City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-25-2020 Submitted by: Daniel Wall Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT Vernon's Los Angeles River Active Transportation Access Plan Recommendation: No action required by City Council. This is a presentation only. Background: This item is for informational purposes only, and the City Council is not being asked to make any decisions on this item at this time. Metro is leading the LA River Path Project which will design and construct an eight-mile-long bicycle and pedestrian path along the LA River from Elysian Valley through the City of Vernon, closing the longest continuous gap in the existing path along the river. $365 million in Measure M funds was identified for the design and construction of the path. Construction of the LA River Path is expected to be completed by 2027. In 2018, the City of Vernon was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant to develop planning-level concepts for potential active transportation corridors and gateways providing Vernon a connection to Metro's future LA River Path. Vernon's Los Angeles River Active Transportation Access Plan (Attachment 1), prepared by Alta Planning and Design, presents the concepts that were developed for this purpose (Attachment 2). Vernon's Los Angeles River Active Transportation Access Plan is not a construction document, rather a guidance document that can be used to leverage grant funding to build access to and from Metro's LA River path at the discretion of the City Council at sometime in the next 10 or so years. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Attachments: 1. Vernon's LA River Active Transportation Access Plan 2.

OUTREACH MATERIALS 208 Contents 3 INTRODUCTION01 4 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Vision + Goals The goal of this plan is the evaluation of three bikeway corridors and four access points to the future LA River bike path through Vernon. This plan coordinated stakeholders, agencies, residents, and businesses, combined this feedback with a thorough review of existing conditions and previous planning documents, and a robust evaluation process that balances traffic impacts, safety, cost, constructability, and local needs. Findings are summarized throughout the project, design alternatives were conceptualized and evaluated, and the results of these processes are outlined in this document. The Vernon Los Angeles River Path Active Transportation Access Plan (Plan) will build upon two recent efforts undertaken by the City of Vernon to improve active transportation: the Vernon Bicycle Master Plan and the City of Vernon LA River Path Feasibility Study. These two projects identified priority corridors throughout the city and key access points to the LA River from the city’s street network. While Metro has secured funding to design and construct the LA River path through the city, connections to the river, gateways at access points, and key linkages between these access points and destinations within the city are not included in that project and will be the responsibility of the underlying jurisdiction. This plan is being undertaken as a result of the City of Vernon being awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant. Driven by public and stakeholder feedback, the plan recommends corridor and gateway planning level concepts that have the potential to provide pedestrians and bicyclists with safe and comfortable access to the future path. The project is driven by three primary goals. Goal 1: Function The criteria within this category assess the most fundamental characteristics of the corridors and gateways, and facilities failing to pass this category are eliminated from further evaluation. • Should it be done? • Would a bikeway on this corridor be safe, make the needed connections, and minimize disruption to existing traffic patterns? • Does a given gateway location connect to a future LA River alignment, and is there available land for the creation of gateway elements? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Goal 2: Feasibility The types of criteria in this category consider available right-of-way, utility and operational conflicts, and order of magnitude costs. • Can it be done? • Would a bikeway on a given corridor be reasonably feasible to implement with manageable risk and effective use of public funds? • Can a connection reasonably be made from a corridor, to a gateway, to the LA River? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Goal 3: Desirability The criteria in this category speak to the potential benefits to the community and the environment. • Will people use it? • Would a given gateway location allow for park like elements to help draw visitors? • Would a corridor improve comfort for people walking and riding bikes? • Will a given design allow for environmental improvements, such as urban cooling and stormwater capture? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER 5 Introduction I 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r Context Vernon is a dense employment center for the greater Los Angeles region, with major industrial manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping operations within its city limits. Bisected by the LA River, the industries of Vernon are supported by the existing rail, utility, and arterial roadway networks that criss-cross an intricate patchwork of land uses and ownership. The city has only a small residential population but is surrounded by dense residential areas in most directions. Metro's LA River Path Project will design and construct an eight-mile-long bicycle and pedestrian path along the LA River from Elysian Valley through the City of Vernon, closing the longest continuous gap in the existing path along the river. $365 million in Measure M funds was identified for the design and construction of the path. Construction of the LA River Path is expected to be completed by 2027. The Vernon LA River Active Transportation Access Plan study area is comprised of four potential gateway locations at 26th Street, Bandini/Soto, Downey Road, and Atlantic Blvd, and three bicycle and pedestrian corridors including 37th Street, Vernon Avenue, and Leonis/District Boulevard that will connect users to the future LA River Path. In 2018, the City of Vernon was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant to develop planning-level concepts for potential active transportation corridors and gateways that will provide the city a connection to the future LA River Path. This document presents the concepts developed toward this purpose. Three corridors and four gateways are being studied for future connections to the LA River 6 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN I 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g tonSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52 n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r Gateway LEGEND Corridor 0 0.25 0.5 1 Mile 7 Introduction FARMERJOHN BANDINI BLVDSOTO ST37TH STLA RIVER Planning Process The Vernon LA River Active Transportation Access Plan builds upon previous local planning efforts to improve circulation and active transportation options in the area. The study involved a comprehensive review of existing land use, zoning, and roadway conditions to identify opportunities and constraints along the corridors and at the potential gateways. These findings were brought to the community through a multifaceted outreach process between February 2019 and October 2019. The key themes that emerged from the engagement process were a desire to increase safety and comfort on the corridors, while providing a place to relax and recreate at the gateways. These themes are present throughout the concept plan and recommendations for the corridors and gateways. Gateway conceptual plan at Bandini/Soto 8 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN 9’11’11’10’11’11’6’14’ 37th StC Concept Plan CORRIDORS The concept plan includes three corridors: • 37th Street • Vernon Ave • Leonis/District Blvd Each corridor includes a preferred concept for bicycling and pedestrian improvements such as separated bikeways, continental crosswalks, conflict striping, and landscaped buffers. GATEWAYS The potential gateway locations are: • 26th Street • Bandini-Soto Triangle • Downey Road • Atlantic Boulevard Each gateway includes a preferred location and concept based on extent of connection with the study corridors and the future LA River Path, available area, and potential programmatic elements. The concept plan integrates a variety of design treatments and strategies to present a vision for the corridors and gateways that meets the public and stakeholder goals for active transportation in Vernon. Conceptual cross section 9 Introduction 10 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Next Steps In order to implement the vision presented in the preferred concept plans this study outlines the necessary future phases. These include detailed design and engineering, potential environmental review, potential right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, and construction. The next step in this process is to secure funding to move these projects forward. Potential sources for funding are included in the Implementation Strategy section. Cost estimates, a list of ideal funding sources, anticipated project partners, and planning-level concepts are included for each proposed location. Projects can be prioritized for early implementation based on observed and expected user demand, public support and need, ROW availability, funding availability, and existing site conditions.

Documents and data were reviewed for: • Existing and planned bicycle facilities • Transit connectivity • Design guidelines and restrictions related to rail and utility property • Policies related to funding and maintaining bikeways and public space • Potential partnerships for gateway and bicycle facility operations • Best practices for separated bikeways and protected intersection design • Compatibility with planning efforts surrounding the existing lower LA River Path Overview 13 PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW CITY OF VERNON BICYCLE MASTER PLAN (2017) Project Overview and Goals The City of Vernon’s Bicycle Master Plan aims to serve as a guiding document for the development of a safe and comfortable bicycle network linking working centers and community destinations as well as the larger regional network. The Plan summarizes current biking conditions and recommends policies and tools for the city to use in implementing programs and infrastructure improvements. Process Project feasibility for this plan was assessed in terms of existing traffic lane configurations and width of existing curb-to-curb space to accommodate safer bikeways. This process was guided by the FHWA Safety Program’s Road Diet Informational Guide. Outreach was conducted to collect community feedback for the Master Plan through surveys and interactive boards with maps, encouraging attendees to identify key intersections and streets that could be improved to accommodate safer bicycling conditions for all. In addition, a public survey, available through hard copy and electronic format, was created to capture community experiences and concerns around bicycling in Vernon. Relevance to This Plan Vernon’s Bicycle Master Plan identified six street segments for consideration of Class IV protected bikeways. Of these corridors, three segments provide direct connections to the LA River Path. The land use in Vernon is industrial with high volumes of heavy truck traffic. Streets identified with high percentage of truck traffic relevant to the proposed bikeways and access points in the study include: Bandini Boulevard (36.4%), 26th Street (30.7%), Vernon Avenue (15.4%), and Soto Avenue (14.4%). Vernon is close to the Metrolink Orange County Line (Commerce Station), Riverside Lines (Montebello/ Commerce Station), and the Metro Blue Line (Washington, Vernon, and Slauson Stations), making the streets of Vernon and Slauson Avenue important key corridors for active transportation infrastructure improvements and future first/last mile connections. The only existing bikeway in Vernon is the 0.78 mile stretch of the LA River Path that goes from Atlantic Boulevard to Slauson Avenue. Bicycle-involved collisions occurred at higher frequencies on the west side of the city, where most of the activity generators and attractors are such as schools, churches, City Hall, and commercial areas. The highest bicycle-involved collision roadways include the following streets: Atlantic Avenue, Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon Avenue, Alameda Street, and 26th Street. The three corridors (Leonis/District, Bandini Avenue, Vernon Avenue) were identified as priority corridors in the Master Plan because of their potential to connect the LA River Path to Vernon’s major employers and local destinations, and what was a proposed rail stop for the planned West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor that will connect downtown Los Angeles to south LA County. Because Vernon is an industrial hub whose streets transport a disproportionately large amount of freight daily, a main consideration of the Master Plan’s analysis and recommendations was ensuring no negative impact on the movement of freight. As a result, an emphasis was placed on creating fewer, higher quality active transportation corridors that would concentrate bicycling activity in localized areas. A traffic analysis that considered impacts to Level of Service (LOS), intersection volume, roadway capacity, parking, and potential conflicts at driveways was used to evaluate the three corridors this Access Plan will study to ensure that they would not inhibit freight mobility. Furthermore, because people riding bicycles in Vernon will share the roadway with semi trucks and large freight vehicles, the Master Plan recommended these three corridors could be feasible as Class IV separated bikeways to ensure optimal safety for bicyclists and drivers. The surveys distributed to the community in the summer and fall of 2016 indicate support for the city’s transportation network improvements.

These policies and plans ranged from the local to state level. CITY OF VERNON LA RIVER FEASIBILITY STUDY (2018) Project Overview and Goals The purpose and goal of the feasibility study was to develop preliminary pathway alignments and design concepts for the three-mile-long segment of the LA River in Vernon. The study will be used to inform Metro’s current LA River Path Project, which includes design, environmental clearance, and construction to fill in the entire eight-mile-long gap. The study synthesizes community input, stakeholder concerns, physical opportunities and constraints, and implementation strategies for the path. Process The development of the feasibility study involved several phases, including coordination with project partners, public outreach at local events, data collection and analysis of the existing physical environment, development of alignment alternatives, conceptual design, development of funding and implementation strategies, and documentation of the plan. Outreach was conducted by targeting people who live in or own businesses within city limits, the many people who commute to Vernon for work, and those who live in surrounding communities who would use the path. The majority of the community speaks Spanish as their primary language, and all outreach was conducted in both Spanish and English. Through outreach events and surveys, feedback was gathered from over 400 people. Three major outreach events were held to coincide with local events: Festival Sabor de México Lindo in October 2016, the Huntington Park Carnaval Primavera in April 2017, and Festival Sabor de México Lindo in October 2017. Additional input was gathered directly from employer stakeholders at the City of Vernon’s Business and Industry Commission meeting, and social media pages were created to capture community input as well. Community outreach results relevant to this project are provided below. In addition, alignment evaluation criteria were created to weigh the path alignment options. The criteria were based on three categories (function, feasibility, and desirability) developed by the City of Vernon, the community, and key stakeholders. The final design will be determined by the eight-mile-long LA River Path project. Relevance to this plan Two surveys were developed, provided in both English and Spanish, to learn more about the community’s needs and wants for the LA River Path project. The first outreach event was part of the larger Festival Sabor de Mexico Lindo, an annual weekend-long festival. The second outreach event was held at the Huntington Park Carnaval Primavera. The third and final outreach event was a return to the Festival Sabor de Mexico Lindo. The project team provided project updates at each event while collecting community feedback. Vernon’s community is divided into three group categories: residents, those who commute to work in Vernon, and those who live in nearby communities. These groups have similar needs for the LA River Path in Vernon. For example, for all three groups the path would be a safe and comfortable active transportation connection to the greater Los Angeles area. People also want the facility to connect where people live to where people work in Vernon. The survey also identified that Vernon and nearby communities value recreation and want to see an aesthetically appealing path that represents the community. 17 PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW In addition, the project team also engaged with Vernon’s industrial business leaders and other stakeholders such as freight and rail operators. Path alignments were presented to the Vernon Business and Industry Commission where business owners expressed some concerns regarding the safety and security of their employees and businesses as well as the potential disruption the project would have to their economic interests. The feasibility study identified opportunities and constraints on connectivity access points as well. Roadways cross the river within the project area at five locations: 26th Street, Soto Street, Bandini Boulevard, Downey Road, and Atlantic Boulevard, providing the potential for access to the river and the future path at each crossing. There are also plans to reconstruct the 26th Street Bridge. This project creates opportunities for future design to accommodate enhanced gateways to the path and/or grade-separated crossings over the road and river. There is also potential for bicycle facilities on the bridge itself, providing linkage from the river to the surrounding street network. At Bandini Boulevard and Soto Street, there is an opportunity to connect to a commercial center with services such as restaurants and restrooms for path users. This area could serve as a gateway to major employers in Vernon such as Farmer John, located at the southwest corner of Bandini Boulevard and Soto Street. At Atlantic Boulevard, two existing river access points are located on the east side of the bridge. One access point enters the path from the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge, and the other from District Boulevard, directly to the east. The feasibility study also identified some constraints. At 26th Street, industrial properties obstruct access to the channel on both the north and south sides of the road. Access to the river is obstructed by a commercial center on the east side of Soto Street and the north side of Bandini Boulevard. At Downey Road, a railway bridge obstructs potential access to the river on the east side of the road. The railway partially obstructs the top of the channel on the west side of the road. At Atlantic Boulevard, rail lines partially obstruct potential access to the river channel to the north. CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN (2007) Summary The City of Vernon General Plan was adopted in 2007 as the city’s main policy document to guide future development. The Circulation and Infrastructure section provides guidance on bicycle planning. Relevance to This Plan The Circulation and Infrastructure Element is intended to guide the development of Vernon’s circulation system in a manner compatible with the policies contained in the Land Use Element. The first goal of the Circulation and Infrastructure Element references the need to provide a balanced transportation system. It also recognizes bicycles as an additional mode of travel, even though bicycling is not encouraged on Vernon’s streets due to the heavy truck traffic and narrow configuration of many streets, which could pose safety concerns for cyclists. 18 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN 37LA RIVER PATH FEASIBILITY STUDY ch. 3 V VERNONCITY HALL RETAILCORE RAIL TO RIVERSAN PEDRO SUBDIVISIONHARBOR SUBDIVISION26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPe n n i n g to nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPe n n i n g to nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPe n n i n g to nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon S O U T HGATE B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E F L O R E N C E - F I R E S T O N E W A L N U T P A R K LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r S4S1 S1 S2 S2 S3 S4S3Connectivity/Access I ACCESS POINTS/FUTURE GATEWAY SCHOOL TRANSIT ROUTES PROPOSED REGIONAL BIKE PATH/ BIKE ROUTE EXISTING BIKE PATH/BIKE ROUTE PROPOSED CITY OF VERNON SEPARATED BIKEWAY PROPOSED ECO-RAPID TRANSIT STOP 32% of survey respondents identified Soto Street (bridge shown) as their preferred bikeway access point.

Construction of the LA River Path is expected to be completed by 2027. Metro’s LA River Path project completed the conceptual design phase (Phase I) in fall of 2019. The conceptual design phase included technical studies to document existing conditions, community outreach to identify local values and goals, design guidelines, and three path alternatives. The three alternatives include three path types shown on the following page (Figure 4: Elevated Path Type, Figure 5: Incised Path Type, and Figure 6: Top-of-Bank Path Type). The project entered Phase II, Environmental Clearance in winter 2019. Phase III, Final Design, will begin in 2022, and Phase IV, Construction in 2023. Relevance to This Plan It is important for people who are using the LA River Path to be able to connect to and from the path to desired destinations in the City of Vernon via sidewalks and bikeways. The LA River Path has identified a set of potential access opportunities with which the path will connect. The corridors in the Vernon Access Study provide the walking and bicycling connections for path users to reach their destinations. It will be important for ongoing coordination with the Metro LA River Path project to align access opportunities with the pedestrian and bicycle corridors that the City of Vernon plans to construct. Los Angeles River Bike Path Gap Closure Feasibility Study (2016) Metro began studying a path to close the gap in the LA River Path in 2016 with the LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Feasibility Study. It studied the design, construction, and operation of a bicycle path along the eight-mile-long gap through downtown Los Angeles and the City of Vernon. Despite the physical challenges of constraints along the top of the bank and hydraulic challenges of being in the channel, the study concluded that it was feasible to close the gap. Coordination with Metro LA River Path Project The Vernon LA River Path Active Transportation Access Plan and the Metro LA River Path Project are being developed concurrently. The design of the LA River Path will have major implications on the exact location of gateways and the connections to corridors within this study. The Metro LA River Path Project began Environmental Review in late 2019. Three path alternatives that include specific path alignments and access points will be studied during the Environmental Review process. A Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) may not be determined until 2021. Continued coordination between these two projects will ensure proposed corridor and gateway designs will align with and consider all possible LA River Path designs. LA METRO BIKE/BUS INTERFACE STUDY (2018) Summary On most streets, buses and people riding bicycles are expected to travel along the right side of the road, sharing space and crossing each other’s paths as buses pull to the curb to serve stops while people on bicycles tend to 20 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Figure 4: Elevated Path Type Figure 5: Incised Path Type Figure 6: Top-of-Bank Path Type ride continuously in a relatively straight line. People riding bicycles are highly vulnerable to injury or fatality in the event of nearly any collision. The Bike/Bus Interface Study examines the experience of these groups of road users, how various road designs affect safety and operations for both groups, and how the users themselves perceive the experience. The Study uses stakeholder input and data analysis to develop recommendations for improving bus operator training, bicycle safety education, and design guidelines for bus and bicycle infrastructure. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) initiated this study in 2016. Much of the inspiration was in response to the need to improve or maintain bus quality of service while encouraging the increase of bicycle riding throughout Los Angeles County. Metro provides a large proportion of rail and bus service in Los Angeles County alongside dozens of smaller “municipal” bus operators. Metro also provides countywide active transportation planning, outreach, and education programs, and administers a growing bike share program. Although Metro is not a principal agency responsible for roadway planning in Los Angeles County or the local cities, its network of bus, rail, and active transportation programs both influence and are influenced by the roadway network throughout the county. Because of the need for buses and people on bicycles to travel near one another along the road, Metro sought to understand the changes on shared corridors in the county after new bus or bicycle infrastructure was completed, and develop best practices for future priority bicycle and transit corridors. Relevance to This Plan The research is informed and directed by the following elements: a literature review, analysis of fifteen study corridors selected from around Los Angeles County, six focus groups with bus operators from various agencies, five focus groups engaging the bicycling community around Los Angeles, an online bicycling survey with over 4,000 respondents, interviews with numerous city planners and engineers, input from a working group of transportation professionals from around the county, and a peer review group of transportation professionals from three other major U.S. cities. Collectively, thousands of people helped inform what bicycling and bus activity traveling alongside one another is like, and how current designs and educational practices could be improved based on unique elements of each corridor such as number of lanes, bicycle facility type, transit route, and vehicle type. 21 PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW Los Angeles County Plans TRIP REDUCTION AND TRAFFIC DEMAND PROGRAM (ORDINANCE NO. 1015) (1994) Summary The County of Los Angeles adopted a Congestion Management Program (CMP) in 1993, requiring that every city in the county adopt a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance that promotes “alternative transportation methods, such as carpools, vanpools, transit, bicycles, and park-and-ride lots.” The City of Vernon adopted such an ordinance in March 1994, incorporating trip reduction and travel demand measures into the city’s development standards. Certain measures of the City of Vernon’s trip reduction and travel demand program include requiring non- residential development of 25,000 square feet or more to include the installation of an information area with items such as “bicycle route and facility information, including regional/local bicycle maps and bicycle safety information,” and “a listing of facilities available for carpoolers, vanpoolers, bicyclists, transit riders and pedestrians” at the site. Non-residential development of 50,000 square feet or more also requires the installation of “bicycle racks or other secure bicycle parking facilities… to accommodate four (4) bicycles.” Finally, non-residential development of 100,000 square feet or more requires “sidewalks or other paved pathways which follow direct and safe routes from the public streets to each bicycle parking area and to each building in the development.” The County’s Congestion Management Program process was established as part of a 1990 gas tax aimed toward funding efforts meant to reduce traffic congestion along county roads. The CMP included two arterials that are partly within the City of Vernon: Alameda Street and the Long Beach (710) Freeway. As the enforcement agency of the CMP, in June 2018 the Metro Board approved a Metro staff recommendation to begin the process of inquiring whether local jurisdictions and stakeholders would be interested in opting out of the CMP requirements, stating that they are largely outdated in comparison with current regional, state, and federal planning processes and requirements. Relevance to This Plan Trip reduction and traffic demand programs can benefit communities by reducing traffic congestion on local public streets, promoting alternative transportation methods such as active transportation and public transportation, and improving access to development and employment areas. The City of Vernon’s trip reduction and travel demand program includes a number of development requirements that improve bicycle and pedestrian access to non-residential development within the city. 22 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY BICYCLE MASTER PLAN (2012) Summary The Los Angeles County Bicycle Master Plan is an update to the 1975 County Bikeway Plan, and aims to guide the development and maintenance of a comprehensive bicycle network and set of programs throughout the unincorporated communities of Los Angeles County for 20 years (2012 to 2032). The Plan is a sub-element of the Transportation Element of the Los Angeles County General Plan, which is the policy document that guides growth and development in the unincorporated county. The goal of the Bicycle Master Plan was to improve bicycling conditions and encourage more bicycle ridership in the county by expanding the bicycle network, connecting existing gaps, and improving local and regional connectivity. The Plan outlined a range of recommendations including bicycle infrastructure improvements, bicycle-related programs, implementation strategies, and policy and design guidelines. Relevance to This Plan The Los Angeles County Bicycle Master Plan reinforced the importance of the bikeway-related projects and guidelines highlighted in the County of Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan, including the vision for a continuous bikeway along the full length of the LA River, as well as the importance of improved access to the corridor from surrounding neighborhoods. LA METRO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN (2016) Summary The overall focus of Metro’s Active Transportation Strategic Plan was to improve the experience of people taking transit, walking, and biking in Los Angeles County by enhancing access and creating safer streets for all users. The Plan had several objectives that included improving first/last mile access to transit stations, developing a regional active transportation network, and supporting programs that would aid in the implementation of the proposed projects. The Plan summarized barriers and opportunities to implementing active transportation projects throughout the county, discussed funding and implementation strategies, and proposed a variety of first/last mile improvements as well as a regional active transportation network. Relevance to This Plan In addition to providing a framework for implementing active transportation projects countywide, the Plan also highlighted the Metro Rail to Rail/River Active Transportation Corridor Project as a key project for Los Angeles County’s future active transportation network. The project will provide a pedestrian and bicycle corridor that will connect the Cities of Los Angeles, Inglewood, Huntington Park, Vernon, Maywood, Bell, and parts of unincorporated Los Angeles County, and will connect three Metro transit lines (the Blue Line at Slauson Station, the Silver Line at the I-110 freeway Slauson Station, and the future Crenshaw/LAX line at Fairview Heights Station) to the eventual 51-mile-long LA River Path. The Rail to River Corridor Project will provide Vernon’s employees and residents with a direct active transportation connection between the future West Santa Ana Branch and Metro Blue Line Slauson Station and the LA River Path along Randolph Street. This corridor will complement the segments under study by this Access Plan to create more options for community members to connect to the LA River and to transit. 23 PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW EXISTING CONDITIONS03 24 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Vernon is a dense employment center for the greater Los Angeles region, with major industrial manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping operations within its city limits. Bisected by the LA River, the industries of Vernon are supported by the existing rail, utility, and arterial roadway networks that criss-cross an intricate patchwork of land uses and ownership. The city has only a small residential population but is surrounded by dense residential areas in most directions. Overview Rail and industry on the banks of the LA River 25 EXISTING CONDITIONS POPULATION DENSITY As of the 2010 Census, Vernon had a population of 112. Its median age is 36 years, and roughly 65 percent of the population is over 30 years old. In 2010, the average household size in Vernon was four persons. The map below illustrates the low density of population in Vernon and distribution in surrounding areas. Figure 7: Residential Density Vernon's residential population is centered in the city's southeast corner, near the northern limit of the existing LA River Path. This population resides in both city- owned housing and a private housing development, Vernon Village Apartments, which was built in 2015.

