LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA STAFF REPORT
April 8, 2024
ITEM FOR LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATION
April 2024 Community Library Report
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the Carpinteria Community Library report.
BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Community Library, established by Ordinance 747 on June 14, 2021, and added to the Municipal Code, Chapter 2.38, also established a Library Board of Trustees (section 2.38.030) to meet at least once a month.
DISCUSSION
The April 2024 report includes program and staff updates. In addition to the information included herein, the City Librarian is working with the Library Advisory Commission and City Attorney's Office to revise language in the Carpinteria Municipal Code (CMC) related to submission of reports to the State, and to develop additional language related to inclusion of youth on the Library Advisory Committee (LAC.) These proposed amendments to the CMC are tentatively scheduled for City Council consideration on April 22, 2024.
Updates
Due to the recently increased cost of the United States Citizenship application, several local residents applied for citizenship prior to the increase, and now need to prepare for the exam. Beginning April 13, the Carpinteria Community Library will be hosting a fourweek volunteer-led class working through the 100 possible questions that applicants could be asked. The program volunteer is a trilingual retired attorney who lives in Carpinteria and he will be working in partnership with Eric Castro, the City's outreach LBOT Staff Report

librarian. Classes will be at 10:00 a.m. for four consecutive Saturdays. The program is offered at no-cost to participants.
The Library handed out 1000 solar eclipse glasses to local residents in order to view the partial eclipse the morning of April 8, 2024. The Library provided educational literature on when and how to view the eclipse. The eclipse glasses were paid for by the Friends of the Carpinteria Library out of their Program budget. In addition to serving current library patrons, this event, and other similarly unique events, serve as an excellent way to attract new library users, allowing attendees to see first-hand all the library has to offer, and creating opportunities for card registration.
The upcoming Summer Reading Program is in the planning stages and will be open to readers of all ages. Library Tech Terra Furuta is again creating a unique program for Carpinteria with the theme of insects. The working name of the program is "I Larv-A Good Book." The program will extend for 10 weeks this summer, running from June 10 - August 16. We will have magic shows, story tellers, beekeepers, and more, with lots of science activities and new books for the collection. Also in the works is a book group for teens and a book group for adults. Book recommendations can be made at the Library between now and the end of May. We also plan to continue the very successful "World's Safest Bingo" from the 4
th of July through Labor Day at City Beach at the end
of Linden Ave. All ages will be invited to join Library staff and volunteers to play Bingo on the beach once a week. The Library provides the Bingo cards and prizes are donated by the Friends of the Library book store and local businesses. Last year this event attracted locals and visitors of all ages. World's Safest Bingo is not officially part of the Summer Reading Program, but a fun, intergenerational outreach program for the community and summer visitors.
Donations
The Library applied for a small grant from Art Resources Transfer (A.RT.) for several art books, which were received in March. A.R.T.'s mission is egalitarian access to art and literacy. Carpinteria is an artful community and enlarging the art book collection is a goal for the Library.
It is that time of year when high school students need to complete their community service hours. We have several new high school students volunteering at the library just in time to help us prepare for a large number of upcoming outreach events , as well as to assist with tasks such as shelving and organizing books.
Staff
Eric Castro has just returned from Columbus, OH having attended the Public Library Association (PLA) Conference. The PLA Conference is held every other year and brings together librarians from all over the country to learn from each other and be introduced to new ideas and technology.

County-wide Library Survey
Last Fall, City Council approved a City contribution to a County-wide survey to test potential voter approval of a tax ballot that would support public libraries. The survey of 884 County residents was done by FM3 Research in November 2023. The potential funding source suggested in the survey was either a ¼ cent sales tax or a $60 annual parcel tax, either of which would generate approximately $15 million dollars annually and require a 2/3 approval rating. A majority of voters were in favor of a quarter cent Library sales tax, but were well short of the two-thirds support needed to put a measure on the ballot in November 2024.
Santa Barbara County Housing Element
In order to have a certified Housing Element that is in compliance with State law and regional housing needs, the County of Santa Barbara is continuing its effort to select sites in the unincorporated area to be rezoned for high-density residential land uses. On April 1, 2024, the County Planning Commission reviewed all proposed rezone sites for the South County, which included the three sites adjacent to the Carpinteria City boundary known as Bailard, Van Wingerden 1 and Van Wingerden 2. Our City Community Development staff submitted a letter and spoke at the hearing to recommend that these three sites be removed from the County’s rezone list for numerous reasons, including notable direct conflicts with State and local land use policies. Commissioner Michael Cooney, representing the 1st District, thanked the City for participating in the process. Ultimately, however, he and the other Commissioners unanimously voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors include the two Van Wingerden sites in the final rezone list but exclude the Bailard site. Accordingly, County staff removed Bailard from the recommended rezone list but noted that since it is a Builder’s Remedy application and a pending project, the Bailard project proponents still have the right to move forward with a privately-initiated rezone. The County Board of Supervisors will make the final selection of rezone sites at its hearings on April 30th and May 3rd, with the South County determinations scheduled for the May 3, 2024 hearing.
City staff will continue to monitor and participate in the process, and advocate for the City’s interests.
FEMA Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes an update to the flood insurance rates maps and flood insurance study of the Carpinteria watershed. The last update was in September 2018. In March 2024, FEMA issued preliminary flood insurance rate maps and the accompanying preliminary flood insurance study, respectively, to the City. Flood insurance rates maps show all the flood zones within the city limits and are used for flood management purposes including flood insurance. The Carpinteria Community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes federally backed flood insurance available to property owners.
FEMA will be scheduling a meeting, called Community Coordination and Outreach (CCO) Meeting, with local officials (i.e., City Council and staff) in order to discuss said preliminary documents. The CCO Meeting is not open to the public. FEMA will be scheduling a final meeting, called Flood Risk Open House, which will be open to the Carpinteria community. After the CCO Meeting and Flood Risk Open House, FEMA will schedule a public review period, called 90-Day Appeal and Comment Period. The estimated time frames of conducting said meetings are within this year.
Annual Household Goods and Hazardous Waste Collection Event The Annual Household Goods and Hazardous Waste Collection Event is scheduled for Saturday, April 13, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at City Hall (5775 Carpinteria Ave.) Household goods include furniture, appliances, and electronics as well as yard waste. Household hazardous waste includes pesticides, automotive fluids, light bulbs, medications, and other household chemicals. Liquids are limited to 15 gallons per vehicle. Tires, explosives, and biohazards and radioactive materials will not be accepted. Household goods and hazardous waste must be delivered in the participant’s vehicle car trunk or truck bed, and participants are required to remain in their vehicle during unloading at the event. The event is only for Carpinteria residents. Carpinteria businesses may participate but must make an appointment. For more information of the Annual Household Goods and Hazardous Waste Collection Event, contact Environmental Program Manager Erin Maker at (805) 880-3415 or [email protected].

