RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution awarding a contract to Selden & Son, a partnership, for Phase 1 of the Watsonville City Plaza Park Revitalization Project, No. PK-25-09053, in the amount of $1,180,800, authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the same and any amendments thereto of a non-substantive nature subject to legal approval.
BACKGROUND:
Timeline:,
On December 13, 2019, the City of Watsonville’s Zoning Administrator issued an Administrative Use with Design Review and Environmental Review Permit for the City Plaza Park Site located at 350 Main St.
On February 11, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 13-20 (CM) adopting the City of Watsonville’s 2020 Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan, which included the City Plaza Park concept plan.
On September 22, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 171-20 (CM) approving the application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Grant Funds.
On February 21, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. 33-23 (CM) accepting the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program grant funds in the amount of $3,349.595; and
2 Resolution No. 34-23 (CM) awarding a professional services contract to SSA Landscape Architects for the design and construction drawings of the City Plaza Revitalization Project.
On May 27, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 138-25 (CM) authorizing the execution of a Bond Purchase Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed thirteen million dollars of which $3.5 million would be used for the City Plaza Revitalization Project.
On December 2, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 313-25 (CM) approving plans and specifications and calling for bids for Phase 1 of the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project, No. PK 25-09053 with an estimated cost of $1,100,000.
Full Scope of Work
The master plan for this project includes the following basic improvements:
Repave gazebo surface and surroundings with permeable pavers and landscaping. Refurbish the fountain area with a brick plaza, park benches, and interpretative signage. Install as 30-inch-high permanent concrete stage facing out from the gazebo toward Main Street. ADA-accessible spectator area, permeable pavers, and a sloped ramp with guardrails to the stage. Install a game table area south of the gazebo.
Install a picnic table area east of the gazebo.
Repave existing pathways with brick accent.
Install a historic/art element pedestal at the corner of Main Street and East Beach Street Drinking fountain with bottle-filling station.
Four new public art features designed by local artist Kathleen Crocetti. Relocate cannons along Main Street.
New electrical service and infrastructure to accommodate cultural performances, holiday lighting, and upgrades and expansion of existing park lighting.
Plant six 15-gallon sized trees, 14 smaller ornamental trees, and four large statured shade trees, 17 existing trees will be maintained on site, including three trees designated, under Chapter 7-13, Preservation of Historical Trees, of the Watsonville Municipal Code. Sixteen (16) trees will be removed from the site, including nine unhealthy trees, and two trees will be relocated.
Phase 1
Phase 1 of the City Plaza Revitalization Project will seismically retrofit and cosmetically refurbish the bandstand (gazebo) and fountain feature to their historic grandeur. Duration for this scope of work is projected to last 6 months and the engineer’s estimate is $1,100,000. This approach will allow the city to hire a qualified contractor with experience working on historic structures.
3 Phase 2
The remaining scope of work such as the stage, new path surfacing, electrical work, new infrastructure, and site lighting are included in Phase 2. The City plans to request permission to bid in the summer of 2026 once costs for Phase 1 are known. Phase 2 will require a cost analysis for scope items that can be afforded given the remaining project budget. Construction for this phase is projected to last 9 months.
DISCUSSION:
The plans and specifications for Phase 1 of the Watsonville City Plaza Park Revitalization Project, No. PK25-09053, were authorized by City Council on December 2, 2025, through Resolution No. 313-25 (CM).
On January 15, 2026, City staff released an invitation for competitive public bids in accordance with Title 7, Chapter 14 of the Watsonville Municipal Code. Sealed bids were tabulated and evaluated on February 18, 2026, through the City’s electronic bidding portal. The results of the bid opening are as follows:
Contractor Location Bid
Pro Ex Construction Inc. Rancho Cordova, CA $1,050,000
Selden & Son Watsonville, CA $1,180,800
C2 Builders Inc. Royal Oaks, CA $1,399,000
Pro-Ex Construction was the lowest bidder but was deemed non-responsive because they did not comply with the bidding requirements. Specifically, the bid required two projects of similar nature equal the value of $1.1 million and five more projects of at least $550,000. Pro-Ex Construction’s projects do not meet the monetary criteria and failed to properly bid on the project adequately since each bid proposal item was estimated at the same amount.
