National Public Works Week Proclamation
Recommendation
Recognize the week of May 18-24, 2025 as National Public Works Week in the City of Vernon.
Background
National Public Works Week (NPWW), celebrated annually during the third full week of May, is
a time to recognize and honor the critical role public works professionals play in maintaining and
improving the infrastructure and services that keep our communities safe, clean, and functioning.
Established in 1960 by the American Public Works Association (APWA), this week shines a
spotlight on the often behind-the-scenes work that supports everyday life. Public works
professionals are responsible for essential services such as clean water delivery, sewer system
maintenance, road construction and repair, public buildings, and emergency response
infrastructure. NPWW raises awareness of these contributions, fosters community pride, and
encourages public understanding of the investments needed in infrastructure and to inspire future
generations to consider careers in public service fields that are vital to the community.
2025 Theme – “People, Purpose, Presence”
This year's theme of "People, Purpose, Presence" highlights three ideals that motivate public
works professionals to serve in their communities every day. Meeting the needs of people and
the community they serve is what gives public works professionals their sense of purpose.
Although these professionals may never meet those whose lives have been impacted, they are
always present, working in the background to improve the quality of life for the people they serve.
Public Works as First Responders
Public works professionals are one of the first on scene and the last to leave disasters and
emergencies. Following 9/11, public works professionals were recognized as first responders,
during the Geroge W, Bush administration, in the 2003 Homeland Security Presidential Directive
(HSPD-8). The ability to designate public works as first responders is an essential step toward
enhancing community resilience and ensuring comprehensive emergency response.
The proclamation recognizing May 18-24, 2025 as National Public Works Week in the City of
Vernon is intended to acknowledge the contributions of public works professionals who
consistently maintain public safety, ensure the continuity of essential services, and recognize the
crucial role they play in disaster response and recovery efforts, often working behind the scenes
to support the community in times of greatest need.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

A PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON
DECLARING MAY 18-24, 2025 AS NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK
WHEREAS, Public Works professionals are vital to the safety, health, and resilience of our
communities, serving as essential first responders in times of emergency and playing a critical
role in maintaining and restoring order during natural disasters, infrastructure failures, and public
safety crises; and
WHEREAS, these professionals are on the front lines of any emergency response and clear
roads, restore utilities, secure water and waste systems, and support police and firefighting
operations and ensure that life-saving services can continue without interruption in the face of
adversity; and
WHEREAS, beyond their emergency response role, Public Works professionals are
responsible for the daily operations and long-term development of infrastructure, facilities, and
services that are indispensable to sustainable growth, public health, and quality of life in the
City of Vernon; and
WHEREAS, these essential services, including transportation systems, wastewater
management, solid waste disposal, stormwater management, public buildings, and other
critical infrastructure, could not be delivered without the unwavering dedication and technical
expertise of Public Works engineers, managers, and frontline staff at all levels of government;
and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the citizens and businesses of the City of Vernon to
recognize the essential contributions of Public Works professionals, and to understand and
appreciate the complexity and importance of the systems they design, maintain, and operate
every day and in every crisis; and
WHEREAS, the year 2025 marks the 65th Annual National Public Works Week, sponsored
by the American Public Works Association, with the theme "People, Purpose, Presence,••
honoring those who work tirelessly behind the scenes and on the front lines to keep our
communities safe, functional, and thriving.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON DO HEREBY
PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF MAY 18-24, 2025, AS NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK, AND
ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO RECOGNIZE THE VITAL ROLE PUBLIC WORKS PROFESSIONALS PLAY
AS STEWARDS OF PUBLIC SAFETY, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:May 20, 2025
From:Lisette Grizzelle, Interim Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Submitted by:Lisette Grizzelle, Interim Director of Human Resources
Subject
Report on the Status of City of Vernon Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts
Recommendation
A. Conduct a Public Hearing; and
B. Receive and file informational report and presentation on the City of Vernon vacancies, and
recruitment and retention efforts pursuant to Assembly Bill 2561/Government Code Section
3502.3.
Background
Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561, codified in Government Code section 3502.3, passed on September
22, 2024, to amend the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), and requires public agencies to hold
a public hearing to address the status of job vacancies prior to the adoption of the upcoming
fiscal year budget. During this public hearing, the City must present information on the status of
vacancies and the City’s recruitment and retention efforts. If necessary, the City will identify
necessary changes to policies, procedures, and/or recruitment activities that may lead to
obstacles in the hiring process to help mitigate the challenges. The public hearing will ensure
compliance with the new law. On May 5th, 2025, Human Resources staff shared the Notice of
Public Hearing with Bargaining Unions and Associations, and extended an invitation to
participate in the public hearing via email pursuant to AB2561 statutory requirements.
Required Information
Staff will present the following required information at the public hearing:
1. The status of position vacancies at the City of Vernon
2. Information on the City of Vernon’s recruitment and retention efforts
3. Obstacles in the City’s policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may create
challenges in the hiring process
4. Recommended policy and procedure revisions
If the number of position vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the
total number of authorized full-time positions, the staff presentation will also include the following
information:
1. The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit
2. The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit
3. The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is
posted
4. Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions
As of May 1, 2025, there are no bargaining units with a full-time vacancy rate exceeding 20%.

Teamsters Local 911 6.17%5

Vernon Police Officer’s Benefit Association (VPOBA)0%0
Non-Represented Full – Time Positions 9.68%6
233 Total Full-Time Positions 6.44%15
Existing Policy and Recommendations
The Human Resources Department recruitment and retention efforts are guided by the
City’s Personnel Policies & Procedures Manual related to the policies listed below:
•I-1 Terms of Employment
•I-2 Requesting & Recruiting Personnel
•I-3 Testing Certification and Eligibility List
•I-9 Pre-Employment Medical and Drug Screen Examinations
•I-12 Reference-Background Checks
•I-13 Criminal Background Check and Live Scan
•Driver’s License Requirements (revisions)
In an effort to improve and help expedite the hiring process Human Resources staff is
recommending various revisions and updates to three of the policies listed above. The revised
policies are: I-1 Terms of Employment recommended revisions to reflect current classification
titles. I-2 Requesting & Recruiting Personnel recommended revisions will assist in providing more
flexibility when needed to help attract a higher qualified candidate pool and assist in shortening
the recruitment timeframe. I-3 Testing Certification and Eligibility List recommended updates will
implement common market trends and practices to enhance competitiveness. Human Resources
staff has collaborated with Department Heads and Bargaining Unit representatives and is
presenting red-line language changes to maintain competitiveness, reduce the number of days
from recruitment start date to hire date, and to increase qualified candidate pools and retention
rates.
Senate Bill 1100 passed in 2024 with implementation starting in 2025. The new law modifies
existing law under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to promote more
inclusive hiring practices and help reduce barriers to employment. The new law states that
California employers cannot require a driver’s license in job postings unless driving is a
necessary job function and alternative transportation methods are not feasible. As a result, the
Human Resources staff is working on reviewing job descriptions to make the necessary revisions
to comply with this new mandated legal requirement.
Existing Recruitment Procedures, Improvements, and Recommendations
The Human Resource Department has been proactively reviewing, assessing and implementing
strategies to improve recruitment and selection processes such as:
•Collaboration between Human Resources and Hiring Departments to set departmental
selection interview dates prior to establishing an eligibility list so that Human Resources
staff may notify successful candidates they have been placed on an eligibility list and will
be invited by the hiring department to a selection panel interview on a specific set .
.
Item 4 Page 2 of 3
date. This advanced planning has had a positive effect on shortening the time it takes to
complete the selection and hiring process.
•Requesting candidate reference(s) contact information from candidates during the
examination process to expedite the department reference check process.
•When relevant, advertising examination process timelines on the job posting for
applicant transparency and advance planning.
•Drafting a standard new hire information email for the hiring department to send to
selected candidates. This has resulted in uniform communication with complete
information and instructions on the next steps for selected candidates and hiring
departments.
•When possible, the Human Resources Department, in collaboration with the hiring
Departments, conducts promotional recruitment processes when an internal qualified
employee pool is available to assist and support retention efforts.
•The Human Resources Department at the request of the City Council is collaborating
with an external consultant, Baker Tilly that is conducting a classification and
compensation study to assist in maintaining competitive salaries, attracting and retaining
a qualified workforce.
•Increased advertising efforts have been made by the Human Resources Department to
help increase recruitment visibility and attract a higher qualified applicant pool.
Specifically, Human Resources staff is utilizing social media advertising such as
LinkedIn as staff has observed an increase in use of this application by job seekers. In
addition to advertising, open City employment opportunities on the City’s website, and
governmentjobs.com job listings get scrubbed by other online advertising services such
as Indeed and ZipRecruiter at no added cost and help increase visibility and outreach.
Careersingovernment.com is another online job advertising vendor Human Resources
uses to expand advertisement and visibility efforts; this is dedicated to matching
qualified individuals with careers in government and the public sector. They are their
own social media campaign and partner with several national diversity network sites to
help attract a wider and diverse qualified application pool.
•Human Resources staff is continually open to collaborating with hiring departments to
review and consider new or specialized advertising options to assist in the recruitment
process.
•The Human Resources Department recommends a more frequent review of policies and
procedures to ensure legal and market trends are identified and incorporated into City
policies and procedures.

PURPOSE:
To provide a fair and equitable system to ensure that applicants (both internal and external) are made
aware of current and/or future vacancies within City government.
POLICY:
The Human Resources Department shall establish and maintain, as needed, lists of qualified candidates
to enable departments to fill vacancies in a timely manner.
All recruitments, except acting and temporary appointments, will be announced on a promotional/open
competitive process. Departments wishing to fill an opening for a new position or a replacement
vacancy shall complete a Personnel Requisition Form (see attachment) and forward this form to the
Human Resources Department for approval. The Human Resources Department will then forward the
approved Personnel Requisition Form to the City Administrator.
The requesting department should indicate on the Personnel Requisition Form the type of recruitment
desired (e.g. “Open” or “Promotional”) if a current eligibility list does not exist for the position
requested. A promotional recruitment can occur only after taking into consideration the availability of
employees possessing requisite skills. Any promotional recruitment which fails to attract at least five (5)
qualified candidates may be reopened to outside candidates. Temporary employees are not eligible to
apply for closed promotional recruitments. The requesting department shall also indicate on the
Personnel Requisition Form any special conditions of employment such as shift work, permanency of
assignment, or need for second language proficiency.
The City shall make every effort to provide the means by which interested and qualified applicants shall
be made aware of vacancies within City government. This process shall occur without regard to race,
religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, medical condition, marital status, sex or sexual
orientation. Recruitments shall be carried out in accordance with merit principles.
The Human Resources Department shall administer and coordinate the recruitment process and shall
contact the requesting department for assistance, as appropriate. An announcement (bulletin) shall be

data such as compensation, a brief description of the essential job functions or duties of the position,
the minimum and/or special requirements, and any recruiting deadlines. Any changes to the essential
job functions of an approved job classification must be approved by the Director of Human Resources
before posting.
The City of Vernon recruitments shall be posted in all common areas within City Hall, at the City Yard,
Power Plant, City’s website, and on the City’s applicable social media accounts. Other means of
communicating the opening to the public may be used, such as the use of local and national newspaper
advertising, professional or trade journal advertising, local and regional association newsletters, special
mailing lists, and/or personalized letters/emails. All advertising shall state that the City is an “Equal
Opportunity Employer.”
Completed online applications must be received by the Human Resources Department no later than the
time and date indicated on the job bulletin.
Each department shall assist the Human Resources Department by developing and maintaining
recruitment sources in accordance with State and Federal guidelines.
The following “Advertising Guidelines” may be utilized for cost saving purposes. The guidelines may
vary by the specific recruitment needs of each department taking into account such variables as
uniqueness of position, equal employment opportunity, and past recruitment history. All advertisement
costs are funded by the Human Resources Department:
1. As needed, local labor market advertisement will be placed in applicable advertising sites and/or
publications.
2. Advertising beyond the local labor market (ie; out-of-state publications) will be considered for
management and executive recruitments only.
3. Where possible, professional newsletters, trade journals, websites and community publications
may be used to recruit hard-to-fill positions.
Recruitment Process for Management Positions:
For all department head and key management recruitments, the City may utilize a search firm to
conduct a broad search for the most qualified candidates. The top-ranked applicants will be
interviewed. For City Administrator or City Attorney recruitments the City Council’s first choice will

period of one year, or until vacated by the Director of Human Resources, whichever occurs first.
Open competitive lists created as a result of continuous examinations shall remain in effect for not
more than one year after the last administration of the examination, unless vacated sooner. An

authorize a one-time extension of an eligibility list for up to one additional year.

person receiving the highest overall score, along with the names of any other candidates who
scores within ten (10) points of the highest score (92 points to 82 points, etc.) The names on

results, all successful temporary employees and all other applicants will have their names placed on
an open competitive list of eligible candidates.
The appointing department will be required to interview and select a promotional candidate if
there are at least five (5) names in Band I of any employment list of eligible promotional
candidates. If there are fewer than five (5) names in Band I of the promotional list, these names

skills). These skills must be identified via job analysis information and prior to the initial
certification. A written formal request to the Human Resources Department must be
submitted for selective certification.
B. Rejection of Certification - In the event a department rejects a certification, a formal written
request for additional certification must be made. Inclusive with the request, there must be
specific reason(s) as to the rejection of each certified candidate. The Director of Human
Resources reserves the right to accept or reject this request.
C. Removal of Names - Names shall be removed from the eligible list after appointment, or at the
end of the eligibility period. Names shall be removed from the promotional eligible lists upon
termination of the employee's services from City employment or upon granting a leave of
absence without right to return to the job. The Director of Human Resources may remove
names of any person:

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:May 20, 2025
From:Zaynah Moussa, City Attorney
Department:City Attorney
Submitted by:Eva Muro, Legal Analyst
Subject
Attorney Services Agreement between the City of Vernon and Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP
for Outside Legal Services
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Attorney Services Agreement with
Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP (Burke Williams) for Outside Legal Services, in substantially
the same form as submitted, for an amount not-to-exceed $125,000.
Background
The City Attorney’s Office functions as the legal advisor and counsel of record for the City
Council, City boards and commissions, City staff, and represents the City in litigation, whether
directly or with special counsel. The City Attorney’s Office is currently staffed with one in-house
attorney and is supported by outside counsel for specialized legal matters and litigation or other
matters requiring additional resources.
Accordingly, the City Attorney’s Office engages special counsel to assist as needed for specific
matters (i.e., not via a monthly retainer). The advice or representation provided by special
counsel could be in the form of a request for expert analysis on a specific issue, or to represent
the City in a personnel matter, claim or lawsuit.
Competitive Selection Process
Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.220(B), all professional services
contracts must be subject to a new competitive selection process every three years, unless
commercially unreasonable to do so.
In September 2024, the City Attorney’s Office issued a Request for Proposals for Outside Legal
Services, in accordance with VMC Section 3.32.080, with a response deadline of November 4,
2024. The City Attorney’s Office received proposals from 14 firms throughout the state, many of
whom were well-qualified in the subject practice areas.
The written proposals were subject to a review process by the City Attorney’s Office and
evaluation panel representatives from City Finance, Human Resources, City Administration, and
the Police Department. Due to the number and length of proposals received and staff
availability/workload, the review and evaluation process took several months. Individual scores
were applied by each panel representative and the following were ranked as the top firms overall:
Best Best & Krieger
Burke Williams & Sorensen
Jones & Mayer
Liebert Cassidy Whitmore
Richards Watson Gershon
Burke Williams is a full-service public law firm that currently serves as special counsel and/or city

attorney for more than 200 local governmental agencies. Attorney Mark Austin has been
recommended as the City’s primary point of contact. Mr. Austin has years of experience working
on Vernon matters, having successfully handled a high-profile anti-SLAPP motion, multiple
positive outcomes in dangerous condition of public property (tort) cases, as well as several
successful motions for summary judgment. Burke Williams also has expert attorneys available
in the practice areas of land use, environmental compliance and CEQA, code enforcement,
housing issues, and election law. If and when the City’s in-house attorney is unavailable, the
firm has experienced city attorneys available to attend meetings and advise on municipal law
issues.
Burke Williams litigation and advisory legal services would be billed at the hourly rates set forth
below, ranging from $175-375 based on practice area and seniority. The proposed hourly rates
are comparable to other firms providing public sector legal services.
Staffing Hourly Rate
Partners $375
Associate Attorneys $325
Paralegals $175
Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030(A), City Council approval is required for the proposed
Agreement as the total value of the contract exceeds $100,000. The Agreement has been
reviewed and approved as to form by our Office.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $125,000. Sufficient funds are available in General Fund, City
Attorney Department Professional Services – Legal Account No. 011-010-115-529200 for the
current fiscal year and will be budgeted for subsequent years.

