Dear City Council Members:

It is vital that the City of Concord do the utmost to protect the valuable members of the immigrant community by implementing requirements now regarding the operations of ICE within the city, as well as other provisions.

The city must protect us all by codifying the following into a binding ordinance:
• Ensure city resources are not used to assist ICE. This includes City personnel, property and data.
• It must prohibit ICE from staging raids on City Property • It must create a collaborative framework for information sharing and public communication in the event of verified ICE activity.

Additionally the city council should gather robust and ongoing community input on other possible supports such as:
• Emergency financial support for residents and businesses. • Emergency eviction protections during economic disruptions • Eliminate contracts with companies that share sensitive data with immigration agencies. (I.E. FLOCK)
Additionally, the city must agendize for public comment a discussion on how the city will comply with SB 580, as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the steps now to protect our immigrant community. Do not wait until an ICE surge is already underway.

Thank you,
Gwynne Gilson

Hello City Council members,

I am writing to request that you actively support Concord's immigrant community in keeping with the Welcoming City resolutions that previous councils passed in 2017 and 2021. ICE presence in Concord is going to increase to the detriment of too many law- abiding people.

Our immigrant neighbors who provide so many essential services to all of us need to feel safe in Concord. To begin community wide conversations and providing a measure of safety, these are my requests to the City Council members:
• Create a standing committee to allow the city and community to respond to this evolving crisis together. A standing committee that meets regularly and transparently will allow impacted community members, businesses, and concerned residents to be in dialogue and collaborate together with the City Council. • Prohibit ICE from staging on city property.
• Develop a public communications protocol in collaboration and partnership with the community to assure public safety and reduce misinformation during immigration enforcement operations.
• Update and strengthen prohibitions on data-sharing and noncooperation policies in compliance with statewide law SB580 and in a way that includes public participation.

Thank you for your work towards making Concord a welcoming, safe, and vibrant city for all of its residents.

Kathleen S.

Energy prices and inflation remained the primary drivers of the macro backdrop as the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict entered its third month, disrupting global oil supply. Headline CPI accelerated at the fastest pace in more than three years, reflecting volatility in the energy component. Crude oil, however, retraced roughly 20% from its May–early June peak as diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran pointed to a potential framework for de-escalation. The labor market remained resilient, with continued payroll growth and subdued jobless claims. Risk assets held firm, as equities hovered near record highs and credit spreads remained historically tight amid broadly better-than-expected corporate earnings.

Taken together, the current market environment has further constrained the case for near-term monetary policy easing, leading the Chandler team to push out its expected timing for rate cuts beyond the six-month investment horizon.

The Federal Reserve’s June FOMC meeting ended with policymakers unanimously holding the target range at 3.50%–3.75%, a notable shift from the 8–4 split at April’s meeting, which marked Jerome Powell’s final session as Chair. Under new Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in on May 22, the Committee released an unusually concise statement that referenced Middle East tensions and energy supply disruptions while removing prior forward guidance that had suggested a bias toward rate cuts. Updated projections leaned more hawkish, with 9 of 18 officials expecting at least one rate hike this year and 6 anticipating multiple increases. The shift signals that restoring price stability has reemerged as the central focus of monetary policy deliberations.

The Treasury yield curve flattened modestly in June as short-term yields responded to a more hawkish shift in Federal Reserve guidance. The 2- year yield rose to 4.15% from 3.98% the prior month, while the 10-year yield edged down slightly to 4.44% from 4.45%. As a result, the 2s/10s spread narrowed to 29 basis points, down from roughly 47 basis points a month earlier and significantly below the 69 basis point spread at the start of the year. Meanwhile, the 3-month/10-year spread remained positive at 64 basis points. Front-end rates absorbed the bulk of the Fed’s updated rate outlook, while longer maturities were partly anchored by a late-month decline in oil prices.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 57,000 in June, well below the 113,000 consensus and marking a sharp slowdown from May’s pace. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.2%, though the decline was driven by a drop in labor force participation to 61.5%, its lowest level since March 2021. Revisions further weakened the report’s signal. April payrolls were revised down by 31,000 to 148,000, while May was lowered by 43,000 to 129,000, resulting in a combined two-month downward revision of 74,000.

Job openings were essentially unchanged at 7.6 million in May, remaining elevated by historical standards even as hiring momentum moderates.

Gains in wholesale trade and accommodation and food services were offset by declines in health care and social assistance, as well as finance and insurance. April openings were revised down by 33,000 to 7.6 million, while hires were revised up by 99,000, highlighting ongoing churn but a broadly stable labor market backdrop.

ENERGY MARKETS
Crude oil prices declined sharply in June as supply disruptions tied to the Middle East conflict began to ease. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz normalized, and signs of progress in U.S.–Iran negotiations helped unwind the geopolitical risk premium that had driven prices higher earlier in the year. West Texas Intermediate settled near $69.37 per barrel on June 30, while Brent crude closed around $72.96, both well below their recent peaks. Brent’s 21% monthly decline marked its steepest drop since March 2020, while WTI fell more than 20%, its largest monthly loss since late 2021. Beyond crude, broader energy markets also softened. Refined product cracks narrowed as gasoline and diesel demand showed signs of seasonal moderation, while U.S. natural gas prices remained range-bound amid ample storage and steady production. Taken together, the retracement in oil and broader energy prices reflects a rapid compression in geopolitical risk premia and improved near-term supply visibility, even as underlying structural risks in the region remain unresolved.

Inflation decelerated sharply in June, with the Consumer Price Index falling 0.4% on the month—its largest decline since the onset of the pandemic in 2020—and bringing the annual rate down to 3.5% from 4.2% in May. Core CPI (excluding food and energy) was flat on the month and rose 2.6% year over year, both coming in softer than expected after energy-driven pressures pushed inflation to a three-year high earlier in the quarter. The CPI report suggests at least a near-term reprieve in inflation. However, the latest available Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index tells a firmer story: headline PCE rose 0.4% in May and 4.1% year over year, up from 3.8% in April and marking the highest annual rate of the current cycle. Core PCE increased 0.3% on the month and 3.4% over the year. Energy prices remained the primary driver of recent headline acceleration, reflecting supply disruptions tied to the Iranian conflict, although price volatility remains elevated.

Retail sales presented a firmer picture of consumer spending in June, rising 0.2% on the month and 6.7% year over year, while May’s gain was revised up to 1.0%. The control group, which feeds directly into GDP, increased a solid 0.5%, suggesting demand remains more resilient than sentiment alone would indicate. Consumer confidence improved modestly, with the Conference Board’s index edging up 0.6 points to 91.2 in June. However, the headline gain obscures continued weakness in labor market perceptions, as the share of respondents reporting jobs as “hard to get” climbed to a five-and-a-half-year high. Overall, spending has remained notably more resilient than sentiment in recent months. 0 20

3 Month Average
Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago showed the National Activity Index (CFNAI) improving to -0.02 in June from -0.19 in May, while its smoother three-month moving average rose to -0.05. Both measures remain well above the -0.70 level that has historically preceded recessions, indicating the economy is still expanding, albeit below trend, rather than contracting. The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) painted a more cautious picture, falling 0.2% in June and erasing some of the gains seen earlier in the spring. Weak consumer expectations and a decline in building permits were the main drags, partly offset by the yield spread’s contribution.

