PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 SURFACE PREPARATION
A. Allow new pavement surfaces to cure for a period of not less than 14 days before application of marking materials.

B. Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be marked before application of paint. Remove dust, dirt, and other granular surface deposits by sweeping, blowing with compressed air, rinsing with water, or a combination of these methods. Completely remove rubber deposits, existing paint markings, and other coatings adhering to the pavement with scrapers, wire brushings, sandblasting, mechanical abrasion, or approved chemicals as directed by the Owner’s Representative. The application of paint conforming to Fed. Spec. TT-P-1952D is an option to removal of existing paint markings on asphalt pavement. Apply the black paint in as many coats as necessary to completely obliterate the existing markings.

Where oil or grease are present on old pavements to be marked, scrub affected areas with several applications of trisodium phosphate solution or other approved detergent or degreaser, and rinse thoroughly after each application. After cleaning, seal oil-soaked areas with cut shellac to prevent bleeding through the new paint. Pavement marking shall follow as closely as practicable after the surface has been cleaned and dried, but do not begin any marking until the Owner’s Representative has inspected the surface and gives permission to proceed. The Contractor shall establish control points for marking and provide templates to control paint application by type and color at necessary intervals.

The Contractor is responsible to preserve and apply marking in conformance with the established control points.

3.02 APPLICATION

Apply uniformly painted and reflective pavement marking of required color(s), length, and width with true, sharp edges and ends on properly cured, prepared, and dried surfaces in conformance with the details as shown and established control points. The length and width of lines shall conform within a tolerance of plus or minus 3 inches and plus or minus

SECTION 32 17 23 PAVEMENT MARKINGS
PAVEMENT MARKINGS 32 17 23 - 3 of 3
1/8 inch, respectively, in the case of skip markings. The length of intervals shall not exceed the line length tolerance. Temperature of the surface to be painted and the atmosphere shall be above 50 degrees F and less than 95 degrees F. Apply the paint at a wet film thickness of 0.015 inch. Disperse reflective glass beads evenly on the wet paint at a rate of 6 pounds per gallon of paint. Apply paint in one coat. At the direction of the Owner’s Representative, markings showing light spots may receive additional coats. The maximum drying time requirements of the paint specifications will be strictly enforced, to prevent undue softening of asphalt, and pick-up, displacement, or discoloration by tires of traffic. If there is a deficiency in drying of the marking, discontinue paint operations until cause of the slow drying is determined and corrected. Remove and replace marking that is applied at less than minimum material rates; deviates from true alignment; exceeds stipulated length and width tolerances; or shows light spots, faulty distribution of beads, smears, or other deficiencies or irregularities. Use carefully controlled sand blasting, approved grinding equipment, or other approved method to remove marking so that the surface to which the marking was applied will not be damaged.

3.03 PROTECTION
A. Conduct operations in such a manner that necessary traffic can move without hindrance.

Protect the newly painted markings so that, insofar as possible, the tires of passing vehicles will not pick up paint. Place warning signs at the beginning of the wet line, and at points well in advance of the marking equipment for alerting approaching traffic from both directions. Place small flags or other similarly effective small objects near freshly applied markings at frequent intervals to reduce crossing by traffic. Efface and replace damaged portions of markings at no additional cost to the Owner.

3.04 DETAIL PAVEMENT MARKING
A. Use Detail Pavement Markings, exclusive of actual traffic lane marking, at exit and entrance islands and turnouts, on curbs, at crosswalks, at parking bays, and at such other locations as shown. Show the International Accessibility Symbol at indicated parking spaces. Color shall be as shown. Apply paint for the symbol using a suitable template that will provide a pavement marking with true, sharp edges and ends. Place detail pavement markings of the color(s), width(s) and length(s), and design pattern at the locations shown.

3.05 FINAL CLEAN-UP
A. Remove all debris, rubbish and excess material from the site.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 INSTALLATION
A. During Cast In Place Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tile installation procedures, ensure adequate safety guidelines are in place and that they are in accordance with the applicable industry and government standards.

B. Prior to placement of the Cast In Place Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tile system, review manufacturer and contract drawings with the Contractor prior to the construction and refer any and all discrepancies to the Engineer.

C. The specifications of the structural embedment flange system and related materials shall be in strict accordance with the contract documents and the guidelines set by their respective manufacturers. Not recommended for asphalt applications.

D. The physical characteristics of the concrete shall be consistent with the contract specifications while maintaining a slump range of 4 - 7 to permit solid placement of the Cast In Place Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tile system. An overly wet mix will cause the tile to float.

Under these conditions, suitable weights such as 2 concrete blocks or sandbags (25 lb) shall be placed on each tile.

E. The concrete pouring and finishing operations require typical mason’s tools, however, a 4’ long level with electronic slope readout, 25 lb. weights, and a large non-marring rubber mallet are specific to the installation of the Cast In Place Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tile system. A vibrating mechanism such as that manufactured by Vibco can be employed, if desired. The vibrating unit should be fixed to a soft base such as wood, at least 1 foot square.

F. The factory-installed plastic sheeting must remain in place during the entire installation process to prevent the splashing of concrete onto the finished surface of the tile.

G. When preparing to set the tile, it is important that no concrete be removed in the area to accept the tile. It is imperative that the installation technique eliminates any air voids under the tile. Holes in the tile perimeter allow air to escape during the installation process.

Concrete will flow through the large holes in each embedment flange on the underside of the tile. This will lock the tile solidly into the cured concrete.

H. The concrete shall be poured and finished true and smooth to the required dimensions and slope prior to the tile placement. Immediately after finishing concrete, the electronic level should be used to check that the required slope is achieved. The tile shall be placed true and square to the curb edge in accordance with the contract drawings. The Cast In Place

SECTION 32 17 26 CAST-IN-PLACE DETECTABLE/TACTILE WARNING SURFACE CAST-IN-PLACE DETECTABLE/TACTILE WARNING SURFACE 32 17 26 - 5 of 6 Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tiles shall be tamped (or vibrated) into the fresh concrete to ensure that the field level of the tile is flush to the adjacent concrete surface. The embedment process should not be accomplished by stepping on the tile as this may cause uneven setting which can result in air voids under the tile surface. The contract drawings indicate that the tile field level (base of truncated dome) is flush to adjacent surfaces to permit proper water drainage and eliminate tripping hazards between adjacent finishes.

I. In cold weather climates it is recommended that the Cast In Place Detectable/Tactile Warning Surface Tiles be set deeper such that the top of domes are level to the adjacent concrete on the top and sides of ramp and that the base of domes to allow water drainage. This installation will reduce the possibility of damage due to snow clearing operations.

J. Immediately after placement, the tile elevation is to be checked to adjacent concrete. The elevation and slope should be set consistent with contract drawings to permit water drainage to curb as the design dictates. Ensure that the field surface of the tile is flush with the surrounding concrete and back of curb so that no ponding is possible on the tile at the back side of curb.

