AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
June 6, 2012 COUNCIL MEETING
De fitment Budget Presentations: The City Attorney's Office, Recreation and Parks, and
Economic and Community Development Department will present a detailed overview of their FY
2012 -13 proposed budgets. The CVB, Rabobank Arena, and Water Resources will follow later on
this agenda under Reports.
Item 8k. Pr000sed Bond Refunding of Selected Assessment district Bonds At the request of the
Housing Incentive Task Force, staff has been working with the California Statewide Communities
Development Authority ( CSCDA) to refinance some of the City's assessment districts to a lower
interest rate. 12 of the 23 districts have been identified as meeting the CSCDA's funding criteria.
With a total debt balance of $24,080,000, the refinancing will save property owners approximately
$3.4 million over the various terms of the districts, which range from 6 to 12 years. With the savings
spread proportionately to 8,400 parcels, those property owners' annual assessments will be $40.00,
reflecting a $30.00 reduction. CSCDA requires a reimbursement agreement that will obligate the
City to pay the one -time costs of $70,000, which would be funded from the initial savings from the
refinancing. In the unlikely event the refunding process is not completed, the City would be
obligated to pay the $70,000 from the General Fund. If that should occur, staff proposes the costs
be paid from Council contingency and one -time savings from the non - departmental elections
expense account. No other City costs are anticipated. This item requests approval of a resolution
to move forward with a reimbursement agreement with CSCDA and to appropriate $10,000 from
Council contingency funds and $60,000 from the elections account to the General Fund non -
departmental budget for professional consulting. The reimbursement agreement would be
approved at a future meeting, with related bond refunding actions.
Items 9a.,9b., and 9c. Annual Protest Hearings for the Park and Street Landscaping and Traffic
Signal Assessments for the Consolidated Maintenance Districts On May 23, 2012, Council
approved resolutions of intention preliminarily adopting, confirming and approving the Public
Works Director's Report for the Park and Street Landscaping, and Traffic Signal Consolidated
Maintenance District 2012 -13 budgets. The hearings on the June 6, 2012 aggenda provide an
opportunity for the public to protest the fairness and amount of the assessments, and to allow the
City to reserve the right to either perform necessary maintenance itself or by use of a contractor.
The documentation containing the specific assessment formulas are attached to each
administrative report.
There will be a conference with the Labor Negotiatior and a conference with legal counsel
regarding one matter of existing litigation.
Item 12a. State Route 58 Widening Project Mitigated Negative Declaration. This TRIP project will
expand Rosedale Highway from four to six lanes, from Allen Road to SR 99. The City, as the lead
CEQA agency, and CalTrans, as the lead NEPA agency, have jointly prepared an initial
environmental assessment in anticipation of the City approving a "Mitigated Negative
Declaration" and CalTrans approving a "Finding of No Significant Impact The environmental
impacts have been determined to be less than significant, with the implementation of standard
mitigation measures. The required. CEQA notifications have been met, and the Planning
Commission conducted a hearing on the project on January 5, 2012 to receive comments. This
item requests adoption of a resolution certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval
of the mitigation monitoring program so the project can move forward. This is a significant
benchmark in the TRIP program. Rosedale Highway is probably the most complained about road
in the metropolitan Bakersfield area. This action will allow the City to move to final design and
property acquisition.
Item 12b. As previously referenced, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Rabobank Arena /SMG
and the Water Resources Department will provide a detailed overview of their FY 2012 -13
proposed budgets.
Item 13a. This agenda includes the public hearing prior to the adoption of the proposed FY 2012-
13 budget, proposed at $536,474,000; a $401,375,702 Operating Budget and a $135,098,298
Capital Improvement Budget. Final adoption is scheduled for the June 27th meeting.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance approving a Negative Declaration and amending the
Official Zoning Map in Title 17 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the
zone district from R -2 /PUD (Limited Multiple Family Dwelling /Planned Unit
Development) to C -2 /PCD (Regional Commercial/ Planned Commercial
Development) on 9.88 acres, located at the northeast corner of Panama Lane and
Ashe Road (ZC # 11 -0418, McIntosh & Associates, representing JEC Panama LLC,
the property owner). (Ward 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on May 23, 2012.
The project is located at the northeast corner of Panama Lane and Ashe Road. The applicant is
proposing to change the zoning to regional commercial with a planned commercial
development overlay for development of a 91,300 square foot commercial retail center. This is
part of a General Plan Amendment approved by the City Council on May 23, 2012 changing the
land use designation from high medium density residential to general commercial.
The development will include two stand -alone retail buildings (26,756 square feet), one multi -
tenant retail building (56,830 square feet) and two fast -food pads with drive - through lanes (7,720
square feet). The surrounding area includes single family housing to the north, east and west.
Property to the south includes a partially - developed housing tract.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this General Plan Amendment
and Zone Change on March 15, 2012, and recommended approval to the City Council. There
were no individuals or agencies at the hearing that 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 February 22, 2012, in accordance with CEQA.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map in Title 17 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code by changing the zone district from PUD (Planned Unit
Development) to A (Agriculture) on approximately 40 acres, located one -half
mile south of East Panama Lane along the east side of Cottonwood Road (ZC
# 12 -0023, City of Bakersfield, the property owner). (Ward 1)
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
First reading of the ordinance was given on May 23, 2012.
The proposed zone change will return City -owned property back to agricultural zoning, which
is the current and future use of the property. The property is part of the City's farm land where
dried sewer sludge from Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2 is spread. Crops are restricted to
those for non -human consumption, which is currently alfalfa, hay, and cotton. The City owns a
total of 5,000 acres located just south of the treatment plant.
The site is currently entitled with a planned unit development plan (Tract map 6835) for 365
single family residential lots. The City -own property was changed to urban use because it was
part of a potential trade agreement between the City and Mr. Mel Heinemann. However, the
agreement between the City and Mr. Heinemann never came to fruition. The City does not
intend to develop the property. All land immediately surrounding the project site is agriculture
or rural use. The single family use to the north has an approved Tract Map 6862 that is being
annexed into the City.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this General Plan
Amendment and Zone Change on March 15, 2012, and recommended approval to the City
Council. No one spoke in opposition to the request.
Staff determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, a Notice of Exemption was prepared, in accordance with CEQA.

