Approve a new building lease agreement with Kidango for the city-owned parcel located at 2750 Parkside Circle, known as Assessor Parcel #111-170-002-5 for a monthly rent of $575 plus ten cents ($0.10) per square foot of rentable space annual adjustment from the second year through the initial term of five years plus and including one extension option of five years, for a total of ten years, authorize the City Manager to execute the lease in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
Background
Kidango is the largest provider of preschool, operating 50+ childcare centers in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. The organization provides families with quality options at affordable prices for preschool and childcare. The organization offers early intervention and early childhood behavioral health specialists as part of their program.
These professionals work in a child’s classroom and/or their home, depending upon needs. Family advocates and enrollment specialists help families access services, such as affordable health care, dental care, housing, job training, and other supports.
Kidango leases the City building located at 2750 Parkside Circle, which is adjacent to Baldwin Park and the City’s Senior Center, at a rate of $375 per month ($4,500 per year). The company operates a childcare facility in this building, providing onsite services to low-income families. The existing three-year lease with one renewal term of three years commenced on January 1, 2020, and expired on December 31, 2025. The lease is now on a month-to-month basis.
Analysis
Kidango desires to enter into a new lease agreement with the City at a rate of $575 per month ($6,900 per year) with an annual adjustment of $0.10/sf from Year two through Year 10. The new lease rate is within the range of other lease agreements that Kidango has with other Cities in the region, and it will allow the tenant to continue its operation of a child early learning and care center serving low-income families within our community.
By approving this five-year lease with one five-year extension option, Kidango will have better access to State funding to assist them in providing these services to the communities in Concord.
Financial Impact
The proposed new building lease includes a monthly rental of $575 ($6,900 per year) plus ten cents ($0.10) per square foot annual adjustment from the second year through the initial term of five years plus and including one extension option of five years, for a total of ten years.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(2), 15061(b)(3), and/or 15378, award of this contract 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

15 its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary.

As used in subparagraph (iii), above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank at the time of award. The term "rent" as used in this Article shall be deemed to be and to mean rent to be paid pursuant to Article 2 and all other monetary sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
7.4 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default
At any time after Tenant is in default or material breach of this Lease, after the expiration of all applicable cure periods, Landlord may cure such default or breach at Tenant's cost.

Landlord shall be deemed to be in default of this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any provision of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that it cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion.

If any portion of the Premises is taken so that there does not remain a portion of the Premises susceptible of occupation for the Specified Use hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a part of all the Premises be so taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right to compensation or damages to which Tenant may be entitled by reason of any such taking, provided, however, Tenant shall be permitted to pursue from the Condemnor costs incurred by Tenant for relocating, loss of value of fixtures and improvements and loss of leasehold and goodwill, to the extent such recovery does not reduce the Landlord’s recovery for such Taking.

If damages occur that causes a partial destruction of the Premises during the Term from any cause and repairs can be made within ninety (90) days from the date of the damage under the applicable laws and regulations of governmental authorities, Landlord shall repair the damage promptly, at Landlord’s expense. Such partial destruction will not void this Lease, except that Tenant will be entitled to a proportional reduction in Rent while such repairs are being made, unless the condition requiring such repairs was caused by Tenant, or its employees, agents or contractors. The proportional reduction in Rent will be calculated by multiplying Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet in portion of the Premises located in the Building that are unusable by Tenant and the denominator of which is the total number of square feet of the portion of the Premises located in the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as the result of any damage to the Premises, Tenant determines that the continuing use of the Premises as a childcare center is no longer practical, Tenant may terminate this Lease and all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder by so notifying Landlord within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such damage.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
April 28, 2026
Background
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Concord Police Department to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.
On April 12, 2022, the Concord City Council approved Ordinance No. 22-6 approving Concord Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy, as well as its attached inaugural Military Equipment Report and Inventory. On April 22, 2025, the Concord City Council adopted a resolution to accept the CPD Military Equipment Report for 2024 and Inventory for 2025 and approved the continued use of that equipment.
Analysis
As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the Concord Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.
As set forth in the Policy, the Concord Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Concord Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.
The annual approval of the policy, report, and inventory continues the use of the equipment currently in the Police Department’s inventory by authorized and trained personnel when the use is necessary to maintain public safety. Additionally, approval of these documents will enable the Police Department to proceed with planned equipment purchases in the coming year and incorporate them into the adopted inventory. These purchases include two additional interior flight drones and the replacement of rifles that have reached the end of their service life.
Financial Impact
Approval of this resolution includes the purchase of two (2) Skydio R10 Team Kits, each containing two (2) interior flight drones, with a one (1) time cost of $19,990 before any applicable taxes with an annual operating cost of $7,200, and ten (10) M4-Style AR-15 shoulder-fired rifles, chambered in .223Rem (5.56 NATO) at a cost of $20,000. All necessary funds are available in the existing Police Department budget.

