Staff Report
Visalia Administration
707 W. Acequia
Visalia, CA 93291
File #: 26-0041 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 1.

Agenda Item Wording:

Proposed elimination of Transit Fixed Route 17 - Consider the proposed elimination of Transit Fixed Route 17 that serves the Visalia Industrial Park and the scheduling of a 30-day public comment period and public hearing.

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by:

Angelina Baker, Transit Manager, [email protected], (559)713-4591 John Lollis, Assistant City Manager, [email protected], (559)713-4323 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report, open a public comment period and schedule a public hearing for its meeting on September 7, 2026, to consider the proposed elimination of the Transit Fixed Route 17 due to low ridership.

Summary:

Staff proposes what is defined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as a major service reduction in the proposed elimination of Transit Fixed Route 17 due to exceedingly low ridership effective October 1, 2026. The FTA defines a major service reduction as twenty-five percent (25%) or more reduction of the number of transit route miles of a route, i.e. the total mileage covered during one round trip by a vehicle in revenue service on a particular route. Consistent with FTA guidelines and regulations with respect to a proposed major service reduction, a thirty (30) day public comment period must be noticed in a newspaper of general circulation in the urbanized area prior to the proposed Public Hearing date of September 7, 2026. The City will also post public notices on buses, on the City website, and on its various social media channels. Staff will receive comments and feedback in person, via telephone, online response and email, which will be reported to the Council at the Public Hearing on September 7th should it be scheduled.

Background Discussion:

Transit Route 17 was established in October 2021 to provide transportation access within the growing Visalia Industrial Park to support the increasing number of jobs within the Industrial Park, most notably the opening of the Amazon Fulfillment Center (FAT2) also in October 2021. As a new transit service, Route 17 was eligible for federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program grant funding to support implementation, which the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) provided $1,385,983 to primarily support the first two (2) years of the new route’s operation with a City match of $179,569 from Local Transportation Funds (LTF).

The following table provides a breakdown of the hourly and mileage costs of Route 17 since its implementation in October 2021, which does not include City overhead costs:

Hours Miles Total
FY 21 $86,717.74 $33,710.10 $120,427.84
FY 22 $364,000.21 $139,492.62 $503,492.83
FY 23 $334,555.08 $130,359.36 $464,914.44
FY 24 $460,042.94 $151,786.95 $611,829.89
FY 25 $634,614.09 $148,914.82 $783,528.91
FY 26* $648,855.89 $153,912.57 $802,738.46
*estimate TOTAL $3,286,932.37
As shown in the table above, the hours and miles cost of Route 17 since its implementation is estimated at $3,286,932. As previously mentioned, federal CMAQ grant funding provided $1,385,983 in initial financial support (with City match funding of $179,569), with the City subsequently expending $1,721,380 in federal transit and local transportation funds following the exhaustion of the CMAQ grant funding.

The ridership on Route 17 provided in the attached exhibit is exceedingly low, making it an inefficient route to operate when compared to its expense and passengers served.

Given Route 17 includes approximately 11,000 revenue hours per year, the hourly ridership reported in the table above reflects approximately 0.30 riders per hour, which the City historically has used five (5) riders per hour as its metric for route ridership performance. For comparison, the next lowest route ridership performance is Route 16 at approximately two (2) riders per hour and Route 7 at three (3) riders per hour, and the highest route ridership performance being Route 1 at ten (10) riders per hour.

In late May and early June of 2026, Transit Division staff attempted to conduct onboard rider surveys to understand more about Route 17 and its passengers. The purpose of this assessment was to evaluate the effectiveness of Route 17 in serving the Industrial Park and to determine whether the route continues to meet the transportation needs of that segment of the community.

Observations and Findings
Recent ridership data indicates that Route 17 consistently experiences exceedingly low passenger activity. Through multiple observations conducted along the route, buses were frequently operating with no passengers on board for most of the service period. To better understand rider needs and travel patterns, staff attempted to conduct onboard surveys. During the observation period, only one (1) passenger utilized the route.

In addition to the limited survey participation, field observations revealed that Route 17 is often traveling through its service area without carrying passengers. This trend has remained consistent with ridership data collected over time.

File #: 26-0041 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 1.

Current ridership levels suggest that the service is not being utilized as intended. It is likely that the workforce within the service area have found alternative transportation options, such as personal vehicles, carpooling arrangements, or rideshare services with 195 rides on Visalia Connect microtransit service to or from the Amazon facility specifically within the last year. Additionally, the route's service frequency and scheduled times may not align with the transportation needs of employees working within the industrial area, further contributing to low utilization.

Based on ridership data, direct field observations, and the limited rider feedback obtained, Route 17 is not effectively serving the community or generating sufficient demand to justify continued operation. The consistently low ridership indicates that the transportation needs within the service area are being met through alternative means. As a result, discontinuation of Route 17 is being proposed, with resources potentially reallocated to services demonstrating higher demand and greater community benefit.

Proposed Timeline
Public comment period opening: July 20, 2026
Public comment period closed: August 21, 2026
City Council Public Hearing: September 7, 2026
Route 17 elimination October 1, 2026
Transit Division staff is currently beginning its next Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) “Reimagine Study”. The SRTP is a guiding document that is federally required and updated every five (5) years to help steer the transit agency, evaluating and positioning the Visalia Transit system for efficient and effective service over the next five (5) years. Staff began working with a consultant firm (Jarret Walker & Associates) in Spring 2026 with the final anticipated delivery of the Reimagine Study in Spring 2027. Additionally, the City is coordinating with TCAG and the Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE) in the development of a transit hub at the TCOE Doe Complex site in the Industrial Park as a part of the planned Cross Valley Corridor express bus service between Visalia and Hanford.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

Route 17 is currently not being funded by any specific grant funds and is therefore being supported by the Transit Division operating budget which is comprised of a mixture of federal transit and local transportation funds.

Prior Council Action: N/A
Alternatives:

Council could direct staff to continue with the operation of Route 17 until the SRTP Reimagine Study is completed in the Spring 2027.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to authorize staff to open a 30-day public comment period to receive feedback on the proposed elimination of Transit Fixed Route 17 that services the Visalia Industrial Park and schedule a Public Hearing for the City Council meeting of September 7, 2026, for Council determination.

City Department Fourth of July post report - Receive a report summarizing the 2026 activities related to community engagement and public safety.

Prepared by: Fire Marshal Corbin Reed, [email protected] 559-731-4272; Fire Chief Dan Griswold, [email protected] 559-713-4220; Recreation Manager Laurissa Roggenkamp, [email protected] 559-713-4336, John Lollis Assistant City Manager, [email protected] 559-713-4323
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends Council receive the 2026 Fourth of July presentation related to community engagement and public safety. Presentation includes legal fireworks activities, illegal fireworks enforcement detail, and the third annual Independence Spectacular.

Summary:

Staff from the Fire and Parks and Recreation Departments will provide a review of legal firework stands and illegal fireworks enforcement efforts performed by the Visalia Fire and Police Departments. Additionally, staff from the Recreation Division will report on the 3rd Annual Independence Spectacular, and the Convention Center will highlight the special display in the courtyard that celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Background Discussion:

Fire Department:

Beginning on June 29th, non-profit organizations were allowed to start selling safe and sane fireworks from approved fireworks booths. The number of approved fireworks booths is controlled by ordinance and is population based. The City permits one firework booth per every 5,000 residents. A total of 27 booths were set up in Visalia. Once each booth has been inspected by Fire Prevention staff, they are provided with a permit to begin operating. The permit is valid until midnight on July 4th.

A call center was operational again this year from within the Visalia Emergency Communications Center (VECC) and was staffed with 10 city employees. The call center relieves the burden for dispatch by receiving calls for illegal fireworks that otherwise would be addressed by the dispatch center. This year, the call center operated on July 3rd and 4th. The call center allows community members to report illegal fireworks use to actual people, ensuring their concern is heard.

Calls specific to illegal fireworks use continue to decline. Calls for complaints in 2026 were lower than any previously tracked year, although there were pockets of the community that still had prevalent use of illegal fireworks. To date, calls for illegal fireworks use have dropped by 119 calls compared to Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/16/2026

File #: 26-0060 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 2.
2025.

Patrols began on June 27th and continued on designated days through July 4th with the heaviest saturation of patrols on July 4th. Each detail unit was comprised of a Visalia Police Department officer along with a Visalia Fire Department staff member. A total of 67 citations are being processed.

Citations were primarily issued on the 4th of July, however some citations were also issued prior to and after completion of the illegal fireworks detail.

Beyond the joint illegal fireworks detail, the third and fourth of July proved to be an active period for the Fire Department with 103 calls for service over the two days. Calls for service were primarily for medical aids, structure fires, grass fires, dumpster/trash can fires, and vehicle fires. The Fire Department had additional staffing in place to manage the increased demand.

Lastly, and per Council’s request, the Fire Department is currently performing a review of the City’s ordinance relating to illegal fireworks and will return with illegal fireworks fine options for council to consider.

Recreation Division:

On Friday, July 3rd, the City of Visalia’s Recreation Division proudly hosted the 3rd Annual Independence Spectacular at Riverway Sports Park, drawing an estimated 15,000 attendees-an increase of 5,000 from the previous year. Running from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the event brought the community together for an evening of celebration featuring live music curated and promoted by Momentum Broadcasting, festive stage enhancements provided by Bueno Beverage, and a free Kids Zone supported by the Visalia Unified School District, Amplify, and Recreation staff.

More than 40 food vendors offered a diverse array of options, while additional partners played essential roles in delivering a seamless guest experience: United Rentals supplied critical behind-thescenes infrastructure, American Ambulance staffed on-site medical services, and the Visalia Community Enhancement Foundation operated the beer garden. Together, these sponsors and partners helped create a safe, welcoming, and memorable celebration that has quickly become one of Visalia’s premier community traditions, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.

Convention Center:

In celebration of America’s Semi-quincentennial (250th) on July 4th, the Visalia Convention Center implemented decorative enhancements to the Plaza Courtyard and facility frontage to showcase and promote the community’s patriotic spirit. Special banners were purchased and installed on the Courtyard light poles.. These will remain in place for now and are planned to be replaced with holiday -themed banners throughout the year.

Additionally, programmable decorative tree lighting was installed.This feature provides an attractive and engaging experience for visitors and will remain operational through February 2027, allowing staff to adjust the lighting in support of upcoming holidays and major Convention Center events. The Convention Center may also purchase the lighting system using funds approved in this fiscal year’s CIP budget.

Exterior facility lighting was modified to display red, white, and blue to complement the tree lighting, Visalia City Council Page 2 of 3 Printed on 7/16/2026

creating a dynamic and cohesive patriotic presentation throughout the property. As an added benefit, these improvements were completed in advance of the American Legion’s 2026 Department of California Convention (June 25-28) and were extremely well received by both event organizers and attendees. Community members have also begun visiting the Convention Center to take photos with the enhanced décor as a backdrop.

Ordinance Adoption - Second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2026-04 pertaining to the approval of Change of Zone No. 2025-03: A request by the City of Visalia to change the zoning designation on a 21-acre parcel from QP (Quasi-Public) to CMU (Commercial Mixed Use). The site is located on the northwest corner of Akers Street and Riggin Avenue, within the City limits of Visalia (APN: 077-100-103).

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by: Brandon Smith, Principal Planner, [email protected], (559) 713-4636; Paul Bernal, Planning and Community Preservation Director, [email protected], (559) 713- 4025 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the second reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 for Zoning Text Amendment No. 2025-03, to change the zoning designation on a 21-acre parcel from QP (Quasi-Public) to CMU (Commercial Mixed Use). The site is located on the northwest corner of Akers Street and Riggin Avenue.

Summary:

On June 15, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing for:
· General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02: A request by the City of Visalia to change the land use designation on a 21-acre parcel from Parks/Recreation to Commercial Mixed Use. · First Reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 to adopt Change of Zone No. 2025-03: A request by the City of Visalia to change the zoning designation on a 21-acre parcel from QP (Quasi-Public) to CMU (Commercial Mixed Use).

