City of Glendale, CA
Project Manager. Jim managed the street rehabilitation, ADA curb ramp upgrades, and comprehensive regrading for various streets, including the implementation of innovative pavement maintenance alternatives to bridge an anticipated shortfall in construction funding for various streets. NCE was selected by the City of Glendale to provide the design of PS&E for the Maintenance District 6 Phase II Rehabilitation Project. The project involves rehabilitating 2.8 miles of residential streets in a historic neighborhood with
treatments ranging from ARHM overlays, surface
reconstruction, and innovative multi-layered asphalt-rubber aggregate membrane (ARAM) interlayers to reduce required pavement thickness. As part of this project, NCE evaluated the existing pavement to determine feasible rehabilitation alternatives, including whether the existing macadam
underneath the asphalt pavement could be preserved or
removed, marked pavement base repairs, and design
numerous curb ramps and driveway aprons. We also
designed new curb and gutter systems along the entirety of every street due to aging concrete infrastructure and
insufficient drainage capacity, totaling over $3.5 million in curb and gutter construction alone. Due to extensive
roadway re-grading for every street, NCE had to analyze vertical clearance at 274 driveway aprons, including the adjustment of driveways and sidewalk to conform to the
grading. The total project cost is nearly $8.9 million.

FY 2023 annual roadway maintenance and rehabilitation
catch-up programs. As part of these projects, NCE prepared the PS&E package for approximately $2.6 million, covering 32 street segments across 5.9 centerline miles. NCE staff marked out base repair locations, took pavement core
samples, and carried out laboratory testing to develop
project-specific pavement design recommendations. They
also collected curb and gutter damage that will need to be addressed during construction. The design also includes the development of new curb ramps, bulb-outs as part of a Safe Routes to School initiative, intersection reconstruction, electrical work, sidewalk plaza regrading, and coordination with the City’s ongoing bicycle and pedestrian master plan improvements.

assurance/quality control. FY 2022 & FY 2023 Annual Street Rehabilitation Program: NCE provided civil and pavement design for the City of San Marino’s FY 2022 & FY 2023 Annual Street Rehabilitation Program, covering nearly $6.1 million and 19 of the City’s most deteriorated street sections.

Innovative pavement solutions resulted in significant cost savings, allowing more streets to be improved. The project included comprehensive pavement surveys, base repair
markings, coring, subgrade testing, and sustainable
treatment recommendations, with special attention to
Macadam Road base areas. Over 10,000 linear feet of curb and gutter repairs and more than 130 ADA curb ramps were designed. Construction plans featured updated 2021
Greenbook technical specifications and detailed cost
estimates. FY 2020 & FY 2021 Annual Street Rehabilitation Program: NCE prepared the civil and pavement design plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate of probable
construction cost (PS&E) for the City’s annual road
rehabilitation program totaling nearly $5.8 million and about 66 street sections. This also included the identification of hundreds of curbs and gutter repairs. A comprehensive
pavement design was conducted, including pavement
conditions surveys, base repair markings, pavement coring, and subgrade laboratory testing. Since 2015, NCE has
assisted the City with PMS and pavement evaluation and
design services. In 2020, the City selected NCE to provide integrated design services, including PMS, pavement
evaluation and design, and preparation of PS&E packages.

Through its integrated design approach, NCE has helped the City improve its network PCI by 7 points, from a PCI of 65 in 2018 to a PCI of 72 in 2022, over a period of 4 years. This was achieved by creating a focused, multi-year plan that met the City's needs and optimized its capital improvement program budget.

