires greater than 1 acres will be individually described.

UEU has no knowledge of any ignitions that meet the aforementioned criteria.

Metric 2: Wires Down
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within UEU’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wires down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or onto a foreign object.

UEU will divide the wires down metric between wires down inside and outside of the High Fire Threat District. UEU will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms. Instead, UEU will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events.

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
In the initial years, UEU anticipates that there will be relatively limited data gathered through these metrics. However, as the data collection history becomes more robust, UEU will be able to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted. UEU will then evaluate potential improvements to the plan.

C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
Review of this WMP will occur annually and any lessons learned will have the highest priority for improving steps in the plan, any reference programs, and the process for implementation. UEU will present this plan to the Ukiah City Council on an annual basis. The comprehensiveness of this WMP will be assessed by and independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure. The independent evaluator shall issue a report that will be presented to the Ukiah City Council and be made available on the City’s Website.

D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
UEU staff and qualified external stakeholders are encouraged to identify Wildfire Mitigation Plan deficiencies or potential deficiencies to the Electric Utility Director as soon as possible when observed. The Electric Utility Director shall evaluate each reported deficiency and, if the deficiency is determined to be a valid plan deficiency, it shall be entered into a log with the following information:
• Date the deficiency was discovered;
• Description of the deficiency;
• Source identifying the deficiency (e.g., Internal Audit); • Priority based on deficiency severity;
• Assigned corrective action including the date when it must be completed by; • Assigned staff responsible for completing the corrective action;

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 21
• Date corrective action completed.

The Electric Utility Director will go over the log at regularly scheduled Leadership and Supervisor Meetings.

E. MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
UEU will perform inspections on either an annual, 5-year or 10-year cycle, based on GO 95 or fire mitigation recommendations. Any areas found that need improvement or appear hazardous will be documented with a work order, given a priority, and the work order will be tracked. When completed the work order will have a close date.

The Electric Utility Director will assign qualified internal staff or engage a third party to review and audit the equipment and line inspection programs called out in the Wildfire Mitigation Plan after the completion of the first six months of the plan. The assigned auditor will:
• Review records for the inspection programs;
• Interview staff performing inspections to assess their knowledge of the inspection programs;
• Monitor staff performing inspection activities;
• Review deficiencies noted in the programs;
• Identify systemic issues or problems;
• Note the timeliness of corrective actions;
• Pick a random sample of some completed corrective actions and verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions; and
• Issue a written report of findings.

The Superintendent of Utility Operations will review the audit findings and assign corrective action as applicable. A copy of the audit report will be routed to the Director.

9. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387(c) requires UEU to contract with a qualified independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

UEU had the Plan reviewed using Power Engineers in June of 2020 following initial approval of the City Council in November 2019.

The report from the independent evaluator is available on UEU’s website. The results of the independent evaluator were presented to the Ukiah City Council at a public meeting on June 17, 2020.

Appendix A
Ukiah Electric Utility Wildfire Prevention Program

1. Introduction
A. Purpose
The purpose of the Ukiah Electric Utility (UEU) Wildfire Prevention Program is to establish a framework for the electric utility to conduct an effective, coordinated program to prevent catastrophic impacts to its infrastructure from wildfire. This program is a significant component of the UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan required by SB901. The Program aims to prevent the start of wildfires from utility operations in and around the City of Ukiah.

B. Goals & Objectives
a. Prevent electric utility caused wildfire by identifying hazards that pose a potential threat of ignition.
b. Prioritize prevention efforts by increasing inspections on overhead lines in tier 2 fire threat areas.
c. Improve and increase fuel reduction activities conducted during inspections. d. Develop enhanced inspection techniques using Infrared Technology. e. Develop a drone inspection program for overhead lines. f. Create community awareness for utility wildfire prevention.

2. Strategy/Scope of Work
A. Detailed Corrective Maintenance Program Inspections
UEU performs a service territory-wide inspection of its electric distribution system on inspection cycles outlined by General Order 95 (GO95) and General Order 128 (GO128).

In general, utilities must patrol their systems once a year in urban areas and conduct detailed inspections at a minimum of every three to five years. These inspections help mitigate wildfire risk by providing additional information about the electric distribution system and conditions that could result in ignition.

UEU will implement a detailed inspection of facilities in the Tier 2 areas of the City on an annual basis, in late spring, and expanding the inspections to include additional fuels reduction and vegetation management in mid-summer. The following resources will be used to accomplish this:
• UEU-CPUC Fire Threat Map
• Department Inspection Checklist
As part of its efforts to make its electric system more resistant to wildfires, UEU designed and actively maintains a vegetation management program aimed at keeping trees and brush clear of power lines. In areas where current GO95 rules are currently met, UEU is evaluating and assessing areas where vegetation management may need to exceed GO95 requirements, eliminating vegetation overhang near power lines and

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 23
increasing the clearance distances. In identified high risk areas that boarder or are close to Tier 2 wildfire threat areas, the radial clearance of branches or foliage from bare conductors will be increased to 12’.

UEU’s strategy for conducting its vegetation management program focuses on annual, routine inspections. In 2020, UEU began an electronic tree database to project growth and cycles of trimming needed to maintain clearances. The database includes information pertaining to the tree including species, height, diameter, growth rate and clearance. This history provides UEU information on trimming cycles and which trees require work annually.

UEU’s vegetation management operations are conducted in compliance with the City’s Tree Management Guidelines and the City’s Landmark Tree Program Guidelines and Policies. All debris associated with pruning operations are chipped and recycled.

