Internal Service Funds

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS

Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments in the City on a cost reimbursement basis.

The concept of major funds introduced by GASB Statement No. 34 does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with outside parties. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that for the Statement of Activities, the net revenue or expenses of each internal service fund be eliminated by netting them against the operations of the other City departments which generated them. The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position.

However, internal service funds are still presented in total in the Fund financial statements, which includes the funds listed below.

FLEET SERVICES
Established to account for the maintenance and fueling of vehicles and related equipment in use by the City.

VEHICLE REPLACEMENT
Established to account for the acquisition of City vehicles. Replacement vehicles are purchased through this fund.

New vehicles added to this fleet (not replacing an existing one) are considered Contributed Capital to the Vehicle Replacement fund.

INFORMATION SERVICES
Established to account for the acquisition, maintenance and upgrade of the City’s computer operations.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Established to account for the self -insured and purchased insurance for the City’s various types of insurance including liability, workers’ compensation, unemployment, property, and employee bonds.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Established to account for the self-insured and purchased insurance for the City’s various types of employee health insurance.

COMPENSATED ABSENCES
Established to account for the long-term portion of the compensated absences liability in the governmental funds.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Established to account for the repairs and maintenance for the City’s owned/occupied buildings.

NOTE:

In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an “inflation factor” (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law was encated in 1955. The law authorizes cities and counties to impose a sales and use tax. Effective January 1, 1962, all cities and counties have adopted ordinances for the State Board of Equalization to collect the local tax.

Sales Tax only. The use tax was enacted effective July 1, 1935.

In March 2004, a State ballot measure was passed issuing deficit reduction bonds for State purposes. Funding was provided effective July 1, 2004, by repealing 25% of the local 1% sales tax and then adopting a new 1/4 cent sales tax dedicated to the repayment of the deficit reduction bonds. Cities and counties would then be "made whole" by the State from increased property tax allocations via reduced contributions to ERAF. This "triple flip" is theoretically revenue-neutral, and as such, the effective rate for revenue purposes remains at 1%.

In March 2004, the voters of the City of Visalia passed a sales tax override (Measure T) to increase public saftey in the community increasing the City rate by 1/4% ,effectiveJuly 1, 2004. The measure requires the City Manager to annually recertify the Measure T plan to the City Council. Additionally,the plan must be reafirrmed every 8 years by a 4 out of 5 City Council approval.

In November 2006, voters in the County of Tulare approved a countywide sales tax measure (Measure R) giving the County a 1/2% rate increase which became effective April 1, 2007. The sales tax measure has a sunset period of 30 years. The revenue is earmarked for transportation projects with allocations as follows: 50% for regional projects, 35% goes to cities for their street programs, 14% for transportationenhancement programs, and 1% for administration.

In November 2016, voters of the City of Visalia passed a 1/2 (half-cent) sales tax override (Measure N), effective April 1, 2017.

The proceeds of this tax will provide the City with a reliable, ongoing, local source of funding for public safety, repairs and maintenance for streets, and maintenance of parks and trails. 280

LEGAL DEBT MARGIN INFORMATION

LAST TEN FISCAL YEARS
(In Thousands)

NOTE:

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation.

However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.

CITY OF VISALIA

BOND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

The City of Visalia (the City) periodically issues tax-exempt debt. Frequently the bond covenants require that the City of Visalia disclose additional information about its operations for the benefit of the bond holder. This disclosure statement provides for those disclosure requirements.

This disclosure statement addresses required disclosures for the following debt issues:

Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bonds
On June 18, 2003, the Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency issued $5,185,000 of 2003 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (2003 Bonds) to retire outstanding variable rate 1990 Tax Allocation Bonds and to pay for issuance costs. Due to the variable nature of the refunded debt, the City could not determine the economic gain on the transaction.

Tax increment revenue is pledged for the repayment of the 2003 Bonds. Interest ranges from 2.0% to 4.1% and is due semiannually each July 1 and January 1. Commencing in 2004, principal is payable each July 1 through 2026.

This debt was transferred to the Successor Agency of The City of Visalia on February 1, 2012, as a result of the dissolution of the Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency.

Certificates of Participation
On July 2, 2014, the City issued $7,380,000 of 2014 Refunding Certificates of Participation (the Certificates) to (a) refund all of the City’s outstanding 2005 Refunding Certificates of Participation (the Prior Certificates), (b) to purchase a municipal bond debt service reserve insurance policy for deposit into a debt reserve service reserve fund established for the Certificates, and (c) to pay the costs related to the execution and delivery of the Certificates. Of this issue, 84% is allocable to the Convention Center and 16% is considered general long -term debt. Interest represented by the Certificates is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2014, with the final payment due in the year 2025. The 2014 Certificates advance refunded the outstanding 2005 Refunding Certificates of Participation. The 2005 Certificates were fully called on July 11, 2014.

Certificates of Participation
On September 10, 2015, the City issued $17,910,000 of 2015 Certificates of Participation to (a) construct and equip the Visalia Emergency Communications Center (the VECC), (b) to replace the City’s Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System (the CAD/RMS), (c) to make certain improvements to the Visalia Convention Center, (d) to purchase a municipal bond debt service reserve insurance policy for deposit into a debt service reserve fund established for the Certificates, and (e) to pay the costs related to the execution and delivery of the Certificates. Of this issue, 27% is allocable to the Convention Center and 73% is considered general long -term debt. Interest represented by the Certificates is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2015, with the final payment due in the year 2029.

DISCLOSURES

Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation Bonds

Successor Agency of The City of Visalia (former Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency of The City of Visalia) On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill IX 26 (Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California.

The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 17, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency (RDA) with the Bill as part of City resolution number 12-01.

After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations, or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established 308

230

oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).

In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as legal entities as of February 1, 2012. The Successor Agency of The City of Visalia took over the affairs of the former RDA of the City of Visalia at that time and is responsible for the wind down of the affairs of the dissolved RDA. It is responsible for fulfilling the obligations of the former RDA and is also responsible for revenue collection, maintaining bond reserves, and disposing of excess property. When the RDA was dissolved, the four project areas of the RDA were combined into one entity. Therefore, some historical information as required by the continuing disclosure is no longer available or applicable.

For FY 202 2-23 and future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.

The only outstanding bonded debt of the former Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency is the 2003 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (2003 Bonds). The 2003 Bonds have been accepted by the California Department of Finance as enforceable obligations. As a result, the County of Tulare will provide former tax increment revenues to the Successor Agency of the City of Visalia for payment of the 2003 Bonds.

The 2003 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (East Visalia Redevelopment Project) required continuing disclosures which are now meaningless due to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Continuing disclosure covenants ask for the following five tables:

With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, successor agencies will only receive property tax revenues sufficient to pay debt service. As a result, the County of Tulare will provide the City’s successor agency tax increment equal to the debt service for that year. In other words, debt service coverage will be 1.0 and projected receipts will be equal to debt service.

