CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES Kern County Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of the County's 151 bridges. Kern County contracted NCM to develop a Bridge PrevenƟ ve Maintenance Program (BPMP) for the County in accordance with Caltrans Local Assistance Program Guidelines for Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Plan Funding. Funding
eligibility is based on specifi c maintenance acƟ viƟ es and work recommendaƟ ons must be found in Caltrans bridge inspecƟ on records (BIRIS).

NCM analyzed Caltrans data to establish a shortlist of priority projects with work items that are eligible for reimbursement through the HBP program. NCM conducted site visits for priority bridge locaƟ ons to confi rm scope and compiled cost esƟ mates for each bridge. Bridges were grouped and recommended for funding applicaƟ on by the County as part of a fi nal BPMP summary report.

The County will use the BPMP to implement future PS&E and construcƟ on projects.

F. Project Understanding,
Overview and Approach

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-1 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES F. Project Understanding, Overview and Approach The NCM team’s understanding of the City/Wide
Structural Bridge InspecƟ on Services is based on
review of the informaƟ on provided in the Project
RFP, the local agency bridge list for the City, and
our extensive experience developing and delivering
Bridge PrevenƟ ve Maintenance Program (BPMP) and
Highway Bridge Program (HBP) projects. The primary
goal of the City’s project is to posiƟ on the City for
future bridge maintenance projects by scoping
all needed work, planning delivery, and capturing
federal BPMP funding.

Introduction
In August of 2005, the BPMP was modifi ed to allow
funding of local projects by The Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Effi cient TransportaƟ on Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU). SAFETEA LU
extended reimbursable systemaƟ c bridge prevenƟ ve
maintenance acƟ viƟ es to include bridges off the
federal aid system (urban and rural local streets
and roads and rural minor collectors). This makes
all non-toll, public highway bridges with clear spans
greater than 20 feet and toll bridges meeƟ ng the
requirements of 23USC144(l) eligible for HBP funding
for prevenƟ ve maintenance acƟ viƟ es. On December
23, 2015, Caltrans issued addiƟ onal guidance to
local agencies that standardizes local agency BPMP
submiƩ als with respect to policy and procedures.

This guidance became eff ecƟ ve on February 1,
2016. Bridges that are not on the NaƟ onal Bridge
Inventory list or bridges with work that is not eligible for reimbursement through the BPMP framework
must be completed using local funding. Our team will
provide a plan for all City bridge needs, both federally parƟ cipaƟ ng and locally funded.

Bridge Preventive Maintenance Goals
Based on the BPMP guidelines, prevenƟ ve
maintenance is defi ned as “a planned strategy of
cost-eff ecƟ ve treatments applied to an exisƟ ng
roadway system and its appurtenances that
preserves the system, retards future deterioraƟ on,
and maintains or improves the funcƟ onal condiƟ on
of the system (without substanƟ ally increasing
structural capacity).” PrevenƟ ve bridge maintenance
is a planned strategy of cost-eff ecƟ ve treatments
applied at the proper Ɵ me to preserve and extend
the useful life of a bridge.

Preserving the structural serviceability of the City’s
bridge inventory is a key element of this program.

PrevenƟ ve maintenance treatments include
reducing the amount of water infi ltraƟ ng the bridge,
protecƟ ng the bridge elements, slowing the rate of
deterioraƟ on, and repairing scour countermeasures.

PrevenƟ ve Maintenance (PM) acƟ viƟ es should
concentrate on treaƟ ng bridges that are in fair
to good condiƟ on and show no more than minor
structural distress. PM acƟ viƟ es should not degrade
safety or geometric aspects of the facility. In
most cases, projects may be undertaken without
geometric enhancements, signifi cant reconstrucƟ on
or considerable upgrades.

It is important to understand that once BPMP
funding has been spent on a bridge, that bridge is
not eligible for any Federal funding for ten years.

As such, all BPMP qualifying maintenance acƟ viƟ es
should be idenƟfi ed for each bridge and included in
the City’s program to ensure maximum parƟ cipaƟ on.

Furthermore, bridges that qualify for rehabilitaƟ on
or replacement under the HBP should be idenƟfi ed
and excluded from the BPMP Plan if rehabilitaƟ on or
replacement funding will be pursued.

Project Description
To qualify for BPMP funds for commencement of
environmental analysis, fi nal design, PS&E and
ulƟ mately to implement prevenƟ ve maintenance
improvements, the City is required to develop a
Bridge PrevenƟ ve Maintenance Plan (BPM Plan).

Our understanding that the City’s BPM Plan will
assess 11 bridges within the City’s jurisdicƟ on. Two
of these structures are railroad grade separaƟ ons
Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program
Goals include the following:
 Maintain the existing County inventory of
bridges in a structurally safe and serviceable
condition
 Correct minor structural defects
 Correct minor structural defi ciencies early in a
bridge’s life, rather than wait until a bridge has
major problems requiring costly rehabilitation,
reconstruction or replacement
 Bridge and project selection process and
grouping strategies

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-2 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES and, because they carry the railroad and do not
carry public traffi c, are not eligible for HBP or BPMP funding. Of the remaining 9 structures, 8 have work
recommendaƟ ons made by Caltrans in their bridge
inspecƟ on reports. BPMP eligible items are generally
only approved for reimbursement through the
program if those acƟ viƟ es are consistent with the
Caltrans work recommendaƟ ons. Furthermore, not
all recommendaƟ ons made in the Caltrans inspecƟ on
reports are eligible for BPMP reimbursement. These
ineligible work acƟ viƟ es would need to be performed
using alternate or local funds.

