PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZING ELIZABETH “LIZZY” SPINK

[ X ] Council [ ] Staff Lanaya Lewis, Public Information Officer City Manager’s Office
[ ] Other
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this proclamation is to recognize the heroic effort and selfless actions of Elizabeth “Lizzy” Spink.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council adopt the attached proclamation recognizing Lizzy Spink.

BACKGROUND
In late October 2025, the West Sacramento Fire Department responded to a middle school campus following a science laboratory accident involving two students. A flammable liquid ignited and was forced from an openended vessel, reaching the clothes and heads of two students during the experiment.

Elizabeth “Lizzy” Spink, a 14-year-old eighth-grade student, responded to help one of the impacted students.

She removed the student’s burning jacket, then extinguished the remaining flames. She provided additional assistance consistent with basic burn response practices.

West Sacramento Fire Captain Mike Rios noted, after reviewing video footage of the emergency, that Lizzy’s response was prompt, and her intervention likely prevented the affected student from sustaining more serious burns. According to Fire Captain Mike Rios, these actions may have prevented the student from sustaining more serious injuries.

ANALYSIS
Adoption of this proclamation spotlights the City Council’s recognition of Lizzy for her quick thinking and willingness to act when her classmate needed help. Lizzy demonstrated remarkable presence of mind and compassion in a crisis that could have resulted in greater harm.

WHEREAS, when a classmate’s clothing and hair accidentally ignited during the science experiment, Lizzy remained calm and responded by running to the student, removing their burning jacket and headphones to reduce further risk of injury, and patting out the remaining flames on the student; and
WHEREAS, despite experiencing ongoing medical challenges of her own, Lizzy chose to stay at school for the remainder of the day; and
WHEREAS, the incident was later reviewed by West Sacramento Fire Captain Mike Rios, who noted that her response was quick, appropriate, and likely prevented more burns to the affected student; and
WHEREAS, Lizzy’s actions reflect extraordinary courage, presence of mind, and selfless concern for another student’s safety, placing the well-being of others above her own condition and comfort.

SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-77 DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE CITY

MANAGER TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS TO COMMENCE AND COMPLETE

REAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS AND CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO.1 WITH WOOD RODGERS, INC. FOR THE NORTH 5TH STREET COMPLETE STREET PROJECT (CIP 16013)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Christian Asuncion, Senior Engineer
Capital Projects Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to obtain City Council adoption of Resolution 26-77, delegating authority to the City Manager to commence and complete real property transactions for the project, and approval of Contract Amendment No.1 to the professional services contract with Wood Rodgers, Inc. for the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (“Project”) (CIP 16013).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 26-77, delegating authority to the City Manager to undertake certain actions to commence and complete all real property transactions for the Project (Attachment 1); 2) Approve and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 (Attachment 3) to the professional services contract with Wood Rodgers, Inc. in the amount of $203,601.74; 3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications, with approval from the City Attorney; and
4) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to further extend the term of the contract, if necessary.

BACKGROUND
Currently, 5th Street is a four-lane, divided arterial with Class II bike facilities between C Street and Fountain Drive/Watercolor Lane. There is on-street parking on 5th Street between A Street and C Street; however, this segment has a gap in bicycle infrastructure and unsignalized pedestrian crossings. Additionally, there are sidewalk gaps along 5th Street and C Street.

The North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project includes a traffic analysis to review a proposed road diet and intersection safety improvements on 5th Street/Lighthouse Drive between C Street and Fountain Drive. The road diet would include enhanced Class II, parking-protected bike lanes and enhanced pedestrian crossings on 5th Street, between A Street and C Street, and on C Street, between 3rd Street and 6th Street.

Additionally, a proposed bicycle and pedestrian connection from A Street and 5th Street to the Riverwalk Trail will be analyzed.

The City recently completed the North Riverwalk Trail Extension, which extended the Riverwalk Trail from E Street and 2nd Street to the Broderick Boat Ramp at 4th Street. The connection at 5th Street and A Street to 4th Street and Broderick Boat Ramp will provide an ADA-accessible connection to the Riverwalk Trail. These regionally important projects enhance recreation opportunities, and it is important to develop a safe network to reach these destinations.

On June 28, 2023, the City was awarded a State Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant under Cycle 6 in the amount of $638,000 for the Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E), and Right-of-Way (ROW) phases. On March 14, 2024, the City requested a fund allocation for the PA&ED phase in the amount of $89,000. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated these funds at their May 17, 2024, meeting.

On November 5, 2024, the City released a formal solicitation for professional services for the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project (24-064-RFP). On January 15, 2025, City Council awarded a professional services contract for design to Wood Rodgers, Inc., to begin the design phase. On April 13, 2026, 18 North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity (CIP 16013) August 19, 2026

the City requested a fund allocation for the ROW and PS&E phases in the amount of $239,000 and $310,000, respectively. The CTC allocated these funds at their March 20, 2026 meeting.

When constructed, the North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project will improve safety, close gaps in the active transportation network, and provide people of all abilities with safe, accessible connections to walk or roll to their destinations. The project is located entirely within an SB 535–designated disadvantaged community and is adjacent to several senior and low-income housing developments. It will create a safe, lowstress active transportation network for the surrounding community, students, and visitors of all ages and abilities.

ANALYSIS
Resolution 26-77
On March 20, 2026, the CTC issued authorization to the City to proceed with the right-of-way phase for the Project. This authorization was required before ATP grant funds could be used for this phase of the Project. Now that this authorization has been received, Wood Rodgers, the lead consultant, and Monument ROW, the subconsultant for right-of-way services, will work closely with City staff to commence and complete the right-ofway acquisition process. The right-of-way effort will include real property acquisition discussions with the property owners of Assessor Parcel Numbers 010-523-012-000, 010-523-008-000, and 010-523-030-000.

Wood Rodgers Contract Amendment No. 1
The design phase for the Project is currently ongoing, with an anticipated completion date of August 2027. In order to complete the design phase, an additional amount of $203,601.74 is requested. This work will include completing the plans, specifications, and estimate to 100%, preparing a pavement analysis, preparing a Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration, and additional topographic survey.

Table 1. Wood Rodgers Contract
Amount
Original Contract (1/15/2025) $614,814.72
Amendment No. 1 (requested) $203,601.74
Total $818,416.46
Environmental Considerations
On January 21, 2026, the City Council adopted the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project with Resolution 26-8. As the project has not been modified since that time, no new environmental analysis is required, consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15168(c)(2).

Commission Recommendation
Not Applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
Not Applicable.

Alternatives
The City Council may choose among the following alternatives:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Amend the recommended actions.
3) Decline to approve the recommended actions or cancel the project.

Staff recommend Alternative 1 in order to keep the project on schedule. Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended because they would delay the project.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department. 19 North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity (CIP 16013) August 19, 2026

Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as CIP 16013: North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project and is fully funded. For the recommended action, there is sufficient funding available in the project budget and no additional funds are required.

Providing Geotechnical Services for the City of West Sacramento North 5th Street Complete Streets and Connectivity Project. RFP: 24-064-RFP 36 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026 ITEM # 5
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH

SCHAAF & WHEELER FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE BRYTE SEWER PUMP STATION REHABILITATION PROJECT (CIP 33031) INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Bridget K. McGinnis, Assistant 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 Schaaf & Wheeler for engineering services for the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (CIP 33031).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Award a professional services contract with Schaaf & Wheeler for engineering services for the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (CIP 33031);
2) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a professional services contract with Schaaf & Wheeler in an amount not to exceed $1,001,540, which includes any optional tasks; 3) Delegate authority to the City Manager, or his designee, to authorize any optional tasks. Optional tasks will remain optional unless and until expressly authorized in writing; 4) Authorize the City Manager or his designee to make contract amendments up to 10% ($100,154) of the total value of the contract;
5) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to this professional services contract, with approval from the City Attorney; and 6) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to extend the term of this contract, if necessary.

BACKGROUND
The Bryte Sewer Pump Station, located at the eastern end of Citrus Street, is a critical component of the City of West Sacramento’s wastewater conveyance system. Originally constructed in 1984 and last significantly upgraded in 2008, the station receives wastewater from its surrounding tributary area as well as flows conveyed from the Coke Lift Station.

In conjunction with the General Plan 2035, the City prepared the 2024 Sewer Master Plan Update to evaluate the condition and hydraulic capacity of the existing sewer conveyance system and identify improvements needed to maintain reliable wastewater service. The Sewer Master Plan identified the Bryte Sewer Pump Station as one of the City’s most critical infrastructure priorities. Hydraulic modeling indicates that the station has the largest capacity shortage in the City during peak wet weather conditions.

