STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Robert Hargreaves, City Attorney
REQUEST: MAKE FINDINGS TO SUPPORT THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES IN A GOVERNOR-DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY
AND THAT THE CITY MAY CONTINUE TO EMPLOY REMOTE
TELECONFERENCING
RECOMMENDATION:
Make findings that the State of California continues in a Governor-declared state of emergency to
combat the COVID epidemic, that state and local health officials are recommending social
distancing, and consequently that the City Council and its other Brown-Act bodies may continue to
employ remote teleconferencing under Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
AB 361 (Government Code Section 54953(e)) provides that a local agency may employ remote
teleconferencing upon a finding by the governing board that certain circumstances exist, among
those that there is a Governor-declared emergency and state or local officials are recommending
social distancing. The City Council will need to make those findings each month in which it continues
to implement remote teleconferencing.
The alternative is to revert to the preexisting Brown Act standards for teleconferencing which require
that: (1) all teleconferencing locations be identified on the agenda; (2) agendas be posted at all
teleconferencing locations; (3) all teleconferencing locations be open to the public; and (4) a majority
of the City Council participate from locations within the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item.

League of California Cities Annual Conference & Expo – September 7-9, 2022
Cal Cities 2022 Annual Conference & Expo is scheduled for September 7-9, 2022 in Long

of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that
capacity.
Please complete the attached Voting Delegate form and return it to Cal Cities office

•Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting
delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council.
When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a
copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken, or have your

and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be
accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
•Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire
conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration will open
by June 1 on the Cal Cities website. In order to cast a vote, at least one voter
must be present at the Business Meeting and in possession of the voting delegate
card. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference
badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the Voting

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A RECORDS
MANAGEMENT POLICY
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution adopting a Records Management Policy.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 29, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-76, which updated the City of
Palm Desert’s (City) Records Retention Schedule and criteria for destroying records that were no
longer needed. However, a records retention schedule is only one component of a comprehensive
Records Management Program. A Records Management Policy has been prepared for the City
Council’s consideration that establishes record-keeping authority, assigns responsibilities for
carrying out the Records Management Program, and creates the administrative framework
through which the purposes of the Records Management Program are to be achieved.
Analysis
The City Council has the ultimate responsibility for establishing policies that govern the
retention, production, and management of all City records. As such, the proposed Records
Management Policy provides for efficient, economical, and effective controls over the creation,
distribution, organization, maintenance, use, retention, and disposition of City records.
The City Council’s adoption of the proposed Records Management Policy formally supports
the establishment of a comprehensive Records Management Program by:
•Identifying the ownership and custody of City records;
•Outlining the duties and responsibilities of the City officers and employees as it relates
to the City records;
•Establishing records management standards, policies, and procedures for the
administration of the City records and the Records Retention Schedule;
•Addressing proper electronic mail retention and storage management; and
•Permitting the conversion of hard copy records to electronic records, consistent with the
California Secretary of State’s Local Government Records Management Guidelines.
Item 1F-1
In addition, the proposed policy will enhance business practices in the following areas:
•Conversion to Digital Records: Allowing for the conversion of hard copies to digital
records will enhance the staff’s ability to research and retrieve records. In addition, the
conversion will allow for existing storage areas to be used for a higher purpose and
reduce off-site storage costs.
•Regular Training Program: The third component of a comprehensive Records
Management Program is a regular training program. With the establishment of a policy,
the City Clerk team will begin developing a regular training program to include topics
such as Best Practices in Records Management, Public Records Act 101, and the
Implementation of a Common File Naming Convention.
•Disposition of Obsolete Records: The proposed policy sets the expectation that each
department is responsible for reviewing all records in its custody to determine if the
records have reached the end of their retention period and may be destroyed. The
routine destruction of obsolete records ensures that the city is efficiently managing
records and will reduce the need for off-site storage and continuously expanding data
storage. It should be noted that the final determination on whether to destroy records
will continue to sit with the City Council.
The combination of a Records Management Policy and Records Retention Schedule will
constitute a comprehensive City Records Management Program. The City Clerk’s Office will
facilitate the development and circulation of instructions for the necessary and proper
implementation of the Records Management Program and provide the necessary training for
City officers and employees.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact is associated with this matter.

Date Issued: August 25, 2022
Amended: N/A
Approved by Resolution No. _____
Authored by Office of the City Clerk
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of records management is to ensure that information is available when it is
needed. To do this efficiently and thoroughly, records must be identified, organized,
maintained for the requisite number of years, and then documented when destroyed.
Records management encompasses all the record-keeping requirements that allow an
organization to establish and maintain control over information flow and administrative
operations, seeking to control and manage records through the entirety of their life cycle,
from creation to final disposition.
A sound records management program doesn't cost—it pays. It pays by improving
customer service, increasing staff efficiency, allocating scarce resources, and providing
a legal foundation for how an agency conducts its daily mission. It helps identify and justify
opportunities for new technology. Microfilm, optical disk, optical character recognition,
workflow, e-mail, and other related technologies cannot be adequately evaluated and
cost-justified without a good records management program. Other benefits include:
• Providing public access to and protecting the public's rights to inspect public
records in accordance with the California Public Records Act;
• Preservation of records with long-term or permanent value;
• Protection of records vital to City government in the event of a disaster;
• Protection of records essential to City government, but which are referenced
infrequently;
• Demonstration of compliance with legal retention requirements established by
federal, state, and local authorities;
• Orderly destruction of records no longer required by statute to be retained or
needed for reference;
• Elimination of duplicate records filed in several departments;
• Ensuring proper administration of records not subject to disclosure;
• Providing protection in litigation, audits, and other disputes;
• Saving space; and
• Increased efficiency in information retrieval.
Item 1F-5
A good records management program establishes policies and procedures for the
efficient and economical management of the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention,
preservation, and disposal of City records, based on federal and state statutes governing
public records and ensures that a responsible program of records management is
practiced within the City organization.
II. DEFINITIONS
1. Public Record: Any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the
City’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by the City regardless of
physical form or characteristics.
2. Active Record: Records kept in the office and referenced on a regular basis.
3. Archives: A repository for housing historical records (whether in paper, microfilm,
or digital) that should be protected or preserved.
4. Disposition: The length of time a record is kept, which may be permanent.
5. Historical Record: The retention of records that have enduring value because
they reflect significant historical events or document the history and development
of the City.
6. Inactive Record: Any public record transferred to a records center for storage until
disposition is reached.
7. Non-Record: Materials that are not retained in the normal course of business,
such as records that contain no information of significant or lasting value such as
transmittal letters, acknowledgments, drafts, rough notes, and calculations created
and used in the preparation or analysis of other documents.
8. Records Management: The systematic control of the creation, processing, use,
protection, storage, and final disposition of all public records pursuant to federal,
state, and local laws and regulations.
9. Records Retention Schedule: The document identifying the length of time a
record is maintained, including disposition.
10. Transitory Records: Records whose value is comparatively short-lived should be
discarded when they have fulfilled the purpose for which they were created.
Examples: 1) copies of reproduced/printed material of general information; 2)
originals/copies of documents kept solely for tickler, suspense, or follow-up; 3)
preliminary work materials used for the preparation of reports, studies, etc.; 4)
duplicates/extra copies of records; and 6) appointment logs/calendars.
11. Vital Record: Records with information essential for the resumption of operation
after a disaster or the reestablishment of the legal and financial status of the
organization.
Item 1F-6
III. OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC RECORDS
All public records are the property of the City and shall be delivered by outgoing officials
and employees to their successors. Public records are to be maintained in active file
areas, electronic data management system, or in a designated records center.
IV. RECORD-KEEPING RESPONSIBILITIES
City Council
The policies for the keeping, producing, permitting copies, and management of all public
records of the City shall rest with the City Council.
Officers and Employees
Each officer and employee of the City has the duty to protect, preserve, store, transfer,
destroy or otherwise dispose of, use, and manage public records in accordance with
applicable federal and state regulations, or such rules as may be approved by the City
Council.
City Attorney
The duty of the City Attorney shall be to review and consent to requests to dispose of
records in accordance with the City’s adopted Records Retention Schedule; and to
provide legal guidance to the City Clerk in any review of, and amendment, to the retention
schedule, in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
City Clerk
The City Clerk is designated as the City’s Records Manager and as such is the City’s
official custodian of records.
The City Clerk may, for the proper and efficient management of the public records:
1. Develop and circulate instructions necessary and proper to implement the Records
Management Program.
2. Advise City departments in the preparation of records inventories, retention
periods, records destruction authorization forms, and make recommendations to
the City Attorney.
3. Maintain archives to protect records of historic nature, which should not be
destroyed.
City Department Director
Each City Department Director shall establish and maintain an active, continuing program
for the economical and efficient management of the public records of that department in
accordance with this Policy. Such program shall, among other things, provide for:
1. Effective controls over the creation, maintenance, and use of public records in the
conduct of business.
2. The maintenance and security of records.
3. Segregation and disposal of records of temporary value in accordance with the
established retention schedule and this policy.
Item 1F-7
V. HANDLING DOCUMENTS FROM INCEPTION TO DESTRUCTION
Creating Files
Department personnel is advised to begin new files with an eye to the future disposition
of the file being created. For example, by knowing that the information/materials
contained within a new file will be retained for a specific number of years, it would be
prudent to create the file on a calendar year or perhaps fiscal year basis. Planning ahead
avoids separating files later when it comes time for storage or destruction. Also, reviewing
the department's retention schedule beforehand can avoid the necessity and time-
consuming activity of separating permanent information/documents from short-term
materials prior to the time of destruction.
Converting Hard Copy Paper to Electronic Formats
Government Code Section 34090.5 authorizes the conversion of hard copy materials and
records onto other electronic media if the following conditions are met:
1. The record, paper, or document is photographed, microphotographed, reproduced
by electronically recorded video images, recorded in electronic data management
system (Laserfiche), recorded on an optical disk, or any other medium that is a
trusted system and that does not permit additions, deletions, or changes to the
original document.
2. The device or method used to reproduce the record, paper, or document
reproduces the original in all details and does not permit additions, deletions, or
changes to the original document images.
3. The reproductions are made accessible for public reference as the original records
were.
4. A true copy of the film, optical disk, or any other medium reproductions shall be
kept in a safe and separate place for security purposes.
If the above conditions are met, subject to system verification by the City Clerk, the public
official having custody of the records (Department Director) may convert the hard copy
paper to a permissible electronic format and dispose of the original hard copy.
VI. ELECTRONIC MAIL RETENTION
The City’s email system is intended to be a medium of communication. The email system
is not intended to be and may not be used for the electronic storage or maintenance of
City records. The email system, to function as intended, anticipates and requires that
employees regularly delete communications from the system.
Routine email messages comparable to telephonic communications are non-records.
They are not intended to be retained in the ordinary course of City business, and the
informational content of such communications is neither necessary nor intended to be
preserved for future City-use or reference. For file management and storage purposes,
email messages that are non-records or transitory documents should only be retained for
as long as needed. In most instances, this means deleting messages as soon as you
have read them, and shortly after you have sent them.
Item 1F-8
However, depending on its purpose and record type, some email messages are subject to
longer retention periods based on adopted retention schedules. In this case, email
messages should be stored outside of the email system, either by saving them to the
appropriate network drive and folder; or by printing hard copies of the message and filing
them in an appropriate hard copy file. The email message themselves should then be
deleted.
An email is considered destroyed as soon as it has been deleted from a user’s mailbox,
even though it is temporarily stored in the trash folder before being purged from the email
system. This action is analogous to throwing a paper document into an office trashcan.
External Personal/Business Email Accounts
City officers and employees that receive City-business related emails through
personal/business email accounts shall store and retain such emails in accordance with
this policy and provide responsive records when requested by the City Clerk’s Office
pursuant to a Public Records Act request, Human Resources investigation, or subpoena.
VII. DISASTER PREVENTION AND STORAGE OF INACTIVE RECORDS
To ensure that records are protected from natural and man-made disasters and neglect,
the public official having custody of the records (Department Director) shall be responsible
to ensure that all reasonable efforts are taken to prevent damage to said records. While
temporary on-site storage of inactive records may be appropriate, all efforts should be
taken to avoid storing records near water pipes, air conditioning units, heat sources, direct
sunlight, or directly on the floor. The public official having custody of the records
(Department Director) shall be responsible for preparing an accurate inventory of records
to be transferred to an off-site record center.
If records are damaged, records should be assessed and reasonable recovery
procedures should be performed. Unrecoverable records (such as records damaged with
mold) may be disposed of immediately. Unrecoverable and disposed records shall be
reported to the City Clerk’s Office and a final disposition report shall be distributed to the
City Council for notification purposes.
VIII. DISPOSITION OF PUBLIC RECORDS
At least annually, each Department is responsible for reviewing all records in its custody.
Records that have reached the end of their retention period are to be destroyed pursuant
to the Destruction of Public Records section of this manual. Electronic versions of those
records must also be deleted at the same time.
The City Council, by adopting the Records Retention Schedule, authorizes City
Department Directors to destroy duplicate records less than two years old if the records
are no longer required in accordance with adopted retention schedules.
Item 1F-9
All original records to be destroyed must be inventoried. Requests for the destruction of
original records must receive consent to the destruction by the City Clerk and City
Attorney and approval by the City Council prior to destruction. Original requests for
Authority to Destroy Obsolete Records (Sample 1) shall be filed with the City Clerk’s
Office.
Note: Once authority has been received to destroy records, all forms of that record must
be destroyed (or deleted): paper, microfilm/fiche, electronic format.
This section does not authorize the destruction of the following original records:
1. Records affecting the title to real property or liens.
2. Records required to be kept by statute.
3. Records less than two years old.
4. Minutes, ordinances, or resolutions of the City Council or of a City Board,
Commission, or Committee.
The City has identified that shredding and recycling paper produced from the destruction
of these records is the most appropriate method of disposal. Accordingly, although the
specific method used for destruction shall be at the discretion of the Department Director,
it shall reflect a method of destruction that recycles any paper products and avoids the
use of sanitary landfill sites.
IX. PRESERVATION OF PERMANENT/HISTORICAL RECORDS
A fundamental obligation of the City is to care for records with historical significance. Such
records typically have enduring administrative, fiscal, legal, or historical value, or are
otherwise required to be maintained permanently by statute. Examples include minutes,
resolutions, and ordinances of the City Council and City Boards, Commissions, and
Committees. When a record is being evaluated for final disposition, City staff should take
into consideration the historical relevance of the record. It is encouraged that records that
have been identified as permanent and/or historical be transferred to the designated off-
site records storage facility. When appropriate, permanent records may be converted and
retained in electronic format pursuant to Section 5 of this policy.

CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND

RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. C42020 with CPS-HR to extend the term
through December 1, 2022, for the purpose of finalizing the classification and
compensation study.
2.Authorize the City Manager to execute said amendment and any other documents

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On August 26, 2021, the City Council approved executing a contract with CPS-HR Consulting
to conduct a classification and compensation study. Following approval, CPS-HR Consulting
conducted a classification and compensation study, which encompassed a review of all
positions, employees completing current employee position questionnaires, interviews with
employees and supervisors, analysis of position descriptions, and a comparison of
compensation of the City’s competitors (market basket), conducting presentations for all
employees, and preparing a compensation schedule.
The contract was scheduled to conclude in June 2022, but an extension is needed to finalize the
report and provide tools to maintain the City’s classification and compensation structure. The
final report and tools will consider the City’s internal processes and employee input from data
and information.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact. This expenditure has been budgeted.

PREPARED BY: John Ramont, Deputy Director of Finance
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF BANQUET CHAIRS AND CHAIR
CARTS FROM MITYLITE, INC., FOR DESERT WILLOW, AND SURPLUS
THE EXISTING STOCK OF CHAIRS BEING REPLACED
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the purchase of three hundred (300) banquet chairs and two (2) chair carts from
MityLite, Inc., in the amount of $77,964.51 plus freight surcharges, total not to exceed $85,000,
and surplus of the existing stock of chairs being replaced.
Funds are available in the Desert Willow Capital Fund Account No. 4414195-4809200, Desert
Willow Golf Resort Capital Account (DWGR).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Desert Willow Golf Resort is seeking to replace three hundred banquet chairs and two chair
carts in their event facility. The existing chairs were purchased in 2011 and are in need of
replacement to meet the expectations of venue guests.
The items are requested be purchased under an existing contract under the California Multiple
Award Schedule (CMAS) Contract No. 4-22-07-1020. Municipal Code 3.30.160 (E) provides for
the exception to the formal bid process when an existing contract has already been awarded by
the State of California through a competitive bid process. Therefore, staff recommends approval
of this request.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase of new chairs is included in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list
for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 for the Desert Willow Golf Resort. Funds of $85,000 have been
budgeted for this project; therefore, approval of this purchase has no fiscal impact to the general
fund.

insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage,
limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately

limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Item 1M-9
Contract No. ____________

subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto

Risk Manager reserve the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the

the laws, regulations and policies of this Section.
3.3 Fees and Payments.

notice to Consultant within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice of any disputed fees set forth
therein. Consultant shall submit its final invoice to City within thirty (30) days from the last date
of provided Services or termination of this Agreement and failure by the Consultant to submit a
timely invoice may constitute a waiver of its right to final payment. Payment shall not constitute
acceptance of any Services completed by Consultant. The making of final payment shall not
constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.
3.3.3 Reimbursement for Expenses. Consultant shall not be reimbursed for any
expenses unless authorized in writing by City or included in Exhibit "B" of this Agreement.
3.3.4 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may

wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance"
projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or
"maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant agrees to fully comply
with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Consultant with a copy of the prevailing rates
of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. Consultant shall make
copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker
needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies
at the Consultant's principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties
to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the
Labor Code within this Agreement, and Consultant shall therefore comply with such Labor Code
sections to the fullest extent required by law. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the
City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and representatives, free and harmless
from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing
Wage Laws.
3.4.2 Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed on a
public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition,
installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for
maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and

Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project
and require the same of any subconsultants. This Project may also be subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with
Item 1M-11
Contract No. ____________
all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll
records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against Consultant or any
subconsultant that affect Consultant’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be
Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall
be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant
shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and
representatives free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by
the DIR against Consultant or any subconsultant.
3.4.3 Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, Consultant certifies that it
is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Bertha A Gonzalez, Management Analyst
REQUEST: RATIFY THE CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
TO CONTRACT NO. C40620 WITH PRO-CRAFT CONSTRUCTION IN
THE AMOUNT OF $35,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify the City Manager’s approval of Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. C40620 with Pro-
Craft Construction in the amount of $35,000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 15, 2020, the City Council awarded Contract No. C40620 to Pro-Craft Construction
for On-Call Plumbing Services for Park and Landscape Facilities in the annual amount of
$40,000 for a term of 30 months. The contract expires June 30, 2023, and has an option of three,
one-year extensions.
With the addition of the Aquatic Center and Fire Stations to the Public Works Department and
emergency repairs at City Hall, the annual contract amount does not currently meet the plumbing
needs of the Department. For this reason, staff requested the City Manager’s approval of
Change Order No.1 in the amount of $35,000 to increase the annual amount to $75,000 and
include additional facilities commencing in Fiscal Year 2021-22. This approval allowed staff to
process payment for outstanding invoices for FY 20/21, and thereafter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $100,000 was included in the approved Public Works Operations Budget for
miscellaneous plumbing services in various R/M Buildings accounts. Therefore, there is no
further impact to the General Fund with this action. Funds will only be expended to the extent
necessary.

to protect the health and safety of the public, including to prevent or mitigate the loss or
impairment of life, health, property or public services.

approval of the city manager, determines that: (1) a competitive bid procedure has
been conducted by another public agency, including, but not limited to, another local
agency, the state through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS), the federal
government through the General Services Administration (GSA), or a joint powers
agency, authority or alliance that procures competitive contracts; and (2) the price to
the city is equal to or better than the price to that public agency.
F - State Purchase. When the purchase is made on behalf of the city by the State
Department of General Services.
G - Mandated Expenditures. When expenditures are mandated by law or regulation,
such as county booking fees, utilities, postage (for delivery charges through the U.S.
Postal Service), waste disposal fees or other non-negotiable permit, use or application
fees.
H - Shared Services. When the city council or city manager authorizes the award and
execution of contracts for services, subject to the dollar limits consistent with this
chapter, that are provided by another government, public entity, joint powers authority,
quasi-governmental entity, special district or nonprofit entity that will maximize
efficiency, increase cost effectiveness, increase range of services, minimize
duplication, provide training or education encourage collaboration or standardize
efforts, or leverage government resources.
I - Best Interest of City. When the city council or city manager authorizes the award
and execution of contracts, subject to the dollar limits consistent with this chapter,
without competitive bidding provided that the city council or city manager finds that
such award is in the best interest of the city, or of the public health, safety, and welfare.
J - Sole Source*. When the city manager determines that there is only one source
that provides the needed public project, contractual service, professional service or
materials, supplies, and equipment or a product to ensure compatibility with other city
products and equipment, the city shall work to procure these items in the best interest
of the city. *This is rare. Confirm it meets ALL requirements in the code.
K - Authorized Vendor List. The City or any of its departments may create an open
vendor list for the purposes of providing recurring and routine contractual services,
professional services, and materials, supplies, and equipment for the fiscal year.

Following the City Council’s goal of developing a 5-year plan for environmental initiatives, staff
identified several gas-powered vehicles that are no longer in use or have reached their useful
life cycle. To accomplish this, staff requests that the City Council approve the surplus of the
following vehicles to help offset the purchase of electric vehicles.
Project Description:
The following vehicles have reached the end of their useful life, are no longer reliable, or have
been replaced. Therefore, disposal through a licensed salvage company or auction is
recommended:
Vehicle No. Description Status
#265 COPS Golf Cart Replaced in FY 20/22
#267 Paint/Stencil Truck Replaced in FY 21/22
#341 Bucket Truck Replaced in FY 21/22
#M-873 Cop Motorcycle No longer reliable
#M-874 Cop Motorcycle No longer reliable
#M-875 Cop Motorcycle No longer reliable
#M-877 LP#3003007 Cop Motorcycle No longer reliable
#M-878 LP#3001761 Cop Motorcycle No longer reliable
*Photographs attached
The following vehicles are also no longer in use or will be replaced by electric vehicles.
Therefore, selling through a licensed salvage company or auction is recommended:

55 2016 Ford Flex 1473567 Carpool
54 2016 Ford Fusion 1473510 Carpool
Most of the vehicles and equipment outlined in the above tables are stored at the City’s
Corporation Yard. Since there are a considerable number of vehicles and equipment to be
disposed of, the City will acquire more value by selling them now. This process will require the
licensed salvage company or companies to retrieve surplus vehicles at the Corporation Yard
during normal business hours and sell the vehicles to the highest bidder at auction. Staff will
also explore the feasibility of selling unused vehicles through the City’s current vehicle lease
company, Enterprise.
Staff recommends that the vehicles and equipment listed above be declared as surplus and that
the City Council authorize staff to dispose of said vehicles and equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request does not have a negative fiscal impact to the General Fund. The sale
of said vehicles and equipment expects to generate approximately $175,000 - $250,000 and will
be added to the City’s Equipment Replacement Fund. These funds will help offset costs for the
purchase of new equipment and electric vehicles which will be presented to the City Council at
a future date.

Funds are available in Account No. 4504161-4400100, Building Maintenance, and 5104361-

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On May 26, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-45, amending the City of Palm
Desert’s Video Surveillance Policy to include improvements in technology like accessing video
data in real-time, improved resolution, and data storage, while safeguarding privacy. Recently,
security cameras were installed at the Palm Desert Aquatic Center, which has minimized
unauthorized after hour uses and has significantly reduced overall vandalism and theft at the
facility.
In response to theft and vandalism at various City-owned facilities, staff explored options to
upgrade and strategically install security cameras at the Civic Center campus, the Corporation
Yard, and the Parkview Office Complex. In collaboration with the City’s Information Systems
Department, the City obtained an assessment and a competitive government bid from Vector
USA, a member of the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Program. For reference,
CMAS is a state program that allows public agencies to acquire a wide variety of commodities
and services at prices that have been assessed to be fair, reasonable, and competitive.
Therefore, in accordance with Palm Desert Municipal Code 3.30.260, the bidding process is
satisfied.
Project Description:
The proposal for the Security Cameras Installation Project includes the following requirements:
Item 1P-1
City of Palm Desert
Award Contract for the Security Camera Installation Project
Page 2 of 2
•Replacement of eleven (11) existing analog cameras and three (3) new cameras at the
Parkview Office Complex that view various parking and building areas, the Desert
Holocaust Memorial, and entryways.
•Replacement of eight (8) existing cameras and install one (1) new camera at the
Corporation Yard to capture various parking lot angles, entryways, and fence lines.
•Installment of eighteen (18) new cameras around the perimeter of City Hall Buildings to
capture various parking lot angles, office windows, doors, and side buildings.
Therefore, staff requests approval to enter into an agreement with Vector USA for the installation
of the cameras at the Parkview Office Complex, Civic Center, and Corporation Yard in the
amount of $206,039.29.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2022/23 includes a carryover of
$137,401, for the City Hall Roof Improvements Project. However, the City Hall roof is currently
under warranty, thus making funds available for the Civic Center Security Cameras Project. The
cameras at the Parkview Office Complex will be funded using the carryover of capital project
funds intended for building improvements. Therefore, there will be no further impact to the
General Fund.

written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.

limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

liability, and if applicable, pollution liability and cyber liability, policies shall provide or be endorsed
to provide that the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials,
employees, volunteers and representatives, shall be additional insureds under such policies. This
provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(K) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of
the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any
limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in
writing.
(L) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision
must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately
to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s
limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(M) Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its
sub-consultants, sub-contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought
onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and
endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage
and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with
consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
(N) City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City or its Risk
Manager reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and
types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of
such change. If such change results in cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may
renegotiate Contractor’s compensation. If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the
change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.
(O) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must

comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(P) Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt
and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the

work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions, where
applicable, shall include, but shall not be limited to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving

from the date of final payment under this Agreement.
3.2.15 Work Sites.
3.2.15.1 Inspection Of Site. Contractor shall visit sites where
Services are to be performed and shall become acquainted with all conditions affecting the

commencement of the Services.
3.2.15.2 Field Measurements. Contractor shall make field
measurements, verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and

for such services. The Services in the affected area shall not thereafter be resumed except by
written agreement of the City and Contractor.
3.2.16 Loss and Damage. Contractor shall be responsible for all loss and

the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be encountered in the
prosecution of the Services until the same is fully completed and accepted by City.
3.2.17 Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Agreement (which
for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been

free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period
of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or
Item 1P-11
Contract No. __________________
- 10 -
warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into
the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10)
days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the Services or non-conformance
of the Services to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all Services
necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act
sooner as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its
sole cost and expense, repair and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors)
damaged by its defective Services or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or
replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct
defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one (1) year period, commencing with the date
of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require
to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and
replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement. All costs associated with such
corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment
and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All
warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any
portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the
benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been
transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such
warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails
to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this
Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and
replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the
replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to
fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

invoices which provides a detailed description of the Services and hours rendered by Contractor.
City shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving such statement, review the statement and pay all
non-disputed and approved charges. Contractor shall submit its final invoice to City within thirty
(30) days from the last date of provided Services or termination of this Agreement and failure by
the Contractor to submit a timely invoice shall constitute a waiver of its right to final payment.
Payment shall not constitute acceptance of any Services completed by Contractor. The making
of final payment shall not constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.
3.3.2.1 Retainer. From each approved progress estimate, five
percent (5%) will be deducted and retained by the City, and the remainder will be paid to

Item 1P-12
Contract No. __________________
- 11 -
3.3.3 Deductions. City may deduct or withhold, as applicable, from each
progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of: (1) stop payment
notices as allowed by state law; (2) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Services by Contractor; (3)
sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City
for which Contractor is liable under the Agreement; and (4) any other sums which the City is
entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Agreement or pursuant to state law,
including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of
these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.
3.3.4 Reimbursement for Expenses. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any
expenses unless authorized in writing by City.
3.3.5 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may

parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Contractor shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization
from City’s Representative.

Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations,
Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing
wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance”
projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or
“maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is
$15,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall

commencement of this Agreement. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per
diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services

place of business and at the Project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City,
its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged
failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and

apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4
and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors
and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1). The requirement to submit certified payroll
records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to
work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption
specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.3.7 Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed as part
of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, and if the total compensation is $15,000
or more, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all
subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial
Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the
same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s
sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded
to Vector Resources dba VectorUSA, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement

to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated August 25, 2022, (hereinafter referred to as
“Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by
reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, Vector Resources dba VectorUSA, the undersigned Contractor
and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized
and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and
firmly bound unto the City in the sum of Two Hundred Six Thousand Thirty-Nine DOLLARS and
29/100, ($206,039.29), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total
amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs,
executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these
presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or
appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null
and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the
City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship,
Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder
shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s
rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but
not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the
Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or
shall promptly, at the City’s option:
Item 1P-23
CONTRACT NO. _________
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in

(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and
conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such
bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient
funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract
price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification

“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which
may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default,
notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the
Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract

costs or completion date must be agreed upon by both parties in the form of a written change order.
Proprietary Information: The information contained in this document is proprietary to VectorUSA and intended to
be used as evaluative and / or bidding information only. No part of this document may be disclosed, reproduced
and/or distributed to anyone except the listed recipients within this package without written permission from
VectorUSA.
Add & Delete: Any additional work requested outside of the scope of work will be considered as separate work and
addressed in
the form of a written change order. This proposal is not to be used as an "add & delete" schedule.
Defective Materials: If, due to problems with the existing hardware and / or materials provided by the client or
other third parties, here is a delay and / or VectorUSA is unable to perform the work outlined in the scope of work
it will be addressed in the form of a written change order.
Extraordinary Service: Certain additional charges related to extraordinary levels of support or out-of-pocket costs
incurred by VectorUSA, through no fault of its own, shall be reimbursed to VectorUSA by the client under this
agreement.
Examples of costs reimbursable under this section include, but are not limited to 1) shipping expenses relat ed to
unusual site handling fees (e.g., extra distance, no loading dock, extra stairs, extra demurrage charges); 2) storage
or special handling expenses incurred if an installation site is not able to accept delivery as scheduled; 3) expenses
incurred by VectorUSA to resolve network compatibility issues caused by a client’s election to substitute non-
VectorUSA provided equipment or services; and 4) expenses incurred by VectorUSA for additional installation time
and / or materials caused by a site not being prepared as called for in this proposal. VectorUSA shall promptly notify
the client in writing of such charges. Notification will be provided, when feasible, prior to the incurrence of such
charges, unless circumstances preclude such prior written notification (by way of example, but not limited to,
unusual site handling charges). Provided the incurrence of such charges is not due to VectorUSA’s fault or
negligence, VectorUSA shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the prices herein, the delivery schedule, or
both, to reflect such charges and any related delay.
Schedule: VectorUSA plans to implement this project in a continuous fashion or following the baselined schedule if
submitted as part of this project. If delays or changes are introduced that are outside of VectorUSA’s control, and
those changes result in additional cost those costs will be addressed in the form of a written change order.
Delays: The client must provide five (5) working days advance notice of any delays that will impact this project. If
proper notice is not provided VectorUSA reserves the right to issue a work stoppage change order. Additionally, idle
time incurred due to the absence of required escorts, clearance, permits, inability to enter the workplace, delays
by other trades or other factors beyond VectorUSA’s control will be addressed in the form of a written change order.
Workdays / Overtime: All work will be performed during VectorUSA's standard business hours of 7am - 5pm,
Monday – Friday, or as specified in the statement / scope of work. If changes to the stated work hours are required

Price Guarantee
Due to the volatility in markets affecting material costs across all product lines we can only guarantee material costs
for 30 days unless otherwise specified. If a purchase order is not received within the guaranteed window any
increases will be addressed through a new proposal.
Lead Time Disclaimer
At the time of this proposal lead time for the materials specified was up to 90 Days.
Lead times on material orders are verified at the time we submit our proposals based on our understanding of the
anticipated project period of performance. With the current volatility in the market driven by supply and demand
those lead times cannot be guaranteed past the date of the proposal. Lead times will be refreshed once a purchase
order is received and if any items have lead times that impact the project timeline a Stakeholder notification will be
sent. If needed alternative “equivalent” products may be discussed and if agreed upon substituted to maintain the
desired period of performance.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Management Analyst
Randy Chavez, Community Services Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE DESERT WINE FEST AT CIVIC CENTER PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Desert Wine Fest at Civic Center Park, including temporary waiver of certain
sections of the Municipal Code as follows:
a.11.01.20 (Hours of Use in City Parks);
b.11.01.140 (Amplified Sound in City Parks);
c.11.01.080 O (Placement of Advertising Signage in City Parks);
d.11.01.080 Q (Vendor Sales in City Parks); and
e. 11.01.080 W (Possession/Consumption of Alcohol in City Parks) pursuant to PDMC
9.58.040.
2) Approve modification to Item 30 of DRD Application – Rental Requirements providing an
increase to the general liability insurance requirement based on assessed risk to
$2,000,000 / $4,000,000; and waiving the Worker’s Compensation Insurance
requirement, as the organizer indicates there is no paid staff.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The LA Wine Fest is an annual event that began in 2006 with the goal to “bring wine and people
together in a fun, inviting and accessible way”. This organization has expanded to create the
Santa Clarita Wine Fest in 2010, the OC Wine Fest in 2016, and now has planned to host its
first Desert Wine Fest at Civic Center Park. If approved, Desert Wine Fest would be a wine
tasting event that provides a sampling of different wines from 40-50 wineries from around the
world. The gathering of exhibitors includes wineries, breweries, food vendors, and lifestyle
brands.
This is a ticketed, for-profit event. However, the organizers plan to work with two local charities
that would receive funds generated from the event. Charities currently being considered include
the Desert AIDS Project and the Family YMCA of the Desert.
The event would take place Saturday, February 25, 2023, from 12 pm to 5 pm and Sunday the
26th from 12 pm to 4 pm, with load-in on the 23rd and 24th and tear-down on the 27th. The
preferred area of the Park for the event includes the Rose Garden and adjacent grass area up
to the pond. Other Civic Center Park locations are also being considered to find the best fit for
the event.
Since alcohol will be served, the event will be completely fenced off from the rest of the park
during its operating hours. Attendees will be required to wear bracelets verifying that they are

part of the event and are over 21 years of age. At the organizer’s expense, additional security
will be provided.
Public Works staff identified that there will likely be an impact to the turf in the festival area due
to the amount of vehicular and pedestrian traffic needed to carry out the event. The organizer
will be responsible for the costs to repair excessive wear and tear to the park and facilities.
After review by the City’s Risk Management staff, a $2,000,000 / $4,000,000 General Liability
insurance certificate would be required. General Liability covers bodily injury, property damage
liability, and personal injury. This is the most basic coverage and is required for most projects.
Accidents such as trip and falls, injury of a volunteer, etc. are covered under General Liability. A
waiver must also be completed for Worker’s Compensation as the organizer does not have any
paid staff. Risk Management staff will break down the endorsements needed for General Liability
and ensure they are submitted along with the Worker’s Compensation waiver prior to sign off.
Strategic Plan
Approval of the Desert Wine Fest event would help address the following priorities outlined in
the 2013-2033 Strategic Plan, Envision Palm Desert – Forward Together:
•Economic Development Priority 3: Create and attract entertainment and events to
enhance and expand the Palm Desert economy and lifestyle.
•Tourism and Marketing Priority 2: Grow existing events and develop new events to
enhance the desirability of Palm Desert as a year-round destination.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This ticketed event would provide a positive impact to the City by increasing the number of
premier events within the City and potential sales tax revenue from visitors. The organization
would also contribute to local charities.
A $230 per day per area facility use fee, $40 per hour maintenance worker fee, and $20
administrative fee will be assessed. In addition, a $100 per area per day refundable cleaning
deposit is collected prior to the event.
Description Duration Rate Total
Pavilion 2 5 days $230 / day $1,150.00
Pavilion 5 5 days $230 / day $1,150.00
Main Field 5 days $230 / day $1,150.00
Maintenance Worker 40 hours

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Amy Lawrence, Special Programs Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE EXPENDITURE FOR MURAL INSTALLATION LOCATED AT
44700 SAN PABLO AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve expenditure in the amount of $8,500 for the installation of a mural located at 44700
San Pablo Avenue.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute subject contracts related to this project as they
become available.
Funds are available in the FY 2022/2023 budget in Account Number 4364650-4309200.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At its June 8, 2022, meeting the Cultural Arts Committee recommended partnering with property
owner John DeVita on installation of a mural located at 44700 San Pablo Avenue (southeast
corner of San Pablo and San Gorgonio – barber shop wall). Specifically, the Committee
recommended approval of funding in the amount of $7,500 towards the mural with the property
owner paying $2,500 and requested that staff contact Flat Black Art Supply/CV C.A.R.E. Corp.
to request three (3) to four (4) mural options for the wall including the following themes:
pollinators, native desert plants, Native American, and historic Palm Desert.
After the meeting, Flat Black Art Supply informed staff that they inadvertently omitted from its
proposal the cost of a scissor lift to install the mural and requested approval for an additional
$1,000. Flat Black Art Supply also submitted four (4) mural renderings and bios from their artist
affiliates for the Cultural Arts Committee’s review and consideration.
Upon review of the four (4) mural options at its July 13, 2022, meeting, the Cultural Arts
Committee unanimously recommended artist Kathleen Goff’s proposal for the mural installation
(with the request that she replace the saguaro cactus with ocotillos as the latter is native to the
area). Additionally, the Committee unanimously approved the additional $1,000 expenditure
bringing the City’s total cost of the project to $8,500. If the City Council approves this
expenditure, staff will work on a contract with Flat Black Art Supply to install the mural, as well
as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the property owner approving use of the wall
for the mural installation for at least two years. Timeline for mural installation would be
September/October.
Strategic Plan:
Installation of art along the San Pablo corridor is in line with the Arts & Culture Mini-Vision
contained in the Strategic Plan, which states:
Item 1R-1

economic benefits to the City. Palm Desert is a leader in arts education, ensuring a
well-rounded population that possesses high levels of creativity and critical thinking
skills.”
Commission Recommendation:
At its regular meeting of July 13, 2022, the Cultural Arts Committee unanimously recommended
an expenditure in the amount of $8,500 for a mural installation by artist Kathleen Goff at 44700
San Pablo Avenue.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $8,500 for this project have been included in the 2022/2023 Public Art
budget – Account Number 4364650-4309200. No General Fund monies will be expended.

In my mural concept I have chosen native plant life and their pollinators to showcase the beauty in what
the desert can offer to us to add to the community bringing bright eye -catching colors, textures and life

I would be honored to be chosen for this project here in Palm Desert to add vivid imagery for all residents
and visitors to enjoy for years to come.

REQUEST: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF POLY PARFAIT BY ARTIST E. TYLER
BURTON FROM THE 2021/2022 EL PASEO SCULPTURE EXHIBITION
IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve the purchase of Poly Parfait by artist E. Tyler Burton from the 2021/2022 El Paseo
Sculpture Exhibition in the amount of $25,000, exclusive of taxes, for inclusion in Palm
Desert’s permanent public art collection.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute subject contract.
Funds are available in the FY 2022/2023 budget in Account Number 4364650-4400100.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Desert frequently purchases artwork from its El Paseo Sculpture Exhibitions to
add to the beauty of the City and the prestige of its public art collection. This also serves as an
incentive to artists to participate in future exhibits.
The sculpture recommended for purchase from the 2021/2022 El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition,
Poly Parfait from the Fossils of the Future collection by Palm Springs based artist E. Tyler Burton
consists of three separate columns that are all 1’ in diameter at various heights with the tallest
being 6’. Each column is made of concrete, resin, hydrocal (plaster), acrylic paint, and found
plastic objects.
According to the artist, she rescues plastic from its problematic destructive fate and layers it with
dried paint, resin, and other materials creating unique works. As you look at the sculptures you
will see different pieces of plastic garbage including single-use water bottles, bottle caps, plastic
spoons, plastic toys, and plastic food containers embedded in the clear layers of resin. The artist
strives to create works that are aesthetically appealing and thought provoking. She wants her
pieces to inspire deeper conversations about the world in which we live.
The Cultural Arts Committee and staff have selected an installation location at the northeast
area of the Civic Center Park between Restroom A and the Palm Desert Aquatic Center. The
proposed location is near a seating area just south of the newly installed pollinator garden. There
is currently no public art located in this area of the park and the proposed installation location is
on the walking path which will allow for the interactive sculpture to be viewed closely by
parkgoers.
If purchased, the sculpture will stay in place on El Paseo through the end of the Exhibition in
October 2022, after which it would be installed in its permanent location.