Because of these various structures and work items
that are ineligible for BPMP reimbursement but are
sƟ ll within the City’s jurisdicƟ on to maintain, NCM’s approach must be holisƟ c. We will idenƟ fy:

1. which bridges and work is BPMP eligible and
include with the BPMP

2. which bridges are HBP eligible for more
signifi cant work scopes and exclude from BPMP

3. scope work deemed necessary on the railroad
grade separaƟ on

4. scope work that is ineligible for BPMP
reimbursement but sƟ ll necessary
Our team will compile a comprehensive fi nal
City Bridge Management Plan that serves as an
outline and strategy for the maintenance of all
City structures. The federal BPMP plan is a major
component of this overall City plan.

Based on an iniƟ al review of the City’s bridge
inventory, it is anƟ cipated that all 11 bridges will
have some work recommendaƟ ons and 8 will have
BPMP reimbursable work acƟ viƟ es. The scope of
maintenance work is generally expected to include
the following:
 Repair of spalled concrete, (deck, abutments,
piers, bridge railing, etc.)
 Sealing of bridge decks with methacrylate
 Replacement of missing or failed steel fasteners
 Replacement of joint seals
 Scour miƟ gaƟ on measures
The BPMP Plan development process that NCM
principals created for San Diego County and refi ned
during development of the programs for Kings
County, Tulare County, Kern County and others
includes the following elements:
 PrioriƟ zaƟ on Procedures Development
 Field Review
 Final Ranking & PrioriƟ zaƟ on
 BPMP Plan DocumentaƟ on
This process will be similar for all work within the
City Bridge Management Plan that includes work
that is eligible and ineligible for federal program
reimbursement.

Project Delivery Plan
Project Prioritization Procedures
To saƟ sfy BPMP guidelines, the City Bridge
Management Plan should uƟ lize objecƟ ve procedures
to prioriƟ ze the bridge prevenƟ ve maintenance
projects. The procedures used should also be
documented in a fi nal BPMP Plan report and
maintained in the City project fi les for review in
potenƟ al future audits.

NCM principals and key staff developed the BPM
Plans for Kings County’s 110 bridge inventory,
Tulare County’s 354 bridge inventory and San
Diego County’s 174 bridge inventory and have
a comprehensive understanding of the process
that must be followed to gain Caltrans approval
and programming of funds. Part of completing
these plans included development of a process
to initially screen the inventory and then rank/
prioritize identifi ed maintenance needs after
completion of fi eld reviews.

Figure F-1. NCM has a comprehensive understanding of the process that must be followed to gain Caltrans approval and programming of funds.

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-3 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES High priority projects should include the repair
of scour countermeasures, embankment erosion
control and the repair, restoraƟ on, and strengthening
of structural elements. In addiƟ on, priority should be given to bridges that are not eligible for rehabilitaƟ on or replacement under the Federal Highway Bridge
Program. The intent of the program is to keep
these bridges in structurally good condiƟ on to
maximize their service life and to conserve limited
funds available for bridges that do require major
rehabilitaƟ on or replacement. Note also that bridges
rated Structurally Defi cient (SD) with a suffi ciency
raƟ ng of 80 or less, generally do not qualify for BPMP funding if they have already been programmed
for rehabilitaƟ on or replacement. A full list of
maintenance items that qualify for funding under the
PrevenƟ ve Maintenance Program, as well as those
that do not, are outlined in the Federal guidelines.

Prioritization Procedures Development.

NCM refi ned procedures that its principals developed
for screening and prioriƟ zing the San Diego
County bridge inventory while assessing the bridge
inventories of mulƟ ple other agencies following that
project’s compleƟ on. The procedures iniƟ ally use
defi ciencies and maintenance recommendaƟ ons
that are idenƟfi ed in Caltrans maintenance and
inspecƟ on reports and are BPMP eligible. A scoring
system, consistent with the Caltrans Element Level
InspecƟ on Manual (ELIM) as shown in Figure F-2,
below, was developed to rank bridge condiƟ on
with respect to BPMP reimbursable maintenance
improvements idenƟfi ed in the Caltrans reports.

Weight factors were also assigned to each
reimbursable maintenance improvement to account
for the relaƟ ve criƟ cal or minor nature of the
improvement. For example, embankment erosion
NCM principals developed a
spreadsheet program for the
San Diego County BPM Plan
that has been signifi cantly
refi ned during use on several
other BPM Plans, most
recently for Kings and Tulare
Counties. The spreadsheet
identifi es all 16 eligible
maintenance activities and
uses a scoring system with
importance weight factors
to effi ciently screen and
prioritize a bridge inventory.

The spreadsheet can also
be used to track condition
and maintenance activities
for each bridge in the
County’s inventory. With this
process already defi ned and
approved by Caltrans, NCM is
positioned to hit the ground
running on day one.

Figure F-2. NCM has refined procedures for screening and prioritizing bridge inventory programs.

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-4 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES and repair of scour countermeasures are considered
to be the most criƟ cal maintenance improvements
and use a weight factor of 10 while touch-up painƟ ng
of steel elements is considered less criƟ cal and uses
a weight factor of 2. The iniƟ al scoring is updated
aŌ er fi eld reviews. This process has been streamlined through development of a macro driven spreadsheet
to automate the ranking / prioriƟ zaƟ on process and
also to incorporate specifi c agency preferences, such
as revisions to weight factors.

Bridge Assessment and Field Review
AŌ er establishing criteria and database management
approach, the iniƟ al data collecƟ on and scoring will
be based on a review of available bridge inspecƟ on
reports and records. This informaƟ on would be used
by NCM to prepare for the fi eld review stage of
the project and to complete much of the database
entry. NCM would proceed with fi eld reviews of
each structure once iniƟ al data collecƟ on and
desktop review were complete. Field reviews would
be conducted in accordance with Caltrans ELIM by
registered engineers. Field reviews would be visual
inspecƟ on/observaƟ on to verify BPMP reimbursable
maintenance needs idenƟfi ed in the Caltrans
maintenance and inspecƟ on reports, as well as to
check for addiƟ onal maintenance needs. InspecƟ ons
of the two railroad grade separaƟ ons would be
conducted from City property and would not
encroach on the railroad right-of-way. InformaƟ on
gathered would be used to update the screening/
ranking spreadsheet program. NCM will complete
fi eld inspecƟ on reports to document condiƟ ons,
fi ndings, quanƟƟ es and photos for the City’s records.