On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Concord Police Department to have a military equipment use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring or using items that it defined as military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.
On April 12, 2022, the Concord City Council approved Ordinance 22-6 approving Concord Police Department Policy #706: Military Equipment Use Policy.

Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of the defined military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.
As set forth in the policy, the Concord Police Department retains and employs limited equipment that falls under this legislation and subsequent law to safeguard its community. Concord Police Department officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of this equipment approved under the Policy.

Concord Police Department Military Equipment Report for 2026 24 Community Concerns and Complaints
In some instances, the possession and use of military equipment may cause questions and/or concerns for members of the community. It is vitally important that community members’ questions and/or complaints regarding the Concord Police Department’s possession and use of military equipment are addressed.
The Concord Police Department is committed to full and fair investigations of community complaints. As such, the Department has sound internal procedures for thorough and impartial investigations of community complaints. Resolving complaints in a fair, impartial, and expeditious manner will ensure the consistent high level of integrity and efficiency maintained by the Department.
In March of 2022, the Concord Police Department published its proposed Military Equipment Use Policy on its website along with its first annual report. It also held a community meeting on March 24, 2022, to discuss its new proposed policy and presented its inventory of equipment.
On September 27, 2022, the Concord Police Department reported to the Concord City Council and community about its use of UAV’s since the program went live in March 2022.
In March of 2026, The Concord Police Department published its report on the use of Military Equipment on its website and held a community meeting to discuss the report and solicit community feedback on April 1, 2026.
Community concerns and complaints can be received via the Department’s website, in- person at the police department or in the field during police contacts, telephone, emails and social media.
Since the adoption of Ordinance 22-6, CPD Policy 706 and 2022 Report, CPD has received no complaints and has had no internal investigations related to the use of the military equipment.
Concord Police Department Military Equipment Report for 2026 25 Crisis Response Unit Usage
The Crisis Response Unit (CRU) is comprised of two specialized teams: The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) and the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT). The unit has been established to provide specialized support in handling critical field operations where intense negotiations and/or special tactical deployment methods beyond the capacity of patrol officers appear to be necessary. While referred to as different “teams” both SWAT and CNT are in fact components of the CRU.
The Concord Police Department SWAT team is a designated part -time unit of personnel that is specifically trained and equipped to work as a coordinated team to resolve critical incidents that are so hazardous, complex, or unusual that they may exceed the capabilities of patrol officers or investigative units. This includes, but is not limited to: hostage taking, barricaded persons, snipers, terrorist acts and other high- risk incidents. This team may be used to serve high-risk warrants, both search and arrest, where public and officer safety issues warrant the use of such a unit.
The Concord Police Department Crisis Negotiations Team provides skilled verbal communicators who may be utilized to attempt to de-escalate and effect surrender in critical situations where suspects have taken hostages, barricaded themselves, or have suicidal tendencies, or other situations where deemed appropriate.

