homeland security support and assistance. In order for funds to be released to the City, an
Authorized Agent must be appointed to execute any actions necessary. The Deputy Fire Chief

Aareements
Item 8n. South Mill Creek Easement Purchase. This item includes the repurchase of a 1.95 acre
linear strip of land located east of P/Q streets and south of the B.N.S.F. railroad tracks. This linear
strip was originally purchased by the City to create an easement for right-of-way for the future
Centennial Freeway by the Thomas Roads Improvement Program. Given the evaluation of the
various build alternatives being studied, this route Is an extremely costly and problematic option.
The repurchase of this area is critical to the development of the Chelsea Housing Project and
the proposed South Mill Creek Commercial Project.
Item 8o. Amendment to an Aareement with AECOM Technical Services Inc for the Westside
Parkway Project Enaineerin Design Services in the amount of $998,000 not to exceed
$15,239,795. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. Is currently under contract to provide Engineering
Design Services for the Westside Parkway Project from Mohawk Street to the tie-in at Heath
Road/Stockdale Highway. This Amendment covers several aspects that were unknown when
the original scope of work was developed for AECOM. This includes engineering work related
to unanticipated design items that have occurred in both Phases 2 & b; design work related to
increased wall heights and design work related to the relocation of various facilities for Big West
Refinery and the Kern County Water Agency (which were originally anticipated to be prepared
by both entities and reimbursed by the City). It should be noted that in order to take
advantage of a favorable bidding climate and to encumber all available construction dollars
1
the State provided to the City for this project, AECOM was asked to quickly develop a set of
biddable construction documents. While there is a need for additional engineering work over
what was originally contemplated, this process has resulted in the City being able to award a
construction contract for the Westside Parkway from Mohawk Street west all the way to Allen
Road.
Bids
Items 8s. - 8w. Purchase of Automotive Eauipment These items include the replacement
purchase of various City vehicles including seven (7) police sedans; three (3) super duty cab
and chassis for the Animal Control Unit, seven (7) three axel cab and chassis for the Solid Waste
Division; one (1) water truck for the Streets Division; and two (2) brush trucks for Recreation and
Parks. Funds for these purchases are available In the equipment replacement fund.

Construction, in an amount not to exceed $2,209,172. On July 15, 2010 invitations to bid for the
Annual Contract for concrete construction were sent to over five hundred (500) suppliers. Three
(3) bids were received in response to this solicitation, with Jim Alfter Cement Contractor being
the lowest. A written bid protest was received regarding this contract, which prompted a
thorough review by the Finance Department. After this review, no irregularities were found, and
staff has determined that the low bid submitted by Jim Alffer Cement Contractor Is acceptable
and recommends award of the contract.
Item 8z. Video Surveillance Prolect. This project Is designed to enhance public safety by
implementing a video surveillance system in 15 strategic locations within the core downtown
area (east and west between Union Avenue and H Street, north and south between 24m Street
and California Avenue). The main monitoring and control for the proposed video system will be
located at the Police Department Headquarters building. This system will provide real time
intelligence, allowing the BPD to further prevent or interrupt criminal activity. The City issued a
Request for Proposals on June 28, 2010 to potential vendors. Two (2) vendors attended the
walk-through of the project and only one (1) bid was received. This Item includes acceptance
of the bid from Leverage Information Systems, Inc. to Install and maintain the video and
surveillance equipment and infrastructure needed to complete the project In the amount of
$309,908.34. Funding for this project is provided through a combination of several grants and
asset forfeiture funds.

SUBJECT: Adoption of ordinance and amending the Official Zoning Maps in le 17 of
the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zone district f om A
(Agriculture) to R-1 (One Family Dwelling), R-2 (Limited Multiple Family
Dwelling), R-3 (Multiple Family Dwelling), C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), C-2
(Regional Commercial), C-O/PCD (Administrative and Professional
Office/Planned Commercial Development), OS (Open Space), and DI (Drilling
Island) on approximately 564± acres, generally located south of Stockdale
Highway, north of the Cross Valley Canal, west of the City limits at Claudia
Autumn Drive, and east of the future extension of Nord Avenue. (ZC 09-0263 -
McIntosh & Associates representing Castle & Cooke, California, Inc.) (Ward 4,
upon annexation).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on June 30, 2010.
The project would allow for approximately 3,583 residential dwelling units on approximately
370.85 acres and a total of 941,700 square feet of general commercial and business park
uses on approximately 69.02 acres. Approximately 665,200 square feet of the business park Is
proposed for the OC (Office Commercial) land use designation on 43.63 acres. The
remaining 25.39 acres would consist of 276,500 square feet of general commercial uses.
Approximately 20 acres of land will be reserved for OS (Open Space).
The Project proposes a zone change from A (Exclusive Agriculture) to R-1 (One Family
Dwelling), R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling; 1 unit/2,500 sq. ff.), R-3 (Limited Multiple
Family Dwelling; 1 unit/1,250 sq. ff.), C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), C-2 (Regional
Commercial), C-O/PCD (Administrative and Professional Office/Planned Commercial
Development), and DI (Drilling Island) zones.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements have been followed by staff
and the Planning Commission for the project. Staff conducted an initial study and it was
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
determined that the project could have a significant environmental effect. Therefore, in
accordance with CEQA, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared. The Planning
Commission and staff conducted several hearings on the EIR including a public scoping
meeting on August 13, 2009, an adequacy hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIR on
December 17, 2009, and a hearing on the Final EIR on March 18, 2010 and April 1, 2010. The
Final EIR was recommended for certification by the Planning Commission on April 1, 2010.
Despite compliance with local ordinances, state laws, mitigation measures Incorporated Into
the project as conditions of approval, and construction in accordance with the uniform
building codes, cumulative traffic/circulation and noise Impacts would remain significant.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend certification of the Final EIR and
accompanying mitigation monitoring and reporting program, the adoption of CEQA
findings, and a statement of overriding considerations pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15091 and 15093.
Mitigation measures recommended as part of project approval address land use and
relevant planning; agriculture; public health and safety; aesthetics, light and glare; traffic
and circulation; noise; air quality; biological resources; cultural resources; public services and
utilities; geologic and seismic hazards; hydrology and water quality; and mineral resources.
The Impacts to urban decay were found to be less than significant and did not require
mitigation measures. The Final EIR and accompanying mitigation monitoring and reporting
program and the adoption of CEQA findings and a statement of overriding considerations
as required pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093 was certified by
City Council on June 30, 2010. The applicant agreed to all conditions and mitigation for the
project.

