Dear Council Members:
My name is Jennifer Kathleen Gibbons. Although I live now in Central California, most of my life, I lived in Contra Costa County, Pleasant Hill, and Lafayette. I am familiar with Concord: My parents lived near the Iron Horse Trail when they first moved to Contra Costa and Mohr Lane. I went to Ygnacio Valley High School, soaked up the free air conditioning at the Capri Theater, went to shows at the Willows Theater, and worked briefly at the Concord library for several months. I became sad when I learned the Hot Dog Place on Salvio was out of business. I consider Concord part of my home.
Last year I had the honor of being in the courtroom when Mitchell Lynn Bacom, the man accused of killing fourteen-year-old Suzanne (Suzie) Bombardier in 1980, was found guilty of murder, sexual assault, and other charges. Suzie lived in Concord most of her young life, and she's buried near my grandparents in Lafayette. After a random encounter with a stranger ten years ago, I started writing about Suzie, which became an essay for Salon. The case was reopened thanks to the coverage, and Bacom was arrested in December 2017. I now ask for justice for a young man who didn't live in Concord but had visited the town several times and one night found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Timothy Charles Lee didn't have it easy. His mother died when he was ten, and his father relocated to Georgia. He and his siblings, Tommy and Tammy, were three against the world. There were multi-racial: Black and Native American. Timmy wanted to be a fashion designer. Although he had a setback with low grades at one school, he was trying again at another one. He had a positive attitude and tried to stay buoyant. He worked at a textile place in the City. He was also gay and was comfortable with his sexuality.
One night in November 1985, he stayed late to have drinks. He just got paid and deposited his check like any other Friday. He fell asleep on the BART train and missed the Richmond train taking him to his home in Berkeley. Back then, Concord Written Public Comment
Agenda Item No. 6.a

6.a
was the end of the line. It was around one in the morning, the last train that night.
Worried, he called several friends asking for help. Nobody could help. One woman tried calling BART but couldn't get anyone. The next morning, a woman was feeding stray cats the following day when she saw something hanging from a tree. It was Timmy.
The Bay Area media covered the story. Timmy's family insisted it was murder, but the police ruled it a suicide. However, questions remained: how did neighbors close to Concord BART hear screaming around 1:30 in the morning while Timothy was at the BART station? Two young men dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes had also been arrested that night for stabbing two black men, but that was dismissed as them being dressed up for a Halloween party, even though Halloween was the day before. Tammy and Tommy's names were misspelled on the note Timmy left behind. Timmy's own name was misspelled in the note.
Timmy also just received a scholarship to a school in Milan. Tammy also said she saw cigarette burns on Timmy's body, but the police said it was ant bites. Several months after Timmy died, another Concord resident Jacquelyn Peters was found hanging from a tree in Lafayette. She had been upset by Timmy's death and said she was subjected to racism by her neighbors. Her death has also ruled a suicide.
Timmy's story was soon forgotten, along with Jacquelyn Peters's. However, poets Joy Harjo and Audre Lorde wrote about them. At Ygnacio Valley High School, Mr.
Arthur Atkinson talked about what happened in my freshman English class. It became the elephant in the room: something not discussed but remembered. It affected his immediate family; his father, brother, and sister died in their fifties.
With the recent deaths of George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Angelo Quinto, and Tyre Nichols, Timmy has been on my mind. I've always had the nagging feeling it wasn't a suicide. Yes, Timmy admitted to a friend he was depressed. But the supposed time the police had him killing himself was around 5:30-6:00 when trains started to run on Saturday mornings. Wouldn't seeing the train make Timmy rethink such a dire decision? What about Jacquelyn's similar death months later? The screaming the neighbors heard that night? Bill Callison was one of the neighbors. Before Callison's death in 2008, he left a collection of materials connected to Timmy to his alma mater Stanford, including an eight-page statement about what he heard that night.
I don't fault the Concord Police; they did the best with what he had. It was the culture we were living in at the time. We thought racism was over, a bad memory left behind like lava lamps or platform shoes. After all, The Cosby Show was the number-one show in the country. Jesse Jackson ran for president. We now know racism was far from over, and what happened to Timothy Lee could've been a hate crime.
Timmy's cousin Franklin Sterling led a November candlelight vigil at Concord BART and talked about his cousin. He urged his cousin's case be reopened. He invited the city council to come, but only one person-Laura Nakamura, then a candidate took him up on the invitation. I urge the City Council to help reopen the case of Timothy Lee.
One of the things that haunted me about Suzie Bombardier is that she fell through the cracks. Timmy did as well. It's time for fresh eyes to look at the evidence and see possibly any signs of foul play. Suzie's case was solved thanks to advanced techniques in DNA. Could those techniques help Timmy's case? If these fresh eyes prove it was a suicide, okay. At least Timmy's family can know and possibly be at peace.
I know this is an ugly part of Concord's past that many wouldn't want to look at. But it needs to be looked at. It has to be looked at. James Baldwin wrote, "Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." It's time Concord faces, for better or for worse, what happened to Timothy Charles Lee on November 2, 1985. Then maybe, just maybe, there can be change.
Yours truly,
Jennifer Kathleen Gibbons

Subject: City Council Meeting Citizen Correspondence General Public Comment
Council,
Since last contact regarding my pony permit with you, the planning commission finally has Invited me to apply for a permit. I finally made it beyond the negligent & illegal pre-screening process in effect. However the city now wants to extort $538 out of me after I was just extorted out of too much property taxes for not being able to use the public pool.
I requested relevant information to my case & Mindy Gentry finally responded with every permit granted in this cities history.
I took the time her staff should have & did the do-diligence necessary to even begin charging the public for a companion animal permit & harassing residents about how to live on their property.
Please review the attached spreadsheet I made up of Concord Companion Animal Permit History & my comments regarding the data.
I'd like this council to bring up many things after this troubling experience:
1st: Fire Mindy Gentry as head of planning commission & much of the staff including everyone involved in my case. Mainly for the illegal & negligent pre-screening process in effect. This city can't even go back & fix her mistakes because they don't know how many "Non-RR20- 20,000sqft +" residents came seeking a permit to have their property rights denied & quickly shown the door by her staff. At the same time Mindy's incompetent perception of the law has dramatically destroyed city companion animal culture, an ever sickening culture of entitlement thrives within her department.
The entire reasoning given for denying my permit, then denying my appeal, is canceled out by the 5th most recent permit granted: not being R20 or even RR, but LDR as my lot is. 2nd: I'd like a companion animal permit granted Free for 2 ponies/horses. For having to put up with, work through, & expose the cities failures.
3rd: Free companion animal permits should be granted to "Non-RR20-20,000sqft +" residents for the foreseeable future. To re-vamp city companion animal culture because the planning commission's incompetence & negligence has resulted in City Companion Animal Cultural Deprivation.
4th: Hold the Elite 1%'s to the same standard you hold the rest of the public to. Stop Discriminating! Stop enforcing rules on the common folk without enforcing the rules on the RR20/RR40 properties.
Sincerely,
John Tague