The survey found that most people who work in the City of Vernon live outside of the city and commute to work. The vast majority of workers are commuting to Vernon from surrounding localities—nearly 38,000 people a day (US Census LEHD 2015). Since Vernon has a very small working-age resident population (just 27 workers 16 years old and over), the transportation patterns of its inhabitants are very different from other communities. For example, the Table 1: Vernon Residents Journey to Work Mode Share Compared to the County, State, and Nation (Percent) Table 2: Vernon Employees Journey to Work Mode Share for People Working in Vernon census data show that none of Vernon’s inhabitants commute by bicycle or public transit and a large percentage carpool. Just one person walks to work and one more works from home (ACS 2010-2014 five-year estimates). The small population of Vernon means that individual transportation decisions impact citywide averages; a single person shifting to bicycle travel would give the City of Vernon a bicycle commute mode share of 3.7% (higher than national, state and county averages).

Heavy industrial land uses, such as refineries, energy generating facilities, and hazardous waste facilities may be permitted with special approval. The city has produced overlay districts that allow certain specialized uses not permitted in other areas of the city, such as commercial, rendering, slaughtering, and housing. New residential uses, in addition to existing homes, are permitted at few limited locations. The city has no parks or green areas. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES As discussed in Chapter 2, the City of Vernon recently completed both a Bicycle Master Plan (2017) and a feasibility study for a future LA River Path through the city (2018). Several regional planning efforts have also proposed bikeways within the City of Vernon. Examples include Metro’s Active Transportation Strategic Plan, Rail to River, Regional Active Transportation Network, and Gateway Cities Strategic Transportation Plan. However, the only existing bikeway in Vernon is the 0.78-mile stretch of the LA River path that goes from Atlantic Boulevard to Slauson Avenue. The city is served by Metro bus lines 60, 105, 251, 254, 611, 705, 751, and 760.

The assessment of conditions relevant to this study includes a description of the local street system in the vicinity of the bikeway corridors, the current transit service in the study area, planned improvements, and an assessment of the existing operating conditions. The classifications and primary characteristics of each street considered in this plan are summarized in Table 3. All streets are primarily aligned east- west. The majority of intersections along these three corridors are signalized within the study area. Existing Traffic Volumes and Levels of Service Weekday PM peak hour bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular (classified to separate heavy vehicle) counts were collected along 37th Street, Vernon Avenue, and Leonis Boulevard. Weekday PM period counts were collected for three days and the highest PM peak hour traffic counts were utilized for the analysis. Existing volumes were analyzed to determine the delay and LOS for each intersection. All intersections operate at LOS D or better with the exception of the intersection Atlantic Boulevard and District Boulevard. 30 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN I 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayers MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPen n i ng t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 45th 52 n d 49th DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPen n i ng t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52 n d 49th DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolPen n i ng t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52 n d 49th DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r LEGEND PRIVATE LAND PUBLIC LAND LA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT RIGHT OF WAY POTENTIAL GATEWAYS Figure 11: Land Ownership at Gateways LAND OWNERSHIP Ownership of the Los Angeles River corridor through Vernon is a mix of private and public. Though much of the river corridor is owned by the LA County Flood Control District (LACFCD), the reach of river north of S Downey Road includes numerous private parcels as well. The major land owners at potential gateways include the City of Vernon, LACFCD, and private entities (see Figure 11). Most gateway sites fall mostly on publicly owned lands, with most of the east-bank gateways directly impacting existing utility corridors. The sole gateway that is exclusively on privately owned land is at Bandini / Soto West, which is a small commercial strip mall and parking lot. Nearly all of the land along each of the proposed bikeway corridors is privately owned. 0 0.25 0.5 1 Mile 31 EXISTING CONDITIONS I 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r LOCAL WOOD POST OVERHEAD UTILITY LINE HIGH TENSION OVERHEAD UTILITY LINE LEGEND POTENTIAL GATEWAYS Figure 12: Utility Lines Map UTILITIES ALONG THE CORRIDORS Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has a transmission line corridor that transverses the river through Vernon. A conductor’s survey is needed to assess clearance of proposed structures under transmission lines. The utility lines are in need of an upgrade. Transmission lines along the river generally have a 50-year life span and the LADWP transmission lines are 85 years old. Potential gateways along the east bank of the LA River utilize portions of the transmission corridor, including at 26th Street, Bandini Boulevard, S Downey Road, and S Atlantic Boulevard. Most potential gateways intersect with small utility posts in some capacity, while 26th Street East and S Atlantic Boulevard East feature large transmission towers in the middle of the site. Overhead utility lines are present along three of the corridors, with utility poles in the sidewalks. At-grade and underground utilities are located in sidewalks, as is typical of commercial corridors. 0 0.25 0.5 1 Mile 32 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN MALABARYARD REDONDOJUNCTION HOBARTINTERMODALFACILITY RAIL TO RIVER I 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44th Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayer s MalburgExchange Maywood1stHamptonCoronaCharterViolet Giord2ndDekalbSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaSierra PineBickettSunolP e n n in g t o nSaco Loma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th JewelAyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 45th 52n d 49th DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n FruitlandUnion Paciﬁc55thUnion Paciﬁc 48th49th 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r HIGH-VOLUME RAIL LINES METRO-OWNEDRAIL LINES LOW-VOLUME RAIL LINES POTENTIAL GATEWAYS LEGEND Figure 13: Railways Map RAILWAYS IN VERNON Vernon is an important corridor for rail (see Figure 14).

The gateways near Bandini Boulevard and 26th Street are along dramatic vertical walls of the LA River channel, while gateways to the south near S Downey Road and S Atlantic Boulevard feature a wide trapezoidal channel with adjacent rail lines. All gateway sites are adjacent to major arterial roads, which present a challenge for user safety and comfort but an opportunity to be visible to passing traffic.

Sitting atop a vertical wall section of rectangular channel, the site features dramatic views towards Redondo Junction and the downtown Los Angeles skyline. There is a continuous field of low grasses and a single large utility tower on site. The grade is relatively flat but slopes gently towards the river channel. The site has a 60-foot frontage and a 15-foot-wide entrance along 26th Street at the site of an old driveway. The gateway site can be accessed by a former driveway that cuts into the sidewalk, currently separated from the site by a chain link fence. Around the gateway site, 26th Street features a six-foot-wide sidewalk with periodic obstruction by a small utility post. There are no nearby roadway crossings. This reach of the LA River has a thin layer of water across the entire channel, which allows for in- channel vegetation to grow. Bird species gather in large numbers in this area of the river, providing a unique contrast to the stark industrial context. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features industrial sites with large parking lots and major shipping operations. There are limited commercial opportunities one block east along Soto St. The southern edge of the Boyle Heights residential neighborhood is less than a mile north of the sites. Local bus lines run along Soto, and the nearest Metro rail station is located 1.5 miles to the west along Long Beach Avenue. 26th Street Key Map 52 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN 53 EXISTING CONDITIONS Left: view north from Bandini Boulevard Right: terraced edge along parking lotBottom: view south from Soto Street BANDINI/SOTO—WEST The gateway site at Bandini/Soto West is a commercial triangle with a 6,000-square-foot vegetated ledge that borders the river frontage along the west bank of the LA River. The site is along a reach that transitions from rectangular to trapezoidal channel. It features unique views of the Vernon water tower and the bending river channel, as well as obscured views towards the San Gabriel Mountains. The site has frontage along both Soto Street and Bandini Boulevard. The gateway site adjacent to Bandini Boulevard (south) has 36 feet of frontage on the backside of the sidewalk between the bridge baluster and the parking lot driveway. The site is separated from the sidewalk and adjacent parking lot by a chain link fence, vegetation, and a retaining wall (along the parking lot edge). Bandini Boulevard features a nine- foot-wide sidewalk in front of the site and a six-foot- wide sidewalk across the bridge. The area features a small flat edge along Bandini Boulevard before it slopes steeply down towards the channel wall. The gateway site adjacent to Soto Street (north) has 20 feet of frontage on the backside of the sidewalk between the bridge baluster and an adjacent commercial building. The site is separated from the six-foot-wide sidewalk by a chain link fence and vegetation. The area slopes steeply from Soto Street down towards the channel wall. This reach of the LA River has a thin layer of water across the entire channel, which allows for in- channel vegetation to grow. Bird species gather in large numbers in this area of the river. Land Use/Transportation Context The commercial triangle is one of the largest commercial clusters in Vernon providing several restaurants for the employees that work at the major industries nearby. Bandini Boulevard and Soto Street are both major arterials that generate a large amount of freight and vehicular traffic through the area as well. The immediate context of the site features major industrial sites. Farmer John is located across Bandini Boulevard from the gateway site and is the largest employer in Vernon with over 1,000 employees. A small urgent care center is located a block south along Soto St. There are no residential areas within a mile. Metro bus lines 251 and 751 run along Soto St, while the nearest Metro rail station is located 1.5 miles to the west along Long Beach Avenue.

The site is along a reach of the LA River that transitions from rectangular to trapezoidal channel. It features unique views of the bending river channel and an obscured view to the Vernon water tower. The site has a field of cracked asphalt and low vegetation, with two large utility towers that sit in the center of the site. The gateway site adjacent to Bandini Boulevard (south) has 30 feet of roadway frontage access via a maintenance driveway. From south to north, the driveway crosses the sidewalk and lands at a 90-square-foot cracked asphalt pad before ramping quickly down five feet to the rest of the area, which is mostly flat. There is a six-foot- wide sidewalk along Bandini Boulevard at the bridge. The gateway site adjacent to Soto Street (north) abuts the bridge at an elevation below the roadway. However, an adjacent paved access road with 60-foot-wide frontage provides access to the site. From north to south, the driveway crosses the sidewalk and connects with the access road. The access road continues for 350 feet before sloping down and to the side to the remainder of the site. The landing near Soto Street features a steep cross slope down towards the channel wall before leveling out 250 feet south of Soto St. There is a six-foot-wide sidewalk along Soto Street Bridge. This reach of the LA River has a thin layer of water across the entire channel, which allows for in- channel vegetation to grow. Bird species gather in large numbers in this area of the river. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features industrial sites with large parking lots and major shipping operations, with direct frontage along a Seven Up distribution center, which employs over 250 people. Farmer John is located across the river from the gateway site along Bandini Boulevard and is the largest employer in Vernon with over 1,000 employees. There is also a major commercial hub west across the river at the Bandini/Soto Commercial Triangle. There are no residential areas within a mile. Local bus lines run along Soto Street and Bandini Boulevard, and the nearest Metro rail station is located 1.5 miles to the west along Long Beach Avenue.

The site is a triangular parcel of gravel with small utility posts and a billboard on it. The site sits atop the edge of a wide trapezoidal channel. It features obscured views of the Vernon Water Tower, downtown LA, and the San Gabriel Mountains. The small site is relatively flat, but is separated from the channel by a chain link fence and short retaining wall that stands one to three feet above the sloped channel wall. A maintenance access road into the channel connects towards the back of the site. The site has several obstructions that impact accessibility and visibility. Support wires from the street-side utility posts cross at the street frontage, and anchor at six locations near the rail. Additional pipes protrude along the frontage, leaving only 16 feet of frontage without vertical obstructions. A billboard is also on site, located six feet from the edge of the channel wall. The site has 50 feet of frontage on S Downey Road, between the center of a rail line and a utility post/bridge wall. The sidewalk along S Downey Road is six feet wide on the bridge and widens to 10 feet as it heads south towards the intersection with E Vernon Avenue. Just south of the access opportunity site, the sidewalk ramps down six inches to cross the active rail line. There is a rail crossing sign, but no truncated domes or surface change. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features spread-out industrial sites with large parking lots and major shipping operations. J&J Snack Foods Corp is located a few blocks south and employs almost 400 people, while UPS is located across the river and employs over 1,000 people. The residential community of Maywood is less than a mile south of the site. Metro bus line 254 runs along S Downey Road.

The sites sit atop the edge of a wide trapezoidal channel. The east parcel features obscured views of the San Gabriel Mountains. The west parcel features low vegetation and has 18 feet of frontage on S Downey Road. Along that edge, there is 600 square feet of flat space and just beyond, a concrete maintenance access ramp cuts directly through the site down to the channel bottom, separated from the level area on either side by retaining walls. The 20-foot upper pad of the access ramp is relatively flat and can be crossed, but the retaining wall creates a tripping hazard on both sides of the ramp. The rest of the parcel is level and features an old asphalt maintenance road in poor condition that passes under a large utility tower. The east parcel has over 200 feet of frontage on both S Downey Road and Bandini Boulevard. However, there are no sidewalks on either road adjacent to the parcel and Downey Bridge only has sidewalks on the opposite side of the street. The site is defined by two rail lines—the first, that crosses the channel and parallels S Downey Road with a 24-foot offset to the center of rail, and the second, which comes from the south along the channel and swoops diagonally across the site and across Bandini Boulevard. Utility posts, utility boxes, and a billboard all create accessibility challenges at the site. At the corner of the intersection, there is a three- foot-tall metal barrier that limits pedestrian access. Directly adjacent to the corner is a slip turn lane for right turning traffic from S Downey Road to Bandini Boulevard, which has no signal and only a yield sign. On the far side of the slip lane is a small concrete island with a rail crossing signal mounted directly in the center of the space, limiting actual pedestrian and cyclist access. The rest of the site is flat and unpaved, with a 50-foot-wide vegetated edge along the river channel that slopes down eight feet to the top of channel wall. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features industrial sites with large parking lots and major shipping operations. The site on the west side of Downey Road is just south of UPS, which employs over 1,000 people. Just northeast of both sites is Hobart Intermodal Facility, a major shipping hub and freight rail yard, which generates large quantities of vehicular and rail traffic. The southern edge of the Boyle Heights residential neighborhood is less than a mile north of the sites. Metro local bus line 254 runs along S Downey Road.

The sites sit atop the edge of a wide trapezoidal channel. Both sites feature wide views towards downtown Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Mountains. The north parcel is unpaved and has 25 feet of frontage on S Atlantic Boulevard. The access is constrained between a utility/light post and the bridge baluster along that edge, with a triangular 200-square-foot flat area. The area is separated from the channel by a chain link fence and a retaining wall that drops up to 12 feet. The area is flanked on its west edge by an inactive rail line. S Atlantic Avenue features a five-foot-wide sidewalk that curves and ramps down to cross the rail line. The south parcel includes the terminus of the existing LA River Bike Path, which dead ends into S Atlantic Avenue. The larger portion of the south site considers two parcels of land just south of S Atlantic Boulevard that provide frontage along District Avenue as well. The first parcel is largely gravel and includes all the land between the rail line and the existing LA River Path. It only has frontage along District Avenue, and there are no sidewalks in this location. Current access to the LA River Path is provided via District Avenue in the form of a cracked and sloped access ramp. Part of the frontage is obstructed by a metal guardrail east of the access ramp. The bulk of the site slopes gently down five feet from the existing LA River Path down to the rail line. The second and larger parcel includes everything south of the rail line. There are five-foot-wide sidewalks along S Atlantic Boulevard and 10-foot-wide sidewalks along District Avenue in this area. This area is relatively flat and is currently developed with petroleum storage tanks, small buildings, and a parking lot. It has driveway access to both District Avenue and S Atlantic Boulevard. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features a blend of industrial, commercial, and community land uses, with Maywood Elementary School one block south and Amazon Fulfillment Services across District Avenue from the south site. Atlantic Boulevard is a major civic and commercial arterial through the City of Maywood. The dense residential areas of the City of Maywood begin within 500 feet of the sites. Metro bus lines 260, 611, and 762 serve this intersection, with several stops within 800 feet of the sites.

They are along a reach of the LA River with a wide trapezoidal channel. The sites feature obscured views of the San Gabriel Mountains and downtown LA, as well as a unique vista of the wide channel and utility towers. The north site features 150 feet of frontage. In this location, S Atlantic Boulevard has a dirt sidewalk that transitions to a four-foot-wide concrete sidewalk to the west and a 10-foot-wide concrete sidewalk to the east. The southwestern edge of the site is bordered by a rail line. Where the sidewalk crosses the rail, the dirt sidewalk ramps down and becomes concrete before crossing the rail and ramping up again. The site is unpaved and features a very large utility 30 feet from the sidewalk. The bulk of the site is flat but sits eight feet below the rail and the sidewalk. Along the rail edge, there is an informal and unpaved 14 foot-wide maintenance path before it slopes steeply down to the flat area. The south site features 150 feet of frontage. In this location, S Atlantic Boulevard has an eight-foot-wide concrete sidewalk that becomes four feet wide along Atlantic Boulevard Bridge. The southern edge of the area is bounded by a rail line. The site is unpaved and features sporadic vegetation along a chain link fence running down the middle. The bulk of the area is flat and level with the roadway, with an informal gravel roadway along its northern half. Along the sidewalk edge, there is a chain link fence and a collection of small utility poles and boxes. Land Use/Transportation Context The immediate context of the site features wide utility corridors and industrial sites with large parking lots and major shipping operations. The north site is adjacent to a major FedEx shipping lot. Just northeast of the sites is Hobart Intermodal Facility, a major shipping hub and freight rail yard, which generates large quantities of vehicular and rail traffic. The southern edge of residential areas in the City of Commerce is less than a mile north of the sites, while the dense residential areas of the City of Maywood begin a quarter mile south of the sites across the river. Metro bus lines 260 and 762 run along S Atlantic Boulevard in this location, although the nearest stop is a quarter-mile away.