SUBJECT: Adoption of an ordinance adding Section 17.04.358 and amending Ci//ai er 17.61
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code related to water conservation and a iciency
requirements to landscape standards. (Ail Wards)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on July 21, 2010.
The proposed amendments Incorporate water conservation measures pertaining to plant
selection and Irrigation systems for compliance with Assembly Bill No. 1881, Water Conservation.
On September 10, 2009, the State of California approved, updates to the Government Code
related to the Water Code that requires local agencies (including charter cities) to adopt and
implement water efficient landscape regulations. AB 1881 required that by January 1, 2010,
local agencies must either:
1. Adopt the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance Included In AB 1881; or
2. Adopt a different ordinance that is at least as effective in conserving water as the
Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance; or
3. If a local agency takes no action, the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance
will go Into effect as If it were adopted by the local agency.
City staff determined that many existing City ordinances and policies are as effective as
implementing the State's model ordinance. However, it was determined that the Zoning
Ordinance needed to be amended to Incorporate additional water conservation components
to be consistent with the new State law. The proposed amendments to BMC 17.61 - Landscape
Standards, and an addition of a definition to BMC 17.04 - Definitions, address water
conservation for new landscaping for projects requiring site plan review, which Includes all
projects except single-family residential development.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
1
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 18, 2010 and March 18, 2010. At
the March 18, 2010 meeting, there were two landscape professionals who spoke in opposition to
the proposed amendments. As a result, the Planning Commission referred the proposed
amendments to an ad-hoc committee for further discussion between committee members,
landscape professionals, Home Builders Association (HBA), the public and City staff. The ad-hoc
committee met on March 31, 2010 and April 28, 2010, and after extensive discussion, brought
back modifications for consideration by the Planning Commission. No one spoke in opposition
to the amendments at the June 3, 2010 meeting, and the Planning Commission recommended
the proposed amendments be adopted by the City Council. A Notice of Exemption in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15307 has been prepared.
A summary of the proposed amendments are as follows;
• 17.04.358 (Definitions) - Adds the definition of "hydrozone", which is a term used to
determine irrigation areas.
• 17.61.010 (Generally) - Updates the purpose of the Landscape Standards to Include
water efficiency language.
17.61.030 (Minimum Landscape Standards) - Updates the landscape standards to Include
components related to efficient water use. It does not restrict individual plant selection
to a specific water use, but instead allows the project to calculate a "Total Landscape
Area Water Use." Plant selection is generally based on our area's climate zone, and
water conservation would be equivalent to a "moderate" water use consistent with the
new law.
• 17.61.040 (Landscape Maintenance) - Added maintenance requirement to maintain
water efficiency of the landscaping such as soil amendments and mulch. Added
requirement to maintain plants and Irrigation system approved by the City.
• 17.61.060 (Landscape Plan Requirements) - Requires Inclusion of Information on Irrigation
equipment and the hydrozones that the equipment services. Requires the calculation of
the "Total Landscape Area Water Use" based on plant type. Also requires the property
owner to verify Installation and proper operation of the irrigation system as described in
their approved plan.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The owners of the above-mentioned properties failed to commence the required work as
ordered by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter
8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed above were abated
under the direction of the Chief Code Enforcement Officer. The costs incurred by the City
can be assessed against the property as provided for in Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code. Property owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the
hearing on this matter before the City Manager designee and to object to the correctness of
the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee
has approved the assessments associated with the above mentioned properties.
The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs
incurred by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such
costs be made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached
resolution.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that Bioxide, a proprietary chemical focontrol and reduction of sulfide gas levels, cannot be reasonthrough the usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to
dispense with bidding thereof for a period of one (1) year, not to exceed the
budgeted amount of $800,000. (City Wide)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Some areas of Southwest, Northwest and Northeast Bakersfield experience
continuing odor problems from the Sewer Trunk Line thus creating a nuisance to residents and
businesses. Nuisance odors are a violation of the San Joaquin Unified Air Pollution Control
District (District) policies and can be punishable by a fine. The City has previously received a
warning from the District to alleviate the nuisance odors and reduce the high levels of sulfide
gas found in the sewer system, or face a fine by the District. Bioxide has proven itself to be
compatible with the City Wastewater secondary treatment process and is environmentally
sound.
Due to the proprietary nature of Bioxide, and the need to continually inject Bioxide to control
odors in the Sewer Trunk Lines, staff is recommending adoption of the Resolution to dispense
with bidding for Bioxide and authorizing the purchase of Bioxide on a continuing basis in
amounts to meet the City's requirements, not to exceed the budgeted amount of $800,000. If
at any time it is determined that other products or more effective products are available, staff
will re-evaluate the sole source designation of Bioxide and will seek competitive pricing to
insure the best interests of the City are met.