Housing starts rebounded in June, rising to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.427 million—a 19% increase from an upwardly revised 1.199 million in May. The gain was driven primarily by multifamily construction, with starts surging more than 76% month over month to 532,000 units, while single-family starts edged down slightly to 895,000. Home price growth showed tentative signs of firming, as the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite rose 1.1% year over year in April, marking its first acceleration since November 2025 and following an upwardly revised 0.9% increase in March. Meanwhile, borrowing costs remained elevated, with Freddie Mac’s average 30-year fixed mortgage rate ticking up to 6.49% in June from 6.44% in May, continuing to weigh on affordability for prospective buyers.

Manufacturing activity cooled slightly in June, with the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Index easing to 53.3%, down 0.7 percentage point from May but still marking a sixth consecutive month of expansion. Services activity also moderated, as the ISM Services Index eased to 54.0% from 54.5%, a twenty-fourth consecutive month in expansion territory. Business activity and new orders both slowed, though the employment component jumped to 51.2% from 47.9%, its strongest reading since late 2021 and the first expansion in services hiring in four months.

The 0.5 percentage point upward revision was driven primarily by a downward revision to imports—which subtract from GDP—partly offset by a downward revision to consumer spending.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% at its June 16–17 meeting, with a unanimous 12–0 vote. This marked a notable shift from the April meeting—Jerome Powell’slast as chair—which saw four dissents in an 8–4 decision. The return to consensus under Chair Kevin Warsh signals a clear change in tone. Minutes from the June meeting are scheduled for release in early July. The June Summary of Economic Projections reflected a more hawkish outlook. The median projection for the federal funds rate at year-end 2026 rose to 3.8%, up from 3.4% in March, before easing to 3.6% in 2027 and 3.4% in 2028. Officials also revised their inflation forecasts, with headline PCE projected at 3.6% in 2026 (from 2.7%) and core PCEat 3.3%. By contrast, median projections for real GDP growth and the unemployment rate—2.2% and 4.3%, respectively—were little changed.

Treasury yields ended June mixed, with a modest flattening across the curve as markets digested a more hawkish Federal Reserve signal. The 2- year yield rose to 4.15% from 3.98% at the end of May, while the 10-year yield edged down to 4.44% from 4.45%. The 2s/10s spread narrowed to 29 basis points, down from 47 basis points a month earlier. The 3-month/10-year spread remained positive at roughly 64 basis points at month- end. Relative to the 69 basis point spread at the start of 2026, the curve has flattened materially year to date, reflecting a repricing higher in front- end rates as expectations shift toward the possibility of further Fed tightening rather than easing.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
2026 Chandler Asset Management, Inc, An Independent Registered Investment Adviser.

Information contained herein is confidential. Prices are provided by ICE Data Services Inc (“IDS”), an independent pricing source. In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.

Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Source ICE Data Indices, LLC (“ICE”), used with permission. ICE permits use of the ICE indices and related data on an “as is” basis; ICE, its affiliates and their respective third party suppliers disclaim any and all warranties and representations, express and/or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use, including the indices, index data and any data included in, related to, or derived therefrom. Neither ICE data, its affiliates or their respective third party providers guarantee the quality, adequacy, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the indices or the index data or any component thereof, and the indices and index data and all components thereof are provided on an “as is” basis and licensee’s use it at licensee’s own risk. ICE data, its affiliates and their respective third party do not sponsor, endorse, or recommend chandler asset management, or any of its products or services.

This report is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a specific investment or legal advice. The information contained herein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable as of the date of publication, but may become outdated or superseded at any time without notice. Any opinions or views expressed are based on current market conditions and are subject to change. This report may contain forecasts and forward-looking statements which are inherently limited and should not be relied upon as indicator of future results. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This report is not intended to constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation or advice regarding any securities or investment strategy and should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their own judgment.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.

Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy.

Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest.

LGIP Yields: Reported yields for local government investment pools may be presented as either the 30-day yield or the monthly distribution yield, as applicable. For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds.

Subject: Considering a four-year renewal of the Services Agreement with Peregrine Technologies, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,317,270, including a 15% contingency, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney. (General Fund)

Report in Brief
The City of Concord (City) Police Department utilizes Peregrine Technologies (Peregrine) software as its core data integrator and electronic court case filing system.

The software is a staff multiplier that offers a centralized platform by connecting a variety of Concord Police Department data systems and presents the results in a single comprehensive dashboard, allowing our Police Department to electronically file court cases with the Contra Costa County District Attorney, greatly increasing efficiencies within the Department.

In 2022, the Police Department, in partnership with IT, completed an extensive assessment to determine how best to manage data and electronically file police court cases. Peregrine was selected as the optimal choice due to its greater functionality, advanced cloud architecture, and being the sole solution allowed by Contra Costa County to electronically file court cases with the District Attorney. Peregrine has now become the fundamental technology used to electronically file cases and manage data for the Police Department.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
August 25, 2026
Recommended Action
Authorize the City Manager to approve the renewal of a four-year software services agreement with Peregrine, in a total amount not-to-exceed $1,317,270, including a 15% contingency; and authorizing the City Manager to execute the services agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
The Concord Police Department has a software services agreement with Peregrine Technologies to provide integrations of police data sets and electronic filing of court cases with the Contra Costa District Attorney. The integrations allow City personnel to quickly and efficiently access multiple police databases within a single, actionable portal and file court cases electronically, greatly reducing travel and processing time for staff.

The City’s current four-year agreement expires in October 2026 and requires a renewal to continue using these services. As a critical component of police operations, Peregrine’s software is essential for delivering high-quality Public Safety services to Concord’s residents.

Analysis
Before Peregrine, the process of critically analyzing police data and producing meaningful reports was primarily done manually. This was an extremely inefficient, time- consuming and costly process. Peregrine Technologies provides an effective solution that allows for analysis and reporting capabilities across all platforms and applications utilized by the Police Department. Peregrine does not create or bring in any new data to the City but rather utilizes data from systems the City owns and makes it quickly functional.

Peregrine creates additional efficiencies through electronic case filing. It is the only software approved by Contra Costa County for electronic court case filing. This process used to be cumbersome and manual, involving many individuals in various roles preparing and packaging all of the expected materials, and then physically transporting it from Concord to Martinez. With Peregrine, the City estimates time and travel savings of approximately $290,000 per year based on the current average felony court case e- filings.

Due to the confidential nature of police data, the Concord Police Department maintains strict policies that govern both the use of Peregrine as well as access to all Concord police information. The Department fully complies with all applicable California laws, including SB 54. Access to confidential police systems are routinely audited to prevent unauthorized use or sharing, and the safeguarding of data is a critical component of police operations.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
August 25, 2026
The cost for the Peregrine hosted software system with data integration services and electronic court case filing is $286,363 per year. The four-year contract total is $1,145,452. When including a 15% contingency, the total not-to-exceed amount requested is $1,317,270. One-time funds are currently budgeted for the subscription’s first year costs of $286,363 in the FY 2026-27 IT Department budget. An ongoing funding source will be identified during the next biennial budget process to fund years two through four. Continued use of Peregrine will be dependent on Council approval of these future budgets.

