Reduction of Securities for Tract Map No. 13816
Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council approve the full release of the Water and Sewer Labor & Materials Securities for Tract Map No. 13816.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with “Goal E Invest in Infrastructure” in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. Although this is not a Capital Improvement Project, we apply the same strategy to private development projects as they are essential in meeting the community’s needs.
Background:
Tract Map No. 13816 (Tract 13816) is a 195-lot, single family subdivision, located at the northwest corner of Mojave Drive and Cobalt Road. On April 20, 2021, the City Council approved a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) secured by improvement bonds with D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company, Inc., also known as D.R. Horton, for tract development. Since that time, D.R. Horton has been developing the tract.
Discussion:
At the June 6, 2023, regular City Council Meeting, the City Council approved an 80% release of the water and sewer Faithful Performance securities and accepted the water and sewer improvements. The City Council also approved a 60% release of the LMAD and street Faithful Performance securities as the construction of those improvements were still ongoing.

Per Victorville Municipal Code Section 17.64.070, the remaining 20-percent of the Faithful Performance security are to be held for a one-year warranty period and the Labor & Materials securities will be held for a 6-month period. Therefore, staff recommends the full release of the water and sewer Labor & Materials security due to the acceptance taking place eight months ago.
Staff remains available for any questions Council may have.

Chapter 7, Title 16 – Business License Ordinance
{Entire Article 12 is a new addition to Chapter 7 of Title 16}
Article 12: Specially Regulated Business – Sidewalk Vendors *Addition*
Sec. 16-7.12.010: - Purpose and Findings
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this Article is to establish Sidewalk Vendor business licensing and regulatory standards that comply with Senate Bill 946 (Chapter 459, Statutes 2018). The provisions of this Article allow the City to encourage small business activities by removing certain prohibitions on portable food stands and certain forms of vending while still permitting regulation and enforcement of unpermitted sidewalk vending activities to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare.
(b) Findings. The City Council finds that:
(1) Prohibiting Sidewalk Vending in streets/roadways and on medians is necessary to protect the health and safety of Sidewalk Vendors, because they are at risk of being struck by vehicles and/or causing vehicular accidents if they vend in streets/roadways or on medians.
(2) Preventing Sidewalk Vendors from vending to persons in cars and other motorized vehicles, or from vending from the street or alley facing sides of their Vending Carts is necessary to protect the health and safety of Sidewalk Vendors, because they are at ri sk of being struck by vehicles and/or causing vehicular accidents when Sidewalk Vending Activities cause vehicles to suddenly stop or park illegally on City streets and disrupt the normal flow of traffic.
(3) Preventing sidewalk vendors from using sound amplifying devices is necessary to protect the welfare of residents and visitors to the City by preventing excessive noise from disturbing the peace and quiet of residential areas or from an accumulation of excessive noise in commercial and other areas. Amplified sound devices may also cause traffic hazards by distracting drivers resulting in automobile accidents and harm to pedestrians, so prohibiting their use is necessary for the health and safety of motorists and pedestrians. (4) The regulations specified in this Article, including, but not limited to those governing sidewalk Vending Cart sizes, distance requirements, and food and merchandise storage, are intended and necessary to ensure compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) and other disability access standards. (5) To protect the safety of children traveling to and from and in and around schools from potentially adverse safety impacts of traffic and sidewalk congestion, it is necessary to restrict sidewalk vendor activities during certain hours in such areas. (6) Restricting Sidewalk Vending Activities on Sidewalks or Pedestrian Paths that are immediately adjacent to portions of streets or highways that are designated by signs or red curb markings as "no stopping" or "no parking" zones and near certain public facilities is needed to prevent interference with the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, including
ingress into, or egress from, any residence, public building, or place of business, or from the street to the sidewalk, by persons exiting or entering parked or standing vehicles. (7) Regulating Sidewalk Vending Activities is necessary to preserve reasonable access for the use and maintenance of sidewalks, pathways, poles, posts, traffic signs or signals, hydrants, restrooms, trash receptacles, firefighting apparatus, and mailboxes, as well as access to locations used for public transportation services. (8) The City further finds that the circumstances of Sidewalk Vending, where Sidewalk Vendors set up stands or move from place to place as Roaming Sidewalk Vendors, has the potential for Sidewalk Vendors to engage in illegal activities, including but not limited to the sale of illegal substances or merchandise or the sale of counterfeit products. To ensure the safety of residents and the merchantability of products sold by vendors without a fixed place of business, all Sidewalk Vendor License applicants, including all employees or Vending Cart operators, are required to undergo a fingerprinting background check to be conducted by the Police Department prior to being licensed.
Sec. 16-7.12.020 - Business License Required

