MAP TO MODIFY THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE 5.135 ACRE PARCEL KNOWN AS 1065 EAST HILLSDALE BOULEVARD AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF FOSTER CITY BOULEVARD AND EAST HILLSDALE BOULEVARD IN THE C-2/PD (GENERAL BUSINESS/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)

CITY OF FOSTER CITY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOSTER CITY DOES FIND AND ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. The City Council has reviewed the evidence and recommendations of the Planning Commission and based on facts and analysis in the Staff Reports, written and oral testimony, and exhibits presented, approves the recommendation of the Planning Commission and finds that the proposed rezoning would not be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of the City of Foster City because:
A. The proposed General Development Plan Amendment/Rezoning will be in furtherance of and in accordance with the General Plan of the City of Foster City because it will: 1) be consistent with Town Center General Plan Land Use designation of the subject site; 2) result in greater variety of land uses as well as density and intensity of land uses in the area consistent with Land Use Goal LUC-C and Policy LUC-C-12; 3) provide basic goods and services to residents and employees within walking distance consistent with Land Use Goal H and Use Policies D-1, D-2, E-8; and H-3; 4) architecturally complement the surrounding built environment, with the overall scale and massing of the project punctuating the verticality of adjacent buildings and structures while remaining in character with the overall development pattern of the neighborhood consistent with Land Use Goal LUC-B; 5) provide for economic development consistent with the principles of Land Use Goal LUC-I; and 6) provide for adequate on-site parking for safe and effective circulation, consistent with Land Use Goal LUC-G and Policy LUC-G-1; and B. The proposed project is a feasible and viable concept, supported by economic analysis. It would be primarily an ancillary amenity for existing and/or future occupants of the Century Plaza Office building, nearby employees and residents, and provide an opportunity for typically under-capitalized, local entrepreneurs and small business owners access to brick-and-mortar accommodation; and
C. Existing and proposed utility services and facilities and other public improvements such as fire and police protection; school services; open space and recreation; water supply; wastewater treatment; solid waste and electricity; gas and telecommunications are adequate for the proposed pavilion density and land use because: 1) the proposed project will be required to meet all Fire Code requirements, and, therefore, will not reduce the ability of the Foster City Fire Department to meet existing performance standards or exceed the capabilities of the existing or planned staffing levels; 2) no increased demand is anticipated for police services; no new school facilities will be required as a result of 22 the project; 3) anticipated water requirements or wastewater discharges are not high enough to require the expansion of the existing systems; 4) the project was included in the City of Foster City/Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) 2020 Urban Water Management Plan; and, 5) the amount of solid waste generated will not substantially shorten the life of the landfill. Other utilities serving the project are expected to be adequate due to the small scale of the project on a site served by existing utilities; and D. While implementation of the project will remove 27 parking spaces and increase parking demand on the site, the existing parking on the site will meet the demand. A parking study provided by the applicant describes peak parking demand for the existing office and the proposed pavilion in operation. Extrapolating from parking surveys, the peak parking demand for the existing office use, when 100% occupied, would total 233 parking stalls.
Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) demand, the proposed pavilion would have a demand for 86 parking stalls. There would be a total demand for 319 spaces where 332 are provided; there would be an excess of 13 parking spaces; and E. The proposed project will not have a detrimental and unmitigatable financial impact on the City or the Estero Municipal Improvement District; and
F. The proposed Rezoning will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts The project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA, under Class 3, CEQA Section 15303 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Neither the project nor site meet any of the exceptions to the exemptions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 Exceptions.
Section 2. The City of Foster City Zoning Map is hereby amended to modify the previously approved General Development Plan for the 5.135-acre parcel known as 1065 East Hillsdale Boulevard at the northwest corner of Foster City Boulevard and East Hillsdale Boulevard (APN 094-512-080) in the C-2/PD (General Business/Planned Development Combining) district to a C-2/PD district with an amended General Development Plan to allow an approximately 5,200 square-foot, stand-alone outdoor pavilion structure featuring restaurant/retail tenant spaces, outdoor seating, and restrooms, primarily as an ancillary amenity to the existing Century Plaza office use, and removal of 27 parking stalls, in accordance with the General Development Plan as shown on Exhibits A and B of this Ordinance, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it should have adopted the Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional.
Section 4. Taking Effect. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from and after its adoption.
Section 5. Posting. Within fifteen (15) days after the adoption of this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall have it posted in three (3) public places designated by the City Council. 23 This Ordinance was introduced and read on the 6th day of June, 2022, and passed and adopted on the day of 20 th day of June, 2022, by the following vote:

56 DATE: June 20, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Edmund Suen, Interim City Manager
FROM: Priscilla Schaus, Communications Director/City Clerk
SUBJECT: ONE-YEAR EXTENSION ON AN AGREEMENT WITH TRIPEPI SMITH AND ASSOCIATES INC. FOR STRATEGIC
COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH SERVICES FOR THE
LEVEE PROTECTION PLANNING AND IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT (CIP 327-657) FROM AUGUST 1, 2022 TO JULY 31,
2023
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing a one-year extension on an agreement with Tripepi Smith and Associates (Tripepi Smith) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $133,408.80 for Strategic Communication and Outreach Services for the Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project (CIP 327-657).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A key priority of the Levee Project is to keep community members informed and updated on the progress of the project, such as timelines, impacts, milestones, and other key information. The City has a team of communications professionals that are aiding City staff with outreach work on the Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project (Levee Project). In early 2021, the City entered into a short-term contract for proactive communication services with Tripepi Smith, and City Council approved 57 Contract Amendment No. 1 for Tripepi Smith to remain engaged on the project for a longer timeline and allow them to expand their scope of work to meet the needs of the team. The current team includes Tripepi Smith, Paul Nagengast with Regional Government Services, and City’s Public Works Department and Communications Division staff.
On July 19, 2021, the City Council approved a contract with Tripepi Smith for an initial period of one year from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 for Strategic Communication and Outreach Services for the Levee Project to ensure continuing comprehensive and proactive communications, outreach efforts, and responsive and timely communications to citizen inquiries. The agreement was initially brought to the City Council as an agreement for a one-year term with two optional one-year extensions to be exercised at the City Manager's discretion. At this meeting, the City Council approved only the one-year term and directed staff to come back to the City Council for any extensions of the contract. The initial term of the contract is about to expire, and the project team has evaluated the services provided and determined the communications support by Tripepi Smith has continued to yield positive results. Thus, staff is recommending the City Council authorize a one-year extension on an agreement with Tripepi Smith and Associates (Tripepi Smith) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $133,408.80 for Strategic Communication and Outreach Services for the Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project (CIP 327-657).
Although staff does not expect cost increases as the project continues, the full amount is requested to account for the possibility of unforeseen circumstances arising during the remaining construction period. Unused contract funds will be returned to the Levee Project account. Staff is requesting the extension of the first extension period only, and will come back to the City Council with a request for a second extension per the policy direction received on July 19, 2021.
BACKGROUND
Construction of the Levee Project began in October of 2020 and will continue through January 2024. As construction continues over the project timeline, the City will continue to conduct extensive, proactive communications and outreach on the project duration, impacts, updates, and other important information. The City has communicated with residents through various platforms and methods, including: social media, press releases, project website, mailers, flyers, Community Update webinars, and a construction update electronic newsletter.
58 The City saw a need for additional communications support to inform the community and address concerns raised by the public related to the largest public works project in the City’s history. As the start of construction commenced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City received a high volume of inquiries and concerns from community members through email, phone, and a Change.org petition. To address this growing need for education and information, the City executed an agreement with Tripepi Smith in an amount not to exceed $49,000 for proactive communications support and services for the Levee Project, and thereafter City Council authorized the execution of a contract amendment in the amount of $61,000 and the increased contract amount of $110,000 provided sufficient funding to cover all costs for Tripepi Smith’s work through July 31, 2021. A total of $93,478.75 was spent from January 4 to July 31, 2021, and the unused contract funds were returned to the Levee Project account.
On July 19, 2021, City Council approved a contract in an amount not to exceed $127,056 from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 for Strategic Communication and Outreach Services for the Levee Project. As of April 30, 2022, $81,303 or 64% has been spent of the total contract amount and $45,753 remains with two billable months remaining. Monthly costs have varied from $11,107 in August 2021, to $7,081 in February and have generally remained approximately $7,500. Generally, there has been a decrease in costs as the project construction has continued as anticipated, and it is expected that unspent funds will remain at the end of the contract, to be returned to the Levee Project account. As an additional resource, Tripepi Smith has helped to enhance the Project’s communications efforts through a new standalone website, more comprehensive and easy to understand FAQs, community updates, and the preparation of presentations and talking points for project team staff. Tripepi Smith has proactively communicated ongoing activities to address topics of interest clearly and efficiently. Staff has evaluated the services provided and recommends a contract extension to continue communication and support services and ensure that the community continues to receive extensive, proactive communications and outreach on project information.