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
April 8, 2024
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution No. 6306, Approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2024-25 Project List.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6306, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2024-25 Project List.
Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6306, as read by title only.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB 1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs for state highways and local streets and roads.
On November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began depositing various portions of SB 1 funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of the RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible local agencies (i.e. cities and counties) pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h). The Controller apportions RMRA funds on a monthly basis to eligible cities using a process and system similar to that of Highway Users Tax Account apportionments. RMRA funding is continuously apportioned and is not provided on a reimbursement basis.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. To be eligible for RMRA funding, local agencies must provide annual RMRA project reports to the California Transportation Commission (Commission). The Commission first receives the project lists, determines completeness and compliance with basic statutory requirements, and finally approves and submits a statewide list to the Controller for local agencies that are eligible to receive RMRA funding apportionments.
Resolution No. 6306 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2024-25 Project List April 8, 2024
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider adopting Resolution No. 6306, granting approval of the Fiscal Year 2024-25 RMRA project list for submittal to the State.
DISCUSSION
RMRA funds must be used for road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, railroad grade separations, traffic control devices, complete street components including active transportation purposes such as pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects. RMRA funds may also be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state and/or federal funds for projects.
The key requirements for use of RMRA funds are as follows:
• A list of projects that are proposed to be funded with RMRA funds must be submit to the Commission. All projects proposed to receive funding must be adopted by resolution by the local agency's governing body at a regular public meeting.
• For each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, local agencies must submit to the Commission a report that details the expenditure of all RMRA funds.
• A local agency receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds is required to sustain a maintenance of effort (also known as MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its general fund expenditures for street, road, and highway purposes from the city's general fund.
• By July 1, 2024, local agencies receiving RMRA funds must follow guidelines developed by the California Workforce Development Board that address participation and investment in, or partnership with, new or existing preapprenticeship training programs. These programs focus on outreach to women, minority participants, underrepresented subgroups, formerly incarcerated individuals, and local residents to access training and employment opportunities.
Project List Submittal
The project list must include project descriptions including the general location of each project, estimated schedules of each project's completion, and estimated useful life of each project. Local agencies may include project information for future fiscal years, but are expected to update the project list as needed every fiscal year prior to submittal to the Commission. Resolution No. 6306, as shown as Attachment A, shows the City's project list as Exhibit 1. The project list proposes to use the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 RMRA funding allocation for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
Local agencies must submit a project list and supporting documentation by July 1st of each year to the Commission. All materials must be provided electronically using the state's online submittal tool. After reviewing submittals for completeness, the Commission reports to the Controller the jurisdictions that are eligible to receive RMRA funding. Upon receipt of the list from the Commission, the Controller is expected to apportion funds to the cities and counties included on the list. All project lists and Resolution No. 6306 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2024-25 Project List April 8, 2024
support documentation as submitted by the local agencies will be posted on the Commission's website.
Project Expenditure Reporting and Auditing
For each fiscal year in which an apportionment of RMRA funds are received and upon expenditure of funds, local agencies must submit documentation to the Commission detailing the expenditure of those funds and include a description and location of each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the project. The project expenditure reporting process provides an opportunity for local agencies to report on the progress and expenditures associated with multi-year projects that are not yet complete. Local agencies must also submit a Completed and In-Progress Project Report by December 1 of each year to the Commission. The report must also be submitted electronically to the state.
Upon receipt of project expenditure reports, Commission staff reviews submittals to ensure completeness. All completed project expenditure reports as submitted by local agencies will be posted to the Commission's website. The Commission analyzes the completed project expenditure reports and aggregates the project information to provide both statewide and local level summary information. This information is then posted to the Commission's website within a month of the program update being delivered at the Commission's meeting in January of each year and included in the Commission's Annual Report to the Legislature.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The requirements for use of RMRA funds are codified in California Streets and Highways Code Sections 2034, 2036, 2037, and 2038.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The statewide fuel taxes imposed via SB1 are charged on a per gallon basis and therefore proceeds are affected by the volume of fuel sales rather than the price of fuel, which tends to be more volatile. Based on the California Department of Finance statewide revenue projections for Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City is expecting to receive an estimated $336,667 in RMRA funds, which is an increase of 9.9% over the current fiscal year. The budgeting of RMRA expenditures will be a part of the budget process in Fiscal Year 2024-25.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with state law in order for the City to receive RMRA revenue allocations.
OPTIONS
The City Council could choose to:
Resolution No. 6306 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account FY 2024-25 Project List April 8, 2024
Page4
1. Adopt Resolution No. 6306, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2024-25 Project List. (Staff recommendation)
2. Amend the proposed project list as determined appropriate.
3. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate; however, without an adopted resolution and project list, the City would not receive RMRA funds in Fiscal Year 2024-25. This would represent a loss of revenue for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.
Sample Motion: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.
(This motion requires a roll call vote.)
BACKGROUND
In November 2008, voters in Santa Barbara County approved Measure A, which extends for 30 years the one-half percent sales tax for transportation purposes.
Measure A is administered by the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Measure A contains a strategic spending plan that includes regional projects as well as local programs and projects that will address the current and future needs of each community. The strategic spending plan provides funding to local agencies for street maintenance, transportation improvements, pedestrian accessibility and connectivity, safe routes to school, and bicycle and transit facilities.
The City currently receives an annual, population-based formula funding allocation of approximately $760,000 per year. This allocation partially funds the Street Maintenance Program. Other funding for the Street Maintenance Program comes from Gas Tax, Right-of-Way Assessment Fund, Measure X Fund, and grants. The City is also eligible to receive up to $1 million for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements per the Measure A Investment Plan. Circulation improvements must involve transportation safety or Second Amendment to Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments April 8, 2024
operational improvements. In accordance with the requirements of the Measure A Investment Plan, a Cooperative Agreement must be executed between SBCAG and the local agency for any expenditure of the Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.
In January 2020, the City's Public Facility Site Acquisition/Development Committee reviewed a candidate project list derived from (1) the City's Capital Improvement Program, (2) unique capital improvement needs associated with the Highway 101 improvement projects, and (3) that could qualify for the Measure Funding. The Committee selected the Linden Avenue Improvements Project for recommendation of approval and funding to the City Council.
On May 13, 2020, the SBCAG South Coast Subregional Planning Committee recommended for the approval of $326,430. On May 21, 2020, The SBCAG Board approved the Cooperative Agreement. On May 26, 2020, the City Council authorized the Mayor to sign the Cooperative Agreement with SBCAG. For reference, a copy of the Cooperative Agreement is shown as Attachment A. On November 13, 2023, the City Council authorized the Mayor to sign the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with SBCAG for extending the performance period of the project. For reference, a copy of the First Amendment is shown as Attachment B.
The purpose of this agenda matter is to authorize the Mayor to sign the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with SBCAG in order to receive additional allocation of Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds and another time extension for the Linden Avenue Improvements Project - Carpinteria Avenue to Linden Avenue Overcrossing.
DISCUSSION
The Linden Avenue Improvements Project is located on Linden Avenue between Carpinteria Avenue and the Linden Avenue Overcrossing. The general scope of work includes sidewalks, curbs, gutters, parkways, street trees, driveway approaches, and bike lanes. The purpose of this project is to complete street and right-of-way improvements in support of public safety, including, in particular, bicycle and pedestrian safety, and to improve the appearance of a section of the Linden Avenue corridor that serves as a gateway to the Downtown 'T' commercial district.
The Cooperative Agreement defines the project scope of work, roles and responsibilities of the City and SBCAG, and funding plan. The project is in the Revised Measure A FiveYear Local Program of Projects with funds programmed in Fiscal Year 2023-24, as adopted by the City Council on May 22, 2023 (Resolution No. 6243). The proposed Second Amendment, as shown as Attachment C, would allocate an additional $466,026 of Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds for a total amount of $792,456 and extend the performance period of the project, again. On March 21, 2024, the SBCAG Board approved the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement.
Second Amendment to Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments April 8, 2024
Due to the pandemic, from 2020 to 2021 the project schedule experienced delay. The revised project schedule estimates the following milestones:
Advertise for Bids
Award Construction Contract
Construction
July 2024
September 2024
mid-October 2024 through January 2025
The project is programmed in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program Budget, but the total project cost is now estimated to be $790,000. The original estimate was $326,430 at the time of the original Cooperative Agreement. While the City will initially pay for project expenses, SBCAG will fully reimburse the City up to the project cost estimate in accordance with the Cooperative Agreement, as amended. The current balance of the Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds is $1,000,000, and expenditure from the project will result in an ending balance of $207,544. The City will have the opportunity to use any remaining balance for any project costs exceeding the estimate and/or other qualifying circulation improvement projects.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with the following objective of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:
Circulation Element
Objective C-7: Build demand for alternative transportation use by increasing ease, effectiveness, and social acceptability, and through foresighted planning.
The recommendation is also consistent with the SBCAG Regional Active Transportation Plan.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Approval of the amended Agreement will allow for the City to receive funding for qualifying circulation improvement projects. Authorization to incur expenses related to the Linden Avenue Improvements Project will occur at a later date with City Council's awarding of the construction contract.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is in accordance with the Cooperative Agreement. The recommendation is also in accordance the requirements of the Measure A Investment Plan.
Second Amendment to Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments April 8, 2024
OPTIONS
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for Carpinteria Circulation Improvements Funds.
2. The City Council could choose not to approve the recommendation and direct staff as appropriate. Not approving the amended Agreement would delay the Linden Avenue Improvements Project and/or jeopardize its completion.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
There are no principal parties expected at the meeting.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
April 8, 2024
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Receive an update on the status of private parklets and provide direction to Staff on permitting for permanent private parklets.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the status of private parklets; receive public comment; and provide direction to Staff on permitting for permanent private parklets.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file an update on the status of private parklets and provide direction to Staff concerning permitting for permanent private parklets.
BACKGROUND
Purpose of this Item
The purpose of this item is to update the Council on the upcoming expiration of the COVID-19 Temporary Outdoor Business Permit Program, and the related expiration of the temporary allowances for parklets on private property ("private parklets"). Early on during the pandemic, numerous businesses and community organizations (churches, etc.) utilized portions of their respective parking lots, landscape areas, and other outdoor spaces located on private property to relocate essential services to the outdoors in support of social distancing practices.
As the most critical phase of the pandemic passed, many of these temporary private parklets were phased out and essential business functions returned indoors. A handful of permitted businesses have continued to make use of their respective private parklets through the Council's ongoing extensions of the Temporary Outdoor Business Permit Program. Some of these businesses have expressed an interest in exploring the possibility of transitioning their temporary private parklets into an ongoing permanent part of their business operations.
This staff report is intended to provide information to interested businesses and the Council on the tools currently available to businesses wishing to explore options for Private Parklets Update

allowing outdoor spaces initially created under the Temporary Outdoor Business Permit Program to become permanently approved and permitted amenities. Staff believes existing permitting processes and practices are sufficient to serve this limited need and that crafting a new ordinance specifically for private parklets is not warranted at this time.
Temporary Private Park/et Program
Beginning in May 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 744, enacting a temporary outdoor business permit program to allow businesses to operate in the City right-of-way and other privatelyowned outdoor spaces to encourage social distancing and economic activity.
Temporary private parklets were to be facilitated through a special streamlined Temporary Use Permit process established specifically for COVID-19 response.
Through a series of subsequent Ordinances, the Council has extended the initial temporary permit program due to the ongoing threats posed by the pandemic and in the interest of continuing to support local businesses recovering from challenges posed by the pandemic. Most recently, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 775 in December 2023, which extended the temporary permit program through June 30, 2024.
Initially, a number of businesses (e.g., restaurants; tasting rooms) and organizations (e.g., churches) applied for and obtained a permit for a temporary private parklet, however, most of these have since been removed as businesses returned to their normal operations. Approximately six businesses currently maintain a private parklet under the provisions of the temporary permit program. All of these businesses utilize their respective private parklets to provide (additional) outdoor patron space. A list of the businesses currently utilizing a temporary private parklet is included as Attachment A.
DISCUSSION
The COVID-19 Temporary Outdoor Business Permit Program is currently set to expire on June 30, 2024; no further extensions to the program are anticipated. Upon expiration, all existing private parklets allowed under the temporary permit program would become non-compliant, and would require removal and restoration of the affected areas to their previous original permitted use (e.g., required onsite parking spaces, landscape areas, drive aisles, etc.).
Similar to the program developed for parklets located in the City right-of-way, several businesses have expressed interest in having the ability to keep some form of a private parklet beyond the upcoming expiration of the temporary permit program as a permanent ongoing part of their respective business operations. Staff previously brought this matter to the Council's attention as a related component to discussions regarding the development of a permanent public parklet program. At the time, the Council elected not to take up the matter for further discussion, but did ask Staff to return to a future meeting to provide options for the Council's consideration.

April 8, 2024
Staff has reached out via email to the businesses that currently have a temporary private parklet, or that have previously expressed interest in establishing new or additional permanent outdoor patron areas, to alert them to this discussion item and provide them with an opportunity to provide their input to the Council. Following this Council discussion, staff intends to follow up and provide more explicit instructions concerning the required permitting process, as described later in this report, to the interested businesses.
Existing Private Parklets
Of the remaining temporary private parklets still in use, all provide additional usable outdoor patron area, and occupy areas previously designated for onsite parking, landscaping and/or drive aisles. The location, visibility, and construction of these temporary parklets varies considerably. In some cases, such as Rincon Brewery or the (former) Good Plow restaurant, significant effort and expense was put into creating semi-permanent outdoor areas that visually relate to and seamlessly tie into existing permitted improvements. In other situations, the parklets were created with materials or techniques reflective of what was (originally) intended for a temporary short-term purpose. Likewise, not all temporary parklets meet applicable safety and/or accessibility requirements that would be required of permanent facilities.
If businesses elect to pursue the conversion of temporary private parklets into permanent outdoor patron areas, such areas must be constructed of appropriately durable and permanent materials, and of a design and construction that visually and functionally relates to the established business or premises. Permanent outdoor patron areas must also meet all current safety and accessibility standards, including, but not limited to, any requirements of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC") for the serving of alcohol on outdoor patios and similar areas. 1 Development Plan Amendment
Most commercial properties in the City and their related businesses operate under a Development Plan approved and administered by the City. The Development Plan provides a comprehensive description of the permitted improvements (e.g., buildings, parking areas, landscape areas, etc.) and approved uses (e.g., restaurant, office, retail, etc.). Development Plans are approved by the Planning Commission (or City Council on appeal) and are subject to various project-specific conditions of approval that stipulate rules for how the improvements are to completed and/or how the business is to operate.
In some cases, the original Development Plan can date back years or even decades but can still cover newer businesses, so long as the overall type or intensity of use has not significantly changed. Typically, when there is a significant change in use or intensity 1 The California Legislature passed legislation Assembly Bill ("AB") 1217 (2023) and AB 61 (2021) to sustain outdoor dining areas across California by extending regulatory flexibility on key issue areas, including additional ABC flexibility. This flexibility is currently set to expire on July 1, 2026.