ATTORNEY SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON
AND BURKE, WILLIAMS & SORENSEN, LLP FOR OUTSIDE LEGAL
SERVICES
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Vernon ("City"), a
California charter City and California municipal corporation (“City”), and Burke, Williams
& Sorensen, LLP, a limited liability partnership (“Associate Counsel”). City and
Associate Counsel are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City, acting through its City Attorney, desires to engage
Associate Counsel, in association with the City Attorney, to assist the City Attorney in
connection with various transactions, and to provide advice and assistance in other
legal matters from time to time; and
WHEREAS, Associate Counsel possesses the skills, qualifications, and

WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Vernon, herein referred to as "City
Attorney," is the Chief Legal Advisor for the City and is charged with the responsibility of
protecting the interests of the City, its Council, officers, employees and agents, as
provided for by California law and the Charter and ordinances of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.0 Scope of Services.
Associate Counsel is retained as Counsel of Record in association with
the City Attorney to perform such legal services as may be required from time to time in
connection with specific transactional matters and other legal matters as specified in the
City’s Request for Proposals issued on or about September 23, 2024, and titled RFP for

Associate Counsel, shall be responsible for the performance of services hereunder,
shall personally handle all significant matters, and shall supervise any services
performed by other members of Associate Counsel's firm and by its employees. It is
understood that the City Attorney is chief counsel of record for all purposes, and
Associate Counsel's performance hereunder shall be under the direction and

performances required hereunder by Associate Counsel shall be performed to the
satisfaction of said City Attorney.

Item 9 Page 2 of 86
Associate Counsel shall report to and receive direction from the City
Attorney only, and not from any other Department Head or City staff.
2.0 Time of Performance and Term.
The services of Associate Counsel are to commence upon the execution
hereof (“Effective Date”), and the written assignment of particular matters, provided, the
effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to approval by the City Council or City
Administrator (as appropriate), and shall be undertaken and completed in such
sequence as to assure their completion as expeditiously as is consistent with
professional skill and care. This Agreement shall automatically terminate three (3)
years from the Effective Date, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling specific City matters will be expected to
institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of
the City Attorney. The general framework of budgeting and planning procedures is as
follows:
3.1 Budget.
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City Attorney,
provide a Plan and a Budget, or revisions thereof, which will
include a projection of recommended steps to be taken in
the assigned matter and a range of costs for each step. The
Plan and Budget will be reviewed and updated as
necessary, at least every twelve months, or as more
frequently requested by the City Attorney.
3.1.2 The Budget shall include an estimate of Associate Counsel’s
attorney’s hours, fees, and disbursements during each
phase and activity.
3.1.3 The Budget should include the anticipated cost of each line
item, the time estimated to complete it, and the identity
(name, title, billing rate) of the primary attorney handling it.
3.1.4 Each line item should be given a code number that can be
used in the billing process and in preparation of updated
progress reports.
3.1.5 The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to
revision. However, Associate Counsel understands and
agrees that failure to timely submit a Budget or major
Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP
Attorney Services Agreement

.
Item 9 Page 3 of 86
unjustified deviations therefrom may constitute a breach and
result in termination of this Agreement with Associate
Counsel.
3.2 Reporting.
3.2.1 In addition to the Budget, Associate Counsel shall prepare a
written report, at least every twelve months, or as more
frequently requested. The plan will start as an initial
evaluation (before substantial costs are incurred) and shall
include, with a discussion (where applicable): a) anticipated
total costs; b) the primary issues; c) upcoming deadlines,
and d) tasks toward completion.
3.2.2 The City Attorney shall be consulted by Associate Counsel
regarding the component parts of matters handled so that
the City Attorney can determine, or secure a determination
from the City Council, as appropriate, tactics, strategy, and
whether a particular activity makes sense from an economic
standpoint or can be done more economically in another
fashion.
3.2.3 The City Attorney is to be consulted regarding staffing of
matters and is to be advised of any significant shift in
staffing.
3.2.4 The City Attorney is to be provided with copies of any billing
manuals or directions for billing practices in use by Associate
Counsel within thirty (30) days of executing this Agreement.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vernon
which are comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other
governmental entities in and around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees
for all services provided hereunder by all billers shall be charged in accordance with
Exhibit "B", which is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by reference.
Associate Counsel’s grand total, not-to-exceed compensation for the three (3) years of
this Agreement shall not exceed the amount of $125,000, without prior approval of the
City Council and written amendment of this Agreement.

Item 9 Page 4 of 86
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will
reimburse Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs
(not to exceed 10 cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground
transportation (in the amount set forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard
mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel expenses or travel time beyond Southern
California) must be approved by the City Attorney in writing and in advance. No
compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support services such as typing,
word processing, scanning hard-copy documents to .pdf format, secretarial time of any
nature (normal, overflow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw, equipment
rental, calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any
other expense not itemized in the approved Budget or otherwise approved by the City
Attorney. There shall be no mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City Attorney must approve in advance any single
disbursement item in excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, depositions,
investigators, copying, and experts. Requests for costs exceeding $500.00 shall
contain a recommendation of alternative information services, including use of City
employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in lieu of outside experts whenever
feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in
which case such charges will be added to the following month’s bill. The following
information must be provided in monthly bills:
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour
(one tenth of an hour) for and by each and every individual
billing services. Associate Counsel shall keep the City advised
regarding the identity and the billing rates of those people who
work on the matter.
B. Identification of the attorney in charge of the matter.
C. Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and
purpose of each disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line
identifying the biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the
service rendered. Narrative billing and block billing are
Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP
Attorney Services Agreement
Page 5 of 86
_______________________
.
.
Item 9 Page 5 of 86
unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are undertaken
in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a
meeting or legal research. All tasks performed on the same day
should be entered as separate entries, identifying the time spent
on each. Telephone conferences should specify the
participants and the subject matter discussed.
E. The City will not pay for vague descriptions for services which
do not state the precise nature of the work performed and the
need for the work. Overly general task descriptions such as
“review contract”, “conduct research”, or “prepare for
negotiations” are not acceptable. Associate Counsel shall
provide a detailed description of each action, sufficient to
provide a meaningful record to an independent auditor
reviewing said task description.
F. The City will not pay for inter-office conferences among
attorneys/billers unless a conference is a necessary strategy
meeting relating to some significant legal issue or event, such
as an upcoming trial, and then only one attorney may be billed.
Where charges are made for conferences, the specific reason
and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and the
participants identified.
G. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue
being researched and the need must be identified. City has
retained Associate Counsel for its expertise, and therefore
expects not to be billed for introductory or background research.
The City will not pay for attorneys, law clerks and paralegals
educating themselves or doing work of a transient nature on the
case.
H. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all
significant issues in the assigned matter. If other attorneys are
assigned to assist the primary attorney, the City must be
notified. The City may request that the assigned work be
instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those
attorneys or persons approved in advance by the City may bill
on the matter. Upon City request, resumes will be provided for
all persons (other than clerical or secretarial) working on the
case.
I. No more than two non-attorney support staff may bill on a
particular matter without the prior approval of the City.
Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP
Attorney Services Agreement

.
.
Item 9 Page 6 of 86
J. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such
paralegal should not result in duplicative work by the attorneys
or reworking of paralegal's work. Paralegal shall not perform
clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date-stamping, organizing,
etc., but shall perform work such as research, summarizing
depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
K. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific
budget line item, so a bill may be easily compared with the
approved budget.
L. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every
six months, to compare the amount of work completed to a
percentage of the budget absorbed.
M. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of
detail and specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with
established budgets).
N. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task
(e.g. two or more attorneys attending the same depositions or
the same court appearances, a biller redoing the work of
another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing and analyzing
documentation and legal research).
O. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or
City audits are non-reimbursable.
P. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever
possible to reduce deposition expenses.
Q. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed
by Associate Counsel.
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and
costs incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a
monthly basis.
5.0 Engagement of Other Counsel, Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement
without the prior written approval of the City Attorney.

Item 9 Page 7 of 86
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered
hereunder may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or
without cause. In such event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and
reports, both originals and all duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the
City, shall immediately be turned over to the possession of City, which owns all such
materials. In the event of such termination, Associate Counsel shall be paid for all
satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for cause, in which event
compensation, if any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in light of the
particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public Agency.
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer,
employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall
have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 General Procedures.
Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic status reports
shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any major developments in the
matter. Once the Plan is approved, Associate Counsel need not advise the City of each
and every step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with the Plan, it
should provide periodic reviews and information on significant matters. The City does
not, however, want boilerplate update letters announcing each and every procedural
step being taken.
9.0 Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance.
A copy of the City Attorney's Policy for Investigation and Discovery
Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” which is attached hereto and fully
incorporated herein by reference.
10.0 Conflict of Interest.
Associate Counsel certifies that no member, officer or employee of the
Associate Counsel is an officer or employee of the City of Vernon except to the extent
permitted by law.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City Attorney before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or

be written on ISO Business Auto coverage form for all owned, hired, and non-owned
automobiles or any auto. The policy shall have a combined single limit of not less than
one million dollars ($1,000,000). If Associate Counsel is transporting one or more non-
employee passengers in the performance of the services, the automobile liability policy
shall have a combined single limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000). If Associate
Counsel owns no autos, a hired, non-owned auto endorsement to the General Liability
policy is acceptable.
13.1.1 Associate Counsel agrees to subrogate automobile liability
resulting from performance under this agreement by
agreeing to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, the City,
and its respective employees, agents, and City Council from
and against all claims, liabilities, suits, losses, damages,
injuries and expenses, including all costs and reasonable
attorney’s fees (“Claims”), which are attributable to any act
or omission by the Associate Counsel under the
performance of the services. The City of Vernon, its
directors, commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and
volunteers must be endorsed on the policy as additional
insureds and, under the Associate Counsels’ policy, there
shall be a waiver of subrogation, and the policy shall be
primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution

Office (ISO) Comprehensive General Liability "occurrence" Form CG 00 01 or its
equivalent for coverage on an occurrence basis. The City of Vernon, its directors,
commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers must be endorsed on the
policy as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of the Associate
Counsels’ performance of this Agreement. The additional insured coverage under the
Associate Counsel’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek
contribution from the City’s insurance. The policy shall be endorsed to include a waiver
of subrogation.

have no additional exclusion or coverage difference from the primary policy. The
coverage shall also apply to automobile liability.

shall comply with the applicable sections of the California Labor Code concerning
workers' compensation for injuries on the job. Compliance is accomplished in one of the
following manners:

approved by the State of California; or
13.5.2 Secure and maintain in force a policy of workers'
compensation insurance with statutory limits and Employer's
Liability Insurance with a limit of one million dollars
($1,000,000) per accident. The policy shall be endorsed to

commissioners, officers, employees, and volunteers for
losses arising from performance of this Agreement; or

warrant to the City that it does not currently have any
employees or individuals who are defined as “employees”

Compensation coverage will be waived by completing the
waiver form provided by the City.

13.9 Prior to the commencement of performance, Associate Counsel
shall furnish City with a certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be
signed by a person authorized by that insurer to evidence coverage on its behalf. The
certificate(s) must be in a form approved by City. City may require complete, certified
copies of any or all policies upon request.
13.10 Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a
default and material breach. In such event, Associate Counsel shall immediately notify
City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City.
In the absence of satisfactory insurance coverage, City may, at its option: (a) procure
insurance with collection rights for premiums, attorney's fees, and costs against
Associate Counsel by way of set-off or recoupment from sums due to Associate
Counsel, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement and seek damages
from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure the risk, with all
damages and costs incurred, by judgment, settlement or otherwise, including attorney's
fees and costs, being collectible from Associate Counsel, by way of set-off or
recoupment from any sums due to Associate Counsel.
14.0 Choice of Forum.

Proposal to Provide Outside Legal Services Page 1
to the City of Vernon
INTRODUCTION
Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP (“Burke”) is delighted to present this proposal to provide
specialized outside legal services to the City of Vernon (“City” or “Vernon”). As a law firm
with a significant commitment to public agencies and deep experience in public law, we
believe that Burke is particularly well-suited to serve the City’s legal needs.
We propose that Mark J. Austin serve as Burke’s primary point-of-contact for the City.
Mark is a partner in Burke’s Orange County office and provides both litigation and
advisory services to cities throughout the state. Mark’s legal practice focuses on municipal
and business litigation, with emphases in municipal tort defense (including employment-
related torts and wrongful death matters), real estate litigation, land use litigation,
partnership disputes, and environmental litigation. Mark has extensive trial experience,
having handled multiple successful jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations, and has
successfully argued before the California Court of Appeal on several occasions.
Mark has worked with the City for the past approximately 10 years, having initially formed
a working relationship with the City Attorney’s Office while at his prior firm. Mark served
as point-of-contact for the City Attorney’s Office, managed the staffing and assignment of
cases, and successfully represented the City in multiple litigation matters, which he
continues to do to this day.
At Burke, Mark would similarly oversee the firm’s legal services for the City to ensure
consistency and compliance with the City’s policies and budget requirements. For each
of the City’s identified legal needs, Mark has assembled a team of experienced Burke
attorneys, headed by one or more designated attorneys who will serve as “team leaders”
for that area of law. This team model is flexible and adaptable, allowing Mark and the
team leaders to staff cases and assignments with a proper mix of experience and skill,
and in response to any direction or requests from the City, thereby providing quality
representation and a multidimensional option for problem-solving.
Our team leaders are at the top of their fields. They have the right combination of wisdom,
talent, commitment, and passion to produce truly superb results for the City of Vernon.
We are proud to designate the following attorneys as our team leaders for this proposal:

We have provided full biographical statements attached to this proposal for our team
leads and team members. Below, we summarize the topic areas and teams. More
detailed information about each topic can also be found in the team member bios.
GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
General Municipal Advisory Matters
Our proposed team, which would be led by Rachel H. Richman, Karl H. Berger, and
Mark J. Austin, has expertise in all areas of general municipal law. From the Brown Act
to the Public Records Act, public works to the Political Reform Act, Burke attorneys have
the skill and experience to resolve all types of municipal concerns.
As city attorneys working in a general counsel capacity for numerous cities across
California, Burke’s attorneys routinely attend public meetings and advise elected and
appointed officials on the broad spectrum of issues facing public agencies. Before and
during the meetings, our team is diligent about Brown Act compliance and analyzing
conflicts of interest under the Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 1090, and
common law.
Our team members also work directly with staff to review agenda materials, develop
internal policies, draft agreements with third parties, and assist with day-to-day
operations. For example, we draft and negotiate professional services and joint-use
agreements, respond to Public Records Act requests, assist in levying taxes,
assessments, and fees, analyze land use applications, and advise our clients concerning
environmental matters. Whether the legal issue is routine or complex, our team has the
experience to analyze the issue and advise the City so that it can minimize risk and
liability.
With regard to public contract issues, we regularly advise cities in the preparation, review,
counseling, and negotiation of consultant, professional service, and public works contract
documents, including scopes of work, bid forms, and contract procedures. Burke’s
attorneys also have experience in handling all aspects of bid protests and award disputes
involving issues of responsiveness, responsibility, mistake, subcontractor-listing
requirements, and other related issues in the public contracting process.

