Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently issued a series of Executive Orders (N-25-20, N-29-20, and N-08-21) that effectively suspended certain provisions of the Brown Act governing the use of teleconferencing by local legislative bodies and allowed them to hold fully virtual meetings. The Brown Act was subsequently amendment by enactment of AB 361 in 2021 to include new requirements for holding fully virtual meetings during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor.
The Brown Act, in Government Code Section 54953(b)(3), typical requires a city legislative body that this uses teleconferencing to: (1) post agendas at all teleconference locations from which members will participate, (2) identify each location in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, (3) make teleconference location accessible to the public and (4) maintain at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body in locations within the boundaries of the city. Under Government Code Section 54953(e) as amended by AB 361, fully virtual meetings are allowed without complying with these requirements during a proclaimed state of emergency if either:
1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or,
2. The legislative body determines by majority vote that as a result of the emergency meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
After the initial teleconferenced meeting the legislative body must reconsider the state of emergency and determine whether either of the above circumstances continue every 30 days in order to continue to teleconference without complying with the requirements in section 54953(b)(3) listed above.
The City Council found both circumstances listed both existed and began holding fully virtual public 6
Virtual Meetings Sept 2022 - Staff Report
meetings on September 28, 2021. The Council reconsidered findings at least every 30 days between September 28, 2021 and March 8, 2022 and affirmed both findings. On April 26, 2022, the Council found that state and local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
The current San Mateo County Health Officer order related to COVID-19 issued on February 16, 2022, remains in effect and advises that individuals should continue to follow guidance released by the United States Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) including their sub-agency United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), and California Department of Social Services (“CDSS”).
On February 25, 2022, Governor Newsom lifted many of his previous emergency order’s related to COVID-19 and left in place critical measures that support the state’s ongoing response and recovery efforts. By mid-March 2022, transmission and hospitalize rates were low and stable and the circumstances appeared appropriate to transition back to in-person meetings. However, since then transmission and case rates have been steadily rising.
On April 13, 2022, California Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón issued a statement noting that the rising transmissions “underscores the need for Californians to remain vigilant and protect themselves and their communities by getting vaccinated and boosted.” At this time, a vaccine has not been approved for children under 5 years.
On May 6, 2022, the chief of San Mateo County Health, Louise Rogers issued a statement encouraging the public “to take the important actions we can to protect ourselves and our loved ones” in response to increasing COVID-19 transmission in the community and rising COVID-19 hospitalizations. On May 23, 2022, the chief issued a statement noting that community transmission was high and raising and urging people to take protective safety projections against the continued increase in COVID-19 case transmission test positivity and hospitalization.
In June, July and the beginning of August, 2022, COVID-19 transmission and community levels were high in San Mateo County and but since have fallen. As of September 7, 2022, the CDC assessed the COVID-19 community levels in San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Contra Costa counties as low, but community levels were medium in Sacramento, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, and Marin Counties and high in Stanislaus County. The CDC continues to recommend that individuals who are not up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations stay six feet apart from other people in indoor public places. The CDC also continues to advise regardless of community transmission level that physical distancing along with other risk-reduction measures will help reduce the chances of spreading COVID-19 and especially recommends physical distancing when levels are medium or high. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus.
The current emergency COVID-19 regulations of the California Department of Industrial Relations Division Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) require employers to inform employees that strategies to decease the spread of COVID-19 are most effective when used in combination including physical distancing.