To address these deficiencies, the City established the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (CIP 33031). The project will evaluate and design substantial improvements to the existing facility. The design will evaluate improvements such as rehabilitation of existing components, construction of new pump station facilities, conversion to a submersible pump configuration, replacement of aging mechanical and electrical equipment, and upgrades to controls, monitoring, emergency power, and site access. These improvements will increase the station’s reliability, efficiency, and maintainability, improve its ability to manage peak wet weather flows, and reduce the risk of equipment failures, service disruptions, and sewer overflows.

The resulting recommendation includes a professional services contract that covers the full project lifecycle, including field investigations (geotechnical and topographic survey), preliminary design, final construction documents, PS&E (plans, specifications, and estimates), bidding support, and engineering services during construction.
37 Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation – Shaaf & Wheeler August 19, 2026

ANALYSIS
On May 8, 2026, the City solicited proposals for professional engineering services for the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (25-110-RFP) through the City’s online procurement system, OpenGov, to obtain proposals from engineering firms to conduct surveying, engineering reports preparation, environmental analysis and permitting, public outreach, utility coordination, right-of-way activities, PS&E, and design and support services. Two addenda were published during the solicitation period to clarify project requirements. On June 25, 2026, the City received six (6) proposals from the following qualified firms:
• Alisto Inc.
• BKF Engineers
• Bennett Engineering Services
• HDR Engineering, Inc.
• Schaaf & Wheeler
• Water Works Engineers, LLC.

The proposals were evaluated by a panel of City staff, consistent with the City’s purchasing policy. Proposals were evaluated based on firm qualifications, experience with comparable wastewater infrastructure projects, the expertise of key personnel, technical approach, and acceptance of the City’s standard contract. After reviewing Schaaf & Wheeler's qualifications, experience, and proposed technical approach, the staff selection panel determined that Schaaf & Wheeler has a strong understanding of the work to be performed and is qualified to provide engineering design services. Selection was based on the firm's experience with complex wastewater pump station projects and hydraulic systems, its understanding of the project's technical challenges, and its proposed approach to project implementation and sequencing. The attached contract includes the negotiated scope and fees to complete the assignment.

Environmental Considerations
This action is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”), because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c) and 15378(a), it is not subject to environmental review.

Environmental documentation required for the project will be conducted during the project development.

Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
Not applicable.

Alternatives
Following are the City Council’s primary action alternatives:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Modify or defer the recommended actions.
3) Elect not to proceed with the recommended actions or cancel the project.

Staff recommends Alternative 1 in order to facilitate the design in a timely manner and to meet the overall project schedule. Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended because they would delay the project.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with and review by the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Department and the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
This project is included in the City’s current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as CIP 33031: Bryte Pump Station Rehabilitation Project. The project is funded through the design phase by the City’s Sewer Impact Fee (Fund 502). There are currently sufficient funds in this CIP to award the contract Schaaf & Wheeler Civil Engineering Services.

Project Scope Proposal
June 25, 2026
Task 2.2 Geotechnical
Our subconsultant, Cornerstone Earth Group will prepare a geotechnical engineering report to characterize subsurface, groundwater, and soil conditions for the pump station rehabilitation and conversion to a submersible pump configuration. Work will include up to two 40-foot soil borings; coring of the existing dry well sidewall; soil and groundwater corrosivity evaluation; groundwater and dewatering considerations; seismic and foundation design parameters; excavation support recommendations; and evaluation of settlement; ground movement, uplift, pipe displacement, and constructability risks.

Cornerstone will also complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and Soil Quality Evaluation.

Recommendations will address foundations, underground structures, pipelines, shoring, dewatering, subgrade preparation, compaction, pipe stiffness, and pipe rating selection, and will be coordinated with final design development.

Task 2.3 Condition Assessment
Schaaf & Wheeler will review available information, identify data gaps, and conduct a site visit to verify existing conditions and discuss operations and maintenance with City staff. Following the site visit, the team will participate in a data review roundtable meeting with all stakeholders to confirm gaps in data, assumptions, preferred materials, configurations, alternatives, and operational considerations with the station operators and City engineers.

Schaaf & Wheeler, with electrical and structural subconsultants TJCAA and BCA, will assess existing Bryte Sewer Pump Station facilities for structural integrity, operational condition, and suitability for rehabilitation or continued use. The assessment will include the control and electrical building, electrical equipment, PG&E service, backup power, dry well, wet well, bypass vault, downstream force main, and approximately 3,620 linear feet of upstream 18-inch influent sewer. Work will document facility configuration, equipment information, wet well conditions using non-entry camera inspection, electrical and control system condition, known defects, operational issues, settlement, ground movement, piping displacement, structural distress, corrosion, and related deficiencies. Findings will be summarized in a Condition Assessment Report with recommended corrective actions.

Our subconsultant, Presidio Systems, Inc. will assess approximately 3,620 linear feet of piping. Schaaf & Wheeler will use the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) standards version 8 to classify pipe conditions as a basis for prioritizing and recommending improvements to sewer mains. Schaaf & Wheeler will couple the PACP rating for each pipe and detailed reviews of the inspection footage to assign a prioritization score for the urgency of the rehabilitation. The prioritization score is primarily based on the structural integrity of the sewer, inflow and infiltration impacts, and is intended to minimize the risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). These rankings will be included in the condition assessment report.

Schaaf & Wheeler will also complete a desktop study and field data collection for the downstream force main and related pump stations. Work will include developing a representative system curve, reviewing as-built information, and completing drawdown testing at strategic pump stations to calibrate system head loss, firm capacity, and station capacity impacts with Bryte Pump Station operation. We will use these results to evaluate force main condition using field-calibrated Hazen-Williams coefficients and to recommend any further investigations. Based on preliminary analysis, the force main appears undersized, so additional investigation may not be the best use of project funds; however, a field testing allowance is included under Task 7.

Task 2.4 Preliminary Design Memorandum
Schaaf & Wheeler and our subconsultants TJCAA and BCA will prepare a Preliminary Design Memorandum documenting the Basis of Design and recommended rehabilitation approach for contract document development. The memorandum will summarize field investigations, condition assessments, hydraulic evaluations, pump selections, electrical and controls reviews, electrical service adequacy, backup power, building rehabilitation or replacement alternatives, geotechnical findings, and related technical studies. The memorandum will also evaluate site and civil improvements, submersible pump station configuration, critical elevations, hydraulic and firm capacity requirements, pump replacement needs, wet well configuration, standby power, emergency storage, electrical systems, controls, SCADA integration, corrosion protection, maintenance access, and operational reliability. The memorandum will 12 52
Project Scope Proposal
June 25, 2026
compare rehabilitation and replacement alternatives, cost estimates, and capacity scenarios related to future infiltration and inflow (I&I) reduction efforts, and will identify the recommended design alternative, assumptions, constraints, and design considerations.

7.3 Task 3 Contract Documents
Task 3.1 65% Contract Documents
The 65% design submittal will establish the major project elements and include civil, mechanical, electrical, and SCADA-related components. Anticipated content includes civil notes, demolition plans, grading, site plans, pipeline plans and sections, mechanical plans and sections, electrical site plans, single-line diagrams, SCADA coordination drawings, project-specific details, standard details, construction notes, and draft staging areas. The submittal will also include a specification index, major project-specific specifications, calculations, technical data, maintenance considerations, equipment catalog cuts, construction cost estimate, and schedule.

Schaaf & Wheeler will coordinate with utility agencies and identify potential relocations, if needed.

Existing utilities will be shown on the drawings. If the preliminary design confirms that PG&E electrical service upgrades are needed, TJCAA will coordinate with PG&E and prepare service application documents. Coordination with the City’s SCADA consultants will also be performed for programmable logic controller (PLC) and control system programming and integration.

Task 3.2 95% Contract Documents
After City and stakeholder review of the 65% submittal and authorization to proceed, Schaaf & Wheeler will prepare the 95% design submittal. The submittal will address review comments and further refine drawings, civil and electrical plans, details, final staging areas, structural notes, plans, and details. The 95% package will also include completed specifications, updated civil, structural, and electrical calculations, technical data, maintenance considerations, equipment catalog cuts, an updated construction cost estimate, and construction schedule. Schaaf & Wheeler will continue coordination with the City’s SCADA consultant for PLC and control system programming.