Selden & Son submitted a responsive bid that fulfilled the bidding requirements. Reference checks were completed and historical experience was verified to ensure the contractor was qualified to undertake this project. Selden & Son is a local General Building Contractor with over twenty years’ experience completing commercial and industrial projects on the Central Coast.
Project Costs
The construction contract reflects an additional 10% contingency to cover unforeseen conditions, potential change orders, and design changes. The total estimated project cost is $1,298,880. Staff recommend that the City Manager authorize the execution of said construction contract on behalf of the City of Watsonville. The anticipated construction will start in May 2026 and last approximately 6 months.
Description Amount
Construction Contract – Selden & Son $1,180,800
Construction Contingency (10%) $118,080
Total $1,298,880
4 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
On December 13, 2019, the City of Watsonville’s Zoning Administrator issued an Administrative Use Permit and Design Review Permit with Environmental Review (PP2019-448) for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization project with no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21080(c).
In December 2019, a Notice of Determination with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was filed with the Santa Cruz CEQA Clerk and Office of Planning and Research by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to CEQA provisions.
Awarding a contract for Phase 1 of the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization Project does not create any new or more impacts that have not already been analyzed. No further CEQA action is thus needed at this time.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This recommendation is consistent with the following Council Strategic Goals:
Infrastructure & Environment: Renovation of significant City infrastructure Community Engagement & Well-Being: Parks support the community’s well-being FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project will be funded from the following funds:
Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Grant Account Number 260-337-7361-09053
Parks Revitalization Expense
Account Number 150-901-7820-09053
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
City Council may choose not to award this contract, hereby furthering delaying construction of this project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
2 Reso No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 032426
1. A Notice of Determination with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was filed with the Santa Cruz CEQA Clerk and Office of Planning and Research by the Zoning Administrator, in December 2019, pursuant to CEQA provisions.
2. An Administrative Use Permit and Design Review Permit with Environmental Review (PP2019-448) was approved for the Watsonville City Plaza Revitalization project by the City of Watsonville’s Zoning Administrator on December 13, 2019, with no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21080(c).

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 8 IN THE AMOUNT OF $357,694.67 WITH ROBERT A. BOTHMAN
CONSTRUCTION FOR THE RAMSAY PARK RENAISSANCE PROJECT, NO.
PK-22-01, AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO
DO THE SAME
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving Contract Change Order No. 8, in the amount of $357,694.67 with Robert A. Bothman Construction for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project, No. PK-22-01, and authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND:
On March 26, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 45-24 (CM) to award a construction contract to Robert A Bothman Construction for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project, No. PK-22-01, in the amount of $24,530,000. A Notice to Proceed was issued on June 3, 2024, and the contractor began mobilization for the project. To date, seven change orders have been issued to the project:
Change Order Number 1 was approved by Director of Parks & Community Services Department on August 23, 2024, for upgrades to EV charger models resulting in additional costs and increasing the contract amount by $48,819.06.
Change Order Number 2 was approved by Director of Parks & Community Services Department on December 10, 2024, for an additional scope of work and increased the contract by $82,086.22. This
2 scope of work covered the demolition of additional trees and existing facilities and addressed additional work due to PG&E’s requirements for potholing critical gas transmission lines.
On January 14, 2025, the City adopted Resolution No. 2-25 (CM) which approved Change Order No. 3 for the removal and replacement of unsuitable subgrade material, and to provide two additional layers of engineered fabric at the multi-use field, which resulted in additional costs and increasing the contract by $587,708.10.
On May 27, 2025, the City adopted Resolution No. 128-25 (CM) which approved Change Order No. 4 for the additional costs that addressed unforeseen conditions due to environmental concerns and existing utilities, as well as changes by staff to the existing scope of work. This change order increased the contract amount by $385,337.59.
On September 23, 2025, the City adopted Resolution No. 244-25 (CM) which approved Change Order No. 5 for the additional costs of redesigning the fencing at the Multi-Use field due to unforeseen conditions, a new entrance and gate at the play area entrance, replacement of the existing irrigation main line at the Sotomayer Soccer Field, and extra work performed by the contractor in working with PG&E for the removal of the retired gas transmission line. This change order increased the contract amount by $249,994.38.
On January 13, 2026, Council adopted Resolution No. 1-26 (CM) which approved Change Order No. 6 for a time extension of 168 days to the contract and extended overhead costs of $553,639.74.