Procurement Process
Pursuant to Municipal Code-Title 3 Revenue and Finance-Chapter 3.10 Purchasing, bidding regulations may be waived when there is only one verified vendor for the product or service. Peregrine Technologies is the sole provider for the software subscriptions of their data integration and electronic court case filing system products.

Peregrine is integral to Public Safety operations, and after 4 years of superior service, it is the optimal solution for the city.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 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 physical change in the environment, and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
Financial Impact
The initial contract with Peregrine was funded with one-time funds. Additional one-time funds have been identified and are currently budgeted for the subscription’s first year in the FY 2026-27 IT Department budget. Going forward, if the City wishes to continue the use of Peregrine, on-going funding will need to be identified as part of the biennial budget process for years two through four. The software will be dependent on Council approval of these future budgets otherwise reduced or eliminated.

Recommended Action
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with TJKM in the not-to-exceed amount of $700,847.15 for civil engineering design and related services for the Citywide Installation and Upgrade of Traffic Signs Project [City Project No. 2796 and Federal Project No. HSIPL-5135(069)]; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
On September 4, 2024, the City applied for HSIP grant funding for Fiscal Years (FY) 2026-2028 for the Project. On February 28, 2025, Caltrans notified the City that the HSIP grant application was approved. On June 10, 2025, as part of the mid-cycle budget adjustment, City Council approved the acceptance and appropriation of $7,004,250 HSIP grant funds (Fund 402) to the Project, with a local match (Fund 490) of $778,250, for a total project budget of $7,782,500.

The Project proposes to create a comprehensive inventory of all traffic signage citywide (see Attachment 1). The City owns and maintains over 16,000 traffic signs, including regulatory, warning, informational, and street name signs. The Project will install and upgrade traffic signs to meet recently upgraded minimum retro-reflectivity requirements per the FHWA. This new federal mandate requires local agencies to establish and implement a sign assessment or management method to maintain traffic signs in compliance with retro-reflectivity requirements of Section 2A.22 of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD).

The City will develop a GIS sign inventory database with individual traffic sign records uploaded to the City’s asset management system. A phased sign plan will be created and implemented to replace and maintain sign retro-reflectivity for all City signs.

Procurement Process
On June 11, 2026, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to select a consultant to provide civil engineering design services for the Project. The RFP was advertised on the City’s OpenGov Procurement Website. Two proposals were received, which were reviewed and ranked by the selection committee.

Based on the analysis of the proposals, interviews, and references, TJKM of Pleasanton, CA was selected as the most qualified firm to provide civil engineering design services for the Project. Staff and TJKM negotiated the scope of work and cost for the services and agreed upon $700,847.15 as a fair and reasonable compensation for the services needed to complete the design phase of the Project.

Financial Impact
The overall Project budget is $7,782,500 and consists of $7,004,250 of HSIP Grant Funds (Fund 402) and $778,250 of Measure V Funds (Fund 490). The current Project

budget for design is $778,250, with the remaining budget allocated for construction.

There is sufficient budget available for this design Professional Services Agreement.

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 approval of the Professional Services Agreement does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections 15060(c) and/or 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 the award of the Professional Services Agreement did not 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.” Accordingly, no further environmental review is necessary. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

D. CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review. If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR 31 and other related laws and regulations. In the instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s work papers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform

Page 9 of 45 ends

to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.

3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST

Page 10 of 45 ends

SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.

ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING
A. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the CONSULTANT of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONSULTANT agrees to be as fully responsible to the LOCAL AGENCY for the acts and omissions of its Subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT's obligation to pay its Subconsultants is an independent obligation from the LOCAL AGENCY's obligation to make payments to the CONSULTANT.

B. The CONSULTANT shall perform the work contemplated with resources available within its own organization and no portion of the work shall be subcontracted without written authorization by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator, except that which is expressly identified in the CONSULTANT’s approved Cost Proposal.

C. Any subagreement entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT, shall contain all the provisions stipulated in this entire AGREEMENT to be applicable to Subconsultants unless otherwise noted.

CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR CITYWIDE INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE OF TRAFFIC SIGNS, CITY PROJECT NO. 2796, PJ 2796

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Management
Task 1.1 Overall Project Management
TJKM’s Project Manager, Mr. Nayan Amin, TE, will provide overall project management and serve as the primary point of contact for City of Concor d. He will be responsible for coordinating all TJKM Team activities, maintaining clear communication with City staff, and ensuring the project is delivered on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with the City’s expectations.

Key responsibilities include establishing and main taining the project schedule, overseeing task execution, monitoring budget and progress, and proactively identifying and resolving any issues that may impact project delivery. Mr. Amin w ill implement a structured project management approach that emphasizes accountability, transparency, and responsiveness. Throughout the project, Mr. Amin will maintain regular communica tion with the City’s Project Manager and key stakeholders. This will include:
• Monthly Progress Reporting: Written updates addressing schedule, budget, task progress, and any issues or risks
• Ongoing Coordination: Regular meetings with City staff and coordination with external stakeholders, including Caltrans and other agencies, as needed • Documentation and Communication: Preparatio n and distribution of meeting agendas, minutes, and project records, as well as timely responses to RFIs Mr. Amin will also maintain and update the pr oject schedule on a monthly basis, or more frequently as needed. Status reporting will include detailed updates on schedule adherence, budget performance, task progress, and identification of any challenges along with recommended solutions.

Task 1.2 Project Management and Kick-Off Meeting
Following authorization to proceed, TJKM will cond uct a project kick-off meeting with City staff to confirm project expectations and establish a clear path forward. TJKM will prepare and distribute a detailed agenda in advance of the meeting.

Page 30 of 45 ends

2 The purpose of the kick-off meeting is to review the project background, scope, schedule, and management procedures, with particular emph asis on data collection methodologies and evaluation criteria. TJKM will present the prop osed approach, confirm communication protocols, and identify any available data or resources fr om the City that will support efficient project delivery. We recommend participation from both engineering and maintenance staff to ensure alignment across departments.

TJKM will document the meeting and distribute clear, concise meeting minutes, including action items and responsibilities.

Deliverables: Project Management Package, including project kick-off meeting agenda and minutes, project schedule, monthly progress reports, meeting agendas and minutes, project documentation, and updated project management and master files Task 2: Database, Assessment, and Street Sign Program
The objective of this task is to develop a comprehensive, GIS-based invent ory of all traffic signs within the project limits and establish a long -term asset management database that supports maintenance, regulatory compliance, and future capital planning. TJKM wi ll utilize mobile GIS technology, standardized data collection procedures, and rigorous quality assurance protocols to deliver an accurate, complete, and user-friendly inventory that integrates seamlessly with the City's existing GIS environment.

Rather than producing a static inventory, the resulting database will serve as a living asset management tool that enables City staff to efficiently monitor sign conditions, schedule maintenance activities, prioritize replacements, and update inventory information as assets are repaired, replaced, or installed.

Data Review and Inventory Planning
Prior to beginning field activities, TJKM will review available GIS data, aerial photography, roadway centerlines, existing sign inventory records, main tenance logs, collision data, and applicable City standards. This information will be used to de velop the field inventory strategy, establish data collection requirements, and finalize the database structure in coordinati on with City staff. A project-specific data dictionary will be develope d to ensure consistent attribute collection and compatibility with the City's GIS and asset management systems.