After closing the public hearing, the City Council voted 4-1 (Councilperson Taylor, absent) to approve General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02, and to conduct the First Reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 for Change of Zone No. 2025-03.

The second reading of the Ordinance is the final action the City Council takes in order for Change of Zone No. 2025-03 to take effect. Following the second reading and Council adoption, the ordinance will go into effect 30 days following adoption of the second reading.

Background Discussion:

General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02 and Change of Zone No. 2025-03 together are a request by the City of Visalia to change the general plan land use and zoning designations on a 21-acre parcel from Parks/Recreation land use (QP zone) to Commercial Mixed Use (C-MU zone). The 21-acre parcel is an undeveloped parcel located on the northwest corner of North Akers Street and West Riggin Avenue (see aerial map in Attachment 3).

The proposed project only changes the land use and zoning designations associated with the parcel.

No specific development is being proposed or is planned in correlation with the General Plan Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/14/2026
powered by Legistar™ 38
File #: 26-0038 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 2.

Amendment / Change of Zone.

The reclassification of land use and zoning designations toward a commercial designation was based upon the recommendation of the City Council upon the conclusion of four work session discussions held between January 16, 2020 and August 19, 2024. The site has always held the general plan land use and zoning designation of Parks/Recreation / QP zone since the property’s annexation in 2010.

Visalia Unified School District sold the site to the City of Visalia in 2014 and has retained property to the north for development of a middle school and future high school. Visalia’s General Plan, adopted in 2014, illustrates this site in a Parks/Facilities Map as a potential location for a new community park serving the northwest quadrant. General Plan Policy PSCU-P-5 more explicitly calls for the creation of a new community park to be built in and to serve the northwest quadrant.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The Change of Zone action will have no impact to the city. Regarding the sale of the site, since the City purchased the site using Park Impact Fees, any portion of land that will be sold for non-park use will require payment back to the park impact fee program.

Prior Council Action:

On June 15, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing for:
· General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02: A request by the City of Visalia to change the land use designation on a 21-acre parcel from Parks/Recreation to Commercial Mixed Use. · First Reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 to adopt Change of Zone No. 2025-03: A request by the City of Visalia to change the zoning designation on a 21-acre parcel from QP (Quasi-Public) to CMU (Commercial Mixed Use).

After closing the public hearing, the City Council voted 4-1 (Taylor, absent) to approve General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02, and to conduct the First Reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 for Change of Zone No. 2025-03.

Planning Commission Review and Action:

The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on June 8, 2026, to consider General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02 and Change of Zone No. 2025-03, changing the entire 21 acres to the Commercial Mixed Use designation. Planning Commissioners made a motion for each individual entitlement, and each item passed on a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Norman, absent).

Alternatives: None.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to adopt the second reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 for Change of Zone No. 2025-03.

Environmental Assessment Status: An Initial Study and Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project. This environmental review was prepared for the proposed General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone only and does not consider any environmental impacts regarding any future development, as such development would also be subject to separate environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) once details of the development are known. The City Council adopted the Initial Study / Negative Declaration together with the adoption of the General Plan Amendment and first reading of the Change of Zone.

WHEREAS, City staff has revised the application for Change of Zone No. 2025- 03 to reflect a change of designation on the entire 21-acre parcel, and has prepared a corresponding Initial Study and Negative Declaration in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Visalia, after duly published notice, held a public hearing before said Commission on June 8, 2026; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Visalia considered the Change of Zone in accordance with Section 17.44.070 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Visalia based on evidence contained in the staff report and testimony presented at the public hearing, and recommended approval of said Change of Zone; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Visalia adopted Resolution No. 2026-31 recommending approval of Change of Zone No. 2025-03; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Visalia, following a period of ten (10) days after published notice, held a public hearing and 1st Reading for Change of Zone No. 2025-03 on June 15, 2026, and a 2nd Reading for Change of Zone No. 2025-03 on July 20, 2026 .

Department Recommendation:

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following actions, consistent Visalia City Council Page 1 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026
powered by Legistar™ 44
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following actions, consistent with the staff recommendation made to Planning Commission on June 8, 2026:
1) Adopt Initial Study / Negative Declaration No. 2026-14 (Resolution No. 2026-37 required); 2) Approve General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02 (Resolution No. 2026-38 required); and, 3) Conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04 to adopt Change of Zone No. 2025-03.

If approved by the City Council, staff will bring back the second reading of Ordinance No. 2026-04, at the July 20, 2026, City Council meeting.

The entitlements are supported by both the Planning Commission and staff based on the project’s consistency with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the entitlements are consistent with the recommendation of the City Council during the public hearing item held on September 2, 2025, where Council favored the entire 21-acre site being designated for Commercial Mixed Use, rather than the previous concept to change 16 acres out of the 21-acre parcel toward Commercial Mixed Use and retain 5 acres on the northwest portion of the parcels for potential park use. Additional information regarding park plans in the northwest quadrant has been provided in the report below and illustrated in the map included as Attachment 5.

Summary:

General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02 and Change of Zone No. 2025-03 together are a request by the City of Visalia to change the general plan land use and zoning designations on a 21-acre parcel from Parks/Recreation land use (QP zone) to Commercial Mixed Use (C-MU zone), as shown in the exhibit to each entitlement’s respective resolution. The 21-acre parcel is an undeveloped parcel located on the northwest corner of North Akers Street and West Riggin Avenue (see aerial map in Attachment 11).

The proposed project only changes the land use and zoning designations associated with the parcel.

No specific development is being proposed or is planned in correlation with the General Plan Amendment / Change of Zone.

The reclassification of land use and zoning designations toward a commercial designation was based upon the recommendation of the City Council upon the conclusion of four work session discussions held between January 16, 2020 and August 19, 2024. The site has always held the general plan land use and zoning designation of Parks/Recreation / QP zone since the property’s annexation in 2010.

Visalia Unified School District sold the site to the City of Visalia in 2014 and has retained property to the north for development of a middle school and future high school. Visalia’s General Plan, adopted in 2014, illustrates this site in a Parks/Facilities Map as a potential location for a new community park serving the northwest quadrant (see Attachment 1). General Plan Policy PSCU-P-5 more explicitly calls for the creation of a new community park to be built in and to serve the northwest quadrant.

Background Discussion:

Over the course of the four work sessions held to discuss land uses on the site, City staff suggested that the City-owned property at Akers & Riggin may be better suited for a land use other than Parks/Recreation given its location at a major intersection, with speculation towards a commercial designation. The potential change is further supported by Land Use Policy LU-P-6, which states, “Strive for a balanced mix of local, regional, and national retailers that offer a diversity of Visalia City Council Page 2 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026
powered by Legistar™ 45
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
“Strive for a balanced mix of local, regional, and national retailers that offer a diversity of product and pricing choices, and undertake strategic initiatives to attract new retail development. Initiatives could include: Promote catalyst projects at key locations to stimulate private investment; Encourage quality retail and restaurant uses to locate where “multiplier effects” are most likely; Build on synergies that could occur between complementary businesses.”
The redesignation of the site to facilitate mixed use commercial development provides a range of opportunities to serve both existing and future residents. Between the times that the four work sessions were held, the Carleton Acres Specific Plan was drafted and adopted in 2023, solidifying a new commercial land use designation further to the west.

The City Council’s direction to staff from the last work session meeting was to also prepare and release a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit potential land developers to submit design proposals for this site, and to hold a future meeting to discuss design stipulations and use limitations on the site.

However, prior to the preparation of a RFP, the City must declare the property as Surplus Land in order to take action of selling the property.

In 2025, staff prepared an environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statute & Guidelines and brought a GPA and COZ request to the Planning Commission and City Council to change a 16-acre portion of the parcel, consistent with the Council’s direction from the 2024 work session item.

At the City Council public hearing held on September 2, 2025, the Council recommended, on a 5-0 vote, to refer the matter back to staff to designate the entire 21 acres as Commercial Mixed Use (rather than only a 16-acre portion), and to direct staff to prepare the appropriate analysis and the appropriate CEQA documentation.

The City Council further recommended that that staff return with a park plan for the northwest quadrant prior to further discussion of the rezoning at a future meeting. Under the new GPA/COZ proposal, a community park could still be developed on a different site in the northwest quadrant.

In addition, the Parks and Recreation Department has hired PROS Consulting of Brownsburg, Inc. to prepare the Visalia Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Needs Assessment and Park Impact Fee Study. Although this study is underway, the consultant is aware of the potential land use redesignation of this 21-acre site.

Surrounding Uses:

To the north, on the north side of the Sedona Avenue alignment, a 103-acre parcel owned by Visalia Unified School District (VUSD) contains Ridgeview Middle School and land that was planned for a future high school campus.

To the west of the city-owned site is a 29-acre parcel that is owned by a private entity and is zoned for high-density multi-family residential use. This parcel has been incorporated into the Carleton Acres Specific Plan. On April 27, 2026, Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-16 was approved for a 442- unit development on this site, at a density of 15 units / acre consistent with R-M-3 zone standards.

The surrounding area beyond the VUSD parcel is currently seeing a steady amount of growth and interest in future development planning. To the east, the 219-unit Ritchie Reserve Apartments were completed within the last year, and the 320-lot small-lot single family residential subdivision Ritchie Ranch was approved on August 25, 2025. To the west and northwest, the Carleton Acres Specific Plan was approved in 2023 for the long-term buildout of approximately 3,200 dwelling units.

File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
Commercial development the Carleton Acres consists of a 29-acre site anchored by Costco Wholesale at the northeast corner of Shirk & Riggin and a future neighborhood commercial designation at the southwest corner of Akers Street & Avenue 320 (see illustration in Attachment 1:

Figure 1 and Figure 2).

General Plan Consistency - Community Park Designation:

General Plan Policy PSCU-P-5 calls for the creation of a new community park to be built in and to serve the northwest quadrant. The policy generally states that the park shall be in the northwest, and the facility map shown as Figure 3 identifies the 21-acre site as the potential location of the community park (see illustration in Attachment 1: Figure 3). A map illustrating all developed and undeveloped / designated park sites in the northwest is included as Attachment 5.

Policy PSCU-P-5 further states that community parks shall be 5 to 12 acres in size or more, and are intended to include resources beyond those found at neighborhood parks, such as a community center building, reserved picnic facilities, tennis courts, aquatic center, and/or outdoor concert area.

A community park would fill a void that currently exists for this type of facility that would be comparable to Recreation Park / Anthony Community Center or Whitendale Park / Community Center. The General Plan notes that the northwest quadrant currently lacks a community center building, and Policy PSCU-P-16 calls to provide at least one community center in each of the City’s four neighborhood quadrants.

The community park would be different from Riverway Sports Park, located 2.5 miles to the east. The 83-acre Riverway Sports Park is considered a “large city park” that serves the greater Visalia area and contains several playing fields; however, it contains no community center or multi-use courts.

The community park would also be larger in scale than neighborhood parks found throughout the City - the closest being Lions and Soroptimist Parks located one mile southwest or southeast from the site.

The current size of the project site, at 21 acres, is significantly larger than the policy guideline of “5 to 12 acres or more” for community parks.

Alternate Community Park Sites
Within the City’s northwest quadrant, there are four other undeveloped Park land use designations that could facilitate the northwest quadrant’s community park based on their acreage, described as follows and labeled in Attachment 1: Figure 3 above:

1. 15 acres near the northeast corner of Demaree Street & Pratt Avenue.

There is a potential opportunity for the City to purchase the Demaree & Pratt land based on early preliminary discussions with a property owner in that area seeking to develop their property that has a park land use designation of equivalent acreage.

2. 10 acres fronting the future Riverway Avenue extension north of Modoc Basin.

There have been no discussions with this property owner, who also owns other adjacent property to the west, south, and southeast. Development in this area has been progressing at an increasing rate. Site access would require construction of at least two of the following roadways: Shannon Parkway westerly from Demaree Street; Shannon Parkway easterly from Akers Street; Linwood Street northly from Riggin Avenue.

3. 7 acres fronting the future Hurley Avenue extension west of Shirk Street, east of Road 88 Visalia City Council Page 4 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026
powered by Legistar™ 47
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
(Clancy Street).