This covered delays to the project covering numerous issues. This resolution also approved Change Order No. 7 which addressed drainage revisions and modifications to the electrical switchgear enclosure. This amount was $153,279.30. The cumulative contract amount, including CCOs 1 through 7, is $26,590,864.39.
On May 27, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 138-25 (CM) authorizing the execution of a Bond Purchase Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed thirteen million dollars, of which $8.5 million would be used for the Ramsay Renaissance project.
DISCUSSION:
As of the end of February, the Ramsay Renaissance project is 80% completed. Work is progressing in three of the four main areas: The Sotomayor Soccer Field, the Playground / Dog Park location, and the Multi-Use Field. Staff meet regularly with their consultants and the contractor to monitor the progress of the project, address issues in the field like unforeseen conditions, and review the standing scope of work for areas where improvements can be made that were not previously evident. Sometimes resolving these issues results in extra cost to the City, as well as a delay to the schedule. The following are descriptions of Contract Change Order No. 8 extra costs.
Contract Change Order No. 8:
3 Contract Change Order No. 8, which comprises three Request for Changes submitted by the contractor, addresses these added expenses.
RFC 37r1 addressed revisions to the irrigation systems around the Multi-Use field. The line was relocated from inside of the field to outside of the perimeter. This resulted in lower production as there were more obstructions and utilities, as well as alterations in grading and regrading.
RFC 38r1 provides compensation for a renovation of the existing restroom at the Main St. Parking lot.
This work was not part of the Ramsay Park Master Plan, and by June of 2024 the condition of the restroom had deteriorated due to use and abuse. Staff determined a complete renovation is warranted.
Work will include removal and replacement of plumbing fixtures, accessories, and partitions, new exterior doors and skylights, and new painting at both the exterior and interior of the building.
RFC 41r1 addressed changes to the parking lot design due to elevation challenges presented by the existing concrete cap on the 10” gas transmission line that runs through the lot. Work includes changes in grading, new concrete curbs, new truncated domes, and new handrail.
These changes culminate into a total of $357,694.67.
Staff have reviewed Contract Change Order No. 8 and are recommended that they be approved. CCO No. 8 will add to the scope of work and increase the contract by an amount not to exceed $357,694.67 to a revised total contract amount not to exceed $26,948,559.06.
Project Cost Update:
If CCO No. 8 is approved, the cumulative amount of change orders approved is $2,418,559.06. This results in a 9.86% increase of the original contract amount of $24,530,000. If the monetary amount of RFCs without CCO No. 6, which addresses time extension cost, is calculated, change order total is at 7.60%. In the staff report awarding the project to Robert A. Bothman, the approved funding for the project included a 10% contingency. As we are 80% completed with the project, the change order total is in line with the progress of construction. Staff does anticipate the full 10% contingency will be used and additional costs will include the following scope of work at a future date:
1. Softball Backstop: Part of the project was to re-use portions of the existing softball backstop in the new Multi-Use field construction. Upon investigation, the existing supports were determined to be structurally inadequate per current engineering standards. As a result, a revised design for a completely new backstop will result in additional costs.
2. Drainage Improvements to the Southern Access Road: This scope was not in the Renaissance original scope, but staff became aware of the rainwater runoff in this area becoming an issue.
When a new ADA accessible walkway was constructed at the parking lot edges as part of the Watsonville Slough Connector Trail project, runoff that would go directly to the parking lot now runs over the walkway and landscaping areas.
4 3. Added fencing at dog park and picnic area. Gates in the chain link fence between the two dog parks were added for easier access from one side to the other and maintenance purposes to access the bioswale.
4. The bioswale at the entry off Main St. needed to be relocated over to the north side as the original design conflicted with the PG&E gas line.
In addition to this work, there are two cost impacts to the project that will exceed the continency amount.
The first begins with the decision not to proceed with the new Nature Center project south of the Renaissance Project and relocating that project into the renovated Ramsay Family Center. The Nature Center project provided both an ADA path of travel to both the lower parking lot and the eastern trail to the playground area. The decision not to proceed with this project left a big hole in the overall Ramsay Park design. To address this, staff directed the architect to produce drawings to provide accessible routes to the trail and parking lot, complete with lighting. The expected cost of this work is $1,000,000. Parks does have that money available, as it was budgeted as part of the approved project total for funding the Nature Center project to assist with their sitework and amphitheater cost.
We are choosing to spend it on roughly the same scope to complete the southern side of the Renaissance project, but it will be added to the project as a negotiated change order.