Proposal to Provide Outside Legal Services Page 3
to the City of Vernon
Labor and Employment
Burke has a very robust Labor and Employment practice, regularly providing advice and
counsel on the full range of personnel matters facing public and private entities. Common
issues addressed by our Labor and Employment team include effective administration of
leave policies, ADA/FEHA compliance, the interactive process, CalPERS pension and
retiree health, wage-and-hour compliance, labor negotiations, employee grievances,
employee privacy concerns, freedom of speech, and employee discipline. Our attorneys
understand that well-designed and well-utilized MOUs, employee handbooks, policies,
and procedures can serve as an organization’s best defense in employment law disputes.
Our team, led by Timothy L. Davis, is well-versed in all areas of employment law, and
particularly in those areas of employment law that are unique to the public sector. We
work as part of the client’s team, always mindful of the practical needs of our clients when
analyzing their legal issues. Our regular involvement in the day-to-day transactional
issues of our clients helps to ensure that our team remains up-to-date on current laws,
which also allows us to evaluate litigation matters more efficiently.
Real Property and Economic Development
Burke attorneys regularly represent public agencies throughout California in connection
with real estate development and land use matters, including negotiation and drafting of
retail and commercial leases, option agreements, easement and reciprocal easement
agreements, purchase and sale agreements, ground leases, disposition and
development and owner participation agreements, and matters relating to hazardous
materials/Brownfields remediation, the federal contracting/BRAC process, and
condemnation. Burke attorneys offer a broad range of knowledge and experience that
enables us to effectively negotiate and document all forms of real estate transactions,
and to protect and enforce our clients’ interests in litigation when called upon.
Burke attorneys have extensive experience representing public agencies in connection
with complex real estate and affordable housing transactions, including the acquisition,
development, rehabilitation, and disposition of property via purchase and sale and ground
leases. In addition, our team provides expertise in land use matters, environmental
remediation, public bidding, and procurement, and in the negotiation and drafting of
architect’s agreements and construction contracts. Our construction lawyers are well-
versed in all aspects of procurement requirements and construction law, and our land use
lawyers provide expertise in all aspects of land use entitlements.
Employment Litigation
When employment disputes arise, Burke offers a depth of litigation experience, having
handled over 300 employment litigation matters within the last five years. Our team, led
by Algeria R. Ford, has successfully represented public agencies in employee
discrimination, due process, wrongful termination, whistleblower, civil rights, and other
employment claims in state and federal court proceedings and arbitrations. Our attorneys

to the City of Vernon
have years of success at trial and on appeal, in writ proceedings, in arbitrations, and in
mediation and informal settlement processes. We pride ourselves on being able to
resolve claims efficiently, without unnecessary legal expenses, and with an eye towards
the client’s larger goals.
Civil Rights Litigation
Burke has significant experience in nearly every aspect of civil rights litigation and
counseling. We have defended elected officials, public agency employees, and law
enforcement personnel against a variety of civil rights claims in both state and federal
court in cases involving the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Equal Protection
Clause, as well as excessive force allegations. We have done so in our role of providing
full service to cities and police departments, advising them on many issues, including:
constitutional rights, police procedures and conduct, legal limitations to the police powers
inherent in cities and counties and their police departments, and risk management. We
have also advised cities when the police departments have been challenged by the
federal government, and/or the FBI, with violation of the civil rights of citizens. Our
proposed team, including team leaders Nathan A. Oyster, Lisa W. Lee, and Mark J.
Austin, have successfully tried many section 1983 civil rights cases of various types.
Government Tort Liability
Drawing on the experience and expertise of our lawyers spanning many decades, Burke
is capable of handling nearly all of a public entity’s potential tort litigation needs. Having
both public law and litigation acumen “under one roof” affords Burke the opportunity to
tailor its litigation services to better meet the particular needs of its municipal clients and
to more effectively promote its litigation management. Defense of public clients often
entails detailed knowledge of statutory immunities, pre-litigation notice requirements, and
other circumstances unique to public-entity litigation. Burke’s vast experience in these
areas enables it to draw upon prior work product to provide more efficient and successful
solutions for its clients statewide. The team leader for this area would be Mark J. Austin,
who has nearly 25 years of experience as a litigator for public agencies, and has handled
a wide variety of cases in that field, including cases involving general torts, wrongful
death, dangerous conditions, police misconduct, employment liability, the Brown Act, the
Public Records Act, validation actions, breach of contract, writs of mandate, bond
financing, redevelopment dissolution, and other issues.
Land Use and Environmental Law
Burke attorneys offer a broad range of knowledge and experience in all areas of land use
and environmental law. Our experienced land use attorneys regularly work on complex
development projects that address zoning/General Plan, environmental, transportation,
economic, cultural, and community issues. Representing municipalities, we deal with the
intertwining concerns brought up by real estate development and redevelopment,
subdivisions, housing and density bonus law, water rights, remediation, and other vexing

land use issues. Our legal team, led by Anna C. Shimko, excels in drafting and
negotiating annexation, disposition and development agreements, construction
agreements, and public-private agreements for a wide range of projects from single
facilities to complex mixed-use projects to major development projects . Burke lawyers
often conduct land use litigation, principally defending decision-makers whose
development approvals or denials are challenged by landowners or interest groups.
Because Burke serves as counsel to many public agencies throughout the state, our
attorneys have particular and extensive experience with myriad CEQA and NEPA issues.
Burke’s CEQA attorneys regularly assist public agencies with advice on and the
preparation and defense of environmental documents prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) - including CEQA exemption memos; Initial Studies
and Negative Declarations (ND)/Mitigated Negative Declarations (MND); Environmental
Impact Reports (EIR), and Addenda to such NDs/MNDs and EIRs. Even when
representing private entities, our lawyers often become trusted advisors to all parties in
the CEQA process because of our cooperative and straight-forward approach to the
issues and the depth of our expertise. Our team deals with CEQA issues on a daily basis
and provides regular legal advice, opinions, and comments regarding all aspects of the
process, including strategy and adequacy of documents.
Throughout the administrative project consideration process, our CEQA attorneys keep
in mind the possibility of litigation, and build the administrative record with that as a
possibility, ensuring that all necessary documents are put before the decision-maker to
ensure the best possible record to support the client’s position on a project. Unlike many
other firms who have separate CEQA transactional attorneys and litigation attorneys that
work in silos and do not communicate effectively, Burke’s CEQA lawyers work together
and collaborate as a team at both the administrative approval and advice level and in
ensuing litigation, we find this distinguishes us from the field and prepares us to be well
poised for seamless and cost-effective litigation.
Burke’s attorneys have served as counsel to petitioners, respondents, real parties in
interest and amicus parties in CEQA litigation, including some of the higher impact CEQA
decisions. At both the trial and appellate court levels, we have successfully defended
CEQA determinations made by our public agency clients or the public agencies that
granted our private clients’ entitlements. We are well prepared at all court levels to quickly
address and fend off injunctive relief and stay requests and pride ourselves on developing
complete litigation plans and then successfully implementing them through strategic law
and motion practice and persuasive merits briefing and oral argument. Finally,
recognizing that sometimes settlement is the best option for the client, we have frequently
negotiated agreements to resolve lawsuits (sometimes even before the litigation is filed)
without the need for trial or to avoid appeals.

General Tort Liability
Proposed Team Leader: Mark J. Austin
Proposed Additional Team Members: Brian I. Hamblet
Drawing on the experience and expertise of our lawyers spanning many decades, Burke
is capable of handling nearly all of a public entity’s potential tort and other litigation needs.
Having both public law and litigation acumen “under one roof” affords Burke the
opportunity to tailor its litigation services to better meet the particular needs of its public
agency clients and promotes more effective litigation management. Defense of such
clients often entails detailed knowledge of statutory immunities, pre-litigation notice
requirements, the Skelly process, Pitchess motions, and other circumstances unique to
public entity, public employee and peace officer litigation. Burke’s vast experience in
these areas enables it to draw upon prior work product to provide more efficient and
successful solutions for its clients statewide.
Burke attorneys take a pro-active approach by personally investigating accident sites with
the City’s staff and claims administrators, as well as developing a comprehensive litigation
approach to minimize legal costs while providing an aggressive defense. In serious
crosswalk, roadway and intersection dangerous condition case, Burke attorneys will
engage with City staff to identify approved improvements and plans in an effort to take
advantage of design immunity. In many cases, our proactive approach will lead to
resolution via a motion for summary judgment. We will actively use discovery to determine
if this is the case and draft the strongest possible motion to give the City the highest
likelihood of prevailing. We pride ourselves on winning cases and on obtaining good
results, and hope to be able to transfer our successful results to your matters.
As noted above, team leader Mark J. Austin has handled dozens of litigation matters, in

Mark has successfully handled multiple litigation matters for Vernon in the past, including
drafting a successful anti-SLAPP motion in a contentious matter against the former City
Administrator, and multiple successful motions for summary judgment in dangerous-
condition cases.
A small sample of the types of cases Mark has handled include the following:
CATER v. City of Anaheim. This was a reverse-validation action challenging the
issuance of $300 million in lease-revenue bonds by a JPA (consisting of the City
and its redevelopment successor agency) to fund the expansion of the Anaheim
Convention Center. Mark handled the case successfully at trial and obtained a
dismissal of the later appeal.
Orange County Catholic Worker, et al. v. County of Orange, City of Anaheim, et al.
This was a complex litigation matter brought by homeless advocates against the
County of Orange and various Orange County cities, alleging violations of the civil
rights of homeless persons under the Eighth Amendment and Fourth Amendment,
and related claims. Mark represented the City of Anaheim in this case from
inception.
Mallar v. City of Adelanto, et al. In Mallar, a former correctional officer with the
Adelanto prison facility sued the City of Adelanto and a number of its officers based
on a training exercise in which, according to the plaintiff, he was intentionally
sprayed with pepper spray and beaten in retaliation for certain comments he had
made to his superior. The City prevailed on a motion for summary judgment
brought by Mark.
White v. City of Laguna Beach, et al. The plaintiff sued the City of Laguna Beach
and its police officers, claiming that they violated his First Amendment rights, and
unlawfully seized him, when he was issued a citation for obstructing the sidewalk
while participating in a demonstration. Mark prevailed on a motion for summary
judgment.
Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Windings, Inc. In this matter, Mark successfully
represented a turbine-manufacturing company in a complex contractual dispute
with the makers of one of the key components of the client’s turbine engines, which
was based in Mexico. The matter settled on extremely favorable terms for the client
on the eve of a lengthy arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators.
Lauren Construction v. Hanwha Q-Cells. In this case, Mark successfully
represented the owner of a solar power-plant project (Hanwha Q-Cells) in a dispute
on various construction-related issues with one of its subcontractors. The matter
settled on very favorable terms for the client on the eve of a complex arbitration
before a panel of arbitrators.

Proposed Team Leader: Anna C. Shimko

Our attorneys are well versed with a host of local, state, and federal environmental

extensive experience with state and local land use and planning-related matters as well
as with state and federal legal and regulatory frameworks governing schemes regulating

clean water, clean air, endangered species, historic and tribal cultural resources,
electricity generation/ transmission, and climate change.
Burke regularly assists public agencies with the preparation and defense of environmental
documents prepared pursuant to CEQA and NEPA. Because of our many public entity
clients, Burke deals with CEQA issues daily and provides regular legal advice, opinions
and comments regarding all aspects of the process, including compliance and adequacy
of documents. Our team also has extensive trial and appellate court experience litigating
CEQA and other environmental related cases, as well as experience overseeing
environmental work and permitting activities for regional planning entities. At both the trial
and appellate court levels, we have successfully challenged improper CEQA
determinations made by other public agencies, and successfully defended CEQA
determinations that our public agency clients made. Recognizing that sometimes
settlement is the best option for the client, we have negotiated agreements that have
resolved lawsuits without the need for trial.
Burke attorneys are very familiar with federal and state environmental regulations and
regulatory agencies, such as the California Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, Regional Water Quality Control Boards, the U.S. Department of
Interior, the Department of Water Resources, and county flood control districts. Burke’s
experience includes negotiation and permitting with federal, state, and local regulatory
agencies, working with regional water quality control boards on water conveyance
systems and wastewater facilities, and advising and litigating on the Endangered Species
Act and the Clean Water Act.
One of our strengths is the variety of projects that the firm has dealt with in the
environmental arena. The firms’ attorneys have analyzed environmental issues in
connection with housing projects, school projects, retail commercial developments, office
park developments, infrastructure projects, industrial and warehouse/logistics projects,
resort projects, landfills, solid waste franchises, and even mining projects. Again, this
breadth of experience gives the firm a unique perspective on environmental regulation,
which we use for our clients’ benefit.
Anna C. Shimko’s practice focuses on all areas of land use, real estate development,
and environmental law, representing both public agencies and private landowners and
developers in administrative and court proceedings. Anna has particular expertise in

Stephen E. Velyvis Steve Velyvis is a well-respected land use and environmental law
attorney with over 24 years of expertise advising and representing public agency and
private clients in administrative proceedings and before state and federal trial and
appellate courts. While Steve has extensive advisory and litigation experience with a

to the City of Vernon
multitude of land use and environmental laws (e.g., state and local planning and zoning
laws, Subdivision Map Act, Coastal Act), he is best known for his CEQA expertise, having
represented myriad parties on all three “sides” of the CEQA coin over his career. In other
words, in addition to successfully representing Burke’s many municipal and public agency
clients, Steve has also successfully represented project applicants and project
opponents. In this regard, Steve distinguishes himself as a leading CEQA practitioner, as
his broad-based experience gives him unique and valuable insight into what all three
sides in a given CEQA project are thinking every step of the way. This perspective
enables Steve to develop cutting-edge legal strategies aimed at resolving conflicts and
prevailing in litigation, as opposed to simply posturing or falling back on routine, "cookie
cutter" advice and litigation tools. In sum, Steve draws on his collective experience to help
Burke’s public agency clients think outside the box and routinely provides successful,
cost-effective results.
Indeed, Steve works daily on complex CEQA and NEPA compliance and litigation matters
and in just the past few years alone, Steve has worked and continues to work with
numerous cities and other public agencies to provide advice and actively guide the
preparation of numerous CEQA strategies and documents including statutory and
categorical exemptions, mitigated negative declarations, and environmental impact
reports and addenda. Just a few examples of Steve’s recent/current CEQA work with
public agencies include the following: working closely with multiple public agency clients
to investigate, document and substantiate numerous CEQA exemption determinations;
working closely with city staff and CEQA consultants in the preparation of an MND for a
unique and controversial road extension/single family residential project, as well as a
challenging creek storm drain outfall repair project; advising and successfully guiding City
staff and consultants in the preparation of an EIR for a significant project to replace the
City’s historic Recreation and Aquatics Center; and leading and advising an
interdisciplinary team of planners, designers, engineers and environmental consultants
on a host of CEQA and NEPA issues associated with the preparation of a Joint EIS/EIR
for the Friant-Kern Canal Middle Reach Capacity Correction Project, which aimed to
restore capacity within 33 miles of the canal impacted by land subsidence.
Overall, Steve’s CEQA-advice and litigation counsel work has spanned numerous, wide-
ranging projects including various residential, mixed use, industrial (wine production,
desalination, canal/water supply, e-commerce warehouse) commercial, public works
(dam removal, creek storm drain outfall repair) and planning (area/specific plan,
comprehensive general plan update, housing element, all electric reach code ordinance)
projects. And when agency project approvals and CEQA determinations are challenged,
Steve regularly and successfully leads litigation defense teams and efforts by securing
favorable settlements and/or court judgments. Steve recently successfully defended two
municipal clients’ CEQA exemption determinations and related project approvals in both
the trial and appellate courts, efforts that resulted in significant published decisions by the
First District Court of Appeal in McCorkle Eastside Neighborhood Group v. City of St.
Helena (2019) 31 Cal.App.5th 80 and in Save Livermore Downtown v. City of Livermore

(2022) 87 Cal.App.5th 1116. And, on behalf of a private developer client and in
conjunction with an East Bay City, Steve recently prevailed in litigation in Contra Costa
County Superior Court by successfully defending the approval of an 81-unit senior
apartment project challenged on CEQA and State Density Bonus grounds (see Clayton
for Responsible Development v. City of Clayton – Contra Costa County Superior Court
Case No. N20-05343 [limited to trial court as no appeal was filed]). Finally, just two
months ago Steve successfully represented the City of Culver City and prevailed in
litigation in Los Angeles County Superior court by defending the City’s claimed CEQA
exemption for and approval of a roadway mobility project (see Friends and Families for
MOVE Culver City v. City of Culver City – Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No.
23STCP03833 [time to appeal still open]).
Erica L. Vega advises public agencies on land use planning and development projects
from start to finish, helping staff and legislative bodies understand and navigate the
complex web of state and federal laws and regulations applicable to land development in
California, including CEQA and NEPA, Permit Streamlining Act, Subdivision Map Act,
Housing Accountability Act, Housing Crisis Act, Density Bonus Law, Mitigation Fee Act,
and other provisions of California’s Planning and Zoning Law. Over her seventeen year
career, Erica has worked side by side with agency staff on a wide range of public and
private projects, including major freeway interchange and state highway improvements;
the adoption and amendment of General and Specific Plans, including Housing Element
updates; university campus expansions; hospitals; civic centers; and large, master
planned residential and mixed use developments. For example, Erica advised the City of
Eastvale on the environmental review and entitlement of a master planned mixed use
project on approximately 160 acres of former dairy land, consisting of up to 2,500 homes,
a civic center complex consisting of a city hall, library, police substation, and public park,
and a commercial “lifestyle” center. Erica was a part of the team that negotiated a
development agreement for the project on behalf of the City with the developer of the
residential portion of the project. Erica also routinely provides training to agency staff and
legislative bodies on California’s ever-changing housing and land use laws, and assists
with the drafting of ordinances and other policies necessitated by new legislation.

