Application

Please describe any possible personal or professional areas that may present a conflict of interest, or the appearance of conflict of interest, for serving on the board, commission or committee applied for.

While I do not believe any conflict of interest exists, I wish to disclose the following for the sake of transparency. The only real property I own in the city of Concord is the single-family home inhabited by my family from which I do not generate income. Additionally, I have served the following local municipalities as a contractor or employee: • City of Fremont, Landscape Architecture Division – 2012 – 2013 • City of Oakley, Account Manager with private contractor overseeing landscape maintenance contract between the company and City of Oakley – 2013 – 2014 • City of Walnut Creek, Department of Public Works, Parks Division - 2014 • City & County of San Francisco, Recreation & Parks Department – 2014 – 2022 • City & County of San Francisco, Department of Human Resources – 2022 - Date Interests and Experience
Question applies to multiple boards
Describe prior service on a board, commission, or any other community service or public body, indicate agency and explain what significant contributions you made:

I have significant experience providing information to public boards and bodies as well as previous membership on a private board. In my current role as an Equal Employment Opportunity Programs Senior Specialist for the City & County of San Francisco, I regularly represent the position of the City’s Human Resources Director in front of the city’s Civil Service Commission in public meetings on matters related to equal employment and reasonable accommodation complaints and appeals. I previously served as a Director on the Floresta Gardens Homeowners Association Board of Directors in San Leandro, California between 2019 and 2022. In that role, I provided guidance and recommendations to my fellow board members on large capital projects including the repaving of private roadways and the replacement of roadway lighting. I also advised my fellow board members and voted on the contracts awarded to both short and long-term service providers and vendors.

Additionally, I routinely provided professional knowledge and guidance related to infrastructure maintenance and troubleshooting particularly in the areas of landscape maintenance and tree care as well as water-related infrastructure including backflow prevention devices, communally owned water service lines, and irrigation. Working as an intern for the City of Fremont during my senior year of college, I authored the city’s Tree Policy Guidelines Manual, a roughly 100-page document educating city contractors, employees, and residents about tree care and relevant municipal ordinances. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I served as a pro bono consultant to the County of Los Angeles for the redesign of the county-owned Altadena Community Garden. My work included leading community meetings to obtain public input as well as leading the design and implementation of the property renovation. Following the project’s completion, I was awarded a Commendation by the County of Los Angeles for public service.

Report in Brief
The City Council adopts its regular meeting schedule annually by resolution. Due to scheduling needs, staff identified the need to delete the Regular Council Meeting on December 8, 2026, and add a Regular Council Meeting on December 15, 2026.

Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution amending Resolution No. 25-47 by deleting a Regular Council meeting on December 8, 2026, from, and adding a Regular Council Meeting on December 15, 2026, to the 2026 City Council Meeting Calendar.

Background
On December 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-47, which amended Policy and Procedure No. 2 and established both the regular meeting day and the number of Council meetings per month for 2026.

Analysis
The adopted 2026 meeting calendar includes a meeting on December 8, 2026.

Because the City Council meets only once in December and will not meet again until January 13, 2026, it is better to hold a meeting on December 15 to even out the time

Report in Brief
Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733) will repair existing sanitary sewer lines using various methods at seven locations within Concord and the City of Clayton.

The locations for this project include the Iron Horse Trail by Solano Way and Stanwell Drive, Matheson Road, Armand Drive, Bon Homme Way, Montgomery Avenue, San Simeon Drive near Saint Joseph Drive, and Regency Drive in the City of Clayton (Attachment 1).

A Task Order with Ghirardelli Associates Inc. is required to assist with construction management, inspection, and materials testing during construction of the project. The project has been designed and competitively bid; and is at the point of construction contract award. If award is approved by City Council, project construction is anticipated to begin in September 2026 and be completed in February 2027, weather permitting.

Recommended Action

1. Award of a construction contract in the amount of $2,178,433.75 to Ranger Pipelines Incorporated for the Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733) and authorizing up to a 10% contingency for contract change orders; authorizing the Mayor to execute the contract in a form acceptable to City Attorney (Funded by Sewer Enterprise Funds);

Background
On June 25, 2024, Council approved the Two-Year Capital Budget and Five-Year CIP for Fiscal Years (FY) 2025-2029, which included funding for Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733). This is one of four sewer maintenance projects that were included in the Capital Budget. This project was generated based upon

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d
August 11, 2026
recommendations from the Sewer Master Plan that was adopted in March 2023, with this project consisting of the highest priority.