There have been no discussions with this property owner. Development and site access would require the assembly of multiple properties. Site access would require construction of Hurley Avenue between Shirk Street and Road 88 (Clancey Street).

4. 5 acres near the northeast corner of Mooney Blvd. & Riverway Avenue.

There have been no discussions with this property owner. While this would be a potential site, its proximity to Riverway Sports Park might make it a less desirable choice.

It should be noted that the conceptual use plan for Carleton Acres calls for parks to be scattered throughout the development, though none are classified as neighborhood or community parks over two acres in size. This is intentional since the General Plan did not designate any land use designations for parks on the Carleton Acres site. The Parks and Recreation Department does not anticipate purchasing any land in the Carleton Acres neighborhood bound by Shirk, Akers, and Avenue 320.

In addition, the future high school site north and west of Ridgeview Middle School is currently not budgeted for completion and its future as a high school site is uncertain. Thus, there may be potential that this property could be reconsidered for alternate uses, including a park site.

Attachment 6 illustrates non-residential land use designations in the surrounding vicinity.

General Plan Consistency: Land Use Element/General Plan/Zoning:

Land Use Policy LU-P-66 states that the Commercial Mixed Use land use designation allows for either horizontal or vertical mixed use development and a range of commercial, service, office, and residential uses. Commercial uses must be allowed for in a development, while residential uses may or may not be part of a development. The Zoning Ordinance further states, in Section 17.19.010, that the mixed use commercial zone district may permit development at both at key activity nodes and along corridors. There is no further locational criteria regarding Commercial Mixed Use elsewhere in the City.

Among Visalia’s commercial designations (i.e. Regional Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial), Commercial Mixed Use zone provides the largest amount of flexibility for a commercial-oriented designation in terms of uses, size, and placement. The northwest area is not significantly underserved with retail uses at this time; however, the nearest existing shopping areas from the intersection are located at Demaree / Riggin (Lowes / Village at Willow Creek), Akers / Goshen (Save Mart / Key West Center), and Shirk / Riggin (Carleton Acres / Costco), all of which are one mile away.

The project site has the potential to be served by multiple single-family and multi-family residential uses and major school facilities that are all adjacent to the site and would be accessed from the adjacent arterial/arterial intersection. Vacant land to the west is slated for the inclusion of an off-street bike/pedestrian trail linking the City site to the rest of the Carleton Acres development.

A larger Commercial Mixed Use designation (10+ acres) could facilitate a shopping center consisting of a variety of retail, service, and professional spaces, and may be anchored by a supermarket, warehouse supermarket, or home improvement store.

The C-MU designation provides for the widest range of possible non-residential land use alternatives:
commercial, retail, restaurant, professional and medical office uses, or residential as a stand-alone or mixed use. A full summary of all allowed land uses (permitted and conditionally permitted) in the CVisalia City Council Page 5 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026 powered by Legistar™ 48
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
mixed use. A full summary of all allowed land uses (permitted and conditionally permitted) in the CMU zone is provided in Attachment 7.

Potential Design Considerations and Future Request for Proposal (RFP) Process:

If the City Council approves the proposed GPA / COZ, staff intends to prepare and circulate a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit potential land developers to submit design proposals for this site that demonstrate the Council’s desire to have a superior development design and layout for this site. The RFP process would spell out expectations of the development to embody a well-designed and attractive development with a high likelihood of success that will be compatible with and serve the school population as well as the surrounding existing and future neighborhoods. The RFP would address the developer’s responsibility to process the necessary Planning entitlement applications (if applicable) and CEQA environmental analysis for the alternative land use.

Staff’s expectation is that a future City Council work session will be held to discuss the potential design requirements and land use limitations or stipulations that would apply to the site to ensure a superior development that aligns with Council’s vision. This work session would be necessary to finalize the RFP’s scope and content prior to its release. Upon successful completion of the RFP process, staff could then present the submittals to Council for their selection on the best design proposal submittal.

Public Hearing & Review held by Planning Commission:

The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on June 8, 2026, to consider General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02 and Change of Zone No. 2025-03, changing the entire 21 acres to the Commercial Mixed Use designation. The affiliated staff report is provided as Attachment 9.

During the public hearing, no members of the public spoke regarding the item.

Planning Commissioners made a motion for each individual entitlement, and each item passed on a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Norman, absent). Commissioner Beatie, who previously recommended against the recommendation in 2025 towards 16 acres of CMU and 5 acres of Park designation, recommended in favor after staff responded to her inquiries about the ongoing status of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. (To date, the master planning effort has included online surveys, interactive mapping tools, and public engagement events offering in April and May 2026.) Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone actions will have no impact to the city. Regarding the sale of the site, since the City purchased the site using Park Impact Fees, any portion of land that will be sold for non-park use will require payment back to the Park Impact fee program.

Prior Council Action:
· On January 16, 2020, at a Joint City Council-Planning Commission meeting, in the context of land use planning around VUSD’s future high school site, the Council directed staff to proceed with a recommended motion to research and present back for Council consideration of potential land use and zoning designations to the 21-acre parcel. · On June 7, 2021, the City Council met to discuss and seek direction on potential changes to the zoning and General plan designation on the subject site. Council favored the Commercial Mixed Use zone as a preferred land use / zone district alternative, but tabled taking any action on the item so that staff could prepare a list of allowed uses in the Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zone and to consider park opportunities in the Carleton Acres Specific Plan area, which Visalia City Council Page 6 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026
powered by Legistar™ 49
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
(CMU) zone and to consider park opportunities in the Carleton Acres Specific Plan area, which would be later adopted in 2023.
· On August 19, 2024, the City Council confirmed the type and amount of the alternative land use and zoning for the subject site, and further directed staff to prepare and release a RFP for the solicitation of design proposals for the site. Council further directed staff to return to discuss the specific design, land uses, and limitations on the property. · On September 2, 2025, the Council held a public hearing for GPA No. 2025-02 and COZ No. 2025-03 wherein the request was to change the land use designation on only a 16-acre portion of the 21-acre parcel from a Park designation to a Commercial Mixed Use designation.

The Council recommended to refer the matter back to staff to designate the entire 21 acres as Commercial Mixed Use, to direct staff to prepare the appropriate analysis and the appropriate CEQA documentation, and to return with a park plan for the northwest quadrant prior to further discussion of the rezoning at a future meeting.

Alternatives:

The City Council may, in lieu of the recommended motion specified above, consider any of the following alternatives:

1. After opening and closing the public hearing, if the Council seeks additional information, continue the agenda item to a City Council meeting on a specified date.

2. If Council is considering a different amount of Commercial Mixed Use land use and zoning designation acreage, refer the item with revisions back to the Planning Commission.

3. Deny the entitlements.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to approve Resolution No. 2026-37 to adopt Initial Study / Negative Declaration No. 2026-14; and,
I move to approve Resolution No. 2026-38, to approve General Plan Amendment No. 2025-02; and, I move to conduct the first reading of the approval of Ordinance No. 2026-04 to adopt Change of Zone No. 2025-03.

Environmental Assessment Status & CEQA Review:

An Initial Study and Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project. This environmental review was prepared for the proposed General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone only and does not consider any environmental impacts regarding any future development, as such development would also be subject to separate environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) once details of the development are known.

Initial Study and Negative Declaration No. 2026-14 (see Attachment 10), prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines, disclosed that environmental impacts are determined to be not significant. Staff concludes that Initial Study and Negative Declaration No. 2025-28 adequately analyzes and addresses the proposed project and concludes that environmental impacts related to this project will be at a level that is less than significant.

During the public comment period for the Negative Declaration, one comment letter was received by the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (see Attachment 8). The letter recommends that in instances where land is proposed to be rezoned to residential use, that the lead agency shall identify Visalia City Council Page 7 of 8 Printed on 6/15/2026
powered by Legistar™ 50
File #: 25-0849, Version: 1
instances where land is proposed to be rezoned to residential use, that the lead agency shall identify certain pesticide materials as described in the letter, which would determine if any remedial action is needed to bring levels below thresholds. Since no activity is proposed on the site and since no residential uses are being considered, no mitigation is necessary in response to the letter.

Agenda Item Wording:

Record final map- Request authorization to record the final map for Belissa Phase 2 subdivision located at the northwest corner of North Demaree Street and West Pratt Avenue (108 lots); and the annexation of Belissa - Phase 2 into the Landscape and Lighting District No. 25-09 “Belissa” (Resolution Nos. 2026-51 and 2026-52 required).

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by:

Edelma Gonzalez, Associate Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4364 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Department Director, [email protected] , (559) 713 -4495
Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the recordation of the final map for Belissa Phase 2 subdivision, located at the northwest corner of North Demaree Street and West Pratt Avenue (108 lots). Staff also recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-51 initiating proceedings for the annexation to the Landscape and Lighting District No. 25-09 “Belissa” and adopt Resolution No. 2026-52 ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for Assessment District No. 25-09, “Belissa”.

Summary:

The final map Belissa Phase 2 subdivision will subdivide 14.42 -acre parcel into 108 single-family residential lots. Lots “O” and Lot “Q” will be dedicated to the city as pocket parks totaling approximately 1-acre and are to be maintained by the maintenance district formed with the subdivision. The proposed single-family subdivision will be accessible from Demaree St, Riverway Ave, and Chinowth St and serviced by the interior local public streets with full improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, and other public utility infrastructure (i.e., sewer lines, storm drainage, water, and dry utilities). Public right-of-way improvements on Demaree St were installed with the first phase of the Belissa subdivision.

The final map is ready for recording. All bonds, cash payments, subdivision agreement, and final map have been submitted by the developer, Trumark Homes, as follows: 1) An executed subdivision agreement; 2) a faithful performance bond in the amount of $4,405,655.77; 3) a labor and materials bond in the amount of $2,202,832.88; 4) a cash payment of $651,910.16 distributed to various accounts to cover City fees; and 5) final map. All required items have been submitted and approved by the city prior to the final map being executed and recorded.

The Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-09 was previously reviewed and approved as to form by the Landscape and Lighting District Committee including future annexation into the district. All new will strictly adhere to the Model Water Efficiency Landscaping Ordinance (MWELO).

File #: 25-0828 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 3.

MWELO increases water efficiency standards for new landscapes through use of more efficient irrigation systems, inclusion of drought tolerant plants 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 annexed assessment districts under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, and now under Proposition 218, in lieu of using homeowner’s 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 including annual maintenance and operating costs: The remaining 108 lots will start contributing to the landscape and lighting assessment district (L&LD 25-09) created for maintenance of common features related to this subdivision. The annual lot assessment will be Visalia City Council Page 2 of 4 Printed on 7/15/2026

File #: 25-0828 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 3.

78 Exhibit “D”
Engineer’s Report
Assessment District No. 25-09, City of Visalia, Tulare County, California Belissa
Fiscal Year 2026/27
General Description
This Assessment District (25-09, Belissa) is located at the northwest corner of North Demaree Street and West Pratt Avenue. Exhibit “A” is a map of Assessment District 25-09. This district includes the maintenance of shrub areas, irrigation systems, street trees, landscape trees, block walls, streetlights, pavement on local streets, pocket park, 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 preventative maintenance of all internal local City 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 306, of which 108 will be assessed for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

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, streetlights, 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, streetlights, 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.

Assessment District No. 25-09, City of Visalia, Tulare County, California Belissa
Fiscal Year 2026/27
The quantities, estimated costs, and per lot assessment in the “Belissa” Landscape and Lighting District are as follows:
80 Exhibit “D”
Engineer’s Report
Assessment District No. 25-09, City of Visalia, Tulare County, California Belissa
Fiscal Year 2026/27
Annual Cost Increase
This assessment district shall be subject to an automatic annual increase derived by the following formula:
year “n” assessment = ($230,623.17) (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 $251,379.26 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $230,623.17]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $266,975.15 [ceiling = ($230,623.17) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $251,379.26 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 $260,604.18 [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 $266,975.15 [ceiling = ($230,623.17) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $260,604.18 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 $251,379.26 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $230,623.17] and damage occurred to the masonry wall raising the year five assessment to $306,682.69 [a 22% increase over the previous year assessment]. The year five assessment will be capped at $276,517.18, a 10% increase over the previous year and under the ceiling of $280,323.90 [ceiling = ($230,623.17) (1.05) (5-1)]. The difference of $30,165.51 will be recognized as a deficit and carried over into future years’ assessment.