Nathan Oyster is the Vice Chair of the Litigation Practice Group at Burke. His
practice focuses on the defense of law enforcement officers and local
governments in civil rights litigation, and he also provides guidance to law
enforcement agencies on the implementation of policies that reduce the
likelihood of litigation.
Nathan has been recognized as one of the leaders in Law Enforcement
Defense litigation in California. His March 2023 defense verdict on behalf of
the City of Los Angeles in a fatal officer-involved shooting case was selected
by the Daily Journal as one of the top 20 defense verdicts in the state in the
publication’s annual Top Verdicts edition.

represented 13 different law enforcement agencies throughout the state in
civil litigation. He has tried cases in both state and federal court, with his first
jury trial coming at age 24. He has also argued before both the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals and the California Court of Appeal. Nathan has defended
nearly every type of litigation that a law enforcement agency could face,
including officer-involved shootings, deaths due to excited delirium, class
action litigation, malicious prosecution claims, allegations of excessive force,
and allegations of unconstitutional jail conditions. He is adept at defending
litigation brought under Section 1983, the Unruh Act, the Ralph Act, and the
Bane Act. Nathan also advises law enforcement agencies throughout the
state on a variety of policy issues.
Representative clients include the County of Riverside, the University of
Southern California, and the cities of Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena,

Steve Velyvis is a well-respected land use and environmental law attorney
with over 22 years of expertise advising and representing public agency and
private clients in administrative proceedings and before state and federal trial
and appellate courts.
Steve has extensive advisory and litigation experience with and works daily
on projects addressing complex legal issues spanning the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the Federal Power Act, and the California Coastal Act, as well as the
state and federal legal and regulatory frameworks governing clean water,
clean air, endangered species and electricity generation and transmission. He
also routinely represents clients in land use and planning-related matters and
advises on CEQA compliance issues in eminent domain matters.
While Steve has extensive advisory and litigation experience with a multitude
of environmental laws, he is most experienced with CEQA, having
represented parties on all three “sides” of the CEQA equation. In other words,
in addition to successfully representing Burke’s many municipal and public
agency clients, Steve has also successfully represented numerous private
clients (e.g., project applicants and project opponents) on important CEQA
matters. In this regard, Steve distinguishes himself as a leading CEQA
practitioner. Steve’s deep and varied experience gives him invaluable insight
into what all three sides on a given CEQA project are thinking at every step
along the way. This unique perspective also enables him to develop cutting-
edge legal strategies aimed at resolving conflicts and prevailing in litigation,
as opposed to simply posturing or falling back on routine "cookie cutter"
advice and litigation tools. In sum, Steve draws on his collective experience
to help Burke’s clients think outside the box and routinely provides successful,
cost-effective results.
RESULTS
In just the past few years alone, Steve has worked with numerous cities,
school districts, and private clients providing advice on projects involving
myriad land use and environmental issues, actively guiding the preparation of
a host of CEQA documents (statutory and categorical exemptions, mitigated
negative declarations and environmental impact reports and addenda) and
successfully defending various legal challenges thereto.
Steve also has experience with solar and other renewable energy projects
and climate change issues, including representation of parties in proceedings
before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Forest Service,
the State Water Resources Control Board, and the California Public Utilities
Commission concerning PV solar, pumped-storage hydroelectricity,
transmission line, water supply/canal and desalination projects involving
complex CEQA/NEPA, Clean Water Act, CA Coastal Act and Endangered
Species Act issues, among others.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:May 20, 2025
From:Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works
Department:Public Works
Submitted by:Lissette Melendez, Project Engineer
Subject
Project Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 for Fiscal Year
2025-26
Recommendation
A. Find that the approval of the proposed resolution does not constitute a "project" pursuant to
sections 15378(b)(2) and (4) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), because it constitutes an administrative activity and government funding mechanism
that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant impact on the environment; and even if the adoption of the proposed resolution did
constitute a project, it would be exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the
general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the
environment; and
B. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-012 adopting a project list to be funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road
Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26.
Background
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) – The Road Repair and Accountability Act was signed by the Governor on
April 28, 2017. SB 1 addressed basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs
on both the state highway and local street and road systems. SB 1 increases per-gallon fuel
excise taxes, increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees, and provides for
inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
On November 1, 2017, the State Controller commenced depositing a portion of this new funding
into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Part of the RMRA
funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways
Code (SHC) Section 2031 (h)(2) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety
projects on the local streets and road systems. Pursuant to SHC Section 2030, RMRA local
streets and roads allocations must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the
following:
▪ Road maintenance and rehabilitation
▪ Safety projects
▪ Railroad grade separations
▪ Traffic control devices
▪ Complete street components (e.g. active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle
safety projects, transit facilities, etc.)
The City's allocation for FY 2025-26 is estimated to be $5,536 pursuant to the formula in SHC
Section 2103(a)(3)(c)(i) and (ii). The formula proportions the total population of the City to the
total population of all cities in the state.
SPENDING PLANS AND REPORTS
The RMRA stipulates that, prior to receiving RMRA funds in a fiscal year, a city or county must
.
.
Item 10 Page 1 of 2
submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a project list pursuant to an adopted
budget. For each project, the list must include a description, location, schedule, and useful life.
The RMRA also requires the submission of an annual report of project completion in order to
receive RMRA funds. The report must include all projects for which RMRA funds were expended.
The Citywide Striping and Pavement Markings project is identified as a potential candidate for
FY 2025-26 SB 1 funding.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The City will receive an estimated $5,536 in
RMRA funding in FY 2025-26 from SB 1 and will allocate funding once it fulfills the requirements
under SB 1.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-012
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON
ADOPTING A PROJECT LIST TO BE FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1: THE
ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2025-2026
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5,
Statutes of 2017), was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in
April 2017, to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls
statewide.
B. SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions to ensure that the
residents and business community of our City are aware of the projects proposed for
funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year.
C. The City must adopt by resolution a list of all projects proposed to receive funding
from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which
must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule
for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
D. Streets and Highways Code Section 2031(h)(2) specifies that 50 percent of the
balance of revenues deposited into the RMRA, after certain funding is set aside for
various programs, will be continuously appropriated to cities and counties by the State
Controller pursuant to the formula in Streets and Highways Code Section 2103(a)(3)(C)(i)
and (ii).
E. The City will receive an estimated $5,536 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2025-
2026 from SB 1.
F. By Staff Report dated May 20, 2025, the Director of Public Works has
recommended the adoption of a project list to be funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and
Accountability Act for Fiscal Year 2025-2026; given the limited amount of SB 1 funding
allocated to the City, the proposed project would partially fund the maintenance of traffic
striping and pavement markers on certain streets within the City’s boundary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VERNON AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Vernon finds and determines that the
above recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 3. The City Council of the City of Vernon finds that this action does not

constitute a “project” pursuant to sections 15378(b)(2) and (4) of the Guidelines to the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because it constitutes an administrative
activity and government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to
any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the
environment; and even if the adoption of this Resolution did constitute a project, it would
be exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment.

Rehabilitation Account revenues:

From:Freddie Agyin, Director of Health and Environmental Control
Department:Health and Environmental Control
Submitted by:Dulce Gonzalez, Management Analyst
Subject
Sespe Consulting, Inc. (Sespe) Agreement Amendment No. 1
Recommendation
Authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Services Agreement with
Sespe, in substantially the same form as submitted, for environmental compliance and
remediation technical consulting services, increasing the contract amount by $200,000, bringing
the total amount not-to-exceed to $500,000, for a 3-year term.
Background
On December 5, 2022, following a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the City
Council approved a three-year Professional Services Agreement with Sespe for environmental
compliance and remediation technical consulting services (Agreement). Sespe was selected due
to its outstanding qualifications, including technical expertise, competitive pricing, and
responsiveness. The Agreement established a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for the term
ending December 5, 2025.
Sespe has consistently delivered high-quality consulting services, including technical reviews,
and regulatory guidance for numerous environmental projects under the oversight of the
Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). Since the commencement of the
Agreement, the volume and complexity of environmental projects have significantly increased
beyond initial projections. As a result, DHEC has exhausted the original contract amount well
ahead of the term end date.
Continuity of service from Sespe is essential to ensure that ongoing projects remain in
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and continue progressing without
interruption. In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.030, City Council approval
is required for contract amendments exceeding $100,000. Staff requests approval to increase
the total not-to-exceed contract amount by $200,000, bringing the revised total to $500,000, while
maintaining the original contract expiration date of December 5, 2025.
Amendment No. 1 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is estimated at $200,000. Sufficient funds are available in General Fund, Health
Department, Professional Services - Technical Account No. 011-020-200-529225 for the current
fiscal year and has been budgeted for subsequent year 2025-2026.

Services Agreement with InfraTerra, Inc.
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Services Agreement with InfraTerra,
Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted, for the water system seismic vulnerability
assessment, in an amount not-to-exceed $242,027.
Background
The water supply and distribution infrastructure of the City is comprised of several components:
6 active groundwater production wells, 4 inactive wells, 14 booster pumps, a 10-million-gallon
underground concrete reservoir, 6 one (1) 1-million-gallon above ground steel reservoirs, 1
elevated steel tank with a capacity of 600,000 gallons, and approximately 49 miles of distribution
pipeline. Additionally, the City has a connection to the Metropolitan Water District and a recycled
water connection.
The City’s water supply and distribution system is experiencing age-related challenges. To
mitigate the impact of a significant earthquake in the area and ensure continued reliability of the
water system, it is crucial to reduce both the number of repairs required and the length of service
interruptions. To maintain a steady water supply for customers while lowering repair expenses
for Vernon Public Utilities (VPU), the Water Division is implementing a two-phase strategy to
evaluate the seismic risks associated with the current water supply and distribution system.
Phase 1 involves site inspections, data collection, and engineering assessments of the existing
facilities and infrastructure. Phase 2 will produce evaluation reports that will offer retrofit
suggestions, including structural assessments, and recommendations for the elevated tank. The
evaluation reports will aid in future Capital Improvement Planning initiatives, guiding decisions
on necessary retrofits, repairs, or infrastructure replacements to improve seismic resilience.
To advance with Phases 1 and 2 and in compliance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section
3.32.080, on February 18, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Water System
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment. The RFP was advertised on the City’s PlanetBids platform.
The scope of services encompasses a two-step project aimed at assessing the current conditions
of the existing water supply and distribution system and sites and providing seismic retrofit
recommendations. The RFP issued specifically focused on the assessment of seismic
vulnerabilities in the water system. Following the completion of the assessment phase, a Request
for Bids or additional RFPs will be issued to create separate contracts for any design or
construction work that may arise from this evaluation.
Proposal packages were received from two firms by the March 10, 2025 deadline. A qualified
panel thoroughly examined the proposals based on professional qualifications (45%), overall
approach and strategy (45%), and responsiveness to the RFP (10%). Both responsive firms met
the minimum criteria outlined in the RFP. Interviews were conducted with each of the two
responding firms to gauge each firm’s suitability to meet the City’s needs. Based on the
evaluation process, the proposal submitted by InfraTerra, Inc. (InfraTerra) demonstrated a
.
.
Item 12 Page 1 of 2
combination of expertise, understanding, experience, and a comprehensive approach that was
best suited to fulfill the scope of services outlined in the RFP. The proposal submitted by
InfraTerra ranked the highest score across the panel and was, therefore, deemed most qualified.
InfraTerra specializes in seismic assessment of water infrastructure and development of
mitigation solutions to improve resiliency.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Services Agreement with InfraTerra for the
water system seismic vulnerability assessment for a total amount not-to-exceed $242,027.
Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030(A), City Council approval is required for the proposed
agreement, as the total value of the contract exceeds $100,000.
The proposed Services Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City
Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not to exceed $242,027. Sufficient funds are available in the Water Fund,
Capital Outlay, Account No. 058-070-700-660000 for the current fiscal year and additional funds
are budgeted in fiscal year 2025-26.

performance under this agreement by agreeing to defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless, the City, and its respective employees, agents, and City

(“Claims”), which are attributable to any act or omission by the Contractor

10.5.2 Secure and maintain in force a policy of workers' compensation insurance
with statutory limits and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of one

waive all rights of subrogation against City, its directors, commissioners,
officers, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from performance

Page 7 of 18
10.5.3 If Contractor has no employees, it may certify or warrant to the City that it
does not currently have any employees or individuals who are defined as
“employees” under the Labor Code, and the requirement for Workers’
Compensation coverage will be waived by completing the waiver form
provided by the City.
10.6 If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums
shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits
maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be signed by a person authorized
by that insurer to evidence coverage on its behalf. The certificate(s) must be in a form approved
by City. City may require complete, certified copies of any or all policies upon request.
10.10 Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and
material breach. In such event, Contractor shall immediately notify City and cease all
performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City. In the absence of
satisfactory insurance coverage, City may, at its option: (a) procure insurance with collection
rights for premiums, attorney's fees, and costs against Contractor by way of set-off or
recoupment from sums due to Contractor, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this
Agreement and seek damages from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure
the risk, with all damages and costs incurred, by judgment, settlement or otherwise, including
attorney's fees and costs, being collectible from Contractor, by way of set-off or recoupment
from any sums due to Contractor.