Task 3.3 Final Contract Documents
Following resolution of City comments on the 95% submittal and City approval, Schaaf & Wheeler will prepare the final design submittal. The final package will incorporate review comments and include complete construction drawings, specifications, cost estimate, and probable construction schedule. The final design package will be prepared for signature, submitted for final City review and approval, and finalized as bid-ready documents after addressing any remaining comments or clarification requests.

Task 3.4 Constructability Review and Update
Schaaf & Wheeler will coordinate with the City’s Construction Manager (CM) as needed for them to perform a constructability review of the plans, specifications, and supporting technical information. Based on the constructability review, Schaaf & Wheeler will coordinate with the CM and the City to deliver a final Bid Package for Contract Documents.

7.4 Task 4 Bid Support
During the bid phase, our team will respond to written questions from prospective bidders, provide design clarifications, and assist the City with preparation of addenda, as directed. If requested, we will also attend the pre-bid meeting.

7.5 Task 5 Engineering Support During Construction
Task 5.1 Engineering Support During Construction
During construction, Schaaf & Wheeler’s scope includes the following:
 Attendance at the pre-construction meeting
 Participation in weekly construction coordination meetings as needed (assumes 10)  Review and respond to shop drawings and submittals (80 Submittals; 40 Resubmittals), change order requests (up to 10), and requests for information (580 RFIs)  Participation in punch list walkthrough and development of the punch list 13 53
Project Approach Proposal
June 25, 2026
Task 5.2 Record Drawings
At project closeout, Schaaf & Wheeler and its subconsultants will prepare record drawings based on contractor-provided markups, incorporating RFI responses and other contract changes.

7.6 Task 6 Environmental Clearance
Our subconsultant Onterris will assist with environmental clearance for the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project. Although our preliminary review indicates that the project may qualify for a Categorical Exemption, Onterris will complete a preliminary environmental review and CEQA pathway findings memorandum to identify potential constraints, confirm the appropriate CEQA path, and evaluate whether existing City documentation or prior environmental review may support a streamlined approach.

If the findings confirm that a Categorical Exemption is appropriate, Onterris will prepare a Categorical Exemption Memorandum and Notice of Exemption support document. If a different CEQA approach is recommended, Onterris can prepare the required CEQA documentation as additional scope.

7.7 Task 7 Optional Tasks
Task 7.1 Appraisals, Appraisal Reviews, and Property Rights Support Schaaf & Wheeler does not anticipate that property acquisition will be required for the Bryte Pump Station Project. Schaaf & Wheeler will, to the extent possible, design all improvements within City-owned properties, easements, and public rights-of-way. If unforeseen conditions lead to the requirement of clarification of property boundaries, additional easements, or limited property rights, our subconsultant Associated Right of Way Service (AR/WS), at the City’s direction, will prepare appraisals in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act and the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practice, in compliance with California Eminent Domain law. They may also act as appraisal reviewers in accordance with the Uniform Act and prepare a Review Appraiser Certificate.

Property rights support may also include preparation of written offers, acquisition documentation, or negotiation assistance, as requested by the City. This work assumes non-complex acquisitions (no damage or impacts to buildings or other major improvements) and non-complex property types (no contaminated, publicly-owned, or special-use parcels); No relocation assistance will be necessary; and no federal funding will be used. Two of the three sides of the City’s lot are bounded by railroad property.

Because it is not known if any properties may be involved in the property acquisition process, we have included the scope to complete the necessary property acquisition and rights support for both railroad properties and one private property including the preparation of needed plat and legal documents. If the City determines that portions of this scope are needed, we can refine this to meet the City’s needs.

Task 7.2 Potholing
Schaaf & Wheeler's subconsultant, Level A, will provide potholing services at the request of the City. For this scope, we have assumed three total potholes, up to 10 feet in depth. This task will require City authorization. Schaaf & Wheeler recommends completing any potholing by completion of the 65% design submittal to ensure any found utility conflicts can be addressed through the contract documents.

Task 7.3 Field Testing Allowance for Downstream Force Main A field-testing allowance is provided for as needed testing of the downstream force main. Testing may include camera inspection, smart ball assessment, non-destructive material testing, or other pertinent methods up to the allowance amount identified. Due to unknown conditions for access, isolation, and other constraints, exact recommendations are not known at this time. Following the desktop study and condition assessment study for the downstream force main in Task 2.3, Schaaf & Wheeler will provide recommendations for this task.

8. Project Approach
Understanding the City’s goals for the Bryte Sewer Pump Station is key to project success. After review of the RFP and conversations with the City’s team at the preproposal meeting, we feel that we have a good understanding of the City’s goals, but we look forward to confirming them through further coordination 14 54
Project Approach Proposal
June 25, 2026
with the City. Key components that should be confirmed prior to proceeding with the work are described in the following sections.

8.1 Pump Station Hydraulics,
Components, and Reliability
Schaaf & Wheeler brings extensive experience
evaluating complex pump station hydraulics including
numerous shared force main calibration studies.

Through hundreds of pump station assessments, our
team has developed a strong understanding of
applicable code requirements and hydraulic
constraints that are often overlooked in pump station
evaluations. We will apply this knowledge to help
ensure the selected pumps best align with the City’s
goals and operational needs. In addition, our project
manager, Glen M. Anderson, PE, is a certified Pump
Systems Assessment Professional (PSAP), further
strengthening our team’s technical qualifications.

For the Bryte Sewer Pump Station, we have
developed a system curve that represents the
variation in duty conditions due to the differing flows within a shared force main. Figure 1 shows a
schematic configuration of the existing configuration,
including flows in the force main based on firm capacities outlined in the City’s Sewer Master Plan. The figure to the right shows the Bryte Sewer Pump station force main system curves and transposed pump curves, which are based on a preliminary calibration of the force main from the as-built drawings provided. We have developed two system curves—one for no downstream pump stations running (dashed) and one for all pump stations running (solid)—representing the anticipated low-head and highhead conditions that the Bryte SSPS may experience. This allows us to confirm that any selected pumps can operate through all City pump station operating scenarios.

Figure 2. Largest Practical Pump Configuration
The RFP and the Sewer Master Plan identify a need for a rated duty point of 9,000 gpm for future peak flows, upgraded from the existing firm capacity of 3,400 gpm. To accommodate this flow rate with the existing force main, it would require approximately 1450 pumping horsepower, resulting in velocity exceeding 14 feet per second and pressures exceeding 225 psi in the force main, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1. Existing Bryte Sewer Pump Station Schematic
15 55

Figure 4. Optimized Pumps with a Modeled 20-inch Diameter Force Main Schaaf & Wheeler investigated the pumps outlined in Table 1 below as options to increase the capacity of the Bryte Sewer Pump Station while also considering the operating costs and benefits of including a wider range of operating conditions.

Table 1. Comparison of Pump Alternatives
Pump Rated HP Bryte Pump Station Capacity (GPM)
Existing Force Main Modeled 20" Force Main
N 3231/775 ~ 480 335 1 Pump: 4,500 - 5,100 GPM 1 Pump: 5,500 - 6,200 GPM 2 Pumps: 5,200 - 6,200 GPM 2 Pump: N/A
N 3312/775 3 ~ 670 280 1 Pump: 3,800 - 4,650 GPM 1 Pump: 5,100 - 6,400 GPM 2 Pumps: 4,100 - 5,200 GPM 2 Pumps: 6,000 - 7,400 GPM
N 3301 MT 3 ~ 636 140 1 Pump: 2,000 - 3,000 GPM 1 Pump: 2,600 - 3,900 GPM 2 Pumps: 2,400 - 3,500 GPM 2 Pumps: 3,200 - 4,900 GPM
We evaluated the use of the largest practical rail-mounted Flygt pump (N 3231; ~335 HP) to increase the station’s firm capacity within the existing system’s constraints. As shown in Figure 2 and demonstrated in Table 1, the use of a second pump in parallel increases the total station flow by 10%–20%. A 75% increase in pumping horsepower is needed.

As an alternative to
installing the pumps
identified in Figure 2,
Schaaf & Wheeler
evaluated the use of
pumps that are more
tailored to near-term
operations. The use of
smaller pumps can
increase existing
capacity without such
a drastic increase in
horsepower, as shown
in Figure 3. The use of
an N 3312 ~280 HP
pump will increase the
near-term capacity,
compared to the existing firm capacity, by 10%-35% with a single pump running and 20%-50% with two pumps running in parallel. Peak velocities in this scenario still exceed 12 feet per second, but that is limited to times when the large pumps are running. The existing force main size limits the ability increase the capacity. Based on
previous experience with
stations that experience
high peak flows
seasonally, Schaaf &
Wheeler recommends
considering the
installation of low flow
pumps. As an example,
N 3301 ~140 HP is
plotted demonstrating
that most standard flows
can be used for these
pumps operating at a
significantly lower HP,
reducing overall
electrical costs.

Figure 3. Optimized Pumps for Near-Term Conditions
16 56
Project Approach Proposal
June 25, 2026
As demonstrated in Figures 2 and 3 above, the existing force main size provides diminishing returns as flows increase. To demonstrate the benefit of increasing the size of the Bryte force main, we modeled a 20-inch force main replacement shown to the right in Figure 4. The same pumps are plotted to demonstrate the increase in flow and subsequent decrease in velocities the force main. Use of the same pumps mentioned above would convey between 30% and 45% more flow depending on the pumps and flow conditions. This demonstrates that the N 3231 and N3312 also have the ability to operate through many hydraulic conditions that allow alternatives for the City to expand capacities to meet future demands.

While we primarily focus on the hydraulic benefits of the different pump configurations, there are additional benefits, including cost savings during construction (as discussed below) and for long term operations and maintenance. Energy costs are significantly lower if low-flow pumps are installed to maintain station capacity most of the year. Smaller pumps also have less expensive replacement parts and small associated valving and piping, which all decrease long-term maintenance costs. Schaaf & Wheeler looks forward to discussing pump configuration and force main strategy with the City.

8.2 Evaluating VFD Replacement
Schaaf & Wheeler brings an in-depth
understanding of how VFDs function in
pumping systems and will evaluate their
use in the proposed pump station
rehabilitation to ensure that, if used, they
provide maximum benefit to operations.

Systems with high lift and short or larger
diameter force mains, for example, often
lack compatibility with VFDs due to
limitations in how much the VFD can be
turned down. Alternatively, systems with
low lift and high dynamic head generally
see the most benefit from VFD use.

Other considerations, such as harmonics,
component reliability, and physical
constraints are key factors in VFD
selection that Schaaf & Wheeler explores in any pumping assessment. For the Bryte Sewer Pump Station, we anticipate significant friction loss as flows increase. When downstream stations are pumping to the shared force main,
their added friction loss
appears as increased static
head in the Bryte sanitary
sewer system curve. As
such, a detailed VFD
analysis will be needed to
identify any operational
constraints and scenarios
that may limit maximum
turndown.

8.3 Phasing/Sequencing
& Constructability
Having worked on hundreds
of pump station projects,
large and small, Schaaf &
Wheeler has a keen
understanding of current
industry lead times and how
contractors will sequence and perform the work required. Schaaf & Wheeler considers constructability in 17 57
Project Approach Proposal
June 25, 2026
making design decisions to mitigate potential conflicts or confusion during the construction process and to reduce or eliminate the need for bypass pumping. Phasing and sequencing improvements are often considered to streamline the construction process, keeping projects on schedule and minimizing makeready and temporary costs that provide no long-term benefit to the City. Sample sequencing details from our work on San Mateo’s Dale Avenue Sewer Pump Station (shown above) demonstrate the creative thinking that Schaaf & Wheeler can bring to this project. Considerations for time of year (dry season versus wet season) along with the more complicated electrical improvement sequencing led to a project that used zero bypass pumping for a 60 MGD station. We aim to bring the same project-specific analysis to the Bryte Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project.

Schaaf & Wheeler has explored preliminary means to bypass the Bryte pump station based on our review of the record drawings. Upon initial review, we believe that it is possible to construct the station without bypassing by installing the new station in an alternate location as shown in Figure 5, below.

Schaaf & Wheeler laid out a potential site plan that includes two precast concrete wet wells and valve vaults that contain high flow and low flow pumps. There is space to install the new high flow pump station before demolishing the existing pump station. The existing station can operate up until the new high flow station is commissioned.

Figure 5. Phase 1 of Construction
Following startup of the high flow pump station, the existing station can be demolished and abandoned in place as necessary to make space to finish construction of the low flow pump station. Following demolition of the existing building and appurtenance, the Contractor can construct the CMU building and the standby diesel engine generator as shown in Figure 6, below. There are a number of appurtenances to make operations and maintenance simpler, including additional isolation, updating to a single wet well, and managing hydraulic connectivity. In addition, the design will include resurfacing, re-fencing, and upgrading amenities requested by the City. Schaaf & Wheeler has identified preliminary station configurations that will remain within the existing bounds and should eliminate need for property acquisition.

The station configurations shown within this proposal represent a cost-effective and fast approach to installing new wet wells. Should the City prefer an alternative wet well configuration, we can gladly accommodate it and will bring the same creativity to its implementation. Schaaf & Wheeler looks forward to discussing potential site configuration alternatives and amenities with the City. 18 58

8.4 Implementation
With experience from several similar projects, Schaaf & Wheeler has developed and will employ several tested tools as part of project management efforts. These procedures and tools will allow us to provide the City with the most effective project management throughout the project in order to deliver the design on time and on budget.
 Staffing Allocations: Schaaf & Wheeler holds weekly internal workload meetings to forecast staffing needs and prioritize critical path projects. Workloads are projected six months ahead to proactively manage schedules and avoid deadline conflicts.
 Consistent Communication: Monthly conference calls will provide regular updates to City staff on progress, needed input, and key decisions. These meetings allow issues to be identified and resolved quickly, limiting impacts to schedule and budget.
 In Person Meetings: While much communication and coordination can occur through digital means, there is a significant benefit of face-to-face meetings. We include an in person kickoff meeting and in person design review meetings in our project management scope to encourage a collaborative environment to achieve the end result desired by the City.  Detailed Billing Reports: Monthly billing summaries will accompany invoices and identify work performed, percent complete, remaining budget, and a brief progress summary. This allows the City to compare work completed against
budget spent and make adjustments
if needed.
 Principal-In-Charge (PIC): If
concerns arise regarding staff or
subconsultant performance, the PIC
can be brought in immediately to
resolve issues and keep the project
on track. Benjamin Shick, PE, will
serve as PIC for this project.
 QA/QC Procedure: For quality
assurance and quality control, we
have developed a detailed process
that includes independent review of
19 59
Proposal
June 25, 2026
the deliverable by an uninvolved engineer with significant experience in the field. The flow chart above details the QA/QC process that Schaaf & Wheeler implements for all client deliverables. Larry Johnson, PE, is the QA/QC lead for this project, and he has completed many projects similar in scope and size to the City’s proposed rehabilitation. He will apply his 14+ years of experience to his reviews.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to award a professional services contract with WSP USA (WSP) for technical transit planning services and preparation of the West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan (CIP 12022).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council:
1) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a professional services agreement with WSP for technical transit planning services (CIP 12022), in an amount not to exceed $847,578; 2) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to make contract amendments up to $85,000 of the total contract value; and
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or administrative modifications to the services contract, with approval from the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND
West Sacramento is directly adjacent to Downtown Sacramento and within the Sacramento region urban core, but access to and within the city can be challenging due to geographic and transportation barriers. The Sacramento River separates West Sacramento from Sacramento at our north and east boundary with local transit service crossings limited to the historic Tower Bridge and US 50/Interstate 80 Business Loop. Internal to West Sacramento, the Union Pacific and Sierra Northern Railroad corridors, freeways, and the Deep-Water Ship Channel connecting the Port of West Sacramento with the San Francisco Bay bisect the City creating barriers to connectivity. Only three arterial street corridors provide access between the northern half of West Sacramento and Southport. The pedestrian and transit network has low permeability as a result, making it difficult for residents to access and get around by transit, and long travel times to downtown during peak hours make transit compete poorly with driving.

Fixed route and intercity bus transit (Yolobus) and paratransit services are provided by Yolo County Transportation District (YoloTD). Fixed-route transit ridership has declined significantly in the last several years, peaking in 2018 at over 100,000 trips annually. In response to declining fixed-route transit ridership, the City collaborated with YoloTD to streamline fixed-route Yolobus service and developed a "Downtown Shuttle" by directing transit lines to the West Sacramento Transit Hub before continuing into the downtown Sacramento center. The Downtown Shuttle service feature became popular with transit riders and service to Downtown Sacramento from the West Sacramento Transit Center is now integrated into all local Yolobus routes.

Two Yolobus routes in Southport were consolidated into one - Route 37 operates on weekdays only and serves as a "super commuter" route to Downtown Sacramento for the AM and PM peak commute times. No other Yolobus routes currently serve the Southport area and no intracity route linking the north and south parts of the City exists, requiring riders to disembark and transfer at the West Sacramento Transit Center to continue their trips between the north and south parts of the City. Despite efforts to streamline services, only 41% of Yolobus ridership has returned post-pandemic - with similar transit agencies seeing 60-76% of riders return. Average cost per passenger trip has also increased over 20% in that time.

While transit is a viable option for many, most residents don't live within walking distance of a transit stop. Beyond the disconnect within the existing transit system between socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods in the north half of the City from more affluent amenity rich areas of Southport, low-density transit catchment areas across pockets of the city result in low ridership and higher costs per rider. Additionally, transit stations currently lack alternative mobility options to travel the first and last mile to and from destinations. 68 Consideration of Contract Award – WSP – West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan August 19, 2026

To overcome transit deficiencies, the City developed a framework for a publicly funded on-demand flat-rate citywide transit service (West Sacramento On-Demand) using branded 7-passenger hybrid vans and contracts with private rideshare operator Via doing business as Nomad Transit, LLC., to manage the ride hailing platform and algorithm for the service, as well as the fleet of vans and drivers for the on-demand service. In October 2024, the City launched the West Sacramento - Downtown Sacramento On-Demand Rideshare Pilot. As part of the Rideshare Pilot, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District awarded the City $13,700 in Clean Air Funds to cover the fares for rides that start or end in the Pilot's zones. Staff estimated that this funding would cover an estimated 3,900 rides, or an estimated 2% increase in annual ridership on the Rideshare platform. The demand and popularity of the Pilot zones exceeded those projections, and Clean Air Funds were fully expended within 3 months. This Pilot demonstrated that strong transit demand exists between Downtown Sacramento and West Sacramento, particularly service to the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) operated Light Rail Transit (LRT) and confirms robust estimated ridership projections for the planned LRT service into West Sacramento referred to locally as the Downtown Riverfront Streetcar (Streetcar).

The Streetcar project is a long-planned regional transit project led initially by SACOG on behalf of West Sacramento and Sacramento, then taken over by the Sacramento Regional Transit District to extend light-rail service across the Sacramento River via the Tower Bridge, connecting West Sacramento with downtown Sacramento and Sacramento Valley Station. A rail connection between the two cities has been considered in various forms for several decades, while development of the current project began more directly in the early 2010s. The project has received substantial regional support, including funding through West Sacramento’s voter-approved Measure V transportation sales tax, designation as a regional funding priority by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, and congressional advocacy led by Congressmember Doris Matsui. The project’s proposed financial plan has included a combination of federal, state, regional, and local funds; however, the anticipated Federal Transit Administration Capital Investment Grant has remained subject to completion of the federal approval process and execution of a construction grant agreement.

The project is intended to improve regional mobility and transit access, connect major employment, entertainment, and intercity transportation destinations, support infill development, and provide environmental benefits through zero-emission rail service. Based on SacRT’s current public schedule, construction had been expected to begin in early 2027, with completion anticipated in 2030, provided that final approvals, funding agreements, and construction bids remained consistent with project assumptions.

The project nevertheless faced significant financial and schedule risks over the years. Recently, tariffs and volatility in steel and other construction-material prices, continued labor-cost escalation, higher fuel and freight costs, rising inflation, and broader geopolitical and supply-chain disruptions have placed upward pressure on major infrastructure projects nationwide. As a result of these external factors, there is a high likelihood that construction contractor bids will significantly exceed funds sourced for the project.

In addition, uncertainty regarding the timing and execution of federal Capital Investment Grant agreements nationwide, including the current administration withholding funds from public transit projects, have elevated the risk for all transit projects that have not yet received final federal construction commitments; including the Streetcar project which is under a Federal Transit Administration deadline to obligate federal funds by September 2027.

Both SacRT and YoloTD are updating their respective Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP). For YoloTD, the last plan was developed in 2014 and much has changed since then in travel habits, funding, and technology, including the emergence of app-based rideshare services. The SRTP outlines how each transit agency’s public transportation system will operate and serve local communities. West Sacramento is currently served by YoloTD and are within the YoloTD service boundary with a long-term agreement in place to provide public transit.

Additionally, the City is located within the SacRT jurisdictional boundary and city staff are currently working with SacRT to obtain a full understanding of potential impacts around the Streetcar project including not only capital costs, but potential increases in the cost of operations and maintenance of potential LRT service within the city.

At this time, additional work and new expenses on the Streetcar project are suspended until City staff have fully assessed the implications of these anticipated cost impacts on the viability of the project.

ANALYSIS
The West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan is not intended to simply produce a general list of desirable transit services and projects. It is intended to help the City determine what transit services West Sacramento should 69 Consideration of Contract Award – WSP – West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan August 19, 2026

provide, what investments should be pursued, who should provide and fund those services, and what the City can realistically implement over the next 10 to 20 years.

The plan will evaluate existing and emerging West Sacramento transit modes with respect to our growing population and declining transit ridership trends. Plan partners including YoloTD, SacRT, and Via, with support from SACOG will develop and refine community-vetted local policies, strategies, and recommended transit and road infrastructure improvements to help reduce transit delays, improve the reliability of public transportation, increase transit ridership, improve access and mobility for equity priority communities and transit-dependent populations, reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, reduce congestion and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and improve traffic safety while balancing service cost, infrastructure cost, and performance.

This proposed plan, its policies and resulting improvements will be rooted in community feedback and collaborative public participation to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and seamless integration of public bus, rail, rideshare and potential bus and light rail transit solutions. In addition, this plan intends to thoroughly explore the costs associated with providing a multimodal transit system, including identifying near-and long-term projected capital, operations, and maintenance costs – as well as potential funding sources for transit system components.

On July 1, 2025, City staff received a letter conditionally awarding the City an amount of $431,490 with a match requirement of 50% the total projected cost or $431,490. The City Council allocated $600,000 for Transit Priority, Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan development in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP 12022) in fiscal year 2022/2023, providing the required match amount and an additional allocation of $168,510 remaining for contingency and staff time.

On September 17, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-92 authorizing the city to enter into a restricted grant agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to receive SB-1 Grant Funds to prepare the West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan in accordance with the Caltrans and SACOG approved Scope of Work developed by city staff in cooperation with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), YoloTD, SacRT, and Via. That agreement was promptly executed to initiate consultant procurement.

On April 24, 2026, Request for Proposals for West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan (26-043-RFP) was released with a response deadline of June 2, 2026. Four responsive proposals were received and reviewed by a proposal committee consisting of one transportation professional from each partner agency/firm including YoloTD, SacRT, and Via; and two staff members from the West Sacramento Transportation and Mobility Division. Cost proposals were requested to be submitted separately from technical proposals and remained sealed through the initial proposal review and scoring process. After initial proposal scores were inputted separately by each of the panel members into the OpenGov procurement platform, the three highest ranking firms were then notified that they had been shortlisted for an interview based on firm qualifications, technical approach, staff experience, and quality of the proposal responses.

One-hour interviews were conducted on June 23, 2026, for each shortlisted firm. Panelists were provided a handbook with a structured framework for evaluating each consultant team consistent with the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP and each team were asked a series of questions to assess their ability to test assumptions, address fiscal and governance realities, evaluate tradeoffs, and produce a practical, politically realistic implementation strategy for public transit services in West Sacramento.

Interview scores were inputted separately by each of the panel members in addition to the prior scores received by each proposing firm. Of the three shortlisted firms invited to interview, WSP ranked highest among each of the panel members. WSP was then notified of the intent to award on June 24, 2026. Additionally, all firms not selected for award were phoned and emailed to inform them of the results and express appreciation for their submittals and interviews. Each was provided with debrief consultation invitations including evaluation and interview summary of notes taken by each panel member. The professional services contract (Attachment 1) including scope of work, schedule and cost proposal have been included with this report for approval.

It is anticipated that work will begin with contract approval and execution. This is a partially grant-funded project awarded by Caltrans under their Sustainable Transportation Grant program, and all work must be concluded by the consultant team, and all final invoices must be received and approved by the City before June 30, 2028.

Environmental Considerations
This action is not a "project" for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. ("CEQA"), because it is not an activity that may cause either direct or reasonably 70 Consideration of Contract Award – WSP – West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan August 19, 2026

foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c) and 15378(a), it is not subject to environmental review.

Commission Recommendation
Consultant procurement is an administrative item and does not have new policy implications that would require Transportation, Mobility, and Infrastructure Commission input. As such, this item was not presented in advance of City Council consideration. Staff will seek Commission feedback and direction over the course of the project, including policies and capital improvements recommended within the draft plan as it is developed.

Strategic Plan Integration
This project advances the Strategic Plan Principle: “Mobility & Connectivity,” in support of providing convenient and sustainable choices for people to get where they are going, “Inclusive & Diverse,” in support of equitable investment and social/environmental justice in the city, and “Core Services & Infrastructure,” in support of sustaining a financially sound city in which everyone feels safe and secure, with quality services and wellmaintained infrastructure. The project is also consistent with exploring “Future of City Transit” 2026 Strategic Priority.

Alternatives
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council take the recommended action. Alternatively, Council may elect to postpone or not hear this item. Staff do not recommend this action as Caltrans has set a firm deadline of June 30, 2028, to complete the West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan. Further delay may jeopardize the ability of the selected consultant to complete the plan within the specified timeframe.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Transportation & Mobility Division of the Community Development Department.

Coordination with Finance in FY22/23 with approval from City Council for CIP 12022 and subsequent Council approval of Resolution 25-92 secured the local and Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Grant funding required to advance this project. Scope of Work and application narrative was shared in advance of submittal to Caltrans with SACOG, YoloTD, and SacRT for feedback, comment, and modifications. Letters of Support were provided by each of these agencies in addition to Via Transportation, Inc. Further coordination with these agencies, as well as internal to the City of West Sacramento will continue throughout plan development.

Budget/Cost Impact
Appropriated local funds for the project are $600,000 (CIP 12022). Funding from the Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant ($431,490) requires 50% local matching funds ($431,490), with a remaining allocation of $168,510 for contingency and staff time. WSP’s cost proposal total of $847,578 is within the existing appropriation limit and no additional appropriation is required.

We will share the draft PMP with the City for one round of UHYLHZIROORZHGE\D¿QDOYHUVLRQDGGUHVVLQJDOOFRPPHQWV and edits.

Meetings
In addition to creating the PMP, we will schedule a project NLFNRႇPHHWLQJZLWKWKH&LW\,WZLOOWDNHSODFHYLUWXDOO\RU in-person, depending on budget and City preferences.

The meeting will serve as an opportunity for everyone to introduce themselves and their role on the project, talk through any initial data requests and work products, and discuss project objectives, scope, timelines, and key
milestones. We will develop an agenda that will be shared at least three days before the meeting and share meeting notes no later than three days after the meeting.

Regular communication between the consultant team
and the City will ensure alignment on the development of deliverables and overall trajectory of the project. We will City of West Sacramento | West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan | 26-043-RFP Page 23 Technical Project Approach | WSP

Establishing a robust baseline of existing conditions
is critical to identifying current strengths, gaps, and opportunities in the West Sacramento transit network.

This work will form the foundation for the assessment and recommendations in Task 2. Recent activities have created a strong backbone of data for the plan, including the
recently updated citywide Travel Demand Model, collected WUDႈFFRXQWVDQG¿QGLQJVIURP<ROR7'¶V6573ZKLFKZDV developed by TMD. TMD’s work on the SRTP will enable
us to quickly understand existing conditions within the city, including travel patterns, transit performance, and potential changes to the existing transit network. In addition,
feedback from the community received during that study
will inform an understanding of public sentiment around various service types.

Task Lead Erik Bird will guide a structured data collection process that draws from the existing data sources, as well as relevant local, regional, and state sources, and original VXUYH\VDQG¿HOGZRUN(ULNKDVOHGWKHFROOHFWLRQRIVLPLODU transit operations data as part of the system analysis

supplement the collection of existing publicly available data, we will develop a list of data requests that will be distributed to the City, YoloTD, Via, SACOG, and other
project partners as necessary.

Transit Operations Data
Determining how well the existing transit network in the City performs will be key to seeing where gaps exist when proposing improvements. The analysis will focus on YoloTD and Via Rideshare ridership, routes and service areas,
schedules, and service performance. Our streamlined
approach allows us to incorporate TMD’s work on the
SRTP and will include coordinating with YoloTD, Via, and the City to determine the following sets of information:
„ Ridership: Boardings and alightings by stop and route, GLVDJJUHJDWHGE\SHDNRႇSHDNDQGGD\RIZHHNWR
understand travel patterns. Historical data will also be reviewed to identify trends over time.
„ Route and Schedule Information: Service
frequencies, headways, stop locations, and route
alignments will be documented to assess coverage and
reliability.
„ Performance Metrics: On-time performance, dwell
times, and trips per revenue hour will be analyzed to
diagnose operational bottlenecks.

Transportation-Related Environmental Data
We will work with the City and SACOG to gather
transportation-related environmental indicators from the citywide and SACOG regional travel demand models,
including Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Greenhouse

Travel Behavior Data
We will leverage previously collected rider surveys
conducted as part of the YoloTD SRTP to understand
origin-destination patterns, mode choice, and perceptions of service quality. This approach allows us to gather
data while avoiding survey exhaustion by riders. Broader travel behavior, including mode share (auto, transit, bike, walk, micromobility, rideshare), trip purposes, and shared mobility use, will also be captured.

Land Use and Planning Data
Understanding the intersection of the City’s land use
patterns and transportation network will be critical to developing future transportation improvements that align with the City’s project growth areas and key trip generators.

We will document how land use and density intersect with transit service by reviewing:

tools, we will estimate ridership under each scenario.

External factors such as telecommuting, fuel prices, and EV adoption will be incorporated. Forecasts will focus on near-term (2035) and long-term (2050) demand.

Infrastructure and Policy Impacts
The WSP team will evaluate how planned projects and
SROLF\LQLWLDWLYHVDUHOLNHO\WRDႇHFWWUDQVLWGHPDQGDQG market conditions in West Sacramento. This will include the Downtown Riverfront Streetcar LRT extension, the C

Travel Pattern Analysis
The WSP team will conduct a travel pattern analysis at two levels of granularity using available data sources, including the SACOG regional travel demand model outputs and
TMD’s licensed access to Replica, a big data platform
that provides weekly summaries of local travel demand by mode, time of day, and origin-destination pair.

At the regional level, the analysis will characterize how West Sacramento residents travel to key destinations across the Sacramento River and throughout Yolo County, identifying the strongest origin-destination pairs that should anchor future transit-priority investments and inform LRT and BRT alignment evaluation. At the corridor level, a TAZ-level analysis will identify which internal corridors generate and attract the most trips, providing a data-driven foundation for SULRULWL]LQJWUDQVLWLPSURYHPHQWVDORQJ-HႇHUVRQ%RXOHYDUG West Capitol Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, Lake Washington
Boulevard, and other key arterials.

Replica data has consistently challenged preconceived
assumptions about how people travel. Trip volumes are
RIWHQKLJKGXULQJRႇSHDNSHULRGVDQGPDQ\WULSVDUH
short-distance, which calls for transit solutions that go beyond traditional peak-period, long-distance commute
service. Understanding these actual travel patterns,
rather than assumed ones, is essential to identifying
where transit investment will unlock latent ridership and meaningful mode shift.

Regional and Local Transit Services
We will study the existing and planned transit network serving West Sacramento to understand regional connectivity,
current transit demand, and service needs. This will include H[LVWLQJDQGSODQQHG¿[HGURXWHEXVVHUYLFHDQGRQGHPDQG microtransit.

City of West Sacramento | West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan | 26-043-RFP 89 Page 30 Public Engagement: Reaching Your Community
WSP is prepared to deliver the public engagement outlined in the RFP, including two open houses, two workshops,
pop-up events, and an online survey with a mapping
tool. Engagement will be coordinated with technical work so community input informs decision-making. We will
document how feedback is used through “You Said–We
Did” summaries posted online and will be reiterated
at open houses and workshops to demonstrate the
City of West Sacramento’s commitment to community
engagement.