Concord Police Department Military Equipment Report for 2026 27 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Drone) Flights
During 2025, the Concord Police Department operated 19 UAVs, which are also known as small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), or more commonly “drones,” on active calls for service.
These flights fall under CPD’s Policy 606.
All CPD officers piloting UAVs are licensed and fly under the authority of FAA 14 CFR Part 107 (Commercial Operators). During 2025, CPD had 16 UAV operators.
During 2025, the following UAV were in CPD’s inventory:
Qty Brand Model Use
3 Skydio X10 Drone as First Responder/ Exterior Search/ Overwatch 6 Autel EVO
2/Max4T
Exterior Search
2 Brinc Lemur Interior Search with 2-way communication 2 Brinc Lemur 2 Interior search w/2-way communication + glass breaker 4 Sky Hero Loki MkII Interior Search
2 Emax TinyHawk III Interior Training
The different types of UAVs fulfill specific requirements based upon the type of flight.
A prime example is the Skdyio X10, capable of remote flight by the RTIC Detective of DFR Trained Pilot, to respond in conjunction with Officers on the ground, allowing for faster response times and increased arrest rates and Officer Safety. For instance, the Autel EVO 2 is an exterior search drone that can operate outside and complies with FAA guidelines and is able to navigate with wind and other obstacles encountered outdoors.
The Brinc Lemur/Lemur2 is designed to fly indoors and allows for 2-way communication between officers and persons inside a structure, while the Loki MkII is much smaller and can fly in tight quarters such as underneath a sofa or bed.
UAVs are rapidly evolving in design with the technology and features changing and being updated regularly. For CPD to maintain a current and robust program, it will need to adopt new technology as it becomes available and cycle out the old, with obsolete units either being traded-in to the manufacturer or relegated to a training platform.
Many single incidents or calls for service have multiple flights due to the device’s battery life or a mechanical issue. This list does not include training flights, test flights, or public demonstrations, but flights on actual calls for service.

Report in Brief
The Public Works Department has completed a formal, competitive bidding process to perform landscape maintenance services and recommends awarding three separate Maintenance Service Agreements to Elite Maintenance & Tree Service, Gachina Landscape Management Inc., and Medallion Landscape Management, LLC. These agreements continue the City’s use of professional landscape maintenance firms for the maintenance of street medians, right-of-way areas, and certain small parks. Service levels remain consistent with current service levels.
Recommended Action
1. Approve three Maintenance Services Agreements for landscape maintenance services for a term of up to seven years each, with the option of three one-year extensions, at annual not-to-exceed amounts as follows:
a. EMTS Inc., dba Elite Maintenance & Tree Service in the not-to-exceed amount of $289,868 per year, increasing by not more than 5% per year solely at the City’s discretion, to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 1; b. Gachina Landscape Management, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $105,751 per year, increasing by not more than 5% per year solely at the City’s discretion, to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 2; c. Medallion Landscape Management, LLC in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,269 per year, increasing by not more than 5% per year solely at the City’s discretion, to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 3; d. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contracts in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and
e. Make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
Background
Maintenance, repair and upgrade work for the City’s landscaped areas are accomplished through several means: City staff work, contracts for maintenance, contracts for repair work and competitively bid public works projects. The Department of Public Works maintains landscaping for over 770 acres of parks and open spaces, including 91 medians, and 875 curb miles of roadways throughout the City. The City has historically utilized third-party landscape maintenance service firms to maintain street medians, certain right-of-way areas, and small parks.
The Public Works Department has existing landscape maintenance agreements with professional landscaping firms to provide these types of services. The current agreement with the professional landscape maintenance firm, for which the services described in this Council action are performed, has been in place since 2018 and is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The areas of service for these contracts are included as Attachments to each service agreement along with the maps showing the City’s landscape maintenance areas.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d

Analysis
The City’s existing contractor performs this work at a base price of 500,000 per year.
Through refinements to the existing scope of work staff was successful at obtaining highly competitive pricing of $495,888, or $4,112 less than the current base price. The proposed agreements are performance/outcome based, meaning that service frequencies (i.e., weekly, monthly, annual) are not prescribed to the contractor. Instead, clear standards are set for the health and appearance of landscapes, with penalties for non-conformance.
Staff reviewed the proposals from seven contractors and conducted reference checks on each one. Two of the proposed contractors were eliminated through reference checks and staff interviewed the remaining five proposers to review their proposals, to understand if they had minimum contract thresholds, and to get further information on their service capacity. During the interview process, Elite, Gachina, and Medallion all scored well, and staff has confidence in their ability to deliver a high level of service to our community. All three proposers are licensed, insured, and have highly qualified staff to safely perform these services.
The City-wide maintenance areas and contract amount that staff recommends be awarded to each contractor, based on lowest price per service line, are:
1. EMTS, Inc., dba Elite Maintenance & Tree Service in the not-to-exceed amount of $289,868 per year to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 1 defined in Attachment 2 as Street Median Sites – Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Bailey Road Pathway, and up to $60,000 in City-directed services for various maintenance services and repairs.
2. Gachina Landscape Management, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $105,751 per year to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 2 defined in Attachment 4 as Bart Park, Rick Seers Park, Bayview Circle Park, Olivera Road Medians, Iron Horse Park, Parking Garage on Colfax, Parking Garage on Pacheco, Centre Concord, Kirkwood Pathway, PG7E Substation, Bio-swale on Galindo, Willow Pass sidewalk bump outs, Bio- swale at Civic Center, and up to $60,000 in City-directed services for various maintenance services and repairs.
3. Medallion Landscape Management, LLC in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,269 per year to provide landscape maintenance services for Area 3 defined in Attachment 6 as Lovell Court, Monument Corridor Trail, the Skate Park, Pine Hollow Drive, Stanford Street, Bio-swale on Monument, Concord Boulevard planter strips at Ramblas, Concord Boulevard planter strips at Alicante, Bio-swale at Hillcrest Park, Bio-swale at Todos Santos Plaza, and up to $60,000 in City-directed services for various maintenance services and repairs.

