TITLE: Award of Contract for the Capital Improvement Project (CIP
2024-1)
PRESENTED BY: Kamran Dadbeh, Interim City Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve a change order to the contract with
Goodman & Associates for additional work for 2023-24
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project 2024-1 in the
amount of $20,000.
2. Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Change
Order subject to City Attorney Approval as to Form.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" by investing in critical
improvements to infrastructure
BACKGROUND:
On June 27, 2023, the City Council approved a comprehensive 5-Year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) spanning Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2027-28. Concurrently,
a contract was awarded to Goodman & Associates for the design phase of the 2023-24
CIP project.
DISCUSSION:
In the past two years, our city has realized significant cost savings, totaling
approximately $400,000, from various CIP resurfacing projects. Staff has explored the
possibility of incorporating additional streets into the ongoing 2023-24 CIP project,
which is currently in the design phase. The streets under consideration for inclusion are
as follows:
Main Street: Extending from 500 feet west of Michigan to the eastern endpoint.
Barton Road: Stretching from Mt. Vernon to Palm.
Attached to this report is a proposal from Goodman & Associates detailing the
integration of these additional streets into the existing project.
C.4
Packet Pg. 13
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Goodman & Associates for the
incorporation of the additional work related to CIP 2024-1.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1, contingent upon
approval from the City Attorney as to its form.
The proposed cost for Amendment No. 1 is $20,000, which reflects a judicious
allocation of resources in light of the potential savings and benefits associated with this
amendment.
CEQA FINDING:
Paving projects are categorically exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
5 Year CIP will be funded by a combination of Measure I, SB 1, APRA and Gas tax

THROUGH JULY 1, 2027 NOT TO EXCEED MORE THAN
TEN PERCENT OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR’S RATES.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #1 “Ensure Our Fiscal Viability” by ensuring appropriate
cost recovery for services.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace has a franchise agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries
(“Burrtec”) for the provision of Solid Waste Collection Services (includes: solid
waste, recycling, disposal service & waste collection). Burrtec charges rates to
recover costs associated with providing those services to customers. Refuse bills
compensate Burrtec for the costs of providing refuse services, including all labor,
equipment, material, supplies, program compliance, supervision, cost increases
(including passthrough cost), and all other items necessary to perform the work and
provide the services described in the Franchise Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
RESIDENTIAL
For Residential Service, during FY 2023-24 the proposed rate adjustments include a
E.6
Packet Pg. 28
CPI increase for service costs as well as pass through cost increases in the refuse
disposal, organic waste processing and recyclables processing components of the
rate. Other rate component adjustments include:
• A maximum of $0.03 increase in Pavement Impact Fees per service address
• A maximum of $0.12 increase in Franchise Fees per service address
The proposed rate adjustment for the Standard 96-gallon barrel service is $0.80 per
month. The proposed rate adjustment for the 64-gallon barrel service is $0.93 per
month. Please see the attached rate table for all proposed rates.
COMMERCIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
For businesses and apartment complexes, the rate adjustments depend on the
selections made by the customer regarding container size and how often waste is
collected. The proposed rate adjustments include a CPI increase for service costs
as well as passthrough cost increases in the refuse disposal, green waste
processing, food waste processing, and recyclables processing components of the
various service rates. Other adjustments include increases in Pavement Impact
Fees (3.5%) and Franchise Fees (15%).
Please see the attached rate table for all proposed rates.
The public hearing will also include consideration of adopting a resolution that will
authorize estimated rate increases for solid waste collection services for a five-year
(5-year) period commencing October 1, 2023, and each July 1st thereafter, through
and including July 1, 2027. For the years 2023-2027, beginning October 1, 2023,
the annual maximum rates shall not exceed more than ten percent of the previous
year’s rates.
The then-current maximum permitted service rates will be adjusted by 90% of the
February year over year change in the Consumer Price Index, Los Angeles -
Anaheim Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Urban Consumers as published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City by the rate adjustment as it is expected the cost of
services will be offset by Burrtec customers.

August 11, 2023
Dear Resident/Property Owner:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Grand Terrace City Council will conduct a Public Hearing on the 26th day
of September 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand
Terrace, California 92313, to consider a rate increase to residential and commercial refuse collection and
disposal fees charged to property owners and/or commercial customers for solid waste disposal service
within the City in compliance with Proposition 218. At the public hearing, the City Council will consider all
public comments in support of and in opposition to the proposed rate increases and whether a majority
protest exists pursuant to the California Constitution.
The public hearing will include consideration of adopting a resolution that will authorize estimated rate
increases for solid waste collection services for a five-year (5-year) period commencing October 1, 2023, and
each July 1st thereafter, through and including July 1, 2027. For the years 2023-2027, beginning October 1,
2023, the annual maximum rates shall not exceed more than ten percent of the previous year’s rates.
The then-current maximum permitted service rates will be adjusted by 90% of the February year over year
change in the Consumer Price Index, Los Angeles-Anaheim Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Urban Consumers as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
After July 1, 2027, any further increases would be subject to approval by the City Council, a public hearing,
and protest procedures open to interested persons. The rate adjustment methodology provides for an
adjustment to the rate adjustment index for each respective cost component for the twelve-month (12-
month) period ending June prior to the rate year anniversary date for changes in the consumer price index,
in addition to fees of the franchisee.
REASON FOR PROPOSED SOLID WASTE INCREASE AND BASIS UPON WHICH
THE PROPOSED RATE INCREASE IS CALCULATED
The City of Grand Terrace has a franchise agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries (“Burrtec”) for the
provision of Solid Waste Collection Services (includes: solid waste, recycling, disposal service & waste
collection). Burrtec charges rates to recover costs associated with providing those services to customers.
Refuse bills compensate Burrtec for the costs of providing refuse services, including all labor, equipment,
material, supplies, program compliance, supervision, cost increases (including passthrough cost), and all
other items necessary to perform the work and provide the services described in the Franchise Agreement.
RESIDENTIAL: For Residential Service, the proposed rate adjustments include a CPI increase for service costs as well
as pass through cost increases in the refuse disposal, organic waste processing and recyclables processing
components of the rate. Other rate component adjustments include:
• A maximum of $0.03 increase in Pavement Impact Fees per service address
• A maximum of $0.12 increase in Franchise Fees per service address
