Preliminary Matters
Roll Call:
Land Acknowledgement Statement: The City of Berkeley recognizes that the community we live in was built on the territory of xučyun (Huchiun (Hooch-yoon)), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-chen-yo)-speaking Ohlone (Oh-low-nee) people, the ancestors and descendants of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to all of the Ohlone Tribes and descendants of the Verona Band. As we begin our meeting tonight, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of Berkeley, the documented 5,000 -year history of a vibrant community at the West Berkeley Shellmound, and the Ohlone people who continue to reside in the East Bay. We recognize that Berkeley’s residents have and continue to benefit from the use and occupation of this unceded stolen land since the City of Berkeley’s incorporation in 1878. As stewards of the laws regulating the City of Berkeley, it is not only vital that we recognize the history of this land, but also recognize that the Ohlone people are present members of Berkeley and other East Bay communities today. The City of Berkeley will continue to build relationships with the Lisjan Tribe and to create meaningful actions that uphold the intention of this land acknowledgement.
Ceremonial Matters: In addition to those items listed on the agenda, the Mayor may add additional ceremonial matters.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 9, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Farimah Faiz Brown, City Attorney
Submitted by: Marc Shapp, Deputy City Attorney
Subject: Waiver of Sanctuary City Ordinance to Amend Westlaw Subscription
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution waiving the contract prohibition of Chapter 13.105, Sanctuary City Contracting, in order to amend the City Attorney’s Office subscription to Westlaw to include case calendaring capabilities.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City’s Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 included annual funding of $25,000 per year for the City Attorney’s Office (CAO) to procure calendaring software to provide a way to manage court deadlines, project flow, and files. However, the CAO was until recently unable to identify a satisfactory product.
The CAO has identified Deadline Assistant, the calendaring solution offered by Westlaw, a Thomsen Reuters Company (Westlaw), as a satisfactory solution that meets the CAO’s case calendaring needs. On June 1, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 69,907-N.S., granting the CAO a waiver pursuant to Chapter 13.105, the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance, specifically in order for the City to contract with Westlaw to obtain necessary legal research resources. Accordingly, the CAO now requests a resolution waiving the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance requirements in order to amend the current Westlaw subscription to include Deadline Assistant.
BACKGROUND
The CAO brings litigation on behalf of the City and responds to claims and lawsuits to protect the City’s interests. A critical component of all litigation is the management of deadlines imposed by rule and the various courts in which the cases are filed. Cases may be adversely decided based on missed deadlines irrespective of the merits of the City’s position. Furthermore, malpractice exposure from calendar related errors is a significant risk for every lawyer and every legal department. The CAO can greatly reduce these risks with rules-based legal calendaring software. In addition, to the extent such calendaring software is customizable, the CAO can leverage that capability outside of the litigation context to increase general workflow efficiency.
Waiver of Sanctuary City Ordinance to Amend Westlaw Subscription CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
The CAO researched potential calendaring software options and initially determined that the CompuLaw product offered by Aderant North America, Inc. (Aderant) was the best product available for the CAO’s needs. However, during discussions with Aderant it became clear that Aderant was unable or unwilling to certify compliance with several of the City’s contracting requirements, including the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance.
The CAO then reviewed Westlaw’s calendaring product, Deadline Assistant. Deadline Assistant is offered as an add-on to the CAO’s existing legal research subscription.
Acquiring this capability would allow the CAO to better organize its caseload, automatically schedule critical dates in accordance with the applicable rule set, and create custom rule sets to apply to other areas of the CAO’s workload.
The Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance, adopted in 2019, prohibits contracting with an entity that provides services to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department unless a waiver is granted by the Council. Section 13.105.030 provides that a waiver can be granted “…based on a specific determination that no reasonable alternative exists, taking into consideration the following:
1. The intent and purpose of this ordinance;
2. The availability of alternative services, goods and equipment; and
3. Quantifiable additional costs resulting from use of available alternatives.” The intent and purpose of the Ordinance is to ensure that the City does not financially support any company that provides services that infringes upon the rights of immigrants.
Here, Council already has approved the use of Westlaw to, among other things, enhance efforts to protect immigrant rights as needed. Amending the CAO’s Westlaw subscription will further enhance the CAO’s capabilities to do so. With respect to the availability of alternative services, as explained above, the CAO has been unable to identify an alternative product from a supplier that is willing to certify compliance the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance. Indeed, not only is the Aderant product offered by a company that also will not agree to comply with the Ordinance, Aderant also declined to sign on to several other of the City’s contracting requirements. Consequently, no amount of additional costs can eliminate the need for a waiver of the Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The CAO intends to contract only for online access to Deadline Assistant. Therefore, there is no identifiable impact on the environment.
Waiver of Sanctuary City Ordinance to Amend Westlaw Subscription CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The CAO requires case calendaring capabilities, and no vendor has been identified that will comply with the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None.

RESOLUTION NO. ##,###-N.S.