SUBJECT: Bomb Squad Equipment
1. Appropriate $74,166.00 State Grant Revenues (FY2008 State Homeland Security
Grant Program) to the General Fund Police Operating Budget, to fund the
procurement of a Hybrid C2456-8440 Radio system and power system upgrade for
the Police Department's Remotec F6A Bomb Robot.
2. Approve sole-source resolution determining that a compatible radio system and
power system upgrade for the Bakersfield Police Department's Remotec F6A bomb
robot cannot be reasonably obtained through the usual bidding procedures and
authorizing the finance director to dispense with bidding therefore and purchase
one radio system and power system upgrade from Remotec, inc., not to exceed
$74,200.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed appropriation and sole-source
resolution.
BACKGROUND: The County of Kern is the designated sub-grantee for Homeland Security grants
on behalf of the Kern Operational Area. On 12/17/08, the City and County established a
Memorandum of Understanding (Agt# 08-222), and on 02/17/10 the City and County amended
said agreement (Agt #08-222(1) defining the grant projects and giving the City the authority to
purchase designated equipment and submit for reimbursement from the FY2008 State Homeland
Security Grant Program (SHSGP).
1. Attachment B from Agt #08-222(1) approves the allocation of $74,166.00 to the Bakersfield
Police Department, under the Kern Op Area Law Enforcement Bomb Squad IED Response
Project, to procure the Hybrid C2456-8440 Radio system and power system upgrade for
the Police Department's Remotec F6A robot. This piece of equipment will allow Bomb
Squad Technicians to operate the bomb robot without limitations due to distance,
weather, or barriers. This will enhance the overall safety to the responding Bomb
Technician's along with other first responders and the general public.

2. The radio system must be completely compatible with the Remotec F6A robot currently in
the Bomb Squad inventory. The control panel and interactive operational components
must be compatible with the Bomb Squad response vehicle. Without these two
requirements the platform will not operate in a safe and consistent manner, thus creating
additional danger to the Bomb Technician's response and the general public.
The search for a piece of equipment which satisfied the requirements led to the
manufacturer of the robot itself (Remotec, Inc.). The robotic platforms in the bomb
disposal field are proprietary and therefore items used to enhance the response of the
robot to emergency calls that involve the actual operation of the robot are only available
from the specific manufacturer. This was determined through in depth research of other
Police Departments that employ the same robotic platform, through vendor shows at the
International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators Training Conference, and
through interaction with the F.B. I., the US Army and the Hazardous Devices School in
Huntsville, Alabama.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that the Deputy Fire Chief assigned to Special Services or the
City Manager are appointed as agents authorized to execute any actions necessary for the
purpose of obtaining grants from the United States Department of Homeland Security Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI),
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides financial assistance to States
and Urban Areas through the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). The UASI program
directly supports the National Priority on expanding regional collaboration in the National
Preparedness Guidelines and is Intended to assist participating jurisdictions in developing
integrated regional systems for prevention, protection, response, and recovery. Since 2003 the
UASI program continues this mission by providing financial assistance to address the unique multi-
discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-
density Urban Areas, and to assist them in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect
against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.
In December 2009 the United States Department of Homeland Security/FEMA designated the
Bakersfield Metropolitan Statistical Area as an Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). This Important
designation allowed access to federal homeland security support and assistance Including
specialized training, technical support, and financial assistance. The UASI designation also
brought with it several mandates required to be delivered in a relatively short period of time for
the FY10 UASI grant application.
In order for funds to be released to the City of Bakersfield, an Authorized Agent must be
appointed to execute any actions necessary for the purpose of obtaining grant funds from the
United States Department of Homeland Security UASI. The Deputy Fire Chief assigned to Special
Services or the City Manager shall be designated as the Authorized Agent.