Purchase of Poly Parfait by E. Tyler Burton
Page 2 of 2
Strategic Plan:
Purchase of E. Tyler Burton’s sculpture for addition to Palm Desert’s permanent public art
collection is in line with the Arts & Culture Mini-Vision contained in the Strategic Plan, which
states:
“Arts and culture give a community its soul. Palm Desert is the cultural core of the
Coachella Valley. Cultural tourism drives economic growth in Palm Desert. The
community is host to internationally recognized cultural events that bring significant
economic benefits to the City. Palm Desert is a leader in arts education, ensuring a
well-rounded population that possesses high levels of creativity and critical thinking
skills.”
Commission Recommendation:
At its regular meeting of July 13, 2022, the Cultural Arts Committee recommended the purchase
of Poly Parfait by E. Tyler Burton for addition to the City’s permanent public art collection with a
vote of 5-2-0, Commissioners Boren, Flint, Higgins, Mitze, and Wallach in favor and
Commissioners Adney and Hauer opposed. Member Adney’s opposition was due to her
preference to not purchase a sculpture this year and Member Hauer’s opposition was in favor of
a different sculpture.
Additionally, upon presentation of an informational report regarding the sculpture purchase and
potential install location to the Parks and Recreation Commission at its regular meeting of August
2, 2022, staff received a positive response on the project from the Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the purchase of Poly Parfait by E. Tyler Burton is approved, the City will be responsible for the
$25,000 purchase price (exclusive of taxes). Additional costs associated with this request
include pad fabrication, artwork installation, and incidental costs which should not exceed
$2,000. Funds for this have been included in the 2022/2023 Public Art budget – Account Number
4364650-4400100. No General Fund monies will be expended.

longer be represented as the work of the ARTIST without his/her written permission.
CITY agrees to reasonably assure that the Work is properly preserved, maintained, and
protected. CITY shall, however, have the right to move or relocate the Work or remove
it from display without the consent of ARTIST.
Section 5. Repair. Insofar as is practical, in the event repair of the Work is required,
CITY shall give ARTIST, during his or her lifetime, the opportunity to do that work for a
reasonable fee. In the case of disagreement between CITY and ARTIST as to what
constitutes a reasonable fee, the fee determined by an independent conservator
Item 1S-11
CONTRACT NO.
selected by CITY shall be considered a reasonable fee. In the event ARTIST refuses to
make the repair for such fee, CITY may proceed to arrange for such repair by a person
qualified to accomplish the restoration. When emergency repairs are necessary in
order to prevent the loss of or further damage to the Work, such repairs shall be
undertaken or arranged by CITY without advance notice to ARTIST, and such repairs
shall not be deemed to constitute an artistic alteration.
Section 6. Authorship of Work. ARTIST shall retain the right to claim authorship of the
Work. CITY shall assure that ARTIST’S name shall be publicly displayed on, at, or near
the Work. In the event the Work is substantially damaged or artistically altered in a
substantial manner, CITY shall no longer represent the Work to be the Work of ARTIST
if ARTIST gives written notice to CITY that it is the position of ARTIST that ARTIST has
the right to deny authorship on the grounds stated in this paragraph. In the event CITY
disputes the right of ARTIST to deny authorship, the matter shall be submitted to the
Arbitration Service of California Lawyers for the Arts which shall determine the issue of
whether the Work is substantially damaged or artistically altered in a substantial
manner. Such determination shall be binding upon CITY and ARTIST and neither shall
have any further recourse or cause of action regarding the matters so determined.
Section 7. Indemnification. ARTIST shall assume the defense of, and indemnify and
save harmless, the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers, and each and
every one of them, from and against all actions, damages, costs, liability, claims, losses,
and expenses of every type and description to which any or all of them may be
subjected, by reason of, or resulting from, directly or indirectly, the performance of this
Agreement by ARTIST, whether within or without the scope of this Agreement, whether
or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. The foregoing shall include,
but not be limited to, any attorney fees reasonably incurred by CITY. The obligation to
defend and indemnify the CITY shall terminate upon the completion of the one year
warranty period.
Section 8. Copyright. Upon purchase of ARTIST’S Work, copyright of the Work will be
owned jointly by CITY and ARTIST and no further use of the copyright will be made by
ARTIST or CITY without the written consent of the other, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.
CITY has the right to reproduce and distribute in printed form and on commercial
documents and/or brochures or any other literature of CITY describing or dealing with
its real estate holdings, photographs, realistic renderings, videotapes, or films of the
Work. Such reproductions and use of the images of the Work for promotional purposes
shall not constitute a breach of copyright and no royalty shall be due and payable by
CITY to ARTIST for such use.
Section 9. Credit to the Artist. Such reproduction and images of the Work which feature
the Work as art for publicity, promotion, and educational purposes shall, to the extent
reasonably possible and appropriate, give reference to the artist. Reproduction and
images of Work in which the purpose of the reproduction or image is predominantly
unrelated to the Work shall not require reference to artist.
Item 1S-12
CONTRACT NO.
Section 10. Artist Reproduction Rights. Pursuant to Section 8, CITY agrees that ARTIST
shall have the right to reproduce and distribute in printed form and on non-commercial
educational materials and brochures advertising or promoting ARTIST and ARTIST’S
career, two-dimensional images such as photos, slides, or realistic renderings, video
tapes, or films of the Work as installed. Such reproductions and use of the images of
the Work for promotional and educational purposes shall be deemed to not constitute a
breach of copyright in any way and no royalty fee shall be due and payable to ARTIST
for such use. Such reproduction and images of the Work for publicity, promotion, and
educational purposes shall, to the extent reasonably possible and appropriate, give
reference to City of Palm Desert.
Section 11. Records. CITY agrees to maintain for a reasonable period of time a record
of this Agreement and of the location and disposition of the Work.
Section 12. Breach of Agreement; Arbitration.
(a) In the event ARTIST or CITY believes that the other has failed to faithfully perform
this Agreement, the aggrieved party shall notify the other in writing of such failure. Such
notice shall specify in detail each and every failure and the reason such failure is a
breach of the Agreement. In the event that the parties cannot resolve the dispute, the
Arbitration Service of the California Lawyers for the Arts shall determine whether or not
there has been a failure to perform this Agreement and such determination shall be final
and binding upon both ARTIST and CITY.
(b) If any matter is to be submitted to a third party for resolution, all fees, expenses, and
costs connected therewith shall be borne jointly and equally by CITY and ARTIST.
Each and every obligation under this Agreement to submit any matter to a third party for
resolution is conditioned upon the foregoing provision of this paragraph. If any matter is
to be submitted to the Arbitration Service of the California Lawyers for the Arts for
resolution pursuant to the Agreement, and if, at the time such submission is called for,
the Arbitration Service of the California Lawyers for the Arts is not in existence or is not
able or willing to provide such resolution service, then the matter shall be submitted for
resolution to the American Arbitration Association in accordance with their procedures
then in use.
Section 13. Artist's Rights; Notification of Change of Address. ARTIST shall notify the
CITY of any change of address and failure to do so shall constitute a waiver of
ARTIST’S rights pursuant to this Agreement during the time such omission prevails.
Any waiver of a right pursuant to this Agreement for failure to maintain ARTIST’S
current address so aforesaid may be cured prospectively only by notifying the CITY of
ARTIST’S current address. All rights of ARTIST pursuant to this Agreement shall be
personal to ARTIST and shall terminate upon either the legal disability or incompetence
of ARTIST or upon the death of ARTIST, except as provided ARTIST under the
Copyright Laws. No right of ARTIST pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred in any manner, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing any
hypothecation or pledge or any grant of any security interest, except as provided by
ARTIST under the Copyright laws.
Section 14. Notice. All notices shall be given in writing and mailed, postage prepaid, by
certified mail, addressed as follows:

walk on Saturday, October 8, 2022. This event, which raises funds for screening, diagnosis, and
treatment of breast cancer, has become a much-anticipated occasion in our community. In 2021
the event hit its highest number of participants at just under two thousand.
DCF is requesting approval of road closures on El Paseo. Both the north and south lanes of El
Paseo between Portola and Highway 74 will be closed during the event. This will once again
allow DCF to move their stage and other activities out into the street and make it possible to
continue to increase participation and funds raised.
As with previous events requiring road closures, for safety precautions, hard closures will be
utilized at all major intersections and police officers will be stationed at designated locations
along the route. Tops N’ Barricades will follow the last participant to open the roads as close to
10 a.m. as possible.

The 58th annual Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade, themed Masquerade, is scheduled to take place

(PDACC) and Parade Charities is excited to bring back this annual tradition after two years of
cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s event will once again include a Kids
Zone, food vendors, two beer gardens, car show, business expo, Senior seating area, VIP
seating area, live music, floats and much more.
PDACC is seeking approval to utilize the 2019 parade route, which requires road closures on El
Paseo, from Portola to Ocotillo Drive. All closures will open as soon as safely possible once the
parade ends. Upon City Council approval, staff will work with the producer and other City
departments to ensure that an adequate traffic control plan is in place prior to the event and that
advance notification is given to residents off Sage Lane, who will be impacted by floats at the
end of the parade. Additionally, staff will ensure that sufficient police services are provided and
that all insurance, inspections, and permits are in place (i.e., encroachment, ABC, etc.)
The City has been a title sponsor of the parade and a strong supporter of this event for several
years through financial contribution, as well as in-kind services by City staff. At the July 14,
2022, Special Meeting, council approved a $25,000 monetary sponsorship, plus in-kind services
offered by the Public Works Department to handle traffic control and road closures for the event.
As well as trash and recycling services offered by Burrtec, and public safety services offered by
the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the Citizens on Patrol group. This in-kind
sponsorship was approved at a maximum of $15,000. Additionally, as part of the 2022/23

Ranked Choice Voting
On May 3, 2022, the City Manager approved Contract No. A43030 with Tripepi Smith and
Associates (TSA) for an initial amount of $10,000 to commence work on the informational
campaign related to Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). RCV is an innovative voting method, and the
City of Palm Desert is the first governmental entity to utilize RCV in Riverside County. As such, it is
critically important that the city make efforts to inform residents about the new voting method in
advance of the November 8, 2022, General Municipal Election.
TSA services include project management, content development, graphic design, social media
management, advertisement placement services, and video production. Over the past several
months, staff and TSA have developed a robust informational campaign and a proposed budget to
carry out the campaign through the end of the election.
TSA Labor Costs
Project Management $11,500
Content Development $ 8,500
Graphic Design $11,900
Social Media Management $ 4,500

•Citywide Mailer: An English and Spanish mailer explaining how to complete the RCV
ballot will be mailed to every residence as well as registered voters with a mailing address
outside of the city.
•Facebook & Google Advertisements: English and Spanish boosted posts with
geofencing to target viewers within the city limits.
•Radio Advertisements: Advertisements with local English and Spanish radio stations.
•Website: The City purchased the URLs, VotePalmDesert.org and VotarPalmDesert.org, as a
redirect to the Engage Palm Desert website. The web pages will include content in English
and Spanish with downloadable flyers, explainer video(s), and FAQs.
•Community Presentations: The City Clerk’s Office continues to solicit ideas for community
presentations and events where we can inform voters about RCV. Below is a snapshot of the
presentations and events already scheduled:

Advisory Ballot Measure B
On April 20, 2022, the City Manager approved Contract No. C43070 with TSA for an initial amount
of $35,000 to commence work on an informational campaign related to a potential ballot measure
regarding voting districts. On June 23, 2022, the City Council called the election and submitted
Advisory Ballot Measure B to the voters.
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) provides guidance to local agencies regarding
informational materials related to ballot measures using public funds. Any mass communication
sent by the city must give a fair presentation of facts serving only an informational purpose.
Furthermore, the informational materials may not contain words of advocacy or unambiguously
urges a particular result in an election.
City staff and TSA have developed informational materials for the City Council’s consideration and
feedback. Staff believes these materials comply with FPPC regulations and notes these materials
do not contain express advocacy and are proposed to be funded by the City’s general fund, not a
special appropriation. Further, the mailers are generally informational and raise awareness to
voters that an advisory measure has been submitted for their consideration.

and a Frequently Asked Questions section to ensure voters understand what an advisory
measure is and what their vote will mean.
• Facebook & Google Advertisements: English and Spanish boosted posts with
geofencing to target viewers within the city limits.
• Radio Advertisements: Advertisement with local English and Spanish radio stations.
• Website: Staff will develop a webpage about Measure B on EngagePalmDesert.com.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If approved, the TSA agreement for RCV would increase from $10,000 to $86,530 and the
agreement regarding Measure B would increase from $35,000 to $75,080, for a net increase of
$116,610. Sufficient funds are available in Account 110-4114-4309000 (Elections). However,
upon the conclusion of the election, it is anticipated that the cost of conducting the election
may exceed the budget. An appropriation may be necessary at that time. The increased cost is
largely attributable to the implementation of Ranked Choice Voting.

Currently, in Palm Desert, there are two geographical City
Council districts. District 1 comprises approximately 20% of
the City’s population and elects one (1) member to the City

Why did the City Council place Measure B on
the November 2022 ballot?
As district elections are relatively new for the City
of Palm Desert, the City Council seeks to better
understand the voters’ sentiment on the district
election structure.
What does a ‘Yes’ vote on Measure B
mean?
A “yes” vote on Advisory Measure B will recommend
dividing District 2 into four smaller districts to create
a total of five districts, with voters from each district
electing a Council Member from the district they
reside in.
What does a ‘No’ vote on Measure B mean?
A “no” vote on Advisory Measure B will indicate
that voters want to maintain the existing two district
election system.
What is an Advisory Measure?
Measure B is only an advisory question, meaning
that voters are submitting their opinion on a non-
binding question. Think of it as a survey of what
voters in the general election think about how the
City elects members of the City Council. The outcome
of the vote can help inform the City Council’s future
decision-making process but the outcome of the
advisory question will not directly affect the number
of districts in Palm Desert.
¿Por qué el Concejo Municipal colocó la
Medida B en la boleta electoral de noviembre
de 2022?
Como las elecciones distritales son relativamente nuevas
para la ciudad de Palm Desert, el Concejo Municipal
busca comprender mejor el sentimiento de los votantes
sobre la estructura de las elecciones distritales.
¿Qué significa un voto de ‘Sí’ en la Medida B?
Un voto de “sí” a la Medida Consultiva B recomendará
dividir el Distrito 2 en cuatro distritos más pequeños para
crear un total de cinco distritos, con votantes de cada
distrito que elijan a un Concejal del distrito en el que
residen.
¿Qué significa un voto de “No” a la Medida B?
Un voto “no” a la Medida Consultiva B indicará que los
votantes desean mantener el sistema electoral existente
de dos distritos.
¿Qué es una Medida Consultiva?
La Medida B es solo una pregunta de asesoramiento,
lo que significa que los votantes envían su opinión
sobre una pregunta no vinculante. Piense en ello como
una encuesta de lo que piensan los votantes en las
elecciones generales acerca de cómo la Ciudad elige
a los miembros del Concejo Municipal. El resultado de
la votación puede ayudar a informar el futuro proceso
de toma de decisiones del Concejo Municipal, pero
el resultado de la pregunta consultiva no afectará
directamente la cantidad de distritos en Palm Desert.

Currently, in Palm Desert, there are two geographical City Council districts. District 1
comprises approximately 20% of the City's population and elects one (1) member to the
City Council every four years. District 2 contains approximately 80% of the City's
population and elects a total of four (4) members to the City Council, with terms staggered
so that two members of the City Council are elected every two years.
When Palm Desert voters go to the polls on November 8, 2022, they will have the choice
to vote on Measure B. Measure B is a simple “yes” or “no” question: Should District 2
be divided into four smaller districts, with all voters selecting a single Council
representative from their smaller district to serve for a four year term?
Measure B is an advisory question, meaning that the outcome will not change the current
number of Palm Desert districts, but it can inform the City Council’s future decision-
making process regarding the number of City Council districts.
Click on the FAQs below to learn more about Measure B:
What is the advisory question Palm Desert is asking us to vote on?
In Palm Desert now, District 1 (the area surrounding Civic Center with 20% of the
population) selects one Council representative every four years, and District 2 (the other
80% of the City) votes for a total of four Council representatives, picking two
representatives every two years. Should District 2 be divided into four smaller districts,
with all voters electing a single person from their smaller district every four years?
How are Palm Desert Council Members currently elected?
In District 1, one Council Member is elected every four years. The current incumbent was
elected in November 2020 for a term of four years. The next election for District 1 will
occur on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
In District 2, four Council Members are elected in staggered terms with two
Councilmembers elected every two years. The next election for two Councilmembers will
occur on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

to better understand the resident sentiment on the district election structure.
What does a ‘Yes’ vote on Measure B mean?
A "yes" vote on Advisory Measure B will recommend dividing District 2 into four smaller
districts to create a total of five districts, with voters from each district electing a Council
Member from the district they reside in.
Item 1W-37
ATTACHMENT 2
What does a ‘No’ vote on Measure B mean?
A "no" vote on Advisory Measure B will indicate that voters want to maintain the existing
two district election system.
What is an advisory question? How is an advisory question different from a ballot
measure?
An advisory question is a type of ballot measure in which citizens vote on a non-binding
question. The difference between an advisory vote and any other type of ballot measure
is that the outcome of the advisory question will not result in a new, changed, repealed,
or rejected local ordinance. Rather, advisory questions allow voters to voice their
preferences and allow the local government to gauge public opinion on the issue being
presented.
If this advisory ballot measure passes, will it change how Palm Desert voters elect
the City Council?
No. The decision to modify the election process in Palm Desert will remain a choice of
the City Council or could be accomplished through a voter initiative.

favor of and in opposition to Measure B?

PRESS RELEASE
PALM DESERT LAUNCHES NEW UPCOMING ADVISORY QUESTION INFORMATION HUB
PALM DESERT, CA — In the upcoming November 8 Election, Palm Desert voters will be
asked for their opinion on the following question: Should District 2 be divided into four
smaller districts, with all voters selecting a single Council representative from their
smaller district to serve a four year term?
Currently, in Palm Desert, there are two geographical City Council districts. District 1
comprises approximately 20% of the City's population and elects one member to the City
Council every four years. District 2 contains approximately 80% of the City's population
and elects a total of four members to the City Council, with terms staggered so that two
members of the City Council are elected every two years.
In order to help voters understand the advisory ballot measure and what their vote will
mean, the City encourages voters to visit www.engagepalmdesert.com for information
and resources. The website includes flyers, frequently asked questions, and additional
information about the advisory question.
Notably, Measure B is only an advisory question. Think of it as a survey of what voters in
the general election think about how the City elects members of the City Council. The
outcome of the vote can help inform the City Council’s future decision-making process
but the outcome of the advisory question will not directly affect the number of districts in
Palm Desert.
For Measure B, a "yes" vote will recommend dividing District 2 into four smaller districts
to create a total of five districts, with voters from each district electing a Council Member
from the district they reside in. A "no" vote will indicate that voters want to maintain the
existing two district election system.
The City encourages all residents to inform themselves about the advisory question and
to vote on the measure. For more information, visit www.engagepalmdesert.com

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE THE DONATION OF ONE (1) EL PASEO COURTESY CART
TO THE DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT AND ONE (1) EL PASEO
COURTESY CART TO THE LIVING DESERT.
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve the donation of the City-owned standard Courtesy Cart to the Desert Recreation
District.
2. Approve the donation of the City-owned ADA compliant Courtesy Cart to The Living Desert.
3.Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute all documents related to the donation.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Since 2004, the City has operated Courtesy Carts along El Paseo annually from October through
May. For this purpose, the City purchased three (3) Courtesy Carts two (2) standard size and one
(1) ADA compliant) and contracted with a vendor to operate them. The contract with the most recent
vendor expired on May 30, 2022, and staff went out to bid for cart operations for the FY 2022/2023
season.
At its meeting on July 14, 2022, the City Council selected Circuit Transit, Inc., as the Courtesy Cart
operator for FY 2022/2023. As part of its contract with the City, Circuit Transit, Inc., will provide its
own carts; therefore, the City-owned Courtesy Carts are no longer needed on El Paseo.
After the approval of the contract with Circuit, Economic Development staff met with Public Works
staff to see if it had any use for the carts. Public Works staff has indicated that it would like to retain
one (1) of the standard-size carts for City use. This leaves two (2) carts that are not needed for the
City’s use - one (1) standard size and one (1) ADA compliant.
As a result, staff reached out to the following five (5) youth and community-oriented local
organizations to see if they would be interested in a donation of one (1) or both carts, to determine
their need for them, and to determine their ability to house and maintain them.
•Desert Recreation District
•Desert Sands Unified School District
•Palm Desert Youth Sports Association
•The Living Desert
•YMCA of the Desert
The YMCA of the Desert responded that it does not need carts, and the Palm Desert Youth Sports
Association did not respond. The Desert Sands Unified School District responded that it would be
interested in the carts but did not indicate a specific use for them and its ability to house and maintain
them.
Item 1X-1
City of Palm Desert
Courtesy Cart Donations
Page 2 of 2
The Desert Recreation District (DRD) indicated that it is interested in both carts. If donated to the
DRD, the standard cart would be used by its staff to assist with planning and executing City and
special events in the Civic Center. The DRD is also interested in the ADA-compliant cart for use at
The First Tee. The donation of one (1) or both carts would assist DRD staff with its efficiency in
serving the public.
The Living Desert also responded that it was interested in both carts, but if only one was available it
prefers the ADA-compliant cart for use for its Private Safari and Animal Care and Conservation tours.
Both tours can be booked by the public and are intended to teach visitors about the mission of the
zoo. The Living Desert staff feels that the addition of the ADA-compliant cart to their fleet would
enable the zoo to deepen its commitment to being a more welcoming and inclusive facility.
Both The Living Desert and the DRD indicated that they have appropriate storage for the carts and
funding to maintain them.
Based on interest from the organizations, staff recommends that the City donate the standard cart
to the DRD and the ADA-compliant cart to The Living Desert. Splitting the carts between the two (2)
organizations allows the City’s donations to assist a wider range of community members and visitors
than if both carts were donated to a single organization.
If approved by the City Council, staff will work with the City Manager to negotiate the donations and
execute a related agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Donation of the two (2) carts will save the City an estimated total of $2,000 annually in maintenance
costs.

OWNED FACILITIES
Policy No. [Assign]
Date Issued: August 25, 2022
Approved by Resolution No. 2022-
Authored by Public Works Department
I. PURPOSE
The City of Palm Desert owns, operates, manages, and leases a variety of indoor
and outdoor space. The intended purpose of those spaces ranges from indoor
spaces that are dedicated solely for the conduct of City business to outdoor spaces
that promote a diversity of uses. Such spaces include the pavilions and playing fields
that can be reserved in advance at the Palm Desert Civic Center Park, Hovley Soccer
Park, and Freedom Park together with the Palm Desert Civic Center Park
amphitheater that can be rented for larger events. The Palm Desert Community
Center and Portola Community Center, both operated by the Desert Recreation
District, are additional facilities that can be rented, along with the Palm Desert
Aquatic Center, operated by the Family YMCA of the Desert.
The purpose of this policy is to support the:
• City regulations adopted as Chapter 11.04, Park Reservations and Park Use
Permit, as part of the Palm Desert Municipal Code;
• Existing agreements with the Desert Recreation District for annual park services
and the lease of the Palm Desert Community Center (Contract No. C32410, as
amended, and Contract No. C39690);
• Existing Facility Use Agreement for lease of space within the Portola Community
Center;
• Existing agreement with the Family YMCA of the Desert for the management and
staffing of the Palm Desert Aquatic Center (Contract No. C36620, as amended);
• Existing City Resolutions 2015-34 and 2015-96, establishing a sports facilities
use policy and authorizing modifications to the Facility Use Agreement for Youth
Sports Organizations, respectively; and
• Rules, regulations, and policies of the Desert Recreation District and the Family
YMCA of the Desert.
Item 2A-15
Resolution No. 2022-_______
Page 2 of 15
It also serves to create a consistent and uniform City policy directed to the
prioritization of uses within certain spaces, including the restriction of some uses that
would either interfere with the operation of the Palm Desert Civic Center or the
simultaneous use and enjoyment of other outdoor spaces within the City’s parks.
This policy clarifies those fees and charges that are due to reserve and use a space
by each agency, as may be applicable, and establishes a procedure by which fee
waivers may be requested for the waiver of City fees.
This policy is intended to complement the existing policies adopted by the Desert
Recreation District and the Family YMCA of the Desert and has been carefully
reviewed to avoid any intentional conflict. Should conflict be identified in the future,
the City reserves its ability to interpret this policy or to make amendments to it at a
later date under the authority granted to the City Manager under the Palm Desert
Municipal Code.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Community Services Manager
Shawn Muir, Management Analyst
Andy Ramirez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: AWARD A CONTRACT TO INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC.,
FROM PERRIS, CALIFORNIA, FOR PLANNING AND DESIGN SERVICES
FOR THE NORTH SPHERE REGIONAL PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF
$1,230,095
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award a Contract to Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., from Perris, California, for Planning
and Design Services for the North Sphere Regional Park in the amount of $1,230,095.
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a contingency amount of $100,000.
3. Appropriate $500,000 from the Restricted Capital Fund 451 to the appropriate capital
improvement account.
4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to review and approve written contract amendment

5. Authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement.
Additional funds in the amount of $1,000,000 are available in Account No. 2334670-5000201,
NS Park for this project.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The North Sphere Regional Park (NSRP) was initially contemplated to be a 27-acre park that
was included in the Millennium Specific Plan to provide residents of the development with
outdoor recreational opportunities. The need for a regional park in this area is designated by
the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
On February 10, 2022, staff requested direction from the City Council on developing a Request
for Proposals (RFP) for design work related to NSRP. Council directed staff to work with the
Parks and Recreation Commission to collaborate with community partners such as Family
YMCA of the Desert, The Joslyn Center, and Desert Recreation District on a community-needs-
focused design for the park and investigate what potential designs and features of the new park
would enable the implementation of their programs. The Council also charged the Parks and
Recreation Commission to ensure public engagement was inclusive of the process.
A sub-committee of the Parks & Recreation Commission was formed and held its first meeting
on March 15, 2022. Discussion focused on the development of the RFP and suitability of the
park site. The sub-committee made a recommendation to the full commission and Mayor Pro
Item 2B-1
City of Palm Desert
Award Contract to Interwest for NSRP Planning & Design
Page 2 of 4
Tempore Jonathan that the City consider adding property or changing the park site to
accommodate features typical of a regional park.
On April 28, 2022, in discussions with the City Council, direction was given to explore an
alternative regional park site that would limit impacts to surrounding residents and could
accommodate the full complement of amenities to support regional recreational opportunities in
the northern portion of the City. In addition, direction was provided to continue planning and
conduct neighborhood outreach for the Millennium park site; although the park site would be
reduced to a smaller neighborhood scale and with limited regional amenities. A neighborhood
meeting was later conducted on June 28, 2022, at the iHUB with residents in vicinity of
Millennium park. Residents were pleased with the reduced scale and impact of the Millennium
park and supported a more passive park at the Millennium site.
Staff developed and posted the North Sphere Regional Park Planning and Design RFP on
OpenGov (the City’s online public bidding portal) on April 6th, 2022, with a due date of May 20th,
2022. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on April 13th and was well-attended with sixteen
(16) firms present. After an additional site was identified to expand or replace the 27-acre site,
the RFP was updated and the deadline was extended to June 24th. Community input on the
park site selection was added to the Scope of Work in the RFP. A second mandatory pre-bid
meeting was held on June 2nd to convey the new potential park location information and answer
questions. Four (4) firms attended that meeting, and all four submitted proposals for the project
as follows:
Contractor Location Rank Proposal Amount
Interwest Consulting Group Perris, CA 1 $1,230,095.00
Hermann Design Group Palm Desert, CA 2 $1,115,015.00
KTUA San Diego, CA 3 $5,130,655.00
STK Architecture, Inc. Temecula, CA 4 $1,854,090.00
A second meeting of the sub-committee was held on June 30th to discuss the proposals and
provide scores based on the evaluation criteria established in the RFP. Staff scored the
proposals separately, using the same criteria, on OpenGov.
The criteria used to evaluate the proposals and their scoring weight is as follows:
• Clarity and conformance of proposal to the RFP (10%)
• Content of the proposal, including the work plan (25%)
• Proposer’s experience and performance (35%)
• Team members’ experience and performance (10%)
• Comments by references (5%)
• Fee proposal (15%)
Staff also commissioned an independent financial review by HR Green Consulting to analyze
the cost effectiveness of each proposal. This analysis provided an overview of how well the
proposals met the criteria of the RFP. HR Green also conducted a fiscal analysis which included
Item 2B-2
City of Palm Desert
Award Contract to Interwest for NSRP Planning & Design
Page 3 of 4
costs per labor unit, level of effort by task, methodologies, and expertise. The final report
provided recommendations to assist staff in the decision-making process.
The proposal submitted by Interwest ranked the highest by staff and the second highest by the
sub-committee. The independent financial review identified Interwest as the consultant with the
lowest rates but had included a lower level of effort (labor units) than other consultants. During
two follow-up interview meetings with Interwest, staff vetted their commitment to the project and
asked for a revised cost proposal to reflect the potential increase of labor units. These figures
are reflected in their updated cost proposal.
References:
References for Interwest were contacted to verify their performance working with other
municipalities. Four (4) references were contacted, and all were very positive in nature. No
negative comments were given. Interwest was described as very professional, attentive, and
serviceable. Several large projects were given as examples, including a 28-acre park with
environmental compliance issues, and a park requiring ADA renovation that required extensive
public engagement resulting in a positive outcome. Their park projects are known for the
inclusion of unique features such as historical information printed on bronze insets in the
sidewalks, a library park featuring regional authors, and a fishing bridge at a park near an
archaeological Native American site.
Interwest was also praised for their professional depth because they are capable of planning,
building inspections, and construction support. The level of service, cultural and community
sensitivity demonstrated by Interwest’s project portfolio were also key factors in determining
staff’s recommendation.
Strategic Plan:
Parks & Recreation – Priority 1: “Prepare for the financial requirements of maintaining existing
parks to the highest level of service. Planning efforts shall also address future costs of
replacement and growth of the parks capital improvement fund.”
Parks & Recreation – Priority 2: “Assure a continuing flow of innovative ideas by seeking creative
partnerships, ensuring adequate staffing, and encouraging resident input.”
Transportation – Priority 1: “Create walkable neighborhoods and areas within Palm Desert that
would include residential; retail; services and employment centers; and parks, recreation and
open space to reduce the use of low occupancy vehicles.”
Commission Recommendation:
During the August 2, 2022, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission
received updates from staff on the review process. Staff conveyed that the top two candidates
were being considered and that the selection would be determined following the results of the
independent financial review.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project was included in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Carryover List for
Fiscal Year 2022/23. The funding for the design and construction of the park is currently $1.5M,
consisting of $1,000,000 under Account No. 2334670-5000201, and $500,000 set aside in
Restricted Capital Improvement funds that require an appropriation. Therefore, there is no
financial impact to the General Fund related to this action. Additional funding sources are likely
needed for the full construction of the park; however, staff will pursue grants and other funding
sources and present to the City Council at a future meeting.

to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s
limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(M) Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its
subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto

ADDENDUM
NORTH SPHERE REGIONAL PARK PLANNING & DESIGN – SCOPE OF WORK
1. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
Changes to the General Scope of Work includes the addition of a component to the public
engagement process. This new component will include selection of the future park site. In
addition to the planned Millennium Park site, the City may offer a separate site to be utilized
either in addition to, in conjunction with or in lieu of the Millennium site. The decision to utilize
one, the other, or both of these sites must be the subject of community outreach from property
owners and homeowners associations (HOAs) within the north sphere.
With this change, initial studies for the park site may need to be augmented beyond those
specified in the original Scope of Work. The Millennium Specific Plan included some limited
environmental studies that may be used to inform park planning. Such studies do not yet exist
for the new site option. Environmental studies needed for this project will be determined after
the park site(s) has/have been established, and the park amenities are planned. The
Consultant’s proposal will provide hourly rates for professionals to complete these studies on a
time and materials basis.
2. STANDARDS OF SERVICE AND QUALITY
No changes are proposed to the Standards of Service and Quality.

meeting approximately six (6) months from the contract start date. This report will

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded
to INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC., (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an
agreement for PLANNING AND DESIGN OF NORTH SPHERE REGIONAL PARK (hereinafter
referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated ________________, (hereinafter referred to as
“Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by
reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC., the undersigned
Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation
organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are
held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THIRTY
THOUSAND NINETY-FIVE DOLLARS ($1,230,095.00), said sum being not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be
made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly
and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or
appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null
and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the
City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship,
Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder
shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s
rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but
not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the
Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or
shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1)Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in
the Contract Documents; or
(2)Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and
conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such

bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient
funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract
price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3)Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local,
California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds
to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price,
including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which
may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default,
notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the
Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract
Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845
of the California Civil Code.

The proposed Project consists of an active sports park. While many natural features
of the site would be retained, park development would include the introduction of
hardscape and impermeable surfaces as well as turfed and landscaped areas. The
park plan includes a multi-use field, child play area, toddler play area, restrooms,
picnic shelters, hardscape, parking lots, bridges, trails, a basketball court, BMX course
improvements, art rocks, a splash pad, a skating area, and a zip line. Additionally,
the Project would retain and incorporate some of the existing site features, such
as Owl Rock, and formalize the unofficial BMX course that exists on the site. There
are three proposed entrances to the site; one at the intersection of Weston Road
and Diana Street, and two entrances that form a horse-shoe drive adjacent to and
accessible from Metz Road. The Project would include on-site signing and road
striping , improve Weston Road and Metz Road to their full local street alignment
along the Project boundary, and provide appropriate sight distance measures in
accordance with Caltrans standards. The Project also includes the under-grounding
of the electrical transmission line that traverses the southern portion of the site
and while the exact alignment is unknown at this time, the alignment will avoid the
riparian area that is to be preserved in its natural state.

Our suggested solution to this project is inherently about community building and
activation, with the understanding that this space, will have the opportunity to be a
multi-general and aspirational. The park will consist of the following programming
including, but not limited to: flexible lawn areas, softball and baseball fields, multi-
purpose field, exercise and fitness trail, educational gardens, basketball courts,
volleyball courts, a skate park and pump track, educational wayfinding, and a
children’s nature playground. Our approach to the design of the project is grouped
into thematic strategies:
•Blurring Boundaries - in order to better integrate the park into the
surrounding neighborhood
•Transforming Edges to Moments - facilitating flexibility of use, visual
connectivity, and designing every space connecting to and in between
elements into spaces that felt purposeful
•Creating Activity Clusters - accessibility to and from programming and
animating the space so that there is a consistent blend of programming
These these strategies, other enhancements such as native landscaping, designing
through CPTED, and celebrating the local culture and diversity through public art
all become proponents of the park’s success. The project team’s vision will help to
maximize the park’s untapped opportunities to serve as cornerstone of community-
building, while remaining relevant
to the growing and changing needs of the City over the next generations.

The CGA design team’s approach to the City’s request was to propose a design
solution that not only provided for the requirements listed within the RFP’s
solicitation, but also pushed beyond the notions of the project simply as a sports
complex, and instead approached the project with the intent of providing a holistic
strategy that speaks to the potential of the project area and the need for the
improvements to remain relevant to the community even when the sports fields are
not in immediate use.
Therefore, the approach consisted of four main themes that will:
•Increase interaction by developing a connected system of spaces that contribute
to the heart of the community by creating a system of indispensable, inter-
connected gathering spaces;
•Provide a multiscale, sustainable solution to community design and site
development that seeks to minimize and manage stormwater through Low
Impact Development and use it as an opportunity to educate and demonstrate
the importance of water conservation and natural processes;
•Maximize connectivity through trail systems that provide a circuited-loop with
a design detailing that will seek to hone key skills such as physical, social, and
cognitive functions; and
•Take steps to preserve the existing plant communities and site drainage to
shape the character and identity of the park to its community.

CGA was approached by the Village of Key Biscayne to reimagine a lot outside
of the Community Center that would inherently create a staple to the village. The
CGA design team approached the project as a timeless design that would relate
to its surrounding functions of government, recreation and open space and would
communicate a continued, upscaled quality. The park’s main component includes
a flexible open lawn area that becomes a ‘civic’ green space used for its versatility.
The lawn area, outside of its passive day-to-day activity, can become a dynamic
space that transforms into event space to hold concerts, food trucks, community
fitness activities, and markets to support programming in the Community Center
and serve as an economic driver to the area.
Other park components include an artwork plaza, a custom pergola design
that enhances the branding of the area, sculptural boulder elements, passive
congregation areas, and a pump track. The project also included lush landscape
improvements, site drainage, and site lighting.
The project is currently under construction.

Miami Beach issued a simple request: to re-design a park. Specifically, the Request
for Qualifications stated that the work products for the North Beach Oceanside
Park would include conceptual drawing(s), surveying, geotechnical, design
development, estimate(s) of probable construction cost, construction documents,
permitting, bidding/award, and construction administration services. Embedded
within the expectations of the City was a critical design component – the final
design must define a new identity for the North Beach community by tapping into
and revealing established values and qualities present in the site. The resultant
design took the densely-vegetated, 30-acre park and conceived it as a series of
carefully orchestrated thresholds where park users will never feel secluded, inactive
or unengaged. The design resulted in a necklace of ‘pods’ that operate as a spine to
the project and serve to protect habitat and increase the City’s management of these
natural resources. The walkways are scaled so that they foster continuous activities in
potentially endless configurable ways and augments the opportunities for resiliency
design by strengthening the dune, utilizing passive green infrastructure and LID
stormwater management strategies. The project also incorporated a rebranding
of the City’s established beachfront with an on-grade beachwalk destined to be a
terminus to the City’s overall transportation infrastructure. The product developed
for the park is one that will provide an immediate transformative quality for the
North Beach Community, it will enhance cultural celebration, and it embodies the
City’s values of good, environmental design and access to great public spaces.

In 2018, the City of Weston contracted with Calvin, Giordano and Associates, Inc.
(CGA) to develop a new 2-acre park in the Bonaventure community of Weston. The
developer of an existing golf course property dedicated the site to the City for a
park, which this area of the City needed. One of the major challenges early on the
project was trying to accommodate all the desired elements on a relatively small
site. Several site plan options were prepared for review by the city staff, and as
result, the final plan featured a playground, half-court basketball, and an outdoor
fitness equipment area. The design also included a small restroom building, paver
parking area, and entrance signage, as well as extensive landscaping and irrigation,
consisting mostly of shade and flowering trees. Since the site had no existing trees
or vegetation of any kind, the park design also featured several benches with
canopy shade structures dispersed along a meandering pathway through the park
to provide some relief from the sun until the newly planted trees grow larger. Some
other challenges that had to be overcome on this project were the poor soils and
drainage conditions that were left behind by the developer. The good topsoil was
stripped off the site and a thick layer of the sand was placed over the entire site.
Careful attention had to be paid to remove a majority of sand and bring in good
quality planting soil for the new trees and landscaping. In addition, since it was
a small site, the drainage had to designed so as not to require any ponds or wet
retention areas, which would take up too much space within the park and result in
fewer elements. Thus, the drainage was collected through a series of smaller yard
drains on site and then directed to a nearby lake on the adjacent development.

