Atascadero City Council
Staff Report –Fire Department
Award Contract for One (1) New Fire Engine
& Refurbishment of Engines 7591 & 7592
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Award a contract to Pierce Manufacturing Inc. for the construction and purchase
of one (1) fire engine at a cost of $566,972; and,
2. Award a contract to Pierce Manufacturing Inc. to refurbish E-7591 & E-7592 at a
cost of up to $305,229; and,
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate agreements; and,
4. Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to appropriate $179,770 in
Vehicle Replacement Funds, $123,000 in Fire Facilities Impact Fee Funds &
$659,440 from the Bertha Schultz Trust Funds for these purchases.
DISCUSSION:
On September 23, 2014 the City Council reviewed the allocation of funds received from
the Bertha Schultz Trust Fund. The recommendation included the replacement of a
wildland engine E-7573 with a Type I engine. The recommendation also included the
refurbishment of E-7591 (a Type I engine) and E-7592 (also a Type I engine).
Under Section III Proprietary Equipment and Goods of the Purchasing Policy, there is
no bidding required for the awards of these types of contracts as there are qualitative
differences between the products being sold. Proprietary vendors are those vendors
that “that directly sell their products and do not use distributors or other outlets.” In
other words, the City can purchase the same Ford F-150 pickup truck at any number of
Ford dealers so it is not a proprietary purchase and is subject to bidding. Fire engines
can typically only be purchased directly from the manufacturer and thus are proprietary
and subject to the qualitative award process.
ITEM NUMBER: A-2
DATE: 10/28/14
In accordance with Section III of the Purchasing Policy, a vehicle committee of three
members, including the Fire Chief was formed. The vehicle committee has worked for
the past 8 months investigating a possible purchase of a new engine to replace the
Type III wildland engine E-7573 and the potential refurbishment of E-7591 & E-7592.
Purchase of Engine to Replace E-7573
The committee determined that the replacement of E -7573, with a Type I or structure
fire type engine will best serve the City of Atascadero. A Type I engine is much more
useful and is more flexible, giving the fire department a better tool to meet its primary
mission of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Structure Fire response. This type
of engine is “rated” or counted by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) whereas the Type
III is not. Additionally, the Type I engine has greater capacities for pumped water flow
per minute, equipment storage areas, and extra space for breathing apparatuses. (The
department will continue to maintain two Type III wildland engines after this
replacement.)
Pierce Manufacturing was selected for the following reasons:
The engine will match our two existing Pierce Arrow XT fire engines which have
been in service for 10 years and have served the community of Atascadero well.
The purchase of an identical engine will reduce costs for parts as the engines will
use identical valves, filters, belts, etc.
The cost of Pierce for the value received is very competitive when compared to
other manufacturer’s prices.
Refurbishment of E-7591 & E-7592
The committee determined that the refurbishment of E-7591 and E-7592 would cost
effectively extend the service life of these two engines. The fire service industry has
begun to embrace the concept of fire apparatus refurbishment. Historically, the industr y
has not refurbished fire apparatus because Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) standards
continued to change, making fire apparatus obsolete 10-15 years after its manufacture
date. Engines 7591 & 7592 are well built and sit on the best chassis in the industry.
Staff purposely specified these engines to be built with longevity as a primary goal.
These two engines are ideal for refurbishment and will serve the community 8 years
longer than previously planned.
While the vehicle committee solicited quotes from other vendors for the refurbishment of
the two vehicles, Pierce Manufacturing was chosen by the vehicle committee for the
following reasons:
Pierce Manufacturing had superior expertise when it came to refurbishing Pierce
engines.
Pierce Manufacturing has a long history of quality workmanship .
Pierce Manufacturing sent (at no cost to the City) an engineer from their
refurbishment division to review the existing condition of E-7591 & E-7592 in
ITEM NUMBER: A-2
DATE: 10/28/14
order to make recommendations and prepare their quote for refurbishment,
providing excellent customer service.
The cost proposed by Pierce Manufacturing was competitive wit h quotes
received from other entities.
Quotes
While staff is recommending the award of the purchase of the new engine and the
award of the refurbishment of the existing engines, the work will not take place all at
once. Work on the engines will be performed sequentially to insure that adequate
equipment is always in place to meet the City’s needs. By executing purchase orders
for all of the work at once, Pierce has agreed to lock in the price at the amounts quoted.