Subject: Thank you for putting Concord first!
Good Afternoon,
I was hoping to attend this evening's City Council meeting so that I could express my gratitude in person, but my schedule doesn't permit that tonight.
I'm writing to send a sincere thank-you to Mayor Hoffmeister, Council-member Obringer, and Council-member Nakamura for your January 28th decision to allow the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Concord First Partners LLC (CFP) to expire. In doing so, I believe you saved our city from decades of legal and financial woes.
I understand that it wasn't an easy decision to make (politically speaking), but each of you demonstrated that you understand the importance of demanding world-class integrity and transparency with a project of this scope, and it was evident from the beginning that this developer was unwilling to rise to that level.
Contrary to what many CFP advocates have asserted, your decision to drop the problematic developer hasn't delayed development of Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) at all. I'd argue that it has in fact hastened the process, considering how things would've likely played out otherwise.
As I am sure you've heard from countless Concord residents, the overwhelming majority of our community (those not directly affiliated with Contra Costa Buildings & Trade) do not trust Discovery Homes, and does not wish for our city to partner with any consortiums that comprise a Seeno entity. Many were prepared to take action on a referendum had CFP been formally named as Master Developer of CNWS, a process that would undoubtedly have been time-consuming, expensive, and laborious for all parties involved. The decision to start over now with the selection process puts us exactly where we would've found ourselves years from now had the decision gone the other way. Thank you for saving all of us a considerable amount of time, resources, and energy.
Thank you for listening to your constituents.
Thank you for truly putting Concord first.
Thank you very much!

Background
On June 1, 2020, City Council approved the proposed Five-Year Pavement Expenditure plan, which included Residential Pavement Maintenance – Phase E (City Project Nos. 2611, 2613, 2621, & 2624).
In June 8, 2021, the City Council adopted the mid-cycle adjustments to the CIP Budget for Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22, which an included appropriation of $3,238,000 to fund the fully fund design of the subject projects. Funds to cover the remaining costs of construction are anticipated to be added to the projects at the next mid-cycle adjustments to the CIP Budget.
Analysis/Procurement Process
Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on October 25, 2022 for consultants to provide design and related services for Residential Pavement Maintenance – Phase E (City Project Nos. 2611, 2613, 2621, & 2624). The RFP was advertised in the local newspaper and on the City’s Procurement Website (Public Purchase). Two proposals were received, reviewed, and ranked by the selection committee comprised of City Staff from Engineering Services.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.b
February 7, 2023
Based on the analysis of the proposals, interviews, and references, Bellecci & Associates was selected as the most qualified firm to provide design and related services for Residential Pavement Maintenance – Phase E (City Project Nos. 2611, 2613, 2621, & 2624). City Staff and Bellecci & Associates negotiated the scope of work, cost for the services, and agreed upon $844,792.00 as a fair and reasonable compensation for the services needed to complete the design phase of the project.
Bellecci & Associates has extensive experience in the design of paving projects in the Bay Area. They have designed Concord’s North 6th Street, Solano Way, Wren Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project (City Project No. 2361), and most recently completed design for Meadow Lane/Market Street Paving Project (Project No. 2582).
Financial Impact
An estimated $844,792.00 is needed to fully fund the design of Residential Pavement Maintenance – Phase E (City Project Nos. 2611, 2613, 2621, & 2624), which includes design services, staff time, advertising, administrative costs, and contingencies.
Project Nos. 2611, 2613, 2621, & 2624 are currently funded by $3,238,000 from Measure V Funds (Fund 407 and 490). Additional funds to cover the cost of construction are expected to be added at a later date.
Environmental Determination
This design activity does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) or CEA Guidelines Section 15378 because there is no potential that it will result in a direct or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if the activity does comprise a project for CEQA analysis, it falls within the “common sense” CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflect the City’s independent judgment and analysis. Individual projects will undergo CEQA analysis as necessary.

