Ordinances
Item 12c. First Readino of an Ordinance Aoorovino a Neoative Declaration and Amendino the Municioal
Code bv Chanoino the Zonino from R-1 and R-3 to C-O PCD (Professional and Administrative Office -
Planned Commercial Develooment) on 0.86 Acres Located at the Northwest Corner of South Real Road and
Elcia Drive. This item was heard by the. Planning Commission on January 18, 2007. This development is
adjacent to the Wild West Shopping Center. Stephen Hawkins P.E., representing Gartner Family Trust,
proposes the zone change to bring the zoning into conformance with the General Commercial General Plan
Land Use designation.
Based on traffic concerns heard at the public hearing, staff recommended a PCD overlay zone which requires
further review by the Planning Commission at the time of development. The applicant agreed to the
recommendation. The Planning Commission recommended adoption.
Resolutions
Item 12s. Resolution Aooointino Aoent to Reoresent the City in Filino Claims with the California Office of
Emeroencv Services. In January, 2007, severe weather caused irrigation water pipes to burst. The City's
property insurance policy does not cover irrigation systems. Up to 75% of incurred damages can be recovered
from the California Office of Emergency Services (COES) who requires that the City designate an agent to
present the claim. This resolution designates certain staff members as the agent for future reimbursement of
disaster claims to expedite reimbursements from the State.
Aareements
Item 12ee. Construction Manaoement Aoreement with Lim & Nascimento Enoineerino Corooration for the
Allen Road Bridoe Proiect over the Kern River in the amount of $992.050. Design for this project is nearing
completion. As a peer review procedure, it is preferred a preconstruction or constructability review be done by
a third party before final bid documents are prepared. This process has proven to be extremely valuable in
finding conflicts, errors, and omissions in designs prior to bidding, thus saving money in avoided change
orders. Bridge construction management will require an outside consultant with expertise to provide a

preconstruction review as well as for construction management services ($35,000 preconstruction + $957,050
construction management).
In February, 2006, LAN (Lim and Nascimento) Engineering was hired for construction management services
for the Chester Avenue Bridge Reconstruction project. They saved the City money due to their thorough and
detailed review of contract documents and their timely responses and replies to contractor questions and
concerns. Both bridge projects are similar in that they are both cast-in-place reinforced concrete bridges and
both are over the Kern River. In addition, LAN has established relationships with the regulatory agencies that
issue permits for Kern River bridge construction projects. Based on this, and the fact that the cost proposal is
well within industry standards for similar types of projects, staff recommends LAN to perform the
preconstruction review and construction management services for the Allen Road Bridge Construction Project.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to cover the cost of this agreement.
Item 12gg. Aoreement with Avetik and Nazeli Cholakian to Purchase Real Prooertv Located at the Northeast
Corner of Fairfax Road and Auburn Drive for the Fairfax Interchanoe Proiect at State Route 178 in the amount
of $65.600. The property being acquired is adjacent to the Hillcrest Postal Facility. The proposed on/off ramp
will require closure of the existing entrance driveway to the Postal Facility on Auburn Street. Staff negotiated
with the adjacent property owners to purchase enough property to construct a new entrance on Auburn Oaks
Drive.
The intersection of Fairfax and Auburn will also need to be improved and widened as part of the Interchange
Project. Additional right-of-way will need to be dedicated by the property owners in order to accomplish this.
Furthermore, the property owners submitted plans to construct a commercial development on their property,
which is being affected by the required Interchange improvements. This agreement outlines the
responsibilities of each party in relation to these improvements.
Item 12hh. Aoreement between the City and Bakersfield Redevelooment Aoencv with the University of La
Verne for the Purchase of the University's Lease Ootion in 1600 Truxtun Avenue in the amount of $60.000.
The University of La Veme has a leasehold interest in the Borton-Petrini Building through July 2007, with an
option to renew for an additional three years. Staff worked closely with the University and found a suitable
location at the Village Town Center, 24th and M Streets, a project located within the Old Town Kern,
Redevelopment Project Area. To encourage the University to consider this new redevelopment location for
their school, a relocation incentive structured as an early lease buyout of their space in the Borton-Petrini
Building was proposed by staff and accepted by the University.
The terms of the agreement provide that the payment to the University be made in 10 semi-annual installments
of $6,000 each upon occupancy for a five-year lease between the University and the property owner of 24th &
M Street. The acquisition of this right and interest of the University's lease in the Borton-Petrini Building will
benefit the Agency through the consolidation of its services and assist the Agency in streamlining its
redevelopment operations. The Agency is expected to approve this agreement at their March 12, 2007
meeting.
Item 12//. Desion Consultant Aoreement with DMJM Harris for Phase 2 of the Wests ide Parkway Proiect in
the amount of $6.491.588. Phase 1 of the Project includes the construction of Mohawk Street from Rosedale
Highway to Truxtun Avenue and Phase 2 includes the design of the remainder of the project. Five firms
responded to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate
(PS&E). Based on a review of their qualification submittals, the selection committee invited four of the firms to
interview. Based on the qualification submittals and interviews, DMJM Harris was the most qualified firm to
provide design services for this project. In accordance with federal procurement procedures for these types of
services, after DMJM Harris was selected as the most qualified firm, their cost for providing these services was
then negotiated between them and the City.
The funding secured to date will allow a majority of the project to be designed. City staff is pursuing additional

