1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: FIELD SERVICES SUPERVISOR MORENO-RAMIREZ
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH HOPE SERVICES INC.

FOR THE LITTER ABATEMENT SERVICES TO AMEND THE DAILY BILLING RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 26/27, AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO

APPROVE ANY FUTURE RATE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BILLING RATE FOR

THE REMAINING TE
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the First Amendment to Contract with Hope Services Inc. for the Litter Abatement and Other Miscellaneous Beautification services and amending the daily billing rate for fiscal year 26/27, authorize and direct City Manager to execute the amendment, and authorize City Manager to approve any additional billing rate adjustments for the remainder of the term of the existing contract.

BACKGROUND:

On May 14, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 76-24 (CM) approving contract with Hope Services, Inc., for the Litter Abatement and Other Miscellaneous Beautification services, in an amount not to exceed $260,208, for a three-year period ending on June 30, 2027.

Hope Services Inc. conducts debris and litter abatement efforts 4x per week at various sites throughout the City, including the downtown area, miscellaneous sidewalks and walkways leading to public schools, Ramsay Park, Harkins Slough Trails, the area adjacent to Cabrillo College, various parking lots and the City Plaza bordered by Main Street and Union Street. Additionally, weekly litter abatement will also occur at the following locations: Main Street from East Lake Avenue to Lincoln Street, Main Street from Riverside Drive to Green Valley Road, and Riverside Drive from Blackburn Street to Harvest Drive.

2 DISCUSSION:

Hope Services Inc. proposes to increase the daily billing rate from $417 per day to $441 per day to account for the increase in the minimum wage in the State of California. The proposed change in the daily billing rate makes no changes to the scope of work, and no changes to the contract compensation, as there are adequate funds remaining in the contract.

Per § 3-5.170 of the Municipal code provides that all contract changes shall reasonably relate to the scope of the original contract and be based on post-award information that requires modification of the contract based on unforeseen conditions or by mutual agreement of the parties and must return to the original signing authority. Therefore, staff recommend approving the First Amendment to Contract with Hope Services Inc.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution approving First Amendment to Contract for the Litter Abatement and Other Miscellaneous Beautification Services does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, the adoption of a Resolution approving the First Amendment to Contract with Hope Services Inc. for Litter Abatement and Other Miscellaneous Beautification services 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.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action supports the following Strategic Plan Goal(s):

Community Engagement & Well-being
Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact in approving the First Amendment to Contract. The contract is allocated to budget account #0150-512-7361, which has sufficient funds for fiscal year 26/27.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: WASTEWATER DIVISION MANAGER TELLEZ
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BULK CHEMICAL CONTRACT FOR SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE USED IN WATER RECYCLING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025- 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution to approve adding additional funds in the amount of $16,796.33 to the Univar Solutions USA LLC contract for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite used in water recycling treatment processes, making the total amount of the contract $241,796.33 for Fiscal Year 2025 2026; and direct the City Manager to execute the amended contract.

BACKGROUND:

Various chemicals in bulk quantities are used in wastewater treatment processes, and sodium hypochlorite (“hypochlorite”) is one such chemical used in the production of recycled water. Additional chemicals are required to be purchased before the end of the fiscal year, requiring the amendment of the existing contract.

DISCUSSION:

Proper wastewater treatment practices protect Watsonville’s public health and environment and ensure the City’s obligations under its many environmental permits. Various chemicals in bulk quantities are used in wastewater treatment processes, and hypochlorite is one such chemical. Hypochlorite is used to clean the disc filters at the Recycled Water Facility, and to maintain a slight chlorine residual in the treated water delivered to the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA).

2 On June 24, 2025, City Council awarded a contract to Univar Solutions USA, LLC. in the amount of $225,000 for the purchase and delivery of sodium hypochlorite with Resolution 169-25 (CM). Additional sodium hypochlorite is required to complete the fiscal year, which will exceed the not-to-exceed compensation amount of the contract.

Therefore, staff recommends that a first contract amendment in the amount of $16,796.33 be approved by Council so that the necessary sodium hypochlorite needed to continue treatment of recycled water through the end of the fiscal year can be purchased.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

No additional California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review is required for the Contract Amendment with Univar solutions USA LLC. On June 24, 2025, the City Council declared the purchase and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite, as exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(5), as it does not meet CEQA’s definition of a project. Executing a First Amendment to the contract does not create any new or significant potential impacts that were not previously analyzed. Further, the approval of the First Amendment to Contract for purchase and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite, 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.

Therefore, no additional CEQA action is required.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This contract is consistent with Strategic Plan Priority:
2 – Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funds for this contract will be available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Wastewater Utility Enterprise, Water Recycling Operations and Maintenance budget, account code 0710-532-7551. These expenses are reimbursed by the PVWMA on a quarterly basis.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PROJECT MANAGER HERRERA
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT TO MESITI-MILLER ENGINEERING, INC. FOR ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE LEE ROAD TRAIL PHASE 2 PROJECT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $832,000
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a contract to Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. for professional engineering services for the Lee Road Trail Phase 2 project, in the amount of $832,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Lee Road Trail project is part of the City of Watsonville Trails and Bicycle Master Plan for the Watsonville Scenic Trails Network. The project will be constructed in three phases. Council awarded a construction contract for the Lee Road Trail Phase 1 project at its December 2, 2025, meeting and the project is under construction. The Phase 2 Trail Design grant funds were appropriated on January 13, 2026.

This grant is in the amount of $1.068M and a notice to proceed to design was issued on May 22, 2026.

The Phase 3 Trail segment is currently not funded but is 65% complete in design.

