Summary: Council will consider approving purchase of the five fleet replacement vehicles for Fiscal Year 2025/26 from Visalia Ford in the amount of $266,413.86 and Blackstone Chevrolet in the amount of $72,515.11, in accordance with the City’s Fleet Replacement Plan and department vehicle justifications, and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: The City maintains a diverse fleet that supports core municipal operations, including Public Safety, Public Works, Water Resources, Wastewater, Electric Utility, Finance/Purchasing, and others. To ensure reliability, safety, and cost-effective operations, the City uses a structured fleet replacement process that evaluates age, mileage/hours of use, maintenance history, operational role, and compliance with applicable standards such as California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements.
As part of the FY 2025/26 budget development process, departments submitted Vehicle & Heavy Equipment Request & Justification forms (Attachment 1) documenting the need to replace specific units or add new vehicles where operational demands have increased. These requests were reviewed by the Fleet Manager and department heads to confirm that replacements are necessary, alternatives have been considered, and the proposed vehicles are appropriately sized and specified for their intended functions.
The City has a long history of evaluating and integrating alternative fuel, hybrid, and electric vehicle technologies into its fleet operations. As early as 2000, the City participated as a test location in Nissan’s initial deployment of electric vehicles and operated a small demonstration fleet until the program was discontinued by Nissan in 2006. The City has also piloted other alternative technologies, including a compressed natural gas (CNG) street sweeper, which ultimately proved unsuccessful due to limitations in vehicle performance and fueling infrastructure. During winter operations, the unit was only able to complete approximately half of its daily route due to reduced fueling capacity, and the auxiliary motor experienced a failure that resulted in a fire and required extended out-of-service repair time. Additionally, fueling station equipment experienced repeated failures requiring overseas repair, leaving the City without a reliable local fueling option and resulting in multiple periods of downtime.
In the early 2000s, the City was also an early adopter of hybrid vehicle technology, incorporating models such
as the Toyota Prius, Camry, Highlander, and Ford Fusion and Explorer into the fleet, many of which continue to operate successfully today. More recently, the City has deployed newer electric vehicle technologies, including Ford F-150 Lightnings, Tesla Model 3 vehicles, and various electric equipment such as forklifts, lifts, and e-bikes. While some of these deployments have been successful, others have presented challenges related to parts availability, lifecycle cost, and overall reliability, particularly for early-generation or limitedproduction models. This experience has informed the City’s approach to fleet electrification, emphasizing careful evaluation of emerging technologies to ensure they meet operational requirements and provide longterm value, while continuing to diligently advance the City Council’s priority to transition the fleet to clean energy technologies.
Following direction from the City Council at its previous meeting on April 15, 2026, Staff conducted additional outreach to Voltu Motor Inc. to better understand their vehicle offerings and their relationship with other public agencies, including the City of Riverside. Voltu was responsive to Staff inquiries (Attachment 6) and participated in the City’s solicitation process, submitting a bid for the Utility Billing/Meter Reader vehicle. Based on information provided, Voltu is currently in a pre-production phase, with full-scale manufacturing of its initial vehicle line anticipated to begin in May 2026 and limited delivery availability projected for later in the year. At this time, the company does not have a fleet of vehicles in active municipal service, and its service model is primarily supported through mobile technicians with limited fixed service infrastructure. While Voltu’s technology and vehicle platform may present a viable option for consideration in future fleet replacement cycles, the lack of production history, lack of operational track record, and evolving support framework limits Staff’s ability to recommend procurement at this time.
Discussion: The proposed FY 2025/26 fleet actions include a combination of replacement and new-request vehicles across several departments, summarized as follows:
• Wastewater Treatment Plant
o Replacement of aging Ford F-250 and similar trucks used daily for operation and maintenance of the Water & Sewer System, Booster Pump Stations, lift stations, the Wastewater Treatment Plant, wells, reservoirs, and the Recycled Water System. These vehicles are in fair condition with high mileage, limited remaining useful life (typically 10–15 years total), and growing maintenance needs; replacements will provide reliable, properly sized equipment for daily operations and on-call response.