April 8, 2024
(e.g., retail use changes over to restaurant, etc.), or there is a significant change in the permitted improvements (e.g., large building addition; new construction), an updated Development Plan is required.
The City also has the ability to review and approve amendments to an existing approved Development Plan, wherein there has been a change in the approved improvements or uses that merits City review and documentation but falls short of requiring an entirely new Development Plan. Development Plan Amendments can be either minor in scope, which are subject to review and approval by the Community Development Director; or major in scope, which require review and approval by the Planning Commission or City Council. The Community Development Director may exercise discretion in determining whether a proposed change qualifies as "minor" or "major." Typically, to qualify for a minor "Director-level" Amendment, the contemplated change must not deviate from any required zoning standards (e.g., required parking, landscape coverage, etc.) and not result in a significant change in the appearance or intensity of use from what was originally approved.
Having reviewed the remaining private parklets that are in use, Staff believes that most, if not all, of the businesses that wish to pursue permitting of private parklet areas as permanent outdoor patron areas, could likely be handled via the minor "Director-level" Development Plan Amendment process. Applicants would be required to apply for a Development Plan Amendment and provide the necessary supporting materials (e.g., project application, property owner authorization, plans/specifications, deposit fees, etc.). Planning Staff would then review the submitted materials against the relevant project-specific conditions of approval and applicable zoning standards, and if all requirements can be met, prepare the necessary documentation for the Director to approve the minor amendment. As part of the review of each application, the proposed plans for the permanent outdoor patron area would be referred to the City's Architectural Review Board ("ARB") for their input and recommendation. In the event such an application did not qualify for a minor "Director-level" Amendment, it could be referred back to the Planning Commission for a more thorough review through the typical discretionary public hearing process.
Following approval of a Development Plan Amendment, the applicant would be required to apply for and obtain a Building Permit to complete any necessary upgrades or improvements, and to ensure all applicable safety and accessibility standards are met.
A completed and signed-off Building Permit would document that all improvements have been satisfactorily completed and the new outdoor patron area is authorized for permanent use.
In anticipation of this type of approach to handling private parklets, and in an effort to reduce applicant cost and time, Staff is considering ways to further streamline the permitting and review process. For example, providing clear expectations up front for what would be required of a parklet to be approved will assist applicants in providing a complete and acceptable application submittal. Likewise, Staff intends to craft master G:\CC Staff Reports\2024 0408\Final\Private Parklets\FINAL CC SR Private Parklets 2024-04-08(27958998.1 ).docx Private Parklets Update
April 8, 2024
templates for the ARB staff report, approval letters, and conditions of approval, that can serve as a starting point for each individual Development Plan Amendment application.
Finally, acknowledging that the June 30
th expiration for temporary private parklets is
less than three months away and that it will take time for applicants to prepare and submit their respective applications, and for Staff to complete the necessary reviews and approvals, Staff proposes a grace period beyond the June 30 th expiration date for
those businesses that submit a complete application prior to the cutoff and that make a good faith effort to work towards approval of a Development Plan Amendment.
Businesses that fail to submit a complete application prior to the June 30 th expiration
date, or that fail to demonstrate a good faith effort towards permit approval following submittal of a complete application, will be required to remove their temporary private parklet and can pursue approvals for any subsequent permanent outdoor patron areas on their own timeline (while still utilizing the streamlined permitting process described above).
Assembly Bill ("AB") 2097 - Parking Exemption Near Transit In the past, required parking has often served as the single most significant impediment to accommodating intensified land uses, whether it is related to new building square footage (i.e., a building addition), or an intensified land use (e.g., change of use, expanded seating area, etc.). In the case of most restaurants, cafes, breweries, and similar food- or beverage-serving establishments, required parking has historically been calculated as the cumulative sum of a building square footage-based parking rate (e.g., 1 space per 500 square feet of building area) and an additional seating area parking rate (e.g., 1 space per 50 square feet of seating area). In the downtown area, where most properties do not provide all of their required parking onsite (and are often actively discouraged from doing so), the only alternate means of resolving increased parking requirements tied to an intensification of use has been through seeking discretionary approval of a parking modification or reduction, or offsetting required parking through payment of an in-lieu fee (currently at a rate of approximately $25,800 per space).
Accordingly, it has often been cost prohibitive, particularly for commercial tenants who do not own their building, to pursue efforts to expand their respective businesses.
However, a recent Assembly Bill passed by the State Legislature in 2022 and that took effect in January 2023 changes that situation for most types of new development in areas served by certain types of qualifying transit. AB 2097, Parking Exemption Near Transit, prohibits a local public agency from requiring minimum parking standards on most development projects (including most types of commercial development) within one-half mile of defined "public transit." In the City of Carpinteria, the only transit stop that currently qualifies under this law is the City's train platform located off Linden Avenue at Fifth Street. The radius map included as Attachment B to this report demonstrates how the one-half mile radius from the train platform covers the entire downtown core of the City along with much of the surrounding neighborhoods roughly G:\CC Staff Reports\2024 0408\Final\Private Parklets\FINAL CC SR Private Parklets 2024-04-08(27958998.1).docx Private Parklets Update
April 8, 2024
bounded by U.S. Highway 101 to the north, Carpinteria Creek to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the south, and Santa Monica Creek to the west.
Application of this law by businesses seeking to expand their footprint or further intensify their use, and that might have historically triggered a requirement for additional parking, would no longer face this hurdle. Applicants would still be required to apply for and obtain permit approvals from the City for new or intensified development, including the conversion of temporary private parklets to permanent outdoor patron areas that are the subject of this report, however, the City would be barred from requiring any additional parking for these expanded areas. The City may instead require the applicant to provide or invest in other types of alternative transportation to help offset single occupancy vehicle usage and impacts to remaining parking resources. (See Attachment C.) Such efforts could include, for example, provision of additional bicycle parking facilities for employees and patrons (e.g., onsite bicycle racks or secure bicycle storage area), subsidizing or supporting transit use by employees through the provision of transit passes or increased employee benefits, offering incentive-based programs for employees or patrons to encourage and reward use of alternative transportation , support for multi-modal and micro-mobility transportation options, and similar programs.
While application to date of AB 2097 within the City of Carpinteria remains very limited, it is expected to become more widespread as properties redevelop and/or businesses seek to expand. In the case of the subject private parklets, use of the exemption from minimum parking standards granted by AB 2097 would allow for these areas to be converted to permanent additional outdoor patron areas without triggering additional parking.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
There are a number of policies within the City's General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan that support efforts to enhance business activity in the City's commercial areas while ensuring such intensified uses contribute to and preserve the City's unique "small beach town" charm. These policies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Policy LU-3g: Provide for a range of business activities that bring vitality, revenue, and employment to the City of Carpinteria, and are compatible with its small town character, and
Policy CDS2-b: To enhance the pedestrian character of the downtown's street, plazas, paseos, parks and lanes; and
Implementation Policy 26: The provision of small spaces with benches, fountains, public art and other special elements that encourage people to gather and linger in public should be encouraged, particularly where they support businesses, such as sidewalk cafes.

April 8, 2024
Outdoor dining and gathering areas gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and remain an amenity that has proven successful for businesses and popular with patrons. Such spaces, when designed and executed appropriately, can also help to foster a more lively, attractive, and vital downtown environment. Efforts to support the transition of temporary private parklets, that would otherwise be phased out, into new permanent expanded outdoor patron areas supports the intent of the above policies.
Further, by accommodating the review and permitting of such amenities through the City's existing permitting practices, including review by the ARB, Staff has the available tools and processes in place to ensure such improvements contribute to the desired success and preservation of the City's downtown environment.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2023-24 General Fund Budget. Should the Council direct Staff to proceed with processing requests for private parklets in the manner described by staff, full cost recovery would be achieved from project applicants through payment of permit deposits and fees. In the event the Council directs staff to explore options for a new private parklet ordinance, the work effort would be assigned to Long Range Planning staff as part of their General Fund/Measure X-funded responsibilities and made part of a future work plan.
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and assisted in the preparation of this report.
Staff anticipates the City Attorney's office will also assist in the preparation of the standard conditions template to be used for the permitting of expanded or new permanent outdoor patron areas, including any required conditions related to the application of AB 2097.

