3.19 Contract with Apex Fence Co. Inc., for the Cohasset Metal Beam Guard Rail (MBGR) Highway
Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Project - On June 14, 2022, the Board of Supervisors
authorized the Department of Public Works to advertise bids for the Cohasset MBGR HSIP Project.
The project will remove the existing, outdated MBGR and replace it with the current standard
Midwest Guardrail System (MGS), which has a taller height, improved end treatments, and
additional design features that enhance motorist safety. Approximately 2.7 miles of new MGS
will be installed along the outer edges of the westbound and southbound lanes along Cohasset
Road between Nicalog Road and Jack Rabbit Flat Road. The engineer's estimate for construction
is $900,000. That estimate included the total project costs, with construction costs estimated at
$743,173. The Department advertised the project on July 14, 2022, and received six bids on
August 2, 2022. The lowest responsive bidder was Apex Fence Co. Inc., of Anderson, with a bid
amount of $439,100. Department staff acknowledges the need to conservatively bid federally
funded projects to ensure adequate construction project funding is available. In addition, the
highly competitive nature of this project resulted in bids that were lower than the engineer's
estimate. The Department recommends that the Board award the contract to Apex Fence Co. Inc.
for $439,100 and authorize the Director of Public Works to sign the contract and order changes
or additions in the work being performed per Public Contract Code section 20142 — action

town limits, 415 feet north of Pentz Road to Coutolenc Road. The revised engineer's estimate for
construction at the time of project advertisement was $1,172,713, which was an increase from
the January engineer's estimate of $900,000 due in part to the current economic climate and the
volatile state of crude oil prices. The project was advertised on July 7, 2022, and a total of two
bids were received on July 28, 2022. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was Knife River
Construction of Chico with a bid of $603,740. The Department acknowledges the need to
conservatively bid federally funded projects to ensure adequate construction project funding is
available. In addition, due to an unpredictable market and numerous influencing factors, bids
were lower than engineer's estimate. The Department recommends the Board award the contract
to Knife River Construction and authorizes the Director of Public Works to sign the contract and
order changes or additions in the work being performed per Public Contract Code section 20142
— action requested - 1) AWARD THE CONTRACT TO KNIFE RIVER CONSTRUCTION; AND 2)

3.24 Budget Adjustment for Helicopter Maintenance and Repair - The Sheriff's Office utilizes four
aircraft in the performance of its day to day public safety operations and costs related to routine
maintenance of each aircraft are included in the recommended budget each year. At times,
unexpected repairs are needed on an aircraft that exceed the funds that were budgeted in a given
year. The Sheriff's Office established Air Operation Program funds, which primarily consists of
revenue received from outside agencies for use of the aircraft, in order to offset the cost of
unexpected major maintenance and repair items when needed that are held within the Sheriff's
Equipment Replacement Fund. During a recent routine maintenance check, it was determined
that an overhaul of major engine and drive shaft components is needed on one of the helicopters
that was not included in the budget this fiscal year. The department recommends allocating

maintenance and repair — action requested — APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED) (Sheriff)
3.25 Contract Amendment with Katherine Raven, MD for Forensic Pathology Services - The County
Coroner is required to perform autopsies and inquests into certain deaths under Government
Code sections 27460 et seq. There are circumstances during which the Coroner must work in
consultation with a board-certified forensic pathologist certified by the American Board of
Pathology. The Sheriff's Office currently contracts with two pathologists for forensic pathology
services. Estimates for Dr. Raven's contract amount were based on her providing services only
when the other pathologist was not available. Dr. Raven is now being used as the primary
pathologist and the maximum amount payable for her contract needs to be increased to
accommodate the additional services she will be providing for the balance of the term of the
contract. The Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with Katherine Raven, MD for
Forensic Pathology Services. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by

4.07 Criminal Justice Case Management System Contract -The Probation Department currently utilizes
a Case Management System and Juvenile Detention Management System to manage offenders
under the care of the Probation Department. The current contract for such services is set to

standardize these services from Tyler Technologies through May 11, 2032. Tyler Technologies will
host a Criminal Justice Case Management System and Juvenile Detention Management System
that has been written specifically for the needs of a Probation Department and a Juvenile
Detention Facility. The system is designed to interface and share data among other agencies and

