OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this proclamation is to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Native Americans in the Sacramento region.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt a proclamation recognizing November 2024 as Native American Heritage Month.
BACKGROUND
The City of West Sacramento's establishment in 1987 took place in an area that indigenous people, particularly the Patwin or Southern Wintun, recognize as unceded territory. The Patwin people were forced from their ancestral lands onto rancherias in the early 1900s and are now citizens of three sovereign, federally recognized tribal governments: the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun Indians, and Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians. In 2018, the City Council voted unanimously to approve the transfer of a 43-acre riverfront property to California State Parks for the construction of a $100 million California Indian Heritage Center. In 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution to establish an official land acknowledgement, which is now read before each City Council meeting. This acknowledgment demonstrates the City's recognition of the significant role Native Americans have played in the area's history.
ANALYSIS
The City has established a government-to-government relationship with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and has collaborated on recent projects, such as the renaming of two streets to remove the offensive “sq__” term under the mandate of AB 2022. Additionally, the City commits to recognizing November as Native American Heritage Month each year and discourages the use of racial slurs, names, or imagery that depict indigenous people as mascots or logos in educational institutions, sports teams, or any other organization within the City.

The adoption of this proclamation demonstrates the City's commitment to inclusiveness not only in economic development, but also in promoting diversity within the municipal workforce and management.

WHEREAS, “Native American Heritage Month” has been established at the national and state levels with proclamations and celebrations to recognize the diverse cultures, traditions, histories, significant contributions and present day lives of Native Americans; and WHEREAS, the City of West Sacramento was established in 1987 within an area of California that represented the un-ceded territory of indigenous people known as the Patwin or Southern Wintun; and
WHEREAS, the earliest historic written records of the Patwin begin with the Spanish mission explorations and registers, and ethno-historic records show the Patwin inhabited land from the hills of the eastern North Coast Ranges to the Sacramento River, and from Princeton south to the San Pablo and Suisun bays; and
WHEREAS, like most indigenous people throughout the United States, the Patwin were forced from their ancestral lands onto reservations and rancherias during the early 1900s, where they currently reside, as citizens of three sovereign, federally recognized tribal governments, today known as the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun Indians, and Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians; and
WHEREAS, the City has a meaningful government-to-government relationship with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and works in partnership to address the needs of the community and improve the lives of people who live within their respective jurisdictions today; and WHEREAS, the City was honored to collaborate with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and local residents this year to rename two streets to replace the offensive “sq__” term as required by AB 2022; and
WHEREAS, native peoples have made and continue to make distinct and significant contributions in many fields, including academics, agriculture, art, business, education, ecology, engineering, environmentalism, forestry, government, language, leadership, literature, mathematics, medicine, music, politics, poetry, science, and traditional cultural practices; and WHEREAS, the City discourages any and all forms of racial slurs, names, or imagery that depict indigenous people as mascots or logos in educational institutions, sports teams, or any other organization within this City; and
WHEREAS, the City will encourage its citizens to acknowledge and celebrate November as Native American Heritage Month every year to foster education, relationships, and cooperation with Native people while also supporting social and economic opportunities for them within the City of West Sacramento and Yolo County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of West Sacramento does hereby recognize the month of November 2024 as “Native American Heritage Month.”

Thriving Pink, a nonprofit organization founded in 2016 in Davis, CA, has been a vital source of support for breast cancer survivors across Yolo County, including West Sacramento Thriving Pink offers services and programs free of charge, addressing critical needs from the time of diagnosis through survivorship. Programs include Pink Peer mentorship, renewal retreats, wellness and educational workshops, and financial assistance grants for those undergoing treatment. Thriving Pink’s volunteers, consisting of survivors, professionals, and community members, are dedicated to the vision that no one will face breast cancer alone.
ANALYSIS
Adopting this proclamation will underscore the City’s commitment to supporting breast cancer awareness and the vital work of Thriving Pink. By acknowledging the non-profit’s efforts and dedicating October to raising awareness, the City Council will help amplify educational and support resources for breast cancer survivors in West Sacramento.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 24-110 approving an amendment to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget and approving a contract award to Advance Design Consulting LLC, for the Community Center – South Entrance Enclosure Design Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 24-110 approving an amendment to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget; 2) Award a Contract for Services with Advance Design Consulting LLC for $54,400, which includes design services for South and North Entrance Enclosure;
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contract amendments or change orders up to 20% ($10,880) of the contract amendment value;

5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of the contract, if necessary.
BACKGROUND
Located in the City of West Sacramento, California, the West Sacramento Community Center hosts a multitude of community events, classes, and productions. The facility is also available for rent for special events. The building features a black box theatre, a state-of-the-art, flexible space with full theatrical lighting, a sound system and an 11-station dressing room. The Historical Gallery showcases high quality displays and artifacts that highlight the community’s rich and diverse history. Video screens and an interactive video station allow visitors to explore West Sacramento’s past. It is a local landmark that enhances the area’s distinctly urban character.
Currently, the Community Center is focused on increasing the security of the South entrance and ensuring there is adequate space for its activities. The center has recently experienced a high frequency of theft, vandalism, security breaches. The Noth entrance has had less concern lately but has been considered in the review and assessment. In consideration of its patrons, a secure, public-friendly enclosure has been recommended.
ANALYSIS
Upon assessing the needs of the Community Center and the associated security concerns, it was determined that a design consultant should be sought to recommend a design that addresses both the aesthetic and security needs of the Community Center and the public.
On July 23, 2024, the Capital Projects Department advertised a competitive bid package (24-041-RFP) to select a design consultant to provide design services for the Community Center South Entrance Enclosure Project.
The bid package was also posted on the City’s website and through the electronic procurement platform, OpenGov.com. At the close of the advertising period, City staff received one bid, which was opened on August 22,2024.

November 20, 2024
Rank Contractor Base Bid Amount
1 Advance Design Consulting, LLC. $54,400
After examining the contractor’s licenses, work experience, qualifications, and the proposal submitted in the complete bid package, staff determined that Advance Design Consulting, LLC is the responsive and qualified bidder, with a bid of $34,400 for the south entrance and $20,000 for the north entrance, bringing the total bid to $54,400. On this basis, staff recommends awarding the professional services contract to Advance Design Consulting, LLC.
Environmental Considerations
This is a recommendation to approve a contract for design services and therefore not a project subject to CEQA.
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Integration
Not applicable.
Alternatives
The City Council may decide to:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above;
2) Alter the recommended actions; or
3) Deny the recommended action or cancel the project.
Staff recommends that the City Council select Alternative 1. The design of the south entrance enclosure at the Community Center will create a more secure and improved facility for both the public and Community Center staff. Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in continued unsafe conditions, necessitating interventions from the police and fire departments. Consequently, these alternatives would negatively impact the project and prevent it from progressing as originally intended.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Finance Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the current Capital Improvement Program as CIP 60000. Additional funds are necessary to cover the costs associated with the recommended actions. Additional funds are being requested through Resolution 24-110 and are detailed below.

TECHNICAL PROJECT APPROACH
Advance Design Consultants, Inc. (ADC) understands that the City of West Sacramento is seeking firms to support with design activities to increase the security of the South entrance and ensure adequate space for Community Center activities. ADC will provide Architectural and Structural engineering services for the design of a new fence enclosure to satisfy these requirements. At this time, neither Civil engineering or Electrical engineering is proposed.
The following is a list of tasks that are intended to be the responsibility of the Contractor pursuant to this Request for Proposals:

Advance Design Consultants, Inc. (ADC) will perform all engineering and project management-related work necessary to prepare plans and specifications suitable for Public Works bidding. This includes, but is not limited to: Project management, preliminary design, design development, bid documents, bidding support, and construction support services. As a basis for this Project Work Plan and Approach, ADC will utilize the City-provided Scope of Work as a base with enhancements, as needed, to address the procedures, methodologies, measures of effectiveness, organization, and scheduling of tasks. Further, ADC will outline the anticipated involvement of City staff and stakeholders’ involvement throughout this Work Plan and Approach. ADC has organized this Project Work Plan and Approach following the Cost Proposal format and coordinated this with the Preliminary schedule, for the following nine (9) major tasks:
Task 1: Project Management
ADC’s approach to Project Management is simple with the main focus on Scope, Schedule and Budget. The following is an approach to the project management services:
i. Scope: The ADC Project Manager will define the Scope for the project at the beginning of the project provide a comprehensive Basis of Design (BOD) report to comprehensively communicate the project scope. ADC will maintain frequent and timely communication with City staff throughout the project; utilizing email & phone. ADC will also provide extensive coordination with sub-consultants. ii. Schedule: ADC will be the primary responsible party for managing the project’s design schedule. All project schedules shall be prepared in Gantt chart format, utilizing Microsoft Project software, with updates provided at all progress meetings.
iii. Budget: ADC will maintain the design fees within budget and control the sub-consultant’s budget as well.
Any additional items outside the scope that are requested by the City shall be documented carefully and if additional fees are required, ADC will notify the City promptly gaining approval before commencing any additional work. In addition to managing the consultant budget, ADC’s Project Manager will work with the design team to provide the City with comprehensive construction Cost Estimates, coordinating changes in scope for cost control.
iv. QA/QC Program: ADC will provide for quality assurance/quality control over work products prepared for the City. A statement of peer review will be required for overall constructability, coordination, and 33 20 | Advance Design Consultants, Inc.
reasonable reduction in errors and omissions. ADC will provide a wide-ranging QA/QC checklist at each design submittal to ensure ADC and City deliverables and standards are met. v. Plan Check Coordination: The consultant shall submit the plans for Planning and Building Department Permits as required to obtain Permit.
Task 2: Preliminary Design
ADC proposes to provide a comprehensive Basis of Design (BOD) Report outlining the provision of options. ADC will meet with Community Center staff/contacts to brainstorm and eventually provide a design option that meets security, space, accessibility and aesthetic features. This will be included in the BOD Report. The BOD report will include a preliminary cost estimate and the project schedule shall be included with each option, along with other support information outlining pros and cons for each option. This document will require the involvement of City staff and stakeholders to ensure all party’s input is captured and documented. This BOD Report will be iterated throughout the design process and will be submitted as part of every submittal.
Design Deliverables:
ADC shall be the Engineer of Record and responsible for the design and preparation of complete plans and technical specifications for the project. ADC will deploy boots on the ground and will perform an adequate field investigation to confirm existing conditions. ADC currently utilizes a 3D camera to scan project areas, in addition to normal photography/videography. The scans shall be hosted on Matterport site and will be shared with City staff, as required to complete the design.
All work is to comply with all applicable rules, regulations, code, law, and good practice for public facilities. When possible, the Consultant shall incorporate “green” building/construction practices, sustainability, energy efficiency, and low operations and maintenance costs into recommendations and subsequent design. ADC will address this starting with the BOD and continuing into the all-design phases.
Plans and specifications shall provide sufficient detail to result in a good quality product while allowing competitive pricing where possible and appropriate, and provide options to the contractor where appropriate to obtain the same good level of quality for the best bid price. Plans and specifications shall not specify proprietary products or services. Specifications shall be prepared in CSI 2020 format. ADC will use SpecBuilder Cloud by Deltek to develop project specifications ensuring the latest and most updated sections, code requirements, standards, etc. are referenced following CSI 2020 format.
Construction Cost Estimates shall be developed using RSMeans data from Gordian. ADC currently utilizes webbased software RSMeans Online to develop accurate and comprehensive Cost Estimates per CSI Masterformat.
This approach ensures the latest Cost Index are used to develop the Cost Estimate and since it is web-based, if the project is delayed the entire estimate can be easily updated to the current year’s values, per quarter, for the specific project area.
All design deliverables shall be reviewed by the City staff and stakeholders. Involvement from the City is paramount to project success.

CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT TO THE PUBLIC RESTROOM COMPANY FOR THE
PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF NEW PRE-MANUFACTURED RESTROOM FOR WESTACRE PARK RENOVATION AND EXPANSION PROJECT (CIP 62155) INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Megan Gideon, Project Manager I
Capital Projects Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to award a contract to the Public Restroom Company for the purchase and installation of a new restroom building for the Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion Project (CIP 62155).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a contract for services with the Public Restroom Company for the purchase, delivery and installation of a new pre-manufactured restroom building, in an amount not to exceed $424,734; 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the contract with the Public Restroom Company, with the approval of the City Attorney; and 3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue contract change orders up to 10% of the contract amount, not to exceed $42,474.
BACKGROUND
Westacre Park, located at 1755 Evergreen Avenue, is owned by Washington Unified School District (WUSD), but improved and maintained by the City as part of a Joint Use Agreement between WUSD and the City. The existing park amenities include a dated skatepark, basketball court, play structure without shade, and turf areas used for soccer and other sports. As part of its facility and budget planning effort, WUSD has offered additional property located immediately adjacent to the park site for a potential park expansion. The additional parcel includes a parking area and empty warehouse buildings.
On June 5, 2019, the City Council authorized the submission of a grant application to the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) for $7.843 million to fund improvements to Westacre Park. The grant application for this site included renovating the existing skatepark, removal of the existing warehouse buildings, and expansion of the park to allow for additional parking. The proposed park improvements also include renovating the existing basketball court and play fields, installing new play equipment with a shade structure, a shaded seating area, a multi-use sports court, walking loops, lighting, landscaping, a restroom building to support athletic field use, and any other improvements identified through the community engagement process.
On December 7, 2021, the City was notified of being awarded $7,843,000 of SPP grant funding for design and construction improvements to Westacre Park and subsequently entered a grant agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation for SPP grant funding on May 5, 2022. All upcoming work on this project will need to be completed by the end of the grant performance period, which ends June 1, 2025.
On April 1, 2022, the Capital Projects Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design of the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project improvements. City staff received five (5) proposals from design firms, which were ranked and evaluated by staff from the Capital Projects and Parks and Recreation Departments. Melton Design Group, Inc. (MDG) ranked number one based on the specified criteria. MDG provided a robust proposal that incorporated all elements that identified in the SPP grant application.
On July 20, 2022, the City Council approved a professional services contract with MDG for the design of the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation.
MDG completed the design phase in September 2024. The final design includes the following amenities to support the park use: updated skatepark and pump track, splash pad, climbing wall, public restroom facilities, 46 Award Of Contract for Pre-Manufactured Restroom for Westacre Park Renovation and Expansion Project (CIP 62155) November 20, 2024
basketball, pickleball, and futsal courts, soccer fields, shade structures, a health and fitness labyrinth, and play structures, site lighting, trash receptacles, and updated parking areas that conform to ADA requirements.
ANALYSIS
During the design process and development of cost estimates for the Westacre Park Expansion and Renovation Project, MDG discovered that the cost of the premanufactured restrooms and installation increases every few months. Therefore, MDG recommended that the City pre-purchase the items from the Public Restroom Company directly, to ensure that the construction budget, timelines, and SPP Grant Program performance milestones are met. The City will be utilizing a Sourcewell Cooperative agreement of which both the Public Restroom Company and the City are members of. Sourcewell provides participating entities, such as municipal governmental agencies, with pre-approved vendors to provide equipment, products, or services. Using a cooperative is allowable under City purchasing policy, along with benefits such as fair and competitive pricing.
The construction contract for this project will be brought before City Council in early 2025 for consideration.
Environmental Considerations
As part of the Statewide Park Program grant application submittal, on June 5, 2019, the City Council found the Westacre Improvements Project, including a restroom facility, to be exempt from CEQA analysis under the Class 1, Class 3 and Class 4 Categorical Exemptions, under California Code of Regulation, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15301, 15303 and 15304. None of the exceptions to the exemptions listed in Section 15300.2 apply to the project. No further CEQA action or documentation is required.
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Integration
This project is directly tied to the City’s 2024 Strategic Plan Parks & Open Space Strategic Priority as it provides diverse outdoor options for recreation and community with nature at any age.
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:
1) Approve the recommended actions as described above in this report. 2) Reject the recommended actions, or direct staff to alter the recommended actions. 3) Defer or cancel the project.
Staff recommends the Council proceed with Alternative 1, as delaying the purchase could lead to increased costs for the restroom building and installation, potentially putting the project over budget.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Department, Finance Department, and the City Manager’s Office.
Budget/Cost Impact
This project is fully funded by the $7,843,000 Prop 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) grant and appropriated in the current year’s budget (CIP 62155). These prepurchase items will be subtracted from the overall construction budget and no additional appropriations are required at this time.

Installation Notice and Site Availability:
PRC will provide sufficient notice of delivery of the prefabricated building. The Owner/General Contractor shall make the site available during the delivery period. During the delivery period, on an improved site, Owner should stop site watering several days before delivery to minimize the impact on the soils for the heavy equipment needed for installation.
Caution: If site is not ready for our field crew to perform their installation and if no notice of delay in readiness from Owner/General Contractor is received, PRC will provide a change order for remobilization on a daily basis until the site is ready for us. Ready means that the site pad is completed, the corner required survey stakes are in place, the slab elevation stakes are in place, the location of the front of the building is confirmed on site, and access to the site is available from an improved roadway. Owner/General Contractor shall sign the change order before we will continue delivery.
Public Restroom Company will “turn-key” set the buildings including the hook up of utilities inside the building (only) when they are available. PRC will use its own factory trained staff for the installation.
Utility Connections:
1. PRC to complete all internal building plumbing connections and connections from the electrical panel to building’s fixtures. The Owner/ Contractor is responsible for making the final plumbing connections at the 6’ POC locations.
2. The Owner/Contractor is responsible for pulling the wire and completing the final tie-in to the electrical panel from the 6’ POC location.
3. The Owner/Contractor is responsible for commissioning the building once final utility connections are made. This includes flushing & testing all water service lines before final startup.
Special Conditions, Permits, and Inspection Fees:

Jurisdiction for Off-site Work:
Jurisdiction, for permitting and inspection of this building shall be either the State agency who manages prefabricated building compliance in the state or the local CBO (when the State does not provide certification.) If the responsibility for building inspection is the local CBO, we will provide a certified plan set, calculations, and a third-party engineer inspection report for any and all closed work the local official cannot see.
PUBLIC RESTROOM COMPANY SCOPE OF WORK:
Our In Plant/Off-Site Construction Scheduling System:
60 Westacre Park 'A' - City of Sacramento, CA | 08/26/2024| Reference # 11928A-7/18/2024-3 2587 Business Parkway | Minden, NV 89423 | www.PublicRestroomCompany.com | p: 888-888-2060 | f: 888-888-1448 4 of 9
PRC has several off-site manufacturing centers in the United States, strategically located, with the proper equipment and trained staff to fabricate our custom buildings to our high-quality fit and finish standards. PRC manages quality control in our off-site production facility to comply with the approved drawings and provides an inspection certification and photos as required. When proprietary materials, which we have designed and fabricated, are part of the project, PRC supplies the manufacturing centers with these proprietary PRC components. We then schedule the in-plant construction process to coordinate with your delivery date through our Operations Division field staff. We guaranty on time at cost delivery weather permitting.
Special Payment and Progress Billing Terms:
Invoicing begins on the 30th of the month following an order and/or the acceptance of the proposal/contract.
The first progress billing invoice will be issued for the commencement of design and engineering of architectural plans. This will be 10% of the contracted amount. Once construction begins invoicing will commence monthly based on plant percentage of completion, supported by photographs.
In the event of project stoppage, additional fees may be assessed for re-mobilization, storage, crane costs, etc. Our discounted project costs are based upon timely payments. Delays in payment could change delivery schedules and project costs.
Delivery and Installation:
Site Inspection:
PRC staff, upon site arrival, will verify the required dimensions of the building pad and the corner locations/elevation. We will also verify the delivery path from an accessible road or street and install the underground utilities to the point of connection nominally 6’ from the exterior of the building.
Installation:
PRC will install the building turn-key, except for any exclusion (listed under “Exclusions,” herein.) Installation of Utilities under the Prefabricated Building:
We fabricate off-site an underground utilities (water, and DWV piping and fittings) preassembled plumbing and electrical tree. Our site staff will set the underground tree into code depth excavated trenches and our staff will install the coarse concrete sand to bed the piping per our submitted drawing.
We provide all the buildings under-slab piping including the driven electrical ground rod. The Owner/General Contractor brings utility services to within 6’ of the pad and are responsible for final connections at that point.
Connection of Utilities Post Building Placement:
After placement of the building on the pad by PRC, our field staff will tie in the water and sewer connection “inside” the building only and terminate at a point of connection (POC) outside the building clearly marked for each utility service. The Owner/General Contractor is responsible for final utility point of service connections at the nominal 6’ from building locations. 61 Westacre Park 'A' - City of Sacramento, CA | 08/26/2024| Reference # 11928A-7/18/2024-3 2587 Business Parkway | Minden, NV 89423 | www.PublicRestroomCompany.com | p: 888-888-2060 | f: 888-888-1448 5 of 9
Electrical:
PRC provides the electrical conduit to the POC 6’ from the building. The Owner/General Contractor pulls the wire and ties it off on the electrical panel.
Plumbing:
PRC provides the POC up to 6’ from the building footprint and the Owner/General Contractor connects the water to our stub out location.
Sewer:
Some sites depending on the local jurisdiction will require an outside house trap which Owner/General Contractor shall install if needed. PRC will provide you with a sewer point of connection including a clean out to which Owner/General Contractor will terminate the site sewer service.
Testing of Water, Sewer, and Electrical in Plant and Final Site Utility Connection:
Before the building leaves the manufacturing center, PRC certifies a pressure water piping test, DWV, and the electrical connections for compliance with code. While the building is fully tested for leaks at the plant before shipment, road vibration may loosen some plumbing slip fittings and require tightening once the building services (water) is completed. Owner/General Contractor is responsible for minor fitting tightening to handle small slip fitting leaks caused by transportation.
Time of Completion:
PRC estimates a 240 calendar day schedule to complete our scope of work from receipt of written notice to proceed together with signed approved architectural submittals; including final construction documents and structural calculations from all authorities required to approve them.
Exclusions/Exceptions:
1. Any equipment associated with the splash pad design is to be provided by others. This proposal excluded any tanks, pumps, manifolds, timers, controllers, eyewash stations, and panels required for splash pad operation.
2. Access issues for delivery of the building by a clear unobstructed path of travel from an improved roadway to the final installation pad or foundation may cause site delays and extra cost at each site. This exclusion covers sites whose access is limited by trees, inaccessible roadways, overhead power lines at location where crane will lift building, grade changes disallowing our delivery trailers with only 4” of clearance to grade, berms, or uneven site grades, or when the path of travel is over improvements such as sidewalks, all of which are not within the scope of work by PRC. On some sites without on-site storage availability for buildings that cannot be set, relocation to a proximal crane yard and later relocated to the site for installation, will incur additional fees at rates that vary depending on local rates. PRC will provide written costs for this additional work by change order.
3. If weather on site causes site delivery issues, the delivery may have to be diverted to an off-site location and the additional costs will be a change order to the bid. Our staff works 62 Westacre Park 'A' - City of Sacramento, CA | 08/26/2024| Reference # 11928A-7/18/2024-3 2587 Business Parkway | Minden, NV 89423 | www.PublicRestroomCompany.com | p: 888-888-2060 | f: 888-888-1448 6 of 9
with the Owner/General Contractor in advance to make sure sound decisions for delivery are made to avoid this issue. But sometimes Owner/General Contractor take risks for weather, but this risk is clearly at the Owner/General Contractor risk, not PRC.
4. Sidewalks outside the building footprint.
5. Trench plates or matting needed for protection of site soils, sidewalks, hardscaping, or site utilities shall be the responsibility of the Owner/General Contractor. Any site soils damage or other site improvements if damaged during installation shall be the responsibility of the Owner/General Contractor.
6. Not responsible for removing any soil, sand, or other debris as a result of trenching or installation.
7. Survey, location of building corners, finish floor elevation, excavation, and construction of subgrade building pad and footings (if required) per PRC plans.
8. Soil conditions not suitable for bearing a minimum of 1500 PSF with compaction to 90% maximum dry density shall require Owner/General Contractor correction before building placement. If no soils testing report is available before bid, Owner/General Contractor must verify site supporting soils at a minimum of 1500 PSF because that is the least we can place our structures on or Owner/General Contractor or engineer of record must design a foundation system to meet the imposed loads of site placement.
9. Improper water pressure, an undersized meter, or improper water volume flow to the building may necessitate a change order for installation of a building internal diaphragm tank to provide the minimum flow rate and static pressure of up to 60 PSI and a minimum of 40 PSI to properly flush the fixtures.

Insurance and Prevailing Wage Certification:
PRC shall comply with the required insurance requirements, wage reports, and safety requirements for the project, including OSHA regulations.
Special Insurance to protect the Building before acceptance:
As PRC requires payment for each month of off-site construction, and since the building is not on owner property where their insurance will cover the building, we maintain a special policy that insures the property even when paid for off-site until the building is finally accepted by the owner. This special policy protects the Owner’s custom ordered materials to be used in the fabrication of the building during this period. PRC provides this Stock Throughput Policy to cover the building materials from supplier to manufacturer, while it is being built off-site, while in transit to the job site, during and after it is installed on-site until final acceptance. This special policy has a $1,000,000 coverage limit. This exceeds the cost of any single building we have offered for sale herein.
Errors and Omissions Insurance:
Our firm employs licensed architects, engineers, and drafting staff to provide design of our buildings.
Since these buildings are required to meet accessibility standards and building codes on site, and since we are the designer, we carry Errors and Omissions Insurance (E & O) to protect our clients from any errors. The policy covers a limit of up to $2,000,000 per occurrence and is more clearly explained in the insurance certificates we provide after receipt of a purchase order.
WARRANTY:
All work performed by PUBLIC RESTROOM COMPANY (called “Company”) shall be warranted to the Owner to be of good quality, free of faults and defects in material, workmanship, and title for 5 years from last date of installation if building is installed by Company or 1 year if building is installed by Owner or Owner’s agent without on-site supervision by Company. Company warranty on building shell including exterior walls, concrete 8” slab/foundation, and roof system is warranted for 20 years structurally. The Company will repair or replace at their sole option any defects in work upon proper notice to the below stated address below.
Owner/General Contractor selected parts and materials that are not PRC approved will not be covered under PRC’s 5 year component warranty. These selections will be covered only by any available manufacturer warranty.
Our Company extended warranties shall be Company only and shall have no effect on any required Performance, Payment, or Warranty Bonds where Surety shall assume no liability to the Company, the Owner, or any third parties should the Company fail for any reason to deliver acceptable maintenance warranties beyond the one year period. The warranty extension is solely between the owner and PRC and not the general contractor, bonding company, or architect/engineer of record.
This warranty applies only if all work performed by Company has been fully paid for, including change orders if applicable. Company has no responsibility for any neglect, abuse, or improper handling of building product.