The amounts that Pierce has quoted are good until October 29, 2014 and any
purchases made after the October 29, 2014 deadline would be more expensive.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact would be the expenditure of a total of $962,201. The funds expended
would be Bertha Shultz Trust Funds ($659,435), vehicle replacement funds ($179,766)
and Fire Facilities Impact Fees Funds ($123,400).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council may not award contract or award contract to alternate company through
the bid process.
2. Council may direct staff to continue to use current equipment, making repairs as
needed and fund as necessary.
3. Council may postpone purchase with the understanding that the City will lose
$26,000 due to a price increase which is set to take place October 30, 2014.
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 10/28/14
Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Proposition 1B Remaining Project Funding Reprioritization
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Approve the use of approximately $111,120 of Proposition 1B State bond funds
left over after the resurfacing of El Camino Real, for use on El Camino Real
pedestrian facility upgrades and on the Lakeview Drive overlay project; and,
2. Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to appro priate $45,000 of
Proposition 1B Funds for the El Camino Real Safety Upgrade Project; and
3. Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to appropriate an additional
$66,120 of Proposition 1B Funds for the Lake View Overlay Project.
DISCUSSION:
Council approved a $412,957 appropriation of Proposition 1B funding for local road
maintenance in 2012. Council’s 2012 approval directed the funds toward the 2012 El
Camino Real Slurry Seal Project. The project included resurfacing El Camino Real (from
Vons to El Bordo Road) and resurfacing the roads directly around City Hall. This project
was successfully completed in 2013, under budget, leaving remaining unspent
Proposition 1B funds available for reallocation.
Proposition 1B funds generally can be used for safety, traffic reduction, rehabilitation
and preservation of local streets and highways. The funds must be allocated by the City
Council in a public meeting and the funds must be allocated to the project prior to
expenditure of the project.
Although included in the 2012 ECR Slurry Seal Project, the 2012 Cou ncil staff report
and reports submitted for Proposition 1B did not list the work around City Hall. Because
only the work on ECR was called out, State representatives have recommended that we
do not use the Proposition 1B funds on the resurfacing road work done around City Hall
ITEM NUMBER: A-3
DATE: 10/28/14
(East Mall, Palma, West Mall & Lewis Ave.) The resurfacing work on the roads around
City Hall cost a little over $30,000. Capital Projects funds (originally transfers for road
repairs from the City’s General Fund) were used instead of Proposition 1B funds to pay
for this roadwork around City Hall.
This leaves a remaining balance of $111,120 of unallocated Proposition 1B funds. Staff
is recommending that the money be used on additional local road maintenance and
safety upgrade projects on El Camino Real. The City has until June 30, 2016, to spend
the remaining Proposition 1B funds. Staff is proposing to use an estimated $45,000 on
lighted midblock crosswalk safety upgrades on El Camino Real and any remaining
funds on the upcoming Lakeview Drive Overlay project.
There are three lighted crosswalks on El Camino Real from Highway 41 to Rosario
Avenue. These three lighted crosswalk systems are safety enhancements, since there
are no signals to stop traffic. The flashing crosswalk lights alert drivers to the presence
of pedestrians. The existing lighted crosswalk systems are first generation and are
reaching the end of their working life. In addition, the maintenance costs of the outdated
equipment are increasing every year. Therefore, staff is proposing to replace these
three systems with a more durable product. The proposed replacement lights are more
reliable and maintenance parts are readily available. It is becoming more difficult to
obtain repair parts for the older existing systems.
The Lakeview Drive Overlay project is designed and ready to be released for bid. The
project is on hold until spring, when warmer weather arrives, and the Lake Sediment
Removal project is completed. If Council approves staff’s recommendation, the
remaining Proposition 1B funds would be used toward this project.
Conclusion: Staff is recommending that of the remaining $111,120 Prop 1B funds be
used for performing the pedestrian lighted crosswalk upgrades on El Camino Real, and
for the Lakeview Drive Overlay project.