ADOPT A RESOLUTION WAIVING THE CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS OF THE SANCTUARY CITY CONTRACTING ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 13.105
OF THE BERKELEY MUNICIPAL CODE, IN ORDER TO CONTRACT WITH WESTLAW,
A THOMSON REUTERS COMPANY
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Ordinance No. 7650-N.S. and Chapter 13.105, the Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance, in order to contract with Westlaw, a Thomson Reuters Company, to add case calendaring capabilities, the City Council must determine that no reasonable alternative exists based on consideration of three factors; and WHEREAS, the three factors: the intent and purpose of the act, the availability of alternative service providers and quantifiable additional costs resulting from the use of alternative providers have all been considered; and
WHEREAS, the use of calendaring software is indispensable to the practice of law; and WHEREAS, contracting with Westlaw will not violate the intent of the Ordinance as its services will be used to promote the interest of the immigrant community in conformance with the intent and purpose of the Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, no other contractors are available who can provide the services required by this contract without also requiring a waiver; and
WHEREAS, no additional costs are quantifiable as there are no available alternatives; and
WHEREAS, failing to provide this waiver would result in increased risk of adverse litigation outcomes and exposure to malpractice claims; and NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley that a waiver to the "no-contract" provision of the B.M.C. Section 13.105 is approved because no reasonable alternative exists to the services that will be provided under contract with Westlaw, a Thomsen Reuters Company.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 9, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Sharon Friedrichsen, Budget Manager
Subject: Amendment: FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the first reading of an Ordinance amending the FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance No. 7,851–N.S. for fiscal year 2023 based upon recommended re- appropriation of committed FY 2022 funding and other adjustments in the amount of $27,740,780 (gross) and $29,458,924 (net).
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
On June 28, 2022 the City Council adopted the FY 2023 Budget, authorizing gross appropriations of $754,176,624 and net appropriations of $625,939,999 (net of dual appropriations).
City Council approved the First Amendment to the FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance on January 17, 2023, which increased the gross appropriations to $932,466,575 and net appropriations to $791,136,901. The amendment re-authorized some funding previously committed in FY 2022 and approved some new expenditures, including new grant fund appropriations.
This Second Amendment to the FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance totals $27,740,780 (gross) and $29,458,924 (net) and increases gross appropriations to $960,207,355 and net appropriations to $820,595,825. The proposed changes are primarily unencumbered carryover and adjustments to continue and start capital projects and other City initiatives.
BACKGROUND
The Annual Appropriations Ordinance (AAO) establishes the expenditure limits by fund for FY 2023. Throughout the year, the City takes actions that amend the adopted budget. These may include, but are not limited to, the acceptance of new grants, revisions to existing grants, adjustments to adopted expenditure authority due to emergency needs, and transfers in accordance with Council’s fiscal policies.
Amendment: FY 2023 Annual Appropriations Ordinance CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
The adopted budget is also amended annually to reflect the re-appropriation of prior year funds for contractual commitments (i.e. encumbrances) as well as unencumbered carryover of unexpended funds previously authorized for one-time, non-recurring purposes. These budget modifications are periodically presented to the Council in the form of an Ordinance amending the Annual Appropriations Ordinance, which formally requires a two-thirds vote of the City Council.
When Council adopts an appropriations ordinance (budget), it is based on projected revenues and expenditures. If fund balances do not support the requested level of expenditures, no carryover is recommended.
The proposed changes, presented in their entirety in Exhibit A, are summarized as follows:
Below is a summary of the FY 2022 Unencumbered Carryover and the FY 2023 Adjustments for the City’s General Fund and Other Funds.
General Fund: The General Fund includes recommended unencumbered carryover of $100,000 and recommended adjustments of $2,268,270 for the following items:

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Aram Kouyoumdjian, Director of Human Resources Subject: Appointment of the Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution confirming the appointment of David Sprague-Livingston as the Fire Chief to be effective May 14, 2023, at an annual base salary of $268,320.00.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The salary and benefits for the Fire Chief are included in the FY 2023-2024 departmental budget. The position is paid 100% from the General Fund (Budget Code:
011-72-741-831-0000-000-422-511130).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
David Sprague-Livingston has served the City of Berkeley community as a first responder for over 21 years. Interim Chief Sprague began as a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Berkeley Fire Department in October 2001 and was successively promoted to Paramedic Supervisor, Apparatus Operator, Special Operations Lieutenant, Captain, Training Captain, Assistant Fire Chief (Training & EMS), Deputy Fire Chief – and, most recently, Interim Fire Chief, the position in which he has served since June 2022. As such, Interim Chief Sprague has keen knowledge of – and vast experience with – the workings of the Fire Department; moreover, as a Berkeley resident, he is deeply rooted in the city, has broad familiarity with its geography and topography, and is sensitive to the needs of the community.
The holder of a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Science, Interim Chief Sprague has led the development and implementation of innovative programs in the Fire Department, including the establishment of a new Wildland-Urban Interface Division that is designed to make Berkeley safer from wildfires and the creation of a stand-alone Paramedic classification that graduated its first cohort in March 2023. He implemented a first responder advanced life support program on nine fire companies and was instrumental in helping manage the City’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, standing up early testing centers for essential workers and, subsequently, for the community at large.
Along with managing the Fire Department’s core operations, Interim Chief Sprague has been a champion of leveraging technology to improve services and has had key roles in securing funds for the department through FEMA grants and the “Yes on Measure GG” campaign.
BACKGROUND
The new Fire Chief will lead a department that is organized along nine offices and divisions to deliver the following baseline services:
Office of the Chief: The Office of the Chief plans, organizes, coordinates, and directs the City’s fire prevention, suppression, and emergency medical service programs. This office conducts planning and budgeting, maintains the labor- management relationship, assists City management, and fosters cooperative working relationships with community groups and other agencies.
Operations: The Operations Division’s objective is day-to-day delivery of emergency and non-emergency services to the City of Berkeley. This is accomplished through seven firehouses with seven Type I fire engines, two aerial ladder trucks, four advanced life support (ALS) ambulances, a Medical Specialist Team, a Hazardous Materials Response Team, two water rescue crafts, and a team of rescue swimmers.
Fire Prevention: The Fire Prevention Division’s goal is to decrease the number and severity of all fires in Berkeley through an active code-enforcement program, public education activities, engineering and plans review, and vegetation management. When fires do occur, Fire Prevention staff investigate fire origin and cause and, if needed, pursue prosecution of responsible parties.
