Agreement Between Cal OES/CAL FIRE/USFS/BLM/NPS/FWS/BIA May 1, 2020
GENERAL
A-1 It is the intent of the signatories to the CFAA to reimburse California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies, including accrued financial liability for the cost of assisting the State of California and the Federal Fire Agencies. The rates, methodologies, and formulas in the Agreement are intended to provide for such costs. The reimbursement shall be consistent with the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agency’s normal internal business practices and any existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)/Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Governing Body Resolution (GBR), or equivalent, which supports those business practices.
A-2 The California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies shall use the following procedures to secure reimbursement for the provision of personnel and local government-owned emergency apparatus. Terms established in this section shall be made binding upon California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies by Cal OES and shall not be subject to interpretation or rejection by the jurisdiction providing assistance. See Clause A-41 for procedures that do not apply or are applicable to State Agency Fire Departments, Department of Defense Fire Departments (DOD), or Tribal Fire Departments.
A-3 California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies that provide their personnel and equipment to the State of California or the Federal Fire Agencies through the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System and this Agreement, do so on a voluntary basis, and accept the following provisions for reimbursement.
A-4 It is understood and agreed that a California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agency providing personnel or California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agency-owned emergency apparatus shall obtain reimbursement for such response by billing the ordering entity (either the State of California or Federal Fire Agency) through the Cal OES invoicing process in accordance with this Exhibit.
A-5 Reimbursement for personnel and emergency apparatus will begin after the 12th hour, with the exception of aircraft which will be billed from the time of dispatch. There shall be no reimbursement for responses of 12 hours duration or less with the exception of the Department of Interior (DOI) fire agencies (BLM, NPS, FWS, and BIA). DOI reimbursement for personnel and emergency apparatus will begin after the 4th hour. If the duration of the response exceeds 12 hours (4 hours for DOI) and local agencies have an existing MOU/MOA, GBR, or equivalent that indicates compensation for all hours worked, reimbursement for personnel and emergency apparatus shall cover the entire time of commitment, beginning at the time of initial dispatch from EXHIBIT “A”

Agreement Between Cal OES/CAL FIRE/USFS/BLM/NPS/FWS/BIA May 1, 2020 home base, to the time of return to home base (portal to portal). If local agencies do not have an existing MOU/MOA, GBR, or equivalent that indicates compensation for all hours worked, local agencies will be reimbursed for actual hours worked. Should personnel or emergency apparatus be requested for assignment to a Mobilization Center for standby duty, the reimbursement period shall begin with the time of initial dispatch of said personnel or emergency apparatus from its home base. Additionally, as the 12 hour period (4 hours for DOI) stated above is cumulative, responding personnel and/or emergency apparatus shall only be subject to one 12 hour period (4 hours for DOI) from the original time of dispatch, regardless of the number of re-assignments that may occur prior to returning to their home base.
A-6 In some cases on a single incident, the State of California and the Federal Fire Agencies may need to convert resources that were ordered under Statewide Master Mutual Aid (MMA) to reimburse resources under the California Fire Assistance Agreement. In these cases, MMA resources will be released by the responsible agency and reordered by the State of California and/or the Federal Fire Agencies through the CFAA. For resources that have been on the same incident for more than 12 hours (4 hours for DOI), reimbursement will begin at the time the order under the California Fire Assistance Agreement was initiated. Resources that have been on the same incident under MMA for 12 hours (4 hours for DOI) or less will have their time applied to the California Fire Assistance Agreement 12-hour (4 hours for DOI) minimum. After the 12 hours (4 hours for DOI) are completed, reimbursement will begin at the time the order under the California Fire Assistance Agreement was initiated.