PARKS & RECREATIONAL PROJECTS
Where sub-urban development patterns and subdivisions
are the norm, sometimes access to public parks is difficult
to come by and very limited. This heightens the value of
public spaces and increases the expectations that they are
designed to become memorable destinations. But each
public space is different, as they are defined by the values
and desires of the local community. Some communities
want their parks to be passive and naturalized, while others
lean toward the other end of the spectrum with active and
socialized programming. The IW+CGA NSRP Design Team
recognizes these differences and invests the time to ensure
that each park and facility we design is a true manifestation
of the community it’s intended to serve. Beyond those
differences, our approach to park design is consistent on
a number of values, centered around the users and the
location. We tailor our delivery of these with a full cognition
that parks and open spaces are essential to good quality
of life and to an increase in localized resiliency, as they are
frequently on the front lines of ensuring access to services in
an equitable way, especially for under-served communities.
As such, we always seek for ways to embed strategies to
increase social resiliency and equity in our design strategies.
We seek to enhance ways to increase connections to
'place', if it’s by highlighting critical and important views,
creating exiting contextual connections, being a ‘good
neighbor’, locating programming in areas that capitalize
on the presence of amenities, or by physically improving
opportunities for people to engage and build community.

We believe that every park and recreational facility should
be connected to and be in support of the local community,
its heritage and its culture. It should speak to what identifies
the local community, be expressive of its local historical
anecdotes, and celebrate diversity and access.
We believe that the design of these should not be
approached in the same manner as general public space
(typically emphasizing a single primary large open space)
nor should they be approached like resort-inspired spaces
(a series of isolated spaces fragmented by the over-use of
‘outdoor rooms’). Instead we recognize that parks have
a wide appeal for many different people, each arriving at
the public space for different reasons. As such, our spatial
configuration of public parks have always been characterized
by a layered approach of interconnected spaces with subtle
spatial definers and unified by a strong, branded quality.
We approach these projects with the belief that they
should be in complete support of their surrounding urban
context. This includes being sensitive to surrounding land
uses and, from an urban stand-point, seeking to capitalize
on opportunities to create a greater sense of engagement
and potential collaboration of public-realm activation with
those land uses. This results in an urban edge that, though
distinct in quality and design, is perceived as seamless with
the surrounding area.
Our approach to all our park projects, especially those with
a scenic or cultural opportunity, utilize architectural qualities
and elements to deliver and exhibit humanized, relate-
able and iconic experiences. These should be responsive
to mark and highlight entrances and access points, identify
critical and importance destinations, frame and enhance
views, support flexible programming opportunities, and
convey a branding strategy. We understand that because
of the regional topography, parks can play a critical role
in being responsive to localized drainage and urban edge
conditions. Additionally, we approach their design with the
understanding that they should be designed and detailed
in a manner that provides a high degree of resiliency and
environmental stewardship. We seek opportunities to
enhance localized ecologies, serve as opportunities for
education, and capitalize on strategies for Low Impact
Development in lieu of intrusive and expensive in-ground
engineered structures to treat as much localized stormwater
and site drainage where possible.
Lastly, we understand that budgets are a reality. As such, we
approach the design of parks with a long-term goal in mind:
to enhance the longevity of the public space without putting
a burden on the realities that sometimes can limit issues of
maintenance and continued investments. Our extensive
experience with municipalities has taught us one critical
fact: no City has an endless stream of revenue dedicated
to maintaining public spaces that are designed with fragile
elements. Robust, well-detailed and well-specified choices
of materials, planting and elements guarantee that the public
improvements can hold up to extensive use, maintenance
crews, and maintenance regimes.

CGA developed the master plan for Vista Park which is adjacent to Cypress Bay High
School. With multiple ball fields, playgrounds and winner’s circle, this active park
is heavily utilized by Weston residences. Ocampo & Associates, Inc., the project’s
architects provided services for a maintenance building, concession stands, and
public restrooms. The Park accommodates active recreational pursuits including
four baseball fields, four soccer fields, concession buildings, and restroom facilities.
Passive needs were met through the creation of a waterfront greenway fronting an
existing canal, connecting picnic areas, fishing stations, and park elements through
a densely shaded corridor.
CGA provided site planning, grading and drainage design, permitting, irrigation
and construction administration services, including bidding and permitting. In 2009,
the City of Weston asked CGA to provide a master plan for the development of the
Phase II area of the park. Some of the planned elements of the park’s expansion
included tennis and basketball courts, a fitness trail, and a possible skate park.

Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. was selected by the City of Fort Lauderdale
to provide planning, design, and construction services for the addition of three
new soccer and lacrosse fields at Mills Pond Park. The existing park located at
2201 NW 9th Avenue (Powerline Road) has three (3) lighted soccer fields, one (1)
unlighted soccer field, and five (5) lighted softball fields. The improvements to the
park include three (3) new fields and all associated sports lighting, drainage, and
irrigation, as well as a future restroom/concession building, new parking, walkways,
and landscaping. Originally, the City staff and the park’s stakeholders had indicated
their desire to have at least two (2) of the three (3) fields be synthetic turf, and to use
organic in-fill material instead of black rubber in-fill material for them.
Working with the City and stakeholders, CGA prepared six (6) configuration options
for bidding purposes per the City’s desire to see what layout would fit within their
construction budget. The City ended up choosing the option with three (3) artificial
turf fields and a future restroom. In addition, the City of Fort Lauderdale wanted to
continue their emphasis on Sustainability by incorporating Green Design principles
such as LED sports lighting, innovative drainage solutions, permeable pavers, and
Florida Friendly Landscaping. One of the main reasons that CGA was selected for
this project is its excellent team of sub-consultants.
The team consisted of Sports Turf One for sports field expertise, Lakdas/Yohalem
Engineering for structural engineering, and Nutting Engineering of Florida for
geotechnical. Construction of the project began in January 2017 and completed in
February 2018.

Calvin, Giordano and Associates, Inc. (CGA) was selected by the Greater Boca
Raton Beach and Parks District to provide design, permitting, bidding and
construction management services for the conversion of three existing natural
grass fields to synthetic turf fields at Patch Reef Park. The project included the
design for the installation of synthetic turf fields, the drainage system under the
new fields, relocation of existing utilities, sidewalk improvements, relocation of
existing landscaping, and modifications to the irrigation system. The new synthetic
turf fields feature a totally organic mix of in-fill material, which means there is no
black crumb rubber on the fields. The new fields also feature a new automatic,
underground irrigation system that will greatly assist the park staff in keeping the
field moist, which is a requirement for the organic in-fill material. This irrigation
system can also be utilized to keep the fields cool in the summer months. The fields
were designed to serve multiple sports, including football, lacrosse and soccer. In
order to construct the new fields, several existing Sabal Palms had to be relocated,
major modifications were made to the existing irrigation system in the park, and
new landscaping was added. The CGA team also provided complete construction
administration and inspection services throughout the construction of the project.
The fields were closed on March 2019 and two of the three fields were re-opened to
the public in September 2019, and the third field was re-opened in December 2019.

Activating parks is a critical and fundamental necessity to
guarantee that they don’t end up being relegated as left-
over, residual space.
We believe that the activation is not contingent on the
designer selecting elements and placing them on the site
arbitrarily. Instead, we approach park design from the
understanding that parks are truly community parks, and,
in order for them to fulfill that role, the decisions need
to be driven by a well-integrated strategy of community
engagement steered and moderated by the design team.
Additionally, the activation of the public realm needs to
engage programming opportunities and efforts provided by
the Park and Recreation Department, and they need to be
well integrated into their immediate surroundings and with
the perimeter land uses. Incorporating these considerations
in the design and detailing of the park will ensure that they
remain places that the community can continuously relate
to, find continual use of it, and be imbued with a sense of
communal ownership that helps to promote use and safety.

Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) was contracted by the City of Miami
Gardens to design a pedestrian trail within Rolling Oaks Park and to provide a safe
route through the surrounding neighborhood to connect the new trail in the park
to an existing walking trail in the Dolphin Center Park located three quarters of
mile away. The design for the trail included new outdoor fitness stations, seating
areas, and LED site lighting. A study was conducted by CGA to determine the
best route for the walkway through the neighborhood and what improvements
would be needed. New crosswalks are being added along with a solar powered,
on-demand pedestrian crossing signal where the trail leaves the park. A custom-
designed way-finding signage program was developed for all of the trailhead
signs, directional signs, and mile markers. This afforded the City of Miami Gardens
a unique opportunity for branding within the community. Besides determining the
best route through the neighborhood, the CGA team had to carefully plan the route
for the trail through the park so as to not disturb the hundreds of existing Live Oak
trees on the site. Using GPS technology, the CGA team worked out the best route
for the trail in the field, and then returned to the office to translate those points
into the final alignment for the pathway. In addition, the existing drainage permit
for the site had to be modified for the trail improvements. These new drainage
facilities also had to be carefully planned to avoid removing any trees. CGA also
provided construction administration services for the project, which was completed
in November, 2014.

Iconic architectural elements are important components that
brand the public space and create references for memorable
experiences. We also recognize that they are increasingly
also a way to market and promote the public space. We
approach the incorporation of inspirational architectural
elements from the stand-point that they should serve two
main functions: memorialize the history and ethos of place
and engage users’ needs while satisfying their desires and
aspirations. To do this, we incorporate architectural elements
as a tool to create and enhance the sense of ‘100%-location’,
or what we could call the ‘selfie moment’ - moment of high
desirability.
While serving to communicate the values and identity of
the community, creating moments that people want to
document as an integral part of their experience and one
which they will post on social media is a way to embed a
self-promoting marketing strategy into the park’s design to
strengthen its role as a destination location, while solidifying
its relationship and meaning with the community. This is
achieved by aiming to create design excellence, including
fine grain architectural detailing as a integral component
of achieving a high quality outcome for this project. This
will be essential in achieving a human scale, providing visual
interest, diversity, and creating features that makes the
collective space unique and strengthen the users’ ties to it
over time.

The CGA design team’s approach to the County’s request to convert and expand
an existing sand-surfaced playground was to propose a design solution that not
only provided for the requirements, but also push beyond the notions of the
project simply as a playground, and instead approach the project with the intent of
providing a nature-based, educational proposal that speaks to the potential of the
project area and provide a space for children and family’s to grow.
Nature-based play increases play value, child development through stimulation,
health benefits and also environmental sustainability and stewardship. This
playground proposal specifically focused on highlighting the natural history and
lessons of change about the planet, and importance plate tectonics had in specie
evolution. The project consists of two playground pockets binded together through
a central plaza that is focused on immersing the children through a geological
timeline that highlights critical milestones in the development of natural history.
The plaza also has educational signage that is color-coded to a stamped concrete
layer that explains the several layers of the earth.
The playground components reflect different movements of the earth through
landform design, sensory engagement, mounded topography, and the introduction
of planting pockets. Creating this sense of reveal exemplifies the several tectonics
the earth has.

The principal function of the bridge is to provide pedestrian access across the
canal, as well as it is designed to provide access to emergency vehicles as a bypass
to Collins Avenue during periods of heavy traffic congestion.
The CGA team approached the project first as a ‘place’ and a pedestrian amenity,
and second as an emergency access last. The design was centered on creating
a park-like setting with planting and seating that would appeal to pedestrian
use and would promote lingering. A strong branding strategy was embedded
within the hardscape design that reinforced the concept of using infrastructure as
a recreational asset and in turn has established it as a landmark within the City.
The project included several work efforts adjacent to the bridge, including the
construction of an observation deck in Town Center Park, located at the eastern
end of the canal, and a boardwalk connecting the deck to the North Bay Road
bridge. Associated drainage, roadway, utility, and hardscape improvements were
made along 174th St. and 172nd St. to account for the increased drainage and
other impacts to the surrounding infrastructure.
The project involved intensive coordination with regulatory agencies, utilities,
government entities, and local stakeholders. The CGA team was able to procure
all necessary permits to conduct the work on schedule.

The CGA design team’s approach to the Village’s request for a community Dog Park
was thought of as the cornerstone for an opportunity to advance the limited open
space available and create a destination for the community. CGA embarked upon
a site selection analysis in order to find the most-appropriate location. A priority in
the design was to provide lighting, benches, and bike racks to encourage visitors
to stick around and socialize with one another. The dog park was split into two
sections: one area for large dogs and a separate area for small dogs. The design
incorporated behavioral signage, self-locking double gate entry features, donated
benches from the community, and proper drainage and grading infrastructure.
A large component of the grading of the site was to incorporate a bioswale
detention area. This LID (Low Impact Development) strategy allows for not only a
collective drainage system, but also allows for the treatment of stormwater quality
while adding a vegetative quality and habitat.
Service included are, but not limited to: surveying, conceptual renderings and
3-dimensional modeling, full construction drawing services, site layout and detailing,
site grading and drainage, planting, irrigation, and construction administration
services.

The Delray Beach CRA’s 2002 Downtown Master Plan identified NW/SW 5th Avenue
as the mid-point along Atlantic Avenue, between Interstate I-95 and the downtown
core. The plan recommended the creation of twin public plazas on the northwest
and southwest corners of the intersection to serve as a new neighborhood center
and gathering place for the community as a whole.
CGA designed the plaza on the Northwest corner which consists of landscape
features and pedestrian amenities. The design also included colorful terrazzo and
keystone pavers similar to the Libby Wesley Plaza (SW corner) of intersection, and
includes four bronze emblems featuring fire rescue motifs. Green building elements
such as permeable pavers and native vegetation were also incorporated into the
project. The design allows for seamless integration into the Atlantic Avenue corridor
while still honoring the unique civic identity of the Fire Rescue Headquarters.

CGA was retained by North Bay Village to create a conceptual design strategy to
convert a large, under-utilized lot into a community park that creates an atmosphere
where residents can gather. With a prominent lack of open space throughout the
village, the park’s principal feature would be to provide the open space needed for
recreation, leisure, and entertainment as a destination for its residents.
Located next to the Village’s Treasure Island Elementary School, a prominent
proponent to the programming of the park is guided by children’s accessibility and
play. The conceptual design included the addition of a fully synthetic turf soccer
field, a children’s aquatic play area, a future dog park, and a cohesive trail system
that improves the connectivity to the site and throughout the main nodes of the
island. The landscaped trail meanders around the soccer field and provides for
programmatic elements along its course that include vita course equipment for
exercise, park amenities, and educational wayfinding components that serve not
only the residents who are visiting but also tailor to the student community.

The project location was one block west of A1A on two streets along this coastal
business district. The center median space on NE 32nd Street contained a ten-
foot-wide planting space with existing trees and palms. The handicap spaces on
both blocks did not meet ADA so the improvements to pedestrian safety was a key
component of this project. On NE 33rd Street, a smaller median was in place which
had been planted with large Mahogany trees that were damaging the existing
curb, concrete walks, and asphalt paving as the roots of the trees were uplifting
the hardscape. These trees were permitted for removal and mitigation through
the City’s Department of Sustainability Design. The replacements for these trees
included the installation of a sub-surface root space system called Silva Cells which
expanded the root space below the asphalt parking area. This system provided a
sustainable planting method for the new native trees.
Bulb-out planting areas were incorporated into the design at the west end of each
block to improve the pedestrian crosswalk condition for enhanced safety. Services
that were provided by CGA included landscape architecture, surveying, Civil and
Electrical Engineering and Construction Administrative services. Existing FPL
lighting was replaced with LED fixtures to meet code for pedestrian travel, and
new decorative lighting was installed to provide consistent aesthetics and greater
energy efficiency. Additional scope included new curbing, drainage, electrical
pedestals, and control panel upgrades. This important project ties to the iconic
Fort Lauderdale Beachwalk and oceanfront experience and provided much needed
sustainable improvements to this historic business district.

The streetscape edge component of this project is a very
important component, as the connection and integration
with the fronting neighborhood requires careful design
considerations and sensitivity.
Our approach to that connection would be to first recognize
that it will serve and operate as an urban edge to the park,
while also setting the tone and design quality expectations
that park visitors will have upon engaging that ‘edge.’ As
such, it needs to be one that is scaled appropriately to
define the park and serve as a viewing edge for public
surveillance. Secondly, we propose to approach the design
of that streetscape frontage as one that should be integral
and seamless with the public realm, blurring the boundaries
between the park and the street to create a shared amenity
that perceptually feels like an important public space.
Our approach to streetscapes is not to view them as vehicular
infrastructure, but rather as an opportunity to augment the
neighborhood as a community infrastructure. Streetscapes
can play a critical and vital role in pushing an agenda
through design to maximize every inch of the right-of-way
to enhance the pedestrian qualities and provide amenities
for greater walkability, while creating a highly-branded and
continuous experience, without compromising safety or the
need to accommodate utilities.

In partnership with Davey Resource Group and Calvin, Giordano and Associates,
Inc. (CGA) has developed an Urban Forestry Master Plan, focused on managing
the City’s trees into the future. The plan establishes a clear set of priorities and
objectives that aid in the management, maintenance, and future planting of trees
throughout the City by providing a sustainable and strategic framework.
CGA’s primary contribution to the master plan was the development of an
implementable ‘Tool Kit’ that advances the recommendations in the master plan to
generate standards that guide the roll-out of these. The ‘Tool Kit’ includes specific
case studies of unique conditions in the City that address the intersection of urban
forestry considerations with issues such as historic preservation, sea-level rise, and
community/neighborhood identities with a focus on satisfying the City’s goal to
have strategies in place to increase resiliency and climate adaptation. Additionally,
the ‘Tool Kit’ establishes acceptable plant palettes and the species’ most desirable
use-situations, as well as constructability standards for balancing adequate root-
growth zones with green infrastructure and urban streetscape build-out conditions.
Finally, the ‘Tool Kit’ establishes a street-tree prioritization plan to guide future
streetscape projects, examines and establishes a metric of measurement to define
“success” in future-planned City projects across several different departments, and
it establishes parameters to facilitate the cost estimating and planning for these
during the budget cycles and scope processes of each project.

Our approach to this project was one inherently about urban design and space-
creation. It was not simply a matter of beautification, but rather a process of
embedding the environment with value to take advantage of inherent, flexible
opportunities. We believe that these, in turn, will animate socialization, celebrate
the culture of place, and provide for a multi-functional framework. We seek to
capture the human experience, including mood, atmosphere, color, sound, tactility,
pleasure and light that characterizes the ethos of ‘place’ that lives at this intersection
of:
• Culture – with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery
and Science, and the Esplanade Park,
• Socialization – with the vibrant Himmarshee Street nightlife scene,
• History – with the campus of historical buildings, including the Museum of
History, Hoch Heritage Center, Philemon Bryan House, King-Cromartie House,
and the Schoolhouse), and
• Access and Connectivity – with the continuity of the Riverwalk as a major
destination linking the various waterfront properties.
Our goal for this project was to provide a design solution that results in products
that are resilient, innovative, creative, sensitive, inspiring, memorable, responsible,
interpretive, comprehensive, imaginative and visionary. We lead by design and with
design.

CGA recently completed the design, permitting (SFWMD, CBWCD, THISCD, BC-
HCED), bidding services and post design services for the Nova Drive Improvements
project (from Davie Road to University Drive) for Town of Davie. The construction
scope of work includes 2521 LF of Exfiltration Trench, 4067 LF of RCP (12” to
30” diameter), 75 storm inlets/manholes, regrading of swales, adding medians,
upgrading ADA compliance, signalization improvements, a new roundabout, bike
lanes, and associated roadway infrastructure improvements.
The eastern commercial end of the corridor was updated from a 3-lane section
to a 4 lane divided section with bike lanes and wide sidewalks while the western,
residential section was widened to accommodate bike lanes and/or sharrows. A
roundabout justification report with public outreach was required to permit the
roundabout in a non-traditional location within in the corridor with the purpose of
reducing speeds and allowing easy “u-turns”. The project also included upgrading
the signalization at the intersection of College Avenue and Nova Drive.

After the completion of the City’s Transportation Master Plan, Sunny Isles Beach
identified the intersection of Collins Avenue at 174th Street to be the most
dangerous within the City-limits. After receiving, from the Miami-Dade County
Transportation Planning Organization, a matching grant to conduct a study for this
project, the City approached CGA to manifest an alternate means of crossing the
hazardous intersection.
The CGA design team approached the design that breaks free from traditional
pedestrian bridges that transcend the illusion of a cage and create an elevated
park system, increasing pedestrian and vehicular safety. The design approached
the project as creating a destination and experience by branding it as a ‘park’ and
not just a ‘bridge.’ Instead of simply creating a connection from East to West, the
project should instead be thought of as a solution that creates an extension of open
space that envelops the bold ethos of its context, stapling the park as an iconic
and emblematic solution that increases connectivity and capitalizes on the vistas of
Sunny Isles Beach.
CGA is currently in pre-design phase as part of a team engineering the bridge for
construction.

City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
As an important component to the foundational phase of the project, our IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will conduct
conversations and dialogue with key stakeholders and the public. These conversations will help us identify specific
perspectives and points of view that need to be accounted for. This is such an important component of our process,
particularly because both identified project sites are large and immediately impact many residents. We believe
that honest, empathetic, and meaningful community participation will bring about equitable approaches to the
project’s ultimate design, and it will help to showcase commonalities among the population that can serve as the
foundation for consensus-building and buy-in to ideas. For this primary reason we embrace this civic engagement
component of the park design process that the City has identified, because it truly gives us an opportunity to
understand how the public will use and benefit from the incorporation of design components and it is clearly
aligned with our values as a design firm, where we are focused on ensuring that design solutions are born of and
represent the needs of the community and not imposed upon them. Another key component that is achievable
through the public engagement process is to inspire the community with aspirational goals that everyone can get
behind, especially in an era where the public can be hyper-focused on what differentiates them versus what they
have in common. Our embracement of the civic engagement is further supported by our view that our role is
akin to that of mediators and active listeners, ultimately translating the public’s aspirations and desires into design
solutions that can be implementable.
INTEGRATED PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH APPROACH
Definition and Context
The City of Palm Desert will be embarking on a major initiative to create a dynamic new regional park at two
potential locations that will serve as new additions that will augment services accessible to the City’s residents
and visitors. This effort will include the construction of dynamic public spaces and could potentially include new
surface street connections, greatly improved pedestrian access, enhanced habitats, and a robust and innovative
park programming.
These additions to the City will be implemented through potentially two closely coordinated projects on two
separate sites: within the Millennium Specific Plan area (approximately 27 acres) and an alternate site located just
south with frontage on Frank Sinatra Drive (approximately 34 acres). The project will supplement services already
being provided by the City and will provide the foundation, framework, and structural support for new public
spaces for future, planned development, serving the entire City and region.
We understand that the City of Palm Desert aims to set a new standard for innovative and robust public
engagement with these projects. The projects will work in partnership with each other; subject to local, state,
and federal agencies; with project stakeholder’s input, including those of civic, community, and business leaders.
These partnerships will play a key role in ensuring that all Palm Desert residents are aware of the projects and have
a direct opportunity to help shape them.
Providing the public with a clear message about the “big picture” of what opportunities lie in these new parks and
how the two projects may contribute to the City is critical. We understand that both City projects are important
steps in the continued effort of the City to extend public space, passive activities and active uses offerings to her
residents and visitors. Therefore, the design and public outreach for the two projects will be closely coordinated
to eliminate potential conflicts and to appropriately direct public input.
TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO PROVIDING
SERVICES TO THE CITY
73Item 2B-124
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
To that effect, we will approach the public and stakeholders with an integrated approach to public engagement
and outreach for the two projects, describing the key elements and phases of that work, and beginning to identify
how success can be measured. With this approach we should be:
• Highlighting the unique opportunity ahead to create a great and amazing public space;
• Setting a benchmark for transparent project planning and delivery; and
• Reducing misinformation.
Shared Outreach and Engagement Goals
Our approach to public engagement and outreach needs to be outcome driven. This is an important criterion
to ensure that goals are established and that their achievement and implementation are guided by a clear action
plan and are measurable. These goals, ultimately, will be arrived at during the project via a collaboration between
the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team, City Staff, Key Stakeholders, and the Residents. While the list of goals will
be defined through an engagement process, its important have a base start of commonly acceptable goals
that can serve as the basis for consensus-building. These universal goals will serve as ‘home base’, if conflicts
or disagreements happen between parties, as they will set the overall tone for the engagement and outreach
processes and discussions.
We are taking the liberty to respectfully suggest some universal goals as follows, with the full understanding that
once under contract, these will be further tailored and modified accordingly to appeal to the nuances that define
the Palm Desert ethos and any unique issues/considerations the City is confronting:
• Mobilize interest and establish positive momentum for the design process. Generate excitement for
opportunities these projects afford to improve the natural environment and human experience.
• Communicate Best Practices and Guiding Principles to good, safe, and valuable public space design and
engage the public in using these to help develop innovative design solutions and ideas that can appeal to a
wide audience.
• Articulate the relationship between the two projects in the context of a shared vision for the future, including
potential connectivity between them for pedestrians and cyclists, thereby planting the seeds that these two
parks could serve as the basis for a system of interconnected parks.
• Meet and exceed public involvement regulations associated with environmental processes and permits for all
projects. To that end, communicate necessary separation of projects.
• Clearly articulate which components of each project are available for public influence and provide multiple
opportunities and avenues to receive input.
• Embrace the diversity of perspectives and audiences by expanding our reach to include any under-represented
populations and building bridges between differing opinions.
• Foster partnerships to support the developing vision for the park(s) and generate enthusiasm for early
implementation.
• Build support and trust for a design and construction process that may not be ever-present in the residents’
day-to-day considerations through a paced approach to public outreach and engagement. Communicate
the goals and key milestones of the process, share new information in a timely and relevant way, and keep a
comprehensive record of how public input has shaped the process and outcomes.
• Galvanize support for programming and use strategies through a broad-based understanding of the need for
and results from this park planning effort.
Once engaged in the process of developing the specific Community Engagement and Outreach Plan for the
project, the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will work closely with the City to develop a cumulative process that will
enable relationships and trust to build and strengthen over time between the various parties involved. Early in the
process, the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will partner with City Staff to establish a framework for developing the
Community Engagement and Outreach Plan that will be adopted. To that effect, the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team
74Item 2B-125
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
will lean heavily on City Staff to assess and arrive at responses to the following questions:
• What level of participation is hoped to be achieved?
• Who are the known key stakeholders, and how does the Team go about identifying key stakeholders?
• What communications mechanisms does the City want to employ?
• What data resources are readily available to the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team, and what essential additional
resources are needed to be collected before the public engagement and outreach formally commences?
• Are there any limitations to the project or engagement process that need to be accounted for?
• How does the City wish to define ‘timely’ feedback and ‘timely’ resolution of next steps?
• What methods would the City prefer to exercise during the engagement events and for outreach efforts?
The answers to these questions will be incorporated into a framework of understanding that the IW+CGA NSRP
Design Team will use as a basis to strategize the details of the Community Engagement and Outreach Plan. Built
upon our experience, strategies for soliciting feedback will conform to one of two general ‘buckets’ of activities:
outreach vs engagement. Our way of defining these and recognizing their tangible benefits include:
Public EngagementPublic Outreach
Techniques, systems, and tools used to
inform and share information
Best used when raising awareness is the
desired outcome

Defining and Connecting with the Appropriate Audiences
Identifying the correct and appropriate audiences for the engagement process is critically important. The projects
have many audiences to consider in the community outreach and engagement process: those who will live, work,
and play near the identified project sites, as well as potential new stakeholders from that are moving in or that are
from around other areas of the City. These new stakeholders may include “hard-to-reach” populations and those
who have not participated to date in the previous public involvement efforts related other efforts the City has
attempted to engage the community with. Some of these audiences may include, but not be limited to, some of
the following: we will need the expertise of City Staff to fine-tune and finalize this list.
• Advisory groups
• Arts community
• Business community and major employers
• City boards and commissions
• City of Palm Desert departments
• Design community
• Educational institutions (organizational leadership as well as visitors of all ages)
• Elected officials
• Environmental groups
• Fire, police, and other emergency responders
• General public and future users of the new parks (not living or working in the area)
• Local, state, and federal agencies
• Media
• Neighborhood and community groups (including the many surrounding Home-Owners Associations)
• Owners of nearby construction projects (public and private)
• Parks maintenance and recreation management interests
• Potential project funding partners
• Residential community (localized)
• Social service providers
• Tourism interests
• Traditionally under-represented populations
• Youth/schools
An important component to the Community Engagement and Outreach Plan that will develop is to ensure equity
and inclusiveness in the process. As such, it will be important to identify and define any potential barrier to
engagement so that they can be considered in the planning of the process. Potential barriers may include:
• The capacity and ability of different stakeholders to participate
• ‘Hard to reach’ groups, such as young participants, the elderly, minority groups or socially excluded groups
• Levels of community infrastructure
• Contested or divided communities
• Gaps in information
• Language and literacy to access and comprehend outreach materials
Some of these barriers will require special attention and strategies to facilitate that everyone targeted has a voice
in the process. Overall, as we design the public engagement and outreach strategies, we will consider:
• What are the appropriate techniques and methods to be used given the nature of the park planning exercise?
• Are there needs for any independent facilitation?
• What are the best-suited locations and venues for conducting the engagement efforts?
• What are the number and type of engagement events that the City desires?
• What are the transport requirements, particularly for ‘hard to reach’ populations?
77Item 2B-128
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
• What are the childcare needs to facilitate participation?
• What is the format and content of communication and published materials?
• Is there a need for interpreters
The IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will partner with the City to develop a unique and specific array of engagement
events and opportunities to solicit feedback from the public. These strategies will be built upon and carefully
selected with the understanding that there is no silver bullet to a well-designed engagement and outreach process
and that there is no such thing as ‘a best’ strategy. Every method for reaching out to the community has its
strengths and weakness. As such, the overall strategy needs to account for the inherent limitations that each
method has. Based on our experience, we have found the following characteristics and qualities to be consistently
present in each of the following methods:
Questionnaire surveys can be undertaken to identify the needs and views of a large number of
people in a standard format. The main stages involved are:
• Defining the sample size and the type of information required;
• Deciding on the type of survey to be used (postal, drop and collect, telephone or interview);
• Survey design;
• Piloting the survey;
• Undertaking the survey; and
• Post-completion analysis of the results.
It is often best to use a short and concise questionnaire where people’s views on an issue are being
sought. Increasingly email and SMS (text) are being used to provide a variety of ways for people to
engage. These work best when a small number of questions are used and when views on a specific
proposal or issue are being sought.
Community Surveys
WEAKNESSES
• Need to be well designed and worded to
get ‘usable’ answers
• Large questionnaire surveys are time
consuming and labor intensive
• Information may be limited
• Do not offer any real sense of community
engagement or provide an opportunity for
people to exchange views
• Typical response rates are between 10-20%
STRENGTHS
• Can gain the views of a large number of
people
• Useful for obtaining quantitative data In
principle data can be compared over time
or with results from elsewhere
• Useful for identifying and evidencing need
78Item 2B-129
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Workshops and focus groups allow people to discuss their ideas in an open and relaxed atmosphere.
Workshops can take a variety of formats: they can be designed to exchange information; to discuss
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of an idea or project; to obtain ideas and
innovative thinking for a way forward for a project; or they can be specifically geared towards
prioritization and the production of an action plan. Focus groups by contrast are designed to
specifically concentrate on a single issue or a program of topics.
Workshops and Focus Groups
WEAKNESSES
• With small groups, it is difficult to be sure
all stakeholders or interests are represented
• Workshops can be dominated by articulate
and confident individuals if not carefully
facilitated
• Requires experienced facilitators
STRENGTHS
• Encourages active discussion in a welcoming
environment
• Time and resource efficient way of identifying
and clarifying key issues
• Conflict can be more easily handled in a
small group
• Can be designed for a specific purpose
• Can be directly targeted at excluded or ‘hard
to reach groups’ for example young people
or ethnic minorities
Public meetings can sometimes be the preferred method for our municipal clients, as they provide
an opportunity to consult with large numbers of people at one time. Meetings can be organized
to allow for small group discussion with oral feedback, as well. There are often opportunities for
participants to set or influence the agenda and to ask questions. Our experience has demonstrated
to us that small groups are an essential element of public meeting to conduct engagements in an
effective manner.
Public Meetings
WEAKNESSES
• Unlikely to be representative – not everyone
has the time or inclination to attend
• Attendance is often low unless people feel
personally affected or deeply concerned.
• Some people are likely to be inhibited from
speaking in a large group
• Traditional formats can limit audience
contribution and lead to conflict
• If a confrontational atmosphere is arrived at,
it may lead to poor media publicity
STRENGTHS
• Captures a large number of participants, all
in one clean sweep
• Enables large numbers of people to have
their say
• Provides an opportunity to explain processes,
give information and gather feedback
• Demonstrates openness and transparency
• Can attract publicity or be used as a launch
event
• Enables participants to develop networks
with other stakeholders
79Item 2B-130
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
There are a variety of web-based engagement processes to choose from, such as online discussion
forums and blogs, social media and networking, online surveys, ratings and digital voting. Web-
based activities enable people to choose where, when and for how long they want to participate.
Web-based Engagement
WEAKNESSES
• Some techniques may require a moderator
to manage comments, this can be expensive
and time consuming
• Excludes those without access to the internet
• Needs to be publicized to generate interest
• Some people may feel intimidated by the
technology, especially if the process to
provide feedback is too convoluted
STRENGTHS
• People can choose a convenient time and
place to participate
• Particularly useful for those who may be
homebound, such as caregivers, elderly
people, parents with young children, or
individuals with non-traditional working
schedules
• Can create debate and exchange of views
• Cost Effective
• Can reach large numbers of people
• Consumes less time than attending a
workshop or public meeting
A forum is a regular meeting of people who represent a group or organization and may be issue or
area based. Those involved typically comprise members of civic, political, professional, economic,
or social groups from a local area.
Forums
WEAKNESSES
• Often comprise representatives from
existing groups rather than individuals from
the community
• May become ‘talking sessions’ rather than
action-oriented
• Potential for them to become rule-bound
and bureaucratic
• Potential for confusion or conflict over the
respective roles and responsibilities of local
representatives.
STRENGTHS
• Regular events help to maintain
momentum, commitment and enthusiasm
and encourages wider participation as the
activities of the forum develop
• Can be an effective way of involving excluded
or hard to reach groups by creating an arena
directed towards the concerns of specific
groups
• Can address specific local concerns
80Item 2B-131
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Engagement stalls consist of outdoor displays located at places where people traverse in large
numbers or congregate, such as at important social organizations, centers of employment, and
commercial venues. They can include visual media such as idea or inspiration displays, which can be
used to capture the views and comments of large numbers of people. Maps and plans for an area or
project can be displayed and passers-by can be asked to comment on issues and themes, generate
ideas or vote for particular activities or facilities.
Engagement Stalls
WEAKNESSES
• Can generate a large amount of data
• Requires advance planning and preparation
• Requires several facilitators to engage with
people
• Event may be affected by weather conditions
STRENGTHS
• Can collect the views of large numbers of
people
• Interactive
• Engages and generates interest
• Can reach people who may not normally
participate
Roundtable discussions can be used as a tool for consensus building. They generally have multi-
stakeholder involvement, operate by consensus, and can generate cooperation to promote the
environmental, economic, and social sustainability response to the design issues on behalf of the
community. The basic premise is that all participants, from business interests to the local community,
are on equal footing.
Roundtable/Consensus Building
WEAKNESSES
• Their composition normally precludes
wider participation, such as academics and
professionals
• Requires considerable preparation
• Requires highly skilled facilitation strategies
and clear goals and objectives to be shared
between the Design Team and City Staff
• Possibility exists that it may be dominated
by a vocal few or interest if the composition
of the participants is not carefully curated
STRENGTHS
• People are brought together as equals
• Encourages open discussion and helps
break down barriers
• Confronts issues rather than people
• May produce innovative solutions
• Aims to create ‘win-win’ situations, rather
than ‘win-lose’ scenarios
81Item 2B-132
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Some lessons learned that we have obtained from previous projects where we have conducted engagement and
outreach include the following observations, which we will incorporate and account for in the development of the
Community Engagement and Outreach Plan:
• We will develop a plan that seeks to engage people early in the process;
• We have found that small group discussions are more productive than large group discussions;
• We will incorporate methods that strives to meet people where they are as much as possible;
• During discussions, we will strive to facilitate understanding, meaningful dialogue and neutral deliberation of
ideas and concepts;
• We will be responsive and appreciative of participants’ time and efforts;
• We will seek to identify existing inequities, use community expertise and communicate impacts;
• We will build accountability into the Community Engagement and Outreach Plan focused on follow-through;
• The plan will seek to balance and synthesize the voices of those who cannot attend meetings vis-a-vis those
that do attend and comprise the vocal few; and
• The plan will target a variety of venues and locations for engagement beyond relying only on large, public in-
person meetings, including online methods - such as surveys and discussion forums - and smaller.
Ultimately, we believe that the City of Palm Desert is going about this process in the correct way because we also
believe in the benefits that a sound, well-crafted, and sensitive Community Engagement and Outreach Plan can
bring about, and we are excited to be partners with the City in this endeavor. We know that together, the IW+CGA
NSRP Design Team and the City can capitalize on the benefits of the public process because:
• It makes the process and the projects more legitimate by allowing decisions to be arrived at through an open,
equitable and inclusive process, and it reflects the broadest and greatest good for the community as a whole;
• It creates a more informed community by disseminating information, fosters the daylighting of conflicting
ideas, highlights and prioritizes those aspects that are for the greater community good, as sets a foundation
for shared interests to flourish and materialize; and
• It generates support for the project, how it comes about, how its formulated, and it is informed by the
process, because decisions are generated with the focus of implementation and allows participants to see and
witness the results of their involvement.

City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
DESIGN APPROACH
When approaching the design for the two identified locations for a future regionally significant park identified by
the City, the IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will build upon public input with a holistic, research-based process that
includes careful review of historic and existing conditions to reveal and discover what inherent opportunities and
constraints exist to generate a high-quality, desirable, and well-articulated park design. Of note during the design
process will be an emphasis on the inter-relationships between key critical components: human experiences,
ecological issues and considerations and infrastructural systems needed to support a lively, vibrant, and desirable
destination park.
This initial and thorough analysis will set the foundation for how we approach the development of the design
resolution, resulting in a design solution that is uniquely tailored to the needs and ethos of the City of Palm
Desert and their residents. Additionally, ensuring the careful intersection of these design considerations will
serve to illustrate the performative qualities of each individual framework, while revealing necessary overlaps or
connections that are needed for the seamless functionality of the eventual park.
This is particularly critical with this project because the City has already identified that a desired outcome is that
the park have regional appeal, and its size and prominence in the community has the potential to serve as an
important catalyzing element and contributor to the continued investment in the City’s observable high standards
of living and the high quality of public spaces. The frameworks that we seek to identify and intersect through this
process will include:
• Economic realms – focusing on the planning related impacts of the future improvements and how they can
contribute to the overall development and economy of the area;
• Social realms – focusing on how the park project and its amenities, particularly its planned uses and programming,
can build stronger communities by providing opportunities for socialization, community-building, and ensuring
that equity is achieved in a manner that is multi-generational;
• Environmental realms – focusing on using the park and its facilities as ‘green’ lungs and sponges in the
area, facilitating greater carbon sequestration, heat island effect amelioration, and, critically, ensuring that the
selected park location is compliant with all CEQA requirements;
• Ecological realms – focusing on opportunities for wildlife habitat and the use of natural landscapes and
planting material for greater resiliency to the extreme desert conditions and that promote water conservation
and re-use;
• Hydrological realms – focusing on using the park and its facilities as passive sponges facilitating opportunities
for groundwater recharge, and low-impact development stormwater strategies; and
• Infrastructural realms – focusing on the needed systems to provide services, access, wayfinding, safety and
security, event opportunities, and future-proof components to ensure potential adaptation of the park to
remain relevant to ever-changing trends in park usage patterns.
During the development of a conceptual design approach, our IW+CGA NSRP Design Team will explore
opportunities to fulfill the untapped and innovative opportunities that will elevate the project beyond just a
standard park to a public space that seeks to become a cohesive component of the identity, character, and daily
life of the Palm Desert community.
Our Design Team will be dedicated to leveraging placemaking opportunities to help the City reinforce their
ongoing economic development efforts and provide tangible benefits through objective-oriented solutions that
can be implementable. A critical component of this is to ascertain what are the key success metrics that will
generate creative, consistent, and high-quality programming. This will generate a transformative project with a
wide array of amenities and uses that serves as a destination, while showing respect to abutting property owners
and their concerns for access, safety, security, and privacy.