The second impact is dealing with the fact that the project is behind schedule. CCO No. 6 addressed time extension and extended overhead to April 2026, but this is based on the schedule update from May 2025. The current schedule update has moved the completion date to summer of 2026. Notable issues contributing to this delay are the unforeseen conditions at the backstop, the switchgear redesign, conflict with play area slide installations, and existing gas line conflicts at the parking lot. As we get closer to the end of the project, efforts to minimize delays will be in effect, but there will still be some extended overhead costs due.
CCO No. 8 and the above outline anticipated future change orders will be funded through the already approved lease bond. It is expected that all work outlined above, which will be included in future change orders, will fall within the total budget already appropriated for this project.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
On August 16, 2023, an Administrative Use Permit and Design Review Permit with Environmental Review (PP2022-4245) was approved for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project, including the Nature Center, by the City of Watsonville’s Zoning Administrator with no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21080(c).
On August 29, 2023, a Notice of Determination with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was filed with the Santa Cruz CEQA Clerk and Office of Planning and Research by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to CEQA provisions.
5 The CEQA documentation prepared for the Ramsay Park Renaissance Project serves as the appropriate environmental documentation for proposed Eighth Change Order to the Contract and satisfies all requirements of CEQA. No supplemental environmental documentation is required by CEQA at this time pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162, because no substantial changes are proposed to the Project with this Eighth Change Order to the Contract and no new information of substantial importance has been identified. Additionally, no addendum is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164 because no technical changes or additions are proposed through this Eighth Change Order to the Contract, and this change to Contract does not authorize any actions that will create any environmental impact that have not already been analyzed.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This recommendation is consistent with the following Council Strategic Goals:
2) Infrastructure & Environment: Renovation of significant City infrastructure 6) Community Engagement & Well-Being: Parks support the community’s well-being FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Contract Change Order No. 8 will be funded from the following account:
Ramsay Park Investment Bond 0260-905-7820-15251
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose not to accept this change order, and the remaining proposed scope of work will not be completed. Alternative details might need to be pursued.

SUBJECT: APPROVE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH BEAR ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS, INC. FOR STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS, AND INCREASE TOTAL COMPENSATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving the Fourth Amendment to Contract with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. for the City-wide Streetlight Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. TR-23-14011, and increasing the contract compensation in the amount of $60,000 for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $510,000
BACKGROUND:
On July 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 145-23 (CM) awarding a professional services contract to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc., for City-wide Streetlight Maintenance and Repairs, Project No.
TR-23-14011, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 per year, with the option to extend one year for up to two additional years.
In October 2024, the City exercised the option to extend the contract for an additional year, and Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc., agreed. The First Amendment to Contract was executed on October 23, 2024, and extended the contract to July 18, 2025, and increased contract compensation in the amount of $100,000, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $200,000.
The Second Amendment to Contract was executed on October 6, 2025, and extended the contract to July 18, 2026, and increased contract compensation in the amount of $100,000, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $300,000.
2 The Third Amendment to Contract was executed on January 5, 2026, and increased contract compensation in the amount of $150,000, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $450,000.
DISCUSSION:
The City currently owns and maintains approximately 2,445 streetlights. These include lights mounted on grey metal “cobra head” poles on most City streets, the decorative metal poles in the downtown area and wood telephone poles. Because this work requires certified electrical technicians and specialized utility vehicles, the City has hired contractors to perform the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the facilities.
The City currently has a contract with Star Energy Management, Inc. to replace all city-owned streetlight fixtures. During the streetlight replacement project, city staff called upon Bear to assist and do work outside of the scope of the Star contract. While this work by Bear was paid for with Measure R funds, it spent down the current Bear contract. This Fourth Amendment increases the Bear contract to compensate for the portion used by the streetlight replacement work.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
No additional California Environmental Quality (CEQA) review is required for the Contract Amendment with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. On July 18, 2023, the City Council declared the City-wide Streetlight Maintenance as exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(5), as it does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project”. This Fourth Amendment does not add any new or more significant impacts that have not already been analyzed.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This contract amendment is consistent with the following Strategic Plan(s):
Infrastructure & Environment
Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total of the Fourth Amendment to Contract is $60,000, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $510,000. The $60,000 is to be charged to budget account: 0305-923-7837- 14018 (Gas Tax – Signals and Lighting Replacement) where there are sufficient funds.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 24, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN RECOMMENDED BY: INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH PACIFIC CREST ENGINEERING, INC. FOR THE ON-CALL INSPECTION, TESTING, AND
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $20,000
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving the First Contract Amendment with Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc., for oncall inspection, testing, and geotechnical services on the WWTF Electrical System Hazard Mitigation Project, in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $107,000 and authorize and direct City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND:
On February 25, 2022, the Public Works & Utilities Department released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for inspection, testing, and geotechnical engineering services on an on-call and as-needed basis. On March 24, 2022, four proposals were submitted for consideration and Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc., was recommended as the most qualified firm. A contract to provide these services on the WWTF Electrical System Hazard Mitigation project was executed with Pacific Crest which needs added scope and fee, requiring an amendment.