Declare surplus City property and authorize disposition process - Request for Council to adopt Resolution No. 2026-41, declaring certain real property located on APN 077-100-103 (Akers and Riggin) as surplus property and authorize the property to be made available for purchase proposals and/or development proposals from qualified entities in accordance with California Government Code Section 54220. (Resolution 2026-41 required)
Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by: Devon Jones, Economic Development Manager, [email protected], 559.713.4190, Paul Bernal, Planning and Community Preservation Director, [email protected], 559.713.4025
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -41, declaring certain real property located at Akers and Riggin on APN 077-100-103 as surplus property and authorize the property to be made available for purchase proposals and/or development proposals from qualified entities in accordance with California Government Code Section 54220.

Summary: APN 077-100-103 consists of vacant, undeveloped real property located at the northwest corner of Akers Street and Riggin Avenue (see attached Exhibit 1). The property consists of approximately 20.8 acres that is in process of being rezoned to Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zoning and does not have a current appraised value.

Staff is requesting Council direction to adopt Resolution No. 2026-41, formally declaring this property as surplus in accordance with the Surplus Land Act, so the City may begin the required notification and solicitation process for qualified entities and agencies.

Background Discussion: Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54222, prior to disposing of surplus land, the City must provide written notice of availability to qualified entities, including affordable housing developers, public agencies, and other eligible organizations identified under the Surplus Land Act.

Any qualified entity or association desiring to purchase or lease the property for one of the purposes authorized under Government Code Section 54220 must notify the City in writing of its interest within sixty (60) days from the date of notice. Responses must be submitted either by certified United States mail or electronic mail. Notice of interest shall be delivered to Devon Jones, Economic Development Manager at 315 E. Acequia, Visalia, CA 93291 or [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.

As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the City of Visalia receives more than one letter of interest during this 60 day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop housing Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/14/2026

File #: 25-0851 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 4.
where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households. If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability level. If a proposal is accepted for further consideration, the City will enter into a ninety (90) day good-faith negotiation period with the responding entity to determine the feasibility and terms of a potential sale, lease, or development agreement. The Council may consider a number of matters during the negotiations.

Approval of this action and issuance of the required notice under the Government Code does not constitute a determination by the City that the property is suitable for any specific use identified under Section 54220. Any future land use considerations would be evaluated separately if interest is expressed by an eligible entity.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: None currently Prior Council Action: none
Alternatives: To not proceed with declaring the property as Surplus.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to adopt Resolution No. 2026-41, declaring certain real property located on APN 077-100-103 as surplus property and authorize the property to be made available for purchase proposals and/or development proposals from qualified agencies in accordance with California Government Code Section 54220.

Environmental Assessment Status: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA) City staff has determined that the designation of the Property as non-exempt surplus, approval of the form of Notice of Availability, and authorization for the City Manager to comply with the Act will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and as such is exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).

CEQA Review: Exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).

Authorization to accept the Office of Traffic STEP grant - Authorize the Visalia Police Department to accept the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program grant in the amount of $189,525 awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety, appropriate $39,525 from the General Fund and authorize the Visalia Chief of Police to execute the grant agreement.

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by:

Police Chief Jason Salazar, 559-713-4215, [email protected] Financial Analyst Liz Ybarra, 559-713-4250, [email protected] Police Lieutenant Mike Short, 559-713-4573, [email protected] Police Sergeant Henry Martinez, 559-713-4232, [email protected] Department Recommendation:

Authorize the Visalia Police Department to accept the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) FY 2026-27 grant in the amount of $189,525 awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), appropriate $39,525 from the General Fund, and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the grant.

The grant is effective 10/01/2026 through 09/30/2027.

Summary:

The Visalia Police Department has been awarded the STEP Grant for more than 10 years and has used the funds to enhance its traffic enforcement and educational efforts including but not limited to:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) checkpoints and saturation patrols, distracted driver, motorcycle safety, pedestrian/ bicycle enforcement operations, and several educational presentations. The Grant has also funded equipment and provided the resources necessary to effectively complete DUI enforcement details.

Background Discussion:

With various strategies, traffic safety and DUI enforcement are aggressively targeted through checkpoints, saturation details, traffic enforcement, distracted driving operations, motorcycle details, and traffic safety education. The goal of the STEP grant is to provide support and funding to reduce the number of persons killed or injured in traffic collisions, decrease alcohol-related collisions, increase DUI enforcement efforts, and raise public awareness about the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving. Operations are conducted in areas with disproportionately high numbers of traffic collisions.

During the 2024-25 grant year (10/01/24-09/30/25), the Visalia Police Department investigated three alcohol-related fatal traffic collisions and 32 alcohol-related injury collisions. Overall, the Department responded to nine fatal traffic collisions and 437 injury collisions. Through the STEP grant, the Department received $200,000 in funding, which supported 21 DUI enforcement operations, 25 traffic Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/14/2026
powered by Legistar™ 89
File #: 26-0022 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 5.
safety enforcement operations, and officer training related to DUI detection and enforcement.

During the current 2025-26 grant year (10/1/25-YTD), the Visalia Police Department has investigated one alcohol-related fatal traffic collision and 36 alcohol-related injury collisions. Overall, the Department has responded to six fatal traffic collisions and 370 injury collisions. In the 2025-26 grant year the Department was awarded $190,000 in STEP grant funding, which supports 20 DUI enforcement operations, 25 traffic safety enforcement operations, and continued officer training in DUI detection and enforcement.

For the proposed 2026-27 grant year, the STEP grant will provide funding for six DUI/Driver License Checkpoints, 12 DUI Saturation Patrols, 10 Traffic Enforcement Operations, 10 Distracted Driving Enforcement Operations, one Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation, two Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operations, two Community Collaboration Engagements, and two Collaborative DUI Enforcement Operations. The grant will also provide funding for DUI checkpoint supplies and equipment necessary to support enforcement efforts.

The City of Visalia has experienced a steady increase in drivers and vehicles. This grant funding will provide additional resources to enhance enforcement and educational efforts, ultimately improving roadway safety.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

The STEP grant is budgeted annually and currently has a budget of $150,000 in the Traffic Division 2103. An additional $39,525 in appropriations is required. The General Fund will be reimbursed by the grant.

Prior Council Action: N/A
Alternatives:

Not to authorize the Visalia Police Department to submit the STEP Grant application.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to authorize the Visalia Police Department to accept the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program FY 2026-27 grant in the amount of $189,525 awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety, appropriate $39,525 from the General Fund, and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the grant agreement.

Fire Department personal protective equipment (PPE) contract - Authorize the City Manager to enter a one-year contract with All Star Fire Equipment for structural firefighting turnout gear in an amount not to exceed $120,000 annually, with four additional one-year options to renew.

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by: Dan Griswold, Fire Chief [email protected], 713-4220; Shaun Spradling, Fire Captain [email protected], 713-4239; Cris Balderama, Senior Administrative Analyst [email protected], 713-4513
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter a one-year contract with All Star Fire Equipment Inc. for structural firefighting turnout gear in an amount not to exceed $120,000 annually, with four additional one-year options to renew, for RFB 25-26-20.

Summary:

The City of Visalia issued request for bid (RFB) 25-26-20 for structural firefighting turnout gear. The bid solicitation closed on June 11, 2026, and the City received two responsive bids.

All Star Fire Equipment Inc. submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid at a total cost of $3,819.96 per turnout gear set. The second bid was submitted by MES Service Company, LLC at a total cost of $4,097.60 per turnout gear set. Based on bid pricing, responsiveness, and compliance with bid specifications, staff recommends award of the contract to All Star Fire Equipment Inc.

During Fiscal Year 2025/26, the Fire Department purchased approximately 31 turnout gear sets.

Purchasing thirty-one sets of turnout gear is an abnormally high amount for one year and includes replacements for current personnel and initial gear for new recruits Based on the awarded unit pricing, and anticipated and potential staffing and replacement needs, staff recommends establishing an annual contract authority of up to $120,000. This amount is expected to adequately support turnout gear replacement for existing personnel as well as purchases for future recruit firefighter paramedic academies.

Background Discussion:

The Fire Department provides structural firefighting protective clothing to all suppression personnel.

Structural firefighting turnout gear is a critical component of firefighter safety and is required to meet current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for protection against thermal exposure, moisture intrusion, and other hazards encountered during emergency operations. Turnout gear has a service life of ten years from the date of manufacture. Each firefighter is assigned two sets of gear. The second set is available when gear becomes contaminated, and decontamination is required before further use or when the gear is damaged and requires repair. Each set of turnout Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/16/2026
powered by Legistar™112
File #: 26-0023 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 6.
gear is inspected to NFPA specifications and Cal Osha requirements twice a year by fire department personnel trained in advanced inspection. Repair for turnout gear is required to be completed by an authorized repair facility requiring the gear to be shipped to a company out of the area.

The Department currently utilizes the LION V-Force turnout gear system and solicited bids for the continued purchase of turnout coats and pants to maintain consistency in firefighter safety equipment, training, maintenance, and operational performance. The Department's turnout gear configuration includes standardized features such as the bi-swing coat design, integrated Drag Rescue Device (DRD), magnetic storm flap closures, radio and microphone pocket placement, and collar-to-liner interface system. These components function as a coordinated system and are integrated into firefighter training and emergency operations.

Firefighters frequently operate in zero-visibility environments and rely on muscle memory to locate equipment, deploy rescue devices, and operate closures and interfaces while wearing gloves.

Consistency in turnout gear design helps reduce hesitation during emergency operations, including firefighter rescue and MAYDAY incidents. Additionally, maintaining a standardized turnout gear platform reduces training requirements, supports existing inspection and maintenance procedures, and minimizes long-term lifecycle costs.

The Fire Department previously utilized turnout gear manufactured by another manufacturer and experienced increased repair frequency, component failures, and early retirement of gear. After transitioning to the LION turnout system, the personnel observed improved durability and reduced repair needs while maintaining compatibility with existing operational procedures.

Turnout gear is purchased and issued to newly hired personnel and purchased to replace gear that has reached the end of its service life or if the gear fails advanced inspection due to the condition no longer complying with applicable safety standards. The proposed annual contract will provide the Fire Department with a reliable source for turnout gear purchases when replacements are necessary.

Based on historical purchasing activity, the requested annual contract amount is sufficient to support both existing personnel and future recruit firefighter paramedic hires.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: Funding for turnout gear purchases for existing personnel is included in the Council-approved Fire Department operating budget. Turnout gear purchases for recruit firefighter paramedic positions will be funded through salary savings associated with vacant positions. The proposed contract establishes a not-to-exceed annual purchasing authority of $120,000 for an initial one-year term, with four additional one-year renewal options, for a potential total contract value not to exceed $600,000 over five years.

Prior Council Action: N/A
Alternatives:

1. Authorize the contract as recommended.

2. Reject all bids and direct staff to rebid the project.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to authorize the City Manager to enter a one-year contract with All Star Fire Equipment for structural firefighting turnout gear in an amount not to exceed $120,000 annually, with four additional one-year options to renew.

IV. SCOPE OF SERVICES/REQUIREMENTS
LION V-Force Structural Firefighting Turnout Gear

PURPOSE
The City of Visalia is soliciting bids from qualified vendors to establish an annual contract for the supply of structural firefighting protective clothing consisting of turnout coats and turnout pants for use by the Fire Department.

The City has standardized its protective clothing program on turnout gear manufactured by LION.

Accordingly, the City is requesting LION brand turnout gear that meets or exceeds the specifications described in this solicitation.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorize the City Manager to issue a sole source purchase order to Cummins, Inc. - Authorize the City Manager to issue a sole source purchase order to Cummins, Inc., for the commissioning and startup of the renewable power generation system at the Visalia Water Reclamation Facility, in the amount of $251,757, and the appropriation of $260,000 from Wastewater Fund.