K. While concrete is workable, a 3/8" radius edging tool shall be used to create a finished edge of concrete, then a steel trowel shall be used to finish the concrete around the tile’s perimeter, flush to the field level of the tile.

L. During and after the tile installation and the concrete curing stage, it is imperative that there is no walking, leaning or external forces placed on the tile that may rock the tile causing a void between the underside of tile and concrete.

M. Following tile placement, review installation tolerances to contract drawings and adjust tile before the concrete sets. Two suitable weights of 25 lb each may be required to be placed on each tile as necessary to ensure solid contact of the underside of tile to concrete.

N. Following the concrete curing stage, protective plastic wrap is to be removed from the tile surface by cutting the plastic with a sharp knife, tight to the concrete/tile interface. If concrete bled under the plastic, a soft brass wire brush will clean the residue without damage to the tile surface.

O. If desired, individual tiles can be bolted together using ¼ inch or equivalent hardware. This can help to ensure that adjacent tiles are flush to each other during the installation process.

Tape or caulking can be placed on the underside of the bolted butt joint to ensure that concrete does not rise up between the tiles during installation. Any protective plastic wrap which was peeled back to facilitate bolting or cutting, should be replaced and taped to ensure that the tile surface remains free of concrete during the installation process.

P. Tiles can be cut to custom sizes, or to make a radius, using a continuous rim diamond blade in a circular saw or mini-grinder. Use of a straightedge to guide the cut is advisable where appropriate.

Q. Any sound-amplifying plates on the underside of the tile, which are dislodged during handling or cutting, should be replaced and secured with construction adhesive. The air gap created between these plates and the bottom of the tile is important in preserving the sound on cane audible properties of the Armor-Tile system as required in various jurisdictions.

3.02 CLEANING, PROTECTING AND MAINTENANCE
A. Protect tiles against damage during construction period to comply with Tactile Tile

SECTION 32 17 26 CAST-IN-PLACE DETECTABLE/TACTILE WARNING SURFACE CAST-IN-PLACE DETECTABLE/TACTILE WARNING SURFACE 32 17 26 - 6 of 6 manufacturer’s specification.

B. Protect tiles against damage from rolling loads following installation by covering with plywood or hardwood.

C. Clean Tactile Tiles not more than four days prior to date scheduled for inspection intended to establish date of substantial completion in each area of project. Clean Tactile Tile by method specified by Tactile Tile manufacturer.

D. Comply with manufacturers maintenance manual for cleaning and maintaining tile surface and it is recommended to perform annual inspections for safety and tile integrity.

When testing side sewers, or portions thereof, the test period shall be 4 minutes and the allowable loss shall not exceed 1 psi. After completion of a test, the air pressure shall be released slowly through the valve, which is incorporated in the test equipment. Air test plugs shall not be removed until the air pressure is no longer measurable.

C. New sewers larger than 16” diameter shall be hydrostatically tested in accordance with the following procedure:

1. After installation, all new trunk sewer pipelines shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to pressure testing. A section of trunk sewer shall be prepared for testing between two structures by plugging the inlet side of the discharge manhole and all openings in the upstream manhole except the discharge opening. All plugs shall be properly braced against the manhole wall to withstand the forces of the test in order to prevent loss in the event of a failure.

2. A section of the trunk sewer prepared as above shall be tested by filling it with water to an elevation 5 feet above the top of pipe at the upstream end of the test section, or 5 feet above the existing groundwater elevation, whichever is greater. The water shall be introduced into the test section at least one hour in advance of the test period and refilled as necessary prior to commencement of the test period to allow the pipe and joint material to become saturated. The loss in water may be determined by measuring the rate of fall of the water level, but the level shall not be allowed to fall more than one foot below the specified head during the test period.

3. For RCP, the pressure shall be maintained for not less than 4 hours and the leakage rate shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe for 24 hours (ASTM C 969-02). For VCP, the pressure shall be maintained for not less than one hour and the leakage rate shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch diameter per mile for 24 hours (ASTM C 1091-03a). For DIP, the pressure shall be maintained for not less than one hour and the leakage rate shall not exceed 70 gallons per inch diameter per mile of pipe of 24 hours (AWWA C600-54T).

D. When leakage exceeds the amount allowed by the specifications, the Contractor shall locate the leaks, submit a repair procedure for the Inspector’s review, and make the necessary repairs.

3.05 MANHOLE TESTING:

A. Hydrostatic Testing: Central San may require hydrostatic testing for leakage after installation and prior to backfilling. Prior to hydrostatic testing, all manholes shall be visually inspected. All defects shall be repaired by the Contractor, with non-shrink grout, to the satisfaction of the Inspector. All pipes entering the manhole shall be sealed at a point outside the manhole walls to include testing of the pipe/manhole joints. Safety lines shall be secured to all plugs utilized. The manhole shall be filled with water to a level 2” below the top of the frame. After a period of at least one hour to allow the water level to stabilize, the manhole shall be refilled and the water level shall be checked. The water level shall again be checked after a period of 4 hours. If the water level drops by more

SECTION 33 30 00 SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES
SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES 33 30 00 - 19 of 26
than 1”, the leakage shall be considered excessive, and the Contractor shall make necessary repairs and retest the manhole.

B. Vacuum Testing: As an alternative to manhole hydrostatic testing, the Inspector may allow the use of vacuum testing. A vacuum of 10” of mercury shall be drawn on the manhole, the valve on the vacuum line of the test hood closed and the vacuum pump shut off. The manhole shall be deemed to have passed the test if the vacuum drop is less than 1” of mercury during a one-minute test period.

3.06 CCTV INSPECTION:

A. Central San will perform a CCTV inspection of the sanitary sewer upon substantial completion of the work.

1. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Inspector to arrange for an acceptable time to conduct the inspection.

2. Defects discovered by the CCTV inspection shall be corrected and the line reinspected at the Contractor’s cost.

3. If a portion of an entire job is to be CCTV inspected, a separate fee will be due as established by Central San. Inspection fees are payable prior to the date of the partial CCTV inspection.

4. The Contractor shall request CCTV inspection once the following have been completed:
a) Sewer pipelines are installed, backfilled, and compacted. b) Structures are in place, channeling is complete, and pipelines are accessible from structures.
c) All other underground facilities, utility piping, and conduits in the vicinity are installed.
d) For street locations, placement of aggregate base has been completed. e) Pipelines to be inspected have been cleaned and flushed. f) Final pressure test has been completed.
g) Mandrel testing is complete.

B. The procedure outlined below will be repeated until all deficiencies observed by CCTV inspection have been corrected to the satisfaction of Central San.

1. The Contractor shall request Central San to schedule the CCTV inspection. a) If Central San's CCTV crew arrives at the jobsite and the work is not ready or accessible, the Contractor will be billed the cancellation fee payable to Central San prior to the date of rescheduled CCTV inspection. The Contractor shall reschedule CCTV inspection as outlined above.