SUBJECT: League of California Cities Annual Conference - City Positions C nference
Resolutions.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt staff-recommended positions on League Resolutions and forward
said positions to the League of California Cities.
BACKGROUND: The League of California Cities Annual Conference (Conference) is being held
September 15-17 at the San Diego Convention Center. During the Conference, there is an
annual business meeting which includes an opportunity for member cities to vote on several
proposed resolutions. The annual business meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 171h at
3:00p. m.
In the past the Legislative and Litigation Committee has made a recommendation on the
appointment of a Councilmember to serve as a voting delegate at the Conference. In addition,
the Legislative and Litigation Committee has also reviewed and taken a position, where
appropriate, on each resolution to be considered. Last year due to timing issues, the Chair of the
Legislative and Litigation Committee asked the City Manager and City Attorney to review the
proposed League Resolutions and forward their recommendations to the Council for
consideration.
This year, Councilmember Sullivan, who has served as a voting delegate on behalf of the City in
the post, will be attending the Conference, however, she will be unable to stay for the business
meeting. Due to budget constraints, staff's recommendation is not to send a staff representative
to attend the Conference, however, if the Council deems it necessary for a representative from
the City to cast a vote on the resolutions discussed below, an alternate voting delegate from the
City Manager's Office can be sent to accomplish this. Furthermore, if the Council feels that the
resolution recommendations provided below need to be discussed in greater detail, they can be
sent to the Legislative and Litigation Committee, which is tentatively scheduled to meet on
August 23rd, for further review. Consistent with last year's process, the City Manager and City
Attorney are providing the following recommendations:
Resolution 1: Relating to League Bylaws Amendments - Expansion of the League Board of
Directors (SUPPORT).
August 5, 2010, 1:54PM
S:\Steve TegliaTeague of Cal Cities\Council Admin 2010 annual conference resos..docx
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Resolution 2: National Let's Move Campaign - Healthy lifestyles education program to fight
obesity promoted by the First Lady (SUPPORT).
Resolution 3: AB 32 and SB 375 - Opposition to the Board of Directors decision to defer action
on AB 32 and SB 375 and to adopt the board-appointed Task Force
recommendations. The League Board of Directors rejected the specific
recommendations of the Board appointed Task Force by deferring action on the
issue. The Task Force had recommended that the League Board request specific
actions by the Governor and the California Air Resources Board to delay certain
deadlines and take other actions with respect to AB 32 and SB 375 (REMAIN
NEUTRAL).
Resolution 4: Responsible Banking - Annual "report card" for financial institutions' investment
and lending activity within a city. This is based on a "Responsible Banking
Initiative" recently passed by the Los Angeles City Council which requires financial
institutions with which the City contracts with to provide an annual "report card"
detailing investment and lending activity within the City of Los Angeles (REMAIN
NEUTRAL).
Resolution 5: State Unfunded Mandates - Work to suspend, eliminate, or otherwise modify the
negative impacts of state mandates on local agencies (SUPPORT).
Resolution 6: Enhancing Public Safety While Driving a Motor Vehicle - Promote safe driving
across California and educate the general public about the dangers of texting
while driving (SUPPORT).
Unless directed otherwise, the City Manager will forward these recommendations to the League
of California Cities.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. for $85,000 of Community
Development Block Grant funds for operational expenses at 530 4th Street.
(Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. (BSC) has provided services to the seniors of Bakersfield for
well more then 26 years. Its mission is to encourage older adults to participate in a variety of
volunteer activities and programs so they remain an integral part of the community. In addition,
BSC continues to provide many services through the center to ensure the health and welfare of
the seniors.
The City has provided Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to BSC since 2002
due to a continued reduction in donations to the center's operations.
In the Fiscal Year 2010/11 Action Plan process, CDBG funding for BSC was budgeted in the
amount of $85,000. The allowable expenses include employee salaries and benefits,
professional fees, facility operational costs such as office supplies, utilities, maintenance, and

SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement ($250,000) with the State of California ep rtment of
Transportation (Caltrans) for contribution towards preconstruction work needed for
proposed improvements on State Route 99. (Wards 3 and 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of June 9, 2010 the City Council approved making
a commitment of $250,000 towards preconstruction work (environmental, preliminary design, and
final design) needed for proposed improvements on State Route 99 (SR99). The proposed
improvements include widening of SR99, from State Route 119 to Ming Avenue, and from State
Route 204 to Olive Drive. This preconstruction work is necessary to allow these projects to better
compete for $63 million of SR99 Bond Program savings that have been recently realized by
Caltrans due to favorable bids they have received on other SR99 Bond Program projects. These
SR99 Bond Program savings may be appropriated by the State to additional projects that will
widen SR99. KernCOG and the County of Kern are also contributing funds towards this
preconstruction work ($2.5 million and $250,000, respectively).
Staff recommends approval of the agreement. Funds for this agreement were previously
appropriated by the City Council at the June 9, 2010 City Council meeting. The funding source
for this agreement is traffic impact fees. There is no General Fund impact associated with this
agreement.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Castle & Cooke California, Inc. to purchase real proper tcated at
11208 Strathaven Street for $27,000 and to lease adjacent real property for $800 a
month to facilitate construction of a sewer lift station for the Westside Parkway (TRIP).
(Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City is acquiring approximately 13,402 square feet of vacant residential land at 11208
Strathaven Street for a sewer lift station for the Westside Parkway. The City is also leasing
approximately 12,000 square feet of adjacent land to facilitate the construction of the lift station
for $800 a month. The purchase price of $27,000 represents the property's fair market value as
determined by an appraisal prepared by Michael Burger & Associates, an independent
appraisal firm. The term of the lease will be approximately twenty-four months which is the
estimated time needed to construct the sewer lift station.
The Planning Department completed a review and found this acquisition consistent with the
Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.