The contract price quoted herein is a discounted price based upon our receipt of progress payments as invoiced on the agreed billing schedule of PRC.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 24-112 regarding Change Order 1 to the Emergency Contract with Acco Systems Inc for the Community Center HVAC System Repair Project occurring at the Community Center located at 1075 West Capitol Avenue.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Approve change order 1 to the construction contract with Acco Engineered Systems Inc. in the amount of $60,482 for the Community Center Emergency HVAC Project; 2) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contract amendments or change orders up to 20% ($12,096) of the contract amendment value;
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the construction contract, with approval from the City Attorney; and 4) Adopt, by a minimum four-fifths vote of the Council, Resolution 24-112, regarding the Emergency Contract with Acco Systems, Inc for the Community Center HVAC Repair Project.
BACKGROUND
Opposite City Hall Galleria in the heart of the Civic Center District, the Community Center located at 1075 West Capitol Ave. is an integral city facility operated by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. Construction of the facility was completed in late 2010 and the building went into service in 2011.
The three-story structure houses a multitude of recreation opportunities for multiple generations. During weekday hours the facility is busy with Active Aging programs for seniors ranging from crafts to wellness activities. The facility hosts after-school enrichment classes, and its various-sized meeting rooms are the setting of community rentals ranging from professional workshops and board meetings to graduations and celebrations of life. The West Sacramento Historical Society maintains a museum-quality exhibit space illustrating the City’s history. The arts are alive within the building's rotating visual art exhibits within Gallery 1075 and a rentable Black Box Theater where community, regional, and professional performances are staged.
As the building enters its 15th year of operation many components are ending their useful life one being the HVAC system. Over the last few years the system began experiencing major failures and at the FY 24/25 Midterm budget adoption on August 21, 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 52083 was created to replace and redesign the HVAC system for the entire building. On September 4th, 2024, the unit that serves the Black Box Theater experienced a total failure creating an inoperable environment for the space.
City Staff made multiple attempts to revive the HVAC unit, however due the units age and obsoleteness all attempts were unsuccessful. To keep the space operable for pre-booked productions and rentals that were relying on the theater to be functional staff consulted with Acco Systems Inc. to find an interim solution for the HVAC system. Acco began by running diagnostics on the failed unit the results confirmed staff’s findings that the unit was not able to be revived. City Staff received a quote from Acco to supply temporary HVAC units until a permanent unit can be sourced these repairs would be performed under an emergency contract approved by City Council on September 18, 2024.
76 Community Center HVAC Emergency Repair Project Change Order 1 November 20, 2024
Staff has been working alongside Acco since the system failure and has developed a detailed plan to install a permanent replacement unit for the Black Box theater the work associated with the permanent replacement is included in contract change order 1.
ANALYSIS
For the purposes of contracting, Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code (PCC) defines an emergency as “a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential services.” PCC 20168 allows cities to enter into no-bid emergency construction contracts following the procedure set out in PCC22050. PCC 22050 allows a city to delegate this authority to a non-elected public official. West Sacramento Municipal Code 3.04.090 delegates this authority to the “purchasing agent”, which is elsewhere defined as the City Manager.
Once the contract has been approved, the City Manager is required to report on the contract at the next City Council meeting (PCC 22050(b)(3)). If the work is continuing, the Council needs to adopt a resolution allowing the work to continue (PCC 22050(c)(2)). Because the work involved in the emergency repair extended beyond the September 18, 2024, City Council meeting. Council adopted a resolution allowing the work of the contractor to continue. Resolution 24-103, approved by City Council at the September 18, 2024 meeting, allowed the work of the contractor to continue beyond the September 18, 2024, Council meeting. Because of additional work involved in completing the repair may extend past the November 20th City Council meeting staff is recommending approval of Resolution 24-112. The resolution must be approved by a minimum four-fifths vote of the Council for the work to continue.
Environmental Considerations
This emergency repair is exempt from CEQA analysis under CEQA Guidelines 15269. According to the CEQA Guidelines, an emergency includes emergency repairs to public or privately owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare. A Notice of Exemption was filed on September 18, 2024 for the project.

N/A
Alternatives

1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Delay or revise the recommended actions.
3) Not approve the recommended actions.
Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended as the adoption of Resolution 24-112 is required for the contractor to complete the emergency work detailed in this report.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department and coordinated with and reviewed by the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Department, Parks & Recreation Department, Finance Department, and the City Attorney.
Budget/Cost Impact
The emergency work identified in this report is not eligible for reimbursement by YCPARMIA. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 52083 has been created for the HVAC System Replacement at the Community Center and will be utilized as a funding source.

RESOLUTION 24-112
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO
REGARDING THE CONTINUANCE OF THE EMERGENCY CONTRACT WITH ACCO ENGINEERED SYSTEMS, INC. FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER HVAC EMERGENCY REPAIR PROJECT (CIP 52083)
WHEREAS, on September 4, 2023, The Community Center lost the entire HVAC system for the Black Box Theater; and
WHEREAS, City staff discovered that the HVAC system at the Community Center had completely failed due to age and obsolescence; and
WHEREAS, City staff contacted Acco Engineered Systems, Inc., for repair services, to assess the damages and provide an estimate for repair; and WHEREAS, Acco Engineered Systems, Inc. determined that the existing HVAC System was beyond repair.
WHEREAS, City staff requested a quote for a temporary HVAC system from Acco Engineered Systems, Inc as a permanent solution is sourced to return the facility to normal operation; and
WHEREAS, City staff selected Acco Engineered Systems, Inc to perform the repairs under an emergency contract; and
WHEREAS, the installation of the temporary HVAC System began on 9/10/2024 and due to the availability of a permanent unit, the completion of the work will likely take several weeks; and
WHEREAS, staff worked with Acco Engineered Systems, Inc and received a quote for a permanent solution for the HVAC system in the Black Box Theater.
WHEREAS, for the purposes of contracting, Section 1102 of the Public Contract Code (PCC) defines an emergency as "a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services”; and
WHEREAS, PCC 20168 allows cities to enter into no-bid, emergency construction contracts following the procedure set out in PCC 22050; and WHEREAS, PCC 22050 allows a city to delegate this authority to a non-elected public official and West Sacramento Municipal Code 3.04.090 delegates this authority to the “purchasing agent”, which is elsewhere defined as the City Manager; and WHEREAS, once the emergency contract has been approved, the City Manager is required to report on the contract at the next City Council meeting (PCC 22050(b)(3)); and WHEREAS, if the work is continuing, the Council needs to adopt a resolution allowing the work to continue (PCC 22050(c)(2)); and
WHEREAS, because the work involved in the emergency repair will likely take several weeks, the work may extend beyond the November 20, 2024, City Council meeting and therefore 81 Resolution 24-36
according to PCC 22050(c)(2), the Council needs to adopt a resolution allowing the work of the contractor to continue beyond November 20, 2024.
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter, as presented at the public meetings of the City Council identified herein, including any supporting reports by City staff, and any other information provided during public meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of West Sacramento as follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds there is a need to allow continuance of the work to complete the emergency repairs as described in the contract with Acco Engineered Systems, Inc beyond November 20, 2024.
2. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH WEST YOST
ASSOCIATES FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $459,828 FOR THE SOUTH SEWER LIFT STATION REHABILITATION/REPLACEMENT PROJECT (CIP 32002)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Bernard Corrales, Assistant Engineer
Amber Wallace, Senior Engineer
Capital Projects Department
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to approve a professional services contract with West Yost Associates for the South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project (CIP 32002).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that the contract with West Yost Associates for the South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project (CIP 32002) is exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Title 14, Chapter 3, Article 19 pursuant to the Section 15301, Class 1 Categorical Exemption;
2) Approve a professional services contract with West Yost Associates for Construction Management Services for the South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project; 3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a professional services contract with West Yost Associates for an amount not to exceed $459,828;
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the professional services contract, with approval from the City Attorney; 5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to make contract amendments up to $46,000; and 6) Delegate authority to the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of the contract, if necessary.
BACKGROUND
The City Council approved General Plan 2035 on November 16, 2016, which guides how the City should develop over time. A goal of the General Plan 2035 process was to ensure that the City’s utilities would serve existing and projected future customers. In conjunction with the General Plan, the 2015 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (SSMP) Update was prepared to assess the condition and capacity of the City’s existing sewer conveyance system. The Sanitary Sewer Master Plan recommended improvements to the South Lift Station to continue providing reliable services to the City’s residents and customers.
The South Sewer Station is located on the corner of Park and Stone Boulevard near the port of Sacramento. It is directly downstream of the Manna Beverage and Ventures Company. The South Sewer Lift Station is severely corroded, and the pumps have a hard time keeping up with the fluctuation in the flows. The City envisions a rehabilitated lift station to improve resiliency, efficiency, and maintenance, which will provide residents with safe and secure quality services and well-maintained infrastructure.
ANALYSIS
On August 14, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) through the City’s online procurement system, OpenGov, to obtain proposals from engineering firms for Construction Management and Inspections of the South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project.
The City received five electronic proposals from the following firms, listed in alphabetical order:
Alpha CM
Consolidated CM
Kjeldsen Sinnock Neudeck Inc.
MCK Americas Inc.
West Yost Associates
83 South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project November 20, 2024
A four-person evaluation panel ranked the five firms on October 10, 2024. City staff evaluated each firm and its proposals based on the following criteria: qualifications and experience, understanding of the work to be done, demonstrated technical ability, familiarity with state and federal procedures, and acceptance of the City’s contract for services. After reviewing West Yost Associates qualifications, experience, and proposed work plan, the staff selection panel determined that West Yost Associates demonstrates a strong understanding of the work to be performed and is the most qualified firm to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services. The attached contract includes the negotiated scope and fees to complete the assignment.
Staff requests the City Manager, or his designee, be granted the authority to execute amendments not exceeding 10% ($46,000) of the contract amount due to unforeseen conditions, community outreach support, etc.
The anticipated project schedule for the South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation/Replacement Project is listed below:
Issuance of RFP: August 14, 2024
Contract Award: November 20, 2024
Estimated Design Completion: Fall 2025
Construction Begins: Spring 2026
Environmental Considerations
The California Environmental Quality Act Title 14, Chapter 3, Article 19 defines what projects or categories are allowed to be considered Categorically Exempt. Section 15301, Class 1 allows public entities to perform operations such as repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination without review of the project under CEQA. The South Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation Project falls within the following Class 1 Categorical Exemption: “(d) Restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as earthquake, landslide, or flood. A Notice of Exemption will be filed when the project awards the construction contract.
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Integration
Not applicable.
Alternatives
Alternatives available to the City Council include:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Make adjustments to the recommended actions.
3) Decline to approve the recommended actions or delete the project.
Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended due to the large amount of sewage flowing into the South Sewer Lift Station causing the already modified/exhausted pumps/propellers to be overworked and strained.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department with coordination from the Finance Department, and review by the City Manager’s Office.
Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), approved by the Council on June 28, 2023, as CIP 32002. There is sufficient funding available in the project budget, therefore, no additional funds are required or requested for this contract at this time.