The plan's outreach approach is informed by outreach conducted for Vernon's Bicycle Master Plan and LA River Feasibility Study. It was further refined based on feedback received from the Vernon Business and Industry Commission. The outreach process set out to listen to public comments, convey technical issues in a clear easy-to- understand manner, and explain trade-offs to business, employee, public, and agency stakeholders, summarize feedback received, and incorporate this feedback into the evaluation processes for both bikeway and LA River gateway conceptual design recommendations. The process was informed by the following goals: Overview • Create awareness among residents, business owners, employees, and key stakeholders about the Plan and its goals; • Solicit feedback to understand the needs and expectations of residents, business owners, employees, and other community members; • Build support for the project with representatives from the business community, and communicate this support to the Vernon Business and Industry Commission; • Convey technical designs, limitations, and opportunities in a clear and concise manner; • Provide options and opportunities for connections and access to the LA River Path and facilitate the means to provide the public the opportunity to determine which trade-offs they are comfortable with and; • Use outcomes of outreach to inform a conceptual design that aims to meet project goals while receiving the support of Vernon's business and residential communities. 67 Community outreach 80% of those surveyed said they would be likely (60%) or very likely (20%) to use the future path for commuting Very easy Easy Neither easy nor difficult Difficult Very difficult Most of those surveyed said that biking and scootering and taking public transit in Vernon today are difficult (60%), while walking is mostly easy (40%). 80% of those surveyed said they would be likely (60%) or very likely (20%) to use the future path for commuting Very easy Easy Neither easy nor difficult Difficult Very difficult Most of those surveyed said that biking and scootering and taking public transit in Vernon today are difficult (60%), while walking is mostly easy (40%). COMMUNITY BASED ACTION PLAN (CBAP) An updated Community-Based Action Plan Approach was agreed upon February 7th, 2019 to direct the project outreach strategy to create awareness and build support for the project. The approach was informed by outreach conducted on two previous projects Alta conducted for the City of Vernon, the current project scope, as well as feedback received from the Vernon Business and Industry Commission. Community Based Action Plan itself outlines specific tasks, the purpose of these tasks in relation to the project, a schedule of public engagement activities, potential due dates, and deliverables associated with each task. ADVISORY COMMITTEE GROUP MEETINGS The first Advisory Committee Group (ACG) meeting was held on May 2nd, 2019 at the Vernon Fire Department Station. The first meeting was attended by City of Vernon staff and key stakeholders, including representatives from LA county public works, the Vernon police department, LA Junction Railway, LA county parks and recreation, UPS, the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, and Caltrans, to discuss project context, history, goals, scope, and potential corridors / gateways. The discussion regarding potential corridors and gateways led into a design exercise, prompting attendees for potential gateway designs of their own. The meeting culminated in a short walk to the site of the potential Bandini / Soto gateway to review existing conditions and discuss opportunities. ACG meeting #2 was held on May 23rd, 2019 at Vernon City Hall. It was attended by a representative from Baker commodities, the Los Angeles Junction Railway, UPS, and the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy. The itinerary of the second meeting was very similar to the first, beginning with a discussion of project context, history, goals, scope and potential corridors / gateways. This discussion led into a review of corridor design concepts and potential programmatic elements. The meeting culminated in a short walk to the site of the potential Vernon Ave Bikeway to review site conditions and discuss bikeway design opportunities. ACG meeting #3 was held on September 26th, 2019 at Vernon City Hall. It was attended by a representative from the LA department of public works, LA county parks and recreation department, the Vernon networking committee, and the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy. The subject matter of the third meeting focused on the potential gateways while also using the time to review progress on the project since the meetings in May. The gateway concept overviews presented, generated a lively discussion from stakeholders which ranged from several possibilities and visions for gateways, including closing specific streets altogether, to discussions on sponsorship opportunities for businesses. ACG meeting #4 was held on October 17th, 2019 at Vernon City Hall. The only attendees for this event were the project team, no stakeholder representatives were in attendance. Given this dynamic, discussion focused on how to include additional outreach before the conclusion of the project, including individual meetings with stakeholders, and action items to bring the project to completion. 68 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN DIRECT BUSINESS OUTREACH Businesses located adjacent to the study areas with over 100 employees were contacted directly via phone. None of these 18 businesses provided feedback on the project. Businesses in the area are the primary source of ingress/ egress patterns and workers at these organizations would likely be the most affected by the design. CARNAVAL PRIMAVERA On April 6th, 2019 the project team attended the Carnaval Primavera community event on in Huntington Park. The event was well attended and featured community organization booths, amusement rides, and food vendors. The city hosted a booth with the goal of soliciting community feedback around the project. The team conversed with several residents of the surrounding community around Vernon that might benefit from the potential corridor improvements and gateways. Community members had the opportunity to interact with two sticker boards that tallied both the most popular ways people envisioned themselves using a gateway and the kinds of corridor improvements they most liked from six options presented graphically. The results from the gateway board revealed that the community was most interested in using gateways as a place to eat, sit and relax, and that would allow vendors. Creating opportunities for play and exercise were also very important. The role of the space as a destination for both socialization and natural experiences were not nearly as important to the community. The results from the corridors board were more evenly-split as attendees seemed to have positive feelings towards all of the improvements except for the curb and striping buffer with parking configuration. The most popular improvement shown was the concrete barrier using local art, likely due its multi-functional aesthetic qualities. 69 Community outreach vías de acceso / gatewaysCity of Vernon LA River Path Access Plan ATLANTIC BLVDLA RIVER Un concepto de diseño para Atlantic Blvd con paisaje, mesas de picnic y estructuras de sombra.

The team was able to pass out flyers to retail stores and restaurants in the area for the public to engage with, but had difficulty finding members of the community interested in taking the survey. Additional flyers were left at the Vernon public works counter to provide an additional opportunity to reach the community. 71 Community outreach ALTERNATIVES05 72 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Overview This chapter provides an overview and analysis of planning level concepts for three potential corridors and four gateways that will connect the city of Vernon with the future LA River Path. For corridors, an overview is provided of the design considerations and guidelines for Class IV protected bicycle facilities or cycletracks, as well as specific bicycle facility conceptual options for each of the three corridors. For gateways, an introduction to gateway conceptual design themes and site programming is provided, and planning-level site recommendations are made for each of the four gateways. COORDINATION WITH METRO LA RIVER PATH The Vernon LA River Path Active Transportation Access Plan and the Metro LA River Path Project are being developed concurrently. The design of the LA River Path will have major implications for the exact location of gateways and the connections to corridors within this study. The Metro LA River Path Project is expected to begin Environmental Review in late 2019. Three path alternatives that include specific path alignments and access points will be studied during the Environmental Review process. A Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) is not expected to be determined until 2022. Continued coordination between these two projects will ensure proposed corridor and gateway designs will align with and consider all possible LA River Path designs. 73 ALTERNATIVES CORRIDORS 74 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Corridors Overview RAIL TO RIVER PAT H LA R I V E R P A T H ( M E T R O ) EXISTINGLA RIVER PATH Washington Station Vernon Station SlausonStation Florence StationMetro Blue Line37TH ST VERNON AVE LEONIS / DISTRICT BLVD 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyleVernon Leonis Fruitland 26th Atlantic37th PaciﬁcRossSlauson Union PaciﬁcBandiniAlameda DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Fruitland Union Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyleVernon Leonis Fruitland 26th Atlantic37th PaciﬁcRossSlausonSlausonSlauson Union PaciﬁcBandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Union Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBand i n i AlcoaBoyleVernon Leonis Fruitland 26th Atlantic37th PaciﬁcRossSlausonSlausonSlauson Union PaciﬁcBandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda DowneySanta FeWas h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Was h i n g t o n Fruitland Union Paciﬁc 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD LOS ANGELES RIV E R L E G E N D CORRIDOR GATEWAY Corridors are the on-street bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will connect people to the LA River Path. This project explores the conceptual design of three corridors: • 37th Street from Santa Fe Avenue to Soto Street • Vernon Avenue from Santa Fe Avenue to Downey Road • Leonis/District Boulevards from Pacific Boulevard to Atlantic Boulevard Figure 30: Project Corridors 0 0.25 0.5 1 Mile 75 ALTERNATIVES ONE-WAY VERSUS TWO-WAY CYCLE TRACK The corridor designs could consider either one-way or two-way cycle tracks (Class IV protected bikeway). There are benefits and drawbacks to either option. One-way cycle tracks feature a cycle track on both sides of the street, each traveling in the direction of traffic. This allows for easier intersection configuration as there are no bicyclists moving against the flow of vehicular traffic , which would require a dedicated signal phase for bicyclists. However, one-way cycle tracks tend to take up more roadway than two-way cycle tracks, as they require two buffers (one in each direction). In the context of connecting to LA River Path Gateways, bicyclists accessing from the far side of the street would have to make an additional road crossing. Figure 31: Typical one-way cycle track Figure 32: Typical two-way cycle track Cycle Track Design Two-way cycle tracks feature a cycle track on one side of the street with bicycle travel lanes in both directions. They take up less space overall than one-way cycle tracks and may connect more seamlessly into a gateway by minimizing the number of crossings. By being on one side of the street, they impact fewer driveways. However, two-way cycle tracks require intersection configurations with a dedicated bicycle signal phase. Furthermore, two-way cycle tracks necessitate that bicyclists travel against the flow of traffic which goes against driver expectations and can pose possible safety concerns. Either configuration can be appropriate situationally, but it is important to understand the functional application of each scenario to make an informed decision. CORRIDORS 76 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Figure 33: Typical one-way cycle track Figure 34: Typical two-way cycle track Table 6: Cycle Track Design Guidelines (NACTO) DESIGN GUIDELINES NACTO-recommended minimum dimensions for a one- way cycle track include a five-foot-wide bicycle lane with a three-foot-wide buffer. For a raised one-way cycle track, a one-foot-wide buffer may be considered. Preferred dimensions of cycle tracks in Vernon will correspond to probable demand and existing roadway conditions. NACTO-recommended minimum dimensions for a two- way cycle track include two four-foot-wide bicycle lanes and a three-foot-wide buffer. Preferred dimensions include two six-foot-wide bicycle lanes with a five-foot-wide buffer. In configurations next to street parking, it is recommended cycle tracks feature buffers at least 3 feet wide to accommodate vehicle door swing and people exiting parked vehicles. LANE WIDTH (MIN/PREF) BUFFER WIDTH (MIN/PREF) TOTAL WIDTH (MIN/PREF) One-Way Cycle Track 5ft/7ft 3ft/5ft 8ft/12ft One-Way Cycle Track (Raised) 5ft/7ft 1ft/3ft 8ft/10ft Two-Way Cycle Track 4ft/6ft 3ft/5ft 11ft/17ft 77 ALTERNATIVES BUFFER DESIGN OPTIONS Buffers are a critical element to cycle track design and enable bicyclists to feel safely separated from traffic. Buffers are also an opportunity to enhance the user experience and comfort for bicyclists. The most basic buffer options identified in NACTO guidelines are a three-foot-wide striped buffer with reflective flex-posts or a three-foot-wide concrete curb. Options such as planted buffers may be possible with three-foot-wide buffers. Trees require space of four feet or more, but provide a greater degree of perceived security and comfort to bicyclists including shade. Buffers adjacent to parking lanes should accommodate a width of three feet for a car door to open.

Street Trees Wayfinding Raised / Planted Buffer Painted Cycle track Pedestrian lighting 79 ALTERNATIVES At signalized intersections, a cycle track can either traverse the intersection with the existing traffic signals or can have a dedicated bicycle signal phase. Intersection Design BICYCLE SIGNAL PHASE Dedicated signal phasing for bicyclists is necessary for two-way cycle tracks at signalized intersections, but can also be utilized for one-way cycle tracks. The primary benefit of a dedicated bicycle phase is to allow bicyclists to cross through an intersection without the potential for turning vehicles. Dedicated bicycle signals add a phase to the signal timing and could change existing intersection Level of Service (LOS) and require traffic studies to evaluate feasibility. Figure 37: A one-way cycle track with dedicated signal time to allow for complex crossings. This would be applicable at major intersections such as 37th and Soto St. Figure 38: Example of a bicycle signal. CORRIDORS 80 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANE At intersections with a dedicated right tune lane, the one- way cycle track and the turn lane can cross prior to the intersection, as shown in Figure 39. This allows through- bicyclists to avoid potential conflict in the intersection. Where the cycle track merges with and crosses traffic, bold conflict striping can be used to increase visibility. A more protective option is to keep the cycle track to the inside of the dedicated right turn lane and provide dedicated bicycle signal phasing as shown in Figure 41. This can eliminate conflict between turning vehicles and bicyclists. THROUGH/TURN LANE At intersections with a through/right turn lane, a one-way cycle track can be bent in toward the roadway as shown in Figure 40. This increases visibility of the bicyclist to potential turning vehicles and can be coupled with conflict striping and a bicycle box to promote visibility and give bicyclists a head start at green lights. Figure 39: A one-way cycle track adjacent to a dedicated right turn lane. Figure 40: A one-way cycle track adjacent to a through / turn lane. Figure 41: A one-way cycle track adjacent to a dedicated right turn lane with bicycle signal phasing. 81 ALTERNATIVES 37th Street BICYCLE FACILITY OPTIONS There are several possible configuration options available along the 37th Street corridor that would accommodate a cycle track. Two-Way Cycle Track / Current Lane Configuration (Figure 42) This configuration maintains the current organization of lanes along 37th Street and narrows the outer travel- plus-parking lanes down to 11 feet wide, while preserving the width of inner travel and center turn lanes, and provides designated nine-foot-wide parking lanes. This provides 11 feet of space for a cycle track and buffer. Given the oversized existing lane widths, this configuration provides minimum impact to the existing function of the street. By designating parking lanes, it provides clarity to drivers and maintains a parking lane adjacent to the cycle track, which provides an additional buffer for bicyclists and pedestrians. The two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street, which has fewer driveways and intersections than the south side. The north side of the street would also provide a more direct connection to the Bandini-Soto gateway, which is located in the northeast corner of the 37th Street / Soto Street intersection. A two-way cycle track would require a dedicated signal phase to allow bicycle traffic to navigate the intersection without conflicting with vehicular turning movements. This has potential to increase delay and decrease level of service at this intersection. Two-Way Cycle Track / Converts Parking Lane (Figure 43) This configuration converts a parking lane, creates a nine-foot-wide parking lane, and keeps all other through lanes at 11 feet wide. This provides 20 feet for enhanced bicycle facilities. An alternate configuration that converts a parking lane but maintains the parking lane adjacent to the cycle track is possible. Similar to the ‘Current Lane Configuration’, the two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street. 37th Street has eight driveways on the north side and 12 driveways on the south side. Vernon Avenue has 32 driveways on the north side and 29 driveways on the south side. The Leonis/District Boulevard corridor has 51 driveways on the north side and 26 driveways on the south side. One-Way Cycle Track (Figure 44) This configuration narrows the outer travel lanes down to 11 feet wide, preserves the existing 10-foot-wide center turn lane, and provides a designated parking lane in one direction while converting a parking lane in the other. This provides space for 10-foot- wide one-way cycle tracks in each direction. The one-way cycle tracks may allow for existing intersection timing and configurations to be maintained. This configuration would require users traveling to the Bandini-Soto gateway to navigate two major crossings – 37th Street and Soto Street.

Two-Way Cycle Track (Figure 45) This option reconfigures the traffic lanes to have one through lane in each direction with a 10-foot-wide center turn lane. This roadway configuration provides space for a 10-foot-wide two-way cycle track corridor on one side. Although this configuration removes 10 feet of vehicular space, the center turn lane could provide a much needed dedicated space for turning vehicles. The primary benefits of a ‘road diet’ include enhanced safety, mobility, and access for all road users. Four-lane undivided roadways typically experience relatively high crash frequencies, resulting from conflicts between high-speed through traffic, left-turning vehicles, and other road users. There is ample data to suggest a correlation between the conversion of four-lane undivided roadways to three-lane facilities and lower collision rates while maintaining adequate levels of service. (Welch, 1999). The two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street, which has a similar number of driveways but only two intersections and street crossings. The north side of the street would also provide more direct connections to both the Bandini-Soto and Downey Road gateways, which are both located a block north of Vernon Avenue. This configuration represents the minimum recommended dimensions for a two-way cycle track on Vernon Avenue. One-Way Cycle Track (Figure 46) This configuration removes a travel lane in each direction and widens the remaining travel lanes to 12 feet. This provides space for eight-foot-wide one-way protected cycle tracks on each side of the corridor. Though Vernon Avenue is a low-traffic roadway, it has several intersections that require turns and numerous driveways that require vehicles to back up into the roadway. By not having a center turn lane or passing lane, through traffic would be periodically backed up and the roadway LOS would be impacted.

Two-Way Cycle Track / Center Lane Configuration (Figure 47) This configuration converts a combined travel- plus-parking lane to a nine-foot-wide designated parking lane, preserves a 12-foot-wide travel lane, adds a 10-foot-wide center turn lane, and preserves an existing 11-foot-wide travel lane. The center turn lane could provide a much needed dedicated space for turning vehicles. This provides space for a 14-foot-wide two-way cycle track corridor. Given the oversized existing lane widths, this configuration provides minimum impact to the existing function of the street. By designating a parking lane, it provides clarity to drivers and maintains the parking lane adjacent to the cycle track, which provides an additional buffer for bicyclists and pedestrians. The two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street, which has fewer intersections than the south side (on the final leg along District Boulevard). The north side of the street would also provide a more direct connection to the Atlantic Avenue gateway. Two-Way Cycle Track / All Through Configuration (Figure 48) This configuration narrows the outer travel-plus- parking lanes on both sides, eliminating parking but preserving all existing through travel lanes. This provides space for a 12-foot-wide two-way cycle track. This configuration preserves existing through lane roadway function. Although, as previously mentioned, the four-lane undivided roadway configuration has proven to be a particularly hazardous scenario. Similar to the ‘Center Lane Configuration’, this two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street. One-Way Cycle Track (Figure 49) This configuration removes a through lane on each side, provides a 10-foot-wide center turn lane, and designates a nine-foot-wide parking lane on one side. The center turn lane could provide a much needed dedicated space for turning vehicles. This provides space for an eight- foot-wide one-way cycle track on the parking side and a seven-foot-wide one-way cycle track on the other side. The one-way cycle tracks may allow for existing intersection timing and configurations to be maintained. This configuration provides a less direct connection for users traveling to the Atlantic Boulevard gateway, as they will have a major crossing at the intersection of District and Atlantic Boulevards. One-way cycle tracks do, however, meet driver expectations of bicycles moving in the same direction of travel as vehicular traffic. This configuration represents the minimum recommended dimensions for one-way cycle tracks on Leonis Boulevard.

Two-Way Raised Cycle Track/ Current Lane Configuration (Figure 50) This configuration maintains the current organization of lanes along District Boulevard and narrows the four travel lanes down to 11 feet wide, the center turn lane to 10 feet wide, and provides designated eight- foot-wide parking lanes. This provides space for a 10-foot-wide two-way raised cycle track corridor. Given the oversized existing lane widths, this configuration provides the minimum impact to the existing function of the street. By designating parking lanes, it provides clarity to drivers and maintains a parking lane adjacent to the cycle track, which provides an additional buffer for bicyclists and pedestrians. The two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street, which has fewer intersections than the south side. The north side of the street would also provide a more direct connection to the Atlantic Boulevard gateway. Two-Way Cycle Track / Convert Parking Lane Configuration (Figure 51) This configuration narrows all travel lanes to 11 feet wide, the center turn lane to 10 feet wide, and converts parking on one side of the street. A nine-foot-wide designated parking lane is added on the other side. This provides space for a 17-foot-wide two-way cycle track corridor. By designating the parking lane, it provides clarity to drivers and maintains a parking lane adjacent the cycle track, which provides an additional buffer for bicyclists and pedestrians. Similar to the ‘Current Lane Configuration’, the two-way cycle track would be best situated along the north side of the street. One-Way Cycle Track (Figure 52) This configuration narrows all travel lanes to 11 feet wide, the center turn lane to 10 feet wide, and removes parking from one side of the street. A nine-foot-wide designated parking lane is preserved on the other side. This provides space for a nine-foot-wide one-way cycle track on the parking side and an eight-foot-wide cycle track on the other side. The one-way cycle tracks may allow for existing intersection timing and configurations to be maintained. However, it provides a less direct connection for users traveling to the Atlantic Boulevard gateway, as they will have a major crossing at the intersection of District and Atlantic Boulevards. This configuration represents the minimum recommended dimensions for one-way cycle tracks on District Boulevard.

