Item 8i. Resolution adoptina the City of Bakersfield Disadvantaaed Business Enterprise Proqram
for use on federally funded hiahwav improvement proiects in the City of Bakersfield for Fiscal Year
2001-02. Federal regulations require recipients of US Department of Transportation (DOT) funds
to develop specific plans and establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. In
1983 this Federal DBE program was enacted to create a "level playing field" by ensuring that firms
competing for DOT-assisted contracts are not disadvantaged. Using the methodology described in
the program, the City's 2001-02 overall goal for DOT-assisted contracts has been computed to be
18%. The goal is for 18% of Federal Highway Administration funds received by the City to go to
DBE firms as certified by CalTrans. This resolution also includes that upon adoption of this year's
DBE program, approval of future programs be designated to the Public Works Director or his
designee in order to streamline the annual approval process required by the California Department
of Transportation.

Item 8i. Resolution in support of the B.I.G. (Business, Industry, and Government) Coalition of the
Southern San Joaauin Valley. Costs to local governments, business, industry and local taxpayers
in California, especially in Kern County, are skyrocketing due to State and Federal mandates. Cities
in the San Joaquin Valley are forming a coalition with the building industry associations and other
business groups in their respective communities called B.I.G. (Business, Industry, and Government)
Coalition of the Southern San Joaquin Valley. The B.I.G. Coalition was formed to provide a unified
voice for important issues that are common to government, business and trade associations in the
region. B.I.G. Coalition is needed to compete with the legislative power of the San Francisco Bay
Area and Greater Los Angeles.
This resolution states that the B.hG. Coalition will communicate its positions and concerns to state
and federal officials where business and government agree on their positions. The Building Industry
of Kern County has sent a letter in support of B.I.G., which requests the City to adopt the resolution.
The letter is included in your packet. Numerous cities, business groups and building industry
associations in the Southern San Joaquin Valley have adopted similar resolutions of support.
Aqreements:
Item 81. Agreement with Michael Brandman Associates for $26.665 for the PreParation of an
environmental document to cover the construction of a Pacific Gas & Electric Substation. This
project involves the construction of a Pacific Gas & Electric Substation on the east side of Morning
Drive north of Paladino Drive. The substation construction is necessary to development in the
northeast. This project will be developed in coordination with the water facility currently under
construction by California Water Service. Both facilities are located on an 80 acre parcel which has
frontage on Morning Drive. A power line will be constructed from the area adjacent to the Bear
Mountain Cogeneration Plant to the new substation a distance of approximately two miles.
The Public Utility Commission desires an environmental document for the substation that is 'liered"
off the City in the Hills Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Michael Brandman Associates prepared
that EIR and is the logical choice to prepare this environmental document. The contract amount is
$26,665. .Funding is currently available within the Water Resources Department Capital
Improvement budget.
Item 8m. Agreement with the Kern Hiah School District to continue to orovide security services for
school functions at Kern High School District locations. This agreement will allow the District to
continue to use peace officers including Reserves, when available, at school functions, and will
replace the current agreement, which terminates December 31,2001. The District will compensate
the City for these services. Peace officers performing this extra duty assignment shall be paid at the
rate of one and one-half times their hourly rate, provided that each such officer shall be entitled to
a minimum of three hours pay for each such assignment. For police reserve officers who perform
such voluntary assignments, the District shall pay the City $60.00 per reserve for the first four hours,
or any portion thereof, and $15.00 for each additional hour for each activity/function. The term of
this agreement is for three years, commencing on January 1, 2002.