Wildland-Urban Interface Division: This division addresses local wildland target hazards and performs community-based action planning to mitigate threats, promote preparedness activities, and ensure resilience. Action Planning provides the foundation and roadmap for the Department’s work to prevent wildfires and limit the spread when they ignite.
Emergency Medical Services: The EMS Division oversees the department’s pre-hospital care and treatment program for the Berkeley community. All of Berkeley’s seven fire engines, two trucks, and four ambulances are staffed with paramedics. The division also oversees emergency medical services for large events.
Office of Emergency Services: Through Berkeley Ready, the Office of Emergency Services coordinates a suite of programs to build disaster resilience throughout the Berkeley community. These programs support personal preparedness, community connections, and government efforts that will help
Berkeley respond to – and recover from – our next earthquake, fire, or other disaster.
Training: The Training Division runs a California State Fire Training (SFT) Accredited Local Academy, where new firefighters attain their SFT Firefighter I and II certifications, while also providing continuous training and development for all members of the department.
Support Services: The Support Services Division coordinates logistical support for emergency and non-emergency operations. This includes design and construction of apparatus; procurement and distribution of tools, equipment, and supplies; and providing subject matter expertise for information technology and radio communications programs.
Administrative and Fiscal Services: The Administrative and Fiscal Services Division supports budget and fiscal policy, payroll, purchasing, administrative systems, record retention compliance, employee training and development, and labor and management relationships. The Division also oversees strategic planning, grant writing, responses to Public Records Act requests, and performance tracking and reporting.

BACKGROUND
Executive Recruitment and Stakeholder Input: The City retained Avery and Associates, an executive search firm, to conduct an extensive search for a new Police Chief. The recruitment process was designed to be a nationwide search, collaborative and inclusive in nature, while considering the needs and priorities of the Berkeley community, the Police Department, and the City Council.
To develop the recruitment brochure, Avery and Associates conducted Several status update discussions with the Hiring Steering Committee, where additional input and feedback were incorporated into the recruitment profile and recruitment process;
A community survey which was designed to elicit helpful information that would shape the recruitment profile and define core competencies to identify, screen, and evaluate candidates. This effort generated a robust response from 273 participants who provided written comments;
In-person interviews with members of the Police Accountability Board (PAB); In-person interviews with the Mayor and each Councilmember; and In-person interviews with members of the City of Berkeley’s executive team.
The City conducted a competitive interview process consisting of two interview panels made up of community members and City of Berkeley representatives, and a third panel made up of members from the Police Accountability Board. Top candidates were recommended for final interviews that were conducted by the City Manager.
Departmental Overview: The new Police Chief for the City of Berkeley Police Department (BPD) will provide leadership for 281 FTEs, including 181 sworn officer positions of all ranks. The department includes the four divisions of Operations, Investigations, Professional Standards, and Support Services.

The Police Department is organized into five divisions to deliver the following baseline services:
Office of the Chief: The Office of the Chief provides overall leadership and administrative oversight for the Police Department. The Office includes the Police Chief, the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the Fiscal Services Unit.

The Detective Bureau conducts follow-up investigations of felony crimes, including homicides, felony assaults, robberies, sexual assaults, domestic violence assaults, assaults on children and minors, elder abuse, burglaries, identity theft, fraud, and forgery, among other offenses. The Traffic and Parking Enforcement Bureau consists of two units: the Traffic Unit’s Motorcycle Officers focus on community safety through enforcement of traffic laws, investigation of serious injury traffic collisions (including fatalities), driving under the influence (DUI) enforcement, and coordinating grant-funded enforcement efforts. The Parking Unit’s Parking Enforcement Officers (PEO) enforce applicable state and local codes which regulate parking in the City of Berkeley, and further provide traffic control and support as needed for other Department Divisions (e.g., through working on planned Special Events, or in assisting with major incident scene management).
The Crime Analysis Unit provides Department personnel with relevant data and analysis skills to inform enforcement and problem-solving efforts. The Crime Scene Unit is responsible for properly identifying, seizing, and documenting forensic crime scene evidence.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 9, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Lisa Warhuus, Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: 2023 Local Housing Trust Fund Application
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and accept funds from the State of California's Local Housing Trust Fund program, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 and to apply such funds to the City's existing funding reservations for St.
Paul Terrace (2024 Ashby Avenue) via the City's Housing Trust Fund program.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The City of Berkeley is eligible to apply for up to $5,000,000 from the State's competitive Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) program. The final award will be decided as part of the competitive application. This funding would be applied to the City's Housing Trust Fund program to fund the City's existing funding reservation for the pipeline project St.
Paul Terrace at 2024 Ashby Avenue, reducing the amount of Measure O and/or other local funds that would be required for the project, and would become available for other housing priority projects if the City receives an award.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Approving the City’s LHTF application supports the Council’s Strategic Plan Priority to create affordable housing and support services for our most vulnerable community members. The LHTF was established by the State as a funding source to finance new affordable housing construction. The program is administered by the State's Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The program is funded by a $4 billion bond approved by voters in 2018.
The City is eligible to apply for between $1 million and $5 million with a one-to-one matching funds requirement. Applications will be scored on several criteria including the source of matching funds (prioritizing sources that do not come from residential projects like the Affordable Housing Mitigation fee), existing local funding commitments, project readiness, and affordability.
Based on eligibility criteria, the City can currently apply to support one project in the City's HTF development pipeline: St. Paul Terrace, located at 2024 Ashby Avenue.
2023 Local Housing Trust Fund Application CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
On December 14, 2021, Council reserved predevelopment Housing Trust Funds for this project and additional Housing Trust Funds were reserved for development funding on June 14, 2022. The City’s funding commitment alongside the project’s unit mix, depth of affordability, and development timeline will allow the application to score competitively.