The project scope includes sewer rehabilitation and repair methods such as open trench pipe replacement, pipe bursting, and Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP). Specific project locations include the following streets or areas:
• Matheson Road between Clayton Road and Geneva Avenue
• Armand Drive between Glazier Drive and Thornwood Drive • Bon Homme Way
• Montgomery Avenue between Dormer Avenue and Wexford Drive • Iron Horse Trail by Stanwell Drive and work adjacent to Solano Way within private property easements located in 1850, 1854, 1860, and 1890 Solano Way • San Simeon Drive at 2800 Saint Joseph Drive
• Regency Drive in the City of Clayton
Armand Drive received a surface treatment in May 2025 that came with a paving moratorium of five years. At the time of the paving project, the scope of the future sewer project had not yet been fully defined, and due to spending deadlines, the pavement surfacing project could not be delayed. Due to the surface treatment, the sewer work on this street was kept as an additive bid in order to provide the City with the option of awarding or not awarding this work at this time. After careful consideration, staff is recommending awarding the work on Armand Drive despite the pavement moratorium for several reasons:
1) The closed-circuit television (CCTV) taken of the main line during project design showed much larger deficiencies than that was identified in the Sewer Master Plan. Based upon feedback from Public Works sewer maintenance staff, Engineering determined that the line is vulnerable to major backups in its current condition and should be repaired within the next two years. Armand Drive is located within maintenance Zone 2 and won’t be scheduled for another sewer project until 2032, well beyond the identified two-year time span for repairs. 2) The scope of work for pavement restoration for Armand Drive would be trench restoration and a surface treatment to match the recently completed resurfacing.

The resulting asphalt section along the sewer line trench will be newer and be slightly thicker, resulting in a better roadway condition than the current condition.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d
August 11, 2026
3) The contractor’s bid total for the surface treatment is less than 3% of the total additive bid cost, meaning that the City would be repairing a critical deficiency in the sewer line with only a minor increase in funding required to restore the road.

Analysis/Procurement Process
The project was advertised for construction bids as required by state law and City policy. The Engineer’s Estimate for the Total Bid is $2,776,600. Bids were opened on July 2, 2026. Four (4) bids were received in the amount ranging from $2,178,433.75 to $3,015,789.25. The basis of award for this project is the Total Bid. The lowest bid was received from Ranger Pipelines Incorporated of San Francisco, CA (Ranger). A summary of the three lowest responsive bids is as follows:

Staff completed an analysis of Ranger’s bid, determining that this firm along with its subcontractors possess appropriate and valid licenses, and are not on any debarred lists. Ranger is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as required by Senate Bill 854. Staff is recommending award of the Total Bid. Ranger and their subcontractors have agreed to be bound to the Citywide Project Stabilization Agreement. Should Council award this contract, sewer improvements at seven locations would be constructed.

On May 26, 2026, in conformance with the City’s purchasing policies, staff contacted and issued an informal Request for Proposal (RFP) from Ghirardelli Associates Inc. (Ghirardelli), under the Master Service Agreement (MSA) for Construction Management, Inspection, and Materials Testing Services to provide services for the Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1. The proposal was received and reviewed by Staff.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.d
August 11, 2026
City Staff and Ghirardelli negotiated the scope of work and cost for the services and agreed upon $335,475.56 as fair and reasonable compensation for design and related services for the project. Ghirardelli and their materials testing subconsultant, Inspection Services Inc., have both agreed to be bound to the Citywide Project Stabilization Agreement for materials testing services. As the Task Order is over $200,000, Council approval is required.

Financial Impact
The current total budget for the project is $2,000,000, funded by Sewer Enterprise Funds (Fund 710). This amount is insufficient funds to cover the full cost of construction, and a budget transfer is required to fully fund the work.

Staff recommends transferring $1,200,000 from the Downtown Sanitary Sewer Upgrade – Phase 4 (Project No. 2598) (Fund 710). Project No. 2598 is currently in project closeout and the remaining funds are no longer needed. Following this transfer, the revised project budget will total $3,200,000.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the award of the contract, a budget transfer, and approval of Task Order do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c), 15273, 15378, as it has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and/or the activities consist of creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not constitute a “project”. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. 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.”
In the alternative, award of this contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as it involves constructing sewer improvements where there is existing roadways and pavement restoration. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis. The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk’s office following the Council award of the construction contract.