The lighted cross walk upgrades would consist of replacing the in-pavement lights and
controllers and the Lakeview Road project includes a curb to curb overlay along with re-
striping of lanes, bike lanes, pavement markings and lake pathway improvements. The
lighted crosswalk upgrades would have an approximate 8-year life expectancy. The
Lakeview Overlay will have a 20-30 year lifespan, typical to all overlay projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The impact of the Council action tonight would be the receipt and expenditure of
approximately $111,120 in Proposition 1B funds.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Extend Contract with Regional Government Services (RGS)
For the Services of Public Works Advisor
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to extend an existing agreement with Regional
Government Services Authority (RGS) to provide contract services for a Public Works
Advisor on a month to month basis until such time as a permanent appointment is made
by the City Manager to fill the open position of Director of Public Works/City Engineer.
DISCUSSION:
RGS is a management and administrative services provider that provides highly
qualified personnel, among other professional services, to public sector agencies. RGS
is an independent contractor that provides all salaries, benef its, insurance, liability
coverage and taxes of the employees; the people working for or at the direction of RGS
are employees or agents of RGS and are not employed by the City.
Upon the departure of Russ Thompson, the City’s former Director of Public W orks and
City Engineer, the City Manager executed an agreement with RGS to provide temporary
employment services for a Public Works Advisor. Since July 27th, RGS has been
providing the City with the services of Douglas Breeze to lead the Public Works
Department on an interim basis.
A recruitment process for the full-time position of Director of Public Works/City Engineer
was opened in July. Applications have been received and reviewed, and the first round
of interviews of seven well-qualified candidates for the position has now been
completed. A review of those interview scores and comments is currently underway. We
are optimistic that a finalist for the position will be appointed within a few weeks.
However, depending upon which candidate is finally selected, the actual on-boarding
process including a thorough background check and allowing the candidate to give
ITEM NUMBER: A-4
DATE: 10/28/14
adequate notice at their current place of employment, could take some time. We are
anticipating the agreement with RGS may need to be extended in order to
accommodate these factors.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to extend the
existing agreement with RGS, if necessary, until such time as a successful candidate
can assume the duties of the position.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the extension of the agreement for service for an additional two
months, which includes the daily rate of $750 per day for approximately 14 days per
month plus travel and housing costs, is estimated to be approximately $24,000 of
General Funds. The cost of the proposed contracted services is offset by the payroll
cost savings of the open position of Director of Public Works.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council could elect to not authorize the City Manager to extend the existing agreement.

Staff Report – Recreation Division
Colony Park Inclusive Playground Design
RECOMMENDATION:
The Parks & Recreation Commission recommends:
Council adopt draft Resolution A approving the inclusive playground design for Colony
Park, consistent with the Colony Park Master Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Background: Based on public comments received by the City Council in May of 2013,
the City Council directed Staff to explore options for a public / private partnership to
develop an inclusive special needs playground Inclusive special needs playgrounds
take into account the needs of children with varying capabilities, including those with
physical or sensory limitations.
Staff met several times with the resident group now known as “Parents For Joy” to
review options to develop a playground suitable for all children including those with
special needs. As a result of this collaboration, Colony Park was identified as the ideal
location for development of this type of recreational facility.
In January of 2014, the City Council approved amendments to the Colony Park Master
Plan that included the following:
1. Move Recreation Center and parking lot to as built locations.
2. Move playground (inclusive playground) and spray park to open areas east of
the Recreation Center.
3. Decrease the area designated for the “future swim complex”, but still provide
adequate area for an Olympic size swimming pool.
4. Show the basketball, bocce and petanque courts in the as built location
5. Indicate the amphitheater could be built along the Atascadero Creek.

Proposed Ramp Access Rubberized solid surface is provided
With the master plan amendments approved, City Staff worked with “Parents for Joy” on
conceptual designs for installation of an inclusive playground.
In July of 2014 City Staff presented the conceptual designs for the inclusive playground
to the Atascadero Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission unanimously
approved the design as presented.
Analysis: “Parents For Joy” initially identified three (3) playground manufacturers that
provided conceptual designs for the proposed playground. Based on conceptual design
schemes submitted, the proposal submitted by Gametime was selected based on the
following criteria:
Conceptual plans and sketches of the playground design u tilized input from
Parents For Joy and City staff;
Primary design feature of the playground utilized a tree structure similar to oak
trees, which are a native to the City;
The proposed structure is in character of the community.
Conceptual Playground Design
“Parents For Joy” worked with Gametime to select play features that will take special
needs into account, while at the same time allowing them to play alongside children
without disabilities The design of the structure provides the ability for outdoor play for
those children with physical or sensory disabilities.