The City's current local commitments in this project would potentially be partially offset by the LHTF award. Using LHTF funds for St. Paul Terrace would free up Measure O or other local funds for other affordable housing projects in the City’s current pipeline.
BACKGROUND
The LHTF was created by the Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 1). HCD is awarding a total of $57M to the LHTF program for the 2022 funding round.
Program funds awarded must be designated to provide construction loans and/or permanent financing loans to pay for construction or rehabilitation of affordable rental housing projects, emergency shelters, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and affordable homeowner projects.
Program funds may also be used to assist income-eligible first-time homebuyers to purchase homes and to rehabilitate houses owned by income-eligible occupants.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) construction and conversion programs are also eligible.
The City is eligible to apply as it maintains an existing Housing Trust Fund. The City of Berkeley's Housing Trust Fund program was established in 1990 to support affordable housing development and rehabilitation. It is funded by several sources including Affordable Housing Mitigation Fees (AHMF), Condominium Conversion fees and federal HOME funds. Measure O was approved by voters in 2018 to provide $135 million in additional bond funding for affordable housing development. Any LHTF funding the City receives will compliment these funding sources.
In 2020, the City of Berkeley successfully applied for and received LHTF awards for two projects, Blake Apartments (2527 San Pablo Ave.) and Maudelle Miller Shirek Community (2001 Ashby Ave.), with each project receiving $2.5M for a total award of $5M. Both projects began construction in 2022.
The City is required to use the resolution template provided by the state for this council item.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
2023 Local Housing Trust Fund Application CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Measure O bond-supported pipeline projects provide the City with the most competitive application. The LHTF application weighs the percentage of matching funds derived from sources other than local impact fees (such as the AHMF). The Measure O bond provides this advantage. St. Paul Terrace will include units for Extremely Low Income, Very Low Income and Low-Income households. This is another key factor to submitting a competitive application.
Competitive applications must also demonstrate project readiness and a projected construction start. This also provides better security that the funds will be expended in line with the NOFA requirements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Staff do not recommend applying the funds to a first-time home buyer, ADU or JADU program as the application scoring criteria is designed to favor new construction of affordable housing.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Lisa Warhuus, Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Contract No. 31900263 Amendment: Rebuilding Together East Bay-North Contract Continuation Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution:
1. Providing Rebuilding Together East Bay-North’s Safe at Home and Community Facility Improvement programs; General Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 in the amounts of $98,275 for the Safe at Home Program and $24,575 for Community Facility Improvement, for a total amount of $122,850; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into any agreements or amendments to effectuate this action, including an amendment to Contract No. 31900263 with Rebuilding Together East Bay-North, for an amended amount not to exceed $614,250 and extending the contract term to June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Adopting these recommendations will require continued allocations of General Fund, #011, for Rebuilding Together East Bay-North’s (RTEBN) Safe at Home Program ($98,275) and Community Facility Improvement ($24,575) for a total amount of $122,850 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024.
The contract continuation recommendation will maintain funding at the same level as FY2023, funded out of General Fund, #011, for both RTEBN programs. The Safe at Home Program’s budget will be $98,275, and the Community Facility Improvement’s budget will be $24,575.
The funding amounts for the contract are subject to Council adoption of the FY 2024 Budget and the FY 2024 Annual Appropriations Ordinance.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
In response to the FY2020-2023 Community Agency Funding Request for Proposals, RTEBN applied for federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for two programs: Safe at Home Program and Community Facility Improvement.
Rebuilding Together East Bay/North Budget Referral CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
CDBG funds come with significant reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The City Manager did not recommend that RTEBN receive the four-year CDBG grant for either program due to concerns with their adherence to federal reporting requirements and issues with recordkeeping. However, the City recognized the organization’s deep community roots and successful experience in providing free rehabilitation repairs and ADA accessibility improvements to Berkeley homes and community facilities.
At the time, the Housing Advisory Commission (HAC) also recognized that RTEBN’s financial controls were not meeting federal standards. For those reasons, the HAC recommended that the agency receive General Fund at FY 2019 levels to provide RTEBN the opportunity to tighten their fiscal controls and hire an Executive Director so that the agency could become fully compliant and be eligible for future CDBG funding.
In addition, the HAC recommended that an evaluation be conducted to determine whether the organization’s fiscal reporting would become compliant with CDBG reporting requirements.
RTEBN hired a new Executive Director on August 1, 2020 and financial internal controls have been established. RTEBN FY2021 Monitoring resulted in no findings or concerns.
On April 27, 2021, the City Council authorized RTEBN contract be amended for two additional years, FY2022-FY2023.
RTEBN has proved to be an important city partner in providing housing rehabilitation to low-to-moderate income Berkeley homeowners and improving public and nonprofit community facilities that serve primarily low-income clientele.
RTEBN funding is a Strategic Plan Priority Project, advancing our goal to create affordable housing and housing support services for our most vulnerable community members.
BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley Health, Housing, and Community Services (HHCS) Department funds and manages rehabilitation grant programs that provide free health and safety repairs and ADA accessibility improvements to homes and community facilities that serve low-to-moderate income homeowners. The Single-Family Rehabilitation grant programs help low-income residents remain safe in their homes, keep home ownership affordable, preserve Berkeley’s aging housing stock, and provide health, safety, and accessibility improvements to Berkeley’s homes and vital repairs to aging community facilities.
RTEBN is a nonprofit agency that currently receives City funding to operate its Safe at Home Program and Community Facility Improvement Program; both of which provide ADA accessibility improvements and health and safety repairs for low-income homeowners and community facilities serving low-to-moderate income populations.
Rehabilitation work includes bringing housing and buildings up to current electrical and plumbing codes, improving lighting, energy and water efficiency, and making accessibility improvements.
