MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL ROBESON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR
BY: JILL MCPEEK, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT NO. F018 TO
ADMINISTERING AGENCY-STATE AGREEMENT FOR FEDERAL AID
PROJECT NO. 05-5199F15 AND AN AWARD OF CONTRACT TO
QUINCON, INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE HABITAT MITIGATION
PHASE OF THE BRIDGE STREET BRIDGE REHABILITATION
PROJECT, PW 2020-08
DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2020
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approve Program Supplement No. F018 to allow for Federal Highway Bridge Program
(HBP) reimbursement and award a construction contract for the Habitat Mitigation Phase
of the Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation project.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds in the amount of $250,000 were secured
for the subject project based on original estimates. It is now estimated that an additional
$166,060 is needed to fully fund the project. A transfer of Local Sales Tax from the Annual
Pavement Management Program budget is recommended. Concurrently, staff has
applied for additional HBP funding. Staff time will be necessary to coordinate construction
activities with the contractor and engineering consultants.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council: 1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to
execute Program Supplement No. F018 to Administering Agency-State Agreement for
Federal-aid Project No. 05-5199F15; 2) Award a contract for the Habitat Mitigation Phase
of the Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project to Quincon Inc. in the amount of
$317,419; 3) Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders for 10% of the
contract amount, $317,419, for unanticipated costs during the construction phase of the
project (total construction costs = $317,419 + $31,741 = $349,160); and 4) transfer
$166,060 of Local Sales Tax funds from the Annual Pavement Management Program
budget to the subject project.
BACKGROUND:
On August 25, 2020, the City Council approved the revegetation plan and specifications
for the Habitat Mitigation Implementation, Maintenance, Monitoring, and Reporting for the

Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project. The revegetation plan and specifications
contain provisions for a habitat mitigation and restoration implementation plan, and a five-
year maintenance, monitoring and reporting plan. Because habitat mitigation is typically
performed by specialized contractors and over a five-year window, the City coordinated
with Caltrans to separate this post-construction phase of the project from the construction
phase. This allows the City to close out the construction contract with Granite
Construction Company at the completion of the bridge rehabilitation, and allows a
separate contractor to maintain and monitor the planting it installs.
In order for a local agency to expend Federal-aid funds, it must enter into a general Master
Agreement with the State. The Master Agreement contains general provisions and
identifies responsibilities of each agency for any Federally funded projects. Once a Master
Agreement is in place, the City and the State can enter into a Program Supplement, which
contains project specific covenants or remarks that are incorporated in the Master
Agreement. The City entered into the Master Agreement on August 7, 2018.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
As part of the environmental clearance and permitting for the Bridge Street Bridge
Rehabilitation project, the City is required to implement its Habitat Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan (HMMP).
On September 24, 2020, one bid was received for the Habitat Mitigation Phase of the
Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation project. The bid, from Quincon, Inc., was in the
amount of $317,419. The bid provided by Quincon, Inc has been determined to be
responsive and Quincon, Inc. has been determined to be a responsible bidder.
In order to fully fund the Habitat Mitigation Phase, an additional $166,060 to the previously
secured $250,000 of HBP funds is needed as shown below:
Construction $ 317,419
Construction Contingencies 31,741
Engineering Services 22,800
Construction Management/Inspection 44,100
Total Expenditures $ 416,060
Staff has applied for additional HBP funding. However, HBP funding for the State is
extremely constrained at this time and it is unknown if or when additional HBP for this
project can be secured. Therefore, staff is recommending a transfer of $166,060 of Local
Sales Tax funds from the Annual Pavement Management Program budget to fully fund
the project.

Before the City can begin invoicing for HBP reimbursement of the work performed, a
program supplement must be executed. A Resolution must be adopted by the City
Council that clearly identifies the official authorized to execute Program Supplement No.
F018 to Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal-aid Project No. 05-5199F15.
Site preparation and planting is expected to be performed in November 2020, depending
on the bridge rehabilitation construction schedule. Delivery of the final completion report
is anticipated at the end of December 2025.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendations;
2. Do not approve staff’s recommendations and request further information;
3. Modify staff’s recommendation and approve; or
4. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The project will mitigate impacts to riparian and wetland habitats associated with the
Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation project. Approving the Program Supplement will allow
the City to request $250,000 reimbursement of the HBP funds secured so far. Awarding
the construction contract will allow for planting in November 2020 as outlined in the
HMMP.
DISADVANTAGES:
A transfer of Local Sales Tax funds takes away funding from other street projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Caltrans, as lead agency, has determined that the project is categorically excluded from
the requirements to prepare and Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) pursuant to
23 CFR 771.117(d): activity (d)(13) covering bridge rehabilitation that avoids an adverse
effect to historic properties under the National Historic Preservation Act.
The City, as lead agency, has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources
Code §21000 et seq., and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations
(CCR) §15000 et seq. for the Bridge Street Bridge Rehabilitation project, including the
habitat mitigation phase of the project addressed in this proposed action.