2. Central San will televise the job.

SECTION 33 30 00 SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES
SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES 33 30 00 - 20 of 26

When adjustments are made that position the bottom of the cast iron manhole frame above the existing concrete top block, the top block shall be reconstructed in accordance with the requirements of DWG 19-01 through 19-08. b) Whenever upward adjustment of manholes would result in a completed manhole throat section exceeding 12” in height, the upper manhole section, including the top block and cone section, shall be removed and the adjustment shall be made by reconstructing the structure using manhole barrel and cone sections, grade rings and frames and covers in accordance with the requirements of these Specifications and DWG 19-01 through 19-08.
c) Downward adjustments of manholes shall be accomplished by removal of existing grade or extension rings and cone and barrel sections as required, and reconstructing the structure using manhole barrel and cone sections, grade rings and frames and covers in accordance with the requirements of these Specifications and DWG 19-01 through 19- 08.

4. Rodding inlet adjustments shall be accomplished by one of the methods specified below or as detailed on the Plans:
a) Upward adjustments of rodding inlets shall be accomplished with formed concrete or cast-iron extension rings where the extension will not exceed 8”, including any previous adjustments. When adjustments are made that position the bottom of the cast iron frame above the existing concrete top block, the top

2. Resolution Cal Fire Wildfire Prevention Program
Summary: The City Council will consider authorizing a grant application to the California Climate Investments and Proposition 4 Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Wildfire Prevention Grant Program for hazardous fuels reduction work within the Ukiah Valley Fire District.

Background: The CAL FIRE Community Wildfire Defense Grant (Attachment 1) provides funding to help communities plan for and mitigate wildfire risks. The grant offers up to $950,000 with no local match requirement and includes a three-year period of performance. The application deadline is August 6, 2025.

This grant complements the existing USDA grant that funded the hiring of a dedicated fuels crew by providing the additional necessary equipment, planning documents to prioritize and coordinate ongoing projects, related CEQA, and providing important education and outreach pieces.

Discussion: This funding will allow the City to maintain and expand wildfire hazard mitigation efforts. Priority activities include maintaining the existing fire break in the western hills area now within city limits, supporting work beyond the original scope of the fuels crew grant, and filling operational gaps. The grant will also fund the purchase of a masticator, truck, trailer, and additional crew equipment. Planning efforts will include updates to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), necessary CEQA compliance, and community education and outreach initiatives.

Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 2) to participate in the Community Wildfire Defense Grant application. This is a competitive grant application, but it requires no matching funds. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact from the application, and the Council would have an opportunity to provide direction before accepting any potential grant award.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing an application to the California Climate Investments and Proposition 4 Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Wildfire Prevention Program.

I. INTRODUCTION
This grant guideline includes information about the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Wildfire Prevention (WP) Grants Program. The Program is funded by Capand-Trade auction proceeds appropriated by the California Legislature to agencies that administer California Climate Investments (CCI).

Up to $135 million is being allocated to CAL FIRE’s WP Grants Program in Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 from the CCI Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 (Proposition 4).

For information about CAL FIRE’s other CCI programs, please visit CAL FIRE Grants.

WILDFIRE PREVENTION GRANTS PROGRAM SUMMARY
CAL FIRE’s WP Grants Program provides funding for wildfire prevention projects and activities in and near wildfire-threatened communities that focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities. Funded activities include Hazardous Fuels Reduction, Wildfire Prevention Planning, and Wildfire Prevention Education with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

California’s Strategic Fire Plan serves as a roadmap for project development. Projects are evaluated based on the overall benefit to reduce the threat of wildfires to people, structures, and communities. CAL FIRE will consider the wildfire hazards and risks to an area, the geographic balance of projects, and whether the project is complementary to other wildfire prevention or forest health activities when awarding grants. Projects benefiting disadvantaged communities or low-income communities, as defined by Health and Safety Code section 39713, projects that demonstrate a carbon benefit by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and projects that contain matching funds will receive additional priority. Projects are selected on a competitive basis, and consecutive awards are not guaranteed. Disadvantaged and low-income communities can be determined using the process in Appendix F. Projects that demonstrate that they are providing maintenance of existing fuels reduction projects paid for by CAL FIRE or any other funding sources (i.e., other state funds, federal funds, or private funds) will also receive priority. Projects conducted by any local governmental entity qualified to perform defensible space assessments pursuant to Section 4291.5 in very high and high fire hazard severity zones, as identified by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178 of the Government Code or Article 9 (commencing with Section 4201) of this chapter or by a local agency pursuant to Section 51179 of the Government Code, will receive priority if they utilize the common reporting platform created pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 4291.5 to report that information.

CAL FIRE will provide technical expertise and management oversight of grants but may not be the primary agency or applicant for a project. CAL FIRE reserves the right to fund projects in

total or in part, whichever best serves the objectives of the Wildfire Prevention Grants Program. Project applicants that are selected to receive partial funding will be provided with additional information on their revised funding amount, project performance period, and any other changes to their application, as needed.

PROPOSITION 4 BACKGROUND
In November of 2024, California voters approved Proposition 4, a law proposed by Senate Bill 867, to fund water, climate, wildfire, and natural resource projects across the state of California. Proposition 4, among other things, will allocate $1.5 billion for wildfire prevention, including reducing community wildfire risk and restoring the health and resilience of forests and landscapes. (Pub. Resources Code, section 91500, et seq.) Of this amount, $185 million was made available to CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grants as follows: “for projects that prevent wildfires, increase resilience, maintain existing wildfire risk reduction projects, reduce the risk of wildfires to communities, or increase home or community hardening.” (Pub. Resources Code, section 91520, subd. (h).) Projects shall benefit disadvantaged communities, severely disadvantaged communities, or vulnerable populations. To the extent feasible, a project whose application includes the use of services of the California Conservation Corps or certified community conservation corps, as defined in Section 14507.5, shall be given preference for receipt of a grant under this division (Pub. Resources Code, section 91500, et seq.). In addition, projects that leverage private, federal, and local funding or produce the greatest public benefit will also receive priority (Pub. Resources Code, section 90050, et seq.). Proposition 4 requires that at least 40 percent of the total funds available shall be allocated for projects that provide meaningful and direct benefits to vulnerable populations or disadvantaged communities. Of this 40 percent, at least 10 percent of the total funds available shall be allocated for projects that provide meaningful and direct benefits to severely disadvantaged communities.

GOVERNOR’ S EXECUTIVE ORDER N-25-25
In addition, on March 1, 2025, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-25-25 to ensure that wildfire-safety projects funded under Assembly Bill 100 benefit from streamlining under the Statewide Fuels Reduction Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) created in response to the Emergency Proclamation issued on March 1, 2025. The Governor’s Forest Management Task Force identified these priorities in California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan.