RE: PJ 2733 – Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 – Construction Management, Inspection, and Materials Testing
Dear Mr. Cao,
Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. (Ghirardelli) is pleased to submit this letter proposal to assist the City of Concord (City) with construction management, inspection, and materials testing services for the Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1.

UNDERSTANDING
The City of Concord Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733) is a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation program aimed at improving the reliability and performance of the City’s sanitary sewer system across multiple corridors, including Montgomery Avenue, Solano Way, Iron Horse Trail, Matheson Road, Armand Drive, Bon Homme Way, Regency Drive, and San Simeon Drive. The project involves a combination of trenchless and open-cut construction methods, including pipe bursting, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, point repairs, and localized open trench replacement to address deteriorated vitrified clay pipelines and structural deficiencies. Work also includes rehabilitation and replacement of manholes and cleanouts, reconnection and restoration of sewer laterals, and maintenance of continuous sewer service via bypass systems during construction. Supporting activities include potholing and protection of existing utilities, CCTV inspection before and after construction, traffic control, stormwater pollution management, and full surface restoration such as pavement, curb, sidewalk, striping, and trail improvements. The project is designed to enhance system capacity, reduce infiltration and inflow, and extend the service life of critical sewer infrastructure while minimizing disruption to the public through coordinated construction practices and stakeholder communication.

STAFFING
Ghirardelli will provide a Resident Engineer, Inspectors, and materials testing services on the project.

Our Resident Engineer, Natasha Ikponmwonba, PE, PMP, has over 15 years of experience delivering public infrastructure projects, including extensive work with underground utilities, trenching, and pavement restoration in active roadways. She excels in construction management, contract compliance, and coordination with agencies and stakeholders to ensure high-quality, compliant project delivery.

Exhibit A to attachment 4

Ghirardelli Associates | 2055 Gateway Pl. Ste. 470, San Jose, CA 95110 | (480) ghirardelliassoc.com 2 Supporting her is Construction Inspector, Bridget Supple, who brings over 25 years of experience inspecting public works projects, including installation of sewer, water, storm drain, and joint trench utilities, along with associated paving and site improvements. She provides thorough field oversight, including contractor compliance, SWPPP inspections, quantity tracking, and documentation, supported by strong expertise in environmental regulations and utility coordination.

Ghirardelli has included CAL Pavement Management (CPM) to perform inspection services for the Asphalt Rubber Cape Seal Treatment areas and Inspection Services, Inc. (ISI) to perform materials testing services.

Together, this team will ensure that City needs are met and ensure a quality project is delivered.

Ghirardelli understands that services will begin September 2026 for a period of 64 working days(base bid) or 94 working days (with additive bid) and are fully prepared to begin work immediately upon notice to proceed.

SCOPE OF WORK
Ghirardelli is proposing the following scope of services for the project. The scope of work is divided into three phases: pre-construction, construction, and post- construction.

Pre-Construction Services
Natasha will organize a pre-construction conference with the Contractor, subcontractors, City staff, Designer (Freyer & Laureta, Inc.), construction management (CM) team members, and other interested parties to discuss the project and the work involved. This conference will provide a forum for answering questions from the Contractor and other interested parties as well as addressing issues and coordination that need to be performed before work commences. Ghirardelli’s Resident Engineer will prepare an agenda and meeting minutes.

Construction Services
Natasha will manage the day-to-day administration of the project. She, as appropriate, will be the first point of contact with the Contractor, representing the City and the CM team. Natasha will:
• Prepare letters to the Contractor giving formal direction and instruction, when necessary. • Coordinate with the City, providing informational updates and requesting input, as needed. • Manage and perform project inspection.
• Enforce the CSPP and monitor compliance.
• Document progress and operations with daily photographs. • Coordinate, manage and review materials sampling and testing activities. • Monitor project safety and verify compliance with laws, orders, and regulations. • Review labor compliance documents.
• Prepare punch lists and verify satisfactory completion.