Pilot Area Inventory and Validation
Prior to initiating full-scale field data collecti on, TJKM will complete a pilot inventory within a representative area selected in coordination with the city. The pilot area will include a variety of roadway classifications and traffi c control devices to verify that the proposed data collection procedures, GIS database structure, attribute fields, photo standards, and reporting formats meet the City's expectations.

Page 31 of 45 ends

3 The pilot inventory allows the city to review th e proposed deliverables early in the project and provide feedback before full deployment. This collaborative approach minimizes rework, ensures consistency throughout the inventory process, and establishes a mutually agreed-upon standard for data collection and quality. During the pilot phase, TJKM will:
• Validate the GIS database structure and attribute fields • Confirm GPS accuracy and photo quality
• Verify MUTCD sign coding and asset identification procedures • Demonstrate the mobile GIS data collection workflow
• Review data consistency and completeness with City staff • Refine field procedures based on City comments, if necessary Following City acceptance of the pilot inventory, TJKM will proceed with full-scale data collection using the approved methodology and database structure.

Field Inventory
As part of the inventory process, TJKM will inst all a durable, weather-resistant barcode label on each sign assembly. Each barcode will be permanently linked to the GIS asset database, allowing City staff to instantly retrieve asset information using a smartphone or tablet while in the field.

The barcode will provide direct access to the sign 's inventory record, inspection history, retro reflectivity measurements, maintenance activities , installation date, repl acement history, work orders, photographs, and any future updates. This creates a comprehensive, long-term asset management system that greatly simplifies fu ture inspections, maintenance operations, and inventory updates without requiring personnel to manually locate or reidentify signs.

TJKM will utilize GPS-enabled mobile GIS applicatio ns to electronically collect inventory data in the field. Information will be entered directly into standardized digital forms with built-in quality control checks, minimizing transcription errors, improving consistency, and allowing field data to synchronize seamlessly with the project geodatabase. Real-time validation rules ensure complete and accurate data collection while enabling project managers to monitor field progress throughout the inventory.

Each traffic sign will be photographed, georeferenced, and assigned a unique asset identification number. Inventory attributes will include, as appropriate:
• GPS coordinates (sub-meter accuracy, where available) • MUTCD sign designation
• Sign description
• Sign dimensions
• Sign material and sheeting type (if identifiable)
• Mounting height
• Lateral offset

Page 32 of 45 ends

4 • Sign orientation (bearing)
• Post type, size, and condition
• Foundation condition (where visible)
• Number of signs mounted on each post
• Sign condition assessment
• Retro reflectivity status (when collected)
• Visibility limitations
• Vegetation or roadside obstructions
• Missing, damaged, faded, or non-compliant signs
• Installation, repair, or replacement recommendations
• Hyperlinked, high-resolution photographs
The completed GIS database will be fully compatib le with the City's GIS platform and structured to support future maintenance management, asset tracking, MUTCD compliance, retro reflectivity management, budgeting, and capital improvement planning. By combining high-quality field inventory procedures with an integrated GIS asset management system, TJKM will provide the city with a sustainable, easy-to-maintain database that can support traffic sign management for many years beyond completion of the project.

Retro reflectivity and Condition Assessment
TJKM will perform retro reflectivity measurements using a calibrated handheld retro reflectometer, the industry-standard instrument accepted by both the California MUTCD and FHWA for evaluating traffic sign retro reflectivity. The inst rument will be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and measurements will be obtained using standardized field procedures to ensure consistency and repeatability throughout the project.

In addition to retro reflectivity testing, TJKM 's field personnel will conduct a comprehensive condition assessment of each traffi c sign. Each sign will be evaluated to determine its structural integrity, operational effectiveness, visibility, and overall compliance with current California MUTCD requirements. Signs exhibiting deterioration, fading, vandalism, physical damage, improper installation, reduced nighttime visibility, or other defici encies will be documented and recommended for maintenance, replacement, or further engineering evaluation.

Field evaluations will include, as appropriate:
• Retro reflectivity measurement
• Sign face condition (fading, delamination, corrosion, vandalism, graffiti, cracking, or damage) • Physical damage to sign panels
• Post type, condition, and structural stability
• Leaning, damaged, or improperly installed posts
• Mounting height compliance
• Lateral offset compliance

Page 33 of 45 ends

5 • Sign orientation and readability
• Vegetation or other visibility obstructions
• Available stopping sight distance
• Missing, loose, or damaged mounting hardware
• Duplicate, redundant, obsolete, or conflicting signs
• Nighttime visibility and conspicuity
• Overall compliance with California MUTCD standards
All inspection results will be incorporated into the GIS asset management database and linked to each sign's unique asset identification number. Photographs, retro reflectivity measurements, inspection dates, and condition ratings will be stored electronically, allowing City staff to efficiently track maintenance history, prioritize replacements, monitor compliance, and support future sign management activities.

The completed condition assessment will serve as the technical foundation for developing prioritized replacement and maintenance recomme ndations. TJKM will prepare a risk-based prioritization considering regulato ry compliance, retro reflectivity performance, sign condition, roadway functional classification, traffic volu mes, roadway speed, and the potential safety consequences of each identified deficiency. This approach enables the city to strategically allocate maintenance resources while maintaining comp liance with California MUTCD and FHWA requirements.

Quality Assurance and Database Development
Quality assurance procedures will be implemente d throughout the inventory process to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the collected da ta. Daily reviews of field data will verify GPS locations, attribute consistency, photograph qu ality, and compliance with the project data dictionary.

Prior to project completion, the database will undergo comprehensive validation to identify duplicate records, missing attributes, inconsistent coding, and spatial inaccuracies. The final GIS database will be configured for compatibilit y with the City's existing GIS environment and designed to support future updates without requiring extensive modifications.

Database Delivery and Staff Training
Upon completion of the inventory, TJKM will provide the City with a fully functional GIS- compatible database, associated documentation, and staff training to facilitate long-term use and maintenance of the system. Training will incl ude database navigation, editing procedures, querying inventory information, updating asset records, and generating reports to support maintenance planning and CIP Projects. Electronic deliverables will include GIS files, metadata, photographs, and supporting documentation in formats compatible with the City's existing software platforms.

Page 34 of 45 ends

6 Deliverables: GIS based traffic sign asset management database; GIS compatible data files and metadata; and Staff Training
Task 3: Assessment and Engineering Evaluation
The objective of this task is to evaluate the City's traffic sign ing system, identify safety and operational deficiencies, and develop a prioritized, implementation-ready improvement program that enhances roadway safety, improves regula tory compliance, and supports long-term asset management. Building upon the GIS inventory co mpleted under Task 2, TJKM will perform a comprehensive engineering evaluation using field observations, California MUTCD requirements, roadway characteristics, crash history, and Safe System principles.

Rather than simply identifying de ficiencies, our approach focuses on developing practical, cost- effective recommendations that can be incorporated into the City's maintenance program, CIP, and future HSIP, SS4A, and other competitive funding applications.