Preliminary Hydraulic Assessment
Based on our previous BPMP experience, potenƟ al
maintenance improvements could include repair of
scour countermeasures and associated streambed
grading. Work recommendaƟ ons may also include
and construcƟ on of bank erosion countermeasures
and AC dyke and drainage improvements to correct
scour and bank erosion issues.

Depending on site condiƟ ons, soluƟ ons for erosion
control and bank protecƟ on may range from simple
rock slope protecƟ on to environmentally sensiƟ ve
biological bank stabilizaƟ on. The design approach
for bridge decks and approach roads drainage
improvements should:
 Avoid point discharge and therefore eliminate
the erosion potenƟ al
 Collect concentrated fl ows and provide
adequate energy dissipaƟ ng systems.

We typically fi nd that drainage from the approach
and bridge deck is carried across the bridge joint and
allowed to fl ow around approach barriers and down
the embankment along the bridge wingwall. This can
result in erosion around the wingwall end and down
the embankment or channel bank. One method that
we have recently employed to eliminate this type
of erosion issue is to construct AC dyke along the
approaches and Ɵ e into the bridge railing to direct
drainage fl ows to a drainage collecƟ on system or
drainage swale. All erosion and drainage repairs
should consider factors such as the construcƟ on
cost, constructability, and ease for maintenance.

Risks include impacts to special status species and
sensiƟ ve habitats. Erosion control measures should
minimize impacts to sensiƟ ve systems.

Traffi c Control and Temporary Work
ImplementaƟ on of bridge construcƟ on work
necessarily entails some level of traffi c control,
restriping of traffi c stripes, signage, etc. Based on
the work proposed for each bridge, our team will
idenƟ fy the potenƟ al scope of these related acƟ viƟ es enough to inform the team’s cost esƟ mates and
environmental documentaƟ on or permiƫ ng needs.

Utility &, Railroad & Right-of-Way Constraints
For bridge repair work, repair operaƟ ons are not
typically hindered by exisƟ ng uƟ liƟ es; however,
to avoid issues during construcƟ on of repairs, any
confl icts that require temporary or permanent
relocaƟ on should be idenƟfi ed during the BPMP
Plan development stage to ensure accurate project
cost esƟ mates and suffi cient programming of funds.

Preliminary uƟ lity research and fi eld verifi caƟ on
during the BPMP Plan development phase will ensure
proper programming and posiƟ on uƟ lity coordinaƟ on
eff orts for a quick start during the environmental and design phases.

Similarly, right-of-way constraints on any of the
proposed work acƟ viƟ es will be idenƟfi ed based on
available Orange County Assessor parcel mapping.

NCM expects all bridge work to be within City
right-of-way and will confi rm through this review
eff ort. The City should also have ConstrucƟ on and
Maintenance Agreements (C&M) for each of the
railroad grade separaƟ ons. These documents should
clarify roles, process and responsibiliƟ es associated
with any maintenance work performed on the
railroad bridges. NCM will uƟ lize these document
requirements to capture costs such as permiƫ ng,
fl agging, inspecƟ ons and other items typically found
in C&M agreements.

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-5 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES Environmental Permitting Assessment
For proper programming of the City’s BPMP, it is
important to capture environmental documentaƟ on,
permiƫ ng and miƟ gaƟ on costs to ensure that
the program is not underfunded. A preliminary
environmental permiƫ ng assessment should be
conducted to itemize the potenƟ al environmental
factors and constraints and to make a preliminary
judgment regarding required environmental technical
studies and permiƫ ng and miƟ gaƟ on requirements
and costs for each maintenance project.

It is also important to understand that Caltrans
will likely lump all projects with the same Federal
project number together, including for environmental
clearance and permiƫ ng. As such, all projects would
be on hold unƟ l the most environmentally sensiƟ ve
projects are cleared. To ensure that risks to the
project schedule are miƟ gated, packaging of projects
should be done to combine projects with similar
environmental requirements, and the City should
request diff erent Federal project numbers for each
group.

Under the NaƟ onal Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
rehabilitaƟ on or repair of City bridges should qualify for a NEPA Categorical Exclusion (CE), provided the
acƟ ons meet the defi niƟ on contained in 40 CFR
771.117 and do not involve signifi cant impacts. In
addiƟ on, bridge repairs are eligible for a Categorical ExempƟ on under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) provided the repair acƟ ons
meet the defi niƟ on contained in SecƟ on 15300 and
15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. However, a CEQA
CE excludes public review, which may not meet
recommendaƟ ons of the California Department of
Fish and Game with respect to their Responsible
Agency obligaƟ ons in processing a Streambed
AlteraƟ on Agreement should repair work include
streambed grading. In AddiƟ on, if technical studies
indicate that project-related impacts require
miƟ gaƟ on, an IniƟ al Study/MiƟ gated NegaƟ ve
DeclaraƟ on (IS/MND) may be required.

For a bridge repair program, the largest
environmental risks are associated with work that
could impact special status species or sensiƟ ve
habitats, such as work on the banks or in the channel
of a natural drainage where biological resources
evaluaƟ on would need to be prepared. Furthermore,
agency consultaƟ on would be required for listed
species, and permits would be required from the
Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

Final Ranking & Prioritization
The fi nal step prior to documentaƟ on for developing
a BPMP Plan is to conduct a fi nal ranking of bridges
to prioriƟ ze bridge inventory maintenance needs.

