Agreements
Items 8h and 81. Agreements with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools to Expand the Safe
Community Partnership In 2010, a partnership was formed with the Kern County Superintendent of
Schools (KCSOS) that provides for KCSOS to administer the Project 180 prevention/intervention
program, known as the Safe Community Partnership, that is designed to reduce gang violence under
the 2009 CaIGRIP grant. The Police Department recently received a two-year grant from CalEMA in
the amount of $329,475 to expand the program. The expansion includes providing for a Special
Projects Facilitator, who will coordinate services and referrals, and a Nurse-Family Partnership nurse.
The Police Department will also carry out a truancy reduction program.
Bids
Item 8o. Mill Creek Linear Park Sister City Gardens - Phase A. The project is to construct new
landscape improvements adjacent to the Mill Creek Linear Park walking path, located on the
southeast corner of the intersection of the path with 181h Street in downtown Bakersfield. Eight firms
were prequalified through a Responsibility Statement and Questionnaire process; however, only five
bids were received. All five were deemed non-responsive as they either did not meet labor or
material specifications. Staff recommends rejecting the bids, re-evaluating the contract
specifications, and subsequently rebidding the project.

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 or his 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.

construct and maintain improvements for the Westside Parkway/Coffee Road
interchange at the Cross Valley Canal (CVC). (TRIP) (Wards 2 and 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of License Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Improvements for the Westside Parkway interchange at Coffee Road will cross
over the CVC and encroach into KCWA right-of-way. The City needs to widen the existing
Coffee Road Bridge, over the CVC, to accommodate an additional dedicated right-turn lane for
the new southbound to eastbound on-ramp. There will also be a new sidewalk constructed
along the east side of Coffee Road in this area. This agreement will enable the City to construct
and maintain these improvements within the KCWA right-of-way.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Sales Tax Resource Group (STRG) is a company that specializes in recovering sales and
use taxes overpaid directly to the State or collected by vendors for goods and services.
STRG will audit the claims for use taxes paid to the State Board of Equalization for
accuracy and review payment activity for transactions that are historically susceptible
to overcharges by vendors. If overpayments are found STRG will submit claims for
refunds to the State and contact any vendors directly for refunds or credits noted. STRG
will be paid a 25% contingency fee for any refunds received by the City as a result of
their efforts. If no refunds or credits are found as a result of this review, STRG will collect
no fee.
Sales Tax Resource Group was established in 1999 and has a level of experience and
expertise that City staff does not have with regards to these types of reviews.

SUBJECT: Agreement with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools (KCSOS) Office
($150,708.00) to expand the Safe Community Partnership Strategy, consistent with
the requirements set forth by CalEMA for the 2010 Cal-GRIP grant.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) has received a two-year grant in the
amount of $329,475 under the 2010 California Gang Reduction, Intervention, and Prevention
Program (CaIGRIP) from the California Emergency Management Agency (ColEMA), to expand
the Safe Community Partnership (SCP) strategy implemented in April 2010. A new and distinct
approach using an evidenced based program will be integrated into the current Safe
Community Partnerships model. The partnership with KCSOS will provide a program nurse to
administer the Nurse-Family Partnership(NFP) program to a minimum of fifty families in the target
area while providing referrals for at-risk youth and families to existing community services.
KCSOS will work closely with the Kern County Network for Children to link services to Bakersfield Safe
Street Call In participants.
In 2010 a partnership was formed with Kern County Superintendent of Schools (KCSOS), as part of
the implementation of the SCP Strategy to reduce gang violence funded by the 2009 CaIGRIP
grant, to administer the Project 180 prevention/intervention program. To help guide the strategy,
KCSOS monitored, documented and reported all prevention and intervention services under this
program.
As a part of the SCP strategy begun in 2010, the BPD provided a total of three Gang Forum "Coll-
ins" in which active gang members were invited to participate in meetings where they heard the
community's demand to stop the violence as well as a message of concern for the gang
members and a willingness to help them through social services. The highly positive response
from the participants of the Gang Forum "Call-Ins" helped to identify the need to provide
additional support services and interventions, resulting in the selection of the evidenced based
program - Nurse-Family Partnership.