• Water & Sewer
o Replacement of a Ford F-350 service-body truck used daily for Water & Sewer operations, including Booster Pump Stations, lift stations, and recycled water maintenance. The existing unit has exceeded 100,000 miles and is in only fair condition; replacement will improve reliability for on-call response and routine field work. • Electric Utility
o Purchase of a new truck (2026 Ford F-250 Super Cab or equal) for Technical Services, with the existing Ford E-150 van to be purchased and repurposed by the Information Technology division. The new truck will better support field technical work, while the transfer of the van maximizes remaining value of an existing asset and supports internal reuse of equipment. • Finance – Purchasing
o New request for a Ford F-150 to support Purchasing operations across multiple City facilities.
The requested vehicle will provide dependable daily transportation for the Buyer, whose primary responsibilities include utilities-related purchasing and who is based at the EUD Hastings Service Center. This vehicle will be used for regular travel between the Service Center, Corporation Yard, Civic Center, and other City locations, as well as for the delivery and transport of inventory and routinely purchased items, and for site visits to support procurement activities.
• Finance – Utility Billing/Meter Reader
o Replacement of a 2004 Dodge Dakota, originally handed down from another department and now experiencing reliability issues with heating, air conditioning, and parts availability. A 2026 Ford F-150 (or equivalent) will provide a dependable vehicle for Utility Billing and Customer Service field work, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and ensure parts availability.
On Mach 30, 2026, Staff issued three Request for Bids, separating the models to provide clearer bid comparison, and received multiple responses (Attachment 2). The responsive low bidder for each model was Visalia Ford (Attachment 3). We received an additional low bid for the F-350s from Peoria Ford, but the submission was missing unfit costs and the dealer agreed to withdraw their bid as non-responsive.
On April 20, 2026 per the Council's directions from the April 15th City Council meeting, Staff issued a new Request for Bid, seeking additional EV options for the Utility Billing/Meter Reader vehicle, and received four responses (Attachment 4). The apparent low bidder was Visalia GMC who submitted a bid for a 2026 GMC Sierra EV Elevation. After review, the bid from Visalia GMC was determined to be non responsive due the battery not complying with the bid specifications. As a result, the lowest responsive bid was determined to be Blackstone Chevrolet who submitted a Chevrolet Silverado EV as an alternative to the F-150 Lightning listed in the bid documents (Attachment 5).
Also following the April 15th meeting, Ford has recently announced that order banks for the 2026 F-250 models have been closed, and as a result, these vehicles are no longer available for purchase within the timeframe required for this procurement. Accordingly, Staff is no longer recommending the purchase of F-250 trucks as part of this fleet replacement cycle and will instead evaluate replacement options for these units as part of a future bid solicitation, including anticipated 2027 model year vehicles. In addition, Staff has been advised that the deadline to place orders for the remaining available F-350 trucks is Thursday, April 30, requiring timely Council action to secure these units.
Collectively, these replacements and additions will improve reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and support safe and efficient delivery of core municipal and emergency services. Several requests also note limited parts availability for older vehicles, increasing risk of extended outages if a critical component fails; replacing these units now avoids higher future maintenance costs and potential service disruptions.
Staff requests Council approve purchase of the five fleet replacement vehicles for Fiscal Year 2025/26 from Visalia Ford in the amount of $266,413.86 and Blackstone Chevrolet in the amount of $72,515.11, and a corresponding budget amendment.
Recommended Action: Approve purchase of the five fleet replacement vehicles for Fiscal Year 2025/26 from Visalia Ford in the amount of $266,413.86 and Blackstone Chevrolet in the amount of $72,515.11, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: Based on past history, use of the vehicles should extend well beyond the standard useful life of 5-10 year, to most likely 10-15 years. Based on this estimation, the cost for the vehicle alone will be approximately $4,400 per year. The benefit it will provide is the necessary equipment needed for staff to perform adequate maintenance and operation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and an easier ability to deliver samples tothe off-site lab.