City of Glendale, CA
Pavement Design QA/QC Manager. James provided
pavement design guidance and quality assurance/quality
control review. NCE was selected by the City of Glendale to provide the design of PS&E for the Maintenance District 6 Phase II Rehabilitation Project. The project involves
rehabilitating 2.8 miles of residential streets in a historic neighborhood with treatments ranging from ARHM overlays, surface reconstruction, and innovative multi-layered ARAM interlayers to reduce required pavement thickness. As part of this project, NCE evaluated the existing pavement to determine feasible rehabilitation alternatives, including whether the existing macadam underneath the asphalt
pavement could be preserved or removed, marked
pavement base repairs, and designed numerous curb ramps and driveway aprons. We also designed new curb and gutter systems along the entirety of every street due to aging concrete infrastructure and insufficient drainage capacity, totaling over $3.5 million in curb and gutter construction alone. Due to extensive roadway re-grading for every street, NCE had to analyze vertical clearance at 274 driveway
aprons, including the adjustment of driveways and sidewalks to conform to the grading. The total project cost is nearly $8.9 million.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH T&B PLANNING, INC FOR CEQA REVIEW SERVICES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with T&B Planning, Inc. increasing the not-to-exceed amount from $75,000 to $168,200 to provide for increased CEQA review services.

BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2025, the City retained the services of T&B Planning, Inc. to provide CEQA review services for the proposed “builder’s remedy project” in the Bryant Ranch Center submitted on November 21, 2024. The City has informed the applicant multiple times that their application for the proposed housing development project for the Bryant Ranch Center is not consistent, not in compliance, and not in conformity with multiple applicable local and state requirements. The City also determined on April 28, 2025, that even if there was a valid project, based on the information submitted and known at that time and applicable legal standards the proposed project was not exempt from CEQA.

On May 13, 2025, the applicant appealed the City’s CEQA determination; however, on May 30, 2025, the City informed the applicant that their application to appeal this CEQA determination is not subject to appeal pursuant to Yorba Linda Municipal Code Section

18.36.810.

On May 30, 2025, the City received an AB 1633 written notice from the applicant (citing Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(6)(D) later corrected to Government Code Sections 65589.5(h)(6)(I) and 65589.5.1(a)) stating that the proposed project is exempt from CEQA under the statutory exemption implemented by CEQA Guidelines § 15183 and that the City had 90 days from the date of the notice to make a lawful written determination regarding the Project’s CEQA compliance.

On June 6, 2025, the City posted a public notice with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office and on the City’s website in compliance with all legal requirements informing the public of the opportunity to provide public comment on the proposed CEQA exemption for a period of 60 days. However, on June 18, 2025, the City received a letter from the applicant stating that

Page 476 of 601 ends

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH T&B

PLANNING, INC FOR CEQA REVIEW SERVICES
P a g e | 2
it had provided an “outdated” statutory reference in its May 30, 2025 written notice and requested that the City update the posted CEQA public notice to reflect the correct Government Code Section. On July 9, 2025, the City updated the CEQA public notice and reposted the public hearing notice with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office and on the City’s website.

The initial CEQA public notice has now been posted for 60 days. To date, the City has received nearly 300 public comments citing a wide variety of significant environmental impacts for further analysis, including, but not limited to, public safety, emergency response, wildfires, traffic, evacuation, impacts on local services and public utilities, air quality/greenhouse gas emissions, potential soil contamination, noise, etc. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65589.5.1(a)(5)(C), the City is required to consider all objections, comments, evidence and concerns about the project or the applicant’s written notice. The City has spent significant time, resources, and money to prioritize and complete its preliminary review within the initial 90-day notice period; however, an additional 90 days is necessary to determine if there is substantial evidence in the record that the project is eligible for the exemption sought by the applicant, which is still the City’s independent obligation under CEQA.

Due to the overwhelming number of comments and the complexity of the issues that have been raised, the City has determined that it will extend the time period pursuant to Government Code Section 65589.5.1(a)(5)(D) to determine if there is substantial evidence in the record that the housing development project is eligible for the proposed exemption. The City’s compliance with Government Code Section 65589.5.1 is a separate and distinct statutorily required process than the City’s prior determination on April 28, 2025, that the proposed project was not exempt from CEQA.

DISCUSSION
The initial contract with T&B Planning was in the amount of $75,000 and was authorized by the City Manager on June 26, 2025. T&B Planning is recommending the following additional studies to determine whether the proposed project could potentially be determined as exempt from CEQA despite the other inconsistencies with state and local laws:
 Biological survey specifically targeting Burrowing Owl and Crotch’s Bumblebee  Traffic Studies
• Traffic Study Peer Review (TS)
• Focused Level of Service Based Traffic Study (TA)
• Safety Evaluation (SE)
• Sight Distance (SD)
• Construction Management Plan (CMP)
• Parking Evaluation (PE)
• On-site Circulation (CE)
 Fire Protection Planning Evacuation Analysis

P a g e | 3
T&B Planning has provided scopes of work from three separate subconsultants to assist in this process, which are included as Exhibit A of this Amendment. Staff is requesting that the contract be amended to increase the contract amount from $75,000 to $168,200 to complete these studies.

FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant has submitted a deposit to process their entitlement application and is responsible for covering all costs associated with processing their application. The total cost for this CEQA analysis will be charged against the applicant’s deposit.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could determine that certain technical studies are not necessary and could authorize only a portion of the recommended items.

SUBJECT: YORBA CANYON LEGACY PROJECT – SCOPE OF WORK & FEE PROPOSAL Ms. Chu,
NOREAS Inc. (NOREAS) is pleased to provide this scope of work (SOW) and fee proposal to assist T&B Planning (T&B) with the Yorba Canyon Legacy Project (hereafter referred to as the “Project”). For the purposes of this SOW, the proposed “study area” is limited to ≤ 15-acres – located at 23621 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, California 92887.

The following task will be completed on a time and materials basis:

TASK 1. BIOLOGICAL SURVEY, ANALYSIS & BIOLOGICAL TECHNICAL REPORT NOREAS will conduct a review of resource databases, local resource management plans, aerial imagery, and other available data to identify and characterize biological resources within the Project’s study area and surrounding region. This literature review will provide the foundation for all deliverables outlined in this SOW. To complement the desktop analysis, NOREAS will conduct the following fieldwork activities:
• Pedestrian-based biological surveys to assess onsite conditions; • Vegetation mapping to document land cover types; and
• Habitat assessments to evaluate the potential for special-status species occurrence (specifically targeting Burrowing Owl and Crotch’s Bumblebee).

Fieldwork will focus on documenting habitat conditions, identifying sensitive vegetation communities, and estimating the approximate acreage of various land cover types within the Project’s boundaries.

These findings will help determine the likelihood of both common and special-status species and their habitats occurring within the study area. The results of this analysis will be compiled into a Biological Technical Report (BTR), which will detail the findings of the literature review, field surveys, and data analysis. This standalone report will include:
• Methods - A detailed description of the methods used to identify and assess biological resources, including dates involved, agency contacts (if applicable), and any limitations encountered during data collection;
• Environmental Setting - A description of the biological and physical features within and adjacent to the study area; and
• Results - A summary of findings, including the presence or absence of special-status species habitats, riparian areas, and other sensitive natural communities.

EXHIBIT A – SCOPE OF WORK
TS-1: TRAFFIC STUDY PEER REVIEW (FIXED FEE)
The following tasks include review of a traffic study and its contents and does not include any design or analytical tasks (although these additional services can be accommodated via a contract amendment).

TS-1.1 Review the current Traffic Study provided by the applicant to determine technical adequacy and identify any relevant deficiencies. Urban Crossroads will provide comments on the current version of the Traffic Impact Analysis titled Traffic Impact and Circulation Assessment for the Proposed Bryant Ranch Residential Mixed-Use Project, which was prepared by LLG on May 26, 2023.

TS-1.2 Compare the LOS results to the Yorba Linda Housing Element Update Traffic Analysis (prepared by Urban Crossroads, April 12, 2024) and the Esperanza Hills Traffic Impact Analysis Report (prepared by LLG on March 18, 2013).

TS-1.3 Summarize the findings of the Traffic Study Peer Review in a letter.

Any review of alternatives (e.g., Project Phasing) to the initial Traffic Study peer review can be provided in a separate contract. Urban Crossroads will not provide opinions on improvement requirements without an updated Traffic Study. Additionally, any fee evaluations are not included in this proposal and can also be completed under a separate contract.

TA-2: FOCUSED LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) BASED TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT No formal traffic study scoping document will be submitted to any City staff for review and approval prior to commencement of the focused traffic assessment.

TA-2.1 Consistent with the City of Yorba Linda traffic study guidance, project-related vehicle trips will be based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition (2021) trip generation rates for the proposed uses based on the latest site plan. Determine project trip distribution patterns based on existing and planned land uses in the area along with the planned circulation system (verify against existing traffic counts). Identify known cumulative development projects and ambient growth patterns.