Virtual Meetings Sept 2022 - Staff Report
Analysis
Transmission rates of COVID-19 have presently declined, however the risk of COVID-19 variants which continue to emerge are still unknown. COVID-19 remains a significant public health hazard, particularly for unvaccinated individuals and continues to spread and impact nearly all parts of city operations.
Reducing the circumstances under which people come into close contact remains an important component of Belmont’s COVID-19 response strategy. However, the open nature of public meetings makes it is difficult to enforce compliance with vaccination, physical distancing, masking, cough and sneeze etiquette, or other safety measures. Meetings of the city’s legislative bodies incur indoors for sustained periods of time which increases the risk to members of the legislative bodies and attending members of the public to Delta variant transmission and infection. In addition, the non-emergency teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act do not provide a safe alternative for legislative body members who may be at high risk of infection or are susceptible to more severe illness as a result of infection because those rules require that the public be allowed to attend at the teleconference location.
Staff concludes that the Council may reasonably find, based on the available public health information pertaining to COVID-19, that meeting in person by the city’s legislative bodies at this time would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. Staff also concludes that the Council may also reasonably find, as an independent basis for continuing virtual meetings, that the County Health Officer recommends individuals follow CDC guidance which continues to encourage physical distancing as risk reduction strategy, and that CalOSHA continues to promote physical distancing as a prevention strategy in the workplace. Council may therefore find that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing in settings such as legislative body meetings.

ITEMS OF BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARING
District Elections Map, At-Large Mayor, and Sequence of Elections City Attorney Rennie provided a background of the districting process as related to the City of Belmont. He explained that the City received a letter on July 30, 2021 from attorney Kevin Shankman representing the Southwest Voter Education Registration Project and its members alleging that the City’s method of electing at-large councilmembers violates the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). He noted that under the CVRA a plaintiff establishes that the at-large election method results in racially polarized voting and impairs the ability of a protected class to elect or affect the election of their preferred candidate. He noted that the cases are difficult to defend, and no city has been successful in litigating the cases and are required to pay exorbitant attorney fees.
He briefly summarized the timeline of moving from at-large to district elections. He noted that the districting process needs to be complete by April 12, 2022 as obligated by Mr. Shenkman’s suit.
He explained that the San Mateo Registrar or Voters requires the adopted maps by April 18th.
Mr. Rennie explained that the Council held numerous public meetings and has before them draft maps to select a final map which will establish council election districts.

Mr. Chaffee, City Demographer, Redistricting Partners, provided an overview of the districting principles for Council consideration while determining Belmont’s districts. He stated that community participation resulted in over fifty map submissions with common community interests.

He noted that the final map may not be amended and due to the timeline, a final map should be agreed on at tonight’s meeting.

GENERAL BUSINESS
Housing Preference Policy for Affordable Housing Units
Community Development Director de Melo stated that the City continues to invest Affordable Housing Funds in the development of new affordable housing units, he noted that during the Firehouse Square entitlement process the City Council expressed an interest in creating a local live-work housing preference policy for City sponsored units. 15 Multi-Agency Meeting Minutes

Page | 5
He defined the Live-Work policy stating that it offers application priority to income-qualifying residents who either live or work in the housing area and must be structured to not to have any disparate or discriminatory impacts on a protected class of people.
He defined two Belmont goals that would be supported by a live-work preference policy: mitigate the impacts of displacement on lower income households and reduce vehicle miles travelled (VTM) and greenhouse gas emissions.
In response to Councilmember Hurt Community Development Director de Melo stated that the focus of the Live-Work policy is on emissions rather natural disaster displacement.
In response to Councilmember Lieberman Mr. de Melo stated that offering a housing preference to family members of Belmont residents who do not live or work in Belmont does not achieve the goals of the policy. City Attorney Rennie clarified that not working or living in Belmont would expand the nature of the preference in a way that has not yet been researched and may exasperate the disparate impact.
Mayor Mates opened the item for public comment. Two members of the public provided comments one being inaudible.

The General Fund balance is $17.8 million, a $4.4 million increase compared to amount at the prior fiscal year end. The increase compared to the 6/30/21 balance was primarily due to the receipt of one‐time $3.2 million in ARPA Federal Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) recovering over the prior year by $1.1 million.