Task 3.1 Existing Conditions and Regulatory Compliance Assessment TJKM will evaluate the existing traffic signing sy stem to determine its effectiveness, consistency, and compliance with the California MUTCD and applicable engineering standards. The evaluation will incorporate field observations, inventory data, retro reflectivity measurements, roadway characteristics, and engineering judgment to identify locations requiring corrective action. The assessment will include, but not be limited to:
• Missing, damaged, faded, or non-compliant traffic signs • Improper sign placement, mounting height, or lateral offset • Inconsistent or redundant signing
• Nighttime visibility and retro reflectivity deficiencies • Vegetation and roadside obstructions affecting sign visibility • Opportunities to improve driver expectancy and sign conspicuity • Coordination between traffic signs and pavement markings where operational improvements are warranted
Task 3.2 Crash Analysis and Risk Assessment (Scope Enhancement) To ensure recommendations are focused on location s with the greatest safety needs, TJKM will integrate available crash data, including SWITRS and TIMS records, with the field inventory. Crash patterns will be evaluated to identify corridors and locations where signing improvements can reduce crash potential and improve roadway safety. The evaluation will consider:
• Crash frequency and severity
• Roadway departure collisions
• Pedestrian and bicycle crashes
• School zone safety
• High Injury Network (HIN) corridors

Page 35 of 45 ends

7 • Operating speeds and roadway classification
• Nighttime crash patterns
This risk-based approach ensures that limited funding is directed toward improvements with the greatest potential safety benefit.

Task 3.3 Safe System Evaluation and Improvement Opportunities (Scope Enhancement) Recommendations will be developed using the FH WA Safe System Approach, recognizing that roadway users make mistakes and that transportation systems should minimize the likelihood and severity of crashes. The evaluation will emphasize improvements that create safer roadway environments for all users, particularly pedestrian s, bicyclists, older adults, school-age children, and other vulnerable roadway users. Potential improvement opportunities include:
• Replacement of deteriorated or non-compliant signs
• Enhanced warning signs and oversized signs where warranted • Curve warning and chevron signing improvements
• Advisory speed signing
• School zone signing enhancements
• Pedestrian crossing signing and RRFB candidate locations • Sign relocation to improve visibility
• Vegetation management to improve sign conspicuity
• Upgraded retroreflective sheeting for improved nighttime visibility • Additional regulatory or warning signs where engineering judgment indicates a safety benefit Task 3.4 Prioritization and Implementation Strategy (Scope Enhancement) TJKM will develop a practical prioritizati on framework that organizes recommended improvements according to safety need, implementation complexity, and funding opportunities.

Recommendations will be evaluated using engineering judgment and objective criteria, including crash history, roadway function, traffic volumes, operating speeds, vulnerable roadway users, sign condition, and regulatory compliance. Recommended improvements will be organized into three implementation tiers:
• Priority 1 – Critical Safety Improvements: Locations with significant safety deficiencies, severe crash histories, or immediate regulatory concerns.
• Priority 2 – Near-Term Improvements: Locations with moderate safety or operational deficiencies requiring planned replacement or upgrades. • Priority 3 – System Preservation Improvem ents: Routine replacement and maintenance activities supporting long-term asset management and MUTCD compliance.

Where appropriate, recommendations will identify opportunities for incorporation into future maintenance programs, CIP projects, and competitive funding applications.

Task 3.5 Roadway Safety Signing Audit Report

Page 36 of 45 ends

8 TJKM will prepare a comprehensive Roadway Sa fety Signing Audit Report documenting the project methodology, evaluation process, findings, and recommended improvements. The report will provide City staff with a practical implementation roadmap supported by maps, photographs, GIS exhibits, and planning-level cost estimates. The report will include:
• Executive Summary
• Existing Conditions Assessment
• Regulatory Compliance Evaluation
• Crash Analysis and Risk Assessment
• Safe System Evaluation
• Prioritized Recommendations
• Planning-Level Cost Estimates
• Phased Implementation Strategy
• Funding Opportunities
• GIS Maps and Supporting Exhibits
Deliverables: Roadway Safety Signing Audit Report, including existing conditions and regulatory compliance assessment, crash and risk analysis , Safe System evaluation, prioritized signing improvement recommendations, implementation stra tegy, planning-level cost estimates, funding opportunities, GIS maps and exhibits, and supporting documentation Task 4: Utility Research and Notification
Successful implementation of the recommended signing improvements requires early coordination to identify potential constraints and confirm that the proposed improvements can be efficiently advanced into final design and cons truction. TJKM will work closely with City staff throughout this task to review implementation pr iorities, evaluate potential conflicts, and ensure recommendations are practical, constructible, and consistent with the City's standards, maintenance practices, and available funding.

Available utility information, GIS mapping, as-built records, and other available infrastructure data will be reviewed to identify potential conflicts th at could affect sign installation or replacement.

Where necessary, TJKM will coordinate with utility providers and other affected agencies to verify existing facilities and recommend practical solutions that minimize impacts during construction.

TJKM will also identify implem entation considerations that may influence project delivery, including right-of-way limitations, roadside obstructions, ADA accessibility requirements, environmental considerations, traffic control requirements, and opportunities to coordinate improvements with planned maintenance or capital projects. Identifying these issues early in the process will reduce redesign during PS&E development and support efficient project delivery.

Page 37 of 45 ends

9 This collaborative approach ensures that the recommended improvements are technically feasible, cost-effective, and implementation-ready before advancing to preparation of construction documents.

Deliverables: Utility Research and Coordination Report, including utility records review, GIS and as- built research, utility coordination and notification summary, identification of potential utility conflicts, implementation constraints assessment (right-of-way, ADA, environmental, and constructability considerations), recommended conflict mitigation strategies, updated GIS mapping, and supporting documentation to facilitate final design and construction Task 5: Plans, specifications, and estimates
Upon approval of the recommended signing improvements, TJKM will prepare complete, construction-ready PS&E for the replacement and installation of traffic signs identified during the roadway safety signing audit. The PS&E package w i l l b e p r e p a r e d i n a c c o r d a n c e w i t h C i t y standards, the California MUTCD, Caltrans Stan dard Plans and Specifications, and applicable Caltrans Local Assistance requirements.

Design development will incorporate the findings from the implementation readiness assessment completed under Task 4 to address utility conflict s, right-of-way limitations, ADA considerations, constructability, and traffic control requirements. Progressive design reviews will allow City staff to provide input throughout the design pr ocess while maintaining schedule and budget objectives.

Task 5.1 Prepare Preliminary Design (35%)
TJKM will prepare the preliminary (35%) design package by developing a GIS-based project base map using the City's existing GIS data, available aerial imagery, and targeted field verification. The base map will serve as the foundation for the desi gn by identifying the locations of signs to be removed, replaced, or newly installed. Beca use the project primarily involves signing improvements within existing righ ts-of-way, a traditional topograp hic survey is not anticipated, allowing project resources to be focused on implementation.

The preliminary design will establish the over all project layout, conf irm sign locations and proposed improvements, identify applicable standards, and develop an initial Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost. TJKM will conduct a review meet ing with City staff to confirm project priorities, implementation assumptions, and design criter ia before advancing the project to the next phase.

A s p a r t o f t h e p r e l i m i n a r y d e s i g n , T J K M w i l l perform a constructability review to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed improvements and identify potential constraints that could affect project delivery. The review will consider traffic control requirements, util ity conflicts, roadside conditions, environmental commitments, material availability, access limitations, and construction sequencing to support efficient implementation.