Resolution of the Council of the City of Bakersfield Adopting a Policy Establishing
Standards for the Development of Taft Highway (SR 119) (Wards 6 and 7).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: At the January 11, 2012, Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare a
Council Policy for Taft Highway similar to the one adopted for 7th Standard Road. Policy
Resolution No. 112 -07, establishing standards for the development of 7th Standard Road, was
adopted on June 6, 2007. The City of Bakersfield, City of Shafter, and County of Kern adopted
a uniform expressway standard to be used along this joint jurisdiction corridor. The 7th Standard
Road Policy Resolution set forth requirements for landscape widths, access and signal location.
This Administrative Report adopts development standards for Taft Highway. Taft Highway (SR
119), which is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, falls within both the City of Bakersfield and
County of Kern. City staff worked with both County and Caltrans staff to develop a design
standard as similar as possible to that used for 7th Standard Road. This standard includes the
requirement for landscaped medians, a wider than usual landscaping on the street side,
limitations on the location of full access intersections, and the elimination of other street
accesses - i.e. driveways or local streets. The landscaping requirement for 7th Standard Road
was for 30 feet behind the sidewalk, so the Taft Highway design standard includes the same
requirement.
CalTrans will allow landscaped median within their right -of -way only if the City or County
maintains this landscaping pursuant to an agreement. Also, the 30 feet of landscaping with a
parkway -type (detached) sidewalk or multi -use trail would also have to be maintained by the
City. Similar to 7th Standard Road, access is restricted to intersections - no driveway access is
allowed unless the property is commercial and a fourth auxiliary lane is constructed for the
frontage of the property. The intersection locations are limited to arterials and collectors - i.e. at
approximately ' /z mile intervals.
Both the County of Kern and Caltrans are in agreement with the proposed standards for Taft
Highway.
This policy, once approved, will only affect future developments that front on Taft Highway, not
those that have already received approval from the Planning.

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 Adopting Sewer Connection Fees Pursuant to Section 14.12.380 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: The Bakersfield Municipal Code (BMC) requires Sewer Connection Fees to be
established each fiscal year by resolution. The current fee is $4,000 per single family dwelling unit and
the one -time fee is collected at the same time building permit fees are paid.
Staff is recommending the sewer fee connection charges remain at their current levels for another
twelve months; thus no increases are being proposed at this time. The sewer connection fees collected
each year are used to help pay the annual debt service of the wastewater enterprise. The 2012 -13
proposed budget estimates $2.5 million of connection fees will be collected and applied toward the
estimated $12.7 million of wastewater enterprise debt service. The balance of the debt service will be
paid with other revenues of the wastewater enterprise, including residential and commercial user fees.
If approved, this resolution will keep the current sewer connection flee structure in place for the 2012 -13
fiscal year.