B. UEU piloted a program utilizing infrared (IR) inspections for overhead distribution equipment in 2019 to identify potential issues on electrical equipment and connections that are not identifiable during visual inspections. These issues could potentially lead to wire down or result in ignition sources on the system. The program proved to be extremely successful identifying several instances that would have resulted in significant outage time and lead the Utility to extend the inspections to include underground facilities. Due to the success of the IR Pilot, UEU intends to create a formalized program for periodic IR inspections. The program will include the assembly of a thermography team that will be responsible for performing quality checks on equipment and facilities. These inspections will initially be performed annually in the high fire threat areas. Frequency of these inspections will be evaluated to determine if yearly inspections are warranted.

C. UEU has enhanced its existing inspection efforts by implementing and utilizing drones.

In spring of 2022, UEU began IR inspections using a drone, providing an up close look at the system infrastructure. This innovative technology is capable of capturing imagery from multiple angles, including above and allows qualified personnel to gain visual perspective that cannot be gained from ground inspections. The images and data obtained by these inspections will be evaluated by engineering staff to assess risk, determine trends and patterns of infractions. Drone technology has the potential to rapidly detect problems before they become a safety issue.

D. UEU will coordinate with the City Manager’s office to educate the public on the UEU’s wildfire prevention activities. Dissemination of information will be done through a variety of channels such as UEU’s quarterly newsletter, Facebook and the City’s website.

1. OVERVIEW
A. POLICY STATEMENT
Ukiah Electric Utility has been operating its electric system for over one-hundred years. Public and employee safety is paramount in the operation, construction and maintenance of the electric system. Given recent, catastrophic wildfires in California, the state passed Senate Bill (SB) 901 in September 2018. The law requires utilities to prepare wildfire mitigation measures if the utility’s overhead electrical lines and equipment are located in an area that has a significant risk of wildfire resulting from those electrical lines and equipment. The law requires the wildfire mitigation measures to incorporate specific information and procedures and requires the local publicly owned electric utility, before January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan. Portions of Ukiah Electric Utility’s (UEU) electrical infrastructure is located in and adjacent to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Tier 2 wildfire threat areas.

UEU’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its local community. In order to meet this goal, UEU constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

B. PURPOSE OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) describes the range of activities that UEU is taking or considering, to mitigate the threat of power-line ignited wildfires, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387 for publicly owned electric utilities to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter. The Plan will be iterative, promote continuous improvement year-overyear, and represent best efforts to implement industry best practices in a prudent and reasonable manner.

UEU is a department within the City of Ukiah. For wildfire prevention and response, UEU is subordinate to the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) and the City of Ukiah Police Department (UPD).

The City of Ukiah adopted an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in 20212007 and the Building Community Preparedness and Resilience Program in 2019. The UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan supports the aspirational goals of these plans in the area of Wildland Fire. The objectives of the Plans specifically supported by this UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan are as follows:

1. Educate the public about wildland fire dangers and the steps that can be taken to prevent or minimize their effects.

2. Maintain Emergency Operations Center for coordination of information and resources.

3. Reduce the potential for destructive actions of the fire should ignition occur, utilizing fire preplans, ensuring a properly trained, staffed, and equipped emergency response capability, and timely response to prevent the spread of the fire, minimizing risks to humans and property.

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
A. MINIMIZING SOURCES OF IGNITION

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 6
The primary goal of this WMP is to minimize the probability that UEU’s transmission and distribution system may be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a fire as well as to protect the system from wildfire damage.

UEU is in the process of evaluating prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training to help meet this objective. UEU will implement theose changes consistent with this WMP as staffing and budget allows.

B. RESILIENCY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID
The secondary goal of this WMP is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid. As part of the development and on-going implementation of this plan, UEU will assess new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service and improve the restoration of service.

Other resiliency efforts include mitigating fire fuels inthat areas that are a threat to our facilities and equipment along with reducing the chance that lives or property will be lost to wildfire.

Additionally, improved fire coordination will improve resiliency and help avoid the need for public safety power shut off protocols during high fire threat weather. Fire fuels reduction and improved fire response will be addressed in the UEU Wildfire Prevention Program. that is in development and described in Section 5.

C. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES & PROGRAMS

1. Strategies
The following strategies are part of this Plan and described in more detail in Section 5. • VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
These strategies help to control vegetation near to UEU overhead transmission and distribution lines so they better adhere to clearance specifications. They also include fire fuels mitigation and other work in order to prevent our system from causing a fire and to protect our system from fire.
• ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
These strategies consist of assessment and diagnostic activities as well as associated corrective actions. The practices in this category aim to ensure all infrastructure is in working condition and vegetation adheres to defined minimum distance specifications. • SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
These strategies consist of methods to improve system visualization and awareness of environmental conditions. The practices in this category aim to provide tools to improve the other components of the plan.
• OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
These strategies consist of proactive, day-to-day actions taken to mitigate wildfire risks.

The practices in this category aim to ensure UEU is prepared in high-risk situations, such

Ukiah Police Department
UEU coordinates with UPD and is subordinate for emergency and public safety issues. UEU will work closely with the UPD for situational awareness and other public safety issues related to this WMP.

Ukiah Public Works Department
UEU is investigating opportunities to harden the electrical system and increase survivability for traffic control, water and wastewater infrastructures. During wildfires and other public safety events, UEU closely will work with Public Works to ensure water/wastewater facilities and other critical infrastructure have power. These facilities are not only critical for defending the City from wildfire, but are essential for safe repopulation following any disaster. Additionally, the Mendocino Transit Authority (MTA) is a critical operation for evacuations during emergencies and will be part of planning and operational reviews process.

Ukiah Community Services Department
UEU is partnered with the COU Community Services Department as part of the UEU Wildfire Prevention Program for fire fuels mitigation as well as other programs and projects.

Other COU Departments and Administration
UEU, as a member of the City of Ukiah Team, will work to ensure information regarding warnings, alerts, and widespread outages are shared with other departments. The City’s Communications Team will be an integral part of getting information out to the media and public and will be coordinated with either and/or both the City’s EOC Emergency Management Coordinator as well as any Incident Command in place.