Rebuilding Together East Bay/North Budget Referral CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
RTEBN city-funded programming repairs older homes and community facilities so that they become more energy efficient and reduce the carbon footprint for low-income Berkeley homeowners and community facilities.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
HHCS recognizes that RTEBN is a valuable partner in providing free ADA accessibility improvements and significant health and safety repairs to homes occupied primarily by seniors and individuals with disabilities, and to community facilities that serve low-to- moderate income Berkeley residents.
This program complements the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program’s portfolio by providing RTEBN general fund dollars to more flexibly and quickly respond to emergency rehabilitation repairs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
If the Council decides not to fund RTEBN’s programs for FY2024, it would reduce the number of low-to-moderate income Berkeley homeowners and community facilities receiving no-cost rehabilitation repairs and improvements. Currently, RTEBN is the only agency performing community facilities improvements outside the City’s Public Facility Improvement Project NOFA that has a minimum project funding request of $100,000.
RTEBN requested an increase in program funding for FY24 to reflect the escalating costs of materials, construction and an increase in Safe at Home service outcomes from 13 to 16 projects. City Council can approve a one-year funding extension consistent with their request for a combined 39% increase in funding. If approved, the increase would require an additional $47,550 in General Fund (#011) for FY24 and would increase the Safe and Home and Community Facility Improvement programs to $117,850 and $52,550, respectively.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Lisa Warhuus, Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Contract: Optimas Services, Inc. for Consulting Services Related to Mental Health Medi-Cal Billing and the CalAIM Initiative
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract and any amendments with Optimas Services, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $75,000 for consulting services related to Medi-Cal billing and the CalAIM Initiative.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The consulting services will cost the City up to $75,000. Funds have been identified and budgeted in Funds 158 (Mental Health State Realignment) and 316 (Medi-Cal revenue).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
California is in the process of implementing CalAIM, a broad reaching and ambitious overhaul of the Medi-Cal system. It is likely to eventually affect the way that mental health services are accessed, documented, and paid for, the funding available to community agencies, and availability of services to Berkeley residents who receive Medi-Cal.
Berkeley is one of only three cities in California that is treated equivalent to a county for mental health services for state Realignment and Mental Health Services Act funding.
However, Berkeley is not considered equivalent to a County/independent mental health jurisdiction for the purpose of Medi-Cal or CalAIM. As a result, most CalAIM-related guidance issued by the state and state associations is not directly applicable to the City.
The City must both identify ways to adapt to CalAIM and negotiate changes with Alameda County. Optimas Services, Inc will support staff in working on both aspects of this transition.
The City released an RFP for the services described in March 2023. The City received only one proposal, from Optimas Services, Inc. HHCS has previously contracted successfully with Optimas Services, Inc. for consulting services. At least two other vendors who were contacted related to the RFP declined to respond and recommended working with Optimas Services, Inc., since it is recognized as a leader in the state on this type of work. Therefore, HHCS is recommending this contract with Optimas.
Contract: Optimas Services, Inc. CONSENT CALENDAR
for Consulting Services Related to Mental Health May 9, 2023 Medi-Cal Billing and the CalAIM Initiative
BACKGROUND
CalAIM stands for California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal and is an initiative of the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). CalAIM is designed to advance three goals:
1. Identify and manage member risk and need through whole person care approaches and addressing Social Determinants of Health;
2. Move Medi-Cal to a more consistent and seamless system by reducing complexity and increasing flexibility; and
3. Improve quality outcomes, reduce health disparities, and drive delivery system transformation and innovation through value-based initiatives, modernization of systems and payment reform. (i.e. reduce per-capita costs)
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
No environmental sustainability or climate impacts directly associated with the recommendation of this report were identified.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City needs to work quickly to identify and adapt to ways that mental health services financing will be changed under CalAIM. Because this is a very technical and highly specialized area of expertise, consultant services are needed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The City could opt not to contract for consultant services, but that would limit HHCS’s ability to preserve existing services and identify future opportunities to meet local needs.
Therefore, that approach is not recommended.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to Contract No. 32300108 with Street Level Advisors, LLC increasing the contract by $50,000 for consulting services in a total amount not to exceed $99,500, with a contract end date of June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total not-to-exceed amount of this contract will be $99,500. Resources for the contract will be provided from General Fund, #011 allocated to the Department of Health, Housing, and Community Services’ Housing and Community Services Division (HHCS/HCS), which is currently available in the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City has a contract with Street Level Advisors, LLC to provide project management, community engagement, and technical expertise to maximize the affordable housing potential of the proposed residential housing development of North Berkeley BART and Ashby BART stations. Each project will blend a mix of market rate housing with non- profit, deed restricted affordable housing supported by the City’s Housing Trust Fund (HTF) program. This is a unique situation that requires additional work to ensure a fair contribution to affordable housing by the market rate developer as well as due diligence to maximize the affordable housing at each site. The services provided by Street Level Advisors, LLC include:
Completing an Affordable Housing Framework to outline the affordable housing requirements and components for each project;
Formalizing policy guidelines for the Minimum Developer Contribution to each project’s affordable housing by the market rate developer; Working with City staff to coordinate community engagement;
Contract No. 32300108 Amendment: Street Level Advisors, LLC for CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
Work with Housing staff to develop a more complete process for the development subsidy application (including application materials, affordable housing compliance plan requirements, and review/award process) ;
Supporting the review of pre-development funding applications; and Meeting regularly with City staff, the selected development team, and project partners as needed.
The City’s engagement with the BART development projects is critical to the City’s long- term affordable housing development goals. Delivering a high amount of affordable housing will require significant, long-term planning; including the development of an Affordable Housing Framework, Affordable Housing Compliance Plan, and technical assistance to complete subsidy applications that currently exceed the capacity of City staff and extend beyond the current timeline of the contract. Street Level Advisors, LLC brings a high level of housing affordability and engagement experience and can support and augment the current needs and expertise of City staff to complete these projects.