Contract Administration
Natasha will review and respond to submittals and RFIs in coordination with the City’s Project Manager; review and monitor the Contractor’s schedule; coordinate the review of traffic control plans and inspection of traffic control measures; review the Contractor’s compliance with all permits, stormwater

Ghirardelli Associates | 2055 Gateway Pl. Ste. 470, San Jose, CA 95110 | (480) ghirardelliassoc.com 3 regulations and permits (SWPPP), and environmental documents; review the Contractor’s compliance with health and safety standards and regulations and reporting of non-compliance; and monitor record documents to ensure proper maintenance and completion by the Contractor. At the conclusion of each week's work, a Weekly Statement of Working Days (WSWD) will be submitted to both the Contractor and City staff.

Project Coordination/Meetings
Natasha will hold weekly meetings with the Contractor, City staff and other interested parties. She will prepare and distribute the weekly project meeting agenda and minutes to attendees. Natasha will be in close communication with the City Project Manager to coordinate project issues and keep the City informed regarding the project status. Natasha will also coordinate with utility agencies and other third parties and arrange meetings for specific issues, as needed.

Scheduling
Natasha will review the Contractor's baseline schedule and determine its conformance with the plans and specifications. She will also review the schedule and look ahead schedules to verify that the project is on schedule. Any slippage will be discussed with the Contractor and the City Project Manager so that action can be taken to minimize delays to project completion.

Progress Payments
Natasha will prepare progress payment estimates and will include the quantity and amount to pay, quantity and amount paid to date, and the quantity and amount remaining for each contract item and change order. She will submit with each progress estimate, source documents justifying the quantities to be paid.

Natasha and Bridget will prepare source documents for payment for work performed for each item listed in the Engineer’s Estimate. These source documents will include calculations, field measurements and counts to document the exact quantity(s) of item work performed each progress pay period. These source documents will be filed in the project records and will be the basis for payment as well as the auditable permanent project records.

Submittals and RFIs
Natasha will review Submittals and RFIs and coordinate with the City Project Manager and the Designer (Freyer & Laureta, Inc.) to respond in a timely manner. By Ghirardelli’s close monitoring of and coordinating the response to Submittals and RFls, we will help to prevent potential project delays and impacts. Document logs will be maintained for correspondence, submittals/shop drawings, RFls, RFCs, change orders and disputes and potential claims.

Construction Inspection
Close adherence to the plans, details, and all applicable specifications is required to properly construct and administer the project. Inspection activities include, but are not limited to, maintaining continuous City coordination, issuing notices of non-compliance, maintaining strict adherence to all local policies, conducting a daily review of the construction operations, and adhering to all applicable contract specifications and standards to include City, State and Federal.

Ghirardelli Associates | 2055 Gateway Pl. Ste. 470, San Jose, CA 95110 | (480) ghirardelliassoc.com 4 Bridget will prepare a daily report for each construction day.

Change Orders
Natasha will prepare Change Orders, as necessary, in accordance with the Caltrans Construction Manual, Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and the City’s Project Manager’s instructions. Change Order approval or Authority to Proceed will be secured from the City before any work of the change is performed.

Materials Sampling and Testing (Field and Lab)
Bridget will coordinate all materials testing with Inspection Services, Inc. (ISI). All materials testing (field and laboratory) will be performed at the frequency established by the contract documents including the City’s Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). Bridget will review the test reports for compliance and maintain the required documentation, including a non-conformance log to ensure that all failed tests are retested until meeting compliance.

Ghirardelli Associates | 2055 Gateway Pl. Ste. 470, San Jose, CA 95110 | (480) ghirardelliassoc.com 5 Post Construction Services
Natasha and Bridget will work closely with the Designer (Freyer & Laureta, Inc.), City staff and other stakeholders to help to ensure that the project closeout proceedings are performed quickly, accurately and consistently, in accordance with all pertinent policies and procedures. They will review and monitor the Contractor's submittal information respective to the closeout, such as "as-built" information, punch list preparation, final progress payment, warranties, guarantees, etc. Bridget will perform a final inspection and ensure all items from the punch list are completed.

CEQA: Not a project/exempt per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15378, 15301, 15302, 15304, and/or Public Resources Code Section 21065.

Report in Brief
The Camp Concord Maintenance Repairs to Buildings (Project No. 2533) (Project) will involve maintenance of the cabin decks and the lower bath house at the Camp Concord property located in South Lake Tahoe. The work consists of the replacement of existing cabin decks, the lower bath house roof and structural elements and bathroom fixtures.

See attached location map (Attachment 1).

The Project has been designed, competitively bid, and is ready for construction contract award. If the award is approved by City Council (Council), construction is expected to begin in August 2026 and be completed in October 2026, weather permitting. The construction contract with D.G. Granade, Inc. is attached (Attachment 3).