The process involves updaƟ ng the screening/ranking
spreadsheet program to prioriƟ ze the reimbursable
projects and should also include preliminary
environmental, hydraulic and uƟ liƟ es assessments to
ensure that all major cost factors are included in the
plan cost esƟ mate. This database of assessments and
cost esƟ mates will include all City structures and all work items, not just BPMP eligible bridge work.

BPMP Plan Documentation
The fi nal steps in developing a BPMP Plan is to
document the processes used and assessments
performed to idenƟ fy and prioriƟ ze reimbursable
maintenance projects by bridge. This document is
prepared for submiƩ al to Caltrans Local Assistance
and is focused on just those BPMP acƟ viƟ es and
bridges that are eligible for reimbursement through
the HBP program. The same programming esƟ mates
will be made for ineligible work items and bridges for
the City’s use in budgeƟ ng work through alternate/
local funding sources.

The report should outline recommendaƟ ons for
packaging of groups of bridges with the same or
similar maintenance needs and present preliminary
cost esƟ mates for design and construcƟ on for
recommended improvements. Packaging should also
consider the City’s Capital Improvement Program
and available funds to apply toward the City’s
match each fi scal year of the program delivery. In
addiƟ on, anƟ cipated environmental permiƫ ng
requirements should be presented and packaging
of projects should take into account environmental
factors to ensure that projects requiring more
extensive environmental studies and permiƫ ng,
such as scour countermeasures repair or creek/
waterway re-grading, do not delay projects with
minimal environmental requirements. For example,
bridges with maintenance work that takes place at
the deck level or with no disturbance to sensiƟ ve
environmental sites, such as deck repair/sealing,
joint seal replacement and spall repair, should be
segregated and processed for early delivery.

Project Delivery Cost Estimates
Development of cost esƟ mates for maintenance
improvements at each bridge will be used to
establish a total program cost that will be submiƩ ed
to City for programming. As such, it is important to
ensure that all project delivery costs are captured

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-6 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES to avoid underfunding the program. Based on our
past experience, program cost should include the
following primary cost factors:

1. Preliminary Engineering
a. Environmental DocumentaƟ on
b. Final Design and Development of PS&E

2. AdministraƟ on (County AdministraƟ on &
Management)

3. Right of Way – typically right of way engineering
for temporary construcƟ on easements if
necessary

4. ConstrucƟ on (Includes MobilizaƟ on)

5. ConstrucƟ on engineering and administraƟ on
to cover construcƟ on management and City
administraƟ on and management
ConƟ ngencies of 25% would be applied to
construcƟ on and preliminary engineering costs
due to scope uncertainty at the planning stage.

MobilizaƟ on for construcƟ on would be esƟ mated
as 20% of the construcƟ on cost due to the small
project sizes that are typical of bridge prevenƟ ve
maintenance, and the standard 15% of construcƟ on
cost factor would be used to esƟ mate ConstrucƟ on
Engineering and AdministraƟ on.

weeks for most memos and 3 weeks for the Field
Review Memo and more for the DraŌ BPMP Report.

Project Management and Project Controls
NCM has a proven project management approach
that has been structured to ensure on-Ɵ me project
delivery within budget. Our proposed Project
Manager, Mark SƟ ller, will be dedicated to the
project and act as the single point of contact for the
City. Mark will work closely with City management
and staff to refi ne the project schedule and project
delivery plan. NCM’s delivery team is almost
exclusively in-house and our subconsultant, GPA, is
a close and regular associate that has proven record
of reliability and quality. Our team is structured for
smooth operaƟ on so our management can focus on
the City, stakeholders, and project delivery.

A key element of Mark’s management approach
is fl exibility and the ability to adapt to changing
project needs by conƟ nuously monitoring schedule
and budget and scaling acƟ viƟ es as appropriate
to achieve project delivery goals. Mark will closely
monitor the project to ensure adherence to schedule
and budget, taking full advantage of the numerous
internal budgetary tracking systems uƟ lized by NCM.

Our tracking system is 100% online and allows for
real Ɵ me monitoring of project budget. The system
is capable of producing accurate and up-to-date
earned value reports and esƟ mates to complete any
day of any month. The graphic below indicates the
four-step process we use to monitor all our projects.

These tools and processes allow Mark to idenƟ fy
any fl edgling issues before they become detrimental
to the project schedule or scope, so the project is
delivered on-Ɵ me and on-budget.

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-7 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC) Plan
NCM follows a defi ned procedure for reviewing/
checking all deliverables, from studies and reports
to plans, quanƟƟ es and cost esƟ mates. NCM will
perform work for this project in accordance with
a project-specifi c quality assurance manual. Steve
Mislinski will develop and enforce the QA/QC plan
to verify that documents meet standards for
accuracy and completeness in accordance with City
and NCM requirements. Figure F-2, Quality Control
Plan Components, shows the key components and
steps in the Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan.

Independent Quality Assurance Audits
A comprehensive program of planned and systemaƟ c
audits by an independent team within NCM will
verify that the team has eff ecƟ vely developed,
documented, and implemented all applicable
elements of the design quality assurance manual in
accordance with the specifi ed requirements. Mark
will iniƟ ate this process at the beginning of all design acƟ viƟ es and conƟ nue this verifi caƟ on through to
each deliverable’s compleƟ on.

Subconsultant QA/QC
NCM’s QA/QC procedures extend to our
subconsultants as well. Each subconsultant adopts
applicable elements of our quality assurance
and control program and is subject to the same
quality assurance and control reviews. NCM will also
provide oversight review of subconsultant-produced

Response Procedures
An addiƟ onal step that we will implement is a
formal response procedure to comments received
on the deliverables. NCM takes a proacƟ ve stance
in addressing issues and comments as they arise,
tracking them through resoluƟ on. This avoids the
need for rehashing previous issues or the mulƟ -cycle

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-9 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES III. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Yorba Linda is responsible to maintain 11 bridges. Caltrans has inspected these bridges and is recommending maintenance on several of them. See Appendix 3 for attached Caltrans “Structural Maintenance & Investigation” bridge list and Caltrans Bridge Inspections Records Information System for Caltrans bridge inspections for the City of Yorba Linda. The City of Yorba Linda is applying for the Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program (BPMP) which requires a thorough inspection of all bridges in Yorba Linda.