The tree structure is designed with ramps capable of giving wheelchair bound children
the ability to enjoy the sensation of being elevated within the tree. The design features
of the playground include the following:
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 10/28/14
Rubberized solid surfacing that is poured in place (PIP) that makes the entire
playground accessible for those children with disabilities that require wheelchairs
and other devices;
Fully accessible tree structure with slides;
Rock-n-Raft boat like structure that seats up to six (6) and accommodates a
wheelchair that rocks gently back and forth to simulate a boat ride;
A merry-go-around that has space for up to 12 children with four (4) seats that
have attached seatbelts for additional safety;
Different types of slides, including a metal slide facing north to reduce sun
exposure and heat and allow for children with cochlear implants the ability to
utilize a slide;
12 swings including standard belt swings, infant/tot swings four (4) zero-g swings
and two adaptive swings with harness systems;
An arch swing for use with both adults and children;
An egg rock that can be used to rock back and forth that doubles as a safe space
for children when they are overstimulated;
Dragonfly teeter-totter that can accommodate up to three (3) children;
Additional periphery equipment such as logs, vine climbers, leaf spinners for
additional stimulation and activity play;
Shade structures located in strategic locations to allow for play during all times of
the day.
In addition, features for the playground that will cater to the sensory needs of children
with disabilities is included in the proposed playground structure and area. The majority
of these structures that cater to the sensory needs are provided by the manufacturer.
Gametime has agreed to work with other vendors for those structures they do not
provide.
Construction Time Frame and Funding
“Parents For Joy” are working with local area vendors and cont ractors to encourage
them to donate work and supplies to the project. Approval of the design concept will
allow “Parents For Joy” to finalize cost estimates for the playground and move forward
with their fundraising efforts. This will also allow the group to proceed with solicitation of
contractors for donations of labor and materials.
Summary:
The 2014 Colony Park Master Plan amendment relocated the proposed playground to
an open area next to the Community Center building. The proposed “all-inclusive”
playground would include play structures and activities for all children, including those
with disabilities. The playground is designed to provide access at all levels to give
children a healthy sense of play and to be among their peers as equals. The prop osed
playground would become a community asset and be a draw not just for residents
within the City, but for all parents around the County. With a recommendation of
approval, this would allow for “Parents of Joy” and City Staff to research available grant
funding and raise the funds needed for this project.

Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
2015 Special Olympics
World Games
RECOMMENDATION:
Council direct staff to have the City of Atascadero participate with other San Luis
Obispo County cities as a Special Olympics World Game Host Town and to proceed
with plans to organize the necessary activities.
DISCUSSION:
Los Angeles will host the Special Olympics World Games next summer. Over 7,000
athletes will participate from 177 countries.
Special Olympics has developed the Host Town Program to help athletes acclimate to
the area and climate before the games begin. They are in the process of recruiting
approximately 100 host towns to provide housing, meals, activities, transportation and
practice facilities the three days prior to the games.
Because the cities within San Luis Obispo County are small jurisdictions,
accommodating these requests could prove difficult for each city individually. Therefore,
several cities within the County are proposing to jointly serve as countywide Host
Towns. This will result in a much more feasible level of responsibility for each
jurisdiction.
The cities within San Luis Obispo County would be responsible for hosting
approximately 100 athletes. Cal Poly University has agreed to provide dor m rooms,
breakfasts and practice facilities. This will leave the participating Host Towns to provide
lunch and evening activities, as well as transportation to and from Cal Poly.
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 10/28/14
It is tentatively proposed that North County host the athletes for an afte rnoon and
evening event on July 21st, Morro Bay be responsible for a luncheon event on July 22 nd,
San Luis Obispo will organize a dinner and Farmers’ Market evening event on July 22 nd,
and South County be responsible for the activities of July 23 rd.
Staff recommends that the City of Atascadero participate in this joint countywide effort.
Tentative preliminary plans include hosting the athletes at the July 21, 2015 Tuesday
Evenings in the Park event with an Elks Bar-B-Q dinner along with a tour of the Charles
Paddock Zoo. It is recommended the City of Atascadero involve our local service clubs,
and the Chamber of Commerce in the planning and fundraising for this event.
It has been proposed that a countywide committee be established to include a city,
chamber of commerce, and community representative from each jurisdiction, along with
Special Olympics and Cal Poly representatives, in order to agree on the overall
schedule and to make arrangements for transportation. Each jurisdiction would then
form its own committee to plan each individual event.