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by:

Rehana Lustyan, Senior Project Manager [email protected] (559) 713-4176 Ben Litwack, Public Works Manager [email protected] (559) 713-4671 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director [email protected] (559) 713-4052 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to issue a sole source purchase order to Cummins, Inc., for the commissioning and startup of the renewable power generation system (RPGS) at the Visalia Water Reclamation Facility, in the amount of $251,757, and the appropriation of $260,000 from Wastewater Fund 431 into CIP CP0323 to fund the commissioning scope.

Summary:

The City of Visalia Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) requires final commissioning and startup of the renewable power generation system (RPGS), which has remained uncommissioned since installation due to SCR retrofit requirements and subsequent vendor scheduling limitations. Because the prior purchase order (P03454) and associated contract (C15051) are closed and cannot be amended, a new sole
‑
source purchase order is required to authorize the Cummins final RPGS commissioning proposal. The original RPGS procurement and installation contract from 2018-2019 included only limited OEM start
‑
up tasks and did not include full commissioning, emissions activation, or the multi ‑
vendor integration now required to bring the system online. No remaining scope or budget exists under any earlier authorization.

This commissioning work must be procured as sole source because Cummins is the only vendor authorized and technically able to perform the integrated OEM commissioning sequence. “Technically able” means Cummins is the OEM responsible for all proprietary controls, emissions ‑
control logic,
SCR ammonia
‑
dosing algorithms, blending
‑
skid integration, protective relay coordination, and utility ‑
compliance startup procedures, none of which can be accessed or configured by third ‑
party vendors.

To complete the commissioning scope, the City will need to appropriate $260,000 from Wastewater Fund 431 into CIP CP0323, which will fund the purchase order amount and associated commissioning

Background Discussion:

RPGS System Overview & Project History
The City of Visalia Water Reclamation Facility possesses a 1-megawatt renewable power generation system (RPGS) fueled by internally produced digester gas. Mechanical installation was completed in 2018; however, delays related to the Southern California Edison interconnect, along with updated regional air regulations from the Air Board required the installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emissions-control system, delaying startup. The RPGS represents a $4.01 million capital investment intended to offset electrical demand, reduce flaring, and improve environmental compliance.

Commissioning Delays & Readiness Timeline
Although the SCR system was installed in 2021, commissioning could not proceed due to digestergas quality deficiencies and prerequisite system issues, which the City resolved between 2023 and 2026. Cummins verified the system as fully commissioned-ready on March 18, 2026. During this period, all prior commissioning attempts were suspended, and no remaining scope or budget existed under earlier authorizations.

Need for a New Sole-Source Purchase Order
The original 2018-19 procurement and installation contract included only limited OEM start ‑
up tasks
such as initial engine start procedures, basic loading tests, preliminary emissions checks, and operator training. These activities did not constitute full system commissioning and excluded SCR activation, blending
‑
skid commissioning, switchgear protection tuning, emissions ‑
compliance testing,
and multi
‑
vendor integration. Because these elements were never part of the original scope, no commissioning authority or funding exists within prior authorizations.

Because the generator, controls, SCR system, blending skid, and switchgear must all be commissioned together under Cummins’ OEM procedures, the remaining work cannot be performed by third
‑
party contractors. “Technically able” means Cummins is the OEM responsible for the generator engine, electronic controls, emissions
‑
control logic, SCR ammonia
‑
dosing algorithms,
blending
‑
skid integration requirements, protective
‑
relay coordination, and utility
‑
compliance startup
procedures. No third party has access to Cummins’ proprietary control software, parameter maps, emissions
‑
tuning logic, load
‑
management sequences, or generator
‑
protection configurations needed
to commission the RPGS safely and in compliance with Air District and utility requirements.

For these reasons, the commissioning effort requires a new sole ‑
source purchase order with
Cummins to complete the integrated OEM startup, tuning, emissions activation, and compliance testing needed to bring the system online.

The commissioning timeline and final pricing from Cummins were not available until after the FY 2026-27 capital budgets were submitted, so no funding was budgeted for commissioning in that fiscal cycle. An appropriation of $260,000 from Wastewater Fund 431 into CP0323 is now required to fund the commissioning scope.

Commissioning Scope & Vendor Activities
For clarity, adder04 (formerly referenced as adder04 Rev5) is now titled “Cummins final RPGS commissioning proposal” and represents the complete, modernized commissioning scope. This Visalia City Council Page 2 of 5 Printed on 7/14/2026
powered by Legistar™184
File #: 26-0046 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 7.
proposal defines all 2026 labor, travel, testing, tuning, and multi-vendor integration tasks required to bring the RPGS into compliance with current regulatory and utility requirements.

The proposal mobilizes four specialty vendors under Cummins, ACS/Preferred, PEECO, Miratech, and Cummins OEM commissioning staff, to complete First Fire, load tuning, blending-skid commissioning, SCR setup and activation, emissions tuning, utility witness testing, and final compliance documentation.

The City conducted technical and financial reconciliation of all prior commission-related purchase orders, including correcting historical pricing discrepancies, confirming 2026-only costs, and validating vendor availability. This work produced the fully reconciled, final not-to-exceed total of $251,757.00.

Catalyst Work & October 2026 Commissioning Schedule
Miratech will load the catalyst blocks, replace dosing-system components, and complete SCR precommissioning during the week of October 5, 2026, ensuring readiness for SCR activation.

Commissioning remains scheduled for October 5-23, 2026, and includes:
• First fire
• Load tuning
• Blending-skid commissioning
• Catalyst loading
• SCR activation
• Emissions tuning
• Utility witness testing
• Final documentation and demobilization
Approval of the new purchase order secures the vendor schedule and allows the RPGS to be commissioned and brought online.

Fiscal Impact:

The amount for the Cummins final RPGS commissioning proposal is $251,757 and will be issued as a sole
‑
source purchase order. Cummins is the only vendor authorized and technically able to perform the integrated OEM commissioning, controls configuration, emissions ‑
tuning, and SCR activation
work required to place the RPGS into compliant operation. “Technically able” means that Cummins alone controls the proprietary engine ECU software, generator parameter maps, emissions ‑
control
logic, SCR dosing algorithms, blending
‑
skid integration protocols, and utility
‑
protection settings
needed to commission the system. To fund the commissioning scope, the City will appropriate $260,000 from Wastewater Fund 431 into CP0323. This appropriation will fund the purchase order and all associated commissioning
‑
related expenses; catalyst block loading and SCR pre
‑
commissioning are included within the existing Miratech cost. All prior RPGS ‑
related expenditures
have been reconciled, and no duplicative costs are included.

Prior Council Action:

July 2015, the City Council authorized the award of a contract for the procurement of the Renewable Power Generation System (RPGS) for the Water Reclamation Facility. The action approved the Visalia City Council Page 3 of 5 Printed on 7/14/2026
powered by Legistar™185
File #: 26-0046 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 7.
purchase and delivery of the 1-megawatt digester-gas-fueled generator set, controls, and associated system components at a cost of approximately $5.8 million. This authorization represents the City’s initial capital investment in the RPGS and is reflected in the project cost ledger under the 2015 equipment purchase.

August 2016, the City Council approved amendments to the construction and engineering contracts supporting the installation of the Renewable Power Generation System as part of the Water Conservation Plant Upgrade program. These amendments authorized additional construction services, integration work, and engineering support related to the RPGS facilities and equipment.

These costs are included within the historic capital expenditures and are reconciled in the project ledger.

May 20, 2019, the City Council authorized the design, engineering, and procurement activities necessary to install a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions control system on the RPGS generator. The authorization included engineering services for SCR design and construction support, as well as the purchase of the SCR equipment itself. The action also approved the transfer of approximately $1 million to establish a dedicated capital project for SCR implementation. These costs are fully reflected in the ledger under the 2019 SCR procurement.

May 3, 2021, the City Council approved the sole-source installation of a new SCR system on the 1- megawatt generator at a cost of approximately $1.15 million, and appropriated an additional $670,000 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund. This action initiated the SCR installation work that remains part of the current commissioning scope. All expenditures associated with this authorization are already captured in the project ledger under the SCR procurement and construction history.

May 6, 2024, the City Council approved a change order in the amount of $196,619 for generator repairs and maintenance performed by Cummins Pacific, and appropriated $200,000 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund. These repairs-implemented as part of the Adder02 scope-were required to restore the RPGS generator to commissioning-ready condition. These expenditures are already reconciled in the project ledger and are not duplicated in the Adder04 cost.

Alternatives:

1. Do Not Approve the Cummins Final RPGS Commissioning Proposal - Not recommended. This would delay startup, prolong flare use, and increase regulatory exposure.

2. Postpone Startup to a Later Year - Not recommended. This risks equipment degradation, vendor scheduling conflicts, and higher future costs.

Rebid Not Included: A rebid is not feasible. No third-party vendor is authorized or qualified to perform the required OEM commissioning sequence, and both the prior contract and purchase order are closed. Only Cummins can provide the integrated commissioning, controls, emissions, and tuning work required for regulatory compliance.

Category Required Clarification Status
Meritech Deduction (Line Item) Explain how the $14,275 deduction to the Meritech SCR line is reflected in the unchanged $302,403 total
Cummins inadvertently included the SCR discount in Revision 1 but did not properly reflect or clearly communicate that adjustment in the subsequent revisions. To address this oversight and align with the original intent, Cummins will provide an additional credit of $14,275. This adjustment will be reflected in Adder 04, Revision 5.

Corrected Total Provide a corrected Adder04 total with a complete line-by-line reconciliation Corrected total is now: $251,757.00 and includes the reconciliation line items.

P02312 SCR Credit —
Cummins Engineering & Onsite
Labor
Reconcile all unperformed Cummins engineering and onsite commissioning labor included in P02312 but never performed or acknowledged in any revision Acknowledged and confirmed the Cummins gen set line reflect only the 2026 rate and mobilizations. A deduct of $36,371 has been included in Adder 04 Rev 5 for the trip in March.

P02312 SCR
Commissioning Credit —
Remaining Scope
Reconcile all remaining unperformed P02312 SCR
commissioning tasks not covered by the Meritech deduction or the Cummins labor row above, including any integration steps, testing steps, functional checks, or commissioning activities
PO2312 has been fully reconciled.

Non-Duplication Confirm Adder04 includes no duplicated scope from P01038, P02312, Adder01, Adder02, or any prior commissioning attempt
Acknowledged. Duplicated scope from P01038 is reconciled with the deduct of $36,371.

Duplicated scope from P02312 is reconciled with the deduct of $14,275. 2026-Only Costs Confirm all Adder04 costs reflect 2026 activities only and include no 2025 cancellation, mobilization, travel, or standby charges Acknowledged and Confirmed the costs listed in Adder04 Rev 5 are exclusively tied to October 2026.

PEECO Line ($111,815) Confirm the entire PEECO total reflects only 2026 mobilizations/rates with no embedded 2025 cost components Acknowledged and confirmed the PEECO total reflects only the 2026 rate and mobilizations.

PEECO Mobilization Breakdown Provide breakdown of labor, travel, per diem, inbound/outbound travel-day billing, and weekend-return policy; confirm whether travel days are billed as full days
PEECO does not provide separate billing for labor, travel, per diem, local commuting, weekend-return travel, or similar expenses associated with this commissioning effort. The pricing provided for the October 2026 commissioning activities is intended to include the anticipated travel and living expenses necessary to support the planned scope of work. As such, these costs have been incorporated into the overall estimate rather than being presented as separate line items.

Travel-day billing for PEECO is addressed in Adder04 Rev 5. As outlined on Page 2 of 5, travel days are billed as one full 8-hour day plus 4 hours of overtime.

Cummins Genset Line ($109,113) Confirm the entire amount reflects only 2026 labor, travel, tuning, and commissioning activities, with no 2025 or
prior-attempt cost components
Acknowledged and confirmed the Cummins gen set line reflect only the 2026 rate and mobilizations.

Duplicated scope from P01038 is reconciled with the deduct of $36,371.

Furthermore, no charges associated with the March commissioning attempt will be billed to the City.