Formula for Personnel Reimbursement Using Base Rates
A-13 California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies will submit a salary survey to be reimbursed at the established Engine Company Base Rate for personnel responding on emergency apparatus or as overhead personnel at or below the Strike Team/Task Force Leader Trainee level.
Strike Team/Task Force/Unit Leader level or above personnel will be reimbursed at the established Overhead Base Rate.
A-14 California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agencies that have not submitted a Salary Survey for rates above the established Base Rates will submit a salary survey to be reimbursed using one of the following formulas:
The formula for the total invoice amount with an MOU/MOA, GBR, or equivalent for all hours (portal-to-portal) is:
(B x H1) = Total Personnel Reimbursement
The formula for the total invoice amount without an MOU/MOA, GBR, or equivalent for all hours (actual hours) is:
(B x H2) = Total Personnel Reimbursement
B = Base Rate
H
1 = All Hours (portal-to-portal)
H
2 = Actual Hours Worked
The Established Base Rate (B) is based on the average of the CAL FIRE Fire Captain or Fire Apparatus Engineer base rates and the USDA Forest Service emergency hire rates for these positions applied to a 168 hour week, with 40 hours at straight-time and 128 hours at overtime.
The total amount is then divided by 168 hours resulting in a blended rate.
Formula for Establishing the Base Rates
The following base rate formulas include an overtime component.
Base Rate formula for Engine Company Personnel and Overhead at or below Strike Team/Task Force Leader Trainee
(AD-F + CAL FIRE Fire Apparatus Engineer base rate) / 2 = Combined Rate, ((Combined Rate x 40 Hours Straight Time) + (Combined Rate x 128 Hours Overtime)) / 168 = Overtime Base Rate x .6667 = Straight Time Base Rate

Agreement Between Cal OES/CAL FIRE/USFS/BLM/NPS/FWS/BIA May 1, 2020 Clauses A-38 and A-39 authorizes the reimbursement of personnel and transportation costs incurred to replace California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System Agency personnel committed to extended assignments under this Agreement. Personnel under this Agreement are to be available a minimum of seven (7) days excluding travel (portal-to-portal) before needing replacement, regardless of the number of assignments. This exhibit lists the procedures necessary for a local jurisdiction to follow before reimbursement for their costs will be processed for rotation of their personnel. These procedures only apply when the emergency apparatus remains assigned to the incident but the personnel are rotated. The procedures are:
C-1 The incident commander (IC) or Mobilization (MOB) center manager to which the resources are assigned must approve the personnel rotation and method of transportation. Such approval should not be denied without substantial cause, (e.g., imminent planned release (24 – 36 hours)) of the resources, or a negotiated extension through the Cal OES Fire Agency Representative. The personnel rotation and transportation plan must be coordinated through the incident, the ordering point, agency representative, and/or the overhead responsible for the personnel to be rotated.
C-2 The approved personnel rotation will be documented in:
C-2.1 The approved automated resource ordering system of record. The resource order will be annotated in the documentation section by the incident indicating the date and time of personnel rotation approval. Subsequently the home unit/filling command center will add documentation to include the following information:
C-2.1.1 Method/Mode, date and time of transportation.
C-2.1.2 An ICS General Message Form-213/Rotation Job Aid Template designed specific for personnel rotation must be signed by the IC or MOB center manager approving the rotation. This form shall be attached to the respective OES F-42 associated with the rotation vehicle and overlapping time of personnel.
C-2.2 OES F-42
C-2.2.1 Box 12 of the original OES F-42 will document any personnel rotation with the date and time of the rotation for all individuals whether or not the personnel rotation will be reimbursed.