QUALIFYING PROJECT TYPES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PROPOSITION 4 The WP Grants Program can only fund Hazardous Fuels Reduction projects for Proposition 4.

LIMITEDWAIVERSOF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY FORNATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES Federally recognized tribes are sovereign nations with special legal status. These projects may require limited waivers of sovereign immunity when the primary grantee (who signs the grant agreement contract) is a federally recognized tribe. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis and dependent on the type and scope of the project. The grant agreement will identify these important terms and conditions, including the potential limited waiver of sovereign immunity, to ensure the grant agreement may be enforced in case of default.

CAL FIRE will avoid seeking a limited waiver of sovereign immunity when possible and will strive to notify applicants early in the grant application review process if it is anticipated a limited waiver of sovereign immunity will be necessary. CAL FIRE is committed to working collaboratively with California Native American tribes on tailoring limited waiver of sovereign immunity terms to support tribal priorities while also meeting the state’s legal obligations.

CAL FIRE will conduct a risk analysis of all projects that may involve limited waivers of sovereign immunity. In general, limited waivers of sovereign immunity will be required for projects with:
• Advance funds
• High-risk implementation projects, which may include fuels reduction, prescribed burning, cultural burning, ceremonial or other use of fire
• Organizations without demonstrated reliability in sound financial management For questions regarding sovereign immunity, please reach out to program by emailing [email protected], who may refer you to discuss specifics with the appropriate person at CAL FIRE Legal.

34. Records in CAL FIRE’s possession, including but not limited to applicationpackages, Agreements, and grant project financial records, may be subject to public inspection or disclosure pursuant to the California Public Records Act.

35. Grantees should note that CAL FIRE will only serve in a lead agency capacity for activities related to its discretionary approval (i.e., grant-funded activities). In the circumstance where another public agency subsequently seeks to use a CAL FIREled Project Specific Analysis under the California Vegetation Treatment Program for CEQA compliance and there is no related discretionary approval required of CAL

pg. 16
FIRE, CAL FIRE would have no involvement, oversight, or other obligation in the approval, implementation, or documentation of that agency’s actions.

PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
CAL FIRE provides no opinion as to whether projects may be subject to prevailing wages. For determination for prevailing wages, please contact the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) at DIR Prevailing Wage. It is the applicant’s responsibility to budget for prevailing wages in their project cost when applicable.

Please Note: Beginning July 1, 2026, certain fuel reduction work, including but not limited to residential chipping, rural road fuel breaks, and fire breaks funded by the State will be subject to prevailing wage, record keeping, and registration requirements. (California Public Resources Code section 80200 et seq.). While the requirements do not apply to any contract, subcontract, or grant agreement that is fully executed before July 1, 2026, the requirements will apply if a contract, subcontract, or grant agreement is renewed and/or amended after July 1, 2026.

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
California Climate Investments (CCI) administered by CAL FIRE through the Forest Health, Wildfire Prevention, and Urban and Community Forestry Programs contribute to California’s climate goals by reducing GHG emissions from wildfires, stabilizing long- term storage of carbon in biomass, and improving carbon sequestration in California’s natural and working forests.

In terms of direct emissions benefits, the objectives of the WP Grants Program are to:
• Reduce GHG emissionsfrom wildfire and prevent the need for cleanup and rebuilding of communities following destructive wildfire events • Provide fire personnel with more opportunities to access the fire perimeter to extinguish fires more quickly, thereby reducing GHG emissions • Encourage projectsthat result in smaller scale fires to reduce GHG emissions and reduce the carbon impact
• Improve health and resilience of treated areasfor increased carbon sequestration
• Improve public awareness and reduce human caused wildfireignitions • Promote orderly growth and development through land use planning which helps to reduce GHG emissions
Eliminating wildfire starts, mitigating wildfires before they progress into wildland areas and communities, and facilitating firefighting efforts and safety all contribute to reduced wildfire emissions over time. The WP Grants Program also includes support for planning, such as

pg. 17
development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans, and education programs that promote fire- safe communities to capture the benefits and synergy of collective, community-wide efforts.

However, fuel reduction activities also release GHG emissions at the time of treatment, and CAL FIRE must balance emissions costs and benefits of the Wildfire Prevention and Forest Health Programs to comply with the law. Minimizing emissions of fuel treatment activities, using disposal methods other than open burning, and optimizing vegetation health options in the development of treatment prescriptions are important steps in project development to achieve balanced emissions costs and benefits.

Grantees must submit information about project size, vegetation type, location, and treatment area so that CAL FIRE staff may complete emissions calculations for the project. Calculations will be completed using an existing methodology produced by CAL FIRE and the California Air Resources Board for the Wildfire Prevention Grants Program. Emissions effects of activities that do not fit the existing methodology will be described in detail. The grant application review process will include consideration of project activities with emissions benefits.

PROPOSITION 4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Wildfire Prevention Grants are funded by Proposition 4 from the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024. The funds are appropriated by the California Legislature to CAL FIRE, who is responsible for administering the funds.

Accountability and transparency are essential elements for Proposition 4. Full public disclosure is required to provide information on how administering agencies are investing appropriations and what benefits are being achieved from those investments. CAL FIRE is responsible for collecting project information and reporting.

For each grant project, grantees must submit reporting data to CAL FIRE on a quarterly basis.

pg. 18
III. GRANT APPLICATION REVIEW AND EVALUATION FACTORS

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE INVESTMENTS (CCI) REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Wildfire Prevention Grants are funded in whole or part by Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds appropriated by the California Legislature to CAL FIRE, who is responsible for administering funds allocated from the CCI Program.

Accountability and transparency are essential elements for CCI. Full public disclosure is required to provide information on how administering agencies are investing appropriations from the GGRF and what benefits are being achieved from those investments. CAL FIRE is responsible for collecting project information and reporting.

For each grant project with a total project cost of greater than $1,000,000.00, grantees must submit jobs reporting data to CAL FIRE on a semi-annual basis in June and December. The reporting cycles cover information for the following periods: December 1 – May 31, June 1 – November 30. All grant projects meeting that criteria will be notified of the reporting dates and the data requirements.

REVIEW PROCESS
Applications will be reviewed by CAL FIRE. The application review involves three levels:
• Local – CAL FIRE Units and Contract Counties
• Regional – CAL FIRE Northern and Southern RegionalOffices • Statewide – Statewide review team. The statewide review team will prepare a list of recommended projects and activities for consideration by the Director of CAL FIRE. The Director will make decisions on approved projects and activities taking into consideration the recommendations of the statewide review team.

Emphasis at each level will be placed on projects and activities that address hazards that reduce potential risk from wildfire in and near communities. The department shall consider the fire risk of an area, the geographic balance of projects, and whether the project is complementary to other wildfire prevention or forest health activities when awarding local assistance grants. Additionally, to the extent possible, a project or activity will not be selected if it conflicts or competes with another proposed or approvedproject.

pg. 19

The instructions on how to draw and submit a Geopoint and Polygon in the Project Mapping Program can also be found at CAL FIRE WP Grants.

