================================================================ ** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.20) or 13658 ($12.90). Please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210

A. Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under an interim or post audit of this AGREEMENT that is not disposed of by AGREEMENT, shall be reviewed by LOCAL AGENCY’S Chief Financial Officer.
B. Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of the final audit report, CONSULTANT may request a review by LOCAL AGENCY’S Chief Financial Officer of unresolved audit issues. The request for review will be submitted in writing.
C. Neither the pendency of a dispute nor its consideration by LOCAL AGENCY will excuse CONSULTANT from full and timely performance, in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT.
D. CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review. If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR Part 31 and other related laws and regulations.
In the instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s work papers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and
ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR {e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines}is received and approved by IOAI.
Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate.
b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.
2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL
AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.
ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING
A. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the CONSULTANT of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

B. For purchase of any item, service, or consulting work not covered in CONSULTANT’s approved Cost Proposal and exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000), with prior authorization by LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator, three competitive quotations must be submitted with the request, or the absence of bidding must be adequately justified.

1. CONSULTANT shall maintain an inventory of all nonexpendable property. Nonexpendable property is defined as having a useful life of at least two years and an acquisition cost of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more.

LOCAL AGENCY procedures; and credit LOCAL AGENCY in an amount equal to the sales price. If CONSULTANT elects to keep the equipment, fair market value shall be determined at CONSULTANT’s expense, on the basis of a competent independent appraisal of such equipment. Appraisals shall be obtained from an appraiser mutually agreeable to by LOCAL AGENCY and CONSULTANT, if it is determined to sell the equipment, the terms and conditions of such sale must be approved in advance by LOCAL AGENCY.

Such penalties shall be withheld by LOCAL AGENCY from payments then due. CONSULTANT is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a Subconsultant to comply with this section.
E. When prevailing wage rates apply, the CONSULTANT is responsible for verifying compliance with certified payroll requirements. Invoice payment will not be made until the invoice is approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator.
F. Penalty
1. The CONSULTANT and any of its Subconsultants shall comply with Labor Code §1774 and §1775. Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, the CONSULTANT and any Subconsultant shall forfeit to the LOCAL AGENCY a penalty of not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT or by its Subconsultant in violation of the requirements of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code §§1770 to 1780, inclusive.
2. The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages. A mistake, inadvertence, or neglect in failing to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages is not excusable if the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant had knowledge of the obligations under

4. If a worker employed by a Subconsultant on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the Subconsultant, the prime CONSULTANT of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the prime CONSULTANT had knowledge of that failure of the Subconsultant to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime CONSULTANT fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
a. The AGREEMENT executed between the CONSULTANT and the Subconsultant for the performance of work on public works projects shall include a copy of the requirements in Labor Code §§ 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.

d. Prior to making final payment to the Subconsultant for work performed on the public works project, the CONSULTANT shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the Subconsultant that the Subconsultant had paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the Subconsultant’s employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Labor Code §1813.

6. If LOCAL AGENCY determines that employees of a Subconsultant were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if LOCAL AGENCY did not retain sufficient money under the AGREEMENT to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the CONSULTANT shall withhold an amount of moneys due the Subconsultant sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by LOCAL AGENCY.
G. Hours of Labor

The CONSULTANT shall forfeit, as a penalty to the LOCAL AGENCY, twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT or any of its Subconsultants for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular §§1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, except that work performed by employees in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours in any week, at not less than one and one-half (1.5) times the basic rate of pay, as provided in §1815.
H. Employment of Apprentices

ARTICLE XVI NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE A. The CONSULTANT’s signature affixed herein and dated shall constitute a certification under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the CONSULTANT has, unless exempt, complied with the nondiscrimination program requirements of Gov. Code §12990 and 2 CCR § 8103.
B. During the performance of this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT and its subconsultants shall not deny the AGREEMENT’s benefits to any person on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status, nor shall they unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status.

General Services Administration are to be determined by FHWA.
ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 11%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O 2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AG REEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. C
ONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of AGREEMENTs financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The LOCAL AGENCY, CONSULTANT or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTLANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the LOCAL AGENCY deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible
E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from LOCAL AGENCY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting LOCAL AGENCY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f).
If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F
: Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subconsultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L
. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.
ARTICLE XIX INSURANCE