Page 38 of 45 ends

10 TJKM will also develop a preliminary implementation and phasing plan that organizes improvements into logical construction packages based on geographic location, roadway classification, traffic operations, available funding, and implementation priorities. Opportunities to coordinate signing improvements with planned pavement rehabilitation, roadway maintenance, utility work, and other CIP projects will also be id entified to improve cons truction efficiency and minimize impacts to the traveling public.

Task 5.2 65% PS&E
TJKM will prepare a 65% PS&E package that clearly defines the scope and location of all proposed improvements. This submittal is intended to provide the City and Contractor with a clear understanding of the work to be performed. The 65% PS&E will include:

Subject: Considering approval of a professional services agreement for security guard services at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station to Guardian Security Agency, in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,050,000 (consisting of $900,000 based on the estimated need for services which includes additional
weekend and after-hours security, plus an additional $150,000 should the City require additional services) for the initial term to June 30, 2029, with the option to extend the agreement three (3) additional one (1) year periods in the not-to-exceed amount of $350,000 for each extension term (up to a total amount of $2,100,000); and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. (Funding will be provided by GoMentum Station)
CEQA: Not a project/exempt per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15378, and/or Public Resources Code Section 21065
Report in Brief
The Local Reuse Authority has provided security guard services to monitor the former Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) entry gates since September 2016. The establishment of secure entry gates was requested by the U.S. Navy, Contra Costa County, East Bay Regional Park District, and GoMentum Station as an alternative to using the main gate under the control of the U.S. Army – Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO). The current security guard services contract is expiring on August 31, 2026. LRA staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for security services for the entry gates to the CNWS (Willow Pass Road and Bailey Road) for the next 3 years (with three one-year extensions) and, after review of 9 proposals, is recommending Guardian

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.e
August 25, 2026
Security Agency be awarded the contract. The funding for the security services will be provided from reimbursements from GoMentum Station.

Recommended Action
Award a contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,050,000 (consisting of $900,000 based on the estimated need for services which includes extended weekend and weeknight security, plus an additional $150,000 should the City require additional services) for the initial term to June 30, 2029, with the option to extend the contract three (3) additional one (1) year periods in the not-to-exceed amount of $350,000 for each extension term (up to a total amount of $2,100,000 and 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
Since 2016, the City Council has authorized, and the LRA has procured, security guard services to monitor CNWS entry gates. Secured access to CNWS became necessary as activity related to the testing of autonomous and connected vehicles increased under the interim use by GoMentum Station. For the last ten years the City has used Guardian Security Agency for this purpose. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, GoMentum Station reimburses the LRA for the cost of these security services.

The activity level at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station requires three to five security guards to have all necessary hours covered. The gate is open between 8 and 12 hours a day – sometimes even longer, depending upon the demands of the various users of the base. Earlier this year the City initiated a competitive process to select a security guard services provider through issuance of a Request for Proposals.

Analysis
Nine (9) bidders responded to the Request for Proposals (RFP). These responses were ranked using predetermined criteria such as company experience, approach to management, and service costs. The RFP indicated that the contract would be for a three-year initial term with three one-year extension options. Guardian Security Agency received the highest overall score and the evaluation panel agreed the company was the best fit for the City of Concord. LRA staff has been satisfied with their exceptional responsiveness and customer service for the last ten years.

Guardian Security Agency’s bid of $293,676 per year was based on the RFP’s estimate of services required. Since issuance of the RFP, GoMentum Station has indicated a need for more hours each year. Therefore, the attached agreement has a not-to-exceed amount set at $1,050,000. The increased services relate to weekend and/or “after- hours” access to the site. Guardian Security Agency will bill the LRA based on actual hours they work staffing the entry gates.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.e
August 25, 2026
The City has the option to extend the contract for three (3) additional one (1) year terms, with no increase in the hourly rate charged to the LRA as found in Exhibit B of Attachment 2 – Guardian Security Agency response. The not-to-exceed amount would be the same ($350,000) for each extension.

Procurement Process
Request for Proposal #EDBR 2026-RFP-00002 was issued on June 15, 2026 with a due date of July 2, 2026. Nine (9) proposals were received. A panel of three evaluated the proposals and determined Guardian Security Agency met all of the requirements of the proposal and were the best fit for the work scope requested.

Financial Impact
As noted above, GoMentum Station will reimburse the LRA for the cost of security services. There is no impact on the City’s General Fund.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), and/or 15378, City Council action on this item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”

GSA_W9_2026.pdf

2. How many years have you been doing business under the current firm name?* Delta Personnel Services, Inc. dba Guardian Security Agency has been in business for over 34 years, operating continually since June 12, 1992, out of our office space in downtown Concord located at 1820 Galindo Street.

3. Describe your organizational structure including your officers and administrative departments.* Guardian is a division of Delta Personnel Services, Inc., a California Corporation. It is a privately held company, wholly owned and operated by David and Judy Travers and their daughter, Heather, who joined the company upon graduation from Chico State. Delta is listed with the County as a woman owned, small business as 58% of the stock is owned by Judy and Heather. Delta is also certified nationally by the WBENC as both a Woman Owned Business and a Woman Owned Small Business. It is also a certified WBE through the State’s Suppliers Clearing House.

Founded in June of 1983, Delta has been providing flexible staffing for companies and institutions throughout the state for over forty- two years. Delta's business is Human Resource Management. It has conducted business under several d.b.a.'s, but its primary focus is recruiting, screening, hiring, credentialing, staffing and the ongoing training and supervision of personnel for the clients it serves.

Delta’s principals have provided supplemental medical staff to the County for over forty-three (43) years through a Health Services contract. Drawing from the experience and knowledge gained from providing well trained, licensed professionals to the medical community, Delta’s president created Guardian in 1992 to bring that same expertise and professionalism to the security field.

Guardian’s mission statement is as follows: “Guardian Security Agency is dedicated to providing effective, timely security services to its client’s satisfaction with integrity and professionalism while providing stable, long term employment opportunities to qualified individuals”.

Guardian is organized with its President, David Travers serving as State Licensed Qualified Manager. He is responsible for all security- related operations of the company as well as Sales and Marketing. Heather Perry, Executive Vice-President, and Operations Manager reports directly to him. Training and Quality Assurance, Staffing and Field Supervision report upwardly through Mrs. Perry to Mr. Travers. Administratively, Judy Travers, the CEO, is directly responsible for Human Resources, Billing and Payroll, Accounts Payable and Accounting. Those departments report directly to her. She and Mr. Travers, along with Heather Perry comprise the Board of Directors who oversees the entire operation.

Guardian’s management team has over forty-five years of combined law enforcement experience and over seventy-five years of combined personnel management experience. The Guardian management team is knowledgeable in all facets of law enforcement and security work. The individuals who will be directly responsible for the management and local supervision of this project have experience that covers a wide area of expertise from undercover surveillance to assisting in the protection of two United States Presidents and a Vice-President. These individuals have logged hours in Investigations, Vice, Narcotics, Mounted Patrol, Evidence, Extraditions, Fugitive Recovery, Investigations and Street Patrol in addition to numerous special details that include Body Guarding, Crowd Control and Search & Rescue. From a security standpoint, they are experienced in providing stationary and mobile security patrol, access control, special events and alarm response to clients with single facilities and locations as well as those with multiple facilities and locations.