Agenda Title: Mickelson Therapy Pool
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution in support of Sutter Health to reopen the Mack E. Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center Therapy Pool for community use at the Mills Health Center in San Mateo, with the same open access hours that were in place prior to January 2020.
Strategic Focus Area
Not Applicable
Background
On June 28, at the City Council meeting, Mayor Mates brought an Item 11 to the City Council for discussion and direction, related to a request for a resolution of support to reopen the Sutter Health Mack E. Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center Therapy Pool for community use at the Mills Health Center in San Mateo.
Analysis
The pool closed at the onset of the COVID -19 epidemic in 2020. In the past few months, several jurisdictions, including the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, Sequoia Healthcare District, and the cities of Millbrae, San Mateo, Burlingame, and Foster City, passed similar resolutions in support of the re-opening of this facility. After discussion on June 28th, the Council directed staff to draft a resolution to present to Mills Health Center in San Mateo in support of reopening the rehabilitation center.

2023 Vehicle Purchases - Staff Report.docx
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: September 13, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Rico Acquisti, Public Works Department, Fleet Management, (650) 595-7466, [email protected]
Agenda Title: City Vehicle Purchases for Fiscal Year 2023 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for the acquisition of three Public Works trucks, one Parks and Recreation transit van, one Police vehicle and associated equipment for all vehicles for a total amount not to exceed $585,000.
Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
The City of Belmont currently has an inventory of 96 pieces of equipment, which includes vehicles, offroad equipment, and emergency generators. Fleet Management is responsible for the maintenance and replacement of all vehicles in the fleet. By using various procurement methods, it will be advantageous for the City to acquire and outfit these vehicles in a more cost-effective manner.
Five replacement vehicles are listed in Attachment B. Three are vehicles scheduled for replacement in FY 2023: Vehicle #234 (Elgin Street Sweeper), Vehicle #127 (PD Administration., Dodge Charger) and #316 (Parks & Recreation Building Maintenance, Ford F-350 Truck). Vehicles #127 and #316 were scheduled for replacement in prior years and deferred until Fiscal Year 2023 as a short-term Covid-19-related cost savings measure. Fleet Management evaluated each of these vehicles and determined they meet the replacement requirements and are not serviceable in the long term.. The City will procure two other vehicles (#202-Public Works F-350 and #205-Public Works F-250) that were authorized for replacement by Council on September 14, 2021, which had also been deferred. The requested budget authorization includes an estimated cost differential ($80,000) for these vehicles in Fiscal Year 2023 budget to acquire a total of five vehicles to meet the end users’ operational needs.
Analysis
The three vehicles scheduled for replacement (#127, #234, and #316) were evaluated and have reached the end of their useful life. The evaluation is based on mileage, condition, parts availability, and maintenance cost. Police vehicle #127, a 2009 Dodge Charger has acquired over 61,000 miles and has experienced engine cooling issues causing out of service conditions. Vehicle replacement has been deferred since FY 2017. Public Works truck #234, a 2014 Freightliner/Elgin Street Sweeper has acquired over 68,000 miles on the chassis and over 6,800 hours on the sweeping system. This unit has experienced multiple mechanical and operational breakdowns causing extensive out of service conditions and 32
2023 Vehicle Purchases - Staff Report.docx
expensive repairs. Parks truck #316, a 2001 Ford F350 has acquired over 59,000 miles and no longer meets the operational needs of Building Maintenance staff. Vehicle replacement has been deferred since FY 2016.
On September 14, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 2021-079, authorizing the acquisition of five City vehicles and associated equipment. Due to vehicle manufacturer’s backlog and worldwide chip shortages, trucks #202 and #205 purchases were deferred. The proposed resolution will allow for these two vehicles to be replaced this fiscal year.