funding through KernCOG to complete the design work, and a supplemental agreement or an amendment to
this agreement will be required at a later date once that funding is secured. This agreement requires that
DMJM Harris deliver the completed plans by the fall of 2008.
Bids
Item 12/1. Award Contract to Stinson's Stationers. Inc. for Office Suoolies in an amount not to exceed
$350.000. Invitations to bid were sent to five suppliers and two firms responded. Based on an analysis of over
600 items, Stinson Stationers, Inc. offered the lowest prices overall. The initial contract period is for five years,
and is renewable annually thereafter for five consecutive one-year periods at the City's option and upon
mutually agreeable terms. The bid summary is available for review in the Purchasing office.
Miscellaneous
Item 1200. Acceotance of Financial Audit Reoorts. On January 17, 2007, the Audit Reports that included the

Recvclinc Procram. Following implementation of the City's voluntary curbside recycling program in July of
2003, approximately 4% of the City's 85,000 single-family homes subscribe. At the urging of many residents,
and in response to a recommendation by the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee, the issue was referred to
the Budget and Finance Committee to explore ways to create incentives.
On February 26, 2007 the Budget and Finance Committee made three recommendations in an effort to
increase participation in the curbside recycling program. These recommendations are detailed in the
administrative report and will become effective July 1, 2007.

SUBJECT: First reading of an ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending Section
17.06.020 (Zone Map No. 123-2) of Title Seventeen of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by
changing the zoning from R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) and R-3 (Multiple-Family Dwelling) to
C-O PCD (Professional and Administrative Office - Planned COl}lmercial Development) on
0.86 acres located at the northwest corner of South Real Road and Elcia Drive (ZC # 06-
2038 - Stephen Hawkins P.E. representing Gartner Family Trust) (Ward 1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On January 18, 2007, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone change
request, and recommended adoption by the City Council. The zone change request consists of changing
the zoning from R-1 (One-Family Dwelling) and R-3 (Multiple-Family Dwelling) zone to a G-O
(Professional and Administrative Office) zone on 0.86 acres. Due to opposition received at the hearing
regarding traffic conc~rns, staff recommended the PCD (Planned Commercial Development) overlay
zone which would require further review by the Planning Commission at the time of development. The
applicant was in agreement with staff's recommendation. The reason for the request is to bring the
zoning into conformance with the General Commercial General Plan Land Use designation on the
subject property.
The original request was for G-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning to be in compliance with the existing
zoning in the adjacent Wild West Shopping Center. During the processing of this zone change, the
applicant amended the application to request C-O (Professional and Administrative Office) zoning on the
subject parcels. This request took place after the hearing notice was mailed; however, renoticing the
project was not required because the C-O zone is more restrictive than the originally requested C-1 zone.
Based upon an initial environmental assessment, staff has determined the proposed project will not
significantly affect the physical environment or existing residential development in the area, therefore a
Negative Declaration was prepared and advertised. No mitigation measures were proposed.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on February 28, 2007.
On January 18, 2007, the Planning Commission held an advertised public hearing on this zone change
request and recommended adoption by the City Council. The zone change request consists of
changing the zoning from an R-2 CH (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling - Church Overlay) zone to an

wide strip approximately 834 feet long within RVTM 6202. Several lots along the eastern boundary of
RVTM 6202 contained R-2-CH zoning. A condition of approval for RVTM 6202 required the applicant
obtain a zone change to R-1 for this portion of the site in order to bring the site's zoning into
consistency with the R-1 zoning in related RVTM 6202.
No one spoke in opposition to the project at the Planning Commission hearing.