INTRODUCTION
1 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
InfraTerra, Inc. (InfraTerra) is pleased to submit our proposal to the City of Vernon (City) to provide
engineering for the seismic vulnerability assessment of the City’s water infrastructure. This proposal is
prepared in response to the request for proposal (RFP), issued February 18, 2025.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Vernon, located approximately five miles from Los Angeles, is an industrial city that serves
more than 1,800 businesses and 250 residents. The city is located in a high seismic hazard with several
major earthquake faults in its vicinity. A reliable water supply is critical to the economy of the region and
the safety and economic wellbeing of close to 50,000 people employed by these industries.
The goal of this study is to perform an evaluation of the city’s water infrastructure components and
identify their seismic vulnerabilities. Based on the identified vulnerabilities, develop mitigation solutions
that include seismic retrofit recommendations, post-earthquake repair, and operational modifications to
make the water system more resilient to earthquakes.
The work will be performed to meet the latest applicable codes and standards and the results presented
in a detailed draft and final report that includes evaluation methodology, results of vulnerability
assessment, and recommendations for seismic retrofit or no retrofit as appropriate. A prioritized list of
projects and associated mitigation or replacement cost estimates will be provided. The results of this
study will be used to support future Capital Improvement Planning.
PROJECT APPROACH
The seismic response of water systems is complex because of their geographically distributed nature. A
water system consists of both linear and site components, ranging from buried pipelines that cross
multiple zones of earthquake hazard to above and underground tanks, and pump stations that may be
exposed to failure of the underlying soil during strong ground shaking. Each of these components
respond differently to a given hazard and are typically built incrementally over many years under
evolving design standards. As a result, various parts of the system are subjected to different hazards and
risk levels, such as spatial variations and incoherency of earthquake ground motions, transient and
permanent ground deformations (TGD and PGD), earthquake triggered liquefaction and slope failure,
and site geotechnical conditions.
InfraTerra’s approach to a seismic resiliency study is to incorporate the vulnerability of system
components, the criticality and functionality of each component, and the overall system response to
earthquake loading. Key steps involved in this process include:
• Data collection and review: It includes design drawings, operations and maintenance records,
pipeline data in geographical information system (GIS), available geotechnical data, and
published information on seismic hazards such as faults, earthquake shaking, liquefaction, and
slope stability.
• Site reconnaissance: Site visit at each facility is performed by senior structural engineers and
geologists to document as-built conditions, vulnerabilities, and hazards such as unstable slopes
or settlement. We use non-destructive methods such as an ultrasonic device to measure tank
shell thickness and a rebar locator for concrete structures.

INTRODUCTION
2 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
• Seismic hazard analysis: Use information from sources such as United States Geological Survey
(USGS) and California Geologic Survey (CGS) to develop hazards maps including earthquake
shaking, liquefaction, landslides, and surface faulting.
• Structural vulnerability assessment: The effort ranges from simplified hand calculations to
detailed finite element analysis. The assessments are performed using the latest codes and
standards.
• Develop mitigation strategies and recommendation: Develop retrofit strategies for strengthening
and provide recommendations such as material stockpiles for post-earthquake repair, isolation
and bypass as operational solutions, and emergency response planning. A prioritized list of
recommendations along with planning level costs is presented in a detailed report.
CAPABILITIES
InfraTerra has extensive experience in performing
seismic assessment of water infrastructure. Our
staff has performed such studies for numerous
water systems (Table 1). Since our founding in
2011, we have successfully completed seismic
resiliency projects for over 30 major water industry
clients. Our clients range from large utilities to small
and mid-size municipalities such as the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), City
of Portland Water Bureau (PWB), Seattle Public
Utilities (SPU), Sonoma Water, Elsinore Valley
Water District, City of Petaluma, and City of
Sunnyvale. The latter is located in the heart of
Silicon Valley and, similar to the City of Vernon,
supplies water to major industries in the region. For
these projects, we have demonstrated our ability to
deliver quality on schedule and within budget.
Seismic assessment of large geographically
distributed water systems requires specialized
expertise in a range of technical disciplines. Our
team, with its breadth of experience on multiple
similar projects, have the insight and understanding
of the various technical disciplines required for this
study. We have successfully employed our
multidisciplinary expertise on water system seismic
reliability projects with both in-house capabilities
and partnership with subconsultants for completing
seismic reliability projects.
We have supported our clients with FEMA grant applications, including helping Sonoma Water obtain
close to $10 million in funding.

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
3 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
The majority of the City of Vernon’s water system is supplied by three booster plants. Booster Plant 1
(BP1) with one 10 million gallon (MG) underground concrete reservoir, two wells, and five booster
pumps. Booster Plant 2 (BP2) and Booster Plant 3 (BP3) each with three 1 MG above ground steel
reservoirs and two wells. BP2 has five and BP3 has four booster pumps. The water system also includes
a 600,000-gallon elevated tank near the L.A. River and four additional wells. The City of Vernon has a
connection with the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) for imported water that is used on an as-
needed basis. The approximate locations of the water system facilities are shown in Figure 1 (left).
The City of Vernon is located in an area of high seismic hazard due to its proximity to many active faults,
including the Compton, Puente Hills, Elysian Park, and Newport-Inglewood faults (Figure 1, right). The
2014 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities estimates a 46% probability of a M7.0 or
greater earthquake affecting the Los Angeles region in the next 30 years (UCERF3, Field et al, 2015).
Anticipated peak ground acceleration (PGA) in the city ranges from about 0.5g to 0.9g for the 475- and
2,475-year return periods (USGS, 2023). Mapping by CGS shows that the southeastern portion of the
city, where BP3 is located, is in a liquefaction hazard zone (Figure 1, left). BP1, BP2 and the elevated tank
are located outside of the CGS hazard zone. However, due to their proximity to the L.A. River, lateral
spread from liquefaction may be a hazard. Alternatively, since the river is concrete-lined, the overall
hazard may be low.
The general scope of work for this project includes characterizing strong ground shaking and estimating
permanent ground deformation (PGD) from liquefaction. Fault rupture is not thought to be a significant
hazard based on work by CGS as the water system is outside the official Alquist-Priolo fault rupture
hazard zones; however, InfraTerra will review the potential for surface faulting. Structural/seismic
assessments of the City’s water facilities will be performed to identify seismic vulnerabilities and
develop seismic retrofit recommendations. A detailed work plan is presented in the following section.

WORK PLAN
4 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
Our proposed tasks for this study are outlined below.
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
InfraTerra’s Senior Engineer, Dr. Vladmir Calugaru (PE) will be the Project Manager. He has
demonstrated experience managing technically complex projects. He will be responsible for
coordination and communication with the city staff, preparation of monthly invoices, project progress
reports, schedule and budget control. In addition to project management activities, he will also serve as
the technical lead for this work. In this capacity, he will provide general consultation related to various
technical aspects of the project. With 15 years of providing seismic resilience services for the water
industry, he is well suited in this dual role. He will work closely with Mr. Ahmed Nisar, project Principal-
in-Charge with over 36 years of experience in water system seismic assessments.
Dr. Calugaru will prepare and maintain the
project schedule. He will perform timely
updates to the city on the progress of the
work, schedule, and budget spent. He
recognizes that seismic studies for water
infrastructure require an understanding of both the stated goals and unstated drivers such as public and
stakeholder concerns. For the Portland Water Bureau (PWB) project, InfraTerra worked with 25 internal
and external stakeholders and delivered a successful project; and for Sonoma Water’s NHRA study, we
worked with senior managers in engineering, planning, operations, maintenance, and environmental
divisions and presented major conclusions of the study to Sonoma Water’s contractors.
InfraTerra will schedule and conduct a Kick-off Meeting within two weeks after contract execution. The
main objectives of the Kick-off Meeting are to introduce the InfraTerra team to the city’s Project
Manager and key stakeholders, and to confirm project timeline and deliverables. During the meeting,
we will also identify the key data and coordination requirements for completing the project.
In addition to the kick-off meeting, we will meet with the city on a regular basis. For planning purposes,
we have assumed monthly teleconference calls with the city’s project manager to report on the project
progress, the status of site visits and assessments, and address any challenges encountered in the
performance of our work. In addition to the planned meeting, InfraTerra will have frequent
communications with the city’s project manager to discuss project progress.
TASK 2: SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND DATA COLLECTION
InfraTerra will develop an optimal site visit schedule in conjunction with the availability of the city’s staff.
We will conduct on-site inspections of all structures in the project scope. The main purpose of the site
visits is to assess the current conditions of the structures, noting of any damage or structural
degradation, and obtain measurements as needed for our assessment. Access to facility interiors and
permission to take conventional and ultrasonic measurements is requested. During the site visit we will
make observations and document the anchorage status of critical nonstructural components that can
impact life safety and operations.
Field reconnaissance is a cost-effective method for providing additional characterization of the broad
study area. The site visits will be performed by our licensed engineers and engineering geologists at the
reservoirs, wells, pump stations, and at select locations to help fill data gaps in liquefaction hazard
mapping. We will collect data site reconnaissance data on electronic data collection forms to facilitate
Example

5 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
an efficient collection of data. Field observations and site photographs will be collected on GPS-enabled
tablets using base maps developed from LiDAR and aerial imagery. During the site visits, our team will
also collect data and interpret topographic, geologic, and groundwater conditions at each site. Geologic
and topographic conditions that may impact pipeline vulnerability will also be documented.
For the water tanks, our team will collect data to
confirm existing data, obtain missing data where
possible such as plate thickness or subsurface
conditions, and note any site constraints which may
impact potential mitigation options. For steel tanks,
we also use a handheld ultrasonic testing device to
measure shell thickness.
An important aspect of tank assessment is the inlet/
outlet piping connection to the tank. Side
penetration overconstrained connections and
bottom penetration connections (if they are near the edge of the tank) are vulnerable especially for
unanchored tanks and have failed in past earthquakes resulting in loss of water. In addition, inlet/outlet
pipelines between the tank and the main transmission line can also be vulnerable and are sometimes
overlooked in a typical seismic assessment study.
For wells and pump stations, the site visit will focus on observing general as-built conditions and
identifying any apparent seismic vulnerabilities, such as vulnerable piping connections, cracking of
concrete, vulnerable details such as roof-to-wall connections, signs of distress, and mass and stiffness
irregularities. If available, a review of available structural drawings will be performed. During the site
visit, we will also note seismic vulnerabilities, such as unanchored mechanical and electrical equipment.
Damage to unanchored motor control cabinets (MCC) and programmable logic controller cabinets (PLC)
has been common in past earthquakes.
An important aspect of the seismic resiliency study is to develop an understanding of water system
operations, critical elements of the system, and known problems and issues so that the mitigation
recommendations are both practical and have a buy-in from internal and external stakeholders. It has
been our experience that water system operators, maintenance and engineering staff who work with
the system on a day-to-day basis have insights that can help tremendously with the overall seismic
reliability study. As part of this task, we will meet with city staff who are knowledgeable about water
system operation and maintenance.
TASK 3: SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS
InfraTerra will develop detailed seismic hazard maps for the City of Vernon’s service area. The general
methodology for ground shaking estimates includes probabilistic or scenario-based (deterministic)
analyses. The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) procedure considers all known potentially
active seismic sources and uncertainty in the location and magnitude of an earthquake and the seismic
activity rate on each earthquake source. The City of Vernon’s water system is located in an area of high
seismic hazard with the seismic hazard primarily controlled by the active Compton thrust and Puente
Hills faults (Figure 1). At least six M7.0-7.4 earthquakes have occurred on the Compton fault during the
Holocene (in the last 11,700 years), with the most recent being approximately 700-1,750 years ago
(Leon et al., 2009). The Santa Fe Springs segment of the Puente Hills fault is considered to be the source

of the 1987 M5.9 Whittier Narrows earthquake, which caused an estimated $358 million in property
damages in the East L.A. area (Shaw et al., 2002). For this study, we will utilize both the probabilistic and
deterministic (scenario-based) methodologies to calculate ground shaking hazard for the project area.
We will use the latest USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps for probabilistic and scenario earthquakes.
Key ground motion parameters for water system seismic studies include peak ground acceleration
(PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and Spectral Acceleration. PGA is used for the evaluation of
liquefaction hazard and permanent ground deformation (PGD); PGV is used for the assessment of
transient ground strains required for the assessment of pipeline vulnerability; spectral accelerations are
used for the seismic assessment of above ground structures including sloshing effects in tanks.
InfraTerra will prepare GIS maps of these ground motion parameters across the City’s service area.
As shown in Figure 1, active faults (faults with activity within the last 11,00 years) do not appear to cross
the City’s system; however, the inferred map trace of the Lower
Elysian fault cuts across the water system and through BP2. Originally
thought to be the source of the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake,
the Lower Elysian fault is capable of generating a similar size
earthquake. However, similar to the Wittier Narrows event,
movement on the fault likely would occur at depth and not be
associated with surface ground rupture. InfraTerra has extensive
experience in fault investigation studies including geomorphic
mapping and fault trenching to characterize fault location and
activity. We will use published information on the faults that directly impact the water system. During
our site reconnaissance our senior geologist will observe both regional and local geologic, topographic,
and manmade features to assess if the fault strands appear to be active or potentially active.
TASK 4: LIQUEFACTION ASSESSMENT
Liquefaction susceptibility of soils in the study area will be assessed using latest analysis procedures
(Boulanger and Idriss, 2014). This methodology incorporates refinements to liquefaction analysis
procedures by including high-quality liquefaction case histories from recent earthquakes in New Zealand
(2010-2011 CES) and Japan (2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku).
The project area is covered by the CGS Seismic Hazard Zone (SHZ) Reports for the Los Angeles and South
Gate quadrangles. The SHZ maps shows areas underlain by materials susceptible to liquefaction;
however, they do not quantify the expected amount of PGD (ground settlement and lateral spread)
required for structural assessment of pipelines and above ground facilities. Pipelines are particularly
sensitive to the amount and direction of deformation due to liquefaction. While regional methods (such
as HAZUS®) are available to estimate PGD from liquefaction, they include significant uncertainty and can
be overly conservative. InfraTerra staff are experts in accurate and cost-effective GIS-based estimation
of liquefaction-related PGD utilizing detailed knowledge of subsurface soil conditions.
Figure 1 shows that there is a significant amount of geotechnical boring data available for the study
area. We will utilize this information to perform project-specific liquefaction analysis using state-of-the-
art algorithms to estimate PGD. These algorithms, developed by InfraTerra’s project team, include a
range of uncertainty parameters to fully capture the liquefaction and lateral spread hazard to pipelines.
Our approach was successfully applied to the PWB project and was reviewed and vetted by leading
experts (Dr. Steve Kramer of the University of Washington and Dr. Tom O’Rourke of Cornell University),

the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), and more than 20 PWB
stakeholders.
We recently employed this approach for the San Francisco Bay Area for a major California utility
company. The study utilized 140,000 geotechnical borings and Cone Penetrometer Tests (CPT) as well as
16,000 water wells. We also used this approach for the recently completed seismic vulnerability study
for the City of Sunnyvale’s water system. Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, the City of Sunnyvale,
similar to the City of Vernon,
supplies water to major
industries in the area. The
results of our study for the City
of Sunnyvale led to a
substantial improvement in
understanding and
quantification of the
liquefaction hazards and a
reduction in the seismic
vulnerability of Sunnyvale’s
pipeline network compared to
past studies that utilized
regional maps. A clipped
example comparison between
publicly available regional
mapping and InfraTerra’s
liquefaction study is shown in
Figure 2 for a PGA of 0.40g in
the southern Bay Area.
As part of the data collection task, we will obtain publicly available geotechnical and well log data in the
vicinity of the project area to calculate liquefaction-induced PGD for the study area. LiDAR data will be
obtained to identify free faces and ground slope needed to quantify the lateral spreading hazard. We
have successfully employed this methodology in assessing liquefaction hazards in other seismic
vulnerability projects for our water clients including the City of Forest Grove, the City of Sunnyvale, the
Seattle Public Utilities and PWB. The deliverable for this task will include PGA, PGV and liquefaction-
induced PGD maps for the study area.
TASK 5: STRUCTURAL VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
Pipeline (Mains) Assessment: One of the most important tasks for the seismic assessment of a water
system is the definition of a backbone system. The backbone system identifies a network of pipelines
within the water system that can transfer water to key distribution points within the service area for
emergency response, while damage to the larger (non-backbone) system is being addressed. InfraTerra
has extensive experience working with owners and key stakeholders to identify a pipeline backbone
network. In the identification of the backbone, we will pay attention to key distribution points such as
hospitals, schools and other sites identified by the city as key emergency response locations.
Seismic response of buried pipelines depends on complex interactions between pipelines and adjacent
soil and is especially challenging because of their geographically distributed nature. While some damage