From: Dr. Kate Huckelbridge, Executive Director, California Coastal Commission Date: June 30, 2023
RE: Implementation of Assembly Bill 2097 (Friedman) Relating to Minimum Parking Requirements Near Major Transit Stops
I. Introduction
Effective January 1, 2023, Assembly Bill (AB.) 2097 (Friedman, Ch. 459, Stats. 2022) prohibits public agencies, including the Coastal Commission and local governments, from imposing or enforcing minimum automobile parking requirements on most development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. This legislation may help reduce vehicle miles traveled and encourage denser infill development consistent with some of the goals of the Coastal Act. However, the law will require the Commission and local governments to implement the Coastal Act's mandate to maximize access to the coast and to coastal recreation areas in a new way. Historically, the Commission and local governments implementing their Local Coastal Programs (LCPs) have often imposed minimum parking requirements to ensure that development is consistent with the public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act and certified LCPs. These public access and recreation policies continue to apply, but imposition of such minimum parking requirements is no longer allowed where AB 2097 applies.
This memorandum discusses how the Commission and local governments can impose other types of conditions in these areas to ensure projects and LCPs are consistent with the public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act and certified LCPs. Still, AB 2097 is likely to cause public access impacts in the coastal zone that will be difficult to fully mitigate. It will also likely have impacts far outside the transit-rich areas it directly applies to, as inland residents and visitors may have a harder time traveling to access the coast.
The public access and recreation impacts of new development that does not provide public parking can be most effectively addressed through regional and local planning, rather than at a project level review. Local governments will need to plan for and develop alternative ways for the public to access the coast from across their jurisdictions, such as through investing in public transit and developing programs that facilitate public access by, for example, creating free shuttles to the coast and additional public parking facilities. On a project level, special conditions that facilitate public transit, alternative transportation, and additional public access opportunities, such as requiring bicycle parking or in-lieu fees, may mitigate the public access and recreation impacts of development. This memorandum includes examples of LCP policies and project conditions that the Commission and local governments may impose to facilitate public access and recreation in a manner consistent with this new law.
II. Overview of AB 2097 Requirements
AB 2097 prohibits public agencies from imposing or enforcing any minimum automobile parking requirements on residential, commercial, and other development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(a)). a. Who
The new law applies to public agencies, which are defined to include "the state or any state agency, board, or commission, any city, county, city and county, including charter cities, or special district, or any agency, board, or commission of the city, county, city and county, special district, joint powers authority, or other political subdivision" (Gov. Code § 65863.2(e)(4)). Accordingly, AB 2097 prohibits both local governments and the Coastal Commission from imposing or enforcing minimum parking requirements on development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. b. What
AB 2097 prohibits public agencies from imposing or enforcing any minimum automobile parking requirements on residential, commercial, and other development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(a)). However, public agencies can require minimum parking standards in any of the following cases:
• Projects where any portion is designated for use as a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast inn, or other transient lodging, unless a portion of a housing development project is designated for use as a certain kind of residential hotel (Gov. Code § 65863.2(e)(6)).
• Commercial projects where (a) the prohibition on imposing minimum parking requirements would conflict with an existing contractual agreement of the public agency that was executed before January 1, 2023, and (b) all of the required commercial parking is shared with the public (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(h)(1 )). 1 • When a local government makes written findings that not imposing or enforcing minimum automobile parking requirements on a development would have a substantially negative impact on: (1) its ability to meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA") allocation for low- and very low income households; (2) its ability to meet certain special housing needs for the elderly or persons with disabilities; or (3) existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the housing development project (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(b)). 2 This exception to the
prohibition does not apply to housing development projects that: (1) dedicate a minimum of 20 percent of the total number of housing units to very low, low-, or moderate-income households, students, the elderly, or persons with disabilities; (2) contain less than 20 housing units; or (3) are subject to parking reductions based on the provisions of any other applicable law (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(c)). 1 This prohibition on the imposition of parking requirements also does not apply to an existing contractual agreement that is amended after January 1, 2023, provided that the amendments do not increase commercial parking requirements (Gov. Code § 65863.2(h)(1 )). 2 This exception only applies to a city or county's imposition or enforcement of minimum parking requirements (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(b)).
2 In addition, public agencies must continue to impose the following existing parking requirements:
• Event centers must provide parking for employees and other workers when required by local ordinance (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(d)).
• New multifamily residential and nonresidential development is required to provide electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment parking spaces and parking spaces that are accessible to persons with disabilities that would have otherwise been required (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(f)).
Although public agencies may not impose minimum parking requirements on development projects in designated areas, all Coastal Act and LCP provisions other than those requiring minimum automobile parking continue to apply in these areas, including provisions relating to protecting, enhancing, and maximizing public access and recreation opportunities.
Accordingly, the Commission and local governments will need to ensure that development projects within one-half mile of major transit stops comply with these Coastal Act and LCP provisions in ways other than imposing minimum parking requirements. The new law also allows developers to voluntarily provide parking, and public agencies may approve projects with such voluntarily provided parking. If a project voluntarily provides parking, AB 2097 allows a public agency to require any of the following: (1) the parking include spaces for car share vehicles, (2) spaces be shared with the public, or (3) parking owners charge for parking (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(9)). A public agency may not, however, require that voluntarily provided parking be provided to residents of a housing development free of charge (Id.). The law does not contain a similar restriction prohibiting an agency from requiring that voluntary parking be provided to the public free of charge. Voluntarily provided parking can be considered when analyzing whether a proposed project is consistent with the Coastal Act or LCP.
c. Where
AB 2097 only applies to projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop (Gov.
Code § 65863.2(a), (e)(5)). A "major transit stop" is a site containing: (1) an existing rail or bus rapid transit station;
3 (2) a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service; (3) the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods; or (4) a major transit stop identified in the applicable regional transportation plan (Gov. Code § 65863.2(e)(5), Pub. Res. Code§§ 21155(b), 21064.3). A project is considered within one-half mile of an AB 2097 major transit stop if all parcels within the project have no more than 25 percent of their area farther than one-half mile from the stop and if not more than 10 percent of the residential units or 100 units, whichever is less, in the project are farther than one-half mile from the stop (Pub. Res. Code § 21155(b)). 3 A "bus rapid transit station" means a clearly defined bus station served by mass transit service that is provided by a public agency or by a public-private partnership that includes all of the following features: (1) full-time dedicated bus lanes or operation in a separate right-of-way dedicated for public transportation with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods; (2) transit signal priority; (3) all-door boarding; (4) fare collection system that promotes efficiency; and (5) defined stations (Pub. Resources Code, § 21060.2).
3 The new law did not create (or require creation of) maps or datasets indicating where major transit stops are located. Without a centralized dataset identifying the location of major transit stops, these stops will likely need to be identified on a case-by-case basis.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP) applicants and/or local governments should submit information clearly demonstrating whether the project site or proposed LCP amendment area is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Some local governments or associations of governments may have maps that depict major transit stops or other helpful transit information in the area. The below map viewers may be a helpful place to start when evaluating projects and LCP amendments in certain areas:
• San Diego: The City of San Diego maintains a map viewer that identifies transit priority areas (TPAs), which includes major transit stops in the City. 4 The San Diego
Association of Governments (SAN DAG) also maintains a map viewer with various transit information, such as rapid bus routes and rail lines, and other transit information beyond an AB 2097 "major transit stop."
• Los Angeles: The Southern California Association of Governments maintains a map viewer for the Los Angeles area that identifies "high quality transit areas", which includes "major transit stops" (as defined above). 5 In addition, the City of Los
Angeles maintains a map viewer that identifies whether an address is eligible for AB 2097.
• San Francisco Bay Region: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) map viewer for the San Francisco Bay Region identifies TPAs, which includes major transit stops in this area.
6 Other metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) may also have information relevant to the location of major transit stops.
7 d. When
AB 2097 became effective on January 1, 2023.
e. Why
AB 2097 states that mandatory parking minimums can increase the cost of housing, limit the number of available units, lead to an oversupply of parking spaces, and increase greenhouse gas emissions (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(i)). As a result, the legislation states that 4 This map viewer may be broader than the area where AB 2097 currently applies, as the viewer also identifies AB 2097 major transit stops that are planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program or applicable regional transportation plan.
5 This map viewer also includes "high quality transit areas" which could potentially be broader than an AB 2097 "major transit stop," as these areas also include corridors with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours. In addition, this map viewer is based on data from 2016 and may not reflect existing levels of transit service. 6 This map viewer may be slightly broader than the area where AB 2097 applies as the viewer (like the San Diego viewer) also identifies AB 2097 major transit stops that are planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program or applicable regional transportation plan. 7 The contact information for MPOs and RTPAs is available on Caltrans' website here. 4 it must be interpreted in favor of the prohibition against imposing mandatory parking minimums (Id.).
Historically, land use agencies have required new development proposals to provide offstreet parking spots for residents or users to avoid increased parking congestion and its associated impacts. The Coastal Commission and many local governments implementing their LCPs have imposed minimum parking requirements to ensure that new development is consistent with the policies of the Coastal Act and certified LCPs, including those relating to public access and recreation. In many areas, parking requirements have contributed to urban sprawl. Conflicts between the prioritization of pedestrian, bicycle, and other forms of transportation and parking requirements can occur in built-out areas where space is limited. AB 2097 could potentially lead to denser infill development and a reduction in vehicle miles traveled consistent with the goals of some Coastal Act policies such as Section 30250, which generally requires new development to be concentrated within, contiguous with, or near existing developed areas able to accommodate it, and Section 30253(d), which requires new development to minimize vehicle miles traveled. The statute's intent to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing vehicle dependency is also consistent with Coastal Act Section 30253(c), which requires new development to meet air pollution control requirements imposed by the California Air Resources Board; Section 30604(h), which states that the Commission may consider environmental justice and the equitable distribution of environmental benefits statewide in permit actions; and Section 30270, which requires the Commission to take into account the effects of sea level rise, which is a direct consequence of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, in its coastal resource planning and permitting activities.
However, AB 2097 is also likely to cause public access and recreation impacts in the coastal zone that will be difficult to fully mitigate. As discussed further below, the Coastal Act requires the Commission and local governments to protect access to our coastal shorelines and beaches. To a large extent, this access still relies on cars and parking along the coast. This is particularly the case for coastal visitors and inland residents that must travel far to reach the coast and cannot afford to live in coastal areas. AB 2097 only applies in areas with existing public transit, but it does not require that this transit be able to connect visitors and inland residents traveling from elsewhere to the coast. In the coastal zone, high costs of housing and historical exclusionary public policies and private practices such as refusing to finance home purchases for households of color and imposing deed restrictions that restricted sales of homes to certain groups based on race, creed, or color have excluded households of color and lower income households from owning and renting property on the coast. 8 As a result, applying AB 2097 in the coastal zone may raise environmental justice concerns as lower income households and households of color are less likely than wealthy, white households to live on the coast, and thus may have more difficulty accessing the coast without adequate public parking. 8 Coastal Commission Report on the Historical Roots of Housing Inequity and Impacts on Coastal Zone Demographic Patterns (2022). See also the Coastal Commission's Adopted Environmental Justice Policy.
5 Ill. Application in the Coastal Zone
Although AB 2097 prohibits the Commission and local governments from imposing minimum parking requirements on most types of development projects within one-half mile of major transit stops, the Coastal Act and certified LCPs otherwise continue to apply in these areas. Local governments should update their LCPs to conform with AB 2097 and require alternative kinds of mitigation where a project's lack of parking contributes to adverse impacts to coastal resources.
a. Public Access and Recreation Provisions of the Coastal Act A primary goal of the Coastal Act is to maximize public access to the coast, as reflected in Sections 30001.5(c), 30210, and the other public access and recreation sections of the Coastal Act. Section 30210 of the Coastal Act requires that maximum public access and recreation opportunities to the coast be provided, consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse. The Commission has found that the direction of Section 30210 "to maximize access represents a different threshold than to simply provide or protect such access, and is fundamentally different from other like provisions in this respect: it is not enough to simply provide access to and along the coast, and not enough to simply protect access; rather such access must also be maximized."
9 In furtherance of this goal, Section
30500 of the Coastal Act requires that each LCP contain a specific public access component to assure that maximum public access to the coast and public recreation areas is provided.
A number of Coastal Act policies are relevant when analyzing the impacts that new development may have on public parking near the coast. New development in the coastal zone cannot interfere with existing public access, including in terms of parking (Section 30211); must generally provide public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast (Section 30212); and must be located within or near existing developed areas able to accommodate it or in other areas with adequate public services where it will not have significant adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources, including public access and recreation (Section 30250). Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities, which could include public visitor parking areas, are required to be protected, encouraged, and, where feasible, provided (Section 30213).
Oceanfront lands suitable for recreational use, which could include visitor parking areas, are required to be protected for recreational use and development, and upland areas necessary to support coastal recreational uses are required to be reserved for such uses, where feasible (Sections 30221 and 30223, respectively). Further, Coastal Act Section 30252 provides that the location and amount of new development should maintain and enhance public access to the coast by, among other means, providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute means of serving the development with public transportation. Section 30212.5 of the Coastal Act requires that wherever appropriate and feasible, public facilities, including parking areas or facilities, must be distributed throughout an area to mitigate against the impacts, social and otherwise, of overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area. Section 30214 allows for public access policies to consider the unique characteristics of new development, and to allow for public access 9 City of Carpinteria Transportation Improvements LCP Amendment (No. LCP-4-CPN-15-0018-1, 2015).
6 to be tailored in an appropriate manner considering that context. Finally, through Section 30604(h), the Commission may consider the equitable distribution of environmental benefits throughout the state, including parking to access the coast.
New development near the coast can negatively impact public access and recreation by increasing the demand for automobile parking without providing sufficient additional parking to offset this increase in demand, thus leading to fewer parking spaces available to the public for coastal access. This is particularly important for visitors and inland residents who do not live near the shoreline, for whom a trip to the beach often means using a car to transport people, pets, food, drink, and beach equipment to shoreline destinations, particularly when there is a dearth of transit alternatives to reach the beach. To ensure consistency with the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act outlined above, the Commission has imposed minimum automobile parking requirements on proposed development such as requiring a minimum number of onsite parking spaces be provided or maintained by new residential development so that residents do not reduce the availability of on-street parking for visitors accessing the coast and nearby beaches. 10 The
Commission has also imposed minimum automobile parking requirements in modifications to LCP policies for consistency with the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act. For example, in recent LCP amendments proposed to update policies consistent with new state Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws, the Commission has typically imposed minimum onsite parking requirements for new ADUs located near prime visitor destinations with constrained on-street public visitor parking. 11 In addition, the
Commission often certifies proposed LCP provisions that require that new development meet minimum automobile parking requirements.
b. Alternatives to Imposing Minimum Automobile Parking Requirements Local governments and the Commission may no longer apply LCP policies or project conditions that require minimum automobile parking in areas designated by AB 2097. But the new law does not otherwise change the Commission's or local governments' authority to implement the Coastal Act and LCP provisions, including as it relates to visitor public parking needs. The Commission and local governments must find other ways to ensure that new development complies with the Coastal Act and LCPs. In this way, the Coastal Act and AB 2097 can be harmonized to the maximum extent feasible so that both laws apply in the coastal zone.
When analyzing projects and LCP updates, local governments should consider the impacts that proposed development located within one-half mile of a major transit stop may have on public access and recreation, and, for LCPs, what strategies can adequately mitigate the impacts of development on access and recreation consistent with the Coastal Act. Some questions to explore may include:
• How much public parking is currently available and what is the current demand for public parking?
10 See, for example, Chen Gallagher (App. No. 5-21-0522, 2021); Reed (App. No. 5-20-0656, 2021); and Lloyd (App. No. 5-21-0756, 2022).
11 See, for example, Santa Cruz ADU LCP Amendment (No. LCP-3-STC-20-0015-1-Part A, 2021) and San Luis Obispo County ADU LCP Amendment (No. LCP-3-SLO-20-0059-2, 2022). 7 • How might the proposed development or LCP policies impact supply and demand for public parking?
• Whether alternative means of transportation to the coast that support public access and recreation are available?
• Whether a public access improvement program exists or can be established? • Where coastal visitors are coming from, how visitors get to the coast, and what demographics visitors represent?
• Whether there is a disproportionate impact on environmental justice communities 12 or people with disabilities in accessing the coast, and whether there are measures available to ensure access is equitable?
This information may help frame what alternatives (e.g., public transit, car share, bikes, free shuttles) are available to maximize public access and recreational opportunities, and which Coastal Act and LCP provisions may be relevant for the analysis. Where this information does not exist or is difficult to obtain, monitoring and adaptive management LCP policies may be helpful to develop this information. 13 Planning. Like the Commission, local governments can no longer impose minimum automobile parking requirements on most types of development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. As a result, local governments must consider alternative ways of implementing the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act and LCPs, such as through LCP policies that encourage the use of public transit and alternative forms of transportation in areas near major transit stops. LCPs could, for example, plan for and encourage:
• Increased public transit to visitor destination areas, such as increased transit service areas or routes, shorter intervals of service, additional bus stops, and parkand-ride lots and shuttles • Free or low cost shuttles connected to public park-and-ride facilities that provide appropriate design (e.g., to meet the needs of beach visitors and people with disabilities) and adequate intervals and duration of service to public access and recreational areas
• Public access in-lieu/development fee programs (example provided below) intended to improve, protect, and enhance public access and recreation opportunities for people of all abilities and incomes
12 In this memo, the terms "underserved communities" and "environmental justice communities" are used interchangeably with the term "communities of concern." All these terms refer to low-income communities, communities of color, and other populations with higher exposure and/or sensitivity to adverse project impacts due to historical marginalization, discriminatory land use practices, and/or less capacity to mitigate adverse impacts.
13 See, for example, the City of Del Mar Parking Adjustments LCP Update (No. LCP-6-DMR-21- 0081-2, 2023), which reduced parking requirements for certain commercial uses in several areas throughout City. Commission modifications authorized the change for a limited term of eight years and required creation of an ongoing Parking Management Program that must include an inventory of existing public parking areas, analyze parking occupancy and demand, and provide recommendations to address how parking programs and services should be adjusted to maximize access to the shoreline.
8 • Complete streets designs and the integration of multi-modal transportation improvements, such as bike lanes and bike parking
• Development of additional public parking facilities and opportunities near coastal access and recreation areas
• Affordable Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure • Elimination and/or prohibition of preferential parking programs for residents • Development of low-income parking pass programs
• Regulations on public parking that encourage visitor-serving uses, such as time limits in some cases
• Shared parking arrangements that encourage or require private parking areas to be made available for public parking during times when these parking areas are underutilized
• Employee transit subsidy programs, such as reimbursement for use of alternative transportation, carpooling, or park-and-ride services 14 • Transportation demand management programs, such as providing transit passes to workers, students, or residents
• Adequate bicycle parking and lockers
• Micromobility programs, such as bicycle and electric scooter rentals • Meaningful and accessible outreach and public education on public access opportunities and alternative transportation programs 15 • Other means of providing public access to and along the coast One way for local governments to implement the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act and LCPs without imposing or enforcing minimum parking requirements is to establish in-lieu fee programs that mitigate the negative impacts of development on public access and recreation. Such fees can be used to improve a variety of public access and recreation opportunities, including by providing additional parking opportunities where appropriate. For example, the City of Laguna Beach has an in-lieu parking certificates program that allows developers to pay a fee in-lieu of providing public parking, which is used to create additional public parking and to improve public transit.16 In addition to this program, the City has actively encouraged multi-modal transportation, provides a free trolley service, and runs a pilot project that allows for a reduction in parking requirements when a proposed use provides for and promotes the use of alternative modes of transportation such as free shuttles, ride-sharing, carpools, public transit, bicycles and walking. As another example, the City of Hermosa Beach uses development fees to improve public access and recreation opportunities, including public parking. The Commission has conditioned several projects from Hermosa Beach that were unable to provide adequate onsite parking spaces on payment of a fee to the City to offset public access impacts of the projects.
17 Local governments should analyze whether in-lieu fees that fund public access programs that use their funds solely to pay for automobile parking 14 Though see Cal. Health & Safety Code § 40717 .9, which limits public agencies' ability to impose employee trip reduction programs.
15 See, for example, Orange County Parks (5-07-370-A2). 16 See LCP Amendment No. LCP-5-LGB-19-0139-1.
17 See, for example, Franco, 5-20-0597; 1429 Hermosa, LLC, 5-13-0717; B&J Capital Group Investments, 5-20-0181.
9 improvements are consistent with AB 2097, and whether public access programs that fund other public access improvements in addition to public parking could more effectively maximize public access and recreation.
Some examples of certified LCP policies that encourage alternative forms of transportation are listed below.
o City of Encinitas Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity LCP Update (No.
LCP-6-ENC-19-0158-3, 2020): Required new development to add bicycle and pedestrian interconnection opportunities between adjacent land uses through dedication of an easement. Application of this requirement is based on several factors relating to feasibility, such as topography, adjacent land uses, existing physical barriers, and access to existing trails and public access points.
o City of San Diego Complete Communities LCP Update (No. LCP-6-SAN21-0033-1 ): Added Complete Communities program that included an optional Housing Solutions program to increase housing production by removing regulatory barriers and granting development incentives to projects that incorporate affordable housing and neighborhood-serving infrastructure amenities within TPAs; and a mandatory Mobility Choices requirement for development to fund or provide amenities and active transportation infrastructure designed to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), or pay an inlieu fee. o City of Morro Bay Comprehensive LCP Update (No. LCP-3-MRB-21- 0047-1, 2021 ): Added LUP policies emphasizing public transit, active transportation, and pedestrian and bicycle amenities particularly in waterfront and downtown areas.
o City of Half Moon Bay Downtown Revitalization LCP Update (No. LCP-2- HMB-20-0019-1, 2020): Reduced parking requirements in certain mixed-use and residential zoning districts in the City, as supported by parking demand studies, and implemented strategies to promote a more pedestrian-oriented active downtown area.
Unlike individual projects, LCPs can help provide a vision and plan for alternative means of access and transportation throughout a local jurisdiction. Policies and programs that may reduce the public access impacts resulting from scarce public parking in coastal areas, such as new or increased public transit and multimodal options, are often better addressed in LCPs rather than on a project-by-project basis. Accordingly, local governments should update their LCPs to protect and maximize public access and recreation in ways other than minimum automobile parking requirements in areas where AB 2097 applies.
Permitting. In some cases, a project applicant may voluntarily propose adequate parking, alternative modes of transportation, or other project components that fulfill the requirements of the Coastal Act and LCPs. In other cases, the Commission and local governments will need to impose special conditions other than minimum parking requirements that allow the project to be consistent with the Coastal Act and LCP public 10 access and recreation provisions.
18 Some examples of conditions other than minimum
parking requirements that the Commission has imposed to make a project consistent with the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act or relevant LCPs include:
• Public transit and alternative transportation conditions. The Coastal Act emphasizes the importance of public transit and alternative means of transportation in facilitating public access and reducing VMT. Coastal Act Section 30252 provides that:
the location and amount of new development should maintain and enhance public access to the coast by (1) facilitating the provision or extension of transit service, (2) providing commercial facilities within or adjoining residential development or in other areas that will minimize the use of coastal access roads, (3) providing nonautomobile circulation within the development, (4) providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute means of serving the development with public transportation, (5) assuring the potential for public transit for high intensity uses such as high-rise office buildings, and by (6) assuring that the recreational needs of new residents will not overload nearby coastal recreation areas by correlating the amount of development with local park acquisition and development plans with the provision of onsite recreational facilities to serve the new development.
In addition, Section 30253 requires new development to minimize energy consumption and VMT and to meet air pollution control requirements, which can include the facilitation of public and alternative means of transportation. AB 2097's prohibition on imposing minimum parking requirements only applies in areas within one-half mile of major transit stops. Accordingly, projects in these areas are more likely to be able to mitigate their public access and recreation impacts through public and alternative transportation measures than projects in areas with more limited public transit. It may not be feasible, however, to condition single-family residences and other types of smaller residential development on the provision of public or alternative transportation measures that must be coordinated across a large area to work effectively (e.g., bus, bike, or rail infrastructure), unless a local government or other entity has a program that can manage and coordinate the required public and alternative transportation measures. Some examples of CDPs that mitigated for public access impacts through support or development of public and alternative transportation options-such as transportation demand management programs, bicycle parking and infrastructure, support for public transit, and reduced rates for car-free hotel rooms-are below.
o McKinley Family Trust (App. No. 5-20-0598, 2021): Conversion of existing retail space to restaurant located approximately 200 feet from beach; 18 In some circumstances, a local government may still impose minimum automobile parking requirements when it makes written findings that not imposing or enforcing minimum automobile parking requirements on a development project would have a substantially negative impact on existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of a housing development project or for the other reasons specified in AB 2097 (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(b)). 11 mitigated impacts on public access by applicant's proposal to contribute $3,000 annually to the City of San Clemente to fund multi-modal access (a portion of which will be used to fund two new metered public parking spaces in the vicinity), and through a Transportation Demand Management Program (TDMP) that included reimbursing all employees for 100% of the public transportation fares incurred to travel to and from work and an employee education program informing employees of public transit options, ridesharing, and bicycle infrastructure nearby with the aim of reducing the need for on-site parking at the project site.
o Franco (App. No. 5-20-0597, 2021): Conversion of existing apartment complex with no on-site parking into a new hotel with two parking spaces located less than 350 feet from the beach; mitigated impacts to public access by applicant's proposal and special conditions requiring a TDMP that included 12 bicycles provided on-site to hotel guests at no cost, a new 16- bicycle rack within the City of Hermosa Beach's right of way, free transit passes to hotel employees, rooms provided to guests who arrive at the hotel without an automobile at a 10% discount, and two rooms always designated as "car-free," in addition to a $28,900 in-lieu fee paid to the City for each required parking space not provided on-site ..
o Street Retail West 111 LP (App. No. 5-20-0522, 2021 ): Conversion of existing retail structure with no onsite parking into a recreational fitness center located 0.2 miles from the beach and near high quality transit options; mitigated impacts to public access through proposed TDMP that included reimbursing all employees 100% of public transportation fares, provision of lockers and showers to employees and customers who choose alternative forms of transportation to and from the premise, and inclusion of an information center at the front desk to publicize the TDMP, and City of Santa Monica-required in-lieu fee for bicycle parking.
o Ocean Avenue. LLC (App. No. 5-21-0139): Redevelopment of an existing hotel with 103 on-site parking spaces into a new mixed-use development with 428 on-site parking spaces; mitigated impacts to traffic congestion and parking in visitor-servinq downtown area with a new wayfaring plan and included special conditions requiring a TDMP that included monetary incentives and free transit passes for carpooling employees; discounts for residents that do not require a parking spaces, 342 bicycle parking spaces, and 43 electrical vehicle charging spaces. The TDMP included surveys to determine whether vehicle miles traveled had been successfully lowered. • Public Access and Recreation Fees. In appropriate cases, a public access and recreation fee could be imposed as mitigation for development that will negatively impact public access and recreation, including by increasing demand for public parking near coastal access areas. A fee that is paid into an established public access and recreation program may be able to mitigate part or all of these impacts.
Such fees might be held and managed by a state agency (e.g., Coastal Conservancy) or local government, nonprofit, or other third party. The Commission has conditioned projects on payment of a fee to support public access and recreation improvements in combination with other mitigation, such as transportation demand management programs, in several cases where the 12 development would negatively impact public parking near coastal access areas. 19 If
a mitigation fee is imposed, findings for project approval would need to demonstrate that the required mitigation will be related to (i.e., has a nexus with) the project's impacts and is proportional to that impact. Findings should also describe how the Coastal Act or LCP requires maximization of public access and recreation opportunities even though minimum parking requirements may not be imposed, and how the mitigation will address the project's impacts without minimum parking requirements. Local governments should work with their legal counsel to ensure that any such findings and public access and recreation programs appropriately harmonize the Coastal Act, LCPs, and AB 2097.
• EV Infrastructure and Accessible Parking Spaces. The Commission has approved many projects that provide accessible parking and has required EV infrastructure in projects, such as large commercial projects, with public access and recreation impacts.
20 AB 2097 does not prohibit public agencies from imposing requirements for EV charging equipment parking spaces or for parking spaces that are accessible to persons with disabilities on new multifamily residential and nonresidential development if those requirements would have otherwise applied to the development (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(f)). Accordingly, the Commission and local governments may continue to require EV charging infrastructure and accessible parking on multifamily residential and nonresidential development located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. However, the number of spots limited to EV parking should be considered in the context of the overall parking availability at a location to ensure that adequate parking remains for all as the state transitions to more affordable and accessible EVs for all Californians. • Voluntarily Proposed Parking. When a project applicant proposes to include parking as part of the project, the Commission and local governments can require that the provided parking be shared with the public and include spaces for car share vehicles (Gov. Code§ 65863.2(9)). Voluntarily proposed parking can be considered when assessing a project's consistency with the Coastal Act or LCP. • Monitoring and Adaptive Management. To protect public access and recreation to and along the coast in the absence of applying minimum parking standards, local governments should monitor and evaluate the impact to public access and recreation in and near areas where such parking standards no longer apply, including the availability and effectiveness of alternative transportation, public parking supply and overcrowding, impact of any timing or other parking restrictions, and the changes in visitation to the area (e.g., numbers of visitors, local versus regional, statewide or international visitorship). The above measurements should include demographics (such as income, race, ethnicity) to understand access impacts to environmental justice communities. In addition, potential public access and recreation issues should be documented in findings, and conditions could 19 See, for example, Franco, 5-20-0597; 1429 Hermosa, LLC, 5-13-0717; B&J Capital Group Investments, 5-20-0181.
20 See, for example, Panattoni Development Co. (Appeal No. A-5-LOB-20-0006, 2021 }, and California Department of Parks and Recreation, Trippet Ranch (App. No. 4-21-068, 2022). 13 require monitoring and potential adaptive management for the proposed development, as appropriate.
• Enforcing Existing Public Parking Regulations. Local governments should prioritize monitoring public parking availability and enforcing public parking regulations, such as time limits, particularly in parking constrained coastal areas.
Other special conditions could include, for example, public parking time limits, real estate disclosures identifying and acknowledging existing parking limitations, or programs for resident notification of parking limitations.
In sum, local governments must ensure that new development located in areas where AB 2097 applies mitigates its public access and recreation impacts by imposing alternative project conditions where necessary, in conjunction with updated LCP policies that facilitate alternative means or programs for the public to access and recreate at the coast.
IV. Conclusion
The Commission and local governments should harmonize the public access and recreation provisions of the Coastal Act and LCPs with the requirements of AB 2097 to the maximum extent feasible. AB 2097 is a potential step towards reducing our car-centric manner of accessing the coast. However, AB 2097 is likely to have impacts on visitors and inland residents that will be difficult to fully mitigate. Implementation in the coastal zone requires careful analysis and an increased emphasis on alternative ways of providing access to the coast. The Commission and local governments can require and plan for alternatives to imposing minimum automobile parking requirements for development located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, such as LCP amendments encouraging public transit and multi-modal transportation and CDP conditions requiring alternative and public transit amenities. Local governments are encouraged to work closely with Coastal Commission staff to develop strategies that can mitigate for the increased demand for public parking in these areas to the maximum extent feasible and in an equitable manner. 14 City of Carpinteria