Summary:

On December 19, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract to Emmett’sExcavation, Inc. for the construction of Groundwater Recharge Basin G at the East Side Regional Park (ESRP), consisting of the Base Bid + Alternate Bid 2 + Alternate Bid 3 + Alternate Bid 4 in the amount of $5,150,913.50 and approved Change Order No. 1, a reduction amount of $582,069.00. However, due to unforeseen, historic storms during the winter of 2022/2023, the site became extremely saturated, leading to a delayed construction start at the end of March 2023. Since then, construction has progressed and is nearing completion. Alternate Bid 3 (Well 1) and Alternate Bid 4 (Well 2) were awarded for the outfitting of existing agricultural wells with new irrigation pump stations. The well subcontractor conducted recent well surveys that indicate the groundwater has significantly dropped since the levels observed during the design phase. Based on the recent well data, review of historic snowmelt levels, and coordination with the well contractor, staff recommends the following:
· Well Site No. 1: Drill a new, non-potable, 12” casing irrigation well to 400-feet below ground level and abandon the existing 12” casing well.
· Well Site No. 2: Deepen the existing 13-1/2” casing irrigation well to 400-feet below ground level by inserting a new 10” steel casing in the existing and drilling the extra depth.

Background Discussion:

Several years ago, City leaders began proactively planning a project to develop solutions to the Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 1 of 8

File #: 23-0403 Agenda Date: 2/5/2024 Agenda #: 2.

Several years ago, City leaders began proactively planning a project to develop solutions to the area’s receding groundwater table. One of those projects includes the Eastside Regional Park (ESRP) & Groundwater Recharge Project. The master planned Eastside Regional Park & Groundwater Recharge Project consists of approximately 286 acres, including 40 acres of planned street & infrastructure improvements. The project will include Road 148 as a new north/south arterial roadway; and improvements to Houston Avenue, Road 152, and E. Mineral King Avenue. The project will also allocate approximately 148 acres for park use, while the dedicated groundwater recharge elements will encompass approximately 100 acres. The basins are planned to receive allotted water deliveries to help replenish the area’sgroundwater. Construction of Basin G is the first step to help manage the area’s local groundwater resource.

The City was awarded a Proposition 1, Urban Rivers Grant (URG) from the State for this project in the amount of $1,568,708, to construct a groundwater recharge basin with habitat improvements.

The scope of work for the URG grant includes a contoured 20-acre recharge basin, swales along Mineral King Avenue and Road 152, approximately 50,732 square feet of granite trail, native, low water use trees and shrubs, a point source irrigation system, a thick layer of landscape mulch, and two funding acknowledgement signs. The existing contract is for construction of the civil portion of the project and includes the work of outfitting the two existing agricultural wells with new pumps and pump stations. The contract does not include any modifications to the existing well hole or casings, and it does not include the landscape & irrigation construction. Approval of this change order will allow the wells to be drilled & modified, in preparation for the upcoming landscape & irrigation construction (as a separate contract), which the City’sPurchasing Division will be issuing for Bids soon.

As previously noted, the current construction contract includes installation of the new pump equipment for Wells 1 & 2, and since the award of the contract, it is now recommended to drill a new Well at No. 1 and to deepen Well No. 2. At this time, there has been additional design work related to the Well No.1 site modifications, however the well drilling will be done using the parameters in this report, in accordance with the contractor’s recommendations & experience. There will not be an additional design (plans & specs) for the drilling & deepening as recommended in this report.

Change Order No. 6 {Owner Requested Change In Scope}:

The City of Visalia Change Order Committee reviewed and approved change order No. 6 on January 11, 2024. The following is the description of the proposed work related to Change Order No. 6.

Item 1. Well No. 1:

This item will construct a new 12-inch diameter steel casing, irrigation well and abandon the existing Well No. 1. In May 2020, Kaweah Pump performed a pump test on the wells. The test showed that the static groundwater level at Well 1 was 74-feet below the surface. As approved by the City Council at award of construction, the well was surveyed again in March 2023, prior to outfitting it with the new pump equipment. At that time, the static groundwater surface was recorded at 92-feet below the surface. This drop of 18-feet in three years raised concerns that the decreasing groundwater levels will impact the capabilities of the pump design to provide irrigation water into the future. In November 2023, a third well survey indicated that the groundwater elevation had increased to 66-feet below the surface. This can probably be attributed to the historic snow melt resulting from the winter 22/23 storms.

The design consultant, CWE, has completed a general review of the area groundwater levels and Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 2 of 8

File #: 23-0403 Agenda Date: 2/5/2024 Agenda #: 2.

The design consultant, CWE, has completed a general review of the area groundwater levels and found that in the years from 2001 to 2020, the groundwater level fluctuated with some peaks and valleys along the way, but overall trending downward. There are two factors in the fluctuation of groundwater level, rate of extraction and rate of infiltration. Ongoing demands for groundwater by development and agriculture depletes the underground groundwater basin and development may increase the rate of rainfall runoff, resulting in less infiltration to the water table. Nevertheless, the primary reason for the decrease is most likely minimal rainfall years that contribute to less water infiltration. Determining the cause of the groundwater decrease is beyond the focus of the consultant’s review. However, based on the available information, over the next 50 years, it is estimated that existing Well No. 1 will drop approximately 25-feet, with average rainfall; with the possibility of dropping an additional 75-80 feet due to minimal rainfall years. This will result in a possible total drop of 100-feet below ground surface.

Recommendation of Consultant CWE: Deepen the well a minimum of 150 feet to provide a service life of 50 years (groundwater level). See Attachment No. 2, CWE Technical Memorandum.

Well No. 1 is an open bottom well that is 143-feet deep, with a 12" steel casing that ends at 142-feet below ground surface. Staff worked with the contractor & subcontractor on the possibility of deepening the existing well to 400-feet below ground. The well driller (subcontractor) recommends a depth of 400-feet based on their experience around this area. Most of the wells they have recently drilled in northeast Visalia have been at least 400-feet below ground surface. Deepening Well No. 1 is not recommended because the well deepening would require that an 8" casing be inserted through the existing 12" casing, to the new depth. The smaller diameter casing would be too small to accommodate the new submersible pump, column pipe, and sounding tube; and a 10" casing will not fit inside the existing 12" casing due to the drive shoe. The estimated cost for deepening the well with an 8" casing is $91,629. The estimated cost to drill a new well with 12" steel casing and abandon the existing one is $139,997.00. Staff also investigated using PVC pipe for the well deepening, but that would not make a difference; using PVC pipe for the new well is estimated at $112,547.00, saving approximately $27,450 over the steel casing, however it is not as strong as steel and is more likely to collapse due to hydraulic pressure.

Staff Recommendation: Abandon the existing well and drill a new 12" diameter steel casing well, 400 -feet deep, at a location approximately 40-feet south of the existing.