There is a video and a quick reference guide with screenshots of the online mapping program. •Applications for Hazardous Fuel Reduction that do not include Treatment Area Polygon(s) in the Project Mapping Program will not be accepted. •Applications for Wildfire Prevention Planning and Wildfire Prevention Education projects will submit a Geopoint only.

Complete all documents accurately to avoid delays due to corrections and revisions prior to final approval. If revisions are necessary during Stage 2, then the revised documents will be used in the final grant agreement between the State and the grantee. • Late submissions will be rejected. No exceptions. Late is defined as: after 3:00 PM Pacific Time on the due date according to the date stamp on the CAL FIRE Grants Portal. To avoid possible issues with the Grants Portal (such as internet connectivity and internet speed), applicants are highly encouraged to apply as early aspossible.

DISQUALIFICATION OF APPLICATION
CAL FIRE may consider an application inadequate and, therefore, disqualified from the selection process for several reasons. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Application is not complete.
• Application contains significant inconsistencies with spatial data or project acresproposed for treatment.
• The application is not submitted by an eligible applicant in the Grants Portal. • The project does not meet any of the other eligibility criteria outlined in the Grant Guidelines.

STAGE 2 - GRANT APPLICATION REVIEW AND SELECTION
Sacramento staff will review the project application packages for completeness and determine if the project meets the objectives of the program. Applications found to meet the initial criteria will continue in the multi-level review and selection process.

Incomplete applications will be disqualified.

Notification of grants selected for funding will be sent to the applicant. The grant agreement package for successful grant applicants will be emailed after selection and will include any required grant agreement forms and instructions to proceed to Stage 3. The grant agreement template can be found online, but may be subject to change prior to the execution of a final agreement.
2024 Standard Grant Terms and Conditions
STAGE 3 - GRANTS AWARDED
Awarded grant applicants shall review and return original signed agreements, and any additional information required, following the instructions provided in the correspondence.

Grant agreement packages not completed or received by the agreement deadline may not be eligible for funding.

PROJECT AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, AND TERMINATIONS
STAGE 4 – COMPLETED GRANT AGREEMENTS
Once the grant agreement is received and signed by the State Fire Marshal or designee, the approval process is complete. All agreements must be signed and submitted per deadlines established by CAL FIRE.

A CAL FIRE designee will be named as the designated contact. The CAL FIRE designee will work with the Region Program Manager on any grant project issues.

The CAL FIRE designee will conduct periodic and final inspections to ensure compliance with the project plan and environmental rules and regulations. All project messaging and documents must be approved by CAL FIRE.

CAL FIRE may perform an audit at any time during or upon completion of the project as described in this guide under “State Audit.”
Grant Termination Date: All project and activity work related to the grant must be completed by the project completion date identified in the executed grant agreement.

Before work on the project begins, a Grant Agreement may be terminated by CAL FIRE or the grantee upon 30 days advanced written notice to the other party. After work begins on the Project, termination may occur: (1) if CAL FIRE and the grantee mutually agree to terminate the agreement; (2) if the State determines Grantee has made a material misrepresentation, violated this Agreement, failed to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise determines there is cause to do so; or (3) if the State gives 30-days written notice of termination to Grantee.

Once a Grant Agreement has been signed, it may only be amended with advanced written consent of both CAL FIRE and the grantee. Any amendment requests including the ability to extend the project timeline, where permissible, must be submitted to CAL FIRE sixty (60) days before the agreement end date using the Grants Portal system. CAL FIRE reserves the right to waive the sixty (60) days in extenuating circumstances.

A grantee wishing to change the scope or budget of an approved project at any stage shall submit the proposed change in writing, on entity letterhead, to CAL FIRE for review. Any change must be consistent with the need cited in the original application and authorizing legislation. Any modification or alteration to the grant agreement on file must be submitted to the State for review and may require a new signed amended agreement. Any reduction in the actual number of acres being treated in a hazardous fuel reduction grant may result in a corresponding reduction of the grant award.

pg. 25

ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
The grantee shall maintain an accounting system that follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The accounting system must accurately reflect fiscal transactions, using the necessary controls and safeguards. This system shall provide an adequate audit trail, including original source documents such as receipts, progress payments, invoices, purchase orders, timecards, canceled checks, etc. Please redact account numbers and personal identifying information before submitting invoices. The system shall also provide accounting data so the total cost of each individual project can be readily determined. CAL FIRE may request records and documentation at any time. These records shall be retained by the grantee for a period of three years after final payment is made by the State or one year after final disposition of any disputed audit findings, whichever occurs later, unless it is the grantee’s policy to retain records for a longer duration. Avoid audit exceptions – keep accurate records.

LOSS OF FUNDING
The following are examples of actions that may result in a grantee’s loss of funding:
• Grantee withdrawsfrom or fails to complete the funded project (in substantial conformance with the Agreement).
• Grantee failsto submit all required documentation within the time periods specified in the grant agreement.
• Grantee failsto submit evidence of CEQA or NEPA compliance within 12 months of the execution of the agreement as specified by the grant agreement. • Grantee changes the project scope without the approval of theState. • Grantee or the State terminatesthe project in accordance with the terms and conditions in the grant agreement.
• Grantee engages in activities that would lead to the project not achieving GHG emissions reductions.
• Grantee or anyone acting on behalf of Grantee shall not engage in fraud, waste, or the abuse of Grant Funds in violation of California Penal Code section 424 et seq.

Grantee shall cooperate in any investigation of such activities that are suspected in connection with this Agreement.
• Recipients of Grant Funds shall receive no more than the fair market value of an arm’s length transaction for any goods or services provided under this Agreement.

Grantee shall provide evidence to the State upon request of compliance with this Section 11.e. Violation of this Section 11.e. will result in a violation of CaliforniaPenal Code section 424, subd. a.

pg. 26
PROPOSITION 4 INDIRECT COST RATES
For grants awarded for projects under Proposition 4, Wildfire Prevention Grants will reimburse the grantee’s indirect costs. The grantee may request one of the following indirect cost rates:
• The grantee’s federal negotiated indirect cost rate, pursuant to its Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA).
• The 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate specified in Part 200 of Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
• A rate negotiated by the grantee with another state agency within the last five years. • A rate proposed by the grantee in the grantee’s program application with the administering state agency if the grantee does not have an existing state rate. • Grantee can request an indirect cost rate of 12% to 20%.

In the event of an audit, projects with budgets that include administrative costs must be able to document the appropriateness of these expenses. If the applicant does not have an existing NICRA, a typical method for documentation of administrative overhead expenses is a Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). A CAP is a formal accounting plan used to calculate and document the method for recovering overhead costs. The CAL FIRE strongly recommends that grantees consult with an accounting professional to develop an appropriate method for calculating the overhead rate and prepare a CAP.

pg. 27

PROJECT COSTS
Project costs must be consistent with the approved project and incurred during the performance period as specified in the grant agreement.