Rate Escalation Identify which vendor rates increased, the basis for the increases, effective dates, and whether escalation is linked to the 2025 cancellation The 2025 pricing was developed based on the information, supplier quotations, resource requirements, and market conditions available at that time. Since then, several cost drivers have changed, including supplier pricing, labor rates, material costs, and resource availability. As a result, the 2026 pricing reflects current market conditions and the actual cost required to execute the remaining scope of work.

The pricing presented is not related to events that occurred in 2025 and does not include costs associated with prior delays or disruptions. In addition, Cummins has provided additional reductions in an effort to minimize the financial impact to the City while still supporting successful project completion.

Site-Not-Ready Clause Confirm this clause will not be applied inconsistently with Cummins’ acknowledgment that the site has been fully ready since March 18, 2026
Barring any significant changes to site conditions or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved, Cummins will continue to recognize the site as ready for commissioning activities. To support project readiness, Cummins will schedule periodic monthly visits to verify equipment condition.

Prior to commissioning, Cummins recommends that the City periodically test and monitor gas quality to ensure it remains within acceptable parameters. This proactive approach will help identify any changes in gas composition that could adversely impact startup, commissioning, or overall system performance.

Vendor Availability Confirm staffing availability for all required dates to avoid vendor-driven delays and cost impacts
Confirmed. All required personnel required to support the commissioning activities in October are scheduled.

Overage Definition Define what constitutes standard troubleshooting versus billable overage, including whether partial-day billing triggers full-day charges Standard troubleshooting consists of the diagnostic and corrective activities included within the contracted commissioning/startup scope. Billable overages would be associated with work outside the contracted scope or additional support required due to factors not attributable to the commissioning efforts.

Based on the current understanding of the remaining work, the revised total in Adder 04 REV 5 is intended to be all-inclusive and should not require any additional overage billing. This assumes no significant changes in project scope or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved. Any overage will be documented, discussed and require approval prior to work beginning.

Overage Documentation Specify documentation required to support any overage charges and whether written City authorization is required before such costs are incurred There is no separate document defining overage charges. Any work identified as outside the agreed-upon scope would be reviewed with the City and require discussion, alignment, and approval prior to commencement. No additional work resulting in incremental charges would be performed without prior authorization.

Travel / Per-Diem Billing Rules Clarify hotel, meals, commute, weekend-return, and travel-day billing policies for October 2026 commissioning
Cummins nor the vendors have separate billing policies for hotel, meals, local commute, weekend-return travel, or travel-day charges associated with this commissioning effort.

The pricing provided for the October 2026 commissioning activities is intended to include the anticipated travel and living expenses necessary to support the planned scope of work. As such, these costs have been incorporated into the overall estimate rather than being presented as separate line items.

Should circumstances arise that require support beyond the agreed-upon commissioning scope, any potential additional costs would be discussed with the City and require review and approval prior to being incurred.

Schedule-Driven Cost Protections Confirm vendor-driven schedule shifts will not create cost impacts to the City Confirmed.

Portable Gas Analyzer Confirm which party is responsible for supplying the portable gas analyzer and identify which commissioning activities require it
Cummins will provide a portable gas analyzer during the commissioning activities scheduled for October 5th23rd. Prior to commissioning, Cummins recommends that the City periodically test and monitor gas quality to ensure it remains within acceptable parameters. This proactive approach will help identify any changes in gas composition that could adversely impact startup, commissioning, or overall system performance.

P01038 Closure Confirm PO P01038 is fully closed with no outstanding claims, invoices, or adjustments
Acknowledged and confirmed.

RPGS Adder04 – Pricing Clarification Summary
(All items requiring written resolution for Council approval, ATC compliance, and non-duplication verification.) 193
Memo
To: Rehana Lustyan, Ben Litwack ,Eric Oates
From: Lise-Ann Davis
Date: 7/1/2026
Re: City of Visalia IGB P#67352 - RPGS Commissioning - Follow-up to Adder04 Rev3 Meeting Dear Rehana,
This memo is being written to address the comments and questions received on 06/18 and previous messages requesting additional information and clarifications regarding the commissioning scheduled for October 2026.

Please review and let us know if anything further is needed.

II. THE PRICING DISCREPANCY IN REV4 — MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE COUNCIL SUBMITTAL Please clarify in writing:
 Whether the $302,403 total is correct, and if so, what was increased elsewhere to offset the $14,275 SCR deduction and why that change was not disclosed in Rev4.  Whether the $302,403 is an error and the correct total after applying the SCR deduction is a different figure.
 A corrected total with a clear line-by-line reconciliation must appear in the final revised Adder04. o Apologies for the confusion. Upon further review, it is clear that the overall sell price of $302,403.00 remained unchanged throughout Revisions 1 through 4. Cummins inadvertently included the SCR discount in Revision 1 but did not accurately reflect or clearly communicate that adjustment in the subsequent revisions.

To address this oversight and align with the original intent, Cummins will provide an additional credit of $14,275. This adjustment will be reflected in Adder 04, Revision 5.

III. SCR CREDIT — BROADER RECONCILIATION STILL REQUIRED The $14,275 Miratech deduction in Rev4 addresses only the Miratech portion of P02312. P02312 was paid in full for $217,122.44 and explicitly included Cummins engineering and onsite commissioning labor in addition to Miratech tuning. Please clarify in writing whether any portion of that Cummins engineering and onsite labor scope is now captured in the Cummins genset commissioning line in Adder04, and if so, how that is being reconciled or credited. To date, only the Miratech portion of the SCR commissioning credit has been reflected in Adder04 Rev4. No reconciliation has yet been provided for the Cummins engineering, onsite commissioning labor, or any other SCR commissioning activities included in P02312 that were paid in full but never performed. A complete reconciliation of all unperformed P02312 scope, not just the Miratech portion, is required for Council review and ATC compliance documentation.
o Cummins acknowledges receipt of the full payment and is providing an additional reduction to Miratech’ s portion due to a lack of clarity in prior communications on our part.

For the Cummins scope, charges are limited to the support required during the October commissioning activities. Any unused time or trips by Cummins that are not required during the anticipated three-week commissioning period will not be billed to the City of Visalia.

Based on the current understanding of the remaining work, the revised total is intended to be allinclusive and should not require any additional change order approvals from the City. This 194
assumes no significant changes in project scope or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved.

IV. ITEMS STILL NEEDED BY JUNE 25
All of the following must be addressed in a single consolidated package. Where Cummins believes an item was addressed in prior correspondence, please incorporate that response directly into the revised Adder04 text or the consolidated written response — email threads cannot serve as the authoritative record for a $302,000 public agency change order.

Pricing and Financial:
 Corrected Adder04 total with written explanation of how the $14,275 SCR deduction is reflected and whether any offsets were made elsewhere.
o Cummins inadvertently included the SCR discount in Revision 1 but did not accurately reflect or clearly communicate that adjustment in the subsequent revisions.

To address this oversight and align with the original intent, Cummins will provide an additional credit of $14,275. This adjustment will be reflected in Adder 04, Revision 5.  Written reconciliation of the full P02312 SCR commissioning scope, specifically the Cummins engineering and onsite labor component.
o Cummins has reviewed the scope associated with P02312 and confirms that any duplicated commissioning scope has been reconciled through the credits identified in Adder04 Rev 5. No charges associated with previously paid and unperformed P02312 commissioning activities are included in the October 2026 pricing.
 Written non-duplication statement confirming Adder04 contains no scope from P01038, P02312, Adder01, Adder02, or any prior commissioning attempts.
o Acknowledged. Duplicated scope from P01038 is reconciled with the deduct of $36,371.

Duplicated scope from P02312 is reconciled with the deduct of $14,275.  Written confirmation that all costs are exclusively tied to the October 2026 effort with no 2025 cancellation, standby, or prior-year charges. Cummins' inline responses indicated sales was looking into this item; no formal written confirmation has been incorporated into Adder04 or provided as a standalone statement.
o Acknowledged and Confirmed the costs listed in Adder04 Rev 5 are exclusively tied to October 2026.
 Written confirmation that the $111,815 PEECO total reflects only 2026 rates and mobilizations with no 2025 cost components embedded anywhere in the line.
o Acknowledged and confirmed the PEECO total reflects only the 2026 rate and mobilizations.  Written confirmation that the $109,113 Cummins genset line reflects only 2026 rates and activities. o Acknowledged and confirmed the Cummins gen set line reflect only the 2026 rate and mobilizations. Duplicated scope from P01038 is reconciled with the deduct of $36,371. o Furthermore, no charges associated with the March commissioning attempt will be billed to the City.
 Written narrative explaining the basis for cost increases from prior estimates, in lieu of internal vendor purchase orders, including which vendor rates changed, the basis for those changes, and whether any rate escalation is linked to the 2025 cancellation event. o The 2025 pricing was developed based on the information, supplier quotations, and market conditions available at that time. Since then, several cost drivers have changed, including supplier pricing, labor rates, material costs, and resource availability. As a result, the 2026 pricing reflects current market conditions and the actual cost required to execute the remaining scope of work. o The pricing presented is not related to events that occurred in 2025 and does not include costs associated with prior delays or disruptions. In addition, Cummins has provided additional reductions in an effort to minimize the financial impact to the City while still supporting successful project completion.
 Written closure of P01038 confirming no invoices, claims, or balances remain outstanding.

Because vendor availability directly affects the potential for schedule compression and daily overage rates, written confirmation of staffing commitments is required to avoid cost exposure associated with vendor-driven delays.
o Cummins confirms that no outstanding invoices, claims, or balances remain associated with P01038.
195
PEECO Mobilization:
 Written confirmation that three separate weekly mobilizations is PEECO's final and best offer and that consolidation is not possible.
o PEECO has confirmed that the current pricing is final despite multiple attempts to negotiate a lower cost. Based on the remaining scope of work, reducing the time allocated on site is not recommended, as doing so could introduce execution risks during commissioning.  Written statement that the three-mobilization structure reflects actual field execution requirements, not standard proposal formatting.
o The mobilization structure is the result of extensive collaboration with the project suppliers. The remaining scope and pricing were carefully evaluated to validate the level of effort required, ensure resources were appropriately allocated, and eliminate any potential duplication of costs associated with previously completed work.
 Written confirmation of whether inbound and outbound travel days are being billed as full days, whether weekend return policies are standard or discretionary, whether any 2025 travel, mobilization, or cancellation costs are embedded in the weekly mobilization totals, and whether any portion of the weekly mobilization charge can be consolidated or reduced. o For the Cummins scope, charges will be applied for actual technician time required on site during commissioning. Any unused technician time will not be billed. o Travel-day billing for PEECO is identified in Adder04 Rev 5 and has already been incorporated into the quoted pricing.

Site Readiness Cost-Shifting Language:
 The Cummins genset section of Rev4 states that if Cummins personnel travel to the site and find it not ready according to the checklist, the customer will be responsible for all costs associated with any siterelated delays, including additional trips. Given that Cummins confirmed full site readiness as of March 18, 2026, and given the documented circumstances of the March 2025 cancellation, the City requests written confirmation that this standard clause will not be applied in a manner inconsistent with Cummins' own prior acknowledgments of site readiness, and that Cummins agrees the site has been confirmed ready since March 18, 2026.
o Acknowledged. Barring any significant changes to site conditions or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved, Cummins will continue to recognize the site as ready for commissioning activities. To support project readiness, Cummins will schedule periodic monthly visits to verify equipment condition.
o Prior to commissioning, Cummins recommends that the City periodically test and monitor gas quality to ensure it remains within acceptable parameters. This proactive approach will help identify any changes in gas composition that could adversely impact startup, commissioning, or overall system performance.