This project explores the conceptual design of four gateways: • 26th Street at the LA River • Bandini Boulevard/Soto Street • Downey Road at the LA River • Atlantic Boulevard at the LA River Figure 53: Project Gateway Locations 0 0.25 0.5 1 Mile Gateways Overview 91 ALTERNATIVES OVERVIEW For each of the four gateways, planning-level concepts include factors of site selection, design theme, and site programming. Approach Site Selection A specific site for each gateway needs to be determined when multiple options exist. This selection will be guided by the evaluation process. Design Theme The design theme is an overarching idea that guides the character and aesthetic of the site design. It may impact form, materiality, and relationship to the surrounding context. Site Programming The site programming determines what activities and amenities will be included in the site conceptual design. GATEWAYS 92 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN A GUIDING LIGHT The LA River Corridor through Vernon is flat with few landmarks. This theme imagines each gateway as a landmark, visible to both individuals riding the LA River Path and people working and driving in Vernon. These landmarks will guide people to the LA River and along it. This design theme explores vertical landmarks, iconic art, landforms, and bold lighting. Design Themes Three potential conceptual design themes are explored for the gateways. Each is evaluated based on site context, stakeholder feedback, and criteria to be developed during the evaluation process. 93 ALTERNATIVES NATURE AT THE EDGE OF INDUSTRY The LA River corridor offers a contrast to industry: running water, vegetation, and animal life. This theme is about creating opportunities for people to get to the edge of the river and to provide a temporary escape from the industrial surroundings in Vernon. This design theme explores landscape, natural materials, terracing, and designs that open up towards the LA River. GATEWAYS 94 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN THE WORKERS’ TIMELESS PLAZA Vernon is an employment hub and the heart of industry in greater Los Angeles. This theme is about embracing the industrial value of Vernon and creating daily opportunities for workers in Vernon to rest. Inspired by historic industrial courtyards, this theme celebrates timeless simplicity, materiality, and craft. This design theme explores tactile surfaces, simple forms, open plazas, and creative seating. 95 ALTERNATIVES OVERVIEW Site programming considers the activities and amenities included in gateway conceptual design. The list of programming options in Table 8 is a preliminary set of options based on community outreach and prior studies that may be considered. As the gateway conceptual designs develop in future phases, programming options will be refined for each specific gateway based on site context, available space, and stakeholder input.

Of the four corners adjacent to the bridge, the only feasible option is the NE corner of the bridge, an LADWP parcel with a large transmission tower on it. This large site offers a range of conceptual design and programming opportunities. Though there is a lot of space, the site is not as active as the other three gateways. Further evaluation is needed to determine how much of the site would be dedicated to the gateway. 26th Street STERICYCLE LOW FLOW CHANNEL LA RIVER POTENTIAL LA RIVER PATH (ELEVATED) 26TH S T R E E T NE Site: Large site adjacent to LA River and 26th St. GATEWAYS 98 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN SITE SELECTION The context around Bandini Boulevard and Soto Street bridges is constrained on the west side of the river. While the east side features a wide utility easement with a lot of space, it lacks the connection to the Bandini-Soto commercial triangle, which is a major destination and opportunity for the LA River Path. The west side site, adjacent to the commercial triangle, features a narrow terrace and larger vegetative areas near each bridge. With a new bridge connection to the LA River landing near Bandini Boulevard, this linear site would offer space for a range of small-scale programming that would cater to workers and the adjacent businesses.

The LA River Path is anticipated to be along the north bank in this location, and both Sites 1 and 2 are well connected to Downey Road and the River. Both sites are LADWP utility tower corridors, and while Site 2 is significantly larger, it lacks existing sidewalks and has major active rail lines that run through it. Site 1 has stronger connections to UPS and offers a more seamless connection to Downey Road bridge.

GATEWAYS 100 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Figure 57: Bandini-Soto Gateway Location Atlantic Boulevard SITE SELECTION The context around Atlantic Boulevard is drastically different between the west and east sides, with a quick transition to commercial and residential areas of Maywood on the west bank and large-scale utility and rail facilities on the east bank. As opposed to the other gateways, at Atlantic there may be an opportunity for a gateway on both sides of the LA River, which would be possible if the path crosses the river near the Atlantic Boulevard bridge. Given the access and terminus of the existing LA River Path, Site 1 offers the greatest potential with an existing at-grade railroad crossing and an adjacent parcel that could be a future park or development opportunity. Site 2 is a smaller triangle, but has the most convenient access to Maywood Elementary School. On the east side, Site 3 would provide space for access and a few small amenities. Site 1: Existing access and future expansion potential. Site 2: Triangle with nearby access to high school.

The criteria were measured against the project’s goals, and fit into three broad categories: Overview Goal 1: Function The criteria within this category assess the most fundamental characteristics of the corridors and gateways, and facilities failing to pass this category are eliminated from further evaluation. • Should it be done? • Would a bikeway on this corridor be safe, make the needed connections, and minimize disruption to existing traffic patterns? • Does a given gateway location connect to a future LA River alignment, and is there available land for the creation of gateway elements? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Goal 2: Feasibility The types of criteria in this category consider available right-of-way, utility and operational conflicts, and order of magnitude costs. • Can it be done? • Would a bikeway on a given corridor be reasonably feasible to implement with manageable risk and effective use of public funds? • Can a connection reasonably be made from a corridor, to a gateway, to the LA River? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Goal 3: Desirability The criteria in this category speak to the potential benefits to the community and the environment. • Will people use it? • Would a given gateway location allow for park like elements to help draw visitors? • Would a corridor improve comfort for people walking and riding bikes? • Will a given design allow for environmental improvements, such as urban cooling and stormwater capture? 2TIER 3TIER 1 1TIER Function, Feasibility, and Desirability. Framing the discussion of evaluation criteria in these three categories helped frame the overall process, while individual criteria within each category speak to specific opportunities and constraints within the project areas. 103 EVALUATION OF Planning-Level CONCEPTS METHODOLOGY Each criterion may apply to corridors or gateways and is measured by either quantitative or qualitative data, as indicated in Table 9. For gateways, each potential gateway site location will be measured against the criteria. A range of metrics for each criterion indicate whether each site is high-performing or low-performing. For corridors, each potential corridor alignment will be measured against the criteria. A range of metrics for each criterion indicate whether each alignment is high-performing or low-performing. These metrics are explained in the following sections.

This configuration would have the least impact on existing driveways, crossing eight driveways (as opposed to 12 if located on the south side). The dual one-way cycle track option would impact a total of 20 driveways. From a predictability standpoint, the two-way option is better due to the installation of dedicated bicycle signal phasing at intersections, which is where a majority of collisions tend to occur. However, two-way cycle tracks are less predictable at driveways because drivers need to look both directions for oncoming bicycle traffic. Two-way cycle tracks can be made more predictable at driveways by utilizing potential design treatments such as a stop condition combined with warning striping that gives priority to vehicle traffic entering and exiting. Existing signalized intersection operations (Level of Service) remain unchanged for both a two-way and one- way design alternative, based on the analyzed intersection configurations. From a connectivity standpoint, a cycle track located on the north side of the corridor would have a more direct connection to the future LA River Path. Between the two two-way cycle track options, option B is preferred from a best practices standpoint, as it provides the widest buffer and operating envelope for bicyclists. It also scores the highest perceived safety, landscape performance, and user experience amongst the alternatives. Trees and landscaping have the potential to provide stormwater capture while adding vertical delineation and shade.

A cycle track on the north side would impact 32 driveways on the north side as compared to 29 on the south side. A dual one-way cycle track alternative would impact 61 driveways. None of the design alternatives would impact street parking, as none is currently available on Vernon Avenue. From a perspective of safety and roadway function, the two-way cycle track alternative is preferred, since it would combine with the addition of a center turn lane on the roadway. This center turn lane creates a refuge for vehicles making left turn movements that would otherwise stop traffic. A two-way cycle track on the north side of the corridor would also have a higher level of connectivity to the future LA River Path and a greater level of predictability at intersections due to the installation of dedicated bicycle signal phasing. In this alternative, the Level of Service would degrade by one grade at two of four signalized intersections, although the LOS would still be D or above throughout the corridor. The configuration of the two-way cycle track on Vernon Avenue follows minimum width guidelines in constrained locations and the two-foot buffer could allow for vertical delineation in the form of a raised concrete island configuration, bollards, or other forms of physical protection.

A cycle track on the north side would impact a total of 27 driveways, compared with 35 on the south side. If dual one-way cycle tracks were pursued, it would impact a total of 62 driveways. From a predictability standpoint, the two-way option would be more predictable at intersections through dedicated bicycle signal phasing. Two-way cycle tracks are less predictable at driveways because drivers need to look both directions for oncoming bicycle traffic. They can be made more predictable at driveways by utilizing potential design treatments such as a stop condition combined with warning striping that gives priority to vehicle traffic entering and exiting. A two-way cycle track would degrade the level of service on all four signalized intersections, with two intersections dropping to LOS F from current levels of C and D respectively. This potential degradation in LOS can be offset in multiple ways. LOS in this corridor is degraded primarily through the introduction of bicycle signal phases. These phases would only trigger when bicyclists are present, so LOS would not be degraded when the signals do not actuate. Additionally, the introduction of a continuous center turn lane through the corridor will reduce queuing caused by turning vehicles at both intersections and mid-block. When the bicycle signals are triggered, it could be an indication of less vehicular traffic on the corridor, as the people riding those bicycles would have otherwise been driving. From a CEQA standpoint, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is an accepted replacement to an LOS analysis. The introduction of a high-quality bicycle facility would reduce VMT, improving the project's performance in a CEQA traffic study. From a connectivity standpoint, a cycle track on the north side of the corridor would have a greater level of connection with the future LA River Path. Parking on Leonis Boulevard is generally provided on one side of the street, often alternating sides, as one moves down the corridor. The two- way cycle track option keeps parking on one side of street and would have minimal impact to parking utilization rates. High Performing High PerformingLow Performing Low Performing Criteria Goals Option B is the preferred alternative from a best practices standpoint, as it provides the widest buffer and operating envelope for bicyclists. It also scores the highest perceived safety, landscape performance, and user experience amongst the alternatives.

This configuration would impact a total of 24 driveways as opposed to 23 on the south side. If a dual one- way cycle track configuration were pursued, a total of 47 driveways would be impacted. The north side of District Boulevard also has less intersections than the south side, a total of three as opposed to eight. A cycle track on the north side would also have a more direct connection to the future LA River Path. A two-way cycle track (Option B) would allow for a wider buffer between the cycle track and travel lanes by removing parking on the north side of the street. The loss of parking could potentially be absorbed by the surface parking lots adjoining many businesses along the corridor. The wider buffer would allow potential shade trees and landscaping that could add to cycle track user experience and comfort while potentially providing stormwater capture. The two-way option would also be more predictable through intersections as a result of dedicated bicycle signal phasing. However, it would be less predictable at driveway crossings, as drivers would have to look both ways for oncoming bicycle traffic, although driveway design can be configured to make the cycle track crossings more predictable by prioritizing the movement of entering and exiting vehicles.

This site has the potential for a direct connection with the future LA River Path and has the most available right-of-way. Due to its large size relative to the other potential gateway locations, park- like amenities and programming could be included along with landscaping, all of which could create habitat and stormwater filtration, and enhance the user experience. Although there is a power line transmission tower located on the NE site, there are precedents of parks located in power line corridors, including some along the south segment of the LA River such as Hollydale Park in South Gate and Salud Park in Paramount. The parcel is in public ownership by the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The remaining three potential gateways locations are all much smaller than the NE site, and thus would not be able to offer much in the way of potential amenities or landscaping. Additionally the NW and SW sites would not have a direct connection with the future LA River Path.

A gateway in this location would have a direct connection with the recommended cycle track configuration for the 37th Street corridor. The commercial property adjacent to this location is largely comprised of food establishments, an ideal adjacent land use from the perspective of visibility and activity, adding to the level of perceived safety. The food establishments would also benefit by directly serving future LA River Path users. If the entire river frontage area at this location becomes available for the gateway, there is an opportunity to add landscaping and interpretive elements that could increase performance through stormwater filtration and enhance user experience. The remaining three potential gateway locations are less desirable from the standpoint of connectivity to the recommended corridor bikeway design and adjacent land use.

The adjacent land use is UPS property consisting of a large parking structure and surface lot. Compared to the three other potential gateway locations, there are no rail conflicts at this location. The size of this potential gateway is large enough to include park-like amenities and landscaping which would add potential shade and stormwater filtration while enhancing user experience. Although there is a large power line transmission tower at this location, there are precedents of parks located in power line corridors, including some along the LA River such as Hollydale Park in South Gate and Salud Park in Paramount.

This location would have a direct connection with the recommended cycle track alignment on Leonis/District Boulevard and a connection with the northern terminus of the existing LA River Path. As such, it would also be connected directly or via a bridge to the southern terminus of the new LA River Path. This gateway would also be the closest to nearby residential neighborhoods and schools to the west, including Vernon Village Park and Maywood Elementary School. Directly across the street from the SE gateway location is an Amazon fulfillment center. In general, there is good visibility and a high level of activity adjacent to the gateway, which increases perceived safety for users. Depending on the ultimate size of this gateway, there may be opportunities to incorporate additional amenities and landscaping for stormwater filtration and to enhance user experience. The other potential gateway locations are less desirable due to possible conflicts with active rail lines and/or limited space for amenities and landscaping.

These highest-ranking alternatives have been developed into more detailed conceptual designs on the following pages. The concepts reflected in this section do not necessarily reflect the City of Vernon's preferred design, but rather the design that scored the highest according to the evaluation process in the previous chapter. Corridor conceptual designs are presented in cross section and plan format, and include conceptual treatments for intersections and overall roadway restriping. Conflict points, such as driveways, intersections, and rail crossings, have been identified. Overview Gateway conceptual designs identify specific locations for the gateways, as well as conceptual layout and content of programmatic elements. As the final design of gateways will likely be influenced by future project partners and adjacent businesses, these designs have been kept high-level in this plan, and cost estimates factor in a degree of uncertainty in the final design. The cost estimates for the corridors are for full roadway reconstruction and are broken down to allow the city to pursue funding from various grant sources. As an interim quick-build measure as a phased approach, the cycle tracks could be implemented with a lower capital cost with paint and delineators. 129 PREFERRED CONCEPTS 9’11’ 11’10’11’ 11’6’14’ 37th StC CORRIDOR CONCEPTS A 2-way cycletrack situated on the north side of the corridor is recommended. This configuration would have the least impact on existing driveways, crossing 8 driveways as opposed to 12 if it were to be located on the south side. A dual one-way cycle track configuration would impact a total of 20 driveways. The 2-way option is more predictable due to the need for dedicated bicycle signal phasing at intersections, which is where a majority of bicyclist involved collisions tend to occur. 2-way cycletracks are less predictable at driveways because drivers need to look both directions for oncoming bicycle traffic. However, 2-way cycletracks can be made more predictable at driveways by utilizing potential design treatments such as a stop condition combined with warning striping that gives priority to vehicle traffic entering and exiting. Existing signalized intersection 37th St operations (Level of Service) remain unchanged for both a 2-way and 1-way design alternative. From a connectivity standpoint, a cycletrack located on the north side of the corridor would have a more direct connection to the future LA River Path. Between the two 2-way cycletrack options, option B is preferred from a best practices standpoint, as it provides the widest buffer and operating envelope for bicyclists. It also scores the highest perceived safety, landscape performance, and user experience amongst the alternatives. Trees and landscaping have the potential to provide stormwater capture while adding vertical delineation and shade. 130 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • .7 miles of protected two-way cycletrack • 48 new street trees • 9,000 square feet of new landscape • Potential direct connection to Bandini-Soto gateway • Potential Stormwater Capture ESTIMATED COST TO COMPLETE In addition to hard costs, the following planning-level estimates include anticipated soft costs, such as environmental clearance, final design, staff hours, and contingency.

133 PREFERRED CONCEPTS 10’10’10’2’8’ Vernon AveA x CORRIDOR CONCEPTS Based on results of the evaluation process a 2-way cycletrack design located on the north side of the corridor is recommended. A cycletrack on the north side would impact 32 driveways on the north side as compared to 29 on the south side. A dual one-way cycletrack alternative would impact 61 driveways. No design alternative would impact street parking, as none is currently available on Vernon Ave. From a perspective of safety and roadway function the two-way cycletrack alternative is preferred since it would combine with the addition of a center turn lane on the roadway. This center turn lane creates a refuge for vehicles making left turn movements into driveways that would otherwise stop traffic and allows vehicles to proceed around larger right-turning vehicles which may block a travel lane. A two-way cycletrack on the north side of the corridor Vernon Ave would also have a higher level of connectivity to the future LA River Path and a greater level of predictability at intersections due to the need for dedicated bicycle signal phasing. In this alternative, the level of service would degrade by one grade at two of four signalized intersections, although the LOS would still be D or above throughout the corridor. The configuration of the 2-way cycletrack on Vernon Ave follows minimum width guidelines in constrained locations and the 2-foot buffer could allow for vertical delineation in the form of a raised concrete island configuration and could also be fitted with bollards or other forms of physical protection. 134 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN I 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r I 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th Slauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon 26thSoto District StateBandi n i AlcoaBoyle46th Vernon 50th 27th Leonis Fruitland 38th 44thSeville Seville55th 25th 26th Atlanti c 48th 51st 49th 57th 37th Paciﬁc52nd 54th 28th Ross45th SlausonSlausonSlauson Ayers MalburgExchange 1stHamptonCoronaVioletGiord2ndSears Union Paciﬁc30th IndianaBickettSunolP e n n i n g t o nSacoLoma VistaIrvingChambers 56th 46th AyersEverett52nd 45th BandiniAlamedaAlamedaAlameda 52n d 49th S DowneySanta FeWash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Wash i n g t o n Fruitland 55thUnion Paciﬁc 37th Vernon B E L L E A S T L O S A N G E L E S H U N T I N G T O N P A R K B E L L C O M M E R C E LOS ANGELES MAYWOOD Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • 1.4 miles of protected two-way cycletrack • New Center Turn Lane • Potential Active Transportation link between City Hall and the LA River Path ESTIMATED COST TO COMPLETE In addition to hard costs, the following planning-level estimates include anticipated soft costs, such as environmental clearance, final design, staff hours, and contingency.

alternative for Leonis Blvd is a two-way cycletrack situated on the north side of the corridor. A cycletrack on the north side would impact a total of 27 driveways vs. 35 on the south side. If a two (2) one-way cycletrack configuration were pursued, it would impact a total of 62 driveways. From a predictability standpoint, the two-way option would be more predictable at intersections through dedicated bicycle signal phasing. 2-way cycletracks are less predictable at driveways because drivers need to look both directions for oncoming bicycle traffic. They can be made more predictable at driveways by utilizing potential design treatments such as a stop condition combined with warning striping that gives priority to vehicle traffic Leonis Blvd entering and exiting. A 2-way cycletrack would degrade the level of service on all 4 signalized intersections with two intersections dropping to LOS F from a current level of C and D respectively. From a connectivity standpoint, a cycletrack on the north side of the corridor would have a greater level of connection with the future LA River Path. Parking on Leonis Blvd is generally provided on one side of the street, often alternating sides, as one moves down the corridor. The 2-way cycletrack option keeps parking on one side of street and would have minimal impact to parking utilization rates. Option B the preferred alternative from a best practices standpoint, as it provides the widest buffer and operating envelope for bicyclists. It also scores the highest perceived safety, landscape performance, and user experience amongst the alternatives. Trees and landscaping have the potential to provide stormwater capture while adding vertical delineation and shade for the comfort of cycletrack users. 138 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • 1.2 miles of protected two-way cycletrack (2.5 miles including District Blvd. portion) • 96 new street trees • 20,000 square feet of new landscape • Potential direct connection to Atlantic Blvd. gateway • New Roadway Configuration adds Center Turn Lane • Potential Stormwater Capture ESTIMATED COST TO COMPLETE In addition to hard costs the following planning- level estimates include anticipated soft costs, such as environmental clearance, final design, staff hours, and contingency.

Los Angeles River Los A n g e l e s R i v e r 9’11’ 11’10’11’ 11’5’12’ District BlvdB CORRIDOR CONCEPTS On the District Blvd segment of the corridor, a 2-way cycletrack on the north side is recommended. This configuration would impact a total of 24 driveways as opposed to 23 on the south side. If a dual one-way cycletrack configuration were pursued, a total of 47 driveways would be impacted. The north side of District boulevard also has less intersections than the south side, a total of 3 as opposed to 8. A cycletrack on the north side would also have a more direct connection to the future LA River Path. Two-way option B would allow for a wider buffer between the cycletrack and travel lanes by removing parking on the north side of the street. The loss of parking could potentially be absorbed by the surface parking lots adjoining many businesses along District Blvd the corridor. The wider buffer would allow potential shade trees and landscaping that could add to cycletrack user experience and comfort while potentially providing stormwater capture. The two-way option would also be more predictable through intersections as a result of dedicated bicycle signal phasing. However, it would be less predictable at driveway crossings, as drivers would have to look both ways for oncoming bicycle traffic, although driveway design can be configured to make the cycletrack crossings more predictable by prioritizing the movement of entering and exiting vehicles. 142 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • 1.3 miles of protected two-way cycletrack (2.5 miles including Leonis Blvd. portion) • 120 new street trees • 20,000 square feet of new landscape • Potential direct connection to Atlantic Blvd. gateway • Potential Stormwater Capture ESTIMATED COST TO COMPLETE The following planning-level estimates include anticipated soft costs, such as environmental clearance, final design, staff hours, and contingency. Costs are broken down into categories based on grant eligibility and the ability to construct a project based upon available funding.