Supporting the development of affordable housing at North Berkeley and Ashby BART stations is a Strategic Plan Priority Project to advance our goal to create affordable housing and housing support services for our most vulnerable community members.
BACKGROUND
The Berkeley City Council committed $53 million for the development of at least 35% affordable housing at the proposed residential housing development projects at Ashby and North Berkeley BART stations. City staff are working closely with BART and the selected development teams to maximize the affordability at each site and ensure a transparent and fair commitment to affordable housing. Street Level Advisors, LLC is providing critical support to advance a transparent and fair commitment to affordable housing through policy planning and pre-development review.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no environmental impacts related to amending the consultant contract.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The development of affordable housing projects at the North Berkeley and Ashby BART stations will take between 11 to 17 years. These projects are complex and will provide a significant number of affordable housing units for the City. The complexity of project work now required exceeds HHCS/HCS’ current capacity.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Council may choose not to extend the contract. If HHCS is unable to amend and extend the contract with Street Level Advisors, LLC, staff will not be able to adequately support the BART housing projects in the City’s pipeline.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Lisa Warhuus, Director, Health, Housing, and Community Services Subject: Accept California Strengthening Public Health Initiative Funds from the State of California
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to accept grant funds and to execute any resultant revenue agreement, any amendments, and extensions from the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) Strengthening Public Health Initiative in the projected amount of $650,928. This funding is to be utilized from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The City of Berkeley will receive funds in the expected amount of $130,186.00 annually from the State of California to be utilized for FY 2024 through the first half of FY 2028.
This grant is not included in the adopted FY 2024 budget. Funding is subject to appropriation in the FY 2024 – FY 2028 budget(s) in the Operating Grants – Federal Fund (Fund 301). There is no match requirement for this funding.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
On December 4, 2022, CDPH received a Notice of Award (NOA) from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the California Strengthening Public Health Initiative (CASPHI). CDPH has allocated funds to local health jurisdictions to support the strengthening of public health infrastructure. The formula-based allocation is designed to emphasize a focus on equity based on three weighted inputs: 30% population, 35% race/ethnicity, and 35% poverty. These inputs are calculated using hybrid weighting that incorporates the proportion of the total statewide population (at 30%) and the percentage of the total LHJ population (at 70%) for which these inputs apply.
This grant will expand and enhance the public health workforce to prioritize equity by identifying and addressing health disparities that disproportionately impact underserved and higher-risk communities.
Accept California Strengthening Public Health Initiative Funds CONSENT CALENDAR from the State of California MAY 9, 2023

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 9, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Aram Kouyoumdjian, Director, Human Resources Subject: Establish Classification and Salary: Electrical Supervisor and Communications Supervisor
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt two Resolutions:
1. To establish the represented classification of Electrical Supervisor with a monthly salary range of $9,666.8000 - $10,882.1055 effective May 9, 2023.
2. To establish the represented classification of Communications Supervisor with a monthly salary range of $9,666.8000 - $10,882.1055 effective May 9, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total fiscal impact will be $42,006. The cost of the new positions is $466,946 ($233,473 for each), and the Department will be removing the current vacant positions of Senior Electrical Supervisor ($214,242) and Electrician ($210,698), for a total of $424,940, from the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget. The cost will be funded by the General Fund, Equipment Replacement, Equipment Maintenance, Streetlight, State Transportation Tax, and Measure BB (existing Public Works Department budget).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Establishing this classification advances our Strategic Plan Priority goals to be a customer-focused organization that provides excellent, timely, easily-accessible service and information to the community and to attract and retain a talented and diverse City government workforce.
BACKGROUND
The Facilities Division of Public Works is responsible for maintaining, repairing, and installing the City’s electrical and communications assets including, but not limited to, traffic signals, controllers, battery backup systems, street lights, building electrical, generators, Marina electrical, radios, sewer lift stations, and ethernet. It is the only
maintenance division at the Corporation Yard without working supervisors. Having frontline supervisors in these groups will allow for better communication and decision processes with internal and community partners. It also aligns with all other divisions within Public Works, and creates promotional opportunities within the unit.
The new classifications establish working supervisor positions in the Electrical and Communications Units. These positions are separate from the current Lead positions, in that the Lead Positions provide leadership over performing work, but do not have personnel supervisory responsibilities.
As background, the Senior Electrical Supervisor is in Local One and the job class specification does not allow the position to do hands-on electrical work, only serve in a supervisory and administrative role. Public Works recruited for a Senior Electrical Supervisor in early 2022, and the most qualified candidate was an internal candidate who declined the position because of the extreme shortage of journey-level electricians in the division. There were no qualified external candidates. An additional retirement in September 2022 resulted in only 3 electricians for the entire City.
Currently, the Electrical Unit has 11 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions (7 of which are currently vacant) and would like to add the new classification of Electrical Supervisor only. This would be an internal recruitment and the vacancy resulting from the internal promotion would be removed from the budgeted positions. The change is illustrated in the proposed organization chart for the Communications Unit of the Facilities Division of Public Works (Attachments 3 and 4).
Currently, the Communications Unit has 4 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions and would like to add a new position for this classification. The change is illustrated in the proposed organization chart for the Communications Unit of the Facilities Division of Public Works (Attachments 3 and 4).
A salary survey of surrounding agencies demonstrates that the proposed salary range is within market for surrounding agencies including the cities of Oakland, Santa Rosa, Richmond, and San Francisco. However, the final salary range was determined by examining internal alignment between the Lead classification that the Supervisor oversees, and the Facilities Superintendent classification that oversees the Supervisor.