TA-2.2 Conduct new weekday morning (7am-9am) and weekday evening (4pm-6pm) peak hour turning movement count data at the following 11 intersections and 24- hour tube counts on up to 2 roadway segments:

Intersections
1) Yorba Linda Boulevard & La Palma Avenue
2) Yorba Linda Boulevard & Savi Ranch Parkway
3) Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road & SR-91 Westbound Ramps 4) Weir Canyon Road & SR-91 Eastbound Ramps

NOTE: This task will take 7-9 business days to complete from the time local schools are in session (Bryant Ranch School first day of school is August 26) and traffic is operating under normal conditions.

TA-2.3 Estimate trip generation and trip distribution for other (cumulative) development based on the latest ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition 2021). It is estimated that up to 25 individual cumulative development projects may need to be included in this traffic analysis. As such, this scope of work assumes that this number of cumulative projects will need to be modeled as part of the future year cumulative traffic forecasting process. Calculate cumulative near-term future ADT and peak hour turning movement volumes for up to 1 study area intersection.

TA-2.4 Prepare future long-range traffic forecasts for With Project conditions based the Orange County Transportation and Analysis Model (OCTAM) with updated socioeconomic data (SED) reflecting the updated housing element sites (updating the model to include proposed zoning changes). Review the initial estimates of the raw peak hour turning movement volumes for reasonableness, including the review of traffic flow conservation and peak-to-daily volume ratios. Adjust the initial raw model estimates to achieve flow conservation, reasonable growth, and plausible diversion between parallel routes through post-processing. Calculate Horizon Year future ADT and peak hour turning movement volumes for up to 11 study area intersections.

TA-2.5 Assess intersection capacity and level of service (LOS), for up to 11 study area intersection plus Project driveways for each of the following traffic conditions, based on the ICU methodology for signalized intersections and the HCM methodology (7th Edition) for unsignalized intersections:
• Existing
• Existing Plus Project
• Opening Year Without Project

Re: Yorba Canyon Legacy Project – Transportation Engineering Services Dear Nicole
Chen Ryan Associates, Inc., dba CR Associates (CRA) is pleased to submit this letter proposal to T&B Planning (the “client”) to provide transportation engineering services for the Yorba Canyon Legacy Project (the “Project”).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
CRA will provide the following services:

CRA will conduct an evacuation analysis based on the anticipated number of vehicles that need to leave the evacuation area. The following tasks will be conducted:

A. Coordinate with the Client and the project team to determine the worst‐case scenario(s) (scenario with the highest traffic volumes) to be analyzed and the areas considered safe. It is assumed that several evacuation scenarios will need to be analyzed. CRA will coordinate with the project team to determine the analysis scenarios required. The scope below assumes the following five (5) scenarios:

1. Existing

2. Project Opening Year

3. Project Opening Year with Project

4. Cumulative Year

5. Cumulative Year with Project
CRA will collaborate with the project team to establish an appropriate evacuation timeframe.

The evacuation analysis will consider both a worst-case scenario, in which all residents are at home and the project is fully operational, as well as a reasonably foreseeable scenario that reflects typical operations. Beyond the worst-case scenario, the selection of a reasonably foreseeable timeline will be informed by a review of historical wildfires in the area, recent wildfire evacuation orders, and other factors that may be developed in coordination with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Additional evacuation scenarios can also be analyzed at the request of the Client. The cost associated with the additional scenario is provided below as an optional task.

B. Review applicable documents, including the County of Orange Emergency Operation Plan, City of Yorba Linda Emergency Operation Plan, County of Orange Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, County of Orange Emergency Management Plan, recent fire history, and other

applicable documents. CRA will provide a list of documents to the Project team for review prior to starting this task.

C. Determine the available evacuation routes. CRA will provide a list of evacuation routes to the Project team for review prior to conducting analysis.

D. Develop the number of vehicles anticipated to evacuate under the Existing and Cumulative scenarios. The number of vehicles evacuating will be calculated based on the following factors:

1. Determine the number of nearby households and businesses that need to evacuate during an emergency. The number of households will be determined based on parcel data from Parcel Quest, and validated using data from US Census and rooftop counts (via aerial imagery from Nearmap) of existing households within the study area.