Item 2. Site Improvements to Well No. 1:

This item will increase site improvement quantities. The original design includes retrofitting the existing well with a new submersible pump, pipe, tubing, variable frequency drive (VFD), and related appurtenances. It also includes fencing of the new well site, grading and placement of a decomposed granite (DG) surface, and access via a new Class 2 AB maintenance road. Drilling a new well south of the existing will require that the well site be reconfigured and will result in a larger well site. This item is recommended to provide site security via the fencing, and to provide surface site treatments for the larger well site.

Item 3. Well No. 2:

This item will deepen an existing agricultural well to 400-feet below ground surface with a new 12- inch diameter steel casing. In May 2020, Kaweah Pump performed a pump test on the wells. The test showed that the static groundwater level at Well 2 was 79-feet below the ground surface. The current project design includes retrofitting the existing non-potable agriculture well with a new pump and Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 3 of 8

At that time, the static groundwater surface was recorded at 103-feet below the surface. This drop of 24-feet in three years raised concerns that the decreasing groundwater levels will impact the capabilities of the pump design to provide irrigation water. In November 2023, a third well survey indicated that the groundwater elevation had increased to 76-feet below the surface. This can probably be attributed to the historic snow melt resulting from the winter 22/23 storms.

The design consultant, CWE, has completed a general review of the area groundwater levels and found that in the years from 2001 to 2020, the groundwater level fluctuated with some peaks and valleys along the way, but overall trending downward. There are two factors in the fluctuation of groundwater level, rate of extraction and rate of infiltration. Ongoing demands for groundwater by development and agriculture depletes the underground groundwater basin and development may increase the rate of runoff, resulting in less infiltration to the water table. Nevertheless, the primary reason for the decrease is most likely minimal rainfall years that contribute to less water infiltration.

Determining the cause of the groundwater decrease is beyond the focus of the consultant’sreview.

However, based on the available information , over the next 50 years, the existing static water level in Well No. 2 will drop approximately 25-feet with average rainfall; with the possibility of dropping an additional 75-80 feet due to minimal rainfall years. This will result in a possible total drop of 100-feet below ground surface.

Recommendation of consultant CWE: Deepen the well a minimum of 150 feet to provide a service life of 50 years (groundwater level). See Attachment No. 2, CWE Technical Memorandum.

Well No. 2 is an open bottom well that is 185-feet deep, with a 13.5" steel casing that ends at 165- feet below ground surface. Staff worked with the contractor on the possibility of deepening the existing well to 400-feet below ground. The well driller (subcontractor) recommends a depth of 400- feet based on their experience around this area. Most of the wells they have recently drilled in northeast Visalia have been at least 400-feet below ground surface. Since this well has a larger existing casing, they could fit a 10" steel casing inside the existing and bore down to the new depth.

The 10" diameter casing should be able to accommodate the new submersible pump, column pipe, and sounding tube, and the drive shoe. The estimated cost for deepening the well with a 10" steel casing is $117,805. The estimated cost to drill a new well with 12" steel casing and abandon the existing one is $139,997. Deepening the well will save approximately $22,192 over drilling a new well. Staff also investigated using PVC pipe for the well deepening, but that would not make a significant difference and since it is not as strong as steel, it is more likely to collapse due to hydraulic pressure. It should be noted that the well will be deepened and left as an open bottom well, meaning there is some risk because there will not be a gravel pack protecting the hole from sand infiltration.

Staff Recommendation: Deepen the existing 13.5" diameter well with a new 10" diameter steel casing to a depth of 400-feet.

Additional Well Information:

The City of Visalia owns three wells in this area that were previously utilized for orchard irrigation.

The wells were inspected in 2020 by use of a down-hole video camera and flow tested. The three wells are shallow when compared to modern wells and have a bottom fill of 150-feet to 190-feet below surface elevation, with the static water level around 80-feet below the ground surface elevation and has been dropping due to increased groundwater demand and reduced rainfall. When the pump Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 4 of 8

and has been dropping due to increased groundwater demand and reduced rainfall. When the pump starts pumping, the water level will drop conically in accordance with the pump demand, to a lower water level. This is called drawdown. Previous pump tests conducted in 2020 indicated that Well 1 had a 15-foot drawdown to around 90-feet below the ground surface elevation; while Well 2 had a 17- foot drawdown to around 92-feet below ground surface elevation. Since the new pumps are smaller than the old pumps, they are expected to produce less drawdown. However, since the casing for Well 2 will be reduced to a 10-inch diameter, that will increase the drawdown, negating any gains from the smaller pumps. After the pump goes off, the level typically returns to the static elevation after a period. Of the three wells, Well No. 1 is the shallowest, and has around 25-feet of pumping water level remaining, in its current configuration. Wells 2 and 3 have around 60-feet of pumping water level remaining, in their current configuration. With the proposed Change Order, Well 1 may have around 35-feet of pumping water level remaining, while Well 2 would remain at around 60-feet of pumping water level remaining.

For cost comparison purposes, the City of Visalia drilled a new 430’ deep, 16-inch well at the Riverway Sports Park in 2018. Including change orders, that well cost $324,714 to drill and develop.

That well was then outfitted with a new irrigation pumping station in 2019, at an estimated cost of $565,000. That well pump station included the concrete footing, discharge equipment, motor control center with switchboards, two 11,000 gallon above ground water storage tanks, two irrigation booster pumps, and one jockey pump for low flow pressure.

Per California Water Service (Cal Water), they typically drill new wells in Visalia to 450 - 900 feet below the surface elevation. Other surrounding valley cities, such as Hanford, drill new wells even deeper than that, up to 1,400-feet deep. This type of deep drilling for new potable water wells includes seals around the casing and ensures that they only pull from the lower strata of groundwater. Potable water wells are subject to stringent state requirements, including sealing, disinfection, sampling, and reporting to the state to ensure the water is suitable for drinking water.

And, once the potable water well is on-line, it must be tested regularly by someone certified in water distribution quality and treatment. The existing ESRP agricultural wells do not meet the requirements for a potable water source, however, they were found to be viable sources of non-potable water for the landscape and irrigation of the groundwater basin projects.

This project intends to retrofit two of the existing wells with new submersible pump stations that will provide the non-potable water for the landscape irrigation around Basins G & F; and will also be available for the recently completed Bicycle Trail adjacent to the SCE overhead transmission wires that extends north from Mineral King Avenue to Mill Creek.

The three existing agricultural wells are intended to serve as a non-potable water source for landscape irrigation in the area. In the future, well No. 1, 2 and 3 can be interconnected with irrigation main to form pressurized loops around the area. This will help to provide more consistent water that may help irrigate the landscaping around Basin G; the Greenway Trail; the future Basins F, D, and E; and the future adjacent frontages for Road 148, East Mineral King, and Road 152, south of Mill Creek. This would not include areas north of Mill Creek, nor the future interchange at State Route 198, as that will be landscaped and irrigated by Caltrans. In addition, the three wells are not intended to serve as a water source for the future park amenities, such as the sports play fields and buildings.