Fleet Management collaborates with each department to develop specifications for the new vehicles that meet their operational needs, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the process, the City evaluates new vehicles that provide the best available net reduction in vehicle fleet emissions, considering life cycle, economic, and environmental impacts (e.g., by purchasing more efficient or alternative fuel vehicles based on available technology).
Procurement
Vehicle #127 will be used by the Police Department. The vehicle acquired to replace #127 will be a 2023 model year Toyota Camry Hybrid Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle. The hybrid powertrain allows the vehicle to operate on electric power while driving or at the scene of an incident which results in better fuel efficiency, reduced GHG emissions, lower fuel costs, and increases the number of alternative fuel vehicles in the fleet.
Truck #234 will be used by the Public Works Storm Water/Pollution Control Division for City wide street sweeping. The truck acquired to replace #234 will be a 2022 model year Freightliner equipped with a Cummins B6.7L diesel engine. The sweeper power unit is equipped with a 2021 model year John Deere
4.5L industrial diesel engine. Both engines have improved fuel economy, reduced emissions and are Tier 4 Final certified by the California Air Resources Board and are significant improvements over the existing 2014 diesel engine of the current sweeper in terms of reduced particulate emissions.
Trucks #202 and #205 will be used by the Public Works Department. Truck #202 will be assigned to the Street Maintenance Division and truck #205 will be assigned to the Sewer Utilities Division. Both vehicles acquired for replacement will be 2023 model year Ford F350 one-ton trucks with improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Each truck will be outfitted to transport supplies, tools, and equipment safely and adequately while reducing the risk of injury.
Truck #316 will be used by the Parks Department Building Maintenance Division. The vehicle acquired for replacement will be 2023 model year Ford E350 one-ton High Roof Transit Cargo Van. It’s equipped with a V-6 EcoBoost engine that provides excellent performance, improves fuel economy, and reduces emissions over existing models. The van will be outfitted to transport supplies, equipment, specialty tools, and provide staff with an enclosed workspace.
These vehicles will be purchased using various methods for procurement. Where applicable, staff will use the formal bid process to solicit competitive quotes, a host agency’s awarded contract (piggybacking), or a co-operative purchasing contract from Sourcewell or the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC). 33
2023 Vehicle Purchases - Staff Report.docx
Piggyback contracts represent the most immediate cooperative purchasing resource, and lower administrative and purchasing costs.
Contracting agencies such as Sourcewell and HGAC provide procurement services to education and government entities throughout the country. These agencies offer a multitude of cooperatively contracted products, equipment and service opportunities, and have the legislative authority to solicit, evaluate, and award contracts through a competitive solicitation process, saving users time and money.
These co-operative purchasing contracts satisfy the City’s competitive bid requirements, and Belmont has successfully used these in the past to purchase vehicles.
The existing vehicles will be removed from service and may be used as a trade in towards the purchase of a new asset, donated for uses such as the Police Academy as appropriate, or sent to auction for disposal once the replacement vehicles are placed into service.
Approval of the resolution will authorize the procurement of five new City vehicles and associated equipment from the lowest responsible bidder for a total amount not to exceed $585,000. Funds for the replacement of existing vehicles are set aside throughout the useful life of the vehicles. As such, funds for the purchase of these vehicles are available in the Fleet and Equipment Management Fund and have been included in the adopted FY 2023 budget.