2. Determine the average vehicle ownership and the number of vehicles anticipated to be evacuated.

3. Cumulative projects from the Traffic Study (if applicable) or in coordination with the City of Yorba Linda.

4. Additional supporting data such as previous studies and the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE) Parking Generation Manual.

E. Develop an evacuation model for the proposed Project using Vissim microsimulation software.

F. Conduct an evacuation analysis using the network developed in Step E.

G. Review the findings with the Client and revise the analysis as appropriate. Up to two (2) rounds of revisions are assumed as part of this task. Additional analyses/revisions will require a scoping amendment.

H. Document the findings in a draft technical memorandum and respond to comments (from the Client or the project team), as requested.

I. Attend up to three (3) project‐related in-person meetings.

J. Attend up to two (2) public hearings.

K. Prepare a final technical memorandum incorporating comments and direction.

L. Assist the project team with incorporating the findings into an environmental document, as appropriate.

M. Assist the project team with responding to public comments. It is assumed up to twenty (20) hours to address public comments. Technical comments requiring more time to address may require additional budget, and a scope augmentation will be submitted at a later time.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
All tasks are assumed to begin upon execution of the contract or receipt of a Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the Client.

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALLISON ESTES, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH CIVICPLUS, LLC FOR WEBSITE

HOSTING, SUPPORT, AND MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a three-year agreement with two (2), one-year renewal options with CivicPlus, LLC to provide website hosting, support, and maintenance services.

BACKGROUND
CivicPlus, LLC has provided website design, hosting, maintenance, and annual support services for the City’s website since 2017. The City’s initial agreement with CivicPlus commenced on June 6, 2017, and expired on June 30, 2022. Since that time, the City has continued services under a Statement of Work (“SOW”) specifically for services related to website hosting, support, and maintenance services. The Statement of Work notes that the Master Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods until either party provides written notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the end of the initial term or any subsequent renewal term. Pursuant to the terms of the current agreement and SOW, CivicPlus provides the following services associated with website hosting, support, and maintenance services:
 CRT (Request Tracker) User Licenses (5–10 Users): Provides user accounts for the CivicPlus CRT system, allowing staff to log, track, and manage support requests or internal tickets related to the website.
 CivicMedia Standard Annual Fee – Includes Live Streaming + 10GB Storage:

Covers annual media hosting and streaming, including 10GB of storage for archived videos, recordings, and media files.
 Additional Notify Me SMS Subscribers: Expands the CivicPlus “Notify Me” communication tool by adding 500 SMS subscribers beyond the base package, allowing more residents to opt in for text and email alerts.  Platinum Security Package Upgrade Annual Fee: Provides enhanced website security, including advanced firewalls, DDoS mitigation, continuous monitoring, and compliance support.

AND MAINTENANCE
P a g e | 2
 CivicPlus Website Annual Fee for Hosting and Support: Covers website hosting on CivicPlus servers, staff technical support, routine updates, uptime monitoring, and backups.
 CivicSend Communication Platform Annual Fee: Supports community outreach through CivicPlus’s email and messaging platform, including alerts, subscriber list management, engagement tracking, and multi-channel delivery (email, text, and social media).
 36-Month Redesign Ultimate Annual – Municipal Websites Central: Ensures a complete website redesign on a scheduled 36-month cycle under the “Ultimate” package, which includes enhanced design features, accessibility compliance, and modern templates, structured as an annual fee for budgeting purposes.

DISCUSSION
Staff is recommending approval of a three-year agreement with two (2) one-year renewal options with CivicPlus for continued website maintenance and hosting services. The annual cost is $17,500 for the first year, with a five percent (5%) increase applied to each successive year of the agreement. Over the potential five-year term, the total contract amount shall not exceed $96,700.