Agreement Between Cal OES/CAL FIRE/USFS/BLM/NPS/FWS/BIA May 1, 2020 D-1 It shall be the responsibility of the agency sending mutual aid resources to ensure that those resources have adequate communications capabilities. Adequate communications capability is defined as VHF Highband radios with a minimum of 240 channels and pre-programmed with the most current FIRESCOPE STATEWIDE FREQUENCY CHANNEL PLAN. Effective January 1, 2024, radios will be required to have a minimum capacity of 400 channels with a recommended minimum of 500 channels.
D-2 Emergency apparatus used for mutual aid will have a mobile VHF Highband radio (powered by the emergency apparatus battery and connected to an external antenna) and a minimum of one portable VHF Highband radio. The VHF Highband portable radio should be capable of being operated by alkaline batteries.
D-3 Strike Team/Task Force Leaders: In addition to the communications capability required for emergency apparatus, line personnel are encouraged to respond with a conventional 800 MHz radio pre-programmed with the 800 MHz mutual aid channels as identified in FIRESCOPE STATEWIDE FREQUENCY CHANNEL PLAN.
D-4 For Narrowband Radios: On January 1, 2013, all public safety and business industrial land mobile radio systems operating in the 150-512 MHz radio bands must cease operating using 25 kHz efficiency technology, and begin operating using at least 12.5 kHz efficiency technology. This deadline is the result of an FCC effort that began almost two decades ago to ensure more efficient use of the spectrum and greater spectrum access for public safety and non-public safety users.
Migration to 12.5 kHz efficiency technology (once referred to as Refarming, but now referred to as Narrowbanding) will allow the creation of additional channel capacity within the same radio spectrum, and support more users.
D-5 After January 1, 2013, licensees not operating at 12.5 KHz efficiency will be in violation of the Commission's rules and could be subject to FCC enforcement action, which may include admonishment, monetary fines, or loss of license. Agencies shall ensure that local radio channels are not utilized outside of the agency’s licensed area of operation.
D-6 Agencies should provide a minimum of 4 hours of annual basic radio training for Division Supervisors, Strike Team Leaders, and single resource leader positions.

Agenda Item Wording:
Record Final Subdivision Map - Request authorization to record the final map for Elliott Subdivision Phase 1, located west of South Roeben Street, approximately 650 feet south of West Tulare Avenue (83 lots); and also request authorization to initiate proceedings for the formation of Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-07, “Elliott Subdivision,” and ordering and levying the annual assessments for Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-07, “Elliott Subdivision.” (Resolution Nos. 2025-54 and 2025-55 required).
Prepared by:
Luqman Ragabi, Associate Engineer, [email protected], (599) 713-4362 Adrian Rubalcaba, Sr. Project Manager, [email protected] (559)713-4507 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495.
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the recordation of the final map for Elliott Subdivision Phase 1, located west of South Roeben Street, approximately 650 feet south of West Tulare Avenue. Staff also recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-54 initiating proceedings for the formation of Assessment District No. 25-07 "Elliott Subdivision" and adopt Resolution No. 2025-55 ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for Assessment District No. 25-07 "Elliott Subdivision".
Summary:
The Elliott Subdivision will subdivide 59.13 acres into a 225-lot single-family residential subdivision, along with five lettered lots designated for Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) purposes. The
59.13-acre site consists of two currently undeveloped parcels and is planned to be developed in two phases. The final map Elliott Subdivision Phase 1 will subdivide of 25.4-acres into 83 lots with four lettered out lots (A - D). Lot A, a 4-acre park, will be dedicated to the City as part of the Subdivision.
The remaining 25-acres will be completed as Elliott Subdivision Phase 2. The proposed subdivision will provide internal, 60-foot-wide public local streets containing full improvements (curb, gutter, parkway landscaping, sidewalks and streetlights) and underground infrastructure (sewer lines, storm drainage, gas electricity and water). Primary access to the subdivision will be from Roeben Street, which is identified as a collector. Secondary access will be provided from west Tulare Ave.
This final map Elliott Subdivision Phase 1 is ready for recording. All bonds, cash payments, subdivision agreement, and final map have been submitted by the developer, San Joaquin Valley Homes., and are in the possession of the City as follows: 1) An executed subdivision agreement; 2) Faithful Performance Bond in the amount of $6,625,423.75 and Labor and Materials Bond in the amount of $3,312,711.88; 3) cash payment of $817,545.49 distributed to various accounts to cover City fees; and 4) final map
The Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-07 has also been reviewed and approved as to form by the Landscape and Lighting District Committee. All new landscaping installed with this development will strictly adhere to the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO).