Budget Item Eligible Cost Required Documentation
Salaries and Wages

Budget Item Eligible Cost Required Documentation
Indirect Costs
(Grantee Only)
Indirect Costs are costs associated with doing
business that are of a general nature and are incurred to benefit two or more functions within the grantee
organization. These costs are not usually identified
specifically in the grant agreement, project, or activity, but are necessary for the general operation of the
organization. Examples include salaries and benefits of employees not directly assigned to a project; functions such as personnel, accounting, budgeting, audits, business services, information technology, janitorial, and rent, utilities, supplies, etc. Functions included as direct versus indirect costs must be applied consistently for all activities within the Grantee organization, regardless of fund
source. The maximum allowable indirect charge for this
grant program for all entities including UC’s and CSUs
should generally not exceed 12%, unless an exemption is approved by CAL FIRE (see Indirect Rate Exemption). For grants awarded for projects under Proposition 4, Wildfire Prevention Grants will reimburse the grantee’s indirect costs. The grantee may request one of the following
indirect cost rates:

The grantee’s federal negotiated indirect cost rate,
pursuant to its Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA).
• The 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate
specified in Part 200 of Title 2 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
• A rate negotiated by the grantee withanother
state agency within the last five years.
• A rate proposed by the grantee in the grantee’s
program application with the administering
state agency if the grantee does not have an
existing state rate.
• Grantee can request an indirect cost rate of 12%
to 20%.

Applied on a percentage (%) basis on direct costs
except for equipment. Documentation related
to the determination of the grantee’s indirect
cost rate must be retained by the grantee and
made available upon request for audit purposes.

pg. 30

PAYMENT OF GRANT FUNDS
Funds will be disbursed only when there is a fully executed grant agreement between CAL FIRE and the grantee. An agreement is considered fully executed upon signature and approval by the State Fire Marshal or designee. All payments are made on a reimbursement basis, except in cases where CAL FIRE authorizes advance payments. (i.e., the grantee is invoiced for services, products, or supplies; invoices CAL FIRE for same; and is reimbursed by the State upon approval of the invoice). No work prior to or after the grant period will be reimbursable.

CAL FIRE has the legal right to conduct a spot inspection to verify that work invoiced has been satisfactorily completed. If a financial report is incomplete or non- reimbursable, it will be returned to the grantee.

STATE CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAWS
All applicants, individuals who participate in the review of submitted Project Proposals, and grantees are subject to state and federal conflict-of-interest laws. Applicable statutes include, but are not limited to, California Government Code section 1090 and Public Contract Code sections 10365.5, 10410, and 10411. These statutes include, but are not limited to, prohibitions on the following conduct:

1. Current State Officers or Employees: No State officer or employee shall engage in any employment, activity, or enterprise from which the officer or employee receives compensation or has a financial interest, and which is sponsored or funded by any State agency, unless the employment, activity, or enterprise is required as a condition of regular State employment. No State officer or employee shall contract on his or her own behalf as an independent contractor with any State agency to provide goods orservices.

2. Former State Officers or Employees: For the two-year period from the date he or she left State employment, no former State officer or employee may enter into a contract in which he or she engaged in any of the negotiations, transactions, planning, arrangements, or any part of the decision-making process relevant to the contract while employed in any capacity by any State agency. For the twelve-month period from the date he or she left State employment, no former State officer or employee may enter into a contract with any State agency if he or she was employed by that State agency in a policy-making position in the same general subject area as the proposed contract within the twelve-month period prior to his or her leaving State service.

Any individual who has participated in planning or setting priorities for a specific grant solicitation over and above the public comment process or who will participate in any part of the grant development and negotiation process on behalf of the State is ineligible to receive funds or personally benefit from funds through that solicitation. Failure to comply with conflict-of-interest laws, including business and financial disclosure provisions, will result in the Project Proposal being rejected or any grant agreement made in violation of the conflict-of-interest laws being

pg. 31
declared void. CAL FIRE may request additional documentation during the performance of the grant, including review of financial progress reporting, or during State Audit to verify that a conflict of interest does not exist. Other legal actions may also be taken.

If an applicant has any questions about compliance with conflicts of interest laws, the applicant should consult the California Fair Political Practices Commission or a qualified attorney.

CAL FIRE may require Grantee to establish conflict-of-interest policies and procedures and maintain adequate controls to ensure that the grantee or anyone acting on behalf of the grantee does not have any conflicting personal or financial interest associated with activities funded by the grant project. CAL FIRE may request additional documentation during the performance of the grant, including during review of financial or progress reporting, or during State Audit to verify that a conflict of interest does not exist.

Private Benefit Prohibited
Grantee will not be reimbursed for any costs that exceed the fair market value of an “arm’s length” transaction for goods or services rendered in furtherance of the grant project.

An “arm’s length” transaction exists where the parties have an adverse (or opposing) interest. For example, a seller wants to sell his goods at the highest possible price, while a buyer wants to buy at the lowest possible price. These are adverse interests. In negotiating with a person, an adverse interest is assumed if that person is otherwise unrelated to you in the sense of not being in a position to exercise substantial influence over you or your affairs. If the person is in a position to exercise substantial influence over your affairs, then an arm’s length standard requires additional precautions to eliminate the effect of the relationship. Using a conflict-of-interest policy, information about comparable transactions between unrelated parties, and reliable methods for evaluating the transaction, are examples of precautions that would help make the negotiation process equivalent to one between unrelated persons.

Fair market value is the price at which goods, services, or property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy, sell, or transfer the goods, services, or property, and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

Grant recipients must avoid or scrutinize transactions that exhibit signs of actual or possible conflicts-of-interests and should avoid even the appearance of conflicts. The appearance of a conflict of interest occurs when a person in a position of authority over an organization, such as a director, officer, or manager, may benefit personally from a decision he or she could make.

Conflict-of-interest red flags may also include organizations that engage in transactions that are less than “arm’s length” indicating there may be a bargain or gift element, such as transactions with friends and relatives, or receiving gifts from contractors. In addition, transactions with organizations that have several employees or Board members who are personally or professionally related should be highly scrutinized.

pg. 32

ADVANCE PAYMENTS
In accordance with Public Resources Code section 4124.5, or other applicable statutory authority, advance payments may be considered for non-profit organizations, local agencies, Resource Conservation Districts, special districts, and Native American tribes. Advance payments are solely at CAL FIRE’s discretion and eligibility and may be subject to change. An advance request form must be submitted identifying how funds may be used over a six-month period.

Advance payments must be deposited into a federally insured, interest-bearing account that provides the ability to track interest earned and withdrawals. Any interest earned on advance payment funds must be accounted for as project income and used toward offsetting the project cost or returned to the STATE. Refer to Appendix K on calculations and supporting documentation for interest income. All other advance payment requests shall not exceed 25% of the total grant award.

