8. AUTHORIZE RFP: CONSTRUCTION MANAGER SERVICES FOR THE ALHAMBRA
COMMUNITY CENTER – F2M25-32, RFP2M25-6
The Alhambra Community Center Project aims to construct a 17,000-square-foot
Community Center Building on the existing Health Center site, located on 612 West Shorb
Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The project will develop 9,000 square feet of
adaptive reuse on the western portion of the existing building and construct 8,000 square
feet of new building space. The City of Alhambra intends to hire a construction manager
for the “CM Multi-Prime” project delivery of the Alhambra Community Center project. The
Multi-Prime method differs from a general contractor given that the City contracts directly
with multiple, independent prime contractors for various aspects of the project. By doing
so, the City can reduce the project's cost. The City will secure the services of a multi-prime
construction manager to deliver the Project in a timely and cost-effective manner. The
construction manager will provide necessary input related to the project’s constructability,
contractor selection, and oversight of the contractor's performance while representing the
best interests of the City to ensure a quality, cost-effective project that is completed on
schedule and within budget. Sealed Proposals are due no later than 5:30 p.m. on
Thursday, May 22, 2025 at the Parks and Recreation Department.
Recommended Action: City Council authorize staff to circulate a Request for
Proposals to contract for Construction Manager Services for the Alhambra Community
Center Project; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s
action. |

7. RESOLUTION APPROVING A REVISED COMPREHENSIVE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE ALHAMBRA POLICE OFFICERS’
ASSOCIATION (APOA) – F2M25-2, R2M25-16, C87-16C, M2M25-42
Recruitments to fill vacancies in the position of Police Officer occur on a continuous basis.
In the past, City staff and APOA representatives have worked together in an effort to
proactively address recruitment and retention matters. Previously, from 2020 to 2023, the
City Council approved a temporary overhire of up to five (5) positions due to anticipated
retirements and lateral transfers at various ranks. Upon the expiration of the previously
agreed upon provision, City staff returned to budgeting two (2) overhires in the position of
Police Officer. Most recently, City staff was again informed of expected retirements and
lateral transfers within various ranks as a result of the impending retirements. City staff
and APOA representatives have met and conferred regarding the language proposed as
a temporary provision in the existing APOA Comprehensive MOU and have reached
agreement. Authorization to temporarily overhire by an additional two (2) Police Officers,
for a total of authorized overhire of four positions in Police Officer, will ensure the
Department’s staffing levels remains stable during this time of transition.
Recommended Action: City Council adopt Resolution No. R2M25-16 entitled: A
Resolution of the Alhambra City Council approving a Revised Comprehensive
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Alhambra and the Alhambra Police
Officers’ Association that includes a provision for a temporary increase and overhire of
Police Officers for a limited duration within the existing MOU contract period; and, direct
staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action. (M2M25-42) |