Subject: Considering letter of support for SB X1-2 (Oil Price Gouging Penalty).
Report in Brief
On December 5, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom and Senator Nancy Skinner unveiled a proposed price gouging penalty on oil companies’ excess profits to deter excessive price increases and keep money in Californians’ pockets. The announcement followed unexplained gas price hikes that led to record profits for Big Oil. Affirmative action on this item will result in Mayor Hoffmeister, acting on behalf of the City Council, sending a letter of support for the legislation (Attachment 1).
Recommended Action
Authorize Mayor Hoffmeister to send a letter of support for SB X1-2 (Oil Price Gouging Penalty).
Background
The Legislature found and declared the following:
(a) From August to October of 2022, Californians experienced some of the highest gasoline prices ever recorded in the state, even though the price of crude oil declined, state taxes and fees remained unchanged, and gasoline prices did not increase outside the western United States. (b) Much of this increase was caused by refiners, which increased the costs and profits they added to the price California consumers paid at the pump, leading to prices that were substantially higher per gallon than average prices in the rest of the United States.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.c
February 7, 2023
(c) During the third and fourth quarters of 2022, the overlap in timing of planned maintenance at refiners’ facilities resulted in a larger decrease in crude oil processing capacity than would otherwise have occurred if planned maintenance at refiners’ facilities had not coincided.
(d) During this same period of time, refiners allowed gasoline inventory levels to reach decade-low levels, placing an upward pressure on gasoline prices. (e) This refiner conduct makes clear that greater transparency into and oversight of refinery maintenance schedules and inventory is necessary, to avoid preventable supply shocks in the market for transportation fuels. (f) Historically, refinery outages and issues have created an opportunity for market participants to take advantage of naturally high prices by manipulating prices to stay higher longer, as evidenced by gasoline prices in California remaining elevated without explanation following a temporary price shock after a refinery explosion in 2015, which further demonstrates the need for greater visibility into the pricing, contracting, and marketing practices of industry participants.
(g) Although preventable capacity limitations and inventory shortages played a role in the third quarter of 2022 price increases, they cannot account for all of those increases. Similar factors did not lead to extreme price spikes in prior years, suggesting that the sky-high prices Californians faced from August to October of 2022 were due in significant part to opportunistic price gouging by oil companies.
(h) Indeed, during the third quarter of 2022, refiners earned record profits, with some refiners earning more than tenfold their profits for the same period of time in 2021.
(i) Fundamental change is necessary to prevent future extreme price spikes and price gouging by oil companies, which are entitled to a reasonable return but are not entitled to reap exorbitant profits at the expense of Californians, many of whom rely on gasoline as an essential commodity or who are impacted by the increased cost of goods and services that results from the gasoline price spikes, even as the state begins to transition away from dependence on the fossil fuels that are destroying our climate.
Analysis
Passage of the proposed legislation (Attachment 2) would do all of the following:
(a) Require that the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) conduct regular assessments of the supply and price of transportation fuels in the state, and of the impacts on production of refinery maintenance and turnarounds on fuel supply and price.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.c
February 7, 2023
(b) Expand the Energy Commission’s authority to investigate and obtain necessary information, including information regarding pricing, supply contracts, and inventory management, from participants in the market for transportation fuels.
(c) Expand the Energy Commission’s authority to order that refinery maintenance and turnarounds be rescheduled in specified circumstances, when consistent with employee and public safety and necessary to avoid supply shocks in the market for transportation fuels.
(d) Establish an advisory committee of fuels market experts to provide the Energy Commission with independent advice and insights. (e) Require the Energy Commission and the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with the state’s fuel producers and refiners, to plan for and monitor progress toward the state’s reliable, safe, equitable, and affordable transition away from petroleum fuels, and to issue periodic reports to the Governor and the Legislature.
(f) Supplement existing refinery reporting requirements by requiring more detailed reports to the Energy Commission on transportation fuel imports, inventory levels, and transactions, and on refinery maintenance turnarounds.
Financial Impact
There are no direct fiscal impacts. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation relating to transportation fuels, as described, including requiring the commission to conduct regular assessments of the supply and price of transportation fuels in the state, and of the impacts on production of refinery maintenance and turnarounds on fuel supply and price.

Re: SUPPORT for SB X1-2: Transportation fuels: maximum gross gasoline refining margin Senator Skinner:
On behalf of the City Council, I am writing to express the City of Concord’s strong support for SB X1-2, the Price Gouging Penalty bill.
As oil companies hiked prices and raked in record profits in late 2022, the impacts have had a ripple effect that staggered communities, consumers, labor, and businesses across the state. We support the Price Gouging Penalty to discourage these price hikes from happening in the first place and help provide much needed oversight and transparency to hold the oil and gas industry accountable– creating checks and balances to protect Californians. If oil companies exceed the bill’s threshold for maximum refining margins, they will be charged a tiered penalty amount to be deposited into the Price Gouging Penalty Fund, which will return these excessive profits back to Californians for the prices they were gouged at the pump.
Furthermore, we support expanding the authority of the California Energy Commission and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to investigate and obtain information from Big Oil. With increased oversight and transparency, the state can evaluate costs, profits, and pricing in the refining, distribution, and retail segments of the California gasoline market to uncover irregularities and minimize the likelihood of future unjustifiable price hikes.
Due to the significant and severe environmental and financial burdens that the oil and gas industry has imposed for decades, the City of Concord thanks you for taking steps to Attachment 1
provide realistic solutions that will support communities, consumers, labor, and businesses through oversight and accountability.
Sincerely,
Laura M. Hoffmeister

Report in Brief
The City of Concord released its Broadband Master Plan in March 2018, which includes development of a fiber-optic network to help manage communication between Citywide facilities and infrastructure. This includes improving the communication and efficiencies of traffic operations throughout the City by interconnecting traffic signals with high- speed fiber-optic cables. Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579) involves the construction of interconnected fiber-optic cable on Clayton Road, between Galindo Street and Washington Boulevard, to help improve real-time traffic monitoring, central communications, and incident management.
This project is currently divided into 3 parts. The base bid is on Clayton Road from Galindo Street to Farm Bureau Road. Bid Additive 1 is on Clayton Road from Farm Bureau Road to Treat Boulevard. Bid Additive 2 is on Clayton Road from Treat Boulevard to Washington Boulevard.
Construction of Project No. 2579 consists of installing fiber-optic cables through new and existing conduits. Work will also include installing new fiber-optic pull boxes, connecting fiber-optic cables into traffic signal cabinets, and connecting to existing fiber- optic interconnects. Project No. 2579 will also allow for improved operations and communications along Clayton Road.
The project has been designed and released for competitive construction bids in October 2022. Gruendl Inc. DBA Ray’s Electric (Ray’s Electric) of Oakland, CA was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The total bid received from Ray’s Electric was $4,036,910.00. Staff recommends award of a construction contract to Ray’s Electric for the total bid, and a project contingency for contract change orders up to 10% of the contract amount.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.d
February 7, 2023
In order to fully fund the construction of Project No. 2579, Staff recommends transferring $1,100,000 (2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds) from Clayton Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2609), $612,500 (2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds) from Innovative Transportation Program (Project No. 2573), and $200,000 (2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds) from Replace Controller/Cabinet/VDS at Signalized Intersection (Project No. 2462) to Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579).
If the construction contract and budget transfer are approved, Project No. 2579 will start construction in August 2023 pending material procurement, specifically cabinets and controllers from the agreements for professional services with Cubic commenced on December 23, 2021.
Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579) is an extension of Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 1 (Project No. 2547), which installed fiber optic conduit and fiber on Clayton Road from Sutter Street to Market Street. Project No. 2579 is also scheduled to be completed before the construction for Clayton Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2609) begins in Spring 2025.
On October 28, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract for the On-Call Traffic Signal and Streetlight Repair Services – RFP No. 2442 to DC Electric Group Inc.
The program was generated to provide City staff with access to an on-call Contractor to perform as-needed repairs, upgrades, and equipment installations to traffic signals and streetlights. An increase in DC Electric’s on-call contract limit is needed in order to install Traffic Video Detection Cameras at 20 intersections along this corridor.

