CONSULTANT represents and warrants to CITY that CONSULTANT shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, and approvals which are legally required for CONSULTANT to practice his profession. 3) TIME. CONSULTANT shall devote such services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for satisfactory performance of CONSULTANT's obligations pursuant to this Agreement. CONSULTANT shall adhere to the Schedule of Activities as described in their Executive Summary. 4) CONSULTANT NOT AN AGENT. Except as CITY may specify in writing, CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of CITY in any capacity whatsoever as an agent. CONSULTANT shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement, to bind CITY to any obligation whatsoever. 5) ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED. No party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. 6) PERSONNEL. CONSULTANT shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that CITY, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal of any person or persons assigned by CONSULTANT to perform services pursuant to this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall remove any such person immediately upon receiving notice from CITY of the desire of CITY for the removal of such person or persons. 7) STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. CONSULTANT shall perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement. Services shall be performed in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of the profession in which CONSULTANT is engaged in the geographical area in which CONSULTANT practices his profession. All products which CONSULTANT delivers to CITY pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in a workmanlike manner, and conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in CONSULTANT's profession. CITY shall be the sole judge as to whether the product of the CONSULTANT is satisfactory. 8) CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be canceled at any time by the CITY at its discretion upon written notification to CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT is entitled to receive full payment for all services performed and all costs incurred up to and including the date of receipt of written notice Packet Page 160 of 423Attachment 14 Page 7 of 11

CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY. b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees. It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages. CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated.

5) ASSIGNM ENT PROHIBITED . No party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.
6) PER SONNEL. CONSULTANT shall assign only co mpetent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that CITY, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal of any person or persons assigned by CONSULTANT to perform services pursuant to this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall remove any such person immediately upon receiving notice from CITY of the desire of CITY for the removal of such person or persons. 7) STANDARD OF PERFO RMANCE. CONSULTANT shall perform all services required pursuant to this Agreement. Services shall be performed in the manner and according to the standards observed by a co mpetent practitioner of the profession in which CONSULTANT is engaged in the geographical area in which CONSULTANT practices his profession. All products which CONSULTANT delivers to CITY pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in a workmanlike manner, and conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in CONSULTANT's profession. CITY shall be the sole judge as to whether the product of the CONSUL TANT is satisfactory. 8) CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT.

All products of the CONSULTANT provided under this Agreement shall be the property of the CITY.
10) INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS.
a) If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively "CITY lndemnitees") from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney's fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT's duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT's percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT's percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSUL TANT's proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.

It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT'S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated. 6 Revised 11/15/2023

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:February 20, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 202434 of the City Council of The City of Fairfield Approving a Funding Agreement Between the City of Fairfield and Solano Transportation Authority (STA) for the East Tabor/Tolenas Safe Routes to School Gap Closure Project RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed resolution authorizes the city manager to enter into a funding agreement in the amount of $100,000 between the City of Fairfield and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) to reimburse the City for costs related to the East Tabor/Tolenas Safe Routes to School Gap Closure Project (Project).
The use of $100,000 in grant funds will offset the City’s local contribution for the Project.
DISCUSSION
In early 2023, the STA Board issued a Call for Projects that would fund projects with Transportation Funds for Clean Air (TFCA) Program Manager Funds. The deadline to submit projects to the STA Board was July 17, 2023. As no projects were submitted to the STA Board, there remains a total fund balance of $140,000 available for programming.
The Project was identified by STA staff as eligible to receive $100,000 in TCFA funds for construction.
The Project improves the safety of students traveling to school by installing sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and an atgrade pedestrian crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad crossing at East Tabor Avenue. The Project improvements also include the widening of the existing sidewalk on Tolenas Avenue.
City staff submitted the completed plans to Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) for review and approval of the atgrade pedestrian crossing. Staff will draft an easement and Construction & Maintenance agreement with UPRR pending UPRR approval of the design, anticipated in early 2024. Staff anticipates executing the agreement in late 2024 so that construction can begin in summer 2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City would receive TFCA Funds from STA in the amount of $100,000 to reimburse the Streets Capital Fund for costs incurred for the Project in fiscal year (FY) 20232024 and FY 20242025. There would be no impact on the General Fund. There is no local match for the TFCA funds. TFCA Funds will be deposited into the Project Number CPW070008.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
On August 31, 2023, STA staff recommended to the STA Board that the Project receive TFCA funding in the amount of $100,000. The STA Board approved this request on September 13, 2023.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
City Council may choose not to execute the funding agreement, but this is not recommended as this would mean the City would not receive agreed upon expense reimbursement coordinated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

This Agreement includes Attachment A, which specifies the funding allocated under this Agreement, and Attachment B, which pertains to insurance requirements.
SECTION I
RECITALS:
1) The Air District is authorized under California Health and Safety (Health & Safety) Code Sections 44223 and 44225 to levy a fee on motor vehicles registered within its jurisdiction (Motor Vehicle Fees), a portion of which the Air District receives and dedicates to its Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) program.
2) TFCA program monies may be allocated for projects to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles and to implement transportation control measures included in the plan adopted pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 40233, 40717, and 40919. 3) In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 44241(d), the Air District allocates not less than forty (40) percent of the TFCA monies received to implement the TFCA County Program Manager program (Program).
4) The Air District has been notified, in a communication dated August 17, 1992, that the County Program Manager is the duly authorized recipient of the proportionate share of Program monies for Solano County, and has been so designated by resolution(s) adopted by the Solano County Board of Supervisors and by the city councils of a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population in the incorporated area of the county. The terms and conditions for the expenditure of the County’s Program monies by the County Program Manager are set forth in the resolution(s).
5) On December 7, 2022, the Air District’s Board of Directors (Board of Directors) approved the TFCA County Program Manager Fund Policies for Fiscal Year Ending 2024 (Policies).

On this same date, the Board of Directors approved an estimated total funding level for FYE 2024 of $358,331 for Solano County (TFCA Funds), which is to be administered by the County Program Manager and will be covered by this Agreement. The TFCA Funds include: the New FYE 2024 TFCA Allocation, any reprogramming of TFCA monies remaining from projects from prior fiscal years, and any interest earned in the prior year.
8) The Air District and the County Program Manager, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 44241, hereby enter into this Agreement to: (a) implement the Program within Solano County; (b) select and fund projects that improve air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin and comply with the Policies; and (c) oversee such funded projects to assure that they meet, and are implemented in accordance with, the Policies and the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement covers the funding allocation set forth in Paragraph 7 above.

The County Program Manager will designate the Program Projects as FYE 2024 Program Projects for administrative purposes. 3) Except in the case where the County Program Manager is the Sub-awardee, the County Program Manager must enter into a binding agreement with each Sub-awardee that sets forth the maximum amount of TFCA Funds awarded for each Program Project, and requires each Sub-awardee to comply with both the terms of this Agreement and the Policies and to implement the Program Projects as approved by the County Program Manager. The County Program Manager must maintain copies of the County Program Manager’s written agreements with Sub-awardees, including any amendments to carry out the Program Projects. 4) To encumber and expend all TFCA Funds within two (2) years of receipt of the first payment of the TFCA funds (Expenditure Deadline) unless one of the following applies:

6) To maintain, at all times during the term of this Agreement, a separate account or sub-ledger for all TFCA Funds and to withdraw funds from this separate account only for the reimbursement of costs to implement Program Projects.

FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 202435 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to Mountain Cascade Inc., for the Cadenasso Drive Pavement Reconstruction Project, Federal Aid Project No. STPL 5132055 RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield secured a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) grant to perform pavement maintenance on Cadenasso Drive and a portion of Auto Mall Parkway. This resolution approves the plans and specifications for the Cadenasso Drive Pavement Reconstruction Project – Federal Aid No.
STPL 5132055 (Project) and awards a contract to Mountain Cascade Inc. (Mountain Cascade), of Livermore, California in the amount of $1,932,722.
DISCUSSION
Cadenasso Drive is a major collector that provides access to the Fairfield Transportation Center (FTC), retail shopping centers, and several auto dealerships. The pavement along Cadenasso Drive is in poor condition due to the heavy bus traffic, resulting in a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score of 25/100 on Cadenasso Drive and 49/100 on Auto Mall Parkway. In 2021, the City received an FHWA grant in the amount of $1,394,000 from the Surface Transportation Program (STPL) to construct the Project. The Project improvements include, but are not limited to the following:
Base Bid Improvements
Removal and replacement of 1.7 feet of pavement section on Cadenasso Drive ADA curb ramps and truncated domes
Signal and communications interconnection conduit
Striping/pavement markings
Bid Additive Improvements
2.5inch mill and overlay on Auto Mall Parkway from the Home Depot driveway entrance to Cadenasso Drive

Staff initially advertised the Project from June 16, 2023, to July 18, 2023. On the day of bid opening, one bid was received in the amount of $3,299,430.70. On September 5, 2023, staff recommended that City Council reject the bid for the following reasons:
The bid amount of $3,299,430.70 was significantly higher than the Project budget. The engineer’s estimate at the time was $2,630,000.
Staff could not determine if the bid was a fair price because only one bid was submitted.
After contacting multiple contractors, staff believed that readvertising the Project with a bid opening in the beginning of 2024 would lead to multiple contractors submitting a bid.
After examining the sole bid closely, staff also determined that the cost of removing and replacing the pavement section was a factor that led to the sole bid being significantly higher than the Project budget.
The previous design included the replacement of 2.8 feet of pavement section (0.7 feet of asphalt concrete over 2.1 feet aggregate base).
To reduce the cost without decreasing the structural integrity of the pavement, geogrid material was introduced to the design. Geogrids are geosynthetic materials that are used to provide soil reinforcement. Geogrids have been successfully installed throughout California with a proven track record of providing reinforcement. With the addition of the geogrid, staff was able to reduce the replacement of the pavement section from 2.8 feet to 1.7 feet (0.6 feet over 1.1 feet of asphalt over geogrid).
After the Project was redesigned, staff advertised the Project from December 8, 2023, to January 16, 2024. Four bids were received, ranging from $1,932,722 to $2,606,240. The engineer’s estimate for the Project is $2,650,000. The basis for the award is determined by the base bid amount. The apparent low base bid was submitted by Mountain Cascade. Staff reviewed Mountain Cascade’s bid and determined that the bid was responsible and responsive. Mountain Cascade’s bid schedule is broken down in the table below.
Description Mountain Cascade
Inc.
Base Bid $1,655,002
Bid Additive $277,720
Total (Base Bid + Bid Additive)$1,932,722
The revised design with the geogrid saved roughly $1,300,000 in cost compared to the initial bid opening on July 18, 2023. There is sufficient budget, and staff recommends awarding both the base bid and the bid additive. Awarding the bid additive will increase the service life of the pavement on Auto Mall Parkway along with Cadenasso Drive.
After the Project is awarded, staff will work closely with the Marketing and Outreach Division (MOD) team to inform the public of the Project and the potential impacts residents and business owners may experience from construction activities. Once a construction schedule has been solidified, staff will re engage the public and businesses in the surrounding area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The construction authorization for this Project will be $2,222,631, which is the total bid amount plus a 15% contingency ($1,932,722 total bid + $289,909 contingency), due to the potential underground utility conflicts with a deep pavement reconstruction. Funding for this Project is captured in Project No.
CPW070030. Project funds include $1,394,000 in STPL federal grant funds and the remaining amount of $828,631 is covered through local funding utilizing General Fund (Fund 101) and SB1 Fund.

N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose to reject all bids, but this is not recommended because this may result in losing the grant funds needed to complete the Project. Because the Project is also weather dependent, staff does not recommend delaying the award of the Project. Delaying the award would have determinantal impacts to the construction schedule and potentially increase the severity of the traffic congestion in and around the Project area.

TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 202436 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Suspending Competitive Bidding and Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Two Portable Bus Scaffolding Systems for FAST Battery Electric Buses
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Fairfield’s transit system, FAST, has ordered its first three battery electric buses which were delivered in January 2024, to replace three 21yearold buses. FAST and the Public Works Department’s Fleet Division have been researching a solution that would allow Fleet staff to safely work on top of these new buses. The cost of two new portable bus scaffolding system solutions is included in the fiscal year (FY) 20232024 budget. Adopting this resolution would suspend competitive bidding and authorize the city manager to purchase two portable bus scaffolding systems from General Steel Products, Co., Inc. (General Steel Products).
DISCUSSION
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has adopted an Innovative Clean Transit, Advanced Clean Fleet, Advanced Clean Cars II, and InUse OffRoad updated regulations. These regulations are meant to speed up the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption in California, with required purchases starting for government agencies in the 2024 calendar year. The CARB definition of electrification is for agencies to either use battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell technology to meet ZEV regulations. The City plans to utilize battery electric technology.
The design of a Battery Electric Bus (BEB) requires the batteries and HVAC system to be on the roof of the bus. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a fall protection system for employees to perform rooftop inspections or repairs to these systems. This can be accomplished by either using a harness system that is attached to the roof of the maintenance facility while the bus is inside or by using a wraparound bus scaffolding system. The City’s current maintenance facility does not meet OSHA requirements to perform high voltage related maintenance inside. The most effective option at this time is to perform that work outside of the maintenance facility using a bus scaffolding Packet Page 209 of 423

The City’s current maintenance facility does not meet OSHA requirements to perform high voltage related maintenance inside. The most effective option at this time is to perform that work outside of the maintenance facility using a bus scaffolding system to keep employees safe. While not an ideal situation when there is inclement weather, staff will work with this temporary condition until the maintenance facility can be modified to work on BEBs inside.
Staff have researched the technical requirements and availability of bus scaffolding systems and found them to be very complicated with limited availability. General Steel Products is the main supplier of these systems to transit agencies in the U.S. Their systems are made in the U.S. and meet Buy America requirements.
Staff recommends the adoption of the attached resolution to suspend competitive bidding and authorize the purchase of two portable bus scaffolding systems from General Steel Products for the amount of $192,200 plus taxes. Since the City has experienced supply chain issues over the past year, causing rising prices and delays in the procurement of specialty products such as specialty shop equipment, staff recommends a 10% price contingency of $19,220 for a total nottoexceed authorization of $211,420 plus taxes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the two portable bus scaffolding system is nottoexceed $211,420 plus taxes and a 10% contingency ($192,200 base cost + $19,220 contingency). This purchase is budgeted in the FY 20232024 Public Works Transit fund (Fund 451, Responsibility Code 60599) using Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funds. There is no impact on the General Fund.

SUBJECT:Resolution 202437 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving a Grant Agreement between the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and the City of Fairfield to Receive Carl Moyer Grant Funds for the Municipal Fleet Electrification Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed resolution would authorize the city manager to execute a grant agreement totaling $330,000 between the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and the City of Fairfield to fund infrastructure and equipment for the electrification of the municipal fleet at the City’s Corporation Yard.
DISCUSSION
Since 1998, the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) has costeffectively reduced smogforming and toxic emissions. Most recently, Senate Bill (SB) 513 (Beall, 2015) has provided new opportunities for the Carl Moyer Program to contribute significant emission reductions alongside implemented regulations, advance zero and nearzero technologies, as well as combine program funds with those of other incentive programs.
The City is in the process of transitioning its transit and municipal fleet at the Corporation Yard to zero emission batteryelectric vehicles (ZEVs). The City has completed planning work, secured additional power from Pacific Gas & Electric, and is in the environmental review and preliminary design stage for the first phase (Phase 1A) of this project.
Entering into a grant agreement with BAAQMD will provide much needed financial assistance to the municipal fleet and showcase the City's commitment to environmental sustainability and cleaner air. The grant funds will be utilized for the installation of eight DC Fast Chargers, four CP6000 Chargers, and four ABB Terra 1844 Chargers with associated electrical conduit and infrastructure to support medium and heavyduty vehicles at the Corporation Yard.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City anticipates receiving up to $330,000 from the BAAQMD’s Carl Moyer Program for electrification. The program requires no local match but will be leveraging existing Pacific Gas and Electric Company Electric Vehicle Fleet Program incentives and Federal Transit Administration funding for the project. There is no impact on the general fund.

N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The City Council may choose not to enter into a grant agreement with BAAQMD to accept $330,000 in Carl Moyer Program funds. However, this option would relinquish the $330,000 award and result in the City needing to obtain funds to cover the municipal fleets electrification project costs.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:February 20, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 202438 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement Between the City of Fairfield and Willdan Energy Solutions for Project Management and Owner's Representative Services for the Transit and Municipal Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In Spring 2023, Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan) completed a comprehensive plan for transitioning the transit and municipal fleet at the City of Fairfield’s Corporation Yard to batteryelectric zeroemission vehicles (ZEVs). The project is currently in the environmental review and preliminary design phase.
Given the technically complex and challenging scope of this project due to space constraints, City staff is seeking support for project management, vehicle maintenance facility planning, community outreach, and grant assistance from Willdan.
DISCUSSION
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has mandated that all offroad, light, medium, and heavy duty vehicles transition to zeroemission by 2040. The City explored its options and has chosen to electrify its fleet to meet this mandate. For the City to transition to an allelectric fleet, major electrical infrastructure upgrades and operational changes need to occur at the Corporation Yard. In 2020, the City hired Willdan to develop a longterm comprehensive transition plan for the transit, light, medium, and heavyduty municipal fleets.
In April 2023, Willdan and City staff finalized the Corporation Yard Electrification Buildout Plan (Buildout Plan). The Buildout Plan outlines a comprehensive road map for the Corporation Yard to fully support ZEVs, including available technology of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), infrastructure upgrades, maintenance facility expansion, and funding needs. The preliminary estimate for the Buildout Plan is $89.4 million.