The Host Town program offers an opportunity to support an excellent organization and
provides significant benefits to thousands of people with disabilities throughout the
world, and provides an opportunity for members of the community to get involved with
this worthwhile event. In addition, it will provide the City with recognition as a
participating Host Town.
The first step of this joint Host City effort is to schedule an official announcement. A
representative from the World Games would be here for the announcement and it has
been tentatively recommended the official announcement be held in San Luis Obispo
with all the Mayors in mid-November.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that costs would be offset through donations and other fundraising
efforts. There would, however, be staff time involved in assisting in organizing the event
and participating in the County Host Town committee.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council may decide to not participate in the Host Town program.
2. Council may provide other direction to staff.

HOST TOWN PROGRAM
JULY 21 – 24, 2015
What is the Host Town Program?
The Host Town Program is a very special 3-day program that takes place prior to the Opening Ceremony of the
Special Olympics World Games 2015. At their Host Towns, athletic delegations from around the world will be
welcomed and celebrated. Their Host Town’s schedule of events will include getting to know community
members, taking part in cultural activities unique to your area, and--of course--practicing and resting for the
games. The Special Olympics athletes will feel truly celebrated and Host Town members will make friends for life.
When are the Host Towns?
Delegations arrive on July 21 and delegations depart on July 24, 2015.
What communities can be Host Towns?
Host Towns can be the largest cities or the smallest towns in Southern
California—and, in some cases, they can also be civic groups and
clubs. Communities located from San Luis Obispo to San Diego are
eligible. Altogether, there will be approximately 100 Host Towns.
How many athletes would spend time at a Host Town?
Host Towns will have the opportunity to roll out the red carpet for approximately 100 athletes--typically one or two
delegations.
What does a Host Town have to do?
The Host Town will be responsible for 100% of the costs of hosting their delegations, which includes expenses
such as lodging and food. The World Games 2015 has experience advising Host Towns and can provide
suggestions for securing in-kind donations and holding fundraisers.
Why should my community become a Host Town?
You and your neighbors will be taking part in the largest humanitarian and athletic event Los Angeles has seen
since the 1984 Olympics. Over 7,000 athletes will show courage, determination and joy as they spend four days
in your community and then go on to compete in 25 different events during the World Games. Your community
will serve a very special role, welcoming Special Olympic athletes to SoCal and getting to know them. After these
three never-to-be-forgotten days, the athletes will be changed for the better…and so will you.

HOST TOWN PROGRAM
JULY 21 – 24, 2015
It’s easy to get started!
Use the resources of your community to set up your Host Town
Accommodations – You will need to identify approximately 50 double-occupancy rooms for the
athletes in or near your community.
Talk to local colleges and universities about a donation of dormitory space. Or, speak to hotel chains in
your area—many will want to be part of the Special Olympics experience either by donating space or
providing rooms at a discount. Make sure you have plenty of volunteers on hand to welcome the athletes,
show them to their rooms and assist with baggage.
Training Facilities – You should make sure that the athletes have a way to practice their skills prior to
the Games or just have an opportunity to work out.
Check with local schools to find out what facilities might be available, including a gym with training
facilities, a soccer-style field and a track.
Food – You will want to supply nutritious food and plenty of water. As with any athlete, it is important that
they be given healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Make arrangements with local restaurants, civic clubs, and colleges to provide meals for athletes. Involve
community members in a giant Pot Luck. Ask local markets for food donations.
Transportation – You should determine your transportation needs. The World Games 2015 will be
responsible for bringing the Special Olympics athletes to and from your community. You will need to
arrange transportation to bring them to local events during their visit.
Speak to local bus companies, car dealers or car rental agencies to see whether they can contribute their
services or provide a discounted rate.
Activities – You should plan some great activities to introduce the athletes to your community and
spread the word about the World Games. Arrange for 2 two-hour events to be held on July 22 and July 23,
and a possible activity on July 21 if the delegation arrives earlier in the day.
Be sure to highlight what is unique about your community, such as a historic site. Bring in local artists,
writers, and performers to create special events. Look for interesting places to hold cultural events.
Security – You will need to supply basic oversight of your events to make sure your three days go
smoothly.
Recruit local volunteers to be on site.