Agenda Title: 2023 Sewer Rehabilitation Project – Design Services Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Task Order with Schaaf and Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers for an amount not to exceed $130,690 for 2023 Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
As part of the on-going Pavement Rehabilitation Program, City staff is planning to reconstruct pavement on 10 streets in summer of 2023. All streets are in poor condition and require significant amount of work.
In an effort to avoid cutting into newly paved roads, staff prefers to assess the sewer infrastructure at these locations before they get re-paved. Public Works Operations and Engineering staff video inspected all sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure located under these streets, evaluated the results, and determined that several sanitary sewer pipes are deteriorated and need to be replaced/repaired prior to pavement project. The infrastructure in need of repairs is located on the following streets:
• Arbor Avenue
• South Road
• Middle Road
• Hillman Avenue
• Lyon Avenue
Approximately 3,500 linear feet of pipes need to be replaced and/or repaired using open trench and/or trenchless methods.
Analysis
In order to complete the sewer repairs and replacements prior to the street rehabilitations, the City plans to complete the sewer construction by July 2023.
Staff solicited proposals from civil engineering firms under its on-call agreements to conduct design, bid and construction support services. Only two proposals were received and after reviewing the proposals, staff deemed Schaaf and Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers’ proposal responsive to provide design and 37

Ralston Corridor Improvement - Segment 3 NOC - Staff Report.docx
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: September 13, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jared Barrilleaux, Public Works, (650) 595-7469, [email protected] Agenda Title: Ralston Corridor Improvement Project – Segment 3 Notice of Completion Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution accepting work and authorizing the issuance of a Notice of Completion for the Ralston Corridor Improvement Project – Segment 3, City Contract Number 2020-589, for a final contract cost of $2,252,285.
Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
Ralston Avenue Corridor Improvements – Segment 3 is a multimodal transportation improvement designed to improve safety for people biking, walking and driving along Ralston Avenue from Alameda De las Pulgas to South Road. The City was awarded about $1 million from the One Bay Area (OBAG 2) grant by the City/County Association of Governments to complete Segment 3 under federal funding.
Another $1 million has been awarded from the County Transportation Authority specifically for the sidewalk and bike lane portions of the project, Measure W is contributing $400,000 and Council has authorized $580,000 in Measure I funds totaling just over $3 million to cover construction and inspection related costs.
The project consists of concrete sidewalk construction to replace asphalt sidewalk previously in poor condition along the project segment on the Ralston Avenue corridor. New lasting concrete sidewalk paths have been widened to provide adequate width for pedestrians and ADA paths of travel, and large mature trees have been preserved along the sidewalk. Curb faces have been realigned to allow room for new contiguous Class II bike lanes in areas where bike lane gaps existed. New curb ramps are included in the project at some street corners to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. At two locations Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Systems (RRFBs) are added to create a safer measure of street crossing at high-density crossing locations at Chula Vista and just west of South Road. The City’s goal for the Ralston Avenue Corridor Improvements – Segment 3 is to increase the overall safety of the corridor for all travelers and that goal has been met with substantial completion.
In May 2022 Council authorized an additional Measure I contribution to augment existing grant funds and revise the pavement repair strategy, focusing the project benefits on the long-term investment to the roadway using cold in-place recycled pavement. At the time of staff report preparation, the contractor for the project had given staff an estimated date and cost for the work. However, since Council approval in May, the contractor was unable to commit to the cost proposal provided or the required schedule for 40
Ralston Corridor Improvement - Segment 3 NOC - Staff Report.docx work to occur during summer months and before start of school fall schedules, and more problematically, they did not honor the originally estimated cost to complete the cold in-place recycled pavement rehabilitation. As a result, and to prevent cost overruns, the proposed pavement work will be rebid for construction in summer 2023 under a separate contract to complete pavement rehabilitation and restriping work along the Ralston Segment 3 corridor.
Analysis
The project is now complete to the satisfaction of the City in accordance with the construction plans and specifications. The total cost of construction is $2,252,284.68 which is within the approved budget.
During construction, the contractor experienced unforeseen conditions in the field due to utility, underground, and property related driveway conflicts, which resulted in 11 change orders. The City has retained 5% from Interstate Grading and Paving, Inc. to ensure that all subcontractors and suppliers are paid. The procedure for releasing the retention is the City Council’s acceptance of the work with authorization to issue and record the Notice of Completion. Retention will be released by September 20, 2022 which is 60 days from July 22nd - the date of project substantial completion. The contractor has also submitted one claim to the City for disputed work and that claim is expected to be resolved outside of this notice of completion in accordance with the Public Contract Code.