If the contract extension is approved at tonight's meeting, the contract extension will begin August 1, 2022 and funds not expended from the original contract first year will be returned to the Levee Project account. The Levee Project is anticipated to be completed by January 2024, and this agreement extension along with an additional extension would provide communications 59 support services through the remainder of the project.
ANALYSIS
The contract is currently set with a monthly retainer amount of $6,500 with other ad hoc charges as additional services are incurred. The retainer amount includes a limited scope of work consisting of items that are expected to be completed regularly, such as production of the construction newsletter, website content updates, project management, creation of social media content, and other tasks. Other items in the scope of work are expected to be necessary, but the demand cannot be readily predicted, therefore paying for these items on a time and materials/ad hoc basis is preferred. Staff negotiated this pricing strategy to allow the use of the retainer rates on some services which are lower than ad hoc rates. The extension of the contract would retain the negotiated pricing structure, with a 5% increase to reflect Consumer Price Index (CPI). Although the requested not-to-exceed amount is $133,408.80, staff anticipates lower spending reflective of expenditures thus far, and unused funds would be returned to the Levee Project account.
Staff evaluated the services provided by Tripepi Smith and determined that the contract extension would ensure that the necessary communications support services are procured for this ongoing large-scale project. Should construction end early or if services are no longer needed, staff would terminate the contract early and the City would only pay for services rendered.
As part of the contract, Tripepi Smith will continue to provide communications and outreach support including, but not limited to:
Drafting content / messaging for Levee Project updates, such as social media, press releases, newsletters, talking points, frequently asked questions (FAQs), flyers, and/or mailers.
Designing graphics for social media, flyers, signage, and/or mailers and coordinating distribution.
Managing and maintaining the Levee Project electronic newsletter. Managing and maintaining the Levee Project website.
Developing concepts for and producing Levee Project informational videos.
Developing outreach strategies for engaging target audiences. Managing the Levee Project inquiry hotline and email box. Developing memos to keep the City Council informed.
60 Coordinating with the Levee Project construction team and other staff on key updates to keep the community informed.
Organizing and hosting virtual or in-person Community Updates. Monitoring social media to understand community sentiment. Facilitating media inquiries and developing messaging for interviews. Evaluating and measuring outreach efforts.
Preparing presentations and materials for the Levee Project team to present at conferences or other regional meetings.
Attending and presenting communications efforts at City Council meetings.
Develop event timelines and talking points for ribbon cuttings or other events.
Communication and public engagement is a critical component of the overall project, and there is continued need for focused and targeted communications. Although staff has seen some leveling of the community- wide concern recently, continued spikes in community interest are anticipated as construction activities continue. To retain an appropriate level of service and response, staff anticipates the need for continued focus on proactive communications to share information and project updates in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is adequate funding available in the budget for the Levee Project for the extension of the existing contract with Tripepi Smith in an amount not to exceed $133,408.80 for Strategic Communication and Outreach Services for the Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project. The initial agreement approved on July 19, 2021 was in an amount not to exceed $127,056 in the initial one-year term, with negotiated terms of up to $133,408.80 in the first extension period (year 2), and up to $140,079.24 in the second extension period (year 3), reflective of a 5% annual increase.
Although staff does not expect cost increases as the project continues, the full amount is requested to account for the possibility of unforeseen circumstances arising during the remaining construction period. Unused funds from the contract will be returned to the Levee Project account number 327-0910-657-4251. Staff is requesting the extension of the first extension period only, and will come back to the City Council with a request for a second extension per the previous policy direction.
61 CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREAS This action is an ongoing step of the Levee Project initiative under the “Facilities & Infrastructure” and “City Council Operations and Improved Community Engagement” Value/Priority Areas. The key outcome is to make substantial progress toward an improved levee on time and within budget to protect the community and critical infrastructure from storms and high tide.
Part of this process involves implementing comprehensive communications and outreach efforts and providing a resource for responsive and timely communications to general citizen inquiries.

SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO RADIUS
EARTHWORK, INC. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT FY 2020/2021 (CIP
301-697); AND AN APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF
$60,000 TO CIP 301-697
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing:
1. The Mayor to execute an agreement with Radius Earthwork, Inc. in the amount of $1,337,300 for the construction of the Pavement Rehabilitation Project FY 2020/2021 (CIP 301-697); and
2. The establishment of a contingency in the amount of $162,000 with authorization given to the City Manager to execute contract change orders up to the contingency amount; and
3. An appropriation in the amount of $60,000 from Fund 301 to the existing project budget, Account No. 301-0910-697-4251, for funds previously collected from Gilead Sciences, Inc. to be used towards the City’s pavement management program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIP 301-697 consists of street rehabilitation and pavement maintenance on 85 various streets in Neighborhood No. 1 and No. 8. The rehabilitation project will help to increase and maintain the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is a numerical index used to indicate the general condition of a pavement. Design for the project was performed in-house by Public Works staff.
Existing funding of $1,500,000 is provided by a combination of Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, and SB1 funding and is available in the approved budget for construction. The City Council action will allow staff to award the project for construction. Construction is anticipated to take approximately 3 months.
Three (3) bids for the construction of the Pavement Rehabilitation Project FY20/21 (CIP 301-697) were received and opened on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. Radius Earthwork, Inc. submitted the apparent low base bid of $1,177,300. With the appropriation of $60,000, the revised project budget will be $1,560,000. Adequate funding is available in the approved project budget to fully fund construction, including the additional Alternative 1, which resurfaces Bounty Drive from Foster City Boulevard to Comet Drive (Total contract award with Alt 1 is $1,337,300). Construction is anticipated to start in August 2022 and is estimated to take three months to complete.
BACKGROUND
At the meeting on April 18, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-37 approving the plans and specifications for CIP 301-697 and authorized the call for bids. Out of three (3) bids received and opened, the apparent low base bid was $1,177,300 submitted by Radius Earthwork, Inc., and was found to be responsive.
The scope of work consists of street rehabilitation and pavement maintenance on various streets in Neighborhood No. 1 and No. 8. Work will include the installation of new ADA, ramps, signage, and striping. The rehabilitation project will help to increase and maintain the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is a numerical index used to indicate the general condition of a pavement. Design for the project was performed in-house by Public Works staff.
After award of the construction contract and before the start of construction, the contractor shall provide all their necessary paperwork and meet with the City for a preconstruction meeting. The contractor will have 90 calendar days 86 to substantially complete the project from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
Gilead Sciences, Inc. has contributed $60,000 dollars to the City for use on pavement improvements.
ANALYSIS
The bid results are as follows:
Company Name Total Base Bid Over Base Bid Total Bid w/ Alternative 1 Radius Earthwork, Inc. $ 1,177,300.00 - - $1,337,000.00 Interstate Grading, Paving $ 1,284,937.10 $ 107,637.10 9.1% $1,424,337.60 G Bortolotto & Company $1,263,403.66 $ 86,103.66 7.3% $1,404,896.66 The lowest bidder, Radius Earthwork, Inc., has met all the bid requirements. All bid submissions had a small math error, but it did not affect the results of the bid. The values in the chart above have been corrected to reflect the actual dollar amounts.
The work included in Altervative 1 includes a grind and overlay of Bounty Drive from Foster City Boulevard to Comet Drive. Following the resurfacing, the roadway will be restriped and existing signage will be replaced.
Construction is anticipated to start in August 2022 and to be completed by November 2022. Project management will be done through City staff and potential consultant support.
FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with construction will be funded through CIP 301- 697. Existing funding of $1,500,000 is provided by a combination of Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, and SB1 funding and is available in the approved budget for construction. Additionally, Gilead Sciences, Inc. contributed a development impact fee of $60,000 as a condition of approval, to cover their calculated share of pavement improvements required, resulting from road deterioration from construction vehicles associated with the construction of 368 Lakeside Drive. The funds need to be appropriated to the project account to be incorporated into the City’s pavement management program. With the total additional appropriation of $60,000, the total Project budget will be $1,560,000.
87 The construction bids came in as anticipated and near the engineer’s estimate (with contingency) of $1,500,000. A contingency of $162,000 or approximately 12% of the total bid is requested to pay for any unforeseen conditions during construction. No additional funding should be needed for the construction due to the competitive bids received.