BACKGROUND: For the fourth straight year, staff proposes no increase to refuse rates for Fiscal
Year 2012/13. Although, the refuse hauler's contract will increase by 2.1 % (adjusted annually by
the Consumer Price Index), sufficient fund balance exists within the Refuse Fund to cover the
increased costs associated with the haulers' contract. In light of the present economic and
employment climate, staff proposes the use of Refuse Fund balance to avoid imposing a rate
increase to the general public.
However, in order for the County to collect residential refuse charges on the Fiscal Year

SUBJECT: Proposed Bond Refunding of Selected Assessment District Bonds
1. Resolution of the City of Bakersfield to approve the form and substance of a Reimbursement
Agreement with California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) for
District Formation and Declaring its preliminary intention to refund specified limited
obligation bonds, and appointing an Underwriter, Bond Counsel and Authorizing staff to
work with the CSCDA to hire a Reassessment Engineer to prepare a report thereon; and
2. Transfer $10,000 council contingency funds and transfer $60,000 savings from the elections
account to the professional consulting line item within the non - departmental budget in the
General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution and budgetary transfers.
BACKGROUND: The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is a Joint
Powers Authority authorized to form and administer Assessment Districts within the boundaries of their
member agencies. This same Authority also runs the Statewide Communities Infrastructure Program
(SCIP). The City of Bakersfield is a member of both the CSCDA and SCIP.
At the request of the Housing Ad -Hoc Council Committee, City staff has been working with consultants
from CSCDA for the past couple of months regarding the possible refinancing of some of the City's
1915 Bond Act Assessment Districts. The purpose of the refinancing would be to take advantage of
current low interest rates and refinance selected districts to lower the interest cost currently being
charged to homeowners in the form of annual assessments.
The CSCDA has reviewed the City's twenty -three (23) active districts and they have identified twelve
(12) of the districts as potential candidates that meet their refunding criteria. Some of the districts only
have a few years remaining until they are paid in full and a refunding at this point in time does not
generate enough savings to warrant the cost of refunding. Other districts are relatively new and do not
carry the increased valuations needed to achieve the preferred rating and lower interest rates.
The twelve (12) districts being considered for refunding carry an outstanding principal debt balance of
$24,080,000. The CSCDA estimates the refinancing will save the property owners about $3.4 million
over the remaining terms of the districts; which varies from six to 12 years. The savings will be spread
proportionately to the some 8,400 individual parcels. The property owners who live in these districts
nks
PABond IssuesWdmin - ad refunding reimb agrmt with csdca june 2012.doc
May 25, 2006
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
should see their annual assessment drop by $30 to $40 per year. Thus, for example, a property owner
who lives in a district with ten years assessments remaining should expect to save between $300 and
$400 as a result of this proposed refinancing.
In order to accomplish the bond refunding process the CSCDA is requiring the City to approve the form
and substance of a reimbursement agreement to protect the CSCDA in the unlikely event that the
district refunding process is not completed. The general plan is to fund all of the costs associated with
the refunding out of the initial savings generated by the bonds being refinanced. The estimated one-
time costs of the refinancing are approximately $520,000. Some of these costs are "contingent" costs,
meaning that the attorney or consultant only gets paid if the bond deal is completed. Other costs, such
as the Engineers report and the bond rating fees are considered "non- contingent" costs, meaning that
these people expect to be paid regardless of whether the bonds are ever sold.
The reimbursement agreement being proposed would obligate the City to cover the one -time "non -
contingent" costs; estimated at $70,000. If (as expected) the bond sale is completed, then all formation
costs will be paid from the bond proceeds and the City will not incur any expense.. However, if for some
reason, the bond sale is not completed, then the City would be expected to pay the non - contingent
costs of approximately $70,000. This payment would need to come from the City's General Fund. A
combination of Council contingency funds and one time savings from the non - departmental elections
expense account are being proposed as the funding source, but no expense will be incurred unless the
bond sale fails and is not completed.
Additionally, the reimbursement agreement contemplates the CSCDA to provide annual administration
services. District administrative costs are currently a component of the annual assessment billed each
year to each property owner within the given districts. This practice would continue and the annual
costs paid to CSCDA would be borne by the property owners. We do not anticipate any General Funds
to be required regarding district administration charges. We anticipate the reimbursement agreement
to be approved at a future Council meeting date in conjunction with other bond refunding actions.