San Juan Pump Station Slope Repair Project Rejection of All Bids, CCN 2019-579 - Staff Report.docx
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: September 13, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Nima Mazhari, Public Works, (650) 730-5706, [email protected] Agenda Title: San Juan Pump Station Slope Repair Project Rejection of All Bids, CCN 2019-579 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution rejecting all bids received for the San Juan Pump Station Slope Repair Project, City Contract Number 2019-579.
Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
On February 2019, during a period of prolonged and intense rainfall, 1,200 square feet of the East Laurel Creek bank below the San Juan Sewer Pump Station failed. The bank became saturated and one tree that was helping to stabilize the slope was uprooted. The slope has been tarped since the incident to avoid further slippage. The creek bank adjacent to the pump station is steeply sloped along the edge of the pump station. The City initiated a geotechnical and structural assessment of the creek bank wall subsequent to the slope failure. The pump station is a critical facility as one of Belmont’s largest volume sanitary sewer lift stations.
Analysis
On February 22, 2022, the City Council approved the project plans and specification and authorized advertising and awarding the project for an amount up to the engineer’s estimate of $275,000. On August 4th, the City held a Bid Opening. Only one general contractor submitted a bid as follows:
1. Redgwick Construction Company $363,252.00
Due to the project only having one bid and the significant apparent additional construction costs due to shortened construction window due to winter rains and construction moratorium within the creek bed, City staff believes that it is in the City’s best interest to reject all bids and re-bid the project in January 2023, a time of year when bids are generally more competitive. The City is rejecting the bids per Public Contract Code Section 22038 (a) which states that the city has the discretion to reject any bids presented.
City staff will update the engineer’s estimate, and repackage the project in order to make the project more attractive to prospective bidders. The re-bidding of the project during this time will most likely reduce the project cost depending on regional economic conditions at the time. 48

Staff Report - Service Agreement Amendment - 4 Leaf Company - 9-13-22 (2)
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: September 13, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Carlos de Melo, Community Development Director, (650) 595-7440 [email protected]
Agenda Title: Service Agreement Amendment No. 1 with 4 Leaf, Inc. for Building Inspection Services
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement with 4 Leaf, Inc to provide building inspection services in the amount of $99,910 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $149,865.
Strategic Focus Area
Economic Development and Housing
Background
From time to time the City uses third-party building inspection staff for services related to large-scale, complex development project review, and all inspection disciplines. These projects/services require skilled building staff with expertise which may not be readily available inhouse, and/or manage one time peak workload demands.
Analysis
Staff requests that the City Council authorize Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement amendment for building inspection services related to development projects, and City-wide building inspections on an as assigned basis, from 4 Leaf, Inc. at the rates set forth in Attachment B, in an amount of $99,910 as outlined in Attachment C, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $149,865. These provisions are enumerated in the proposed resolution accompanying this report, contingent upon the availability of existing funds and with the expectation that service costs will be recouped from fees collected from building plan check/inspection applicants.
City staff believes use of third-party building inspection services (as necessary) is reasonable and appropriate. Due to significant development activity occurring throughout the city (in multiple forms), there is a clear anticipated increase in complex development review applications and associated building construction inspections. Use of such services via third-party assistance will free up staff resources to expedite plan review, reduce wait times for inspection requests, and will assist in managing the Permit Center project load in a timely manner.
4 Leaf, Inc. currently provides building inspection services to Belmont and several Bay Area cities, and on an individual development project management basis. They employ building staff with various skill 51
Staff Report - Service Agreement Amendment - 4 Leaf Company - 9-13-22 (2) sets that can meet both short- and long-term staffing needs for public jurisdictions. 4 Leaf, Inc. has a significant group of building staff to meet a wide variety of plan review/inspection needs. They are available to provide ICC certified inspectors as assigned including staffing for short-term assignments including one day assignments to cover staff training, sick days, vacation days, or spikes in permit activity.
Staff requests that the City Council authorize Amendment No. 1 to the service agreement with 4 Leaf, Inc. in an amount of $99,910 to cover services estimated for the remainder of FY 2023. Building inspection services related to complex development projects are typically funded by the applicant, and therefore is not expected to have a direct financial impact on the City. For other matters, the authorization for procurement of planning services requested is limited to the amount of available funds appropriated within the fiscal year budget for that purpose.