JUSTIFICATION/USE/NEED: The vehicle will be used on a daily basis to operate and maintain the Wastewater Treatment Plant facility. This includes pond level inspection, transporting tools/supplies and equipment as well as samples to the off-site lab for analysis. The new vehicle will be more size appropriate than the current one

2. Proposed Resolutions - Survivor Benefits
Summary: Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions to transition the City’s health insurance program to the CalPERS Health Benefits Program effective July 1, 2026.
The purpose of this item is to adopt the required resolutions electing for the City of Ukiah to be subject to the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act and to authorize the necessary actions to implement CalPERS health benefits for eligible City employees, annuitants, and qualifying dependents.
This transition is recommended in response to significant cost increases under the current REMIF program and is intended to provide a more stable and sustainable approach to health coverage for both the City and its employees.
Background: The City currently provides health insurance through REMIF. As the insurance market changes and medical costs increase, a smaller pool of municipalities is not able to survive the volatility of the market.
The REMIF medical insurance plans will be terminating as of June 30, 2026. For the 2026–2027 plan year, the City was notified of a substantial premium increase for the proposed transition program of approximately 39%.
Even after plan adjustments, this increase represents an estimated $1.8 million in additional annual cost to the City.
Given the magnitude of this increase, staff evaluated alternative health coverage options. After reviewing available alternatives, the City Council provided direction to staff on April 15, 2026 to develop and prepare the resolutions for consideration to transition to the CalPERS Health Benefits Program.
CalPERS provides health coverage to public agencies throughout California and offers access to a large, statewide risk pool. This structure helps provide more predictable rate adjustments over time and a broader range of plan options.
Discussion: Why Transition to CalPERS
This transition is being proposed to address both immediate cost pressures and long-term sustainability. While no health plan is without cost increases, CalPERS offers a more stable model due to its size and structure.
CalPERS is the largest purchaser of public employee health benefits in California and the second largest public purchaser of health benefits in the nation. CalPERS administers health benefits for more than 1.5 million members and partners with approximately 1,200 public agencies, schools, and other public employers throughout the state.
CalPERS provides employees with multiple plan choices, including HMO and PPO options, allowing individuals and families to select coverage that best meets their needs.
Understanding the Plan Options
To support a clear and transparent review, staff has provided side-by-side comparisons of:
• Current REMIF plans (as they would have appeared in 2026–2027) • CalPERS HMO plan options
• CalPERS PPO plan options
• PORAC PPO option for eligible bargaining unit members These materials highlight differences in:
• Monthly premiums
• Deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
• Copays and coinsurance
• Covered services and provider access
For example, the REMIF EPO 500 plan would have resulted in significantly higher premiums for the upcoming year, while CalPERS plans offer a range of premium levels and cost structures depending on the selected plan.
City Contribution Strategy
The City will continue to contribute toward employee health coverage using a benchmark-based approach similar to the current model.
• The Blue Shield Access+ EPO plan has been identified as the benchmark plan. • The City will contribute up to 85% of the benchmark premium and employees will cover up to 15%. • Employees selecting lower-cost plans will benefit from lower out-of-pocket premium costs while still applying the same 85%/15% split between employer/employee. • Employees selecting higher-cost plans will pay the difference above the benchmark contribution.
This approach maintains consistency with the City’s existing contribution philosophy while allowing flexibility in plan selection.
Employees who are currently under grandfathered contribution structures will continue under those existing arrangements.
Employee Communication and Support
Recognizing that changes to health coverage are significant, the City has begun communicating with employees and providing detailed information about the transition.
Employees have received a comprehensive notification letter along with plan comparison materials. Additional support will include:
• Informational meetings with CalPERS representatives
• Open enrollment guidance
• Resources to compare plans and provider networks
The goal is to ensure employees have the information needed to make informed decisions for themselves and their families. CalPERS has also committed to supporting the transition and will be providing direct assistance, including an onsite health fair for team members.