can occur to pipelines from TGD resulting from seismic wave propagation, the predominant cause of
damage is from PGD. Typical sources of PGD include liquefaction-induced lateral spread and settlement,
fault rupture, and seismically triggered landslides. Damage rates from PGD are an order of magnitude
higher than TGD. For the City of Vernon, liquefaction-induced settlement and lateral spread are the
main sources of PGD.
InfraTerra’s approach for vulnerability assessment of pipelines considers pipeline construction and joint
types. Using the available information, City of Vernon’s pipelines will be divided into two broad groups.
The first includes pipeline locations where the likelihood of damage is very high and localized such as
river or creek crossings, lateral spread zones, and fault crossings. The second group includes random
damage that could occur anywhere along the pipeline with a higher likelihood of damage in mapped
zones of high hazard.
The seismic assessment of pipelines will be performed by overlying the city’s water system network on
maps of expected PGV and PGD maps developed in Task 3 and Task 4. It has been our experience that in
many cases, regional maps might show high hazard; however, the actual hazard to the pipeline may be
low due to local conditions. For example, for a creek or river crossing the pipeline may be located below
the lateral spread zone or there might be localized ground improvement at the crossing location. For the
city’s pipeline network, we will estimate expected pipeline repair rates (breaks and leaks) using
appropriate pipeline fragilities for both permanent and transient ground deformation using different
methods including those by ALA, 2001, and the more recent O’Rourke, 2020.
Tanks: InfraTerra has extensive experience in seismic analysis of ground supported and elevated tanks as
well as buried and partially buried reservoirs. We have performed seismic analysis of several hundred
tanks and reservoirs ranging from small 1,000 gallon to as large as 260 MG reservoirs. Our analytical
approach for tank analysis ranges from simplified calculations to non-linear finite element analyses with
consideration to soil-structure interaction effects.
Seismic assessment of the City’s tanks will be performed by computing PGA and spectral acceleration at
each tank site for the identified scenario earthquakes and probabilistic estimates of ground shaking as
required by the current codes. Site-specific ground motion response spectra will be developed at each
tank site utilizing the most recent ground motion models with consideration to site-specific subsurface
data. The spectra will be used to evaluate the tank response including sloshing effects.
InfraTerra has in-house Excel spreadsheets for simplified analysis of above ground tanks using the
American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) D100-21 standard. A preliminary seismic assessment of
tanks can be performed for multiple earthquake levels without extensive effort and is well within the
scope of this project. Other significant vulnerabilities for the tanks include lack of flexibility in piping
connections. For bottom penetration piping connections, distance from the edge of the tank is also
important. During the site reconnaissance, we will prepare photographic documentation of
overconstrained piping connection. Additional information would be obtained from tank drawings, if
available. Seismic performance of buried reservoirs is primarily governed by permanent ground
deformations from seismic/geologic hazard at the site. For this study, the 10 MG buried reservoir will be
evaluated following the American Concrete Institute’s standards ACI 350.3 and 318-22. We have
performed seismic assessment of buried tanks for multiple clients including PWB and SPU.
For the City of Vernon’s elevated tank, we will develop a detailed finite element model of the tank to
capture its dynamic response. The analysis will be performed as per the requirements of the latest
.

codes and standards. The analysis will consider inertial and sloshing response of water in the tank and
compute bending moment, shear, and axial forces in the structural members of the supporting tower
and its foundation. The analysis approach and results will be documented in a separate technical
memorandum, which will be included as an appendix to the final report. InfraTerra has performed
analysis of 18 elevated tanks, as much as 100 feet tall, for the California Water Services Company.
Pump Stations: InfraTerra has substantial experience with seismic assessment of pump stations. For our
system seismic study for PWB, we used Hazus for the assessment for 36 pump stations. Hazus is a
nationally applicable standardized methodology developed by the FEMA for estimating potential losses
from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. We also employed similar methodologies for recent studies
for the cities of Snnyvale and Petaluma.
For the City of Vernon, we will develop site-specific ground motion spectra for each pump station site
utilizing the most recent ground motion models and available subsurface data. Site visits will be
performed at each pump station to review existing conditions and obvious structural/seismic
vulnerabilities such as discontinuity in load path, vertical and plan irregularities, and signs of structural
deterioration and settlement. We will use rebar locator to confirm rebar spacing as shown in drawings.
American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) 41-23 Tier 1 methodology will be used to perform a
structural assessment of each pump station using site-specific ground motions. Assessment of
nonstructural components including pumps, MCCs and PLCs will utilize the Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA) P-58.
For facilities identified as noncompliant based on Tier 1 checklists, we will perform Tier 2 analysis. In our
experience, it is unlikely that a Tier 3 analysis, which is generally required for complex multi-story
buildings, will be needed for the pump stations.
Wells: Strong ground shaking from an earthquake could cause fluctuation of the ground water level,
short term transitory turbidity in well water, and fines intrusion and blockage of well screens. In
addition, liquefaction-induced PGD can result in damage to well casings and misalignment of well heads.
Our current projects for the cities of Sunnyvale and Petaluma included an assessment of several wells.
For the PWB project, we performed an assessment of 27 wells located in the City of Portland’s Columbia
Southshore Wellfield. With 95 mgd capacity, it is the second largest water source in the State of Oregon.
Seismic vulnerability of wells will be assessed by reviewing the available well details and hisorical data.
An assessment will be performed based on the estimated levels of shaking and liquefaction hazard. If
the wells or well controls are housed in a building structure, we will adopt the same approach as for the
assessment of pump stations, utilizing ASCE 41-23 Tier 1 methodology for the strucure and FEMA P-58
for nonstructural componets.
TASK 6: MITIGATION STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We will use our understanding of critical vulnerabilities of water systems that, if mitigated, will result in
substantial improvement in post-earthquake system reliability. Due to our past experience, our team
has an appreciation of various stakeholder (both internal and external) concerns. Our proposed
approach for developing system upgrade recommendations incorporates multiple discussions with the
City’s key stakeholders throughout the course of the project.
Based on InfraTerra’s extensive project experience, we have developed mitigation measures and cost
estimates for all aspects of water systems, including pipelines, tanks, pump stations, and wells. We have
.
.
Item 12 Page 27 of 64
WORK PLAN
10 Vernon Water System Seismic Vulnerability Assessment Proposal Rev0
developed recommendations for a range of pipeline materials and construction techniques in seismically
vulnerable environments including river crossings, fault crossings, pipelines through areas of slope
instability, and liquefiable soils.
Mitigation solutions range from pre-earthquake strengthening, post-earthquake repair, emergency
planning, and operational modifications to bypass damage and lessen the negative impact to system
performance. Examples of pre-event strengthening include pipeline replacement using earthquake
resistant pipe or localized joint strengthening such as butt straps or expansion joints. In some cases, we
have developed recommendations for additional geotechnical investigations to constrain various geo-
hazards that could not be easily quantified. For post-earthquake repair we have developed
recommendations for the type and approximate quantity of stockpile material such as sticks of pipeline,
temporary bypass hose, valves, and clamps. We work with our clients to develop operational
considerations such as isolation and bypass and emergency response planning.
For tanks, pre-event strengthening recommendations could include foundation retrofit, providing
anchorage, roof retrofit, and adding flexibility to over-constrained pipe connections or operational
solutions such as reducing fill height, if possible. Mitigation measures for pump stations would address
potential structural, nonstructural, and operational vulnerabilities. For wells, mitigation measures would
likely be limited to ground improvement or relocation but may include upgrades of the well pumps and
piping if the seismic vulnerability is from strong ground shaking alone.
Recommendations based on the structural vulnerability assessments performed in Task 5 will be used to
develop a prioritized list of Capital Improvement Projects. We will develop planning level cost estimates
for facility retrofit options, pipeline replacement, and/or rehabilitation methods.
TASK 6: DRAFT AND FINAL REPORT
Our recommendations will be presented in a draft and final report. The report will describe in detail the
methodology used for the assessment and will be supported by appendices and full-size maps. The
maps will overlay the water system components including facilities and pipelines on hazard maps such
as liquefaction and fault locations to clearly show the facilities in relation to the hazards. The maps will
delineate the backbone systems and other critical information such as roads, emergency facilities, and
businesses. The report will include a detailed discussion of the results of our assessments including the
identified seismic vulnerabilities of the system in its current state and our recommendations. The
recommendations will include conceptual seismic retrofit options and planning level cost estimates. A
prioritized list of recommendations will be provided that can be used for future capital improvement
planning.

Sonoma Water is a wholesale purveyor of water to 9
public entities. Seismic assessment and development
of prioritized mitigation options for water system
components including Ranney wells, 85 miles of
aqueducts, pump stations, water storage tanks,
inflatable dam, two earth dams, chlorination facilities,
and the electric power substation were performed
for a range of hazards including liquefaction,
landslide, ground shaking, fire, flood, and debris flow.
Since 2004, InfraTerra’s principals have been
providing seismic services for Sonoma Water’s
system. The work started with a multi-year, multi-
hazard reliability improvement project for the water
system. Since that time, InfraTerra has performed detailed
assessments of critical components of the system, seismic
design of pipeline fault and river crossings, and
development of Sonoma Water’s local hazard mitigation
plan and supported Sonoma Water in obtaining $10 million
in FEMA funding. Vulnerability assessment was performed
through site reconnaissance by geologists, geotechnical and
structural engineers and nonlinear finite element analysis
needed. Geo-hazards assessment included over 50 creek
crossings were assessed to develop a risk-based evaluation of system reliability.
In 2022, InfraTerra completed an update of the Natural Hazard Reliability Assessment, which included
detailed analyses of the Ranney wells to assess viable seismic retrofit options, pipeline repair estimates,
and probabilisitc system restoration estimates. A fault investigation was performed for the Sonoma
Booster Station by trenching the Bennet Valley.
InfraTerra is nearing completion of the Natural Hazard Mitigation Study for Sonoma Water, which
includes more detailed seismic evaluations of the tanks, aqueducts, and Ranney wells. For this study, we
have completed a reassessment of all of Sonoma Water’s 18 aboveground steel water tanks following
the AWWA D100-21 guidelines. Recognizing the criticality of the tanks, we also worked with Sonoma
Water to select and analyze seismic loading beyond what is prescibed in the code. A geotechnical
investigation consisting of 50 CPTs throughout Sonoma Water’s tranmissions system and regional
liqufaction and lateral spreading analyses was performed for the aqueduct system. Aqueduct sections
with high vulnerability were identified and mitigation projects to address the liquefaction hazards were
developed. Pre-design development to retrofit for the Ranney wells for mitigation of lateral spreading
and ground shaking hazards were also developed.

InfraTerra performed a seismic resiliency study of EVMWD’s water and wastewater system. The system
includes 70 miles of backbone water pipelines, five backbone reservoirs, one water treatment plant, 70
miles of key gravity and force mains and three wastewater treatment plants. EVMWD’s water pipelines
consist primarily of cement mortar lined and coated, ductile iron, and PVC pipes.
The EVMWD service area is located in an area of
high seismic hazard from the Elsinore, San Andreas,
and San Jacinto fault zones, EVMWD facilities are
vulnerable to strong ground shaking, liquefaction,
and fault rupture hazards. The active Elsinore fault
cuts through EVMWD’s system resulting in fault
crossings of 38 backbone water pipelines and 45
key wastewater pipelines. Fault rupture potential,
recurrence interval, and identification of major
fault segments resulted in the development of
block-by-block maps of pipeline fault rupture and
liquefaction hazard. Seismic vulnerability of water and wastewater system pipelines was performed to
assess the number of leaks and breaks in a major earthquake. The repair rates were used to develop
recovery time estimates. Recommendations including pipeline replacement, and additional studies and
planning level budget estimates were developed.

engineering study for the City of
Sunnyvale’s water system. The
system includes nine steel tanks, six
booster pump stations, seven
groundwater wells, and
approximately 320 miles of water
transmission and distribution
mains. Sunnyvale is located in a
region of high seismic hazard and
regional mapping suggests that
most of the city is susceptible to liquefaction and lateral spreading hazards. As part of this study, a
geotechnical database consisting of nearly 500 unique boreholes and over 4,000 samples containing
pertinent soil information such as soil classification, density, and laboratory test results was developed.
In addition, a groundwater model and 3D geology model were developed to conduct regional-scale
liquefaction analyses.

A condition assessment of the water system components was
performed based on site reconaissance, review of record
drawings, and pipeline leak data. During the site reconaissance,
InfraTerra engineers also collected structural data for seismic
evaluation. Seismic assessment of the tanks were completed
using the American Water Works Associated (AWWA) D100-21
standard. For the pump stations and wells, the seismic
structural assessment followed the ASCE 41-17 standard.
InfraTerra compelted pipeline analyses following methodology
by the American Lifelines Alliance (ALA), modified by recent
work by O. Rourke (2020). The time required to complete
repair and restore the pipeline system were estimated using a detailed process simulation approach. A
pipeline risk matrix which considered seismic vulnerability and consequence of failure was developed to
identify the pipelines with the highest seismic risk. A prioritized list of mitigation projects with Class 5
cost estimates, to be implemented over the next five, ten, twenty years, and beyond was developed for
incorporation into the present and future capital improvement plan. The mitigation projects directly
used the results of the risk ranking system developed for the City’s water system.

Client: CalWater Contact: Theodore D. Coughlin, PE; (408) 367-8391; TCoughlin@calwater.com
Seismic assessment of 18 elevated water tanks for California
Water Services Company (CalWater) was performed. The
tanks are more than 100 feet tall and range in capacity from
25,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons. Some of the tanks are
close to 100 years old and located in CalWater’s Stockton,
Chico, Visalia, Marysville, Bakersfield, Hawthorne, Willows
and Dixon Districts.
Seismic assessment of the water towers included an
assessment of liquefaction, landslides, erosion, sensitive
soils, subsidence fault rupture and strong ground shaking.
Site specific ground motions were developed for each site.
Site visits to each water tower site were performed to
observe the as-built conditions of the tower and to observe
obvious signs of structural distress and general conformance
with the available design drawings. For the water towers
that did not have any structural drawings, overall configuration of the structure and field measurements
of easily accessible structural elements were obtained for the assessment. Using this information,
dynamic analysis of each tower was performed using finite element analysis in SAP2000 software. The
AWWA D-100 standard with site-specific ground motions was used to identify seismic vulnerabilities for
each tower. Conceptual seismic retrofits were developed and evaluated using the finite element model.
Estimates of total steel volume were prepared for planning level cost estimates. CalWater submitted the
evaluation reports to the California Public Utilities Committee.

Client: San Diego County Water Agency (SDCWA) Contact: Jim Zhou, PE; (858) 342-4232; jzhou@sdcwa.org
InfraTerra completed a seismic resiliency study of SDCWA’s
water transmission system. The system has over 250 miles
(diameters of 48 – 120 in) of reinforced concrete, welded
steel, PCCP, and bar-wrapped concrete cylinder
construction. The pipelines, dissected by numerous rivers,
have a high liquefaction hazard with locally steep canyons
resulting in landslide hazards. The system is impacted by the
San Andreas, San Jacinto, Rose Canyon, and Elsinore Fault
Zones (EFZ), with pipelines cutting across EFZ.
Based on the review of existing geotechnical and regional
mapping data and field reconnaissance, 46 critical locations
with a high risk of earthquake-induced hazard were
identified. Geotechnical borings and cone penetrometer
tests (CPT) were performed at 14 sites with liquefaction
analyses at each of the 46 locations. The pipelines were
evaluated using nonlinear finite element analysis. Monte
Carlo and process simulation techniques were used to
develop restoration time estimates. Pipeline vulnerability
and consequences of failure at each pipeline river or fault
crossing with associated liquefaction or fault rupture hazard
were evaluated by using a weighted average of rankings
assigned to various contributors to the vulnerability and
consequences of failure. InfraTerra worked closely with SDCWA engineers and operators to fully
understand the complex water system and consequence of failure at each location to logically rank the
risk of each crossing.
Pre-earthquake mitigation measures and post-earthquake repair techniques were evaluated and
included in recommendations with consideration to risk rankings. Class 5 construction cost estimates
were developed by considering material pricing, labor costs, equipment, and contractor's markup.