The recommended salary range provides an 11% differential above a Lead classification and a 16% differential below the Facilities Superintendent, which aligns with classification and compensation industry practices. The City’s Budget Office has already approved the fiscal impacts of the new classifications, and is in the process of confirming the new FTEs. There are sufficient funds available in the baseline budgets.
The Personnel Board discussed and voted at the March 6, 2023 meeting to present this classification for City Council approval (Vote: Ayes - Dixon, Karpinski, Lacey, O’Loughlin, Wenk; Noes – None; Abstain – None; Absent – Bartlow, Gilbert).
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
There are no identifiable environmental effects or opportunities associated with the subject of this report.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
It has been the policy of the City to create the necessary classification and salary schedule to accommodate new duties and responsibilities, reflect programmatic changes, maintain competitive salaries, and when applicable, comply with regulatory requirements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
If the new classifications are not approved, the Human Resources and Public Works departments will continue to recruit for a Senior Electrical Supervisor under the current job class specification.

From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Ferris, Director, Parks Recreation & Waterfront Subject: Donation: Memorial Bench at Mortar Rock Park in memory of Charles D.
Sooy
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution accepting a cash donation in the amount of $3,400 for a memorial bench to be placed at Mortar Rock Park in memory of Charles D. Sooy.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The value of a single bench and memorial plaque is $3,400, which covers the purchasing and installation costs performed by the City. The cash donation will be deposited into Parks Tax Fund donation revenue budget code 138-52-542-568-0000- 000-000-481110 and will be appropriated in FY 2023.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The family of Charles D. Sooy wishes to donate a memorial bench in their memory to be placed at the Mortar Rock Park with a cash donation of $3,400. Per the City’s Park Bench Donation Policy, individuals may donate memorial benches to the City’s parks in selected locations, subject to the approval of the Director of the Parks Recreation & Waterfront Department, and pay for all associated costs, subject to Council disclosure and approval of the gift donation. The Director has determined that the proposed donation complies with the City’s Bench Donation Policy as described in Resolution No. 64,148-N.S. and has approved the donation, subject to Council approval.
BACKGROUND
Benches are placed throughout the City in accordance with the City’s Park Bench Donation Policy approved by Council on July 22, 2008 (Resolution No. 64,148-N.S.).
The City’s Open Governance Ordinance (OGO) requires City Council disclosure and approval of any gift to the City in excess of $1,000 (BMC Section 2.06.150, Ord. 7,166- N.S.)
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The City’s vendor for benches, Dumor, Inc., makes its priority to purchase only sustainably-harvested wood derived from stringently-regulated timber source locations, including California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. This policy reduces solid waste volumes in landfills, helps conserve natural resources and limits the

environmental effects resulting from the extraction of virgin materials. The benches therefore comply with the City’s environmentally preferable purchasing policy, specifically section 3.7 Forest Conservation.

CONSENT CALENDAR
May 9, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Ferris, Director, Parks Recreation & Waterfront Subject: Amendments to Contract No. 32100138 with AnchorCM, and Contract No. 32100144 with Park Engineering, Inc. for On-Call Waterfront Project and Construction Management Services
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt two Resolutions authorizing the City Manager to execute amendments to Contract No. 32100138 with AnchorCM, and Contract No. 32100144 with Park Engineering, Inc., for on-call waterfront project and construction management Services by increasing the contract amount by $1,000,000 and duration by twelve months each, from June 30, 2024 through June 30, 2025, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000 each.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding for the consultant contracts is anticipated to come from several sources:
Measure T1 (Fund 511); outside grants (county, regional, state, transportation, etc.); Capital Improvement Funds (Fund 501); and other sources as they become identified.
Funding for these on-call contracts are subject to appropriation in future fiscal years based on the department’s needs as projects are developed.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City manages a list of on-going waterfront capital projects that need to be constructed within the next three years per the requirements of the funding sources comprised of Measure T1, Capital Improvement Funds, and outside grants. Some of the upcoming waterfront construction projects include:
Dock D&E Replacement
Tom Bates Regional Sports Complex – Community Fieldhouse Complex and Sports Field Development
Cesar Chavez Park Restroom (on Spinnaker Way)
K-Dock Restroom Renovation
Projects from the $15 million State Surplus Allocation of 2021 The current not-to-exceed contract amounts for the these two on-call professional consultant firms are projected to be depleted by June 30, 2023. In order to complete
Amendment to Contract No. 32100138 (AnchorCM) CONSENT CALENDAR And Contract No. 32100144 (Park Engineering) May 9, 2023
these projects in a timely manner, staff recommends increasing the length of time on the contracts by 12 months and increasing the contract authority by $1,000,000 each.
BACKGROUND
On October 29, 2020, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for on-call waterfront project and construction management services (Specification No. 21-11424- C). The City received Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from eleven professional consultant firms. After evaluation of the SOQs by the review panel, the City selected two firms: AnchorCM, and Park Engineering, Inc. On March 9, 2021, Council authorized a $1,000,000 contract for on-call waterfront project and construction management services with AnchorCM, and Park Engineering, respectively, for the period April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024 (Resolutions No. 69,744-N.S., and 69,745-N.S.).
Every three to four years, the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Waterfront (PRW) conducts a competitive Request for Qualifications process (RFQ) for On-Call services.
This reduces the need for multiple annual RFQ processes and reduces the time it takes to complete a project, sometimes by up to two years. The next RFQ process will be conducted in FY2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The execution of these contract amendments will help ensure successful completion of waterfront capital improvement projects that will incorporate the sourcing of sustainable and renewable resources used in construction projects, as well as complying with all regulatory agency requirements such as Bay Conservation Development Commission, Fish and Wildlife, Army Corp of Engineers, and Regional Water Control Board. This promotes environmental sustainability and meets the Strategic Plan goal of providing state-of-the-art, well-maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The two on-call project and construction management firms have the required expertise to help ensure successful completion of waterfront capital improvement projects and to support the City’s on-going capital program needs, and complement the personnel and capacity available in the Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Departments. City does not have sufficient resources to provide these services.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Ferris, Director, Parks Recreation & Waterfront Subject: Contract: Elavon, Inc. for online credit card payment processing transaction services for the Recreation Division’s online registration system
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Elavon for online credit card payment processing transaction services for the Recreation Division’s online registration system, for an amount not to exceed $360,000 for the term commencing on or about June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding for this contract is available in the FY 2023 and FY 2024 Camps Fund (Fund 125) budget and General Fund (Fund 011) budget. The remainder is subject to appropriation in future fiscal years in the Camps Fund (Fund 125) and General Fund (Fund 011).
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The City’s Recreation Division uses CivicRec software to manage all online registration for recreation programs, picnic site and court rentals, afterschool programs, swim lessons and lap swim, sports field reservations, and camps.
In September of 2021, the City entered into a contract with Elavon to provide third-party credit card processing. Elavon, a subsidiary of US Bank, is one of the State of California’s two contracted credit card processors via a competitive bid process. Elavon processes payments for 80% of the state’s entities covering approximately 6,000 organizations. Elavon is also a payment gateway that will integrate with CivicRec software.
In June of 2022, the State entered into a new contract1 with Elavon that streamlines how Elavon contracts with local agencies. With the new contract, local agencies can now contract with Elavon as Local Authorized Users, which allows them to use lower pricing negotiated with the State, and provides for continuity of payment gateway services with CivicRec.
Piggybacking on the state contract satisfies the City’s competitive bidding requirements. 1 The State of California contract with Elavon is available at:

Contract: Evalon, Inc.for Recreation Online Registration Credit Card Processing CONSENT CALENDAR May 9, 2023
The new State contract with Elavon keeps intact substantially the same fees for service, with the addition of a $5 per occurrence fee for charge backs. The PRW Department has reviewed its charge back history and confirms that this will not have a significant impact on the City.
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 2018, the City of Berkeley entered into a contract with CivicPlus, Inc. for CivicRec online registration services, requiring integration with a third-party credit card transaction payment processor.
On September 14, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 70,006-N.S. to authorize a contract with Elavon for online credit card processing transaction services for the Recreation Division’s online registration system.
The City of Berkeley Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Department (PRW) provides a wide range of recreation facilities, programs, classes, and events for Berkeley resident and non- resident community members. The City operates two (2) swimming pools, four (4) community centers, eleven (11) sports fields, fifty-two (52) parks, three (3) remote residential camp sites, and one (1) skate park. The City depends on our online recreation registration programs to help community members register for activities for families, adults and youth, including after- school programs, day camps, classes, residential camps, special events, sports, and swimming. In addition, PRW offers tennis court, picnic site, camp and field rentals.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
In addition to time savings for residents, paying online via credit card has substantial environmental benefits compared to the alternative of driving to a site, completing paper-based transactions, paying via cash or check, then processing that payment and driving it to the Treasury and then to the bank.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Piggybacking onto Evalon’s competitive bidding process to execute a contract with the State provides a cost-effective and timely solution and ensures that Berkeley residents can continue to register and pay online for City of Berkeley Recreation programs, camps, classes, and rentals.

From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Scott Ferris, Director, Parks Recreation & Waterfront Subject: Contract No. 32200098 Amendment: ERA Construction, Inc. for the O&K Docks Electrical Upgrade Project
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend Contract No. 32200098 with ERA Construction, Inc. for the O&K Docks Electrical Upgrade Project by adding $138,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,338,000.
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Funding in the amount of $138,000 for this amendment is available in the FY 2023 budget in the CIP Fund (Fund 501). No other funding is required, and no other projects will be delayed due to this expenditure.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The contract with ERA Construction, Inc. for the O&K Docks Electrical Upgrade Project was executed on November 2, 2021 for a total amount not to exceed $1,200,000 (Resolution No. 69,951-N.S.).
During construction, unforeseen conditions required that additional work and equipment be performed and procured, such as changes to National Electrical Code for marine environment electrical ground fault protection, increase in prevailing wage rates due to pandemic related electrical component supply chain delays, and additional equipment mounting surfaces in need of replacement. The City has negotiated these change orders with ERA Construction, Inc. This work was not included in the original contract scope, but is necessary to complete the project and to meet the latest building codes for electrical safety.
BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2021, the O&K Docks Electrical Upgrade Project was advertised for competitive bids. On May 18, 2021, two (2) bids were received. Staff reviewed the bid results and the Contractor’s references, and determined that the bid from ERA Construction, Inc. was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A contract with

2 ERA Construction, Inc. for the O & K Docks Electrical Upgrades Project was executed on November 2, 2021 for a total amount not to exceed $1,200,000 (Resolution No. 69,951-N.S.)
The electrical systems at O & K Docks at the Berkeley Marina have exceeded their lifespan and need replacement. The electrical systems will be upgraded to current building and safety codes and the load rating at O-Dock will be upgraded from 600AMP to 800AMP to accommodate future demands at the Marina.
This project includes the following components: new dock-mount utility pedestals for electrical and potable water connections with central computerized communication systems and integrated lighting, new dock boxes, new conductor wires, new dock- mount power station (transformers), and new onland switchboard enclosures.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The construction contract includes requirements to comply with the City’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy. The work will also comply with the conditions contained in the Bay Conservation Development Commission (BCDC) Permit, and City of Berkeley Building Permit.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City and ERA Construction, Inc. have negotiated a price within the City’s budget to address these unforeseen conditions. This increase to the contract is necessary to complete current change orders. The City does not have the in-house labor or equipment resources to complete these construction activities.