It also provides a summary of LA River stakeholders, projects, and existing resources important for future coordination. To implement the preferred concept designs outlined in previous chapters, the project will need to proceed into future phases, including detailed design and engineering, potential environmental review, potential right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, and construction. This chapter provides details on each of these phases and outlines the next steps involved with bringing the gateway and corridor concepts to reality. Coordination with government, private, and nonprofit partners can help ensure that proposed concepts align with other existing and planned projects. Strategic coordination can also help streamline the review and approval of project designs and create a framework for future operations and maintenance (O&M) of the corridors and gateways. Potential stakeholders in the approval and implementation of the corridor and gateway concept designs include public agencies such as the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), and the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority (MRCA); entities such as the Vernon Business and Industry Commission; nonprofit groups; and community members and residents. EXISTING AND PLANNED PROJECTS It is important for the City of Vernon to continue to coordinate with existing and planned projects along the LA River so that project priorities and designs align. Two key projects are the LA River Path project and those recommended by the Lower LA River Revitalization Plan. LA River Path LA Metro is currently working to complete the LA River Path, a new multimodal path that will connect Vernon to downtown Los Angeles. The completion of the LA River Path will mark the first time a continuous path along the Los Angeles River will span multi-jurisdictional boundaries. Coordination and Partnerships 151 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The LA River Path is currently entering the environmental review phase, and is expected to be completed between 2025 and 2027. As a member of the LA River Path Steering Committee, it is important that the City of Vernon continue to keep informed of project developments to ensure that gateway and corridor designs best align with the future path. Lower LA River Implementation Advisory Group The Lower LA River Implementation Advisory Group (IAG) is responsible for providing guidance for proposed Lower LA River Revitalization Plan (Plan) projects and ensuring that projects are implemented in accordance to the Plan. The Plan includes a number of recommended projects in Vernon, including a path along the river and improved river crossings at 26th Street, Soto Street, Bandini Boulevard, and Downey Road. Coordination with the IAG will be critical for ensuring gateway and corridor designs align with other proposed projects in the city. OTHER RESOURCES River Ranger Program The Los Angeles River Ranger Program provides a framework for River Rangers to offer public safety, outreach, engagement, and educational services along the Los Angeles River. River Rangers have patrolled Los Angeles River Recreation Zones for several years, and in May 2019, MRCA and the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy released the Los Angeles River Ranger Program Establishment Plan to significantly expand the program. The expanded River Ranger Program may be an opportunity for a new model that would streamline multi-jurisdictional coordination along the Los Angeles River. Adopt-a-Trail Adopt-a-Trail programs provide an opportunity for groups, businesses, or clubs to adopt a section of a trail on an annual basis. Trail sponsors support their section of the trail with financial contributions and volunteer work. An Adopt-a-Trail-type program offers Vernon’s business community a chance to take some ownership over the gateways adjacent to their businesses, giving them an opportunity to prominently display their names in exchange for providing resources for needed maintenance work, such as keeping the gateways free of litter and other debris. Los Angeles County also has an Adopt-a- Bike Path Program that could serve as a model for a new program in Vernon. PROJECT PHASING The immediate next phases of the project include detailed design and engineering, potential environmental review, potential ROW acquisition, and construction. Each of these phases will have associated costs and timelines for implementation. Projects can be prioritized for early implementation based on observed and expected user demand, public support and need, ROW availability, funding availability, and existing site conditions. User demand will be evaluated after the LA River Path opens (scheduled for 2028). The City of Vernon will need to seek additional funding to implement future phases of the project. Cost estimates, as well as potential funding opportunities for these phases, are outlined in the following pages. 152 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN COST ESTIMATES The costs associated with the design, engineering, and environmental phases of the project are typically calculated as a percentage of the total construction costs. The design and environmental phases typically range between five and ten percent of the total construction cost, while engineering services are expected to be approximately ten percent. In addition, a ten percent contingency fee is typically applied to support unforeseen costs. The actual costs of these services will vary depending on project phasing, as implementing projects simultaneously will consolidate the potential costs of implementing the projects on a piecemeal basis. Project Cost Estimates The concept design report recommends several corridor and gateway projects that are feasible to construct. The estimated costs associated with designing and constructing these proposed projects vary depending on scale and the level of effort and material involved. High-level cost estimates for each of the proposed projects are included in Table 18. Detailed cost estimates are included in the Appendix. Table 18: Cost Estimates for Design + Construction PROPOSED PROJECT TYPE / LOCATION COST ESTIMATE (IN 2020 DOLLARS) Two-way cycle track Corridor / 37th Street $1,335,021 Two-way cycle track Corridor / Vernon Avenue $1,125,193 Two-way cycle track Corridor / Leonis Blvd + District Blvd $4,016,154 Gateway Gateway / 26th Street $1,566,276 Gateway Gateway / Bandini-Soto $681,810 Gateway Gateway / Downey Road $1,101,240 Gateway Gateway / Atlantic Boulevard $729,460 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) In addition to the costs associated with designing and building the proposed projects, there will also be costs related to future maintenance work. It is recommended that a consistent funding stream and management structure be identified to support future O&M. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES Funding opportunities for design, environmental review, construction, and O&M exist at the federal, state, regional, and local levels. Private funding can also help supplement available public resources. Table 1919 outlines the future project phases and which funding sources could apply to each one. Additional detail on potential funding sources is included in the following pages. These funding opportunities represent available sources in 2019. Additional sources may become available in the coming years, and will be considered once the City of Vernon is ready to move forward with the recommended projects. 153 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY • The California Transportation Commission writes guidelines and allocates funds for the ATP, while the ATP is administered by the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance. • Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68) • The Per Capita Program, Statewide Park Program (SPP), and Recreational Infrastructure Revenue Enhancement (RIRE) Program provide funding for projects that create or improve parks and recreation infrastructure. • Recreational Trails and Greenways Grant Program • Administered by the California Natural Resources Agency, the program funds projects such as non-motorized infrastructure development and improvements that promote access to parks, waterways, and outdoor recreational pursuits. Eligible applicants include local agencies and state conservancies, among others. Local Government Funding/Taxes/Fees Local funding opportunities may take several forms, from government budget allocation to local fees and taxes. These funding sources can be used for future maintenance costs. Specific opportunities may include: • Allocation in government budget or general fund • Local bond measures • Utility lease revenue • Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) • EIFDs were created by the California Legislature in 2015 to allow communities to establish specific districts in which they can collect local property tax revenues to fund local infrastructure projects. The City of Los Angeles is currently exploring an EIFD to fund restoration and other projects along the Los Angeles River. Private Funding + In-Kind Donations POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES Potential funding opportunities exist on the federal, state, and local levels, and also include private sources. Several federal and state grant programs provide funding for bicycle infrastructure or outdoor recreation and open space projects, and are typically administered on a one-time-per-cycle basis. Local government funding, taxes, and fees, as well as private sources, may provide a more long-term funding stream and may be particularly useful for future maintenance work. Federal Sources • Recreational Trails Program (RTP) • Annual federal funding program for recreational trails and trails-related projects. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, public agencies, and nonprofit organizations. The program is administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. • Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) • Administered by the National Park Service, the program supports community- led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects. • Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) • The program funds construction-related projects with a goal of reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. Includes funding for bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements. State Funding • Active Transportation Program (ATP) • The ATP consolidates previous existing state and federal transportation programs, including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program, into a single program geared toward improving active transportation facilities in the State of California. 154 VERNON LA RIVER ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ACCESS PLAN Table 19: Potential Funding Sources by Project Phase DESIGN & ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW ROW ACQUISITION / CONSTRUCTION O&M Federal Sources Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) State and Regional Sources Active Transportation Program (ATP) Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68) Recreational Trails and Greenways Grant Program Local Government Funding/Taxes/Fees Gen.

Dated: _______________, 2020 CITY OF VERNON ________________________________ MELISSA YBARRA, Mayor ATTEST: LISA POPE, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Brian Byun, Senior Deputy City Attorney City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-32-2020 Submitted by: Brandon Gray Submitting Department: Police Department Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT Loan Vehicle Use Agreement with National Insurance Crime Bureau Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Approve and authorize the Police Chief to execute a vehicle use agreement with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) for continued participation in the loan vehicle program. Background: The Vernon Police Department (VPD) aims to continue its participation in the loan vehicle program in partnership with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). The NICB loan vehicle program, specifically for law enforcement, provides pre-owned unmarked vehicles with relatively low mileage to assist law enforcement agencies in investigations related to insurance-related crime or fraud. The loan vehicle program was previously sponsored by the Inter-Insurance Exchange of the Automobile Club (AAA); however, the program was recently taken over by the NICB. There is no cost to participate in this program. There are no extended warranties or licensing agreements with this program. However, the VPD will be responsible for the annual vehicle registration cost as well as related auto insurance. Authorizing the Chief of Police to execute the proposed Vehicle Use Agreement with NICB, will allow the VPD to continue to lease the 2012 Nissan Altima (VIN: 1N4AL2EPXCC260654) that as been assigned to the VPD fleet since 2014. The VPD will be responsible for all vehicle maintenance and operational needs for the one-year period. After the one year, the vehicle can either be returned or retained by extending the vehicle use agreement for an additional year. The VPD plans to maintain the loan vehicle in the Detective Bureau fleet. The vehicle will be used for investigations related to insurance-related crime or fraud, and for surveillance purposes. The loan vehicle has relatively low miles and is in very good condition. Over the past five years, only regular maintenance has been conducted at relatively low costs. City legal staff has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Attachments: 1. NICB Loan Vehicle Use Agreement City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-37-2020 Submitted by: Joanna Moreno Submitting Department: Public Utilities Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT Process of Appointment of Directors to the Central Basin Municipal Water District's Board of Directors Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and, therefore, does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines § 15378; B. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City of Vernon’s participation in the process of appointment of Directors to the Central Basin Municipal Water District’s Board of Directors; and C. Ratify the City Administrator's nomination of Noe Negrete, Director of Public Works and City Engineer for the City of Santa Fe Springs, to serve as a Director representing large purveyors on the Central Basin Municipal Water District's Board. Background: In September 2016, Assembly Bill (AB) 1794 was passed adding three appointed Directors to the Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) governance board. Prior to passage of the bill the board consisted of five elected officials. The bill was enacted to increase transparency and make the water purveyors of the CBMWD district a more integral part of the decision-making process. The prospective candidates are nominated by the agency they represent or by another qualifying agency. Ballots are cast to select the appointed board members and the winning candidate is sworn in as a board member entitled to all privileges granted by the State Water Code and policies of the Central Basin Municipal Water District Legislative Code. The three appointed positions are selected from three categories of purveyors: •Larger Water Users (one vote each) •Cities (one vote each) •At Large Water Users (weighted vote based on number of water connections) Frank Heldman, of Liberty Utilities, was sworn into office in early 2019 as the Director appointed by large water users. Effective November 25, 2019, Frank Heldman submitted his resignation from this position as Director on the CBMWD Board of Directors (“Board”). As such, there is a vacancy with a remaining term of office. The large water users are currently: Golden State Water Co., Liberty Utilities, City of Santa Fe Springs, California Water Services Co., and City of Vernon (“Big 5”). The Big 5 recently met to discuss the existing vacancy and the importance of nominating a candidate within the legislated nomination period. With a deadline of February 3, 2020 approaching, on January 17, 2020, City Administrator Fandino nominated Noe Negrete, City of Santa Fe Springs Public Works Director, to serve as large-water-user-appointed Director on CBMWD’s Board. Staff is requesting ratification of this nomination by the City Administrator, as it deviated from the authority granted by Resolution No. 2016-69, which limited the City's nomination and vote strictly to City employees. Each of the other Big 5 agencies also nominated Mr. Negrete. Although a Vernon Employee or representative was not available to serve on the Board at this time, there is a high probability that the City of Vernon, as one of the Big 5, will someday be nominated to fill one of the appointed director seats. The proposed resolution will repeal Resolution No. 2016-69, clarifying that the City can nominate and vote for qualified candidates for appointment to CBMWD’s Board of Directors per guidelines specified in AB 1794. Moreover, on July 30, 2019, AB 591 was approved by the Governor of the State of California, which provides clarification to the AB 1794 qualification requirements, defining the term “representative” as a consultant to or contractor of an entity, or a governing board member of a mutual water company. In order to qualify, a nominee would have to be employed by, or be a representative of, a qualifying entity. AB 591 is included in the proposed amended resolution. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Attachments: 1. Resolution - Appointment of Directors to the CBMWD Board RESOLUTION NO.

Lisa Pope, City Clerk (SEAL) City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-41-2020 Submitted by: Lisa Umeda Submitting Department: Public Utilities Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT Quitclaim Deeds for Easements with Renewable Resources Group Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Quitclaim Deeds with Renewable Resources Group (“RRG”), to release the encumbrance of easements and quitclaims to ReNu Resources LLC all right, title, and interest that the City of Vernon has or may have in the Easement Property and Easement as defined in the Quitclaim Deeds. Background: On November 19, 2019, RRG approached the City Attorney’s Office with a request to release three (3) particular easements on parcels of land owned by RRG in Kern County (together, the “Easements”). RRG is in the process of selling those parcels and, to facilitate the sale, requested release of the Easements to remove the encumbrances from title. The subject parcels are located to the west of land owned by the City and which the City purchased in 2008 for purposes of developing wind energy resources (see attached map – RRG parcels on which City has easements in green; City parcels in blue). Two of the subject easements are transmission easements; the third is an access easement. After discussing and analyzing the request with VPU, outside consultants, and outside counsel, it was determined that none of the Easements have any value or use to the City and that cooperation with RRG here would have more long-term strategic value than exacting any quid pro quo for release of the Easements. The proposed quitclaim deeds have been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Attachments: 1. GIS Parcel Map 2.

City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-549-2019 Submitted by: Diana Figueroa Submitting Department: City Administration Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT Services Agreement with Southeast Rio Vista Family YMCA (a branch of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles) for Community Based Wellness Programming for the City of Vernon Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the Services Agreement with YMCA Metropolitan Los Angeles/Southeast-Rio Vista Family YMCA is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is an administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and, therefore, does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Services Agreement with the YMCA Metropolitan Los Angeles/Southeast-Rio Vista Family YMCA ("YMCA"), in substantially the same form as submitted, for a one-year term in an amount not-to-exceed $153,519, for community based wellness programming for the City of Vernon. Background: In an effort to make available, to its residential and daytime business population, social and recreational enrichment programs that are generally offered in traditional-type cities, the City of Vernon is recommending the approval of an agreement that establishes a partnership with YMCA Metropolitan Los Angeles/Southeast-Rio Vista Family YMCA ("YMCA"). Benefits yielded through the selection of YMCA as a strategic partner include the proximity of their Maywood facility (Rio Vista) – just 3.7 miles from City Hall – which is well within reach of Vernon, their existing partnership and proven reputation with the City as a Vernon CommUNITY Fund grantee, and their ability to offer programming that is suitable for all ages. Additionally, there are six households in Vernon that are currently members of the YMCA. In accordance with the City's Purchasing Ordinance, a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for City of Vernon Community Based Wellness Programming was issued on December 19, 2019 to solicit responses from organizations that offer the type of services desired by the City. The RFP documentation was posted on the City's website and was distributed directly to a total of fourteen (14) organizations. As of the January 9, 2020 due date for responses, one (1) proposal was submitted. Upon thorough review of the sole proposal received from YMCA, it was deemed to be responsive and responsible. Staff is recommending that YMCA be awarded a Services Agreement in order to effectuate well-rounded, thoughtful, customized wellness programs for Vernon. Highlights of the City's proposed Services Agreement with the YMCA are summarized below: *YMCA agrees to assist in coordinating the usage of facilities in Vernon for convenient access to wellness programming *Two classes per week (a variety of activities) offered at City designated facilities *Family memberships for all Vernon resident households who elect to join the YMCA will be subsidized by the City (reimbursement based payment structure) *Access to recreational sports programs for all Vernon youth residents with enrollment to be subsidized by the City (reimbursement based payment structure) *YMCA will provide an annual report to detail total outcomes and participant feedback *YMCA will participate in promoting programming and recruitment efforts as coordinated by the City Because this type of service is new to the City, the agreement is being proposed for a one-year term only. City leadership may revisit the agreement and its offerings at the conclusion of the one-year term to make necessary modifications based upon level of participation, positive feedback from the community (or otherwise), and overall value. City staff is optimistic that the proposed partnership with the YMCA will tend to specific needs of Vernon while leveraging the expertise and experience of a well established non-profit organization. The proposed Services Agreement with YMCA has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office. Fiscal Impact: The proposed Services Agreement with YMCA will be for a one-year term, in an amount not-to-exceed $153,519. This expenditure has been included in the Community Development Fund budget for fiscal year 2019/2020. Attachments: 1.

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT The City of Vernon is requesting proposals for community based wellness programming for the Vernon population. In an effort to make available social and recreational enrichment programs that are generally offered in cities with larger residential populations, the City of Vernon is seeking to partner with an organization that will assist in its goal to implement programming that addresses the needs of its constituents. The City will select one organization, based on demonstrated competence and a cost effective approach to design, conduct, and assist in the development and administration of community based wellness and enrichment programs for Vernon. 2. BACKGROUND The City of Vernon was founded in 1905, is approximately 5.2 square miles in size and is located approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles California. Over its long history, Vernon has been developed as an industrial community. At the turn of the 20th century the lands that make up Vernon were comprised largely of farmlands. The presence of three major rail lines in the area led influential business and property owners to encourage the railroad companies to run spur lines onto the farmlands. These rail extensions enabled the creation of an “exclusively industrial” city. By the 1920’s, Vernon was attracting large stockyards and meatpacking facilities. In the 1930’s, Vernon became the location of choice for many heavy industrial plants. As economic conditions changed over the decades, these large scale industrial operations have relocated out of Southern California and Vernon has attracted smaller, lighter industrial facilities. The City’s business friendly environment, low cost utilities and key location for trucking and rail transport continue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses. City Government: The City Council consists of five members, elected at-large, who serve five-year staggered terms. The City Council annually appoints a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tem from its own membership to serve one-year terms. Labor Force: Vernon has approximately 280 employees, and its departments include a Fire Department, Police Department, Finance Department, Public Works Department, Public Utilities Department and Health and Environmental Control Department. Present bargaining units recognized include the Vernon Police Officers Benefit Association, Vernon Police Management Association, Vernon Firemen’s Association, the Vernon Fire Management Association, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47, and Teamsters Local 911. 3. CUSTOMIZED WELLNESS PROGRAMMING The City is interested in offering programs to the Vernon population (residential and daytime) that address health and wellness. Because of its unique industrial setting, parks and recreational service offerings for those who work and reside in Vernon are currently lacking. The City is requesting proposals from established organizations that are equipped to participate in the development and administration of customized Vernon programming that will utilize existing facilities in Vernon in conjunction with granting access to resources and facilities that may be located in nearby cities. City of Vernon Community Based Wellness Programming Request for Proposals Page 3 of 9 June 2017 The implementation of programs that promote social, educational, and recreational well- being can empower people and help communities thrive. It is the desire of the City to develop programming that is useful and accessible for the entirety of the Vernon population, all genders and all ages. 4. SCOPE OF SERVICES REQUIRED The City of Vernon is seeking the services of a highly qualified entity to assist in the development and administration of customized community wellness programming for the Vernon residential and daytime population.

City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-34-2020 Submitted by: Mark Aumentado Submitting Department: Public Utilities Meeting Date: February 4, 2020 SUBJECT City Contract No. LP-0510 with A.M. Ortega Construction, Inc. for the 26th Street Bridge Gas Pipeline and Casing Installation Recommendation: A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of an existing facilities and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; B. Accept the sole bid from A.M. Ortega Construction, Inc., (“Ortega”) as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; C. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Construction Contract with Ortega, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, in an amount not to exceed $404,159.00 for the 26th Street Bridge Gas Pipeline and Casing Installation; and D. Authorize a contingency amount of $45,841.00 in the event of an unexpected changed condition in the project and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue Change Orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary. At approximately 11% of the total contract value, the contingency amount requested is typical for this type and size of project. Background: Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) aims to provide reliable electric, gas, water, and fiber service to residents and businesses located within its service area. In an effort to make the gas distribution system more resilient and robust in the northwest corner of the City, staff believes it is prudent to connect two dead ends of the existing gas main creating a loop. Pipeline in distribution systems are classified as either branched or looped systems or a combination of both. Looped systems are preferred as they provide redundancy and overall reliability to serve customers in the event of a line break. Once the break is isolated, gas will still be able to flow and reach its intended destination. Specifically, a loop that will connect the gas distribution system across the 26th Street Bridge will allow VPU to reliably serve natural gas to new customers in the north west corner of the City including National Ready Mix Concrete, while maintaining an appropriate level of service to its existing customers in the area already served by the system. Revenue generated by connecting additional customers to the gas system will help pay for the investment made to complete the project and will also result in the general fund realizing additional sales tax revenue. On December 10, 2019, staff formally issued a notice inviting bids (NIB) for the 26th Street Bridge Gas Pipeline and Casing Installation. On January 6, 2020, the bid deadline, one bid was received and the results are as follows: 1.A. M. Ortega Construction Inc.$ 404,159.00 City staff evaluated the bid and deemed it responsive and responsible. The Engineer’s Estimate prepared for probable cost of construction by contractor of this project was between $450,000.00 and $550,000.00. The proposed Construction Contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. Fiscal Impact: VPU has allocated $600,000.00 in its Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 approved budget for this project. The bid amount of $404,159.00, plus the contingency of $45,841.00, totals $450,000.00, which is within the approved allocated budget to cover the cost of this project. Attachments: 1.