InfraTerra was the prime consultant for a
seismic reliability project for the City of Forest
Grove (CFG) water transmission and
distribution system. The seismic reliability
study was performed to meet the
requirements of the Oregon Resilience Plan
(ORP). Project features included the intake
facilities within the watershed, the raw water
transmission line, finished water transmission
and distribution system, flow control and
metering station, raw and finished water pump
stations, water treatment plant facilities, the 1
MG partially buried reinforced concrete David Hill Reservoir and the 5MG buried reinforced concrete
reservoir at the water treatment plant site.
The seismic reliability study included defining the system backbone and mapping of earthquake hazards
including liquefaction, landslides and lateral spreading. Maps of permanent ground deformation (PGD)
from liquefaction, lateral spreading, and landslides were developed and used to evaluate pipeline
performance. A site walkthrough of the water system facilities was conducted to evaluate the current
conditions of the facilities and identify vulnerabilities. Seismic slopes stability analyses and a structural
assessment following the guidelines of ACI 319-14 and ACI 350-06 were conducted for the storage
reservoirs. Planning level cost estimates for mitigation and recommendations for long-term capital

that is capable of generating a Magnitude 9.0 earthquake.
The Eastside Reservoir had sustained minor to moderate
damage in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake. Seismic
assessment of the reservoirs was performed using multiple
analytical techniques ranging from simplified hand
calculations to complex nonlinear soil-structure interaction
(SSI) analysis. Limited geotechnical investigations
consisting of geophysical surveys and geotechnical borings
at the two reservoirs were performed to obtain properties
for the soil material model for the analysis. Non-
destructive testing of the concrete was also performed to
estimate concrete strength. The reservoirs were evaluated
for eight different levels of earthquake shaking that
included a M9 earthquake on the Cascadia subduction
zone (CSZ), M7 earthquake on CSZ slab (similar to the 2001
Nisqually earthquake), M7 earthquake on the Seattle fault,
and probabilistic estimates of earthquake shaking with 72-,
100-, 475-, 975-, and 2,475-year return periods. Seismic
retrofit options and planning level cost estimates were developed for different earthquake levels.
Assessments were also performed to evaluate operational fixes such as reduction in water level or
removal of soil cover to different depths for the Eastside reservoir. In addition to the seismic
assessment, an audit of health and safety, and electrical and mechanical systems was performed.

exploration points including: large-diameter bucket auger borings, small-diameter continuous soil cores, CPT soundings, radiocarbon and soil
stratigraphic age dates, and deep seismic reflection. Overlapping large-diameter borings were used in lieu of fault trenches due to the presence
of existing buildings and underground utilities, and the thickness of Holocene soils, which extend approximately 25 feet below existing grades.
Results of the investigation were used to establish a fault setback zone. Findings from the trench investigation were accepted by the City’s geologic
peer reviewer.
Fault Trench Investigation, North Highlands Development Area , Big Sky, MT. (2021-2024)
Senior Project Geologist — Served as Project Manager and Lead Geologist for a fault rupture hazard investigation for a single-family residential
development planned in an undeveloped alpine environment. Used LiDAR data to identify a broad zone of non-tectonic extensional faults in the
break-away zone of a deep-seated, translational bedrock landslide complex. These features had not been identified during the original
geotechnical investigation, and were not shown on published geohazards maps issued by the State. The subsequent field investigation included
detailed logging of ten trenches and tectonic geomorphic mapping. The trenches exposed numerous extensional shear zones that deform surficial
deposits and terminate within the topsoil. Results from the study included a structural setback map that delineated safe buildable areas.

Senior Geologist — Performed detailed core logging, coordination of field personnel, data compilation, analysis, and reporting in support of
engineering design for the Purple Line Section 2 tunnel crossing of the Santa Monica fault. Eighteen continuous core holes were drilled to depths
of up to 350 feet along Wilshire Boulevard using HQ wireline techniques. Data from the investigation were used to characterize the location,
width, geometry, and fault activity at the depths of the proposed tunnel-fault crossing. Results from the geologic analysis allowed the design team
to reduce the length of special lining needed to mitigate future displacement events on the Santa Monica fault.
Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis, Anchor Field Development, Gulf of Mexico, Offshore LA. (2018-2019)
Senior Geologist — To support pre-FEED and final engineering design of suction caisson arrays and petroleum drill centers, which will be located
in approximately 5,000 feet of water, performed a quantitative characterization of salt-related faults (salt tectonics) and developed logic trees for
probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA). Provided guidance to the Client and project team on fault selection, horizon mapping
and age dating, and technical approach and scope-of-work development for future work.
Joint Water Pollution Control Plant Effluent Outfall Tunnel, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA. (2014-2016)
Senior Project Geologist — Performed detailed analysis and characterization of the Palos Verdes fault zone where it will be crossed by a proposed
20-foot-diameter treated wastewater tunnel. Interpreted project-acquired, high-resolution 2D seismic reflection data, which were synthesized
with pre-development topographic maps, stereo aerial photos, surface bedrock mapping, geotechnical borings, and historical oil and gas well
records to characterize the location, width and kinematics of the fault zone where it undergoes a restraining bend. Results from the analysis were
used to reduce uncertainty in the number and location of active fault strands crossed by the tunnel, and allowed the design team to focus the
tunnel support elements on the critical fault crossings. The fault characterization was used as input into probabilistic fault displacement hazard
analysis (PFDHA).
Integrated Geologic Mapping and Geophysical Interpretation, Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, San Luis Obispo County, CA. (2011-2014)
Project Geologist — To reduce uncertainty in the seismic source model and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) used for the power plant
relicensing effort, performed detailed, field-based geologic mapping of deformed Neogene bedrock along geophysical data acquisition corridors;
and subsequent interpretation of onshore 2D and 3D seismic reflection, tomography/velocity, gravity, and helicopter-magnetics. The geophysical
data were integrated with the surface geologic mapping to develop restorable geologic cross sections and to characterize fault locations,
geometries, and kinematics to depths of 10 kilometers. All activities were performed under a rigorous nuclear Quality Assurance work plan.
Iron Wash Fault Mapping, Proposed Nuclear Power Plant, Green River, UT. (2012)
Senior Staff Geologist — In support of a siting study for a proposed new nuclear power plant, performed geologic mapping and characterization
of the Iron Wash fault zone, which is located within a 25-mile radius circle of the site. A result of this investigation was that we were able to
demonstrate evidence for the absence of Quaternary activity on the Iron Wash fault. All field and desktop-based activities were performed under
a Quality Assurance work plan.
Serra Fault Zone Pipeline Crossing , San Mateo County, CA. (2010)
Senior Staff Geologist — Detailed geologic and tectonic geomorphic mapping along a treated freshwater pipeline corridor where it crosses
Holocene-active traces of the Serra fault zone. Logged continuous vertical and angled rock borings, constructed geologic cross sections, created

Notable seismic hazard projects include probabilistic site response modeling along a
44-mile-long buried water facility in the Sacramento River Delta in California and the
University of Washington’s M9 project, which required seismic hazard analyses for a
possible Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake at hundreds of locations across the
Pacific Northwest. With engineers at the USGS, Dr. Greenfield recently developed a
method to evaluate alternative intensity measures for selecting and scaling ground
motions that may be more appropriate for liquefaction deformations.
Dr. Greenfield has recently completed several notable geohazard and resiliency
projects in the Portland metropolitan region with members of the project team,
including the Portland Water Bureau’s Seismic Hazard Study and the City of Forest
Grove’s Water System Seismic Resiliency Plan, and the City of Hillsboro Upper System
Water improvements.
Liquefaction and earthquake mitigation design. Dr. Greenfield is a nationally known
expert in the effects of liquefaction, including ground motion amplification,
settlement, lateral spreading deformation, and structural loading. His professional
practice is focused on analyzing liquefaction hazards and designing mitigation
measures to reduce ground deformation following earthquakes to tolerable levels. Dr.
Greenfield recently developed a liquefaction hazard deformation analysis tool for
Pacific Gas and Electric to evaluate liquefaction hazards and deformations for their
entire service area near San Francisco. He was awarded a NEHRP grant in 2021 to
investigate the liquefaction hazard of the levees surrounding the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta of California. Dr. Greenfield has also managed field investigation and
seismic hazard analyses for the Bonneville Power Administration’s River Crossing
Seismic Hazard Analysis, which included deformation analyses of the 500 kV
transmission lines crossing the Willamette and Columbia Rivers.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:May 20, 2025
From:Freddie Agyin, Director of Health and Environmental Control
Department:Health and Environmental Control
Submitted by:Dulce Gonzalez, Management Analyst
Subject
Professional Services Agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (Raftelis) for Solid
Waste Management Consulting Services
Recommendation
A. Find that it is commercially unreasonable to rebid the proposed contract within three years,
pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.110 (B)(3); and
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Professional Services Agreement
with Raftelis, in substantially the same form as submitted, for solid waste management consulting
services for an amount not-to-exceed $205,000 over a five-year term.
Background
The Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) recognizes that an effective solid
waste management system is essential for safeguarding public health, safety, and the
environment in the City. Currently, the City utilizes a non-exclusive franchise system, with 16
permitted haulers providing waste collection services to residential and commercial customers.
Although this system has served the community well for many years, DHEC has identified the
need for a comprehensive evaluation to assess its ongoing effectiveness and identify potential
improvements. This evaluation will examine system performance, explore alternative models,
and recommend a strategy aligned with the City’s long-term operational and environmental goals.
In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.080, the DHEC issued a Request
for Proposals (RFP) for Solid Waste Management Consulting Services on March 10, 2025. In
response to the RFP, the City received five proposals from qualified firms, which were evaluated
based on their experience, cost, references, and responsiveness. After careful review, Raftelis
was selected as the most qualified firm based on the collective ratings of the evaluators.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 49520 et seq., the City issued a five-year notice to
its franchisees on January 1, 2025, regarding the transition to an exclusive franchise system for
solid waste management services. This notice fulfills the statutory requirement to inform
franchisees about the shift from the current non-exclusive system to a future exclusive model,
scheduled to take effect after the five-year notice period. Given the project's complexity, including
the need to assess system performance, explore alternatives, and develop an implementation
strategy, the City needs to have expert guidance throughout the evaluation and transition
process. Therefore, executing this contract with Raftelis is critical to ensure necessary
improvements are identified and implemented before the five-year notice period expires.
Pursuant to VMC Sections 3.32.220(B) and 3.32.110(B)(3), rebidding the contract within the next
three years would be commercially unreasonable due to the specialized nature of the required
services and the need for continuity during the evaluation and implementation phases.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Services Agreement with Raftelis for Solid
Waste Management Consultant Services in the amount not to exceed $205,000 for a five-year .
.
Item 13 Page 1 of 2
period. Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030(A), City Council Approval is required for the proposed
agreement, as the value of the contract exceeds $100,000.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s
Office.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $205,000. Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund,
Health Department, Technical Professional Services Account No. 011-020-200-529225 for the
current fiscal year and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.

10.10 Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and
material breach. In such event, Contractor shall immediately notify City and cease all

rights for premiums, attorney's fees, and costs against Contractor by way of set-off or
recoupment from sums due to Contractor, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this
Agreement and seek damages from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure

Dulce Gonzalez
Management Analyst
City of Vernon
4305 S. Santa Fe Avenue
Vernon, CA 90058
Subject: Proposal for Solid Waste Management Consulting Services
Dear Dulce Gonzalez:
Raftelis is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the City of Vernon’s
Request for Proposals for Solid Waste Management Consulting Services. We
appreciate the opportunity to support the City in evaluating its current non-
exclusive franchise system and developing a forward-thinking model that
improves operational efficiency, enhances service accountability, and aligns with
Vernon’s regulatory and sustainability goals.
We understand the importance of this work and the complexity of Vernon’s
current system. With 16 permitted haulers serving a predominantly industrial
customer base, the City requires a partner that understands how to balance
business needs, service performance, environmental compliance, and policy
development. Raftelis has successfully led similar initiatives across California and
the U.S.—evaluating collection systems, designing franchise models, facilitating
stakeholder and Council engagement, and supporting implementation through
competitive procurement and transition management.
Our proposal outlines a clear, phased approach built around your goals and
timeline. We are confident in our ability to deliver each task—on time and within
budget—while providing the technical, legal, and engagement expertise needed to
ensure project success. We are excited about the opportunity to work with Vernon
and contribute to building a more transparent, effective, and future-ready solid
waste program.

INTRODUCTION
The Raftelis Advantage: Experience That
Works for Vernon
Vernon isn’t a typical city —and this isn’t a typical project.
With a heavy industrial base, complex hauler ecosystem, and ambitious goals for accountability
and environmental compliance, the City of Vernon needs more than a consultant. You need a
partner who can guide you from strategic evaluation through long-term implementation—
while building consensus and delivering results every step of the way.
At Raftelis, we bring that level of partnership. Backed by more than 190 experts and a track
record of success with over 700 agencies just last year, we offer unmatched depth in solid waste
planning, franchise structuring, financial modeling, stakeholder engagement, and program
execution. Here’s what sets Raftelis apar:
Strategic Leadership in Franchise Reform
We’ve helped dozens of communities transform complex hauler systems into efficient,
accountable programs. Raftelis brings extensive experience evaluating and redesigning non-
exclusive and hybrid franchise models, particularly in business-dense and industrial
communities. We understand how to analyze current capacity, improve competitiveness, and
balance flexibility with oversight. Whether Vernon maintains, modifies, or consolidates its
system, we’ll help you build a model that’s cost-effective, enforceable, and future-ready.
Built for Projects with Depth and Longevity
Multi-year, multi-phase projects require serious horsepower. We’re built for it. With the largest
utility- and local government-focused consulting team in the nation, Raftelis can dedicate
specialized experts to each phase of Vernon’s project—from technical assessment and legal
coordination to stakeholder outreach and contract implementation. You’ll never be short on
capacity, and you’ll always have the right people in the room.
Defensible, Data-Driven Recommendations
When it’s time to justify changes to Council or the business community, you’ll be ready. Our
recommendations are backed by robust data, environmental impact modeling, rate
benchmarking, and legal defensibility. We’re not just industry-informed—we’re industry-
shaping. Raftelis staff serve in leadership roles with SWANA, co-author utility finance best
practices, and are recognized nationally for our solid waste policy work. And as a registered
Municipal Advisor, we’re fully qualified to provide financial recommendations that comply with
federal regulations and stand up to public scrutiny.