C TECHNICAL PROJECT APPROACH
In this section of the proposal, we discuss our project understanding and identify the key challenges and
considerations exclusive to this project based on review of the RFP, available 30 percent plans, site reconnaissance, and experience/lessons-learned on similar projects successfully completed by our West Yost construction management team.
Introduction/Project Understanding
In an effort to achieve goals for growth through 2035, the City, in conjunction with the 2015 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update, Final Report October 2017, recently adopted the General Plan 2035 Update to ensure their utility infrastructure has the capacity and functionality to serve current and future customers. The South Sewer Pump Station (SSPS) is among the facilities identified for upgrade. The SSPS is located on a private commercial property in an industrial area at the corner of Stone Boulevard and Park Boulevard. The SSPS is also near residential properties to the north and east of the project site. The pump station is located in a small structure requiring access via a minimal capacity elevator. The following are some of the key components of this rehabilitation project based on the plans and information gathered at the pre-proposal meeting:
■ Demo of the existing above-ground structure and subsurface dry pit housing the SSPS
■ Construction of a wetwell approximately 30 feet deep
■ Installation of three (3) two (2) million gallon per day (MGD) capacity submersible pumps
■ Installation of an above-ground discharge header with associated valves and flowmeter instrumentation
■ Installation of a standby generator to ensure continuous operation in the event of a power outage
Key Challenges & Considerations
After review of the RFP, plans, specifications, and attendance at the pre-proposal meeting on August 21, 2024, several key challenges were identified that should be planned for to achieve successful completion of this project. Our CM team has worked on several projects with similar components and the following are some of the key lessons-learned on current and/or recently completed projects that address the following challenges and have proven to be instrumental in delivering project success:
■ Minimize and manage impacts to residents and businesses ■ Open-cut trench pipe installation/Understanding of soil conditions and groundwater control
■ Pump station construction, startup, and commissioning ■ Understanding sewer bypass operation
■ Contractor staging area/”Just in time” delivery
■ Existing trees/utility conflicts
■ Reinforce compliance with Approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
■ Enforce aggressive schedule adherence and prioritize
procurement of long lead items
Our CM team has worked on several projects with similar components. Below we delve into the details of the above listed management strategies and lessons-learned from past projects.
Our management to address these key challenges have proven to be instrumental in delivering project success.
MINIMIZE AND MANAGE IMPACTS TO
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES
At the onset of the project, we will review the project contract documents and plans. We will focus on the contract requirements for minimizing the impacts to the local
communities, businesses, and residents that will directly interface with the construction. These requirements will be emphasized to the GC at the start of and throughout the duration of the work. We will enforce the following:
■ Safety requirements for barricading and fencing to prevent the public from falling into open excavations or being injured by equipment accessed during off hours.
■ Work hours, both start and end times, that minimize impacts to residents.
■ Trench plating across trenches to provide access to driveways. ■ Trench plating over all open trenches at the end of the workday.
■ Maintaining access through the work zones for emergency responders, solid waste pickup, and deliveries.
■ “Housekeeping” techniques to keep construction dust under control and prevent debris from entering
private property.
■ Traffic control planning such as traffic lane reductions, detours, and temporary road closures.
■ Public outreach is important to keep the public informed and to minimize complaints and disruptions.
■ An understanding of all the permit and environmental
conditions and mitigation measures.
OPEN-CUT TRENCH PIPE INSTALLATION/
UNDERSTANDING OF SOIL CONDITIONS
AND GROUNDWATER CONTROL
Most of the project will consist of open-cut trench pipe installation that could be a safety hazard to civilians around the work area. The following are among the key tasks and issues that should be accounted for:
100
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 14 ■ Traffic control plans must be designed to meet unique construction means and methods, and the limitations of the work zone.
■ Securing the open trenches and placement of lighting and warning signs is very important to protecting the general public during off-hours.
■ Thorough potholing to confirm the location of existing utilities and tie-ins is essential.
■ It is important to be prepared to address conflicts with existing and unmarked buried utilities.
■ Knowledge and experience with the local soil and
groundwater conditions can avoid many issues.
■ Groundwater control and disposal is critical to making production goals.
■ An approved shoring system for safe entry is crucial. ■ Confirming that the subgrade is firm and unyielding is needed prior to wetwell structure, manholes, and pipe bedding
placement.
■ Means and methods of installation for pipelines and backfill are important to achieving joint integrity.
■ Daily production goals need to meet the schedule, must be tracked, and action taken if the production rate slips. ■ Hydrostatic pressure and visible leak testing approaches and procedures must be thoroughly reviewed, approved,
performed, and witnessed.
■ The use of native slurry backfill is the option most likely to minimize costs and time.
■ Suitable backfill materials, proper placement, and compaction prevent future settlement issues.
■ Existing drainage culverts may be degraded and may require replacement.
■ Roadway restoration work must be coordinated with City and County agencies.
UNDERSTANDING SEWER BYPASS OPERATION
The design & installation of the by-pass system is critical to the project. Our CM team has extensive experience with sewer line bypass pumping support including design, coordination, and oversight during large sewer facility rehabilitation and/or modification projects. For example, the Modesto Headworks project consisted of major upgrades to the primary treatment facility including rerouting of large sewer trunk mains, construction of junction structures, modifications to the influent flumes, and a complete overhaul of the electrical and SCADA infrastructure. JP and Ted worked closely, along with City O&M staff and bypass system subcontractors such as Rain for Rent and Hertz, to implement multiple separate several month-long bypass systems, complete with redundancy, double containment, and emergency notification to complete the work while maintaining daily treatment operations. The following are some of the key factors that should be considered for coordinating bypassing on this project:
■ While solids passing pumps are standard to the industry, the use of chopper pumps are more reliable to reduce ragging up of the system.
■ The current 30% design drawings shows a single pump by-pass set up which does not allow for redundancy of the system. ■ Depending on the project flows anticipated, the installation of two pumps in one manhole could reduce the efficiency of the system. Additional pickup points may be needed or it may require the removal of the manhole cone.
■ The monitoring and float call-out system should be at a different location then the suction lines. This would reduce the chance of floats becoming stuck and not notify of an issue. ■ Daily inspection and maintenance checklist should be required to keep the system running properly.
PUMP STATION CONSTRUCTION,
STARTUP, AND COMMISSIONING
This project includes the construction of a pump station that controls the flow of sewage that must remain operational during this rehabilitation project. The existing facility is below ground, and the intent of this project is to make the pump station easier to access and maintain. Procurement of long lead items, particularly the electrical and instrumentation components, as well as construction and startup of the pump station will be critical to the project. Our team has worked on numerous projects involving rehabilitation of pump stations and brings extensive in-house expertise for the various critical components (structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, etc.) required to successfully construct and startup a new pump station facility. The following are some of the key issues that should be accounted for:
■ Bypass coordination to maintain daily operation of the existing system
■ Coordination of procurement for long lead mechanical & electrical equipment.
■ Piping layout of the two interconnecting systems.
■ SCADA monitoring and integration of the new components into the existing SCADA system.
■ Coordination of tie-ins to existing systems.
CONTRACTOR STAGING AREAS/”JUST
IN TIME” DELIVERY
Due to the limited space at the project site, establishment of a nearby staging area, coordination of deliveries, storage of materials, use of equipment, and spoils stockpiling will be critical to reducing the impact to the neighborhood. Before materials arrive to the site, there needs to be a clear plan of where the materials will be unloaded, what areas will be affected, and how traffic will be detoured to maintain safe & efficient delivery. 101
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 15
ENFORCE AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE ADHERENCE AND
PRIORITIZE PROCUREMENT OF LONG LEAD ITEMS
Due to the sewer bypass operation and long lead times
for electrical components, pumps, and standby generator, aggressive schedule adherence and sequencing of work activities will be critical to the success of the project. It is also our understanding that the City requires all long lead items to be procured and delivered to the project site prior to installation of the bypass system and demolition of the existing facility.
To that end, we have created a schedule to layout our vision for project completion. With a CM Notice to Proceed (NTP) of November 2024, we envision working with the Owner &
Engineer to complete the constructability review of the Final Design by February 2025, with a goal of putting the project out to bid by April 2025, and issuing the construction Notice to Proceed (NTP) by June 2025. The contract requires for all work to be completed in approximately 18 months from the construction NTP. With an anticipated construction NTP of June 20, 2025, the project would begin with encroachment permits, miscellaneous material & long lead item submittals, with delivery of long lead items and mobilization on site by the end of March 2026.
Based on these milestones, we will emphasize the importance of prioritizing procurement of long lead items by requiring submittal for these components and materials as soon as the construction NTP is issued. On our most recent pump station projects, we have experienced longer than usual lead times for electrical and PLC parts such as breakers, hardware, and software components. Our approach for expediting submittal and review of these long lead items, recommending alternate manufacturers (e.g., unlisted or-equals approved by the Owner), and allowing for temporary use of substitute materials that allow the system to function until the approved materials are furnished and installed has been instrumental in minimizing these delays to the extent possible and adhering to the tight schedule constraints.
The Just in Time delivery approach is basically what the name implies. Materials for the project are quantified, categorized, and coordinated with a detailed construction schedule to have the materials delivered just in time for installation. This approach is very helpful in reducing staging area requirements, theft, double handling of materials and impacts to traffic. When coordinated correctly, this can be a great asset for the project’s success. Similarly, the removal of material must be appropriately coordinated and scheduled.
EXISTING TREE/UTILITY CONFLICTS
Working on sites with large trees proximity to the construction activities can present challenges. Not only are there concerns about disturbances during the nesting season of March 15 through August 31, the construction equipment, and trenching operations can damage the trees, as well as pose potential worker safety concerns. We will emphasize the importance of having thorough pre-activity meetings with the project team to make sure the contractor has provided a tree protection plan and confirm contractor has a potholing plan and has communicated with the utility companies regarding safety requirements around their utilities. If tree branch and/or root trimming is necessary, we will recommend the contractor hire an arborist to ensure the trees and roots are properly trimmed.
REINFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH APPROVED STORM
WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SWPPP)
There are specific requirements that every project must adhere to with regards to stormwater runoff in order to be compliant with the latest Construction General Permit (CGP) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Typically, the GC is responsible for submitting a storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and application of the best management practices (BMPs) included in the SWPPP during construction activities.
To supplement this effort, our team includes trained Qualified SWPPP Practitioners (QSPs) that will audit the project site and alignment to make sure pre and post storm reports are regularly submitted, and BMPs such as drain inlet protections, dust control, track out, etc., are being enforced on a regular basis. 102

City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 17 General Approaches to the
Construction Work
Success in achieving our objectives begins with understanding the requirements, potential issues (risk), expectations of our clients, the GC, the local community, and the interfacing of public or private utilities that could be impacted by the construction work. The concise way of summarizing this is:
be a knowledgeable participant in the project and use that information to lead project participants to achieve success. The table below summarizes the key tasks to our general approach that will allow us achieve successful project completion, followed by a detailed explanation of each of the key tasks.
Success on any Construction Project must include
the following and in this order:
SAFETY
Safety for the general public in and
around the project is of the utmost
importance. Prioritizing safety
leads to no loss-time accidents or
incidents with the construction
crew, City staff, the public or the
CM team.
PROJECT KICK-OFF
The first 100 days sets the culture
of the project going forward. If the
project slips at the star, it is often
difficult to recover – especially for
projects that are less than one year
in duration.
QUALITY
MANAGEMENT
Construct per the plans and
specifications, approved submittals,
and codes and standards. Operate
under the phrase “trust but verify”.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Hold people accountable for
accomplishing action items and for
their decisions.
COMMUNICATION
The effectiveness and amount of
communication is directly related
to achieving the performance
objectives of he previous five
success factors – we must excel at
communication.
DOCUMENTATION
Thorough and complete
documentation is essential in
demonstrating compliance with
the contract and recording actions
that may become valuable to
resolve a dispute during closeout
of the project or when enforcing
warranty issue.
Safety
A culture of safety must be created, reinforced, and insisted upon from the very beginning. Our approach to safety is to inform the GC that they are responsible for conducting the work in accordance with Cal/OSHA and are fully responsible for the safety of the general public interfacing with the project and all personnel that are involved in the project at the jobsite, and that we must embrace the Multi-Employer Work Site safety standards. The concept is best summarized as: “We must look out for each other”.
SAFETY AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE
To be effective at being safe and implementing safety measures, it is essential that our team be aware of safety requirements and that they properly use this information in their daily inspections of the work. When each team member is aware of the dangers and the safety measures required to be in place, they can prevent incidences from ever occurring. We will conduct appropriate, bi-weekly safety tailgate meetings with our staff on topics applicable to the type of work being performed on the project. Our weekly Progress Coordination Meetings will start with safety as the first discussion topic. Additional topics will include identifying the GC’s safety tailgate meeting topic, understanding the GC’s safety concerns for the week, discussing any “close call” incidents and presenting any potential issues that may need special attention. Our inspection staff will stop work if they believe imminent danger exists and will immediately notify the foreman and/or supervisor of the issue.
Project Kick-Off
The following goals are included in the kick-off process to get the project off to a strong start.
Goal 1 Meet with City Project Staff
Goal 2 Meet with External Agencies
Goal 3 Meet with Residents and Businesses
Goal 4 Organize a “Partnering” Session
Goal 5 Prepare the Construction Management Work Plan
Goal 6 Conduct the Preconstruction Conference
MEET WITH CITY PROJECT STAFF
Our first goal for project kickoff will be to meet with each of the various City staff with an interest in the projects to define their expectations and to establish roles, responsibilities, methods and amounts of communication desired, decision making/
approval processes, and the level of involvement desired.
This meeting will also clarify the procedures for submittal review, RFI responses, potential change orders, change order approvals, progress payments, and coordinating aspects of the work internal to the City such as labor compliance. Some of the procedures may require the development of flowcharts and written procedures that will be included in a Construction Management Work Plan.
By doing this up front, we gain a thorough understanding of City staff involvement and expectations that can be used in the development of the Construction Management Work Plan and provide an understanding of the CM services needed for 104
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 18 the project. We will also work to identify all potential project stakeholders, including external agencies.
MEET WITH EXTERNAL AGENCIES
The second goal will be to meet with external agencies that will be interfacing with this project to inform them of the planned work, roadway detours, and methods of ingress and egress through the affected work zones and the timing of work zone transitions from one section of the roadway to the next, and to coordinate utility shutdowns and return of service.
MEET THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES
The third goal will be to walk door-to-door to residents in the area of the pump station modification to identify ourselves and notify residents, business owners/managers, and the neighborhood in the vicinity of the work site (collectively residents) of the work that will be performed on their street. We will provide information as to the how and why of the project, provide project durations, and establish lines of communication between the residents and the construction staff. Our objective is to treat the residents in the vicinity of the construction operation how we would want to be treated. When speaking with the public, we will provide an understanding of what is going to happen, who to contact in the event there are issues, and how long it will take to have issues addressed. We will also increase awareness to the value of these improvements for the City to enhance critical services.
ORGANIZE AN INFORMAL “PARTNERING” SESSION
The fourth goal will be to organize and conduct an informal “partnering” session with the City staff, consultant project team, CM services staff, and the GC (including their major subcontractors and suppliers). These meetings are important to establish a project culture of cooperation and collaboration between the parties.
This initial partnering session will be led by West Yost and will identify the goals of each of the participants, establish perceived challenges of the projects, and identify action items and priorities needed to achieve these goals and to minimize/ eliminate the anticipated challenges.
PREPARE THE CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT WORK PLAN
The fifth goal will be to prepare a Construction Management Work Plan. Completion of the first four subgoals, provides the correct information to prepare the overall work plan for the project. The information and work plans developed in those “meetings and workshops” will be integrated with the standard CM scope of services to create a comprehensive Construction Management Work Plan that will define roles, responsibilities, procedures, timelines, potential risks, public outreach, safety, quality, time, and cost management.
CONDUCT THE PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE
The sixth goal is to conduct the Preconstruction Conference; a very important kick-off to the construction contract with the GC. This conference sets the groundwork for how we will conduct business and administer the contract. The focus will be on establishing lines of communication, mobilizing, temporary facilities, safety, security, authorities and superintendence, early deliverables, labor compliance, notifications, traffic control, and setting up appropriate environmental controls to commence construction.
Quality Management
Construction quality is defined by the project plans and specifications; codes such as American Concrete Institute (ACI), American water Works Association (AWWA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Welding Society (AWS), National Electrical Code (NEC), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); approved product data and shop drawing submittals, clarifications addressed through RFIs; and executed change orders.
PROJECT SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Familiarization with project requirements allows us to accurately confirm that the GC’s level of project detail is appropriate. A focused effort to fully understand the project components and sequence of construction, prepare an inventory of required administrative and technical submittals, and develop a 90-day schedule that defines the administrative requirements will get the project off to a good start. Administrative requirements include permits, staging plans, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans, among others. This documentation will need to be in place during the mobilization phase of the project. Being prepared sets the tone of the project and establishes that we, as the CM&I providers, know the requirements, are experts in our field, and will provide value-added services.
PRODUCT DATA & TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT
SUBMITTAL KNOWLEDGE
As the submittals are transmitted, reviewed, and processed, it isessential that the inventory prepared at the beginning be updated to accurately reflect what exactly has been submitted and approved and what is yet to be submitted. Having an accurate grasp of the facts can assist the project in avoiding rework or delaying the project.
INSPECTION, NOT OBSERVATION
Our approach to inspection is: We are inspectors and not observers. Inspection confirms that all aspects are being complied with by measuring and testing. Inspection includes confirming proper trench and pavement subgrade preparation with testing, continuous observation to confirm trench subgrade is firm and unyielding, piping is installed per manufacturer’s recommendations, approved trench bedding and pipezone
105
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 19 materials are placed, and backfill and compaction operations are performed in accordance with the plans and specifications. We require signoffs from our construction inspectors (CIs) on all pipe hydrostatic and disinfection testing. Everything gets confirmed by us and the GC.
Accountability
Accountability is the acknowledgement and assumption of responsibility for actions, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance, and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain, and be answerable for resulting consequences. In construction, many participants must be held accountable to meet their obligations and responsibilities. The participants include the GC, subcontractors, and suppliers; the design engineer and their subconsultants and supporting staff; the City’s project consultant team; and us as the CM&I provider and our subconsultants. Everyone has responsibilities to perform correctly and in a timely manner.
BALL-IN-COURT
One of our approaches to holding people accountable is using the Ball-in-Court (BIC) approach. Weekly progress meetings usually address the current issues facing the project. To resolve them or move the issue closer to being resolved, we clarify what is expected and assign a BIC to an individual. At each meeting, we address the action items with those individually responsible to get BICs closed out. This is an effective way to motivate participants and hold them accountable to meet their commitments.
BUILD A COLLABORATIVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
For any construction project to be completely successful, it is essential that the entire team adopt a collaborative working relationship environment. If teams are divisive or antagonistic toward each other, the relationships become competitive, personal, and often degrades to combative communication or interactions. This can destroy morale and often results in disputes and claims.
When project teams work together to resolve potential disputes while maintaining professionalism, chances for success are greatly enhanced. Accountability can be created in a manner that avoids defensive and combative behavior, supports working toward common goals, achieves a high-quality product, avoids additional costs, and reaches a successful completion.
Another key aspect of building a collaborative working
environment is how we integrate City staff into the project team.
Our approach is always to have a member of the City staff be a member of the project team. This staff member is chosen by the City and will, at a minimum, be involved in daily coordination and weekly progress meetings.
Communication
When project participants gather in a partnering session, the one most often repeated objective they are interested in maintaining or improving is enhanced levels of communication.
When project participants communicate at high levels, the team is viewed as a “high performing” team.
Documentation
Communication comes in many different forms such as
written (emails, submittals, RFIs, memos, minutes, letters, test results, procedures, certificates, etc.), verbal (what was said in meetings or what was agreed to in the field), and non-verbal (body language, promptness, ability to listen). Our approach to managing communication starts with using the web-based Document Control System (DCS), Procore.
West Yost has used Procore on previous projects and our staff are very confident in its use. Project team members J.P. Davis, Ted Doty, and Amy Rangel have become very proficient at the use of this software and are extremely confident they can rapidly bring any unfamiliar users on the team up to speed.
All correspondence related to the administration of the project can be created and/or processed in Procore such as submittals, RFIs, change orders, and daily reports. Reports are also pulled from Procore such as the submittal logs, RFI logs, meeting agendas and minutes, and correspondence logs to use in the weekly Progress Meetings. Below is the main dashboard used on a recent project.
We believe that a DCS, is really a project management tool to keep all participants informed and able to create, review, respond, and track every piece of documentation and other written communication. It has been proven that projects with excellent documentation are more successful at achieving their performance objectives – especially dispute prevention.
A PAPERLESS ENVIRONMENT KEEPS EVERYONE
INFORMED AND MORE PRODUCTIVE
Our experiences using CM software such as Procore, which electronically stores and organizes information and data, provides a real-time file cabinet that allows all parties involved to understand what is under review and what has been
approved. Having this type of comprehensive system that allows the team to operate in a nearly paperless environment promotes a more organized and a better-informed team, which leads to higher productivity.

WEEKLY PROGRESS/MONTHLY
CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS
We will prepare agendas and minutes, conduct the weekly progress meetings with the GC, City staff, environmental consultants (if necessary), City staff, and other members of the project team to review overall progress, coordination, and communication related to safety, submittals, RFIs, changes, progress payments, coordination with operations, progress schedules, and quality. If other special meetings are necessary, such as monthly internal project management meetings with the City and Design Engineer, West Yost will prepare agendas, conduct, and collect summaries of the discussions. Open items will be tracked to completion. The meetings will be documented in the City’s preferred document control system.
Deliverable: Prepare the agendas and current logs for the meeting and prepare/issue meeting minutes, logs, and the GC’s look-ahead schedule.
REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFIs)
The CM team will receive all RFIs generated and issued by the construction GC and will be initially reviewed by West Yost then forwarded to the design consultant. Responses by the design consultant will be reviewed for completeness and, if found satisfactory, returned to the GC. If the response appears to have changed the contract scope, quality, or time, a potential change order (PCO) number will be assigned and used to track its resolution to closeout. Logs will be generated and discussed during the weekly change order meetings.
Deliverable: Make final edits to the response which may include information on forthcoming change orders or field directives and update the RFI log weekly.
SUBMITTALS
The CM team will receive all shop drawings, product data, certifications, work plans, schedules, etc. typically required of construction contracts and confirm that they are uploaded in the PMIS by the GC. The submittals that are related to the design shall be forwarded to the City for review and comment. We will input the review comments into the PMIS and formally return the submittal to the GC. Logs will be maintained showing submittals in for review, submittals that have been returned with Amend and Resubmit status, and submittals not yet transmitted by the GC.
Construction-related submittals such as work plans, safety plans, SWPPPs, shoring plans, etc. will be reviewed with the submittal and comments transmitted to the City for their records.

Deliverable: Prepare and issue monthly status reports and present during monthly construction meetings.
108
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 22
PROGRESS PAYMENTS
The CM and CI will review the updated Monthly Progress
Payments, compare the amounts identified by the GC, and either accept the amount requested or negotiate a different amount. A summary document will be prepared and signed off by the West Yost CM and the GC certifying the amount due. The progress payment request will be transmitted to the City for approval, processing, and payment.
Deliverable: Review and approve the GC’s monthly progress payments, CM sign off, and submittal to the City for continued processing, perform labor compliance interviews, confirm receipt of GC’s certified payroll reports, and provide Bid Item Payment Sheets.
AS-BUILT RECORD DRAWINGS
Each month as part of the progress payment approval process, we will review the GC’s record set of as-built drawings and specifications. Notations such as RFI responses, clarifications, and change orders will be checked. The progress payments may be withheld until the record drawings are maintained to an acceptable level. At project closeout, the GC will transmit their as-built record drawings to West Yost. West Yost will review these updated plans and compare them with our version of the as-built conditions. If found to be acceptable, the West Yost CM will formally transmit those documents to the designer for incorporation into the final CAD drawing files.
Deliverable: Weekly updates to the CM’s as-built/conformed set of record drawings and specifications and transmittal of the CM’s and GC’s as-built record drawings to the design engineer at the conclusion of the project.
CHANGE ORDERS
We will create and maintain a PCO log that will be used to track project issues and known changes that have been identified by the GC through RFIs and/or Change Order Requests and by City-initiated changes. Management of the individual PCO will involve preparing a rough order-of-magnitude cost estimate and reviewing/estimating potential time impacts. Each item will be reviewed with the City to obtain their concurrence that the item is valid. If the work is necessary, negotiations will attempt to obtain a fair price for the work. If a fair price cannot be reached, or there is no time to negotiate, we will direct the work to proceed on time & materials via a Field Order/Directive. A final price will be summarized and agreed upon. West Yost will prepare formal change orders per City internal procedures. Once fully agreed the costs will be included in the GC’s schedule of values and West Yost will confirm the correct percent complete by which to authorize payment for each progress payment request submitted by the GC.
Deliverable: PCO Log, RFPs for potential change orders, individual agreed-to change orders for the GC’s and City’s signature, and field directives for change order work that can’t be negotiated in time or can’t obtain an agreed-to lump-sum quote.
DISPUTE/CLAIM RESOLUTIONS
If the attempts to resolve disputes with the GC at the field level are not successful, the CM will lead an informal partnering effort to resolve disputes/claims with the GC. The resolution process will involve a detailed review and summary of the contract wording and presentation to ascertain a fair interpretation of the contract requirements to present to the City. After reviewing findings with the City, a meeting will be held with the GC to present the findings and to hear their position. If there is a dispute with entitlement, the resolution will use an issue escalation process to resolve the matter at higher management levels of West Yost, the City, and the GC. If an equitable agreement still cannot be made, we will direct the GC to follow the guidelines in the front-end documents for filing a claim and then follow the requirements of the contract in resolving disputes in a more formal manner.
Deliverable: Issue summary including the applicable contract language, interpretation, public contract code rules, and a summary of the GC’s position including the cost and time impacts to any dispute or claim situation that may develop.
STARTUP & COMMISSIONING
West Yost will confirm the GC complies with the contract requirements for preparing test plans, procedures, and
adequately plans the work needed to test and startup each individual piece of equipment and system. Weekly startup meetings will be conducted by West Yost to review performance related to actual testing, O&M manual submittal and approvals, training, and issues found during the testing activities. West Yost will track the equipment Training requirements and assist in coordinating/scheduling the training sessions with City staff.
Testing activities will be witnessed by West Yost and when appropriate City O&M staff will be integrated with the activities so that when the operation of the new facilities are transferred to their control it will result in a smooth transition.
Deliverables: Reviews of test plans and procedures, review of the Commissioning Schedule, weekly startup meeting agendas and minutes, and review of test records and logging into the test plans.
PROJECT CLOSEOUT/FINAL COMPLETION
The CM will arrange a final inspection once the construction GC requests Substantial Completion. The inspection will create a final punch list of work items to be completed. The punch list will be transmitted to the GC with the decision on the substantial completion request. The remainder of the contract will be to confirm that the items on the punch list have been addressed and any other remaining deliverables received. 109
City of West Sacramento | South Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project CM&I Services, 24-048-RFP | September 17, 2024 23 West Yost will confirm that aspects of the project
administration have been completed, address any outstanding stop notices, lien release waivers have been received, and request that all suppliers and subcontractors come forward if payments for their services have not been made or other payment issues exist so that the release of retention can be made by the City. West Yost will assist the City in closing out the project that includes confirming receipt of all equipment instruction manuals, special warranties, and spare parts as required by the Contract Documents.
West Yost will prepare the final progress payment and prepare any final change order that might be necessary to address open contract items and recommend payment of the retention to the Contractor and filing of the Notice of Completion with the county’s recorder’s office.
Deliverables: Generate final punch list, correspondence recommending Final Acceptance be granted by the City
Council will be written, transmittal of electronic and any hard copies of all equipment instruction manuals, special warranties, and spare parts as required by the Contract Documents, and any processing needed to release the final payment/retention will be made.
2 Materials and Equipment Testing
Crawford & Associates, our materials testing & special
inspection subconsultant, will perform standard materials testing, quality assurance sampling, and testing of soil and concrete placement. We anticipate most of the special
inspections required will consist of pipe trench subgrade and backfill materials, concrete QA & compressive strength testing, and asphalt concrete (AC) compaction testing. West Yost will also provide oversight of equipment testing including pump performance curve, noise, and vibration verification, and instrumentation calibration and commissioning. The tests will comply with contract document requirements.
Deliverable: Test and inspection reports generated by our subconsultant for compaction and concrete quality assurance testing.
3 Labor Compliance
West Yost will confirm receipt of the monthly certified payroll reports (CPRs) submitted by the GC and perform spot checks of the GC’s CPRs to confirm general accuracy and completeness.
We will register the CM services portion of the contract on the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) website and will upload our certified payroll records for the prevailing wage inspection positions. We will also monitor the GC’s compliance with uploading their CPRs to the DIR website.
Deliverable: Monthly craft labor interviews, and a document that confirms receipt of the CPRs by the City for Progress Payment processing.
4 Construction Inspection (optional task
directed by City)
QUALITY CONTROL / INSPECTION
We will provide the day-to-day quality assurance inspection of the GC’s performance of the work, on an as-needed basis, as directed by the City. This will include confirming compliance with the contract plans, specs, approved submittals, applicable RFI responses, and approved change orders. If work is observed or tested to be in non-compliance with the contract a verbal notice followed by a Non-Compliance Notice (NCN) will be issued to the GC. If an NCN is issued, a corresponding payment value will be withheld on the monthly progress payment until the issue is satisfactorily resolved. Daily inspection reports will be written and kept in the PMIS software. The reports will contain a summary of the work performed, important discussions, and photos of the work performed. The overall quality requirements of the contract will be emphasized to the GC with pre-activity quality control meetings to review the planned work, contract requirements, submittals, RFIs, and change orders to confirm mutual understanding of the work.
Deliverable: Photo documentation of existing site conditions along the pipeline routes and photo documentation of project progress, response to the GC’s overall QC plan and individual QC plans, concrete testing reports, special inspection reports, on-site CI daily reports, non-compliance notices, stop notices (when appropriate), and a running QC deficiencies report. 5 Community Outreach (optional task
directed by City)
West Yost will provide Public Outreach services for the project, on an as-needed basis and as directed by the City, that will include door-to-door visits and direct U.S. Mail flyers to the area residents to keep them informed of the planned work and duration. We will work closely with the City’s Public Information Officer (PIO) to create and distribute community outreach exhibits to keep the community impacted by the construction activities informed.
Deliverables: Creation and printing of door hangers, develop City newsletter content, direct mail flyers to communicate with the local residents.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 20, 2024 ITEM # 9
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT TO MAXIMUS DEVELOPMENT INC. FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION OF THE HOMELESS EMERGENCY HOUSING FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CIP 51047)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Timothy Spinelli, Senior Project Manager
Capital Projects Department
Raul Huerta, Housing Manager
Economic Development and Housing Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to approve a contract award to Maximus Development Inc. for the repair and renovation of the former El Tejon and Pick Wick motels for homeless emergency housing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that Homeless Emergency Housing Facility Improvements Project (CIP 51047) is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the Class 1 (Existing Facilities) Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6 Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15301 and find that the determination represents the independent judgement of the City;
2) Award a construction contract to Maximus Development Inc. for the Homeless Emergency Housing Facility Improvements Project, which includes construction and renovation of the former El Tejon and Pick Wick motels;
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a contract with Maximus Development Inc. in an amount not to exceed $544,000;
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications, including time extensions, to the contract with Maximus Development Inc. with the approval from the City Attorney;
5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contract amendments up to 30% ($163,200) of the value of the contract; and
6) Approve Resolution 24-125 appropriating BHBH grant funds received from Yolo County to this project.
BACKGROUND
On April 10, 2024, the City Council approved the purchase of the former El Tejon and Pick Wick motels, located at 1821 West Capitol Avenue and 1809 West Capitol Avenue, respectively, to expand the City’s homeless emergency housing options. The City closed escrow on both properties in August 2024.
These two sites will also assist in transitioning participants from two other homeless emergency housing program locations, the former Rodeway Inn and Flamingo Motel, which are scheduled to terminate in December 2025 and mid-2026. These homeless emergency housing programs provide non-congregate interim housing to unhoused individuals with the goal of transitioning participants into permanent housing. Program participants also receive case management and other supportive services to help prepare them for this transition.
Both motel sites will require varying levels of rehabilitation to be ready for occupancy by program participants.
To support the necessary rehabilitation work and future program operations, the City was awarded $2.6 million in State Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program funds by Yolo County, of which $380,000 is specifically designated for repairs. Additionally, the City Council authorized an allocation of $482,660 in local Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to support needed repairs at both motel sites. The repair work will help ensure that program participants are placed in units that meet minimum health and safety requirements, reducing the likelihood of future unexpected repairs. 124