Fig Street in the Western Pacific Addition of Oroville - The Department of Public Works has
received a petition to abandon portions of an unnecessary public service easement located
between Fig Street and Lakeland Boulevard, northeast of Oroville. The Department has evaluated
the request and determined that the easement is not needed for public purposes. The affected
parcels are located along Fig Street between Gold Avenue and Lakeland Boulevard, northeast of
Oroville. On November 14, 1905, the unimproved easement was created by a map (Book 4 of
Maps, pg. 16) as part of Block 15 of the Western Pacific Addition to Oroville. The applicant, Amadu
Kamara, is the property owner of two affected parcels (APNs: 033-027-002 and 033-027-003) and
intends to merge both parcels after the proposed road abandonment is approved. The owner of
the other affected parcel (APN: 033-027-004) is Russell Grimenstein. Under Streets and Highways
Code section 8321, a petition for vacation was signed by 11 freeholders and submitted on
November 6, 2020. Government Code Section 65402 requires that the proposed road
abandonment be presented to the Planning Commission to determine consistency with the
General Plan. On December 9, 2021, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution verifying that
it conformed with the County's General Plan. The Department recommends the Board adopt a
resolution setting the public hearing to consider the easement abandonment on September 13,
2022 — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public

4.09 Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) Wildfire Resiliency and Fuels Management
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) - On March 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors discussed the
potential use of recently acquired properties adjacent to the NRRWF for projects that can support
wildfire resiliency and fuels management. The Board directed the Department of Public Works to
prepare an RFQ soliciting proposals for projects that can utilize one or all of these properties to
support sustainable fuels management and wildfire resiliency efforts in Butte County. The RFQ
was released on May 5, 2022 and sought to explore the highest and best use of the properties to
process and/or utilize woody biomass fuels to improve wildfire resiliency and support fuels
reduction efforts in Butte County. Additional goals of the RFQ included the project's economic
benefit to Butte County, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, opportunities to develop
sustainable sources of renewable energy, direct and indirect job creation, and
compatibility/integration with NRRWF goals and objectives such as compliance with Senate Bill
1383. On June 21, 2021, the Department received one Statement of Qualification. The
Department invited the firm to participate in a selection interview that included panelists from
the Department of Public Works and County Administration. SWCA Environmental Consultants of
Half Moon Bay, provided the sole proposal, which proposed to provide the County with a
feasibility study to explore a potential biomass facility on the proposed project site at a cost of
approximately $175,000. The proposed feasibility study may not be aligned with the Board's goals
or the intent of the RFQ and the Department requests additional feedback and direction from the
Board — action requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Public Works)
4.10 Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Article XIII.5, Entitled "Children and Families
Commission," of Chapter 2, Entitled, "Administration" - In 1998, California Voters approved
Proposition 10, which applied a tax on tobacco products to fund improved outcomes for young
children. First 5 Butte County Children and Families Commission (Commission) uses these tax
dollars to fund local programs and services for young children to enhance their health and early
growth experiences. First 5 is part of a Statewide effort to create a seamless system of integrated
and comprehensive programs and services by establishing community-based programs to provide
parental education and family support services relevant to effective childhood development;
encouraging pregnant women and parents of young children to quit smoking; and educating the
public on the importance and the benefits of nurturing, health care, family support, and child
care. The Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance in 1998 after the passage of Proposition 10
establishing Article XIII.5 - Children and Families Commission within Chapter 2 of the Butte County
Code. The original ordinance was developed before the Commission had established a staff
structure, policies and procedures, a strategic plan, or a funding plan. The proposed ordinance
aligns the Butte County Code with the Proposition 10 statutes, establishes the Department of
Behavioral Health Director or designee as a permanent member, and streamlines strategic plan,
budget and annual reporting requirements. The First 5 Commission recommends the Board adopt
the proposed ordinance amending the Butte County Code for the Children and Families
Commission — action requested — WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE. (Other — First