SUBJECT: South Mill Creek Easement Purchase:
1) Loan Reimbursement Agreement with the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
for $950,000 for the sale of a City owned 1,95 linear acre easement located to the
east of P/9 Streets and south of the B.N.S.F. railroad tracks for the South Mill Creek
Project.
2) Appropriate $950,000 Redevelopment Loan proceeds from the City's Equipment
Fund for the Agency reimbursement to the City's Transportation Development Fund
regarding the removal of freeway easement on the Chelsea Housing Project
properties, (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
In March of 2007, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency sold to the City of Bakersfield a 1.95
acre linear strip of land located east of P/9 streets and south of the B.N.S.F. railroad tracks. This
linear strip of land was purchased by the City in order to create an easement for right-of-way for
the future Centennial Freeway. Currently, there are four build alternatives being studied for the
Centennial Freeway by the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) with this site being
Alternative "D." The City of Bakersfield has invested millions of dollars in recent public
recreational facilities including the McMurtry Aquatics Center, the Ice Sports Center and the
Rabobank Arena, combined by other significant private and pubic investment that includes, the
County Administrative offices and the Bakersfield High School campus, making Alternative "D"
an extremely problematic and costly choice to the Centennial Freeway. For these reasons the
City of Bakersfield intends to remove the existing freeway easement reservation on the 1.95 acre
linear strip.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency has determined a need to repurchase this 1,95 acre
linear strip for the Chelsea Housing Project and the proposed South Mill Creek Commercial
Project, Chelsea has been awarded its State of California TCAC and must begin construction of
the project within 150 days. The purchase of this easement is critical to Chelsea receiving their
construction financing for the project,
The original funds in the amount of $1,000,000 to purchase the land by the City of Bakersfield
came from the Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) Transportation Development Local
Match fund. The purchase price of $950,000 represents the fair market value paid by the City of
Bakersfield to the Redevelopment Agency in March of 2007 and adjusted for a $50,000 payment
made to the City by the Agency. The Redevelopment Agency currently does not have sufficient
resources to purchase the easement and is requesting a loan from the City's Equipment fund in
order to reimburse the City's Transportation Development Fund in the amount of $950,000. The
actual vacation of the easement east of the canal for the Chelsea project will be heard and
considered by City Council during tonight's meeting. The vacation remaining of the commercial
property easement west of the canal will be heard at a City Council meeting at a later date.
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency will consider approval of this agreement at their August
18, 2010 meeting.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment No. 3 to Agreement 07-082 with AECO T CHNICAL
SERVICES, INC. for Engineering Design Services for the Westside Park ay Project
(additional $998,000.00 for a not to exceed amount of $15,239,795.00). (TRIP)
(Wards 2, 4 and 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of amendment to agreement.
BACKGROUND: AECOM Technical Services, INC (formerly AECOM USA, Inc.) is currently under
contract to provide Engineering Design Services for the Westside Parkway project from Mohawk
Street to the tie-in at Heath Road/Stockdale Highway.
When the scope of work for AECOM was originally developed, the City had anticipated that the
Big West Refinery and the Kern County Water Agency (KCWA) were going to prepare their own
designs and construction plans for relocations of their facilities required as a result of the project.
The City intended to reimburse these entities for any costs they incurred due to this work.
However, both have requested that the City/City consultants complete this engineering work.
The City has incorporated this work into this Amendment.
Also, the initial construction plans included over 4 miles of 12 to 14-foot high concrete block
sound walls whose design was based on the noise analysis/study performed for the Westside
Parkway environmental document. Recently, additional noise analysis was completed for this
area as part of the Centennial Corridor project. This analysis indicated these Westside Parkway
walls should be 2 to 4 feet higher to mitigate for the noise effects resulting from the potential
future Centennial Corridor project. Council previously approved the contractor change order to
raise these wall heights, but this Amendment includes the engineering work necessary to revise
the plans for these walls.
Unanticipated design items have arisen in both the Phase 2 portion of the project (Mohawk
Street to Allen Road) currently under construction, as well as the Phase 6 portion of the project
(Allen to Heath/Stockdale) which has not yet been bid. While these items will result in
improvements to the project and in some cases construction cost savings, they involve additional
engineering evaluation and redesign/revision of some elements such as traffic handling (detour
plans), drainage systems, and freeway mainline tie-ins; work not contemplated in the original
engineering scope for this Agreement and included in this Amendment.

G:\GR0UPDAT\ADMINRPT\2010\08-11\AECOM Amendment 3 rev- Admin.doc T8K139
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Finally, as has been discussed previously, due to the extremely favorable bidding climate and the
desire to encumber all available construction dollars the State provided to the City for this
project, AECOM was asked to quickly develop a set of biddable construction documents. These
documents included construction plans, project specifications, and bid item quantities broken up
into a number of separate bidding packages. While this arrangement required additional
engineering work over that originally contemplated, it resulted in the City being able to award a
construction contract for the Westside Parkway from Mohawk Street west all the way to Allen
Road, a construction project much bigger than had been originally thought possible.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 07-082. A combination of
previously budgeted State and local funding will be used for this Amendment.
Due to the voluminous nature of the agreement exhibits, they are on file in the City Clerk's Office for review.