Once the design process is underway, we will make efforts to iterate design solutions and test them through the
public outreach process to arrive at solutions and a vision that is supported by data and consensus. The goal here
will be to push the envelope, find opportunities to innovate, and encourage discussion among residents in the
face of new and exciting possibilities. In communicating our designs, our Design Team will be respectful, frank,
deliberate, and transparent.
OVERALL SCOPE OF WORK FRAMEWORK
General Services – Services needed to administer the project and deliver it to the client. These include general
project management services, Quality Assurance and Quality Controls processes, coordinating with subconsultants,
etc.
Foundation Data-Collection Phase – Collecting all necessary background and foundational data needed to provide
the services and generate a design.
Public Outreach Process – IW+CGA Team will engage in a public engagement process in partnership with the
City. This will include the preparation of a Public Engagement and Outreach Plan, with a focus on obtaining
the most inclusive and equitable process as possible. An outcome of the engagement process will be to define
program, approach and design components for the two park sites in question, as well as generate a series of
outcome-driven action plans that are to be implemented in the conceptual design phase to follow.
Conceptual Design Phase – IW+CGA Team will work closely with City Staff to develop the conceptual plans that
identify the size, location and metrics of the many components that need to be included. The objective of the
conceptual plan will be to provide layout strategies to-scale on a surveyed base, identifying the final programming
and uses of the future park, and finalizing all the areas and inter-relationships of uses and components to be
included. This will also serve as the basis to define and perform any added CEQA compliance needs and processes.
Schematic Design Phase – Based on the approvals and directives of the Conceptual Design, the IW+CGA Team
will further develop the design under Staff direction to the point that it meets the criteria for submission to the
City Council for approval. This Phase will include an Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost to the proposed
plan’s cost against the expressed estimated construction budget of estimated funding noted for park and off-site
improvements. These efforts will be considered the 30% Design Plans, including cost estimates.
Design Development Phase – Development of construction plans and detailing to a level of completion consistent
with 70% completion of the final construction plans. This phase will be based on the sign-off and approval of the
Schematic Plan. Sign-off will serve to memorialize consistency with the design intent, as it was presented to and
approved and/or directed by the City Council at the completion of the Schematic Design Phase. In addition, the
IW+CGA Team team will assist in all permitting required for the construction of the park.
Biddable Documents Preparation Phase – Development of construction plans, construction detailing, and
specifications up to 100% completion level and the preparation of technical specifications, where needed, to
provide to the City in preparation of the bidding process.
Bidding and Awarding Assistance Phase – The IW+CGA Team will be assisting City Staff in the preparation of
the bid award process, including the preparation of the bid tender form for inclusion in the solicitation package,
assisting in the drafting of comparable past experience requirements to be required of prospecting bidders,
distribution of the bid packages, provide responses to Request for Information (RFI) that may result in the issuance
of addendums during the bidding phase, verifying comparable work, and issuing an analysis with an overall
evaluation of the bidders accompanied by a recommendation for award.

City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Construction Support Phase – The IW+CGA Team will satisfy the scope items listed in the RFP to include all
elements without exception. In order to meet these commitments, we embed our organizational structure,
communications, and delivery into a seamless process, generally categorized into four (4) larger themes:
• Project Coordination
• Project Financial Oversight
• Pre-Construction Phase
• Construction and Project Close-out
The IW+CGA Team approach to ensuring that complex design and construction projects get delivered through
good, solvent project management involves the deployment of proven strategies that will be utilized by the
design team. Together these comprise our approach to project coordination and are based on six (6) critical steps:
KEY SCOPE CONSIDERATIONS
STEP 1: DEFINING THE CRITICAL PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS
Defining the critical success factors is our first step towards ensuring that we understand, as a team, what the
ultimate expectations are of the project at hand by the public, elected officials, staff and stakeholders. This
understanding underpins all decisions that will be made and will help to guide the metrics for the project, and
the ability to derive this understanding comes from a close collaboration and open dialogue between the various
parties shaping and guiding the project. Specifically, in the case of this park development, decisions about what
the final outcome of the project should need to be made through an ample exploration of all the options on the
table, tempered and informed by the direction obtained either from the City and an outreach component to
include the community that will be impacted and catered to. We recognize that as it stands, the selected park
location provides a great and unique opportunity to:
• Provide connectivity to the direct, and indirect, urban context;
• Establish an integrated, unique, and resilient community-focused identity; and
• Activate the spaces with multi-generational and community-strengthening opportunities.
Our goal is to align these opportunities with the directives and values of the Community, as they may well serve as
opportunities to augment what the project has to offer and make it a key highlight project for the City.
STEP 2: DEPLOYING THE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT TEAM MEMBERS TO INNOVATE
We believe that the seamless collaboration of the project team with City Staff will be the most successful driver for
the success of the project, and we have selected the appropriate people to ensure that we can deliver the best
solutions to satisfy this project successfully. While having the right people is important, we go a step beyond by
capitalizing the offerings of knowledge, experience, and ideas each team member offers through collaborative
processes of ideas and solutions development. This empowers each team member and City Staff with the ability
to bring issues to the table to identify and resolve design conflicts early on. Long-term, over the life of the project,
this results in a smoother transition from design to construction and in a dramatic reduction of conflicts during
construction. It ensures that we meet the expectations of the Palm Desert community, whom we are there to serve.
85Item 2B-136
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Building upon how the critical project success factors are defined, the IW+CGA Team will have routine collaborative,
in-house design sessions to identify the various opportunities where the metrics and desires for the projects can
be achieved, track progress, and ensure that any competing and conflicting issues are met. We would encourage
the participation of City Staff at key milestones to ensure that design decisions and recommendations are being
made in light of the needs and desires of the City - factoring both issues of design, operations and maintenance.
It is through a collaborative, real-time response design strategy that the Team will generate workable solutions.
STEP 3: CHARTING A WORKFLOW AND A CRITICAL PATH THAT IS CUSTOMIZED AROUND THE SPECIFIC,
UNIQUE ISSUES OF THIS PROJECT
Upon award of the project, IW+CGA Team will meet with City Staff to clarify specific requirements of the project
scope, specifically the City’s vision, residents’ and community requests, commitments, and define the measurable
performative outcomes for design that will deem the project a success. The Project Manager (PM) will prepare
and submit a project schedule to the City. Once the detailed scope and schedule are approved by the City, they
will be provided to the IW+CGA Team members at an internal project “Kick-off Meeting.” The primary purpose
of the “Kick-off Meeting” will be to:
• Clarify the Quality Control/Quality Assurance requirements to be followed;
• Discuss the critical design elements affecting the overall schedule; and
• Review methods to ensure effective communication is maintained throughout the design process.
In conjunction with all necessary design research, document acquisition and inventorying; the project team will
perform a design survey, while simultaneously beginning the utility coordination process by sending out utility
information request letters to all utility owners within the project limits. Additionally, coordination with key
stakeholders, facilitated by City Staff, may also occur at these early stages to introduce the Project Team to the
key community members and begin the public outreach process.
Once all the information has been assembled through the inventory and data collection phase, design schematics
and analyses will begin. Site visits to the park to confirm utility and survey information, as well as to familiarize
the Project Team with the controlling design elements and issues that the community may have already expressed
concerns about. These site assessments prove to be critical throughout the life of the design project, and thus
is something the Team will engage in periodically. A design strategy will be developed to convey a theme that
will support a branding strategy. Once approved, that conceptual design will be further developed through the
schematic design phase, where additional detail and preliminary engineering will be conducted. The schematic
plans will be utilized to begin the pre-application process with the review and permitting agencies, as well as
any relevant stakeholders. Once City Staff and the stakeholders’ input have been obtained, the Project Team
will enter the design development phase and permitting process. Throughout the design development phase,
all intricacies of the design strategy will be further development for constructability. The construction plans
will be developed incorporating all the design components developed and approved throughout the project’s
schematic and design development phases. Once the client and regulatory agencies approve the final design, the
construction documents will be finalized and issued for bidding. Throughout the process, the Project Team will be
involved in multiple meetings with the City to be sure the project is moving in the intended direction, conforms to
required standards, and remains on schedule.
STEP 4: FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT STRATEGY
Understanding the financial model (where the funding is coming from, the sources of expenditures, and any
potential limitations placed on the design) is important to the success of this project. In order to achieve this, the
86Item 2B-137
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
Team will carefully track the project construction’s estimate from the early stages of the project and iterate them
with additional detail commensurate with the level of details of the design or construction plans. This is critical
to, as current market costs change daily and are severely impacted by shortages of materials and interruptions
to supply chains. Additionally, any specific allocations will be identified and the specific improvements eligible
to be expensed to those sources will be ear-marked and identified for good project accountability. Appropriate
contingencies will be included and utilized during the early stage cost estimates to account for level of detail that
is not yet completed. The contingency will reduce as the plans approach construction document quality.
STEP 5: PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Develop Project Action Plans and Milestone Schedules: Actionable, result-driven project management strategies
guarantee success, as they provide opportunities to quantify the efficiency and goal-fulfillment rates of the
Team. We will generate these action plans by discipline and ensure that they become an embodiment of the
critical project success factors identified together with staff during contract negotiation and the kick-off process.
Nevertheless, in conducting preliminary research to prepare for this RFP response, we have already ascertained
the following for each component:
Urban Design and Community Outreach: The Project Team will inventory the existing site conditions, analyze the
park design, and evaluate opportunities to provide overall enhancements that can improve the potential issues
available through design innovation opportunities, especially as they impact fronting properties and nearby or
adjacent uses, such as the schools.
Civil/Roadway/Drainage Engineering: A possible design consideration that is available within the existing
conditions includes the opportunity to provide sustainable, low impact development solutions: both in grading,
drainage, and planting. Existing conditions will be analyzed and assessed in order to be brought into compliance
as part of the project. Additionally, close coordination and collaboration with our Team’s traffic engineer and
urban designer will occur in order to thoroughly explore all opportunities for streetscape improvement elements.
Traffic Control/Maintenance of Traffic during construction of the improvements is a critical scheduling and design
component.
Utility Coordination will rely on obtaining design tickets and identifying Utility Agency Owners/Providers (UAO)
with facilities within the project limits and initial field reviews conducted in an effort to identify potential conflicts
or limitations. Early and proactive communication and coordination with the UAOs is a critical element in this
process, as sometimes the UAOs can suffer from delays in responsiveness. The coordination effort will focus on
early identification, conflict avoidance and planning for utility adjustments and relocations as-needed. The Project
Team fully understands the necessary commitment and level of effort involved to successfully complete this task
so it does not hinder the design process or construction schedule.
Traffic Engineering: The action items that will be addressed under this component will revolve around ensuring
that the design solutions are compliant with applicable standards, where needed, and where opportunities for
innovation can be accommodated. These will include considerations on design strategies for traffic calming, the
design requirements for incorporating bike usage, safety enhancements for pedestrian connectivity, and strategies
for potential improvements at the two book-end intersections, as they dead-end at the North Sphere Regional
Park.
Lighting: The park will be in need of lighting. Pedestrian scale lighting, performative lighting, and up-lighting
for landscaping and street lighting will all be considered for their practicality and for their adherence to an overall
design aesthetic package to achieve a new image for the park. Our team has experience coordinating for service
87Item 2B-138
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
point upgrades or relocations, where necessary. Additionally, selection of efficient LED fixtures with full cut-off
and ease of maintenance and upkeep will be an important consideration that will be taken into the design, while
considering the brand and identity the City envisions.
Planting and Experience Design: The planting design palette will include considerations for the human experience
and the recognizable, memorable quality that can be achieved through good design articulation. In developing
the design, the Project Team will take special care to evaluate green design and sustainable alternatives, informed
by specialized research on the site’s conditions, hydrology, and site characteristics. An important objective will
be to implement landscape strategies and streetscape improvements that foster increased pedestrian safety,
promote good tree and canopy coverage and health, and upgrade community aesthetics that employ the
practices of water conservation (through the use of Xeriscape principles and appropriate plant detailing to ensure
proper root-growth and preventative infrastructure impacts), as well as ensuring that the benefits of sustainable
stormwater management practices through the use of landscaped bio-swales, pervious pavement systems, and
other strategies can be capitalized upon. Additionally, the careful selection of planting to minimize the need for
irrigation or long-term maintenance will be supported by prioritizing plant species that are native and/or have
extreme- and high-tolerances for drought.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Throughout the design process, the Team will monitor and report on the
progress, schedule, and cost estimates. Additionally, throughout the design process, the Team will implement
our Quality Assurance/Quality Control process. This process consists of a peer review procedure, where a design
group of internal third-party, in-house professional designers, not directly involved with the project, will review
the plan documents with a fresh perspective. They will make observations and generate comments that will need
to be further addressed and resolved by the Project Team. The multi-disciplined review process also consists
of a constructability review by a member of the Construction Department. This review specifically ensures that
the plans make sense from a construction perspective and is intended to minimize potential conflicts, errors or
omissions in the field during construction.
STEP 6: CONSTRUCTION AND PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
Bidding and Construction Administration: The IW+CGA Team has experience assisting our clients in all aspects
of bidding, including assistance during bidding, attending the pre-bid meeting, creating minutes, addenda
preparation, responses to contractor RFI’s and review of the bid package for recommendation of the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder.
As the design professional of record, we will provide the necessary support to provide post design services.
Once the contract is awarded, post design services include a hand-off meeting with the City and construction
administration leader, a pre-construction meeting with the contractor, review and approval of shop drawings,
responses to RFI’s, and support to the Construction Project Manager, as-needed during construction.
The IW+CGA construction team is prepared and committed to provide expert services such as contract negotiation,
implementing quality control and assurance programs, contract document review, shop drawing logging and
review, administration of contractor RFIs, observation of field activity to assure construction is completed in
accordance with construction documents, environmental and NPDES monitoring, field report and documentation
review, as-built review and record drawing preparation, agency/permit closeout documentation, and certifications.
Project Close-Out: After substantial completion, each discipline from the IW+CGA Team may conduct an on-site
inspection and create a punch list log for the Construction Project Manager. The Construction Project Manager
will then review the log, compile all disciplines, and submit to the contractor for action/correction. Simultaneously,
88Item 2B-139
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
the Project Team may work with the contractor to review the project as-builts, warranty submittals, as well as any
operating/owner’s manuals required for the specific product. After reviewing the final, approved as-builts, the
Design Team will work towards submitting the record drawings to the permitting agencies in order to close-out
any/all open permits. Lastly, the IW+CGA Team may compile a final report and a presentation to the Commission
to memorialize the completion of the project.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION
It is important to note that the IW+CGA Team’s philosophy and corresponding process to assure quality in all our
designs and work products integrates the following key components:
Initial Quality of Design: The first step of the QA/QC process is to ensure that the design is of a “high initial
quality”. In other words, the preliminary design is one that has been carefully thought through and analyzed by
an experienced pard designer.
Multi-discipline Peer Review: The next step in the QA/QC process is the performance of a multi-discipline peer
review. This phase is undertaken by a team of designers from various disciplines within the core team so that
potential improvements or innovative ideas can be introduced to further improve the initial design.
Design-Decision Documentation: Documentation is an important part of all projects. It is critically important to
fully document the assumptions, reasoning, metrics, and calculations that are all leading up to any key design
decisions made on a project, particularly if safety issues are involved. The documentation not only provides good
records, but it presents another opportunity to ensure that the project is well-aligned with the goals and objectives
that it needs to meet..
Constructability Review: The constructability of a project is an important facet to consider during each phase
of design development. When a preliminary design is nearing substantial completion (70% plans), an in-house
constructability review by our in-house Construction Experts is completed.
Value Engineering: All projects will require some amount of value-engineering. An integral part of the design
process is to produce a cost-effective project for the owner or client at all stages to eliminate the need to perform
large component cuts at the end of the project. This is also important to ensure that the Team manages the
expectations of the community and that the teams makes promises that can be delivered.
Schedule and Budget: Budget and schedule controls and QA/QC practices are essential with any project. Both
IW’s and CGA’s many repeat clients attest to our capabilities to meet time and cost budgets, often completing
projects ahead of schedule and below budget. We believe that in addition to using state-of-the-art estimating
and scheduling software, a well-trained and experience team of Project Managers is essential in predicting where
problems may occur or arise, so we can be proactive in addressing their potentiality.
Controlling Costs to Minimize RFIs and Change Orders: Conflicts during construction and the generation of
RFIs and Change Orders are generally a result of a lack of either proper and adequate investigation of the site’s
constructability issues or a lack of adequate coordination among and between the various parties contributing
to the development of the overall construction set. Both IW and CGA take a ‘head-on’ approach to both of
these potential conflict areas by understanding that there are weak-points that could potentially result in costly
corrections during construction. From the onset, our approach to the development of proper and adequate design
investigations is fundamental to setting the process on the correct course. Thorough and adequate surveying, utility
documentation and sub-surface investigations are an absolute essential component of the technical foundation of
any project. While design ideas and iterations are being developed by the creative design team, utility coordination,
cost explorations with utility companies and infrastructure analysis are conducted to evaluate their impact on the
89Item 2B-140
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
future design and cost. This will identify opportunities to highlight potential risk factor in the implementation of
the project. Once the project development enters the technical plans development phase, collaborative design
meetings are held routinely with all parties involved. The creative design team will be present to ensure that
the vision of the project remains integral to the design solution, while scenario-building for each of the various
conflict areas are highlighted and resolved among the various contributing professional disciplines. Depending
on the complexity of the project, plans are routed, at a minimum, at 30-60-90% intervals of development through
our in-house quality control process, where third-party reviewers from various disciplines assess and evaluate the
information on the plans and seek for potential conflicts so they can be identified and resolved. At times, these
third-party reviewers are in-house staff that are not directly related to the given project’s team. Because both IW
and CGA have a large contingent of municipal plans reviewers on hand serving various different municipalities,
these key individuals are generally the ones reviewing the plans at each of those 30-60-90% intervals. However,
for more complex projects, before plans get to the formal 30-60-90% interval reviews, interim ‘standing plans
review’ meeting are held, where process plans are reviewed collectively among the technical design team in
anticipation of the formal review and to which at least one third-party engineer is involved.
These internal processes are a large contributor to minimize and eliminate potential conflicts in construction that
are design related. RFIs and Change Orders cannot realistically be entirely omitted from any project. Contractors
will always submit RFIs in a persistent search to minimize expenses on their side, facilitate their constructability and
maximize their profitability. Additionally, sometimes because of expedited scheduling or lack of initial resources
on the client’s side, corners may be cut at the initial investigation phases of the project that ultimately result in
unforeseen circumstances during construction. While either of these cannot be entirely omitted, our in-house
process ultimately creates enough familiarity with all project components by the various contributing team-
members that resolutions can be addressed promptly and in a manner that is generally economically favorable to
the client.

City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
COST ESTIMATING
CGA’s predominant services have been entirely public-sector-driven, and as such we fully understand that cost
overruns are a huge burden on the public procurement process and our clients’ ability to deliver a promised project
to the community within the allocated budget that has been adopted. As such, we approach cost estimating with
the understanding that it plays a viral role in the success of a construction project. As such, we understand that
proper cost estimating can:
• Improves plans;
• Saves money;
• Allows for better bid comparisons; and
• Reduces risk.
We believe that construction costs during the design phase should be as closely aligned to the expenses that the
potential contractor will have, as opposed to general ball-park costs arrived at by unit costs based on areas. These
costs should reflect:
• Contingencies and Variances to cover unexpected conditions that can arise or to cover cost increases that
can result from change orders, delays, inclement weather, or market volatility.
• Equipment: Mark-ups to reflect the cost of any specialized equipment that may be needed, given the
uniqueness of the project.
• Indirect Costs to reflect general conditions, permit and inspection fees, administrative expenses, overhead,
insurance requirements, bonding, security, and utilities.
• Labor Costs that are impacted by locally driven wages and their related costs factored by the number of
workers and the necessary hours of work, including overtime needed to meet the client-determined schedule.
• Materials Costs, with a key understanding of how market fluctuations and cost volatility can be accommodated.
• Professional Fees for any incidental specialty engineering components of any project element.
• Quality-related Costs that impact the budget, understanding that top-of-the-line finishes and material
selections, superior amenities can deliver an aesthetically impressive design but generally at a more expensive
cost.
• Other Incidental but critical expenses assessed on a case-by-case basis, such as environmental remediation,
demolition, disposal, or client-mandated requirements that impact construction, such as project phasing.
Costs are generally arrived at through careful research and at the confluence of various sources, depending on the
specifics of the project. In the past, CGA has relied on three (3) key sources:
• Historical Data: Many of our cost estimation methods have relied on historical data, such as the cost per
square foot to build past components in previous or ongoing projects, the average labor costs per hour for
trade specialties, and the units of work, such as the cost per element. Because CGA has various ongoing
projects in construction at any given time, in addition to having a strong and robust Construction Engineering
and Inspection (CEI) department overseeing the construction of projects designed by others, our capacity to
keep accurate and up-to-date tallies on costs is a resource that has proven reliable.
• Cost Research: In order to access the most current cost data, CGA has relied also on gathering contemporaneous
cost checks in order to increase accuracy. This can be achieved through our long-standing and working
relationships with various construction companies with whom we have performed past work with through
design-build partnerships. Where these don’t provide a reliable cost data-point, we will rely on publications
such as the Walker’s Building Estimator’s Reference Book and industry other databases, such as RSMeans,
91Item 2B-142
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
where they perform cost research by frequently sampling rates in hundreds of locations for labor, materials,
equipment, and contractor overhead. We have also relied on incorporating current cost indexes, which reflect
trends in prices for various construction inputs, as well as productivity and inflation via sources such as the
Turner Building Index modified for localized regional variances.
• Expert Judgment: The ability to quickly tap into expert judgment of our highly skilled and extensively
experienced staff, either internally within CGA or via our parent company SAFEbuilt, gives us an opportunity
safe-check costs and method-selection that impact costs.
CGA always relies on bottom-up construction cost estimating strategies, where we calculate total cost by adding
up the cost of each input on a construction project. This may seem taxing for the early stages of design iteration,
but when accompanied by a heightened contingency multiplier it generates a reliable and predictable forecaster
of the eventual costs. These contingency multipliers vary depending on the stage of project development:
• 45% During early conceptual design development phases
• 40% During schematic design development phases
During Design Development:
• 30% at the 30% construction plans iteration phase
• 20% at the 60% construction plans iteration phase
• 15% at the 90% and 100% construction plans iteration phase
These percentages are our given norm, but they can be modified depending on the complexity of the project.
Additionally, given the recent volatility in market costs for materials, CGA does not recommend calculating the
contingency for construction at less than 15%, even for small projects.
In order to improve the accuracy of our estimates, CGA can employ the utilization of a three-point estimate
methodology, whereby high-, mid-, and low-point unit costs are collected in order to generate a range of costs
that can help guide design decision-making. This has been incredibly valuable in some of our more complex parks
and open space projects where community input requests don’t align with the budget allocation that has been set
in place by the government agency. As such, they are an essential tool to not only forecast the potential cost of
specific components, but to also assist in conflict facilitation, community buy-in and design resolution through the
public outreach and design adoption processes.
92Item 2B-143
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE OF TASKS
We have evaluated the scope of work and have acknowledged that the City would like to have the project out
to bid in approximately 18-months’ time. In order to achieve this, we have carefully looked at the needs of the
project and have determined that it may be completed within the allotted time; however, this will be subject to
change, depending on the public engagement process. Given any situation, the IW+CGA Team is able to be
flexible enough to modify the schedule and resources needs to address any modifications to the scope or budget,
accordingly. The following is an anticipated timeline we envision would be an appropriate manner to deliver the
project within the 18-month timeframe. You will note that we extended the time period for the public engagement
to 1 year instead of the 6-months noted in the issued addendum. We believe that this additional time will assist
in providing the flexibility needed to hone in on what the community would like to see happen at both selected
sites, as well as account for necessary lead times to have items included in agendas and heard at pre-scheduled
Committee and Council meetings. While the public engagement process is underway, the IW+CGA Team will
advance tasks where possible simultaneously to ensure the schedule is met.

Fee Proposal
94Item 2B-145
City of Palm Desert, CA | RFP #744-23 | Planning and Design of North Sphere Regional Park
ASSUMPTIONS AND BASIS OF FEES STATEMENT
Please find the anticipated, proposed fee structure included on the following page. We understand that this fee
schedule is only an anticipated, suggested cost that we envision for the project. However,we also understand
because of the engagement plan and its deployment have not yet occurred, there are many unknowns that will
need to be resolved throughout the project phases and therefore may require modification of the anticipated fees.
The IW+CGA NSRP Design Team is ready and willing to work closely with City Staff to arrive at a more refined and
tangible fee schedule arrangement once these unknowns are daylighted.
In order to grant the City as much flexibility, we would recommend that the Public Engagement and Outreach
Plan and Process be tracked separately on an hourly basis with a maximum not to exceed of $98,120.00. By
establishing the engagement tasks of the contract under an hourly structure, the City and the IW+CGA NSRP
Design Team will not be tied to a lump sum amount, and if less of that money is used, then it translates to savings
for the City.
Separately, we would recommend that the Project Management, Conceptual Design, Construction Documents,
Bidding and Construction Support be tracked under a second contract, based on a lump sum fee. We are under
the impression that there may be a possibility where designs will need to be developed for both of the identified
sites. Although we understand that this may change as a result of the public engagement process, we needed
to make some assumptions in order to provide a cost proposal as requested by the City. The assumptions reflect
two possible scenarios:
• A 27-acre park at the Millennium Specific Plan area, PLUS a 5 Acre Community Park at the alternate site, PLUS
a connectivity plan between them, OR
• A 34 acre Park at the alternate site, PLUS a 3-acre Community Park at the Millennium Specific Plan area, PLUS
a connectivity plan between them
Overall, our assumptions are based on the possibility that these scenarios may result in approximately 40 acres of
new parkland to be developed. Based on historical data, we anticipate that the cost per acre for the new parkland
may be estimated at $265,000 per acre, resulting in an investment of $10.6 million dollars in park construction
costs plus a much needed 20% contingency to account for unforeseen conditions and the current volatile cost
escalations for materials and labor we are experiencing nationwide. This will result in a grand budget total of
approximately $12.72 million.
Based on the assumed construction cost of $10.6 million, our fee proposal for all tasks (excluding public engagement)
amounts lie within industry-acceptable standards. Generally, professional park design and engineering fees
(excluding public engagement) are estimated at approximately 10% of the overall construction budget, which
we are below. Furthermore, acceptable breakdowns for park design fees should generally follow the following
allocations:
• 5% allocated to Project Management, Quality Control
• 80% allocated to Design, Engineering, and Preparation of Construction Bid Documents
• 5% allocated to Bidding Services
• 10% allocated to Construction Support
Notwithstanding all the above, we reiterate that the included budget is being provided as a suggested cost
proposal, but will need to be further refined as we engage the City, narrow in on the scope and deliverables once
the public outreach process is complete, and finalize what the ultimate outcomes are. Towards that end, the
IW+CGA NSRP Design Team is willing to work closely with the City to refine these anticipated costs and scope to
meet the budgetary parameters established by the City.

Principal Engineer
OVERVIEW
Mr. Boyes has 43 years of environmental engineering and regulatory
compliance experience in the petroleum, mining, electric utility, aerospace,
defense, automotive, manufacturing, and semiconductor industries, as well as
public and private land use projects, such as infrastructure improvement, flood
control, mining, public health, and real estate development. He has worked
with numerous entities in California and other states on a variety of technical
and regulatory issues, including new construction and operating permits,
operating compliance programs, source compliance demonstration programs,
criteria and air toxics emissions measurements, ambient air monitoring,
meteorological measurements, criteria, greenhouse gas (GHG), and air toxics
emission inventories, air quality and GHG impact assessments, air toxics
health risk assessments (HRAs), risk and process safety management, site
assessments, hazardous waste source reduction, industrial wastewater
pretreatment, and GHG reduction strategies. He has extensive experience and
expertise in the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)-compliant documents,
including Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs).
REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
CEQA Air Quality/GHG Analysis and SJVAPCD Rule 9510 Indirect
Source Review for the New Modesto Courthouse, Stanislaus County, CA
– Mr. Boyes led the Yorke team that performed a comprehensive air quality
and GHG analysis of construction and operational emissions for the New
Modesto Courthouse, Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus, a
Judicial Council of California (JCC) capital project. Mr. Boyes calculated
CalEEMod emission estimates of criteria pollutants and GHGs with an
emphasis on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 10-micron particulate matter (PM10)
emissions pursuant to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
(SJVAPCD) Rule 9510, Indirect Source Review (ISR). Currently under
construction and planned to open in 2024, the 308,964-sqaure-foot
state-owned facility will replace seven different court facilities in Stanislaus
County, which is within the SJVAPCD. Rule 9510 required that NOx and
PM10 mitigation measures be implemented and that an off-site mitigation fee
be paid to the District to fund emission reduction programs in the San
Joaquin Valley. Yorke’s assessment determined that consistent with the
CEQA Class 32 infill categorical exemption for the project, consolidation of
the seven facilities into one location would not result in substantial
generation of new traffic and that only an incremental increase in mobile
source emissions would be expected from facility operation, thus resulting
in a reduced off-site mitigation fee borne by taxpayers. As part of the
evaluation, Mr. Boyes performed a statistical analysis of recent records of
court activity to inform what level of increased traffic would be reasonable
to assume for Rule 9510 off-site mitigation fee calculation purposes. Results
predicted a modest increase in court-related traffic over the long-term,
substantially below what would otherwise be the case for a new facility that
was not a functional replacement for existing facilities with a corresponding
lower mitigation fee.

CEQA Air Quality/GHG and Noise Technical Report for City Arts District Development Project, Los Angeles,
CA – An urban revitalization project proposed for a 0.7-acre site within the Los Angeles City Arts District in the
Central City North Community Plan Area included replacement of old warehouses with a new eight-story mixed-use
creative office building over three subterranean levels of parking, a rear yard enclosed event space, a café, and a
public-accessible club on the roof terrace. Mr. Boyes acted as the Project Manager and developed the Air
Quality/GHG and Noise Technical Report, which assessed the potential impacts of this project. In order to help
expedite project approval, Yorke staff also prepared a summary letter report to the Los Angeles Department of City
Planning that reviewed and synopsized Yorke’s analyses along with other consultants’ analyses of potential impacts
to historic resources and predicted impacts to local traffic.
Hollywood Tunnel North Portal Control Valve Upgrade, Metropolitan Water District (MWD), Los Angeles, CA
– Mr. Boyes prepared an air quality, GHG, and noise impact analysis of construction work necessary for upgrading
20th century water conveyance infrastructure that had deteriorated over time. The construction analysis was
performed using CalEEMod, the statewide land use computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for
estimating potential criteria pollutant and GHG emissions associated with both construction and operations of land
use projects under CEQA. Due to proximity of a sensitive receptor, health risks for construction were assessed
using AERMOD and Hotspots Analysis and Reporting Program, version 2 (HARP2) per the Air Toxics Hot Spots
Program Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments published in 2015 by the California Office
of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Construction noise impacts were estimated using the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) noise model linked to CalEEMod output equipment lists. The FHWA
noise model was configured to simulate attenuation caused by terrain and insertion losses in relation to a nearby
sensitive receptor in order to evaluate noise control measures.
Review of Air Quality and GHG Technical Report and EIR Sections for Pool Demolition Project, City of Los
Angeles, Bureau of Engineering (BOE), Rancho Cienega, CA – The City of Los Angeles, Department of Public
Works, BOE is the Lead Agency under CEQA for a proposed project to demolish the Rancho Cienega Celes King
III Pool building and pool and convert the site for other uses. Mr. Boyes verified the CalEEMod emissions modeling
runs and provided comments on the technical analyses, as part of an effort to peer review the air quality,
GHG/climate change, and hazardous materials sections of the draft EIR and the Technical Memorandum.
CEQA Air Quality, GHG, and Energy Analysis for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP)
Haynes Generating Station, Long Beach, CA – Mr. Boyes was the air quality, GHG, and energy technical lead in
support of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for LADWP. The project involved eliminating seawater
once-through cooling (OTC) and installing a wet cooling tower for the steam turbine portion of a 630-megawatt
(MW) combined-cycle generating unit at the Haynes Generating Station. Both construction and operational impacts
were analyzed. The principal air quality concern was PM10 emissions from operation of the cooling tower. Daily
mass emissions were estimated based on the maximum allowable concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) in
cooling tower water, recirculation rate, and drift droplet loss fraction. Use of recycled water for cooling tower
makeup and addition of water treatment chemicals for biological, corrosion and pH control, required that a South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Tier 1 HRA be performed to demonstrate that toxic air
contaminant (TAC) emissions from cooling tower operation would not exceed TAC mass emissions thresholds.
Project construction emissions were estimated using CalEEMod. The SCAQMD’s Localized Significance
Threshold (LST) methodology was used to evaluate the local impacts of NOX, carbon monoxide (CO), PM10, and
PM2.5 emissions from on-site construction equipment and vehicles. In addition to LST, an SCAQMD Tier 3 HRA
was performed to determine the health risk impacts of diesel particulate matter (DPM) from project construction at
nearby receptors. A GHG and energy analysis was performed for project construction and operation. The annual
electric power consumption of the cooling tower fans and pumps was calculated. Diesel and gasoline fuel usage
during construction was back calculated based on CalEEMod mass emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from off-road
and on-road mobile sources using Climate Registry emission factors.
CEQA Focused Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Automobile Dealership, San José, CA – Mr.
Boyes lead a team that performed a CEQA focused Initial Study (IS)/MND documentation and approval support
process for construction of a modern showroom and sales/management office building that replaced an obsolete
48-year old showroom building at a new car dealership in an “automobile row” setting. The goal of the project was
compliance with corporate brand recognition standards – function, style, and aesthetics. The focused IS/MND
133Item 2B-184
BRADFORD L. BOYES, QEP

analyzed impacts related to Air Quality, Biological Resources, GHGs, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise and
Vibration, and Transportation/Traffic. In addition to constructing the new two-level building (main and mezzanine),
the project demolished the old single-level showroom building for an unobstructed view of the new building from
the street and relocated the service entrance canopy. Of particular concern was how the project could affect the
nearby service building and its associated equipment, including disused underground storage tanks, active
aboveground storage tanks, chemical storage areas, and vehicle hoists. In the Hazards and Hazardous Materials
section, the service area was shown to be unaffected by the proposed construction activities. The focused IS/MND
approval enabled the City of San José permitting process for the project to proceed, comprising a site development
permit, a demolition permit, a tree removal/replacement permit, and other public works clearances.
CEQA Air Quality Impact and GHG Assessments for Land Use Development IS/MNDs, CA – Mr. Boyes evaluated
short-term construction and long-term operational impacts of new construction and expansions of residential units
(single family, apartments, townhomes), churches, retail stores, gas stations, recreational facilities, light industrial,
warehouse, medical, and office buildings in the California cities of Los Angeles (multiple communities), Cerritos,
Fullerton, Huntington Beach, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Riverside, San Bernardino, Lake Elsinore, Perris, Hemet,
Rancho Cucamonga, San Francisco, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Antioch, Goleta, Visalia,
and Templeton, with emphasis on sustainability. Mitigation analyses included identification and definition of public
transit, bicycle, pedestrian, mixed-use, parking supply, construction, and operational parameters. He estimated
criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from construction and operational vehicle traffic using URBEMIS (pre-2011)
and CalEEMod (since 2011). For recent projects, he assessed health risks from construction and operation using
AERSCREEN and HARP2 per the Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk
Assessments published in 2015 by the OEHHA.
Southern California Edison (SCE), CEQA/NEPA Support, Transmission and Communication Infrastructure
Projects, Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, CA – Mr. Boyes prepared emissions estimates and
documentation to support findings that construction of several proposed overhead transmission line and
underground cable projects would not have significant air quality or GHG impacts, and thus would not require
further review under CEQA and/or NEPA. The analyses involved the interpretation of project design and contractor
information and application of the CalEEMod to estimate mitigated and unmitigated emissions from construction
of the project components. One project included new and upgraded 220-kilovolt transmission lines, communication
lines and other reliability improvements at a refinery in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Two other projects
involved the installation of fiber-optic communication cables on existing rights-of-way, both underground and
pole-mounted, to support future solar energy projects in the Mojave Desert. The desert projects crossed Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) lands, requiring both CEQA and NEPA to be addressed. Reports were prepared in the
client-specified chapter format for insertion into a multi-disciplinary main report prepared by the prime contractor
that addressed all environmental impacts of the proposed projects.
Air Quality Impact, Risk, and GHG Assessment and Permitting for the East County Bioenergy Organics
Co-Digestion Project, Contra Costa County, CA – Mr. Boyes was part of a team that prepared an application for
an Authority to Construct (ATC) to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for the East County
Bioenergy Project that added organics co-digestion capabilities to an existing municipal wastewater treatment
facility operated by Delta Diablo in Antioch, CA. The overall goal of the project was to provide an innovative and
sustainable approach to organic waste handling and localized electric power generation. This was accomplished by
utilizing biomass to generate renewable energy, and thus reduce net GHG emissions. The project provided for
inclusion of food waste with sludge digester feed, increased digester gas production, and expanded pretreatment of
digester gas to remove moisture and impurities. Clean digester gas is combusted in two new combined heat and
power (CHP) spark-ignited internal combustion (IC) engine-generators controlled by selective catalytic reduction
(SCR) and catalytic oxidation. Two new enclosed flares were installed to improve digester gas management, and
a new air stripper/acid scrubber system was installed to reduce ammonia concentrations in liquid digestate. In
addition to GHGs, the emission quantification for the ATC application included the criteria pollutants NOx, sulfur
oxides (SOx), PM10, CO, and precursor organic compounds (POCs). Also quantified were TACs from the
combustion of digester gas in the new CHP engines and flares and ammonia from the new ammonia removal system.
The project was shown to comply with all applicable BAAQMD rules under New Source Review (NSR), including
an HRA.