Advances must be fully utilized within a six-month period unless additional time has been requested and is approved by CAL FIRE. Any Advance Payment, or portion thereof, that is not spent within the later of six months or the spending timeline approved by the CAL FIRE must be returned to the State and will be returned to the grant balance.

Additional advances may not be requested until acceptable documentation is received that the previous advance has been fully liquidated on eligible expenses. In addition, an accountability report must be submitted to CAL FIRE every four months upon receipt of funds until funds have been fully liquidated.

CAL FIRE processes for approving and managing grant advances are subject to change.

STATE AUDIT
Projects may be subject to an audit at any time during the Project Performance Period and for three years following Project completion. The purpose of the audit is to verify that project expenditures were properly documented.

If your project is selected for audit, you should include all books, papers, accounts, documents, or other records of the grantee, as they relate to the project for which state funds were granted.
• To expedite the audit, the grantee must have the project records readily available, including the source documents, and canceled warrants. The grantee must also make an employee who has knowledge of the project and the accounting procedure or system available to assist the state auditor. The grantee must provide a copy of any document, paper, record, or the like as requested by the auditor. • Projects may be suspended if the audit reveals discrepancies, or if CAL FIRE believes there are improprieties or issues with the project.

APPENDIX A – ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE FOR CAL FIRE PROJECTS NOTE: Grantee must submit proof of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance within one year of the execution of the grant agreement, unless a longer period is approved by CAL FIRE. To ensure this occurs in a timely manner, the grantee should contact the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Local Unit Contact as soon as possible after receiving the executed Grant Agreement.

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) COMPLIANCE
Project work involving Federal actions must comply with NEPA.

Regardless of jurisdiction, CEQA Compliance is required when using Wildfire Prevention grant funds. For Federal jurisdictions that meet the requirements of Public Resources Code (PRC) section 4799.05(d)(1), a CEQA notice of exemption will need to be filed. This means that prescribed fire, reforestation, habitat restoration, thinning, or fuel reduction projects undertaken, in whole or in part, on federal lands to reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire that have been reviewed under NEPA may not need additional analysis and would be statutorily exempt from CEQA. See Item #5 below.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
Within one year of the execution of the grant agreement and prior to commencing any work that could impact the environment, CAL FIRE requires proof of adequate compliance with CEQA.

This may be accomplished by one or more of the following methods:

1. Notice of exemption filed with the State Clearinghouse and the county clerk in the manner specified in subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 21108 or subdivisions (b) and (c)of Section 21152.

2. Initial study and negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration and all associated noticing documents filed with the State Clearinghouse and the county clerk.

3. Draft and final environmental impact report and all associated noticing documents filed with the State Clearinghouse and the county clerk.

4. Including shapefiles identifying the “treatment” area surveyed where activities will be conducted during the grant period.

5. Timber harvesting permit or notice in compliance with the California Forest Practice Act and Rules for projects that undertake timber operations per PRC § 4527. Note that use of timber harvest documents for CEQA compliance in the absence of timber operations is not appropriate, as the Forest Practice Act and Rules do not apply in these circumstances.

Applicants that will be utilizing timber harvest documents for CEQA compliance should identify within the harvest documents that they are receiving CAL FIRE grantfunding.

6. Finding of no significant impact-decision notice, categorical exclusion- decision memo, or environmental impact statement-record of decision prepared in compliance with the

pg. 38
NEPA for projects that are exempt from CEQA pursuant to PRC § 4799.05(d)(1). When using a NEPA document, per PRC § 4799.05(d)(4)(A), a CEQA notice of exemption needs to be filed with the State Clearinghouse and with the county clerk in the county in which the project will be located in the manner specified in subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 21108 or subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 21152. The lead agency will also need to post the notice of exemption on its internet website together with a description of where the documents analyzing the environmental impacts of the project under the federal National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 are available for public review.

7. Completed and accepted project-specific analysis under the CalVTP (California Vegetation Treatment Program) and all associatednoticing documents filed withthe State Clearinghouse and the countyclerk.
1 For exempt projects where the grantee is a public agency , the grantee must prepare and file the notice of exemption for an exempt project. For exempt projects where the grantee is not a public agency (e.g., Fire Safe Council), CAL FIRE or another public agency will be responsible for preparing and filing the notice of exemption.

For non-exempt projects where the grantee is a public agency, the grantee will assume the role of lead agency. For non-exempt projects where the grantee is not a public agency (e.g., fire safe council), CAL FIRE or another public agency will need to assume the role of lead agency. The lead agency is responsible for: (a) performing the necessary environmental effects analysis; (b) preparing environmental documents; and (c) filing associated notices.

The lead agency may require the grantee to prepare, or retain a consultant to prepare, the environmental documents required for demonstrating adequate compliance with CEQA. When CAL FIRE is the lead agency, the grantee must work closely with CAL FIRE staff to ensure the environmental documents reflect CAL FIRE’s independent judgement. 1 “Public agency” includes the following:

PRC § 21062. “Local agency” means any public agency other than a state agency, board, or commission. For purposes of this division a

pg. 39
Grantees should ensure they ask for adequate funds for environmental work when applying for grants. When preparing their budgets, grantees should consider the need to contract with appropriate resource professionals to do the necessary environmental effects assessment and document preparation work. This may include biologists, professional archaeologists, air quality experts, registered professional foresters, environmental planners, etc.

For all environmental documents where CAL FIRE is the lead agency, except timber harvesting permits or notices, cultural resources must be assessed per the procedures outlined in Cultural Resources Review Procedures for CAL FIRE Projects. This may require the grantee to consult with the appropriate CAL FIRE archaeologist to determine if impacts to cultural resources are possible and what, if any, assessment or mitigation work will have to be done. This consultation should be done as early in the planning process as possible.

CAL FIRE must review all environmental documents and associated notices for adequate compliance with applicable procedures and CEQA.
redevelopment agency and a local agency formation commission are local agencies, and neither is a state agency, board, or commission.

PRC § 21063. “Public agency” includes any state agency, board, or commission, any county, city and county, city, regional agency, public district, redevelopment agency, or other political subdivision.
14 CCR § 15368 “Local agency” means any public agency other than a state agency, board, or commission. Local agency includes but is not limited to cities, counties, charter cities and counties, districts, school districts, special districts, redevelopment agencies, local agency formation commissions, and any board, commission, or organizational subdivision of a local agency when so designated by order or resolution of the governing legislative body of the local agency.
14 CCR § 15379 “Public agency” includes any state agency, board, or commission and any local or regional agency, as defined in these Guidelines. It does not include the courts of the state. This term does not include agencies of the federal government.