Recommended Action

1. Award a construction contract in the amount of $562,265.00 to D.G. Granade, Inc. and authorize up to 10% contingency for contract change orders for the Camp Concord Maintenance Repairs to Buildings (Project No. 2533); and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney (Parkland and General Funds);

2. Approve a budget transfer and appropriation in the total amount of $410,000.00 from the Civic Center Roof Replacement (Project No. 2429), (General Fund);

3. Authorize the City Engineer to accept the improvements upon completion of Camp Concord Maintenance Repairs to Buildings (Project No. 2533) and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion; and

4. Make the CEQA determinations as reflected in this staff report.

Background
On June 28, 2022, Council adopted the Two-Year Capital Budget for Fiscal Years 2022- 23 and 2023-24, which included funding for the design and construction of the Project.

The Project is intended to replace 21 cabin decks to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, current building codes, and USDA Forest Service’s safety requirements. The Project will also provide needed replacement of the deteriorating lower bath house bathroom fixtures, stall partitions, exterior cinder block walls, and roof.

Since this Project is proposing improvements to the lower bath house’s existing roof, the Project scope at the lower bath house was expanded to also include the replacement of

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.e
August 11, 2026
the support beams that are part of the Camp Concord Lower Camp Bath House Roof/Structural Upgrade Cabin Flooring Project (Project No. 2776). The structural upgrades were added to the Project to ensure that all planned lower bath house improvements were performed at the same time.

Analysis/Procurement Process
The Project will perform maintenance to existing buildings at Camp Concord, located in South Lake Tahoe. Construction is anticipated to begin in August 2026 and be completed in October 2026, weather permitting.

Construction Contract
The Project was advertised for construction bids as required by state law and City policy with the Engineer’s Estimate for the total bid at $500,000. Two bids were received and opened on July 23, 2026, with amounts ranging from $562,265.00 to $898,613.17.

The basis of award for the Project is the total bid, and the lowest bid was received from D.G. Granade, Incorporated of Shingle Springs, CA (D.G. Granade).

A summary of the two bids is as follows (Attachment 2):

D.G. Granade was the lowest bidder and submitted a responsive and responsible bid.

D.G. Granade has an appropriate and valid contractor’s license and has previously completed many other building projects in the Lake Tahoe area.

City staff completed analysis of D.G. Granade’s bid, determining that this contractor along with its subcontractors possess appropriate and valid licenses, and are not on any debarred lists. D.G. Granade is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as required by Senate Bill 854.

Financial Impact
The current remaining budget for the Camp Concord Maintenance Repairs to Buildings is $286,000 (Fund 450 – Parkland Funds). There are insufficient funds in the Project to award the construction contract to D.G. Granade and cover a 10% contingency for contract change orders that may occur. A budget transfer in the total amount of $410,000 is needed from the completed Civic Center Roof Replacement (Project No. 2429) (Fund 400 – General/Capital Projects Fund).

Approval of the above budget transfer will fully fund the construction contract with D.G.

Granade and cover the 10% contingency needed for contract change orders.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the award of the contract does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c), 15273, 15378, as it has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and/or the activities consist of creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not constitute a “project”. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. 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.” In the alternative, Council action on this item is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as it involves pavement rehabilitation, striping, and concrete work. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis. The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk’s office and the State’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation following the Council award of the construction contract.

Subject: Considering award of an on-call construction contract for OnCall Citywide Sewer Lateral Replacement & Sewer Main Spot Repair (Project No. 2244) to FJ&I Engineering Inc. for one year (with three one-year extensions possible) in the amount not-toexceed $350,000 annually; and authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

Report in Brief
The Capital Improvement Program project titled “On-Call Citywide Sewer Lateral Replacement & Sewer Main Spot Repair (Project No. 2244)” is to provide City staff with access to an on-call sewer contractor to perform as-needed repairs to sewer lateral and main lines. The project is specified as a one-year “on-call” services contract with a renewable option for up to three additional years upon mutual agreement of the Contractor and the City. This on-call service would be used for projects that are either emergencies or have a cost under $75,000, including replacement of damaged City4.f

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.f

owned service laterals and spot-repairs on sewer mains to ensure adequate flow, and to reduce overflows and groundwater infiltration into the sewer system.