Item 8n. Aareement with Riotide AQuatics for use of Jastro Park swimming P0ol. Riptide Aquatics
competitive swim team desires to enter into an agreement with the City for use of the swimming pool
at Jastro Park. Their swim team practices year-round and is requesting use of the pool twice a day
during the morning hours. The agreement is similar to previous agreements the Council has
approved with other aquatic clubs utilizing City pool facilities.
Item 80. Aareement with the Bakersfield Swim Club for use of Jastro Park swimming pool. The
Bakersfield Swim Club competitive swim team desires to enter into an agreement with the City for
use of the swimming pool at Jastro Park. Their swim team practices year-round and is requesting
use of the pool twice a day during the evening hours. The agreement is similar to previous
agreements the Council has approved with other aquatic clubs utilizing City pool facilities.
Item 8D. License Aareement with Burlinaton Northern Santa Fe Railroad Comoany for $12,150 to
allow the Citv to construct Mohawk Sewer. Phase II sewer line under their railroad tracks. The sewer
system serving the area west of Highway 99 and adjacent to Rosedale Highway requires continual
maintenance and is inadequate to meet projected growth. This sewer line will serve the growing
area and eliminate the Highway 99 overcrossing. These agreements will allow the City to construct
the sewer under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks along Mohawk Avenue. Sufficient
funds have been budgeted to cover the costs of these license agreements.
Item 8q. TransPortation Impact Fee Aareement for Tracts 5882 and 5827 located on the south side
of Brimhall Road between Allen Road and Verduao Lane. Castle and Cooke California, Inc. has
constructed a portion of Brimhall Road, which includes one west bound lane and one east bound
lane between Allen Road and Jewetta Avenue and one east bound lane between Jewetta Avenue
and Verdugo Lane. These improvements are listed on the Transportation Impact Fee Facilities list.
Castle and Cooke has requested that all of the transportation impact fee credit available for this
improvement be applied to lots within Tract 5882. Their credit available is approximately $189,713.
Item 8r. Amendment to Aareement with HTE fo develoDina multiole fee tables. Plannina data
conversion and four additional trainina davs ($17,000 for a total contract amount of $399,726). On
June 13, 2001, the City Council approved the purchase of software for the Development Services
Department from H.T.E., Inc. to replace the current permitting system with H.T.E.'s building
permitting modules. The building permit system application calculates the building fees; however,
determining and calculating fees for assessment districts is also part of this permitting system. This
is not the case for most jurisdictions and, therefore, not considered a standard feature in H.T.E.'s
building permit system module. This amendment to the agreement is for H.T. Eo to develop multiple
fee tables associated with assessment districts, so that when a building permit is issued, the
assessment district fees are calculated. It will also be necessary to perform a "conversion" of the
Planning permit database in addition to the Building permits. This agreement provides $13,000 for
the HTE system changes and $4,000 for an additional four days of training needed for Development
Services and Public Works staff. The total cost is $17,000 and is available in the Building Division's
Capital Outlay budget.

Bakersfield 1999-2000 Phase II Proiect. This project includes the installation of traffic signal
interconnect conduit and resurfacing various streets with asphalt concrete. As part of the resurfacing
effort on Chester Avenue, broken concrete gutters are being removed and replaced to keep water
from reaching the areas under the newly resurtaced pavement areas. Staff had initially identified
areas to be replaced, however, since that time, more concrete gutter deterioration has occurred and
an additional 6,000 square feet of gutter has been identified that needs to be replaced. Based on
unit prices, the cost for this work totals $42,626. This work is funded 88% by Federal gas tax funds
and 12% by State gas tax funds. Sufficient funds are available within the project to cover the cost
of this change order.
Bids:
Item 8t. Award bid for traffic siqnal and lightinq system installation on Auburn Street at Eissler Street
to Loop Electric Comoanv in the amount of $80.849.50: and transfer $15,000 of CIP Budget

Liahtin(] System Installation on Auburn Street at Eissler Street Project within the Gas Tax Fund. This
project is budgeted in the current fiscal year within the ISTEA Fund and the Gas Tax Fund. An
additional $15,000 must be appropriated for the Iow bid to be awarded. Three acceptable bids were
received and staff recommends award to Loop Electric.
Item 8u. Award bid for five rescue tools to Fire Services Specialty and Supply in the amount of
$97.938.17. One acceptable bid was received bythe deadline, with another bid received several
hours late. The acceptable bid is within the budgeted amount and staff recommends award to Fire