RE: East Downtown Concord PDA Access and Safe Route to Transit – City Project No. 2457 Request for a Change Order No. 3
Dear Kevin:
Pursuant to Caltrans request that they will need to review the properties that are enclosed by a historical boundary on the APE, and determine if any properties are exempt from evaluation per Section 106PA. The Consultant provided a memo outlining which properties are exempt and with justification. This included time addressing City/Caltrans comments. Based on the historical boundary there was a total of 14 homes that needed to be evaluated to determine if they could be exempt and all the lots were determined to be exempt.
Enclosed for your consideration are the invoices by Doug Herring & Associates, from August- November, 2022, capturing the additional information requested by Caltrans. This change order also includes the time for construction support that was billed to cover some of the HRER support mentioned above using our latest bill rates.
Per the enclosed Fee Proposal, we are requesting an approval of $44,356 on a time and material basis with not to exceed limits.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarification.
Very Truly Yours,
Ruggeri-Jensen-Azar

To: City Council/City Council Sitting as the Local Reuse Authority From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Prepared by: Guy Bjerke, Director of Economic Development and Base Reuse [email protected]
(925) 671-3076
Subject: Considering the amendment of the Professional Services Agreements with Burke Williams & Sorenson, Jarvis Fay, and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders for various consultant services in the amounts of $17,120.42, $45,026, and $20,935, respectively, creating new not-to-exceed contract amounts of $247,130.42, $86,026, and $51,935, respectively, for work related to the review and consideration of a Term Sheet and site wide permitting work supporting the redevelopment of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS), with a new end date for each Agreement of March 31, 2024; and
authorizing the Executive Director of the LRA to execute the amendments in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
(Original combined PSAs $102,000 from LRA Loan Reserve
(General Fund); these amendments $162,156.42 from the
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) Deposit to the LRA by BCUS Acquisitions LLC (Brookfield) and $20,935.00 from the LRA Loan Reserve (General Fund.)
CEQA: Not a project/exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c),
15061(b)(3), and/or 15378.
Report in Brief
The 11 Professional Service Agreements (PSA) approved by the LRA for the Fiscal Year 2023/24 last June were focused on site-wide efforts including remediation monitoring or resource permitting and Master Developer selection activities funded by
4.g4.g4.g4.g
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
April 23, 2024
the LRA Loan Reserve balance. Those PSAs were set at constrained funding levels and the term of each agreement ended on January 31, 2024.
Three consultants performed work at LRA request that exceeded their original PSAs “not-to-exceed” limits. The work was related to the negotiation of the Term Sheet with Brookfield and site-wide resource permitting work. The work will be paid for from the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) deposit made by Brookfield and LRA Loan Reserve. The combined increase in “not-to-exceed” amounts for the three consultants is $183,091.42. See Table 1 in the Analysis section of this report for the allocation of the amendment funding. The term of each agreement will be extended to March 31, 2024.
These changes will allow the consultants to be paid for work already completed that was performed at the request of the LRA.
Recommended Action
Approve three (3) Professional Service Agreements amendments as listed in Table 1 (found in Analysis); authorize the Executive Director of the LRA to execute the amendments in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
Background
The LRA entered PSAs with consultants last June before a new Master Developer was selected and an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement was reached. The PSAs were funded by LRA Loan Reserves and conservatively capped to preserve project resources.
A Master Developer, Brookfield, was selected in August 2023 and entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement providing a $250,000 deposit to pay for LRA costs associated with negotiation of a Term Sheet. Brookfield will provide the LRA with an additional $113,712.88 deposit to cover the additional expenses related to the negotiation of the Term Sheet.
The PSAs of three consultants (Burke Williams & Sorenson, Jarvis Fay, and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders) require amendments so that their additional work related to the negotiation of the Term Sheet and/or site-wide resource permitting can be paid. The efforts related to the Term Sheet negotiations will be paid for from the ENA deposit received from Brookfield and the site wide permitting work will be paid from the LRA Loan Reserve.
Analysis
The requested funding increases ensures that the work already performed by, and required of, the listed consultants through March 31, 2024, can be paid.
New PSAs with LRA consultants covering work during the Disposition and Development Agreement Stage (i.e., work in support of Navy negotiations, Specific Plan development, Environmental Impact Report development, etc.) will be brought before
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.g
April 23, 2024
Council at a future meeting and those PSAs will have a starting date of April 1, 2024 and be paid for under Brookfield’s Reimbursement Agreement with the LRA.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), and/or 15378, this activity 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 as it falls within the “common sense” 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.” This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Staff Report
Date: April 23, 2024
To: City Council/City Council Sitting as the Local Reuse Authority From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Prepared by: Guy Bjerke, Director of Economic Development & Base Reuse [email protected]
925-671-3076
Subject: Considering the adoption of 12 Professional or Legal Services Agreements (Agreements) for various consultant services for the Local Reuse Authority’s (LRA) work related to the