Air Quality and HRA Technical Report and Supplemental EIR Sections for Propane Recovery Project, Contra
Costa County, CA – A prior EIR prepared by others for this project was determined to have insufficiently assessed
impacts related to rail transport of propane products produced by the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery. As part of an
effort to conduct a detailed inventory of rail transport emissions and HRA for the project for inclusion in a
Supplemental EIR, Mr. Boyes prepared the emission calculations for the locomotives, including apportioning the
train traffic throughout California, identified the CEQA significance criteria for 14 air districts, and helped with
drafting the Technical Report. The Technical Report and derivative EIR air quality chapter evaluated mobile source
emissions impacts outside the BAAQMD in order to provide a complete quantification and impacts analysis of
emissions that would result from the proposed project.
Community Background Risk, Air Quality Impact, and GHG Assessment for Refinery GHG Reduction Project EIR,
Contra Costa County, CA – Mr. Boyes authored air quality and GHG sections for an EIR that assessed the effects of
modifying a major refinery in the East Bay Area to reduce emissions of GHGs, criteria pollutants, and TACs. The
sections were designed to be generally consistent with other recent EIRs for refineries in Contra Costa County. New
and additional information was added, and appropriate updates and revisions made pursuant to guidance received from
the Lead Agency (County Planning) and the BAAQMD. In addition to the project HRA, an extensive community
screening analysis was conducted to estimate background risks from 29 non-project sources of TACs near the refinery.
The community background risks were added to the existing AB 2588 HRA results for the refinery at the same AB 2588
receptor locations to obtain cumulative total background risks near the refinery. Parameters evaluated for both residents
and workers were Maximum Individual Cancer Risk (MICR), Chronic Hazard Index (HIC), and ambient PM2.5 (µg/m3).
The BAAQMD’s Google Earth™ map community risk and hazards screening tools were used to identify the 29
stationary and mobile sources near the facility and their associated reference MICR, HIC, and ambient PM2.5 impacts,
which were then attenuated for actual distances to the AB 2588 receptor locations using Gaussian functions from
AERSCREEN. The screening results showed that the total community-wide background MICR, HIC, and annual
average background PM2.5 were below the CEQA cumulative thresholds.
Air Quality Impact, Risk, and GHG Assessment for Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (LGVSD) Secondary
Treatment Upgrade, Marin County, CA – Mr. Boyes prepared an air quality and GHG impact analysis in support
of a proposed upgrade to the LGVSD publicly owned treatment works (POTW) located in San Rafael, CA. The
construction analysis was performed using CalEEMod, the statewide land use computer model designed to provide
a uniform platform for estimating potential criteria pollutant and GHG emissions associated with both construction
and operations of land use projects under CEQA. Operational emissions from wastewater treatment processes were
quantified using emission estimation techniques (EETs) approved by the BAAQMD and other California air districts.
Health risks for construction and operation were assessed using AERSCREEN and HARP2 per the Air Toxics Hot
Spots Program Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments published in 2015 by the OEHHA.
Since the POTW is an existing stationary source of criteria air pollutants, TACs, and GHGs, only the net change in
operational emissions, i.e., post-project minus pre-project, was evaluated for CEQA significance. However, absolute
post-project TAC emissions were assessed for risk to nearby receptors.
Air Quality Impact and GHG Assessments for Mosquito and Vector Abatement Programmatic EIR, San
Francisco Bay Area, CA – Mr. Boyes developed and applied a comprehensive criteria pollutant and GHG emissions
model for estimating impacts of mosquito and vector control activities of nine service districts encompassing
Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey (northern portion), Napa, San Mateo, Sonoma, Solano, and Santa Clara
Counties. He quantified emissions from the combustion of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel used to operate a wide
variety of small and portable equipment, vehicles, and aircraft with respect to established thresholds of significance.
The analysis focused on mobile sources used in mosquito and vector control activities, including on-road fleet
vehicles (light- and medium-duty trucks, vans, passenger cars), off-road all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), watercraft
(motorboats, airboats), aircraft (helicopters and fixed-wing), portable equipment (pumps, sprayers, generators), and
small equipment (handheld sprayers, foggers, dusters).

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Ryan Gayler, Senior Project Manager
Andy Ramirez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: AWARD A CONTRACT TO RED HAWK SERVICES, INC., OF PERRIS,
CALIFORNIA, FOR THE NORTH SPHERE WIND FENCE INSTALLATION
IN THE AMOUNT OF $311,696 (PROJECT NO. 767-22)
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Award Contract No. C43400 to Red Hawk Services, Inc., of Perris, California for the North
Sphere Wind Fence Installation in the amount of $311,696.
2.Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a contingency for unforeseen conditions in the
amount of $30,000.
3.Appropriate $341,696 from unobligated General Fund Reserves to the Capital Improvement
Fund.
4.Authorize the City Manager or designee to review and approve written change order requests
for the use of contingency for unanticipated conditions within the approved contingency
amount.
5.Authorize the City Manager to execute the subject agreement.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
An informational item was presented at the July 14, 2022, City Council meeting regarding blow
sand issues caused by high-wind events. The report detailed the damage and disruption caused
by sand in the public right-of-way. The City Council authorized staff to advertise a notice inviting
bids for the North Sphere Wind Fence Installation project. The project will install a commercial
grade 6’ high chain link fence with screening material. The fence will be installed in the public
right-of-way adjacent to areas where maintenance personnel have observed the heaviest
concentration of sand in the streets.
The project was advertised for bids, and on August 8, 2022, four bids were received
electronically through OpenGov, the City’s bid management, portal with the following results:
The low bid was slightly higher than the engineer’s estimate of $300,000. Staff checked the
references from three projects recently completed by Red Hawk and the representatives
indicated that Red Hawk Services is a responsive contractor that constructs a high-quality
product. There were no change orders initiated by the contractor and the work was completed
on schedule.
Contractor Location Amount
Red Hawk Services Perris, CA $311,696
Econo Fence, Inc. Riverside, CA $392,700
AB Fence Company Beaumont, CA $406,098
C.S. Legacy Construction, Inc.Walnut, CA $527,450
Item 2C-1
City of Palm Desert
Award a contract for the North Sphere Wind Fence Installation
Page 2 of 2
Strategic Plan:
The proposed solution will further the goals of the strategic plan by providing a safe, efficient,
and reliable transportation system for residents and visitors.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project was not included in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal
Year 2022/23 since it came about as a result of unexpected circumstances. Therefore, staff
requests an appropriation from unobligated General Fund Reserves to the Capital Improvement
Fund of $341,696 for the contract amount of $311,696, plus a $30,000 contingency for
unforeseen conditions. The financial impact of this contract is expected to be partially offset by
the reduced burden to Public Works Street Maintenance.

CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction (“Contract”), No. C43400, is made and entered into this 25th day of
August, 2022, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal corporation,
organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at 73-510
Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the “City” and
Red Hawk Services, Inc., sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete
all of the Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified
in Article 5, below, for the following Project:
NORTH SPHERE WIND FENCE INSTALLATION PROJECT
PROJECT NO. 767-22
The work consists of the furnishing and installation of six-foot high chain link fence with fabric
screening at several locations in the north sphere of Palm Desert.
Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and its
surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work
required by the Contract Documents within 45 Calendar Days from the
commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed. By its signature hereunder,
Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is adequate and reasonable
to complete the Work.
ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and
including all applicable taxes and costs, the sum of Three Hundred Eleven Thousand
Six Hundred Ninety-Six and no cents Dollars ($311,696). Payment shall be made as
set forth in the General Conditions. The City will pay to Contractor compensation
based upon the prices set forth in the Bid Schedule.
ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every Day
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature
Item 2C-4
72500.00001\32656428.1 -2-CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s
actual damages. Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section
53069.85, it is agreed that the Contractor will pay the City the sum of $1,000.00 for
each and every Day of delay beyond the time prescribed in the Contract Documents
for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the
event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that amount from any
money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This Section
does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.
Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor,
Project retention or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's
surety. These provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of
Contractor's default, from terminating the Contractor.

insureds under such policies.
3. Primary/Non-Contributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and
any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be

umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision
Item 2C-8
72500.00001\32656428.1 -6- CONTRACT & BOND FORMS

4. Products/Completed Operations Coverage. Products/completed operations
coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion.
Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out
of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors,
the Policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy
shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to
defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy
shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The City,
its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional
insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.
5. City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under
this Contract does not comply with these requirements, or is canceled and not
replaced, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by
Contractor, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor
payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Contract.

and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, Red Hawk Services, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and

there shall be included costs and reasonable expenses and fees including reasonable attorney’s
fees, incurred by the City in enforcing such obligation.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Andrea Staehle, Human Resources Manager
REQUEST: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO IMPLEMENT THE CLASSIFICATION AND
COMPENSATION STUDY, APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE PALM DESERT EMPLOYEES’
ORGANIZATION (PDEO) FOR A COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT OF 3%
OR A LUMP SUM PAYMENT UP TO $3,500, AND APPROVE A COST-OF-
LIVING ADJUSTMENT OF 3% OR A LUMP SUM PAYMENT UP TO $3,500
FOR CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEE GROUP
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a resolution adopting authorized classifications, allocated positions, salary
schedule, and salary ranges as determined by the classification and compensation study
and rescinding Resolution No. 2022-61.
2. Approve an MOU between the City of Palm Desert and PDEO for a Cost of Living
Adjustment (COLA) of three percent (3%) or a lump sum payment of $3,500 for the Palm
Desert Employees Organization (PDEO) Group, effective July 1, 2022.
3. Approve a COLA of three percent (3%) or a lump sum payment of $3,500 for the
Confidential Employees, effective July 1, 2022.
4. Authorize the City Manager to take all actions necessary to implement the approved COLA
or lump sum payment for Confidential Employees and the PDEO Groups.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City and CPS-HR have been working through a classification and compensation study since
Fall 2021. The process included employee participation through interviews, creating a taskforce,
and providing an opportunity for employees to appeal, as well as transparency through recorded
meetings, placing items on the intranet, and constant communication. Additionally, the City
Manager directed staff to ensure that the last step of the City’s positions be paid at the first or
second place within the market basket. The results of the study and City Manager’s direction
provide:
• Increase in thirty-seven (37) positions (28 PDEO positions)
• Y-rating 22 individual employees (19 individual PDEO employees)
Additionally, City staff polled neighboring agencies to determine if the agencies were planning
to increase compensation, either by a lump sum or COLA, for the 2022/23 fiscal year. The results
of the study provided evidence that most cities were increasing compensation either through
COLA or a lump sum. Further research determined that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for
Riverside County increased 10% from March 2021 to March 2022.
On August 8 and August 10, the City’s negotiations team met with the PDEO Board and their

classification and compensation study, and a 3% COLA or up to $3,500 lump sum effective July
1, 2022. The purpose of the implementation of the classification and compensation study,
including compensation for employees designated as y-rated, and COLA or lump sum is to
establish a fair classification and compensation structure, retain employees, recruit new
employees, and respond to inflation.
For Confidential and PDEO Employees who have been designated as “over market” from the
study and therefore are y-rated, will receive a lump sum payment of $3,500. Employees who are
currently “in market” will receive a 3% COLA on the salary schedule.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approximate fiscal impact for the Class and Compensation adjustments, the 3% COLA and
lump sum allocations, including salary and benefits for the Confidential Employees and PDEO
Group is $325,630. The adjustments for the unrepresented group approved on July 14th and
this one total approximately $615,000. These adjustments were generously budgeted given the
number of unknowns at the time and ultimately reflect a total savings of $385,000 to the General
Fund.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Randy Bowman, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: ADOPT COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
GUIDELINES FOR LEVEL OF SERVICE AND VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED; AND CVAG ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION DESIGN
GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution adopting County of Riverside Guidelines for Level of Service and Vehicle
Miles Traveled for the City of Palm Desert.
2. Adopt a Resolution adopting Coachella Valley Association of Governments Active
Transportation Design Guidelines for the City of Palm Desert.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the May 12, 2022, City Council meeting, City staff requested direction from the City Council
regarding several prospective City code updates, including the two policies that are the subject
of this report. The City Council concurred and directed staff to proceed with preparing the
necessary documents. Staff is presenting separate staff reports for updates to the landscaping
code and encroachment permit code.
County of Riverside Guidelines. Historically, cities used vehicle delay and congestion (“Level
of Service”, or “LOS”) as the standard to evaluate projects’ transportation impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). In 2013, the California passed Senate Bill 743,
which required the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research (“OPR”) to identify new metrics for
identifying and mitigating transportation impacts within the CEQA guidelines. OPR selected
Vehicle Miles Traveled (“VMT”) as the standard to assess transportation impacts under CEQA.
The shift to VMT is intended to meet the State’s objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
promote the development of infill land use projects and multimodal transportation networks, and
encourage land use diversity within developments.
In December 2018, the California Natural Resources Agency certified and adopted the new
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 that identifies VMT as the most appropriate measure to
evaluate a project’s transportation impacts under CEQA. The City will continue to require LOS
analysis for General Plan consistency and transportation planning purposes while requiring VMT
analysis for CEQA compliance.
To address the change per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, the Public Works Department
has been evaluating transportation impacts in line with the Riverside County Transportation
Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service and Vehicle Miles Traveled, which provides procedures
to evaluate transportation impacts of land use projects.
Item 2E-1
City of Palm Desert
Adopt County of Riverside and CVAG Guidelines
Page 2 of 3
CVAG Guidelines. On December 6, 2021, Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(“CVAG”) Executive Committee adopted Regional Active Transportation Design Guidelines to
help local agencies plan, design, and maintain bicycle and pedestrian facilities. City staff
assisted CVAG in creating these guidelines and would like to adopt them for use in the City.
Strategic Plan
The proposed Resolutions and adoption of the VMT and Design Guidelines would support the
following priorities of the Strategic Plan:
• Economic Development Priority 4: Expand and raise awareness of business-friendly
services in order to retain and attract business.
• Land Use, Housing & Open Space Priority 5: Utilize progressive land use policies and
standards to support ongoing and future needs.
• Tourism & Marketing Priority 1: Improve access to Palm Desert and its attractions to
enhance the ease of lifestyle.
• Transportation Priority 3: De-emphasize single/low-occupancy vehicles and optimize
multiple modes of travel (bus, carpool, golf cart, bicycle and pedestrian).
Discussion
County Guidelines. The Guidelines adopted by Riverside County in 2020 provide guidance
to review land use projects and to ensure compliance with both the General Plan goals/policies
and SB 743.
The Guidelines include a five-step analysis: (1) evaluate the land use type; (2) screen for non-
significant transportation impact; (3) identify significance measure and threshold; (4) VMT
analysis for non-screened development; and (5) mitigation measures.
By adopting the County Guidelines, the City is adopting policies to meet General Plan Goals.
For example, under General Plan Chapter 4, Mobility, Goal 1 Livable Streets, Goal 6 Sustainable
Transportation, and Goal 9 Regional Coordination, adopting the VMT Guidelines is consistent
with the following policies:
• Policy 1.2 Transportation System Impacts. Evaluate transportation and development
projects in a manner that addresses the impacts of all travel modes on all other travel
modes through the best available practices.
• Policy 1.3 Facility Service Levels. Determine appropriate service levels for all modes of
transportation and develop guidelines to evaluate impacts to these modes for all related
public and private projects.
• Policy 1.5 Transportation Network Consistency. Perform a formal evaluation of any
transportation projects to verify consistency with the goals and policies in the General
Plan prior to approved funding for those projects.
• Policy 6.1 Fair Share Costs. Require that new development pay for its fair share of
construction costs related to new and/or upgraded infrastructure needed to accommodate
the development.
• Policy 6.2 Multi-Modal Impacts. Develop and apply funding mechanisms that require fair
share contributions for impacts to all modes of transportation associated with
Item 2E-2
City of Palm Desert
Adopt County of Riverside and CVAG Guidelines
Page 3 of 3
development or redevelopment.
• Policy 9.1 Regional Vehicular Traffic. Be mindful of local impacts from regional “through”
traffic. Consider but don’t prioritize the movement of through vehicles through Palm
Desert roadways.
• Policy 9.2 Regional Roadways. Coordinate with Caltrans, RCTC, CVAG, and other
agencies on the planning, design, and construction of regional roadways to provide an
appropriate level of regional connectivity.
Active Transportation Design Guidelines. On December 6, 2021, CVAG Executive
Committee adopted Regional Active Transportation Design Guidelines to help local agencies
plan, design, and maintain bicycle facilities. These Design Guidelines are largely adapted from
current national bicycle design guidance and accepted industry practices. CVAG intends the
design guidelines to be a living document, with periodic reviews and updates, ensuring
representation of best practices and emerging technologies.
The City participated in the development of the guidelines and staff recommends adopting the
guidelines into the City’s standards to be used when constructing or improving public
infrastructure. The proposed Resolution would adopt the Active Transportation Guidelines for
use in the City. The Active Transportation Guidelines provide direction on all aspects of bicycle
and pedestrian facilities, such as pavement markings, types of bike lanes/shared roadways,
intersection treatments, driveway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, intersections, and bicycle
parking.
Since the County of Riverside and CVAG may need to amend their documents over time, the
proposed Resolutions incorporates future amendments to stay current with these documents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adopting the recommended resolutions has no financial impact on the general fund.

WHEREAS, the Palm Desert City Council has established Local Guidelines for
Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act for City of Palm Desert (Local
CEQA Guidelines); and
WHEREAS, the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (14 Cal. Code Regs., § 15000 et seq. “State CEQA
Guidelines”) encourage public agencies to develop and publish generally applicable
“thresholds of significance” to be used in determining the significance of a project’s
environmental effects”; and
WHEREAS, State CEQA Guidelines, section 15064.7(a) defines a threshold of
significance as “an identifiable quantitative, qualitative or performance level of a particular
environmental effect, noncompliance with which means the effect will normally be
determined to be significant by the agency and compliance with which means the effect
normally will be determined to be less than significant”; and
WHEREAS, State CEQA Guidelines, section 15064.7(b) requires that thresholds
of significance must be adopted by ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulations, developed
through a public review process, and be supported by substantial evidence; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 743, enacted in 2013 and codified in Public Resources
Code, section 21099, requires changes to the State CEQA Guidelines regarding the
criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts of projects; and
WHEREAS, in 2018, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (“OPR”)
proposed, and the California Natural Resources Agency certified and adopted, new State
CEQA Guidelines, section 15064.3 that identifies vehicle miles traveled (“VMT”) –
meaning the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project – as the
generally appropriate metric to evaluate a land use project’s transportation impacts; and
WHEREAS, as a result, automobile delay, as measured by “level of service” and
other similar metrics, generally no longer constitutes a significant environmental effect
under CEQA; and
WHEREAS, State CEQA Guidelines, section 15064.3 went into effect on July 1,
2020, though public agencies may elect to be governed by this section immediately; and
Item 2E-4
Resolution No. 2022-_____ Page 2

Guidelines, section 15064.3 as the standard for determining significance of transportation
impacts; and
WHEREAS, the County of Riverside adopted Transportation Analysis Guidelines
for Level of Service Vehicle Miles Traveled on December 15, 2020 (“County Guidelines”);
and
WHEREAS, the County Guidelines are applicable to Palm Desert in that they use
appropriate VMT thresholds and provide a five step analysis for determining traffic-related
impacts in line with General Plan goals to properly evaluate land use projects, use
appropriate transportation systems management, develop appropriate mitigation if
needed, and coordinate with other jurisdictions in the region to evaluate traffic impacts
when planning and designing regional roadways; and
WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert wishes to adopt the County Guidelines, that

report in support of the County Guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Palm Desert City Council
as follows:
SECTION 1. In its capacity as lead agency, the City of Palm Desert City Council
has evaluated adopting the County Guidelines to determine whether their adoption is
subject to environmental review under Public Resources Code, section 21000 et seq.:
“CEQA”. The City Council for the City of Palm Desert hereby finds and determines that
adopting the County Guidelines is not a project within the meaning of Public Resources
Code, section 21065 and State CEQA Guidelines, section 15378. Adoption of the County
Guidelines would not lead to a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the
physical environment. Adoption of the County Guidelines is an administrative activity of
the City. Specifically, the County Guidelines provide guidance to property owners, project
developers, applicants, and proponents for determining the significance of transportation
impacts of land use and transportation projects under CEQA. The County Guidelines do
not approve any specific development and would not lead to any particular physical
change to the environment. Thus, adopting the County Guidelines is not a project under
Public Resources Code, section 21065 and State CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b)(5).
For these reasons, adopting the County Guidelines is not subject to further environmental
review under CEQA.
SECTION 2. Based upon substantial evidence set forth in the record of
proceedings, including but not limited to the August 25, 2022, City Council Staff Report
recommending adoption of the County Guidelines, the City of Palm Desert hereby adopts
the County Guidelines, for measuring project transportation impacts under CEQA, which

Resolution No. 2022-_____ Page 3
are attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference. The County
Guidelines shall supersede and replace any existing transportation thresholds in the City
of Palm Desert’s current Local CEQA Guidelines. The City recognizes that the County
Guidelines may need to be amended over time and therefore hereby adopts future
amendments to the County Guidelines to stay current on screening tools, analysis
methods, and mitigation strategies.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
SECTION 4. The documents and materials that constitute the record of
proceedings on which these findings are based are located at City Hall for the City of
Palm Desert, located at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California. The City Clerk
is the custodian of the record of proceedings.

PAGE 3 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
INTRODUCTION
The County’s General Plan requires that traffic and circulation impacts of proposed development
projects, General Plan Amendments, and Specific Plans be analyzed. The traffic impacts of proposed
developments are to be analyzed through the preparation of a “Traffic Analysis” or “TA” prepared in
conformance with Riverside County Transportation Department “Transportation Department”
requirements. The TA must be prepared, signed and sealed by a Traffic Engineer or a Civil Engineer
registered in the State of California, qualified to practice traffic engineering “Engineer”. Guidance
included within this document describes the required content, format, and methodology that is
generally required to be utilized in the preparation of a TA, which is subject to the review and approval
of the Transportation Department.
The TA will continue to require the level of service (LOS) analysis to maintain consistency with policies
contained in the County General Plan. The passage of SB-743 requires a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
analysis to assess the impacts required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.
This document will provide guidance for both the LOS and VMT analyses.
The contents of this document are general guidelines and the Transportation Department has the
discretion to modify the TA requirements based on the unique characteristics of a particular project.
Item 2E-11
PAGE 4 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
NEED FOR TRANSPORTATION ANALYSES
The purpose of the Transportation Analysis Guideline is to provide instructions for analyzing projects
in compliance with (1) the County’s General Plan policies and (2) transportation related Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) analysis as required under CEQA.
As the County of Riverside continues to develop both residential and employment generating uses, an
emphasis on transportation network capacity will be needed. Levels of Service (LOS) analysis will
largely be the determinant to assess capacity and operational deficiencies of County roadways. In
order to maintain consistency with the General Plan, projects are to identify deficiencies and provide
recommendations to meet level of service targets.
All projects, whether public or private, requiring a discretionary approval trigger the CEQA review
process. The objective of this process, in part, is to identify significant environmental impacts,
including those from transportation impacts. Under CEQA guidelines, VMT is the principal measure for
determining transportation impacts. Where necessary, projects will be required to prepare a VMT
analysis to identify project impacts and mitigation measures.
OVERVIEW OF PROCESS AND PROCEDURES
For development projects, two analyses will be required: (1) LOS analysis for General Plan consistency
and; (2) VMT analysis for CEQA compliance. Not all projects require both analyses. The Transportation
Department determines the need for a TA in compliance with CEQA guidelines and General Plan
policies.
Transportation Analysis Process
The process of preparing a TA begins with accessing and reviewing the Transportation Land
Management Agency website. The website provides access to the County’s General Plan as well as the
application for a TA scoping agreement. Applicants must fill out the application and submit it along
with the scoping agreement and initial deposit to the Transportation Department.
Scoping Agreement
Figure 1 presents a framework to determine when LOS analysis and VMT analysis would be included
in a scoping agreement for a TA. The Transportation Department will ultimately determine the
required types of analyses required for the TA through its review of the scoping agreement.
Item 2E-12
PAGE 5 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
Projects that meet the screening criteria, discussed later, will not be required to prepare a detailed
VMT analysis. Such projects would typically still be required to prepare a LOS analysis, with exceptions
outlined in the Traffic Analysis Exemptions.

The scoping agreement provides the following key points in order to establish the scope of the TA:
• Determination of study area, intersections, and roadway links to be analyzed.
• Project trip generation, distribution, and assignment.
• Use of other approved projects for background traffic, traffic growth assumptions, or
integration with RIVTAM/RIVCOM, or other travel demand models approved for use by the
Transportation Department.
• For those projects located within a City’s Sphere of Influence or adjacent to a city, the Engineer
shall also solicit comments on the scoping agreement from City staff. The Engineer shall
submit all comments received from City staff to the Transportation Department for review and
consideration.
• For projects within one-mile of a state highway, or any project that may create a deficiency on
a state highway, the Engineer shall coordinate with Caltrans.
• Identification of unique transportation issues that may be specific to a project’s design or
location related to queuing, sight distance, other safety issues, transit, pedestrian, bicycle,
access, adjacent land uses, etc.
The Engineer shall submit the scoping agreement to the Transportation Department for review and
obtain approval before the preparation of the TA.
Item 2E-13
PAGE 6 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS EXEMPTIONS
Certain types of projects, because of their size, nature, or location, are exempt from the requirement
of preparing a LOS analysis. The types of projects that are generally exempt from preparing a LOS
analysis are described in APPENDIX B.
The Transportation Department, at its discretion, may require that a TA be prepared for any
development, regardless of size, if there are concerns over safety, operational issues, or if located in an
area that has significant traffic related deficiencies.
Item 2E-14
PAGE 7 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
LEVEL OF SERVICE
ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The Level of Service analysis is required to maintain traffic operation performance in accordance with
the General Plan policies.
Intersections Analysis
The Transportation Department requires the use of the most recent version of the Transportation
Research Board Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) for both signalized and unsignalized intersections.
Refer to APPENDIX C for the default input parameters to be utilized. When analysis parameters are
not specifically provided in this document, the Engineer determines the appropriate parameters
subject to review and comment the Transportation Department. Any uncertainty should be resolved
during the preparation of the TA in consultation with the Transportation Department.
Roadway Segment Analysis
The Transportation Department may require that analysis of roadway segments be conducted in
certain cases, such as when intersection analyses are not the controlling factor or for general planning
purposes. Roadway segment capacities are provided in APPENDIX D.
Establishing the Study Area
In general, the minimum area to be studied shall include any intersection of 2 or more “Collector” or
higher classification streets, at which the proposed project will add 50 or more peak hour trips, not
exceeding a 5-mile radius from the project site. The Transportation Department may require deviation
from these requirements based on the location.
Analysis Scenarios
The TA shall include the following analysis scenarios:
1. Existing Conditions. Existing traffic will be counted to determine current conditions. Traffic
count data shall be new or recent. In some cases, data up to one year old may be acceptable
with the approval of the Transportation Department. Any exception to this must be requested
prior to approval of the scoping agreement.
2. Project Completion (Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project). Traffic conditions prior to the
time that the proposed development is completed will be estimated by increasing the existing
traffic counts by an appropriate growth rate to be provided by Transportation Department
staff, projected to the year that the project is estimated to be completed. Traffic generated by
Item 2E-15
PAGE 8 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
the proposed project will then be added, and the impacts on the circulation system will be
analyzed. This will be the basis for determining deficiencies as a direct result of the project
implementation. The TA shall provide recommendations necessary to address the identified
deficiencies. The Transportation Department may choose to incorporate the recommendations
as conditions of approval for the project.
3. Cumulative (Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project plus Cumulative Projects). Traffic
generated by other approved projects in the study area shall be identified and added to the
Project Completion traffic identified in Scenario 2. This may also include projects that are
proposed and in the review process, but not yet approved.
4. Project Phasing. Traffic conditions at each project phase completion are to be analyzed using
the same approach as for the project completion year, if applicable. Traffic associated with
each previous project phase shall be included in the analyses of each successive phase of the
proposed project.
General Plan Amendments and Specific Plans
Development proposals that also include a General Plan Amendment to Land Use or Circulation
Elements, Specific Plan, Zone Change or other that increases traffic beyond what was approved in the
General Plan will also be required to perform a Build-out Analysis to assess long-term deficiencies.
This analysis will determine if the Circulation Element of the General Plan is adequate to accommodate
projected traffic at the target LOS, or if additional improvements are necessary. A phasing plan for all
Specific Plans that identifies necessary improvements for each development phase is required.
The following analysis scenarios should be included for Build-out Analysis:
5. Horizon Year No Project Conditions. This represents traffic conditions at an identified
horizon year (typically coinciding with the forecast horizon year of the RIVTAM/RIVCOM travel
demand forecasting model).
6. Horizon Year plus Project Conditions. Project traffic added to Scenario 5 identified above
(Horizon Year No Project Conditions).
Data Collection, Trip Generation, Trip Distribution
The following recommendations pertaining to traffic count collection, project trip development, and
traffic forecasting methodologies have been developed to maintain consistency across different TAs
and reflect the current state of the practice.
Traffic Counts. Data for existing traffic conditions should be collected for the project using the
following guidelines.
Item 2E-16
PAGE 9 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
• Peak period turning movement counts at all study intersections, roadway segments (if
required) and/or driveways, including bicycle and pedestrian counts at intersections with high
non-automotive use, should be collected. For intersections with high percentages of trucks,
turning movement counts should count trucks separately.
• Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for all roadways within study area (if required) and vehicle
classification counts in areas with a high percentage of truck use.
• Traffic counts should not be used if more than one year old without prior approval.
• Traffic data should not be collected on weeks that include a holiday and non-school session
time period unless approved by the Transportation Department.
• Traffic data should not be collected between Thanksgiving and the first week of the New Year
without prior approval.
• Traffic counts should be conducted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays.
• For congested conditions, back of queue estimates by approach (and turning movement)
should be conducted every 15 minutes.
• Traffic counts should not be collected in an active construction work-zone.
Unless directed otherwise by the Transportation Department, traffic counts should be collected during
the following timeframes presuming the time period captures the beginning and end times of any
congested conditions.
• Morning (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM).
• Afternoon (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM).
• Midday and school-release peak hours – as directed by the Transportation Department.
• Other peak hours, off-peak hours, weekend, or special event periods may also be required
based on the project location and type of use.
Under circumstances where traffic counts would be collected under atypical conditions (significant
economic downturn, pandemic, etc.) that may result in altered trip patterns or traffic volumes, traffic
count collection details should be approved by the Transportation Department prior to being
undertaken. Depending on the circumstances, it may be preferable to use historic count data, use
factored historical data, big data sources, or other acceptable estimation techniques allowed by the
Transportation Department. Traffic count data should be included in the study appendices.
Trip Generation. Trip generation may be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual (latest edition). Other trip generation sources may be used with the
approval of the Transportation Department. For land uses not included or with a limited sample size in
the ITE Trip Generation Manual or other published sources, local trip generation surveys should be
conducted for at least three similar project sites following the methodology contained in the ITE Trip
Generation Handbook. If locally valid trip generation surveys cannot be conducted, then use of the ITE
Item 2E-17
PAGE 10 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
trip generation rates with limited sample size may be allowed but limitations of the data should be
fully disclosed especially related to land use context.
Trip generation for high truck generating uses such as high cube warehouses, logistics space, etc. shall
be based on ITE data when available or shall be determined with Transportation Department staff
input on a case-by-case basis. The proposed trip generation should be listed in the scoping
agreement for review and approval prior to study initiation.
Internal capture for mixed use developments (if applicable) should be calculated using state of the
practice methodologies such as ITE’s mixed use trip generation method or the US Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) mixed-use trip generation (MXD) methodology or other state of the
practice method approved by the Transportation Department prior to use in any studies. Trip
internalization calculations (including gross trips, net trips after internalization, and MXD input
assumptions (such as intersection density, TOD assumptions, acres, etc.) should be documented in the
TA.
For projects that anticipate the generation of significant truck traffic, all truck trips may be converted
into passenger car equivalents (PCE) for the capacity analysis or the analyst should adjust the truck
percentage in the capacity assessment appropriately. The following table shows the PCE factors that
shall be applied for truck traffic:
Vehicle Type PCE Factor 2 axle trucks 1.5 3 axle trucks 2.0 4+ axle trucks 3.0
For microsimulation analyses, the measured and/or project heavy truck percentages shall be used.
Trip Distribution. The project’s trip distribution should be based on expected origin-destination
patterns related to the project’s land uses. The trip distribution should be determined based on
consideration of following factors, subject to approval by the Transportation Department:
• Type of proposed development.
• Location and intensity of development.
• Conditions on the roadway network in the vicinity.
• Land uses in the vicinity.
• Truck route system.
• As directed by the Transportation Department.
Item 2E-18
PAGE 11 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
In some cases, use of select zone assignments from RIVTAM/RIVCOM or mobile device data
measuring trip distribution for similar sites may be appropriate. Other data may be used to help refine
trip distribution patterns including the relative location of population, commercial, recreational and
employment centers; existing peak hour link and turning movement volumes; ADT volumes; proximity
to regional transportation corridors; and knowledge of local and regional traffic circulation. Directional
movements at key access points to the project shall be provided. A preliminary trip distribution
pattern map shall be submitted in the scoping agreement for review and approval by the
Transportation Department.
Background Traffic from Other Projects and Ambient Growth Rate
Other projects within the vicinity of the project that have received approvals, shall be identified and
their traffic generation included as cumulative traffic in the TA. Proposed projects in the study area
that have been submitted to the County for processing, but not yet approved, may also be included at
the discretion of the Transportation Department. The traffic from the other approved projects or
projects in review shall be included in Cumulative analysis scenario identified previously.
Unless otherwise directed, the TA should utilize an ambient growth rate of two percent (2%) to be
applied to existing volumes to account for other general traffic growth in and around the study area.
Build-out Analyses for General Plan Amendments and Specific Plans
Traffic projections for General Plan Build-out scenarios shall utilize RIVTAM/RIVCOM or other
approved models and shall be identified in the scoping agreement. The Engineer shall use the model
projections as the basis for determining turning- movement volumes for the required intersection
analysis. A manual assignment of the project traffic added to the Build-out traffic may typically be
used to determine total future traffic, as approved by the Transportation Department.
Certain large-scale Specific Plans and General Plan Amendments have the potential to create traffic
deficiencies that are significantly greater than the traffic projections used in the traffic model, which
may also affect the modeling assumptions. For these projects, the Transportation Department may
request that the Build-out analysis utilize RIVTAM/RIVCOM or other model approved by the
Transportation Department be used to develop more detailed focused model runs in order to
determine the projected Build-out traffic. The following are guidelines of projects considered to be
significant and subject to the revised modeling requirements:
• 1,500 dwelling units or greater.
• 25 acres of commercial or greater.
• 150 acres of industrial or greater.
• Any project producing 15,000 daily trips or greater.
Item 2E-19
PAGE 12 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENTS
Intersections
Consistent with the acceptable LOS in the Riverside County General Plan, the Transportation
Department considers the following criteria for application in the TA to identify infrastructure
improvements required to provide acceptable operations. Note that this analysis will be completed to
demonstrate general plan consistency. Specific CEQA thresholds, which are based on VMT
requirements, are described later in these guidelines and shall be the sole basis for determining
CEQA-related transportation impacts.
Operational improvements would be required under the following conditions:
1. When existing traffic conditions (Analysis Scenario 1) exceed the General Plan target LOS.
2. When project traffic, when added to existing traffic (Analysis Scenario 2), will deteriorate the
LOS to below the target LOS.
3. When cumulative traffic (Analysis Scenario 3) exceeds the target LOS.
Improvements may be provided through the TUMF network (or other funding mechanism), project
conditions of approval, or other implementation mechanisms. The General Plan allows the Board of
Supervisors to approve development projects even in instances where the target LOS is exceeded, if
the project has overriding benefits. Examples include projects that provide jobs in a local area, projects
that provide needed transportation improvements that otherwise would not be constructed, projects
that provide habitat conservation, projects that implement non-motorized transportation systems, or
projects that provide some unique benefits to the County which outweigh the traffic deficiencies.
These projects are required to provide operational improvements to the extent that it is economically
feasible as determined by the Board of Supervisors, based on a value engineering analysis.
Roadway Segments
Intersections typically provide the transportation constraint on operational capacity. As such, these
guidelines focus on the evaluation of intersections. However, in some instances, roadway segment
evaluation may be appropriate and may be requested by the Transportation Department. Roadway
segment requirements should be considered, and improvements recommended if the project exceeds
the operational goals noted in the County’s General Plan.
SITE ACCESS, SAFETY, AND OTHER ANALYSES
The TA may be required to analyze site access and safety around the project and on adjacent streets.
The following topics may need to be considered in the TA.
Item 2E-20
PAGE 13 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
Site Access Analysis
a) Intersection Sight Distance. All on-site intersections, project access driveways or streets to
public roadways should provide adequate sight distance. Adequate intersection sight distance
should be determined using Ordinance No. 461, Std. No 821.
b) Driveway Length and Gated Entrance. Primary project driveways should have a throat of
sufficient length to allow vehicles to enter the project area without causing subsequent
vehicles to back up into the public street system.
c) Limit Driveway Impacts. Driveway and local street access on arterial streets should be limited
to minimize the impacts on arterial streets. Driveways should be located to maintain a
reasonable distance from an adjacent intersection and/or driveway. Whenever possible,
driveways should be consolidated with adjacent properties. When proposed driveways are
located across from an existing driveway, the centerlines of the driveways should be aligned
with each other.
d) Corner Clearance. A driveway should be a sufficient distance from a signalized intersection so
that right-turn egress movements do not interfere with the right-turn queue at the
intersection. In addition, every effort should be made to provide right-turn egress movements
with sufficient distance to enter the left-turn pocket at the adjacent intersection.
e) Right Turn Lanes at Driveways. If the project right turn peak hour volume is 50 or more
vehicles, a right-turn deceleration lane should be reviewed for appropriateness on all
driveways accessing major arterial and secondary streets. The length of the right turn lane
should be sufficient to allow a vehicle traveling at the posted speed to decelerate before
entering the driveway as outlined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual.
f) Adequacy of pedestrian facilities. Access to/from the project site providing convenient and
direct access for those users.
g) Bicycle accessibility. Access to/from nearby bike routes to the project site.
h) Accessibility from adjacent transit stops. Access to/from the project site providing
convenient and direct access for those users.
Safety and Operational Analysis
The TA shall examine existing roadway conditions to determine if safety and/or operational
improvements are necessary due to an increase in traffic from the project or cumulative conditions.
The types of improvements to be identified may include, but are not limited to:
• Need for turning lanes.
• Intersections needing future sight distance studies.
• Parking restrictions.
• Measures to reduce cut-through traffic in adjacent residential areas and/or assessment of
needed traffic calming measures.
• Potential impacts to adjacent schools, parks, and/or trails.
Item 2E-21
PAGE 14 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
• Queue lengths and deficiencies to adjacent intersections.
• Need for signal interconnect systems.
Intersection Turn Lane Queuing Analysis
The TA shall examine the impacts on queue lengths, need for additional queuing area, and access to
turn lanes at intersections and/or site access driveways.
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
The Engineer shall review intersections within the study area, including the project access points, to
determine if signal warrants are met for any of the study year scenarios (Existing, Project Completion,
Cumulative, etc.) Traffic signal warrant analysis should be performed using the latest edition of the
California MUTCD. The warrant analysis should be included in the study appendices. The warrant
analysis worksheets shall be included in the study appendices.
In determining the location of a new traffic signal on an arterial street or approaching an arterial
street, traffic progression and simulation analysis may be required using Synchro/SimTraffic software
or equivalent at the direction of the Transportation Department.
If the TA states that “a traffic signal is warranted” (or “a traffic signal appears to be warranted,” or
similar statement) at an existing unsignalized intersection under existing conditions, 8-hour approach
traffic volume information must be submitted in addition to the peak hourly turning movement
counts for that intersection. This information will enable the County to assess whether a traffic signal
should be installed at the intersection.
IMPROVEMENTS TO ADDRESS LOS DEFICIENCIES
Level of Service Improvements
As described in the Analysis Scenarios section, the Project Completion will be the basis for
determining transportation-related deficiencies caused by the project. Any deficiencies identified in
the TA as a result of the project shall be accompanied by recommendations to address said
deficiencies. The Transportation Department will evaluate the recommendations and determine if they
will be included as part of the conditions of approval.
The TA is also required to identify improvements necessary to address cumulative deficiencies. Within
the TA, the Engineer will need to evaluate and determine if the improvements are eligible facilities in
the WRCOG/CVAG TUMF or other approved funding mechanism (DIF, Road and Bridge Benefit
District, etc.). If the improvements can provide the target LOS, payment into the TUMF (and/or other
adopted funding program) will be considered as the project’s cumulative contribution towards the
identified improvements and will be implemented through conditions of approval. The project’s
Item 2E-22
PAGE 15 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
proportionate share shall be identified based on the project’s share of new traffic for other
improvements needed beyond those eligible within an adopted funding program (such as localized
improvements to non-TUMF facilities) or improvements that are not fully “funded” through an
adopted funding program, The proportionate share shall be determined using the following formula:
Fair Share = Project Traffic
Total Traffic – Existing Traffic
The Transportation Department may, at its discretion, condition the project to construct the identified
improvement(s) should it be deemed necessary for the approval and operation of the project.
Item 2E-23
PAGE 16 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines
CEQA ASSESSMENT - VMT ANALYSIS
CEQA analysis requires an evaluation of project impacts related to VMT. This section provides the
process to assist in determining VMT impacts for various land use projects. The process contains a
stepped approach that includes screening criteria, identifying significance measure and threshold,
VMT analysis, and mitigation measures.
ANALYSIS PROCESS
The following series of analytical steps for SB-743 compliance should be conducted for land use
projects as deemed necessary by the Transportation Department. Figure 2 provides a graphical
representation of this analysis process.