The Phase 2 segment will be an extension of the Lee Road Trail Phase 1 project and will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to travel on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) easement, over Struve Slough and south to the existing pedestrian trail at Watsonville Slough. Phase 2 is a 0.5-mile trail, that includes a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Struve Slough. When constructed, Phase 3 will extend south along Lee Road to connect to the future Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic (Rail) Trail and the western city boundary.

2 During the environmental planning phase of the entire Lee Road Trail project, the city hired Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. (MME) to design 65% plans. This partial design provided sufficient information to the environmental group to discuss impacts and mitigations for this project.

The California State Coastal Conservancy (CSCC) is very interested in this project and has funded the cost to complete the design of Lee Road Trail Phase 2.

DISCUSSION:

MME provided the city with a proposal to continue designing the Lee Road Trail Phase 2 project.

The proposal includes completion of construction plans, additional geotechnical investigations, peer review for constructability and project management.

MME is part of the Public Works Engineering On-Call Consultant list that was advertised on June 4, 2024, and this firm was selected as the most qualified due to their completion of the 65% plans. An earlier grant that the city secured from the CSCC assisted in funding preparation of the 65% plans.

The project scope is to design a 940-foot-long pedestrian and bicycle bridge that crosses Struve Slough; install an 8’ wide pedestrian and bicycle trail where the Phase 1 Trail terminates and bridge begins; design new concrete sidewalk and bike lanes on Lee Road between Struve Slough and Watsonville Slough; and design a retaining wall and swale on the north side of the bridge.

The work includes Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis, Soil Analysis, Structural Calculations for the bridge, Structural Peer Review and Constructability Peer Review.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The Council finds that awarding a contract for the design of the Lee Road Trail Phase 2 to Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc. is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because approving a design contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (a), as it does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project”. Further, the approval of the contract for the design of the Lee Road Trail Phase 2 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 Council further finds that, on March 12, 2021, the County adopted a mitigated negative declaration for the Lee Road Trail project, including Phase 2, based on an Initial Study, finding no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant impact on the environment. No substantial changes involving new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects are proposed in the design scope. Therefore, nothing further is required under CEQA.

3 STRATEGIC PLAN:

The project addresses the following Strategic Plan:

Infrastructure & Environment
Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total cost for the design of the Lee Road Trail Phase 2 project is $832,000. The breakdown is the following:

Design of Plans $756,879.00
Additional Services (contingency) $ 75,121.00
Total $832,000.00
The project is currently funded with CSCC Grant funds in the amount of $1,068,300.00 (CIP 260-338-7361- 11113). The Design Phase of this project is fully funded, and the contract can be awarded to Mesiti-Miller Engineering, Inc.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

Re: Lee Road Trail Phase 2 - 90% and 100% Design Proposal MME Project No: 18196-3
Dear Mr. Fontes,
Thank you for asking MME to provide your engineering services, accordingly we have prepared the following proposal for your review. We have over 30 years of civil and structural engineering experience and look forward to working with you.

Project Understanding
Lee Road Trail consists of three phases organized by trail segment. This project consists of preparing the final design for the second phase of Lee Road Trail. Final design is to be completed by December 31, 2027. Phase 2 is approximately 0.5 miles long and starts at Watsonville Slough Farm, crosses Struve Slough and concludes one block south of the Slough on Lee Road. Phase 2 includes the following features as described in the 65% Draft Plans:
 New 940 foot long pedestrian and bicycle bridge that crosses Struve Slough.

The proposed bridge is a five span pre-fabricated pre-engineered steel truss bridge supported on (Caltrans) Type II pile shaft foundations.  New 8 foot wide pedestrian and bicycle trail consisting of concrete and pervious concrete from Watsonville Slough Farm to Struve Slough.  New 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk and two asphalt bike lanes on Lee Road between Struve Slough and Watsonville Slough. The southbound bike lane is 8 feet wide and the northbound bike lane is 5 feet wide.
 New retaining walls and swales in the vicinity of the north bridge abutment.

Project construction cost was estimated to be $12 million in 2024. Final cost will vary depending on final design, final schedule, utility relocation, year of construction, and construction cost indices.

Our work will generally include the engineering services to prepare construction documents including plans, specifications and estimates for use in competitive bidding and construction of this project.

Scope of Work for Geotechnical Investigation
Lee Road Trail Project
Watsonville, California

SCOPE OF WORK
As requested, PARIKH will conduct a geotechnical investigation and develop geotechnical recommendations for the proposed five-span bridge over Struve Slough as part of the Lee Road Trail Project, located in Watsonville, California. Based on the information provided, the planned bridge is about 940 feet long and about 12 feet wide. The superstructure consists of five bowstring spans. Please note that PARIKH is not responsible for other components of the project, such as retaining walls, pavement, or earthworks.

In the bridge vicinity, five (5) borings and one (1) cone penetration test (CPT) were performed by Pacific Crest Engineering Inc. (Pacific Crest), which are summarized below:

Exploration Explored Depth Note
CPT-1 76’ Soft, highly organic peat and liquefiable soils B-1 51.5’ Liquefiable soils
B-3 51.5’ Soft, highly organic peat and liquefiable soils B-4 26.5’
B-7 (draft) 126’ Soft, highly organic peat
B-8 (draft) 126’ Soft, highly organic peat
Based on the available data, supplemental explorations and laboratory testing are considered necessary for the final design of the bridge structure. The detailed scope of work and assumptions for the cost estimate are discussed below:

Task 1.1 Data Review
PARIKH will review the Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Pacific Crest, dated September 4, 2020. In addition, PARIKH will review the published geologic maps and available as-built boring data and other Agency records, if any, in the project vicinity.