Procurement Process
The City completed a competitive solicitation as required by City policy. Staff issued a public posting for Request for Proposals (RFP) on December 11, 2025, to identify a short-list of the most qualified contractors to provide these services. The RFP was advertised on the City’s procurement website, public purchasing, and was sent to several well-known contractors in this field. Proposals were submitted via the Public Purchase Portal on January 14, 2026, and the City received complete qualification packets, from five potential contractors. Three contractors were found to meet the minimum qualifications and were invited to interview with a panel of City staff. All three interviewed contractors were scored and ranked by Public Works staff based on criteria publicized in the RFP. Based on the rates received and ensuring the City receives the best value, staff proposes awarding the following Maintenance Service Agreements described above.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(2), 15061(b)(3), 15273, and/or 15378, award of these contracts is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, award of these contracts is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and/or 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as they involve landscaping maintenance. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis. Individual projects will undergo CEQA analysis as necessary.

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on July 1, 2026, between the City of Concord, a California municipal corporation (“CITY”) and EMTS, Inc., dba Elite Maintenance & Tree Service, a Corporation, 365 Woodview Ave., Suite 700, Morgan Hill, CA 95037 (“CONTRACTOR”).
THE PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT based upon the following facts, understandings and intentions:
The CITY desires to contract with CONTRACTOR to provide the services described in Section 2 of this Agreement, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
On April 28, 2026, the City Council granted authority for the City Manager to enter into this Agreement with CONTRACTOR.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM. This Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2026 and expire on June 30, 2033.
A. Extension of Term. Upon mutual written agreement by the parties, the term of this Agreement may be extended for three (3) additional period(s) of one (1) year(s) each commencing upon the expiration of the then current term, subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement. Either CITY or CONTRACTOR shall give written notice of its request for extension to the other party’s authorized representative, as identified in Section 4 below, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current term. The extension(s) shall be subject to CITY’s approval, including based on review of CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement. Any extension must be pursuant to a duly executed Amendment to this Agreement.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. Subject to such policy direction and approvals provided by the CITY’s authorized representative, CONTRACTOR shall perform the services described in detail in Exhibit A, “Scope of Services.” CITY retains all rights of approval and discretion with respect to the projects and undertakings contemplated by this Agreement.

A. Compensation. The compensation to be paid to CONTRACTOR including payment for services and reimbursable expenses, shall be at the rate and schedules described in detail in Exhibit A. However, in no event shall the amount CITY pays CONTRACTOR exceed two hundred eighty-nine thousand, nine hundred and twenty-eight dollars ($289,868) per fiscal year (“base contract amount”). At the CITY’s sole discretion, depending on the CITY’s evaluation (results-based performance), CITY may increase the base contract amount by an annual amount of up to 5% per year. Any such increase must be mutually agreed to in writing, and the increased contract amount shall become the “base contract amount” for the purpose of calculating future increases (if any). The City Council hereby grants the CITY’s Authorized Representative the authority to negotiate or deny such increases, and the authority to the City Manager to execute related amendments to this Agreement (including any associated Scope of Work changes), subject to City Attorney approval.
CONTRACTOR may submit monthly statements for services rendered; all statements will include adequate documentation demonstrating exact locations where work was performed during the billing period. It is intended that CITY review such statement and pay CONTRACTOR for services rendered within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a statement that meets all requirements of this Agreement. The CITY will not reimburse/pay invoices if the CONTRACTOR fails to notify the CITY of work plan and/or cannot, to the CITY’s satisfaction, demonstrate that the invoiced work was performed. Payment by CITY shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even if such defects were known to the CITY at the time of payment.
B. Prevailing Wages. The services to be provided hereunder are subject to prevailing wage rate payment as set forth in California Labor Code Section 1771. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all California Labor Code requirements pertaining to "public works," including the payment of prevailing wages in connection with the services to be provided hereunder (collectively, “Prevailing Wage Policies”). CONTRACTOR shall submit, upon request by the CITY, certified copies of payroll records to CITY and shall maintain and make such records available to CITY for inspection and copying during regular business hours at a location within the City of Concord.

CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all present and future liabilities, obligations, orders, claims, damages, fines, penalties and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, "Claims"), arising out of or in any way connected with CONTRACTOR's obligation to comply with all laws with respect to the work of improvements or Prevailing Wage Policies, including all Claims that may be made by contractors, subcontractors or other third party claimants pursuant to Labor Code sections 1726 and 1781, as amended and added by Senate Bill 966.
CONTRACTOR hereby waives, releases and discharges forever the Indemnitees from any and all present and future Claims arising out of or in any way connected with CONTRACTOR's obligation to comply with all laws with respect to the work of improvements and Prevailing Wage Policies.
CONTRACTOR is aware of and familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” As such relates to this Section 3.B, CONTRACTOR hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it may have under California Civil Code Section 1542. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Section 3.B shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. Authorized representatives shall represent CITY and CONTRACTOR in all matters pertaining to the services to be ordered by CITY or rendered by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement except where approval for the CITY is specifically required by the CITY Council. The CITY’s authorized representative is Kit Jory, Director of the Department of Public Works. The CONTRACTOR’s authorized representative is Darin Sherlock, Vice President.
5. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing duly executed by authorized representatives of both parties, and made and approved in compliance with the CITY’s Municipal Code.

A. Amendment to Scope of Services. If CITY requests services other than as described in the Scope of Services, the amendment shall set forth the changes to the Scope of Services, any change in the performance time schedule, and any change in the compensation described in Section 3, above.
B. Amendment for Additional Compensation. CITY’s Authorized Representative is authorized to execute amendments to the Agreement on behalf of CITY, including amendments providing for additional compensation to CONTRACTOR not to exceed the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, throughout the term of this Agreement. “Minimum Threshold” means the dollar amount over which Council approval is required during each fiscal year as set forth in Concord City Council Resolution 21-43 pursuant to Concord Municipal Code Section
3.10.040(a). The Minimum Threshold for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $75,000 and increases by $5,000 each subsequent fiscal year such that by Fiscal Year 2026-27 the Minimum Threshold is $100,000.
Subject to Section 3.A. above, any additional compensation to CONTRACTOR that is greater than the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, must be approved by City Council.
C. Waiver. CONTRACTOR’s failure to secure CITY’s written authorization for additional compensation or changes to the Scope of Services shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment in the price or time due, whether by way of compensation, restitution, quantum meruit, or similar relief.
6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties understand and acknowledge that CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors and subcontractors are and shall at all times remain as to the CITY wholly independent contractors.
Neither the CITY nor any of its officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers shall have any control over the manner by which CONTRACTOR performs this Agreement and shall only dictate the results of the performance. CONTRACTOR shall not represent that CONTRACTOR or its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors or subcontractors are agents or employees of the CITY, and CONTRACTOR shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of the CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent, and shall have no authority, express or implied, to bind the CITY to any obligation whatsoever, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall not be eligible for any benefits, which the CITY may provide to its employees and all persons, if any, hired by CONTRACTOR shall be employees or subcontractors of CONTRACTOR and shall not be construed as employees or agents of the CITY in any respect. CONTRACTOR shall receive no premium or enhanced pay for work normally understood as overtime, e.g., hours that exceed forty (40) hours per work week, or work performed during non-standard business hours, such as in the evenings or on weekends.
CONTRACTOR shall not receive a premium or enhanced pay for work performed on a recognized holiday. CONTRACTOR shall not receive paid time off for days not worked, whether it be in the form of sick leave, administrative leave, or for any other form of absence. CONTRACTOR shall pay all taxes, assessments and premiums under the federal Social Security Act, any applicable unemployment insurance contributions, Workers Compensation insurance premiums, sales taxes, use taxes, personal property taxes, or other taxes or assessments now or hereafter in effect and payable by reason of or in connection with the services to be performed by CONTRACTOR.
7. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. CONTRACTOR represents and warrants to CITY that CONTRACTOR is skilled and able to provide such services described in the Scope of Services and that such services shall be performed in an expeditious manner, and with the degree of skill and care that is required by current, good, and sound procedures and practices. CONTRACTOR further agrees that the services shall be in conformance with generally accepted professional standards prevailing at the time work is performed.
8. PERFORMANCE BY CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall not delegate its duties to, or employ, others (including consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors, or subcontractors) without the prior written approval of the CITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CITY shall not be obligated or liable for payment hereunder to any party other than CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR hereby designates CONTRACTOR’S representative as the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day performance of CONTRACTOR'S work under this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR shall not change CONTRACTOR’S representative without the prior written consent of the CITY. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the CITY, CONTRACTOR'S representative shall