himself, Jack & Nuha Haddad, and the City of Bakersfield) (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on February 28. 2007. The City Council conducted a public
hearing on this zone change on February 7. 2007. Gordon Nipp, representing the Sierra Club, spoke in
opposition to staff's recommendation. The Council continued this item in order to enable staff to
address Mr. Nipp's comments. Mr. Nipp raised two issues associated with the 40-acre property at the
southeast corner of Cottonwood Road and E. Berkshire Road; potential health effects to future
inhabitants if wastewater spreading has occurred on the property and mitigation for the loss of
agricultural land. Staff confirmed that this site has never been used for wastewater spreading. The
City, as the future owner of the 40-acre property at the southwest corner of E. Planz Road and
Washington Street, plans to lease this property for agricultural use; because the proposal would not
result in a net loss of agricultural land, mitigation for the loss of agricultural land would not be
necessary.
The property at the southwest corner of E. Planz Road and Washington Street (future) is proposed to
be developed with 365 detached, two-story, single-family residential units.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this zone change and recommended
approval to the City Council on December 21, 2006. No agencies or individuals present opposed the
request. Conditions of approval and mitigation measures which address cultural resources, traffic,
parking, and public improvements are recommended as part of the project approval.
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 November 20,
2006, in accordance with CECA.

BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on February 7, 2007.
The proposed zone change would allow for the development of a maximum of 3,181 units for varying
densities of residential uses on the 634 acre project site.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this zone change and recommended
approval to the City Council on December 21,2007. No one present at the hearing was in opposition
to the request and the applicant agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the project. There were no

SUBJECT: Resolution Appointing Agent to Represent the City in Filing Claims with the California
Office of Emergency Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In January 2007, severe cold weather resulted in freezing conditions in the Bakersfield area. These
conditions caused damage to City property, resulting from burst water pipes in irrigation systems. The
City's Property insurance policy does not cover irrigation systems. The policy also has a $25,000
deductible. Damage to property other than irrigation systems did not exceed the policy deductible. The
Governor declared an emergency as a result of the freeze. The City can recover up to seventy-five
percent (75%) of incurred damages from the California Office of Emergency Services (COES).
COES requires the City to designate an agent that will present its claim to COES. This resolution
designates the City Manager, OR, Assistant City Manager, OR, Finance Director to prepare and present
the claim to COES. This action will designate the agent for the City for future reimbursement of disaster
claims which will expedite reimbursements from the State.

SUBJECT: Construction Management Agreement with Lim & Nascimento Engineering Corporation
($992,050) for Allen Road Bridge Project over the Kern River (Ward 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Design for the Allen Road Bridge Project over the Kern River is nearing completion. As
a peer review procedure, it is preferred a preconstruction or constructability review be done by a third
party before final bid documents are prepared. Constructability or preconstruction reviews have proven to
be extremely valuable in finding conflicts, errors, and omissions in designs prior to bidding thus saving
money in avoided change orders. Bridge construction management will require an outside consultant with
expertise to provide a preconstruction review as well as for construction management services ($35,000
preconstruction + $957,050 construction management).
In February, 2006, LAN (Lim and Nascimento) Engineering was hired by the City for construction
management services for the Chester Avenue Bridge Reconstruction project. LAN was selected after
being ranked the most qualified firm using the Consultant Request for Qualification and Selection Process.
Staff has been very pleased and impressed with their work on the Chester Avenue bridge project. They
have saved the City money primarily due to their thorough and detailed review of contract documents and
their timely responses and replies to contractor questions and concerns. The Allen Road Bridge and the
Chester Avenue Bridge have a number of similarities in that they are both cast-in-place reinforced
concrete bridges and both are over the Kern River. In addition, LAN has established relationships with the
regulatory agencies that issue permits for Kern River bridge construction projects. Based on this, and the
fact that the cost proposal is well within industry standards for similar types of projects, the City
recommends LAN to perform the preconstruction review and construction management services for the
Allen Road Bridge Construction Project.
Sufficient costs are budgeted to cover the cost of this agreement.