Item 2E-25
PAGE 18 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
Step 1: Evaluate Land Use Type
During the initial step the land use projects will need to be evaluated for the following considerations:
• Land use type. For the purposes of analysis, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
land use codes serve as the basis of land use definitions. Although it is recognized that VMT
evaluation tools and methodologies are typically not fully sensitive to some of the distinctions
between some ITE categories, the use of ITE land use codes is useful for maintaining
consistency across analyses, determining trip generation for other planning level tools, and
maintaining a common understanding of trip making characteristics amongst transportation
professionals. The ITE land use code is also used as an input into the sketch planning tool.
• Mixed Use. If there are multiple distinct land uses within the project (residential, office, retail,
etc.), they will be required to be analyzed separately unless they are determined to be
insignificant to the total VMT. Mixed use projects are permitted to account for internal capture,
which depending on the methodology may require a distinct approach not covered in this
documentation.
• Redevelopment projects. As described under the Non-Significant Screening Criteria section,
redevelopment projects which have lower VMT than the existing on-site use can be
determined to have a non-significant impact.
Step 2: Screen for Non-Significant Transportation Impact
The purpose of this step is to determine if a presumption of a non-significant transportation impact
can be made on the facts of the project. The guidance in this section is primarily intended to avoid
unnecessary analysis and findings that would be inconsistent with the intent of SB-743. A detailed
CEQA assessment will not be required for land use elements of a project that meet the screening
criteria shown in Figure 3. If a project is mixed use in nature, only those elements of the project that
do not comply with the elements in Figure 3 would require further evaluation to determine
transportation significance for CEQA purposes. There are certain exceptions to the screening criteria
contained in Figure 3. In cases where these exceptions apply, the Transportation Department will
inform the traffic consultant.

viable option for many to replace
automobile trips with transit trips
resulting in an overall reduction in
VMT.

• Maintains a service interval frequency of 15 minutes or less
during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.

LOCAL-SERVING RETAIL 3
The introduction of new Local-serving retail has been determined
to reduce VMT by shortening trips
that will occur.
Presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact:
• No single store on-site exceeds 50,000 SF; and
• Project is local-serving as determined by the Transportation
Department
AFFORDABLE HOUSING 4
Lower-income residents make fewer trips on average, resulting in lower
VMT overall.
Presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact:
• A high percentage of affordable housing is provided as determined by the Riverside County Planning and
Transportation Departments
LOCAL ESSENTIAL SERVICE 5
As with Local-Serving Retail, the introduction of new Local Essential
Services shortens non-discretionary
trips by putting those goods and
services closer to residents,
resulting in an overall reduction in
VMT.
Presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact:
• Project is local-serving as determined by the Transportation Department; and
• Local-serving and Day care center; or
• Police or Fire facility; or
• Medical/Dental office building under 50,000 square feet; or
• Government offices (in-person services such as post office,
library, and utilities); or
• Local or Community Parks
MAP-BASED SCREENING 6
This method eliminates the need
for complex analyses, by allowing
existing VMT data to serve as a
basis for the screening smaller
developments. Note that screening
is limited to residential and office
projects.
Presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact:
• Area of development is under threshold as shown on screening
map as allowed by the Transportation Department

REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS 7
Projects with lower VMT than existing on-site uses, can under
limited circumstances, be presumed
to have a non-significant impact. In
the event this screening does not
apply, projects should be analyzed as though there is no existing uses
on site (project analysis cannot take
credit for existing VMT).
Presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact:
• Project replaces an existing VMT-generating land use and does not result in a net overall increase in VMT
Step 3: Identify Significance Measure and Threshold
The purpose of this step is to determine the VMT measure and threshold of significance for
application to a land use project. Significance thresholds are based on land use type, broadly
categorized as efficiency and net change metrics. Efficiency metrics include VMT/capita and Work
VMT/employee8. As described in Figure 4, “Net Change” refers to the net change in regional VMT.
“Net Change” is used for elements that include a significant customer base, such as commercial uses
although it can extend to a variety of uses that have similar characteristics as shown in Figure 4.

The County adopted the county-wide average VMT as threshold of significance. This approach was
adopted consistent with several jurisdictions within the County as well as to address the significant
housing needs as identified in the SCAG regional housing needs assessment (RHNA). The thresholds
of significance, as they relate to the Riverside County, are summarized in Figure 5.

Based on these criteria the VMT thresholds of significance shown in Figure 6 have been established. A
project would result in a significant project-generated VMT impact if its VMT exceeds the VMT
threshold shown in Figure 6 based on its respective land use.
Figure 6 – VMT Threshold of Significance

Other Employment 14.2 Work VMT/employee Existing county-wide average Work VMT

Using the county as the basis or other
area determined appropriate by the
Transportation Department
Note that the inclusion of “Other Employment” and “Other Customer” refers to all other service and
goods providers that are not included in the basic office/retail categories.
For projects with a significant customer basis it is typically appropriate to separate employee trip
characteristics from the customer base unless the customer base is minimal in nature. Under these
circumstances, it is most appropriate to evaluate the total of the delta in regional VMT resultant from
the customer base plus the delta of VMT resultant from employees based on the following formula:
∆ =E × (𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝐸𝐸−𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑇𝑇)
∆ = Delta E = Number of Employees VMTE = Estimated VMT/employee VMTT = Threshold VMT/employee
Item 2E-30
PAGE 23 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
As provided for under Allowable Methods in Figure 4, some projects may require approaches and
analysis methods not described within this document given their unique locations or the proposed
land use is not appropriately represented in the Travel Demand Model. This can also be the case if
there is unique data associated with a project such as a market study or other relevant data.
Sketch Planning Tool. Riverside County has developed a sketch planning tool for use in SB-743 land
use project analysis. The purpose of the tool is to calculate VMT for a land use project. The source
data of the tool was developed from the RIVTAM travel demand model using the methodology
described in APPENDIX E. As with any sketch planning tool, there are distinct limitations in terms of
its application including limits on the type and size of development that it can be applied to. Note that
it is anticipated that the tool will continue to evolve in response to updates to travel demand model
data or methodological changes adopted by the County and as such it is important that the most
current version of the tool be utilized. Broadly, the sketch planning tool provides the following
information:
• Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
• VMT Threshold Analysis
• Greenhouse Gas Estimation
• Transportation Demand Management Evaluation
The VMT Analysis methodology is summarized in APPENDIX E.
Step 4: VMT Analysis for Non-Screened Development
Most projects that require a detailed VMT assessment will use one of two methods for assessing a
project’s VMT: (1) Riverside County Sketch Planning Tool; or (2) RIVTAM/RIVCOM or other approved
travel demand forecasting model.
For non-residential or non-office projects, very large projects, or projects that can potentially shift
travel patterns, the sketch tool would not be appropriate or adequate for the VMT assessment. In such
cases, the RIVTAM/RIVCOM model may be required based on a preliminary review of the project.
Refer to the VMT Calculations section of APPENDIX E for detailed steps to calculate a project’s VMT
using RIVTAM.
There may be projects for which neither the Sketch Planning Tool nor the RIVTAM/RICOM model is
appropriate for VMT assessment. In this scenario, the transportation consultant should coordinate with
the Transportation Department to determine the appropriate methodology for the analysis.
Step 5: Mitigation Measures
When project VMT exceeds the threshold(s) of significance, the project will need to mitigate its CEQA
transportation impact. Projects must propose measures to reduce project VMT and can include the
Item 2E-31
PAGE 24 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
following VMT reducing strategies – project characteristics, multimodal improvements, parking, and
transportation demand management (TDM). The type and size of the project will determine the most
appropriate mitigation strategies for VMT impacts. For large projects such as general plans or specific
plans, VMT mitigations should concentrate on the project’s density and land use mix, site design,
regional policies, and availability of transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. For smaller projects such
as an individual development project, VMT mitigations will typically require the preparation of a TDM
program. A TDM program is a combination of strategies to reduce VMT. The program is created by an
applicant for their land use project based on a list of strategies agreed to with Riverside County.
Riverside County has developed a list of potential TDM strategies and the magnitude of VMT
reduction that could be achieved. The selection process was guided by the California Air Pollution
Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) recommendations found in the 2010 publication Quantifying
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures. The area context of Riverside County also influenced the type of
TDM strategies that were selected. CAPCOA has found strategies with the largest VMT reduction in
rural areas include vanpools, telecommute or alternative work schedules, and master planned
communities with design and land-use diversity to encourage intra-community travel. Based on
empirical evidence, CAPCOA found the cross-category maximum for all transportation-related
mitigation measures is 15% for suburban settings.
APPENDIX F summarizes available TDM strategies along with the maximum VMT reduction,
applicable land use application, and complementary strategies. The Sketch Planning Tool includes the
TDMs summarized in APPENDIX F.
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
Depending on the specific nature of a transportation project; it can alter trip patterns, trip lengths, and
even trip generation. Research has determined that capacity-enhancing projects can and often do
increase VMT. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as “induced demand.” While methods are
generally less developed for the analysis of induced demand compared to other areas of
transportation analysis, there is still the need to quantify and understand its impact to the
transportation system considering the requirements of SB-743.
Similarly, to land use projects, the approach to transportation project analysis closely align with the
2018 OPR Guidance. In terms of analysis, the analyst should first determine whether the transportation
project has been prescreened and determined to have a non-significant impact as described in the
following section.
Screen for Non-Significant Transportation Impact
The following non-significant impact examples are provided directly from the 2018 OPR Guidance:
Item 2E-32
PAGE 25 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
• Rehabilitation, maintenance, replacement, safety, and repair projects designed to improve the
condition of existing transportation assets (e.g., highways; roadways; bridges; culverts;
• Transportation Management System field elements such as cameras, message signs, detection,
or signals; tunnels; transit systems; and assets that serve bicycle and pedestrian facilities) and
that do not add additional motor vehicle capacity
• Roadside safety devices or hardware installation such as median barriers and guardrails
• Roadway shoulder enhancements to provide “breakdown space,” dedicated space for use only
by transit vehicles, to provide bicycle access, or to otherwise improve safety, but which will not
be used as automobile vehicle travel lanes
• Addition of an auxiliary lane of less than one mile in length designed to improve roadway
safety
• Installation, removal, or reconfiguration of traffic lanes that are not for through traffic, such as
left, right, and U-turn pockets, two-way left turn lanes, or emergency breakdown lanes that are
not utilized as through lanes
• Addition of roadway capacity on local or collector streets provided the project also
substantially improves conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and, if applicable, transit
• Conversion of existing general-purpose lanes (including ramps) to managed lanes or transit
lanes, or changing lane management in a manner that would not substantially increase vehicle
travel
• Addition of a new lane that is permanently restricted to use only by transit vehicles
• Reduction in number of through lanes
• Grade separation to separate vehicles from rail, transit, pedestrians or bicycles, or to replace a
lane in order to separate preferential vehicles (e.g., HOV, HOT, or trucks) from general vehicles
• Installation, removal, or reconfiguration of traffic control devices, including Transit Signal
Priority (TSP) features
• Installation of traffic metering systems, detection systems, cameras, changeable message signs
and other electronics designed to optimize vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian flow
• Timing of signals to optimize vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian flow
• Installation of roundabouts or traffic circles
• Installation or reconfiguration of traffic calming devices
• Adoption of or increase in tolls
• Addition of tolled lanes, where tolls are sufficient to mitigate VMT increase
• Initiation of new transit service
• Conversion of streets from one-way to two-way operation with no net increase in number of
traffic lanes
• Removal or relocation of off-street or on-street parking spaces
• Adoption or modification of on-street parking or loading restrictions (including meters, time
limits, accessible spaces, and preferential/reserved parking permit programs)
• Addition of traffic wayfinding signage
• Rehabilitation and maintenance projects that do not add motor vehicle capacity
Item 2E-33
PAGE 26 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
• Addition of new or enhanced bike or pedestrian facilities on existing streets/highways or within
existing public rights-of-way
• Addition of Class I bike paths, trails, multi-use paths, or other off-road facilities that serve
nonmotorized travel
• Installation of publicly available alternative fuel/charging infrastructure
• Addition of passing lanes, truck climbing lanes, or truck brake-check lanes in rural areas that
do not increase overall vehicle capacity along the corridor
Significance Threshold and Methodology
For projects that increase roadway capacity and are not identified under the Non-Significant Screening
Criteria in the prior section, the significance criterion should be changed to regional VMT. A finding of
a significant impact would be determined if a transportation project results in a net increase in
regional VMT. Note that for transportation improvements within Caltrans right-of-way, it is required
that the analysis of those improvements be consistent with Caltrans SB-743 analysis guidelines.

All Residential Parcel Maps. 2. Single Family Residential Tracts of less than 100 lots. 3. Apartments and other Multiple Family projects of less than 150 units. 4. Plot Plan and Uses Cases for projects of one acre or less. 5. Preschools, Elementary Schools and Middle Schools. 6. Churches, Lodges, Community Centers, Neighborhood Parks and Community Parks. 7. Mini Storage Yards 8. Congregate Care Facilities that contain significant special services, such as medical facilities, dining facilities, recreation facilities and support retail facilities. 9. Level 1 projects (100-200 peak hour trips) in areas where a comprehensive traffic analysis has
been performed and road improvement infrastructure funding mechanisms are in place. The
Transportation Department may, however, require a traffic analysis for projects that are
anticipated to exhibit potential adverse deficiencies on the circulation system.
10. Any use which can demonstrate, based on the most recent edition of the Trip Generation
Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) or other approved trip
generation data, trip generation of less than 100 vehicle trips during the peak hours.
These exemptions will apply in most cases, however, the Transportation Department reserves the right
to require a traffic analysis for any development regardless of size and/or type. The level of analysis
shall be determined on an individual basis. The following are examples of conditions under which an
exemption would not be granted.
a. The presence of an existing or potential safety problem. b. The location of the development in an environmentally or otherwise sensitive area, or in an area that is likely to generate public controversy. c. The presence of a nearby substandard intersection or street. This is normally considered to be an existing Level of Service “D” or worse, or substandard improvements. d. The need for a focused study for access/operational issues. e. A request from an affected agency, such as Caltrans or an adjacent city, which is deemed by the Transportation Department to be reasonable and rational.

APPENDIX E
VMT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The following provides guidance regarding required Baseline and Cumulative scenarios as it applies to
land development and transportation projects, Specific Plans, and Community Plans. This analyses
approach is based on guidance provided within the 2018 OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating
Transportation Impacts in CEQA (2018 OPR Guidance).
Land Development and Transportation Projects
Typically, the comparison between Baseline and Baseline Plus Project scenarios results in an evaluation
of the worst-case scenario whether it be under an efficiency metric (per capita or per employee) or a
net change metric (such as for retail or for a transportation improvement). This is a result of the fact
that Cumulative analyses include additional developments, which typically have the effect of
shortening trips as the proximity of complimentary land uses improve with increasing densities (i.e.
houses are closer to shopping opportunities, houses are closer to employment opportunities, etc.).
Accordingly, it can be presumed that a land development project or transportation project will not
have a significant impact under Cumulative conditions if it is not determined to have one under
Baseline conditions unless there are known circumstances, as determined by Transportation
Department, that might alter this outcome. Unless specifically required by the Transportation
Department, Project analysis for Cumulative conditions is only required if there is a finding of a
significant impact under the Baseline Plus Project conditions.
When a significant impact is determined under Baseline Plus Project conditions, feasible mitigation measures must be identified that could avoid or substantially reduce the impact. Lead agencies are generally given the discretion to determine what mitigation actions are “feasible,” but they must rely on substantial evidence in making these determinations. In addition, CEQA requires the identification of feasible alternatives that could avoid or substantially reduce a project’s significant environmental impacts. If feasible mitigation measures cannot be identified to mitigate the impact of the Project, a Cumulative analysis will be required. A land development project or transportation project that can be sufficiently mitigated to not have a significant impact under Baseline Plus Project conditions would not have to undertake Cumulative analysis. If Cumulative analysis is determined to be required, the Cumulative analysis should consider the effect
of any planned mitigation measures identified during the Baseline analysis even if those mitigation
measures do not fully mitigate the impact. If the Cumulative conditions analysis also results in a
finding of a significant impact with previously identified mitigation measures, this Cumulative impact
shall result in a finding of a significant and unavoidable impact and must therefore be called out in the
project’s EIR and subject to a Finding of Overriding Consideration.
Item 2E-40
PAGE 33 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
Specific Plans and Community Plans
Specific Plans and Community Plans require the same analysis and mitigation approach to Project
analysis as described above, with unique Land uses (residential, office, retail, etc.) being required to be
analyzed in the aggregate against established Riverside County thresholds. Transportation
improvements associated with Specific Plans or Community Plans are also analyzed in the same
manner as described in this guidance. However, for Specific Plans and Community Plans, Riverside
County requires that Cumulative analysis be completed irrespective of the findings of the Baseline Plus
Project conditions. Additionally, No Project and Plus Project conditions under both the Baseline and
Cumulative must provide total Regional VMT values. Note that the Regional VMT values are for
informational purposes and are not used as the basis for the determination of a significant impact.
Analysis Methodology
Travel Demand Models (TDMs) are broadly considered to be amongst the most accurate of available
tools to assess regional and sub-area VMT. While the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) maintains the regional travel demand model as a part of the Regional Transportation
Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy program (RTP/SCS), Riverside County maintains its own travel
demand model (Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model, RIVTAM) in support of travel
forecasting needs of the various agencies and jurisdictions within the County. The latest available
version of RIVTAM (developed in 2009 based on the SCAG 2008 RTP Model structure) was determined
to be the best fit for developing the VMT thresholds as it has the most up to date land use
information for the County, as well as refined zonal structure within the County.
The 2012 Base Year model scenario was used for the baseline conditions and 2040 Future Year model
scenario was used for the cumulative conditions in the County. Out of the five other counties included
in the model (Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and
Imperial County), San Bernardino is a major contributor of the trips to Riverside County during a
typical weekday.
As many of the County’s daily trips originate from or have destinations in areas outside of the County
such as San Diego County and the State of Arizona (external trips), their total length could not be
computed solely using RIVTAM, additional analysis was required. The length of these trips was
determined using two main processes, using Big Data and RIVTAM output files. Data was obtained
from Teralytics that summarized the number of trips to and from the County to the surrounding
Counties at the Census Tract level for the entire month of October 2019. The distance between each
Census Tract was determined by using the TransCAD software, the modeling platform that RIVTAM
runs on. The multipath analysis function within the TransCAD software was used to determine the
point to point distance between the centroid of each Census Tract using the internal pathing
algorithm that determines the shortest path along the roadway network between the centroid of each
Census Tract pair. The shortest path between each County Census Tract and each non-County Census
Tract that contained at least one trip was multiplied by the share of the total trips to and from each
Item 2E-41
PAGE 34 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
Census Tract within the County to determine the average trip length to and from the County Census
Tract. The big data average trip lengths within the County were compared against the RIVTAM model
internal trip lengths. The big data average trip lengths within the County were found to be slightly
lower than the internal average trip lengths in the RIVTAM model. This was the basis of big data
calibration and the external average trip lengths were adjusted. The calibrated average trip length was
applied to each TAZ based on the TAZ to Census Tract association and multiplied by the number of
external trips to and from that TAZ to determine the total external VMT by TAZ.
These average external trip lengths by TAZ are also available in a spreadsheet form to compute
additional VMT outside the model region if required for a project.
Before beginning the Countywide VMT analysis, the zonal structure and various components of
RIVTAM were thoroughly reviewed to make the best use of model results to determine the VMT
thresholds. Some of the major roadway improvements in the County that occurred after the year 2012
were also included in the model network to compute trip lengths that reflect the most recent travel
patterns.
Model Zone Structure. VMT was computed at Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level to determine the
thresholds as well as to allow for comparisons among different areas throughout the County. There
are 1807 TAZs within the County, including 623 TAZs within the unincorporated parts of the County.
Socio-Economic Data. Socioeconomic data (SED) and other model inputs are associated with each
TAZ. Out of several different variables in the model SED, the VMT analysis mainly focused on
population, number of households and types of employment that are used in the trip generation
component. VMT computation was focused on the fact that the model uses employment variables by
3 income levels to determine commute trips and only some of the employment variables by industry
type to determine the rest of the trips. Employment variables used in the model are listed below.
Employment by Income Level:
1. Low Income Employment (less than $25,000)
2. Medium Income Employment ($25,000 to $50,000)
3. High Income Employment ($50,000 or more)
Employment by Industry type:
1. Agriculture and mining
2. Construction
3. Manufacturing
4. Wholesale trade
5. Retail trade
6. Transportation, warehousing, and utility
7. Information
Item 2E-42
PAGE 35 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
8. Financial activities
9. Professional and business services
10. Education and health services
11. Leisure and hospitality services
12. Other services
13. Public administration
It should be noted that not all the employment variables by industry type in the model are used for
trip generation, therefore commute VMT was calculated for the land use types where trip generation
rates were available in the model.
Trip Generation. The model runs a series of complex steps to estimate daily trip productions and
attractions by various trip purposes for each TAZ. The trip purposes are listed below.
Model Trip Purpose:
1. Home-Based Work Direct (HBWD)
2. Home-Based Work Strategic (HBWS)
3. Home-Based School (HBSC)
4. Home-Based College and University (HBCU)
5. Home-Based Shopping (HBSH)
6. Home-Based Serving-Passenger (HBSP)
7. Home-Based Other (HBO)
8. Work-Based Other (WBO)
9. Other-Based Other (OBO)
The production model uses several variables such as number of workers, household income, age,
household size and car availability depending on the trip purpose. Trip productions for every TAZ in
the model were compiled separately by each trip purpose. The attraction model uses income
categories of employment for the HBW trip purpose, whereas it uses some of the employment
categories for all non-HBW trip purposes. The attraction model estimates trip attractions to each TAZ
by regression coefficients that vary by employment type. Trip attractions for every TAZ were compiled
by each purpose and by each employment type based on these regression coefficients.
Person Trips, Vehicle Occupancy, Trip Distance. Trip productions and attractions were compiled
after the mode choice step, and only auto trips were used for the analysis. Since these auto trips are
person trips, vehicle occupancy factors were applied for carpool 2 and carpool 3+ auto person trips.
The model uses separate factors for carpool 3+ for each trip purpose. After the vehicle trip
productions and attractions were computed for each trip purpose, trip lengths were applied for each
zone pair from the respective skim matrices in the model to compute the production and attraction
VMT by purpose.
Item 2E-43
PAGE 36 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
VMT Calculations. The residential VMT was computed by combining the production VMT for all the
Home-Based trip purposes. Commute VMT was computed from the attraction VMT by Home-Based
Work trip purposes.
Residential and commute VMT by each TAZ were computed and average VMT were determined by
County levels to determine the thresholds. A step-by-step process is described below to recalculated
average VMT using the RIVTAM model if required.
Steps to Recalculate average VMT:
1. Run the RIVTAM model with desired network and SED data
2. Compile Population and Total Employment by each TAZ from SED
3. Use peak and off-peak person trip matrices by trip purpose and combine into daily person
trips. These matrices are saved in \msplit\Outputs\. The files are "MS_PK_HBWD.mtx",
"MS_PK_HBWS.mtx", "MS_PK_HBOALL.mtx", "MS_PK_HBSH.mtx", "MS_PK_HBSP.mtx ",
"MS_PK_OBO.mtx", "MS_PK_WBO.mtx", "MS_PK_HBSC.mtx ", "MS_PK_HBCU.mtx”, and similarly
for off-peak.
4. Use the occupancy factors used in the model for each trip purpose to convert the daily person
trips to vehicle trips.
5. Use lengths from the respective Skim matrices and multiply to the daily vehicle trips for Drive
Alone, Carpool 2, and Carpool 3+ trips to compute daily VMT by purpose. These skim matrix
files are “SPMATPK_DA.mtx”, “SPMATPK_SR2.mtx”, “SPMATPK_SR3.mtx”, and similarly for off-
peak.
6. Extract the daily VMT sum of productions by each TAZ and by trip purpose.
7. Extract the daily VMT sum of attractions by each TAZ and by trip purpose.
8. Combine the sum of productions by each TAZ for all the Home-Based trip purposes, i.e.
“HBWD”, ”HBWS”, ”HBOALL”, ”HBSH”, ”HBSP”, ”HBSC”, ”HBCU”. This will be the Residential
VMT for internal trips.
9. Combine the sum of attractions by each TAZ for only the Home-Based-Work trip purposes, i.e.
“HBWD”, ”HBWS”. This will be the Work VMT for internal trips.
10. For the external VMT, directly use vehicle trips from the Origin-Destination tables. The files are
“AM_OD.mtx”, “PM_OD.mtx”, “MD_OD.mtx”, “NT_OD.mtx”. Combine these vehicle trips to daily
trips.
11. Extract daily OD trips sum of productions only for the external vehicle trips.
12. Extract daily OD trips sum of attractions only for the external vehicle trips.
13. Since the OD vehicles trips are for all purposes, multiply the share of Home-Based trip purpose
and Home-Based-Work purpose from the mode choice person trips tables to derive the
external Residential and Work external trips.
14. Multiply these external trips to the average lengths provided separately by the County.
15. Add external VMT to the internal VMT to get the final VMT for each TAZ.

APPENDIX G
UNIT-BASED SCREENING THRESHOLDS
FOR SMALL PROJECTS
The Riverside County Greenhouse Gas Emissions Screening Tables document (July 17, 2018) identifies
a 3,000 Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e) per year screening level threshold to
identify projects that require the use of the Screening Tables or a project-specific technical analysis to
quantify and mitigate project emissions.
The County determined the size of development that is too small to be able to provide the level of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions expected from the Screening Tables or alternate emission
analysis method. To do this the County determined the GHG emission amount allowed by a project
such that 90 percent of the emissions on average from all projects would exceed that level and be
“captured” by the Screening Table or alternate emission analysis method. The GHG emissions
calculations from the VMT Tool should be used in conjunction with the County’s GHG emissions
screening tables.
California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod version 2016.3.2) was used to determine the
maximum number of dwelling units or square footage that would remain within the 3,000 MTCO2e
per year screening threshold. CalEEMod is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed
to quantify potential criteria pollutant emissions associated with both construction and operations
from a variety of land use projects. This model was selected because it is provided by the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) to be used statewide for developing project-level GHG emissions. CalEEMod
was used with the built-in default trip lengths and types.
CalEEMod runs were conducted for a variety of land uses in order to determine the land use units that
trigger SCAQMD threshold of 3,000 MT CO2e/year, as well the CO2e emissions on a per-unit (dwelling
unit or thousand square feet) rate that could be used in the VMT Tool. The land uses and
corresponding CO2e emissions rates are shown in Table 1.

CalEEMod relies on known emissions data associated with certain activities or equipment (i.e. default
values) that can be used if site-specific information is not available. CalEEMod contains default values
to use in each specific local air district region or county. Input values were selected to be specific to
the South Coast portion of Riverside County as the majority of future development that would utilize
the screening thresholds is anticipated in this area of the County.
The following outlines the assumptions used in the CalEEMod calculations:
• CalEEMod uses Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) 9th Edition daily trip generation rates
by default. Modeling for the VMT Tool updated CalEEMod defaults to use ITE 10th Edition
rates.
• Rural trip lengths are longer than urban trip lengths and were conservatively used.
• The CalEEMod mobile source (vehicle) emissions are based on emissions rates from CARB’s
EMissions FACtor Model (EMFAC). The CalEEMod default EMFAC2014 emissions rates were
updated with EMFAC2017 emissions rates, which are the latest available from CARB.
• The CalEEMod carbon intensity factor was adjusted within the model to represent Southern
California Edison’s (SCE) current emissions rate. The electricity emission intensity factor in
CalEEMod was revised to use the SCE’s reported rate in their 2018 Corporate Responsibility
and Sustainability Report. As of 2017, SCE’s power mix was at 32 percent renewable energy
and will be required to achieve the 60 percent renewable energy goal by 2030 established by
SB 100.
• Energy savings from water conservation resulting from the Green Building Code Standards for
indoor water use and California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance for outdoor water
use are not included in CalEEMod. Conservatively, no updates were made to CalEEMod to
account for these measures.
• The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (adopted on May 9, 2018) took effect on
January 1, 2020. Under the 2019 standards, homes would use about 53 percent less energy and
Item 2E-50
PAGE 43 | Transportation Analysis Guidelines County of Riverside
nonresidential buildings would use about 30 percent less energy than buildings under the
2016 standards. Conservatively, no updates were made to CalEEMod to account for these
reductions under the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.

Chapter 1Purpose of Guidelines
1.1 Introduction/Context
It is the intent of Coachella Valley Association
of Governments (CVAG) to develop Active
Transportation projects to the highest level of
safety and efficiency for the region.
Active Transportation projects are intended to
serve users of all ages and abilities. Agencies
that utilize CVAG funding for their Active
Transportation projects should use this design
guidance to develop a project scope and
informal corridor analysis that provides a context
sensitive solution for the given opportunities
and constraints.
The analysis should include all involved agencies
to ensure design and facility consistency
across multiple jurisdictions. These guidelines
incorporate best practices that are being used
around the world with a major emphasis on
providing greater separation from vehicles,
reducing intersection conflicts, and increasing
overall safety for vulnerable roadway users.
The design guidance is largely adapted from
current national bicycle design guidance
and accepted industry practices, including
the American Association of Highway
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 1
Item 2E-59
Transportation Officials Guide for the
Development of Bicycle Facilities, Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) Separated
Bikeway Planning and Design Guide, FHWA
Bikeway Selection Guide, The National
Association of City Transportation Officials
(NACTO) manual, and the current version of the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CAMUTCD). These Design Guidelines
are intended to be a living document, with
periodic reviews and updates, ensuring
representation of best practices and emerging
technologies.
1.2 Survey of Active Transportation Standards & Best
Practices Used by Member Agencies
Public Works Directors and other staff of
member agencies were surveyed by phone
interview to determine which references
are utilized in the development of Active
Transportation projects.
The majority of responses indicated that
agencies primarily use the following to
make decisions for the placement and
implementation of Active Transportation
infrastructure:
1. California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CAMUTCD).
2. Agency adopted Circulation/Mobility
Element.
3. Agency adopted standards for striping
details.
1.3 State of the Practice/Facility Inventory
To demonstrate the current State of the Practice
for existing bicycle infrastructure within the
CVAG region, data for key regional bicycle
corridors is provided.
Highway 111, Fred Waring Drive, and
Palm Drive were selected as representative
corridors as these roadways pass through the
majority of CVAG jurisdictions. Community input
indicates a high desirability to have bicycle route
continuity and inter-jurisdictional connectivity
as part of the Active Transportation strategies.
Highway 111 is the primary commercial
corridor through the Coachella Valley. Within
Riverside County it spans approximately
65 miles, generally from north to south,
extending from Interstate 10 to the Salton Sea.
Fred Waring Drive is an east-west primary
arterial roadway that provides access to
numerous residential communities. The corridor
extends from Highway 111 to Indio Boulevard
and is approximately 10 miles in length.
Palm Drive, spanning nearly seven miles,
serves as the primary access route for the
City of Desert Hot Springs, extending from
Interstate 10 to 16th Street.
The most recent available traffic counts (as
provided by the Interactive Map on the CVAG
website) at locations within the corridors,
along with existing speed limits and striping
configurations were researched and field
reviewed. Current General Plan roadway
classifications for each segment are also
included in the analysis.

2.1 Facility Selection for Urban Roadways
When selecting a bikeway facility, there are
a number of factors that influence bicycle
users’ comfort and safety. The most significant
negative influence on cycling occurs when the
speed differential between bicyclists and motor
vehicles is high and the roadway carries high
traffic volumes. The chart shown below can be
used as a starting point to identify a preferred
facility. When considering facility type, the
designer should review the roadway for the
minimum width needed to accommodate
motor vehicles considering speed, traffic
volumes, number of lanes, and vehicle mix.
As a Best Practice, width in excess of this
minimum should be allocated to the Active
Transportation component of the facility to
maximize the separation of motor vehicles and
non-motorized vehicles. Increasing separation
through buffering and other means enhances
comfort and safety for all users.

2.2 Shoulder Width on Rural Roadways
Paved Shoulders on the edge of roadways can be enhanced to serve as a functional space for
bicyclists and pedestrians to travel in the absence of other facilities with more separation.
Shoulder Rumble Strip
1. On high-speed rural roadways (45 mph or
greater), or with Average Daily Volumes
more than 6,000 ADT, it is preferable to
construct shared use paths for enhanced
comfort and safety.
2. On rural roadways, it may not always be
feasible to install separated bicycle facilities.
With high speeds and increased motor
vehicle volumes increase, it can be very
uncomfortable for cyclists to share lanes
or ride within a narrow-paved shoulder.
Comfort level is further decreased with a
large percentage of trucks.
3. As rural roadways are often used by long
distance recreational and commuter cyclists
traveling between populated areas or to
work destinations, paved shoulder width
is an important element to accommodate
these bicyclists.
4. Paved shoulders can be augmented with
warning signs indicating the presence of
bicyclists to further enhance the bicycle route
or upgraded to traditional Class II Bicycle
Lanes with appropriate signs / markings..
5. For rural roadways, the minimum paved
shoulder width should be 4-FT. As speeds
and volumes increase it is preferrable to
provide should widths of 6-FT to 8-FT to
increase safety and comfort of bicyclists.
6. Shoulders should include bicycle friendly
drainage structures, and regularly be
reviewed for removal of large debris items.
Some agencies use rumble strips to further
define the traveled way.
7. Rumble strips should be installed on the
edge of the travel way (preferably to the left
or under the shoulder stripe) to maximize the
available clear pavement width (minimum
of 6-FT) for cyclists to ride within and include
gaps for riders to cross through.

Active Transportation Design Guidelines 13
Item 2E-71
2.3 Reallocating Roadway Space
With new roadways, preferred bike facility
widths are usually achieved. However,
constrained conditions when reconstructing
existing roadways often prevent the opportunity
to install a desired bike facility or achieve
optimum bikeway width. Roadways are often
overbuilt for existing and/or future capacity
needs and designers should repurpose or
reallocate available roadway width when traffic
conditions allow.
Narrowing Travel Lanes
On certain roadways, additional width for
bicycle facilities may be achieved by narrowing
lane widths across the roadway. Studies have
demonstrated that lanes as narrow as 10-FT
wide do not reduce roadway capacity or
increase crash rates. Narrower lanes often lead
to reduced vehicle speeds which can improve
the overall safety of the corridor. Lanes next to
medians or other raised features, or that serve
large vehicles and buses should be no less than
11-FT. Travel lane widths do not have to be equal.
Outer lanes, typically used by buses and other
large vehicles may be 11-FT, and the remaining
lanes can be 10-FT wide.
Road Diets
Road diets, also referred to as lane reductions,
is a strategy to repurpose the width of an
automobile travel lane for use of an active
transportation facility. The most common road
diet is the conversion of a five lane to three lane
roadway. Roadway candidates for this type of
conversion usually have less than 15,000 vehicles
per day, but with traffic signal modifications
and other intersection enhancements, agencies
have reported successful projects with roadway
volumes up to 20,000 ADT. There are numerous
benefits that may be achieved with road diets
including reduced roadway speeds, shorter
crossing distances for pedestrians, reduced
crash rates, opportunity to provide dedicated
space for pedestrians and cyclists, additional
parking for businesses, parks, and schools, and
improved intersection sight distance. If the road
diet provides for a dedicated left turn, traffic
flow will be enhanced with less weaving and
reduction of vehicles stopped in the travel lane
to turn. The exhibit below demonstrates typical
before and after cross sections for a road diet.

2.4 Types of Bicyclists
Research has shown there are a variety of
categories when describing cyclists that use the
bicycle network. Designers should consider all
ages and abilities in developing bicycle facilities
but maintain design flexibility to accommodate
all users. Many agencies focus their efforts on
the largest user groups to achieve a higher
mode to shift to Active Transportation.
One well-known study conducted in
Portland, OR categorized cyclists in four main
groups that are described further.
Strong & Fearless
This group of bicyclists, representing
approximately 1 percent of the population, will
normally ride anywhere regardless of roadway
conditions or weather. They ride faster than
other user types over varied terrain and prefer
direct roadway connections. Motivated by
speed and flexibility they will often choose to
share the road with vehicles over separated
bicycle facilities.
Enthused & Confident
This group of bicyclists, representing
approximately 5-10 percent of the population,
are generally comfortable riding on all types
of bike facilities, but often choose low traffic
volume and slower streets or multi-use paths
when available. This group, typically commuters
and recreational riders, will choose their route,
even if it is longer, to take advantage of a
preferred facility type.
Interested but, Concerned
This group of bicyclists, representing
approximately 60 percent of the population,
makes up the majority of people on bikes. They
will only ride a bicycle on low traffic streets or
separated facilities under the most favorable
weather conditions. They want to feel safe,
especially when riding with family members.
These bicyclists see considerable barriers to the
increased use of cycling, primarily because of
traffic conditions and other safety issues. There
is opportunity for agencies to see a greater
modal shift if the bicycle facility design is
focused on this group.
No Way, No How
This group, representing the remaining
population, do not ride bicycles and consider
it unsafe to ride in traffic. People in this group
may take up cycling with encouragement and
education and some will not ride a bicycle
under any circumstances.

Active Transportation Design Guidelines 17
Item 2E-75
2.5 Bicycle Operating Space
Operating space is an important factor in the design of a bicycle facility. The minimum operating
width for a bicyclist designated in the AASHTO design manual and FHWA guidelines is 4-FT.
An additional 1-FT on either side is added for minor path deviation while riding (see figure to the
right). It is important to note, however, that these values should be considered the minimum and
the designer should strive to providing as much room as the roadway conditions allow.
Extra width is desirable to allow cyclists to operate at higher speeds (especially on downhill grades),
a higher degree of debris and roadway defect avoidance, and the opportunity to pass slower cyclists.
Additionally, extra width allows pairs of cyclists in large groups or parents with children to ride side
by side.
18
Item 2E-76
2.6 Bicycle Design Vehicle
In addition to standard bicycles, there are many pedal-driven cycles for the designer to consider in
the planning of bicycle facilities.
The most common types include adult trikes, tandem and recumbent bicycles, “tagalongs,” and
bicycles pulling trailers. Additional operating space may be necessary around turns, near bicycle
amenities, and at intersections. The figures shown provide the basic design dimensions for each
vehicle type.
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 19
Item 2E-77
2.7 Traffic Control Treatments at Marked
Crosswalk Locations
Careful consider should be given in the
installation of marked crosswalks at
non-signalized locations either at intersections
or mid-block. The decision to mark a crosswalk
should be accompanied with an engineering
study to determine the appropriate crossing
treatment. Marking crosswalks alone does not
necessarily contribute to enhanced roadway
safety especially on multi-lane roadways.
The decision to mark a crosswalk should be
based on several factors including adjacent land
uses, pedestrian demand, roadway speed and
volumes, presence of bus stops, available traffic
control (including adult school crossing guards),
available street lighting, and collision history.
When factors such as pedestrian demand and
collision history are not known or the location
is a new crossing, developing countermeasures
to address certain risk factors for unsignalized
crossings may be more appropriate. This
systemic approach helps to address pedestrian
crashes before they occur.
The following matrix, based on safety
research, best practices, and established
national guidelines, can assist the designer in
determining the appropriate traffic control
treatment based upon traffic speeds, volumes,
number of lanes, and roadway classification:

2.8 Electric Mobility
Many cyclists are embracing the idea of electric
mobility, as it is climate-friendly and efficient.
Electric bicycles, or simply E-bikes, enhance
mobility for riders of all ages and abilities. E-bikes
are very popular and are available in all kinds
and sizes. E-bikes are especially useful in areas
of hilly terrain, or to substitute for a car when
commute distances are further than normal.
E-bikes can provide a riding range between
20 and 100 miles depending on battery size,
average speed, terrain, and rider weight. There
are three different classes of E-bikes. E-bike
classes were created to determine how they are
used according to local E-bike laws.
Class 1 - Class 1 E-bikes provide assistance only
when you pedal and the level of assistance is
adjustable based upon individual preference.
The Class 1 is distinguished by the assistance
being limited up to 20 mph. This bike class can
be used in traditional bike lanes, bike paths,
roads, and anywhere else you would ride a
non-electric bike, in accordance with local
ordinances.
Class 2 - Class 2 E-bikes, similar to Class 1, stop
assisting at 20 mph. However, Class 2 E-bikes are
normally equipped with a throttle that provides
the assistance without pedaling.
Class 3 - Class 3 E-bikes are equipped with
a speedometer and provide assistance up to
28 mph. They can provide assistance through
either a throttle (up to 20 mph) or by pedaling.
With Class 3 speed capability of 28 mph or more,
they are not allowed on traditional multi-use
paths.
As E-bikes are commonplace and their use
continues to grow, bicycle facilities should
be designed to account for higher speeds as
allowed in the various classes.
Other forms of electric mobility include the use
of golf carts and electric scooters, in accordance
with locally adopted plans and ordinances.
It is important to consider not only designing
the network for these users, but providing
amenities including exclusive parking and
public charging stations. The ability to recharge
will not only increase the acceptance and
success of electric mobility, but can boost
patronage of restaurants and shopping in areas
where this service is provided.
Popular in areas of high tourism are public
electric scooter programs. As agencies embrace
this mobility option, designated parking spaces
are key to encourage the scooters users after
completing their trip to park the vehicles so
as to maintain clear pedestrian paths and not
generate public nuisances. Parking spaces
are typically 5-FT wide and 20-FT or longer
depending upon expected usage.

