RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The owners of the property at 125 Dunlap Street desire to connect the
property to the City sewer system. The property owner claims that to pay the sewer
connection and construction fees in one payment would produce an economic hardship. To
assist in paying the connection and construction fees, the City has contracted with the
property owner to spread the connection and construction fees over a five (5) year period to
be collected with their property taxes in accordance with Municipal Code Section 14.12.030,
14.12.390, and 16.32.060. Ordinance No. 4433 dated May 23, 2007, authorizes the Kern County
Tax Collector to collect the connection and construction fees in five equal payments over the
next five years.

1. Resolution authorizing the BPD to amend the partnership entered into with the CHP,
by Memorandum of Understanding, to participate in the grant funded California
Highway Patrol "Arrive Alive" Sober Driving Coalition Il, Bakersfield Eastside
DUI Corridor Safety Project, Grant #ALI0109.
2. Appropriate $23,000.00 Federal Grant Revenues ("Arrive Alive" Sober Driving
Coalition ll, Bakersfield Eastside DUI Corridor Safety Project, Grant #ALI 0109 from
the State Office of Traffic Safety) to the General Fund Police Operating Budget, to
fund overtime for traffic enforcement strategies along State Routes 178 and 58
within the greater Bakersfield area.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Resolution
and approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The California Highway Patrol (CHP), Bakersfield Area, was awarded funding from the
California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to target and apprehend drunk drivers. Segments of
State Route- (SR-) 58 and SR-178 in Kern County were selected for enhanced Driving Under
the Influence (DUI) enforcement patrols and anti-DUI public education campaigns. The
project begins on June 1, 2010, and ends on May 31, 2011.
On June 30, 2010 the City Council adopted Resolution 073-10 creating a community outreach
partnership between the Bakersfield Police Department and the CHP, to provide DUI patrols on
segments of State Routes 58 and 178 per OTS grant #AL10109. This partnership provided over-
time funding ($30,000.00) for BPD officers to patrol the target areas mentioned above.
Recently, the CHP has been authorized by OTS to amend our partnership agreement to increase
the BPD's over-time funding to $53,000.00. To accept the increased funding and amend our
agreement, the CHP is requesting a resolution from the Bakersfield City Council. The BPD also
requests an appropriation of $23,000 to the General Fund Police Operating Budget, for the
amended grant award.

CITY MANAGER ~S
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Mesa Marin Sports Complex is on schedule to be operating by June 1, 2011. A prefabricated
concession facility is part of the complex. In anticipation of the opening, the City desires to enter
into an agreement to provide customers with concession services. Requests for Proposals (RFP)
were sent to seventy two (72) food and catering vendors on October 29, 2010, and three (3)
acceptable proposals were received on November 19, 2010. A screening committee reviewed
and ranked all proposals based on several evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP.
The three (3) proposals received are as follows:
Connors Concessions
Bakersfield, CA
Mestmaker Catering & Consulting
Bakersfield, CA
Amazing Bounce
Bakersfield, CA
Staff conducted verbal interviews with all three (3) applicants and found Connors Concessions as
the only proposal to have met all the criteria in the RFP. The criteria included enclosing a
complete business plan, indicating experience in concession operations, listing menu pricing
along with menu items, and staffing certificates. Connors Concessions was the former owner of a

Connors Concessions will repair and maintain all equipment necessary to provide concession
services to participants and spectators at the Mesa Marin Sports Complex.
Per requirement in the RFP and by contract, on or before the twentieth (201h) day of each month,
eighty percent (80%) of gross sales will be retained by Connors Concessions and twenty percent
(20%) distributed to the City.