development will strictly adhere to the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO).
MWELO required that landscaping and irrigation plans be certified by a qualified entity (i.e., a Landscape Architect) as meeting the State and City’s water conservation requirements. In addition, MWELO increases water efficiency standards for new landscapes through use of more efficient irrigation systems, inclusion of drought tolerant plan and tree species, and by limiting the portion of landscape that can be covered in turf.
Background Discussion:
The Faithful Performance Bond covers the cost of constructing the public improvements noted in the subdivision agreement and the Labor and Material Bond covers the salaries and benefits as well as the materials supplied to install the required public improvements. As required by the Subdivision Ordinance, the Faithful Performance Bond covers 100% of the cost of the public improvements. The Labor and Material Bond is valued at 50% of the Faithful Performance Bond. A Maintenance Bond valued at 10% of the cost of the public improvements will be required prior to recording the Notice of Completion. The Maintenance Bond is held for one year after the recording and acts as a warranty for the public improvements installed per the subdivision agreement. The cash payment covers Development Impact Fees such as storm water acquisition, waterways, sewer front foot fees, and any outstanding plan check and inspection fees. The plan check and inspection fees are estimated at the beginning of the final map process and are not confirmed until the subdivision agreement is finalized. Differences are due in cash at the time of City Council approval of the map.
The City of Visalia has been allowing the developers of subdivisions to form assessment districts under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, and now under Proposition 218, in lieu of using homeowners associations for the maintenance of common features such as landscaping, irrigation systems, streetlights, street trees, and local streets. The maintenance of these improvements is a special benefit to the development and enhances the land values to the individual property owners in the district.
The Landscape and Lighting Act allows for the use of summary proceedings when all the affected property owners have given their written consent to waive the requirement for a public hearing. The notice period is also waived. The owner of this development has given their written consent to waive the public hearing and form this district. The use of summary proceedings allows for the initiation of proceedings and the final annexation action of the assessment district to be acted upon together as separate resolutions.
Pursuant to Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the Visalia Municipal Code, the City’s authorization to record the final map is a ministerial action. Specifically, Section 16.24.080 limits the City Council’s action to the specific determination that the final map conforms substantially to the contents of the tentative map, Chapter 16, and the Subdivision Map Act, and provides in pertinent part that “if the Council determines that the map is in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter, the Council shall approve the map (emphasis added).” Disapproval based upon any other reasons would be outside the authority of the Council for this particular action. The Council may reject any and all offers of dedication in the final map pursuant to Section 16.24.080, and require that the City Engineer so indicate on the map, however staff’s recommendation is that the City Council authorize recordation of the final map and accept all offers of dedication as previously described in this report.
Fiscal Impact: 83 lots will start contributing to the landscape and lighting assessment district (L&LD Visalia City Council Page 2 of 3 Printed on 7/18/2025

25-07) created for maintenance of common features related to this subdivision. The annual lot assessment will be $ 957.07 per lot.
Prior Council Action: On June 10, 1987 Council authorized the use of landscape maintenance assessment districts per the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 for maintaining common area features that are a special benefit and enhance subdivisions.
Other: On July 22, 2024 The Tentative subdivision map for Elliott Subdivision (Tentative Subdivision Map No. 5597) was approved by the Planning Commission.
On June, 2025, L&LD 25-07 was reviewed and approved as to form by the Landscape and Lighting Committee.
Alternatives: None recommended.
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):
I move to authorize the recordation of the final map for Elliott Subdivision Phase 1; the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-54 initiating proceedings for the formation of Assessment District No. 25-07 “Elliott Subdivision”; and the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-55 ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for Assessment District No. 25-07 “Elliott Subdivision.” Environmental Assessment Status: Completed.