Four bids were received and opened on Thursday, July 16, 2026. FJ&I Engineering Inc. of San Pablo, California was considered the apparent low bidder.

Recommended Action
Award an on-call construction contract for On-Call Citywide Sewer Lateral Replacement & Sewer Main Spot Repair (Project No. 2244) to FJ&I Engineering Inc. for one year (with three one-year extensions possible) in a not to exceed amount of $350,000 annually; authorize the City Manager to execute the contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
The City of Concord owns and operates its sewer collection system and also maintains and operates the system owned by the City of Clayton. Periodic maintenance and repairs for both systems are performed by City of Concord staff except when the scope or complexity of a repair exceeds available staff expertise or equipment.

Responsibility for sewer lateral maintenance varies depending on how the system was constructed. A sewer lateral generally includes an upper portion that extends from a building to a cleanout at the property line and a lower portion that extends from the cleanout to the sewer main in the street. In newer construction where a cleanout has been installed at the property line and the lower lateral has passed pressure testing and has been accepted by the City, Concord takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the lower portion of the lateral. In situations where no cleanout exists, or where a cleanout exists but the lower lateral has not been accepted by the City, the property owner is responsible for maintenance and repair of the entire lateral.

The bid package for this project was structured as an “on-call” service contract for the repairs to sewer lateral and main lines. In order to provide prospective bidders with a biddable estimate of “on-call” services for the year, staff provided “estimated quantities” of various items of work needed over the year to establish “per unit” costs for each work item. For example, the prospective bidder was asked to provide a per-unit cost for the removal and replacement of a 6-inch sewer main spot repair (up to 6 feet in length).

Determination of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder was based on the total bid for the estimated quantities. Actual work will be outlined on work orders issued to the contractor, as needed, with a limited window for repair. Any individual task will be limited to emergencies and/or situations where the total cost of the project is less than $75,000. The contractor would then be paid as each work order is completed based on the unit prices. The last competitively bid On-Call Citywide Sewer Lateral Replacement & Sewer Main Spot Repair contract was similar in that it was for one year with a renewable option for up to three additional years upon mutual agreement of the

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.f
August 11, 2026
contractor and the City. The last contract was awarded in June 2023, and two one-year extensions were used, concluding the contract at the end of June 2026.

Procurement Process
The project was advertised for construction bids as required by state law and City policy. Bids were opened on July 16, 2026. Four bids were received in the amount ranging from $293,500 to $363,960 as shown on the Bid Summary (Attachment 1). The lowest responsive bid was received from FJ&I Engineering Inc. of San Pablo, CA. A summary of the lowest bids is as follows:

FJ&I
Engineering
Inc.

MBR Plumbing HP
Construction
Kerex
Engineering
Total Bid $293,500 $323,100 $333,200 $363,960
The basis of award for this project is the Total Bid, and there are no additive bids. FJ&I Engineering Inc. was the low bidder and submitted a responsive and responsible bid.

FJ&I Engineering Inc. has an appropriate and valid contractor’s license and satisfactory work references.

The on-call contract will be limited to a not-to-exceed amount of $350,000 per year to perform work as assigned by Public Works on a work order basis. This not-to-exceed amount is not a guarantee of work. The awarded on-call contract will lock in FJ&I Engineering Inc.’s unit prices for the one-year contract and for the three possible additional years of the contract.

Financial Impact
The award of the on-call construction contract does not directly appropriate or expend funds. Funding for each work order would need to be in place prior to issuance of the work order and will be provided from existing capital or operating budget allocations.

The on-call construction contract award limits the maximum annual cumulative value of work performed through all assigned work orders up to $350,000 per year.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the award of the contract does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c), 15378, as it has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.f

there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
In the alternative, Council action on this item is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, as it involves pavement rehabilitation, striping, and concrete work. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

Adopt a Resolution approving the negotiated terms and authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year memorandum of understanding between the City of Concord and OPEIU Local 29 for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, and authorizing budget appropriations of $81,052 in Fiscal Year 2026-27.

2. Adopt a Resolution approving the City of Concord’s salary schedule effective August 3, 2026, in accordance with the requirements of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for a publicly available pay schedule.

Background
The terms of the current memoranda of understanding between the City of Concord and Local 29 expired on June 30, 2026. Over the course of several months, Local 29 and the City bargained in good faith to address employee wages, healthcare cost increases, and operational updates. The parties reached a tentative agreement and the Union ratified its contract on July 24, 2026.

