Amendment No. 1 to Resolution No. 035-10 dispending with bidding procedures due to emergency sewer repairs near the intersection of 32nd Street and H Street, increasing the not to exceed amount from $200,000 to $310,000. 2. Appropriate $110,000 Sewer Enterprise Fund Balance (Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2) to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget to fund said emergency repairs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to resolution and appropriation. BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2010, Council approved Resolution No. 035-10, dispensing with bidding procedures in order to expedite the repair of a sewer line that is failing within the railroad right-of-way north of the intersection of 32nd Street and H Street. At that time City staff had a preliminary design for the new sewer alignment and site investigations concluded that all the work to be performed could be done without entering railroad right of way. After the contractor began construction, staff learned that there were fiber optic lines that were installed within railroad right of way that paralleled the tracks. When the contractor potholed the fiber optic lines, staff determined that the new sewer had to be installed four feet deeper than originally planned to comply with coverage requirements of the fiber optic line owners. This modification to deepen the sewer line made construction activities more difficult and thus more expensive. Current estimates for this project, including construction, permits with the Union Pacific Railroad, and City staff labor, indicate a final project cost of about $310,000. Because of the additional construction necessary to avoid conflicting with the fiber optic lines, staff recommends approval of the amendment to Resolution No. 035-10 and the appropriation of the additional $110,000 to cover project costs. jim CityProject #EOK210 gAgroupdat\adminrpt\2010104-21 \sewer rehab_035-10.doc A J, S~ ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 1 MEETING DATE: April 21, 2010 AGENDA SECTION: Consent Agenda ITEM: 6, ; .

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the bid and approval of the transfer of additional funds necessary to furnish and install an electrical switchboard. BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over six hundred (600) bidders to furnish and install an electrical switchboard. Seven (7) bids were received in response to the solicitation. Upon City staff review, it was determined the lowest bid from McKoy Electric Company is not acceptable due to the bidders failure to properly disclose his involvement related to disputes recorded with the Contractors State License Board, including license suspension and twelve separate Business and Professional Code violations for an electrical company where Mr. McKay is listed as General Partner. Additionally, the bidder failed to disclose a debarment from the Los Angeles Community Colleges District related to the violation of basic safety rules. Staff is therefore recommending that we award the bid and contract with the second lowest bidder for this project. This project will replace the deteriorating 1600 amp electrical breaker that powers the lighting panels at the Convention Center.

(All Wards) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Consolidated Plan 2015, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 2015, FY 2010/11 Action Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan and recommends authorization for the City Manager to execute all necessary documents for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as required to continue receiving a federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant Funds annually for the next five fiscal years. BACKGROUND: Every five years the City of Bakersfield is required by HUD to develop a new Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice 2015, and a Citizen Participation Plan. These plans will expire on June 30, 2010. To continue receiving more than $5 million of entitlement funds from HUD for housing and community development projects and programs, these new documents will need to be adopted and submitted to HUD by May 14, 2010. The FY 2010/11 Action Plan will also be submitted to HUD with these documents. The ConPlan is a long-range plan required by HUD that outlines how the City intends to meet identified local housing and community development (HCD) needs over the next five year period. Main components of the ConPlan include the following: a housing and community economic development needs assessment; a housing market analysis; housing and supportive services for homelessness; strategies that reflects general goals (priorities) and performance outcome measurements for allocating HUD funds; a list of long-term strategies and goals to address priority needs with specific objectives (including proposed accomplishments); an annual action plan (one year funding) describing how federal and local resources will be used to address the needs and objectives identified in the ConPlan, and a Citizen Participation Plan. Potential applicants for HUD funding, such as non-profit agencies, affordable housing developers, and the local public housing authority, cannot obtain HUD financing without a consistency certification from the City that identifies their application requests are consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's ConPlan. The Citizen Participation Plan contains explanations of how the City will work with organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sectors to help carry out those strategies S:Wdmins\City Council\City Council Admins 2010\Conplan 2015 and action plan.docx 4/12/2010 2:08 PM ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2 As required by HUD in preparing the ConPlan, the City solicited input and comments from residents and community stakeholders (particularly from the low-income community) for needs such as affordable housing, creation of jobs, public facilities and services, and adequate infrastructure. Part of this public outreach included a community opinion survey which allowed residents to express their thoughts about housing, economic development, infrastructure and public facilities and service needs within their community. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice identifies impediments to fair and equal housing opportunities. The analysis provides and overview of the laws, regulations, conditions or other possible obstacles that may affect access to housing and other services in Bakersfield. Main components of the analysis include the following: community profile, public polices, fair housing practices, impediments and actions to implement fair housing. Action Plan - FY 2010/11 The proposed FY 2010/11 Action Plan was reviewed at the March 3, 2010 Budget and Finance Committee meeting.