DISCUSSION:
At the start of construction of the WWTF Electrical System Hazard Mitigation Project, a contract was executed with Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $87,000 on May 23, 2024, to provide oncall special inspection and testing services. Construction has been progressing, and it was determined by
2 staff that additional testing and inspection scope was needed to ensure consistent quality assurance through the project duration.
Pacific Crest provided an estimate for the added special inspection and testing scope for the remainder of the project of not to exceed $20,000. Whereas the original contract amount was within the City manager’s signing authority, this First Amendment will increase the total contract amount to $107,000, therefore requiring Council approval.
It is recommended that this First Amendment with Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc. be approved so that continued special inspection and testing support services can continue on the project.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
No California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) action is required for this First Amendment to the contract with Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc. for professional Inspection, Testing, and Geotechnical Engineering Services as it is an administrative activity that would not have the potential to either (1) cause a direct physical change in the environment, or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The WWTF Electrical System Hazard Mitigation project’s Notice of Exemption was recorded with the Santa Cruz County Clerk of the Board on July 17, 2023, and this action does not modify the scope of the project for which that determination was made.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action is consistent with strategic plan goal: Infrastructure & Environment FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This First Amendment will add $20,000 to the amount of the contract. There is sufficient budget available in the project Sewer Enterprise Fund budget code 911-7855-14797.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time. The amendment is needed to complete the project successfully.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 24, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: WATER DIVISION MANAGER KAYSER
RECOMMENDED BY: INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PIPELINE
MATERIALS FROM CORE & MAIN, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$571,944.20, FOR THE FREEDOM BOULEVARD (GREEN VALLEY TO
COMPTON TERRACE) PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a purchase order for water supplies and materials for the Freedom Boulevard (Green Valley to Compton Terrace) project from Core & Main, LP, in the amount of $571,944.20 plus any adjustments for the actual costs of freight, delivery and taxes which are calculated at the time of final shipment, and authorize and directing City Manager to execute purchase order any extensions or amendments that may be necessary to execute the purchase.
BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 2023, Council adopted Resolution No. 201-23 (CM) approving specifications and calling for bids for Water Supplies, Materials and Services. On November 16, 2023, the City opened bids from pipe material suppliers for the purchase of water main replacement piping materials for up to a threeyear term. Core & Main was the low bidder and selected as the pipe material supplier for the City (Resolution No. 6-24 (CM). The City’s Water Services crew will be replacing the existing water main on Freedom Boulevard (between Green Valley Road and Compton Terrace), requiring a new purchase order specific to the replacement materials needed.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department is planning a pavement reconstruction project on Freedom Boulevard from Airport to Green Valley which is anticipated to begin construction in 2027. The existing water main in this
2 section of roadway requires maintenance and replacement. The City’s own Water Services crew will be performing the maintenance replacement of the existing water line, and therefore needs to purchase pipeline materials including piping, valves, fittings, and other appurtenances.
In November 2023, the City requested formal bids for the on-call and as-needed supply of water main replacement materials. Core & Main was selected as the low bidder. The term of the formal bid was for up to three years. A separate purchase order for the piping materials on Freedom Boulevard from Green Valley Road to Compton Terrace is needed to better track the costs of this water main replacement, rather than adding it as an amendment to the existing on-call purchase agreement with Core & Main.