Additionally, the California Code of Regulations (CCR) requires Council to adopt the City’s salary schedule at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges/steps are changed to ensure that salary rates are transparent and publicly available. These publicly adopted rates are used by the California Public Retirement System to determine the appropriate compensation earnable for each City employee when calculating their pension benefit.

Analysis
The noteworthy modifications to the memorandum of understanding for Local 29 are outlined below:

1. Wage Increases
a. Effective August 3, 2026, the base salary for all bargaining unit classifications will be increased by three percent (3%). b. Effective the first full pay period of July 2027, the base salary for all bargaining unit classifications will be increased by three percent (3%). c. Effective the first full pay period of July 2028, the base salary for all bargaining unit classifications will be increased by three percent (3%).

2. Medical Benefits and Cost Increases
a. Starting January 1, 2027, the City will pay for the first 5% of any annual healthcare premium increases. This provision sunsets on June 30, 2029. b. Cost Sharing: Any premium increase above 5% will be split using the current 75% City / 25% employee cost-sharing ratio.

3. Within ninety days from City Council Approval of this MOU, either party may request to meet and confer on the limited topic of compensation for after-hours electronic/remote work by union members in the IT classifications of senior system analyst and senior programmer analyst.

By absorbing the first 5% of healthcare premium increases and maintaining the 75/25 ratio on the remainder through June 2029, this temporary three-year cost-sharing adjustment on health insurance premiums proactively mitigates the impact of rising healthcare inflation on this specific employee group. This adjustment will only be made for the next three years, after which all cost increases revert to the 75/25 ratio. This approach fosters workforce stability, supports talent retention, and promotes long-term equity among all City classifications represented by OPEIU Local 29.

Financial Impact
The total cost of the compensation adjustments is $1.43 million for the OPEIU Local 29 over all three MOU years, Fiscal Years 2026-27, 2027-2028, and 2028-29.

FY 2026-27 budget appropriations of $81,052 for OPEIU Local 29 are necessary to cover the costs of implementation of the negotiated MOUs. Funds are available in the adopted FY 2026-27 Operating Budget. Costs for FYs 2027-28 and 2028-29 will be incorporated into the next biennial budget.

When a court appearance, which has been scheduled to occur on the employee’s time off, is cancelled and less than six (6) hours’ notice of the cancellation is given, the employee shall be paid two (2) hours of overtime. Personal contact or a message left on the employee’s department voice mail is considered adequate notice.

6.4 After Hours Electronic / Remote Work
After hours work performed remotely, from home, or through electronic means, including but not limited to telephone calls, electronic mail, text messages, remote computer access, video conferencing, or other similar communications, shall not constitute a call back and shall not qualify for the minimum two (2) hour call back guarantee.

8. VACATIONS

8.1 Except as provided immediately below, the Parties hereby incorporate by reference Policy and Procedure No. 37.17 in effect on the date of this MOU. Provided, however, that the maximum vacation balance available for an employee at any one time shall be the amount of the employee's vacation accrual for the previous anniversary year plus the amount of the vacation accrual for the current anniversary year. However, upon approval of the Department Head, up to 40 additional days of vacation may be accumulated for a period

Memorandum of Understanding between the
City of Concord and OPEIU Local 29 July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2029

not to exceed one anniversary year. Changes to Policy and Procedure No. 37.17 will become effective only after satisfying the City’s meet and confer obligations.

8.1.1 Annual Vacation Cash-Out. For the purposes of reducing excess vacation accrual, employees may elect to receive compensation (“cash-out”), annually, for a maximum of 40 hours of accrued vacation each year, so long as two workweeks of accrued vacation remain for the benefit of the employee after the cash-out is taken. This election must be made in writing no later than December 31 of the calendar year prior to when the cash-out is scheduled to occur. By way of illustration, employees seeking a cash-out in calendar year 2016 must submit their cash-out election by December 31, 2015. This compensation shall occur on the first full pay period in August following submission of the irrevocable election form (which will be made available in the Human Resources Department). No exceptions will be made to this policy. If the non-revocable election is not made by December 31, there will be no other opportunity to cash-out vacation accruals until/unless the nonrevocable election is made by the employee on or before December 31 of the following year.

8.1.2 On September 9 of each calendar year, employees in pay status shall accrue an additional eight (8) hours of vacation in lieu of an Admissions Day holiday.