General Fund oDeratina budaet. The U.S. Department of Justice funded approximately $200,000
in equipment and supplies for Kern County Fire, Kern County Environmental Health and the
Bakersfield Fire Department. The City's portion was $64,499.62. The equipment and supplies have
been received. In addition, the Department of Justice is providing funds for the purchase of
specialized training equipment for fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services
and law enforcement agencies as part of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness
Program. These funds represent the equipment component of a broader initiative designed to
enhance the response capability of designated cities to respond to acts of terrorism involving the use
of weapons of mass destruction. This is a grant that cannot be denied, but our "wish list" has to be
approved during the grant application process. The City is the lead agency for these purchases;
however, $19,092 is for local hospitals, $51,405.46 is for the Kern County Fire Department and
$209,499.53 is for the Bakersfield Fire Department.

HEARINGS
Item 9c. Resolution orderina the vacation of a portion of old (superseded) Coffee Road south of the
Burlinaton Northern Santa Fe Railway; and riaht of way exchanae aoreement with World Oil
Corporation located on Coffee Road, north of Brimhall Road, south of the BNSF railroad tracks. The
City is petitioning for the vacation of this portion of Coffee Road in exchange for additional road right
of way needed for slope repair on realigned Coffee Road south of the BNSF overcrossing. The
vacated roadway and the additional right of way both are situated on land owned by World Oil
Corporation. On October 24, 2001, the Council adopted the Resolution of Intention declaring its
intention to order the vacation of a portion of old (superseded) Coffee Road south of the BNSF
Railroad.
On August 14, 2001, the City entered into a Dispute Resolution Agreement with Granite Construction
Company to obtain the right of way owned by World Oil Corporation for the removal and repair of
the Coffee Road overpass retaining wall. With this right of way exchange agreement, the City
agrees to exchange a portion of old Coffee Road right of way and World Oil Corporation shall deed
to the City that area necessary to remove the retaining wall and complete the slope and drainage
to a uniform condition with the rest of the overpass.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and approval of the right of way exchange agreement.
REPORTS
Item 10a. Oral report regardina refinancina 1976 General Obliqation Water Bonds. Finance Director
Gregory Klimko will provide an overview of the staff proposal to refinance the 1976 General
Obligation Water Bonds, which have a scheduled final maturity on December 15, 2006. The
refinancing should produce a $45,000 to $50,000 annual savings over the next five years.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 12a. ProPerty acauisition of Mesa Marin Sports Complex: 1 ) purchase aqreement for $650.000
with Frank A. and Virginia Collins to purchase real property at 1100 Kern Canyon Road; 2)
appropriation of $600,000 from Park Improvement Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement Budqet;
and 3) aooropriati0n of $50,000 from Transportation Development Fund Balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget. The property is located south of State Route 178 immediately north of Mesa
Marin Raceway and encompasses approximately 20 acres. The purchase includes the softball
facilities as well as several related buildings on the site. The purchase price of $650,000 consists
of $100,000 for land funded by park acquisition fees, $500,000 for improvements funded by park
development fees, and $50,000 from Transportation Development Fund for costs of a required
deceleration lane into the property. There have been several unsuccessful attempts to operate the
softball facility by several private groups and it has fallen into disrepair. The cost to acquire this
facility would be considerably less than the cost for the City to construct a similar new facility.
The opportunity to acquire the site is consistent with the need for park facilities in the northeast and
the residential development planned for the area. It is anticipated the pace of bringing the facility
back on line and up to current standards will be determined by future budget constraints and the rate
of growth in the area. It is likely that it will be accomplished in phases based on available resources
over the next two to three years.

Also included in the agreement is a plan to hook up to Cai-Water to provide consistent quality water
to the property. These costs will be shared by the City and the property owner, and the City's share
should not exceed $35,000. Staff will return to appropriate these funds when the amount becomes
certain.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of rebate.
BACKGROUND: On January 31,2001, Council approved an appropriation of $557,212 for the purchase
and installation of Light Emitting Diode (LED) green lights. The green lights at all traffic signals within the
City's limits were changed from incandescent to LED which are operationally more cost effective. Pacific
Gas & Electric Company estimated the City's annual electricity cost savings to be over $150,000. This
project qualified for Pacific Gas & Electric Company's rebate program, which reimbursed the City 100%
of the original appropriation.