The City’s Water Services crew replacing the water main will result in a significant cost and time savings as compared to bidding the work out to a contractor with the construction of the roadway project. It is therefore recommended that a purchase order be issued to Core & Main, LP in the amount of $571,944.20 plus any adjustments for the actual costs of freight, delivery and taxes which are calculated at the time of final shipment, for the purchase of water main replacement materials for the Freedom Boulevard (Green Valley to Compton Terrace) project.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment and because action to purchase materials constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Additionally, even if a “project,” the action would be exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment. Though not part of the action before Council, the replacement of the existing water main is also categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15301 Class 2 (c) because it involves the replacement of existing water utility facilities that involve negligible or no expansion of capacity.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project is consistent with the following strategic plan goal:
Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is a Water Enterprise Fund internal budget transfer memo pending (which does not require Council approval) that will transfer funds from the Poppy Hill Pump Station Replacement project budget code
3 (913-7831-14830) to the Freedom Blvd. from Green Valley to Airport project budget code (913-7837- 15209). The Poppy Hill Pump Station project is still under design and anticipated to go out to bid next fiscal year, leaving these funds available for transfer.
Once the budget transfer is completed, there will be sufficient budget available in 913-7837-15209 to cover the cost of this purchase order.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternative known. Council could elect not to award the purchase order to Core & Main which would result in a delay to the Freedom Boulevard resurfacing project.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 24, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: Assistant Public Works & Utilities Director Fontes RECOMMENDED BY: INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPT $1,248,000 GRANT FROM THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION COMMISION FOR THE SAFE ROUTES TO
DOWNTOWN WATSONVILLE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution accepting $1,248,000 grant from the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission for the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project and appropriate such funds to the Special Grants Fund [0260] and authorize the City Manager to execute and negotiate all agreements and any amendments necessary.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2021, staff submitted the grant application to the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission in response to the Call for Projects – 2021 Consolidated Grants and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The grant application is for the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project.
On December 2, 2021, the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission adopted Resolution No. 28-22 for the 2021 Consolidated Grants Program and 2022 Regional Transportation Improvement Program to program regional shares of State and Federal funds and amend project listings for previously programmed projects, which includes the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville project, in the amount of $1,248,000 for the City of Watsonville.
2 DISCUSSION:
The Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project will improve safety near Watsonville High School and its five feeder schools and two charter schools, as listed below:
Watsonville High School
Radcliff Elementary School
Ann Soldo Elementary School
Mintie White Elementary School
T.S. MacQuiddy Elementary School
E.A. Hall Middle School
Ceiba College Preparatory Academy
Linscott Charter School
The improvements proposed by the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project are the result of the City’s Complete Streets to School Plan, the Watsonville Vision Zero Action Plan 2020, and the Downtown Complete Streets Plan. Together, these plans represent years of public engagement and stakeholder outreach. As a result, the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project is a comprehensive project that will significantly improve pedestrian and bike safety in the City’s downtown area.
The improvements include Class III bike routes, high visibility crosswalks, curb extensions, new or upgraded curb ramps, refuge islands and signs along the existing paved roadways and sidewalks. The project also includes the installation of red curbs and trimming back vegetation.
Funding for the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project is from several sources. This includes $1,248,000 awarded by the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission with their 2021 Consolidated Grants and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). This breakdowns to $352,000 in Regional Surface Transportation Program Exchange (RSTPX) funds and $896,000 in State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds. The funds were allocated as follows:
Task RSTPX STIP Total
Project Approval & Environmental
Document (PAED)
$75,000 $0 $75,000
Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PSE) $100,000 $0 $100,000 Right of Way (ROW) $35,000 $0 $35,000
Construction (CON) $142,000 $896,000 $1,038,000
Total $352,000 $896,000 $1,248,000
The city secured funding for design of this project from two other sources. This includes $507,000 in Active Transportation Program funding awarded to the city in 2022 and $220,000 in California Air Resource Board funds received in partnership with Ecology Action in 2025.
This project is starting the design phase. At its 02/10/26 meeting, Council approved Resolution No. 23-26 (CM) for a contract with RRM Design Group of San Luis Obispo for preparation of improvement plans and construction documents. Design should be completed in 2026, and construction is to take place in 2027.
3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
No additional California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review is required for the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project. On August 26, 2025 the City Council declared the project exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, example (c): Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety, and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that that do not create additional automobile lanes). Further, the adoption of a Resolution accepting a grant from the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission is an administrative activity that would not have the potential to either (1) cause direct physical change in the environment, or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, no CEQA action is required at this time.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The project is consistent with the following Strategic Plan goal(s):
Infrastructure & Environment
Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The funds from this grant will go towards the Safe Routes to Downtown Watsonville Project. Proceeds from the grant are to be appropriated to the Special Grants Fund [0260].