SUBJECT: Amendment to On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying Agreements to extend
term by one year to June 30, 2011 (no change in not-to-exceed compensation
amounts):
1. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 08-097 with Harris & Associates, Inc.;
2. Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 08-098 with Meyer Civil Engineering,
Inc.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendments.
BACKGROUND: These current On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying agreements are for
services provided during the last half of Fiscal Year 2007-08 and all of Fiscal Year 2008-09 and
Fiscal Year 2009-10. These agreements expired on June 30, 2010. However, the consultants are
still working on various projects that were not completed by that expiration date. Therefore, an
extension to these agreements is required to provide for the services necessary to complete the
assigned tasks on these various projects. This amendment does not provide any additional
compensation to the consultants as their fees for the various projects have already been
approved. In addition, the amendment excludes making any new work assignments to the
consultants.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order Nos. 65, 66, and 78 to Agreement No. 07-30 with Security
Paving Construction ($77,201.36 for a revised not to exceed amount of
$32,883,512.43) for the State Route 178 and Fairfax Road Interchange Project (TRIP)
(Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: This project consists, In general, of construction of a freeway interchange on State
Route 178 (SR-178) at Fairfax Road and the extension of the SR-178 freeway for one mile, from just
east of the Oswell Street overcrossing to just west of Morning Drive.
Change Order No. 65 provides for the placement of 6 foot tall chain link fencing along some of
the boundaries of the freeway interchange right-of-way. This item of work was not included in the
original plans that were approved by Caltrans and bid by contractors. This modification was
subsequently requested by Caltrans in order to provide additional safety to the public. This
change order results in a net, increase of $49,407.50.
Change Order No. 66 provides for modifications to drainage system # 21, which is located on the
south side of SR-178 and east of Fairfax Road. This drainage system was built as shown in the
plans; but when it rained, ponding resulted at the outlet of the system near the edge of the
freeway. This created a possible safety issue for vehicles travelling eastbound on SR-178; the
modifications to the drainage system solve this problem. This change order results in a net
increase of $14,598.62.
Change Order No. 78 provides for additional concrete curbing along the base of the retaining
wall at the eastbound off ramp, to enable installation of river rock hard-scaping between the
edge of this ramp and the retaining wall. The original plans called for asphalt paving to be
installed in this area. River rock surface treatment in this area. was proposed in an effort to
enhance aesthetics and be consistent with other areas of the project that receive aesthetic
treatments. This change order results in a net increase of $13,195.24.

U C.1 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The net cost increase of Change Order Nos. 65, 66, and 78 is $77,201.36. This provides a total cost
increase of $3,554,066.33 which is a 12.1 `k increase as illustrated below:
• Original Contract Amount (includes Amendment Nos. 1 & 2) _ $29,329,446.10
• Previous Change Orders = $ 3,476,864.97
• Current Change Order No. 65, 66 and 78 = $ 77,201.36
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $32,883,512.43
Net Increase to date = $ 3,554,066.33
At the May 5, 2010 City Council meeting, staff estimated that there were approximately $500,000
in outstanding change orders for this project. The actual figures are detailed, as follows:
On June 30, 2010, the City Council approved $296,442.21 in change orders, $136,146.60 of which
was a part of the PB Americas ramp design error issue, and therefore paid by them. This reduced
the amount of those change orders to actually be paid by the City to $160,295.61.
The sum of the change orders brought forward for approval on this date is $77,021.36, which
brings the total amount produced to Council to $237,316.97.
Deducting this amount from $500,000 leaves a balance of $262,683.03 in change orders that staff
projects, but has yet to be substantiated by Security Paving. When confirming information is
received, the change orders will be brought to Council for approval.

for the Annual Contract for concrete construction. Three (3) bids were received in response to
this solicitation. The bids solicited were based on a list of concrete services with estimated

items by the estimated number of units for each item.
Sufficient funds are available to cover the costs associated with this agreement. The contract
award is for a one year period; renewable annually for four consecutive one-year periods at
the City's option and upon mutually agreeable terms.

On July 30, 2010 the City Clerks office received a written bid protest regarding this bid item,
filed by Rodriguez and Associates on behalf of Terry Bedford Concrete Construction. The bid
protest (copy attached) states that: "Terry Bedford believes that the Jim Alfter bid is
nonresponsive to the bid specifications and further believes that there are irregularities in the
bid submitted by Jim Alfter". The protest letter also requests the Council to continue any
decision on this matter to a future date to allow the City to produce the records requested
and allow Terry Bedford the opportunity to review the documents.
Finance staff has reviewed the bid submittal from Mr. Alfter and we found no irregularities, nor
did we identify any nonresponsive issues related to Mr. Alfter's bid submittal.
As of 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 04, 2010 the City Clerks office has advised that the
requested records were picked up and are now in possession of Rodriguez and Associates.
At this point in time staff believes there is no reason to defer this item to a future date, given
that Mr. Bedford will have a full week to review the records provided prior to the Council
meeting Date of August 11, 2010, at which time he can provide further comment regarding his
claims against Mr. Alfter's bid submittal.
Staff finds the low bid submitted by Jim Alfter Cement Contractor to be acceptable and
recommends award of the contract in the amount of $2,209,172.