Schedule and ATC:
 Written confirmation that total anticipated un-abated hours are approximately 18 (October 12: 8 hours, October 13: 4 hours, October 14: 4 hours, October 15: 2 hours). o Confirmed.
 Written clarification of utility witness testing requirements, timing, and expected duration. The schedule notes this item as still needing definition. Telstar requires 6 weeks advance notice, which means notice may need to be issued in August.
o Utility testing and compliance with utility requirements are the responsibility of the City. Cummins requests advance notification of all planned testing activities so the appropriate technical resources can be scheduled to support the effort and ensure successful coordination.  Written confirmation that the approximately 8-hour startup notification lead time applies to all vendors. o Confirmed.
 Written confirmation that the contact list in the schedule represents full availability and commitment for October 5–23, not merely contact information. Acknowledge and confirm we are scheduled for oct 5-23 o Confirmed. We are scheduled for commissioning October 5th-23rd.  Written clarification of whether each vendor's daily presence is full-day onsite, partial-day, or remote, and how vendor overlaps will be coordinated. Just list out who will be on site and who will be remote. o Preferred: Two weeks on site
o Cummins: three weeks on site
o Miratech: three weeks on site
o PEECO: 3 weeks on site and two weeks remote support
196
Technical and Prerequisites:
 Written statement that no open prerequisites remain on the City's side and that no additional readiness conditions will be imposed beyond the Pre-Start Checklist. o Confirmed. No additional readiness is needed beyond the Pre-Start up Checklist. Cummins is recommending the City periodically test the gas quality between now and commissioning. This will help ensure the gas remains within acceptable parameters and does not negatively impact startup and commissioning activities.
 Written clarification of the export/onsite power prerequisite language, confirming generated power will be used onsite and not exported.
o Confirmed. Commissioning activities do not include the export of power and will be limited to the testing and verification activities necessary to complete startup and commissioning of the system.

This is part of the protective relay scope mentioned in the next bullet point.  Written description of protective relay responsibilities, including whether relay programming, testing, or third-party relay support is included in Adder04 scope or is a City responsibility. o Protective relay responsibilities are by others and have not been included in any scope presented by Cummins to date.
o The City is responsible for relay settings, programming, and configuration. Cummins' involvement is limited to providing support during testing activities, while the actual relay setup and commissioning are performed by others.
 Written clarification of catalyst status confirming bricks are not yet installed and will be loaded by Miratech on October 15, reconciling prior prerequisite language that implied prior installation. o Cummins is confirming the current status of the catalyst bricks with the Service Engineering Manager. If any remaining catalyst-related activities are outstanding, they will be incorporated into the October commissioning scope and completed at that time. An update on the current status will be provided once confirmed
 .Written confirmation of who is responsible for supplying the portable gas analyzer and in which activities it will be used.
o Cummins will provide a portable gas analyzer during the commissioning activities scheduled for October 5
th-23rd. Prior to commissioning, Cummins recommends that the City periodically test and monitor gas quality to ensure it remains within acceptable parameters. This proactive approach will help identify any changes in gas composition that could adversely impact startup, commissioning, or overall system performance.

Commissioning Documentation and Billing:
 Written description of deliverables confirming the consolidated commissioning report will include final operating settings, SCR tuning results, blending skid tuning results, alarm and shutdown logs, commissioning test records, and final punch list.
o Upon completion of commissioning, Cummins will provide a consolidated commissioning report that includes final operating settings, SCR tuning results, blending skid tuning results, alarm and shutdown logs, commissioning test records, and the final punch-list status. o To ensure expectations are aligned, Cummins will provide the City with a sample commissioning report from a previous project for review. This will allow the City to confirm that the final deliverable will meet its documentation requirements and expectations.  Written overage billing protocol specifying what triggers overage, what documentation is required, whether written City authorization is required before overage work begins, and how overage will be tracked and reported.
o Based on the current understanding of the remaining work, the revised total in Adder 04 REV 5 is intended to be all-inclusive and should not require any additional overage billing. This assumes no significant changes in project scope or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved. Any overage will be documented, discussed, and require written approval prior to work commencing.
 The City also requires clarification of whether partial days trigger full-day overage charges, whether vendor-caused delays can generate overage costs, and how overlapping vendor presence will be coordinated to avoid unnecessary cost exposure.
o For the Cummins scope, charges are limited to the actual technician time required on site during commissioning. Any unused technician time will not be billed. PEECO's commercial model does not provide for this approach, and their pricing is based on committing the necessary resources for the full duration of the planned support period. Vendor caused delays are not considered overage charges billable to the customer.
197
 Written clarification distinguishing standard troubleshooting included in the base scope from troubleshooting that triggers additional daily charges. o Standard troubleshooting consists of the diagnostic and corrective activities included within the contracted commissioning/startup scope. Billable overages would be associated with work outside the contracted scope or additional support required due to factors not attributable to the commissioning efforts.
o Based on the current understanding of the remaining work, the revised total in Adder 04 REV 5 is intended to be all-inclusive and should not require any additional overage billing. This assumes no significant changes in project scope or unforeseen events beyond the reasonable control of the parties involved. Any overage will be documented, discussed and require approval prior to work beginning.
 For convenience, the City has attached a Pricing Clarification Summary table that consolidates all cost-related items requiring written resolution. This summary is provided to make it easier for Cummins to confirm each pricing element and ensure no cost components remain unaddressed. o Cummins has reviewed the spreadsheet and provided additional comments.

V. CONSOLIDATED RESPONSE FORMAT
 The City requests one package by June 25 consisting of: (1) a fully revised Adder04 with a corrected and reconciled total, and (2) a single written response addressing each item above with references to the relevant proposal section. If Cummins believes a specific item needs only to be cited rather than revised, please flag it clearly and the City will review. o Acknowledged.

Cummins believes the responses above address all outstanding questions related to Adder04 Rev 5 and the October 2026 commissioning effort. Should additional clarification be required, we are available to discuss any item in further detail.

Agenda Item Wording:

Award Design Contract - Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with 4Creeks, Inc. for design services for the fleet maintenance shop improvements and expansion project in the amount of $147,255.

Agenda Date: 07/20/2026
Prepared by:

Rehana Lustyan, Senior Project Manager, [email protected], (559) 713-4176 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4410 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with 4Creeks, Inc. for professional design services for the Fleet Maintenance Shop Improvements & Expansion Project, CP0048, in the amount of $147,255.

Summary:

The Fleet Maintenance Shop Improvements and Expansion Project (CP0048) is an approved Capital Improvement Project that requires architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural, and utility coordination design services to support upgrades to an existing building located at the City’s Corporation Yard. These improvements will bring the building up to current standards and provide infrastructure to support the Fleet Maintenance Division’s light-vehicle operation. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with 4Creeks, Inc. for professional design services in the amount of $147,255.

Background Discussion:

CP0048 - Fleet Shop Improvements & Expansion - is an approved capital project that provides funding to remodel the former Edison building at 432 N. Ben Maddox Way, located within the Corporation Yard, for use by the City’s Fleet Maintenance Division. To meet current building code requirements, the project includes upgrades to lighting, electrical infrastructure, air supply, shop heaters, fire sprinklers, and ADA accessibility. The improvements will support the relocation of the Fleet light-vehicle shop into the renovated facility, thus providing additional capacity in the existing shop for the Fleet Maintenance heavy equipment operation.

The project includes improvements to allow for the following primary elements:

Equipment and Bay Configuration
• Four vehicle bays, including one existing lift and three new lifts • One motorcycle lift, tire balancer, and tire changer
• Per-bay utility requirements including 220V outlets, 110V outlets, oil reels, grease reels, air reels, and a vehicle exhaust extraction system

powered by Legistar™200
File #: 26-0028 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 8.

Shop-Wide Systems and Code Compliance
• Central air compressor distribution
• Electrical upgrades for additional amperage demands
• Natural Gas supply extension for shop heaters
• Oil and coolant delivery and disposal systems
• ADA access improvements, including a compliant parking stall • Fire sprinklers, riser, fire department connection, and hydrant within 50 feet • Building signage and exit identification
Environmental and Comfort Enhancements
• One additional evaporative cooler
• Six shop heaters
Optional Additive Items
• Epoxy flooring
• New employee access door
• Upgraded insulation for ceiling and one wall
4Creeks, Inc. was selected from the City’s approved on-call list to provide these design services.

Their scope includes civil and architectural design; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering; structural engineering; internal utility coordination; preparation of plans and specifications; cost estimation; and support through the permitting process. The fee of $147,255 reflects the full design scope requested by staff.

Staff has reviewed the fee proposal submitted by 4Creeks, Inc. and confirmed that all hourly rates used in the development of the proposed fee are consistent with the classifications and amounts included in the firm’s current on-call contract and rate schedule. The rates used in the June 15, 2026 proposal match the approved FY 2026-2027 rate schedule for the City’s on-call Civil Engineering contract renewal.

Staff evaluated 4Creeks’ proposal for clarity to ensure compliance with the City’s on-call agreements and expectations. The proposed fees were found to be reasonable and sufficiently documented, lump -sum subconsultant amounts are supported by appropriate assumptions, and the overall level of effort by task aligns with the project scope. Staff engaged in scope and fee discussions with 4Creeks to refine several elements, including clarifications related to the mechanical system design assumptions and the extent of utility coordination services. All clarifications requested were provided, and the final proposed fee reflects the agreed-upon scope.

While the City is currently undergoing the Corporation Yard master planning process, to keep up with the increasing demands of vehicle and equipment maintenance and repair, there is an immediate need for additional space within the Fleet Maintenance Division. The master plan is not expected to be completed until the end of 2027, but given the relatively good condition of the building in question, its location within the Corporation Yard, and its current configuration, it is extremely unlikely that the staff would consider alternative uses for this building. Additionally, while the potential vacation of certain operational uses of the existing Corporation Yard will be evaluated through the master planning process, any changes would not be immediate and would be transitioned over time as alternative facilities would require design, development and construction. Given the existing infrastructure, Fleet Maintenance operations are not anticipated to be relocated outside of the Visalia City Council Page 2 of 4 Printed on 7/16/2026

File #: 26-0028 Agenda Date: 7/20/2026 Agenda #: 8.
existing Corporation Yard at any point in the near future.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The design services fee of $147,255 will be funded through the multi
‑
fund allocation programmed for CP0048, which includes
funds from the General Fund (001), Buildings Fund (401), Airport Fund (411), Wastewater Fund (431), Solid Waste Fund (441), Transit Capital Fund (452), Storm Sewer Maintenance Fund (481), and Fleet Maintenance Fund (501). No additional appropriation is requested at this time. Future maintenance and operating costs resulting from the completed improvements will be incorporated into the Fleet Division’s operating budget following construction.

Prior Council Action:

January 20, 2026 - Council authorized the City Manager to execute a one-year contract, with the option for four additional one-year renewals, with 4Creeks, Inc., A & M Consulting Engineers, CCME, Inc., and NV5, Inc. for on-call Construction Management and Resident Engineer services in support of the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The annual contract amount for each consultant shall not exceed $500,000 without additional Council authorization.

July 28, 2025 - Under RFQ-24-25-09, the City executed an on-call Civil Engineering professional services contract with 4Creeks, Inc. (Contract C26011), effective July 28, 2025 through July 27, 2026, with the option for four one-year renewals. A 2026-2027 renewal was subsequently issued, along with the updated FY 26-27 hourly rate schedule for continued on-call Civil Engineering services.

Alternatives:

1. Do not authorize the agreement with 4Creeks, Inc., which will delay the project.

2. Request proposals from other on-call design consultants, which will extend the schedule.

Neither option is recommended.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with 4Creeks, Inc. for design services for the Fleet Maintenance Shop Improvements & Expansion Project (CP0048) in the amount of $147,255.

Environmental Assessment Status: The proposed action is limited to authorizing a professional services agreement for design work only. No physical improvements are approved as part of this action. A Notice of Exemption (NOE) documenting the project’s eligibility under the Class 1 Categorical Exemption has been filed, and staff is awaiting the mailed receipt from the Tulare County Clerk.

CEQA Review: The future construction work associated with the Fleet Maintenance Shop Improvements & Expansion Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (CEQA Guidelines §15301, Existing Facilities), as the project involves interior and minor exterior alterations to an existing structure with negligible expansion of use. A Notice of Exemption (NOE) has been filed for this determination, and staff is awaiting the mailed receipt from the Tulare County Clerk.

The title of the RFB was to Supply and Deliver one (1) Custom-Manufactured Bomb Response Vehicle.

Summary:

The Central Valley Regional Bomb Squad is supervised by the Visalia Police Department who is the owner of the current bomb response vehicle. The bomb response vehicle is at the end of its service life. The Visalia Police Department is part of the Central Valley Regional Bomb Squad that consists of bomb technicians from the Visalia Police Department, Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, and Kings County Sheriff’s Office. The bomb technicians are responsible for rendering all hazardous devices in Tulare and Kings County safe.