redevelopment of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,633,594 through March 31, 2025; and authorizing the Executive Director of the LRA to execute the agreements in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. (Funded through Reimbursement Agreement
Deposits to LRA by BCUS Acquisitions LLC (Brookfield).) CEQA: Not a project/exempt under to Public Resources Code Section 21065, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3) and/or 15378.
Report in Brief
The Local Reuse Authority (LRA) has several primary responsibilities:
1. Oversees work related to the transfer of former Concord Naval Weapons Station property from the U.S. Navy to local recipients;
2. Monitors the Navy’s clean-up of contaminated parcels;
3. Obtains site-wide environmental permits from resource agencies;
4. Assists and supports the Master Developer on the writing of and coordination with the Infrastructure Master Plan and Specific Plan; and
5. Manages the environmental analysis used to determine appropriate mitigations for project impacts.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
April 23, 2024
These responsibilities are carried out by both city staff and outside, professional consultants working on behalf of the LRA.
Responsibilities #4 and #5 were deferred until the LRA had chosen a new Master Developer and entered into a Term Sheet with the new project partner. While the agreements with the new Master Developer were under negotiation and subsequently adopted, an administrative reimbursement agreement was prepared and routed for signatures between the LRA and Brookfield to fund the next (Development and Disposition Agreement (DDA)) Stage of work (including the Specific Plan/EIR). As stated in the June 27, 2023 staff report to Council/LRA, staff indicated the LRA would return to Council with additional consulting contracts for the DDA Stage of work including new scopes and budgets for required work by existing and new consultants to be paid for by the Master Developer.
Staff is currently moving forward with the first year of contracts and budgets based on Brookfield’s anticipated initial focus for Year One of the project including:
1. Negotiation and preparation of the EDC Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) with the Navy;
2. Study and preparation of the grading and infrastructure network in preparing an infrastructure master plan to inform the Draft Specific Plan;
3. Continued resource permitting and re-engagement with the regulatory authorities; and
4. Remediation monitoring.
Community engagement, of equal importance, will be led by Brookfield consultants and supported by City staff.
The 12 Agreements covered in this staff report are summarized in Table 1. These agreements are focused on specific activities (i.e. EDC MOA negotiation, Infrastructure Master Plan support, Remediation monitoring, Site-wide Resource Permitting) necessary to keep forward momentum through the DDA Stage of the project, as outlined in the Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate (ENA). A summary of the scopes of work for each consultant is found under the Analysis section of this report. The source of the funding for these agreements will come from the master developer for the period commencing April 1, 2024 and extending through March 31, 2025. Staff anticipates returning to Council every March with future agreements for subsequent years.
Recommended Action
Approve the 12 Agreements as listed in Table 1 (found in Analysis); authorize the Executive Director of the LRA to execute the Agreements, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.h
April 23, 2024
Background
For ease of tracking for the public and the council, LRA staff have consolidated the proposed new Agreements into one staff report. This format provides a comprehensive overview of the LRA’s planned work for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-24 (April 1 – June 30), and the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2024-25, a total one-year period, intended to initiate the DDA Stage of the project. Staff has already been coordinating with Brookfield in setting up initial meetings regarding sitewide permitting and infrastructure with local and regional service providers.
The LRA entered into Agreements with consultants last June before a new Master Developer was selected and an ENA was reached. The Agreements were funded by LRA Loan Reserves and conservatively capped to preserve project resources. The Agreements of five consultants required an amendment so that their additional efforts related to the ongoing negotiation of the Term Sheet could be paid for by the LRA and those amendments were approved on December 5, 2023. The LRA is also considering Agreement amendments at their meeting on April 23, 2024 to close out and pay for additional work related to negotiation of the Term Sheet and site-wide resource permitting through March 31, 2024. Those efforts will be paid for from the ENA deposit and additional funds received from the Master Developer to reimburse the City and LRA Loan reserves, as explained in the staff report for that LRA action.
Staff is not “rolling over” unspent balances as of March 31, 2024, from existing contracts or amending existing agreements to extend their term. Rather, the Agreements under review this evening, are new agreements focused on specific work scopes to support the initial work (Year One only) of the DDA Stage of the project and continue with LRA responsibilities which will be reimbursed by the Master Developer. The term of each agreement starts on April 1, 2024 and ends on March 31, 2025.
All of the consulting teams included in these Agreement requests have demonstrated expertise in their field and a familiarity with the Reuse Project’s goals and objectives.
Table 1 provides a consolidated list of consultants who have provided:
1. Their focused work scope description.
2. The budgeted “not to exceed” contract amounts through March 31, 2025; and
3. Rate sheets for each consultant.
Please note that Table 1 only lists the proposed Agreement expenditures for the LRA and does not include staff time and other components of the LRA Project budget.
Contracts with each consulting firm are attached to this staff report (Attachments 1-12).
A comprehensive summary of Project spending (September 28, 2023 memo for Fiscal Year ending 2023/2024) is found in the Program Reports Folder (Subfolder-Use of City Loans) in the Document Library of the Concord Reuse Project website found here:
