COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5723) DOC ID: 5723
Updated: 7/10/2026 9:20 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 On-Call Land Use And Development Consultant Services Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute Master Service Agreements with Consulting Firms to Support Land Use and Development Services.

E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: Community Development utilizes a number of on-call consulting services to support land use and development-related permitting services. On-call consultants provide expertise that staff does not have (e.g., acoustical noise and vibration analysis) or provide supplemental staffing during periods of peak demand (e.g., extra inspection staffing). This action supports the City Council Priorities of economic development and public safety by preserving the City’s ability to move development applications forward in a timely manner while ensuring we maintain the quality of life and safety of the built environment. Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute master service agreements with the consultants described in this report and listed in the Recommendation section.

Discussion/Analysis: In September 2025, Community Development released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on BidNet Direct (the City’s web based on-line bidding service) for on-call consultant services that support land use and development permit processing. These consultants provide services that staff do not have expertise to provide or provide supplemental staffing during periods of peak demand. These agreements are intended to support all on-call consultant service needs for the next five years.

Eighteen firms submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), each representing the range of on-call services required to support land use and development permit processing requests in Fremont. All respondents were determined to be qualified to provide their technical specialty, and the combination of all of these consultants provides adequate breadth of support to meet the City’s land use and development permit processing needs.

However, one of these vendors has an active on-call agreement with the City to provide the same services, so it has been removed from this new list.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5723) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:20 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 Through the RFQ evaluation process, consultants are evaluated based on their experience in their technical fields, similar experience in other jurisdictions, reputation/references, knowledge of City and legal processes and requirements, and agreeability with City contracting requirements.

The majority of work completed by the on-call consultants will be funded directly by the private party applicants requesting a planning entitlement or building permit. To a lesser extent, these firms may support project work on City-initiated projects (e.g., technical fee study). Master Service Agreement (MSA) terms and not-to-exceed maximum dollar amounts are based on the volume of past use of these specialties, with an understanding that development activity is variable. The MSA/Task Order process constrains rate increases over time, provides for timely consultant responses in compliance with the purchasing ordinance, and builds consultant familiarity with the city’s policies to further streamline reviews.

The firms that submitted an SOQ are listed below under the technical specialty for which they are qualified to provide on-call consultant services.

• Full-Service Planning Firms: Full-service planning firms provide a broad range of services such as environmental analysis [California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)/National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) including the individual technical subjects], land use/community planning, community outreach, historic resource analysis, and project management services. The following full-service firms are qualified to provide service in Fremont:
o Good City Company
o PlaceWorks, Inc.
o Urban Planning Partners, Inc.

• Environmental Services: Environmental service firms provide a range of technical analysis when required by requests for development entitlements and permits. These services include analysis required under CEQA, NEPA, and the Fremont Municipal Code.
o Circle Point
o David J. Powers
o Triple HS (dba HT Harvey & Associates)
o Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc.
o Lamphier-Gregory
o SLR International Corporation

Packet Pg. 14
Council Staff Report (ID # 5723) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:20 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 3 • Historic Services: Historic resource firms provide a range of services related to establishment of and/or modification to existing historic resources. These include analysis required under State and federal law, and the Fremont Municipal Code, as well as assistance in determining if proposed modifications to historic resources are compatible (as required under law).
o Architectural Resources Group, Inc.
o Galvin Preservation Associates, Inc. (dba GPA Consulting) o Page & Turnbull, Inc.

• Economic and Fiscal Services: Economic and fiscal firms typically provide analysis on City-initiated projects, such as the affordable housing ordinance and development impact fee nexus studies, and also review the financial impacts of commercial and industrial General Plan Amendments.
o BAE Urban Economics, Inc.

• Building, Fire, and Hazardous Materials Code Plan Review and Inspection Services: The firms below provide on-call services during periods of peak demand when there are more requests for plan review and building inspections than City staff can support. The hazardous materials plan review and inspection services are wholly outsourced due to the uniqueness of the specialty; no staff position contains the expertise required to do this work.
o 4LEAF, Inc.
o CSG Consultants, Inc.
o Forster Consulting Services
o Urban37, Inc.

Fiscal Impact: The majority of on-call work to be completed by these consultants will be funded directly by the private party requesting a land use entitlement or building permit. As necessary, these consultants may also complete on-call work for City-initiated projects (e.g., fee updates, land use planning, public works projects). Under these circumstances, the consultant work is funded by the approved project budget.

Environmental Review: Environmental review is not required as the master service agreement(s) are exempt and not a project pursuant to, without limitation, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2), (4) and/or (5). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that authorization of the agreement(s)

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5757) DOC ID: 5757
Updated: 7/10/2026 9:24 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 General Obligation Bonds Tax Rate for FY 2026/27 - Adopt a Resolution Setting the Annual Tax Rate for Voter-Approved General Obligation Bonds Debt Service for Fiscal Year 2026/27 and Authorizing the County of Alameda to Collect and Enforce the Levy on Behalf of the City

Executive Summary: In November 2002, Fremont voters approved Measure R, which authorized the City to issue $51,000,000 of general obligation bonds to fund fire station modernization and construction of other public safety projects. The City is obligated to annually levy ad valorem taxes upon all taxable properties within the City for the payment of the principal and interest for these bonds. This report recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to establish the Fiscal Year 2026/27 tax rate at $0.0032 per $100 of assessed valuation (0.0032%) and request and authorize the County of Alameda to levy the tax at this rate on all taxable property within the City of Fremont.

Background: At the City’s municipal general election held on November 5, 2002, voters approved Measure R authorizing the issuance of Fire Safety Project General Obligation Bonds in the not-to-exceed amount of $51,000,000 and an override property tax to pay debt service on the bonds.

The California Constitution permits the voters to approve such taxes that override the general “1% of full cash value” limit on ad valorem property taxes to pay debt service on indebtedness used to acquire or improve real property. Measure R specified that the Fire Safety Project General Obligation Bonds proceeds be used to replace three older fire stations with new modern stations, to construct public safety training facilities, and to remodel and upgrade seven existing fire stations to current earthquake standards.

Three bond series totaling $51,000,000 have been issued: Series A for $10,000,000 on July 17, 2003, Series B for $25,000,000 on April 14, 2005, and Series C for $16,000,000 on February 11, 2009. The Series A, Series B, and Series C bond proceeds are now completely spent.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5757) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:24 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 The Series A Bonds were subsequently refunded on May 10, 2012, resulting in net present value savings of $923,368. The Series B Bonds were refunded on August 9, 2013, resulting in net present value savings of $1,694,239. The Series C Bonds were refunded on August 23, 2017, resulting in net present value savings of $3,023,539. The 2012 General Obligation Refunding Bonds and 2013 General Obligation Refunding Bonds were refunded on July 29, 2021, resulting in net present value savings of $4,057,000. The savings will be passed along to the property owners through a decrease in the override tax levy needed to repay the bonds. Debt service payments on the bonds are due each year on February 1 and August 1.

The override tax levy applies to both secured and unsecured property and supplements the regular 1% property tax that pays for general city services.

Each year, the Council sets the override tax rate to generate the taxes needed to service the bond principal and interest payments coming due in the next year, as well as the associated paying agent fees for The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., and the property tax administration fee paid to the County of Alameda.

Discussion/Analysis: The override tax rate on secured and utility property is calculated by spreading the net tax levy over the value of the secured and utility assessment roll and rounding up to four decimals. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2905 specifies that the tax rate on unsecured property is the prior year’s secured tax rate (0.0032%). An adjustment to the secured tax roll to account for anticipated delinquencies of 4.5% is based on the City’s historical experience.

The detailed tax rate calculations are summarized below.

Description Assessed Value Tax Rate Amount
Debt service due 2/1/2027 and 8/1/2027 $2,645,600
County administration fee 6,614
Paying agent fees 1,500
Gross tax levy 2,653,714

Residual prior year tax collections (175,446)
Unsecured tax roll $ 6,387,277,528 0.0032% (204,393)
Net tax levy 2,273,875

Adjusted secured and utility tax roll $72,343,475,753 0.0032% $2,314,991

Fiscal Impact: This action will result in the collection of approximately $2,314,991 in secured property tax revenue which, when combined with

Council Staff Report (ID # 5757) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:24 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 3 $175,446 of residual prior year tax collections and approximately $204,393 of unsecured property tax revenue, will be sufficient to pay debt service due on the Fire Safety Project General Obligation Bonds in February and August 2027, paying agent fees, and the County’s annual administration fee.