The construction of a new bomb response vehicle requires unique specifications to address the needs of the bomb squad. This vehicle is responsible for storing all tools and equipment needed to render hazardous devices safe. The bomb response vehicle utilizes a generator to power many of the specialized tools, an x-ray machine to inspect suspected dangerous devices, and a large working space to allow the members of the squad the ability to plan. Additionally, this vehicle needs to be dependable and respond to any of the unique and demanding environments in Tulare and Kings County.

Phase one of the project consists of a new Freightliner M2 106 Plus crew cab truck with a 22’ long custom aluminum dry van body. The body of the truck will be outfitted with all electric work and cabinetry completed. The vehicle will also have exterior storage, one touch leveling system, exterior lighting, and paint completed. The purchase of the vehicle and basic infrastructure listed above will Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/16/2026

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to award and enter a professional design services contract with 4Creeks, Inc. in the amount of $667,446 to prepare final plans, specifications and estimates for the widening of Shirk Street between Walnut Avenue and Noble Avenue and authorize the City Manager to execute a Measure R supplemental agreement with the Tulare County Transportation Authority in the amount of $726,600.

Summary:

The city has solicited a proposal from 4Creeks, Inc. to prepare final plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) for the widening of Shirk Street from a two-lane roadway to a four-lane roadway between Walnut Avenue and Noble Avenue. This proposal was requested from 4Creeks, Inc. because they previously completed the 30% design for the corridor, providing continuity and reducing potential rework, and are now a prequalified consultant under the city’s competitively procured on-call civil engineering services contract. The project consists of the installation of medians, curb and gutter, a shared use path along the east side of the roadway, street lighting, storm drain infrastructure and ADA curb ramps. Additionally, this project will install the underground infrastructure for a future signal at the Shirk Street and Tulare Avenue intersection, when warranted. The project will entail extensive coordination efforts with Southern California Edison (SCE) for the relocation of 18 transmission poles, Persian Ditch Company for the undergrounding of the existing culvert crossing, and property owners for the right of way acquisition efforts. The previously approved 30% design efforts will be continued to achieve final PS&E under this professional design services contract. This design project is being awarded through the city’s current on-call civil engineering contract which was a competitive request for qualifications process.

Background Discussion:

Shirk Street is designated as an arterial roadway in the City of Visalia’s General Plan Circulation Element and serves as a primary transportation corridor for the surrounding industrial and residential Visalia City Council Page 1 of 6 Printed on 7/16/2026

areas, accommodating both passenger vehicles and commercial truck traffic. Continued growth and development along this corridor and surrounding areas have increased traffic volumes and reinforced the need to expand roadway capacity. To address these demands and implement the city’s long term transportation vision, city staff is aiming to advance design efforts to widen Shirk Street from Walnut Avenue to Noble Avenue to meet its planned arterial roadway standards. The proposed project is one of several planned or current capital improvement projects along the Shirk Street corridor between Walnut Avenue and Riggin Avenue and is essential to maintain connectivity and mobility as residential, commercial, and industrial development continues in the area.

In February 2025, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with 4Creeks to prepare a 30% design for the Shirk Street widening project. The primary objective of this initial phase was to establish the preferred roadway alignment while evaluating significant physical, utility, and right of way constraints affecting the project corridor. Key considerations included an approved tentative subdivision map within project limits, the relocation of existing transmission poles along the east side of the roadway, modifications to the existing Persian Ditch culvert crossing, and extensive right of way acquisition requirements tied to existing residential parcels and ag land that use Shirk as their primary access point. Approximately one mile of the project’s 1.5 mile corridor frontage requires additional right-of-way to accommodate the planned roadway improvements.

In addition to establishing the roadway alignment, the preliminary design effort sought to identify and coordinate the future locations of major wet utilities within the corridor to ensure consistency with the city’s long-term infrastructure plans. The approved residential subdivision located within the project limits was conditioned to construct a sanitary sewer gravity trunk main along its frontage to serve the second and final phase of development. Due to capacity and operational limitations, the development could not connect to the existing force main currently located within the corridor. To facilitate the development and ensure compatibility with the ultimate roadway configuration, the design of the sanitary sewer trunk main within the widening project limits was completed as part of the preliminary engineering effort.

Because installation of a 48-inch gravity sewer main at depths exceeding 20 feet creates substantial construction and traffic impacts, the city and developer expanded the limits of its sewer improvements. The developer is currently constructing the sanitary sewer trunkline from Walnut Avenue to Noble Avenue and will decommission the existing lift station and force main within the corridor. Completion of these improvements will satisfy the long-term wastewater conveyance needs for the Shirk Street corridor and will eliminate the need for further wastewater trunk line design or construction as the during the roadway widening project commences. Therefore, no additional wastewater trunk line improvements or associated funding are anticipated as part of this roadway widening project.

Advancing the preliminary design was critical to provide certainty for ongoing and future development activities within the project limits and surrounding areas. The completed 30% design evaluated multiple alignment alternatives and identified a preferred alignment that balances project objectives with the corridor’s existing constraints, utility requirements, and anticipated future development. As a result of the completed wastewater improvements, the final PS&E phase for the roadway widening project will focus on roadway improvements, storm drain infrastructure, coordination with California Water Service for future water main facilities, and the design and coordination of dry utility infrastructure within the corridor. The project will address overall connectivity through the corridor by coordinating multimodal transportation across several of the city’s ongoing and completed capital Visalia City Council Page 2 of 6 Printed on 7/16/2026

improvement projects. The design will set up for a future Class I trail along the west side of the roadway, install the underground infrastructure for a future traffic signal at the Shirk Street and Tulare Avenue intersection and provide pedestrian connectivity to the planned improvements over the existing bridge at the SR-198 crossing.

The original 30% design contract was awarded to 4Creeks through a sole source procurement process based on the firm’s involvement with the approved subdivision map located within the project corridor. This approach minimized duplication of effort and reduced the potential for design conflicts.

Subsequent to that contract award, the city established a civil engineering on-call consultant program consisting of six qualified firms, including 4Creeks, Inc., Peters Engineering Group, Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group, TRC Engineering, Inc., Lane Engineering, Inc., and CWE. Although the original 30% design contract was awarded through a sole source procurement process, 4Creeks is now one of the city's pre-qualified on-call engineering consultants eligible to receive task orders.

Because 4Creeks completed the preliminary design, established the preferred roadway alignment, and coordinated the project with the adjacent private development, selecting the firm from the on-call consultant pool to complete the final design maintains continuity, minimizes the potential for rework or design conflicts, and provides the most efficient delivery of the project. Due to its extensive familiarity with the project and completion of the preliminary design phase, 4Creeks was selected from the oncall consultant pool to continue advancing the project through final design.

Under the proposed agreement, 4Creeks will advance the project from its current 30% design level to final PS&E for the roadway widening improvements. The scope of work includes the design of the roadway expansion, undergrounding of approximately 500 linear feet of the Persian Ditch, dry and wet utility design and relocation coordination, right of way acquisition efforts, Caltrans coordination, as well as streetlight and landscape design. Based on the consultant’s proposed schedule, final construction documents are anticipated to be completed at the end of 2027. This schedule anticipates that eminent domain will not be required during the right of way acquisition process.

Following completion of design, city staff intends to advertise the project for construction, with timelines subject to the relocation of the existing transmission poles, acquisition of the required rightof-way, and coordination with the Persian Ditch dry season.

Fiscal Impact:

This project budget is funded through multiple sources: Measure R Local (131), Measure R Regional (133), Storm Sewer Construction (221), Wastewater Trunkline (231), and Transportation Impact Fund (241). At this time, the fiscal impact associated with this action is limited to the design and right of way acquisition phases of the project. As outlined in Table 1: Current Project Funding, the current budget allocation is sufficient to fully cover the anticipated design costs, resulting in a surplus of $666,231. This surplus indicates that supplemental funds are not required to award the design contract in its entirety.

See below the project funding breakdown.

The surplus identified in the table above will be applied toward the construction of the proposed improvements. The project funding shown in Table 1 accounts for the budget requests made by staff and approved in the recently adopted budget for Fiscal Years (FY) 2026-27 and 2027-28. The funds approved in the most recent budget are from the Measure R Local (131) and Transportation Impact Fee (241) funds and are intended to support the design and right of way acquisition phases of the project. Construction costs, currently estimated at approximately $14.1 million, have been programmed in the FY 2028-29 planning year.

At this time, staff is anticipating approximately $5.0 million in Measure R Regional funds and $1.0 million in Measure R Trail funds. The remaining construction funding gap is expected to be requested from the Measure R Local, Storm Sewer Construction, and Transportation Impact funds. Currently, staff recommends a Measure R supplemental agreement with the Tulare County Transportation Authority (TCTA) for the use of Measure R Regional funds in the amount of $726,600 towards the design phase.

City staff remains open to federalizing the project and will continue to pursue federal funding opportunities by submitting the proposed improvements for consideration as congressional earmarks to help support the construction phase.

Project Understanding
The Scope of Work outlined herein is based on conversations with City staff, our experience with the project to date, our experience delivering similar projects for the City of Visalia, and a review of available documentation. Building upon the ongoing 30% design effort currently being completed by
4Creeks, our team will continue coordinating with City staff to refine the project scope, as needed, and advance the project through final design and preparation of the required
deliverables. Additionally, following project kickoff and throughout the design phase, we will notify the City if unexpected field conditions, encumbrances, or design
requirements necessitate a change in scope. The general scope of work presented herein is for the completion of the 100% design for the Shirk Street Improvements between Walnut Avenue and the State Route 198 interchange.

For the purposes of design, we anticipate the southern project limit to be approximately 800 feet south of the Shirk
Street/Walnut Avenue intersection, directly north of the Watson Ditch to allow for interim lane transitions until Shirk Street is widened south of Walnut Avenue and to avoid Watson Ditch improvements. The Shirk Street/Walnut Avenue intersection improvements are currently being designed by others.

Therefore, the Shirk Street widening plans will tie into the anticipated northern curb returns of the planned Walnut Avenue intersection. The northern project limits are anticipated to tie into the State Route 198 ramp improvements, which will require coordination with existing conditions, varying crosssectional widths, and consideration of future ultimate buildout for the full roadway section. 4Creeks will utilize a team of staff and subconsultants to perform the various components of this project. Jason Watts, PE will be the acting project manager and 4Creeks staff will coordinate with all team members to work concurrently, maintain the schedule, and ensure the project goals are achieved.

The scope of work will generally include the following:
• Continue development of the 30% design currently
being completed by 4Creeks and advance it into a
complete bid package.
• Prepare construction documents identifying existing
improvements, improvements by others, and
improvements to be constructed by the City.
• Finalize roadway widening design, including median
improvements.
• Finalize turning pockets and intersection
improvements along the corridor.
• Finalize pavement improvements based on
geotechnical recommendations.
• Design frontage improvements, including curb and
gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, and driveways.
• Develop signing and pavement delineation for the fullwidth configuration of Shirk Street. • Finalize drainage improvements, including DI’s,
laterals, crossings, and storm drain infrastructure.
• Finalize design of the Persian Ditch crossing.
• Design street lighting and electrical components.
• Design underground traffic signal improvements at
the Shirk Street/Tulare Avenue intersection for future
signalization.
• Continue utility research, coordination, and relocation planning/coordination.
• Design signal interconnect conduit along Shirk Street between Walnut Avenue and the eastbound State
Route 198 off-ramp.
• Design median landscaping and irrigation.
• Design interim roadway improvements south of
Walnut Avenue approximately 800' to transition traffic
to the existing roadway cross section.
• Provide off-site coordination with Caltrans and
adjacent property owners and coordination with
adjacent projects at Walnut Avenue and State Route
198.
• Provide bidding and construction assistance
(optional).
• Provide federal funding support (optional).
• Prepare as-built plans (optional).

The following sections provide a detailed breakdown of the tasks required to advance the project from the current 30% design phase through final 100% plans, specifications, and engineer’s opinion of probable construction costs.