Open Houses & Workshops
:HRႇHU\RXUWHDPH[SHULHQFHGHYHQWSODQQHUVZKRFDQ
support public events of any size. We design and facilitate both virtual and in-person meetings that present project ideas in clear, everyday language and use interactive
activities to encourage participation. In collaboration with your team, we aim to deliver well-attended events that
generate meaningful, actionable feedback. We anticipate the open house and workshop approach to include:
„ Open House #1: Introduce the project, build
momentum, and gather input on transit priorities,
mobility challenges, and desired improvements to inform early analysis.
„ Workshop #1 (Virtual):6KDUHUH¿QHGJRDOVDQGLQLWLDO ¿QGLQJVIURPWKH'UDIW&RPSUHKHQVLYH6HUYLFH$QDO\VLV
and gather additional feedback.
„ Workshop #2 (In-Person): Seek input on corridor
strategies, including prioritization and coordination with projects like regional LRT.
„ Open House #2: Present draft strategies and
recommendations, show how feedback was
LQFRUSRUDWHGDQGJDWKHU¿QDOLQSXWWRVKDSHWKHSODQ
The open houses and workshops are structured to be
iterative so that community feedback is consistently
considered and used to inform decision points. The team will also use these engagement opportunities to build
trust with the community by demonstrating how feedback
was used. The community should be able to see their
¿QJHUSULQWVRQWKHSURMHFWDVLWSURJUHVVHVEHWZHHQ
milestones.

Pop-Ups

for transportation agencies as a method of reaching
community members where they are,to gathering
quick input, boost project awareness, and encourage
participation at public meetings or by taking surveys.

For Alameda CTC, our interactive activities, such as
large participatory maps, regularly engaged 200-500+
participants per event. Our approach demonstrates our
ability to draw in diverse audiences. For West Sacramento, we will surface localized insights by converting casual interactions into meaningful input that can directly inform the existing conditions analysis.

Online Surveys and Mapping Tools
WSP holds an all-inclusive license with Social Pinpoint, an online survey platform that provides the ability to create surveys as well as virtual mapping where participants can LGHQWLI\GHVWLQDWLRQV:63RႇHUVRXUFOLHQWVDFFHVVWRWKLV highly interactive platform without licensing fees, which are often otherwise cost prohibitive. On the Santa Fe Forward General Plan Update, WSP’s use of Social Pinpoint
resulted in approximately 800 survey responses and 600
mapped inputs. This level of participation illustrates how our toolkit can assist a project like yours in generating UREXVWJHRJUDSKLFDOO\VSHFL¿FGDWDWRVXSSRUWFRUULGRU evaluation, prioritization, and investment decisions.

Stakeholder Engagement: Building Support
Stakeholder engagement is key to building support and
momentum for the West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan.

WSP will coordinate with groups including the Technical Oversight Group (TOG), Community Advisory Committee
(CAC), Transit Agency Committees (TACs) which include
the YoloTD Citizen Advisory Committee and SacRT Mobility Advisory Council, and Transit Partnership Meetings (TMPs).

Technical Project Approach | WSP
City of West Sacramento | West Sac Forward Transit Priority Plan | 26-043-RFP 90 Page 31 These meetings provide critical touchpoints to collaborate with partners and receive feedback that will inform core plan elements These touchpoints also provide a valuable forum to test materials with a focused audience before broader public outreach. In particular, the CAC and TACs can help ensure information is accessible to their communities and serve as partners in expanding project awareness
Communications: Generating Traction
Strong communications materials are essential for drawing people into civic engagement. We focus on creating clear, attention-grabbing content that quickly explains why their input matters. Our team of communicators, designers,
and videographers produces materials that stand out and make participation approachable, with proven results in increased awareness and engagement.

Plan Development Website: Website Content & Collateral
WSP will develop content and graphics to support your project website as a central source for information. The site will include a project overview, timeline, participation opportunities, contact information, and more. Our team can also support web design enhancements, including integrating interactive features such as embedding the online survey directly on the project page to VWUHDPOLQHDFFHVVDQGUHGXFHGURSRႇ

the SMCTA’s US 101 North County Multimodal Strategy.

Strategy Development
The results of the corridor evaluation and prioritization will inform the development of short- and long-term investment strategies by corridor to improve existing and future
service. These investments will rank from low (transit
signal priority, queue jumps, etc.) to high (new BRT/LRT service) intervention. Each strategy will be designed to address the unique opportunities and challenges of each corridor and work cohesively to build a coordinated and integrated transit network for the city.

Governance Analysis
Given the impending introduction of LRT service to the
City by SacRT, uncertain future of Via Rideshare, and
proposed changes to the YoloTD network from their SRTP, it’s vital to bring all necessary parties together to develop a governmental framework for the future of transit in
the region. The development of a governance plan that
addresses these potential changes in service delivery,
as well as who will be operating the strategies proposed in Task 4, will ensure the appropriate agencies are
empowered to achieve the City’s transit goals and vision.

A successful governance plan provides:
„ An operational tool to make leadership decisions.
„ The framework by which a vision gets translated into
actions.
„ The practical mechanisms by which West Sacramento
and its partners can allocate authority, responsibility, and accountability.

We have similar experience through our work on the PCTPA COA which involved coordinating with the region’s three transit agencies to identify a set of implementable network coordination strategies, such as developing a Joint Powers Agreement. We will bring a similarly collaborative approach to reviewing governance and institutional considerations across West Sacramento, Yolo County, and Sacramento County.

Topics include multi-jurisdictional agreements, labor and operating responsibilities, and regional governance models.

In coordination with the City, we will identify and describe feasible alternative forms of governance that are available.

We will work with the City, its partners and other champions to develop a governance structure, that coordinates transit operations and maintenance, funding statutes and initiatives within the study area and between adjacent transit service areas and helps identify the City and/or agencies responsible for implementing each project or service recommended as part of the service scenarios. Forming an understanding of the characteristic for each alternative governance structures will enable us to better select the appropriate structure that best aligns with the County’s vision.

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with the information necessary to consider and approve the proposed preferred vendor list for on-call professional graphic design, printing, and mailing services.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council:

1. Approve the proposed preferred vendor list for on-call professional graphic design, printing, and mailing services for a period of three (3) years, with an option for two (2) one-year extensions;

2. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute contracts with each service provider and undertake any and all actions necessary to implement the contracts;

3. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute non-substantive changes and modifications, with approval from the City Attorney; and

4. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to extend the contract term and adjust compensation within the limits of the Council-approved budget as needed.

BACKGROUND
The City of West Sacramento has an ongoing objective to provide the community with accurate and professionally presented information about City projects, programs, services, and municipal requirements. To create effective outreach materials, the City frequently utilizes the professional services of graphic design, printing, and mailing service vendors. Because the need to utilize such services is common among City Departments, a universal approach for identifying and selecting qualified vendors is desirable to ensure the consistent quality of City outreach materials and eliminate duplicative efforts to identify qualified vendors.

ANALYSIS
To address its ongoing outreach needs, on May 26, 2026, the City released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Graphic Design, Printing, and Mailing Services (26-054-RFQ). The City received five (5) responses to the RFQ. A committee comprised of six (6) staff members representing the Community Development and Economic Development and Housing Departments, as well as the City Manager’s Public Information Office, was formed to evaluate the responses.

After each committee member submitted individual evaluation scores, the four (4) highest-scoring vendors moved forward in the selection process for interviews. The following three (3) vendors have been selected by staff to move forward on the preferred vendor list, listed alphabetically:

1. Commerce Printing Services

2. Four Waters Media, Inc.

3. We The Creative
105
On-Call Graphic Design, Print And Mailing Services Vendor List August 19, 2026

As each City Department has unique needs and outreach budgets for graphic design, printing, and mailing services, the financial components of any future graphic design contracts resulting from use of this preferred vendor list will be considered on a case-by-case basis per the City’s standard procurement protocols.

Environmental Considerations
The City included Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (Administrative Policy IV-B-7) specifications in the RFQ and included sustainable business practices in the RFQ evaluation criteria.

This action is not a Project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub.

Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).) Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
Not applicable.

Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives include:

1. Deferring approval and requesting that staff return to the Council with additional information at a later date; or

2. Declining to approve the proposed On-Call Graphic Design, Printing, and Mailing Services preferred vendor list.

Staff do not recommend these alternatives as we believe the proposed preferred vendor list is fair and equitable and consists of qualified vendors who are equipped to provide the City with exceptional graphic design, printing, and mailing services.

Coordination and Review
Staff coordinated with the Finance Department and used established City procurement protocols to create the proposed preferred vendor list.

Budget/Cost Impact
There is no cost associated with approving the on-call list. Costs for utilizing the contracts once in place will be charged to the appropriate cost center or project budget approved by Council for this purpose.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026 ITEM # 8
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-68 ACCEPTING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR NEWPORT ESTATES UNIT 13 (SUBDIVISION NO. 5142)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Candido Ramirez, Senior Civil Engineer
Community Development Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with the information necessary to accept public improvements within Newport Estates Unit 13 (Subdivision No. 5142).