CONTRACTOR shall deliver copies of all Work Materials to CITY upon project completion or other termination of this Agreement (see Section 16 below). The CITY reserves the right to specify the file format that electronic Work Materials are presented to the CITY.

Work Materials are instruments of CONTRACTOR’s services in respect to this project, and are not intended nor are represented to be suitable for reuse by others except CITY on extensions of this project or on any other project. Any reuse without specific written verification and adoption by CONTRACTOR for the specific purposes intended will be at user’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure and expenses to CONTRACTOR, including attorney’s fees arising out of such unauthorized reuse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, basic survey notes and sketches, charts, computations, and other data prepared or obtained under this Agreement shall have no restriction or limitations on their use.

principal of its firm, has, or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of CITY or which would in any way hinder CONTRACTOR’s performance of services under this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of any conflicts of interest, with the interests of the CITY in the performance of this Agreement.

19. NON-WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement, or any default in their performance of any obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other term, covenant, condition, or obligation, nor shall any waiver of any incident of breach of default constitute a continuing waiver of same.

This Agreement shall be interpreted as though it was a product of a joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that said party was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted.

EXHIBIT “B”
CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims from injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by CONTRACTOR, their agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.
MINIMUM SCOPE OF INSURANCE.
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:
1. Commercial General Liability Policy: CONTRACTOR shall maintain during the term of this Agreement a commercial general liability insurance policy providing coverage of at least one million ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence or two million ($2,000,000) aggregate limit for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope or protection afforded to CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers.

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on July 1, 2026, between the City of Concord, a California municipal corporation (“CITY”) and Gachina Landscape Management, Inc., a Corporation, 1130 O’Brien Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025 (“CONTRACTOR”).
THE PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT based upon the following facts, understandings and intentions:
The CITY desires to contract with CONTRACTOR to provide the services described in Section 2 of this Agreement, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
On April 28, 2026, the City Council granted authority for the City Manager to enter into this Agreement with CONTRACTOR.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM. This Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2026 and expire on June 30, 2033.
A. Extension of Term. Upon mutual written agreement by the parties, the term of this Agreement may be extended for three (3) additional period(s) of one (1) year(s) each commencing upon the expiration of the then current term, subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement. Either CITY or CONTRACTOR shall give written notice of its request for extension to the other party’s authorized representative, as identified in Section 4 below, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current term. The extension(s) shall be subject to CITY’s approval, including based on review of CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement. Any extension must be pursuant to a duly executed Amendment to this Agreement.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. Subject to such policy direction and approvals provided by the CITY’s authorized representative, CONTRACTOR shall perform the services described in detail in Exhibit A, “Scope of Services.” CITY retains all rights of approval and discretion with respect to the projects and undertakings contemplated by this Agreement.
3. PAYMENT.
A. Compensation. The compensation to be paid to CONTRACTOR including payment for services and reimbursable expenses, shall be at the rate and schedules described in detail