SUBJECT:
An ordinance adopting a Negative Declaration and amending Section 17.06.020 (Zone Map
No. 102-07) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zoning from
R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) to C-2/PCD (Regional Commercial/Planned Commercial
Development) on 10.60 acres located at the northeast corner of Jewetta Avenue and Olive
Drive (ZC #P01-0219) and an amendment to condition number 2 of Ordinance No. 3284
requiring applicant to develop only his proportionate share of bridge construction. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant's proposed C-2 zone change would allow commercial development on 10.60 acres.
The PCD overlay zone requires review and approval of development plans prior to construction to
ensure that future development is compatible with surrounding land uses and that any impacts, which
may be created by such development, will have a minimum impact on the surrounding land uses.
Amendment to Public Works condition number 2 Ordinance No. 3284 would allow the applicant to
participate only in the subject sites proportionate share of bridge construction.
The City Council approved the Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment P01-0219 and gave
first reading of the ordinance on November 14, 2001. The General Plan Amendment was approved
without changes at the City Council hearing. No one spoke in opposition to the proposed project. The
Planning Commission approved the Negative Declaration, general plan amendment and zone change
on September 20, 2001.

SUBJECT:
An Ordinance adopting the Negative Declaration and amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code
and Zoning Map 101-26 from E (Estate) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling) on 117.08 acres
generally located north of Reina Road to Snow Road, between Allen Road and Jewetta
Avenue (ZC P01-0520). (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
This item was given first reading at the November 14, 2001 Council meeting.
This zone change would permit the development of single family residential units. The property owner
has received County approval of a tentative tract and this will allow that development to occur when
annexed to the City. The surrounding area is being developed or has tract approvals for residential.
The majority of the section of land is being annexed to the city. The site is known as the Reina No.
3 Annexation and is in process. No one spoke in opposition at the November 14th Council hearing
or at the Planning Commission hearing.
The attached ordinance includes conditions placed on the project at the City Council hearing (first
reading) of November 14, 2001, requiring a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and radial design
of cul-de-sac lots. The applicant has agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the project.
Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project would not have a significant
effect on the environment. Therefore, a Negative Declaration was prepared and posted on August
6, 2001, in accordance with CEQA.

An Ordinance amending Subsection D and an addition of Subsection F of Section 2.84.350
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code Relating to Annual Vacation Leave.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the Ordinance was at the Council meeting held on November 14, 2001. These
amendments are necessary to reflect the annual vacation accruals (maximum balance) that were agreed to
with the employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and Management Units. In essence, the
amendments reflect the changes to vacation accrual that the Council has already approved when it passed
the Resolution setting salaries and related benefits for these employees on August 22, 2001. This Ordinance,
therefore, provides that employees in the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory and Management Units
will now be allowed to accrue a maximum balance up to 3 years worth of vacation where they had previously
been allowed to accrue 2 years worth.

Resolution adding territory, Area 3-15 (McKee, Racine) to the Consolidated Maintenance District
and confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works Director's Report and authorizing
collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector. (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On November 14, 2001 the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1259 to add territory,
Area 3-15 (McKee, Racine), to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by Section 13.04.021 of the
Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of a park
and street landscaping for Tentative Tract No 5632. Area 3-15 is generally bounded by McKee Road on the
north, a line 1/4 mile west of Wible Road on the east, a line 600 feet south of McKee Road on the south and
a line 660 feet east of Akers Road on the west. This area will be under the park and streetscape zones of
benefit and will be assigned the appropriate tier levels when a park and street landscaping have been installed.
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which waives the
public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite
the maintenance district process, to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner also has submitted a
Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated
Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been
drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with the subdivision map. A copy of this
covenant is attached for reference.