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-68 accepting public improvements within Newport Estates Unit 13 (Subdivision No. 5142) including water, sewer, storm drain, streetlight, and roadway improvements, Community Facilities District (CFD) landscaping, and irrigation. This acceptance would exclude street trees.

BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2025, the City Council passed Resolution 25-51, approving a final map for Subdivision No. 5142, Newport Estates Unit 13. The final map was recorded with the Yolo County Recorder’s office on August 11, 2025. At the time of map approval, the City and the subdivision developer entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) to ensure the satisfactory completion of all public improvements.

This item contemplates acceptance of certain eligible public improvements, including water, sewer, storm drain, streetlight, and roadway improvements, landscaping, and irrigation (Required Improvement items 1a and 1b of the SIA). The subdivision developer has provided a one-year warranty bond effective upon acceptance of these improvements.

Street tree improvements associated with Newport Estates Unit 13 (Required Improvement item 1c of the SIA), have not been completed and are not eligible for acceptance at this time.

ANALYSIS
All improvements under consideration have been completed to the satisfaction of the appropriate City staff in accordance with the SIA and City standards. The subdivision developer has requested that the City Council accept said improvements and has submitted the required warranty securities.

The West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA)’s Southport Levee Drainage Improvement Project (SLDIP) included a system to collect surface runoff from the levee and seepage berm areas. That runoff will be conveyed through the public improvements for Newport Units 12 and 13, which were upsized to accommodate additional runoff. The improvements accepted by way of the attached resolution include storm drain pipe for the project described above.

Environmental Considerations
The Planning Commission found that the Tentative Map for Newport Unit 13 was within the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the West Sacramento General Plan, and no new significant or adverse impacts would occur through implementation of the proposed project. No new environmental document is required consistent with Sections 15162 and 15168(C)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
Not applicable.
108
Newport Estates Unit 13
August 19, 2026

Alternatives
Once the required water, sewer, storm drain, and roadway improvements are satisfactorily completed, the City must accept the improvements per the Subdivision Map Act.

Coordination and Review
The Engineering Inspector has inspected and approved the public improvements proposed for acceptance. The required improvements have been completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the Community Development Department. Pending reimbursement for drainage improvements has been coordinated with the Finance Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
The estimated value of the public improvements to be accepted, including water, sewer, storm drain, lighting, and roadway improvements, is $3,017,338.74. In accordance with Section 10.b of the SIA, the subdivision developer has submitted a Warranty Security bond in the amount of $301,734. A Landscape and Irrigation Warranty Security bond in the amount of $15,506 has also been submitted. The Payment Security bond will remain with the City until the timeframe prescribed in Section 11.b of the SIA. The Performance Security bond will be released to the subdivision developer in accordance with Section 11.c of the SIA.

On January 20, 2020, the City and the subdivision developer entered into a Development Reimbursement Agreement (DRA) to compensate the subdivision developer for upsizing drainage improvements (Attachment 3).

DRA Item 3 indicates that WSAFCA is to deposit the appropriate amount into a City holding account once the agreement is executed. Exhibit A of the DRA shows reimbursement amounts for Newport Units 12 and 13. The City will reimburse the subdivision developer for a total of $145,279.28 for the drainage improvements.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026 ITEM # 9
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-79 AUTHORIZING APPLICATIONS FOR GRANT FUNDING FROM THE SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 2026

FEDERAL FUNDING CYCLE PROGRAMS
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Stephanie Chhan, Senior Transportation Planner
Community Development Department
Christian Asuncion, 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 adopt Resolution 26-79 authorizing applications for and, if successful, acceptance of grant funding from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) 2026 Federal Funding Cycle Programs..

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-79:
1) Authorizing applications for grant funding through the SACOG 2026 Federal Funding Cycle Programs; 2) Approving the City’s SACOG 2026 Federal Funding Cycle Programs application priorities; 3) Authorizing City staff to make non-substantive changes or modifications to the Federal Funding Cycle Program application priorities, with approval from City Manager; and 4) Authorizing the City Manager or their designee to execute all required grant documents and ensure timely project delivery.

BACKGROUND
SACOG administers several competitive federal funding programs intended to support regional goals around system preservation, congestion management, active transportation, and multimodal connectivity. As part of the 2026 Federal Funding Cycle, City staff submitted an application in response to the SACOG System Preservation Program call for projects in May 2026 for the Harbor Boulevard System Preservation Project (Resolution 26-37).

In June 2026, SACOG released the call for projects for the other two programs: System Performance and Next Generation Solutions & Clean Air.

For the first time, the 2026 funding cycle includes all six counties in the SACOG region – El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba – marking a more comprehensive, region-wide approach. These programs prioritize investments that maintain critical transportation infrastructure, improve safety, and enhance mobility across the region. These programs distribute federal funds from sources such as the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) programs, providing local jurisdictions with opportunities to advance priority capital projects. There are approximately $203 million in funding available in the 2026 Federal Funding Cycle Programs for Federal Fiscal Years 2028 through 2030.

Participation in the 2026 funding cycle allows the City to compete for resources that support long-term infrastructure needs, reduce reliance on local funding sources, and accelerate delivery of shovel-ready improvements. Projects eligible for this funding include roadway rehabilitation, complete streets enhancements, active transportation facilities, and multimodal connectivity investments, all of which align with the City’s transportation, safety, and sustainability goals. Securing SACOG funding also ensures that regional priorities are consistent with local plans, such as the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Submitting a prioritized list of City projects and authorizing the execution of grant-related documents positions the City to remain competitive during the application process and meet all federal funding requirements. If awarded, SACOG funds would help advance high-impact capital projects, improve community mobility and safety, and support the City’s commitment to maintaining a resilient and efficient transportation network. 118
Resolution 26-79 - SACOG Federal Funding Cycle
August 19, 2026

ANALYSIS
Staff seek the City Council’s authorization to submit a final application package to SACOG for the System Performance Program and the Next Generation Solutions & Clean Air Program.

The System Performance Program is designed to advance projects that improve the performance, safety, reliability, and efficiency of the existing regional transportation network. The program supports a wide range of investments in roadway, transit, and multimodal infrastructure that address operational deficiencies, congestion, goods movement, and safety needs. Staff propose to submit application(s) for the Southport to Harbor Roadway Project (CIP-15046).

The Next Generation Solutions & Clean Air Program is designed to foster the next generation of mobility solutions, including implementation of SACOG initiatives such as the Regional Transit Network Study and Regional Trails Network, as well as funding active transportation projects, zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) implementation, Complete Streets projects, other infrastructure for high-capacity transit, streetscape corridors, and other projects that have air quality or multimodal benefits. Staff propose to submit application(s) for the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail (CIP-11039).

Staff are underway with grant application development and may segment these projects into multiple applications for implementation purposes.

Environmental Considerations
The current action is not subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.

Strategic Plan Integration
These projects advance “Mobility & Connectivity,” in support of providing convenient and sustainable choices for people to get where they are going; “Inclusive and Diverse,” in support of equitable investment and social/environmental justice in the City; “Climate and Energy Resiliency,” in support of reducing climate impact by providing resiliency in the transportation network; and “Core Services and Infrastructure” in support of sustaining a financially sound city in which everyone feels safe and secure, with quality services and wellmaintained infrastructure. Clarksburg Trail Enhancements were part of the 2025 Strategic Priorities Policy Agenda.

Alternatives
The City Council may choose among the following alternatives:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.
2) Amend the recommended actions.
3) Decline to approve the recommended actions or cancel the project(s).

Staff recommend Alternative 1 to apply for grant funding. Alternatives 2 and 3 are not recommended because City Staff would not be eligible to apply for grant funding. Applications are due September 18, 2026. City staff have aligned proposed applications to advance implementation of existing CIP projects. Staff will not have sufficient time to prepare applications for new or different projects in this grant cycle.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Community Development Department in coordination with the Capital Projects Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
The applications are projects included in the City’s current CIP. The Southport to Harbor Roadway Project is part of CIP-15046. The Clarksburg Branch Line Trail Project is part of CIP-11039.

Award of funding from SACOG’s Federal Funding Cycle requires the City to provide an 11.47 percent non-federal match. Staff will work with the Finance Department to determine the source of local funds upon receipt of award determination from SACOG.