In preparing the Final Map for Tract 6463, which was recorded on September 6, 2006, verbiage was not included to abandon the dedication of Newquist Drive and North Gate Drive previously dedicated for Tract 4744. It would have been a simple matter to list as an abandonment note on the Final Map for Tract 6463. Unfortunately this did not occur and now we must go through the formal abandonment process, The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Development Services, and Economic Development Departments have been notified of the request and no objections have been received as of the date of this report, Public Works notes that there are City sewer and storm drain facilities in this area. The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no objection as of the date of this report. Preliminary notices were also mailed to all adjacent property owners within a 300 foot radius of the proposed abandonment area. Public Works has received no objections from these owners as of the date of this report. The proposed abandonment was approved by the Planning Department on February 24, 2010 per local ordinance and was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to Government Code 65402. It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule), because there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.

Rojas, Public Works Director DEPARTMENT HEAD DATE: March 23, 2010 CITY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER APPROVED SUBJECT: Hearing to consider a resolution establishing industrial and commercial sewer service user surcharges for Fiscal Year 2010-11 (Wards 1-7). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. BACKGROUND: A surcharge is used to account for waste flow and strength over the established minimum limits. This method allows for a more equitable manner to allocate the fees when there is a wide distribution in the actual flow and strength of the waste of the different individual industrial and commercial users. Sewer user charges and fees are adopted annually pursuant to Section 14.12.380 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code to cover the cost of operation and maintenance for the sewer treatment plants and for the existing sewer collection system. Commercial and industrial users represent manufacturing and most business entities. An annual flat rate sewer fee (reviewed annually) is collected with property taxes by the Kern County Tax Collector pursuant to the Bakersfield Municipal Code. In addition, a monthly surcharge is assessed if flow and sewer strength for commercial/industrial sewer users exceed the baseline amount. The adjustments to the surcharge schedule are calculated based on annual operating costs, capital improvement costs related to sewer/storm water collection systems and wastewater treatment plants, and daily design capacity of the system. City staff is recommending a change in the surcharge rates for Fiscal Year 2010-11 according to the following schedule. Surcharae Schedule - Commercial and Industrial This schedule shall apply to the commercial and industrial users with flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS) greater than the flat rate limits. The surcharge for the excesses shall be as follows: Flow Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Total Suspended Solids (TSS) $1,465.84/million gallons (3.5% increase) $102.35/1000 pound (13.9% decrease) $112.22/1000 pound (17.2% increase) The unit costs shown above include both treatment costs and debt service costs. Debt service cost is divided by remaining treatment capacity and remaining treatment capacity has increased due to the Plant 3 expansion project. As a result of this, the cost for BOD has actually decreased. The actual effect of these three unit cost changes is shown in the table below. G:\GROUPDATWDMINRPT\2010\04-21 Wdmin Rpt 2010 Industrial Commercial Users.doc ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2 Three examples below illustrate the impact on industrial and commercial users. TYPE OF INDUSTRY I FISCAL YEAR 09-10 CHARGE I FISCAL YEAR 10-11 CHARGE TYPICAL BANK 1 $56.70 per month 1 $58.44 per month (3.1 % increase) RESTAURANT 1 $70.17 per month $69.39 per month (1.1% decrease) VERY LARGE INDUSTRIAL $6,116.37 per month $6,207.77 per month (1.5% increase) USER Industrial and commercial surcharges are based upon state standards or actual sampling data. Staff computes flow, BOD, and TSS usage separately and then applies the appropriate rate for their usage. The average increase for industrial and commercial surcharge accounts is 2.2%. The March 19, 2010 General Information Packet included a memorandum from the Public Works Director regarding the FY 2010/11 sewer user rates for residential customers. In this memo, staff recommends adjusting the annual residential user rate for a single family dwelling from $195 to $200. This translates to a 2.6% increase or a monthly increase of $0.42. The residential sewer user fee is subject to Proposition 218 noticing requirements. Property owners will receive these notices in early April 2010. The hearing for this proposed increase is scheduled for the June 9, 2010 City Council meeting.