A change order extending the Contract Time only will be issued by the City should the City decide to increase the number of Working Days. 3.03 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION A. Contractor Request for Inspection and Punch List When the Contractor considers that it has achieved Substantial Completion of the Work, or designated portion thereof, Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Director a request for inspection and a comprehensive punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to Final Payment. Failure to include an item on such punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. B. City Inspection Upon receipt of the Contractor's punch list, the Director will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is Substantially Complete. If the inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor's punch list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the City can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor shall, before City's issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by City. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by City to determine Substantial Completion. C. Certificate of Substantial Completion When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Director will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the City and Contractor for security, maintenance, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the Contractor’s punch list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. Contractor shall deliver to City all warranty and guarantee documents and policies. 3.04 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME FOR CONTRACTOR A. The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions to foresee and prevent delays to the Work. In the event of any delay to the Work, the Contractor shall revise his/her sequence of operations, to the extent possible under the terms of the Contract, to offset the delay. B. If any delay to the Work is caused by circumstances within the Contractor's control, it is not excusable and not compensable, and the Contractor will not be entitled to any extension of time or to any other compensation for damages resulting directly or indirectly therefrom. C. If any delay having a direct effect on the Work is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor except for causes of delay specified in Paragraph 3.04-D., such delay may be excusable and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, but not to any other compensation. Excusable but not compensable causes include but are not limited to labor disputes, weather conditions unfavorable for prosecution of the Work, and force majeure. D. If any delay having a direct effect on the Work is caused by failure of the City to provide information as specified, or necessary instructions for carrying on the Work, or to provide the necessary right of way or site for installation, or failure of a utility to remove or relocate an existing facility such delay may be compensable and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, and to compensation for damages resulting directly from any of the causes of delay specified in this paragraph. E. The Contractor shall notify the Director in writing of any delay having a direct effect on the Work and the causes thereof within 15 days from the beginning of such delay. F. Any claim for an extension of time or for compensation for damages resulting from delay shall be made in writing to the Director not more than 30 days after the ending of such delay. The Contractor shall provide a written report evaluating the impact of the delay which shall include, at a minimum, all of the following: 1. a narrative description of the delay and its impact on the critical path to Substantial Completion of the Work or a portion of the Work designated by City; 2. a detailed breakdown of the Allowable Costs, if any, sought by Contractor due to the delay; 3. the number of days of extension sought by Contractor as an adjustment to the Contract time; 4. a statement that Contractor has complied with the requirements of the General Conditions for written notice of delays, along with the dates and copies of such notices; 5. the measures taken by Contractor and Subcontractors to prevent or minimize the delay; and 6. the Contactor’s recommendations for reordering or re-sequencing the Work to avoid or minimize further delay. No extension of time or compensation for damages resulting from delay will be granted unless the delay affects the timely completion of the overall Work under the Contract or the timely completion of a portion of the Work for which a time of completion is specified. G. The Director will investigate the facts and ascertain the extent of the delay, and his/her findings thereon shall be final and conclusive. H. Failure of the Contractor to give written notice of a delay, or to submit or document a claim for an extension of time or for damages resulting from delay in the manner and within the times stated above shall constitute a waiver of all claims thereto. I. When a Contractor experiences two concurrent delays, one compensable and the other excusable, no compensation other than an extension of time will be allowed. J. An extension of time must be approved by the Director to be effective, but an extension of time whether with or without consent of the sureties, shall not release the sureties from their obligations, which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the Contract. 3.05 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS A. The Director may suspend the Work whenever weather conditions or conditions resulting from inclement weather are unfavorable for the prosecution of the Work. The delay caused by such suspension may entitle the Contractor to an extension of time but not to any other compensation. B. If the Contractor believes that Work should be suspended under this Paragraph 3.05, he/she may request such suspension. The delay caused by such suspension may entitle the Contractor to an extension of time but not to any other compensation. C. No extension of time will be granted for suspension of Work unless the suspension affects the timely completion of all Work under the Contract or the timely completion of a portion of the Work for which a time of completion is specified. Determination that the suspension for inclement weather conditions or conditions resulting from inclement weather affects timely completion and entitles the Contractor to an extension of time shall be made and agreed to in writing by the Director and the Contractor on each day that Work is suspended. In the event of failure to agree, the Contractor may protest under the provisions of Paragraph 7.07. D. If Work is suspended and an extension of time is granted under this Paragraph 3.05 the Contractor will be entitled to a one day extension of time for each day that he/she is unable to Work at least one-half of his/her current normal Work day; and if the Work is suspended at the regular starting time on any Work day and the Contractor's Workforce is dismissed as a result thereof, then he/she will be entitled to a one day extension of time whether or not conditions change thereafter and the major portion of the day is suitable for Work. 3.06 COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE A. Upon request by the Contractor, the Director shall conduct a final inspection of the Work. If, in the Director’s opinion, Final Completion has been achieved, the Director will accept the Work by issuing a “Notice of Completion” of the Work to the Contractor. Upon the issuance of the Notice of Completion the Contractor will be relieved from responsibility to protect the Work. B. Within 15 calendar days after issuing the Notice of Completion, the Director will record the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder. 3.07 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES A. Contractor and City agree to liquidate damages in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) per day, with respect to Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time. The Parties intend for the liquidated damages set forth herein to apply to this Contract as set forth in Government Code Section 53069.85. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages are intended to compensate City solely for the Contractor’s failure to meet the deadline for Substantial Completion and shall not excuse Contractor from liability from any other breach, including any failure of the Work to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. B. In the event that Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time, Contractor agrees to pay City the amount specified in the Contract form for each calendar day that Substantial Completion is delayed. C. Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the foregoing liquidated damages have been set based on an evaluation of damages that the City will incur in the event of late completion of the Work. Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the amount of such damages are impossible to ascertain as of the effective date hereof and have agreed to such liquidated damages to fix City’s damages and to avoid later disputes. It is understood and agreed by Contractor that liquidated damages payable pursuant to this Agreement are not a penalty and that such amount are not manifestly unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the effective date of this Agreement. D. It is further mutually agreed that City shall have the right to deduct liquidated damages against progress payments or retainage and that the City will issue a Construction Change Directive and reduce the Contract Sum accordingly. In the event the remaining unpaid Contract Sum is insufficient to cover the full amount of liquidated damages. Contractor shall pay the difference to City. [END OF ARTICLE] ARTICLE 4 - CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 4.01 BASELINE PROJECT SCHEDULE The Contractor shall submit his/her work Baseline Project Schedule, in electronic as well as hard-copy format, to the Director at the pre-construction meeting showing in detail how the Contractor plans to execute and coordinate the Work. The construction schedule shall show the sequence of work, critical path and estimated time for completion of each segment of work. This schedule must be reviewed and accepted by the Director before the Contractor will be permitted to begin work. In addition, the Contractor shall submit a detailed schedule forecasting two (2) weeks of work describing each day’s work. This schedule shall be updated and submitted to the City every other Monday during the construction period. The Contractor shall give 48-hour notice to the City Engineer prior to the start of the work. A. Format 1. At a minimum, the Baseline Project Schedule activities shall be coded on a work discipline basis and by geographic area or location on the Project. The Baseline Project Schedule shall include a detailed description of each activity code. The Baseline Project Schedule shall be based on and incorporate contract milestone and completion dates specified in the Contract Documents. It shall depict events, jobs, and their interrelationships and shall recognize the progress that must be made on one task before subsequent tasks can begin. The schedule shall be comprehensive and shall include all logical interdependencies and interactions required to perform the Work of the Project. 2. Overall time of completion and time of completion for each milestone shown on the Schedule shall adhere to the specified Contract Time, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested by Contractor, agreed to by the City and formalized by Change Order. 3. Contractor shall use the latest version of Microsoft Project or equivalent software agreed to by the parties. 4. The City will review the submitted Baseline Project Schedule for conformance with these scheduling requirements. Within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt, the City will accept the proposed Baseline Project Schedule or will return it with comments. If the proposed Baseline Project Schedule is accepted by the City, it shall be deemed part of the Contract Documents. If the Baseline Project Schedule is not accepted by City, Contractor shall revise the Baseline Project Schedule, in accordance with the recommendations of the City, and re-submit same for acceptance, no later than seven (7) calendar days after receipt of said recommendation. 5. Acceptance of Baseline Project Schedule by City, failure to include an element of work, or inaccuracy in Baseline Project Schedule shall not relieve Contractor from the responsibility for accomplishing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. B. Float 1. Critical Work activities are defined as Work activities which, if delayed or extended, will delay the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. All other Work activities are defined as non-critical Work activities and are considered to have float. Float is defined as the time that a non-critical Work activity can be delayed or extended without delaying the scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. Float is considered a Project resource available to either party or both parties as needed. Once identified, Contractor shall monitor, account for, and maintain float in accordance with Critical Path Methodology. 2. Delays of any non-critical Work shall not be the basis for an extension of Contract Time until the delays consume all float associated with that non-critical Work activity and cause the Work activity to become critical. 3. It is acknowledged that City-caused time savings (i.e., critical path submittal reviews returned in less time than allowed by the Contract Documents, approval of substitution requests which result in a savings of time for Contractor, etc.) create shared float. Accordingly, City-caused delays may be offset by City-caused time savings. C. Weather (This section applies only to projects of one (1) year duration or longer) The completion time contemplated by this Contract anticipates N/A lost days (Work Days) due to normal weather conditions annually and prorated for any duration less than twelve months. Only unusual or extreme weather conditions, as determined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for the time of year will be considered as justification for an extension of time to complete the Project, and only after the N/A weather days have been utilized. Annual weather days are not cumulative, and unused days shall become “float” for the benefit of the project, and the schedule adjusted accordingly. The use of weather days by the Contractor shall be subject to all the conditions of claim for an extension of time. The Contractor shall notify the City in writing within ten (10) days of the commencement of each rain event. D. Early Completion While the Contractor may schedule completion of the Project earlier than the date established by the Contract Documents, no additional compensation shall become due the Contractor for the use of float time between the Contractor’s projected early completion date and the date for Substantial Completion established by the Contract Documents, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested by Contractor, agreed to by the City, and formalized by Change Order. 4.02 SCHEDULE UPDATES A. With each Application for Payment submitted by Contractor (other than the final Application for Payment), the Contractor shall submit to the City an updated Project Schedule revised to indicate the Work completed, status of Work in progress, all progress slippages, corrective actions taken, or slippage carry-over, for all anticipated delays or difficulties, and all other information required to accurately present the actual status of the progress of the Work as of the date of the Application for Payment. If the Contractor does not submit an updated Project Schedule with an Application for Payment, City may withhold payment, in whole or in part, until the updated Project Schedule is submitted. In the event that an update to the Project Schedule indicates a delay to the Contract Time the Contractor shall propose an affirmative plan to correct each such delay, including overtime and/or additional labor, if necessary. In no event shall any Project Schedule update constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time, any deadline, or the Contract Sum unless any such adjustment is agreed to by the City and authorized pursuant to Change Order or Work Directive. B. At no time shall historical data contained within the updated Project Schedule (i.e. completed activities) be removed and/or altered in any way. This historical data is to be preserved within each of the updated Project Schedules and submitted with the final schedule update to reflect the actual start and finish dates for each activity within the Schedule. C. Any work stoppages within individual work activities that exceed seven (7) calendar days in duration shall be clearly indicated within the updated Project Schedule. In cases where unplanned activity work stoppages exceed seven (7) calendar days activities shall be added to the Project Schedule to clearly indicate the work stoppage period and identify forecasted resumption and completion of the activity where work has stopped. Contractor shall clearly note all schedule revisions when Project Schedule updates are submitted, as required in this Paragraph 4.02 above. 4.03 NONCOMPENSABLE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES A. Should the City determine, in its sole judgment, that the performance of the Work has not progressed to the level of completion required by the Contract Documents, City shall have the right to order the Contractor to take corrective measures to expedite the progress of construction, at no additional cost to the City, including, without limitation, the following: 1. Working additional shifts of overtime. 2. Supplying additional manpower, equipment, and/or facilities. 3. Reschedule activities to maximize practical concurrence of accomplishment of activities. 4. Submitting a Recovery Schedule discussed above, for resequencing performance of the Work or other similar measures. 5. Any other actions that may be necessary to mitigate delays. B. Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Work is no longer behind schedule and/or reaches the stage of completion required by the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Sum in connection with the performance of any such Extraordinary Measures required by the City under this Paragraph. The City may exercise the rights furnished the City pursuant to this Paragraph as frequently as the City deems necessary to ensure that the Contractor’s performance of the Work will comply with the Contract Time or interim completion dates set forth in the Contract Documents. If Contractor or its Subcontractors fail to implement or commence Extraordinary Measures within ten (10) calendar days of City’s written demand, City may, without prejudice to other remedies, take corrective action at the expense of the Contractor which shall reduce the Contract Sum accordingly. 4.04 CONDITION OF PAYMENT Compliance by Contractor with the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to preparation, submission, revising and updating of the Schedule is a condition precedent to City’s obligation to make payment to Contractor of any or all sums that might otherwise be due to Contractor in the absence of such noncompliance. Payment by City under circumstances in which City, for any reason, fails or elects not to assert its right to withhold payment for noncompliance with this Paragraph shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to withhold future payments on account of such noncompliance or any other noncompliance. [END OF ARTICLE] ARTICLE 5 - SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF CONTRACT 5.01 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR A. Contractor shall have the right to terminate its performance of the Contract only upon the occurrence of one of the following: 1. The Work is stopped for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, due to: a. the issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction; or b. an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency making material unavailable; and Contractor has given City written notice within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such ground for termination, then the Contractor may, upon thirty (30) additional calendar days written notice to City, unless the reason has theretofore been cured, terminate its performance of the Work. 2. The Work is stopped for a period of 120 consecutive days through no act or fault of Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, because the City has persistently failed to perform any material obligation under the Contract Documents and fails to cure such default within ninety (90) days after the receipt of notice from Contractor stating the nature of such default. B. If Contractor terminates its performance of the Contract in accordance with this Paragraph 5.01, the City shall pay Contractor for the Work executed through the date of termination as set forth in Paragraph 5.04-C below. 5.02 TERMINATION BY THE CITY FOR CAUSE A. Grounds The City shall have the right to terminate the Contractor’s performance of the Contract, in whole or in part, without liability to City if: 1. Contractor fails promptly to begin the Work under the Contract Documents; or 2. Contractor refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials; or 3. Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including conforming to applicable standards set forth therein in constructing the Project, or refuses to remove and replace rejected materials or unacceptable Work; or 4. Contractor discontinues the prosecution of the Work (exclusive of work stoppage: (a) due to termination by City; or (b) due to and during the continuance of a Force Majeure event or suspension by City); or 5. Contractor fails to resume performance of Work which has been suspended or stopped, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from City to do so or (if applicable) after cessation of the event preventing performance; or 6. Any representation or warranty made by Contractor in the Contract Documents or any certificate, schedule, instrument, or other document delivered by Contractor pursuant to the Contract Documents shall have been false or materially misleading when made; or 7. Contractor fails to make payment to Subcontractors or Material Suppliers for materials or labor in accordance with the respective Contract Documents and applicable law; or 8. Contractor disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations, or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; or 9. Contractor is guilty of breach of a provision of the Contract Documents; or 10. Contractor becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and fails to provide City with adequate assurances of Contractor’s ability to satisfy its contractual obligations. A receiver, trustee, or other judicial officer shall not have any right, title, or interest in or to the Contract. Upon that person’s appointment, City has, at its option and sole discretion, the right to immediately cancel the Contract and declare it null and void. B. City’s Rights. When any of the reasons specified in Paragraph 5.02-A exist, the City may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City, and after giving the Contractor five (5) calendar days written notice, terminate Contractor’s performance of the Work, in whole or in part, and may: 1. Take possession of the site and all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment, and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor; 2. Withhold from Contractor amounts unpaid hereunder and to offset such amounts against damages or losses incurred by City; 3. Accept assignment of subcontracts from Contractor, at the sole discretion of City, and 4. Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the City may deem expedient. Upon request of the Contractor, the City shall furnish to the Contractor a detailed accounting of the costs incurred by the City in finishing the Work. C. Costs If City’s costs to complete and damages incurred due to Contractor’s default exceed the unpaid Contract balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. D. Wrongful Termination If it has been adjudicated or otherwise determined that City has wrongfully terminated the Contractor for cause, then said termination shall be deemed converted to a termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph 5.04 and Contractor’s remedy for wrongful termination in such event shall be limited to the recovery of the payments permitted for termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph 5.04. 5.03 PARTIAL DELETION OR SUSPENSION OF WORK BY THE CITY A. Contractor agrees that the City may determine whether any or all of the Work described in the Contract Documents shall be deleted or performance suspended without electing to terminate the Contractor’s performance under the Contract and without any penalty being incurred by the City. B. Any such partial deletion or suspension of the Work shall in no way void or invalidate the Contract nor shall it provide Contractor with any basis for seeking payment from City for Work deleted or suspended except to the extent such Work has already been performed and is otherwise compensable under the Contract. C. The City shall have the right to later have any such suspended or deleted Work performed by Contractor or others without any penalty to the City. D. In the event of any partial or complete deletion or suspension of Work, the City shall furnish Contractor with prompt written notice thereof, and the City shall be entitled to take possession of and have as its property all Record Documents, Accounting Records, and other data prepared by Contractor or its Subcontractors. E. Suspension for Convenience. 1. The City may at any time and from time to time, without cause, order the Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the City may determine. Such order shall be specifically identified as a “Work Suspension Directive” under this Section. 2. Upon receipt of a Work Suspension Directive, Contractor shall, at the City’s expense, comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize costs allocable to the Work covered by the Work Suspension Directive during the period of Work stoppage. 3. Within the period of suspension, or such extension to that period as is agreed upon by Contractor and the City, the City shall either cancel the Work Suspension Directive or delete the Work covered by such Work Suspension Directive by issuing a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. 4. If a Work Suspension Directive is cancelled or expires, Contractor shall continue the Work. A Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be issued to cover any adjustments of the Contract Sum and Contract Time necessarily caused by such suspension. No adjustment shall be made to the extent: (a) That performance is, was, or would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or (b) That an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract. F. Suspensions for Cause City has the authority by written order to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, without liability to City for Contractor’s failure to: 1. Correct conditions unsafe for the Project personnel or general public, or 2. Carry out the Contract; or 3. Carry out orders of City. G. Responsibilities of Contractor During Suspension Periods During periods that Work is suspended, Contractor shall continue to be responsible for the Work and shall prevent damage or injury to the Project, provide for drainage, and shall erect necessary temporary structures, signs or other facilities required to maintain the Project and continue to perform according to the Contract Documents. 5.04 TERMINATION BY THE CITY FOR CONVENIENCE A. Grounds Without limiting any rights which City may have by reason of any default by Contractor hereunder, City may terminate Contractor’s performance of the Contract, in whole or in part, at any time, for convenience upon fifteen (15)-calendar-day written notice to Contractor. B. Contractor Actions Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor shall perform the duties required by Paragraph 5.05 below. At the election of and as directed by the City, any or all of the subcontracts and purchase orders entered in to by Contractor prior to the effective date of termination shall be terminated or shall be assigned to City. C. Compensation 1. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of a termination settlement, the City shall pay the Contractor the following amounts: a. For Work performed before the effective date of termination, the total (without duplication of any items) of: i. The cost of the Work; and ii. A sum, as overhead and profit on the cost of the Work, determined by the City to be fair and reasonable. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover overhead or profit on Work not performed. b. The reasonable costs of settlement of the Work terminated, including: i. Accounting, clerical, and other expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation of termination settlement proposals and supporting data, if any; and ii. Storage, transportation, and other costs reasonably necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of inventory. 2. Such payment shall be Contractor’s exclusive remedy for termination for convenience and will be due and payable on the same conditions as set forth for final payment to the extent applicable. Upon receipt of such payment, the Contractor and City shall have no further obligations to each other except for Contractor’s obligations with respect to warranties, representations, indemnity, maintenance of insurance, and other obligations that survive termination or Final Completion as provided for herein. 3. It is understood and agreed that no fee, anticipated profit, compensation for lost opportunity costs, or other compensation or payment of any kind or character shall be due or payable for unperformed Work regardless of the basis of termination and the inclusion of this provision within this subparagraph shall in no way limit its application to termination under this Paragraph. 4. Contractor agrees that each of its subcontracts will reserve for the Contractor the same right of termination for convenience provided by this Paragraph 5.04. D. No Consequential Damages Under no circumstances shall Contractor be entitled to anticipatory or unearned profits or consequential or other damages as a result of a termination or partial termination under this Article 5. The payment to Contractor determined in accordance with this Article constitutes Contractor’s exclusive remedy for a termination hereunder. 5.05 CONTRACTOR’S DUTIES UPON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR CONVENIENCE If the City terminates Contractor’s performance of Work under the Contract, for cause or convenience or if Contractor terminates a Subcontractor with the City’s approval, Contractor shall: (1) cease performance of the Work to the extent specified in the notice; (2) take actions necessary or that the City may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work; (3) settle outstanding liabilities, as directed by City; (4) transfer title and deliver to City Work in progress, specialized equipment necessary to perform the Work; (5) submit all Record Documents, Accounting Records and other data prepared pursuant to the Contract by Contractor and/or its Subcontractors, as applicable, to the City with fifteen (15) calendar days after the City’s notice of termination in an organized, usable form, in both hard copy and electronic/digital form, with all items properly labeled to the degree of detail specified by the City; and, (6) except for Work directed by City to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the notice, incur no further costs or expenses and enter into no further subcontracts and purchase orders. No compensation shall be due Contractor, if any, until Contractor complies with the requirements of this Paragraph. [END OF ARTICLE] ARTICLE 6 – CHANGES 6.01 CITY'S RIGHT TO ORDER CHANGES The City, without invalidating the Contract, may authorize changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions, with the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly, if necessary. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order or Construction Change Directive and Contractor shall perform such changes in the Work according to the applicable requirements of the Contract Documents. 6.02 APPLICABLE PROVISIONS Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall proceed promptly and diligently with the change, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Construction Change Directive. It is of the essence to this Contract that all scope changes in the Work that form the basis of an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time must be authorized in advance in writing through either a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. A change in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time shall be accomplished only by Change Order or Construction Change Directive. Accordingly, no verbal directions, course of conduct or dealings between the Parties, express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, or claim that the Contract has been abandoned or the City has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to the Work shall be the basis of any claim for an increase in any amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period provided in the Contract Documents. 6.03 NOTICE OF SCOPE CHANGE Contractor shall submit written notice of any change in scope to the Director if, in the Contractor’s opinion, any instruction, request, Drawings, Specifications, action, condition, omission, default, or other situation occurs that the Contractor believes constitutes a scope change or other matter resulting in Extra Work, for which Contractor believes it is entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Such notice shall be provided prior to performance of the Work affected by such occurrence and within seven (7) calendar days after the discovery date of the circumstances of such scope change or other matters. The written notice shall state the date, circumstances, extent of adjustment to the Contact Sum or the Contract Time, if any, requested. The mere presentation of such notice shall not establish the existence of any right by Contractor to adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Failure to provide such timely written notice described herein shall constitute a waiver by Contractor of the right to any adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time on account thereof. 6.04 CHANGE ORDERS A. Computation Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum by Change Order may include those listed in Paragraph 6.06 below. B. Accord and Satisfaction Agreement on any Change Order shall be a full compromise and settlement of all adjustments to Contract Time and Contract Sum, and compensation for any and all delay, extended or additional field and home office overhead, disruption, acceleration, inefficiencies, lost labor or equipment productivity, differing Site conditions, construction interferences and other extraordinary or consequential damages (hereinafter called "Impacts"), including any ripple or cumulative effects of said Impacts on the overall Work under the Contract arising directly or indirectly from the performance of Work described in the Change Order. By execution of any Change Order, Contractor agrees that the Change Order constitutes a complete accord and satisfaction with respect to all claims for schedule extension, Impacts, or any costs of whatever nature, character or kind arising out of or incidental to the Change Order. No action, conduct, omission, product failure or course of dealing by the City shall act to waive, modify, change, or alter the requirement that (i) Change Order's must be in writing, signed by the City and Contractor and; (ii) that such written Change Orders are the exclusive method for effectuating any change to the Contract Sum and/or Contract Time. 6.05 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVE (FIELD DIRECTIVE) A. A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order. The City may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletion, or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. B. If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 6.06 herein (Pricing Changes in the Work). C. Upon receipt of the Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the City of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive, for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. D. If Contractor believes a Construction Change Directive constitutes a basis for adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, then Contractor shall give a Notice of Scope Change provided in Paragraph 6.03, followed by a submission of a Change Order Request as required by Paragraph 6.08. Contractor shall, if requested by City in such Construction Change Directive or in a subsequent Construction Change Directive, proceed with the performance of the Work as described in the Construction Change Directive. Failure of Contractor to proceed with the performance of Work, as described in the Construction Change Directive shall give the City the right to carry out the Work, as set forth in Paragraph 2.05. E. A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order. F. If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the City on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an increase in the Contract Sum, Allowable Mark-Ups in accordance with Paragraph 6.06(E) herein. 