Task 1.2 Permits and Utility Clearances
Permits: PARIKH will obtain a drilling permit from the Environmental Health Department of Santa Cruz County for the supplemental explorations.

Per discussions with the team, it is assumed that encroachment permits or right-ofentry will be provided by the design team or the City to perform the geotechnical field explorations at no cost, i.e., the permit application fees are not included in the cost estimate or can be reimbursed at cost.

Utility Clearance: PARIKH’s field engineer will mark the boring and CPT locations and contact Underground Service Alert (USA) for utility clearance. A private utility locator is EXHIBIT "A"
11 OF 35

PARIKH Consultants, Inc. PR 5702
March 26, 2026
not included as part of the scope. Removal of USA markings is not included in the scope.

Task 1.3 Field Exploration
Based on the proposed improvements and the available data, we have planned two borings, including one boring to 225 feet (with shear wave velocity measurements) and one boring to 150 feet, for scoping and cost estimate purposes.

Traffic controls will not be required for these two borings. It is assumed that a truckmounted drill rig can be used at both locations. Cuttings will be drummed and removed by the driller. It is assumed that the borings will be grouted using neat cement. The pavement, if disturbed, will be restored with a cold AC patch.

The drilling cost was estimated assuming 8-hour work shifts and will be performed during day shifts. PARIKH’s field engineer will classify and log the subsurface soil and rock conditions encountered in the test boring at the time of drilling. Samples will be collected for laboratory testing.

Please note that the actual locations of the explorations will be determined based on the site conditions due to access or utility conflicts.

Task 1.4 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests will be performed on representative soil and rock samples, such as moisture contents, densities, plasticity index (basic soil characteristics), corrosion tests (pH, sulfate, chloride, and resistivity), and strength tests as deemed necessary.

Task 1.5 Soils Analysis/Evaluation
We expect the following engineering analyses to be required for the proposed improvements:
• Due to the presence of soft peaty soils, site-specific Dynamic Ground Response Analyses (DGRA) will be required to develop the design ARS curves per Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, “Site-Specific Dynamic Ground Response Analysis” Module, dated March 2022 and Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria (SDC v2.1). It is our understanding that ground motion time histories are not required and are not included in the scope, as non-linear time history analyses (NLTHA) are not anticipated.

EXHIBIT "A"
12 OF 35

PARIKH Consultants, Inc. PR 5702
March 26, 2026
• Seismic hazards (liquefaction potential).
• Foundation design, i.e., axial capacity for the proposed deep foundations. It is assumed that the design will follow Caltrans standards, and a Pile Data Table will be developed based on the Foundation Design data provided by the structural engineer.
• Development of geotechnical parameters for LPILE analyses, including the soil type (p-y curve types) and the associated soil properties. It is assumed that the structural engineer will perform the LPILE analyses.
• Slope stability evaluation at the abutments.
• Settlement analyses.
• Lateral earth pressures for the abutment walls.
• Corrosion potential.

Task 1.6 Draft Foundation Report
PARIKH will prepare one draft Foundation Report, in general accordance with Caltrans report guidelines, to present the findings of the field explorations and the geotechnical recommendations for the bridge foundations. The report will discuss the foundation types based on the geotechnical conditions and from a constructability standpoint.

The design recommendations will be developed based on the available data conducted by Pacific Crest and the results from the supplemental geotechnical explorations. It is assumed that the raw digital data of CPT-1 will be provided by Pacific Crest for further evaluation, and the report, including Borings B-7 and B-8, will be finalized with laboratory test results.

The pile design will be performed per Caltrans standards and developed based on the design demands provided by the structural engineers.

The boring logs will be edited based on the field logs and the laboratory test results.

The log of test borings (LOTB) sheets will be prepared based on Caltrans standards, “Soil and Rock Logging, Classification, and Presentation.” The laboratory data will also be included as part of the report.

Task 1.7 Final Foundation Report
The report will be updated based on the review comments and design updates during the final design phase.

Task 1.8 Design Review and Meetings
PARIKH will provide design reviews through the final design and attend meetings. A total of 16 hours is assumed as part of the scope for scoping and cost estimate purposes.

Deliverable: One Foundation Report, draft and final.

RE: Proposed Scope of Work for Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses for the Lee Road Phase 2 Bridge Design (100%) over Struve Slough, City of Watsonville, California Dear Rodney :

Thank you again for contacting Balance Hydrologics (Balance) regarding the opportunity to assist in the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses associated with the Lee Road Phase 2 Bridge Design (100%) over Struve Slough (Project) in City of Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, California.

Our understanding is that the Project will require our assistance in summarizing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses associated with the Project and guidance on culvert sizing and road elevations associated with the temporary road and dewatering plan. We plan to pursue an efficient and focused work plan. This letter summarizes that work plan, the associated tasks, as well as the proposed level of effort and budget to produce the desired deliverables.

Work Plan
Task 1. Backgrounding and Data Review. Time in this task is allotted for collecting and reviewing relevant documentation and data for the project, including the 2020 30% design letter report, associated RAS modeling, and the 65% design drawings.

Task 2. Update Letter Report. Balance will update the 2020 letter report to be in line with the 65% design drawings. If necessary, and assuming changes to the design are minimal, we will update the letter report based on the subsequent 90% and 100% design drawings. The report will meet Caltrans documentation standards. Time in this task is allocated to respond to one round of City comments and one round of revisions on the letter report.