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council may choose not to accept the award which will delay the project.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 24, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: DEPUTY CITY MANAGER MANNING
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION OF NEW PUBLIC WORKS AND
UTILITIES JOB CLASSIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing a new job classification and position for Customer Service Lead Technician, adopting a job description for the Customer Service Lead Technician, and eliminating the Customer Service Manager Position.
BACKGROUND:
The City recently completed a City-wide class and compensation study which included a review of existing job descriptions which proposed updated language to modernize and standardize certain requirements.
DISCUSSION:
In addition to the proposed language updates from the City-wide study, Public Works is recommending a new classification and job description to replace the Customer Service Manager classification; an existing position that no longer fits the Water Division structure:
Customer Service Lead Technician (new)
The Customer Service Technicians were recently reorganized to report to the Water Services Supervisor within the Water Division. Previously they had been an independent team combined with utility billing customer service administrators. Both Customer Service Technicians and Water Services Technicians are responsible for the City’s water distribution system, though each team has related but distinct tasks.
Customer Service Technicians are responsible for meter installation and maintenance, backflow testing, cross connection prevention, among other responsibilities. Now that this team reports to the Water
2 Services supervisor, it allows for more collaboration between these two field technician teams that operate and maintain the City’s water distribution system.
Public Works is recommending a new Customer Service Lead Technician position be created to bridge the gap between the top-level technical staff and the Water Services Supervisor, similar to the structure on the Water Services Technician side, which already has a lead position. This not only allows for career advancement for the Customer Service Technicians, but also provides shift oversight redundancies when a supervisor is not present.
This position will be in the LIUNA mid-management bargaining group and will be non-exempt. The proposed top step monthly pay rate for this new position is 10% above the existing Customer Service Technician III top step.
The new Customer Service Lead Technician job classification was approved by the Personnel Commission at its March 19, 2026 meeting. With the approval of the new position, the former Customer Service Manager position (that formerly oversaw the technicians and administrators when they were a combined team) will be repealed.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that is an administrative activity that will not result in a potentially significant impact to the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This aligns with strategic plan number 7-efficient and high performing government by attracting qualified candidates and retaining great employees.
7-Efficient and High Performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Creation of the Customer Service Lead Technician position is intended to be a reclassification of an existing employee and is not planned to be a new full time employee (FTE) at this time. Therefore the net financial impact results in a 10% increase in salary for the existing employee, which the Water Enterprise Fund has sufficient budget available to absorb.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Classification Proposed Step 0 Proposed Step 6 % Above Lower Tier Customer Service Lead Technician $6,273.72/month $8,407.38/month 10% above Customer Service Technician III
3 The City Council may elect not to approve the new job classification which would result in the elimination of a position that allows for career growth within the Customer Service Technician series.

a) Adopt a Resolution updating the City’s Proposition 218 Notice and Hearing Procedures to incorporate Legal Objection Procedures for the Water and Wastewater Rate Hearing. b) Adopt a Resolution to authorize staff to proceed with the noticing of proposed water, wastewater and solid waste rates to property owners and customers in accordance with Proposition 218 State Law; and set the date of May 26, 2026, for the tabulation of protests and conduct a public hearing of proposed rates pending the results of the protest.
BACKGROUND:
Approximately every five years, the City conducts a utility rate study for the water, wastewater and solid waste enterprises to ensure fair and cost-justified rates for all City users and to ensure sufficient revenue is available to operate and maintain existing systems and to invest in future projects. Customer rates are generated to sustain operations, maintenance, debt payments, and capital improvement projects as well as the costs of oversight and administrative functions performed by the City’s internal service departments. The last rate study was conducted in 2021 with rates adopted for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022 through FY 2026.
DISCUSSION:
2 The City of Watsonville engaged Raftelis to conduct a comprehensive utilities rate study covering its water, wastewater, and solid waste enterprise funds. The study encompasses three core areas of focus:
a financial plan to determine the revenue required to recover costs, a cost-of-service analysis to ensure an objective and proportional allocation of costs across customer classes, and rate design to achieve cost-justified recovery by user class. As utility enterprise funds, these services are not supported by the general fund or taxes—customer rates serve as the primary revenue source—and the study is structured to comply with the substantive requirements of Proposition 218, which mandate among other things that charges reflect the proportional cost of service attributable to each parcel.