6.06 PRICING CHANGES IN THE WORK A. Alternative Methods of Pricing The amount of any adjustment by Change Order or Construction Change Directive increasing or decreasing the Contract Sum shall be determined by the Director using one or a combination of the following methods: 1. Lump Sum. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum proposal from Contractor properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation. Such proposal shall be based solely on Allowable Costs, as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-C, and Allowable Mark-Ups, as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-E, and shall not include any costs or expense that is not permitted by the terms of any provision of the Contract Documents. 2. Unit Prices. By unit prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the Contract Documents or fixed by subsequent agreement between City and Contractor. Unless otherwise stated in the Bidding Documents, unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or agreed upon by the County and Contractor shall be deemed to include and encompass all Allowable Markups. 3. Time and Materials. By calculating the actual Allowable Costs directly incurred, plus a sum for Allowable Mark-Ups on such Allowable Costs. 4. Deletion of Work. By Unit Prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the Contract Documents, or by using the Schedule of Values to determine the value of the decrease of the Contract Sum, less the value of any Work performed, plus a reasonable percentage of the decrease for the Contractor’s saved overhead unless the Schedule of Values allocates general conditions costs to individual line items, in which case no percentage of the decrease shall be added. When a change consists of both addition and deletion of Work, the added costs and deleted costs shall be calculated separately, and then added together, resulting in the net cost for the change. The Allowable Mark-Up shall be applied to this net cost. B. Contractor Maintenance of Daily Records for Changes 1. In the event that Contractor is directed to perform any Extra Work, or should Contractor encounter conditions which the Contractor believes would obligate the City to adjust the Contract Sum and/or the Contract Time, Contractor shall maintain detailed records of the cost of such changes on a daily basis summarized in a daily report supplemented by back-up records. Such records shall include without limitation: a. Labor. At the close of each day on which such Extra Work is performed, Contractor shall submit an Extra Work labor report, on forms provided by Director, to Director that sets forth a list of the actual hours spent in performing the Extra Work, that clearly differentiates between the labor expended on the Extra Work and other Work, and the Allowable Costs for such Extra Work performed that day showing the names of workers, their classifications, hours worked and hourly rates. b. Materials, Equipment. A list of Allowable Costs of materials and equipment consumed in the performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such Extra Work is performed, together with copies of applicable delivery tickets and unit prices for all materials and for all equipment used the type of equipment, identification number, hours of operation (including loading and transportation) and hourly/daily rates involved for that day. c. Other Services or Expenditures. A list of other services and expenditures constituting Allowable Costs incurred in performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such Extra Work is performed, along with documentation verifying the amounts thereof in such detail as Director may require. 2. In the event that more than one change to the Work is performed by the Contractor in a calendar day, Contractor shall maintain separate records of labor, construction equipment, materials, and equipment for each such change. In the event that any Subcontractor of any tier shall provide or perform any portion of any change to the Work, Contractor shall require that each such Subcontractor maintain records in accordance with this Section. 3. Each daily record maintained hereunder shall be signed by Contractor; such signature shall be deemed Contractor’s representation and warranty that all information contained therein is true, accurate, complete, and relates only to the change referenced therein. All records maintained by Subcontractors of any tier, relating to the costs of a change in the Work shall be signed by such Subcontractor’s authorized project manager or superintendent. All such records shall be forwarded to the Director on the day the Work is performed (same day) for independent verification. The Director shall attempt to review and reconcile costs for changes on a daily basis. Records not available on the day on which the Extra Work is performed, such as, but not limited to, material invoices, shall be submitted as soon as they are available but not later than five (5) calendar days after the earlier of the day of delivery or incorporation of the particular item of Extra Work at the Site. 4. The Director may additionally require authentication of all time and material tickets and invoices by persons designated by the Director for such purpose. In the event that Contractor shall fail or refuse, for any reason, to maintain or make available for inspection, review, and/or reproduction such records, adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, if any, on account of any change to the Work may be deemed waived for that day. Contractor’s obligation to maintain back-up records hereunder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other Contractor obligation under the Contract Documents with respect to changes to the Work. 5. Waiver by Contractor. Failure to submit such records as are required by this Paragraph daily shall waive any rights for recovery of Allowable Costs incurred for Extra Work performed that day. The failure of the Contractor to secure any required authentication shall, if the City elects in its sole discretion to treat it as such, constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any right to adjustment of the Contract Sum for the Allowable Cost of all or that portion of the Extra Work covered by such non-authenticated ticket or invoice. C. Allowable Costs The term “Allowable Costs” shall mean in the case of Extra Work actual costs incurred by Contractor and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and necessarily involved in direct performance of the Extra Work, or in the case of deleted work the actual costs that would have been incurred in performing deleted work by Contractor and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and shall be limited to the following costs: 1. Labor. Straight-time wages or salaries, and overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized by City in writing, for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the direct performance of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance of the deleted work, based on the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of workers at the time the Extra Work is done or the deleted work is ordered eliminated. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. The use of labor classification which would increase the Allowable Cost for Extra Work will not be permitted unless Contractor establishes the necessity for such additional costs. 2. Benefits. Payroll taxes, insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds and benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements for employees on straight-time wages or salaries, and on overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized by City in writing, for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the direct performance of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance of the deleted work. 3. Materials, Consumables. Costs of materials and consumable items which are furnished and incorporated into the Work, as approved by City, or that would have been incorporated into the Work in the case of deleted work shall be at the lowest price available to Contractor but in no event shall such costs exceed competitive wholesale prices obtainable from other Subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors in the general vicinity of the site. If City determines, in its discretion, that the cost of materials is excessive, or if Contractor fails to furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost from the actual supplier thereof, then in either case the cost of the materials shall be deemed to be the lowest wholesale price at which similar materials are available in the quantities required at the time they were needed. The City reserves the right to furnish such materials as it deems advisable, and Contractor shall have no claim for costs or profits on materials so furnished. Material invoices must be included with the extra work report to obtain payment. 4. Taxes. Sales taxes on the costs of materials and consumable items described in Paragraph 5.04-C.3 above. 5. Tool, Equipment Rental. Rental charges for necessary machinery and equipment, whether owned or hired, as authorized in writing by City, exclusive of hand tools, used directly in the performance of the Extra Work or that would have been used in the direct performance of the deleted work. Regardless of ownership, such rental charges shall not exceed the hourly rate derived from the most recently published “Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment” or the “Rental Rate Blue Book for Older Construction Equipment,” as published by K-111, San Jose, California, which is in effect at the time of commencement of the changed work. The Contractor shall attach a copy of the rate schedule to the daily reports required by Paragraph 6.06-B, above. The charges for any machinery and equipment shall cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the Extra Work or deleted work. No charge shall be allowed for use of equipment or tools which have a replacement value of $500 or less. The allowable rental rates shall include the cost of fuel, power oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, loading, transportation, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6.06-E below, no mark-up shall be allowed for overhead, profit or bond premiums for use of equipment if the equipment is supplied by an equipment rental firm. If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at less expense to City than holding it at the Site, it shall be returned, unless Contractor elects to keep it at the Site at no expense to City. Costs incurred while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns, regular maintenance, or for non-Working Days shall not be allowed. The rental time shall include the time required to move the equipment to the Work from the nearest available source for rental of such equipment and to return it to the source. If such equipment is not moved by its own power, then loading and transportation will be allowed. Neither moving time nor loading and transportation costs will be paid if the equipment is for use on the Project unrelated to the Extra Work. All equipment shall be acceptable to City, in good working condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used. 6. Royalties. Additional or saved costs of royalties due to the performance of the Extra Work or deleted work. 7. Insurance, Bonds. Additional or saved costs of insurance and bonds, provided, however, that for Extra Work such costs shall not exceed one percent (1%) of Items 1 through 6 above. D. Costs Not Allowed Allowable Costs shall not include any of the following: 1. Wages, salaries, fringe benefits and payroll taxes of Contractor’s and all Subcontractor’s non- craft labor (above a Foreman level); 2. Overhead (including home office overhead), administrative or general expenses of any kind including engineering, estimating, scheduling, drafting, detailing, etc., incurred in connection with Extra Work; 3. Vehicles not dedicated solely for the performance of the extra of deleted work; 4. Small tools (replacement value not exceeding $500); 5. Office expenses, including secretarial and administrative staff, materials and supplies; 6. On-site and off-site trailer and storage rental and expenses; 7. Site fencing; 8. Utilities, including gas, electric, sewer, water, telephone, telefax, copier equipment; 9. Computer and data processing personnel, equipment and software; 10. Federal, state of local business income and franchise taxes; 11. Losses of efficiency or productivity; and 12. Costs and expenses of any kind or item not specifically and expressly included in Paragraph 6.06-C. E. Allowable Mark-Up 1. Extra Work by contractor (Markup): The following percentages shall be added to the Contractor’s costs and shall constitute the markup for all overhead and profits: Labor 33% Materials 15% Equipment Rental 15% Other Items and Expenditures 15% 2. Extra Work by Subcontractor (Markup): When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a Subcontractor, the markup provided for the Contractor in 6.06.E.1 shall apply to the Subcontractor’s actual costs. A markup of 5% on the subcontracted portion of each extra work may be added for the Contractor. F. Net Allowable Costs If anyone scope change involves both Extra Work and deleted work in the same portion of the Work and the additive allowable costs exceed the deductive allowable costs, the Allowable Markups on the Extra Work will be only the difference between the two amounts. 6.07 CITY ORIGINATED REQUEST FOR ITEMIZED CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL REQUEST City may issue a Construction Change Directive or other written request to Contractor describing a proposed change to the Work and requesting the Contractor submit an itemized change order proposal in a format acceptable to City within ten (10) calendar days after City issues the request. The Contractor's change order proposal shall include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform additional work, change Work or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates of costs (broken down by the cost categories listed in this Paragraph), and Contractor's proposed methods to minimize costs, delay, and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Contractor fails to submit a written change order proposal within such period of time, it shall be presumed that the change described in the City's original proposal request will not result in an increase to the Contract Sum or Contract Time and the change shall be performed by Contractor without additional compensation to Contractor. City's request for itemized change order proposal request does not authorize the Contractor to commence performance of the change. If City desires that the proposed change be performed, the Work shall be authorized according to the Change Order or Construction Change Directive procedures set forth herein. 6.08 CONTRACTOR ORIGINATED CHANGE ORDER REQUEST (COR) If the Contractor believes that instructions issued by the City after the effective date of the Contract will result in changes to the Contract Sum or Contract Time or if the Contractor otherwise becomes aware of the need for or desirability of a change in the Work, Contractor may submit a written Change Order Request ("COR") to the City in writing, in a format acceptable to City and in accordance with the notice provisions and other requirements of Article 7 below for Claims. The COR must specify the reasons for the proposed change, cost impacts and relevant circumstances and impacts on the Construction Schedule. The document shall be complete in its description of the Work, its material and labor quantities and detail, and must support and justify the costs and credits claimed by the Contractor. A Critical Path Method schedule Fragnet is required to support and justify any additional time of performance requested by the Contractor. The City will not review any COR which is incomplete. The Contractor may request additional compensation and/or time through a COR but not for instances that occurred more than ten (10) calendar days prior to the notice date. Contractor's failure to initiate a COR within this ten-day period or to provide detailed back-up documentation to substantiate the COR within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial written notice shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the Contract Sum or the Contract Time for the alleged change. Any COR that is approved by the City shall be incorporated in a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. If the COR is denied but the Contractor believes that it does have merit, the Contractor shall proceed with the disputed Work and may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 6.09 ISSUANCE OF WORK DIRECTIVE (UNILATERAL). In the event of a dispute as to whether or not Extra Work is required, City shall have the right to unilaterally issue a Work Directive; Contractor shall continue performance of disputed Work pending resolution and shall maintain and submit to City all accounting and cost data necessary to substantiate Contractor’s cost of such disputed Work. [END OF ARTICLE] ARTICLE 7 - CONTRACT PAYMENTS AND CLAIMS 7.01 GENERAL A. Payment will be made at the price for each item listed on the bidding form or as Extra Work as provided in the General Conditions. B. Initial progress payment will not be made prior to approval by the Director of the Schedule of Values, the Construction Progress Schedule, and the Schedule of Submittals. C. No subsequent progress payment will be made prior to receipt by the Director of the monthly revision of the Construction Progress Schedule. 7.02 SCHEDULE OF VALUES FOR PAYMENTS A. Submission Upon City’s request, the three (3) lowest bidders shall complete and submit a Preliminary Schedule of Values, within seven (7) calendar days. In addition, Contractor shall complete and furnish within seven (7) calendar days after receiving the Notice of Award of the Construction Contract a Final Schedule of Values giving a complete breakdown of the Contract Sum for each component of the Work. B. Content The Schedule of Values shall be in sufficient detail as the Director may, in its discretion, deem necessary to evaluate progress at any point in the performance of the Work. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, the Schedule of Values shall include, without limitation, a breakdown of the general categories of Subcontractor work, direct overhead, profit and contingency, and a further breakdown of the general categories of Subcontractor work into separate trade line items of costs for Subcontractor services, labor and material, which is based on actual Subcontractor contract, subcontract, purchase order or vendor prices. If requested by Director, Contractor shall revise the Schedule of Values to allocate sums for Contractor overhead, profit and/or contingency among the individual line items for trade portions of the Work. No amounts shall be reflected in the Schedule of Values or Application for Payment for Extra Work or Deleted Work for which a Change Order has not been executed by Contractor and City or for which a Construction Change Directive has not been issued by City. Amounts that have been mutually agreed to by Change Order or unilaterally determined by City pursuant to a Construction Change Directive shall be segregated from the cost of the base Contract Work and separately listed by line item in the Schedule of Values. The Schedule of Values must be prepared in sufficient detail and supported by sufficient data to substantiate its accuracy as the Director may require. C. Applications for Payment The Schedule of Values, when approved by the Director, shall be used as a basis for Contractor's Applications for Payment and may be considered as fixing a basis for adjustments to the Contract Sum. D. Revisions If, at any time, it is determined that the Schedule of Values does not allocate the Contract Sum in a manner that reasonably and fairly reflects the actual costs anticipated to be progressively incurred by Contractor, it shall be revised and resubmitted for the Director’s approval. 7.03 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT A. Marked Schedule of Values Five (5) Days prior to the date set forth in Paragraph 7.03-B below for the monthly progress payment meeting, Contractor shall submit to Director a copy of the proposed Schedule of Values, marked to show the percentage of completion certified by Contractor for each line item in the Schedule of Values, including any stored materials approved for payment by City pursuant to Paragraph 7.03-D, below and any withholdings from Contractor proposed by Director. B. Monthly Review For the purpose of expediting the progress payment procedure, Contractor shall meet with the Director on or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month to review the Contractor's marked Schedule of Values prepared in accordance with Paragraph 7.03-A, above. The Director shall revise as appropriate and sign the marked Schedule of Values to verify such review. If any item in the marked Schedule of Values submitted for payment is disputed during this review, Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to resolve the disputed items with the Director before submitting its Application for Payment. If the Director and Contractor cannot agree, then the percentage completion shall be established at such percentage as the Director, in good faith, determines is appropriate to the actual progress of the Work. No inaccuracy or error in the Director’s good faith estimate shall operate to release Contractor or Surety from any responsibility or liability arising from or related to performance of the Work. The Director shall have the right subsequently to correct any error and dispute any item submitted in Contractor's Application for Payment, regardless of whether an item was identified as disputed in the review process provided for herein. C. Certification Each Application for Payment shall be signed and certified by Contractor under penalty of perjury to City that: 1. the data comprising the Application for Payment is accurate and the Work has progressed to the point indicated; 2. to the best of Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents; 3. Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified; and 4. all sums previously applied for by Contractor on account of Work performed by Subcontractors and that have been paid by City have been paid to the Subcontractors performing such Work, without any retention, withholding or backcharge by Contractor. D. Stored Materials Payments may be made by City, at its discretion, on account of materials or equipment not incorporated into the Work but delivered on the ground at the Site and suitably stored by Contractor or stored off-Site under the control of City. Such payments shall only be considered upon submission by Contractor of satisfactory evidence that it has acquired title to same, that the material or equipment will be utilized in the Work and that the material is satisfactorily stored, protected and insured, and that such other procedures are in place satisfactory to City to protect City's interests. To be considered for payment, materials or equipment stored off-Site shall, in addition to the above requirements and unless otherwise specifically approved by City in writing, be stored in a bonded warehouse, fully insured, and available to City for inspection. City shall have sole discretion to determine the amount of material and equipment that may be stored on the Site at any given time. 7.04 PROGRESS PAYMENTS A. Conditions to Progress Payments Contractor shall submit its Application for Payment to the Director, using such forms as required by City, once a month on or before the first (1st) Day of the month following the month in which the Work that is the subject of such Application for Payment was performed. Without limitation to any other provisions of the Contract Documents, the following shall be conditions precedent to a proper submission and to the Director approval of each Application for Payment: 1. submission of a Schedule of Values that reflects the percentages of completion either agreed to or determined by Director in accordance with Paragraph 7.03-B, above; 2. submission of the Contractor's certification required by Paragraph 7.03-C, above; 3. submission of conditional releases of stop notice, if any, and bond rights upon progress payment, complying with California Civil Code Section 8132, for all Work performed during the time period covered by the current Application for Payment, signed by Contractor, its Subcontractors of every tier, and all material suppliers to each, and (2) forms of unconditional release of stop notice and bond rights upon progress payment, complying with California Civil Code Section 8134 for all Work performed during the time period covered by the previous Application for Payment, signed by Contractor, its Subcontractors of every tier and all material suppliers to each; 4. compliance by Contractor with its obligation for maintenance of As-Builts as required by the Contract Documents; 5. compliance by Contractor with its obligation for submission of monthly and daily reports as required by the Contract Documents; 6. compliance by Contractor with its obligations for submission of scheduling information and updating of the Construction Schedule as required by Article 4, above and other provisions of the Contract Documents pertaining to preparation or updating of schedule information; 7. submission of certified payroll records as required by the Contract Documents; 8. submission of certifications by Contractor and each Subcontractor as required by applicable collective bargaining agreements certifying that all employee benefit contributions due and owing pursuant to any applicable collective bargaining agreement have been paid in full; and 9. compliance by Contractor with all of its other obligations for submission of documentation or performance of conditions which, by the terms of the Contract Documents, constitute conditions to Contractor's right to receive payment for Work performed. B. Payments by City Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 20104.50, City shall make progress payment of undisputed sums due within thirty (30) Days after receipt by Director of an undisputed and properly submitted Application for Payment, calculated on the basis of ninety-five percent (95%) of value determined pursuant to Paragraph 7.03-B above of the following: 1. the portion of the Work permanently installed and in place; 2. plus, the value of materials delivered on the ground or in storage as approved by City pursuant to Paragraph 7.03-D, above, 3. less, the aggregate of previous payments, and 4. less, any other withholdings authorized by the Contract Documents. C. Rejection by City Any Application for Payment determined not to be undisputed, proper and suitable for payment shall be returned to Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) Days, after receipt by City accompanied by an written explanation of the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Failure by City or Director to either timely reject an Application for Payment or specify any grounds for rejection shall not constitute a waiver of any rights by City. Applications for Payment that are rejected shall be corrected and resubmitted within seven (7) Days after receipt by Contractor. D. Interest If City fails to make a progress payment to Contractor as required by Paragraph 7.04-B, above, City shall pay interest to Contractor equivalent to the legal rate set forth in subdivision (a) of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 685.010. The number of Days available to City to make payment pursuant to Paragraph 7.04-B, above without incurring interest pursuant to this Paragraph shall be reduced by the number of Days by which City exceeds the seven (7) Day return requirement applicable to City as set forth in Paragraph 7.04-C, above. 7.05 FINAL PAYMENT A. Retention ln addition to withholdings permitted by Paragraph 7.09 below, a sum equal to five percent (5%) of all sums otherwise due to Contractor as progress payments shall be withheld by city pursuant to Paragraph 7.04-B from each progress payment (“Retention”) and retained until such time as it is due as described herein. A higher Retention amount may be approved by the City Council where project is deemed “substantially complex” by City Council. B. Conditions to Final Payment Contractor shall submit its Application for Final Payment, using such forms as required by Director, prior to requesting a final inspection of the Work in accordance with Paragraph 3.06 above. Such Application for Final Payment shall be accompanied by all the following: 1. an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Project for which City or City's property or funds might be liable have been paid or otherwise satisfied; 2. Contractor’s certification as required by Paragraph 7.03-C, above; 3. consent of surety, if any, to Final Payment; 4. a certificate evidencing that the insurance required by the Contract Documents is in force; 5. Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment in the form required by California Civil Code Section 8136 executed by Contractor, all Subcontractors of every tier and by all material suppliers of each, covering the final payment period; 6. Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment in the form required by California Civil Code Section 8136 executed by Contractor, all Subcontractors of every tier and by all material suppliers of each, covering the previous payment period; 7. all Record Documents (including, without limitation, complete and accurate As-Built drawings which shall be kept up to date during the performance of the Work); 8. documentation that Contractor has inspected, tested, and adjusted performance if every system or facility of the Work to ensure that overall performance is in compliance with the terms of the Contract Documents; 9. four (4) copies of all warranties from vendors and Subcontractors, operation and maintenance manuals, instructions and related agreements, and equipment certifications and similar documents; 10. certifications by Contractor and each Subcontractor as required by applicable collective bargaining agreements that all employee benefit contributions due and owing pursuant to any applicable collective bargaining agreement have been paid in full; 11. releases of rights and claims relating to patents and trademarks, as required by the Contract Documents; and 12. any other documents or information required by the Contract Documents as a condition of Final Payment or Final Completion. C. Final Payment Pursuant to the Public Contract Code Section 7107, within sixty (60) Days after City issues the Notice of Completion to Contractor, the Final Payment, including Retention, shall be released to Contractor, subject to the City’s right to withhold 150% of any disputed amounts. D. Disputed Amounts Pursuant to California Public Contract Code 7107, City may deduct and withhold from the Final Payment due under Paragraph 7.05-C, above, an amount up to 150% of any disputed amounts, including, without limitation, amounts to protect City against any loss caused or threatened as a result of Contractor's failing to fully perform all of those obligations that are required to be fulfilled by Contractor as a condition to Final Completion and Final Payment. Alternatively, City may elect, in its sole discretion, to accept the Work without correction or completion and adjust the Contract Sum pursuant to the Contract Documents. E. Acceptance of Final Payment Acceptance of Final Payment by Contractor shall constitute a waiver of all rights by Contractor against City for recovery of any loss, excepting only those Claims that have been submitted by Contractor in the manner required by the Contract Documents prior to or at the time of the Final Payment. 7.06 MISCELLANEOUS A. Joint Payment City shall have the right, if deemed necessary in its sole discretion, to issue joint checks made payable to Contractor and any Subcontractor(s) of any Tier. The joint check payees shall be solely responsible for the allocation and disbursement of funds included as part of any such joint payment. Endorsement on such check by a payee shall be conclusively presumed to constitute receipt of payment by such payee. In no event shall any joint check payment be construed to create any contract between City and a Subcontractor of any Tier, any obligation from City to such Subcontractor or any third party rights against City or Director. B. Withholding/Duty to Proceed The payment, withholding or retention of all or any portion of any payment claimed to be due and owing to Contractor shall not operate in any way to relieve Contractor from its obligations under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall continue diligently to prosecute the Work without reference to the payment, withholding or retention of any payment. The partial payment, withholding or retention by City in good faith of any disputed portion of a payment, whether ultimately determined to be correctly or incorrectly asserted, shall not constitute a breach by City of the Construction Contract and shall not be grounds for an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. C. No Acceptance No payment by City or partial or entire use of the Work by City shall be construed as approval or acceptance of the Work, or any portion thereof. D. Contractor Payment Warranty Submission of an Application for Payment shall constitute a representation and warranty by Contractor that: 1. Title to Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to City either by incorporation into the construction or upon receipt of payment by Contractor, whichever occurs first; and 2. Work covered by previous Applications for Payment are free and clear of liens, stop notices, claims, security interests or encumbrances imposed by the Contractor or any other person. E. Corrections No inaccuracy or error in any Application for Payment provided by Contractor shall operate to release Contractor from the error, or from losses arising from the Work, or from any obligation imposed by the Contract Documents. City retains the right to subsequently correct any error made in any previously approved Application for Payment, or progress payment issued, by adjustments to subsequent payments. 7.07 PAYMENTS BY CONTRACTOR Contractor shall not include in its Applications for Payment sums on account of any Subcontractor's portion of the Work that it does not intend to pay to such Subcontractor. Upon receipt of payment from City, Contractor shall pay the Subcontractor performing Work on the Project, out of the amount paid to Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled in accordance with the terms of its contract with Contractor and applicable laws, including, without limitation, California Public Contract Code Section 7107. Contractor shall remain responsible notwithstanding a withholding by City pursuant to the terms of these Contract Documents, to promptly satisfy from its own funds sums due to all Subcontractors who have performed Work that is included in Contractor's Application for Payment. Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement, require each Subcontractor to make payments to its subcontractors and material suppliers in similar manner. City shall have no obligation to pay or be responsible in any way for payment to a Subcontractor of any tier or material supplier. 7.08 PAYMENTS WITHHELD A. Withholding by City In addition to any other amounts which City may have the right to retain under the Contract Documents, City may withhold a sufficient amount of any payment otherwise due to Contractor as City, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary to cover actual or threatened loss due to any of the following: 1. Third Party Claims. Third-party claims or stop notices filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims or stop notices. City shall promptly inform Contractor of any third party claims related to this Contract; [NOTE: PUBLIC ENTITES ARE REQUIRED TO INCLUDE PROVISIONS IN PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS FOR TIMELY NOTIFICATION TO THE CONTRACTOR OF THE RECEIPT OF ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM RELATED TO THE CONTRACT, PC C §9201(b)]. 2. Defective Work. Defective Work not remedied; 3. Nonpayment. Failure of Contractor to make proper payments to its Subcontractors for services, labor, materials or equipment; 4. Inability to Complete.