A – Scope of Work
Purpose
To provide structural bridge inspection and related services determined to be reasonably necessary in analyzing the structural integrity and longevity of the City’s bridges utilizing Caltrans standard rating and reporting system and recommending appropriate repair and maintenance actions. In accordance with BPMP Guidelines, the consultant shall develop procedures for prioritizing preventative maintenance projects on the City’s bridge inventory.

See Appendix 3 (Caltrans Bridge Inspections Records Information System) for Caltrans bridge inspections for the City of Yorba Linda.

TASK 1: PREPARE PRIORITIZATION CRITIERA FOR BRIDGE PREVENTIVE

MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
Prioritization shall be based on several applicable criteria, starting with: 1) high priority given to repair of scour countermeasures, embankment erosion control and repair, and strengthening of structural elements, and 2) priority to bridges not HBP-eligible.

TASK 2: BRIDGE ASSESSMENTS
TASK 2.1 REVIEW AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND CALTRANS BRIDGE INSPECTION

REPORTS
Prior to visiting the bridges, Consultant shall review all available bridge inspection reports (BIR) prepared by Caltrans. In addition to the BIRs, consultant shall review bridge as-built plans (if available).

TASK 2.2 CONDUCT BRIDGE FIELD INSPECTIONS
Field inspection of the bridges should include verification of the previously identified repairs listed in the BIRs and to assess site conditions that may affect preventive maintenance activities. This will include determining the extent of repairs needed, chaining the deck to verify the extent of concrete delamination if deck rehabilitation is recommended and if chaining is feasible and safe without traffic control, and noting constraints. Any maintenance items observed but not identified in the BIRs shall be assessed and documented. During the site visits, potential construction issues and restrictions shall be noted. Field conditions, such as staging and traffic control needs shall also be noted.

Scope of Work - Scope of Services (Section III in this RFP) copied, in its entirety.

PDF Images of A – Scope of Work on pages
1-3 of the RFP, copied in its entirety below.

F. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW AND APPROACH PAGE F-10 CITY OF YORBA LINDA | CITY-WIDE STRUCTURAL BRIDGE INSPECTION SERVICES In addition to assessing required repairs, the following observations shall be made at each site:
x Traffic control requirements
x Right-of-Way impacts and access issues
x Potential staging areas, if needed
x Environmental sensitive areas, impacts and likely permit requirements x Nearby schools or businesses that could be impacted by volatile organic compounds associated with methacrylate treatment
x Clearance issues
x Utility conflicts
x Potential scour issues and countermeasures
x Other constraints.

TASK 3.1 ESTIMATE PROJECT COSTS
Consultant shall prepare a construction cost estimate for each preventive maintenance task.

The estimated project cost for each bridge will include the maintenance treatment along with temporary traffic control items such as K-rail, flagging, traffic stripe removal and replacement, construction area signs, and temporary railing. These estimates will be used for planning and programming of construction funding to be submitted to Caltrans.

TASK 3.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY SUMMARY
Field observations shall be summarized in a preventive maintenance activity/condition report and submitted to the City for review. The report will include condition assessments, preventive maintenance activity recommendations pursuant to Caltrans standard rating system, and cost estimates. This report shall include field notes along with as-built plans and photos documenting the repairs needed for each structure.

TASK 4 – PRIORITIZE PROJECTS
Using the procedures and criteria developed, the Consultant shall prepare a spreadsheet that summarizes all the relevant data for each bridge, including prioritizing the preventive maintenance needs and identifying other required work. It will include basic data on each bridge from the BIR, applicability for HBP funding for preventive maintenance items, description of proposed work, estimated project cost, its priority, and applicability of special criteria, such as importance of the bridge.

TASK 5 – SUBMIT FINAL BPMP TO CITY
The BPMP required for approval and funding will be compiled, as described in Task 5, for all bridge preventive maintenance activities. The report will include: all information developed for each bridge; recommendations for activities, and proposed grouping of preventive maintenance projects for multiple bridges into PS&E packages based on type of work to be performed, environmental issues or funding constraints.

Consultant shall prepare a cover letter, as required by the BPMP Guidelines, certifying compliance with the guidelines.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: AUSTIN POSTOVOIT, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE

MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (LMAD) SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT FEES FROM ASSESSMENT YEAR 2016 FOR APN 343-
561-27

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council cancel the Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) special assessment fees from assessment year 2016 for APN 343-561-27, and direct staff to provide written authorization to the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector to remove the specified charges.

BACKGROUND
The City’s Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) was formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (’72 Act), which is included in the State of California Streets and Highways Code Division 15, Part 2, and the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). Under such provisions, the City annually levies and collects special assessments for the City’s LMAD in order to provide and maintain various landscaping, lighting and traffic signal improvements throughout the City that provide benefits to properties within the LMAD. As part of this process, the City annually submits the assessment amounts for each parcel by APN to the Orange County Auditor/Controller’s Office for placement on the annual property tax roll.

At any point, the County may notify the City of parcels on which the County requests that the City remove the LMAD assessment. The County makes such requests when the property taxes on the property are delinquent and have not been paid for a number of years. In the usual course, the County proceeds to auction off the properties for failing to pay the taxes; however, the County does not auction parcels that are tax exempt or government owned.