A map of the street locations is included with this staff report as Attachment A. The general scope of work includes pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian facility upgrades, and drainage improvements. The project will use the full depth reclamation method, and this method effectively results in a new street with a service life of at least 20 years. This is also a sustainable pavement rehabilitation method that incorporates technologies and material recycling techniques by which lower greenhouse gas emissions in the reduction of trucks and reduce the cost of pavement maintenance.
The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the City Council to award a construction contract to Toro Enterprises, Inc.; authorize the City Manager to execute both agreements for construction management and inspection and acceptance/testing services; and approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $1,176,250 to the Capital Improvements Fund of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program Budget for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
DISCUSSION
On February 20, 2024, only one bid was received from the following bidder:
A Construction Contract Award for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project April 8, 2024
Total Base Bid
Toro Enter rises, Inc. Oxnard, CA $5,416,217
The award of the construction contract is based on the lowest total base bid which excludes additive bid items. Staff determined the lowest total base bid by Toro Enterprises, Inc. is responsive to the bidding requirements. See Attachment B for copy of bid. Staff also determined Toro Enterprises, Inc. to be a responsible bidder based on reference checks and past contracts with the City. The Construction Contract is shown as Attachment C. The Contract Time to complete the project is 120 working days from the date of the City's Notice to Proceed.
The Agreement with Filippin Engineering is for construction management and inspection services. The details of the scope of work are shown in the proposed Agreement as a part of Attachment D. The Agreement with Cotton Shires and Associates, Inc. is for acceptance/materials testing services. The details of the scope of work are shown in the proposed Agreement as a part of Attachment E.
The overall construction cost is a summation of the apparent low bid (i.e. total base bid) and construction contingency. The following table summarizes the proposed revenue and expense:
Revenue
Capital Improvement Projects Fund $1,590,565
(includes Measure A, Measure X, Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Proqrarn, and Development Impact Fees)
Additional appropriation $4,359,167
Total $5,949,732
Expense
Construction Contract (Total Base Bid) $5,416,217
Construction Contract Continqencv (2.5%) $135,405
Construction Management and Inspection $311,320
Acceptance/Materials Testinq Services $86,790
Total $5,949,732
Total (rounded up to the nearest thousand) $5,950,000
Staff proposes to transfer funds from the following capital projects for the additional appropriation of $3,113,750:
A Construction Contract Award for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project April 8, 2024
Page4
Finance Project Name MeasureX RMRA Measure A
Code
PW-20-001 City Hall Solar Generation and Storage $39,500 Project
PW-23-001 Carpinteria Community Library $59,500
Improvements Project
ST-23-001 2023 Pavement Maintenance and $1,501,200 $233,600 $765,200 Rehabilitation Project
TR-21-003 Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk $514,750 Safety Improvements Project
Total $2,114,950 $233,600 $765,200
The engineer's estimate is approximately $3,470,160, which is based on recent historical cost data of similar scope of work and size plus time adjustment and cost contingency multipliers. Staff conducted a bid analysis and found the apparent low bid is approximately 56-percent over the cost of the engineer's estimate. Ideally, an engineer's estimate is within plus or minus 10-percent of the low bid 1 . However,
engineer's estimates only reflect the anticipated cost of a project in order to provide an initial prediction of the financial obligations to be incurred by the project owner (e.g. City) and to provide an effective review and comparison of the bids received. Having only received a single bid is typically indicative of inadequate competition and is indeterminate as to whether it generally corroborates with current construction cost trends since there are no other bids to compare to. Competition is considered excellent when there are six or more bids within 20-percent of the low bid. 1 When only a single
bid is received, the competition is considered adequate when the low bid does not exceed the engineer's estimate. Staff does theorize factors that may have contributed to a lack of competition such as local construction contractors' backlog and/or capacity.
Staff still recommends for the construction contract to be awarded to the apparent low bidder in order to not delay the City's critical pavement infrastructure. Further, based on current trends in construction and recent experience with other capital projects, staff believes readvertising the project may result in receipt of a higher bid.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The recommendation may be found consistent with the following objectives and policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan:
Circulation Element
Objective C-3: Provide a balanced transportation network with consistent designations and standards for roadways that will provide for the safe and efficient movement of goods and people through the community.
1 Guidelines on Preparing Engineer's Estimate, Bid Reviews and Evaluation. Federal Highway Administration. 20 January 2004
A Construction Contract Award for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project April 8, 2024
Policies:
C-3g. Establish programs that monitor and effectuate improvements on roadways as the need arises.
C-3j. Develop a prioritized Capital Improvement Program directed at roadway improvements.
Pursuant to the Capital Improvement Plan Study Session on March 19, 2024, the recommendation is also consistent with the City Council's prioritization of pavement projects as critical infrastructure.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
$840,250 increase to FY 2023-24 Capital Improvements Fund (Expense Account No. 301-403-5780). RMRA funding of $336,000 will be included as part of the FY 2024-25 Budget.
Additionally, there would be a $500,000 transfer from Measure X Fund (Expense Account Number 104-999-5911 ), $240,250 transfer from General Reserve Fund (Expense Account No. 102-999-5911), and $100,000 transfer from Measure A Fund (Expense Account No. 215-99-5911) to Capital Improvement Fund (Revenue Account No's. 301-999-4918, 301-999-4916 and 301-999-4906). The remaining balances in the associated funds would be: Measure X Fund ($364,035), General Reserve Fund ($563,689), and Measure A Fund ($278,925).
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The recommendation is consistent with the formal bidding procedures of the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act (Public Contract Code Section 22030 et al.).
OPTIONS
1. Award a Construction Contract to Toro Enterprises in the Total Base Bid amount of $5,416,217; authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Filippin Engineering to provide construction management and inspection services in an amount not-to-exceed $311,320; authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Cotton Shires and Associates, Inc. to provide acceptance/materials testing services in an amount not-to-exceed $86,790; and approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $840,250 to the Capital Improvements Fund of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program Budget for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate. However, the project would be delayed.