Agreements for on -call maintenance services at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2
and Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 (Wards 1 & 6):
1. Agreement with Crider Construction, Inc. (not to exceed $200,000).
2. Agreement with Flo- Systems, Inc. (not to exceed $200,000).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreements.
BACKGROUND: Treatment Plants No. 2 and 3 often require maintenance and repair services
beyond the expertise of staff. The on -call wastewater maintenance agreements will provide
staff with additional maintenance support at Wastewater Treatment Plants 2 and 3.
On January 30, 2012, the City issued Request for Qualifications and Fee Proposals for on -call
wastewater maintenance services. On February 29, 2012, the following four contractors
submitted a Statement of Qualifications, along with their Hourly Billing Rate Schedule.
• Crider Construction, Inc. (Bakersfield, CA.)
• Flo- Systems, Inc. (Burbank, CA.)
• GSE Construction Company, Inc. (Livermore, CA.)
• W.M. Lyles Co. (Fresno, CA.)
City staff recommends approval of agreements with the following two contractors based
upon their qualifications and fee proposal being the most favorable to the City:
• Crider Construction, Inc.
• Flo- Systems, Inc.
Each contractor specializes in specific maintenance services. Crider Construction specializes
in welding and pipefitting and Flo- Systems specializes in wastewater equipment, pumps and
controls.
Since specific scope of work has not yet been determined, the compensation amount for
each contractor is set at a not -to- exceed aggregate total of $200,000 for a two -year period.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to fund these agreements. Funding source for these

SUBJECT: Design of Manor Street Bridge Retrofit at Kern River (Ward 3):
1. Agreement with WKE Inc. ($59,900.00) for design of Project.
2. Appropriate $53,118 Federal Seismic Retrofit and Bridge Rehabilitation funds
to the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the
SAFETEA -LU Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND: This project, in general, is to complete a seismic retrofit design to strengthen
and repair the existing bridge on Manor Street Bridge at Kern River to sustain current seismic
loadings and remediate other deficiencies, ultimately improving the bridge's life. This is the first
of multiple phases for design services required for this Retrofit Project. Phase 1 includes scoping
of design work; specifically, the Consultant will recommend which option should be used to
retrofit the bridge. Subsequent design work will then provide detailed drawings for the
proposed method. Design work falls under the purview of Caltrans since this retrofit project is
predominantly federally funded and thus falls under Caltrans Highway Bridge Program.
Caltrans must first approve phase 1 recommendations before funding is made available for
subsequent phases.
Estimated projected design costs, including environmental documentation, for the Project are
$750,000. Design work will be phased due to the complexity of the project and funding
availability. Caltrans has authorized $60,000 for the first phase. Of this amount, $53,118 will be
funded with federal funds. The remainder of $6,882 will be funded with gas tax revenues.
Future phases of design work will be appropriated when federal funding becomes available
and Caltrans' milestones are met. This Agreement will be amended in the future to include
subsequent phases of design work and additional compensation.
In March 2012, staff began the Qualification Based Selection (QBS) process to select a design
consultant to prepare construction documents for the project. A Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) was sent out to interested firms. On April 12, 2012, the City received four responses. A
Selection Committee comprised of senior staff from the Public Works Department reviewed
these responses. The Selection Committee determined that all four firms should be invited to
interview. At the interviews, each firm demonstrated their proposed performance on the
project and submitted their fee proposal to do the work. The firms invited to interview were
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (Los Angeles), Quincy Engineering, Inc. (Sacramento), STV Inc.

(Los Angeles) and WKE, Inc. (Santa Ana).
Interviews were conducted on May 8, 2012. The Selection Committee rated and ranked each
of the firms. Staff recommends award of the agreement to WKE based upon their
qualifications. WKE, Inc. has the 30+ years of project management and design experience on
transportation projects throughout California. Specifically, WKE, Inc. team prepared plans and
specifications for previous Highway Bridge Program Projects for the City. There is no General
Fund impact associated with this agreement.