1. Deny the request.

SECTION 3: SCOPE OF WORK – INSPECTION
Inspection Services
4LEAF has a team of more than 175 ICC Certified Building Inspectors, OSHPD/DSA Inspectors of Record, Fire Personnel, and Construction Inspectors working on various contracts. 4LEAF is headquartered in Pleasanton and has a team committed to work throughout the Bay Area who will remain for the duration of projects to ensure we capture the goals and performance that have made our inspection system successful.
We maintain the largest database of qualified inspectors of varied qualifications. Inspectors vary from current full-time inspection staff, idle staff (temporarily between assignments), and pre-qualified staff which include inspectors who are available subject to client demand. 4LEAF’s inspectors are all ICC Certified and experienced working within a municipal work environment. 4LEAF will provide inspectors with all the necessary tools, equipment, and current code books sufficient to facilitate all required inspections. 4LEAF can provide interim or full-time inspectors same-day or within one business day—simply call, email, or text our assigned Project Manager for an immediate response. Our on-call database is utilized for all our clients for as-needed requests.
Periodic Inspection Services Available Next Day
4LEAF can fulfill inspection requests immediately upon request including same day. 4LEAF has a wealth of local and available inspectors ready to serve the City. In addition, 4LEAF has a proven track record of providing such services to a number of different building departments.
Part-Time Inspection Services Available Next Day
4LEAF will provide the City with part-time inspectors upon request. 4LEAF can provide part-time staff within 24 hours of request for any duration of time. 4LEAF’s Project Manager will work closely with the department to identify the right personnel and determine the appropriate work schedule.
Full-Time Inspection Services Available Two Days or Less 4LEAF can provide full-time inspectors upon request. 4LEAF provides this service regularly to many clients throughout Northern California, Central Coast, Sacramento Valley, Peninsula/South Bay, East Bay, North Bay, and Central Valley.

currently handles large-scale projects for such clients as the City of Palo Alto, City of Cupertino, etc. These projects are developer funded into a separate City account which is distributed to 4LEAF using a separate invoice and contract number. This is particularly helpful to fast paced projects looking for continuous inspection services over a short period of time (i.e. 6 - 36 Months).
Inspection Personnel
4LEAF will provide inspectors to perform inspections on permitted projects at each necessary point of progress, verifying compliance with the approved plans. 4LEAF inspectors will possess valid ICC certification or other equivalent certification acceptable. 4LEAF can also provide CASp Building Inspectors for disabled access inspections as needed. We will provide inspector qualifications to the Building Official or other designated City staff member for acceptance prior to assignment of duties. Below is a quick look into 4LEAF’s on-call inspection database, which is made of qualified and quality team members who are ready and able to take on the City’s projects.