Those types of amenities typically require significant amounts of potable and non-potable water, so staff will return to Council in the future to consider additional groundwater wells, similar to the process Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 5 of 8

Budget Summary:

This project is multi-funded, with various funds contributing to their proportionate share of project items. The well site improvements will benefit the landscape & irrigation of the site and are therefore entirely funded with Park Impact Funds. Following is the funding source summary for the Basin G project. Staff will provide an overall budget update in the future when the project is closed out.

Change Orders 2 - 5 have added and subtracted various items which have adjusted the contingency amounts shown above. The previous change orders were reviewed and approved through the Change Order Committee; however, they did not warrant City Council action due to their lower costs.

Most of those change orders are being applied to the grant funding contingency before the City Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 6 of 8

funds, as allowed by the grant terms.

The contingency contribution from the Park Impact Fee Fund 211 has benefitted from these change orders, and the current balance is $89,358. These funds are insufficient to cover the Change Order No. 6 cost of $265,065. Therefore, staff requests an appropriation of $175,707 to cover the difference. After the appropriation, the total contingency contribution from the Park Impact Fee Fund will be $265,065, with a zero balance.

Staff is currently working with the contractor on a second owner requested change order to add in a directional drill for the landscape irrigation under Packwood Creek. That work is also directly required for the Landscape & Irrigation of the site, however a line item for the directional drilling was included in the previous budget estimates (under landscape & irrigation), meaning there are some funds included for that work in the overall budget, outside the contingencies shown here. Since staff is still negotiating with the contractor over this item, staff will return in the future to request authorization of this change order and to request any additional appropriations that are outside the budgeted amount.

In addition, staff will also return to City Council to request additional allocations for other significant future change orders impacting the Park Impact Fee Fund.

MEMORANDUM

To: Rebecca Keenan, PE
City of Visalia

From: William F. Young, PE

Date: December 27, 2023

Subject: East Side Regional Park Irrigation Wells
Ground Water Levels

The City of Visalia (City) is proposing to construct the East Site Regional Park (ESRP) on a 270-acre parcel of agricultural land within the City limits. The ESRP is a master planned park designed as a multi- purpose facility that will increase the City’s groundwater recharge capabilities, promote habitat restoration, and provide outdoor recreational activities. The ESRP will have athletic/recreational fields constructed as depressed areas (basins) that will provide groundwater recharge opportunities. The complete ESRP is bounded by County Road 152 on the east, East Houston Ave/SR 216 on the north, the Big Creek Transmission Lines on the west, and East Mineral King Avenue (northerly frontage road to SR 198) on the south.

The ESRP parcel has three City owned wells that were previously used for orchard irrigation. The City is refurbishing two of these wells for park irrigation purposes. The wells are located close to Oakes Ditch as it runs centrally through the park. The wells are designated as Well #1, south of Oakes Ditch and west of County Road 152, Well #2, north of Oakes Ditch and 1,000 ft west of County Road 152, and Well #3, located south of Oakes Ditch and 1,200 feet west of County Road 152.

In May 2020 the City has Kaweah Pump perform pump tests on these wells. These pump tests showed that Well #1 was capable of pumping 585 gallons per minute (gpm) and the water level was 74 feet below the surface. Well #2 was capable of pumping 742 gpm and the water level was 79 feet below the surface. The depths were checked again in March 2023, Well #1 was recorded at 92 feet below the surface and Well #2 was recorded at 103 feet below the surface. There are some concerns over the decreasing groundwater levels and the capabilities of the pumps design to provide ESRP irrigation water.

The pumps were checked and determined to be adequate at the lower groundwater level.

The City has requested additional review of the groundwater levels and trends. Records show that the groundwater levels in the Visalia area have been decreasing. The figure below shows the trend of the groundwater level at a nearby well. Minimal rainfall years of 2014-2015 and 2020-2021 show a lower groundwater level due to the lower rainfall/recharge of the groundwater basin. The graph also shows a lowering trend of the groundwater level from 1989 to 2020. 327
Memorandum
City of Visalia Groundwater Trends

December 27, 2023

From 2001 to 2020 the groundwater lowering trend appears to have slowed, although still lowering. This period shows a lowering of approximately 10 feet over 19 years verses 65 feet over 12 years for the 1989-2001 period. There are two factors in the fluctuation of the groundwater level, rate of extraction and rate of infiltration. Development of the area with residential and commercial/industrial properties may increase the need for water. This water is supplied by the groundwater basin. Development usually also increases the rate of rainfall runoff resulting in less water infiltrating into the groundwater table. The primary reason for the decrease is minimal rainfall years that contribute to less water infiltration.

Determining the causes of the decrease in groundwater levels would require a much broader study and is not the focus of this technical memorandum.

Wells #1 and #2 are being refurbished for irrigation water to ESRP. These wells are approximately 150 feet deep. The information presented shows that these wells are approaching the limits of their uses without be drilled to a deeper depth. Based upon the information presented in this Technical Memorandum the average groundwater level will drop approximately 25 feet over the next 50 years.

When considering minimal rainfall years, the groundwater level could be 75-80 feet deeper than that or a total of 100 feet deeper than current elevations. It is our recommendation that these well be deepened a minimum of 150 feet to provide a service life of 50 years. 328

Dolores Verduzco, Financial Analyst, [email protected], (559) 713-4540 Eric Bons, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4350 Frank Senteno, City Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4331 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495 Angelina DeRossett, Transit Manager, [email protected], (559) 713-4591 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the submission of Congestion and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program and Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funding applications to the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG). This current call for projects is combining the CMAQ and the CRP Programs into one call for projects with approximately $8.3 million available in CMAQ funds and $4.2 million available in CRP funds for award within Tulare County. City staff is recommending submittal of multiple projects as outlined in this report for consideration for funding in these competitive programs.

Background Discussion:

The City’s Engineering and Transit Divisions are proposing funding applications for capital improvement projects based on current City needs that will promote reducing air emissions within the City in accordance with the criteria identified in the CMAQ and CRP guidelines. The timeframe for project implementation is from Fall 2024 to April 1, 2028. The projects will require local matching funds from various non-General Fund sources (based on the projects awarded) as outlined in the agenda (amounts will vary based on final award).
· Application due date: February 6, 2024
· Scoring announcement: March 29, 2024
· Project Implementation Timeframe: Fall 2024 to April 2028.

For this current call for projects, TCAG has combined the CMAQ and CRP into one call for projects as both programs are similar in nature. These programs focus on the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and project types eligible under the CMAQ program are similar to projects eligible under CRP. Both programs are funded through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Projects Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 1 of 6

CRP. Both programs are funded through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Projects selected for award will be required to follow the federal authorization process and must comply with federal rules throughout implementation of the projects.

Projects selected for award will be based upon an evaluation of the project’s cost effectiveness (benefit/cost ratio), emissions reductions, transportation equity, public involvement in the project selection process (inclusion in the agency’scapital improvement program, adopted plan, etc.), project readiness and delivery dates, and leveraging. The projects listed herein are still tentative since they are still being evaluated and final calculations for cost effectiveness are not yet final. Staff will continue to develop the applications to make them as competitive as possible and within the available funding limitations. Due to the grant application deadline and limited available Council meeting dates, staff is requesting Council’sapproval of the considered projects in this report and authorization to proceed with the applications to include the project(s) deemed most competitive.