SUBJECT: Kern River Interests Cost Sharing Agreement relating to United States Army Corps
of Engineers Restrictions on Use of Isabella Reservoir Storage Space, City's pro -
rata share not to exceed $42,000. (Wards 1 through 7)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On August 1, 2006 the City's Water Resources Department entered into a
costs sharing agreement (06 -13 WB) with Buena Vista Water Storage District, Kern County
Water Agency, Kern Delta Water District, and North Kern Water Storage District so that expert
consultants could be retained to advise the parties on issues regarding the Isabella Dam and
Reservoir and to ensure that the Corps complete the necessary structural investigations
expeditiously and with the least impact on the Isabella Dam and Reservoir. That agreement
expired in August 2007. The parties again entered into a second agreement (WR10 -004),
which commenced March 17, 2010 and terminated in April 2012.
The parties again need to enter into an agreement to retain expert consultants to assist the
parties in evaluating the Corps process in modifying the Isabella Dam. The Corps are currently
in the process of finalizing their draft Environmental Impact Statement for the project.
Planning, engineering, and design of the project by the Corps are expected to occur during
the time period starting October 2012 and ending September 2015. Construction is expected
to start in October 2015.
At its May 16, 2012 meeting, the Water Board recommended that this agreement be
approved by City Council.
The term for the proposed agreement will be three years and will terminate in June 2015.
The funding limit for the agreement is $300,000 over the three year term of the agreement. The
City's pro -rata share of the funding limit is not to exceed $42,000 (14% of the total) over the
three year term.
Funding for this agreement is included in the Water Resources Department FY 2012 -2013
budget.

SUBJECT: Westside Parkway Engineering Design Services (TRIP) (Wards 2, 4 and 5)
1.) Approve Amendment No. 5 to Agreement 07 -082 with AECOM USA, INC., for
Engineering Design Services for the Westside Parkway Project ($950,000.00; for a
revised total contract amount of $16,606,684,00),
2.) Appropriate $950,000,00 Gas Tax Fund Balance to the Public Works Capital
Improvement budget within the Gas Tax fund,
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment and Appropriation.
BACKGROUND: AECOM USA, INC, (formerly DMJM Harris Inc.) is currently under contract to
provide Engineering Design Services for the Westside Parkway Project, This design work has
encompassed all the freeway mainline, interchanges, bridges, and utility work from Mohawk
Street to the westerly project terminus at Heath Road /Stockdale Highway.
Phase 2 construction of the Westside Parkway includes a new freeway from Mohawk Street to
Allen Road. As part of this project, there were several utilities (petroleum pipelines, private water
systems, etc.) that were in conflict with the new freeway, These utilities were existing at the time
the City bought the property for the freeway, and so were planned to be relocated by the utility
owners at City cost. But instead of having the utility owners design and then relocate at City
cost, it was agreed to have AECOM complete this utility relocation design, and this task was not
in their original scope of work. One of these utilities was the design of two concrete box culverts
for the Cross Valley Canal (CVC) which are owned and operated by the Kern County Water
Agency (KCWA). While a previous amendment Included this design work, unanticipated
complexities associated with the design of these box culverts and the operation of the CVC
resulted in AECOM having to perform additional analysis not originally contemplated in order to
obtain final approval from KCWA of their designs.
Similarly, AECOM was required to perform additional unanticipated analysis for the Calloway
Storm Drain Pump Station design before Caltrans would approve the design. Also, the bidding of
the project was separated into a base bid and 5, distinct additive bid alternates. This added
work not originally contemplated with the base contract.
Phase 6, which is the portion of the project from Allen Road (including the Allen Road

interchange) west to Heath Road /Stockdale Highway, has also been divided into three distinct
phases. Phase 6A was to relocate utilities in advance of Phase 613, which was the construction of
the Allen Road Interchange. Finally, Phase 6C is the construction of the new freeway from Allen
Road to Heath Road /Stockdale Highway. To expedite Phase 6A, AECOM was asked to design
the KCWA waterline and the KCWA electrical lines that were originally to be designed by KCWA
(similar to the box culverts above). This effort was not in their original scope of work. In addition,
when separating the Allen Road Interchange project from the new freeway project, several
studies had to be prepared to ensure that drainage and locations of retaining walls, utilities, and
traffic signals, being constructed with the interchange project would all be compatible with the
future freeway project.
Due to the voluminous nature of the agreement exhibits, they are on file in the City Clerk's Office for review.