Background
In March 2018, the City of Concord released its Broadband Master Plan. The City collaborated with Magellan Advisors to assist in the development of a Fiber-Optic Strategy Plan, with the goal to gather information and better understand the needs of the City and other stakeholders to learn about the needs to deliver broadband services and improve communication between City facilities and local businesses.
On December 1, 2020, the City Council approved the creation and funding for the design of Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579).
After approval of the new Project No. 2579, Staff issued a Task Order under the On-call Master Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn to start design. The project was advertised for bids on October 2022.
On October 28, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract for the On-Call Traffic Signal and Streetlight Repair Services – RFP No. 2442 to DC Electric Group Inc.
The program was generated to provide City staff with access to an on-call Contractor to perform as-needed repairs, upgrades, and equipment installations to traffic signals and streetlights.

Gruendl Inc. DBA Ray’s Electric (Ray’s Electric) of Oakland, CA was the apparent low bidder. Staff reviewed the bid proposed and determined Ray’s Electric submitted a
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.d
February 7, 2023
responsive and responsible bid. Staff contacted Ray’s Electric as the lowest bidder to obtain confirmation of their bid amount, and can also confirm that they are ready to perform the work as bid. Staff completed analysis of Ray’s Electric, determining that this contractor possesses an appropriate and valid license, and is not on any debarred list.
Ray’s Electric has satisfactory references and has successfully completed similar projects for other local agencies in the Bay Area. In addition, Ray’s Electric is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as required by SB 854.
The total bid submitted by Ray’s Electric is lower than the Engineer’s Estimate for Project No. 2579, so Staff recommends award of a construction contract since the total bid price is within reason. Staff also recommends proceeding with construction of Project No. 2579 in the Fall/Winter of 2023 after Video Detection Systems (VDS’s) are installed at all the intersections and cabinets and controllers are received. Ray’s Electric and their subcontractors have agreed to be bound by the citywide Project Stabilization Agreement.
Professional Services Agreement for Construction Management Management of this construction project requires support from a construction management firm. Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for construction management and materials testing services on September 16, 2022 for Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579). The RFP was advertised in the local newspaper and the City’s Procurement Website. One proposal was received, which was reviewed by the selection committee comprised of City staff from Engineering Services.
Based on the analysis of the proposal and references, Swinerton Management and Consulting (SMC) was selected as the most qualified firm to provide construction management and materials testing services for Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 (Project No. 2579). City staff and Swinerton negotiated the scope of work, and cost for the services, and agreed upon a combined $431,075, with $406,075.00 for construction management services and $25,000.00 for materials testing services, as fair and reasonable compensation for the services needed manage the construction and test the materials for the project. SMC’s materials testing sub- consultant Ninyo & Moore has agreed to be bound by the citywide Project Stabilization Agreement.
On-Call Traffic Signal Repair Contract Increase
The amount of Video Detection System (VDS) equipment to be installed throughout the duration of the On-Call Traffic Signal and Streetlight Repair Services – RFP No. 2442 contract (from October 2022 to October 2023) far exceeded staff’s expectations. As a result, staff underestimated the target not to exceed annual expenditure amount applied to DC Electric Group Inc.’s on-call contract, which was set at $200,000. VDS’s are to be installed at all intersections with traffic signalization prior to any fiber optic installation to ensure proper connections between the new and existing systems. Therefore, all
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.d
February 7, 2023
fiber projects for the remaining contract duration including PJ 2579 will require the installation of VDS’s at each intersection with traffic signals before construction commences. Thus, a contract amendment is necessary to increase the maximum annual expenditures to $500,000 to cover the unanticipated volume of work and VDS installations.
Financial Impact
The Total Bid includes the Base Bid, Bid Additive 1, and Bid Additive 2. The City reserved the right to award any combination of bid schedules for the project at its own discretion. The total available project funding, after accounting for design and bidding, is approximately $3,660,000. To award the Base Bid, Bid Additive 1, and Bid Additive 2, approximately $5,567,000 is needed to cover the construction costs, 10% contingency, construction management and inspection services, and staff oversight costs. In order to fund the full construction of Project No. 2579, a budget transfer of $1,907,000 is recommended.
Staff recommends a budget transfer for $1,100,000 from Clayton Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2609) 2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds (Fund 407), $612,500 from Innovative Transportation Program (Project No. 2573) 2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds (Fund 407), and $200,000 from Replace Controller/Cabinet/VDS at Signalized Intersection (Project No. 2462) 2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds (Fund 407).
After Council’s approval of the recommended budget transfer, there will be sufficient funds in the budget of Project 2579 to fund all related construction costs.
Project No. 2579 is funded by PEG Fees Funds (Fund 225) and 2021 Debt Issuance Measure V Funds (Fund 407).
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(2), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15282(j), 15378, Public Resources Code Sections 21065 and/or 21080.19, award of these contracts is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, award of this contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302– Replacement and Reconstruction, 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, and/or 15305 – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations as it involves fiber optic installation, traffic signal modifications, and adjusting utilities to grade. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

Any additional compensation to CONSULTANT that is greater than the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, must be approved by City Council. CONSULTANT’s failure to secure CITY’s written authorization for additional compensation or changes to the Scope of Work shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment in the price or time due, whether by way of compensation,