1.A. The ADMINISTERING AGENCY will advertise, award and administer this project in
accordance with the current published Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
B. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that it will only proceed with work authorized for
specific phase(s) with an "Authorization to Proceed" and will not proceed with future
phase(s) of this project prior to receiving an "Authorization to Proceed" from the STATE
for that phase(s) unless no further State or Federal funds are needed for those future
phase(s).
C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds which might
be made available by future Federal obligations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by
use of a STATE-approved "Authorization to Proceed" and Finance Letter.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that Federal funds available for reimbursement will
be limited to the amounts obligated by the Federal Highway Administration.
D. Award information shall be submitted by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to the
District Local Assistance Engineer within 60 days of project contract award and prior to
the submittal of the ADMINISTERING AGENCY'S first invoice for the construction
contract.
Failure to do so will cause a delay in the State processing invoices for the construction
phase. Attention is directed to Section 15.7 "Award Package" of the Local Assistance
Procedures Manual.
E. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees, as a minimum, to submit invoices at least once
every six months commencing after the funds are encumbered for each phase by the
execution of this Project Program Supplement Agreement, or by STATE's approval of an
applicable Finance Letter. STATE reserves the right to suspend future
authorizations/obligations for Federal aid projects, or encumbrances for State funded
projects, as well as to suspend invoice payments for any on-going or future project by
ADMINISTERING AGENCY if PROJECT costs have not been invoiced by
ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a six-month period.
If no costs have been invoiced for a six-month period, ADMINISTERING AGENCY
agrees to submit for each phase a written explanation of the absence of PROJECT
activity along with target billing date and target billing amount.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to submit the final report documents that collectively
constitute a "Report of Expenditures" within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT
completion. Failure of ADMINISTERING AGENCY to submit a "Final Report of
Expenditures" within 180 days of PROJECT completion will result in STATE imposing
sanctions upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY in accordance with the current Local
Assistance Procedures Manual.
F. Administering Agency shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age,
disability, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any Federal-

assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE Program Implementation Agreement.
The Administering Agency shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR
Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of Federal-assisted
contracts. The Administering Agency's DBE Implementation Agreement is incorporated
by reference in this Agreement. Implementation of the DBE Implementation Agreement,
including but not limited to timely reporting of DBE commitments and utilization, is a legal
obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this
Agreement. Upon notification to the Administering Agency of its failure to carry out its
DBE Implementation Agreement, the State may impose sanctions as provided for under
49 CFR Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18
U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et
seq.).
G. Any State and Federal funds that may have been encumbered for this project are
available for disbursement for limited periods of time. For each fund encumbrance the
limited period is from the start of the fiscal year that the specific fund was appropriated
within the State Budget Act to the applicable fund Reversion Date shown on the State
approved project finance letter. Per Government Code Section 16304, all project funds
not liquidated within these periods will revert unless an executed Cooperative Work
Agreement extending these dates is requested by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY and
approved by the California Department of Finance.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY should ensure that invoices are submitted to the District
Local Assistance Engineer at least 75 days prior to the applicable fund Reversion Date to
avoid the lapse of applicable funds. Pursuant to a directive from the State Controller's
Office and the Department of Finance; in order for payment to be made, the last date the
District Local Assistance Engineer can forward an invoice for payment to the
Department's Local Programs Accounting Office for reimbursable work for funds that are
going to revert at the end of a particular fiscal year is May 15th of the particular fiscal
year. Notwithstanding the unliquidated sums of project specific State and Federal funding
remaining and available to fund project work, any invoice for reimbursement involving
applicable funds that is not received by the Department's Local Programs Accounting
Office at least 45 days prior to the applicable fixed fund Reversion Date will not be paid.
These unexpended funds will be irrevocably reverted by the Department's Division of
Accounting on the applicable fund Reversion Date.
H. As a condition for receiving federal-aid highway funds for the PROJECT, the
Administering Agency certifies that NO members of the elected board, council, or other
key decision makers are on the Federal Government Exclusion List. Exclusions can be
found at www.sam.gov.
A. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall conform to all State statutes, regulations and
procedures (including those set forth in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual and the