DISCUSSION
On August 4, 2022, the City received a request from the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector (County) to consider cancellation of LMAD special assessment fees for APN 343-

561-27 from assessment year 2016. Since the parcel has a prior year delinquency, as a result of the outstanding LMAD special assessment fees, the County also requested that staff research the issue. Research indicated that the parcel in question had been subdivided as a part of housing development project. The parcels were identified by the County’s land use code as Residential Single-Family and as they were a part of Tract 17548, which was being developed at the time, and would have all been assessed as Vacant/Undeveloped properties. By the following fiscal year an updated Assessor’s Parcel Number map for parcel 343-561-27 was available and correctly identified it as a street and therefore reclassified as exempt for the FY17/18 Engineer’s Report. When assessments were submitted to the County of Orange Auditor/Controller on behalf of the City, the County Assessor’s Office had already retired APN 343-561-27.

The parcel is located within LMAD Arterial Landscaping Zone A-8, along Yorba Linda Boulevard between Eureka Avenue and Mountain View Avenue. Further, the area in question is comprised primarily of streetscape landscaping planters, which are maintained by the LMAD. The land use classification for this parcel was correctly revised to “exempt” (not to be assessed) during a prior tax year, so no corrective requests to the County are in order. Based on the prior reclassification of the parcel’s land use and its existing delinquent status, staff is recommending cancellation of the parcel’s special assessment fees for assessment year 2016. In order for the County to remove this property from the auction list as it cannot auction parcels that are tax exempt, the originating agency (the City in this case), must provide written authorization. Therefore, staff is also recommending Council direct staff or it’s consultant to provide such written authorization to comply with the County procedures.

FISCAL IMPACT
Cancellation of the special assessment fees for assessment year 2016 amounts to a total revenue loss of $60.72, within the LMAD Assessment Revenue Account (2015110-382010).

However, based on its existing delinquent status, there is a low potential of recovering such fees.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could determine to not approve the cancellation of the special assessment fees, which would leave the assessments on this parcel and the parcel would continue to be in a tax default status. Based on the previous reclassification of the land use classification of this parcel, staff does not recommend this alternative.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DIANNA HONEYWELL, FINANCE DIRECTOR / CITY TREASURER SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 BUDGET CARRYOVERS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached final list of budget carryovers for fiscal year 2021/2022.

BACKGROUND
Under City Council Policy F-2 – Two-Year Budget, unspent appropriations for capital projects and funds encumbered in purchase orders carry forward between years one and two of the Two-Year Budget automatically but lapse at the conclusion of the two-year period.

Any other funds to be carried forward must also be specifically approved by the City Council.

On June 21, 2022, the City Council approved the Mid-Term Budget Update to the Two-Year Budget for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23. Recommendations were included in the staff report to authorize these carryovers, with direction to staff to return to the Council with this final list of carryovers for review and approval when available.

The items proposed for carryover fall into three categories – operating expenditures, equipment and vehicle purchases and capital projects.

DISCUSSION
Carry Forward of Operating Appropriations
At the end of FY 2021/22 there were various goods and services encumbered but not received or paid for and therefore the related purchase orders must be carried over to FY 2022/23. The carryover of these appropriations is an appropriation of reserves because the appropriations have lapsed at the end of the prior fiscal year. These unexpended funds must be carried over and re-appropriated to complete the projects that were in progress on June 30, 2022. Because these funds were not spent by June 30, 2022, the amount transferred to reserves on June 30, 2022, is higher than anticipated. Attachment 1 lists operating expenditure purchase order carryovers and related budget adjustments which total $148,196.46. $125,929.15 of the total is attributable to the General Fund and will be appropriated from General Fund reserves.

FISCAL YEAR 2021/22 BUDGET CARRYOVERS
P a g e | 2
Carry Forward of Equipment and Vehicle Purchases
During FY 2021/22, various vehicles and equipment were ordered but not received by June 30, 2022. It is anticipated that they will be received in FY 2022/23 and therefore the related purchase orders and corresponding budget appropriations must be carried over.

Attachment 2 identifies the details of these purchases which total $1,291,798.95.

Capital Project Carryover Appropriations
When the budget for FY 2022/23 was approved by City Council, it included appropriations for new capital projects, as well as estimated carryovers for existing projects. Often, capital projects require more than one fiscal year for completion. Now that FY 2021/22 has been preliminarily closed, staff is able to compare the estimated carryover appropriations already included in the FY 2022/23 budget and the actual amount of funds still required for each project. Attachment 3 lists capital project purchase order carryovers ($2,806,033.11) and related budget adjustments ($384,816.29).

FISCAL IMPACT
The following budget appropriations are required:

1. $127,018.79 from General Fund reserves for operating budget adjustments.

2. $21,177.67 from LMAD reserves for operating budget adjustments.

3. $152,298.87 from General Fund reserves for Vehicle and Equipment budget adjustments.

4. $64,770.35 from Special Reserves for Vehicle and Equipment budget adjustments.

5. $793.76 from Library reserves for Vehicle and Equipment budget adjustments.

6. $1,073,935.97 from Black Gold Golf Course reserves for Vehicle and Equipment budget adjustments.

7. $384,816.29 in the Capital Improvement Fund (and related funding source transfers) per Attachment 3 and related Purchase Order carryovers in the amount of $2,806,033.11.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose to remove any items from the carryover list or request additional information about one or more carryovers from staff.

SUBJECT: ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES WITH NINYO & MOORE

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve Amendment No 1 to the September 24, 2021, Agreement with Ninyo & Moore extending services through December 30, 2022.
 Approve Change Order No 2 for geological and materials testing services with Ninyo & Moore in the amount of $35,000.

BACKGROUND
On July 20, 2021, City Council approved the plans and specifications and awarded the contract for the Adventure Playground Renovation project to Lehman Construction. Construction began on September 13, 2021 and is expected to be completed in November 2022.