SUBJECT: Contract Change Order Nos. 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 to Agreement No. 11 -0 11 with MGE
Underground, Inc. (a credit of $59,875.67; for a revised not to exceed amount of
$4,663,473.98) for the Construction of the Westside Parkway Phase 6A Project (TRIP)
(Ward 4),
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Orders.
BACKGROUND: The Westside Parkway Phase 6A Utility Relocation Project consists of relocating
approximately 3000 feet of 16 -inch waterline, about 2800 feet of 36 -inch sewer main line, and the
construction of a concrete box culvert for the canal that supplies the Rosedale -Rio Bravo Water
Storage District recharge operations. The project also includes the construction of a detour for
Allen Road in the area of the Westside Parkway. All this work is in preparation for the Westside
Parkway Phase 6B project, which is the Allen Road Interchange /Bridge, and which started
construction in March of 2012.
Change Order No. 4 provides for the deletion of installing 621 linear feet of 36" RCP /PVC lined
pipe and some associated sewer manholes for the project. This pipe had been shown in the bid
plans as new pipeline replacing some of the existing sewer pipeline. However, during
construction, it was determined that this existing sewer pipeline could remain in -place and
continue to be used. The contractor had already purchased the replacement pipe;
consequently, the City will take possession of the pipe for future use. This change order results in a
net decrease of $104,058.31.
Change Order No. 5 provides for the elimination of bid item No. 24, Class 2 Aggregate Base, in its
entirety. The bid plans for the construction of the Allen Road detour showed to include
aggregate base as part of the roadway structural section; but this detour is only a temporary road
that will be replaced by the final road in less than a year. Therefore, it was agreed that this item
of work could be deleted from the project. This change order results in a net decrease, of
$113,012.00.
Change Order No. 6 provides for the installation of a 12" steel casing across Alien Road which will
facilitate the future relocation of a major electrical line owned by the Kern County Water Agency
(KCWA). Also, included in this change order is the removal of some associated existing KCWA
power poles that conflicted with the construction of the canal box culvert. This work was not part
of the original construction bid plans and was work that KCWA was going to perform; but to
expedite this work and the project, it was agreed by KCWA to have the City contractor perform
this work rather than KCWA, who owes and operates this electrical line. The City already has an
Tdw:G: \GROUPDATWDMINRPT \2012 \06- 06\Admin Rpt CCO4,5,6,11,12 WSP -6A Rev.docx
agreement with KCWA to be reimbursed for this work (Agreement 11 -081). This change order
results in a net increase of $41,090.51,
Change Order No. 11 provides for the increase of Imported Borrow material. The quantity for this
bid item was incorrectly shown in the bid documents, resulting in the need for an additional
10,922 cubic yards of material for completion of the project, This change order results in a net
increase of $41,168.00.
Change Order No, 12 provides for modifications to a 30 -inch waterline to be installed by the
contractor. This waterline has to be installed at a lower elevation than indicated in the original
plans. This change order provides compensation to the contractor for these modifications which
require more excavation and compaction efforts as well as additional concrete work not
included in the original plans. This change order results in a net increase of $74,936.13.
Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order Nos. 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12, These change
orders result in a 0.4 % total increase to date over the original contract amount as illustrated
below:
• Original Contract Amount = $ 4,644,222.40
• Previous Change Orders = $ 79,127.25
• Current Change Order Nos. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 = $ - 59,875.67
• Amended Contract Agreement after Change Order = $ 4,663,473.98
Net Increase to date = $ 19,251.58
Sufficient funds have previously been budgeted to fund these contract change orders.

I/&-
1. Accept bid from Absolute Accuracy, Incorporated in the amount of
$47,851.20 for the purchase of GPS Survey Equipment for the Public Works
Department, Construction Division. (Citywide)
2. Appropriate and transfer $47,860 General Fund balance to the Public
Works Department's Operating Budget within the Equipment
Management Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of bid and approval of appropriation
and transfer of funds.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over one hundred (100) bidders for survey
equipment. Three (3) bids were received in response to the solicitation.
Survey crews within the Public Works Department's Construction Division use Global Position
Systems (GPS) for surveying work. Two GPS units are assigned to the Construction Division.
However, one of these units is damaged and no longer operable. This unit is obsolete and
parts are no longer available. Because of advances in technology relating to GPS units and
the need for timely replacement, units are now purchased out of the Equipment
Management Fund to ensure adequate funds are collected for eventual replacement. While
the most current GPS unit was purchased out of the Equipment Management Fund, the
damaged GPS unit was acquired before the policy of purchasing GPS units through the
Equipment Management Fund. Therefore, staff recommends transferring General Fund
balance to the Equipment Management Fund for purchase of this unit. Consequently,
subsequent replacement of the GPS unit will occur through the Equipment Management
Fund.
Three (3) bids were received as follows:
Bidder Amount
Absolute Accuracy, Inc., Los Angeles, CA $47,851.20
Electro- Optical Instruments, Co., San Diego, CA $50,858.22
GeoNav Satellite Systems, Ventura, CA $52,193.21
Staff finds the low bid submitted by Absolute Accuracy, Incorporated to be acceptable and
recommends approval of the purchase of GPS Survey Equipment.