B. Increases or Decreases in Unit Price Quantities:
1. Increased or Decreased Quantities:
Increases or decreases in the quantity of a contract item of work will be determined by comparing the quantity of work as listed in the proposal schedule with the actual quantity of work performed by the Contractor, as measured by the Engineer. The City shall have the right to make changes in the plans and/or specifications and the Contractor shall perform the work as changed.
No adjustment to the unit price for any item in the Proposal Schedule shall be made in the event the number of repair locations are increased or decreased from the scheduled maintenance program. All work performed shall be measured and paid based on the contract unit price included in the proposal schedule.
2. Eliminated Items:
a. The City of Foster City reserves the right to eliminate any of the scheduled work. The unit price shall not be subject to change based on the deletion of work.
Should any contract item of the work be eliminated in its entirety, unless otherwise provided for in the contract, payment will be made to the Contractor for actual costs incurred in connection with such eliminated contract item if incurred prior to the date of notification in writing by the Engineer of such elimination.
a. If acceptable material is ordered by the Contractor for the eliminated item prior to the date of notification of such elimination by the Engineer, and if orders for such material cannot be canceled, it will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor. In such case, the material paid for shall become the property of the City and the actual cost of any further handling will be paid for. If the material is returnable to the vendor and if the Engineer so directs, the material shall be returned and the Contractor will be paid for the actual cost of charges made by the vendor for returning the material.
The actual cost of handling returned material will be paid for. Written documentation of costs of cancellation or return must be submitted. b. The actual costs or charges to be paid by the City to the Contractor as provided in this section will be computed based on the unit prices listed in the Proposal Schedule.
C. Protest Procedure (Change Orders):

The protest shall state the points of disagreement, contract references, quantities, and costs involved. The Engineer shall consider and investigate such protest within a reasonable time. If a written protest is not submitted, adjustment of the contract time and payment will be made as set forth in the approved contract change order and shall constitute full compensation for all work included therein or required thereby. An unprotested change order will be considered as an executed contract change order. 109
Appendix F to Construction Services Agreement 05205 - 3 Street Rehabiliation FY 20/21Updated 1/18/2022
2. When the protest concerning an approved change order relates to compensation, the Contractor shall keep full and complete records of the costs of such work and shall permit the Engineer to have such access thereto as may be necessary to assist in the determination of the compensation payable for such work.
3. When the protest concerning an approved work order relates to the adjustment of contract time for the completion of the work, the time to be allowed will be determined as provided in Paragraph 1.15 of this section.
D. Extra Work:
Extra work will not be paid for unless ordered in writing by the Engineer. When authorized, extra work will be paid for in accordance with the Proposal Schedule or by a negotiated adjustment.

3. Completed work shall be paid for on a monthly basis by Contract Change Order.
1.6 COST OF OVERTIME CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION

There will be no charges for the inspection of overtime work ordered by the Engineer.
1.7 CHANGES AT THE CONTRACTOR'S REQUEST

The Contractor's written request for deviation shall be submitted prior to the start of affected work with enough time allowed to give the Engineer a reasonable review period. Only written authorization from the Engineer will permit deviations from the specifications.
1.8 AUTHORITY OF THE ENGINEER
A. On all questions concerning the acceptability of material or machinery, the classification of material, the execution of the work, and conflicting interests of contractors performing related work, the decision of the Engineer shall be final and binding upon both parties, except in the case of gross error.
B. The Engineer will make periodic observations of materials and completed work to observe their compliance with plans, specifications, and design and planning concepts, but the Contractor shall be responsible for the superintendence of construction processes, coordination of subcontractors or materials, site conditions, operations, equipment, 110
Appendix F to Construction Services Agreement 05205 - 4 Street Rehabiliation FY 20/21Updated 1/18/2022
personnel, or the maintenance of a safe place to work or any safety in, on, or about the site of the work.
C. Authority and Duties of Engineer's Field Representatives:
1. Field representatives of the Engineer may be stationed on the project site to report to the Engineer as to the progress of the work, the manner in which it is being performed, and to report whenever it appears that material furnished and work performed by the Contractor fail to fulfill the requirements of the contract documents. The representative may direct the attention of the Contractor to such failure or infringement but such construction review shall not relieve the Contractor from any obligation to furnish acceptable materials or to provide completed construction in a safe and satisfactory manner in every particular.
2. In case any dispute arises between the Engineer's field representative and the Contractor as to materials furnished or the satisfactory performance of the work, the representative shall have the authority to reject materials or recommend suspension of the work by the Engineer until the question and issue can be referred to and decided by the Engineer. Such authority, however, shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Engineer's field representative to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor or any other party. Field representatives are not authorized to revoke, alter, enlarge, relax or release any requirements of the contract documents nor to issue instructions contrary to the contract documents.
Field representatives shall in no case act as foremen, superintendents, or perform other duties for the Contractor or interfere with the management of the work by the Contractor.

Work or material that does not conform to the specifications may be rejected at any stage of the work notwithstanding previous inspections by the Engineer.
B. Quality control of the work to ensure compliance with the contract documents is the responsibility of the Contractor. Testing and inspection of the work, or the lack thereof, by the City does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to provide a quality assurance program to ensure compliance with the contract documents.
C. The Engineer may perform or have the Contractor perform tests of material and equipment to demonstrate compliance with the contract documents. If such tests were not required to be performed by the Contractor by the contract documents, the cost of testing will be paid for by the City when tests show that materials or equipment comply with the contract documents, and shall be paid for by the Contractor when tests show that materials or equipment fail to comply with the contract documents.
1.10 DATA TO BE FURNISHED BY THE CONTRACTOR
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer reasonable facilities for obtaining such information as the Engineer may desire respecting the character of the materials and the progress and manner of work, including information necessary to determine its costs, such as the number of personnel employed, their pay, the time during which they worked on the various classes of construction, and other pertinent data.

1.15 DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME
A. If any delay having a direct effect on the work is caused by factors within the Contractor's control, it is non-excusable and the Contractor will not be entitled to compensation for damages resulting directly or indirectly therefrom, or for any extension of time.
B. If any delay having a direct effect on the work is caused by unusually severe weather conditions, including periods exceeding the "Normal Rainfall Days", or by strikes, or act of God, such delay may be excusable and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, provided that the Contractor has taken reasonable precautions to foresee and prevent delays due to such causes and provided that the Contractor has notified the Engineer in writing of the causes of the delay within 7 calendar days from the beginning of any such delay. In such event the Contractor shall be entitled to time only.

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Aug Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.
5 7 6 4 1 1 0 0 0 2 4 8
C. If any delay having a direct effect on the work is caused by the specific orders of the Engineer to stop work, or by the performance of extra work ordered by the Engineer, or by failure of the City to provide material, or necessary instructions for carrying on the work, or to provide the necessary right of way or site for installation, or failure of a utility to remove or relocate an existing facility, such delay may be compensable and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, and may entitle the Contractor to damages resulting directly from any of the causes of delay hereinabove specified or from delays or hindrances to the work, provided that the Contractor has taken reasonable precautions to prevent delays due to such causes and provided that the Contractor has notified the Engineer in writing of the causes of the delay within 10 calendar days from the beginning of any such delay.
D. When a Contractor experiences two concurrent delays, one compensable and the other non-compensable, no compensation other than time extensions will be allowed.
E. An extension of time must be approved by the Engineer to be effective, but an extension of time whether with or without consent of the sureties, shall not release the sureties from their obligations, which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.
1.16 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The Engineer may order the Contractor to suspend any work that may be subject to damage by climatic conditions. In such event the Contractor shall be entitled to time only. Additional costs incurred because of the delay will be paid for by the Contractor at no additional cost to the City.