Exhibit “D”
Engineer’s Report
Assessment District No. 25-07; City of Visalia, Tulare County, California Elliott Subdivision
General Description
This Assessment District (25-07, Elliott Subdivision) located west of South Roeben Street, approximately 650 feet south of West Tulare Avenue. Exhibit “A” is a map of Assessment District 25-07. This district includes the maintenance of shrub areas, irrigation systems, street trees, landscape trees, block walls, streetlights, pavement on local streets, and any other applicable equipment or improvements; see Exhibit “B”. The maintenance of irrigation systems and block wall includes, but is not limited to, maintaining the structural and operational integrity of these features and repairing any acts of vandalism (graffiti, theft or damage) that may occur. This District also includes the preventive maintenance of all internal local streets by means including, but not limited to overlays, cape seals, crack seals, and reclamite (oiling). The total number of lots within the district is 225, of which 83 will be assessed for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
Determination of Benefit
The purpose of landscaping is to provide an aesthetic impression for the area. The lighting is to provide safety and visual impressions for the area. The block wall provides security, aesthetics, and sound suppression. The maintenance of the landscape areas, street lights, streets, and block walls is vital for the protection of both economic and humanistic values of the development. In order to preserve the values incorporated within developments and to concurrently have an adequate funding source for the maintenance of all internal local streets within the subdivision, the City Council has determined that landscape areas, street lights, block walls, street trees, landscape trees, and all internal local streets should be included in a maintenance district to ensure satisfactory levels of maintenance.
Method of Apportionment
In order to provide an equitable assessment to all owners within the District, the following method of apportionment has been used. All lots in the District benefit equally, including lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and streetlights. The lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and streetlights benefit by the uniform maintenance and overall appearance of the District.
All lots in the District have frontage on an internal local street and therefore derive a direct benefit from the maintenance of the local streets.
Estimated Costs
The estimated costs to maintain the District includes the costs to maintain any landscaping, street trees, landscape trees, streetlights, block walls, and pavement on local streets. The regular preventive maintenance of pavement on local streets is based on the following schedule: Reclamite on a 5 year cycle, Crack Seal on a 7 year cycle; Cape Seal on a 15 year cycle and Overlays on a 20 year cycle

Annual Cost Increase
This assessment district shall be subject to an automatic annual increase derived by the following formula:
year “n” assessment = ($215,339.82) (1.05) (n-1)
where “n” equals the age of the assessment district with year one (1) being the year that the assessment district was formed;
However, in no case shall the assessment be greater than 1) The actual cost of providing the benefit conferred to each parcel plus any prior years’ deficit and less any carryover, as determined annually or; 2) a 10% increase over the prior year’s assessment.
The reserve fund shall be replenished as necessary to maintain a level of 10% of the estimated maintenance cost so long as the annual assessment change does not exceed the limits identified above.
Example 1) The year four estimated costs are $234,720.40 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $215,339.82]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $249,282.76 [ceiling = ($215,339.82) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $234,720.40 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort.
Example 2) The year four assessment is estimated at the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort of $243,334.00 [a 7% increase over the previous year assessment and a 13.0% increase over the base year assessment]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $249,282,76 [ceiling = ($215,339.82) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $243,334.00 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort because it is less than the ceiling amount and the year-to-year increase is less than the 10% cap on increases in any given year.
Example 3) The year four assessment is $234,720.40 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $215,339.82] and damage occurred to the masonry wall raising the year five assessment to $286,358.89 [a 22% increase over the previous year assessment]. The year five assessment will be capped at $258,192.44, a 10% increase over the previous year and under the ceiling of $261,746.90 [ceiling = ($215,339.82) (1.05) (5-1)]. The difference of $28,166.45 will be recognized as a deficit and carried over into future years’ assessment. 324