Resolution adopting the City of Bakersfield Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
Program for use on federally funded highway improvement projects in the City of
Bakersfield for Fiscal Year 2001-02. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Federal regulations require recipients of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) funds
establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. The Federal DBE program was enacted by
Congress in 1983 to create a "level playing field" for DBE's by ensuring that firms competing for DOT-assisted
contracts are not disadvantaged by unlawful discrimination.
The Resolution also includes a recital, that upon adoption of this year's Program, approval of future Programs
be designated to the Public Works Director or his designee, thereby streamlining the annual approval process
required by the California Department of Transportation.
Using the methodology described in the program, the City of Bakersfield's 2001-02 overall goal for DOT-
assisted contracts has been computed to be 18%. The goal is for 18% of Federal Highway Administration
funds received by the City to go to DBE firms as certified by CalTrans.
Notices regarding the City of Bakersfield's DBE Program have been advertised in 4 publications, in addition
to the notice appearing on the City's website. The public comment period is 45 days from date of publication
pursuant to Federal Regulations. This notification period is over on November 29, 2001. To date, no
comments have been received.
This resolution will be submitted to CalTrans along with the City of Bakersfield's "DBE" Program for their
approval.

Resolution in support of the B.I.G. (Business, Industry, and Government) Coalition of the
Southern San Joaquin Valley
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution
BACKGROUND:
Cities in the San Joaquin Valley are forming a coalition with the building industry associations in their
respective communities called the B.I.G. (Business, Industry, and Government) Coalition of the Southern San
Joaquin Valley. The B.I.G. Coalition was formed to provide a unified voice for important issues that are
common to government, business and trade associations in the region. The B.I.G. Coalition is needed to
compete with the legislative power of the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles.
The resolution before the City Council states that the B.I.G. Coalition will communicate it's positions and
concerns to state and federal officials where business and government agree on their positions. The issues
and positions that are generally agreed upon include:
5.
6.
7.
8.
Local control of State standards affecting housing affordability.
Build and sustain collaborative partnerships with all entities involved in improving Kern
County's economy, workforce development, attraction of new businesses, as well as retaining
and expanding existing businesses.
Retention of local control over service levels.
Application of the prevailing wage requirement to reflect local conditions.
Full funding of State-mandated services - enforcement of SB90.
Retention of locally imposed fines and taxes for local use and distribution.
Resist additional layers of government that undermine local control.
Support fair allocation of public investment for transportation, water, wastewater, and
education infrastructure.
Support development of rational local government financing mechanisms.
The Building Industry of Kern County has sent a letter of support for the resolution, which is attached. Most
cities and building industry associations in the Southern San Joaquin Valley have adopted similar resolutions
of support.

Agreement with Michael Brandman Associates $26,665 for the preparation of an
environmental document to cover the construction of a Pacific Gas & Electric Substation.
(Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The project involves the construction of a Pacific Gas & Electric Substation on the east side of Morning
Drive north of Paladino Drive. The substation power line construction is a necessary prelude to
development in Northeast Bakersfield. This project will be developed in coordination with the water
facility currently under construction by California Water Service. Both facilities are located on an 80
acre parcel which has frontage on Morning Drive. A power line will be constructed from the area
adjacent to the Bear Mountain Cogeneration Plant to the new substation, a distance of approximately
two miles.
The Public Utility Commission will be utilizing this environmental document in their permit process for
the substation. They desire an environmental document which is "tiered" off the City in the Hills
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Michael Brandman Associates prepared that EIR and is the
logical choice to prepare this environmental document. The contract amount is $26,665.
Funding for this product is currently available within the Water Resources Department Capital
Improvement budget.