The goals of the rate study are to develop self-sustaining enterprise funds, that allow for generational reinvestment in utility infrastructure, through fair and cost-based rates.
Financial Plan
The purpose of the Financial Plan is to ascertain the revenue needs of each utility based on estimated costs. Understanding the financial resources required over the next 10 years is critical to managing and planning for the future, as well as to avoid drastic rate fluctuations year to year. To determine the revenue required to provide service over the next 10 years for each of the three utilities, operations and maintenance budgets as well as a capital improvement plan were prepared using current information and informed estimates to forecast changes in costs over time. The financial plan also considers financial goals and policies for operating and capital reserve targets; as well as debt coverage and debt capacity for external borrowing required for capital projects.
The study's results cover the five fiscal years from FY 2027 (beginning July 1, 2026) through FY 2031 (July 1, 2030). The recommended annual rate revenue adjustments are as follows:
Water: 5% annually (FY 2027-2031)
Wastewater: 16% in FY 2027, 12% in FY 2028, and 6% annually thereafter (FY 2029-2031) Solid Waste: 2% annually (FY 2027-2031)
Water
The City's water system faces several significant cost pressures that necessitate rate adjustments. The most critical driver is compliance with California's forthcoming Chromium-6 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), which will require substantial capital investment in treatment infrastructure to meet new drinking water standards. Beyond this regulatory mandate, the water system is experiencing the cumulative effects of inflation on operations and maintenance costs and the ongoing need to rehabilitate and replace aging infrastructure. These pressures, combined with the need to maintain adequate reserve fund balances, form the basis for the proposed 5% annual adjustments over the fiveyear study period.
Wastewater
3 The wastewater utility requires two major generational projects at the Wastewater Treatment Plant: the rehabilitation of the Headworks Facility and the replacement of the Cogeneration System at the Water Pollution Control Facility. The funding strategy emphasizes fiscal responsibility by leveraging external financing—approximately $37 million in State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans for the headworks project and roughly $20 million in financing for the cogeneration project—to spread costs over time, promote intergenerational equity across ratepayers, and to minimize rate increases to the greatest extent practicable. These are aging, critical assets whose failure would significantly impair the City's ability to treat wastewater in compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. In addition, the system must address broader inflationary cost increases across labor, chemicals, and energy, as well as ongoing regulatory compliance requirements. To avoid rate shock while funding these investments responsibly, the City proposes utilizing external financing, spreading costs across current and future ratepayers who will benefit from the improved infrastructure. The proposed adjustments reflect a front-loaded schedule of 16% in Year 1, 12% in Year 2, and 6% in Years 3 through 5 to align revenue with the project financing timeline.
Solid Waste
The solid waste system's cost drivers are centered on two primary factors: compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383, California's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act, and the effects of inflation on service delivery costs. SB 1383 mandates a 75% reduction in the landfill disposal of organic waste from 2014 levels, requiring the City to invest in organic waste diversion programs, infrastructure, and outreach. At the same time, rising costs for fuel, labor, equipment maintenance, and disposal fees continue to place upward pressure on the solid waste enterprise fund. The proposed 2% annual adjustment over the fiveyear study period is designed to keep pace with these cost increases while maintaining the financial sustainability of the fund.
Cost of Service & Rate Design
The purpose of Cost of Service analyses is to allocate costs among different customer classes, such as residential, non-residential, and others, based on their proportional use of the water, wastewater, and solid waste systems. Through a technical approach, total costs are apportioned based on characteristics like water demand for water rates, wastewater generation based on flow and strength for wastewater rates, and collection frequency, container size, and service type for solid waste rates, as well as customer costs among others. This ensures fair and cost-justified rates for all City users across the different customer classes and utility services. The study also includes a wastewater cost-of-service analysis, the first since 2015, to ensure that all wastewater customers are equitably charged for their use of the utility. No structural changes to the existing rate structures are proposed.
Proposed Rates
The proposed increases of 2% for solid waste, 5% for water, and 6% to 16% for wastewater service represent the increases necessary to sustain the enterprises in total. The actual percentage increase experienced by individual customers varies based on the results of the cost of service which considers customer class, water use, wastewater generation, and other user characteristics.