CONTRACT
PROJECT: 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
AMOUNT OF CONTRACT: $5,416,217.00
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8th day of April, 2024, by and between the City of Carpinteria (hereinafter referred to as "Owner") and Toro Enterprises, hereinafter referred to as "Contractor".
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES, COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW, THE PARTIES AGREE as follows:
ARTICLE I: GENERAL
Contractor agrees to perform and complete in a workmanlike manner all work required under the Bidding Schedule of Owner's Contract Documents entitled 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project and in accordance with its Specifications and Drawings, to furnish at its own expense all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and services necessary therefor, except such materials, equipment and services as may be stipulated in the Specifications to be furnished by Owner, and to do everything required by the Agreement and the Contract Documents, for the sum of Five Million Four Hundred Sixteen Thousand Two Hundred Seventeen Dollars and Zero Cents ($5,416,217.00).
ARTICLE II: PAYMENT
For furnishing all said labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services, furnishing and removing all plant, temporary structures, tools, and equipment, and doing everything required by this Agreement, the said Specifications, Drawings and other Contract Documents; for all loss and damages arising out of the nature of the work,, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise during the prosecution of the work until its acceptance by said Owner, and for all risks of every description connected with the work; for all expenses resulting from the suspension or discontinuance of work, except as are expressly stipulated in the Contract Documents to be borne by Owner and for completing the work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents Owner will pay, and said Contractor shall receive, in full compensation therefor, the above named price.
ARTICLE III: CONSIDERATION
Contractor agrees to perform the work according to the terms of this Agreement for the abovementioned price and owner agrees to pay Contractor at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions stipulated in the Contract Documents. Owner and Contractor, for themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, do hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants contained in this Agreement and in the Contract Document.
ARTICLE IV: WAGES
The general prevailing rates of per diem wages and general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work in the locality in which the work is to be performed have been determined by the Owner. Said general prevailing rates of per diem wages are incorporated and made a part of this Agreement. The Contractor agrees that it, or any subcontractor under it, will pay not less than the foregoing specified prevailing rates of wages to all workmen employed in the execution of the Contract.
Any contractor who is awarded a public works project and intends to use a craft or classification not shown on the general prevailing wage determinations, may be required to pay the wage rate of that craft or classification most closely related to it as shown in the general determinations effective at the time of the call for bids.
ARTICLE V: HOURS AND WORKING CONDITIONS
The Owner is a public entity in the State of California and is subject to the provisions of the Government Code and the Labor Code of the State. It is stipulated and agreed that all provisions of law applicable to public contracts are a part of this contract to the same extent as though set forth this Agreement and will be complied with by the Contractor.
ARTICLE VI: CONTRA CT TIMES
The Work shall be completed within 120 working days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed.
ARTICLE VII: LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
Owner and the Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that the Owner will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the time specified in Article 2, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents. The parties also recognize that the amount of Owner's actual damages in the event of such delays are impractical and infeasible to determine at this time. Accordingly, the Owner and the Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), the Contractor shall pay the Owner $700 for each day that expires after the time specified in Article 2, plus any extensions, until actual completion of the Work. The payment of liquidated damages pursuant to this Article is for the limited purpose of compensating Owner for the costs and expenses associated with the delay in receiving the benefits and use of the Work and not for other damages that may be incurred by the Owner. The Contractor's responsibility for or payment of liquidated damages shall not in any way preclude the Owner from pursuing any of its other remedies under the Contract Documents or Laws for the Contractor's failure to complete the Work in a timely manner or otherwise satisfy its obligations as required by the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE VIII: ASSIGNMENT
No assignment by a party to this Agreement of any rights under or interests in the Contract Documents will be binding on another party without the written consent of the party sought to be bound; and specifically but without limitation monies that may become due and monies that are due may not be assigned without such consent (except to the extent that the effect of this restriction may be limited by law), and unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility under the Contract Documents.
Owner and Contractor each binds itself, its successors, assigns and legal representatives to the other party, its successors, assigns and legal representatives in respect of all covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE IX: COMPONENTS OF AGREEMENT
The Notice Inviting Bids, Information for Bidders, Contractor's Bid, Bid Certificates, Bidding Schedule (2 sheets), Bid Bond or other acceptable guaranty, Bidder's Statement Regarding Insurance coverage, List of Subcontractors, Bidders License and Experience Statement, Noncollusion Affidavit, Agreement Certificates, Material and Labor bond, Performance Bond, Certificate of Compliance, Worker's Compensation Certificate, Notice of Award, Acknowledgment of Notice of Award, Insurance Endorsements, Sole Proprietor Statement, Escrow Agreement for Security Deposits in Lieu of Retention, Notice to Proceed, Closeout Agreement and Release of Claims, Insurance Specifications for Construction Contracts, Labor Provisions, General Provision Modifications (incorporating Provisions, Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (latest edition), as modified), Special Provisions, Statutory Provisions, Specifications, Drawings and all Addenda issued by the Owner with respect to the foregoing prior to the opening of bids, are hereby incorporated in and made part of this Agreement.