1. Approval of Agreement with Riptide Aquatics for use of Jastro Park swimming pool.
(Wards 6.)
RECOMMENDATION: *
Staff recommends approval of the Agreements.
BACKGROUND:
Riptide Aquatics competitive swim team desires to enter into an Agreement with the City of
Bakersfield for use of the City's swimming pool at Jastro Park. The swim team practices year-round and
competes under the auspices of United States Swimming, Inc.
The swim team is requesting use of the Jastro Park swimming pool twice a day. In general, Riptide
will utilize the facility du~:ing the morning hours. The Agreement is similar in nature to previous agreements
the City Council has approved with other aquatic clubs utilizing City's swim facilities.
According to the Master Fee Schedule, use of City swimming pools is charged at $80 for two (2)
hours. This is reflective of the "pool-party" nature of such events. The cost also includes lifeguards. Staff
proposes that the pool rental rate for the above teams be $28 per hour given the high quantity of usage and
the fact they do not require lifeguards. In addition, $28 per hour is the same rate that the City charged other
swim clubs and the Kern High School District for the rental of City pools during its high school swim season
and prior to its execution of the current shared facility agreement with the City. Since the proposed $28 rate
is lower than the listed Master Fee Schedule, the contract is presented to Council for approval.

(Wards 4 and 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of License Agreements.
BACKGROUND: The sewer system serving the area west of Highway 99 and adjacent to Rosedale Highway
requires continual maintenance and is inadequate to meet projected growth. The planned Mohawk Trunk
sewer line will serve the growing area and eliminate the Highway 99 crossing. These licenses will allow the
City to construct the sewer under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks along Mohawk Avenue.
Pre-qualification of contractors has been completed, and the bidding period will start by the end of the year.
Sufficient funds have been budgeted to cover the cost of the Licenses.

Amendment No. 3 to Agreement 97-283 with HTE for developing multiple fee tables, Planning
data conversion and 4 additional training days ($17,000 for a total contract amount of
$399,726. (All wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
On June 13, 2001, the City Council approved the purchase of software for the Development Services
Department from H.T.E., Inc. This software replaces the current permitting system with H.T.E's
building permitting modules. The original amount for this contract was $382,726.
The H.T.E Building Permit System application calculates the building fees, however, determining and
calculating fees for assessment districts is also part of the City's permitting process. This is not the
case for most jurisdictions and, therefore, not considered a standard feature in H.T.E.'s Building
Permit System module. This amendment is for H.T.E to develop multiple fee tables associated with
the different types of assessment districts so that when a building permit is issued, the assessment
district fees for a particular tract are calculated. Including the assessment district fee tables requires
a modification of H.T.E.'s permitting application.
During the initial training phase of this project it was determined that HTE needed to perform a
"conversion" of the Planning permit database in addition to the Building permits. This additional
process is required due to the number of existing Planning records in the current permitting database.
In addition to the above mentioned "HTE System Change Requests" it has been determined that four
additional training days will be required to allow for the training of the additional complexities of the
changes made in the assessment district calculation process and to include the Public Works staff
members in the training sessions conducted by HTE in the coming months.
The cost for the two system changes (Assessment District Calculation @ $5,500 and Planning Permit
database conversion @ $7,500) is $13,000. The cost for the four additional training days is $4,000.
The total costs of this amendment to the contract is $17,000 and is available in the Building Division's
Capital Outlay budget.

Agreement No. 00-309 with G riffith Company for the Resurfacing/Interconnect Various Streets
in the City of Bakersfield 1999-2000 Phase II Project. (Wards 2, 5, and 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Contract Change Order.
BACKGROUND: This Project includes the installation of traffic signal interconnect conduit and the resurfacing
of various streets with asphalt concrete in the City of Bakersfield. As part of the resurfacing effort on Chester
Avenue, broken concrete gutters are being removed and replaced to keep water from reaching the areas
under the pavement, which would thereby reduce the life of the newly resurfaced pavement areas. Staff had
initially identified areas to be replaced when the plans were prepared for the project. Since that time, more
concrete gutter deterioration has occurred so that now 6,000 additional square feet of gutter has been
recommended to be removed and replaced. Based on unit prices, the cost for this work totals $42,626.00.
This work is funded 88% by Federal gas tax funds and 12% by State gas tax funds. Sufficient funds are
available within the project to cover the cost of this change order.
With this Change Order the revised contract amount will be $1,111,201.00.