For Task 2, we assume no additional hydraulic modeling will be required beyond what has already been done in 2020 and no major design changes have occurred between the 30% and 65% designs. We also assume that major design changes that require modeling are not anticipated for the subsequent 90% and EXHIBIT "A"

100% designs. If deemed necessary, Balance can conduct additional hydraulic modeling under a separate authorization.

Deliverable: Final signed letter report summarizing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses related to the bridge design.

Task 3. Temporary Road and Dewatering Plan. Balance will review the temporary road and dewatering plan and make recommendations for culvert sizes and road elevations based on the 2020 hydraulic model results of Struve slough. Time in this task covers preparation of a brief technical memorandum (TM).

This TM will summarize the findings of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses associated with the temporary road and dewatering plan. Time in this task is allocated to respond to one round of City comments and one round of revisions of the TM.

Deliverable: Technical memorandum associated with the temporary road and dewatering plan.

Task 5. Project Management and Communication. A modest budget has been included to account for time spent communicating with you and within the team regarding this scope of work, contracting requirements, and reporting on project progress.

Proposed Budget and Schedule
The anticipated cost for completing the work plan is summarized in the attached Table 1.

We suggest billing on a time and materials basis not to exceed this value without your prior authorization.

Staff schedules can be coordinated to begin work within one week of receiving a signed contract.

Good morning Jeff,
I spoke with Badger who will be doing the potholing. They said they do not set up hubs for a survey crew. You had mentioned it is more expensive for the survey crew to be out there at the same time as the potholing crew. Could you provide us with an estimate for this? Badger expects this to be a two day job.

Lee Road Pedestrian Bridge over Struve Slough
Santa Cruz County, California
Dear Mr. Moore,
Crawford & Associates, Inc. (Crawford) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide geotechnical peer review services for the Lee Road Pedestrian Bridge over Struve Slough project in Santa Cruz County, California. We understand at this time, the proposed bridge consists of a 950 ft long, 5 span prefabricated steel superstructure with single column bents supported on Type II cast-in-drilled-hole piles. Additionally, we understand that a site-specific evaluation is currently under development due to poor soils encountered along the bridge alignment.

Scope of Services
Crawford will complete a limited/general peer review of the draft project plans developed by MME Civil + Structural Engineering and draft Foundation Report prepared by the geotechnical consultant for the project.

The peer review will be with respect to the geotechnical elements of the project design and an evaluation of constructability of the proposed foundation types. Crawford assumes a peer review role and will not be directly responsible for site review, investigation, laboratory testing, analyses, or recommendations.

Crawford will use the existing boring data, laboratory test data and seismic design data currently provided in the draft Foundation Report to evaluate the geotechnical project elements. No additional field exploration, drilling, laboratory testing, or engineering analysis is proposed/included for this review.

Crawford will provide peer review comments via email that summarize the results of our review and evaluation from the available project documents. Revised/alternative geotechnical recommendations will be presented if/as needed based on the results of our evaluation. Allowance is also made for one meeting to review/discuss the conclusions of the peer review.

For the scope of geotechnical peer review services outlined above, we estimate a fee of approximately $5,775 based on Principal and Project Manager II level peer review requiring approximately two days (5 hours at $275/hour for Principal and 16 hours at $245/hr for Project Manager II review) and 4 hours of Administration Staff at $120/hr. Our 2026 Standard Fee Schedule is attached.

Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions regarding our brief scope.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO ANDERSON PACIFIC ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE WWTF INFLUENT
CHANNEL CONCRETE REPAIR PROJECT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $229,900 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) Influent Channel Concrete Repair Project, in the amount of $229,900.00, and authorize and direct City Manager to execute the same.

BACKGROUND:

Bids have been received and opened, and the results have been analyzed and tabulated by the Purchasing Officer, with a recommendation from the City Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, which requires Council action.

DISCUSSION:

At the May 25, 2026, Council Meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 93-26 (CM) authorizing the call for bids for the WWTF Influent Channel Concrete Repair Project. The project was publicly released on May 29, 2026, with electronic bid submissions due June 25, 2026, at 3:00 pm through the City’s online procurement portal, OpenGov.

A mandatory prebid meeting was held on June 9, 2026, for which five potential bidders attended. A total of three bids were received prior to the bid submission deadline, and the results are tabulated below:

2 Contractor Bid Total
Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction $229,900
Edward R. Bacon Company $274,000
Euro Style Management $277,000
Listed Subcontractors:

Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction: National Coating & Lining Edward R. Bacon Company: None.

Euro Style Management: None.

The lowest responsive, responsible bidder was determined to be Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction. Staff therefore recommends that Council award a contract and direct City Manager to execute a contract with Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc., in the amount of $229,900 for the construction of the WWTF Influent Channel Concrete Repair Project.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

In the same Council Resolution 93-26 (CM) that authorized the call for bids for the project, Council determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (b), because it involves the repair of existing equipment in an existing publicly-owned utility system involving negligible or no expansion of capacity; and none of the exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply because there are no unusual circumstances associated with the project that would result in a significant effect on the environment, nor would the project impact scenic or historic resources. Therefore, no further CEQA action is required to award the project.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project is consistent with strategic plan goal:

Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This project is necessary ahead of the large WWTF Headworks and Influent Pump Station Project planned to bid later this year as it will tie-in to this location. There is sufficient budget to cover the $229,900 contract amount in budget account 911-7855-14410 in the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

3 No reasonable alternatives are known at this time. The project is necessary, and a reasonable bid has been received from a responsible contractor.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: Recreation Services Manager Merolla
RECOMMENDED BY: DEPUTY CITY MANAGER CALUBAQUIB
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH PVUSD FOR

AFTERSCHOOL AND INTERSESSION PROGRAMMING, IN AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $735,297
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Independent Contractor Agreement for Non-Construction Services with Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) for provision of afterschool and intersession programming through the District’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) for fiscal year 2026-2027, in an amount not to exceed $735,297 and directing the City Manager to execute the same.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Watsonville has a long-standing history of supporting youth development through programs that foster academic enrichment, physical activity, and social-emotional growth. Recognizing the ongoing need for such support beyond regular school hours, the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) has identified a demand for high-quality afterschool and intersession programming at its school sites. To address this need, PVUSD has allocated $735,297 for the 2026–2027 academic year to fund these services. With the capacity and experience to deliver effective youth programs, the City, through its Parks and Community Services Department, is well-positioned to implement these initiatives. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to educational equity, student well-being, and community collaboration.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed partnership between the City of Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) will enable the delivery of a wide range of high-quality programs designed to support students

2 beyond the regular school day. These offerings include after-school sports programming, which promotes physical health and teamwork; after-school STEM programming, which enhances academic engagement and critical thinking skills; and Camp WOW, which provides enriching experiences on Saturdays, during summer, and intersession breaks. Collectively, these programs aim to create safe, structured, and supportive environments where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

By leveraging the City’s expertise in youth programming and PVUSD’s commitment to student success, this collaboration addresses a critical need for expanded learning opportunities and supports the broader goals of community well-being and educational equity.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Economic Development: By supporting working families with reliable afterschool and intersession care, the program helps parents remain in the workforce, contributing to the local economy and economic stability.

Fiscal Health: Leveraging over $700,000 in external funding from PVUSD demonstrates fiscal responsibility by bringing additional resources into the City without relying solely on municipal funds, supporting services that benefit residents.

Public Safety: Providing structured, supervised environments during out-of-school hours reduces the likelihood of youth involvement in risky or unsupervised activities, promoting overall community safety.

Community Engagement & Well-being: These programs directly foster social-emotional learning, physical activity, and academic support, promoting youth well-being and offering families meaningful ways to engage with their community.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

All costs associated with these services will be paid entirely by PVUSD. Revenue and Expenditures will be applied as follows:
 Revenue
o 150-683-5249-00000: $66,846.00
o 260-337-5890-09050: $668,451.00

3  Expenditures
o 260-337-7011-09050: $125,337.00
o 260-337-7021-09050: $378,070.00
o 260-337-7533-09050: $165,044.00
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The Council could not approve this Resolution, and programming services with PVUSD would cease, significantly limiting the number of youth able to participate in these enrichment opportunities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that contracting with Pajaro Valley School District for the Afterschool and Intersession Programming does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is 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.

2. That the Independent Contractor Agreement for Non-Construction Services between the City of Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD), for Enrichment Programming through the District’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program for FY 26-27, in an amount not to exceed $735,297, a copy of which Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby approved.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: POLICE CAPTAIN RADICH
RECOMMENDED BY: POLICE CHIEF SHAB
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF TWO (2) NEW PATROL VEHICLES FROM WATSONVILLE FORD; AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$127,201.29
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of two (2) new patrol vehicles in the amount of $127,201.29.

BACKGROUND:

The Police Department has an aging fleet, about half of which has exceeded its anticipated service life.

New patrol vehicles have been challenging to acquire due to high nationwide demand and limited availability.

DISCUSSION:

The two (2) new patrol vehicles would replace two (2) decommissioned patrol vehicles that were taken out of service early to save on high repair costs; one (1) vehicle (PD17) has a blown engine, and the other vehicle (PD30) has an excess of 140,000 miles on it, with ongoing mechanical issues.

Watsonville Ford has two (2) new 2026 Ford Police Interceptor SUVs that are ready for immediate delivery.

Watsonville Ford is a Sourcewell vendor for Ford Police Vehicles (Contract #081325-NAF).

The Police Department recommends the purchase of two (2) new patrol vehicles, to replace the two decommissioned patrol vehicles which need to be replaced. Operationally, the department cannot continue to run two (2) patrol vehicles short, especially as the department’s sworn staffing situation continues to improve.

2 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

Approving the purchase of two (2) new 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Sport Utility Vehicles, does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project”, because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The purchase of these patrol vehicles is budgeted within the FY26/27 General Fund – Police Vehicle Replacement (Account #150-901-7805-15236).

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may choose to forego this purchase at this time, but the department will continue to run two (2) patrol vehicles short operationally.

1. Adopting a Resolution approving the purchase of two (2) new 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Sport Utility Vehicles, does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project”, because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

3. That the Council hereby authorizes the purchase of two (2) new 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Sport Utility Vehicles, through the purchasing authority of Sourcewell, through Sourcewell Contract #081325-NAF, in an amount not to exceed $127,201.29, funded by the General Fund (account #150-901-7805-15236). ************************************

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE DIVISION MANAGER RIOS RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH

WATSONVILLE WETLANDS WATCH FOR TRAIL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE,

VEGETATION, NATIVE HABITAT MANAGEMENT, AND ENCAMPMENT

DETERRENCE ASSISTANCE SERVICES, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $282,000
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving a sole source contract with Watsonville Wetlands Watch for the trail system maintenance, vegetation and native habitat management, and encampment deterrence services, in an amount not to exceed $282,000 over a three-year term, and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute the same.

BACKGROUND:

Watsonville Wetlands Watch possesses extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the Watsonville Slough System and has partnered with the City of Watsonville for many years to successfully implement trail system maintenance, encampment deterrence assistance services, and a wide range of conservation, habitat restoration, and environmental education initiatives.

As the only locally based organization with the specialized expertise, established community partnerships, and institutional knowledge required to provide these unique services, Watsonville Wetlands Watch is well-qualified to support the City's trail and wetland management objectives. Their deep understanding of local wetland ecosystems, regulatory requirements, and ongoing stewardship efforts enable them to effectively advance the City's environmental compliance, habitat enhancement, public access, and longterm sustainability goals.

2 DISCUSSION:

The objective of this maintenance contract is to improve the safety, accessibility, and environmental quality of the Watsonville trail system through targeted vegetation and habitat management. The project will address trail conditions that affect public safety by reducing overgrown vegetation, and areas that have become conducive to unauthorized encampments and informal gathering locations adjacent to trails.

Because the trail management areas contain environmentally sensitive resources, all work will be conducted using environmentally appropriate practices that are consistent with the management standards of the broader Watsonville trail network. Vegetation management activities will be designed to enhance natural habitats, improve trail visibility and usability, reduce wildfire risk, and minimize conditions that support encampments while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.

This contract will complement the ongoing vegetation and wetland management services provided by the Watsonville Wetlands Watch under its existing agreement with the City. Coordination between these efforts will help ensure environmental compliance and support long-term stewardship of the City's trail and wetland resources to promote trail safety, environmental health, and public access.

 Year 2 (2027–2028): $94,000
 Year 3 (2028–2029): $95,000

EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Watsonville Wetland Trails System Maintenance, Vegetation and Native Habitat Management, Encampment Deterrence,
Minimization, Clean-up Services
Under the direction of the City of Watsonville Public Works and Utilities Department, Watsonville Wetlands Watch (BL 8113) proposes to conduct trail maintenance and native plant and habitat restoration services consistent with the Watsonville Wetlands Trail System Vegetation Management and Maintenance Manual and in accordance with the purpose and work plan specified below. In coordination with this work, Watsonville Wetlands Watch proposes to conduct vegetation management within the trails system and adjacent areas to support City of Watsonville goals related to encampment deterrence, minimization, and clean-up efforts. This work will support City goals aligned with this work related to vegetation management of surrounding and adjacent areas as detailed within this scope of services.

I. Trail System Vegetation and Native Habitat Management Objective: The objective of this project is to ensure that the trails are maintained in a safe, usable, and well-kept condition while improving the environmental conditions and natural habitats of the trail system. The Watsonville Wetlands Trail System and natural habitats will be managed in coordination with the overall slough system so as to provide continuity between management approaches, utilize and leverage best practices, research, and scientific monitoring and adaptive management across the watershed.

Scope of Services: Watsonville Wetlands Watch will provide labor, supervision, coordination, and execution of maintenance and restoration activities throughout the areas represented in the Watsonville wetlands trail system. This work includes:

1. Trail maintenance and restoration services.

2. Monitor conditions of the trail through weekly inspections

3. Assist in responding to maintenance for the trail system pertaining to those items raised by thepublic.

4. Assist the City with maintenance of trail tread and trail edges, vegetation clearance, drainage structures, and special structures as defined in the Trail Maintenance Specifications.

5. Provide assistance to the City responding to questions and concerns about trail maintenanceissues raised by property owners adjacent to the trails.

6. Management of native and non-native habitat, including, but not limited to:
enhancement of native vegetation resources, control of invasive species, planting of native plants, and maintenance of plantings, so as to meet the project purpose, as specified above.

7. Installation, coordination, and maintenance of irrigation as needed to maintain and enhance native vegetation resources.

8. Coordination and management of volunteers, including residents of the City of Watsonville and surrounding communities, local school groups, and weekend volunteers.

9. Wetland restoration monitoring and reporting as required for performance monitoring evaluation, habitat restoration planning, and EXHIBIT "A"

successmonitoring.

10. Coordination with City of Watsonville staff on on-going project needs.

11. Procurement of materials and supplies needed to maintain thetrails.

12. Development and coordination of special projects and wetland restoration demonstration opportunities.

13. Supervision of project staff and/or contract labor
Trail Maintenance Specifications:

4.1 Trail Tread Maintenance
'
Maintaining the proper tread on the trails is important for the long-term viability of the trail as well as the trail user experience. As trail tread and surface degrade, tread and surface should be restored to the original design condition. Any rock points, stumps, and roots protruding from the trail surface should be removed. All holes should be filled to create an obstacle-free tread. Maintaining a proper out slope is critical to the long-term condition of the trail. As vegetation encroaches on the trail surface from the adjacent vegetated areas, this vegetation should be removed and the trail restored to its original width. Cracks which develop within the trail surface should be removed by filling with an appropriate agent, such as crushed gravel of an appropriate size. Trail resurfacing will be performed by the City as required with the assistance of the consultant.

4.2 Vegetation Clearance Maintenance
Dense trail-side vegetation can limit visibility for trail users and create safety concerns, and limit access for trail maintenance equipment. All plants encroaching on the vegetation clearance limits of the trail must be cut back. Trail-side vegetation that limits visibility, provides a place for un-safe hangouts, or creates an actual or perceived safety concern for trail users, must be removed. All plants growing within the trail tread must be grubbed-out or otherwise removed. Vegetation that creates an excess fuel load near or within a residential, industrial, or commercial development, or otherwise presents a fuel load concern should be cleared prior to July 1 each year.

4.3 Drainage Maintenance
Special attention should be directed to the maintenance of drainage structures.

These structures are extremely important in protecting the trail from erosion. If they are not maintained properly, the trail will be prone to erosion and may become unsafe for public use and require extensive amounts of labor to repair. Drainage maintenance structures include culverts and their inlet and outlet structures, berms and retention basins. The consultant will monitor the drainage system and provide recommendations to the City. The drainage maintenance will be performed by the City as required with the assistance of the consultant.

4.4 Special Structure Maintenance
Structures such as retaining walls, water bars, bridges, etc. are rather expensive and labor intensive to construct. Proper maintenance will prolong the life of the structures and help prevent safety hazards. The consultant will annually inspect and maintain the structures as needed with the assistance of the City. All repairs to special structures must be restored to their original standard construction EXHIBIT "A"

specification. In addition to the scope of services above, further projects may be developed, as needed, by the Watsonville Wetlands Watch Restoration Director and Trails Restoration Specialist in coordination with City of Watsonville staff. This may include further development of integrated services in cooperation with partnering agencies and entities to enhance restoration, environmental management, and community service opportunities in the City of Watsonville wetlands system.

Monitoring and Environmental Compliance Reporting
Watsonville Wetlands Watch will provide an annual vegetation maintenance schedule annually by January 31st of each year. Watsonville Wetlands Watch will also provide an annual progress report of work completed that includes quantifiable metrics for such activities as water quality monitoring, trash removal, vegetation management for encampment removal, native plants planted, volunteer hours worked, student education programs offered and hours contributed in support of this project, and additional metrics as requested. This report will be provided to the City by September 30th of each year. Watsonville Wetlands Watch will also complete the required performance monitoring annual monitoring reports on the Upper Struve Slough Habitat and Water Quality Enhancement Project and the Middle Struve Slough Habitat and Water Quality Improvement Project, due to environmental resource agencies by May 31st of each year. In addition to performance and permit related monitoring, Watsonville Wetlands Watch will conduct an annual survey of aquatic invasive plants, in coordination with City staff, to ensure that there is no establishment of invasive species that would be detrimental to the ecology of the slough system and increase maintenance costs for the City to manage these species.

II. City of Watsonville Wetland Trails System Encampment Deterrence, Minimization, Clean-up and Vegetation
Management
Objective: The objective of this project is to ensure that the trails are safe and usable while improving the environmental conditions and natural habitats of the trail system ina manner that minimizes opportunities for encampments. The focus of this project is to improve trail conditions that affect public safety. This project will address areas where vegetation has become dense and creates unsafe conditions related to fuel load as well as homeless encampments and “hang-outs” adjacent to trails. Due to the sensitive nature of the trail management areas, the objective of this work is to manage these areas in an environmentally appropriate way consistent with that of the surrounding Watsonville trail network. The project will also EXHIBIT "A"

16. Vegetation control and abatement on City property at the discretion of City staff to reduce fuel loads and standing vegetation to meet the City’s needs related to environmental safety.

Trail Maintenance Specifications:

1.1 Vegetation Clearance Maintenance
Dense trail-side vegetation can limit visibility for trail users and create safety concerns, and limit access for trail maintenance equipment. All plants encroaching on the vegetation clearance limits of the trail must be cut back. Trail-side vegetation that limits visibility, provides a place for un-safe hangouts, or creates an actual or perceived safety concern for trail users, must be removed. Vegetation that creates an excess fuel load near or within a residential, industrial, or EXHIBIT "A" pg. 5 of 6
Docusign Envelope ID: F2409AD4-EEFB-8F1A-80A9-FB1D973E3AFC

commercial development, or otherwise presents a fuel load concern should be cleared prior to July 1 each year.

1.2 Drainage Structure Maintenance
Special attention should be directed to the maintenance of drainage structures. These structures are extremely important in protecting the trail from erosion. If they are not maintained properly, the trail will be prone to erosion and may become unsafe for public use and require extensive amounts of labor to repair. Overgrown drainage areas also create the type of area that can attract activities such as encampments and “hide-outs”. Drainage maintenance structures include culverts and their inlet and outlet structures, berms and retention basins.

1.3 Special Structure Maintenance
Structures such as retaining walls, water bars, bridges, etc. are rather expensive and labor intensive to construct. Proper maintenance will prolong the life of the structures and help prevent safety hazards. Structures should be inspected annually and maintenance performed as needed. All repairs to special structures must restorethem to their original standard construction specifications.

1.4 Vegetation Management for Public Safety
Areas where native and non-native vegetation has become so dense as to provide unsafe conditions for trail users due to the use of these areas for encampments or “hang-outs” should be managed to reduce the likelihood of such continued use of these areas. In these locations, vegetation management should be conducted in an environmentally sensitive manner. Invasive plants and trees should be removed to reduce dense vegetation, and where appropriate native trees and shrubs should be limbed up and pruned to improve line of sight and discourage use of these areas for encampment and hangout activities. Environmentally appropriate vegetation management should include, but not be limited to, clearing at appropriate times to limit impacts to nesting birds and other wildlife, pre-construction surveys prior to work to reduce the likelihood of impacts to wildlife, appropriately conducted pruning and vegetation management so as to not encourage disease within the native vegetation, coordination with any agencies deemed necessary (i.e. the California Department of Fish and Wildlife), and re-vegetation as needed with appropriate native plants to improve habitat conditions after related disturbance.

Vegetation management to enhance public safety and City priorities will be conducted in coordination with City staff and the California Conservation Corps as detailed within the schedule of performance.

WWW will also coordinate with additional contract work crews, when available, to support vegetation maintenance and management.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: POLICE CAPTAIN RADICH
RECOMMENDED BY: POLICE CHIEF SHAB
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF FEES FOR CERTAIN TOWRELATED CHARGES RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council adopt a resolution amending the schedule of fees for Class A, Class B and Class C hourly towing rates, to align with the California Highway Patrol – Santa Cruz Area’s FY2026-2027 hourly tow rates.