Applications are due to TCAG February 6, 2024. Applications will be evaluated by TCAG staff and scores will be announced on March 29, 2024. For projects successfully awarded for funding, staff will return to Council to request authorization to appropriate awarded CMAQ and/or CRP funds and appropriate the local matching funds necessary to complete the project(s).

The following is a summary of the projects recommended by staff for submittal for CMAQ/CRP funds:

1. Caldwell Avenue Signal Interconnect between Akers Street and County Center Drive, Estimated Project Cost: $450,000

2. Caldwell Avenue Signal Interconnect between Santa Fe Street and Lovers Lane, Estimated Project Cost: $975,000

3. Demaree Street Signal Interconnect between Mill Creek Drive and Ferguson Avenue, Estimated Project Cost: $980,000

4. Riggin Avenue Signal Interconnect between Akers Street and Giddings Street, Estimated Project Cost: $1,300,000

5. Akers Street Signal Interconnect between Walnut Avenue and Goshen Avenue, Estimated Project Cost: $2,300,000

6. Walnut Avenue Signal Interconnect between Akers Street and Plaza Drive, Estimated Project Cost: $1,480,000

7. Plaza Drive Signal Interconnect between Crowley Avenue and Riggin Avenue, Estimated Project Cost: $1,800,000

cell bus, Estimated Project Cost: $2,600,000
TCAG would like to partner with the City in the development of a hydrogen fuel cell pilot project for heavy-duty vehicles, which the procurement of a hydrogen fuel cell bus would assist in this endeavor.

TCAG would provide an estimated $500,000 in funding for the development of a City hydrogen fuel operation. The CMAQ program requires a minimum 11.47% local match contribution, and the CRP requires a minimum twenty percent (20%) local match contribution, for each phase (ie. design, right- of-way acquisition, construction) of a project requesting funds. Staff recommends the cost of design for each Traffic Signal and Synchronization project be funded utilizing City local funds to increase the local funds being leveraged, resulting in a greater cost effectiveness ratio. CMAQ/CRP funds will be requested to fund the cost of construction, requiring a minimum local match contribution of 11.47% and twenty percent (20%) respectively. The potential match identified below meets the minimum program requirements or greater to increase project competitiveness. As staff continues to develop the applications the local match amount may be increased beyond the required minimum local match percentages in order to maximize the air quality cost effectiveness ratio to make each application as competitive as possible. The following provides more detail on the proposed projects for the Council to consider and authorize submission of funding applications. The project list is categorized by the type of improvements each project will implement.

It is important to note that the traffic signal and synchronization type projects listed are projects identified in the City’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Strategic Plan adopted in 2016.

Tulare County Association of Governments
2023 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and
Carbon Reduction Program (CRP)
Call for Projects
November 2, 2023

Introduction
The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG), the metropolitan planning organization for the Tulare County region, announces the availability of funding for transportation projects through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program and Carbon Reduction Program (CRP). All programs are funded through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The CMAQ program is designed to fund several types of surface transportation projects which improve air quality and mitigate congestion. The Tulare County region receives CMAQ funding because the region does not meet federal air quality standards for PM2.5 and ozone precursor emissions (NOx and ROG).

New for this application cycle, is the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP). Similar in nature to the CMAQ program, CRP is focused on the reduction of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Project types eligible under the CRP program are similar to projects eligible under CMAQ.

Eligible Recipients
Public agencies, such as cities, the county, and school districts are eligible for these funds.

Non-profits are also eligible to apply for funds. An important note for non-profit and other public agencies: Tulare County and the incorporated cities in Tulare County already have agreements in place with Caltrans, are familiar with the federal funding obligation process, meet auditing requirements, and comply with other items that are required for CMAQ project implementation. It is highly recommended for an awardee that is not a local government agency to partner with their local municipality to administer the project.

Program Funding Availability
Currently, TCAG has approximately $8.3 million of CMAQ and $4.2 million of CRP funds available for this call for projects. The time period for implementation is from Fall 2024 to April 1, 2028.

TCAG Adopted Program Policy
As approved by the TCAG Board in October 2023, the funding category targets are as follows:

Regional Traffic Flow Projects
Sixty percent (60%) of TCAG’s allocation is for regional traffic flow projects that qualify for CMAQ. These types of projects include: roundabouts on state highways and/or major roadways and traffic signalization and synchronization projects.

Highly Cost-effective Projects
Twenty percent (20%) is for projects that reduce emissions at a rate of $63/lb or less. This is a San Joaquin Valley requirement. Failure to meet this requirement means surrender of the difference to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The types of projects included in this category include: zero-emission projects, or projects with high local match requesting minimal CMAQ funds.

Other Projects
The remaining twenty percent (20%) is available for other air quality beneficial projects such as bicycle and pedestrian projects, etc.

Project Selection
TCAG will evaluate CMAQ/CRP applications received via this call for projects and the Board will award projects accordingly. Factors for award include the project’s cost effectiveness, emissions reductions, transportation equity, public involvement in the agency’s project selection process, project readiness and delivery dates, and leveraging.

CMAQ and CRP are time-sensitive programs and deliverability is key. Because projects can fall behind and have done so in the past, there will likely be a contingency list of projects selected that may receive funds if a selected project is not able to be implemented in time. Projects on contingency lists remain in place until a subsequent call for projects.

Projects that are submitted should state the year they will be obligated (receive Caltrans approval). Projects must submit completed project authorization requests in the fiscal year authorized by TCAG for funding by April 1st. TCAG will work with agencies to schedule the specific year of obligation for approved projects. Funding will be lost for projects not submitted on time; exceptions may be made for extenuating circumstances. Frequent and proactive communication regarding project status is essential and maximizes project deliverability and CMAQ funding.

The minimum match requirement for the CMAQ program is 11.47 percent. A local match may be increased beyond 11.47% to achieve greater emissions reductions per federal dollar if an agency believes that will make their project more competitive. CMAQ projects must demonstrate a reduction of ozone and/or PM2.5 (particulate matter) pollutants. The minimum match requirement for the CRP program is 20%.

A note to applicants: each phase of a project that is programmed with CMAQ and CRP funds will be required to undergo the federal authorization process, and projects must 340

Dinuba Exeter Farmersville Lindsay Porterville Tulare Visalia Woodlake County of Tulare

follow federal rules throughout. In many cases, project requests are for project construction only, with design, right-of-way, etc. funded with local or other funds. For example, if CMAQ is to be used for construction, the environmental and right of way process would still have to meet federal requirements. Additionally, since cost-effectiveness is key, keep in mind that the higher amount of federal funds requested, the lower the potential competitiveness of the project.

Project Evaluation and Scoring

Cost Effectiveness (maximum 30 points)

Cost effective projects are those that meet the $63 per pound cost-effectiveness threshold.