SUBJECT: Accept proposal and award contract to Zim Industries, Inc. dba Ba rsfiel Well
and Pump Company (not to exceed $100,000) for on-call servic s for
maintenance and repair of the Olcese Wells. (Ward 4) ,
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of proposal and award of contract.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield owns and operates 6 wells and appurtenant equipment known as the
City's "Olcese Wells" located in the City's 2800 Acre Recharge Facility. The wells are considered
deep wells. All motors are 3-phase General Electric ranging in size from 250 HP to 350 HP. Due
to the specialized services needed to keep the wells operating properly, notifications of Request
for Qualifications and Fee Proposals (RFQ/P's) were sent to over 300 contractors for the annual
agreement of the maintenance and repair of the City's Olcese Wells. Proposals to the RFQ/P
were received from two firms; Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Repair, Inc. did not meet
the qualifications stated in the RFQ/P since they did not have a local office. In addition, their
proposal had higher hourly rates.
Based on the qualifications and Fee Schedule submitted by Zim Industries, Inc., staff
recommends acceptance of the proposal. Zim Industries, Inc. has provided timely and quality
services on City water wells for the past three years.
The agreement is based on time and materials not to exceed $100,000 for a one year period.
Sufficient funds are available in the Department's FY 2010-11 Operating Budget to cover the
cost for this agreement. The project will be funded with Water Enterprise Funds.

the need arises.
The main monitoring and control for the proposed video system will be located at the Police
Department Headquarters building, located in the downtown area at 1601 Truxtun Avenue. The
video surveillance enabled by the network will provide real time intelligence, allowing the BPD to
move more safely and effectively to prevent crimes or interrupt crimes in progress.

SUBJECT: Quitclaim of Easement on property located in Arvin, California, to Gr' mway
Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the quitclaim.
BACKGROUND:
As a result of a title search, Grimmway discovered that the City of Bakersfield is the record owner
of an easement in Arvin, California. It appears that the City obtained the easement as a
successor in interest to the Kern Island Canal Company, which was the successor in interest to the
East Side Canal Company. The easement was granted back in 1893 by the East Side Canal as
part of a plan to construct a canal to deliver water. The canal was never built.
Now, Grimmway is the current owner of the property and requesting that the City quitclaim
whatever interest it has in the 40 foot wide by quarter mile long easement to clear title to the
property.

SUBJECT: Revised Job Specifications: Water Resources Director #89110 and
Water Resources Superintendent #88570
I
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
At the request of Water Resources Manager, the job specifications for Water Resources Director
and Water Resources Superintendent, have been reviewed and revised as they were last
updated in 2004. Some language was changed and/or added to update the essential job
duties and distinguishing characteristics. The job specifications have also been put into a new
format for readability.
Specifically, the Water Resources Director training and experience has been revised from ten (10)
years of progressively responsible experience to five (5) years to ensure equity and consistency
internally with City positions, and to better reflect the needed requirement for the desired
applicants. Also, the old job specification referenced the Community Services Department and it
is now the Water Resources Department. In addition the Water Resources Superintendent position
had several minor changes including the substitution of "city water systems" in place of the terms
"agricultural and domestic."
There is no budgetary impact as the salaries will remain the same.
The revised job specifications were presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board and
approved at their July 20, 2010 meeting.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider a Resolution amending the Miramo Dr' e-Chase
Avenue Planned Major Thoroughfare Area (Ward 3).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: In 2007, the City of Bakersfield adopted the Miramonte Drive-Chase Avenue
Planned Major Thoroughfare Area. This Major Thoroughfare Area included as improvements the
southerly extension of Miramonte Drive to Chase Avenue and Chase Avenue westerly to the
intersection of Comanche Drive, and included bicycle lanes on Comanche Road from SR 178
to Edison Highway. Construction of these improvements was a requirement of the property
owner (Arnold Pettit) of Section 23, T.29 S., R.29 E., M.D.M., and the subdivider of Tentative Tracts
6839 through 6844 (GFC Properties LLC). Other properties being developed in the Rio Bravo
area have been required to participate or contribute to the cost of construction of this
thoroughfare. The Major Thoroughfare Area requires payment of the proportionate share of
cost of the road of all undeveloped properties within the benefited area upon their
development.
Subsequent to the formation of this district, the County of Kern completed improvements on
Comanche Road, effectively constructing the bicycle lanes that were a requirement of the
development of Section 23. The cost estimate and fee schedule have been amended to
remove this cost from the district, lowering the cost per acre for the Major Thoroughfare Area.
Resolution of Intention No. 1670, to consider amending the Miramonte Drive-Chase Avenue
Planned Major Thoroughfare Area, was adopted by City Council at the regular meeting of July
21, 2010. This resolution preliminarily approved the revised cost of the improvements and the
fee schedule. The resolution also set a hearing for August 11, 2010.
1. The hearing is in regard to the adoption of the amendment to the Miramonte Drive-
Chase Avenue Planned Major Thoroughfare Area.
2. The Resolution Adopts the Amended Miramonte Drive-Chase Avenue Planned Major
Thoroughfare Area.
As of the date of this administrative report, no protest letters from the affected property owners
have been received.