SUBJECT: Voice Communication System:
1. Agreement with PlanNet Consulting, LLC ($194,130) for consulting services for a voice
communication system to replace the current phone system.
2. Transfer $195,000 from a Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Project
(Corporation Yard Building C Addition) within the Capital Outlay Fund to fund this
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement and transfer.
BACKGROUND: The current voice communication system is 17 years old. The Ericsson PBX phone
system remains functional; however, support and parts are becoming difficult to obtain. Therefore~staff
recommends evaluating City voice communication needs and new technologies. To ensure needs are
properly matched to current technology, staff proposes to contract with a consultant experienced in voice
communications.
The project consists of research, review, investigation, analysis, planning, design, recommendation and
project management for a new voice communication system.
On December 1, 2006, City received four responses to the RFQ. On February 1, 2007, the Selection
Committee for this project conducted interviews of the three firms. The Selection Committee recommends
that the City award the design consultant agreement to Plan Net Consulting based on their combination of
qualifications and fee proposal. The fee for their services will be $194,130.
Funds are available from a budgeted capital improvement budget entitled "Corporation Yard Building C
Addition," which is being deferred.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Avetik and Nazeli Cholakian ($65,600) to purchase real property located at
northeast corner of Fairfax Road and Auburn Drive for the Fairfax Interchange Project at
State Route 178. (Ward 3)
Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director
DATE:
March 6, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The property being acquired is located adjacent to the Hillcrest Postal Facility and consists of
approximately 4,100 square feet of C-1 zoned land. The purchase price of $65,600.00 represents the
property's fair market value as established by an appraisal prepared by Karpe Fisher Merriman, Inc.
The City is purchasing this property in order to accomplish the Fairfax Interchange Project at State Route
178. The proposed Fairfax interchange on/off ramp will require the Postal Facility to close its current
entrance driveway on Auburn Street. To replace the entrance, the City has negotiated to buy enough
property from the adjacent owners (Cholakians) to construct a new entrance for the Postal Facility on
Auburn Oaks Drive.
With the interchange project, the Fairfax and Auburn intersection also needs to be improved and widened
to handle the future traffic flows. These improvements will require the property owners to dedicate
additional right-of-way needed to widen Fairfax Road. In addition, the property owners have submitted
plans to construct a commercial development on their property which is being affected by the
improvements required by the future interchange. The purchase agreement between the City and the
owners outlines the responsibilities of each party as to the required improvements.
The City will be constructing all the required off-site improvements due to the future interchange and the
entrance needs of the adjacent Postal Facility. These off-site improvements will allow the property owners
to develop the site for their planned commercial use.

SUBJECT: Agreement between the City and Agency with the University of La Verne in the amount of
$60,000 for Purchase of the Lease Option from the University to facilitate the Consolidation
of City and Agency Operations located at 1600 Truxtun Avenue, Borton- Petrini -Conron
Building and relocate the University to 24th and M Streets. (WARD 2)
FROM:
Donna L. Kunz, Economic Development Director
DATE:
March 2, 2007
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield purchased the Borton-Petrini Building in December, 2006 to address City-
wide space needs and facilitate the consolidation of City departments in the downtown area. The
Economic and Community Development Department has been leasing space at 900 Truxtun
Avenue for the past three years and recently relocated to the Borton-Petrini Building as part of the
consolidation plan. As a result of this move there will be significant rental savings from the
previous lease at 900 Truxtun, of which a significant portion was paid by the Redevelopment
Agency to support the redevelopment activities conducted by Economic and Community.
Development staff.
The University of La Verne has a leasehold interest in the Borton-Petrinni Building through July
2007 with an option to renew for an additional 3 years. Staff worked closely with the University to
consider another downtown site and found a suitable location at the Village Town Center, 24th
and M Streets, a project located within the Old Town Kern, Redevelopment Project Area. The
"Village" is a recent redevelopment project where the Redevelopment Agency worked with a local
developer to acquire an adjacent site required for the necessary parking for the mixed-use
development which resulted in the creation of 40,000 square feet of new commercial space. The
University intends to occupy the remaining 12,000 square feet available in the development and
will provide a full compliment of classes and services in the evening to approximately 400
students. As a major anchor tenant they provide stabilization for the project. This activity will also
provide positive evening use in the area. To encourage the University to consider this new
redevelopment location for their school, a relocation incentive was proposed by staff and
accepted by the University in the amount of $60,000. This incentive was structured as an early
lease buyout of their space in the Borton Petrini Building.

A three party agreement has been prepared between the Agency, City and the University. The
terms of the agreement provides that the payment to the University be made in 10 semi-annual
installments of $6,000 each upon occupancy for a five year lease between the University and the
property owner of 24th & M Street. The acquisition of this right and interest of the University's
lease in the Borton Petrini Building will also benefit the Agency through the consolidation of its
services and assist the Agency in streamlining its redevelopment operations.
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency approved this agreement at their March 12, 2007
meeting.

