Recommendation:
(1) Find that the proposed approval is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21080.25, the statutory CEQA exemption adopted specifically for the LA-RICS
project. To the extent any leased circuit work that may occur outside of the PSBN
site(s) is needed to provide connectivity to the site(s), such work is categorically
exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15303, and
15304; and
(2) Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Site Access
Agreement with the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System
(LA-RICS) Authority, in substantially the same form as with the staff report.
Approval of the Site Access Agreement does not constitute a commitment or
obligation to participate in LA-RICS as a continuing member of the LA-RICS
Authority.

Recommendation:
(1) Find that the approval of the proposed contract amendment is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to
projects that may have an effect of the environment; and

Broadband “not-to-exceed” a total amount of $180,000 during the three year term
($60,000 annually, including taxes and fees) for the delivery of a wholesale
internet access circuit to the City’s internet system, in substantially the same form
as submitted with the staff report. The proposed contract will increase the City’s
pre-tax monthly bill by $486, from $3,764 to $4,250, and double transmission
speeds from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps. It is further recommended that the City
Council find that the contract is exempt from competitive bidding requirements
pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code § 2.17.12(A)(6) because this is a contract for
the acquisition or transmission of telecommunications for the Gas & Electric
Department and it would be commercially unreasonable to procure these services
through standard bidding or request for proposal procedures, given that that the
Special City Council Meeting Minutes

City is already connected to Broadband network, and switching carriers would be
too expensive to be in the City’s best interests.
Police Department

Authority User Equipment.

16. Request for Approval of Additional Fund Allocation for OneSource Distributors,
LLC Purchase Order 055.0002176.
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the approval requested is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with Section 15273 because CEQA does
not apply to “purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment or materials; and that
even if it were subject to CEQA, it would be exempt pursuant to 15061(b)(3), the
general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the
environment because the cable referenced will be used merely to replace existing
older cable; and
(2) Authorize the City Administrator to approve additional fund allocation in the
amount of $22,372.78 to existing Purchase Order 055.0002176 with OneSource
Distributors (“OneSource”). A power cable purchase from OneSource was
originally authorized by City Council in June 2014 for a total amount not to
exceed $388,898.00. Due to the complex nature of measuring precise lengths of
cable, a 10% tolerance is generally employed by suppliers as an industry practice.
The additional cable which was provided to the City after cutting occurred has
affected the total cost of the materials. The approval of additional funds would
thereby increase the maximum authorized expenditure from $388,898.00 to
$411,270.78, and would fully satisfy the payment due to OneSource.
Director of Gas and Electric Carlos Fandino reported on the recommendation.
It was moved by Maisano and seconded by Martinez to approve the additional funds allocated to
OneSource Distributors, LLC’s Purchase Order. Motion carried, 3-0.
17. Approval of Change Order No. 1 to the existing Services Agreement with Power
Engineers, Inc., for Distributed Generation Impact Study Services.
Recommendation:
(1) Find the approval of Change Order No. 1 to the Services Agreement is exempt
under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with
Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may
have an effect on the environment; and
(2) Authorize the City Administrator to execute Change Order No. 1, in substantially
the same form as submitted with the staff report, to the services agreement with
Power Engineers, Inc. (“PEI”) for services regarding a distributed generation
impact study. In addition to the subtasks summarized in Task 4 of the original
scope of work, PEI will leverage and augment existing analyses to complete a
new Cost of Service (“COS”) Study. The proposed change order reflects an
increase not-to-exceed $36,500, for a grand total not-to-exceed $255,280.00 over
the one year term of the agreement.
Director of Gas and Electric Carlos Fandino conducted the oral report on the proposed Change
Order.