RE: Proposal for Construction Management Services and Materials Testing Services Cit y of Concord’s Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements Phase 2 | City Project No. 2579 Dear Mr. Bosch:
Swinerton Management & Consulting (Swinerton) is pleased to present our Proposal for Construction Management Services and Materials Testing Services for the City of Concord’s Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements Phase 2 | Project No. 2579. Swin- erton is eager about the prospect of working with the City of Concord again. We keep our ongoing relationship and partnership with the City in the highest regard.
As you know, Swinerton is a full-service Construction Management firm with the ability to deliver a wide range of services that the City of Concord is seeking for this project. Swinerton has a long history of successfully completing improvement projects not only within the City of Concord, but also in the Cities of Pleasanton, San Pablo, Richmond, Dublin, and South San Francisco. We have specific experience installing fiber optic conduit and cable connecting signalized intersections, most recently for the City of Pleas- anton. Our experience also includes modifying intersections, including traffic control, construction signage, installation of fiber optic communications cable in conduit, pull boxes, fiber optic splicing and testing, new signal controllers and cabinets, Contra Costa video detection, and related hardware.
In addition, we bring extensive experience coordinating with the various City Departments, Design team and Contractor, Water District, and other local utilities and stakeholders. We perform construction contract administration, public outreach, schedule and budget monitoring, document control, daily onsite inspections, materials sampling and testing coordination, quality assurance, claims mitigation, and project close-out. Swinerton is committed to the City of Concord by providing professional team members with highly relevant and recent experience with the scope of work identified in the Request for Proposal.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES - A TEAM THAT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH THE CITY OF CONCORD. What sets Swinerton apart from the rest is our dedication and commitment to the City of Concord. We have successfully provided services to the City of Concord’s Engineering Division for over 10 years and have developed a strong partnership with the City over that time.
We maintain the City’s best interests as our top priority, understand the Engineering Division’s goals and objectives, and with their direction, are capable of acting on their behalf. In addition, Swinerton is very familiar with the City’s processes and procedures and we will work together with the City’s Traffic Engineering Division to ensure a successful project is delivered.
Mr. Robert Addiego, Project Executive, has over 28 years of construction management experience and will lead the Swinerton team on the Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements Phase 2 Project. He has successfully worked with the City of Concord on previ- ous traffic improvement projects and understands the City’s expectations and the effort needed to meet or exceed those expecta- tions. Our Senior Resident Engineer, Mr. Bill Coletto is a licensed Professional Engineer with many years of pavement, roadway and infrastructure experience, including installing fiber option conduits and communications improvements. He will be supported by our Assistant Resident Engineer, Oscar Zhao, P.E. and Construction Inspector, Mr. Jonathan Haworth, who both bring extensive experi- ence with fiber optic and traffic signal modification projects. Included on our team is Ninyo & Moore to provide special inspection and materials sampling and testing. Ninyo & Moore also brings extensive experience on similar utility projects.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES - SWINERTON RESOURCES. In addition, our Project Team will be supported by Swinerton’s wealth of corporate resources, such as safety, cost estimating, scheduling and risk management that are available to our Team upon request to help deliver the project safely, on time, within budget and with a high level of quality.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES - DEDICATION TO OUR CLIENTS. Swinerton strives to build collaborative relationships with City staff, maintaining thorough communication, and always having the City’s best interests in mind. We will work together to make the City’s goals and objectives our own, and to ensure those goals are met. Our Project Team’s recent and relevant experience includes similar projects with the Cities of Richmond, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Menlo Park. We completed the City of Con- cord’s Operational Improvements along Parallel Arterial Lines Project No. 2356 and we are currently working on the City of Concord’s Citywide Traffic Systems Upgrade Project. We will apply that experience to this Project to properly plan, anticipate and manage the project’s intricacies and challenges to ensure its success; we have the experience to provide the foresight and knowledge to ensure a quality project is delivered on time and within budget.

EXPERIENCE OF FIRM
SWINERTON MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING . The Swinerton Family of Companies, established in 1888, formerly Swinerton & Walberg, was incorporated in the State of California in 1908. Throughout the years, the Company has established its identity and reputation for high quality construction, integrity, customer satisfaction, financial stability and project team excellence.
The family spirit and values of the Swinerton Companies has been the keystone of our successful 134-year history. These values are still apparent, having provided a consistent theme to successive generations of management, and are deeply embedded in the culture of the Company today.
The Highest Integrity
Customer Satisfaction
A Safe Work Environment
Excellence in Our People
The Quality of Our Products
As construction projects became increasingly more complex and expensive, clients found it imperative to ensure their projects were better planned, designed and executed. Swinerton, Inc. responded to these needs in 1994 by consolidating all Program and Construction Management and Consulting services into one Division. This division has evolved into Swinerton Management & Consulting (Swinerton).

Thanks to the Company’s robust financial health and our breadth of work within positive sectors such as education, Public Works, healthcare and multi-family housing, Swinerton today is one of America’s most stable Construction Service companies. The Swinerton Family of Companies revenues were over $4 Billion in 2021.