DISCUSSION
Ninyo & Moore was contracted to provide geological and material testing services and is now serving as the Geotechnical Engineer-of-Record for the project. Change Order No 2 provides additional funding for the services provided by Ninyo & Moore which includes geotechnical engineering consultation, observing, testing, and certification of excavation, backfill, compaction of soil and concrete pours, and deputy inspections. Unfortunately, the soil conditions at Adventure Playground are not ideal and additional geotechnical services have been required including deputy inspections for various components of the project (i.e. welding, bolt torques, etc.). In addition, review and approval of submittals and redesigned plans are being completed which were not previously anticipated.

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been identified in the contingency budget to account for the additional services in Change Order No 2. Per Administrative Policy: A-F-5 Purchase, Bidding, and

ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES WITH NINYO & MOORE P a g e | 2
Contracting, the amount of the change order for Ninyo & Moore necessitates City Council approval.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may not approve Amendment No. 1 and Change Order No 2 and provide direction to staff.

SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT – PLAYGROUND SAFETY SURFACING

RENOVATION PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
• Award the contract for the Playground Safety Surfacing Renovation Project to SpectraTurf of Corona, CA and reject all other bids; and • Authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest said agreement.

BACKGROUND
To prolong the life and effectiveness of the resilient rubber playground safety surfacing, regular maintenance is required. Four playgrounds are due for necessary maintenance at this this time. The scope of work includes re-capping the wear course at Eastside Park and Box Canyon Park. At Veterans Park and Bryant Ranch Park the work will consist of application of a binder to the existing wear course.

In June 2022, staff published bid notices and requested proposals from qualified firms to propose on the project. Proposals were received and publicly opened on June 30, 2022.

There was only one bid received and this bid was significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate, therefore, staff recommended that the City Council reject all bids received. City Council rejected all bids on July 19, 2022.

DISCUSSION
In July 2022, staff re-bid the project in accordance with the City’s formal competitive purchasing policy, publishing bid notices and requesting proposals from qualified firms to propose on the required scope of work indicated in the Request for Proposals.

Proposals were received and publicly opened on August 18, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Four potential firms submitted proposals for the project with the following results:

4. Ortco, Inc. Orange, CA $ 494,594.00
The lowest responsive bidder is SpectraTurf of Corona, CA. The licenses, references and all other documents are in order.

FISCAL IMPACT
The construction contract of $300,292.00 and a 15% contingency of $45,043.00 will bring the anticipated project total to $345,335.00. Sufficient funds in the amount of $370,000 have been appropriated in the FY 2022/23 Capital Improvement Program budget.

N EW S L E T T E R
August, 2022 Edition
BOARDROOM Brief
AT ITS VIRTUAL meeting on July 22, the
Board received the year-end financial reports
from our accountant, considered a revised FY
22-23 budget, and resumed their discussion
of the Government Code Section 56133
legislative amendment proposal.

The Fourth Quarter financial report found
that the association is sound financially. It
also disclosed an FY 21-22 net balance
that was slightly larger than had been
expected in April. Consequently, a revised FY
22-23 budget was also presented to the
Board to capture the higher carryover, as
well as to remove an erroneously duplicated
stipend calculation from the Executive
Director’s salary line for the upcoming year.

Those adjustments, along with another that
the Board made to the payroll tax line,
resulted in a revised FY 22-23 budget. The
differences from the original version
approved in April were increased carryover
and contingency lines, and reductions to the
ED salary and payroll tax lines. The revised
budget can be found on the Board meeting
portion of the website.

The last action item considered was the
reconsideration of the legislative proposal
from San Diego LAFCo regarding Government
Code §56133. As many will recall, the topic
has been a continuing one having been
discussed and tabled at the January and April
Board meetings. In April, the Board sent the
proposal back to the Legislative Committee
to complete additional research. Ultimately,
the Board approved adding the endeavor to
the list of CALAFCO projects, as well as
approving a White Paper to guide the effort.

Reports were also received regarding
CALAFCO U and the fall conference -
including Elections. It was noted that
Achievement Awards have an upcoming
deadline of AUGUST 12TH - so get those
nomination packets in ASAP!
The next Board meeting is scheduled for
October 21st during the conference.

All agendas, staff reports, and minutes can be
found on the CALAFCO website at
www.calafco.org. Any questions should be directed
to the Executive Director at [email protected].

SBA 938 Chaptered
Copyright © 2022 CALAFCO. All Rights Reserved.

AS MOST of you already know, SB 938 (the
Protest Provisions bill) has been successfully
concluded. It passed the Senate Floor on June 23rd
with a 38-0 vote, and was signed by the Governor
on July 1st.

Thank you to the many LAFCOs who rushed to get
letters submitted to the Governor after that June
23rd passage.

Given that this is the culmination of an effort that
began in 2017, special thanks must again go to the
Protest Provisions Working Group members for the
YEARS of work on this bill.

The Board of Directors - and all of CALAFCO -
extends its sincerest thanks and gratitude to Jo
MacKenzie, José Henriquez, Kai Luoma, Steve
Lucas, Paul Novak, Holly Whatley and, of
course, Pamela Miller (who stayed on to work the
bill in a volunteer capacity.)
Other Legislative Updates
AB 2957, the CALAFCO sponsored Omnibus bill has
also been successfully completed. It was passed
by the Senate on June 9th, and signed by the
Governor on June 21, 2022. Thank you to all of
the Legislative Committee members and EOs who
submitted proposed changes for the bill. Special
thanks to Joe Serrano who had the unenviable
task of logging all of those changes!

and again how much our members
appreciate these offerings!
Our next CALAFCO U is scheduled in
September, then they will go on hiatus
through the conference and holidays.

The target month for our first session in
2023 is February. Thanks to Dawn
Mittleman Longoria (Napa) who has been
my wing person on these. I could NOT
have made it without her!!
Jeni and I are now in full conference
mode. Registration opened on July 5th

October 19-21, 2022 for our long
-awaited, long-overdue Annual
Conference! The program planning committee is finalizing what is sure to be a great program. Go
to calafco.org for more details. See you in Newport Beach! CALAFCO is currently tracking a total of 29 bills.