Projects will be scored on relative basis (i.e. how they compare to each other by project type). For example, if multiple signal synchronization projects are received, the cost effectiveness of each will be compared to one another, and project with the lowest cost per pound will be given the higher cost effectiveness score, followed by the next lowest cost per pound, etc.

Applicants are required to utilize CARB’s automated Cost-Effectiveness of Funding Air Quality Projects tool to determine the cost effectiveness of their project(s).

The tool is available online at: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/congestion- mitigation-and-air-quality-improvement-cmaq-program

Special note about roundabouts: If you are planning to submit a roundabout application, please contact TCAG early on. We will perform the emissions reductions calculations for roundabouts because they rely on measuring vehicle delay and TCAG has the tools to measure this.

Emissions Reductions (maximum 25 points)

Projects will be evaluated on a relative basis (i.e. how they compare to each other) based on the submitted CMAQ analysis for air quality pollutant reductions of PM2.5, ROG, and NOx.

Transportation Equity (maximum 15 points)

Project has a high, medium, or low positive impact on transportation accessibility to Environmental Justice (EJ) communities.

Cost Increases
CMAQ projects are selected competitively, with a major factor being the quantity of emissions reduced per dollar of federal project cost. Cost increases on projects after initial selection reduces what would have been the real, competitive ranking of the project.

Additionally, cost increases reduce the reportable emissions reductions per dollar that TCAG submits to state and federal agencies in reports. Cost increases on projects from original applications will be borne by the implementing agency. In circumstances where an agency feels the cost increase is warranted from CMAQ funds, the agency and TCAG staff can present that request to the TCAG Board for case-by-case approval.

Agenda Item Wording:

Design Contract for Improvements at Walnut Ave/Lovers Lane Intersection - Authorize the City Manager to award a professional design services contract to QK, Inc., for the design of the traffic signal modification and intersection improvements at Walnut Avenue and Lovers Lanee.

Deadline for Action: None
Submitting Department: Engineering & Building
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Adrian Rubalcaba, Associate Engineer, [email protected], (559)713-4507 Jason Huckleberry, Dept. Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to bypass the public bidding process and award a professional design services contract to QK, Inc., for the design and preparation of construction bid documents for the Traffic Signal Modification and Intersection Improvements at Walnut Avenue and Lovers Lane (CP0521), for an amount not to exceed $195,885.

Background Discussion:

The purpose of this project is to reduce traffic delay and improve operations at the Walnut Avenue and Lovers Lane intersection. The signalized intersection is currently operating in split phase operation due to the single lane configuration of the east leg on Walnut Avenue. The project objectives are to complete the ultimate design configuration of the major arterial intersection which will include traffic signal modifications, intersection widening including street widening improvements along the northside of Walnut Avenue (east and west of Lovers Lane), and striping modifications to accommodate 4-lanes of travel between Cedar and McAuliff Streets on Walnut Avenue; all to provide for an efficient and safe traffic flow of all modes of transportation through the intersection and Walnut Avenue corridor (see Exhibit A attached hereto for layout). The consultant scope will include the necessary technical services to develop the Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates (PS&E) to obtain bids for construction.

Prior Development:

The intersection of Walnut Avenue and Lovers Lane was evaluated as part of a Traffic Impact Study completed with the adjacent subdivision development, Quail River Subdivision (aka “SequoiaTrails”) on the southeast corner and was identified as needing to be modified to handle the associated traffic volume stemming from development. The signal modification improvements were conditioned as part of the subdivision development approval and the design was incorporated into the subdivision improvements plans produced by QK, Inc. The development would later be stalled by the process of acquiring right-of-way from the CalFire property, located at the northeast corner of the intersection, Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 1 of 4

346
File #: 24-0017 Agenda Date: 2/5/2024 Agenda #: 4.
which is a crucial element to be able to complete the intersection and street expansion.

The CalFire site is state-owned property and due to the lengthy acquisition review and processing through the states’Department of General Services (DGS), coupled with the City’scost responsibility to reimburse the developer for these intersection improvements, it was agreed between City staff and Developer, Beazer Homes, that the signal modification and intersection improvements be omitted from the development conditions and in turn, City staff would develop a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to continue with the acquisition process and complete the design and construction of the intersection and roadway improvements at a later time.

City Project Status:

City Council approved the CIP “Traffic Signal Modifications at Lovers Lane and Walnut Avenue” (CP0521) as part of the adoption of the FY 2022-23 and 2023-24 two-year budget cycle.

CP0521 is a multi-funded project funded locally through the Transportation Impact Fee Fund (241) and Measure R Local Fund (131).

The project scope of work for the intersection improvements includes widening of the east leg of the intersection to two-lanes in both east and west directions, dedicated right-turn lanes, pedestrian crossings, overhead safety lighting, battery back-up system, video vehicle and bicycle detections system, emergency vehicle preemption equipment, ADA compliant curb ramp returns, curb and gutter, storm drainage, pavement, and other modifications typical of signal upgrades. The intersection will also incorporate new conduit and pull boxes making it ready to incorporate signal interconnect fiber and into the City’sIntelligent Transportation System (ITS) network in the future. Widening of the east leg of the intersection will also include improvements along the CalFire parcel frontage such as curb & gutter, sidewalk, SCE pole relocations, pavement, drive approach, and median improvements, but will also include onsite improvements consistent with the right-of-way negotiations between the City, CalFire, and DGS. Those onsite improvements will consist of, but may not be limited to, tree removal, irrigation and landscape repair, modification of gated entry, asphalt parking lot redesign, monument sign relocation, new fencing, and a 7-foot masonry wall. Additional work to the west of Lovers Lane, along the north side of Walnut Avenue, will include curb & gutter, sidewalk, and pavement improvements, completing the unimproved segment between the northwest corner commercial development and Cedar Street.

The environmental portion of the project is complete. A Categorical Exemption was filed with Tulare County on December 20, 2022 as Environmental Document No. 2022-58. Staff is currently coordinating with DGS and CalFire to process the purchase and sale agreement for the additional right-of-way take. Staff anticipates the acquisition will finalize and 100% design PS&E will be complete by the summer of 2024. However, due to the 12 to 18 month lead time for SCE to process, plan, and complete the transmission pole relocations, and that the City must obtain full right-of-way rights prior to any relocation request, construction cannot be scheduled until the beginning of 2025, following further coordination efforts with SCE at the time.