in Exhibit A. However, in no event shall the amount CITY pays CONTRACTOR exceed one hundred and five thousand, seven hundred and fifty two dollars ($105,751) per fiscal year (“base contract amount”). At the CITY’s sole discretion, depending on the CITY’s evaluation (results-based performance), CITY may increase the base contract amount by an annual amount of up to 5% per year. Any such increase must be mutually agreed to in writing, and the increased contract amount shall become the “base contract amount” for the purpose of calculating future increases (if any). The City Council hereby grants the CITY’s Authorized Representative the authority to negotiate or deny such increases, and the authority to the City Manager to execute related amendments to this Agreement (including any associated Scope of Work changes), subject to City Attorney approval.
CONTRACTOR may submit monthly statements for services rendered; all statements will include adequate documentation demonstrating exact locations where work was performed during the billing period. It is intended that CITY review such statement and pay CONTRACTOR for services rendered within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a statement that meets all requirements of this Agreement. The CITY will not reimburse/pay invoices if the CONTRACTOR fails to notify the CITY of work plan and /or cannot, to the CITY’s satisfaction, demonstrate that the invoiced work was performed. Payment by CITY shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even if such defects were known to the CITY at the time of payment.
B. Prevailing Wages. The services to be provided hereunder are subject to prevailing wage rate payment as set forth in California Labor Code Section 1771. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all California Labor Code requirements pertaining to "public works," including the payment of prevailing wages in connection with the services to be provided hereunder (collectively, “Prevailing Wage Policies”). CONTRACTOR shall submit, upon request by the CITY, certified copies of payroll records to CITY and shall maintain and make such records available to CITY for inspection and copying during regular business hours at a location within the City of Concord.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all present and future liabilities, obligations, orders, claims, damages, fines, penalties and expenses (including

attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, "Claims"), arising out of or in any way connected with CONTRACTOR's obligation to comply with all laws with respect to the work of improvements or Prevailing Wage Policies, including all Claims that may be made by contractors, subcontractors or other third party claimants pursuant to Labor Code sections 1726 and 1781, as amended and added by Senate Bill 966.
CONTRACTOR hereby waives, releases and discharges forever the Indemnitees from any and all present and future Claims arising out of or in any way connected with CONTRACTOR's obligation to comply with all laws with respect to the work of improvements and Prevailing Wage Policies.
CONTRACTOR is aware of and familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” As such relates to this Section 3.B, CONTRACTOR hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it may have under California Civil Code Section 1542. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Section 3.B shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. Authorized representatives shall represent CITY and CONTRACTOR in all matters pertaining to the services to be ordered by CITY or rendered by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement except where approval for the CITY is specifically required by the CITY Council. The CITY’s authorized representative is Kit Jory, Director of the Department of Public Works. The CONTRACTOR’s authorized representative is H. Jacklyn Ishimaru-Gachina, President.
5. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing duly executed by authorized representatives of both parties, and made and approved in compliance with the CITY’s Municipal Code.
A. Amendment to Scope of Services. If CITY requests services other than as described in the Scope of Services, the amendment shall set forth the changes to the Scope of

Services, any change in the performance time schedule, and any change in the compensation described in Section 3, above.
B. Amendment for Additional Compensation. CITY’s Authorized Representative is authorized to execute amendments to the Agreement on behalf of CITY, including amendments providing for additional compensation to CONTRACTOR not to exceed the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, throughout the term of this Agreement. “Minimum Threshold” means the dollar amount over which Council approval is required during each fiscal year as set forth in Concord City Council Resolution 21-43 pursuant to Concord Municipal Code Section
3.10.040(a). The Minimum Threshold for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $75,000 and increases by $5,000 each subsequent fiscal year such that by Fiscal Year 2026-27 the Minimum Threshold is $100,000.
Subject to Section 3.A. above, any additional compensation to CONTRACTOR that is greater than the Minimum Threshold, including the base contract amount, must be approved by City Council.
C. Waiver. CONTRACTOR’s failure to secure CITY’s written authorization for additional compensation or changes to the Scope of Services shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment in the price or time due, whether by way of compensation, restitution, quantum meruit, or similar relief.
6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties understand and acknowledge that CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors and subcontractors are and shall at all times remain as to the CITY wholly independent contractors.
Neither the CITY nor any of its officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers shall have any control over the manner by which CONTRACTOR performs this Agreement and shall only dictate the results of the performance. CONTRACTOR shall not represent that CONTRACTOR or its officers, agents, employees, consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors or subcontractors are agents or employees of the CITY, and CONTRACTOR shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of the CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent, and shall have no authority, express or implied, to bind the CITY to any obligation whatsoever, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall not be eligible for any benefits, which the CITY may provide to its employees and all persons, if any, hired by CONTRACTOR shall be

8. PERFORMANCE BY CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall not delegate its duties to, or employ, others (including consultants, subconsultants, experts, contractors, or subcontractors) without the prior written approval of the CITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CITY shall not be obligated or liable for payment hereunder to any party other than CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR hereby designates CONTRACTOR’S representative as the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day performance of CONTRACTOR'S work under this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR shall not change CONTRACTOR’S representative without the prior written consent of the CITY. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the CITY, CONTRACTOR'S representative shall remain responsible for the quality and timeliness of performance of the services, notwithstanding any permitted or approved delegation hereunder.