Cost Breakdown (Website Hosting, Maintenance, and Support):

Year Annual Cost
Year 1 $17,500
Year 2 $18,375
Year 3 $19,294
Year 4 (Renewal 1) $20,258
Year 5 (Renewal 2) $21,271
Total (5 years) $96,700
Pursuant to Administrative Policy A-F-5, Purchasing, Bidding, and Contracting Policy, a Request for Proposals (RFP) process is unnecessary, as CivicPlus is the sole provider of these services. In accordance with the City’s Sole Source/Sole Brand Purchases guidelines, commodities and services available from only one manufacturer or vendor are exempt from competitive bidding. Because the CivicPlus platform is proprietary and compatible only with its own maintenance services, CivicPlus qualifies as a sole source provider. This designation ensures the continuity, security, and integrity of the City’s website.

FISCAL IMPACT
Over the potential five-year term, the total contract amount will not exceed $96,700. Funding for this agreement has already been appropriated in the approved FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 budgets (1010130-431890).

Future costs will be included in subsequent budget cycles as appropriate. Should staff pursue any additional services, a mid-year budget adjustment will be brought forward for Council consideration.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the agreement and direct staff to pursue other alternatives.

Service Letter Agreement (SLA)
Consultant, herein referred to as CivicPlus, will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the GCMS® available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least

99.9%, in each case during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service Commitment”). In the event CivicPlus does not meet the Service Commitment, the City of Yorba Linda will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below. • “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the CGMS, was “Unavailable.” Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any Exclusion (defined below).
• “Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean:
o The HTML of the home page of the site is not delivered in 10 seconds or less 3 times in a row when tested from inside our network and returns a status of 200.
o Notwithstanding the above, connectivity and network issues affecting the CivicPlus headquarters causing HTML of the home page of the site not being delivered in 10 seconds or less 3 times in a row will not be considered “unavailable” or “unavailability” under this Service Level Agreement. o The Main page of the site returns to a status other than 200 or 302 3 times in a row.

Page 528 of 601 ends

2905/009410-1001
19412602.3 a09/11/25 EXHIBIT A.
• A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we will credit back to an eligible account.

Service Commitments and Service Credits
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by the City of Yorba Linda (excluding one-time payments such as upfront payments) for the month accordance with the schedule listed below.

Uptime Percentage in Calendar Month Service Credit as Percentage of Monthly Fee

99.9% or Greater None
Less than 99.9% 1%
CivicPlus will apply any Service Credits only against future payments otherwise due from the City. Service Credits will not entitle City to any refund or other payment from CivicPlus.

A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the City Agreement, the City’s sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by CivicPlus to provide the service is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this written SLA.

Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, City must submit a claim by opening a case with Support. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by CivicPlus by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:

1. the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;

2. the dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;

3. the affected Site domains; and

4. Any documentation that corroborate your claimed outage.

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by CivicPlus and is less than the Service Commitment, then Civic Plus will issue the Service Credit to the City within one billing cycle following the month in which the request is confirmed by CivicPlus.

The City’s failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify the City from receiving a Service Credit.

SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of GCMS®, or any other GCMS® performance issues: (i) that result from a suspension; (ii) caused by factors outside of CivicPlus’ reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of CivicPlus;

Page 529 of 601 ends

19412602.3 a09/11/25 EXHIBIT A.
(iii) that result from any actions or inactions of the City or any third party; (iv) that result from City equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within CivicPlus’ direct control); (v) that result from any maintenance as provided for pursuant to the Client Agreement; or (vi) arising from CivicPlus’ suspension and termination of the City’s right to use the GCMS® in accordance with the Client Agreement (collectively, the “SLA Exclusions”)..

Disaster Recovery Feature Service Commitment
CivicPlus will use commercially reasonable efforts to insure that in the event of a disaster that make the Primary data center unavailable (defined below), the City’s site will be brought back online at a secondary data center (the “Service Commitment”). In the event CivicPlus does not meet the Service Commitment, the City will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
• “Datacenter availability” is determined by inability to provide or restore functions necessary to support the Service. Examples of necessary functions include but are not limited Cooling, Electrical, Sufficient Internet Access, Physical space, and Physical access.
• A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the most anticipated time it will take to bring the service back online in the event of a data center event. • Recovery Point Objective (RPO) the amount of data lost that is considered acceptable.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL FOR UPDATES TO THE

GENERAL PLAN SAFETY ELEMENT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Michael Baker International for providing additional services related to updating the General Plan Safety Element.

BACKGROUND
On June 7, 2022, the City retained the services of Michael Baker International (MBI) for project management, grant management, and consulting services for safety-related efforts, including: 1) updating the General Plan Safety Element as required by State law; 2) preparation of a Local Hazard Mitigation Program; 3) updating the City’s Emergency Operations Plan; and 4) administration of a CalFIRE grant awarded to the City for an approximately 78-acre fuel reduction project. Since the initial contract was awarded, MBI has completed services related to all tasks with the exception of completing the update to the City’s General Plan Safety Element.

The initial contract with MBI totaled $471,880 for all services, of which only $18,810 was allocated for efforts related to updating the General Plan Safety Element. State law requires the General Plan Safety Element to be reviewed and updated as necessary to address the risk of fire for land classified very high fire hazard severity zones and include goals, policies, and objectives that protect the community from risk of wildfire. Working with City staff, MBI began efforts to update the General Plan Safety Element in 2023 and completed a draft of the document in early 2024. At that time, the project was put on hold so that City staff could prioritize public outreach efforts related to the Housing Element and Measure JJ ballot measure. The proposed PSA amendment will allow City staff and MBI to take the steps necessary to finalize the General Plan Safety Element update for the City Council’s consideration at a future hearing date.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MICHAEL

BAKER INTERNATIONAL FOR UPDATES TO THE GENERAL PLAN SAFETY ELEMENT P a g e | 2

DISCUSSION
Since the original PSA was awarded, CalFIRE has released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps that must be incorporated into the Safety Element update. The release of the updated maps has also increased public interest in the City’s planning efforts to address wildfire safety, so staff believes additional public outreach on the Safety Element update (such as a community workshop) is warranted. These services were not included in the scope of the original PSA. MBI has provided a scope and cost proposal to complete this process, which is included as Exhibit A. Staff is requesting that the contract be amended to increase the contract amount from $471,880 to $488,940 as described in the table below:

Safety Mitigation Effort PSA
Total Original MBI Task Amount $471,880
Allocation for Safety Element Update $18,810
Proposed Amendment for Safety Element Update $17,060
GRAND TOTAL $488,940

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the FY2025-26 budget under account No. 1010220-431950 for the amendment costs.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could determine that the additional scope is not necessary or could authorize only a portion of the recommended items.

ANALYST
SUBJECT: DENIAL OF CLAIM FOR DAMAGES-SUZANNE DAVIS, CECILE PHAM,

ERIC HA VU, ESTATE OF MICHAEL THIEN AN VU

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of Yorba Linda deny the claims for damages filed by Suzanne Davis, Cecile Pham, Eric Ha Vu and the Estate of Michael Thien An Vu.

BACKGROUND
Claims for damages filed against the City are reviewed and investigated by City staff and a third-party claims administrator with George Hills Company, Inc. George Hills Company specializes in claims management and risk management services. These services are provided through the City’s contract membership in the California Insurance Pool Authority.

City staff make recommendations to the Council for settlement or denial based on the investigatory findings. A claimant’s failure to provide evidence of and/or supporting documents to substantiate the claim for damages will also result in a recommendation for denial of the claim.

DISCUSSION
The following claims for damages have been recommended for denial based on investigations by City staff and the third-party administrator. Further details for each claim are available upon request.

Suzanne Davis
A claim was submitted alleging that the claimant’s vehicle was damaged after driving over wet paint on or near Paseo del Prado and Esperanza. The claimant stated there were no cones or barriers warning of wet paint and submitted photos and witness information in support of the claim.

Our review confirmed that the City did not perform any painting at this location on the dates alleged. No City employees, contractors, or volunteers were involved in or responsible for

Page 552 of 601 ends

DENIAL OF CLAIM FOR DAMAGES-SUZANNE DAVIS, CECILE PHAM, ERIC HA VU, ESTATE

OF MICHAEL THIEN AN VU
P a g e | 2
the incident. The City has no ownership, control, or maintenance responsibility over the alleged paint work.

Accordingly, the third-party administrator and City staff recommend denying the claim.