Most appropriately, it should be pointed out that Guardian is the current provider for contract to which this RFP refers. In fact, we were the originators and developers of the current security program at CNWS. We were selected because of our local presence and our track record with several County Departments. We have been retained because we have been successful in meeting the City’s diverse needs in a prompt and efficient manner. Over our many years of service, Guardian has never failed to meet the City’s needs in a timely and acceptable manner. Guardian maintains an average of one hundred-ten (110) security officers on staff in Contra Costa County to meet the varied needs of our clients.

We have provided satisfactory personnel and have been able to respond on short notice when necessary. For the most part, the officers we’ve selected and assigned to this project have been well liked and have worked well in whatever environment we have placed them in. They have gotten along well with the MOTCO and Next Generation Mobility staff and guests and have successfully

intervened in an appropriate manner when altercations and problems arise. We have worked hard to achieve a significant level of continuity for the city. In an industry whose turnover rate can sometimes reach 200% to 300% ours is significantly lower, in the 20% to 30% range (even less on the CNWS site).

Based on the above detail, Guardian has clearly demonstrated it has the experience and capacity to manage security service projects of the size and scope projected in this RFP. It has successfully done so since 2016.

Guardian provides security services for over sixty (60) customers. Many of these are entities that require regular contact with the public and with people who are ethnically diverse and gender mixed. Throughout the course of providing service for all these clients, our officers deal with people of different genders as well as those from many diverse cultures and backgrounds, racially, religiously, and sexually.

Guardian Security Agency’s office is located in Concord, California. We are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We provide personal care using trained company personnel, not an answering machine, service or AI. We have a supervisor and an administrator on duty at all times. All management and supervisory personnel carry cellular phones. This way you can have virtually instant contact with our management team and supervisors if the need arises.

4. Describe the process your company uses for the hiring, training and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of guards it employs.* It is the policy of Guardian to recruit, interview and employ only qualified individuals without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual preference, or age. Such individuals comprise a stable workforce that is trainable, can keep pace with changing demands, are generally more promotable and attract other highly qualified applicants.

Guardian strives to meet the following minimum criteria for Security Officer candidates:

A. Be at least 18 years of age.

B. Be a high school graduate with the ability to prove such status; or possess an equivalency certificate; or participate in the Guardian training program and average a score of passing and attain a passing score on the Guardian administered training examinations. All documentation will be maintained in the employee's personnel folder.

C. Be of good general health without physical defects or abnormalities which would interfere with performance of duties.

The Guardian screening, evaluation and selection processes are conducted to ensure that our clients are provided professional security personnel who are dependable, reliable and subject to high retention. Our step-by-step approach to this process is unique, in that it permits orderly elimination of individuals should they fail to meet the criteria established at each step. The system is outlined below.

Guardian has been remarkably successful in developing and maintaining a favorable reputation with our most productive recruiting sources. These sources provide Guardian with a steady stream of applicants who meet or exceed our rigid standards.

Reception of Applicants
A. Completion of Guardian's application for employment.

B. All applicants must have a satisfactory criminal background investigation completed which is evidenced by possession of a current, valid California Guard Card. In order to obtain this Guard Card, the applicant must submit to a national Live Scan fingerprint check conducted by the FBI and a State DOJ criminal history background. Once the State is assured this applicant meets the States requirements for registration the Guard Card is issued.

C. Verification, by testing, of reading and writing skills.

A. A Guardian supervisor will review the employment application to determine generally whether the applicant has the ability and the desire to join Guardian's team in the capacity for which job openings exist.

B. The applicant is then given a brief interview to eliminate those who are obviously unsuitable and to give those who appear promising a clear general picture of the Company as a whole and the responsibilities and duties of the position for which the applicant is applying.

C. After the interview, a background investigation is conducted by checking employment and personal references, criminal history and verifying the information on the applicant's application. A professional backgrounding company is engaged to conduct and verify criminal and work history as allowed by State law.

D. During this time, the applicant is invited back for a second, more in-depth interview. During this time, clarifications are made regarding issues brought up during the screening process.

E. If requested by a client, drug screening is available and conducted.

F. If the applicant is deemed suitable for employment with Guardian, they are then invited to attend a six-hour orientation class where company policies and procedures are explained. The purpose of this class is to establish exactly what the company expects from its’ employees and what the employees can expect from the company. Guardian has found that this is the best possible way to start an employment relationship. Once completed, those who successfully complete the class will be asked to join our guard family.

Officer Training
Our dedicated Training Department has developed training programs that our prospective security officers can easily understand and implement at your facilities. In fact, Guardian’s President was instrumental in working with the state to pass and implement the required, state-wide Security Officer Training requirements. Much of the curriculum was taken from that which Guardian has been using since its inception. Obviously, Guardian’s training is consistent with the requirements of the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Our training material comes from CALSAGA (state security trade assoc.) and is used by many companies throughout the state.

Guardian’s Training Department is overseen by Tony Benavides, our Director of Training and Quality Assurance [email protected]. Tony is a retired Sergeant from the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department where is final assignment was Deputy Chief of Security coordinating the staffing for both EHSD/CSB and the Health Services contracts. Tony and his staff are constantly updating the programs to keep up with today's security needs. The training programs include general subjects as well as specialized subjects that relate to a particular industry or type of facility.

The programs are designed to be entertaining enough to maintain the officers’ interest, as well as to provide them with information to protect themselves, your facilities, and their occupants. Classroom instruction, home study modules, and various hands-on exercises are utilized to illustrate the various areas covered. Written exams are given for each major topic in order to assure comprehension and document completion.

The initial training is a block of approximately eight (8) hours of classroom training. It includes the state mandated Powers of Arrest (5 Hrs.) training and Appropriate Use of Force (3 Hrs.). Subsequent to that, all officers are required to complete a State required curriculum that is designed to help them do their job effectively. This course is the classroom equivalent of an additional thirty-two (32) hours of instruction. Finally, ongoing classroom training on various advanced subjects is offered in two (2) hour blocks every Monday or as specially scheduled. On-site training and orientation take place as needed and required and the time allocated is variable, depending on the circumstances and need. In addition, all officers are required to complete, at minimum, eight (8) hours annually of additional continuing education and training. Guardian documents all training in compliance with State law by providing State approved certificates of completion to each officer and maintaining a copy in the employee’s personnel file. A back-up training log is also maintained.

Training topics include but are not limited to the following:

A. Employer Policies/Orientation - General Orientation covering company philosophy stressing our concern for delivering a quality service to our clients, our organizational structure, policies & procedures, reports, scheduling, Use of Force Policy, Uniforms, Forms, career opportunities within Guardian and various incentive programs offered by Guardian.

B. Public Relations - Discusses communication skills, appearance, and attitude. Emphasis is placed on how these elements affect the projection of authority and professionalism. Verbal diffusion techniques are taught. Recognizing Gender & Racial harassment & discrimination and cultural diversity and civil rights sensitivity are covered in this section. Instruction and exercises are utilized to demonstrate how these skills work.

C. Observation & Documentation - Here the officer learns to be observant through several exercises testing his/her skill. The relationship to observing and reporting accurately is emphasized. This section covers Report Writing, English as a second language, observation, and patrol techniques, asking appropriate questions, i.e., Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. The Guardian Daily Activity Report and the Guardian Incident Report are used as tools to practice their skill.