SUBJECT: Lighting Retrofit at the Rabobank Arena and Convention Center
1. Accept bid and approve contract to A -C Electric Company, Bakersfield,
($197,874) for lighting retrofit at the Rabobank Arena and Convention
Center. (Ward 2)
2. Approve loan documents from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (P.G. &
E.) in the amount of $197,874 to fund lighting retrofit project.
3. - Appropriate $197,874 Loan Proceeds to the Public Works Capital
Improvement Budget within the Capital Outlay Fund for the lighting retrofit
project at the Rabobank Arena and Convention Center.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: Invitations to bid were sent to over four hundred (400) electrical contractors
for the lighting retrofit project. One (1) bid was received in response to the solicitation.
The project to be performed consists, in general, of removing existing fixtures and furnishing
and installing specified fixtures approved by P.G. & E. for portions of the interior and exterior
lighting at the Rabobank Arena and Convention Center. In addition, the work consists of
retrofitting some existing interior fixtures and replacing the safety light fixtures for the adjacent
parking lots just south of the railroad tracks.
The project is proposed to be funded with a special zero interest loan from P.G. & E. where the
repayment of the loan will be a component of our monthly utility bills. P.G. & E. estimates the
monthly savings that will be generated from the energy efficiency project and they structure
the repayment terms of the loan to align with the monthly electricity savings. The loan will
begin upon certification of project completion by P.G. & E. and the contract with A -C Electric
is structured to where they do not get paid unless they meet the project certification
requirements. The loan repayment is structured over a 53 month period. During this
repayment period it is expected that our monthly electricity bills will be approximately the
same (or slightly lower) than they are currently. After the 53 month period has passed and the
loan has been repaid, the City will enjoy the full savings per month of the more efficient facility
in the form of lower electricity bills.

SUBJECT: Authorize the Finance Director to write off accounts receivable in various funds totaling
$98,652.76 and forward non bankrupt accounts to a collection agency for additional
collection efforts.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: The staff has exhausted all possible means at its disposal to collect these past due
accounts. Generally, individuals cannot be located or bankruptcies are involved and further. collection
efforts would result in excessive cost. Accounts not involving bankruptcy will be forwarded to a collection
agency (H.P. Sears) for further action. Historically 5 -7% of City accounts forwarded to a collection agency
are eventually recovered.
Account detail is attached. The amount recommended is made up of the following account categories:
Commercial Sewer Service & Solid Waste (Refuse)
Residential Sewer Service & Solid Waste (Refuse)
Risk Management (Property Damage Claims)
Police (Alarm Violations & Misc. Activity)
Fire & Fire Safety (Environmental Services)

18,622.02
3,556.00
5,391.00
23,006.32
TOTAL $98,652.76
The recommended write off amount is about 0.17% of total billing, less than 1/2 %. The private
sector uses 1 -2% as an acceptable write off benchmark. Bankruptcy proceedings make up 31.80%
($31,367.09) of the write off amount. In the bankruptcy cases, claims have been filed with the court where
applicable. Once bankruptcy is filed, the debtor is protected by the court and we are prohibited by law
from further collection efforts.
The collection process for invoiced accounts begins after an invoice is unpaid for 60 days with a computer
generated past due notice which continues every 30 days. Additionally, past due letters are sent and
phone contact is initiated at 90 days delinquent. Larger balances are given priority attention.

Public Hearing to consider the proposed expenditure plan for the 2010 -12
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding (S.L.E.S.F.).
Appropriate $5,200 State Grant revenues to the Police Operating Budget
within the S.L.E.S.F. Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed expenditures and
appropriations.
BACKGROUND: Since the passage of Assembly Bill (AB3229) Citizen's Option for Public Safety in
FYI 996-97, the City of Bakersfield Police Department has received an annual sum from the State's
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (S.L.E.S.F.). The program was designed to provide
State funds to local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of addressing current front line
law enforcement needs. For each year the City receives monies from the S.L.E.S.F., the Chief of
Police must submit written requests to the City Council specifying the front line law enforcement
needs and those personnel, equipment and programs that are necessary to meet those needs;
and the City must conduct a public hearing to consider the requests. The allocation amount
received this year is $380,182.00.
Per CA Government Code 30062, "moneys allocated from a Supplemental Law Enforcement
Services Fund ( SLESF) to a recipient entity shall be expended exclusively to provide front line law
enforcement services. These moneys shall supplement existing services, and shall not be used to
supplant any existing funding for law enforcement services provided by that entity."
An appropriation of $374,982.00 State Grant Revenues to the Police Operating Budget within the
S.L.E.S.F. Fund was approved by City Council on 02/15/12. Since then, an unexpected allocation
from the state was received from the State in the amount of $5,200.00. This additional amount is
included in the estimated schedule below.
* The dollar amounts in the proposed budget below are estimates. Per CA Government Code
30061(e), any S.L.E.S.F. moneys received in 2010 -12 must be expended or encumbered no later
than June 30, 2012. "Any local agency that has not met this requirement shall remit unspent
SLESF moneys to the Controller for deposit into the General Fund." If department needs change
or the amounts spent differ from those proposed, the Police Department will expend or
encumber the differences in accordance with the guidelines governing SLESF moneys (CA
Government Code 30061 - 30065).