Swinerton | Consultant'a Approach to Scope of Services and Project Understanding 04 CONSULTANTS APPROACH TO SCOPE OF
SERVICES AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT, KEY GOALS FOR SUCCESS AND
ANTICIPATED CHALLENGES
The Swinerton Team has reviewed the Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 Project documents and project site and has identified the following key goals to ensure project success. Communication and collaboration with the entire Project Team, including the City Staff, Design Team, Contractor, Communit y, Contr a Costa Water District, PG&E, and other utility companies and stakeholders. Community Outreach and Coordination with residents, local businesses and schools. Close coordination of each intersection and project area, including Traffic Control measures and Construction signage, especiall y during conduit installation. Ensuring safety, traffic protocols and traffic flow are key factors. Thorough site investigation including potholing of existing utilities to mitigate potential conflicts and impacts to the project schedule and budget.
Comprehensive Quality Assurance and close coordination with the Contractor’s Quality Control to ensure high-level quality work.
In-depth schedule and budget management: Ensuring the Contractor maintains progress in accordance with the approved schedule; and det ailed monitoring of bid items and mitigating change order requests to maintain the project budget.
We have successfully completed many recent projects similar to the Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements – Phase 2 Project including the City of Concord’s Operational Improvements Along Parallel Arterials and FY 14-15 Pavement Rehabilitation projects. These projects included similar work elements such as fiber optic conduit and cable installation, concrete improvements, pavement restoration, and traffic system modifications. We are currently managing the Grant Street / East Street Pavement Rehabilitation project P J2525 and the Citywide Traffic System Upgrade project P J2493, both of which are not only similar but need to be coordinated for their traffic system improvements. We utilize our knowledge to develop our project approach including our strategies, procedures, key goals, and anticipated challenges described in the following sections. The Swinerton Team will use this approach to ensure the Contractor performs a high level of quality of work in accordance with the plans and specifications while mitigating any impacts to the public.
COMMUNICATION IS A KEY GOAL TO PROJECT SUCCESS
Swinerton’s success record is largely due to its ability to develop a team environment with all project stakeholders. We place a special emphasis on communication. Effective communication is the cornerstone of Swinerton’s long-standing relationships with our Clients and our ability to successfully deliver projects within the parameters set by each client. As a first step in this process, we will commence the project by identifying all of the project stakeholders and defining the project communication paths.
This approach will support a total team approach, including the City of Concord, Design Team, Contractor, Contra Costa Water District, local residents, businesses, schools, other local utility companies, local transit and trash collection service, and other stakeholders. Our goal is to communicate fully with all project team members to not only keep everyone informed, but to also mitigate impacts to the project and the public. We will:
Make certain that all information is communicated effectively and that all key information and outcomes are provided on a timel y basis.
Communicate regularly with the Project Team to provide project updates regarding project budget, schedule, potential is sues, and all items of interest or concern.
Update project stakeholders, such as Contra Costa Water District, PG&E, local schools, businesses and residents of the Contr actor’s schedule and sequence of work, including the work locations and flow of work. This includes traffic control plans, det ours, and pedestrian and bicycle access.
Support City of Concord Staff at meetings with the Design Team, Contractor, and other stakeholders. Thoroughly review the plans and specifications to identify any possible disparities or constructability issues and verify the curr ent field conditions with the plans and specifications. Include the City’s Traffic Engineering Department in weekly meetings and at site meetings (as needed) to ensure proper coor dination regarding fiber optic installation, equipment, splicing and connections, and programming.

Swinerton | Consultant'a Approach to Scope of Services and Project Understanding 04 CONSULTANTS APPROACH TO SCOPE OF
SERVICES AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND COORDINATION
Likewise, in partnership with City of Concord and its Consultants, we will assist with community outreach, inclusive of Project Notifications to keep the public informed, and manage any general communications with the public to ensure that the Outreach Program is successfully implemented. Along with the City’s typical Notification that is provided to the community prior to the project commencing, we will work with the Contractor to ensure their notices are being provided and delivered in accordance with the Special Provisions Section 7-11. We will ensure notifications and coordination with the residents, businesses, local schools, Contra Costa Water District, other utility companies, transit agencies, trash collection companies, and first responders.
In addition to the City and Contractor Notices, additional methods to keep the public informed is through construction signage and Changeable Message Boards (CMS boards) – we will ensure the Contractor is in compliance with Sheet KM-01 Key Map showing the locations of the CMS boards / Construction Area Signs. The City's website and the NextDoor app are also great tools for informing the public. The project schedule, Staging sequence, location of work, type of work and any potential traffic impacts could be shared via social media to help keep the community “in the loop”. To further mitigate negative feedback from the Community, we will ensure that the Contractor is in compliance with the Sound Control (7-03), Dust Control and Air Pollution Control (7-06) specifications. These requirements will be especially important when installing conduit and restoring roadways. We will monitor such activities in the field closely and notify the Contractor if additional effort is needed to meet the requirements. The Swinerton Team will:
Identify the stakeholders, particularly residents, businesses, schools, local transit, Contra Costa Water District and other utilit y companies to keep them informed of the construction schedule, scope of work, and sequence of activity. Ensure adequate outreach on traffic control. This includes lane closures, detours, the required Changeable Message Boards, City website alerts, and other notifications to the community and key stakeholders. Review the Contractor’s Public Notifications for compliance with the Special Provisions and confirm that all notifications hav e been delivered with the minimum one-week notice. We will follow up with the Contractor to confirm that the Police Department has been notified 24-hours prior t o posting No Parking signage and we will check with the Community regularly t o ensure their awareness of project work in their areas. Work with the Contractor to inform the local community and agencies of the work schedule and make sure that the Contractor is pr oviding access at all times for the residents and businesses per Sections 7-11, 7-12 and Special Provision SP-14. As there is a considerable amount of vehicular and pedestrian activity is these project areas, strict adherence to the Construction Schedule and T raffic Control Plans will be required. The Contractor shall provide updates regarding the construction pr ogress and sequence of work to be shared with the public and all stakeholders. Local schools may present challenges with pedestrian, bicycle, and bus traffic. We will work with the Contractor and school st aff members to coordinate the work with school hours and events to mitigate traffic congestion at peak times. Work with the Contractor to ensure that his schedule complies with Section SP-8-03 Order of Work, which requires potholing as the First Or der of Work to mitigate any utility conflicts. This shall be done prior to any trenching, boring or other e xcavating activities.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT / ADMINISTRATION
The Swinerton Team will provide all necessary construction management, administration, and onsite inspection per the RFP’s Scope of Services t o ensure the project is high quality, completed on time and within budget and with positive feedback from the pr oject stakeholders.
As part of the First Order of Work, we will review the Contractor’s submittals and submittal log, with particular attention to:
Contractor’s proposed schedule with respect to order of work, work locations, sequence, potential impacts to traffic and other critic al items including weather contingencies and backup equipment and suppliers. We will coordinate with the City, Contractor and Design Team regarding the material submittals and procurement lead times as some mat erials may have significant lead times (such as the fiber optic cable). Contractor’s work plans and traffic control plans for performing the following scopes of work:
WPCP and BMP Compliance
Demolition | Site Preparation
Concrete Placement – Restoration
Concrete Placement - ADA Ramps Restoration
HMA Placement - Restoration