2.9 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law on July 26, 1990, requires that individuals
with disabilities are entitled to the same access to transportation as everyone else.
This civil rights law assures that a disabled person will have full access to all public facilities -
primarily to public transit, public buildings and facilities and along public rights-of-way. Although
typically associated with removing barriers to wheelchairs and installing curb access ramps, it is
important that the design of all Active Transportation facilities as depicted in these guidelines, take
into account the abilities and disabilities of all potential users.
Examples of accessible transportation elements include paths of travel, grades / cross slopes of the
facilities, height of buttons, water fountains and other features, and clearances to objects.

Bicycle Specific
Pavement Markings
3.1 Bicycle Specific Pavement Markings
Guidance for bicycle specific pavement
markings for both on and off-street bike
facilities is found in Chapter 9 of the California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Designers should consult this publication for the
applicability of available pavement markings,
specific sizes, and their installed location within
the roadway.

3.2 Green Colored Pavement Markings
Green colored markings are an optional
traffic control device used to designate areas
where bicyclists are expected to operate, and
locations where bicyclists and motor vehicles
have potentially conflicting weaving or crossing
movements. The green markings add additional
comfort to bicycle facilities and bring greater
awareness of the presence of bicycles and where
they are likely to be positioned in the traveled
way. Green pavement markings, to not reduce
their effectiveness, should be used primarily
in conflict areas including the beginning of a
bike lane, intersection extensions, crossings at
driveways, or in two-stage turn queue boxes. To
improve the comfort level of cyclists traveling
over the markings, the thickness should be no
more than 95 mils. The colored surface should
be skid resistant and retro reflective. Pre-cut
melt in-place markings are recommended as
they maintain shape and last 5-7 times longer
than traditional painted markings. The green
colored surface should meet the daytime and
nighttime chromaticity coordinates as specified
in the FHWA Interim Approval for Optional Use
of Green Colored Pavement for Bike Lanes.

3.4 Bicycle Friendly Drainage Facilities
When roadway drainage is being designed or modified, the safety of cyclists must be considered.
Care must be taken to ensure drainage features installed within, or adjacent to bike facilities, are
properly designed to enhance bicycle safety.
3.3 Bicycle Specific Signage
Guidance for bicycle specific signage for
on-street bike facilities is found in Chapter 9
of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices. Designers should consult this
publication for the available signing options
and their applicability. Agencies should use
signs that utilize symbols rather than words
whenever possible. Use of symbol signs
enhances the processing of the message and
improves interpretation by people that speak
other languages.
Catch Basin Without Extended Local Depression
Design Guidance
Bicycle-Friendly Drainage Grate
1. Drainage grates should be bike-friendly.
Grates should fit snugly in the outer frame
and the inlets of the grates should be small
shaped, so that a cyclist’s wheel will not
be trapped.
2. Consideration should be given to developing
a modified standard that keeps the local
depression from extending into the bike lane.
3. Nuisance water in cross-gutters pose a
significant risk to cyclists as they turn
through them. Cross-gutters should be
eliminated with new construction and
underground piping installed whenever
possible. If crossgutters are utilized, the
outer edge should align with the upstream
gutter pan and not extend into the bike
lane. Older style cross-gutters with water
channels should be retrofitted. Channels
should be filled in as a temporary measure
until the new crossgutter is built.
4. Manhole rings, water cans, and utility vaults
should be adjusted so they are flush with the
surrounding asphalt and constructed of slip
resistant materials.

Item 2E-82
4.1 Bicycle Boulevards
Many local streets, characterized by low existing speeds and volumes, offer the basic elements of a
safe bicycling environment. The bicycle network can be further enhanced through bicycle boulevards.
Sometimes referred to as Neighborhood Greenways, bicycle boulevards are residential low speed
streets that have been enhanced with traffic calming to further improve the safety, comfort, and
connectivity for cyclists. Traffic calming elements may include signage, pavement markings, speed
and volume reduction strategies, and intersection modifications. Bicycle boulevards are designed
to discourage cut-through traffic but give priority to cyclists as through traffic.
Bicycle boulevards achieve community benefit by maintaining low speed limits, reducing motor-
vehicle volumes, promoting bicycle free-flow travel by assigning right of way to the bicycle
boulevard at intersections, and provide improved traffic control at major arterial intersections.
Bicycle boulevards should have distinct markings and signage that promote the facility as a priority
route for cycling and to bring further awareness to motorists of bicycle usage.
Bicycle boulevards, used to complement traditional bike lanes, usually are parallel with commercial
arterial roadways and provide connectivity to key destinations along the route including schools,
parks, transit stops, and neighborhood commercial centers.
Chapter 4Bicycle Facility Type
Design Guidance
1. Bicycle boulevards should be limited to
roadways with speed limits of 25 mph or
less (15 – 20 mph preferred), average daily
traffic volumes of less than 3,000 vehicles
per day (<1,500 preferred), and a generally
continuous route for cyclists.
2. Agencies often brand their bicycle boulevards
with unique logos and add them to a series
of wayfinding signs throughout the route or
include them as a part of the street name
signs.
3. Sharrow markings complement the signs
and provide further emphasis of increased
bicycle usage. Typical sign placement is
every 500-FT to 1000-FT with additional
locations at key decision points. Sharrows
are placed at intervals of 250-FT.
4. Volume reduction strategies may include
vehicle diverters, intersection medians, and
full road closures.
5. Speed reduction strategies include raised
crosswalks/intersections, roundabouts,
speed humps/speed tables, and roadway
and/or intersection narrowing.
6. Signing includes typical regulatory/warning
signs, and optional specialty wayfinding and
street name signs.
7. Bicycle boulevards are developed as parallel
routes to busy arterials to provide low stress
network connections.
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 25
Item 2E-83
4.2 Class III Marked Shared Roadways
Class III bicycle routes can be enhanced with the use of shared lane markings, also known as
Sharrows. Sharrows provide positional guidance to bicyclists on roadways that are too narrow to be
striped with bicycle lanes and to alert motorists of the location a cyclist may occupy on the roadway.
Shared lane markings are also intended to reduce the chance of a cyclist colliding with an open car
door of a vehicle parked on-street, parallel to the roadway.
1. Sharrows can be augmented with “Bicycles
May Use Full Lane” signs (CAMUTCD R4-11)
to further enhance the awareness of bicycles
operating within the lane.
2. Sharrow placement is typically 13-FT
minimum from the curb face with vehicle
parking. Consideration should be given to
Sharrow placement in the center of the lane
to minimalize wear and encourage full lane
passing by motor vehicles.
3. Sharrows are normally installed on roadways
with speed limits of 35 mph or less.
4. Sharrows may be placed on roadways with
speed limits above 35 mph where there is
expected bicycle travel and the right-hand
lane is too narrow for motor vehicles to pass
cyclists, or on downhill roadway sections of
sustained grades greater than 5 percent.
5. Sharrows can be enhanced with the use
of green background for added visual
conspicuity for the markings.

STRIPED UNUSED ROADWAY AREA
4.3 Class II Bike Lanes
Class II bike lanes provide an exclusive dedicated roadway space for cyclists using striping, pavement
markings, and signage.
Bike lanes are typically located adjacent to motor vehicle lanes and bicyclists travel in the same
direction. Bike lanes, on a two-way roadway without parking, are located on the right side of the
street next to the curb or pavement edge.
Bike lanes, on roadways with parking, are striped between the vehicle lane and the parked vehicle.

Typical Dimensions of Bike Lanes
1. Class II bike lanes are used typically with
streets with average daily traffic (ADT) of less
than 6,000 vehicles and speed limits of less
than 40 mph.
2. Minimum width is 5-FT (6-FT to 8-FT
preferred for roads with higher speed limits)
or extra roadway width available.
3. Consider wider bike lanes where roadway
width allows, to afford cyclists side by side
riding and increased opportunity to avoid
debris without moving out of the lane.
4. Vehicles should not be allowed to park in the
bike lanes.
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 27
Item 2E-85
5. If parking is allowed, a minimum of 3-FT of
buffering or additional parking lane width
should be used to keep cyclists out of the
“door zone.”
6. Often roadways are overbuilt for existing
and/or future capacity needs and a Road Diet
may be implemented to reallocate space for
bicycle facilities. The FHWA has published a
Road Diet Informational Guide to aid in the
decision making for implementing Road
Diets. Also, additional width may be obtained
from narrowing lane widths 10-FT to 11-FT.
Research has shown that lanes widths of less
than 12-FT do not have a negative impact to
roadway safety. The additional width gained
can improve safety and comfort for bicycle
facilities.
7. On roadways with sustained grades
(typically greater than 5 percent), cyclists
can often reach speeds of motor vehicles.
Consideration may be given to a hybrid
combination of bike lane (uphill) and shared
roadway (downhill) to provide the cyclist with
additional space to maneuver and enhance
their visibility within the roadway.
8. Prior to installation, the pavement surface
within the bike lane should be reviewed for
potholes, cracks, seams, and raised bumps
to ensure a smooth riding surface.
9. Existing drainage grates should be replaced
with bike friendly versions prior to striping
the lanes.
10. Bike lane pavement surface, excluding the
gutter pan, should be 4-FT minimum. Using
modified local depressions to maintain
consistent lane width and remove bumps
where asphalt routinely gets pushed up
improves the safety and comfort of the
bike lane.
11. Include a bicycle lane marking at the
beginning of blocks and at regular intervals
along the route. For durability, bicycle lane
markings should be installed out of the
wheel path of turning vehicles. Symbols
are preferred over word messages for
bike markings.
12. Typical bike lane striping is a 6-inch solid
white stripe.
13. As traffic speed and volume increases,
consideration should be given to installing
buffered or separated bike lanes.
14. Bike lanes should maintain a straight
alignment whenever possible. If street width
varies along the bicycle corridor, the designer
should consider striping out the additional
unused roadway area to the right of the bike
lane, rather than have the bike lane follow
the curb alignment. If the number of lanes is
modified, bike lane tapers should be smooth
at transitions to reduce abrupt movements
by cyclists.
15. If roadway is retrofitted with new bike lanes
outside of the regular paving schedule, the
old markings/striping should be removed
entirely, and the roadway slurry sealed so
that the old striping cannot be recognized.
“Blacking out” old striping/markings should
not be used, as it poses a slippery surface
when wet, wears down quickly, and can lead
to lane alignment confusion by roadway
users when the sun is low in the horizon.
16. Bike lanes should be built for both directions
of travel.
17. Refer to the CAMUTCD Chapter 9 for specific
details on bicycle signing and markings.

Item 2E-86
4.4 Class II Buffered Bike Lanes
Buffered bike lanes allow for increased space between the bike lane and the adjacent travel lane
and/or parked cars.
The increased horizontal separation between bicycles and motor vehicles helps to maintain
a minimum of 3-FT of passing clearance as required by State Law. Buffered bike lanes increase
comfort for both bicyclists and motorists, allow the cyclist to avoid debris without weaving into the
adjacent travel lane, and provide opportunity to reduce speeds where excessive pavement exists.

4.5 Separated Bikeways (Cycle Tracks)
A Class IV separated bikeway, also referred to as a Cycle Track, is an exclusive bikeway facility,
physically separated from motor vehicle traffic using barriers such as flexible channelizers/buffer
striping, raised landscaped medians, or on-street parked vehicles.
Cycle Tracks may also be raised to the sidewalk level. Cycle Tracks may also be raised to an
intermediate level between the roadway and the sidewalk or to the sidewalk level.
Separated bikeways offer more protection from motor vehicle traffic than a standard bike lane and
generally provide higher comfort levels for riders of different ages and abilities.
Additionally, pedestrians benefit from this facility type with increased separation from motor
vehicles and reduction of bicycles riding on the sidewalk.

Item 2E-89
Design Guidance
1. Cycle tracks are most effective along
streets with minimal intersection and/or
driveway crossings.
2. Intersections and driveways should be
designed to include signage that alerts
motorists of bicyclists crossing from the Cycle
Track, and proper sight distance should be
provided so that bicyclists and motorists can
see each other. The design should include
measures to reduce motor vehicle turning
speeds across the Cycle Track.
3. For two-way Cycle-tracks, additional
signing/markings should be used at conflict
points to warn motorists that bicyclists will be
approaching from both directions. Two-way
Cycle Tracks may be used when most of the
destinations are on one side of the street.
4. One-way Cycle Tracks should be built on
both sides of the roadway.
5. Intersection treatments are needed to
mitigate turning movement conflicts. These
include modifying signalized intersections
to provide a separate bicycle phase with
turning movement restrictions when active,
protective islands (protected intersection),
Bend-outs, green pavement markings, raised
crosswalks, and additional warning signs
at unsignalized intersections/driveways.
Driveway consolidation is another opportunity
to reduce turning movement conflicts.
6. The width of the Cycle Track should consider
the opportunity for cyclists to pass or avoid
debris, availability of equipment to maintain
the facility (primarily special street sweeper),
available roadway/buffer width, and
expected bicycle volumes. Recommended
minimum width is 7-FT for one-way and
12-FT for two-way facilities. If Golf Carts are
allowed in the Cycle Track, the width should
be increased to 10-FT for one-way and 14-FT
for two-way facilities.
7. Cycle Tracks should be designed to the
right of transit stops to reduce interactions
between bicycles and buses. Crosswalk
markings/signing should be added
to increase awareness of potential pedestrian
crossings.

4.6 Class I Shared-Use Path
A shared-use path supports both recreational and transportation uses, such as walking, bicycling,
and inline skating.
Shared-use paths are one of the most desirable types of bicycle facilities as they accommodate
users of all ages and abilities and are separate from motor vehicle traffic.
Shared-use paths are sought out by large groups of cyclists as they provide a non-stop continuous
link to recreational destinations.
Design Guidance
Public Art Display - Coronado, CA Santa Ana Regional Trail - Yorba Linda, CA
1. The paved width of the path should be
10-FT minimum. A width of 12-FT to 14-FT
is preferred for paths that serve as regional
commuter routes or where higher pedestrian
and bicycle volumes are expected.
2. Minimum design speed for the facility should
be 25 mph as multi-use paths users include
experienced/commuter cyclists and Class 2
E-bike users, who regularly travel at higher
speeds.
3. An additional 2-FT clear zone and/or shoulder
should be provided on each side of the paved
pathway.
4. As path use grows it may be necessary to
separate users to enhance safety and flow.
Runners and walkers should be given a
separate pathway, usually comprised of
different materials. If a separate pathway
is used, it should have a minimum width
of 6-FT and be constructed adjacent to the
paved pathway. A concrete ribbon should
be used to define the pathways and to keep
loose materials off the paved pathway.
5. Facility design should include paved
pull-out areas at regular intervals to
perform bicycle maintenance or to provide
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 33
Item 2E-91
space to rest or relax. Pull-out areas should
include shade trees and benches/natural
seating opportunities.
6. Paved feeder routes should be provided
to parks, schools, community centers, bus
stops, train stations, community entrances,
and major commercial destinations along
the pathway.
7. The design should include access to clean
drinking water using water bottle filling
stations. Drinking water sites are normally
included near restroom facilities to improve
access to potable water.
8. Trail head development should include
parking, trail identification signage, drinking
fountains including a water bottle filling
option, restrooms, and informational kiosks.
Trail head lighting should be considered to
enhance comfort and safety for trail users.
9. Multi-use trails can include interpretive
signing at historical or cultural points
of interest.
10. Public art displays can add visual interest to
the facility.
11. Trail lighting should be considered as
many users recreate and/or commute in
nighttime conditions.
12. Access points should be wide enough to
accommodate the largest expected design
vehicle including bikes pulling trailers,
recumbent trikes, and other adaptive
bicycles. The clear paved path width should
be a minimum of 36-inches.
13. Controlling motor vehicle access should
be accomplished using regulatory signing,
gates, or a center splitting median. Use of
bollards for this purpose should be avoided
as they pose a collision problem due to
limited visibility and profile. If a median
island is used, the path width on each side
should be ½ the total width of the facility.
14. Overhead clearance should be 8-FT minimum
under landscape canopies, underpasses, and
tunnels. Where feasible, a vertical clearance
of 10-FT is preferred. A minimum of 2-FT of
shoulder distance adjacent to each side
of the path should be maintained. Paths
under structures should be designed to
minimize areas available for material storage
frequently used by people camping under
the structures. Proper drainage under the
structures is essential, as these areas will
encounter higher cyclist speed and reduced
sight distances. Water ponding and debris
buildup can pose an unexpected obstruction
causing a rider to lose control and crash.
15. As multi-use trails often follow open water
courses, fencing should be considered to
reduce the possibility of users leaving the
path and descending steep embankments
or crashing into rocks, trees, or other dense
natural landscape features.
16. Lighting for bike paths should be considered,
as users often commute during nighttime
conditions. Daytime lighting should be
provided in underpasses and tunnels.
Path lighting levels should be increased
at intersections, sag curves, obstacles, and
major path direction changes.

Item 2E-92
5.1 Bend Out
To set back the bikeway further, the bikeway can be ‘bent-out’ away from the motor vehicle lanes.
This design enhances visibility by raising the angle at which cars cross the bikeway. Increasing
the bikeway setback can also provide room for turning cars to wait before making the turn. As
it approaches the intersection, the bikeway can be bent away from the motor vehicle lanes and
toward the sidewalk.
Chapter 5Intersection Treatments
1. Bend-out may be used at driveways and
minor street crossings.
2. Design may include a raised crosswalk
and reduced turning radii to reduce motor
vehicle speeds crossing the bikeway.
3. Path should include additional crosswalk
markings/signing to reduce conflicts
between cyclists and pedestrians.
4. Offset distances of 6-FT to 8-FT can be used
with constrained conditions. However, a car
length of 20-FT is preferred to allow vehicles
to yield to path users and not block through
vehicle traffic on the main roadway.
5. Additional markings/signing is installed
before the vehicle crosses the path from the
minor roadway to increase motor vehicle
yielding for bicycles.
6. Sufficient sight distance should be provided
so motorists and bicycles can see each other.
7. Pathway may be raised to sidewalk level
prior to crossing the roadway or driveway.

Item 2E-93
5.2 Protected Intersection
A protected intersection is a design treatment
intended to reduce conflicts between cyclists,
pedestrians, and motor vehicles. This treatment
can be used with Class II Bike Lanes and Cycle
Tracks and provides enhanced connectivity at
intersections where bicycle facilities cross.
Also known as a setback or offset intersection,
the design provides bicycles physical separation
from motor vehicles up until the intersection.
The key element to the separation is the use
of a raised physical barrier at the corner that
improves sight distance for all users, slows the
turning speed of motor vehicles, and reduces
the intersection crossing distance for cyclists
and pedestrians.
Protected intersection
Design Guidance
1. The bikeway setback distance typically
ranges from 6-FT to 20-FT. If adequate
right -of-way is available a setback of 14-FT
to 20-FT is preferred. The setback distance
improves the sight distance for turning
vehicles to see crossing cyclists/pedestrians.
2. The corner island radius should be small
enough to encourage slower turning
speeds of around 10 mph. This is usually
accomplished with a turning radius of 20-FT
or less. Corner islands may have a mountable
area to accommodate larger design vehicles.
Corner islands can be implemented using a
raised curb, raised posts, or a combination
of channelizing markings/different
mountable materials.
3. The bicyclist should have a minimum of 6-FT
to 8-FT of waiting area outside the path of
the cycle track. Additional width may be
added to accommodate bicycles pulling
trailers, cargo bikes, or at high bicycle volume
intersections.
4. To reduce conflicts between users, bicycles
should have intersection crossing markings
adjacent and outside of the standard
pedestrian crosswalk.
5. Pedestrians should have a minimum
separated area of 6-FT to 8-FT in width and
include detectable warning surfaces in
accordance with ADA requirements. Yield
and additional crosswalk markings should
be placed where pedestrians cross the cycle
track.
6. Curb faces adjacent to the bicycle path
should have shallower slopes to reduce
pedal strikes and improve maneuverability.
7. If the protected intersection is signalized,
then a separate bicycle phase that runs
concurrent with non-conflicting motor
vehicle movements should be provided.
36
Item 2E-94
1. The preferred configuration, as shown in
the figure above, is for the cyclist’s path to
remain straight and motor vehicles to cross
their path to access an available right turn
lane. This reduces right of way determination
between bicycles and motorists.
2. Dashed lines, supplemented with green
pavement markings, are used to enhance
the visibility of cyclists and indicate to the
area of conflict.
3. A “Begin Right Turn Lane Yield to Bikes” sign
should be placed at the beginning of the
merge area for additional guidance.
4. If the bike lane installed to the left of the right
turn lane is longer than 200-FT, consideration
should be given to adding extra buffering to
increase the separation from adjacent motor
vehicle lanes.
5.3 Right Turn Only Lanes/Mixing Areas
As cyclists approach intersections, bicycle lanes must transition from a dedicated space to an area
that mixes with motor vehicles.
These areas are points of conflict and increase weaving by both vehicle types.
There are several options for the designer to consider, based on geometry, turning movements,
available roadway width, and vehicle queuing.

5.4 Two-Stage Left Turn Queue Box
With bicycle facilities on multi-lane high speed corridors, it can be challenging for cyclists to make
left turns at intersections due to physical separation, rider ability, or limited gaps in traffic.
Two-stage left turn queue boxes afford the opportunity for bicyclists to make left-turns with
increased comfort level at multi-lane signalized intersections through two separate green signal
indications.
The cyclist proceeds through the intersection to the far side and then waits for the green light of
the next through movement. These two distinct movements can, in certain circumstances, reduce
overall delay for the cyclist.
The treatment can also be used at unsignalized intersections to assist in bicycle alignment while
crossing an intersection, but it may increase bicycle delay as the cyclist waits for an appropriate gap
in traffic.

5.5 Striping/Markings Through Intersections
Bicycle pavement markings through intersections provide positive guidance for bicyclists to
maintain a direct path and assist in maintaining separation from adjacent motor vehicles.
Bicycle Pavement Markings Through Intersections
1. Two-stage turn box dimensions are normally
6-FT x 8-FT for proper maneuverability and to
allow the use of the box by multiple cyclists.
2. The box should be aligned out of the path
of the cyclists and other traffic traveling
straight through.
3. The queue box should be outlined with a
4-inch white stripe.
4. The box should be placed to not interfere
with pedestrian traffic.
5. Two-stage bicycle turn boxes shall include an
appropriately sized bicycle symbol and turn
arrow oriented in the direction of entering
bicycle traffic.
6. Where the paths of other vehicles turning
right on a red signal would cross through
the two-stage bicycle turn box, these turns
shall be prohibited with the use of a No
Turn on Red (R10-11 CAMUTCD) sign. To
reduce vehicle delay when no cyclists are
present, consideration should be given to
the use of specific bicycle detection for the
two-stage turn box and LED blank out turn
restriction signs.

1. Intersection crossing markings may be used
where upstream and downstream bicycle
facilities are present for continuity through
the intersection. They are particularly useful
where bicycle positioning is not clear across
large and complex intersections.
2. Dashed lines may be installed through
intersections and major driveways and
should be the same width and aligned
with the bike facility. Lines should be white
in color, 6-inches wide, 2-FT long, and
spaced at 6-FT intervals. Green pavement
markings or Chevrons may also be used to
add conspicuity. Sharrows should not be
used as extension markings through the
intersection.
3. Striping and markings should be skid
resistant and retro reflectorized.

5.6 Bicycle Bypass Lanes at “T” intersections
People on bicycles benefit from continued momentum when riding. Safety and bicycle flow can be
enhanced if cyclists stopping can be reduced.
At “T” intersections with either stop signs or traffic signals, bypass lanes can allow bicycles to move
through the intersection, independent of motor vehicles.
1. Additional separation may be provided,
allowing bicyclists to proceed through the
intersection without stopping. Separation
should include a physical barrier, so that left-
turning vehicles do not conflict with through
bicycles
2. Signing should be posting indicating cyclists
must yield to pedestrians.
3. Provisions for a separate left-turn area
should be provided allowing left turns from
the bypass lane.
4. Width of the bypass lane should match
the width of the up and downstream
bicycle facility.
5. Curvature of the bypass lane should be
designed at a design speed of 20-25 miles
per hour.
6. This treatment is best suited in areas of light
pedestrian traffic.

Item 2E-100
5.7 Bike Boxes
Bike boxes are used at signalized intersections and provide a designated area located in front of the
vehicular stop line. Bike boxes allow cyclists to get in front of queuing traffic during the red phase
of the signal, enhancing their visibility and giving them priority in moving through the intersection.
Motor vehicles are required to stop at the white stop line at the rear of the box.
Bike boxes are particularly helpful at signalized intersections with high vehicle and/or high bicycle
volumes.
Design Guidance
1. The bike box should have a 14-FT minimum
depth from the back of the crosswalk to the
white vehicle stop bar.
2. A post mounted “Stop Here on Red” sign,
coupled with a “Bicycles Exempt” placard
mounted below should be installed at the
stop line to improve compliance.
3. A “No Right Turn on Red” sign shall be
installed overhead to prevent vehicles from
entering the Bike Box.
4. Although optional, green colored pavement
is recommended within the box and the
approach lane to increase conspicuity of the
Bike Box.
5. Access to the box should be provided using
an ingress lane (50-FT minimum length).
6. The Bike Box shall contain at least one bicycle
symbol per CAMUTCD standard marking
requirements.
7. If the Bike Box is provided across multiple
lanes of an approach, countdown pedestrian
indications shall be provided for the
crosswalk across the approach.

6.1 Driveway Crossings
Driveways provide access to numerous destinations along a corridor and are a source of conflict
between bicycles and motor vehicles.
Motorists often misjudge the speed of bicycles or are focused primarily on other conflicting motor
vehicles when executing turning movements.
Cyclists are commonly subject to motor vehicle turning conflicts from multiple directions including
turning right (right-hook), turning left (left-cross), and pulling out or exiting the driveway. As
driveway volume increases, extra steps should be taken to reduce these common conflicts.
Design Guidance
1. For minor driveways, bike striping may be
solid, or dashed across the driveway.
2. At major driveways, bike lane striping may be
configured like an intersection with dashed
mixing areas 100-FT to 200-FT in length.
3. Green conflict and additional bike symbol
markings may be added at the driveway
to enhance the conspicuity of the bicycle
facility. Yield to bicycle signing should be
installed in advance of the driveway to
augment the green conflict markings.
4. Driveway radii should be constrained to
reduce vehicle speeds turning across the
facility.
5. Consider converting driveways to right in/out
to reduce turning conflicts.
6. Driveways should be consolidated whenever
possible, to reduce turning movement
conflicts.
7. For separated facilities, the path may be
raised to the height of the sidewalk to give
right-of-way priority to the cyclist and slow
vehicle entry speeds. Bend-outs may be
used to enhance the visibility of the cyclists
to turning motor vehicles.
8. Sufficient sight distance for exiting vehicles
should be provided to maximize visibility of
approaching cyclists. Street furniture and
landscaping above 30-inches should not be
placed within the sight distance triangle.
9. Driveways leading to dirt access roads should
be paved for a minimum of 25-FT to reduce
rocks and other debris from being thrown
into the bike lanes.

7.1 Marked Crosswalks
Marked crosswalks guide pedestrians and alert drivers to a roadway crossing location. Crosswalks
can be marked using painted lines or thermoplastic material embedded with reflective glass beads
to enhance nighttime visibility.
1. The crosswalk should be a minimum of
6-FT in width and align as closely with the
intended walking route. Preferred typical
crosswalk width is between 10-FT to 12-FT
and should be wider to accommodate large
crossing groups typically found near schools
and commercial and/or job centers. Wider
crosswalks allow opposing crossing groups
to comfortably pass each other during
the crossing movements. Crosswalks are
typically white in color unless near a school,
where they are marked in yellow.
2. The crosswalk should align with curb
access ramps. Curb access ramp should be
completely contained within the marked
crosswalk.
3. At both signalized and unsignalized
locations, crosswalks may be high visibility
Continental style. High visibility crosswalks
greatly enhance the visibility of the crossing
and improve driver yielding behavior.
Continental style crosswalks are comprised
of 24-inches solid bars marked parallel with
the traffic flow and spaced 4-FT on center.
Vehicle/pedestrian conflicts can be further
reduced with the addition of a 12-inches
white advanced stop bar, located 5-FT from
the marked crosswalk.
4. The marked crosswalk should have good
sight distance for approaching vehicles.
Parking, if present, should be restricted a
minimum of 25-FT in advance and beyond
the marked crosswalk.

Chapter 7Pedestrian Infrastructure
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 47
Item 2E-105
7.2 Sidewalk Zones & Widths
Sidewalks provide accessible pedestrian travel
and active public space and should be provided
on both sides of the roadway. Good walking
infrastructure creates a lively and active
street. Active streets include amenities such
as landscaping, pedestrian scale lighting, wide
walking paths, seating, and an abundance of
commercial activity/displays. These amenities
should be organized and balanced to ensure
safe and accessible travel. Sidewalks are defined
in a set of five zones as follows:
Frontage Zone
The area adjacent to the property line providing
a transition between public sidewalk and the
adjacent building frontages. The Frontage Zone
affords opportunities for commercial seating,
window shopping, signs, and landscape
planters. Typical width varies between 2-FT
and 10-FT.
Through Zone
The portion of the sidewalk designated for
pedestrian travel along the street. The zone
should be completely clear of impediments.
Width should be 4-FT minimum per ADA
requirements. Preferred width is 6-FT for
passing and maneuverability and should be
increased to 10-FT or more to accommodate
large pedestrian volumes such as in a
downtown environment, near schools, or bus
stops. The surface should be smooth and free
of grates, underground utility boxes, sign posts
and other elements. Clearance to trees and
other overhead features should be maintained
at 84-inches or greater.
Furnishing Zone
The portion of the sidewalk used for street trees,
landscaping, transit stops, streetlights, signal
poles, public art, and other street furniture.
Typical widths vary between 2-FT and 6-FT to
accommodate trees and other landscaping.
When possible, additional width should be
provided to increase pedestrian comfort with
further separation from passing vehicles.
Street trees greatly enhance the walkability of
sidewalk space. As a best practice, agencies
should strive to provide 30 percent or greater
shaded sidewalk using water-wise native trees.
Edge Zone
The area used by people getting in and out
of vehicles parked at the curbside and is
the interface between the roadway and the
sidewalk. This is walkable space and should be a
minimum of 18-inches wide and should be free
of vertical elements such as utility poles, sign
posts, trash cans, bike racks, and streetlights.
Extension Zone
The area where pedestrian space may be
extended into the width of a parking lane
with the use of curb extensions. In downtown
of commercial shopping districts, this flexible
space can be used for additional seating/parklet
development and bicycle corrals.

7.3 Median Refuge Island
Median refuge Islands are generally located at the midpoint of the marked crossing and placed
between opposing lanes of traffic.
Median Refuge Islands serve to reduce crossing distances, provide space for signs and other traffic
control features, allow pedestrians and bicycles to navigate one direction of traffic at a time, and
provide a traffic calming element to the roadway.
Median Refuge IslandMedian Refuge Island and Marked Crosswalk
1. Width of median should be 6-FT minimum.
However, median width should be extended
to available width of the turn lane to the
greatest extent possible. Median width
should consider bicyclists with tagalongs
and/or trailers.
2. The refuge area should be outlined with
roadway striping and raised pavement
markers compatible with existing
roadway striping in compliance with
CAMUTCD requirements.
3. The median area should be supplemented
with regulatory and warning signs in
compliance with CAMUTCD requirements.
4. The median clear width should be a
minimum of 4-FT, but the preferred width is
the same as the marked crosswalk.
5. The length of the median refuge should be
20-FT minimum including the crossing area.
6. If used with a raised crosswalk, the median
refuge island should be the same height as
the crosswalk.

Item 2E-108
7.4 Curb Extensions (Bulb Outs)
Curb extensions, also referred to as bulb outs, extend the sidewalk or curb line into the street or
parking lane, thereby reducing the street width and subsequent pedestrian crossing distance. Curb
extensions improve sight distance between the driver and pedestrian and are particularly effective
at mid-block crosswalks.
Other advantages include additional space for street furniture, landscaping, and other amenities,
reduced incidence of illegal parking across crosswalks, and increased pedestrian corner waiting
area. They also provide space to use dual curb access ramps.
1. Curb extensions should not extend into the
intended path of bicyclists.
2. The turning radius at the corner should be
designed to maintain a 10-15 mph vehicle
speed.
3. The transition from the curb to the bulb out
should include a reverse curve transition of
equal radii to facilitate street sweeping and
reducing vehicle curb strikes.
Example of a Curb Extension (Bulb Out)
Design Guidance
4. Curb extension should include curb access
ramps with ADA compliant detectable
warning surfaces.
5. Curb extensions should not be used
on streets without a parking lane. Curb
extensions should not decrease outside lane
width to less than 11-FT. A practical use for
curb extensions are Transit Bulbs. Transit
bulbs extend the sidewalk out at transit
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 51

stops to improve the overall experience for
people using transit. The bulbs provide more
space to wait and easier access to the vehicle
as it arrives.
6. Bike lanes should be painted continuously
as the bike lane passes the curb extension.
The gutter should not extend into the bike
lane.
7. Curb extension radii should be designed to
balance the needs of all users of the roadway
and consider the volume and frequency of
each of the users.
8. The design vehicle for the curb return can
make the turn within their respective lanes.
This design is used for frequent turning
movements at the intersection such as
buses and small delivery vehicles.
9. Curb return radii may be designed to
accommodate larger infrequent vehicles
to turn using opposing lanes based upon
engineering judgment.

7.5 Offset Crosswalks (Z Crossings)
An Offset Crosswalk provides all of the advantages of a median refuge island with the added benefit
of directing pedestrians/bicyclists to look toward oncoming traffic before committing to cross the
second half of the street.
Offset Crosswalk Example
1. The crosswalk offset can be at right angles or
skewed depending available median width
and existing site conditions.
2. The median width should be a minimum
of 10-FT.
3. Design should include a portion of parallel
curbing aligned with the crosswalk to
redirect pedestrians to cross perpendicular
to the roadway.
4. Crossing may include pedestrian scale
fencing to further emphasize the intended
crossing path.
5. The median clear width should be a
minimum of 4-FT, but the preferred width is
the same as the crosswalk.
6. Crossing orientation should direct
pedestrians to face oncoming traffic briefly
to aid in decision when to cross the roadway.
7. If landscaping is used near the crossing, it
should be low growth and the plantings
should not impede available sight distance.
8. Offset crosswalks can be combined with
bulb-outs to further reduce crossing
distances.

7.6 Raised Crosswalks
A raised crosswalk or speed table is a higher section of pavement with a marked crosswalk usually
at sidewalk grade and spans the entire width of the roadway.
Raised intersections have sloped ramps for the vehicles leading and following the flat raised
crosswalk section.
Raised CrosswalkRaised Crosswalk Example
1. The raised portion of the crosswalk is
installed at the same level as the sidewalk
and is typically 10-FT to 15-FT wide allowing
both vehicle wheels to be on the table at the
same time.
2. Raised crosswalk approach grades are a
minimum of 6-FT in length. The raised
crosswalk may be constructed with
contrasting materials such as concrete
or pavers for enhanced visibility of the
crosswalk.
3. The crosswalk should be a high visibility
type and should be supplemented with
regulatory and warning signs in compliance
with CAMUTCD requirements.
4. Use of raised crosswalks should be limited
to non-emergency/transit routes and
low-speed streets.
5. Parking should be restricted (normally 25-FT)
on both sides of the crosswalk to maintain
sight distance for crossing pedestrians and
bicyclists.
6. Impacts to existing drainage patterns must
be considered in the design of the raised
crosswalk.
7. Truncated domes are installed at the edge
of the crosswalk allowing visually impaired
pedestrians to detect the crossing.
8. Raised crosswalks can be combined with
bulb-outs to further reduce crossing
distances.

7.7 Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) can enhance safety by reducing crashes between vehicles
and pedestrians at unsignalized intersections and mid-block pedestrian crossings by increasing
driver awareness of potential pedestrian conflicts. With solar power and wireless communication,
RRFBs offer low-cost benefits to pedestrian crossings that can be rapidly deployed. Studies have
demonstrated that RRFBs substantially increase yielding rates at crosswalks, in many cases greater
than 90 percent.
1. The RRFB is dark and activates only upon
pedestrian actuation. Pedestrians can
manually activate RRFBs with a push-button
or passively with photo-sensor bollards.
2. Device is installed in conjunction with a
marked crosswalk. High visibility Continental
style is the recommended crosswalk type and
the color is either white or yellow depending
upon proximity to a school. White triangular
yield markings are installed in advance of
the crosswalk.
3. RRFBs should be installed on both sides of
the crosswalk facing each direction of traffic.
If a median is present, the RRFBs should also
be installed within the median on both sides
of the crosswalk.
4. RRFB operation is based upon recommended
crossing times for pedestrians and should
cease after the pedestrian(s) clear the
crosswalk.
5. Parking should be restricted in advance
and beyond the crosswalk based upon
vehicle approach speeds and sight distance
requirements.
6. Installation should include ADA compliant
curb access ramps.

7.8 High Intensity Activated Crosswalk/Pedestrian
Hybrid Beacons
A High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signal, also known as a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
(PHB), is a traffic control device designed to help pedestrians safely cross busy or higher-speed
roadways at midblock crossings and uncontrolled intersections. This traffic control device is often
used at locations that may not meet traditional pedestrian signal warrants. The PHB head consists
of two red lenses above a single yellow lens. These lenses remain “dark” until a pedestrian desiring
to cross the street pushes the call button to activate the beacon. The signal then initiates a yellow
to red interval consisting of steady and flashing lights that directs motorists to slow and come to a
stop. The pedestrian signal then displays a walk indication to the pedestrian. Once the pedestrian
has crossed the roadway, the hybrid beacon again goes dark.
1. Two overhead signal indications with three
sections (circular yellow centered below two
horizontally aligned circular red) are installed
facing both directions of the major street.
2. Overhead “Crosswalk Stop on Red” signs
(R10-23) are installed to indicate the device is
associated with a pedestrian crossing.
3. Device is installed in conjunction with a
marked crosswalk. High visibility Continental
style is the recommended crosswalk type and
the color is either white or yellow depending
upon proximity to a school. White stop bars
are installed in advance of the crosswalk.
4. The pedestrian signal heads should include
countdown timers.
5. The beacon is pedestrian activated.
Pedestrian push buttons should be
ADA compliant and include countdown
instructional signs.
6. Parking is restricted 100-FT in advance and
at least 20-FT beyond the marked crosswalk.