Service Agreement for After School Club for Visalia Unified School District - Authorize City Manager to execute an agreement between City of Visalia and Visalia Unified School District to provide an after school club for Crowley elementary school students at the city operated Manuel F.
Hernandez Community Center.
Prepared by: Laurissa Roggenkamp, Recreation Manager [email protected] (559)713-4336; Jason Glick, Parks and Recreation Director [email protected] (559)713-4042 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement between the City of Visalia and Visalia Unified School District for the purpose of providing an after-school club for the students of Crowley Elementary School at the city operated Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center.
Summary:
City and Visalia Unified School District (VUSD) staff are seeking a one-year service agreement for an after-school club program for the students of Crowley Elementary school. Crowley students will have the opportunity to sign-up for the after school club program at the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center through VUSD ELO-P services. VUSD will contract with City for 40 Crowley students to attend the City’s existing after-school program, for a total fee of $39,521.40 to paid to the City for the 2025- 2026 school year.
The Recreation division will continue to provide regular after-school and intersession programming, open to all Visalia youth, enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grades, at the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center. All participants of The Manuel after-school program will have the same access and opportunities to participate in organized activities and club offerings. Crowley students will receive a snack at campus before walking to the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center, escorted by Recreation staff.
Background Discussion:
In 2021 Visalia Unified School District (VUSD) became recipients of funds through the California Department of Education, Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P), derived from State of California Assembly Bill (AB) 130 to provide programs for transitional-kindergarten through sixth grade students that include before school, after school, summer, or intersession programs that assist in developing academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students through hands-on engaging learning experiences. VUSD utilizes this funding to partner with community entities to provide programs to students.
The Recreation division has offered a City subsidized free to attend after-school and intersession program at the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center dating back to the late 1980’s, the program is referred to as The Manuel. Due to the short distance between Crowley Elementary and the Manuel Visalia City Council Page 1 of 2 Printed on 7/18/2025

is referred to as The Manuel. Due to the short distance between Crowley Elementary and the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center, Recreation staff have provided a walking program for Crowley students from the school to The Manuel, with an average of 40 students in grades first through sixth participating.
Prior to 2017, The Manuel provided traditional after-school program enrichment; arts, crafts, sports; starting in 2017, with the funding of Measure N, staff were able to expand enrichment activities to include STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) based clubs. Throughout the school year STEAM based clubs such as; Art Explorers, Garden-Sprout Scouts, Yoga, Build-It Brigade, Bot Builders, 3D Creators and more are offered to the youth attending The Manuel. VUSD is interested in utilizing the City’s existing services at The Manuel, walking program and STEAM clubs, for the students of Crowley, as incorporated into the VUSD ELO-P program.
Fiscal Impact: Contract is not to exceed $39,521.40 and will be paid to the City by VUSD in monthly increments of $3,952.14, as invoiced.
Prior Council Action: N/A
Other: N/A
Alternatives: Do not approve Service Agreement. Recreation will continue to operate The Manuel program as-is, without being an after-school club option for Crowley Elementary school.
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):
Council authorizes the City Manager to execute an agreement between the City of Visalia and Visalia Unified School District for the purpose of providing an after-school club to the first through sixth grade students of Crowley Elementary at the city operated Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center for the 2025 - 2026 school year.

Park Project Notice of Completion - Request authorization to file a Notice of Completion for the Houk Park Shade Structure Design & Installation Services, at various parks.
Prepared by: Daryl Tillman, Park Maintenance Supervisor 713-4435 [email protected]; Alvin Dias, Parks and Facilities Manager 713-4564 [email protected]; Jason Glick, Parks and Recreation Director 713-4042 [email protected]
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Shade Structure Design & Installation Services Project at Houk Park.
Summary:
The scope of work included the design and installation of a freestanding shade structure. The contract was awarded to Zoom Recreation at the April 15, 2024, City Council Meeting in the amount of $156,920.89.
Background Discussion:
On March 12, 2024, and March 19, 2024, the City solicited bids by advertising in the Visalia Times Delta and the RFP was posted on Bid-Net. The City also emailed the RFP notices to contractors who have requested to be on our construction projects list to participate in this bid process.
On March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024, two mandatory pre-bid meetings were held at Houk Park.
Several contractors attended the pre-bid meetings. During the pre-bid meetings, staff reviewed the bid specifications, reviewed the mandatory requirements imposed by the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, and answered any questions.
Staff received several questions from contractors where staff carefully reviewed and answered them in a separate addendum.
On April 11, 2024, the City received three proposals from three (3) proposers. A selection committee was formed and met on April 30, 2024.
The selection committee reviewed the designs in a two-part process. The first review of the proposals that were submitted used the design criteria that were established in RFP #23-24-12D. During their review the committee felt that the proposals submitted by Zoom Recreation and Anchor 41 Construction were the top two proposals and met the design criteria established in RFP #23-24-12D.
Staff then submitted the results to the Purchasing Division and the sealed cost proposals were released to the selection committee for review. The selection committee then meet again on May 8, 2024, to review the cost for each of the two designs and concluded that the Zoom Recreation proposal was the overall winner that best meets the requirements of RFP #23-24-12D and the needs of the community.