E. CAL OES STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a utility department of the COU located in Mendocino County, UEU may participate in various emergency operation centers depending on the situation and lead agency. As a local governmental agency, COU has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations, adopted in accordance with Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state. The COU maintains a EOP that includes UEU. The COU works closely with Mendocino County to coordinate emergency operations, including the Mendocino County Sherriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES).

The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services (OES) coordinates with Federal, State, and local agencies to prepare, respond, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters. • OES is responsible for maintaining and updating the County Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is an all hazards plan for Mendocino County.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 12
• OES also coordinates and maintains the county Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The EOC can be used during a major incident to carry out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management between multiple agencies. • The Office of Emergency Services provides technical advice to the Sheriff on local emergency declarations and his direct link to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services during disasters or any other critical incident. In the event of a major incident OES can work with CAL OES to obtain a Presidential proclamation. • OES works closely with other local agencies assisting them in preparing emergency plans and in disaster training. OES works as a point of contact for local agencies to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

Pursuant to this structure, UEU coordinates and communicates with the relevant local, state and Federal agencies. This includes participating in City & County EOC exercises as well as providing annual safety meetings. Pursuant to the Emergency Operations Program, an UEU EOC Liaison will participate in the City or County EOC using the standardized Incident Command System (ICS).

4. WILDFIRE RISK AND RISK DRIVERS
A. BACKGROUND
Ukiah typically experiences cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers creating extreme fire weather conditions especially from May through October. Daily temperatures during fire seasons (JuneOctober) can be above 90° Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of less than 30%. Typical vegetation within UEU’s service territory include various types of trees including redwood, oak, pine and fir trees as well as annual grasses. Areas of dense brush and annual grasses are present, and result in high fire danger and significant fires especially during wind events. These conditions combine to create extreme fire danger. The risk of catastrophic wildfire in the area rises increases as the recent trend of drought conditions increases continue.

B. ENTERPRISE SAFETY AND WILDFIRE RISK METHODOLOGY
In order to ascertain the level of risk to our system, staff looked at our historic outages caused by animals, birds, vegetation, car-pole accidents, and overhead equipment failures as a way to assess wildfire risk. These events were selected because such events can create circumstances such as wire down or sparking that can result in an ignition source. Additionally, UEU will review historic fire records to see if there are other areas of risk that should be addressed.

C. SYSTEM AND OPERATIONAL RISK
UEU’s designs and constructs its electric facilities to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standards. UEU uses the CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities and, as such, meets or exceeds all applicable standards in GO 95. Additionally, UEU monitors and follows, as appropriate, the National Electric Safety Code.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 13
Risk drivers associated with design, construction, operations, and maintenance, within our 4.3 square mile service territory include CPUC Tier 2 high fire threat areas that account for approximately 10% of UEU’s facilities.

D. GEOGRAPHICAL & CLIMATE RISK
Within UEU’s service territory and the surrounding areas, the primary risk drivers associated with geography and climate for wildfire are the following:
a) Extended drought;
b) Vegetation type;
c) Vegetation density (especially the West side)
d) Weather;
e) High winds;
f) Terrain;
g) Low humidity;
h) Changing weather patterns
i) Community at risk
j) Fire history
E. CPUC HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICTS
UEU will incorporate the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Fire Threat Map (Exhibit A) into its construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and clearance practices, where applicable.

UEU reviews the CPUC Fire Threat Map annually to identify needed adjustments to hazard threat levels due to changes in urban development and/or vegetation conditions. When adjustments are identified, UEU collaborates with Ukiah Valley Fire Authority and City Departments and CAL FIRE to update the CPUC Fire Threat Map data and UEU’s Fire Threat Map accordingly. The UEU’s Fire Threat Map depicts the highest fire threat known.

5. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGY AND PROGRAMS
A. STRATEGY – VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
UEU meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices. For both transmission and distribution level facilities, UEU meets: (1) GO 95 Rule 35; and (2) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35 (See table below). These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat areas. In identified high risk areas that border or are close to Tier 2 wildfire threat areas, the radial clearance of branches or foliage from bare conductors will be increased to 12’. The recommended time-of-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. UEU has developed a tree inventory to catalog existing trees and will use specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance. UEU performs this work with arborists and a contract for tree trimming services as needed. Additionally, vegetation clearing is completed at the base of poles to minimize potential sources of spread.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 14
GO 95
Guidelines to Rule 35
The radial clearances shown below are recommended minimum clearances that should be established, at time of trimming, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts where practicable. Reasonable vegetation management practices may make it advantageous for the purposes of public safety or service reliability to obtain greater clearances than those listed below to ensure compliance until the next scheduled maintenance. Each utility may determine and apply additional appropriate clearances beyond clearances listed below, which take into consideration various factors, including: line operating voltage, length of span, line sag, planned maintenance cycles, location of vegetation within the span, species type, experience with particular species, vegetation growth rate and characteristics, vegetation management standards and best practices, local climate, elevation, fire risk, and vegetation trimming requirements that are applicable to State Responsibility Area lands pursuant to Public Resource Code Sections 4102 and 4293.

Voltage of Lines
Radial Clearance of Bare
Line Conductors From
Tree Branches or Foliage
Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volts 4 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts 6 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 110,000 or more volts, but less than 300,000 volts 10 feet Radial clearances for any conductor of a line
operating at 300,000 or more volts 15 feet

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 15
In addition, UEU Wildfire Prevention Program (in development)(Appendix A) will include the following enhancements
• No vertical coverage allowed above UEU transmission lines; • Provide vegetation control in a 30-foot perimeter around the Power Plant and substations conductors.
• For public land, provide easement clear from ground to sky adjacent to UEU facilities; • Work with adjacent customers to get approval for wider clearance on their land. This could include tall, diseased, leaning trees that appear to be at risk of falling into our lines. • Perform additional vegetation removal for fuels reduction in the easement on an annual rotation to ensure CPUC recommended clearances are maintained based on the fire hazard zone where each transmission and distribution line is located; • Consider undergrounding areas where heritage trees are prevalent.