8.1 Bicycle Specific Equipment at Traffic Signals
With all new or modified traffic signals, the CAMUTCD requires that bicyclists be detected, unless
the traffic signal is permanently placed in recall or a fixed time operation.
Traffic signal detection should be sensitive enough to detect a variety of bicycle types and include
all potential movements at the intersection.
Bicycle detection technology should provide enough green time so that bicyclists of all abilities can
reach the far side of the intersection past the last conflicting motor vehicle lane (see Chapter 8.2).
Where bicycle loop detectors are not present, cyclists are often forced to wait for a motor vehicle to
trigger the signal phase.
Where motor vehicle traffic is light, cyclists will be forced to wait for an acceptable gap and cross
against a red signal. Providing bicycle detection at intersections adds benefit to motorcycles and
other smaller motorized vehicles that also can go undetected.
In urban and suburban areas, bicycle facilities routinely go through signalized
intersections. It is important to consider the unique operating characteristics of
bicyclists in traffic signal timing and design.
Chapter 8Signalized Intersections
Bicycle Detection Marking Bicycle Push Button
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 57
Item 2E-115
Design Guidance
1. Bicycle detection includes the use of
in-ground loops, bicycle push buttons, radar,
video, and microwave technology.
2. When implementing new bicycle
detection technology, consider using
hardware/software that can discriminate
between bicycles and motor vehicles. This
allows special timing for bicycles when
they are present and can be used to adjust
the clearance intervals when bicyclists are
exposed to conflicting vehicular traffic.
3. If in-ground loops are used for bicycle
detection in bike lanes, they should be wired
separate from adjacent general-purpose
lane traffic loops so sensitivity can be
independently adjusted.
4. Consider adding supplemental bike loop
markings showing proper lane position for
bicyclists to be detected. Bicycle detection
may be paired with pole mounted indicators
that illuminate when cyclists waiting at an
intersection have been detected.
5. A standard bicycle should be used to test
and fine tune the bicycle detection after it
is installed.
6. For traffic movements without bicycle
detection, minimum green times should
be set to accommodate bicycle traffic in
accordance with the formula in Chapter 8.2.
7. To maximize separation from other
conflicting motor vehicles, bicycles may
have an independent signal phase and
indications per CAMUTCD requirements.
Typical installations include right turn on red
restrictions when the phase is activated.
8. It is inconvenient for bicyclists to push a
pedestrian button to cross a minor roadway.
Bicycle push buttons may be installed
adjacent to the bike lane, positioned close
to the curb. Buttons should be 2-inch
ADA compliant versions with bicycle specific
signing.
9. Visibility of bicycles is reduced on
multi-lane highways and cyclists are
especially vulnerable during the traffic
signal clearance interval. Consideration
should be given to adding protected
left-turn phasing on the major roadway to
reduce turning movement conflicts.
58
Item 2E-116
8.2 Traffic Signal Timing for Bicyclists
Typically, a vehicle-based minimum green time
for a signal phase is between 5 and 15 seconds.
However, bicyclists accelerate at a slower rate
than motor vehicles, and for larger intersections,
these minimums may not allow them to cross
the intersection prior to release of a conflicting
vehicular movement.
The CAMUTCD recommends the following
minimum timing guidance to allow bicyclists
to cross an intersection: “the sum of the
minimum green, plus the yellow change
interval, plus any red clearance interval should
be sufficient to allow a bicyclist riding a bicycle
6-FT long to clear the last conflicting lane at a
speed of 14.7 ft/sec plus an additional effective
start-up time of 6 seconds.”
The following is the general formula and
calculated values.
8.3 Traffic Signal Timing for Pedestrians
Sufficient pedestrian crossing time is crucial
for a well-functioning walking environment.
The CAMUTCD recommends using a walking
speed of 3.5 ft/sec and an initial walk interval of
7 seconds.
In areas where older or disabled pedestrians are
expected, it is recommended that the assumed
walking speed be reduced to 2.8 ft/sec.
The crossing intersection crossing distance is
typically measured from the curb face to the far
side of the traveled way.
This distance can be extended to measure from
curb-to-curb for enhanced benefit. The yellow
and all-red clearance interval can be subtracted
from the required total crossing time. The
following is the basic formula used:
Separate Bicycle Indications at Traffic Signal
Minimum Green +Y+R >= 6 seconds+(W+6) / 14.7 ft/sec
Y = Length of Yellow Interval (sec)
R = Red Clearance Interval (sec)
W = Distance from Limit Line to Far Side of Last Conflicting Lane (ft)
Pedestrian Clearance Interval (sec) = W / 3.5 ft/sec – Y+R
Y = Length of Yellow Interval (sec)
R = Red Clearance Interval (sec)
W = Measured Crossing Curb-to-curb Width (ft)
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 59
Item 2E-117
8.4 Pedestrian Signal Operations
Leading Pedestrian Intervals
Pedestrians face increased risk when vehicles
turn through crosswalks and fail to yield. One
opportunity to reduce this conflict is the use
of a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI). An LPI
gives pedestrians a head start when entering
the crosswalk by displaying a Walk Indication
ahead of the permissive green interval. The LPI
increases the visibility of crossing pedestrians
and gives them priority within the intersection.
LPIs are particularly effective where both
pedestrian volumes and turning volumes are
high. The duration of the LPI should be at least
3 seconds and may be increased to 7 seconds
allowing pedestrians to cross one full lane of
traffic.
All-way Walk/Pedestrian Scramble
In areas with very high pedestrian volumes,
a pedestrian scramble phase or exclusive
pedestrian phase, provides pedestrians with
exclusive access to a signalized intersection
while vehicular traffic is stopped in all
directions. Pedestrians cross in all directions
including diagonally. Since pedestrians can
cross diagonally, diagonal crosswalks are
painted in the roadway, and a sign is installed at
the crossing indicating that diagonal crossing
is allowed.
Pedestrian Recall
When a pedestrian movement is set in recall
operation, pedestrian crossings are assumed
to occur on every signal cycle, and the signal
should provide sufficient time for pedestrians
to complete the crossing. Pedestrian recall
enhances pedestrian comfort and convenience
over actuated operation. Pedestrian recall
operation is most commonly used in urban
areas that experience significant pedestrian
volumes where crossings occur on most signal
cycles. Pedestrian recall can be programmed
for certain times of the day if the crossing
volumes primarily occur during peak periods. A
best practice for the use of pedestrian recall is
when pedestrians cross on at least 75 percent
of signal cycles for three or more hours per day.

9.1 Designing for Bicycles in Roundabouts
Roundabouts are a safer alternative to traffic signals and all-way stop signs as they eliminate
the vehicle conflict points that lead to the most severe types of intersection crashes. However,
roundabouts can be intimidating and difficult for bicyclists to navigate.
It is important that roundabouts be designed to accommodate bicyclists of all ages and abilities
and provide continuity of the bicycle facility within the network.
1. Utilize single-lane roundabouts when
possible to reduce vehicle speeds,
multi-threat collision scenarios, the number
of conflict points faced by cyclists, and to
reduce crossing distances at crosswalks.
2. Provide an alternate bypass facility that
circulates around the roundabout allowing
bicyclists to exit the roundabout.
3. Reduce the speed of circulating motor
vehicles to less than 25 mph (15 mph is
preferred). Safety within roundabouts is
greatly enhanced when the speed differential
between bicycles and motor vehicles is low.
4. Provide Sharrow markings within the
roundabout to encourage experienced
cyclists to take the lane and encourage
single file circulating vehicle movements.
5. Bike lanes should terminate prior to entering
the roundabout.
6. Adequate sight distance should be provided
at all crossing points. High visibility signing
and markings should be used at crosswalks
to increase drivers yielding to cyclists.
7. When used with protected facilities, it is
preferred that the cyclist path be separate
and continuous around the roundabout

10.1 Bicycles in Work Zones
Construction zones pose problems for cyclists as the impacted roadway area is often narrowed, has
uneven pavement surfaces, loose construction material, and operating or stored equipment. These
conditions should be considered, and the contractor and inspector should take necessary steps to
increase the safety of cyclists during the construction.
Chapter 10Construction Zones
1. If the roadway is posted with a speed limit of
35 mph or less, and bicycle facilities cannot
be maintained, consider augmenting the
traffic control plan with “Bicycles May Use
Full Lane” signage.
2. If the same condition is on roadways with
posted speed limits greater than 35 mph, the
traffic control plan should include a signed

for bicycles.
3. If k-rail is used to define the work zone, the
plan should include a temporary bike path
through the work zone, separated from
adjacent motor vehicles as shown in the
images below.
4. If construction plating is used, it should be
recessed and flush with the surrounding
asphalt, slip resistant, and have no seams
between the plates that could trap a bicycle
wheel. The plating should be temporarily
secured and routinely monitored to ensure
no movement due to traffic loading.
5. Special warning signs for bicycles can be used
to advise of modified roadway conditions.
6. Maintain a minimum of 5-FT bicycle lane
width outside of sandbags, signing, and
material storage.
7. Provide transitions for uneven pavement
surfaces when possible, especially when
construction runs parallel or is angled along
the path of the cyclist. If temporary traffic
control will require bicyclists to travel over
rumble strips for an extended period of time,
the pavement indentations should be filled
in to provide a smooth riding surface.
8. Consult Part 6 of the CAMUTCD for traffic
control elements and bicycle specific signing.

10.2 Pedestrians in Work Zones
When contractors are working on or near a sidewalk or walking path as part of a temporary traffic
control (TTC) zone, pedestrians who use that sidewalk or path, including individuals with disabilities,
must be accommodated.
When existing pedestrian facilities are disrupted, closed, or relocated in a TTC zone, the temporary
facilities shall be consistent with the features present in the existing pedestrian facility.
1. Ensure that pedestrians Are protected
from trenches and holes adjacent to the
side-walk/path. Concrete barriers, plastic
channelizing devices, and temporary fencing
can be used to guide pedestrians through
the work area.
2. Sight distance should be maintained for
pedestrians at intersections and crossings.
Work vehicles, equipment, and materials
should be placed to maintain available sight
distance.
3. Access from the sidewalk to existing bus
stops should be maintained. If access to
the bus stop cannot be maintained, then
the stop should be temporarily closed, and
direction should be provided indicating
alternative bus stops.
4. The existing pedestrian walking path must
be clear of mud or dirt, temporary signs,
barriers, construction materials, vehicles,
and construction equipment. Overhead
clearance should be maintained to a
minimum of 7-FT. Available width of the path
should be a minimum of 4-FT.
5. Often a sidewalk or path cannot be
maintained during construction and a
pedestrian detour is required. The temporary
path should be designated with pedestrian
detour signing and channelization well in
advance of the work zone.
6. Part 6 of the CAMUTCD should be consulted
in the development of pedestrian specific
work zone accommodations.
Special Considerations

Item 2E-122
11.1 Pavement Surfaces
Surface condition and pavement smoothness
are important to bicyclist comfort and control.
Pavement cracks, bumps, and potholes within
the roadway create impediments for people on
bicycles and will often impact route selection.
Poor pavement quality will encourage cyclists
to move away from or completely off the
facility. This reduces bicyclist predictability by
motorists and encourages sharing the lane
with motor vehicles. Pavement defects often
lead to flat tires, expensive wheel damage, and
bicycle crashes.
Proper pavement maintenance is essential for
bicycle facilities to maximize their usage and
improve safety. Particular attention should
be given to areas where pavement meets
concrete. These seams are often raised due to
AC pushing or damaged due to water splashing
from crossgutters. Pavement surfaces that vary
more than 3/8-inches should be grinded down
or repaved to improve the surface ride-ability.
Edges around underground manholes and
utility boxes erode creating an uneven surface
that can cause a bicyclist to lose control and
crash. This becomes increasingly important on
downhill grades where speeds increase.
Typical best practices are to include bicycle
facilities, including off-street trails, in the
regular maintenance cycle and budget, make
pavement defect repairs a higher priority, and
achieve the same pavement quality standard
used for motor vehicles. In addition to routine
pavement maintenance, agencies should create
policies and standards for utility work and other
projects so that pavement cuts are backfilled
in a manner that returns the roadway to the
original pavement condition. Trench repairs
should include the entire bike facility width
to eliminate uneven surfaces and smooth ride
quality. Regular inspection of trench repairs
should be conducted to identify any settling of
modified asphalt.
Lastly, maintenance of the facility should
be considered through the design process.
Agencies should include their maintenance
staff in the planning and design process for the
facility. Often increased or difficult maintenance
can be avoided by addressing potential problem
areas during construction and consideration of
maintenance equipment type and availability.
Whenever possible, bicycle facilities should
be installed in conjunction with resurfacing
projects. This ensures the new bicycle facilities
will be built with a high-quality pavement
condition, reduces or eliminates pavement
scarring from striping modifications, and
achieves quantity of scale as part of the overall
striping cost for the roadway.
The Active Transportation staff should be given
an opportunity to review the paving locations for
potential striping modifications that can modify
or incorporate bike facilities into the project.

Active Transportation Design Guidelines 65
Item 2E-123
11.2 Street Sweeping
An integral part of a well-functioning bicycle
network is providing for regular maintenance
including sweeping of the facilities and
removing any debris. Rocks, sand, and other
debris are pushed into bike lanes by adjacent
vehicle traffic and deposited by adjacent eroding
slopes. Routinely, glass bottles are thrown from
passing motorists and broken within the bike
lanes. Like poor pavement quality, debris and
patches of sand can lead to increased flat tires,
wheel damage, and increased crashes.
Cyclists will often avoid key bike routes, or
simply ride adjacent to them, if they are not
regularly swept.
It is a best practice to sweep bike facilities
bi-monthly or more often in areas prone to
excessive debris or poor drainage.
One important aspect of street sweeping that
is often overlooked is continuity of the bicycle
path through an intersection. Street sweepers,
usually for efficiency, turn the corner when
they approach an intersection rather than go
straight through. This leads to un-swept areas in
the intersection, including bike lanes between
the regular vehicle lanes and large triangular
areas formed by all traffic movements near
the corner. These areas, impacted by motor
vehicles pushing debris outward, are usually full
of nails, glass, tire weights, and rocks. Cyclists
are forced to ride through these areas leading
to additional distraction and weaving as they
avoid the debris.
For protected facilities, constructed width may
not allow for traditional street sweepers to
maintain the facility. Agencies should consider
the purchase of smaller street sweepers to
ensure regular maintenance of the bike way.
These smaller sweepers are also practical for
sweeping sidewalks and other walkways.
Agencies should consider generating exclusive
street sweeping schedules for primary bicycle
routes to address this issue.
Another consideration of a successful
bicycle network is coordinated maintenance
responsibilities across multiple jurisdictions.
Agencies with small portions of the network
should consider contracting with larger
adjacent jurisdictions to ensure frequent and
complete maintenance of the bicycle facilities.

Item 2E-124
11.3 Landscaping/Weed Abatement
Landscaping can pose on-going maintenance
concerns for bike facilities. Bike lanes are often
partially or fully blocked by overgrown limbs and
bushes. This can generate additional weaving of
cyclists in and out of the bike lane, can strike a
cyclist as they pass, and catch a handlebar and
cause the cyclist to crash.
It is important that landscaping adjacent to bike
paths and lanes be trimmed on a regular basis
and routinely reviewed for overgrown conditions
outside the normal maintenance cycle.
Bike facilities should be field reviewed after
significant wind events to prioritize removal of
any fallen limbs.
Another concern is lifted asphalt due to invasive
tree roots. If not addressed early on, lifted
asphalt sections can pose a risk for cyclists as
they ride over them. This is another area that
can be addressed during the design phase of
the project through a review by the landscape
maintenance staff.
One major concern of cyclists is getting flat
tires while riding. This can pose a challenge for
a cyclist to repair the tire in areas of high traffic
and minimal lighting and can lead to loss of
control of the bicycle.
One of the biggest causes of flat tires is
Tribulus Terrestris, also known as goat’s head or
puncturevine. Puncturevine is a summer annual
weed and it’s commonly found throughout the
region. One of the most undesirable traits of
puncturevine is the dangerous, sharp seedpods
it produces. The small burrs routinely puncture
bicycle tires. Puncturevine located near bicycle
facilities should be eradicated. Puncturevine
plants should be disposed of with normal
rubbish and should not be comingled in green
waste as the plants will continue to replicate
when the seeds are included with mulching.

12.1 Bicycle Crossings at Railroad Tracks
Railroad tracks can be a problem for cyclists as they travel over the crossing.
The tracks are often not oriented perpendicular to the roadway, the adjacent asphalt is often raised
due to pushing from heavy loads, and the tracks can be slippery in inclement weather.
Bike Lane Designed to Cross Perpendicular to Railroad Crossing
1. Bike facilities and sidewalks crossing
railroad tracks should be designed to cross
perpendicular to the tracks.
2. The crossing should be upgraded to include
flangeways and concrete/rubber panels, so
the crossing is level and flush with the top
of the rail.
3. Bike facilities that pass under rail crossings
should be protected from falling ballast by
fencing or protective netting.
4. Tracks that have been abandoned should be
removed or paved over to provide a smooth
continuous riding path.
5. Panels used at rail crossings should be flush
against each other so that bicycle wheels
will not be trapped in the seam.

1. Bus stops should be located near
intersections to reduce mid-block crossings.
Far side stops are preferred to improve
visibility and operations at the intersections.
2. Modern buses are usually equipped with
bicycle racks. Sidewalk should be wider
(8-inches minimum) to improve access
for pedestrians as bicycles are loaded and
unloaded at the front of the bus.
3. Bus stop amenities may include bicycle racks
for short-term parking.
4. Class II bike lanes are normally striped to the
left of the bus stop. They may be dashed and
include green conflict markings to enhance
the presence of bicycle traffic to transit
operators. An alternative design is a floating
bus stop. With this design, the bike facility
is routed to the right and separated from
the bus waiting area. Floating bus stops
reduce conflicts between buses and cyclists.
Additional markings and signs should be
provided at the pedestrian crossing path for
the stop.
5. Separated bikeways should be designed to
go to the right of bus stops with additional
signing and markings to reduce conflicts
between bicycles and entering/existing
bus riders.
6. Major bus stops should include turnouts
to allow transit vehicles to alight without
blocking the bike lane.
7. Asphalt at bus stops tend to degrade over
time due to increased loading from buses.
Damaged and sunken asphalt can generate
water ponding and create an impediment
to bicycle travel. PCC bus pads should be
considered to reduce asphalt buckling
and/or pushing at the bus stop location.
13.1 Bus Stops
Primary bicycle facilities typically align with major transit routes. Bus stops should be placed and
constructed to accommodate bicycles.
Bicycles are often used to make the “last mile” connections to both home and work and should be
included in the design of the transit network.

Chapter 14Bicycle Amenities
Features of a Bicycle Friendly Community include amenities conveniently located along
key bicycle routes and at end of trip destinations. These amenities may include quality
bicycle parking, access to showers and lockers, either at worksites or local gyms, repair
stations, plentiful access to clean drinking water, and wayfinding signing.
Active Transportation Design Guidelines 73
Item 2E-131
14.1 Short-Term Bicycle Parking
As a bicycle network expands, the need for end of trip amenities increases including bicycle parking.
Bicycle parking is categorized as either short-term or long-term. Short-term parking is used at
shopping centers and similar land uses and can be installed in conjunction with long-term bicycle
parking at train and transit stations, work sites, and schools. Short-term bicycle parking racks provide
support for the bicycle and allow for two or more points of contact for typical U-lock security. Bicycle
parking facilities should be provided at other public destinations, including government buildings,
community centers, and parks. Bicycle parking should be in a safe, secure area and highly visible.
Bicycle parking on sidewalks in commercial areas should be provided and may include decorative
features to match the adjacent businesses. Temporary bike parking can include E-bike charging
stations. Businesses can benefit by offering this amenity to their customers.
1. Bicycle racks should support the frame in
two places which also allows one or both
wheels to be secured.
2. Racks should be installed with enough room
between adjacent parked bicycles.
3. Racks should be installed in areas of good
lighting, as close to the front entrance of
the building it is serving, and if possible, in a
covered area to provide weather protection.
4. Racks should not impede the path of
visually challenged pedestrians and meet
all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements.
5. Standalone staple or inverted U-shaped
racks are preferred.
6. Agencies may consider “decorative” bike
racks that highlight adjacent businesses or
promote overall bicycle program.

14.2 Long Term Bicycle Parking
Long-term parking is an end of trip amenity that
provides for the security of bicycles for extended
periods of time. Most long-term parking is
accomplished with bike lockers or designated
bike rooms located inside a building.
Bicyclists are usually more comfortable storing
their bicycles in lockers for long periods because
they offer increased security and protection
from the weather. Lockers can be accessed
with traditional key systems or through
subscription services.
Long-term bicycle parking facilities provide a
valuable incentive to encourage commuting
by bicycle for both students and employees.
Long term parking is also used at train and bus
stations for storing bicycles used for completing
the “last mile” to work or home. Long-term
parking is normally installed in well-lit and
well-traveled areas.
Long-term parking locations can also be
enhanced with bicycle fix it stations, an air
pump, and bicycle part vending machines.

14.3 Bike Corrals
In commercial areas, demand for bicycle parking can often exceed available sidewalk space. To
accommodate the additional demand, one design solution is the Bicycle Corral.
Bicycle Corrals are a gathering of bike racks installed in a traditional vehicle parking space. The area
of one parking space can provide parking for up to 12 bicycles.
Bike Corrals
1. Bicycles should have a roadway entry width
of 6-FT.
2. Typical dimensions of a Bicycle Corral would
be 8-FT wide and 20-FT to 25-FT long.
3. Bicycle parking can be oriented either
perpendicular to the curb face or at an angle
of 45 or 60 degrees. Racks should be installed
3-FT apart and 30-inches from the curb face.
4. Location of a Bicycle Corral should be as
close to an entrance and near multiple
commercial destinations such as coffee
shops and outdoor cafes.
5. The boundary area for the Bicycle Corral
parking should be designated with markings
and delineators such as bollards, planters,
short metal fencing, or parking bumpers.
6. Bicycle Corrals can be installed in conjunction
with a curb extension to provide an enhanced
buffer from adjacent street traffic.
7. Bicycle Corrals must be cleaned by hand as
a street sweeper will not be able to access
the area.
8. A practical application of Bike Corrals is their
installation in conjunction with outdoor
dining decks/parklets. The Bike Corral
substantially expands the parking capability
for the restaurant using minimal space.

14.4 Water Bottle Filling Stations
Access to free drinking water is an essential component of any bicycle network. Standard drinking
fountains found in public places often lack the flow to quickly fill a typical water bottle or hydration
pack bladder.
Agencies are augmenting their parks and other public places by adding water bottle filling stations
to work with all types of water bottles and hydration bladders.
These stations provide great community benefit by not only adding improved access to drinking
water but also help eliminate plastic bottle waste.
1. Water bottle filling stations should be added
to trailheads, parks, and other public places
along the route.
2. The stations can be stand alone for bottle
specific or be combined with regular
drinking fountains as a community amenity.
3. Area around the filling station should
be concrete and meet standard ADA
requirements.

1. Wayfinding signing may include
mile-markers, route identification, key
destinations, and informational kiosks.
Destinations should be limited to three per
pole.
2. Signs should be placed conspicuously along
each route providing confirmation to the
cyclist that they remain on route.
3. The signage should include turn signs
indicating where a bike route turns from one
street to another. Sign text should be large
enough to be read by passing cyclists, usually
with a minimum text height of 2-inch, FHWA
2000 C Series font.
4. The CAMUTCD defines standards for these
route network signs.
5. Signs are placed at decision points along
bicycle routes typically at key locations
leading to and along bicycle routes and at
the intersection of two or more bikeways.
6. Typical sign placement is approximately
every 1/2 mile on off-street facilities and
every 500-FT to 1,000-FT along on-street
bicycle facilities.
7. Pavement markings can supplement the
signing to confirm a bicyclist is on a route.
14.5 Wayfinding Signs
Wayfinding signage is an important part of the bicycle network. Implementing a well-planned and
attractive system of signage can greatly enhance bikeway facilities.
The opportunity for people on bikes to navigate to key destinations is typically by street names,
monuments, and other cues.
Wayfinding signs along key routes typically indicate direction of travel and the distance/travel time
to destinations. The use of wayfinding signing helps people on bikes to become familiar with the
bicycle network, make decisions on travel time, and decrease anxiety about remaining on course.
Signage can also assist users to navigate toward major bikeways, transit hubs, or other recreational
trails. Wayfinding signing can help bicyclists avoid difficult and undesirable road scenarios, like
steep terrain, busy intersections, and major highway crossings.

14.6 Stairway Bicycle Ramps
A bicycle stairway channel, also known as a “runnel,”
can often been seen at transit stations and other
public stairways adjacent to bicycle infrastructure.
The ramps are straight and usually adjacent to
a stairway on both sides so people can go up and
down without having to lift and carry their bikes.
These bicycle ramps are particular helpful for
E-Bikes which are heavier than traditional bicycles.
Independent metal ramps can be installed to provide
for additional separation of handlebars and stairway
handrails. Although bicycle ramps enhance access,
they should not be considered part of a major bike
route.
14.7 Bicycle Repair Stations
Bicycle Repair Stations provide an opportunity for
riders to make minor adjustments to their bicycle
including changing a tire, adjusting brakes and
derailleurs, and other repairs. The stations feature an
air pump, tools, and a mount so riders can securely
hang a bike.
The stations are typically installed in secure parking
areas, at trailheads, and other locations of high
bicycling activity. Stations should be located with
enough area to hang and work on the bike and not
impede surrounding pedestrian traffic. The location
should be highly visible and include adequate
lighting to reduce vandalism and allow repairs to be
made during night time conditions.

15.1 Bicycle Friendly Communities
Bicycle Friendly Communities improve public
health and air quality, reduce traffic congestion,
and improve the quality of life for their
residents. The League of American Bicyclists
ranks Bicycle Friendly Communities through a
self-application process that occurs two times a
year. Agencies can use these rankings to judge
how they compare in terms of infrastructure
and applied best practices.
The rankings consider the 5 “E”‘s (Engineering,
Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and
Evaluation/Planning).
Most notable qualities of Bicycle Friendly
Communities from an engineering
perspective are:
1. Using standards that meet or exceed
national guidance.
2. Creating a safe, well-maintained, and
connected network.
3. Developing bicycle facilities, including
intersections, that best fit the
context of the roadway corridor and
surrounding community.

Crossley Road - Road Diet
City of Palm Springs
Crossley Road is a designated Secondary
Highway per the City’s General Plan Circulation
Element. Typical right of way is 88-FT with a
curb-to-curb width of 64-FT. In 2016, as part
of the Palm Springs Bicycle Route Plan, the
City identified the roadway segment from
Ramon Road to 34th Avenue for a potential
“Road Diet.” The modification provides for
one through travel lane in each direction, a
two-way left turn lane, parking on both sides,
and Buffered Class II Bike Lanes.
Road Diets are usually successful on roads
carrying fewer than 15,000 vehicles per day.
Road Diets can be implemented successfully
on roadways that carry higher volumes.
However, further peak hour analysis and
impacts to existing intersection traffic control
should be reviewed. Existing volumes on
Crossley Road are approximately 8,400 ADT
and 2035 projected volumes are less than

Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency-owned properties that was
approved by the City Council at its meeting on March 24, 2022. This inventory was developed
to comply with the Surplus Land Act (SLA), which requires that an inventory be approved and
submitted annually to the State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) pursuant to Government Code Section 54230(a)(2).
To dispose of properties in the Central Inventory, the City is required to follow the SLA and its
April 2021 SLA Guidelines (Guidelines). The Guidelines require that a local agency sell property
through a Notice of Availability followed by a negotiation process that favors affordable housing.
However, the SLA and Section 103 of the Guidelines allow for exceptions to this standard SLA
process. Specifically, SLA Section 54221(f)(1)(C) and Section 103(3)(c) of the Guidelines, allow
for a property to be declared “Exempt Surplus” land if the local agency is exchanging for another
property necessary for the local agency’s use. In this property exchange, the City-acquired
parcel would be used for open space and therefore the exchange is in alignment with the
“Exempt Surplus” status designation.
Once approved by the City Council, the Resolution must be provided to HCD for review and
approval at least 30 days prior to disposition of the City-owned parcel. HCD will have thirty (30)
days from receipt of the Resolution to determine whether the proposed exchange of the City-
owned parcel is exempt from further requirements of the SLA.

Project Description:
With this report, staff is seeking approval to initiate the property exchange pursuant to the SLA.
If the exchange is approved, the acquired parcel will be used for open space.
As set forth above, staff is seeking the City Council’s declaration of the City-owned parcel as
“Exempt Surplus Land” for the exchange of another property necessary for City use. The City-
owned parcel will be exchanged at Fair Market Value (FMV) with payment by Monterey Crossing
to the City in an amount equal to the difference in the FMV of the parcels, which were appraised
on March 4, 2022. The City property was valued at $128,000 and the Monterey Crossing
property was valued at $95,000. A map of the properties are attached to this staff report.

Environmental Review:
This property has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental
Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff has determined
that the designation of this property as “Exempt Surplus” does not have the potential to create a
significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined
by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Once approved, the property exchange will require professional real estate transaction services
including a title review and escrow. Funds are available in Account No. 1104430-4309102.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Amy Lawrence, Special Programs Manager
Trisha Stull, Management Analyst
REQUEST: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL
INITIATIVES PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution approving an Environmental Initiatives Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In February 2022, during the City Council’s Goal Setting Study Session, Environmental Initiatives
was highlighted as one of eight priorities for 2022. Upon direction, the Special Programs Division
was tasked with developing a new plan and strategy to replace the outdated Environmental
Sustainability Plan and GHG Inventory that was adopted by the City Council in February 2010
and updated as part of the “Green for Life Program” in September 2015.
The proposed Environmental Initiatives Plan for consideration was developed by inventorying
current internal sustainability related projects, as well as researching other cities’ plans and
projects. As part of the plan, staff has developed a project tracker and will work with various
departments to ensure that project progress is updated regularly, and that the plan does not
become stagnant. Staff sees this tracker as a living document with City-wide sustainability
related projects added to the plan regularly. Additionally, staff will monitor utility usage and costs
and greenhouse gas (GHG) metrics and report to City Council on a quarterly and annual basis.
Staff will also provide updates on the plan through the City’s Engage Palm Desert website and
other outlets as appropriate.
As for the implementation timeline, upon adoption of the plan, staff will immediately begin
implementation and monitoring. Within 12-18 months, staff will seek a consultant to conduct a
best practices review to ensure that all key projects and metrics are being hit and to see if any
additional items should be considered for inclusion in the plan. It is estimated that it will take
approximately three (3) years to fully implement the current and potential projects outlined in the
plan as presented. After three years, staff will evaluate the plan’s standing and determine the
next steps which may be to continue developing the plan in-house or to hire a consultant to
develop a new plan on the City’s behalf.
Committee Recommendation:
On June 20, 2022, staff presented the Environmental Initiatives Plan to the Resource
Preservation and Enhancement Committee for feedback. The committee was supportive of the
plan.

require funding allocation and such projects will be presented to City Council for consideration
prior to implementation.

Environmental Initiatives Plan
August 25, 2022
Item 2G-5
Background
In February 2022, the City of Palm Desert held a Goal Setting Study Session. During this study session, City Council highlighted several priorities for
2022 including Environmental Initiatives. The Special Programs Division was tasked with developing an approach for the City to implement
environmental initiatives. To create this plan, staff inventoried current internal sustainability related projects and researched other cities plans and
projects.
Implementation Timeline
Upon adoption of the plan, staff will immediately begin its implementation and monitoring. Withing 12-18 months, staff will seek a consultant to
conduct a best practices review to ensure that all key projects and metrics are being hit and to see if any additional items should be considered for
inclusion in the plan. It is estimated that it will take approximately three (3) years to fully implement the current and potential projects outlined in
this plan. After three years, staff will evaluate the plan’s standing and determine the next steps which may be to continue developing the plan in-
house or to hire a consultant to develop a plan on the City’s behalf.
Plan Budget
Most of the current projects have already been budgeted for or having funding from the relevant department or grant funds. The proposed
projects will need to have funding allocated for them if there is not already a funding source available.
Measuring Success
Staff will collect data on utility metrics including electricity, gas, water, and fuel for transportation to track overall City utility usage and costs.
Where possible, staff will also collect data on individual project performance and/or estimated GHG emissions reductions. Plan success should lead
to decreased utility usage, utility costs, and GHG emissions.
Reporting
Staff will provide projects updates in the Quarterly Reports to City Council and an annual update on the plan’s progress and metrics in the Annual
Report to City Council. Staff will also provide updates to Palm Desert residents through the City website or Engage Palm Desert website as well as
other outlets as appropriate.

To monitor progress towards reducing GHG emissions, an updated GHG
inventory should be completed every 5-10 years. The City completed a GHG
inventory in 2008 and CVAG completed an updated inventory in 2013. This is a
specialized task that would require a consultant. The 2008 inventory cost
approximately $50,000 and costs of goods and services have increased.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: David Reyes, Street Maintenance Supervisor
Bertha A Gonzalez, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF ONE ELECTRIC MINI STREET
SWEEPER AND ONE FORKLIFT FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
$329,854.24
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the purchase of an electric mini street sweeper from Haaker/Total Clean in the
amount of $239,584.
2. Authorize the purchase of a forklift from Sonsray Machinery in the amount of $90,270.24.
3. Authorize the finance department to appropriate $130,000 from unobligated equipment
replacement fund to Equipment Replacement Account No. 5304310-4403000.
4. Authorize the City Manager to approve documents related to the purchase of the fleet and
equipment.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
During the FY 2022/23 budget preparation, staff included the purchase of an electric mini street
sweeper. The electric street sweeper will be used to sweep small areas like the newly
constructed CV Link and City-owned parking lots. Staff is also requesting approval to purchase
a new forklift that will be used during special events and activities that require movement of large
products. The City’s current forklift is more than 30 years old, requires continuous repairs and,
due to its age, parts are becoming obsolete. Staff previously contacted Enterprise Fleet
Management, the City’s vehicle lease provider, regarding the lease of large, specialty vehicles.
Enterprise responded that due to the complexity of these types of heavy equipment, none of its
service writers were able to provide lease quotes for this type of equipment.
Therefore, staff obtained a quote from Haaker/Total Clean Company for a New Madvac LS125
Electric Litter Vacuum Sweeper for the amount of $239,584 that includes a 2% discount. It also
obtained a quote from Sonsray Machinery for a New 588H 2WD T4 15’ Forklift in the amount of
$90,270.24 that includes a trade-in discount of $10,500. Both companies are members of the
Sourcewell Program.
Sourcewell is a state program that allows public agencies to acquire a wide variety of
commodities and services at prices that have been assessed to be fair, reasonable and
competitive. Therefore, in accordance with Palm Desert Municipal Code 3.30.260, the bidding
process is not required.
Item 2H-1
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approved Capital Improvement List (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2022/23 includes $200,000 for the
purchase of the electric sweeper Account No. 5304310-4403000; therefore, staff requests an
appropriation of $130,000 for the purchase of the forklift and additional cost of the electric
sweeper. Staff expects to help offset the purchase with the auction of nine (9) fleet trucks and
two (2) City-owned carpool vehicles at auction. The request to surplus these vehicles is under
a separate staff report.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2022
PREPARED BY: Richard Cannone, AICP, Deputy Director of Development Services
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF OPTIONS AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION ON
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ABSENTEE LANDLORD PROPERTY
REGISTRATION PROGRAM.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff seeks City Council direction on one of the following options regarding an Absentee Property
Owner Registration Program:
1.Create a mandatory [or voluntary] Absentee Landlord Program for single-family and duplex
properties in non-gated communities based on the examples summarized in Table 1.
2. Create a mandatory [or voluntary] Absentee Landlord and Unoccupied Residence Responsible
Persons Voluntary Registration Program for single-family and duplex properties in non-gated
communities based on the examples in Table 1 and Table 2.
3.Not create any mandatory or voluntary registration program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the April 14, 2022, City Council meeting (with further clarification at the July 14, 2022, City Council
meeting), Councilmember Kelly requested staff research how other cities handle when a single-
family property is owned and rented by absentee owners and the possibility of requiring those
absentee owners to provide a contact number to the neighboring properties in case an issue
develops (i.e., damaged wall, overgrown landscaping, water leak, etc.). Staff discussed this item with
the city attorney’s office, and the City can encourage absentee property owners to share their contact
information with trusted neighbors; however, requiring property owners, without their consent, to
share this personal information could open the City up to informational privacy claims under the
California Constitution and would be extremely difficult to enforce.
Staff researched several resort cities in the United States (Vail and Aspen, CO; Sedona, AZ; Marco
Island, FL; Park City, UT; and Palm Springs, Napa, and St. Helena, CA) to see if they had
implemented an absentee landlord registration program to no avail. Additionally, we also researched
several cities in California and throughout the United States for absentee owners or similar property
registration programs. For purposes of this report, we have summarized two types of residential
registration programs:
1.Absentee Landlord Registrations
2. Unoccupied/Vacant Property Registrations
Absentee Landlord Regulations
Many cities in California and throughout the United States have an absentee landlord registration
program or rental registration program; however, they were a component of an annual rental
inspection program that was established to deal with an older substandard housing stock or were a
component of a rent control program. However, staff was able to identify two cities, Pawtucket, RI
Item 2I-1

(see Attachment 1) and San Antonio, TX (see Attachment 2), that have “stand-alone” absentee

Unoccupied/Vacant Property Registrations
Most of the other cities in California and the United States staff researched had registration programs
for unoccupied/vacant residential properties that were implemented in 2008/2009 to deal with
abandoned and distressed properties due to the high number of vacant foreclosed properties
resulting from the subprime mortgage crisis.
In 2009, the City of Palm Desert adopted a similar ordinance (Ord. 1185) for the maintenance of
abandoned properties. While a city registration of the abandoned property was not required, a
posting of the property by the owner with the name of the management company, person to contact,
and telephone number were required at the property. The City’s COPS program also provides a
property check service for single-family property owners who will be on vacation and away from their
homes for a minimum of two (2) weeks. Properties that are unoccupied because of seasonal
residency are ineligible for the program.
Staff identified three (3) communities in southern California that had an unoccupied/vacant property
registration program, similar to an absentee owner registration program that was adopted or updated
after the subprime mortgage crises and within the past five (5) years. Those cities include the City
of Palm Springs (see Attachment 3), the City of San Marino (see Attachment 4), and the City of
Arcadia (see Attachment 5), which are summarized in Table 1 below. The program in Palm Springs
was a modification of their initial ordinance dealing with long-term boarding up of vacant properties.

Discussion:
Currently, when a complaint is submitted for a violation at a vacant property or a residential rental
property owned by an absentee landlord, staff will look at existing property records from Riverside
County, recent or past building permits, or will reach out to one of the utility providers to obtain a
telephone number. If a telephone number cannot be acquired, staff will send a notice via United
States mail to the owner’s address from the county’s property records notifying them of the issue.
To date, staff has not had an issue finding or contacting an absentee owner when a code violation
occurs. Staff has obtained abatement warrants to clean up properties when an absentee owner does
not respond.
The two (2) absentee landlord registration programs in Table 1 are absorbed as part of Development
Services/Code Compliance routine duties and assignments. The two unoccupied property
registration programs in Table 2 that Development Services/Code Compliance (San Marino
excluded) manages have dedicated staff or will be hiring dedicated staff to oversee those programs
as the turnover/vacancy can change often, especially with a weekly inspection of those properties.
If the Council’s directive is to have a voluntary registration program for absentee landlords/owners,
including mandatory registration for repeat offends; two (2) separate violations in a six-month (6)
time frame, it can be absorbed with current staffing. In fact, having voluntary registration could assist
staff (if registered) in having to conduct research on the property and mailing notices.
Additionally, the California civil code does provide property owners with potential remedies for issues
related to fences or walls. In 2014, the legislature amended the California Civil Code section 841,
commonly known as the “Good Neighbor Fence Act,” to provide much more guidance regarding
landowners’ responsibilities in constructing and maintaining common fences. While this is strictly a
civil matter, a notification of the act could be provided to property owners by staff when issues arise.