2. Right of Way Exchange Agreement with World Oil Corporation located on Coffee road,
North of Brimhall Road, south of the BNSF railroad tracks. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield is petitioning for the vacation of this portion of Coffee Road in
exchange for additional road right of way needed for slope repair on realigned Coffee south of the BNSF
overcrossing. The vacated roadway and the additional right of way both are situated on land owned by World
Oil Corporation.
On August 14, 2001, the City of Bakersfield entered into Dispute Resolution Agreement No. PW01-152 with
Granite Construction Company. Under this Agreement the City of Bakersfield agreed to obtain the right of
way owned by World Oil Corporation for the removal and repair of the Coffee Road Overpass retaining wall.
With this right of Way Exchange Agreement the City of Bakersfield agrees to exchange a portion of old Coffee
Road right of way and World Oil Corporation shall Deed to the City of Bakersfield that area in which it is
necessary to remove the retaining walt and complete the slope and drainage to a uniform condition with the
rest of the overpass.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Economic Development and Development Services Departments have

Approve Purchase Agreement between the City of Bakersfield and Frank A. and Virginia

Appropriate $600,000 from Park Improvement Fund Balance to the Capital Improvement
Budget.
Appropriate $50,000 from Transportation Development Fund Balance to the Capital
Improvement Budget
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of agreement and appropriations.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been negotiating with Frank A. and Virginia Collins to acquire the Mesa Marin Sports
Complex. The property is located south of State Route 178, immediately north of the Mesa Marin
Raceway in the City of Bakersfield. The property encompasses approximately 20 acres. The site is
a specialized recreational facility serving the northeast portion of the City. There have been several
attempts to operate the softball facility by several private groups which were unsuccessful. From 1988
to 1993 the City Recreation and Parks Department leased the facility for softball leagues but ceased
operation due to budgetary constraints. Subsequently, the facility was operated again by private
groups but has deteriorated and fallen into disrepair. The purchase includes the softball facilities as
well as several related buildings on the site.
The owners of the property approached the city about purchasing the facility a few months ago. The
opportunity to acquire the site is consistent with the need for park facilities in the northeast and would
provide needed additional park land and amenities to serve northeast Bakersfield where new
Kt

C:~ly Documents\WordPerfect Files~lesaAdmi.wpd
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
residential development is planned. This existing facility can provide needed softball and recreation
facilities for the anticipated growth in that area much sooner than if the city were to construct a new
facility. The cost to acquire this existing facility would be considerably less than the cost for the city
to construct a similar new facility. The property has been offered for sale before at a much higher
price, however, the owner is now interested in selling the property to the City at a more attractive
price.
The acquisition price of the property and improvements is based on an appraisal by Michael C.
Burger, MAI, an independent fee appraiser. The purchase agreement amount of $650,000 consists
of $100,000 for land funded by park acquisition fees (these are the funds the city typically uses to
acquire park land where new development is occurring) and $500,000 representing the depreciated
value of the improvements funded by park development fees (these are the funds the city uses to
develop new parks and improvements in developing areas) both from park improvement zone 6 -
Panorama (which encompasses the northeast portion of the city). The remaining $50,000 from the
Transportation Development Fund is to reimburse the property owner for costs associated with
construction of a required deceleration lane into the property. This purchase is a unique opportunity
to address park and recreation needs in this area more economically than the city's typical practice
of acquiring raw land and constructing a totally new park.
It is anticipated the pace of bringing the facility back on line and up to current standards will be
determined by future budget constraints and the rate of growth in the area. It is likely that it will be
accomplished in phases based on available resources over the next two to three years.
Aisc included in this agreement is a plan for a hook up to the Cai-water system to provide a more
consistent quality water supply. Since this benefits both the City and the property owner these costs
will be shared. It is anticipated that the estimated amount for the City share would not exceed an
additional $35,000. Staff will return at a later meeting to appropriate these funds when the amount