Release of Withholding If and when City determines, in its sole discretion, that the above grounds for withholding have been removed and that all losses incurred or threatened have been paid, credited or otherwise satisfied, then payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them. C. Application of Withholding City may apply sums withheld pursuant to Paragraph 7.08-A above, in payment of any loss or threatened loss as City determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. Such payments may be made without a prior judicial determination of City’s actual rights with respect to such loss.

Continuous Performance Provided City pays the undisputed portion, if any, of funds withheld in good faith, Contractor shall maintain continuous and uninterrupted performance of the Work during the pendency of any disputes or disagreements with City. 7.09 SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES A. Public Contract Code Pursuant to the requirements of California Public Contract Code Section 22300, upon Contractor’s request, City will make payment to Contractor of any funds withheld from payments to ensure performance under the Contract Documents if Contractor deposits with City, or in escrow with a California or federally chartered bank in California acceptable to City (“Escrow Agent”), securities eligible for the investment of State Funds under Government Code Section 16430, or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the City, upon the following conditions: 1. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner or any securities substituted for monies withheld for the purpose of receiving any interest thereon. 2. All expenses relating to the substitution of securities under Public Contract Code Section 22300 and under this Paragraph 7.04, including, but not limited to City’s overhead and administrative expenses, and expenses of Escrow Agent shall be the responsibility of Contractor. 3. Securities or certificates of deposit substituted for monies withheld shall be of a value of at least equivalent to the amounts of retention to be paid to Contractor pursuant to the Contract Documents. 4. If Contractor chooses to deposit securities in lieu of monies withheld with an Escrow Agent, Contractor, City and Escrow Agent shall, as a prerequisite to such deposit, enter into an escrow agreement, using the City’s form, “Escrow Agreement for Deposit of Securities in Lieu of Retention.” 5. Contactor shall obtain the written consent of Surety to such agreement. 6. Securities, if any, shall be returned to Contractor only upon satisfactory Final Completion of the Work. B. Substitute Security To minimize the expense caused by such substitution of securities, Contractor shall, prior to or at the time Contractor requests to substitute security, deposit sufficient security to cover the entire amount to be withheld. Should the current market value of such substituted security fall below the amount for which it was substituted, or any other amounts which the City withholds pursuant to the Contract Documents, Contractor shall immediately and at Contractor’s expense and at no cost to City deposit additional security qualifying under Public Contract Code Section 22300 until the current market value of the total security deposited is no less than the amount subject to withholding under the Contract Documents. Securities shall be valued as often as conditions of the securities market warrant, but in no case less frequently than once per month. C. Deposit of Retentions Alternatively, subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.04-A above, upon request of Contractor, City shall make payment of retentions directly to Escrow Agent at the expense of Contractor, provided that Contractor, City and Escrow Agent shall, as a prerequisite such payment, enter into an escrow agreement in the same form as prescribed in Part 4 of Paragraph A, above. At the expense of Contractor and at no cost to City, Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and interest bearing accounts, and Contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments. Escrow Agent shall hold such direct payments by City under the same terms provided herein for securities deposited by Contractor. Upon satisfactory Final Completion of the Work, Contractor shall receive from Escrow Agent all securities, interest and payments received by Escrow Agent from City, less escrow fees and charges of the Escrow Account, according to the terms of Public Contract Code Section 22300 and the Contract Documents. D. Time for Election of Substitution of Securities Notwithstanding the provision of 7.04 A, B, and C above and California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the failure of Contractor to request the Substitution of eligible securities for monies to be withheld by City within ten (10) days of the award of Contract to Contractor shall be deemed to be a waiver of all such rights. 7.10 CLAIMS A. Arising of Claim. 1. Scope Change.

B. By City City’s right to commence the Claims Dispute Resolution Process shall arise at any time following the City’s actual discovery of the circumstances giving rise to the Claim. Nothing contained herein shall preclude City from asserting Claims in response to a Claim asserted by Contractor. A Statement of Dispute submitted by City shall state the events or circumstances giving rise to the Claim, the dates of their occurrence and the damages or other relief claimed by City as a result of such events. C. Claims Defined The term “claims” as used herein shall be as defined in California Public Contract Code § 20104(b)(2). 15.02 CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS The parties shall utilize each of the following steps in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process in the sequence they appear below. Each party shall participate fully and in good faith in each step in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process, which good faith effort shall be a condition precedent to the right of each party to proceed to the next step in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process. A. Direct Negotiations Designated representatives of City and Contractor shall meet as soon as possible (but not later than ten (10) Days after receipt of the Statement of Dispute) in a good faith effort to negotiate a resolution to the Claim. Each party shall be represented in such negotiations by an authorized representative with full knowledge of the details of the Claim or defenses being asserted by such party, and with full authority to resolve such Claim then and there, subject only to City’s right and obligation to obtain City Council [or other City official] approval of any agreed settlement or resolution. In the Claim involves the assertion of a right or claim by a Subcontractor against Contractor that is in turn being asserted by Contractor against City, then such Subcontractor shall also have a representative attend such negotiations, with the same authority and knowledge as just described. Upon completion of the meeting, if the Claim is not resolved, the parties may either continue the negotiations or either party may declare negotiations ended. All discussions that occur during such negotiations and all documents prepared solely for the purpose of such negotiations shall be confidential and privileged pursuant to California Evidence Code Sections 1119 and 1152.

Nothing contained in this Article 15 shall be interpreted as limiting the parties’ rights to continue informal negotiations of Claims that have been deferred until such Final Completion; provided, however, that such informal negotiations shall not be interpreted as altering the provisions of this Article 15 deferring final determination and resolution of unresolved Claims until after Final Completion of the Work. C.

If under federal excise tax law any transaction hereunder constitutes a sale on which a federal excise tax is imposed and the sale is exempt from such excise tax because it is a sale to meat for its exclusive use, then City, upon request, will execute documents necessary to show that is a political subdivision of the State for the purposes of such exemption and that the sale is for the exclusive use of the City, in which case no excise tax for such materials shall be included in the Bid or Contract Sum. C. Notice of Violations Contractor shall immediately notify the City and Director in writing of any instruction received from the City, Director, Architect or other person or entity that, if implemented, would cause a violation of any applicable law or lawful order of a governmental authority. If Contractor fails to provide such notice, then Director shall be entitled to assume that such instruction is in compliance with applicable laws and lawful orders of governmental authorities. If Contractor observes that any portion of the Drawings and Specifications or Work are at variance with applicable laws or lawful orders of governmental authorities, or should Contractor become aware of conditions not covered by the Contract Documents which will result in Work being at variance therewith, Contractor shall promptly notify Director in writing. If, without such notice to Director, Contractor or any Subcontractor performs any Work which it knew, or through the exercise of reasonable care should have known, was contrary to lawful orders of governmental authorities or applicable laws, then Contractor shall bear all resulting losses at its own expense, at no cost to City and without adjustment to the Contract Sum. 17.02 OWNERSHIP OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS A. Property of City All Design Documents, Contract Documents and Submittals (including, without limitation, all copies thereof) and all designs and building designs depicted therein are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the City and the City shall solely and exclusively hold all copyrights thereto. Without derogation the City’s rights under this Paragraph, the Contractor and Subcontractors are granted a limited, non-exclusive license, revocable at will of City, to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Contract Documents and Submittals as appropriate to and for use in the execution of the Work and for no other purpose.

C. Delivery to City All Design Documents, Contract Documents and Submittals in the possession of Contractor or Subcontractors shall be returned to the City upon the earlier of Final Completion or termination of the Construction Contract; provided, however, that Contractor and each Subcontractor shall have the right to retain one (1) copy of the Contract Documents and Submittals for its permanent records D.

Furthermore, if the parties make and implement any interpretation of the Contract Documents without documenting such interpretation by an instrument in writing signed by both parties, such interpretation and implementation thereof will not be binding in the event of any future disputes. 17.05 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Contractor is an independent contractor, and nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall be construed as constituting any relationship with City other than that of Project owner and independent contractor. In no event shall the relationship between City and Contractor be construed as creating any relationship whatsoever between City and Contractor's employees. Neither Contractor nor any of its employees is or shall be deemed to be an employee of City. Except as otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, Contractor has sole authority and responsibility to employ, discharge and otherwise control its employees and has complete and sole responsibility as a principal for its agents, for all Subcontractors and for all other Persons that Contractor or any Subcontractor hires to perform or assist in performing the Work. 17.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS The Contract Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of City and Contractor and their permitted successors, assigns and legal representatives.

B. Contractor may collaterally assign its rights to receive payment under the Contract Documents. Contractor may not delegate any of its duties hereunder, except to Subcontractors as expressly otherwise permitted in the Contract Documents. Contractor's assignment or delegation of any of its Work under the Contract Documents shall be ineffective to relieve Contractor of its responsibility for the Work assigned or delegated, unless City, in its sole discretion, has approved such relief from responsibility. Any assignment of money shall be subject to all proper set-offs and withholdings in favor of City and to all deductions provided for in the Contract. All money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be subject to being used by City for completion of the Work, should Contractor be in default. C. Except for the limited circumstances set forth in Paragraph 17.06-B, above, Contractor may not, without the prior written consent of City in its sole discretion, voluntarily or involuntarily assign, convey, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber its rights or interests under the Contract Documents. No partner, joint venturer, member or shareholder of Contractor may assign, convey, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber its ownership interest in Contractor without the prior written consent of City, in City’s sole discretion. 17.07 SURVIVAL Contractor’s representations and warranties, the dispute resolution provisions contained in Article 15, and all other provisions which by their inherent character should survive termination of the Contract and/or Final Acceptance, shall survive the termination of the Contract and the Final Acceptance Date. 17.08 LIMITATION ON THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES It is not intended by any of the provisions of the Contract Documents to create any third party beneficiary hereunder or to authorize anyone not a party hereto to maintain a suit for personal injury or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions hereof, except to the extent that specific provisions (such as the warranty and indemnity provisions) identify third parties and state that they are entitled to benefits hereunder. The duties, obligations and responsibilities of the parties to the Contract Documents with respect to such third parties shall remain as imposed by law. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind between City and a Subcontractor or any other Person except Contractor. 17.09 PERSONAL LIABILITY OF CITY EMPLOYEES City’s authorized representatives are acting solely as agents and representatives of City when carrying out the provisions of or exercising the power or authority granted to them under the Contract. They shall not be liable either personally or as employees of City for actions in their ordinary course of employment. No agent, consultant, Council member, officer or authorized employee of City, shall be personally responsible for any liability arising under the Contract. 17.10 NO ESTOPPEL City shall not, nor shall any officer thereof, be precluded or estopped by any measurement, estimate or certificate made or given by the City representative or other officer, agent, or employee of City under any provisions of the Contract from at any time (either before or after the final completion and acceptance of the Work and payment therefor) pursuant to any such measurement, estimate or certificate showing the true and correct amount and character of the work done, and materials furnished by Contractor or any person under the Contract or from showing at any time that any such measurement, estimate or certificate is untrue and incorrect, or improperly made in any particular, or that the work and materials, or any part thereof, do not in fact conform to the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate or certificate, or payment made in accordance therewith, City shall not be precluded or estopped from recovering from Contractor and its Sureties such damages as City may sustain by reason of Contractor’s failure to comply or to have complied with the Contract Documents. 17.11 GOVERNING LAW The laws of the State of California govern the construction and interpretation of the Contract Documents, without regard to conflict of law principles. Unless the Contract Documents provide otherwise, any reference to laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations include their later amendment, modifications, and successor legislation. If Contractor or City brings a lawsuit to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of the Contract Documents, jurisdiction is in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, California, or where otherwise appropriate, in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Contractor and City acknowledge that the Contract Documents were negotiated, entered into, and executed—and the Work was performed—in the City of Vernon, California. 17.12 FURTHER ASSURANCES Contractor shall promptly execute and deliver to City all such instruments and other documents and assurances as are reasonably requested by City to further evidence the obligations of Contractor hereunder, including assurances regarding assignments of Subcontractors contained herein. 17.13 SEVERABILITY If any clause, provision, section, paragraph or part of the Contract is ruled invalid by a court having proper jurisdiction, then the parties shall: (a) promptly meet and negotiate a substitute for such clause, provision, section, paragraph or part, which shall, to the greatest extent legally permissible, effect the original intent of the parties, including an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price to account for any change in the Work resulting from such invalidated portion; and (b) if necessary or desirable, apply to the court or other decision maker (as applicable) which declared such invalidity for an interpretation of the invalidated portion to guide the negotiations. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such clause, provision, section, paragraph or part shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the balance of the Contract, which shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract did not contain such invalid or unenforceable clause, provision, section, paragraph or part. 17.14 HEADINGS The captions of the sections of the Contract are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of the Contract or considered in construing the Contract. 17.15 ENTIRE AGREEMENT The Contract Documents contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, statements, representations and negotiations between the parties with respect to its subject matter. 17.16 COUNTERPARTS This instrument may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