SUBJECT: 2022 PAVEMENT REHABILIATION PROJECT CONSULTING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROPOSAL Dear Mr. Ilasin,
Filippin Engineering (FE) is pleased to submit our proposal to provide CONSULTING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE 2022 PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT to the City of Carpinteria. FE is a well-established local certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) providing project management, civil engineering, and construction management services to our clients. Filippin Engineering exclusively serves public agencies within Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties and many of our staff have been providing these services to public agencies along the central coast for over 35 years. As a result, the Filippin Engineering team is uniquely qualified to address all technical challenges and City impacts that may be encountered.
Understanding of Project Challenges - Filippin Engineering has reviewed the construction documents and is committed to working with the City to implement a solutions-based approach. We have the experience and expertise to key in on the items that will get the best value before construction, implement proactive public outreach during construction, and use our highly customized approach in working with the City team to come up with economical solutions. We have successfully implemented a very similar project in the City also involving concrete improvements and FDR, so we are able to predict many of the project-specific challenges. • • • Depth of Construction Management and Inspection Staff: FE currently has 26 full-time employees in addition to on-call associates ••• and FE's Goleta and Ventura offices are less than 30 minutes from the project site. Our projects are 95% Construction Management Inspection and Testing projects, making our company one of the largest dedicated construction management departments on the Central Coast. The staff we have chosen is backed by a depth of resources to help with any issues that inevitably arise during construction. This is particularly important on this assignment given that inspection and construction management needs may vary over the 6-month duration, and the proposed team will be available to ramp up or down depending on the level of service needed while also maintaining consistency with core staffing.
Sole Local Agency Focus: The FE team works solely for local public agencies, so we have an in-depth understanding of agency needs. Nothing takes precedence over our local agency clients. We understand the realities of balancing tight local budgets, coordinating with agency staff, representing the City to our community, and meeting crucial schedule goals to secure funding.
Ou1- staff understands these constraints, can function in multiple roles, and develop solutions to fit the needs of the project. Our staffs focus on the City of Carpinteria's needs is especially important for large pavement resurfacing projects.
FE is committed to providing the City of Carpinteria with the highest quality service available, and we look forward to working with you and the City's staff on this important assignment. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please call me at (805) 448- 5619.
Sincerely,
FILIPPIN ENGINEERING

PROPOSED SERVICES
ORGANIZATION OF SERVICES
TASK 1: CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
Construction Management Team - This core team is led by the Principal-in-Charge, and supported by the Construction Manage1· (CM), Construction Inspector and Office Engineer. Our core team is well versed in a variety of roles because the size of our company facilitates all of us knowing how to do everything (much like a small agency), which we believe provides a benefit to the agency in that we can be agile in responding to project needs as they arise. All communications will go through our CM to make sure that everything is handled appropriately, follows the contract, and is logged accordingly and all parties are on the same page.
Construction Administration Procedures - On all projects administered by Filippin Engineering, we use the Caltrans LAPM as a basis for construction document control, modifying as necessary for any agency or funding-specific requirements. We will use the construction management procedures for reviewing and processing request for clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents; shop drawings, samples, and other submittals; contract schedule adjustments; change order proposals; written proposals for substitutions; payment applications; and the maintenance of logs. As the Agency's representative at the construction site, Filippin Engineering shall be the party to whom all such information shall be submitted.
Review of RFls, Shop Drawings, and Other Submittals - Review the Contractors' RFls, shop drawings, samples, and other submittals to determine the anticipated effect on compliance with the Project requirements, Forward to the Design Professional as appropriate for review of the request for clarification or interpretation, shop drawing, sample, or other submittals, along with FE's comments. FE's comments shall not relate to design considerations, but rather to matters of constructability, cost, sequencing, scheduling and time of construction, clarity, and consistency.
Change Order Preparation, Negotiation and Processing - Establish, implement, and coordinate systems for processing all contract change orders. Negotiate all contract change orders with the Contractor. Prepare contract change order document for execution by Contractor and Agency.
Progress Payments - FE shall review the payment applications submitted by each Contractor and determine whether the amount requested reflects the progress of the Contractor's work. We shall make appropriate adjustments to each payment application and shall prepare and forward to the agency a progress payment report. The report shall state the total contract price, payments to date, current payment requested, retainage and actual amounts owed for the current period.
Maintain Construction Record Drawings - Maintain one set of contract documents with up-to-date information regarding all addendum, substitutions, clarifications, and change orders.
Labor Compliance Checks - The Office Engineer will perform labor compliance checks as recommended by the Caltrans Construction Manual and the Caltrans LAPM, including labor compliance interviews for the prime contractor and subcontractors, review of certified payrolls, checking Contractor postings for all specified posters, notices and wage determinations at the project site (Equal Employment Opportunity posters), and notifications of any observed labor noncompliances so that sanctions can be imposed per Caltrans policy (Construction Manual Chapter 8, "Labor Compliance").
Meetings - Conduct and coordinate project meetings with the stakeholders and prepare meeting agendas and distribute meeting minutes.
FILIPPIN ENGINEERING, INC. I 354 s. FAIRVIEW AVE, STE. 0., GOLETA, CA 93117 P.ta: 12 Reports - Prepare reports that may be required during the final acceptance and project closeout.
Final Inspection and Punch List - Provide final inspection and prepare list of project construction deficiencies for resolution by the Contractor.
Construction Approval/Acceptance - Make recommendations to the Agency staff regarding final project approval and acceptance.
Final Payment - Make recommendations regarding the Contractor's final progress payment request. Prepare final progress payment report for submission to the Agency.
Project Closeout - Provide Agency with all operations and maintenance manuals, along with all project documentation in hard copy (in binders) and electronic files. All documentation to be filed in accordance with LAPM categories and recommendations.
Final Report - Provide the Agency with a project final report that summarizes key information on the project.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
During the project's Construction Phase, our team will perform the necessary services required in execution of construction management and observation (including the following), in addition to those requested by Agency staff during construction.
This list outlines typical services we provide and expect will be necessary:
Construction Management Plan/Coordination of Execution - FE believes strongly in the value of a Construction Management Plan. This Plan is analogous to Project Management Plans we routinely prepare for our public agency projects. The purpose of this Plan is to define the roles and responsibilities of each of the participating parties. The Plan should address the flow of communications and decision-making so that, at all times during the construction process, all relevant parties are involved to the extent necessary and desired.
Project Communication and Coordination - Correspondence will be handled in accordance with procedures established in the Construction Management Plan and per the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). FE will prepare logs, files, transmittals, agendas, minutes, and other documents as necessary to ensure comprehensive dissemination of information, as well as the ability to locate documents in the future, should that be necessat-y.
Schedules - FE puts great emphasis on monitoring of and compliance with schedules, most especially when grant funding is tied to project completion. We recognize that during the construction of a project, unforeseen factors may affect the actual schedule in relation to the submitted schedule. Schedule tracking will not only include collecting information for analyzing the three-week look ahead, but also include review and acceptance of a baseline schedule and monthly schedule updates. FE will maintain a master schedule of all phases, approval processes, and other pertinent actions required of the Agency, consultants, and contractors, and provide monthly updates. On a monthly basis, we will compare the Contractor's progress to the updated schedule. We will also verify that all assumptions regarding logic and items included are still valid.
Submittal Management - FE will log and distribute submittals (e.g., shop drawings, color samples, product "cut sheets") to the engineer/landscape architect or appropriate reviewer, Prior to receipt, as a proactive measure, FE will identify submittal requirements and their relationship to the critical path schedule, to remind the Contractor of submittals that could impact the schedule. Copies of the submittal log will be included with each weekly coordination meeting's agenda/minutes, and FE will follow up to ensure an appropriate and timely response by the engineer. Ideally, most submittals will be transmitted electronically so that inclusion of other parties by "cc" is nearly instantaneous and done without extensive paper use and mailing expense.

CON~;UU!Nfi CONsrnurrnJN MfiNAGf.MENl ~:rnVICES
Management of Requests for Clarification (RFCs)/RRs - Similar to the process for submittals, FE has developed a log system for RFCs and RFls that is easily updated and included with transmittals and weekly meeting agendas/minutes. Within the Construction Manager's authority (established in the Construction Management Plan), responses will be made in the field and logged accordingly. Otherwise, responses will be facilitated by the appropriate person(s) so that no unwarranted delays are experienced. If necessary, the Potential Change Order (PCO) associated with an RFC/RFI will be logged and tracked for costtracking purposes.
Material Substitution Requests - As with RFCs, RFls, submittals, and similar items, FE has an established procedure for logging material substitution requests and will utilize it to track the status of all such documents. To the extent authorized, the construction manager will respond; otherwise, the request will be forwarded to the appropriate Agency and engineer personnel for review. Logs for these requests will be included with all meeting agendas and minutes and will be reviewed to ensure a timely response.
Change Order Management - By establishing a PCO process, FE can track all items and issues that are likely to result in change orders. Such issues may be a result of design changes, requests from Agency staff, or requests from the Contractor ( cost or time). A log will be established, indicating the type of PCO; the potential impacts to cost, schedule, and other matters; and an action deadline. This log will be attached to each week's meeting agenda/minutes and will be reviewed in weekly meetings to prevent PCOs from going unresolved indefinitely.
FE reviews all Contractor Requests for Change Orders to determine whether appropriate procedure has been followed and that the necessary information has been provided. The request is logged and distributed to the Agency, with necessary documentation, such as inspection reports, sketches, photos, or other materials necessary for evaluation. FE will make a recommendation regarding the disposition of each change order request. Often, this recommendation involves gathering additional information from several parties, preparing an independent cost estimate, and suggesting alternatives. Upon Agency review and determination, FE can prepare change orders for signature by Agency staff using the Agency's template, obtain the Contractor's signature, facilitate approval by the Agency, and distribute the order.
Materials Testing - FE will coordinate with the Agency-contracted Materials Acceptance Testing Consultant to ensure construction is being performed to contract document specifications and standards.
Progress Reporting & Recordkeeping - FE staff keeps records in accordance with the Caltrans LAPM. We file all project documentation electronically and keep hard copies in a binder of documentation for turnover to the Agency at project end.
At any time, documentation will be available for Agency review.
Construction Safety Orders - FE documents and monitors the Contractor's construction operations and safety practices per California Division of Occupational Safety and Health requirements and the project Traffic Control Plan.