The preliminary estimate for the Buildout Plan is $89.4 million.
Once the Buildout Plan was finalized, City staff reengaged Bennett Engineering to design and prepare plans, specifications, and cost estimates for the first phase of upgraded electrical and charging infrastructure needed at the Corporation Yard. Given the complexity of the project, which includes the demolition and construction of portions of the Corporation Yard while it continues daytoday operations, City staff is proposing to enter a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan to serve as a project manager and provide support for design and engineering, temporary and upgraded maintenance facilities, community outreach, and funding assistance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Professional Services Agreement with Willdan for project management and owner's representative services for the transit and municipal fleet electrification Corporation Yard improvements will authorize a nottoexceed amount of $452,100 plus 10% contingency ($411,000 + $41,100 contingency).
Funding for this work has not been budgeted and will come from the following sources:
Transportation Development Act Local Transportation Funds (LTF): $251,672 Construction Permit Tax: $200,428
No monies from the General Fund will be used for this Professional Services Agreement. Willdan’s scope of work includes a funding strategy and a cost share analysis to implement the Buildout Plan at the Corporation Yard. Preliminary analysis indicates that a majority of the infrastructure costs will be funded with state and federal grants, which are competitive. The contribution of $200,428 in construction permit tax can contribute to the City’s local match requirement, making the project more attractive to funding agencies. Staff will return to City Council at a future date once the phasing plan and funding sources for construction are identified.

Re: Project Management and Owners Representative Services Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard Improvements
Dear Mr. Layoso,
Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan) is pleased to submit the following scope of work to the City of Fairfield (City, Client) to provide additional Project Management and Owner’s Representative Service to our existing Transit Electrification Transition Modeling, including Feasibility Analysis, Corporation Yard Improvements Needs Assessment and Project Management Services scope.
Also enclosed is a proposed budget and to perform the proposed additional scope of work.
Willdan proposes the following tasks and associated deliverables for this scope of work:
Task 1: Corporation Yard Electrical Infrastructure Design Review and Support
Description: Willdan has supported Fairfield in determining the required long term EVCS and electrical infrastructure requirements. Fairfield has decided to pursue a design-bid-build approach for Phase 1a and has retained Bennet to complete the electrical and civil design.
Willdan will act as the owner’s rep and third-party reviewer to Bennet’s design to ensure that the final design meets the original intent and long-term needs. This task will include the following elements based on Bennett’s scope with Fairfield.
Project Management Support and Design Reviews
Willdan will participate in Bennet’s project management and design review meetings as they complete the design for the first phase of infrastructure and chargers. Bennet is planning for 10 project management meetings. During the meetings, Willdan will provide high level guidance to Benet to ensure that their design meets Fairfield’s long term fleet electrification needs. It is assumed that a final decision is made on the Phase 1a EV charger make and model before the 30% set is complete and will not be changed moving forward from there. As Bennet issues design deliverables to Fairfield, Willdan will complete design reviews, including redlining design sheets and providing comments and edits to final specification. Willdan will also provide additional meetings as necessary to clarify comments.

Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
2 PG&E EV Fleet Program Support
Fairfield has signed contracts with PG&E for two separate EV Fleet applications to cover the cost of utility side upgrades and subsidize behind the meter improvements to support fleet electrification. Ongoing coordination between Bennet’s design team and PG&E’s design requirements will be needed. Willdan will help schedule meetings, if needed, and support Bennet during these design meetings to ensure that PG&E’s design is in line with Bennet’s design and supports Fairfield’s long term fleet needs.
Bidding Support
Bennet is already scoped to lead the bidding support including responding to contractor’s questions. Willdan will provide support to Bennet and review Bennett’s responses and support drafting responses if needed.
Council Approval Support
After a contractor has been selected, the Fairfield’s City Council will need to approve the final contract. Willdan will support the Fairfield team in preparing presentations to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to facilitate approving the final contractor. As part of the presentations Willdan can illustrate how this first
Deliverables for this task:
Written comments and redlines to Bennet’s design issued at 30%, 70%, 95%, and final plans, specs, and estimates (PS&E).
Written comment and redlines to PG&E’s design, if applicable. Drafted responses to bidders questions on final PS&E. Presentations for up to two (2) meetings with City Council and/or the Planning Commission
Task 2: Vehicle Maintenance Facility Modernization and Expansion and Other Building Replacements Design and Construction Procurement Support.
Description: Fairfield will need to retrofit and expand its maintenance facility to support its long-term EV fleet needs, including relocating its bus wash and adding four maintenance bays to the South of the existing facility. While Anser completed a preliminary assessment, full design and construction is the next required step. Several other buildings may need to be demoed and rebuilt in the corporation yard as part of the first phase of improvements. Given Anser’s familiarity with the maintenance assessment, Willdan has partnered with them to prepare a Request for Proposal/Qualifications (to be determined at the start of the task) to hire a firm(s) to complete the design and construction of the maintenance facility improvements.
The following scope assumes a progressive design-build procurement for the maintenance facility retrofit and is generally recommended given the complexity and project risk. If, at the Packet Page 245 of 423Attachment 2 Page 6 of 29
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
3 start of the task, Fairfield has decided to pursue a traditional design-build or design-bid-build procurement, this scope can be adapted to support alternative procurement deliveries. A more detailed description of how a progressive design-bid versus traditional design-build procurement would proceed, including approximate timeline for key milestones, is attached to this scope of work.
Project Management
To ensure a smooth project, the Willdan Team will host project management check-in meetings with the City and project stakeholders to review progress, collect feedback on intermediate deliverables, and maintain overall project due diligence. At the start of the task, the Team will implement and manage a project team site for file sharing, data management, and document control. Project management will include overall Quality Control / Quality Assurance of products and deliverables (presentations, reports, documents, request for information, industry sounding day (if needed) communications and logistics, etc.)
Temporary Maintenance Plan
Fairfield is expecting delivery of its first three (3) Gillig BEBs towards the end of 2023 or early 2024. Maintenance Facility Improvements will not be completed before these vehicles arrive and will be put into revenue service. Willdan and Anser will prepare a transition plan for Fairfield for the safe maintenance of these buses while the main O&M facility is being designed and renovated.
For this task the team will meet with stakeholders (Bus OEMs, Fairfield staff, etc.) to identify the maintenance needs of the new buses, what services can be performed in the existing maintenance facility and what services may need a dedicated temporary facility with appropriate safety precautions. With the gaps now identified, the team can then determine what equipment or temporary facilities and solutions can help fill the gaps in service. From there, we will create a project schedule by estimating the duration of each activity. The team will leverage much of the original work done by the Anser team and elaborate further after obtaining updated needs from the stakeholder group and conducting research into recent case studies. From there, the team will then determine a phasing plan, in conjunction with Fairfield staff, to bridge the gap between when buses are delivered and when a new, renovated O&M facility is constructed and ready to service the BEBs. We will then determine an estimated project cost and risk management plan to aid Fairfield in deciding the optimal course of action.
Progressive Design-Build Procurement and On-Going Support (Recommended Approach)
Assess Existing Conditions (~1 month)
The Willdan Team will identify technical studies Fairfield has completed to date, and what is most relevant for the RFQ/P as needed, including but not limited to: master planning documents, existing conditions reports, market analysis, geotechnical and subsurface investigations, environmental site assessments, and traffic impact study. The Team will obtain existing utility maps for project site(s) along with any necessary financials/legal covenants or Packet Page 246 of 423Attachment 2 Page 7 of 29
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
4 restrictions. To the extent that technical studies above are available the Team will identify potentially required "enabling works” or site preparation Fairfield is willing and able to do.
Throughout the project we will obtain approval and buy-in from project stakeholders.
Draft RFP/Q (~2-3 months)
In close coordination with Fairfield, the Team will craft a complete and concise RFP/Q for Fairfield to hire a progressive design-build firm to complete the design and construction of the maintenance facility retrofits. It is assumed that a template or past example will be available for the facility improvements. Risks and constraints associated with the project will be reflected in the RFP/Q. The Team will draft a project narrative for the anticipated scope of work, budget and all pertinent information required for proposers.
The Team will create an RFP/Q cost estimate form (if pricing will be asked of responders) to ensure cost metrics are evaluated evenly. The Team will work alongside Fairfield to define the evaluation criteria and proposed scoring matrix to be included in the RFP/Q. Separately, an evaluation manual for objective evaluation and scoring of the RFP will be created and provided to Fairfield. Fairfield will be trained on how to use the scoring evaluation.
As the final project scope is determined the Team will put together a revised estimated project timeline and budget. It will also contain a project specifications sheet for prospective vendors, terms and conditions (which will be reviewed by Fairfield’s legal/financial divisions). The RFP/Q will conform to Fairfield’s formatting guidelines and requirements.
The final RFQ/P will be reviewed and refined with Fairfield’s executive leadership and pertinent stakeholder feedback. The Team will help advertise the final RFP/Q to potential bidders.
Managing the RFQ/P process and Bidding Support (~1 month) After the RFP/Q is issued, the Team will coordinate and assist, as needed, a pre-submittal call, and/or collaborative dialog meetings with prospective vendors. The Team will review alternative technical concepts provided by vendors (if applicable), draft responses to vendor questions, and issue any necessary addendum / updates to any pertinent documents.
After bids have been received, the Team will support Fairfield in completing a technical review and scoring proposed submittals. The Team will host an evaluation and scoring review meeting with Fairfield to review the proposals and recommend a short list for Fairfield to interview. The Team will create a document repository with all comments, questions, and information regarding the selection of the vendor(s).
Ongoing Support (5-7 months)
After a progressive design-build firm is selected, the Willdan team will provide ongoing owner’s rep support to Fairfield while the design-build firm completes their design and prepares their guaranteed maximum price (GMP). Throughout the design, the Willdan team will work with the Design Builder to address RFI questions, validate assumptions based on the preliminary design and work with Fairfield to validate indicative phased pricing (i.e. 30, 70, 90 % design documents Packet Page 247 of 423Attachment 2 Page 8 of 29
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
5 that may be issued). If needed, the Willdan Team can implement and manage a Project Team Site for file sharing, data management, and document control. The Willdan Team will provide QA/QC of design-build firm’s deliverables (presentations, reports, documents, request for information, industry sounding day communications and logistics, etc.). When the design-build firm issues its final contract and GMP, the Willdan team will validate final GMP pricing and review contract terms. Willdan will provide stakeholder and Community Management as needed throughout the design-build process. (Administration, Community Development, Finance, HR, IT, and Public Works). This scope ends when a construction contract is issued with the selected design-build firm.
Deliverables for this task:
Copies of meeting agendas and meeting minutes
Temporary Maintenance Plan Report
Draft and final RFP/Q and scoring matrix
Responses to vendor questions
Evaluation of submitted proposals
Review and comments to Design-Build firm deliverables (design drawings, presentations, etc.)
Vetted final GMP and construction contract with selected design-build firm Task 3: Community Outreach
Description: As Fairfield beings to operate electric vehicles and start construction at the corporation yard Fairfield has indicated it wants to proactively engage the community on key element as it relates to using the new technology and upcoming construction that may impact neighboring residential areas. Willdan will leverage AIM Consulting’s (AIM) experience and knowledge of the City to lead the Community Outreach task. AIM will provide strategic advice and counsel, review project materials and information, coordinate with the City of Fairfield and the project team, and monitor team communications throughout the outreach and engagement.
Community Awareness and Education Program
Controversy often occurs about a project because stakeholders and community members have not received enough information about why a city is undertaking a project, what the project consists of, the project goals, and community benefits. When we share comprehensive information about the benefits of EV project it creates greater buy in from the community. At the beginning of the project, AIM will develop and implement a community awareness and education program to create a shared understanding of the project rollout, the project elements, and the community benefits.
The community awareness program will leverage the City’s existing communication links, community-based organizations and local media to help explain why the City is undergoing fleet electrification and how they can learn more. AIM’s communication professionals will create communication materials such as fact sheets, informational brochures, FAQs and digital infographics series, and social media programs that can be published on the City’s social media Packet Page 248 of 423Attachment 2 Page 9 of 29
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
6 channels, can be easily shared on other community-based organizations’ social media platforms, to highlight educational elements about the batter sourcing and potential construction impacts.
Communication Collateral and Project Website Content
AIM will develop outreach materials to inform the community about the City of Fairfield Fleet Electrification. These materials can include lawn signs, project flyers, informational brochures, fact sheets, and FAQs. A template for each collateral item will be developed consistently that is easily updated and sent or distributed through electronic means. AIM will distribute these materials via the website and email updates to the database as necessary.
AIM will develop updated content for the project webpage, to be hosted on the City website.
Webpage content will include educational information about both battery sourcing and construction concerns. Website visitors will be able to access project information such as fact sheets, FAQs, and a schedule. Visitors will also be able to provide their contact information to receive electronic project updates.
Social Media Plan
AIM will work with the City to create a social media campaign on existing social media channels (City Twitter and Facebook pages). Social media will be utilized to communicate educational information to stakeholders about the proposed plans and schedule, and AIM will partner with key stakeholders to send information through social media channels. A social media plan will be put in place for each task.
Direct Mail Piece (1)
AIM will prepare and mail project information flyers to properties and tenants in the vicinity of the project to update the constituents of the upcoming construction. The mailer will include but is not limited to the project description, website, the anticipated date for rollout, and educational materials. AIM will mail the postcard to residences and property owners in the vicinity identified by the City.
Pop-up Workshops (2)
Pop-up workshops can provide an opportunity to advertise the project by going into the community and playing into one of their events. Each pop-up workshop will take place at a community destination, local event, or high pedestrian key shopping center. The pop-ups will include displays and input boards illustrating educational information about the campaign.
AIM will facilitate, plan, provide all supplies, and coordinate all logistics for three sets of two pop-up workshops. AIM will develop engagement activities, board displays, interactive community engagement activities, informational fact sheets and brochures, and comment cards.
At the conclusion of the pop-up workshops, AIM will develop a comprehensive summary that will include all input obtained and photography; these summaries will be posted to the project webpage.

Task 4: Grant Assistance
Description: The Willdan team has supported Fairfield apply for multiple grants to date.
Fairfield will need ongoing grant support and assistance to continue applying for grants, rebates, incentives, and other funding opportunities.
As Needed Grant Assistance
When a grant opportunity is identified, Willdan and Fairfield will mutually agree on the level of effort needed from each party. Willdan can support in a variety of ways such as writing portions of grant applications, supporting filling out rebate or incentive forms, and/or preparing supporting calculations and cost estimates. This scope includes on-going support that may be needed once a grant is submitted, including responding to RFIs from grant administrators.
While specific grants and funding opportunities have not been identified yet, Willdan anticipates supporting Fairfield on a variety of funding applications that may include, but not limited to the following:
FTA Grants such as Low-No and Bus & Bus Facilities
RAISE. One RAISE grant is accounted for in this scope. CEC grants. The CEC is currently developing a grant program for municipal fleet electrification, which Fairfield may be eligible to apply for. Carl Moyer vehicle and infrastructure grants. Additional grant requests may be available each calendar year.
ENERGIIZE
TIRCP
New funding opportunities may become available in the future as the federal and state governments allocate new money towards vehicle electrification.
As different funding options require different levels of effort, the budget for the proposed task is meant to act as a starting point to provide continued grant support on an as-needed basis. For the purposes of this scope, Willdan will assume approximately $12,000 of effort per anticipated grant application, planned for up to 13 different non-RAISE grant or funding opportunities.
Certain grants and funding opportunities may require less effort, and some may require more.
As part of this task, Willdan has budgeted for 1 RAISE grant, which may require $45-$50K to help prepare given the level of detail required. This brings the total number of grants/funding opportunities under this scope to 14.

MAINTENANCE FACILTY PROCURMENET
OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
Our understanding of the objective:
•Fairfield will need to retrofit and expand its maintenance facility to support its long-term EV fleet needs, including relocating the existing bus wash and adding four maintenance bays to the south of the existing facility, to help to meet the 2040 goal of a fully zero emissions fleet.
•While a preliminary assessment was completed, full design and construction must be completed. Several other buildings may need to be demoed and rebuilt in the corporation yard as part of the early site upgrades. •Fairfield is currently exploring a Design Bid Build (DBB), a Progressive Design Build (PDB) or a Design Build (DB) to accomplish this work. This presentation outlines the requirements for a PDB and DB.
•In order to prepare Fairfield for delivery of three (3) Gillig BEBs towards the end of 2023 or early 2024, the subsequent materials provide an outlined plan on assisting Fairfield with creating a transition plan for the safe maintenance of these buses while the main O&M facility, with the ultimate goal of securing a design builder to create a permanent solution.

Executive Summary
Progressive Design Build Design Build
•DB is recommended when the
Owner has a firm understanding
of project parameters,
requirements and objectives and
values design competition and
innovation.
•PDB is recommended when the
project Owner has less certainty
around the program and project
definition, and values
collaboration with the PDB firm
to identify the project’s needs.
Packet Page 255 of 423Attachment 2 Page 16 of 29
PDB Process
Advantages:
•Design input: PDB offers better opportunities for best-value design decisions early in the process, as the efforts are collaborative. Slightly heightened design risk to the owner, however, allows for more owner input through a collaborative design process. •Cost transparency: PDB provides an “open-book” accounting system, allowing the team to evaluate how choices will affect the budget and schedule, i.e., value engineering can begin before design is finalized and GMP reached.
•Collaboration: PDB encourages collaboration between the owner and the design-build team, which can lead to better program and design development. •Schedule acceleration: Design finalization and construction are able to be had in parallel, leading to a compressed schedule when compared to DBB Drawbacks:
•Increased owner engagement: Owner is expected to be more present and collaborative in the design process •Reduced deliverables: The PDB RFP phase entails significantly reduced deliverable and design expectations and does not include an indicative or final GMP. Costs can be considered, but only in the context of PDB fee %.
•Reduced innovation and competitive tension: As there are fewer deliverables in the PDB procurement, there will be lower competitive tension in terms of cost, solutions and overarching innovation.
Step 1 Strategic Program
Definition
• The Owner establishes the
project vision, goals
objectives and identifies any
known potential challenges
(temporary O&M phasing,
schedule, funding, permitting,
etc.)
Step 2 Draft and Issue
Request for Qualifications
(RFQ)
•Professional, financial and
experiential requirements for
Proposers and the general
project parameters are
articulated in an RFQ.
Step 3 Proposal Submission
and Evaluation
•Once received, the Owner
evaluates proposals on the
basis of qualifications, project
approach, team member,
references and DB’s Fees
Step 4 Contract Award
•The selected PDB enters an
Initial Design Contract
contract(s) with the Owner,
which initiates a collaborative
design process. Once the
entire team is on board, plans
are finalized based on the
owner’s budget limitations,
vision, and goals.
Step 5 Design and GMP
•Owner work’s collaboratively
with the PDB team to arrive at
a design that establishes the
project requirements in terms
of facility size and
performance, criteria, finish
requirements, quality
standards, applicable codes,
regulatory standards,
population/capacities,
equipment requirements, etc.
This allows the PDB to arrive
at a GMP
Step 6 Contract Amendment
•The selected PDB executes
the final contract(s) with the
Owner, which incorporates
the collaborative design at the
negotiated GMP.
•*IMPORTANT* If a GMP is
not agreed upon, Owner has
the right to exit the contract
and take the initial design to
another bidder.
Step
7 Documents/Construction -
•Upon completion of the
design documents for all
elements (or for specific
phases) of the project,
construction commences. The
contract may provide for fast-
track methods, allowing
construction to proceed after
logical phases of design and
permitting are completed, but
prior to completion of the
entire body of construction
documents.

PDB is a delivery method that allows for collaborative development of project criteria that is a qualifications-based procurement process versus one based primarily on cost. In a PDB project, the owner issues a Request for Qualifications, and selects the design-build contractor based on the contractor’s qualifications and past performance. The design-build contractor and owner then collaborate to develop the project’s design and budget. OPTIONAL Engineering Service Agreement to get the preffered vendor to 100% DD and negotiate GMP, if negotiations fail, owner has right to go to second highest vendor. This collaboration allows the owner to have greater control and involvement throughout development of the design and budget. As far as budget is concerned, unlike in a DB project, the final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is typically not reached until the design is nearing completion. Rather, as the design progresses, the design-build contractor provides preliminary GMP at various milestones throughout the project until the final GMP is established Management and coordination of Project Due Diligence, Project Meetings, Stakeholder Engagement, Visioning Sessions with Executive Leadership.

Step 1 Strategic Facility
Planning
•The Owner analyzes its
current and future facility
requirements to determine
the appropriate facility
development plan for the
planned use.
Step 2 Program Definition
• The Owner establishes the
project requirements in
terms of facility size and
performance, criteria, finish
requirements, quality
standards, applicable codes,
regulatory standards,
population/capacities,
equipment requirements,
etc.
•*IMPORTANT* Anser would
recommend sourcing an
Architect and or Engineer to
help establish these
requirements. This is not
included as part of our
proposal.
Step 3 Request for
Qualifications (RFQ)
•Professional, financial and
experiential, approach and
teaming requirements for DB
teams and the general
project parameters are
articulated in an RFQ.
•Three – Five teams
shortlisted for downstream
RFP
Step 4 Request for
Proposals (RFP)
•The Owner solicits design
and cost proposals from the
short-listed design-build
teams in a RFP. Project
design criteria, site
information, contract
requirements, selection
procedure and proposal
(submittal) requirements.
Step 5 Pre-Proposal

design and indicative GMP.
Step
8 Documents/Construction
-
•Upon completion of the
design documents for all
elements (or for specific
phases) of the project,
construction commences.
DB Process
Advantages:
•Cost certainty: DB provides an Indicative GMP prior to a selection being made and through a two step qualifications and cost-based proposal. Hence, the requirement for more upfront work on the Owner, and increased deliverables from the proposers
•Innovation: DB enhances competitive tension, and encourages innovation between competing design-build teams, which can lead to better cost efficiencies, innovation in design, program and design development. •Risk management: DB allows shift design risk fully to the DB team. •Schedule acceleration: Design finalization and construction are able to be had in parallel, leading to a compressed schedule when compared to DBB Drawbacks:
•Increased upfront owner engagement: Owner is expected to have performed more leg work prior to procurement and requires greater internal resources to clearly articulate project objectives prior to procurement.
•Design input: DB offers design inputs past the 100% Schematic Design phase; however, Owner does not provide feedback on design until GMP is selected, hence the requirement to have a firmer understanding and clearer expectations laid out in the RFQ/P.
•Design stipend: Generally, for DB contractors to provide designs and a GMP, a stipend would be recommended. •Less transparency: Owner’s are provided limited amounts of documentation during the design process, and they might not be aware of the financial cost implications of the design choices until after a selection has been made.
•Control: Lower owner control over initial design and subcontractor selection Packet Page 259 of 423Attachment 2 Page 20 of 29
1. Upfront Technical Support
•Goal: Provide technical support prior to issuance of the procurement
•Deliverable: DB team throughout initial contract and get to final contract with PDB team. 100% Schematic and
GMP
•Tasks: Support Wildan in the project definition.
•Identify technical studies Fairfield has completed to
date, and what is most relevant for the RFQ/P as
needed, including but not limited to: master planning

environmental site assessments, and traffic impact
study.
•Obtain existing utility maps for project site(s). Support Wildan in defining the program to a point where project teams are able to provide an indicative GMP.
•Stakeholder meetings to identify needs, gaps and
aspirations
•Administration, Community Development, Finance,
HR, IT, and Public Works)
•Initial meeting, meeting to confirm feedback/progress, and path forward
•Research case studies; Identify phasing options,
evaluate and recommend solutions; Develop a budget
by estimating the cost of each activity; Develop a risk management plan; Identify potential procurement
options and create and project delivery assessment.
•Result: Project specifications and a detailed plan
•Timeline: 4-6 months
•*it’s important to note we would recommend
outsourcing a design consultant to help finalize the
design layout, finishes and necessary information for a DB contractor to price.
2. Procurement
•Goal: Lead the procurement for a Design Build
Contractor
•Deliverable: A two step procurement process –
qualifications based RFQ and priced based RFP. Lead the procurement and assist.
•Tasks: Two procurements – RFQ and RFP, evaluation and
training manual for each, with the ultimate goal of a
selected DB contractor. Evaluate risks and constraints; Define the evaluation criteria; Develop a project
timeline; Define the RFQ/P format and requirements;
Develop the RFQ/P contents; Review and refine the
RFQ/P; Obtain legal and procurement approvals; Project

Re: Project Management and Owners Representative Services Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard Improvements
Dear Mr. Layoso,
Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan) is pleased to submit the following scope of work to the City of Fairfield (City, Client) to provide additional Project Management and Owner’s Representative Service to our existing Transit Electrification Transition Modeling, including Feasibility Analysis, Corporation Yard Improvements Needs Assessment and Project Management Services scope.
Also enclosed is a proposed budget and to perform the proposed additional scope of work.
Willdan proposes the following tasks and associated deliverables for this scope of work:
Task 1: Corporation Yard Electrical Infrastructure Design Review and Support
Description: Willdan has supported Fairfield in determining the required long term EVCS and electrical infrastructure requirements. Fairfield has decided to pursue a design-bid-build approach for Phase 1a and has retained Bennet to complete the electrical and civil design.
Willdan will act as the owner’s rep and third-party reviewer to Bennet’s design to ensure that the final design meets the original intent and long-term needs. This task will include the following elements based on Bennett’s scope with Fairfield.
Project Management Support and Design Reviews
Willdan will participate in Bennet’s project management and design review meetings as they complete the design for the first phase of infrastructure and chargers. Bennet is planning for 10 project management meetings. During the meetings, Willdan will provide high level guidance to Benet to ensure that their design meets Fairfield’s long term fleet electrification needs. It is assumed that a final decision is made on the Phase 1a EV charger make and model before the 30% set is complete and will not be changed moving forward from there. As Bennet issues design deliverables to Fairfield, Willdan will complete design reviews, including redlining design sheets and providing comments and edits to final specification. Willdan will also provide additional meetings as necessary to clarify comments.

Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
2 PG&E EV Fleet Program Support
Fairfield has signed contracts with PG&E for two separate EV Fleet applications to cover the cost of utility side upgrades and subsidize behind the meter improvements to support fleet electrification. Ongoing coordination between Bennet’s design team and PG&E’s design requirements will be needed. Willdan will help schedule meetings, if needed, and support Bennet during these design meetings to ensure that PG&E’s design is in line with Bennet’s design and supports Fairfield’s long term fleet needs.
Bidding Support
Bennet is already scoped to lead the bidding support including responding to contractor’s questions. Willdan will provide support to Bennet and review Bennett’s responses and support drafting responses if needed.
Council Approval Support
After a contractor has been selected, the Fairfield’s City Council will need to approve the final contract. Willdan will support the Fairfield team in preparing presentations to the Planning Commission and/or City Council to facilitate approving the final contractor. As part of the presentations Willdan can illustrate how this first
Deliverables for this task:
Written comments and redlines to Bennet’s design issued at 30%, 70%, 95%, and final plans, specs, and estimates (PS&E).
Written comment and redlines to PG&E’s design, if applicable. Drafted responses to bidders questions on final PS&E. Presentations for up to two (2) meetings with City Council and/or the Planning Commission
Task 2: Vehicle Maintenance Facility Modernization and Expansion and Other Building Replacements Design and Construction Procurement Support.
Description: Fairfield will need to retrofit and expand its maintenance facility to support its long-term EV fleet needs, including relocating its bus wash and adding four maintenance bays to the South of the existing facility. While Anser completed a preliminary assessment, full design and construction is the next required step. Several other buildings may need to be demoed and rebuilt in the corporation yard as part of the first phase of improvements. Given Anser’s familiarity with the maintenance assessment, Willdan has partnered with them to prepare a Request for Proposal/Qualifications (to be determined at the start of the task) to hire a firm(s) to complete the design and construction of the maintenance facility improvements.
The following scope assumes a progressive design-build procurement for the maintenance facility retrofit and is generally recommended given the complexity and project risk. If, at the Packet Page 270 of 423Attachment 3 Page 2 of 18
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
3 start of the task, Fairfield has decided to pursue a traditional design-build or design-bid-build procurement, this scope can be adapted to support alternative procurement deliveries. A more detailed description of how a progressive design-bid versus traditional design-build procurement would proceed, including approximate timeline for key milestones, is attached to this scope of work.
Project Management
To ensure a smooth project, the Willdan Team will host project management check-in meetings with the City and project stakeholders to review progress, collect feedback on intermediate deliverables, and maintain overall project due diligence. At the start of the task, the Team will implement and manage a project team site for file sharing, data management, and document control. Project management will include overall Quality Control / Quality Assurance of products and deliverables (presentations, reports, documents, request for information, industry sounding day (if needed) communications and logistics, etc.)
Temporary Maintenance Plan
Fairfield is expecting delivery of its first three (3) Gillig BEBs towards the end of 2023 or early 2024. Maintenance Facility Improvements will not be completed before these vehicles arrive and will be put into revenue service. Willdan and Anser will prepare a transition plan for Fairfield for the safe maintenance of these buses while the main O&M facility is being designed and renovated.
For this task the team will meet with stakeholders (Bus OEMs, Fairfield staff, etc.) to identify the maintenance needs of the new buses, what services can be performed in the existing maintenance facility and what services may need a dedicated temporary facility with appropriate safety precautions. With the gaps now identified, the team can then determine what equipment or temporary facilities and solutions can help fill the gaps in service. From there, we will create a project schedule by estimating the duration of each activity. The team will leverage much of the original work done by the Anser team and elaborate further after obtaining updated needs from the stakeholder group and conducting research into recent case studies. From there, the team will then determine a phasing plan, in conjunction with Fairfield staff, to bridge the gap between when buses are delivered and when a new, renovated O&M facility is constructed and ready to service the BEBs. We will then determine an estimated project cost and risk management plan to aid Fairfield in deciding the optimal course of action.
Progressive Design-Build Procurement and On-Going Support (Recommended Approach)
Assess Existing Conditions (~1 month)
The Willdan Team will identify technical studies Fairfield has completed to date, and what is most relevant for the RFQ/P as needed, including but not limited to: master planning documents, existing conditions reports, market analysis, geotechnical and subsurface investigations, environmental site assessments, and traffic impact study. The Team will obtain existing utility maps for project site(s) along with any necessary financials/legal covenants or Packet Page 271 of 423Attachment 3 Page 3 of 18
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
4 restrictions. To the extent that technical studies above are available the Team will identify potentially required "enabling works” or site preparation Fairfield is willing and able to do.
Throughout the project we will obtain approval and buy-in from project stakeholders.
Draft RFP/Q (~2-3 months)
In close coordination with Fairfield, the Team will craft a complete and concise RFP/Q for Fairfield to hire a progressive design-build firm to complete the design and construction of the maintenance facility retrofits. It is assumed that a template or past example will be available for the facility improvements. Risks and constraints associated with the project will be reflected in the RFP/Q. The Team will draft a project narrative for the anticipated scope of work, budget and all pertinent information required for proposers.
The Team will create an RFP/Q cost estimate form (if pricing will be asked of responders) to ensure cost metrics are evaluated evenly. The Team will work alongside Fairfield to define the evaluation criteria and proposed scoring matrix to be included in the RFP/Q. Separately, an evaluation manual for objective evaluation and scoring of the RFP will be created and provided to Fairfield. Fairfield will be trained on how to use the scoring evaluation.
As the final project scope is determined the Team will put together a revised estimated project timeline and budget. It will also contain a project specifications sheet for prospective vendors, terms and conditions (which will be reviewed by Fairfield’s legal/financial divisions). The RFP/Q will conform to Fairfield’s formatting guidelines and requirements.
The final RFQ/P will be reviewed and refined with Fairfield’s executive leadership and pertinent stakeholder feedback. The Team will help advertise the final RFP/Q to potential bidders.
Managing the RFQ/P process and Bidding Support (~1 month) After the RFP/Q is issued, the Team will coordinate and assist, as needed, a pre-submittal call, and/or collaborative dialog meetings with prospective vendors. The Team will review alternative technical concepts provided by vendors (if applicable), draft responses to vendor questions, and issue any necessary addendum / updates to any pertinent documents.
After bids have been received, the Team will support Fairfield in completing a technical review and scoring proposed submittals. The Team will host an evaluation and scoring review meeting with Fairfield to review the proposals and recommend a short list for Fairfield to interview. The Team will create a document repository with all comments, questions, and information regarding the selection of the vendor(s).
Ongoing Support (5-7 months)
After a progressive design-build firm is selected, the Willdan team will provide ongoing owner’s rep support to Fairfield while the design-build firm completes their design and prepares their guaranteed maximum price (GMP). Throughout the design, the Willdan team will work with the Design Builder to address RFI questions, validate assumptions based on the preliminary design and work with Fairfield to validate indicative phased pricing (i.e. 30, 70, 90 % design documents Packet Page 272 of 423Attachment 3 Page 4 of 18
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
5 that may be issued). If needed, the Willdan Team can implement and manage a Project Team Site for file sharing, data management, and document control. The Willdan Team will provide QA/QC of design-build firm’s deliverables (presentations, reports, documents, request for information, industry sounding day communications and logistics, etc.). When the design-build firm issues its final contract and GMP, the Willdan team will validate final GMP pricing and review contract terms. Willdan will provide stakeholder and Community Management as needed throughout the design-build process. (Administration, Community Development, Finance, HR, IT, and Public Works). This scope ends when a construction contract is issued with the selected design-build firm.
Deliverables for this task:
Copies of meeting agendas and meeting minutes
Temporary Maintenance Plan Report
Draft and final RFP/Q and scoring matrix
Responses to vendor questions
Evaluation of submitted proposals
Review and comments to Design-Build firm deliverables (design drawings, presentations, etc.)
Vetted final GMP and construction contract with selected design-build firm Task 3: Community Outreach
Description: As Fairfield beings to operate electric vehicles and start construction at the corporation yard Fairfield has indicated it wants to proactively engage the community on key element as it relates to using the new technology and upcoming construction that may impact neighboring residential areas. Willdan will leverage AIM Consulting’s (AIM) experience and knowledge of the City to lead the Community Outreach task. AIM will provide strategic advice and counsel, review project materials and information, coordinate with the City of Fairfield and the project team, and monitor team communications throughout the outreach and engagement.
Community Awareness and Education Program
Controversy often occurs about a project because stakeholders and community members have not received enough information about why a city is undertaking a project, what the project consists of, the project goals, and community benefits. When we share comprehensive information about the benefits of EV project it creates greater buy in from the community. At the beginning of the project, AIM will develop and implement a community awareness and education program to create a shared understanding of the project rollout, the project elements, and the community benefits.
The community awareness program will leverage the City’s existing communication links, community-based organizations and local media to help explain why the City is undergoing fleet electrification and how they can learn more. AIM’s communication professionals will create communication materials such as fact sheets, informational brochures, FAQs and digital infographics series, and social media programs that can be published on the City’s social media Packet Page 273 of 423Attachment 3 Page 5 of 18
Proposed Scope and Budget for Project Management and Owners Rep Scope and Budget for Fairfield’s Transit and Public Fleet Electrification Corporation Yard
6 channels, can be easily shared on other community-based organizations’ social media platforms, to highlight educational elements about the batter sourcing and potential construction impacts.
Communication Collateral and Project Website Content
AIM will develop outreach materials to inform the community about the City of Fairfield Fleet Electrification. These materials can include lawn signs, project flyers, informational brochures, fact sheets, and FAQs. A template for each collateral item will be developed consistently that is easily updated and sent or distributed through electronic means. AIM will distribute these materials via the website and email updates to the database as necessary.
AIM will develop updated content for the project webpage, to be hosted on the City website.
Webpage content will include educational information about both battery sourcing and construction concerns. Website visitors will be able to access project information such as fact sheets, FAQs, and a schedule. Visitors will also be able to provide their contact information to receive electronic project updates.
Social Media Plan
AIM will work with the City to create a social media campaign on existing social media channels (City Twitter and Facebook pages). Social media will be utilized to communicate educational information to stakeholders about the proposed plans and schedule, and AIM will partner with key stakeholders to send information through social media channels. A social media plan will be put in place for each task.
Direct Mail Piece (1)
AIM will prepare and mail project information flyers to properties and tenants in the vicinity of the project to update the constituents of the upcoming construction. The mailer will include but is not limited to the project description, website, the anticipated date for rollout, and educational materials. AIM will mail the postcard to residences and property owners in the vicinity identified by the City.
Pop-up Workshops (2)
Pop-up workshops can provide an opportunity to advertise the project by going into the community and playing into one of their events. Each pop-up workshop will take place at a community destination, local event, or high pedestrian key shopping center. The pop-ups will include displays and input boards illustrating educational information about the campaign.
AIM will facilitate, plan, provide all supplies, and coordinate all logistics for three sets of two pop-up workshops. AIM will develop engagement activities, board displays, interactive community engagement activities, informational fact sheets and brochures, and comment cards.
At the conclusion of the pop-up workshops, AIM will develop a comprehensive summary that will include all input obtained and photography; these summaries will be posted to the project webpage.

Task 4: Grant Assistance
Description: The Willdan team has supported Fairfield apply for multiple grants to date.
Fairfield will need ongoing grant support and assistance to continue applying for grants, rebates, incentives, and other funding opportunities.
As Needed Grant Assistance
When a grant opportunity is identified, Willdan and Fairfield will mutually agree on the level of effort needed from each party. Willdan can support in a variety of ways such as writing portions of grant applications, supporting filling out rebate or incentive forms, and/or preparing supporting calculations and cost estimates. This scope includes on-going support that may be needed once a grant is submitted, including responding to RFIs from grant administrators.
While specific grants and funding opportunities have not been identified yet, Willdan anticipates supporting Fairfield on a variety of funding applications that may include, but not limited to the following:
FTA Grants such as Low-No and Bus & Bus Facilities
RAISE. One RAISE grant is accounted for in this scope. CEC grants. The CEC is currently developing a grant program for municipal fleet electrification, which Fairfield may be eligible to apply for. Carl Moyer vehicle and infrastructure grants. Additional grant requests may be available each calendar year.
ENERGIIZE
TIRCP
New funding opportunities may become available in the future as the federal and state governments allocate new money towards vehicle electrification.
As different funding options require different levels of effort, the budget for the proposed task is meant to act as a starting point to provide continued grant support on an as-needed basis. For the purposes of this scope, Willdan will assume approximately $12,000 of effort per anticipated grant application, planned for up to 13 different non-RAISE grant or funding opportunities.
Certain grants and funding opportunities may require less effort, and some may require more.
As part of this task, Willdan has budgeted for 1 RAISE grant, which may require $45-$50K to help prepare given the level of detail required. This brings the total number of grants/funding opportunities under this scope to 14.

•Fairfield will need to retrofit and expand its maintenance facility to support its long-term EV fleet needs, including relocating the existing bus wash and adding four maintenance bays to the south of the existing facility, to help to meet the 2040 goal of a fully zero emissions fleet.
•While a preliminary assessment was completed, full design and construction must be completed. Several other buildings may need to be demoed and rebuilt in the corporation yard as part of the early site upgrades. •Fairfield is currently exploring a Design Bid Build (DBB), a Progressive Design Build (PDB) or a Design Build (DB) to accomplish this work. This presentation outlines the requirements for a PDB and DB.
•In order to prepare Fairfield for delivery of three (3) Gillig BEBs towards the end of 2023 or early 2024, the subsequent materials provide an outlined plan on assisting Fairfield with creating a transition plan for the safe maintenance of these buses while the main O&M facility, with the ultimate goal of securing a design builder to create a permanent solution.

Executive Summary
Progressive Design Build Design Build
•DB is recommended when the
Owner has a firm understanding
of project parameters,
requirements and objectives and
values design competition and
innovation.
•PDB is recommended when the
project Owner has less certainty
around the program and project
definition, and values
collaboration with the PDB firm
to identify the project’s needs.

PDB Process
Advantages:
•Design input: PDB offers better opportunities for best-value design decisions early in the process, as the efforts are collaborative. Slightly heightened design risk to the owner, however, allows for more owner input through a collaborative design process. •Cost transparency: PDB provides an “open-book” accounting system, allowing the team to evaluate how choices will affect the budget and schedule, i.e., value engineering can begin before design is finalized and GMP reached.
•Collaboration: PDB encourages collaboration between the owner and the design-build team, which can lead to better program and design development. •Schedule acceleration: Design finalization and construction are able to be had in parallel, leading to a compressed schedule when compared to DBB Drawbacks:
•Increased owner engagement: Owner is expected to be more present and collaborative in the design process •Reduced deliverables: The PDB RFP phase entails significantly reduced deliverable and design expectations and does not include an indicative or final GMP. Costs can be considered, but only in the context of PDB fee %.
•Reduced innovation and competitive tension: As there are fewer deliverables in the PDB procurement, there will be lower competitive tension in terms of cost, solutions and overarching innovation.
Step 1 Strategic Program
Definition
• The Owner establishes the
project vision, goals
objectives and identifies any
known potential challenges
(temporary O&M phasing,
schedule, funding, permitting,
etc.)
Step 2 Draft and Issue
Request for Qualifications
(RFQ)
•Professional, financial and
experiential requirements for
Proposers and the general
project parameters are
articulated in an RFQ.
Step 3 Proposal Submission
and Evaluation
•Once received, the Owner
evaluates proposals on the
basis of qualifications, project
approach, team member,
references and DB’s Fees
Step 4 Contract Award
•The selected PDB enters an
Initial Design Contract
contract(s) with the Owner,
which initiates a collaborative
design process. Once the
entire team is on board, plans
are finalized based on the
owner’s budget limitations,
vision, and goals.
Step 5 Design and GMP
•Owner work’s collaboratively
with the PDB team to arrive at
a design that establishes the
project requirements in terms
of facility size and
performance, criteria, finish
requirements, quality
standards, applicable codes,
regulatory standards,
population/capacities,
equipment requirements, etc.
This allows the PDB to arrive
at a GMP
Step 6 Contract Amendment
•The selected PDB executes
the final contract(s) with the
Owner, which incorporates
the collaborative design at the
negotiated GMP.
•*IMPORTANT* If a GMP is
not agreed upon, Owner has
the right to exit the contract
and take the initial design to
another bidder.
Step
7 Documents/Construction -
•Upon completion of the
design documents for all
elements (or for specific
phases) of the project,
construction commences. The
contract may provide for fast-
track methods, allowing
construction to proceed after
logical phases of design and
permitting are completed, but
prior to completion of the
entire body of construction
documents.

PDB is a delivery method that allows for collaborative development of project criteria that is a qualifications-based procurement process versus one based primarily on cost. In a PDB project, the owner issues a Request for Qualifications, and selects the design-build contractor based on the contractor’s qualifications and past performance. The design-build contractor and owner then collaborate to develop the project’s design and budget. OPTIONAL Engineering Service Agreement to get the preffered vendor to 100% DD and negotiate GMP, if negotiations fail, owner has right to go to second highest vendor. This collaboration allows the owner to have greater control and involvement throughout development of the design and budget. As far as budget is concerned, unlike in a DB project, the final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is typically not reached until the design is nearing completion. Rather, as the design progresses, the design-build contractor provides preliminary GMP at various milestones throughout the project until the final GMP is established Management and coordination of Project Due Diligence, Project Meetings, Stakeholder Engagement, Visioning Sessions with Executive Leadership. Quality Control / Quality Assurance of products and deliverables (presentations, reports, documents, request for information, industry sounding day communications and logistics, etc.) Packet Page 283 of 423Attachment 3 Page 15 of 18
Step 1 Strategic Facility
Planning
•The Owner analyzes its
current and future facility
requirements to determine
the appropriate facility
development plan for the
planned use.
Step 2 Program Definition
• The Owner establishes the
project requirements in
terms of facility size and
performance, criteria, finish
requirements, quality
standards, applicable codes,
regulatory standards,
population/capacities,
equipment requirements,
etc.
•*IMPORTANT* Anser would
recommend sourcing an
Architect and or Engineer to

design and indicative GMP.
Step
8 Documents/Construction
-
•Upon completion of the
design documents for all
elements (or for specific
phases) of the project,
construction commences.
DB Process
Advantages:
•Cost certainty: DB provides an Indicative GMP prior to a selection being made and through a two step qualifications and cost-based proposal. Hence, the requirement for more upfront work on the Owner, and increased deliverables from the proposers
•Innovation: DB enhances competitive tension, and encourages innovation between competing design-build teams, which can lead to better cost efficiencies, innovation in design, program and design development. •Risk management: DB allows shift design risk fully to the DB team. •Schedule acceleration: Design finalization and construction are able to be had in parallel, leading to a compressed schedule when compared to DBB Drawbacks:
•Increased upfront owner engagement: Owner is expected to have performed more leg work prior to procurement and requires greater internal resources to clearly articulate project objectives prior to procurement.
•Design input: DB offers design inputs past the 100% Schematic Design phase; however, Owner does not provide feedback on design until GMP is selected, hence the requirement to have a firmer understanding and clearer expectations laid out in the RFQ/P.
•Design stipend: Generally, for DB contractors to provide designs and a GMP, a stipend would be recommended. •Less transparency: Owner’s are provided limited amounts of documentation during the design process, and they might not be aware of the financial cost implications of the design choices until after a selection has been made.
•Control: Lower owner control over initial design and subcontractor selection Packet Page 284 of 423Attachment 3 Page 16 of 18
1. Upfront Technical Support
•Goal: Provide technical support prior to issuance of the procurement
•Deliverable: DB team throughout initial contract and get to final contract with PDB team. 100% Schematic and
GMP
•Tasks: Support Wildan in the project definition.
•Identify technical studies Fairfield has completed to
date, and what is most relevant for the RFQ/P as
needed, including but not limited to: master planning
documents, existing conditions reports, market analysis, geotechnical and subsurface investigations,
environmental site assessments, and traffic impact
study.
•Obtain existing utility maps for project site(s). Support Wildan in defining the program to a point where project teams are able to provide an indicative GMP.
•Stakeholder meetings to identify needs, gaps and
aspirations
•Administration, Community Development, Finance,
HR, IT, and Public Works)
•Initial meeting, meeting to confirm feedback/progress, and path forward
•Research case studies; Identify phasing options,
evaluate and recommend solutions; Develop a budget
by estimating the cost of each activity; Develop a risk management plan; Identify potential procurement
options and create and project delivery assessment.
•Result: Project specifications and a detailed plan
•Timeline: 4-6 months
•*it’s important to note we would recommend
outsourcing a design consultant to help finalize the
design layout, finishes and necessary information for a DB contractor to price.
2. Procurement
•Goal: Lead the procurement for a Design Build
Contractor
•Deliverable: A two step procurement process –
qualifications based RFQ and priced based RFP. Lead the procurement and assist.
•Tasks: Two procurements – RFQ and RFP, evaluation and
training manual for each, with the ultimate goal of a
selected DB contractor. Evaluate risks and constraints; Define the evaluation criteria; Develop a project
timeline; Define the RFQ/P format and requirements;
Develop the RFQ/P contents; Review and refine the
RFQ/P; Obtain legal and procurement approvals; Project

While the City willrespond to various legislative items throughout the year, priority policy areas include providing affordable housing and homeless resources, maintaining local control, and pursuing criminal justice reform.
Affordable Housing and Homeless Resources
The City continues to support policies and funding mechanisms for affordable housing and homeless resources. The City strives to permanently reduce homelessness in Fairfield by protecting the health and safety of all residents, increasing housing opportunities, enhancing the system of care, improving public policy and engagement, and strengthening regional capacity to address homelessness. Since fiscal year 2019, the City of Fairfield has spent approximately $11.57 million in overall services for those experiencing homelessness. The City will continue to seek funding support and legislation that provides resources and programming to address California's homeless crisis. Affordable and permanent supportive housing is a vital component in addressing homelessness, and the City strives to make housing accessible to all income and service levels. The City will continue to monitor and support sustainable funding for various levels of housing while also balancing the importance of local control over planning and land use.
Maintaining Local Control
The City of Fairfield is committed to preserving local control and decisionmaking authority, along with state and local funding sources, and opposes unfunded or inadequately funded mandates. The City supports ongoing engagement between state and local governments to ensure local control is maintained and responsible housing development is promoted in a collaborative effort.
Criminal Justice Reform
The City of Fairfield is dedicated to advocating for meaningful reforms to California Propositions 47 and 58 to address concerns related to public safety and the criminal justice system. Recognizing the importance of criminal justice reform, the City seeks modifications to Proposition 47 to ensure that its intended goals of reducing certain nonviolent offenses to misdemeanors do not inadvertently compromise public safety. The City also advocates for a review and potential adjustment of Proposition 58, which addresses nonviolent juvenile offenders. While supporting the underlying principles of these propositions, the City emphasizes the necessity of refining the legislative framework to strike an appropriate balance. The aim is to prevent unintended consequences that may hinder the Police Department's ability to hold offenders accountable and ensure community safety. The City urges collaborative efforts to revisit and reform Propositions 47 and 58 to better align with the needs and concerns of our community while upholding the principles of fairness, justice, and public welfare.
Adoption of the proposed Platform by the council will streamline the City’s advocacy efforts by enabling City staff to take immediate action on pressing legislative items efficiently and without delay under council direction. Throughout the legislative session, the City will review and take positions on various policy and budget items at the state and federal levels. When a recommended position is consistent with existing City policy, as adopted in the Platform, the City Manager’s Office will prepare a position letter for the mayor’s signature.