With funding from the 2010 CaIGRIP grant, the Bakersfield Police Department will partner with
KCSOS and Kern Network for Children (KCNC) to administer the evidence-based program Nurse
Family Partnership and staff a Special Projects Facilitator who will coordinate services and
referrals for gang members and their families in order to effect a long-term reduction in gang
violence. The Bakersfield Police Department will also carry out a truancy reduction program
intended to target youth most at risk of gang participation and violence.
The NFP program targets vulnerable first-time moms and their babies with the ultimate goal of
transforming their lives. A registered nurse provides expectant mothers care and support they
need to have a healthy pregnancy, teaches mothers strategies that will enable them to provide
responsible and competent care for their children, and ultimately become more economically
self-sufficient. The overarching goal is to break the cycle of poverty and violence by providing
opportunities to succeed.
The total grant amount referenced above ($329,475) includes $58,916 to fund BPD over-time to
carry out the truancy reduction program, $119,851 to fund the KCNC Special Projects Facilitator
(see adjacent agenda item), and $150,708 to partially fund the KCSOS NFP program nurse as
described above. These funds were appropriated into the General Fund Police Budget by City
Council on 04/13/11.

SUBJECT: Reject all bids for the Mill Creek Linear Park Sister City Gardens - Phase A (Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the rejection of all bids, re-evaluation of the contract
specifications, and rebidding of the project.
BACKGROUND: The Mill Creek Linear Park Sister City Gardens - Phase A is a project funded by
State Proposition 1 C funds. The project is to construct new landscape improvements adjacent
to the Mill Creek Linear Park walking path, located on the southeast corner of the intersection
of the path with 18m Street in downtown Bakersfield. Project will provide decorative stamped
concrete pavement, decorative lighting, shad structures, decorative water fountain pool,
landscaping, and irrigation. The landscaping has been chosen to reflect the type of
landscape which reflects the Sister City region that is being represented at the sites. The City
created a Final Bidders List for the project through the Responsibility Statement and
Questionnaire process. There were eight (8) firms prequalified for the project as final bidders.
There were five (5) bids received at the bid opening.
Staff reviewed the bid document information submitted by the three lowest bidders. The
apparent low bidder, Elite Landscaping, did not meet the specification requirement that the
General Contractor shall complete 50% of the work with their own forces.
The apparent second low bidder, Rock Bottom, Inc., listed a subcontractor who was not
previously approved to be used for a construction material item that was called out in the
contract documents. The contract documents require that the City review any desired
changes to the project materials specified in the documents and that those desired changes
be submitted for approval prior to the bid opening. Rock Bottom, Inc., submitted bid
information that shows they plan to use non-City approved project material in their bid for a
major item of work.
The apparent third low bidder, Kern Pacific Construction, did not meet the specification
requirement that the General Contractor shall complete 50% of the work with their own forces.
The fourth and fifth bidders submitted bids that are considered to be outside the project
budget requirements.

CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Accept bid and approve contract to Irv Guinn Construction ($885,949.60) for
construction of Sewer Improvements: Hooper Avenue, Kimberly Avenue, and
Urner Street. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of low bid and approval of contract.
BACKGROUND: In 2008 Annexations No. 593 and 605 annexed Hooper Avenue and Kimberly
Avenue into the City. As part of that annexation agreement the City would construct sewer
improvements for the residents. This project fulfills the City's obligation to construct sewer
improvements for the annexed area.
The project consists, in general, of constructing sewer mains and laterals to the front property
line of each house and pavement overlay. The project will service 89 existing residences within
these boundaries. This project is funded by sewer enterprise funds, which will be reimbursed by
property owner fees at the time the owner connects to the sewer service. The Engineer's
Estimate for the project was $1,180,000. There are sufficient funds to award to the low bidder.
On April 5, 2011, a total of ten bids were received; all of those bids are acceptable. Those
acceptable bids are as follows:

Redevelopment Agency Board Chairman who attended the annual Calif rnia
Redevelopment Association Conference on March 30 and 31, 2011. (Wards 1 & 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval,
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was awarded the California Redevelopment
Association's (CRA) Award of Excellence for the Mill Creek Linear Park Project. The Bakersfield
RDA board chairman, Larry Koman, and members of the Economic and Community Department
staff accepted the award on behalf the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency on March 30, 2011
at the CRA conference in San Jose. The CRA annually presents the Award of Excellence in
recognition of redevelopment projects from around the state which have significantly benefitted
their communities.
Redevelopment Agency board members have attended this conference in the past however,
due to persistent budget constraints board members have not attended in recent years. Mr.
Koman attended the conference this year to accept this prestigious award on behalf of the
Agency and to attend break-out sessions offered at the conference to increase knowledge in
the area of public outreach and advocacy strategies to State legislators in support of the
current fight to protect redevelopment,
As set forth in the City Council Resolution No. 173-06, City Council approval is required either
before or after the event for reimbursement of expenditures related of a Redevelopment Agency
member, Council Resolution is attached,
The Total cost of sending Mr. Koman to the event is itemized below:

ITEM: 9. t
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVED
FROM: Douglas R. Greener, Fire Chief DEPARTMENT HEAD_
DATE: April 19, 2011 CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: US Department of Homeland Security Grant
1. Appropriate $170,897 Federal Grant Revenues from US Department of
Homeland Security to the Fire Department Capital Improvement Budget within
the Capital Outlay Fund for purchase of live-fire training props; and
2. Appropriate $42,724 Capital Outlay Fund Balance for the local match
requirement to the Fire Department Capital Improvement Budget within the
Capital Outlay Fund for the purchase of live-fire training props.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval to accept and appropriate the Federal Grant and the City's 20%
match.
BACKGROUND:
The Bakersfield Fire Department has been approved for the 2010 Assistance to Firefighters Grant
on behalf of the US Department of Homeland Security. The approved project is $213,621 of which
the Federal share is $170,897 and the City share is $42,724 (80/20). Live-fire training props will be
purchased.
This project has been tentatively approved for the FY2011-12 CIP budget. However the grant
performance period is based on a calendar year, and not a fiscal year, which puts the grant
closeout requirement in January 2012, six months after the start of FY201 1-12. The live-fire props
may take as long as six months to construct, which creates a timing issue. The Fire Department
respectfully requests that the appropriations occur in the current fiscal year to accelerate the
process and insure compliance with the grant requirements.
The live-fire training props will consist of both a flammable liquid and gases prop, and a vehicle
fire prop. These live-fire training props will allow firefighting personnel to safely train in flammable
liquid fire and vehicle fire related scenarios. The live-fire training props will allow for safe instruction
in direct attack, indirect attack, and other suppression tactics while complying with NFPA, OSHA,
air quality, and other state and local ordinances and standards for live-fire training.

CITY ATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
1. Appropriate $6,645 contribution from Friends of Kroll Park made through the
Bakersfield Foundation to the Recreation and Parks Department's Capital
Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund.
2. Appropriate $1,500 contribution from Friends of Kroll Park made to the City to
the Recreation and Parks Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the
Capital Outlay Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
Friends of Kroll Park have raised funds to replace the metal shelter shade structure surrounding
the picnic tables and barbecues located at Kroll Park. The new shade structure will be larger and
will provide more shade. Additionally, the fabric cover will allow improved air circulation and
greatly reduce the radiant heat effect of the existing metal shelter.
The total cost for the purchase of the shade structure and installation is $10,800. Funding in the
amount of $8,145 will be provided by contributions made by Friends of Kroll Park: $6,645
contribution made through the Bakersfield Foundation and $1,500 contributed directly to the City
of Bakersfield. The Capital Outlay Fund will supplement remaining costs of $2,655 from available
balance in the Kroll Park Playground Rehab project.
Staff recommends appropriation of $8,145 for contributions made by Friends of Kroll Park into the
Recreation and Parks Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund.