Fiber Optic Installation and Splicing
Traffic System Improvements
Fiber Optic Equipment and Testing
Contractor’s details in their Traffic Control Plans (TCP) including pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular accessibility. Swinerton will take a proactive approach in meeting with the Contractor prior to working in each area to ensure that the y are abiding by the work hours and lane closure requirements. We will also meet regularly with their Superint endent to ensure that noise and dust control measures are in place prior to work starting each day. We will verify that all Traffic Control measures are in place per the approved Traffic Control Plan(s) prior to work starting.
We will confirm any lane closures or detours, as needed, and that arrow boards and changeable message boards are pr operly in place in advance of the work.
FIBER OPTIC INSTALLATION
We will coordinate the fiber optic submittals with the City and Design Team to ensure compliance with the plans and specifications, City expectations, and the proper products and materials are provided in the field. The submittals will be r eviewed by the Traffic Engineering department to ensure the products and materials meet their expectations. We will coordinate with the City and Contractor immediately after the contract award to determine any current challenges with mat erial lead times. Currently, fiber optic cable can have significant lead times. Swinerton will coordinate the fiber optic cabling and conduit installation with the City's Traffic Engineering and Information T echnology departments to ensure proper installation and meet the City's expectations. We will coordinate with the local utility companies and ensure the Contractor potholes all existing utilities to mitigate any utility conflicts prior t o horizontal boring or open-cut trenching. We will ensure the Contractor is in compliance with traffic control requirements, lane closures, detours and coordinates the work with the loc al communities.
We will coordinate the fiber optic installation, splicing and connections, termination panel, and pull boxes, with the City to ensur e that all fiber optic work meets the City's expectations. Swinerton holds regular meetings with the Traffic Engineering department and Contractor to ensure installation of all fiber optic conduit, conduit sweeps, pull bo xes, cabling, inner-duct, splice enclosures, termination panels, form-factor pluggables, ethernet swit ches and all testing is completed in accordance with the Special Provisions, plans and City's expectations. We will conduct field meetings to ensure that all splicing, connections, terminations, and testing is performed with the concurr ence of the City's Traffic Engineering department.
CONCRETE and PAVEMENT RESTORATION
We will conduct a Preconstruction Meeting with the Contractor to discuss the requirements in Sections SP-15 Portland Cement Concr ete and SP-18 Existing Highway Facilities to be sure that during fiber optic installation (conduit, cable and pull bo xes, etc) the Contractor understands the requirements for concrete and pavement restoration. Field inspections will ensure that new concrete and pavement are placed properly with respect to the approved mix designs, subgr ade preparation, placement means and methods, conforms, joints, compaction (HMA), and finish. We will verify the proper limits of demolition and replacement to make sure that the concrete has been properly removed and r eplaced (to the appropriate joint).
We will verify proper placement of AC patches from roadway excavations and AC plugs in front of curb and gutter as needed.