BACKGROUND:

The Police Department currently has three tow companies on a rotation list which are used for the removal of vehicles in the following circumstances:
• The vehicle was involved in a traffic collision, and the owner requested a tow. • Storage of vehicles at arrest scenes.
• Storage of vehicles for evidence.
• Vehicles left unattended which block roadways or pose safety hazards. • Vehicles that are determined to be abandoned.

On July 8, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 195-25 (CM) amending the schedule of fees for certain tow-related charges, which included updating the Class A (Light-Duty), Class B (Medium-Duty) and Class C (Heavy-Duty) hourly towing rates to reflect the California Highway Patrol (CHP) – Santa Cruz Area’s FY2025-2026 hourly tow rates. All other Law Enforcement Agencies in Santa Cruz County use the CHP’s annually updated hourly towing rates.

Pursuant to WMC 4-11.14 (Schedule of fees and rates), “The City Council shall by resolution establish the maximum chargeable fees and fees for each rotation request. For towing services, the permittee may charge no more than the maximum rate set by the City Council.”

2 DISCUSSION:

On July 1, 2026, the California Highway Patrol – Santa Cruz Area approved their FY2025-2026 hourly tow rates. The FY2025-2026 hourly tow rates for the CHP and Watsonville Police Department (WPD) are included below, along with the FY2026-2027 CHP rates, and the recommended WPD FY2026-2027 rates:

Towing
Class
FY25-26
CHP Hourly Rate
FY25-26
WPD Hourly Rate
FY26-27
CHP Hourly Rate
Recommended
FY26-267
WPD Hourly Rate
Class A $355-$375 $355 $380-390 $380
Class B $400-$420 $400 $435-450 $435
Class C $510 $510 $525 $525
Implementation of theses recommended hourly tow rates will continue the uniformity the City Council created on October 8, 2024 in Resolution No. 212-24 (CM), amongst the Tow Companies and Law Enforcement Agencies within Santa Cruz County. These updated FY2026-2027 CHP hourly tow rates do not exceed the reasonable cost for providing these types of services within the City of Watsonville.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The amendment to the Schedule of Fees for tow related charges is not a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as this is an administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Even if the amendment were found to be a “project,” it would qualify under the “common sense” CEQA exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with virtual certainty that this Resolution, which concerns fees charged for towing services, will not result in a significant impact on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the City/Police Department for Tow Fees collected by the Tow Companies.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may elect not to move forward with adopting a resolution to amend the Schedule of Fees for these tow-related charges at this time.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, July 7, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: AIRPORT OPERATIONS MANAGER ROSAS
RECOMMENDED BY: AIRPORT DIRECTOR WILLIAMS
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF FAA RUNWAY 2-20 PAVEMENT REMARKING AIRPORT

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT (AIP) AND CALTRANS MATCHING

GRANT AWARD BID
RECOMMENDATION:

Airport staff recommend City Council adopt a Resolution:
1) Accepting the $115,058 grant from the Department of Transportation for design, engineering, testing, and construction for the Runway 2-20 pavement remarking at the Watsonville Municipal Airport; 2) Authorize and direct the City Manager to execute Grant Agreement and all necessary documents and any amendments; and
3) Authorize and direct the City Manager to apply, and if awarded, accept execute and appropriate the Caltrans matching Grant, in the amount of $5,753.

BACKGROUND:

The Watsonville Municipal Airport intends to repaint the existing pavement markings on Runway 2-20.

The current runway markings were last painted in May 2018 but are faded and peeling, creating a safety hazard for aircraft and surface vehicles. FAA provides Airport Improvement Program funds for various airport projects. Caltrans Division of Aeronautics provides a matching grant for 5% of the FAA grant.

DISCUSSION:

2 The project would involve surface painting approximately 60,800 square feet of runway pavement to remark all existing runway markings up to the hold lines on the cross taxiways. The repainted markings will meet FAA P-620 specifications. Staging for the construction equipment and worker vehicles would occur on existing pavement near the airport operations building, and haul routes would follow the apron and taxiways onto the runway. The pavement remark activities are anticipated to take one week.

In April 2026 the Municipal Airport submitted an Airport Improvement Program Grant (AIP) application for Runway 2-20 Pavement Remarking, in the amount of $115,058. The FAA process requires a competitive bid process prior to awarding grants. Once the winning bid is selected the FAA issues the grant.

Once the FAA grant is received, the Municipal Airport will submit a Caltrans Matching Grant application in the amount of $5,753.

The total cost of the project is $121,115, consisting of $69,615 for construction, $18,000 for onsite project management/inspections, $20,000 for Design and Engineering, and $6,000 for a National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) Categorical Exclusion and $7,500 for City Administrative Costs. The grant will be used to fund the surface painting described above.

The Municipal Airport received seven competitive bids for construction on April 22, 2026, with Hi-Lite Airfield Services LLC submitting the lowest responsible bid at $69,615. While this contract amount is below the City Manager’s authorized contract threshold of $100,000, the grantor requires City Council resolution to approve the project. Therefore, the City Council is being asked to approve the contract to comply with the FAA AIP Grant and Caltrans Matching Grant.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

Design, engineering, testing, and remarking of Runway 2-20 is exempt under CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities, as the authorized actions constitute maintenance of an existing airport facility and do not expand or alter the runway’s use, capacity or footprint. None of the exceptions to a categorical exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this maintenance work. The project is also exempt under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption, because the action does not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