2022 PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT
f:llNJJlTiNG CONSllHH:folN MANAUMENl srnv1w;
Fl RM APPROACH TO SERVICES
FE understands the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project will include full depth reclamation and cement (FDR-C) treatment of several roads throughout the City. As part of this resurfacing treatment, the asphalt concrete pavement will be replaced by either cold mill and overlay or overlay a top the cement treated pulverized subgrade. The pavement rehabilitation also includes new signage and striping for improved traffic handling. In addition to these roadway resurfacing technologies, minor concrete work throughout the City will include concrete curb and gutter, pedestrian curb ramps, concrete driveway approaches, sidewalk replacement, cross gutter reconstruction and asphalt conform. Prior to these roadway and neighborhood improvements, there are drainage improvements planned for several streets which includes trenching and reinforced concrete pipe installation along with storm drain manholes, drain inlets, drywell installation and connections to existing storm drains. This work includes traffic control and storm water pollution programs, and other various items as specified in the Contract Documents.
In preparation of this proposal, we also understand the following constraints:
• The construction period is anticipated to be 120 working days. • FE is to comply with all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances applicable to the work, including but not limited to, compliance with prevailing wage rates and submission of certified payrolls weekly for field personnel. • FE understands that the City uses the Caltrans procedures for administering its construction projects
KEY CHALLENGES
Major challenges with this project will be coordinating construction on arterial streets and in residential neighborhoods with all adjacent businesses, schools, and residences.
In addition, it is critical that the construction management team assists with providing clear, concise, and consistent communication through all stages of the project to all stakeholders. The more community engagement and outreach we provide, the less likely the City Council and City Manager's offices will be inundated with concerns about this project.
FE understands that while pavement rehabilitation projects are a great benefit to the community, they are also very disruptive to residents and commuters. These services will require a high level of coordination and teamwork with the Design Engineer, City Project Manager, Contractor, and the public. Our team approach to this and every project is to communicate early and often, creating clarity and efficiency to keep all stakeholders on the same page.
This project has potential challenges beyond just construction technicalities. Recognizing and addressing the challenges that we can predict and remaining ready and agile to field those we cannot, is part of FE's plan to achieve a positive project outcome for all stakeholders. Some of the main elements that we believe are critical for success on this project include:
• CONSTRUCTION PHASING: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) construction is challenging on any roadway, but it will be especially challenging on Via Real along the 101 Freeway. This route in the northwest section of the City connects businesses and residents to the 101 Fwy between Santa Monica Rd. and Padaro Ln. and serves as a freeway detour during the ongoing 101 Fwy construction and during emergency services interventions. Phasing this section of work will require careful planning when it comes to implementation of the contractor's phasing and communication with stakeholders will be key to the project's success. The route along Via Real is just one example of how this project will drastically impact immediate and adjacent areas involving schools, commercial and residential neighborhoods, and the FILIPPIN ENGINEERING, INC. I 354 S, FAIRVIEW AVE. STE. D., GOLETA, CA 93117 Pta:I 14 2022 PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT
'.:ilVH:i'i
public that will need to be considered when analyzing the overall schedule and phasing of construction activities.
Other constraints, such as adverse weather and coordination with other agencies, will also need to be considered.
Considering all these factors will help to phase the project in such a way that is most efficient and least disruptive. • CONSTRUCTION COST CONTROL: During construction of a 120 working day project, it is important to closely monitor Contractor costs and forecast any potential added financial impacts. By maintaining detailed daily reports and records of quantities, our team can accurately track project costs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We can also forecast if there may be any added financial impacts due to quantity over- or underruns, thus ensuring that the City is not left with unnecessary surprises with contingency amounts. Our team is adept at staying ahead of Contractors and identifying potential changes before there are costly delays. It is paramount to be proactive rather than reactive during these types of projects.
• CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE CONTROL: The best opportunity for scheduling success is thorough and continuous schedule evaluation. Our staff has expert CPM evaluation skills that allow us to analyze the baseline and monthly schedules and employ control measures in accordance with the Contract Documents. • COMMUNITY OUT'REACH AND COMMUNICATION: Clear, consistent, and concise communication with all stakeholders and the public on a project of this size is key to its overall success. This can be achieved by partnering with the City's public outreach team and providing updates throughout all phases of construction, with a primary focus on pre-construction notification. We will work to anticipate any potential issues and ensure the appropriate information is relayed to the necessary City team members as soon as possible, and to the public, if necessary, along with any impacts, corrective actions, and/or potential solutions.
Fl RM APPROACH TO \JvORK AND HOW IT W LL BENEFIT THE CITY • PROJECT CHAl..lENGES AND OPPORTUNllES FOR SUCCESS: Anticipating potential challenges ahead of the project and having a strategy for resolution is critical to success. Our plan for achieving a positive project outcome is to recognize and address the challenges we can predict. Once a potential problem is identified, our experienced FE team brainstorms feasible solutions that provide the most time and cost-efficient benefits. In addition, the RE will work closely with the Contractor to incorporate any additional solutions or cost-saving opportunities. The identified solutions are provided to the City for final determination. FE believes that working together to solve identified issues/challenges, in contrast to fighting with the Contractor, yields the most successful project for the City. • TECHNICAL AND INTRICATE PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Proactive problem identification and resolution require strong team leadership, expertise from a wide variety of technical disciplines, and effective execution and coordination of many work activities. FE is poised to meet these challenges with knowledge, experience, and professionalism. We know the difference between watching construction and effectively managing it. Recognition and understanding of the technicalities, attention to organization of the details throughout the work, and emphasis on thorough planning/sequencing at the start of and during the project are critical aspects of a successful project. This process not only keeps the project on schedule, but also allows for budget forecasting and tracking. • CLAIMS MANAGEMENT: Two key objectives of the FE team are claims avoidance and claims management through intricate project management. We believe our experienced and dedicated team offers tremendous value to the City and will maximize the opportunity for success by minimizing claim exposu1·es. Our team is familiar with pavement rehabilitation methods and critical path scheduling, has a thorough understanding of the Contract Documents, and FILIPPIN ENGINEERING, INC. I 354 s. FAIRVIEW AVE.

• will put in the time upfront on the critical submittals. A team that understands the work and can anticipate and effectively mitigate or deter potential claims is the City's biggest tool in cost and schedule management. • QUALITY ASSURANCE: FE has developed a Corporate Quality Assurance Plan to document the company's best business practices, better satisfy the requirements and expectations of our clients, and improve overall management of the company. FE believes the following characteristics indicate the quality of our product deliverables and our services:
Complete - Our deliverables will be accurate and thorough and include all relevant project details.
Consistent - Our project administration, products, and deliverables will be consistent with Agency standards and requirements and will comply with all applicable guidelines.
Clear - Correspondence and documentation will be clear and concise.
Successful project management requires strong team leadership, expertise from a wide variety of technical disciplines, proactive problem identification and resolutions, and effective execution and coordination of many work activities. FE is poised to execute these tasks with knowledge, experience, and professionalism. We know the difference between watching construction and effectively managing it. Recognition and understanding of the technicalities, attention to the organization of the details throughout the work, and emphasis on thorough planning/sequencing at the start of and during all project phases are critical aspects of a successful project. These processes not only keep the project on schedule, but also allow for budget forecasting and tracking. • QUAIJlY-TRUSf, BUfVERIFY: FE's approach to project quality will be "Trust, but verify." We will approach the Contractor with respect and trust that they will approach the project with integrity; we trust the Contractor has done the "right thing" but we verify and document to confirm the "right thing" has in fact been done. Taking an approach that outwardly lacks trust is disrespectful and will be returned in kind, so we avoid this approach.
QUALITY DELIVERABLES
PROCORE CAPABILITIES
E
FE is proud to share that we offer full-service Procore Project Management software on every one of our projects, and at no cost to the City, Contractor, or any other user. Utilization of the Procore tools will ensure standardization of Quality, increased efficiency in document control, continuous transparency to the City staff (and any number of desired/authorized stakeholders). This software platform is the best available technology in the field and will be used to successfully manage the document control procedures, still in keeping with the Caltrans Construction Procedures Manual and LAPM. As one of Procore's very first users FE is very familiar with Procore's functionality.
PROJECT CONTROL AND DOCUMENTATION
The FE T earn brings considerable experience on past municipal public agency projects. The majority of our projects are contracted and administered under State and Federal guidelines, and FE manages all our projects using Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) and Caltrans Construction Manual procedures. We note that this is not a Caltrans project, however the established management systems and procedures are considered industry standard for public work projects in California. Our firm staff maintain a consistent and intimate familiarity of the LAPM and Construction Manual practices. Our familiarity with Caltrans project systems and procedures is a necessary component to ensure construction QA FILIPPIN ENGINEERING, INC. I 354 s. FAIRVIEW AVE. STE.

We recognize the importance of implementing proper procedures and record keeping in avoiding delays, mitigating claims, and in project acceptance, hence we will utilize our ongoing experience to ensure that project acceptance is achieved as early as possible.
MONTHLY PROJECT UPDATE REPORT
The most effective way to disseminate critical project components to the City is to provide a monthly project status report, which shall include a summary of the project schedule, construction and CM services budgets, any issues, overall project progress, and photographic updates.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, volunteers and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 20 l 0-0413. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consistmg of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 (thirty) days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
13 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.
If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.
Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents. 14 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.
There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. The City's failure to comply with reporting requirements should not affect coverage required under the Agreement.
23. The consultant's insurance is primary to that of any insurance claimed by the City.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

5. One (1) half-day site visit over the duration of Item 32 - 24" RCP Storm Drain in Open Trench; and
6. Summary letter report of QA activities and observations.
We estimate 46 hours of CSA staff field and office time will be required to complete the scope of work outlined above. UMT's staff hours are summarized in their appended proposal.
We propose to provide the services in accordance with our 2023-24 Fee Schedule using rates for our staff, senior, and principal engineers and geologists. The total estimated fee for all proposed services is $86,790; CSA's estimated portion of the total fee is $8,000, and UMT's estimated portion of the total fee is $78,790.
We will advise city staff when we reach 80 percent of the project budget, or when an individual project task duration exceeds the estimated schedule, at which time our fee estimate may need to be updated and additional fees collected.

Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Consultant, subconsultants or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, volunteers and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010-0413. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 (thirty) days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any patty will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
13 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
14 17. The provisrons of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.
There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. The City's failure to comply with reporting requirements should not affect coverage required under the Agreement.
23. The consultant's insurance is primary to that of any insurance claimed by the City.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Approval of a budget appropriation for the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget appropriation of $209,650 to the Measure A Fund to transfer to the Capital Improvement Project Fund for the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project.
Sample Motion: I move to approve a budget appropriation of $209,650 to the Measure A Fund to transfer to the Capital Improvement Projects Fund for the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project was approved in both the Fiscal Year 2022-23 and Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Budget. Initial revenue projections, set according to project costs, estimated a combined $297,100 appropriation in those fiscal years with the following breakdown:
Measure A- $13,200
Measure A Grant- $283,900
The Measure A Grant reimburses 25-percent of the project costs ($297,100 x 0.25 = $74,275.) The CIP Budget inadvertently proposed the Measure A Grant as $283,900 for the design phase. This results in a short fall of $209,625. An appropriation of $209,650 from the Measure A Fund to the Capital Improvement Projects Fund would make the correction in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget document (page119) as follows:
FUNDING SOURCE:
Fiscal Year Prior Years 2022/2023 2023/2024 Total
Measure A $13,200 $13,200
Measure A Grant $165,050 $118,850 $283,900
Total $178,250 $118,850 $297,100