Park Project Notice of Completion - Request authorization to file a Notice of Completion for the John Combs Park Playground Replacement Project.
Prepared by: Daryl Tillman, Park Maintenance Supervisor 713-4435; [email protected] Alvin Dias, Parks and Facilities Manager 713-4564; [email protected] Jason Glick, Parks and Recreation Director 713-4042; [email protected]
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Playground Replacement Project at John Combs Park.
Summary:
The scope of work included the removal of the existing playground structure and installation of a new playground structure with a freestanding shade structure. The contract was awarded to Gametime c/o MRC at the April 15, 2024, City Council Meeting in the amount of $183,160.00.
Background Discussion:
On December 14, 2023, and December 21, 2023, the City solicited bids by advertising in the Visalia Times Delta and the Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted on Bid-Net. The City also emailed the RFB notices to contractors who have requested to be on the City’s construction projects list to participate in this bid process.
On January 3, 2024, and January 4, 2024, two mandatory pre-bid meetings were held at Woodland Park. Several contractors attended the pre-bid meetings. During the pre-bid meetings, staff reviewed the bid specifications, reviewed the mandatory requirements imposed by the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, and answered any questions.
Staff received several questions from contractors where staff carefully reviewed and answered them in a separate addendum.
On January 25, 2024, the City received nine (9) proposals. A selection committee was formed and met on February 14, 2024.
The selection committee reviewed the designs in a two-part process. The first review of the proposals that were submitted used the design criteria that were established in RFP #23-24-29. During their review the committee felt that the proposals submitted by Anchor 41 Construction, Playcore, dba Gametime, and R. E. Schultz Option 2 had the top designs, with Gametime and R.E. Schultz submitting identical playground structures. Staff then submitted the results to the Purchasing Division and the sealed cost proposals were released to the selection committee for review. The selection committee then meet again on February 29, 2024, to review the cost for each of the top designs and concluded that the Gametime design proposal was the overall winner that best meets the Visalia City Council Page 1 of 2 Printed on 7/18/2025

Notice of Completion Willow Springs Unit No. 2 - Request authorization to file a Notice of Completion for Willow Springs, Unit No. 2 subdivision, located on the south side of Walnut Ave and East of Santa Fe Street, containing 87 residential lots.
Prepared by: Edelma Gonzalez, Associate Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4364; Adrian Rubalcaba, Sr. Project Manager, [email protected], (559)713-4507 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Department Director, [email protected], (559)713- 4495
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion for Willow Springs, Unit No. 2 subdivision.
Summary:
All of the required improvements for this subdivision have been completed and are ready for acceptance by the City Engineer. Willow Springs, Unit No. 2 subdivision, was developed by West Coast Construction (Morgan Enterprises, Inc.), and contains 87 single family residential lots.
The developer has submitted a maintenance bond in the amount of $247,225.50 as required by the Subdivision Map Act to guarantee the improvements against defects for one year. Staff recommends that authorization be given to file the Notice of Completion.
Background Discussion:
The City Council authorized the recording of the final map for Willow Springs, Unit No. 2, subdivision on November 16, 2020. All bonds and cash payments, as identified in the subdivision agreement, were received by the City at that time. As required by the subdivision ordinance, a maintenance bond valued at 10% of the cost of the public improvements has been submitted prior to recording of the Notice of Completion. The Maintenance Bond is held for one year after the recording and acts as a warranty for the public improvements installed per the subdivision agreement.
Fiscal Impact: By authorizing this Notice of Completion, the City of Visalia will incorporate the identified public improvements into normal routine maintenance plans and procedures following the one-year maintenance period. This will have a nominal adverse effect on the fund that provides such maintenance.
Prior Council Action:
On June 04, 2018 - Council authorized the recordation of Willow Spring Unit No. 1 final map, and the formation and assessment of Landscape and Lighting District 18-05 “Willow Springs.” On November 16, 2020 - Council authorized the recordation of the final map for Willow Springs, Unit No. 2, subdivision and the annexation of Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 18-05 “Willow Springs”.