Bypass Public Bidding Process:

Staff recommends selecting QK, Inc. as the design consultant for this project as they are the engineers of record from the previous subdivision development and have produced 90% plan design for the majority of the signal modification and roadway improvements. However, these plans are required to be updated to current standards; ADA, incorporating ITS technologies, etc., as identified above. Additional work not part of the original plans also includes the onsite work on Cal Fire property and the road improvements west of Lovers Lane. The background and design progress thus far will allow for a seamless design transition for the City CIP. Therefore, City staff recommends bypassing of Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 2 of 4

Therefore, City staff recommends bypassing of the public bidding process to select a consultant as it is believed there will be a cost savings associated with this option for the following reasons: 1) taking advantage of engineering work already completed for the area and location; 2) optimizing efficiencies by minimizing the level of effort and avoiding overlapping/reproduced work; and, 3) reducing staff time and costs involved in a Request For Proposal (RFP) process and delays to get SCE started Fiscal Impact:

Design will be funded through Transportation Impact Funds (241) and Measure R Local Funds (131) budgeted for the project (CP0521). Additional funding for added work scope and construction and design cost increases has been submitted by staff with the upcoming FY 2024-25 budget cycle, therefore staff does not seek additional funding appropriation at this time. There are currently sufficient funds within the budgeted CIP to fund the contract award to QK, Inc.

Below is the summary of the project budget estimates:

Budget Summary Amount
Design Consultant $ 195,885
City Staff PM $ 141,415
Land Acquisition / ROW $ 166,600
Construction $ 1,509,400
Total Project Costs (Estimated) $ 2,013,300
Current Budget
Measure R Local (Fund 131) $150,000
Transportation Impact Fee (Fund 141) $605,000
Total Budget $755,000
Budget Deficit $(1,258,000)
The total contract award to QK, Inc., will be in the amount not to exceed $195,885.00 to provide professional design services to produce the Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates (PS&E) to obtain bids for construction.

Chantha Chap, Civil Engineer, [email protected], 713-4418 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering Director, [email protected], 713-4495 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to file a Notice of Completion for the FY 19-20 Major Street Rehabilitation - Goshen Ave.

Summary:

The project consisted of the pavement rehabilitation of approximately 2.9 miles of roadway on Goshen Avenue from Shirk Street to Mooney Blvd. The rehabilitation work included removing and replacing isolated areas of pavement failures, also known as digouts, edge grind of the existing asphalt pavement, and overlay with hot mix asphalt and paving mat. The paving mat is placed prior to the asphalt overlay and is designed to maximize the life of the new pavement section. In addition, this project also included the upgrade of existing curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

This project was completed within budget and with only one change order for balancing of the quantities.

Total project costs (construction contract, balancing quantities change order, material testing and staff time) were $3,126,633.17. The construction contract was awarded to A.J. Excavation, Inc. in the amount of $3,199,427. The final cost of the construction contract including change orders is $2,989,052.67. The total for the sole change order was amounted to -$210,374.33.

Engineering staff presented these items to the Change Order Committee on January 25th, 2023, where the committee approved. The Change Order Committee is a non-appointed committee of technical staff who are not directly involved with the project being considered. The Committee reviews the contract change order request for completeness, accuracy, constructability, objectivity, consistency, and overall insight.

Background:

There was one construction change order related to this project which involved the balancing of quantities. This adjustment was made to align the contracted quantities with the actual amount of materials integrated into the project, ensuring a precise match between the project's specifications and the implemented work.

In conventional grind and overlay projects, adjustments to quantities are commonplace, notably concerning the amount of asphalt utilized. Engineers typically estimate the required asphalt quantity based on average densities derived from local plants, often estimating conservatively to mitigate shortages. In this instance, the actual density of the asphalt incorporated into the project was less than the initial estimate, leading to a reduction in the overall asphalt quantity. This variance resulted in significant cost savings, with the majority of the quantity adjustments contributing to the notable savings in asphalt expenses.

The project encountered various challenges, including the onset of cold temperatures, necessitating a temporary suspension until more favorable weather conditions prevailed. Resuming operations in the following spring, the paving phase concluded during this past summer. However, during inspections, staff identified uneven and bumpy areas. Subsequent meetings with the contractor led to the development of a repair strategy involving grinding down the uneven surfaces across approximately 11.6 lane miles of new asphalt on Goshen, incurring no additional costs for the City.

The bumpy conditions have been successfully addressed, resulting in a significantly improved overall ride quality. Despite these challenges, the project was successfully completed within the grant deadline, and staff is currently finalizing the closeout documentation.

Fiscal Impact:

The construction project was funded by Measure N (Fund 141) and STBGP (Fund 111) funds.

Below is a breakdown of all the costs associated with this project:

Budget Summary: FY 19-20 Major Street Rehab - Goshen Ave, CP0490 (STBGP) Project Budget:

STBGP (Fund 111) $2,700,000
Measure N (Fund 141) $820,000
Budget Total $3,520,000
Estimated Project Costs:

Construction Contract Amount $3,199,427
Change Order -$210,374.33
Materials Testing $32,580.50
Construction Management & Inspection $105,000
Total Project Cost $3,126,633.17
Approximate Funding Remaining $393,366.83
Unexpended City funds will be returned to the funds they originated from.

Parking Agreement for Mayor’s Park - Second reading of Ordinance 2024-02, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Dr. Christopher J. Wood, DDS, MS, for the use of 4 parking lot spaces at Mayor’s Park.

Deadline for Action: 2/5/2024
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Jana Ferguson, Financial Analyst, 713-4429; Renee Nagel, Director of Finance and Technology, 713-4575
Department Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the second reading of Ordinance 2024-02, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a 10-year agreement with Dr. Christopher J. Wood, DDS, MS, for the use of 4 parking spaces at Mayor’s Park during the hours of 8 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday, in exchange for the upkeep and maintenance of the parking lot and immediate surrounding landscaping.

Background Discussion:

In 1984, Dr. Stephen McAuliff rehabilitated a building at 1549 West Main Street as an orthodontic office. In order to provide adequate parking for his patients, he approached the City about constructing 4 parking spaces on the edge of Mayor’s Park. The Council, at that time, granted a ten- year agreement with the option to renew it for an additional ten years. Dr. McAuliff renewed the lease in 1994, and at the time of the renewal, another ten-year option was added, extending the lease until 2004.

In 2004, Dr. McAuliff reached out to continue the agreement keeping the terms of the agreement the same, which allowed his office the use of the spaces from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday and he is solely responsible for the cost of all upkeep and maintenance of the parking spaces and surrounding landscaping. Council agreed to adopt Ordinance 2004-24, granting him a new agreement for ten years with an option for an additional ten years.

In November of this year, the City received a letter from Dr. McAuliff notifying us that he had sold the business and the property to Dr. Christopher Wood, DDS, MS. Staff reached out to Dr. Wood to see if he was interested in the same general agreement that Dr. McAuliff had maintained for the last 40 years and he was very eager to continue the relationship with the City that Dr. McAuliff had established. He understands that all maintenance, paving, striping, landscaping, and insurance costs are solely his responsibility in exchange for his office’s use of the 4 parking spaces from 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to award a sole source contract with Mintier Harnish in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for the preparation of Objective Design Standards for Single-Family Development as outlined in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit “A”, and to appropriate $30,000 from the General Fund for the preparation of Objective Design Standards for Single-Family Development for the City of Visalia.