3.2 - Plan Review
72 Qualifications to Provide Inspection, Plan Review, and Code Enforcement Services to the City of Belmont Page 12 Section 4: Scope of Work – Plan Review November 3, 2021 SECTION 3: SCOPE OF WORK – PLAN REVIEW
Plan Review Services
4LEAF will provide Plan Review for any and all types of structures to ensure compliance with all adopted codes, local ordinances (including Tier 1 of Cal Green, if required) and State and federal laws that pertain to Building and Safety, and for compliance with the adopted International Code Council (ICC) Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, National Fire Protection codes and standards, and the Accessibility and Noise and Energy Conservation requirements as mandated by the State of California Title 24, State of California Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, the State of California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) compliance, and all other applicable ordinances. The types of projects we provide these services for include Single-Family Dwellings, large Multi-Family Mixed-Use Dwelling Units, Commercial, and Industrial.
Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
• Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data; • Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and City ordinances, including but not limited to Title 24 and Title 25; • Performing such reviews as structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading and drainage; • Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as per the applicable laws;
• Reviewing plans to ensure conformity with use and occupancy classification, general building heights and areas, types of construction, fire resistance construction and protection systems, means of egress, accessibility, structural design, soils and foundations; and masonry; • Providing additional plan review services as requested by the City; • Conducting all plan review at the City Department or at a site mutually agreed upon in writing and; • Supplying all plan review staff with all code books and other basic professional references.
On- and Off-Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the City to work on-site performing structural plan review and non-structural reviews at the jurisdiction’s discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with the structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances.
Process Mapping
4LEAF aims to bring departmental processes together by identifying and eliminating obstacles to streamline processes. Our subject-matter experts visit each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of existing processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and provide guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan. 4LEAF implementation staff work both on- and off-site during this process and offer extensive training to existing municipal staff members on the use of a jurisdiction’s preferred permitting software. We have a robust amount of experience with software that aids in the implementation of process mapping, such as e-PlanSoft, TRACKiT, EnerGov, Accela, and iWorq. 73 Qualifications to Provide Inspection, Plan Review, and Code Enforcement Services to the City of Belmont Page 13 Section 4: Scope of Work – Plan Review November 3, 2021 Plan Review QA/AC Review Process
Task 1 – Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City of Belmont each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans, calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed with our review.
Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project tracking.
Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City of Belmont with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at the City of Belmont or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these concerns.
Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting documents per the City of Belmont processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of completion.
74 Qualifications to Provide Inspection, Plan Review, and Code Enforcement Services to the City of Belmont Page 14 Section 4: Scope of Work – Plan Review November 3, 2021 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
EZPlan Review is our in-house tracking software that
acts as a communication tool between 4LEAF and
the jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPlan
makes communication easy. This web portal allows
users visualize project due dates, notes, and status
updates so that projects can be followed from start
to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically
stamped and uploaded copies of approved project
plans, a value which saves clients time and
resources. With the use of EZPlan, 4LEAF hopes to
provide a level of ease and transparency during the
off-site plan review process.
Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF’s Plan Review Manager and Document Control Technician analyze the project, creates a job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both the jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily accessed EZPlan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews and is open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view 4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review Portal.
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the Codes” reinforced through proprietary and
jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client’s pre-designated contacts.
Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers, businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process. 75 Qualifications to Provide Inspection, Plan Review, and Code Enforcement Services to the City of Belmont Page 15 Section 4: Scope of Work – Plan Review November 3, 2021 4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large scale monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.
Additional Technologies
Having served more than 250 jurisdictions, 4LEAF and our staff are knowledgeable and have experience working with a variety of different technologies for Electronic Plan Review, Permit Tracking, and Building Inspections. 4LEAF’s experience with tracking technologies includes, but is not limited to:
Structural Only Review
Upon request, 4LEAF will perform “structural only” reviews for the City. 4LEAF can communicate directly with the designers via email, in-person meetings, and through our EZPlan Review system. 4LEAF prefers PDF files for “structural only” reviews as they allow several Structural Engineers to review plans together should there be design-related questions. The majority of 4LEAF’s plan review engineers have a design background and work well with project designers.
Certified Access Specialist (CASp)
4LEAF has 16 Certified Access Specialists on staff. We have performed CASp inspections, plan review projects, and have consulted on numerous construction projects for accessibility questions and advice.

Background
The project site (401 Island Parkway) is part of a larger Planned Development area that includes office buildings, the Farallon residential neighborhood, the Hyatt House (hotel), Belmont Sports Complex, additional open space, and other infrastructure improvements. 301 and 501 Island Parkway also sit within the same office park area. The overall Planned Development area was developed in phases over the past four decades, as noted below.
• 1984: The City of Belmont entered into a Development Agreement with KG Land California. The City also approved several entitlements, creating the framework for the larger Planned Development area and approving the first development phase. The first phase, which included the Farallon residential area, was constructed in the following years. Future stages of the development, including the subject properties, were required to obtain a Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) and other approvals before construction.
• 1998-1999: Oracle applied to the City to develop office buildings on the subject property to accommodate an expansion of the company. The City reviewed and approved several development entitlements, including an Owner Participation Agreement and Development Agreement (DA), Conceptual Development Plan (CDP), and Detailed Development Plan (DDP) that allowed the development of office buildings at 301, 401, and 501 Island Parkway. The DA also includes establishing mandatory "public benefits," including the Belmont Sports Complex, bike bridge, public parking areas and other open space and infrastructure improvements.