Payee Data Record form (STD. 204) – CAL FIRE utilizes this form internally for all grantees. This form is required for all applicants, including local governments, despite the language on the form. Payee Data Record STD. 204
APPENDIX E – CALMAPPER (AWARDED GRANTS ONLY)
All California Climate Investments (CCI) and Prop 4 funded projects will be recorded in CAL FIRE’s Management Activity Project Planning & Event Reporter (CalMAPPER). To achieve this, grantees must provide spatial information via shapefiles about where the project occurs on the landscape, identify treatments for their project, and identify what activities occurred.

Submission of all activities completed must be submitted with invoices or other methods identified by the Grants Program. This may be requested as often as ground-disturbing work is performed.

APPENDIX F – LOW-INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
California Climate Investments must meet minimum levels of investments to projects that benefit residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low- income households collectively referred to as “priority populations” and defined by Health and Safety Code section 39713.

CAL FIRE’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program and Forest Health Program has a goal of funding a percentage of projects that benefit Low-Income Communities or Households. This is not a requirement for eligibility, but preference will be given to projects that benefit a priority population.

Achieving “Low-Income Community or Household” designation requires three steps:

Step 1: Identify the Priority Population(s). Located within a census tract identified as a disadvantaged community or low-income community, or directly benefit residents of a lowincome household. California Air Resource Board’s Community Investments webpage may be used to identify the census tract.

Step 2: Address a Need. Meaningfully address an important community or household need for priority populations; and
Step 3: Provide a Benefit. Using the evaluation criteria, identify at least one direct, meaningful, and assured benefit that the project provides to priority populations.

The following tables will assist you in achieving the designation and can be found on the California Air Resources Board CCI Quantification, Benefits, and Reporting Materials webpage.

The request shall include a detailed justification as a separate attachment to the grant application indicating why a higher rate is needed for the grant project along with supporting documentation as to how the higher indirect rate is determined. Supporting documentation may include, but is not limited to, the entity’s Federally approved Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Proposal. Under no circumstances will CAL FIRE approve an indirect rate exceeding 20% for CCI funded projects. Submittal of the justification and supporting documentation does not guarantee approval of the higher rate which is solely at CAL FIRE’s discretion.

Applicants requesting the higher rate may include the higher rate within the total application request and within the budget breakdown. CAL FIRE will evaluate the request for a higher indirect rate concurrently with the grant application. If the project is approved, but the higher indirect rate is not, CAL FIRE will notify the Grantee of the reduced award amount and request changes to the budget, if needed.

pg. 46

APPENDIX K – CALCULATING INTEREST ON ADVANCE PAYMENTS
Interest on Advance Payments must be reported on invoices as Program Income no less frequently than quarterly, unless otherwise waived by CAL FIRE. Documentation to be provided with the invoice should include a copy of the statement showing the grantee’s name, initial deposit of the advance funds into the account and the interest rate earned for each statement period associated with the invoice period reported until the advance funds have been fully liquidated. It is advised that the account number and other sensitive information be redacted from the bank statement.

Separate Account for Advance Payments: Advance funds deposited in a separate interestbearing account that is not comingled with any other funds should provide a copy of the statement showing the interest earned for each statement period. The amount reflected as interest earned on each statement should tie to the Program Income reported on the invoice, unless there is additional program income earned.

Formula:

Remaining advance funds x interest rate % = Annual Interest.

Annual Interest/365 days =Daily Rate.

Daily Rate x number of days = Interest/Program Income
Use of an alternative calculation method based on the grantee’s accounting process may be accepted at CAL FIRE’s discretion.

2. Andronaco - Application and Nomination

3. Proposed Resolution
Summary: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution reappointing Gregory Andronaco to the Airport Commission in the 'County Resident' position, term ending July 16, 2028.

Background: The Airport Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council on all matters pertaining to the operations of the municipal airport. The commission aids and advises the City Manager in the selection of personnel for the operation of the municipal airport in accordance with the civil service ordinance.

Pursuant to Resolution 2014-48 (Attachment 1), the Airport Commission has had a vacancy that has been noticed since May 2025, following the expiration of Gregory Andronaco's term. As no applications were received for the position, Mr. Andronaco expressed interest in reapplying for the “County Resident” seat (Attachment 2 – Application and Nomination).

In accordance with Resolution 2014-48, the right to nominate a candidate rotates among the Councilmembers.

Councilmember Criss, as the next Councilmember eligible to nominate, has nominated Mr. Andronaco for reappointment to the Airport Commission (Attachment 2).

Discussion: Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 3) reappointing Gregory Andronaco to 'County Resident' position on the Airport Commission, term ending July 16, 2028.

ATTACHMENT 1

Attachment 2

Original application from 2022

1. Why are you applying to serve on the City of Ukiah’s Airport Commission? I have a business at KUKI on the flight line just north of FedEx. I would like to get more involved with the airport and help with planning.

2. What is your understanding of the purpose, role, and responsibility of the Airport Commission? I am assuming it is an advisory roll to help the BOS and City Council.

3. What do you believe are the three most important Airport related issues facing our community and why?
1) Calfire – They saved my farm during the Mendo Complex fire 2) Reach/Calstar - Moving helicopters away from other work areas 3) More hangar space

4. In your opinion, what type of Airport programs or Airport development should the City encourage? I’d like to see more involvement with younger people in high school and community college. It is sad the programs at Mendocino College have been canceled. I currently have an intern from South Valley. I guess because of the pandemic, the airport day we used to have needed to be canceled. I would like to see this happen again when feasible. More community outreach to let folks know that KUKI is not like a golf course. It is a viable city asset.

5. In your opinion, what type of Airport programs or Airport development should the City discourage? Homeless encampments.

6. What kind of ideal community do you envision for Ukiah? Ukiah is pretty ideal. This is why I moved here from the bay area. I do worry about her getting gentrified. I am glad to see more housing being built. We own three house rentals in the city. Housing prices and rent are unreal. We keep a small studio in one of the houses to have a place to stay without driving back out to RWV, after dinner out or a concert in the park.

7. Do you have any known projects or conflict of interest related to this Commission (business and/or personal)?
I do have a business at KUKI, yet I don’t see that as a conflict. Also, I have a private pilot’s license and love to fly. I don’t see this as a conflict either. I view these as enhancements to perspective. I learned about this area from hang gliding. This is how I started out flying. As I got older, and don’t heal as well, I transitioned to airplanes.

8. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be beneficial to the work of the Airport Commission?
I have lived many places and worked at many different occupations. I have a pretty broad perspective and experience with many different people and ideas. I like people and like working together to accomplish common goals and have fun at the same time. I like the whole aviation community. Below is a link to a portfolio of work and resumes of previous occupations. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hyipbd7hq74gzv4/AAAGHadqg75J 5W8B6eATu5Ia?dl=0

9. Are there any other City of Ukiah Committees/Commissions in which you are interested and on which you would be willing to serve?
Give me a chance to serve on this one first...