Written Communications
Meeting of: March 5, 2024
Submitted By:
Fredy Bonilla, City Engineer
Subject:
Approval of Agreements with Five (5) Consultants for On-Call Geotechnical and Engineering Testing Services
Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council approve a Consultant / Professional Services Provider Agreement with five (5) consultants: 1) Merrell Johnson Geotechnical, Inc., 2) Geocon West, Inc., 3) RMA Group, 4) Ninyo & Moore Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consultants, and 5) Fenagh, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $250,000 each for on-call geotechnical and engineering testing services over the initial term of two years.
Fiscal Impact:
This action may result in a fiscal impact of $625,000 per year contingent upon the level and extent of services required for budgeted infrastructure capital improvement projects.
The compensation for services potentially to be provided by each consultant will be no more than $125,000 per year over the initial two-year term. A total aggregate contract amount of $500,000 per consultant may be expended over a four-year period if the City agrees to two (2) allowable one-year extensions.
Services will be provided on an as-needed basis, and they will be budgeted with each capital improvement project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This agreement aligns with Goal E Invest in Infrastructure in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026 by providing professional services for the development and construction of infrastructure projects.
Background:
In January of 2024, the Engineering Department requested a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for consideration from interested engineering firms to provide On-Call 3 5
3 8
Geotechnical and Engineering Testing Services to assist with a variety of potential projects. The scope of work may include preliminary investigations, evaluation of existing transportation infrastructure, and construction inspection of various capital improvement projects. The City does not maintain staff for these specialized services due to the fluctuating workload and need.
The majority of the work potentially to be assigned will be for construction support including inspection and quality assurance testing of soils, aggregates and concrete mixtures utilized in capital improvement projects managed by the Engineering Department. The agreements may additionally be utilized by other City departments requiring professional geotechnical services as an on-call alternative to the issuance of a project specific request for qualifications.
Depending upon the City’s workload, the consultants may or may not be called upon to provide services within the agreement term. Consultants who have entered into an agreement with the City will receive a request for a quote to provide an estimated cost for individual projects for budgeting purposes. The consultants may be assigned projects that are discrete, short-term jobs or may be part of a larger public works project that could span weeks to months. Construction management costs for consultant work will be estimated and included for each capital improvement project in the annual budget approved by the City Council or by a budget amendment and creation of a new capital improvement project.
Discussion:
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued using procedures in accordance with Municipal Code Section 2.28.280. On January 26, 2024, the RFQ was issued and geotechnical consulting companies were notified. On February 23, 2024, twelve (12) companies submitted their SOQ. Each proposal was reviewed by a selection committee composed of five individuals from the Engineering Department. The selection of the consultants was based on demonstrated expertise, experience, references, staffing, capability, and local presence in providing support and to best meet the needs of the City.
Staff determined that Merrell Johnson Geotechnical, Inc., Geocon West, Inc., RMA Group, Ninyo & Moore Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consultants and Fenagh, Inc., best meets those needs.
From the top five consultants selected, the water division of the Engineering Department currently holds an agreement with Fenagh, Inc., for on-call material testing services for water related capital improvement projects. Additionally, Ninyo & Moore holds an agreement with the City for a groundwater remediation project on 8 th Street in Old Town Victorville. These agreements are limited in scope of work and to specific departments or divisions wherewith they cannot be utilized by other City departments for other work than their intended purpose.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Consultant / Professional Services Provider Agreements with: 1) Merrell Johnson Geotechnical, Inc.; 2) Geocon West, Inc.; 3) RMA Group; 4) Ninyo & Moore Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consultants; 3 5
3 8
and 5) Fenagh, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $250,000 each for on-call geotechnical and engineering testing services over the initial term of two years.
Staff remains available for any questions Council may have.