SUBJECT: Relinquishment Agreement with the State of California Department of
Transportation to relinquish State Route (SR) 178 (24th Street), in advance of
construction of the 24th Street Improvement Project, from the western side of the
Kern River Bridge, located west of Oak Street, and continuing east to M Street.
(TRIP)(Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Relinquishment Agreement.
BACKGROUND: The 24th Street Improvement Project is part of the Thomas Roads Improvement
Program (TRIP). This project will improve 24th Street and the 24th/23rd Street couplet area from SR-
99 to M Street, as well as expand the 24th Street/Oak Street intersection. The relinquishment will
include the area from the western side of the Kern River Bridge, located west of Oak Street, and
continuing east to M Street. When the TRIP program was initially developed, several TRIP road
widening projects were proposed for State routes. Being on State routes, these projects would
need to be designed to State standards which require significant additional roadway width for
shoulders. This additional roadway width does not add any additional traffic capacity to the
road, but does cause much more impacts to adjacent properties and businesses and results in
significant additional costs.
So the City County and Caltrans worked with then Assemblyman McCarthy to develop
legislation (Assembly Bill 1858) to allow Caltrans to relinquish these roads to the City and County.
Relinquishment would allow these road widening projects to be built to City and County
standards (which do not require the additional shoulder width) and allowed the TRIP funds to go
further and build more traffic capacity. Rosedale Highway (SR-58), Golden State Avenue (SR-
204), and 24th Street (SR-178) were all included in Assembly Bill 1858 which was signed by the
governor in 2006 and which provided for the relinquishment of the roadways from Caltrans to the
City or County,
There have been on-going preparatory reports and studies performed by Caltrans over the past
few years that are required to accomplish this relinquishment. The next step is approval of this
agreement. After approval of this agreement by the City, the agreement and the above
mentioned documents will be sent to the California Transportation Committee (CTC) for their
review and anticipated approval. The relinquishment for 24th Street is currently on the CTC
agenda for their May, 2011 meeting. After approval by the CTC, this agreement is recorded and
shortly thereafter this roadway will become the responsibility of the City.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter
($60,989) for a full scope annual audit of the 2010-11 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In February 2007, inquires were sent to approximately 28 local CPA firms and 9 outside firms, with four
firms expressing an interest in the City Audit. Requests for Proposals were sent to the interested audit
firms. Three firms submitted proposals which were reviewed by the Finance department. One firm did not
submit their sealed dollar cost bid based on the requirement in the RFP and were excluded from
consideration. The two qualified proposals were sent to the Budget and Finance Committee. The Budget
and Finance Committee reviewed the proposals on April 30, 2007. The Budget and Finance committee
recommended the selection of Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter to
perform the annual audit work for the 2006-07 fiscal year ($60,400), with the option of up to four (4) one
year extensions.
The Request for Proposal issued in February 2007 contemplated a five year commitment with the selected
firm, with the 2006-07 fiscal year being year 1 of 5. A cost of living factor was built into the contract so that
future year costs do not exceed Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation measures, assuming no change in
the scope of the audit and assuming no significant change in the audit workload as a result of
Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) actions that might take place in the future. Brown
Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck Thornburgh & Keeter was agreeable to this additional contract
language. The agreement referenced above is related to the audit for year 5 of 5. The difference in cost
from year 4 to year 5 represents a 1.8% increase (based on the January 2011 CPI index).
The cost of the annual audit is shared between the City and the Redevelopment Agency. The City's cost is
budgeted as a "non-departmental" line item in the General Fund. A small portion of the City costs is
charged to the Wastewater Enterprise Fund regarding a compliance review letter associated with the Sub-
Regional Wastewater / User Agency agreement. The Redevelopment costs are charged to the operating
budgets of the three RDA project areas.

below:
• Original Contract Amount = $21,680.00
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Orders = $38,779.00
Net Increase to date = $17,099.00

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
In July 2009, Caltrans adopted new "Race Conscious" requirements for federally funded
projects, which also apply to this RSTP funded project. A formula provided by the State of
California was used to calculate the required percentage of 11% for Underutilized
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBE) to be used as subcontractors on this contract. The
City held a mandatory pre-bid meeting for all of the preapproved contractors allowed to bid
on this project and an invitation to subcontractors to meet those preapproved contractors.
Each contractor on the preapproved bidders list was required to attend said meeting in order
to bid on this project.
During that meeting, the importance of putting forth a good faith effort to meet the
predetermined goal by soliciting UDBE's was emphasized to each contractor in attendance.
It was also stressed to the contractors that they need to provide to the City appropriate
documentation indicating that good faith efforts were performed if the goal was not met.
The low bidder, Bowman Asphalt, Inc., did not attain the UDBE goal of 11 % for this contract.
However, the Contractor submitted good faith efforts documentation which was reviewed by
Staff. Staff concluded that the Contractor did perform adequate good faith efforts and
recommends award of the contract to the low bidder.