to R-1 (One Family Dwelling) on 11.26-acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving a Negative Declaration, approving the
proposed general plan amendment, and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project includes three parcels of land within the unincorporated boundaries of
the County of Kern, located along the east side of Stine Road, generally between McKee
Road and Taff Highway. The applicant proposes amendments to the Metropolitan Bakersfield
General Plan Land Use Element to change the land use designation from SR to HMR on 4.78-
acres and a concurrent zone change from A to R-2/PUD on the same 4.78-acres. The project
site is undeveloped and the applicant is proposing development of a 60 unit apartment
complex. The rezoning also Includes a PUD (Planned Unit Development) combining zone.
Approval of the development plans are not being proposed at this time. However, all future
PUD plans will require public review and approval by the Planning Commission prior to
development.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
Also proposed is a zone change from A to R-1 of an adjacent 11.26-acres parcel to the south.
The 11.26 acre property Is fully developed with the Panama Elementary School and
bus/storage facility. The Panama Elementary School District Is requesting a change in zoning
to be consistent with the existing land use designation.
The project site is located within a county area in southwest Bakersfield. Urban development
has occurred in the project vicinity. Surrounding development consists of single family housing
to the north, east and west. The property owners have submitted written requests to annex
their property to the City of Bakersfield (known as Annexations 624 & 627). Approval of these
annexations will eliminate the existing county area between the project site and Taft Highway.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this General Plan
Amendment and Zone Change on June 17, 2010, and recommended approval to the City
Council. No Individuals or agencies present at the hearing opposed the request and the
applicant 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 May 24, 2010, in accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment/Zone Change 10-0157. (Ward 6)
MSW Architectural & Engineering, Inc., representing Moran Development, the
property owner, has applied for a general plan amendment and zone change
to modify four conditions of approval previously approved for GPA/ZC 06-0463,
located along the south side of Berkshire Road, generally west of Ashe Road.
1. Resolution approving a Notice of Exemption and adopting the general
plan amendment to modify four conditions of approval for GPA 06-0463.
2. First reading of ordinance approving a Notice of Exemption and

by modifying four conditions of approval for ZC 06-0463.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving a Notice of Exemption, approving the
proposed general plan amendment and first reading of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The 78.33-acre project site Is located along the south side of Berkshire Road, west of Ashe
Road and north of McCutchen Road. In 2006, the property owner submitted GPA/ZC 06-0463
requesting a change In the land use and zoning from agriculture to urba es. The
Bakersfield City Council approved the changes on November 15, 2006 (by R lution 297-06)

project site.
The applicant is requesting approval of a general plan amendment/zone change (GPA/ZC
10-0157) to modify four conditions of approval previously approved for GPA/ZC 06-0463.
Specifically, the proponent is requesting to modify conditions 5a, 7, 8 and 11 to allow certain
offsite Improvements to be phased with the phasing of development and for median fees on
the arterial frontage of the property to be apportioned between phases.
Approval of GPA/ZC 10-0157 does not eliminate any of the offsite Improvement requirements
as conditioned In the previously approved GPA/ZC 06-0463; It will merely allow construction
and/or cost of the improvements to be completed relative to each phase of development.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page2
This Is consistent with past practice by the city as development occurs. The Public Works
Department also concurs with the revised language.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this General Plan
Amendment and Zone Change on June 17, 2010, and recommended approval to the City
Council. No public agency or person from the public spoke in opposition of the proposed
request.

feet of office uses on 30.52 acres of C-O/PCD (Professional and Administrative Office/Planned
Commercial Development), and 1,376,496 square feet of Industrial on 127.23 acres of M-2
(General Manufacturing). The proposal also Includes annexation of the project site Into the City

completed in four phases, with project buildout projected for 2030. The first phase, located on
the west side of Coffee Road, will Include a community retail center on approximately 66 acres
containing 620,300 square feet of retail stores, restaurants, and a movie theater. Phase 2, on the
east side of Coffee Road, will Include 794,000 square feet of retail, plus 45,200 square feet of
garden sales area on 78.5 acres. The last two phases will Include commercial office and light

The CEQA requirements have been followed by staff and the Planning Commission for the
project. Staff conducted an initial study and it was determined that the project could have a
significant environmental effect. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA, an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) was prepared. The Planning Commission and staff conducted several
hearings on the EIR, including a public scoping meeting on October 24, 2007, an adequacy
hearing to receive comments on the Draft EIR on April 1, 2010, and a hearing on the Final EIR on
June 17, 2010.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this general plan amendment/ zone
change on June 17, 2010, and recommended approval to the City Council. No individuals
spoke in opposition, although written comments addressing the EIR were submitted by the Sierra
Club. The applicant submitted responses to the Sierra Club comments. All correspondence
submitted after the completion of the Final EIR can be found in the backup materials.
Mitigation measures recommended as part of project approval address land use and zoning;
agriculture; public health and safety; aesthetics, light and glare; traffic and circulation; noise; air
quality; biological resources; cultural resources; public services and utilities; geologic and
seismic hazards; and hydrology and water quality. The Impacts to urban decay were found to
be less than significant and did not require mitigation measures. The applicant has agreed to
all conditions and mitigation for the project.
Despite compliance with local ordinances, state laws, mitigation measures Incorporated Into
the project as -conditions of approval, and construction in accordance with the uniform
building codes, cumulative traffic and noise Impacts would remain significant. Staff and the
Planning Commission recommend certification of the Final EIR and accompanying mitigation
