D. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-50, Approval of the City of Rosemead Local Road Safety
Plan
The Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a road safety planning document that
provides a holistic analysis of vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle crash data, and
provides a roadmap for implementation of safety improvements. Beginning in 2022,
Caltrans requires that all state, county, and local agencies complete an LRSP to be
eligible to receive Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds.
Furthermore, Caltrans recommends cities have their LRSP approved by City Council
through an adopted resolution. The HSIP grant funds are used for planning
documents, preliminary engineering documents, and construction improvements to
mitigate safety-related issues at intersections and roadways. In August 2022, staff
completed the preparation of the LRSP in conformance with Federal and State
standards. The preparation of the LRSP was funded with State Funds in the amount
of $48,000, which also required a local match of $5,334, for a combined budget of
$53,334. Staff is requesting the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-50, approving the
LRSP for the City of Rosemead to improve eligibility for Federal and State grant
opportunities.
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-50, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, TO APPROVE THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN (LRSP)
E. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-51, Approving the Application for Caltrans Local
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11 Grant Funding
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is one of the core federal -aid
programs. The purpose of the HSIP program is to achieve a significant reduction in
traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non -State-owned
public roads. To apply for the HSIP funds, an agency must have a completed
Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) or an equivalent of the LRSP. The City of
Rosemead has completed its LRSP and has identified a potential project for HSIP
grant funding consideration. The proposed project includes safety improvements to
signalized intersections including traffic signal retroreflective backplates, high
visibility crosswalks, and pedestrian countdown signal heads. The estimated cost of
the project is approximately $3,384,400 and there is a required 10% local match of
$338,440.

F. Award of a Professional Services Agreement for Solid Waste Consultant Services
The City of Rosemead is in its final year of afranchise agreement for solid waste and
recycling collection services with Consolidated Disposal Services (CDS), the
agreement is set to expire on July 31, 2023. At the July 13, 2021, City Council
meeting, Council Member Ly requested to discuss the City's current franchise waste
hauler agreement and inquired about the timeline and process to procure a new
agreement. Based on City Council discussion, it was determined that due to the highly
regulated and specialization of the solid waste collection industry, the use of a solid
waste consultant would be beneficial for the City to assist in procuring a new waste
hauler agreement. Furthermore, Council Member Ly requested staff to agendize an
item at a future City Council meeting to further consider the use of a solid waste
consultant.
On August 8, 2022, staff released an RFP for solid waste consulting services to
provide assistance with the procurement of a new solid waste franchise agreement
and associated consulting services and received one (1) proposal from R3 Consulting
Group Inc. (R3). After review, staff determined that R3 submitted a qualified
proposal to provide solid waste consulting services in the amount of $139,745.
Fees related to the solid waste consulting services are proposed to be recovered within
the negotiations of the new franchise agreement.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee
to execute a professional services agreement with R3 Consulting Group, Inc.,
for full-service procurement and solid waste consulting services in the amount
of $139,745.
G. Memorandum of Understanding with the El Monte Union High School District for
School Year 2022-2023 School Resource Deputy Funding
The El Monte Union High School District ("District") contracts with the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department for a School Resource Deputy ("SRD") that is assigned
to Rosemead High School. Through an annual Agreement, the City of Rosemead
("City") has shared the cost of the SRD with the District on an equal allocation.
The proposed Agreement between the City and the District is for the SRD Program
for the 2022-2023 school calendar year.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager
to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with El Monte Union High School
District for School Year 2022-2023 School Resource Deputy funding.

further discussion. Staff has performed a preliminary evaluation of FiberCity and the
services provided by the City's current ISPs. The results of the evaluation include a