Background on Original Scope of Work with Mintier Harnish:

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the release of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $119,040,000 as part of the Local Early Action Planning Grants Program (LEAP). On June 29, 2021, the City received notification that the Community Development Department was approved for funding and a conditional commitment of an award in the full amount of $246,000. As part of the LEAP grant, Planning staff identified three projects: 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance update, and Planned Unit Development Ordinance update, all of which assist with streamlining housing approvals.

The update to the City of Visalia’sPlanned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance is needed given current growth and development trends which developers are seeking ways to maximize density by implementing various design techniques including “cluster”housing units, reduced number of units on street frontages, and incorporation of private open space. To ensure that future residential PUD’scan be analyzed and evaluated based on a set of reliable codified design standards that are in keeping with the PUD Ordinance objectives, an update to this section of the Zoning Ordinance ensures that developers have a clear understanding on the development standards required of these unique Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 1 of 3

projects that seek to develop housing units at a higher density range.

On November 11, 2022, the City Council authorized the execution of a contract with Mintier Harnish for the preparation of both the ADU and PUD Zoning ordinance updates using the LEAP grant to fund these ordinance updates.

Separate Task for Preparation of Single-Family Objective Standards The City Council directed staff to consider initiating potential updates for traditional single-family development design standards following a work session on January 31, 2022 regarding SB 9, and following a work session on July 18, 2022, that followed City Council review of a recent subdivision map associated with an annexation initiation request.

As part of the consultant consultation following entering into contract with Mintier Harnish, staff asked if they were able to prepare a separate scope of work and budget for the preparation of objective design standards for Single-Family Residential zoned properties. The request was made based on the similarity in nature to the proposed Zoning Ordinance updates, which primarily revolve around design issues such as setbacks, parking, lot sizes, and open space standards for residential developments.

Mintier Harnish prepared a work plan and budget amount that evaluates existing City zoning regulations and development standards pertaining to single-family residential development. The total cost to do this additional work in addition to the updates to the ADU and PRD ordinances is $30,000.

Mintier Harnish is progressing with updates to the ADU and PUD ordinances under the LEAP grant and awarding this additional task helps in delivery design standards that can be implemented on future housing developments.

Fiscal Impact:

Staff is recommending to appropriate $30,000 from the General Fund to the current CIP 1010- 72000/CP0597-999. The project will require staff time from existing in-house City staff to manage the consultant and assist with providing data.

Prior Council Action:
· On January 31, 2022, the City Council received a presentation from staff regarding the States adoption of Senate Bill 9 regarding “by-right” owner lot splits and ADU development. · On July 18, 2022, the City Council received a staff presentation of current zoning codified development standards related to traditional R-1-5 single-family residential subdivisions. · On November 11, 2022, the City Council authorized the execution of a contract with Mintier Harnish for the preparation of both the ADU and PUD Zoning ordinance updates using the LEAP grant to fund these ordinance updates.

Other: None.

Alternatives:

In lieu of the recommendation, the City Council may deny the request and direct staff to prepare Objective Design Standards for Single-Family Development.

Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) - Belt Filter Press Dewatering Unit Rental - Authorize the City Manager to award an emergency contract to Aspen Rentals of Angleton, TX in the amount of $349,868 for the 24-month rental of a belt filter press dewatering unit. Also, authorize the appropriation of $360,000 from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund (431).

Deadline for Action: 2/5/2023
Submitting Department: Public Works
Contact Name and Phone Number: Ben Litwack, WRF Superintendent, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, 713-4671. Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, 713-4052 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to award an emergency contract to Aspen Rentals of Angleton, TX in the amount of $349,868 for the 24-month rental of a belt filter press dewatering unit. Also, authorize the appropriation of $360,000 from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund (431).

Background Discussion:

The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is equipped with two screw presses for dewatering that currently run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to keep up with demand. If either of the two screw presses or the conveyance system malfunctions, biosolids begin backing up through the system. If this backup occurs and is not addressed, critical operations throughout the Plant are affected and will ultimately cause the treatment processes to fail.

If the solids loadings coming into the plant remain as high as they’ve been over the past year and operational improvements are not made, eventually the solids concentrations in the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) will climb to the point where adequate clarification isn’t possible which will trigger a bypassing of the UV system and will put the WRF out of compliance until the problem is resolved.

The increased biosolids concentration in the MBR will also lead to increased wear and tear, potentially causing damage that would be costly to repair.

Carollo is currently under contract to design near-term improvements to address the shortcomings in our biosolids dewatering equipment. While Carollo’s scope of work does include the design of a third dewatering screw press alongside the two currently in service, this solution won’t be implemented for an estimated 2 years. Based on current conditions, the need for an additional dewatering unit cannot wait for these improvements to be completed. It is imperative that a stopgap solution be put in place until the near-term improvements are implemented to maintain compliance with state and federal Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 1 of 3

regulations and to preserve the City’s investment in the WRF.

If a portable Belt filter press is rented and implemented, it would clear the current backlog of biosolids in the system and alleviate the strain on the two screw presses that are currently in service and allow our treatment systems to perform within optimal parameters. Once the backlog is cleared, the portable Belt filter press would allow WRF staff to operate one screw press at a time so that adequate preventative maintenance could be performed on the other screw press. Additionally, the ultimate construction and installation of a third screw press, as proposed by Carollo, will require that solids dewatering in the screw presses be stopped for a period of time. The WRF will require a temporary dewatering unit to handle the biosolids during that time. Having a portable belt filter press already in place will ensure that the WRF has a seamless transition when the third screw press is installed.

Staff received 3 quotes for a belt filter press and they are as follows:

1. Aspen Rentals: $13,475/month. The 2-year total is $349,868 with freight and setup/training.

2. W.B.I. Inc.: $14,000/month. The 2-year total is $360,000 with freight and setup/training.

3. Sebright Technologies: $16,466.67/month ($3,800 weekly). The 2-year total is $482,624 with freight and a required sludge grinder rental.

Aspen Rentals had the lowest quote, has rented a belt filter press unit to the City in the past, and is familiar with the specific solids handling needs of the WRF. Aspen Rentals has competitive rental pricing and has a unit that could be available as soon as March 1st. The unit being proposed would nearly double our dewatering capacity in the near term, thus ensuring the necessary production and eventual redundancy needed until the near-term improvements are completed.

Fiscal Impact:

Aspen Rentals has quoted a total price of $349,868 for rental of the belt filter press unit.

The quote includes:
· Rental for 24 months @ $13,475/month
· Freight to and from our location @ $10,434/trip
· 2 days travel time and 2 days of setup and training by a technician @ $1,400/day Aspen Rentals has noted in their quote that the price may vary on demobilization for an extended rental due to the potential for freight costs to increase, so staff is requesting the approval and appropriation of $360,000 within the Wastewater Enterprise Fund 431.

Prior Council Action: None
Other: None
Alternatives: Competitively select a rental belt filter press provider through the RFB (RFB) process through the City’s Purchasing Department. (Due to the critical nature and timing of this work, this is Visalia City Council Printed on 4/26/2024Page 2 of 3