Two protest letters were received on behalf of the apparent second low bidder. Staff
reviewed these two protest letters and determined that the assertions were unsubstantiated.
The two protest letters and the City's response to these letters are attached to this
Administrative Report.
Contracts for competitively bid public projects must be awarded to the lowest responsible
bidder. Generally, a bid must conform to the material terms of the bid package. However, a
bid may be responsive even if there is a discrepancy in the bid, as long as the discrepancy is
inconsequential, that is, the discrepancy must not: 1) affect the amount of the bid; 2) give a
bidder an advantage over others; 3) be a potential vehicle for favoritism; 4) influence
potential bidders refrain from bidding; or 5) affect the ability to make bid comparisons.
The City can waive an irregularity or discrepancy in the bid if the discrepancy is
inconsequential. The City is waiving the discrepancy in the bid to allow the lowest bidder to
provide the missing information as requested in Addendum No. 5 to the bid proposal. The City
believes that allowing the lowest bidder to supply the missing information is inconsequential
because on that particular line item, there is only one supplier for that type of equipment:
Plasti-Fab. The waiver of the bid irregularity did not affect the amount of the bid nor did it give
a bidder an advantage over others or influence potential bidders from bidding. The City is still
able to make bid comparisons, and the waiver of inconsequential bid irregularities in this case
is not a potential vehicle for favoritism.

SUBJECT: Accept base bid and additive alternate No. 1 and No. 2 and award contract to
Loop Electric, Inc. ($684,334.00) for Installation of Traffic Signal Interconnect - Part
8(Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low base bid plus additive
alternate No. 1 and No. 2, and award of contract.
BACKGROUND: This project will install traffic signal interconnect conduit and wiring along:
• Beale Avenue between Niles Street and Flower Street
• Belle Terrace between H Street and Chester Avenue
• Columbus Street between Oswell Street and University Avenue
• Fairfax Road between Auburn Street and Panorama Drive
• Flower Street between Beale Avenue and Owens Street
• Haley Street between Columbus Street and Height Street
• Height Street between Haley Street and Sunny Lane
• Monitor Street between Berkshire Road and White Lane

Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) funds. The federal portion of this project will fund
88.53% of this project's costs. The 11.47% local portion of this project is funded with local gas
tax revenues. The Base Bid was used to determine which contractor submitted the low bid.
The Additive Alternates were included in the award based on the availability of project funds.
The Engineer's Estimate for the project's Base Bid is $691,515, Additive Alternate No. 1 is
$20,000, and Additive Alternate No. 2 is $10,000.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $75,443.83 County Grant Revenues (HIDTA) to the Police Department
Operating Budget within the General Fund, toward the cost of surveillance
equipment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Police Department participates in the Southern Tri-County Task Force, a sub-
component of the Central Valley High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program (STC-HIDTA). The
STC-HIDTA is an intelligence / investigative group made up of law enforcement from the Central
Valley. The group attacks all aspects of meth trafficking, including the acquisition of precursor
chemicals, meth manufacturing, product distribution, and money laundering. The STC-HIDTA is a
grant funded operation administered by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
The STC-HIDTA has authorized the Bakersfield Police Department to purchase surveillance
equipment totaling $75,443.83, to be used in the STC-HIDTA program. Once the equipment is
purchased, the Bakersfield Police Department will submit invoices to be reimbursed in full from
STC-HIDTA.
Therefore, the Bakersfield Police Department requests $75,443.83 County Grant Revenues (HIDTA)
be appropriated to the Police Department Operating Budget within the General Fund, to
purchase surveillance equipment. These purchases will not have any impact to the General
Fund.

Appropriate $1,474,074 Gas Tax Fund balance (State Traffic Congestion
Relief Funds) to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement
Budget for road rehabilitation.
2. Transfer $1,300,000 of the Public Works Department's Operating Budget to
the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget for road
rehabilitation within the Gas Tax Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of appropriation and transfer.
BACKGROUND: In prior fiscal years, the State Controller's Office allocated Traffic Congestion
Relief funds to cities and counties for street / road maintenance and reconstruction. These funds
were revenues generated from the state gasoline sales tax. As additional information, traffic
Congestion Relief funds have now been eliminated and replaced with Highway Users Tax
Allocation Section 2103 funds.
The City has $2,322,915 of unexpended Traffic Congestion Relief funds. These funds must be
expended no later than the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the allocation
was made. Since $1,474,074 was received in Fiscal Year 09/10, these funds must be expended by
June 30, 2011. Staff recommends appropriating these funds to the Public Works Department's
Capital Improvement budget within the Gas Tax Fund. This appropriation will be used by the
Street Maintenance Division for road rehabilitation on residential streets and preventative
maintenance on streets city-wide. The remaining $848,841 of unexpended TCF funds must be
expended by June 30, 2012. This amount will be programmed in next year's CIP budget.
In addition, staff recommends transfering $1,300,000 from the Public Works Department's street
maintenance operating budget to the capital improvement budget within the Gas Tax Fund.
These funds will be used for road rehabilitation on collectors and arterials once design is
completed by the Engineering Division. This rehabilitation work will be performed by outside
contractors through the competitive bidding process.
The $1,474,074 appropriation will be allocated to the Streets Division for road rehabilitation and
preventative maintenance city-wide. Therefore, this appropriation is not specific to one location,