CONTRACTOR agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of any conflicts of interest, with the interests of the CITY in the performance of this Agreement.

19. NON-WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement, or any default in their performance of any obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other term, covenant, condition, or obligation, nor shall any waiver of any incident of breach of default constitute a continuing waiver of same.
20. ENFORCEABILITY; INTERPRETATION. In the event that any of the provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or invalid

by a court of competent jurisdiction, CITY and CONTRACTOR shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of this Agreement with a view toward affecting the purpose of this Agreement. The illegality or invalidity of any of the provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or portions of application of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted as though it was a product of a joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that said party was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted. The words “include” and “including” shall be interpreted as though followed by the words “without limitation.”
21. INTEGRATION. The recitals and any exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated by reference as though fully restated herein. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement. It merges and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, representation, writings, and discussions between CONTRACTOR and CITY, whether oral or written.

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on July 1, 2026, between the City of Concord, a California municipal corporation (“CITY”) and Medallion Landscape Management, LLC, a limited liability company, 10 San Bruno Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA 95037 (“CONTRACTOR”).
THE PARTIES ENTER THIS AGREEMENT based upon the following facts, understandings and intentions:
The CITY desires to contract with CONTRACTOR to provide the services described in Section 2 of this Agreement, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
On April 28, 2026, the City Council granted authority for the City Manager to enter into this Agreement with CONTRACTOR.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM. This Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2026 and expire on June 30, 2033.
A. Extension of Term. Upon mutual written agreement by the parties, the term of this Agreement may be extended for three (3) additional period(s) of one (1) year(s) each commencing upon the expiration of the then current term, subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement. Either CITY or CONTRACTOR shall give written notice of its request for extension to the other party’s authorized representative, as identified in Section 4 below, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current term. The extension(s) shall be subject to CITY’s approval, including based on review of CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement. Any extension must be pursuant to a duly executed Amendment to this Agreement.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. Subject to such policy direction and approvals provided by the CITY’s authorized representative, CONTRACTOR shall perform the services described in detail in Exhibit A, “Scope of Services.” CITY retains all rights of approval and discretion with respect to the projects and undertakings contemplated by this Agreement.

in Exhibit A. However, in no event shall the amount CITY pays CONTRACTOR exceed one hundred thousand, two hundred and sixty dollars ($100,269) per fiscal year (“base contract amount”).
At the CITY’s sole discretion, depending on the CITY’s evaluation (results-based performance), CITY may increase the base contract amount by an annual amount of up to 5% per year. Any such increase must be mutually agreed to in writing, and the increased contract amount shall become the “base contract amount” for the purpose of calculating future increases (if any). The City Council hereby grants the CITY’s Authorized Representative the authority to negotiate or deny such increases, and the authority to the City Manager to execute related amendments to this Agreement (including any associated Scope of Work changes), subject to City Attorney approval.
CONTRACTOR may submit monthly statements for services rendered; all statements will include adequate documentation demonstrating exact locations where work was performed during the billing period. It is intended that CITY review such statement and pay CONTRACTOR for services rendered within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a statement that meets all requirements of this Agreement. The CITY will not reimburse/pay invoices if the CONTRACTOR fails to notify the CITY of work plan and/or cannot, to the CITY’s satisfaction, demonstrate that the invoiced work was performed. Payment by CITY shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even if such defects were known to the CITY at the time of payment.
B. Prevailing Wages. The services to be provided hereunder are subject to prevailing wage rate payment as set forth in California Labor Code Section 1771. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all California Labor Code requirements pertaining to "public works," including the payment of prevailing wages in connection with the services to be provided hereunder (collectively, “Prevailing Wage Policies”). CONTRACTOR shall submit, upon request by the CITY, certified copies of payroll records to CITY and shall maintain and make such records available to CITY for inspection and copying during regular business hours at a location within the City of Concord.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all present and future liabilities, obligations, orders, claims, damages, fines, penalties and expenses (including