B. STRATEGY - ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
Inspection plays an important role in wildfire prevention. UEU currently follows the inspection cycles outlined in California General Order 95 and General Order 128. UEU’s current inspection activities incorporate several components including annual infrared (IR) patrol of overhead lines and substations, inspection of wood poles, 115 KV lines and GIS data collection and sharing.

Some of the enhancements UEU will be exploring includehas implemented the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with IR and possibly LIDAR (light detection and ranging) capability. The frequency of inspections will be increased in the high fire threat areas and when storms or other disasters have significantly impacted our system.

C. STRATEGY - SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Presently UEU is evaluating to upgrade an automated control management system that can be used during outages. UEU is also investigating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology that has the ability to track customer outages as part of an Outage management System.

Other efforts will include the following technology in collaboration with Ukiah PD and Ukiah Valley Fire Authority.:
• Use unmanned aerial vehicles during high fire threat days for early detection, infrared inspection of hard to reach areas, and other uses in the interest of public safety; • Communication system upgrades for wildfire and disaster response and recovery; D. STRATEGY - OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
UEU will operate the system in a manner that will minimize potential wildfire risks including taking all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by UEU electric facilities. UEU will take corrective action for deficiencies when the staff witnesses or is notified of improperly install or maintained fire protection measures. In addition

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 16
to those general principles, several new operational practices will help reduce the risk of wildfire and improve the response time in the event of a fire including:
• During high wildfire, threat periods (red flag warnings) perform only essential work and light work that can be completed while performing observations in areas of concern.

Staff may be placed at Orchard substation and Mendocino Hydroelectric power plant with an electrical technician or lineman, posting linemen in various parts of the city where the fire danger is higher, and having other field personnel patrolling the city. All personnel will directly report to Fire/Police any hazardous observations. All available UEU Staff placed on standby.
• Collect and maintain wildfire and system data necessary for the implementation and evaluation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

E. STRATEGY - SYSTEM HARDENING
UEU’s electric facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. UEU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities. UEU meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, UEU monitors and follows, as appropriate, the National Electric Safety Code. In addition to standards, UEU develops a 5-year capital improvement plan that is considering some or all of the following:
• Addition of remote-controlled field reclosers possibly with arc detection technology; • Clearing pPoles with operating devices are cleared of flammable vegetation around them with a radius of 120’. Perform this for every wood pole with operating devices in the system for resiliency;
• Provide or clear additional access paths along power line easements and to ensure access and ability to perform maintenance.
• As 115KV transmission poles reach end of useful life for Tier 2 areas, replace with steel poles in kind.
• Engineering – Revise construction standards to implement arc suppression components, raptor framing, squirrel guards, tree wire, lightening arresters, and arc suppression fusing. • Create design standards for new equipment for remote controlled reclosers and implement into the SCADA system.
• Convert overhead lines to underground as feasible and economic; • Alternative Technologies- UEU will consider the feasibility of implementing alternative technologies, such as wire-break sensing and arc detection technology, as they become available and cost-effective.
• Replacement of overhead fuses with current limiting, non-arcing models in Tier 2 areas.

F. STRATEGY - PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOTIFICATION
The following is part of this WMP is to ensure a high level of communication with the community during high fire threat periods and disasters.

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 17
• Coordinate with UVFA and UPD through the City’s EOC during emergencies or large scale outages;
• Utilize communications protocol with County EOC and/or Health and Human Services for notifications to vulnerable groups by utilizing available resources such as reverse 911, Nixle and other City and County wide notification systems; • Actively update social media using the COU Communications Team.; G. STRATEGY - RECLOSING AND DEENERGIZATION
Staff is evaluating and designing changes to our protection system so that during fire season circuits that are faulted do not attempt to reclose. UEU is currently in the process of designing and installing reclosers with radio communication to allow for remotely changing the reclose parameters. Currently three recloser locations are planned. We will continue to shut off power when directed to by Ukiah Valley Fire, Police, Cal Fire, or other emergency responding agencies. We UEU will not preemptively shut off power during high fire threat periods for the following reasons:
• Our service territory is only 4.3 square miles and relatively compact and visible with proper technology;
• Turning off the power could put the community at higher risk to wildfire as it could impact water supplies and also create abnormal human activity that could increase opportunity for fire;
• We plan to have real-time information from staff located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
• We plan to use system hardening, situational awareness, vegetation management and the other strategies to avoid shutting off power.

H. STRATEGY - WILDFIRE RESPONSE & RECOVERY
• During a high fire threat event, stage fire protection equipment in a ready status and the COU EOCP on standby;
• Staff critical assets for coverage and necessary shift changes during fire events; • Wildfire Response: Execute the City’s EOP
• The City of Ukiah Electric Utility is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies including mutual aid. UEU also participate in the Western Energy Institute’s Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement, which is a mutual assistance agreement covering utilities across a number of western states.

December 16, 2020 18

6. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
COU, UVFA, UPD and UEU will maintain a proactive outreach and education strategy to create public awareness of fire threats, fire prevention, and available support during a wildfire or large power outages. Prior to an emergency, communication will include regular messages related to wildfire prevention, such as right-of-way management, tree trimming, line inspection, or other relevant topics. Methods of communication will include newsletters (Power Line Newsletter), website updates, social media posts, and public service announcements.

7. RESTORATION OF SERVICE
In the event of a wildfire or other emergency event, UEU will staff up to coordinate activities to restore service. UEU will restore power, following an event, in cooperation with UVFA, UPD, and COU Departments.

UEU management will oversee restoration and response activities. In the event that additional staff is needed, UEU may leverage mutual aid agencies, other City of Ukiah staff, and local aid organizations. The utility may also engage contractors on an as-needed basis.

The following describes the steps typically taken to begin the restoration process:

Assessment. UEU crews must patrol each line segment to determine the extent of damage that has occurred. The patrol involves assessing equipment access issues, any cleanup/debris removal issues and determining personal protective equipment requirements for the crews. UEU works with the local agency in charge of the fire to access impacted areas as soon as the area is deemed safe by fire officials.

Planning. After initial assessment, UEU supervisors, managers and engineers meet to plan the needed work. The team will work with system operations to prioritize the restoration efforts, targeting the circuits that serve the most critical infrastructure needs.

Mobilize. Based on the size and complexity of the rebuild/restoration efforts, UEU will coordinate the crews and material needs internally if possible. Mutual aid and contractors may be used on an “as needed” basis to provide additional support. Though UEU maintains a material vendor list and has contracts it can draw on for labor and material needs; though in instance of widespread catastrophic damage necessary materials and labor could experience shortages that may delay work.

Rebuild. The rebuild effort lead by UEU will commence as soon as areas become safe and accessible. The initial efforts will be to get the lines up and restore the damaged circuits.

Depending on the extent of damage, demolition may be performed concurrently or after crews start installing new facilities. UEU will incorporate new materials and technologies as indicated and available.

Restore. UEU, mutual aid, or contract crews will restore electric services to homes and businesses as soon as possible after the wildfire. Depending on the extent of damages, residential and business customers may have to perform repairs on their facilities and pass inspections by local agencies

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 19
prior to having full electric service restored.

In most cases, the following restoration priorities will be followed depending on the specific incident and available resources:
• Public safety in the affected areas;
• Worker safety in performing the restoration work;
• Life-support or critical customers;
• Critical infrastructure Hospitals, Key medical, City & County facilities and accounts; Sheriff’s Department and jail, City Police and Fire Departments, other key utility facilities (e.g., water, sewage, gas, citywide communications), Incident Command Site or Base Camp, Incident Evacuation Centers, local broadcast and radio Stations, etc.); • Major commercial activities/accounts critical to continuity of community services (e.g., gas stations, food stores, home supply stores, repair shops, eateries and lodging facilities, financial institutions, etc.;
• Reduce the total number of customers affected;
• Reduce the length of time customers have been without power.

In directing restoration efforts to best achieve the above priorities, UEU Operations Group personnel will generally find it most efficient to dedicate restoration resources to the following types of facilities in the following order of priority to optimally restore electric services:
• Transmission circuit (115 kV);
• Substation and Mendocino Power Plant Facilities;
• Distribution circuits (600 Amp -12 kV);
• Distribution feeders (200 Amp – 12 kV);
• Distribution transformers;
• Service lines.

8. EVALUATION OF THE PLAN
A. METRICS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE
UEU will track two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions; and (2) wires down within the service territory. Tracking the number of ignitions will assist in establishing if the strategies UEU is using for mitigation are working to decrease ignitions. Measuring the instances of wire down in the service territory will identify trends that could contribute to potential ignitions.

Metric 1: Fire Ignitions
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
a) UEU facility was associated with the fire;
b) The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
c) The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 20
d) UEU has knowledge that the fire occurred.

In future Wildfire Mitigation Plans, UEU will provide the number of fires that occurred that were less than 1 acres in size. Any fires greater than 1 acres will be individually described.

UEU has no knowledge of any ignitions that meet the aforementioned criteria.

Metric 2: Wires Down
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within UEU’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wires down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or onto a foreign object.

UEU will divide the wires down metric between wires down inside and outside of the High Fire Threat District. UEU will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms. Instead, UEU will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events.

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
In the initial years, UEU anticipates that there will be relatively limited data gathered through these metrics. However, as the data collection history becomes more robust, UEU will be able to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted. UEU will then evaluate potential improvements to the plan.

C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
Review of this WMP will occur annually and any lessons learned will have the highest priority for improving steps in the plan, any reference programs, and the process for implementation. UEU will present this plan to the Ukiah City Council on an annual basis. The comprehensiveness of this WMP will be assessed by and independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure. The independent evaluator shall issue a report that will be presented to the Ukiah City Council and be made available on the City’s Website.

D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
UEU staff and qualified external stakeholders are encouraged to identify Wildfire Mitigation Plan deficiencies or potential deficiencies to the Assistant Electric Utility Director as soon as possible when observed. The Assistant Electric Utility Director shall evaluate each reported deficiency and, if the deficiency is determined to be a valid plan deficiency, it shall be entered into a log with the following information:
• Date the deficiency was discovered;
• Description of the deficiency;
• Source identifying the deficiency (e.g., Internal Audit); • Priority based on deficiency severity;
• Assigned corrective action including the date when it must be completed by; • Assigned staff responsible for completing the corrective action;

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 21
• Date corrective action completed.

The Assistant Electric Utility Director will go over the log at regularly scheduled Leadership and Supervisor Meetings.

E. MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
UEU will perform inspections on either an annual, 5-year or 10 year10-year cycle, based on GO 95 or fire mitigation recommendations. Any areas found that need improvement or appear hazardous will be documented with a work order, given a priority, and the work order will be tracked. When completed the work order will have a close date.

The Assistant Electric Utility Director will assign qualified internal staff or engage a third party to review and audit the equipment and line inspection programs called out in the Wildfire Mitigation Plan after the completion of the first six months of the plan. The assigned auditor will:
• Review records for the inspection programs;
• Interview staff performing inspections to assess their knowledge of the inspection programs;
• Monitor staff performing inspection activities;
• Review deficiencies noted in the programs;
• Identify systemic issues or problems;
• Note the timeliness of corrective actions;
• Pick a random sample of some completed corrective actions and verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions; and
• Issue a written report of findings.

The Assistant Director Superintendent of Utility Operations will review the audit findings and assign corrective action as applicable. A copy of the audit report will be routed to the Director.

9. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387(c) requires UEU to contract with a qualified independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

UEU will have the Plan reviewed using a contract through the Northern California Power Agency following the initial approval of the City Councilhad the Plan reviewed using Power Engineers in June of 2020 following initial approval of the City Council in November 2019.

The report from the independent evaluator will beis available on UEU’s website. The auditor will present the report and findingsresults of the independent evaluator were presented to the Ukiah City Council at a public meeting on June 17, 2020.

Ukiah Electric Utility Wildfire Prevention Program

1. Introduction
A. Purpose
The purpose of the Ukiah Electric Utility (UEU) Wildfire Prevention Program is to establish a framework for the electric utility to conduct an effective, coordinated program to prevent catastrophic impacts to its infrastructure from wildfire. This program is a significant component of the UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan required by SB901. The Program aims to prevent the start of wildfires from utility operations in and around the City of Ukiah.

B. Goals & Objectives
a. Prevent electric utility caused wildfire by identifying hazards that pose a potential threat of ignition.
b. Prioritize prevention efforts by increasing inspections on overhead lines in tier 2 fire threat areas.
c. Improve and increase fuel reduction activities conducted during inspections. d. Develop enhanced inspection techniques using Infrared Technology. e. Develop a drone inspection program for overhead lines. f. Create community awareness for utility wildfire prevention.

2. Strategy/Scope of Work
A. Detailed Corrective Maintenance Program Inspections
UEU performs a service territory-wide inspection of its electric distribution system on inspection cycles outlined by General Order 95 (GO95) and General Order 128 (GO128).

In general, utilities must patrol their systems once a year in urban areas and conduct detailed inspections at a minimum of every three to five years. These inspections help mitigate wildfire risk by providing additional information about the electric distribution system and conditions that could result in ignition.

UEU will implement a detailed inspection of facilities in the Tier 2 areas of the City on an annual basis, in late spring, and expanding the inspections to include additional fuels reduction and vegetation management in mid-summer. The following resources will be used to accomplish this:
• UEU-CPUC Fire Threat Map
• Department Inspection Checklist
As part of its efforts to make its electric system more resistant to wildfires, UEU designed and actively maintains a vegetation management program aimed at keeping trees and brush clear of power lines. In areas where current GO95 rules are currently met, UEU is evaluating and assessing areas where vegetation management may need to exceed GO95 requirements, eliminating vegetation overhang near power lines and increasing the clearance distances. In identified high risk areas that border or are

2019 UEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Revision 2
December 16, 2020 23
close to Tier 2 wildfire threat areas, the radial clearance of branches or foliage from bare conductors will be increased to 12’.

UEU’s strategy for conducting its vegetation management program focuses on annual, routine inspections. In 2020, UEU began an electronic tree database to project growth and cycles of trimming needed to maintain clearances. The database includes information pertaining to the tree including species, height, diameter, growth rate and clearance. This history provides UEU information on trimming cycles and which trees require work annually.

UEU’s vegetation management operations are conducted in compliance with the City’s Tree Management Guidelines and the City’s Landmark Tree Program Guidelines and Policies. All debris associated with pruning operations are chipped and recycled.

B. UEU piloted a program utilizing infrared (IR) inspections for overhead distribution equipment in 2019 to identify potential issues on electrical equipment and connections that are not identifiable during visual inspections. These issues could potentially lead to wire down or result in ignition sources on the system. The program proved to be extremely successful identifying several instances that would have resulted in significant outage time and lead the Utility to extend the inspections to include underground facilities. Due to the success of the IR Pilot, UEU intends to create a formalized program for periodic IR inspections. The program will include the assembly of a thermography team that will be responsible for performing quality checks on equipment and facilities. These inspections will initially be performed annually in the high fire threat areas. Frequency of these inspections will be evaluated to determine if yearly inspections are warranted.

C. UEU has enhanced its existing inspection efforts by implementing and utilizing drones.

In spring of 2022, UEU began IR inspections using a drone, providing an up close look at the system infrastructure. This innovative technology is capable of capturing imagery from multiple angles, including above and allows qualified personnel to gain visual perspective that cannot be gained from ground inspections. The images and data obtained by these inspections will be evaluated by engineering staff to assess risk, determine trends and patterns of infractions. Drone technology has the potential to rapidly detect problems before they become a safety issue.

D. UEU will coordinate with the City Manager’s office to educate the public on the UEU’s wildfire prevention activities. Dissemination of information will be done through a variety of channels such as UEU’s quarterly newsletter, Facebook and the City’s website.

Summary: Council will consider Staff's request to reject all proposals received and direct staff to reinitiate a Request for Proposal process for the replacement of the Todd Grove Park large playground.

Background: The City’s Todd Grove Park is the flagship park of the City and has a variety of deferred maintenance needs. The large playground is a key feature of the park and is in need of replacement due to its age. Staff applied for and received Prop 68 funding to pay for the replacement. A Request for Proposals was developed and released. Three proposals were received.

Discussion: As a key feature of the City’s flagship park, the large playground structure at Todd Grove Park plays a key role in establishing Todd Grove Park as a regional attraction. The large playground is widely considered to be the most desirable playground in the Ukiah Valley. Any replacement of the structure will need to be at least close to the same size and should include a variety of high-value recreational elements that maintain its position as the preeminent playground in the Valley.

Staff evaluated and scored the three submitted proposals using a rubric based on the Request for Proposals (RFP) document. One proposal (Attachment 1) was ruled out due to an unmet licensing requirement, leaving only two proposals to consider. The remaining two proposals received relatively low scores (Attachment 2 and Attachment 3). The poor scores were primarily due to the proposed structures not living up to the standard of the current playground.

Staff proposes updating the proposal to broaden the qualifying criteria for licensing with the hopes that a larger sample of proposals will be received. Additionally, further clarification will be added to the proposal to guide applicants to the kinds of features that will impress the scorers. Once updated, the RFP will be re-released and the process will begin anew.

Recommended Action: Reject all proposals received and authorize staff to reinitiate a Request for Proposal process for replacement of the large playground equipment at Todd Grove Park.

Anti-Microbial Coatings
Problem:

Transmission of Communicable Diseases
As in all public areas, playgrounds can be a place where children transfer bacteria that may cause/carry communicable diseases. As a leading playground equipment manufacturer, we're doing our part to help defend kids against the spread of germs and the risk of disease transmission.

Solution:

Mira-Cote by Miracle Anti-Microbial Coatings for posts, rails, climbers and swing frames contain a compound that inhibits the growth of bacteria that may cause diseases. These coatings cover gripping points on play structures - places where kids hands touch most frequently.

Our proprietary anti-microbial treatment helps protect your children and your playground from bacteria and the wide range of problems that germs can create.

Features & Benefits
Minimizes growth of bacteria, fungus and algae on equipment surfaces Helps reduce odors and stains on play components
Works to make playground surfaces and equipment resistant to mold and mildew Assists in keeping playgrounds looking attractive
Ten color choices (see below)

43 Scope of Work
Todd Grove Park is located in the heart of Ukiah on Live Oak Avenue. The park has a little something for everyone in the community. The expansive 16 acre park has playgrounds, volleyball, horseshoe pits, amphitheater, shaded areas, picnic areas and barbecues. The community pool which offers swim classes, pool rental, and public swim sessions is across the way from the playground. The park is a hub for many community events such as "Sunday's in the Park", movie nights, community yard sales, and many gathering with friends and families enjoying a lazy afternoon at the park for birthday parties and other celebrations. Todd Grove Park is a definite Ukiah Gem!
The current playstructures are starting to show their age. The HAGS wooden structures have held up thru the years but we understand the maintenance issues with an all-wooden structure. The maintenance department mentioned how hard it is to clean up graffiti and find that people carve stuff into the wood as well. It is also hard to make repairs as the structure is outdated. Overall while the structure has held up for the last 15+ years, it needs a modern, low maintenance, new and exciting structure upgrade that is able to withstand the high traffic this park attracts while lasting for many years to come. We are proposing 2 options.

Project Understanding

44 Option #1 we propose to replace the 5-12 structure with a new, innovative, massively huge structure with lots of slides and climbing elements to excite and entice the children of the community. This 5-12 Mega Tower structure from Miracle Recreation encompasses the 5 elements of play in the design. There are multi-sensory play elements such as 5 slides that encourage vestibular (movement and balance), climbing elements such as the Isotope climber which encourages proprioceptive (body position) movement, a bell which engages the sense of auditory. The graduated range of challenging play from lower slides and climbers to high, massive slides provides a way for all children to play together. The ADA steps and transfer points on multiple areas of the equipment offer accessibility for children with limited mobility. There is opportunity for calm with quiet cozy spaces hidden below the decks of the structure. Lastly, the entire playstructure encourages socialization with play. There are areas for solitary, onlooker, parallel, associative and cooperative play. The look of the structure is simple, modern and the colors complement the surrounding landscape of clusters of trees, open spaces and nature.

Scope of Work
Todd Grove Park - Option #1

45 The scope of services for Option #1 shall include tasks described below:

SCOPE OF WORK: The scope of work is to include all necessary labor, materials and equipment and incidentals to provide and install new playground equipment, including border and engineered wood chips for the base. • Project Location: The proposed project is to be located in the existing playground area on the eastern edge of the park along Live Oak Avenue. The project will consist of removing an existing play structure that has aged and is unrepairable.

The replacement structure will be placed in the same location of the existing, with approximately the same footprint.

The new equipment will be age appropriate for children 5-12 years of age. Also included in the project is an upgrade to the existing path and ramp into the playbox to meet current ADA standards. • Project Guidelines: The project will meet current U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) guidelines and standards as set forth in the most current Handbook for Public Playground Safety. Configuration of and equal access to all apparatus and areas will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for public agencies. The project will also meet all American National Standards Institute (ANSI), UL, and Federal requirements/guidelines. • Product Materials: All equipment is to be constructed primarily of metal, plastic, treated/composite wood product, or other suitable material which has been pre-approved by the City. Slide bedways are to be constructed of plastic or composite. The playstructure proposed is comprised of recycled materials. Miracle Recreation is an environmentally conscious company continuously working to improve our processes. Miracle Recreation is certified as compliant with the ISO 14001:2015 standard by our registrar Intertek.
• Site Conditions: Site conditions may include drain inlets/lines, irrigation lines, utility lines, tree roots and/or other obstacles. In no case will the footings be drilled within six (6) feet of any mature trees. Tree canopies or other obstacles will be considered when planning equipment layouts. It is our responsibility to confirm dimensions, locate trees, and ascertain other pertinent conditions. It is our responsibility for all utility identification of the site. We will be responsible for ensuring safety and the security of the site and all equipment and materials during installation. We will provide construction fencing, signage, and any other measures to ensure safety/security. • All services shall be provided in accordance with the City's draft agreement. • Demolition and disposal of existing 5-12 playground structure, bollard on inside of gate and old ADA ramp • Remove and redistribute EWF under new construction to the other parts of the playbox to fill box • Complete installation of new 5-12 playground equipment • Equipment will be newest and latest model in current production • Upgrade existing path and ADA ramp into playbox to meet current ADA requirements. Concrete path shall be the same width as existing path to end at outside (eastern) edge of the historic rock gate. The path should be at a level that allows the gate to swing closed and should be flush with existing asphalt. • Install and spread new EWF under new playground structure • Once project is complete, we will provide a written guarantee, parts list, recommended maintenance schedule, installation manual and specifications, documentation of compliance with CPSC, ASTM, and ADA guidelines, warranty and two sets of any specialized assembly and/or maintenance tools for all equipment.

Scope of Work
Todd Grove Park - Option #1

46 Option #2 we propose to replace the 2-5 and 5-12 structure with two new, innovative structures that complement each other and the environment. The 2-5 structure and 5-12 Mega Tower structure from Miracle Recreation encompasses the 5 elements of play in the design. There are multi-sensory play elements such as 3 slides on the 5-12 and 3 slides on the 2-5 that encourage vestibular (movement and balance), climbing elements such as the Tarantula climber and Loopz 3 Ring climber on the 5-12 and the Tot Rock Climber on the 2-5 which all encourage proprioceptive (body position) movement, a bell and music panel which engages the sense of auditory.

The graduated range of challenging play from the lower typhoon slide and higher Chameleon slides and a large range of climbers provides a way for all children to play together. The ADA steps and transfer points on multiple areas of the equipment offer accessibility for children with limited mobility. There is opportunity for calm with quiet cozy spaces hidden below the decks of the structure. Lastly, the entire playstructure encourages socialization with play. There are areas for solitary, onlooker, parallel, associative and cooperative play. The look of the structure is simple, modern and the colors complement the surrounding landscape of clusters of trees, open spaces and nature.

49 MIRACLE RECREATION EQUIPMENT COMPANY
BRINGS YOU THE THRILLS OF A LIFETIME!
Miracle is one of the nation’s first and most innovative playground equipment manufacturers. We first began
shaping the future of play in 1927 when our founder Johnnie Ahrens created the Whirl — a tilting, kid- powered merrygo-round — based on the timeless insight that, “Kids want action.” That same inspiration has driven 90+ years of
innovation, including the introductions of the first
fiberglass slide (1963), the 25- foot Mega Tower®
(2000s), and the Avalanche Inclusive Slide (2015). Our
latest advance, the Extreme Generation adventure
playground, delivers challenging physical events for kids seeking extreme play. Its design brings play to new heights, with innovative, fully-enclosed skyways that provide
elaborate rope-course-inspired activities far above ground, safely adding an element of perceived risk to any play space.

This never-ending dedication to innovation is the reason why, even after more than 90+ years, the Miracle legacy remains focused on building yours. We believe the
experience of building a playground should be as intuitive as playing on it. From design, specification, funding,
purchasing and installation, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Our customized design process is free because
there should never be a charge to dream.

Let’s get you started by envisioning a playground that is meant for your community and right for your budget. It’s why our legacy has always been about building yours.

50 Miracle Advantage
We believe the experience of building a playground should be as intuitive as playing on it. From design, specification, funding, purchasing and installation, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Our customized design process is free because there should never be a charge to dream.

Our clamp design features a stainless steel,
tamper-resistant fastener that eliminates the
need for stacking multiple clamps.

Versalok
This textured vinyl coating for deck surfaces
helps prevent rapid heat transfer, while the
circle pattern keeps little fingers safe.

Mira-Therm™
The 3D textured pattern makes it easy —and
comfortable — for kids to make their next
moves.

Gator Grip
Provides superior strength and durability,
advanced color fastness and UV resistance.

Compound Resin
We’re committed to providing equipment that meets and/ or exceeds the performance safety specifications established by organizations such as ASTM, CPSC, CSA, CPSIA, IPEMA and EN. To verify product certification, visit www.ipema.org.

Beamer Park, Woodland
This City of Woodland wanted to revamp this community park which sits in the heart of this charming small town. The park is surrounded by other amenities which are very well used by the community such as a tennis court and city pool. Updating this park was a welcome addition to this central gathering spot for the community. The look of the park is modern and fun with the stone grey colors mixed in with tan and brown, it looks different than any other park in the community. The park features lots of cool elements for kids to have fun with including a Gravity Cube and Wavy Wedge Wall Walker for climbing fun, Pirouette to hop and jump on and Concerto Vibes musical instrument so children can make their own music. There are two playstructures so children of all ages can play together. The toddler playstructure has lots of fun activities like a 360 degree Typhoon slide and tot rock climber. The older kids playstructure has multi-level decks, a 855 degree Typhoon slide, 2 other slides, 270 degree Try Rings, Fossil Bluff Climber and Dome Climber.

McConnell Park, Elk Grove
This 6.6-acre park was originally built in 1995 in the Hampton Village neighborhood of Elk Grove. The revitalization project was made possible by the residents of Hampton Village who voted to increase their annual assessments to fund both the construction and maintenance of the new facilities. The renovated park has something for everyone to enjoy! The playgrounds were renovated with separate areas for 2-5 and 5-12 year olds with customized Miracle play structures with bright, fun colors. The outdoor musical space is a place where people of all ages and abilities can collaborate in creative ways. The Concerto line of instruments from Miracle Recreation will nurture discovery and bring joy to children, families and communities. Adults and children can also come together and work out on the Miracle Recreation Fitness Equipment which is installed around the playground. Wabash benches are placed around the play structures, so parents can relax and have a great view of their children playing happily on the new playground. This playground needed an update and we think it came together perfectly!