Or in the event that the Engineer elects, in lieu of such substitution, to have supplied, and to retain and use, any such inventions, processes, 113
Appendix F to Construction Services Agreement 05205 - 7 Street Rehabiliation FY 20/21Updated 1/18/2022
equipment, articles, materials, supplies, or appliances, as may by this contract be required to be supplied and used, the Contractor shall at the Contractor's expense pay such royalties and secure such valid licenses as may be requisite and necessary to enable the City, its officers, agents, servants, and employees, or any of them, to use such inventions, processes, equipment, articles, materials, supplies, or appliances without being disturbed or in any way interfered with by any proceeding in law or equity on account thereof. Should the Contractor neglect or refuse promptly to make the substitution hereinbefore required, or to pay such royalties and secure such licenses as may be necessary and requisite for the purpose aforesaid, then in that event the Engineer shall have the right to make such substitution, or the City may pay such royalties and secure such licenses and charge the cost thereof against any money due the Contractor from the City, or recover any amount thereof from the Contractor and the Contractor's surety, notwithstanding final payment under this contract may have been made.

If the Contractor still wishes to protest, the Contractor shall, 114
Appendix F to Construction Services Agreement 05205 - 8 Street Rehabiliation FY 20/21Updated 1/18/2022
within 15 calendar days after receipt of same, file a written protest with the Engineer, stating clearly and in detail the Contractor's objections and reasons therefor.

C. Any decision, order, instructions, notice, or act or omission of the Engineer for which the Contractor has submitted a protest shall be final and conclusive on the Contractor if the Contractor fails to submit or document a claim with respect thereto in the manner and within the times above stated, and such failure shall constitute a waiver of all claims in connection therewith, whether direct or consequential in nature, provided that the Engineer may, if the Contractor shows good cause, and if the interests of the City will not be prejudiced, consider and decide a properly documented claim on its merits notwithstanding the Contractor's failure to submit it within the time above stated.

Pursuant to California Public Contracts Code Section 9204, claims shall be resolved as follows:
(1) (a) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the public entity to which the claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision.
(b) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim, pursuant to Appendix B (General Conditions), Section 2.16. (c) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(d) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply. (2) (a) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (b) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree 119
Appendix F to Construction Services Agreement 05205 - 13 Street Rehabiliation FY 20/21Updated 1/18/2022
to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(c) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
(d) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (e) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution appropriating funds from the Information Technology Equipment Replacement Fund (Account No. 504-0160-419-4388) and authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Cartegraph Inc. for Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) in an amount not to exceed $78,312.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) and conducting an extensive evaluation process, staff is recommending the proposal from Cartegraph Inc. for a CMMS deployment. Their solution would best fit the City’s needs for a modern, flexible, and efficient CMMS System. The total price, including installation and integration with the City’s existing software, is $78,312.
Funding for this project is available in the IT Equipment Replacement Fund (Account No. 504-0160-419-4388), however we are requesting that City Council appropriate $28,312 to supplement the $50,000 already budgeted for this purchase.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Foster City currently maintains 2 Geographic Information System (GIS) systems:
The first GIS system we maintain is an aging Mapguide 6.5 deployment. This version of Mapguide has not been supported by the vendor for 10+ years. This system is still used by some City departments due to the many custom-coded recordkeeping and maintenance tracking solutions that exist inside this system. The second GIS system in use at the City is an up-to-date ESRI ArcGIS environment. The City of Foster City has standardized on ESRI ArcGIS and we will continue to enhance and deploy new solutions on ESRI exclusively.
ESRI ArcGIS unfortunately does not have built-in capabilities to do maintenance tracking/work orders. Many agencies use a CMMS system to fill this gap, and that is what we are hoping to accomplish by deploying this CMMS.
The existing maintenance tracking forms in the old system will be used as a starting point for the work tracking forms to be developed in the new CMMS.
A partial list of some of the solutions still maintained in the old system include:
Vehicle Maintenance
Building Maintenance Work Request/Work Tracking
Water Infrastructure Work Tracking
Wastewater Infrastructure Work Tracking
Streets/Lagoon Work Tracking
Historical data from the old custom-built system will be migrated to the new CMMS. City staff will eventually want to shut off the former GIS system once all work tracking functions are moved to a CMMS.
The IT Division released a RFP for a CMMS Deployment Project in April 2022 and received proposals from eleven (11) vendors. After analysis of the 164
proposals, four (4) vendors were chosen to participate in scripted demonstrations. The IT Division, along with members of the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments participated in the demonstrations. Finally, 2 finalist vendors were contacted to clarify questions regarding their proposals. Based on the proposed software features, references, and price, the proposal from Cartegraph Inc. was chosen as the recommended solution.
As part of the RFP scope, staff included only 3 modules for the initial rollout:
Parks, Facilities, and Water. This was done to keep from overloading staff. In future years, City staff will likely be requesting to deploy other modules (Vehicles, Wastewater, Stormwater, etc.) The deployment costs for those modules will be requested in the IT Budget in those future years.
FISCAL IMPACT
A line item for CMMS was included in the 2021-2022 IT Division Budget IT in the amount of $50,000. Since the proposals came in higher than we had planned, staff requests via the attached Resolution that the City Council authorize a budget appropriation of $28,311.92 from the IT Equipment Replacement Fund (Account No. 504-0160-419-4388) to supplement the $50,000 already budgeted for this purchase.
Total funding of $78,312 would be sufficient to cover the initial year of this project:
OMS Plus $12,732.44
Facilities Domain $4,129.44
Parks and Recreation
Domain
$1,720.60
Water Distribution Domain $4,129.44
165
OMS Users (20) $10,000.00
Implementation Services $45,600.00 (one time cost)
Total $78,311.92
Ongoing annual maintenance costs of $32,712 (rounded to the nearest dollar) will be funded by the IT Operating Budget in future years.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREA
This project is included in the "Innovation and Sustainability" Value/Priority Area. More specifically, the project falls under the initiative "Prioritize City modernization efforts and explore Foster City applications." By deploying this application, the City will improve our maintenance tracking process, resulting in staff efficiency and better reporting capabilities.

COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Vendor Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between City of Foster City (“City”) and Cartegraph (“Vendor”) dated June 20, 2022.
1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.
B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor (which for purposes herein includes all subcontractors) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor and which are beyond its reasonable control.
C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Vendor acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Vendor’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, the Vendor shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.
D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Vendor did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Vendor submitted its proposal. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Vendor will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.
E. An “Unknown COVID-19 Cost” is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable and unavoidable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Vendor’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subcontractors failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.
2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Vendor is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 Conditions must be accounted for in the Vendor’s price and schedule. In order to be 52 219
36 Updated 1/18/2022
entitled to any relief from a COVID-19 Condition, the Vendor must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.
3. Compliance with COVI D-19 Proclamations.
A. Vendor shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of the Services. The cost of such compliance is non- compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.
B. Vendor is responsible to ensure that its subcontractors and suppliers comply with COVID-19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.
4. Delay. The Vendor is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.
5. City Directed Suspension. The City may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Vendor may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations. The City may suspend the Services for its convenience. The Vendor is entitled to a time extension for a City Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Vendor incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.
6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City will reimburse the Vendor for Unknown COVID-19 Costs which are not included in the schedule of values.
7. Safe Work Practices . Vendor shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subcontractors, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Vendor remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.
8. Monitoring and Reporting. City may require the Vendor to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID- 19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Vendor shall immediately report to City any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Vendor shall not knowingly allow any worker who has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City building. In the event of an outbreak 53 220
37 Updated 1/18/2022
or an exposure to COVID-19, the City may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.
9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and Vendor have executed this Covid-19 Amendment as of the date set forth above.

Dear Mr. Lasky:
Before we dive into software functionality and requirements, I’d like to give kudos to the team at the City of Foster City. In the 24 months or so we’ve been working together, I’ve have been impressed with your passion and dedication to making your community a better place. It is refreshing to work with a team that is forward-thinking, smart, and striving to become a high-performance organization. I’m honored that you’re considering Cartegraph as a partner on that journey.

The enclosed proposal details how we will similarly work with you, delivering tremendous benefits to the City, including the following:
• A 100% GIS-centric solution. Cartegraph and Esri’s powerful ArcGIS platform work seamlessly together, combining your existing GIS web maps and asset inventories with rich operations and asset management functionality. Through this combination, the City will see where things are happening and how information is connected, resulting in increased productivity, data-driven problem solving, smoother operations, and a better experience for your citizens and employees.
• California-based expertise . Our work with more than three dozen California cities, towns, counties, and other entities has provided us with unique insight into challenges that Californians face every day.
• Mobile app designed for easy field use. Accurate and timely field data collection provides greater data quality—improving communication and enabling more timely decisions.