State Route 58 (Rosedale Highway) Widening Project (TRIP) (Wards 2 and 4):
Resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with
Section 15074 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and
approval of the mitigation monitoring program prepared in compliance with
California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of resolution certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
(SCH # 2011122028), adoption of the mitigation monitoring program prepared for the project,
and selection of the Build Alternative.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bakersfield, in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), is proposing the State Route 58 (Rosedale Highway) Widening Project. The project is
located within the City of Bakersfield and in portions of unincorporated Kern County. The
project would build two additional lanes (one in each direction) on Rosedale Highway from
Allen Road to east of Gibson Street, where the improvements would transition to the existing
lane configurations. Other improvements in(,', ,de minor changes, such as restriping approach
lanes to provide an additional turn lane on slu, streets approaches to State Route 58. With the
proposed improvements, State Route 58 would increase from a four -lane to six -lane roadway
from Allen Road to State Route 99. As a future improvement, a grade- separated rail crossing
would be constructed where Rosedale Highway crosses the San Joaquin Valley Railroad rail line
between Mohawk Street and Landco Drive. This grade- separation is expected to be
constructed by 2025.
The project would be built in three construction phases. The first phase would be from east of
Gibson Street to west of Calloway Drive. The second phase would then extend the widening
further west to Allen Road. Construction of the second phase would be dependent upon
funding availability. Construction of the future grade- separated rail crossing would be the final,
third phase.
Before finalizing the environmental document, Caltrans is relinquishing the portion of State
Route 58 from Allen Road to Mohawk Street to the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern,
making that segment of the roadway a local facility rather than a state route. This
relinquishment has been previously approved by the City Council and the Board of Supervisors,
and will become final on June 25, 2012.
G: \GROUPDAT \ADMINRPT \2012 \06 -06 \Rosedale Admin.docx
The City of Bakersfield, as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lead agency, and
the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), as the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) lead agency (as assigned by the Federal Highway Administration), have prepared an
Initial Study /Environmental Assessment (IS /EA) in anticipation of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) to be approved by the City, and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
to be approved by Caltrans. The IS /EA examines the potential environmental impacts of
proposed improvements to State Route 58 (Rosedale Highway) from west of Allen Road (PM
46.1) to State Route 99 (PM 51.7) . Two alternatives are considered- one Build Alternative and a
No Build Alternative.
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 impacts associated with
the project would be less than significant with implementation of standard conditions and
mitigation measures. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA, a Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) was prepared. The MND was circulated on December 9, 2011 to start the 47 -day public
review period, which exceeds the 30 -day review period required by Section 15073 of the State
CEQA Guidelines. A notice of availability was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the
project site and was published on December 9, 23, and 30, in The Bakersfield Californian and
the El Popular newspapers. The Planning Commission and staff conducted a hearing on the
project and MND on January 5, 2012 to receive comments. Copies of all comments received
on the MND, as well as responses to those comments, are included in Appendix N of the Initial
Study /MND.
Mitigation measures recommended as part of project approval address impacts to land use,
zoning and community impacts; hazardous materials; noise; wetlands and biological resources;
and climate change. In addition, standard conditions (measures that are routinely applied to
projects) have been identified for community impacts; traffic and transportation; cultural
resources; hazardous materials; air quality; and noise. With implementation of these measures,
all impacts would be reduced to less than significant.
Based on the analysis provided in the MND, the Build Alternative is recommended for selection.
This alternative minimizes the potential impacts on the community and provides enhanced
transportation. The Build Alternative is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan,
the 2011 Regional Transportation Plan, and the California Federal Statewide Transportation
Program.