Other Benefits
All other employee benefits will remain unchanged, including:
• Dental
• Vision
• Life Insurance
• Long-Term Disability
Policy Considerations:
CalPERS health coverage is provided through the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). To implement CalPERS health benefits, the City Council must adopt the required resolutions electing to be subject to PEMHCA for the applicable employee and annuitant groups. Once implemented, CalPERS will become the City-sponsored medical insurance program for the covered groups. CalPERS coverage functions as an exclusive medical insurance plan for participating bargaining units and employee groups, meaning the City may not offer outside or alternative City-sponsored medical plans to those groups while they are enrolled in CalPERS. If the City and/or a represented bargaining unit elects in the future to offer a Non-CalPERS medical plan, all bargaining unit members (employees and annuitants) will be removed from the CalPERS medical plans and cannot re-enter the CalPERS medical plan for five years after withdrawal.
Under (PEMHCA), a contracting agency must establish its employer health contribution by resolution.
PEMHCA generally requires the employer contribution to be an equal amount for employees and annuitants and not less than the statutory minimum contribution, which CalPERS has set at $162 per month for calendar year 2026. Given the City's contribution coverage, the City exceeds this minimum statutory requirement for current team members. Furthermore, Government Code section 22892(c) allows a contracting agency to adopt the “unequal” contribution method, under which the agency may provide a lower monthly employer contribution for eligible annuitants than for active employees, subject to the required annual statutory increases until the annuitant contribution equals the minimum statutory contribution. The City will be adopting the unequal contribution provision which will limit the City’s initial obligation for qualifying retirees to the required PEMHCA annuitant contribution established under Government Code section 22892(c).
The City also will consider the adoption of legacy survivor resolutions under Government Code 22819.1 to preserve CalPERS health coverage eligibility for a very limited category of qualifying surviving family members. These provisions apply narrowly to surviving spouses, registered domestic partners, or eligible children who meet the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act eligibility rules, including certain survivors of deceased employees or annuitants who may not otherwise receive a survivor allowance. The provision is specifically limited to qualifying family members of deceased annuitants who retired before the City’s CalPERS health contract became effective, were validly enrolled in the City’s health plan immediately before that effective date, and do not receive an allowance in place of the annuitant. Adoption of these resolutions allows the City to provide continued access to CalPERS health coverage for this legacy survivor group, while accepting the very limited administrative and remittance obligations under PEMHCA. Consistent with current policy, the City will require the qualifying family member to pay all of the premium, meaning the City will not create a new City-paid retiree health subsidy for this limited class.
Budget/Fiscal Impacts:
The City's portion of cost of medical insurance for full-time employees is charged to their corresponding City Department’s budget, which is funded by the general fund, internal service, and/or enterprise funds established by the City's annual budget. Consistent with the City's current REMIF plan, eligible annuitants also will be eligible to purchase health insurance through CalPERS. Other than the statutory PEMHCA
minimum requirement that will be the responsibility of the City, retirees will be responsible for the premiums as the City does not provide a post retirement health plan contribution.
The PEMHCA minimum may create a new cost liability for the City, but limited to only qualifying retirees and survivors who select to purchase CalPERS health insurance. This liability is referred to as Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB). The City does not have such a liability presently. Out of an estimated 200 retirees/survivors, only 7 have elected to obtain health insurance through the City's REMIF plan. While the City is anticipating limited fiscal exposure annually for the PEMHCA minimum for retirees, the long-term potential cost of OPEB will need to be calculated after the plan is adopted. The resultant estimated liability will be reported in the City's annual financial statements. And the future fiscal impact, will be planned for and managed annually through the budgeting process.
Although the transition to CalPERS is estimated to save the City as much as $926,640 in the first year, compared to the successor plan available following the termination of REMIF, the City’s overall health coverage costs for active team members are still projected to increase by approximately 21%, or approximately $978,000 for the 2026-27 fiscal year. Contribution amounts for retirees will be nominal in the first year. The higher end of the cost estimate will be included in the recommended 2026-27 budget presented to Council for consideration in early June. A current budget amendment is not required.
Recommended Action:
1. The recommended action is to approve participation in the CalPERS Health Benefits Program effective July 1, 2026 and authorize the Human Resources/Risk Management Director (and City Manager) to execute all necessary documents and implement the transition.
2. Adopt all resolutions electing to be subject to the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act at an unequal amount for employees and annuitants with respect to a recognized employee organization.
3. Adopt all resolutions electing to adopt survivor benefits under section 22819.1 of the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act with respect to a recognized employee organization.