RAFTELIS 4
California-Specific Knowledge, Industrial City Experience
We understand Vernon’s reality—and your regulatory landscape. From SB 1383 compliance
and edible food recovery mandates to commercial generator -focused rate systems, we’ve helped
cities across California build solid waste programs that work for businesses, meet CalRecycle
standards, and minimize risk. We’re fluent in California law and have hands-on experience
working with legal teams, haulers, and businesses to draft enforceable, effective franchise
agreements that align with local priorities.
Engagement That Builds Buy-In from Business
Outreach isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a strategy. With 1,800+ businesses operating in Vernon,
many of them high-volume generators, effective engagement requires more than a public
meeting. Raftelis designs targeted, stakeholder-specific engagement strategies that elevate the
right voices, gather meaningful feedback, and translate community input into actionable insights.
We help you build momentum, secure support, and get to “yes” faster—with fewer surprises.
Tools Designed for Decision-Making and Accountability
You’ll walk away with more than a report. You’ll have tools you can use. We develop financial
models, cost allocation tools, and transition tracking dashboards that your team can use to
monitor performance, compare service models, and prepare for Council presentations. From
Microsoft Excel to web-based platforms, our tools are built to be transparent, replicable, and
accessible long after we’re gone. We’ll even help design key performance indicators and
compliance reporting systems tailored to your new franchise framework.
From Strategy to Execution: We Stay With You
Planning is only the beginning. Implementation is where it counts. Raftelis will support Vernon
through every stage of transition—helping draft the RFP and franchise agreement, facilitating
proposer interviews, negotiating contracts, and guiding the hauler onboarding process. We’ve
done this in cities with multiple legacy haulers, conflicting stakeholder interests, and complex
legal environments. We know what can go wrong—and how to make it go right.
Why Choose Raftelis?
You need a partner who understands how to:
• Navigate the realities of an industrial-focused, non-exclusive hauler environment
• Align environmental, financial, and service-level goals
• Communicate clearly with businesses, staff, and elected officials
• Translate analysis into adoptable policies and enforceable contracts
• Support long-term implementation—not just short-term studies

Project Understanding
The City of Vernon is taking a proactive and strategic step toward improving the efficiency,
accountability, and sustainability of its solid waste management system. Raftelis is excited for
the opportunity to serve as your partner through this effort—not just as consultants, but as trusted
advisors equipped to help you navigate complex challenges, make informed decisions, and
implement a system that works for Vernon today and well into the future.
We understand that Vernon’s non-exclusive franchise model—with 16 permitted haulers and a
heavily industrial customer base—requires a detailed evaluation to assess operational
effectiveness, cost equity, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. Th e City is seeking
expert support to not only review current conditions but to recommend a viable path forward,
design the appropriate procurement structure, secure stakeholder and Council alignment, and
ultimately oversee a successful implementation of the selected model.
Raftelis brings the full range of experience and expertise required to deliver these outcomes. Our
phased, task-based approach includes hauler interviews and data collection, benchmarking,
financial and environmental modeling, stakeholder engagement, policy development, franchise
agreement drafting, RFP support, and hands-on implementation assistance. Each step will be
guided by clear milestones, rigorous quality control, and regular communication with City staff.
With more than 190 consultants—many of whom are solid waste, finance, and engagement
specialists—we have the resources to deliver high-quality results on time and within your
identified budget. Our goal is not only to meet your expectations, but to help Vernon build a
system that reflects your values, strengthens community trust, and delivers long-term value.
GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
General Scope of Work
In brief summary, Raftelis understands the scope of work for each proposed Service Area as
follows:
Task 1 - Evaluation of Current Non-Exclusive Franchise System (May 1, 2025 - August 31,
2025): We will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the City’s existing non-exclusive
franchise system, examining hauler performance, customer satisfaction, rate structures, service
quality, and regulatory compliance. This will include data collection from permitted haulers,
customer surveys, and benchmarking against peer agencies to identify opportunities for
improvement and inform future system design.
Task 2 - Report Development and Recommendations (September 1, 2025 - December 31,
2025): Using insights from the evaluation, we will develop a detailed report presenting solid
waste service model options (e.g., exclusive, tiered, or enhanced non-exclusive). Each option
will include financial, operational, and environmental impact analysis. We will recommend a
preferred model tailored to Vernon’s needs, supported by a phased implementation roadmap.

Task 3 - Stakeholder Engagement (January 1, 2026 - March 31, 2026): We will design and
facilitate a targeted stakeholder engagement process to validate the recommended model, solicit
input from businesses and community members, and build support for implementation. Feedback
gathered through public meetings, surveys, and interviews will be used to refine the proposed
approach.
Task 4 - City Council Report (April 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026): Raftelis will prepare and deliver
a comprehensive presentation of findings and recommendations to the City Council, ensuring
elected officials understand the service model options, stakeholder feedback, and financial and
operational implications. We will also support City staff with communication materials and
presentation briefings.
Task 5 - RFP Development and Publication (January 1, 2027 - March 31, 2027): Based on the

WORK PLAN
Work Plan
Our work plan is intentionally structured to function as a strategic, sequential roadmap—
moving the City of Vernon from system evaluation to successful implementation with clarity,
efficiency, and momentum. Each task is purposefully designed to build on the outcomes of the
previous phase, ensuring a seamless flow of insights, decisions, and deliverables.
The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of Vernon’s current system (Task 1),
which provides the data foundation and operational understanding needed to shape informed,
customized recommendations (Task 2). These recommendations serve as the framework for
meaningful stakeholder engagement (Task 3), ensuring that community input is reflected in
the final strategy. Once refined, the recommended path is presented to City Council for review
and adoption (Task 4), providing policy direction and approval to proceed.

Item 13 Page 23 of 70
RAFTELIS 7
With Council’s guidance in place, we move into the procurement and implementation phase:
Task 5 transforms policy into enforceable contract documents, while Task 6 manages the
competitive selection process to identify the best partners. Finally, Task 7 puts the plan into
action—guiding the transition to the new system, tracking performance, and ensuring a smooth
rollout for the City, haulers, and customers alike.
This phased and interdependent approach ensures that every phase informs and strengthens
the next, eliminating redundancies, reducing risk, and maintaining alignment with the City’s
goals throughout the project. By design, this structure delivers not only high-quality outcomes,
but also confidence in every step of the process.

/ P: 615.862.4782 / E: amanda.deaton-moyer@nashville.gov / Key Personnel Involved: Scott
Parker (Lead), Harold Mitchell (Support). The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and
Davidson County engaged Raftelis to evaluate the structure, capacity, and strategic direction of
its solid waste services, with the goal of establishing a stand-alone Solid Waste Department.
Historically housed within Public Works and later Metro Water Services, Waste Services needed
a governance structure aligned with the City's ambitious Zero Waste Master Plan adopted in
2021. Raftelis conducted a comprehensive organizational assessment focused on aligning
staffing, funding, and operational frameworks with Nashville’s zero waste goals. We delivered
two key outputs: (1) A memo to City Council recommending the creation of a new Director of
Solid Waste position; and (2) A strategic report outlining a future-ready organizational structure,
cost-of-service financial model updates, and prioritized actions for department launch and early
success. Additionally, Raftelis supported Metro Water Services in designing and analyzing two
large-scale customer satisfaction surveys, each with over 5,000 responses. The surveys provided
valuable insights into public perceptions, helping MWS evaluate the effectiveness of recent
service changes and reinforcing their commitment to continuous improvement and public
transparency.
City of Memphis TN
Reference: Philip Davis, PG, Solid Waste Director / P: 901.636.6872 / E:
philip.davis@memphistn.gov / Key Personnel Involved: Harold Mitchell (Support). For nearly
a decade, Raftelis has served as a trusted advisor to the City of Memphis Solid Waste Division,
supporting over 200,000 service points across garbage, recycling, and bulk waste collection. Our
partnership began with an evaluation of bulk waste service delivery options, leading to the
development of a comprehensive multi-year rate plan that included cost benchmarking,
operational revenue analysis, and full cost recovery modeling. Raftelis created a dynamic
financial model incorporating baseline cost updates and scenario planning, enabling Memphis to
make informed decisions about service levels and long-term sustainability. As customer
demands, costs, and Council priorities have evolved, Raftelis has continued to support the
Division in addressing funding challenges—most recently assisting with a new rate strategy to
replenish depleted reserves in the solid waste enterprise fund. Beyond rate-setting, Raftelis
provides monthly budget tracking, financial analysis, and support for the Division’s annual
budget process, including redline/blackline reviews. We also advise on enhanced service
delivery strategies, particularly around bulk waste collection and city beautification. This
enduring relationship demonstrates Raftelis’ commitment to advancing Memphis’ operational
excellence, financial resilience, and community responsiveness.

IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING AND SYSTEM TRANSITION SUPPORT
Relevant to: Task 7 – Implementation of New Solid Waste Management System
Raftelis goes beyond planning—we guide our clients through seamless transitions from concept
to execution. Whether launching a new franchise agreement, transitioning to in-house services,
or rolling out new customer billing systems, we provide comprehensive support that includes
vendor onboarding, operational logistics, staff training, customer communications, and post -
launch troubleshooting. Our experience ensures that new systems are implemented on time,
within budget, and with minimal disruption.
Montgomery County Environmental Services OH
Raftelis partnered with Montgomery County to modernize its solid waste billing system, leading
the design and implementation of the Montgomery County Annual Property Charge (MCAPC).
This parcel-based solution connects hauler-reported service volumes directly to property billing,
improving accuracy and efficiency. Raftelis oversaw the full 2023 launch—including system
integration, stakeholder outreach, and customer support—and continues to provide frontline
service. With only 150 inquiries after rollout, the transition was smooth and well-received. We
also resolved business billing issues and staffed a support center for three months post -launch.
The project highlights our ability to deliver complex operational changes with precision,
responsiveness, and long-term impact.

Madera County (CA): Solid Waste Management Study Stakeholder Engagement and
Communications
Matt served as lead strategist and facilitator for this solid waste management study in 2023.
There were significant challenges, as a highly vocal and organized group in the east part of
Madera County had sued the government about past solid waste management practices. Using
stakeholder engagement techniques, Matt and the team at Raftelis brought all stakeholders to the
table for discussions on what the best solution would be for them – providing value for the
dollar, while also conforming to new more stringent state regulations. The study also benefitted
from strong key messaging and use of myriad county-owned publications and earned media
coverage. In the end, Raftelis was able to show where input from stakeholders greatly influenced
the recommendations of the study, which was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors.

management and utility space, including multiple Computer Maintenance Management System
(CMMS) platforms; ESRI Geospatial Products; Autodesk GeoBIM; Innovyze hydraulic
modeling and asset management software; and various Closed Circuit Television technologies
utilized for Sanitary and Stormwater Assessments which utilize NASSCO Pipeline Assessment
Certification Program (PACP) standards. In Kansas City, he developed t he organization’s first
data management strategic plan as well as its Business Case Evaluation criteria for information
technology purchases, which led to both optimization of existing systems and reductions in the
cost for new tools utilized in the department.
Scott has developed business risk exposure (Consequence and Likelihood of Failure) models
utilized for investment decisions across multiple asset classes, including streets, water, sewer,
and stormwater. In Kansas City, he helped reconceptualize and reformulate the criteria for the
utility’s Annual Sewer Rehabilitation and Water Main Replacement Programs (total value
$65m/year) to a truly risk-based model from a break and fix model. He also led multiple cross-
functional teams in the development of software applications and dashboards, including one that
integrated as-built project information from city staff, consultants, and contractors working on
the Consent Decree (40+ projects; 80+ discrete users; 35,000 work orders; projects valued over
$100 million) at no extra cost to the utility.
Scott has led the development of multi-billion-dollar capital improvement plans in communities
throughout the country as both an employee and consultant. He has extensive experience with all
elements of utility capital planning, financing, and project delivery, particularly all fiduciary
components related to enterprise funds (Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Solid Waste); rate

A. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Water Rights License and

Agreement with the City of Compton, in substantially the same form as submitted, for a lease of
1,500 acre-feet per year of the City’s Allowed Pumping Allocation for Fiscal Year 2025-26, Fiscal
Year 2026-27, and Fiscal Year 2027-28, for a total revenue amount of $720,000; and
C. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Water Rights License and
Agreement with South Montebello Irrigation District, in substantially the same form as submitted,
for a lease of 500 acre-feet per year of the City’s Allowed Pumping Allocation for Fiscal Year
2026-27 and Fiscal Year 2027-28, for a total revenue amount of $130,000.
Background
The City of Vernon is situated above the Central Basin and is a participant in the Judgment issued
on October 11, 1965, in Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No. 786656, titled “Central
and West Basin Water Replenishment District v. Charles E. Adams, et al.” As a participant in this
Judgment, the City has been granted an annual Allowed Pumping Allocation (APA) of 7,539 acre-
feet, with these water rights being held in perpetuity.
The Judgment has undergone three amendments to date. The third amendment, enacted in
2013, introduced provisions for water storage and carryover. The revised Judgment appointed
the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) as the Watermaster, responsible
for managing and enforcing the Judgment’s terms. The carryover provisions allow the parties
involved to transfer a portion of their unused water rights into the subsequent Fiscal Year (FY).
Furthermore, it is common practice for parties to lease, buy, sell, and trade any unused water
rights.
On July 31, 2019, Assembly Bill 756 (AB756) received approval from the Governor. This
legislation empowered the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) to
mandate public water systems to monitor for perfloroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS), identified as emerging contaminants. In response, the State Water Board issued a series
of monitoring directives to public water systems. Consequently, many water systems in the region
had to take wells offline until appropriate treatment solutions could be implemented. This situation
resulted in an increase in imported water purchases and a decrease in the amount of water
extracted from the basin. Additionally, the PFAS concerns complicated the leasing of water rights.
Due to the effects of PFAS and the loss of Farmer John, which accounted for twenty percent of
.

Item 14 Page 1 of 2
the total water demand, the Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) carryover account has reached its
maximum capacity of 4,523 acre-feet. Currently, VPU’s water demand stands at approximately
4,700 acre-feet, which is 2,839 acre-feet below VPU’s annual APA. As a result, staff expects a
continuous balance to accumulate in the carryover account. To address the potential revenue
loss from unused rights, staff recommends approval of the following water rights leases:
Fiscal Year 2024-25:
- 2,000 acre-feet to Liberty Utilities Corporation at $100 per acre-foot, for a total revenue amount
of $200,000.
Fiscal Year 2025-26:
- 1,500 acre-feet to the City of Compton at $160 per acre-foot, for a total revenue amount of
$240,000.
- 1,000 acre-feet to Liberty Utilities Corporation at $130 per acre-foot, for a total revenue amount
of $130,000.
Fiscal Year 2026-27:
- 1,500 acre-feet to the City of Compton at $160 per acre-foot, for a total revenue amount of
$240,000.
- 500 acre-feet to South Montebello Irrigation District at $130 per acre-foot, for a total revenue
amount of $65,000.
- 1,000 acre-feet to Liberty Utilities Corporation at $130 per acre-foot, for a total revenue amount
of $130,000.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:May 20, 2025
From:Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works
Department:Public Works
Submitted by:Lissette Melendez, Project Engineer
Subject
Amendment No. 1 to Services Agreement with Architerra Design Group, Contract No. 20240265
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Services
Agreement with Architerra Design Group, in substantially the same form as submitted, for
landscape architectural services provided for a total amount not-to-exceed $65,200 (increasing
the total contract cost to $188,130).
Background
The City of Vernon hosts multiple community events throughout the year in the area in front of
City Hall. As events have gained popularity, attendance has reached as many as 600 people.
Given the increased community participation in such events, the existing space configuration and
landscaping could be improved to better accommodate large public gatherings.
To that end, following a Request for Proposals process, on February 20, 2024, the City Council
awarded a Services Agreement to Architerra Design Group (Architerra) to design, produce
preliminary plans, cost estimates and present a final conceptual design that addresses all of the
City requirements for a welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and functional Civic Plaza.
Architerra worked with a committee of City staff to develop a design that incorporates
hardscape with low maintenance climate-appropriate landscape, an outdoor congregation area
with a stage, lighting and sound systems to better accommodate community events and enhance
the appearance of City Hall.
On March 18, 2025, Architerra presented the final design to City Council. Based on the final
chosen design, this Amendment provides for additional services beyond the original scope of
work.
Staff is requesting authority to enter into Amendment No. 1, which maintains all existing terms
under the current Agreement and increases the not-to-exceed amount by $65,200, bringing the
total contract amount to $188,130. Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.030(A), City
Council approval is required for the proposed amendment as the total value of the contract
exceeds $100,000.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $65,200. Sufficient funds are available in General Fund, Public
Works Department, Facilities Maintenance, Capital Outlays Account No. 011-040-415-660000
for the current fiscal year.