Agenda Item Wording:
Professional Services Agreement for Transportation Impact Fee Update - Approve a professional services agreement for an update to the Transportation Impact Fee program with DTA Consultants for $95,940.
Prepared by: Adrian Rubalcaba, Sr. Project Manager (559) 713-4507 [email protected]; Chris Crawford, City Engineer, (559) 713-4331 [email protected]; Jason Huckleberry, Engineering and Building Dept. Director, (559) 713-4495, [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve a professional services agreement for an update to the Transportation Impact Fee program with DTA at a cost of $95,940.
Summary:
Visalia’s Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) Program’s last major update was adopted by Council in April 2015. A comprehensive update is now needed in order to stay up-to-date with project costs and fee calculations. This program update is required by the State of California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code, Title 7, Division 1) to identify the purpose of the fee, verify a nexus to new development and confirm that the fees are being used appropriately.
A Request for Proposals (RFP 23-24-23) was issued in October 2024, with proposals being due on November 7, 2024. The City received one proposal from DTA. After reviewing DTA’s written proposal they were selected by staff for the recommendation of Council award. DTA has an office in San Jose, CA and performed similar fee updates for agencies throughout California. The consultant’s cost proposal is an amount not to exceed $95,940.
Background Discussion:
The City’s Transportation Impact Fee Program is designed to help fund many of the City’s new arterial and collector status streets as outlined by the Circulation Element of the General Plan. This program has been an extremely important and necessary funding source for these new street projects. There have been many significant improvements done with this funding including major roadway improvements and expansions of Visalia Parkway, Caldwell Avenue, and Riggin Avenue.
Updating the TIF program to current construction costs and land values is essential to ensure the City is capable of planning and delivering these major roadways and relieving traffic congestion, as well as providing multimodal facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
The staff and consultant will perform extensive outreach to interested groups such as the BIA of Tulare and Kings Counties, Visalia Chamber of Commerce, Visalia Economic Development Corporation, and various active developers within the City. Several stakeholder meetings will be conducted during the course of this project in order to engage, gather input, and address questions and concerns about this update. These meetings will be helpful for the consultants and staff to communicate clearly the reasoning and calculations for the fee program. Under the current proposal, DTA has outlined a minimum of five in-person meetings with stakeholders, staff and City Council Visalia City Council Page 1 of 2 Printed on 7/18/2025

File #: 25-0285 Agenda Date: 7/21/2025 Agenda #: 19.
DTA has outlined a minimum of five in-person meetings with stakeholders, staff and City Council through adoption of the updated TIF program.
The consultant’s proposal outlines a six-month update process, thereby bringing a draft TIA to Council in March 2026 with final adoption targeted for April 2026.
Fiscal Impact: The update of the TIF program was budgeted in fiscal year 2024/25 in the amount of $220,000. With Council’s authorization the agreement of $95,940 would be executed with DTA; any remaining funding will be directed toward the upcoming Circulation Element Update as associated with the General Plan Update beginning in this fiscal year.
Prior Council Action:
April 6, 2015 - TIF Program update approved by Council by Resolution 2015-08.
Other: None
Alternatives: Council may elect to decline entering into the contract with the consultant and direct staff to readvertise the Request for Proposals seeking additional consultants to perform the Transportation Impact Fee program update.
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):
I recommend authorizing the City Manager to execute the professional services agreement with DTA for the Transportation Impact Fee program update in the amount of $95,940.