Such vacation accrual shall occur at the end of the pay period which includes September 9 and shall be credited to the employee's vacation balance regardless of the number of hours paid during the pay period. However, such vacation accrual shall not be credited in any amount that exceeds the employee's vacation accrual maximum unless specifically authorized by, and at the sole discretion of, the City Manager after considering alternatives that may be available. The City agrees to provide advance notification to those employees who may, as a result of such crediting, exceed their vacation maximum so that they may schedule vacation time or initiate other appropriate action in order to avoid a loss. Such notification shall be with the understanding that it is the employee's responsibility to initiate the appropriate request. For purposes of this section, pay status means the employee has worked or is on authorized paid leave of absence for at least four hours on the workday prior to and following the holiday. Employees on authorized or unauthorized leaves of absence without pay are not considered to be in pay status during the leave of absence.

9. REDUCTIONS IN FORCE/LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT STATUS

9.1 Layoff and Reemployment
The Parties hereby incorporate by reference Policy & Procedure No. 37.33 Layoff, Displacement, Re-employment in effect on the date of this MOU. Changes to Policy & Procedure No. 37.33 will become effective only after satisfying the City’s meet and confer obligations.

Memorandum of Understanding between the
City of Concord and OPEIU Local 29 July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2029

Layoffs shall proceed consistent with the terms of existing City policy. However, in the event layoffs are required, the City will provide up to thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to affected bargaining unit employees. If the City determines it is appropriate to give less than thirty (30) calendar days’ notice, it will pay the employee the difference between the notice period and the thirty calendar days. For example, if the City gives an employee ten (10) days’ notice of layoff, the City will pay the employee his or her normal pay for the period between the tenth and thirtieth day.

9.2 Loss of Employment Status

Memorandum of Understanding between the

provided that the prior employment history of the employee may also be considered pertinent. The disciplinary actions that may be taken are written reprimand, suspension without pay, reduction in step within range, demotion without consent, dismissal, or any appropriate combination of these.

13.2.1 Warning Notice is an informal procedure used by a supervisor to caution an employee and is not an official disciplinary action. The warning notice may be issued verbally or in writing.

13.4.6 A statement that failure to respond to the notice will be regarded as a waiver of the employee's subsequent right to respond to the notice.

13.5 Employee Response
Upon the employee’s request, and for cause acceptable to the appointing authority, the City may extend the period for submitting a response. The City shall confirm such extension in writing. If the employee's response is not received within the period specified in the original Notice of Intent, or within an authorized extension period, any subsequent right to respond shall be forfeited.

13.6 Order of Disciplinary Action

Memorandum of Understanding between the
City of Concord and OPEIU Local 29 July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2029

At the expiration of the response period, and after consideration of the employee’s response, if any, the appointing authority shall determine if disciplinary action is warranted. If so, a written notice, including specific charges as to offense and the time, place, and circumstances of such offense shall be made to the employee at the time when any disciplinary action is made effective, provided that in emergency situations or other instances when simultaneous notification is not practicable, written notification may be given the following normal City working day. Said notice shall, whenever possible, be made in the form prescribed by the Human Resources Director and copies shall be submitted to the Human Resources Director for the employee's official personnel record.

13.7 Effective Date
A disciplinary action shall be effective as of the time designated by the person or persons authorizing the action, provided that no disciplinary action shall be recorded with an effective date which is prior to the date such action is taken. In addition, except for suspensions under emergency situations, the effective date shall not be earlier than the date of the notice of Order of Disciplinary Action.

13.8 Right of Appeal
An employee who has been suspended, demoted, dismissed, or whose pay step is reduced in the pay range shall be entitled to request a hearing as set forth below.

Written reprimands shall not be subject to the discipline appeal process, but may be subject to the grievance procedure as provided in Section 14 (Grievance Procedure).

13.9 Employee Representative
At any step in the discipline appeal procedure, the employee concerned will be represented by the Union or, alternatively, may elect self-representation. In either case, the employee concerned shall be personally present at all stages unless that employee specifically waives the right in writing.

13.10 Appeal Procedure
The following procedure shall be used in the appeal process:

13.10.1 Protest. Within seven (7) working days of the receipt of written notice of Order of Disciplinary Action, the disciplined employee may protest the disciplinary action. Such protest shall be in writing and given to the Human Resources Director.