PROJECT STABILIZATION AGREEMENT
Swinerton has managed over 10 projects for the City of Concord that included the City’s Project Stabilization Agreement (PSA).
Not only does Swinerton and its subconsultant(s) acknowledge and sign the Agreement to be Bound, but we are very familiar with the entire process and will lead the team through the steps with the Trades Council and Labor Unions. We will coordinate with the Trades Council to set up the Pre-Job Meetings and will ensure that the General Contractor and all subcontractors provide the completed Pre-Job forms, the signed Agreements to be Bound and attend the Pre-Job Meeting(s). We will also ensure that the Contractor and all subcontractors complete the labor usage forms during throughout the duration of the project. Those forms will be completed and submitted by the Contractor as part of the close-out process.
ANTICIPATED INVOLVEMENT WITH CITY STAFF
Swinerton’s goal is to keep the City regularly informed of the project progress and to advise staff promptly of important events or changes (i.e. avoid surprises). We envision Engineering staff involvement to be intermittent during the week, with attendance at the weekly progress meetings and occasional field visits if City decision-making is needed for work that differs from the planned scope.
We also will coordinate with the City's Traffic Engineering Division and Information Technology Department during the fiber optic cable and conduit installation and the traffic signal modifications to ensure the City receives its desired results. At the same time, with our experience with the City's protocols and procedures, we are able to work independently and get the job done without taking up valuable staff time. As discussed earlier, communication is the key to project success and Swinerton will maintain the flow of information with the Contractor, Design Team and the City Staff so that each party is informed on progress, and a contributor to any potential challenges and solutions.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION / DOCUMENT CONTROL
PROJECT DOCUMENTATION. Swinerton will provide all the construction contract administration for the City of Concord’s Clayton Road Traffic Operation Improvements Phase 2 Project. Accurate and complete records of events, meetings and decisions made throughout the course of the project are critical in reporting and responding to informational requests. It is also essential when responding to requests for additional time and money from contractors. Thorough documentation will make it easier for our team to determine a fair adjudication to any such request.
Project documentation may include:
Contractor, A&E and Other Consultant Billings
Field Reports / Work Directives
Memos and Design Clarifications
All Correspondence, including Email
RFI’s and Submittals
Project Team Directories
Meeting Agendas | Minutes
Daily Reports
CalTrans LAPM Forms
Punch Lists
Weekly Statement of Working Days
MONTHLY PAYMENT APPLICATIONS
Monthly payment requisitions will be based on work “put-in-place” and will be verified on a bid item basis. Our primary review will be to ascertain that the work has been completed, and that nonconforming work, if any, has been corrected; that relevant financial, legal and administrative procedures are complied with, together with other necessary monthly documentation. We will provide quantity take-offs for each bid item being billed to satisfy the CalTrans progress payment requirements.
CHANGE ORDER MANAGEMENT
A good understanding of the construction process is a prime ingredient for success in claims avoidance, requiring the participation of all project team members throughout the life of the project. Claim mitigation starts in the preconstruction phase of the project by ensuring that complete and accurate documents are issued for bidding purposes. We review proposed design changes and seek alternates, if possible, to eliminate and/or mitigate any extra costs. In addition, we maintain and record in detail daily project operations, particularly with regard to the schedule, manpower productivity, deliveries and any potential work delays. All change order requests will be logged in and tracked as described above.
Depending on the nature of the change, an impact assessment will be performed. Should a change order or potential claim arise, this review will be the basis for development of a course of action for resolving the potential claim. Regarding valid change order requests, we will prepare a fair cost estimate as a basis of negotiation and will propose a recommendation for the final negotiated amount. Rather than delaying settlement discussions to the end of the project, we pursue a fair resolution in a timely fashion during the course of construction.
15.Page 45 of 58
Swinerton | Consultant'a Approach to Scope of Services and Project Understanding 04 CONSULTANTS APPROACH TO SCOPE OF
SERVICES AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
PROGRESS REPORTING
Swinerton will prepare regular reports, if requested, detailing project progress, status on budget, change orders, RFI, submittals, log of pending issues, CPM schedule updates, and other project information including progress photos. Swinerton will also assist in preparation of executive reports, if needed, for updating the City of Concord, City Council, and will be available to assist with presentations as required.
PRECONSTRUCTION | WEEKLY MEETINGS
Swinerton will conduct a Preconstruction (Kick-off) Meeting with the City, Contractor and key stakeholders to ensure clear and thorough communication of the project’s requirements, expectations, and the City's objectives. We will discuss the Contract Documents and confirm compliance with all requirements, including any state or federal regulations (if applicable). Conducting the Preconstruction Meeting will reveal any project issues, constraints, or challenges related to the field conditions, project plans and specifications, budget or schedule. This will allow the project team to identify solutions early and avoid further issues during construction. We will also chair weekly progress meetings with the City's representative, the design team, the Contractor and all necessary parties. Project procedures, progress, inspections, challenges, scheduling, public notifications and any other issues will be discussed during these meetings. Meeting minutes will be produced and distributed to all attendees and other designated individuals accordingly.
MATERIALS TESTING AND SPECIAL INSPECTIONS
Swinerton will provide daily inspection of all construction work and review of materials delivered prior to installation or placement for compliance with the Contract Documents. Daily reports will be prepared detailing the activities planned and actual work performed, workers and equipment on site, hours worked, materials delivered, field communications, issues that arise, and photos of work performed. In addition, Swinerton will provide quantity inspection and measurement for progress payments.
Swinerton's subconsultant, Ninyo and Moore, will provide special inspections, sampling and materials testing. The Special Inspector will be called for inspection of the subgrade, concrete and trench compaction along with other items of work as required. They will perform inspection, sampling and materials testing per CalTrans requirements and standards. Ninyo and Moore will provide field daily reports and material test results in a timely manner and will immediately call out any deficiencies or non-compliance items. Continuous communication and coordination with the Contractor and Design Team will allow for quick adjustments or corrections without impacting the project schedule or quality. Ninyo and Moore has provided special inspections and/or materials testing services on a number of Swinerton projects.
QUALITY CONTROL / QUALITY ASSURANCE
Construction quality begins before the Design Team begins any design work. Quality starts with the City's, Caltrans’ standards and guidelines and ensuring that the City's General Requirements and Special Provisions prescribe quality as an achievement to be accomplished during construction. If the construction plans and specifications do not have quality built into them, it will be very difficult to achieve quality throughout the construction process. Swinerton and Ninyo and Moore will review the project and will ensure that the contractor is in compliance with the Contract Documents. Towards this goal, we are committed to quality, and have a corporate champion dedicated to construction quality. The role of our Quality champion is to ensure that our major projects and assignments have recommended QA/QC specifications, that projects have quality assurance plans, and that staff is properly trained.
This commitment to quality includes our Intranet that is built around sharing - sharing lessons learned, recommended practices, training and templates to achieve quality during construction. Every employee has full and complete access to all of our resources and tools from our Teams across the Company. These best practices allow our Team to bring to City of Concord the lessons learned from our many Teams. For these projects, our Inspectors expertise and knowledge in construction and site improvements will be instrumental in ensuring that quality is adhered through all phases of the work.
SAFETY
Our experience has shown us that a true commitment to safety is essential to the success of a project. Swinerton corporate safety officer will review and audit the contractor's safety plan and make appropriate recommendations. Each member of the contracting team will be required to have a company safety program that is implemented in the field. Swinerton was awarded the ‘Star’ status by OSHA as the First Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) participant allowing it to self-monitor its projects for safety.
PROJECT CLOSE-OUT AND COMMISSIONING
During project close-out, we will administer the preparation of Certificates of Substantial and Final Completion (if applicable), including any necessary certifications or occupancy procedures of regulatory authorities. We will review all guarantees and warranties as required by the contract documents and verify they cover all work. We will receive and check all releases of claims required prior to issuance of the final certification of completion and satisfaction of any condition present to final payment. We will determine the value of any incorrect work and make recommendations on correcting the work, if necessary. We will work closely with the City Traffic Engineering and Engineering Department to ensure proper completion of traffic systems programming, commissioning and as-needed training are performed.

On June 8, 2021, the City Council adopted the mid-cycle adjustments to the CIP Budget for Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22, which included the initial funding of $3,000,000 from Measure V Funds for the project.

construction management, inspection, and materials testing services. Staff and Consor negotiated the scope of work, and cost for the services and agreed upon $330,284.07 as a fair and reasonable compensation for the services needed to complete the construction phase of this project. Staff has included a 10% contingency of $33,028.41, bringing the total potential contract amount to $363,312.48, should the full contingency be necessary.
On September 13, 2016, the City Council approved a Citywide Project Stabilization Agreement with the Contra Costa Building & Trades Council for City projects with a construction contract valued at over $750,000. Project No. 2582 will be subject to the requirements of the Project Stabilization Agreement as the estimated constructions costs exceeded $750,000. Consor and RMA Group, Consor’s material testing sub- consultant, have both agreed to be bound to the Citywide Project Stabilization Agreement for material testing during construction.
Financial Impact
The current total budget for this project is $3,700,000 and is funded by Measure V (Fund 407). There are sufficient funds to provide for construction management, inspection, and materials testing services, and staff oversight.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15378, and Public Resources Code Section 21065, awarding a Professional Services Agreement is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it does not constitute a “project”, does not commit the City to a definite course of action, does not constitute discretionary approval of a specific project, and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and in the alternative is exempt from CEQA. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.
