The work includes clearing and grubbing, traffic control, cape seal, striping, and signage, all in conformance with the Plans, Specifications, and Special Provisions. On October 28, 2025, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Public Works to advertise and solicit bids for projects included in the Public Works Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP). This project was advertised on June 18, 2026, and one bid was Page 4 received on July 9, 2026. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was VSS International, Inc. of Sacramento, with a bid of $231,211. The bid exceeded the engineer's estimate $140,000 and was determined to be reasonable based on current market conditions, rising cost of asphalt work, construction occurring late in the season, and tight completion deadline of December 2026. The project must be completed by December 2026 to meet CDBG-DR funding requirements. The Department recommends that the Board approve the project plans and specifications, award the contract to VSS International, Inc., and authorize the Director of Public Works or their designee to sign the contract and order changes or additions in work performed per Public Contract Code Section 20142. (DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS) Action Requested - 1) APPROVE THE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS; 2) AWARD THE CONTRACT TO VSS INTERNATIONAL, INC.; AND 3) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OR THEIR DESIGNEE TO SIGN THE CONTRACT AND ORDER CHANGES PER PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 20142. 3.9.b Resolution Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Execute a Quitclaim Deed to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the State Route 191/Durham-Pentz Road Roundabout Improvement Project Caltrans is advancing the State Route 191 (Clark Road) and Durham-Pentz Road Roundabout Improvement Project to improve traffic operations, enhance public safety, and reduce vehicle conflict points at the intersection. To construct the project, Caltrans requires acquisition of a portion of County-owned right- of-way adjacent to the intersection. Department of Public Works staff have reviewed the requested conveyance and determined that the County's interest in the affected right-of- way is no longer required for County transportation purposes. Conveying this interest will not adversely affect County road operations, maintenance responsibilities, or future transportation needs. Caltrans has requested that the County convey its interest in the property by Quitclaim Deed. The Department recommends approval of the attached Resolution, authorizing the Director of Public Works, or designee, to execute the Quitclaim Deed and any ancillary documents necessary to complete the conveyance on behalf of the County. Adoption of the Resolution will allow Caltrans to acquire the necessary right-of-way, consolidate ownership interests within the project limits, and proceed with construction of the State Route 191/Durham-Pentz Road Roundabout Improvement Project.

REGULAR AGENDA 4.1 Board Member/Committee Reports and Board Member Comment 4.2 Public Comment Comments to the Board on issues and items not listed on the agenda. Pursuant to Page 5 California State law, the Board of Supervisors is prohibited from taking action on any item not listed on the agenda. Please note that Public Comment is in two separate sections. One, at the beginning of the regular agenda, which will last a maximum of 15 minutes, with another to follow as the last item on the regular agenda with no time limits. 4.3 Resolution Adopting Butte County's Job Order Contracting (JOC) Policy and Adopting the General and Special Provisions for JOC Projects for Public Works On April 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved contracts with The Gordian Group, Inc. (Gordian) to provide JOC services for the Departments of General Services and Public Works, consistent with Public Contract Code section 20128.5. The Board authorized JOC services up to $250,000 for General Services and $500,000 for Public Works. JOC is a common alternative delivery method that uses pre-established, competitively bid unit prices to complete multiple construction and maintenance projects within the annual contract term. Compared to the transitional design-bid-build process, JOC streamlines project delivery, reduces administrative burden, and can significantly shorten the time between project identification and construction compared to the traditional design-bid-build procurement method. Gordian assists the County in soliciting competitively bid umbrella contracts and verifying that Job Order work is completed at the established contract price. Contractors competitively bid on the umbrella contract, with unit prices fixed for the contract term. Funding for each Job Order is included within the related project budget and payment to Gordian occurs only when work is completed. Job Order Contracting (JOC) Policy The proposed JOC Policy establishes the County's procedures for developing, reviewing, approving, and executing JOC contracts, Job Orders, and Supplementals. The policy defines approval authorities and ensures compliance with applicable laws and County requirements. Under the policy, staff may approve Job Orders and Supplementals within established thresholds, while those exceeding the delegated authority will be presented to the Board for approval, providing an appropriate balance of efficiency, transparency, and oversight. The Department of General Services and the Department of Public Works recommend that the Board adopt a resolution approving the JOC Policy and authorizing the administration of JOC contracts, Job Orders, and Supplementals in accordance with the approval thresholds established in the policy. Public Works JOC General and Special Provisions Since implementation of the JOC program in 2021, the Department of Public Works has successfully completed numerous minor repair and maintenance projects more efficiently than would have been possible through traditional procurement methods. Each JOC umbrella construction contract incorporates standard General and Special Provisions, including the Construction Task Catalog and Technical Specifications, which establish the scope of work, unit-price tasks, and technical requirements for future Job Orders. These documents are updated periodically to reflect current construction practices and County requirements and are available online: Page 6 Technical Specifications: https://www.buttecounty.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7751/Technical-Specifications--- Distribution Construction Task Catalog: https://www.buttecounty.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13349/Construction-Task-Catalog- --Distribution The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board approve the JOC Construction Task Catalog and Technical Specifications and authorize the Department to solicit construction bids and incorporate any final, non-substantive revisions into the bid documents. Following bid solicitation, all JOC Umbrella Construction Contracts will return to the Board for award. Individual Job Orders exceeding $500,000 will also return to the Board for approval in accordance with the new JOC Policy. (DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES/DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS) Action Requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; 2) ADOPT THE GENERAL AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS JOB ORDER CONTRACTING PROJECTS; 3) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO MAKE FINAL REVISIONS TO THE BID DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO ADVERTISEMENT, SUBJECT TO COUNTY COUNSEL APPROVAL FOR ANY CHANGES AFFECTING CONTRACTUAL TERMS OR CONDITIONS; AND 4) AUTHORIZE THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE FOR AND SOLICIT FORMAL BIDS FOR THE JOB ORDER CONTRACTING CONSTRUCTION CATALOG. 4.4 Palermo Master Drainage Plan On January 23, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with West Yost & Associates for the implementation of the District No. 6 Palermo Master Drainage Plan project. The project is funded through the Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Grant Program with the local match requirement provided by the Subdivision Drainage Fund. The Palermo area has a long history of localized flooding and has been the subject of various studies over the past several decades addressing flooding, drinking water supply, and water quality impacts. Previous efforts to develop comprehensive drainage and infrastructure solutions date back to the 1970s; however, implementation proved challenging due to funding constraints and community concerns regarding the cost of proposed improvements. Flooding continues to result in public safety and emergency response issues, damage to homes and property, overwhelmed storm drain infrastructure, roadway erosion, business disruptions, and declining property values. The development of the Palermo Master Drainage Plan involved an extensive program of data collection, field investigation, and technical modeling to assess hydrologic and hydraulic conditions within the Palermo community. These analyses were complemented by community outreach and coordination with other regional planning efforts. The Master Drainage Plan identifies seven alternative projects that could be implemented to reduce potential flooding during certain storm events. The Department of Water and Resource Conservation will present an overview of the Palermo Master Drainage Plan. (DEPARTMENT OF WATER & RESOURCE CONSERVATION) Action Requested - ACCEPT THE PALERMO MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN AS A Page 7 PLANNING DOCUMENT TO INFORM FUTURE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS. 4.5 Items Removed from the Consent Agenda for Board Consideration and Action 4.6 Update of Budget, Legislative, and other Current Issues by the Chief Administrative Officer 4.7 Board of Supervisors Public Comment (Continuation as needed) 5.