Cecile Pham, Eric Ha Vu, and Estate of Michael Thien An Vu Claims were submitted by the parents and the estate of a 45-year-old decedent who was alleged to have been struck and killed by a train. The claims were filed through legal counsel and appear to have been submitted against multiple agencies.

City staff and the third-party administrator confirmed that the City does not own, maintain, or control the railroad tracks at the subject location. The City is not involved in the design, safety measures, signage, or lighting associated with the tracks. This incident did not arise from any actions or inactions by City employees, contractors, or volunteers.

Accordingly, City staff and the third-party administrator recommend rejection of the claims to commence the six-month statute of limitations.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

ALTERNATIVES
As an alternative to staff’s recommendations for the claims, the City Council has the following options:

1. Accept liability for the claim and pay the amount specified in the claim forms.

2. Grant settlement authority up to a certain amount and direct the claims adjuster to enter into settlement negotiations with the claimants.

241/91 EXPRESS CONNECTOR PROJECT AGREEMENTS APPROVED
A major project milestone was met as the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) Board of Directors unanimously approved the CEO’s execution of the four-party Master and Operating Agreements for the 241/91 Express Connector Project. When completed, the project will provide a new, tolled direct connection between the 91 Express Lanes and the 241 Toll Road, improving connectivity and traffic flow through the area.

The Master Agreement defines the commitments and responsibilities of the F/ETCA, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), ensuring coordinated development, construction, and operation of the project. Additionally, the Master Agreement includes reimbursement to RCTC for the completed Eastbound McKinley 2.0 project, providing capacity for future 241/91 Express Connector volumes.

The Operating Agreement specifies the detailed operational roles and obligations among the toll operators – F/ETCA, OCTA and RCTC, including performance metrics, traffic monitoring, toll policy and enforcement requirements.

The F/ETCA Board also authorized the CEO to execute two agreements with Caltrans. The Construction Cooperative Agreement obligates Caltrans to bid, award, and manage the project for construction. The Express Connector Maintenance Agreement specifies that Caltrans will maintain roadway and structure elements of the project and be funded by F/ETCA.

The F/ETCA’s approval of the agreements is the first step to move the project into the construction phase. The project is expected to go out for construction bid in late 2025 and open to traffic by early 2029.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
The Boards of Directors received an update on the Agencies’ Strategic Plan activities through June 2025. The activities adopted in the Strategic Plan are underway or in line with original expectations envisioned in the plan and meet the Agencies’ goals and objectives outlined in the seven focus areas: Fiscal Management, Environmental Stewardship, Customer Service, Tolling Technology, Public Engagement, Capital Projects and Regional Mobility Partnerships.

The Strategic Plan is a five-year rolling plan of key activities anticipated to be delivered through Fiscal Year 2029. The near horizon focus of the plan is centered around the following activities:
• Opportunities for continued early paydown of bond principal, resulting in reduction of debt and future interest savings. An early paydown of $47 million is planned in Fiscal Year 2026 for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency (SJHTCA). • The planning for the funding and phasing to advance the SR 241 Loma Segment and SR 73 Catalina View capital improvement projects.
• Delivery of the 241/91 Express Connector in coordination with project partners. • Operational investments that maintain and improve efficiencies in roadway operations and customer service. • Continuation of the Agencies’ legacy for environmental stewardship and exploration of broader approaches that includes progress made with the development of the Saddle Club Preservation Property for recreational uses, and community involvement, such as the Fossils in Your Backyard program and Spring Tours. • Collaboration on studies to apply and enhance innovations in transportation that improve safety, increase throughput, and align with statewide efforts.

ANNUAL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW FISCAL YEAR 2025
The annual investment review, conducted by the Agencies’ investment advisor, Chandler Asset Management, detailed the Agencies’ investment portfolios for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25).

In FY25, the Agencies’ combined $1.7 billion portfolio earned $61.8 million in interest, and portfolio returns exceeded assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The Agencies’ flexible investment strategies have enabled the portfolios to take advantage of recent increases in interest rates by reinvesting into higher-yielding securities. The portfolio reflects the Agencies’ strong fiscal management practices and provides the ability for early bond paydown, cash funded capital programs and maintains adequate reserves for future uncertainties.