but rather the funds will be expended city-wide. As to the $1,300,000 appropriation, this
appropriation will be part of the CIP program; therefore, this expenditure will be specific to a
location. Staff proposes rehabilitation work on Ming Avenue from Wible Road to Hughes Lane, for
both the eastbound and westbound sides. The work includes reconstructing the outside lane for
the entire length and doing point repairs in the middle lane and inside lane.
There is no General Fund impact associated with this appropriation.

SUBJECT: A public hearing to consider the Resolution ordering the vacation of 27th Street
between the east right-of-way of Chester Avenue and the west right-of-way of
"K" Street, and a portion of the north south alley between 28th Street and 26th
Street (Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends hearing to be opened and continued to the April
13, 2011 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND: This hearing was originally scheduled for this council meeting of March 30, 2011.
However, the applicant failed to provide the City with the description of the public access that is
to remain and the offsite alley easement documents required to complete the final exhibits.
Because the hearing has been noticed for March 30th, the hearing must be opened and
continued to a future council meeting.
Following is background regarding this vacation request:
The City of Bakersfield has received a request to vacate 27th Street between the east right-of-way
of Chester Avenue and the west right-of-way of "K" Street, and a portion of the north south alley
between 28th Street and 26th Street. This vacation has been requested by San Joaquin
Community Hospital in preparation for a redevelopment project on the adjacent property to the
vacated area.
Preliminary notices were mailed to all adjacent property owners within a minimum 300 - foot
radius of the proposed vacated area. Public Works has received four letters in opposition from
these owners as of the date of this report. The letters of opposition are attached. The applicant
has contacted and met with these property owners and addressed their concerns. The City has
received three letters from these property owners withdrawing their opposition. These letters are
also attached. Also attached is a site plan showing access from the north alley to Chester
Avenue as agreed upon by the owner of 2718 Chester Avenue. The property owner of 1300 271h
Street, 2713 and 2715 "L" Street still is not in favor.
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 infrastructure in this area. The City will
reserve a Public Utility Easement (PUE) over the vacated area.
March 23, 2011; 11:54 AM
G:\GROUPDAT\ADMINRPT\2011\03-30\27T" STREET VACATION
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail. There has been no objection
as of the date of this report.
On November 17, 2010, the Planning Department found the proposed vacation of 27th Street
between the east right-of-way of Chester Avenue and the west right-of-way of "K" Street, and a
portion of the north south alley between 28th Street and 26th Street to be consistent with the
Metropolitan Bakersfield 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.
Resolution of Intention No. 1681 declaring intention to order said proposed vacation was
adopted by City Council at the regular meeting of February 16, 2011.
Notice of this public hearing has been duly advertised and posted as required by law.

City Council Goals Update - Phase 2: Review of Proposed Revisions
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council review the attached Goals, including new
updates. The Goals will be brought back at a later date for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
At the March 9, 2011 meeting, the City Council received the most recent version of the City
Council Goals that were adopted on January 4, 2010. Included was a report describing the
highlights and progress made towards the goals that were adopted in 2010.
The next step in the review process, Phase 2, provides the Council with a version of the City
Council Goals showing new updates made to date. This version includes the targeted -actions
which support the completion of the goals and the target dates (shown in bold), where
applicable. The goals have been updated to reflect the following changes:
• removal of those items which have been completed or are no longer relevant,
• inclusion of new information where goals or targets have changed, and
• addition of new goals, as needed.
The changes are noted (with shading), and the reasons for the changes are shown in the right
margin of the goals document. This modified version of the goals document has been reviewed
and discussed with the Department Heads, who have contributed to the update and changes.
Staff will also provide a presentation with a brief overview of the proposed changes.
The City Council Goals provide policy guidance to staff for budgetary and program
implementation. This information and the presentation at the City Council meeting are intended
to be the second step in the review and update of the goals. The Council may choose to further
update the goals or make additional modifications, as desired, prior to adoption.