Included among those are:

AB 897 (Mullin), establishment of a regional
climate network. This bill has stalled and is in
its second year.

AB 1640 (Ward), would authorize the creation of
regional climate networks, as well as set up
guidelines. Referred to the Senate
Appropriations suspense file.

AB 1773 (Patterson), return of Williamson Act
subvention funding. Held under submission in
Assembly Appropriations on May 19th.

SB 739 (Cortese), was a gut and amend seeking
to create ministerial processes for the
annexations of unused golf courses to be used
for the development of high rise buildings with
600-700 residences. The author’s office notes
that it will not be pursuing this bill this year.

SB 852 (Dodd), is similar to AB 1640 in that it
addresses the formation of climate resilience
districts, however, this bill focuses on
enhanced infrastructure financing to fund
public capital facilities including projects that
address climate change impacts. Scheduled for
third reading in the Assembly on August 8th.

SB 1100 (Cortese), which would amend the
Brown Act to include provisions and procedures
regarding meeting disruptions has passed both
houses and is now in Engrossing and Enrolling.

SB 1490, 1491, and 1492, the annual
Validation Acts, have now been chaptered.

The legislative season is now nearing a close with
August 12th being the last day for fiscal
committees to meet and report bills. After that, the
remainder of the month will be Floor sessions only,
with August 25th being the last day to amend bills
on the floor. August 31st is the deadline for each
house to pass bills, and the Final Recess will begin
upon adjournment on that date.

It is fitting to note at this time that this important
work does not happen in a vaccum. The Legislative
Committee is composed of 32 members who have
committed to give generously of their time and
expertise. CALAFCO could not do what it does
without them, so our sincerest thanks to the
following:

Laboratory Report, September 15, 2022 Attachment No. 1
Vector of the Month: Vectors of West Nile Virus
Orange County supports a unique assemblage of mosquitoes represented by 26 species.

The following description presents a brief synopsis of two commonly occurring mosquito species that can transmit West Nile virus (WNV). WNV lives in the wild bird population and is transmitted (vectored) to other birds, and occasionally people, principally by these two mosquito species.

Culex quinquefasciatus: The southern house mosquito has been the species responsible for a majority of the District’s mosquito abatement services and related control activities over the years. Females are active nearly year around in the more sheltered areas of the county and will frequently enter houses to seek blood. Larvae are commonly associated with all types of “urban waters” held in sources ranging from swimming pools to flower pots. This species serves as our primary vector of both WNV and St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV).

Culex tarsalis: The western encephalitis mosquito is considered by most mosquito biologists to be the principal encephalitis vector throughout much of its range in North America. It is our primary vector of western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) and primary/secondary vector of WNV and SLEV. Adults are active during the spring, summer, and fall. Though more common in less developed areas, breeding occurs throughout the county in association with most types of clean, standing water sources in channels and marshes.

Unlikely WNV Vectors: Although our new invasive mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are very bothersome, they are not normally part of the WNV disease transmission cycle. This is because they rarely bite birds where the virus resides and prefer to feed on humans. Instead, they are efficient vectors of the viruses that cause dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya.

In nature, WNV cycles between mosquitoes (especially Culex species) and birds. Some infected birds can develop high virus levels in their bloodstreams and mosquitoes can become infected by biting these infected birds. After about a week, infected mosquitoes can pass the virus to more birds when they bite. Mosquitoes with WNV also bite people, horses, and other mammals. However, humans, horses, and other mammals are “dead end” hosts and do not develop high levels of virus in their bloodstream; hence, they cannot pass the virus to other mosquitoes.

West Nile virus cases reported in San Gabriel, Antelope and San Fernando valleys ­— and Orange County

(File photo by Gene Blevins/Contributing Photographer) LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County health officials have confirmed the county’s first human cases of West Nile virus this year, saying six cases have been identified since late July.

No specifics about the patients were released on Thursday — but according to the county Department of Public Health, the victims live in the Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley and San Gabriel Valley.

Most of the patients were hospitalized in late July and early August, and all are recovering, according to the county.
“Mosquitoes thrive in hot weather and residents should follow simple steps to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus,” county Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said in a statement.

mosquito larvae before they become adult
mosquitos which can carry diseases such as

Laboratory Report, September 15, 2022 Attachment No. 2
“Simple measures can reduce mosquitoes and mosquito bites, like protecting yourself and your family with insect repellent and removing standing water outside your home. West Nile virus can lead to hospitalization or death, and, by taking preventative steps now, residents can better protect themselves against infection and the serious neuro-invasive disease caused by this virus.” According to the state, a total of 18 human cases of West Nile virus had been confirmed in California as of last Friday, including one in Pasadena, which has its own health department separate from the county. Orange County announced a human case earlier this month.

The West Nile virus season typically runs from summer through fall, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People catch it from a bite from an infected mosquito, which contracts the virus when it feeds on an infected bird.

Most people infected with the virus do not feel sick, but about 1 in 5 who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms, according to the CDC. About 1 in 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness, CDC data show.

Because there is no human vaccine or cure for West Nile virus, health officials recommend that people use mosquito repellent. The CDC recommends products with the active ingredients DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus as being safe and effective against mosquitoes that can transmit diseases when used according to the labels.

Other steps residents should take include:
— Eliminating standing water in clogged rain gutters, rain barrels, discarded tires, buckets, watering troughs or anything that holds water for more than a week — Ensuring that swimming pools, spas and ponds are properly maintained — Changing the water in pet dishes, bird baths and other small containers weekly — Requesting mosquitofish from your local vector control district for placement in ornamental ponds — Reporting neglected (green) swimming pools in your neighborhood to your vector control district