D. Communication and its Significance - Deals with both internal communication (who to contact and when, use of radios and cell phones, other technology) and external communication (emergency/first responders, medical personnel, law enforcement, city, and government services)
E. Liability/Legal Aspects- Describes what a security officer is and what is expected of him/her, as well as how he or she is viewed by the public and the client. It deals with liability and the officer’s role therein. It includes sections on BSIS Code & Regulations, Patrol Procedures, and Ethics. This section also reinforces Guardian's rules and regulations.

F. Safety Hazards and Fire Protection - Aid the officers in identifying what constitutes potential hazards. They then outline procedures to follow under several sets of circumstances and how to report the situation. Fire Prevention as well as fighting and control measures are emphasized in this area. The officer learns the types of fires and how to extinguish fires using proper extinguishers.

G. Access Control - Various access control methods are discussed during this period. Actual logs and forms are utilized in an exercise emphasizing the importance of completing all pertinent sections. The logs used most often are visitor logs, truck logs and property pass logs. Further discussion includes the use of badge and identifying procedures.

H. Emergency Preparedness - Types of emergencies and disturbances are discussed such as Injuries, Bomb Threats, Fires, Intrusions, and Disturbances
Methods of responding to these and other types of emergencies are offered. Familiarization with post orders at a facility and the emergency telephone numbers is essential and highly stressed since the officer will have to react quickly in these circumstances. This section includes First Aid and CPR familiarization.

I. Handling Disruptive People - Deals with how to successfully deal with disruptive people in the workplace. It is imperative that today’s security officer understands his or her role in potentially violent situations and is trained to respond

appropriately. This section helps the security officer develop skills to recognize potentially violent situations and be able to utilize appropriate and effective verbal skill management techniques to diffuse them.

J. Alcohol & Drug Dependency - Deals with substance abuse, its causes, and effects. Its purpose help security officers to identify subjects under the influence of various substances, understand their potential actions and reactions, and to effectively and safely deal with them.

On The Job Training - All officers will have a general familiarization with the particular facility prior to their actual arrival for on-the- job-training. We believe that the officer should know what is expected of him so that he does not undertake responsibilities beyond his interest or capabilities. This procedure has been an important factor in reducing turnover.

After a Security Officer has completed the in-house portion of their training, their on-site training begins.The physical site and the client's needs are carefully reviewed and information on local law enforcement and emergency services is provided. This training, conducted by a supervisor, ensures that an officer is ready to respond to any special condition which may occur at a particular post.

Post Orders, a written set of guidelines, duties, and expectations, which are prepared for each facility, are an important part of the training process. The security officer must be fully familiar with the procedures and job duties at their assigned facility. In addition, the officer will receive supervised training in the actual duties they are to perform. They are then tested on that instruction. Only when the training supervisor feels that the officer can fully perform his job will he or she be given the regular security responsibility.

After the initial on-the-job training, a supervisor will follow up to ensure that the security officers assigned remain competent in performing their duties. Regular inspections are conducted to maintain a consistent high level of service.

Supervisory Training - The position of Supervisor is extremely critical to the Guardian operational structure. For this reason, we put special effort into selecting and training the individuals chosen for the supervisory function. Supervisors are chosen from within our ranks from individuals who demonstrate leadership qualities and a desire to help maintain the company’s high standards while helping officers maintain their professionalism. Prospective supervisors attend and complete an in-house supervisory training course. This course includes basic personnel skills, sexual harassment training as required by law, and specific company requirements for supervisors. They are then trained on each site the company serves and taught the particular requirements of each client and facility.

In addition to security training and supervisory training, the supervisor is expected to:

N. Contact replacement or site assigned relief personnel, for any absentees or emergency situations requiring additional security coverage. Maintain complete coverage of all posts.

5. Attach your service plan detailing how you intend to perform the service requirements to the levels described in the RFP. Describe the level of experience the City should expect of the guards assigned to perform the contract services. * CNWS_Post_Orders.pdf

6. Describe the nature of supervision and support your company provides to guards in the field.* Since the contract’s inception, there has been an on-site Supervisor assigned to the contract. This is a position that was requested by the City of Concord staff. It is that supervisor’s responsibility to assure the officers are performing in accordance with the contracted SOW, that they meet Guardian’s uniform and conduct requirements and that they receive their State authorized and required breaks.

Furthermore, the on-site supervisor is the first point of interactive contact between Guardian and the City, MOTCO and Next Generation Mobility. The current on-site supervisor is D Smith who helped set up the original contract and has held the supervisor position since it was first established.

In addition, all Guardian Security Agency’s clients receive 24-hour, daily-per-shift supervision from our highly experienced mobile field supervisors. We have established a policy of mandatory check-ins and daily random site checks. Our ratio of supervisors to officers is approximately one to twenty. Duty supervisors carry cellular phones in order to be readily available to answer questions and respond to any problems that may arise. In addition, there is an administrator on duty at all times to deal with any needs or situations that may rise above the supervisor level. This level of supervision is more than that which is usually offered by any other company.

Supervisors conduct site training and instruction; conduct random site visits to check on the officers’ welfare and ensure they are comfortable and knowledgeable as to the site’s requirements and their responsibilities and to ensure they are in compliance with State and Guardian’s policies. They conduct any remedial training and initial disciplinary action as needed.

7. Identifiy the employee who will be assigned as project lead and single point of contact for the City during the contract term.

Provide qualifications/resume for this employee.*

8. Attach the schedule for meeting the requirements in Section 3.2, Scope of Services. Show the number of guards assigned and length of shifts included in the daily rate in the Pricing Proposal.* Please upload a document with this information.

CNWS_Schedule_2026.pdf

9. Describe your process for guard "login/logout" for tracking actual hours on site.* Guardian utilizes an electronic monitoring system to track the officers actual hours on site. The system uses GPS and geofences to ensure that the officers are on the assigned location before it allows them to clock in. Dispatcher and admin staff track that officers are on the assigned post in time for the shift to begin and open/close the property on time. Officers have multiple ways they could check in to system to ensure backup in case there are malfunctions of any systems. Periodic check ins help track that officers are still active and remain on the property. The officers use the same system to clock out for the day, again utilizing GPS and geofences to ensure this is being done from the property. If clock in and clock outs are not active in the system, it alerts the dispatch staff so a supervisor can be dispatched and check on the problem or provide backup. Company provided cell phones have the application loaded on them in the event the officers personal phone is not operating properly. Thus provided another level of verification.

10. Overall how many certified guard personnel do you have available to be assigned to this project?* As previously stated, Guardian usually has between 110 and 120 officers on its roster. Of that number at least 90% would have the qualifications required by this RFP and contract.

11. To what extent can the City expect consistency as far as the same the guards being assigned to this project?* Guardian Security Agency has been able to maintain consistency continuously during the ten years we have been providing service at the site. In spite of medical issues and other situations that have arisen, most of the same staff that began the assignment in 2016 are still working at CNWS.

12. Provide a list of available vehicles for use on this project.* Guardian Security Agency has always assigned a properly registered and insured, legally marked patrol vehicle for the site. There has been a vehicle at the site for the 10 years we have provided service there. The vehicle is kept on site except for when it is taken for maintenance or for fuel. When it is in for maintenance, a replacement vehicle is provided. Since the site is only a few miles down the