SUBJECT: Design Consultant Agreement with DMJM Harris ($6,491,588.00) for Phase 2 of the
Westside Parkway Project (Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Preparation of Plans,
Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) for Phase 2 of the Westside Parkway Project. Phase 1 of the Project
includes the construction of Mohawk Street from Rosedale Highway to Truxtun Avenue and was awarded
to Dokken Engineering last year. Phase 2 includes the design of the remainder of the Westside Parkway
project. Five firms responded to this RFQ:
PBS&J (Orange, California)
DMJM Harris (Orange, California)
Parsons Brinckerhoff (Los Angeles, California)
T.Y. Lin International (San Ramon, California)
Washington Group (Irvine, California)
Based on a review of their qualification submittals, the selection committee invited four of the firms listed
above to interview with the committee. Interviews were held on June 28 and June 29, 2006. Based on
the qualification submittals and interviews, the Selection Committee concluded that DMJM Harris was the
most qualified firm to provide design services for Phase 2 of the Westside Parkway project. In accordance
with federal procurement procedures for these types of services, after DMJM Harris was selected as the
most qualified firm, their cost for providing these services was then negotiated between them and the City.
The funding secured to date will allow a majority of the project to be designed. City staff is pursuing
additional funding through KernCOG to complete the design work, and a supplemental agreement or an
amendment to this agreement will be required at a later date once that funding is secured. This
agreement and DMJM Harris' internal accounting procedures have been reviewed by Caltrans Division of
Audits and Investigations. This agreement requires that DMJM Harris deliver the completed plans by the
fall of 2008.

SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Economic Incentives for Participation in the City's Voluntary
Curbside Recycling Program. (All Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
The Budget and Finance Committee recommends adoption of the Resolution
and implementation of the recommendations.
BACKGROUND: Following implementation of the City's voluntary curbside recycling program in July of
2003, approximately 4% of the City's 85,000 single family homes subscribe, paying a voluntary fee of
$6.67 per month for a blue recycling cart. Numerous promotional efforts have been made to increase
participation. Public surveys and other contacts indicated that the fee is a deterrent. At the urging of
many residents, and in response to a recommendation by the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee, th~
issue was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee to explore ways to create incentives.
Bakersfield has a successful citywide program for refuse and greenwaste recycling carts. The basic level
of service includes one tan refuse cart and one greenwaste cart for a monthly fee of $14.09. Extra tan
refuse carts are available for a monthly fee of $4.53 each. This is a subsidized fee, with the actual City
cost being $7.15 per month. The extra carts have been provided to meet large households' needs, prior to
the blue cart program. Also, free extra tan refuse carts were issued to a small number of homes in lieu of
greenwaste carts, under the assumption that gardeners would take the greenwaste.
On February 26, 2007 the Budget and Finance Committee made the following three recommendations to
the City Council, in an effort to increase participation in the curbside recycling program:
Recommendation 1: Eliminate the outdated subsidy for extra tan refuse carts, and move that subsidy to
the blue cart recycling program to reduce the blue cart service rate from $6.67 to $4.00 per month, and to
increase the extra tan refuse cart rate from $4.53 to $7.15 per month. The 3,375 households which
currently pay for extra tan refuse carts will be offered a blue cart in exchange for their extra tan cart at the
lower fee.
Recommendation 2: Cease the practice of issuing free extra tan refuse carts in lieu of a green cart.
Currently, 4,937 homes with gardeners have free extra tan refuse carts in lieu of their former green carts.
No new extra tan carts will be issued. Those who currently have this option will be informed about the
need to recycle using either the blue cart program or the free community drop off recycling centers.
March 8, 2007, 12:10PM
G:\GROUPDA TlADMINRPT\2007\03-14\Curbside Recycling Incentive Plan.doc
ADMINISTRA liVE REPORT
Recommendation 3: Explore additional ways to reduce the cost of the blue cart recycling program. Staff
will issue a request for proposals (RFP) to identify organizations to operate curbside recycling processing
equipment to be purchased utilizing the City's new one-time $1.5 million state beverage container deposit
grant. This has the potential to offset recycling program costs for the City. Staff will report back to the
Budget and Finance Committee in late spring 2007.
The recommendations will be effective July 1, 2007. The extra tan refuse cart fee will be increased from
$4.53 to $7.15 per month for any new account or annual renewal, to give existing users the opportunity to
switch to the lower cost blue cart before being charged the new fee. The blue cart recycling fee will be
reduced from $6.67 to $4.00 per month for all accounts effective July 1, to provide an incentive for
recycling.