By adopting the proposed resolution, the City Council authorizes the County of Alameda to levy and collect the override tax in addition to the regular 1% ad valorem tax and any other voter-approved override taxes. The taxes for the Fire Safety Project General Obligation Bonds will be billed on the regular property tax bills sent to property owners.

For a single-family home with a net assessed value of $500,000 the tax levy for the Fire Safety Project General Obligation Bonds will be $16.00 for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Environmental Review: Action on this item represents a fiscal, organizational, and/or administrative governmental activity that will not result in physical changes in the environment. Therefore, it is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

Executive Summary: The purpose of this staff report is to authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) for continued partnership in the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The program enhances school safety and helps to sustain a positive learning environment. The Police Department will continue to provide one police officer for each of the six FUSD high schools within the City of Fremont. FUSD will provide office space, furnishings and a telephone line for each officer. The cost of the program will be jointly shared by the City of Fremont and FUSD. On June 24, 2026, the SRO MOU was approved by the FUSD Board during their scheduled Board Meeting.

Background: FUSD and the City of Fremont Police Department have a longstanding partnership focused on providing a safe and secure learning environment. Several decades ago, the SRO Program was established. In addition to providing a safe learning environment, the goal of the SRO Program is to provide valuable resources to school staff members, foster positive relationships with the youth in our community, and assist with developing strategies to resolve problems affecting youth. The SROs are available to respond to and assist at the junior high schools and elementary schools. Over the years, the value of the SRO Program has been demonstrated many times. SROs have provided safety training for school administrators, educated patrol officers on school related matters, responded to critical incidents at or around school campuses, provided security for school related special events (dances, athletic competitions, etc.), and engaged parents and members of the community by answering questions and providing learning seminars.

2.E
Packet Pg. 23
Council Staff Report (ID # 5776) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 3:12 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 The continued mission of the SRO Program is to ensure a safe learning environment for students, teachers, and school administrators through a cooperative partnership with FUSD. The primary duties of the SROs include:

• Liaison between the Police Department and the School District. • Investigate crimes that occur on school campuses.
• Coordinate emergency medical response and/or provide basic life support when necessary.
• Coordinate patrol familiarization training to enhance patrol response to violent incidents.
• When requested by FUSD, attend administrative meetings and conferences.
• Provide security for major sporting events, large functions, and graduation events.
• When requested by FUSD, conduct classroom instruction on prevention and education on appropriate subjects to high school students, faculty, and staff, in accordance with the SRO and Department mission statements, utilizing approved lesson plans.
• Take appropriate action for any on-campus situations requiring police attention.
• Act as a liaison and resource between the law enforcement community, other governmental agencies, and the school. • Maintain availability to all students and staff in the schools via office phone, e-mail, or other electronic medium.
• Inform the school administration of current student criminal involvement and criminal trends that may impact the safe environment of the school.
• Perform preventive patrol for students enroute to and from school.

Attention will be directed to observations pertinent to the safety and well-being of children.

SROs receive training from a California Police Officer Standards and Training approved training course as soon as practicable upon appointment. Crisis Intervention Training or its equivalent (response to persons suffering from mental health crisis) will be provided to all SROs. Every SRO will attend the Basic SRO forty-hour course hosted by the National Association of School Resource Officers. Additional job-related training will be provided as needed.

Discussion/Analysis: The SRO Program continues to be mutually beneficial for the City of Fremont Police Department and FUSD. Police officers working with youth allow for enhanced communication, understanding and

2.E

Council Staff Report (ID # 5776) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 3:12 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 3 cooperation among school administrators, police, students and members of the community.

The purpose of the MOU is to continue the SRO Program, which enhances the safe and positive learning environment within FUSD through the assignment of a Fremont Police Officer to the secondary school campuses.

The MOU contains the following provisions:

• FUSD and FPD will meet and confer on a regular basis regarding the ongoing performance of the SRO program;
• SROs will be selected by supervisors and managers of the Police Department’s SRO program, with input from a designated FUSD representative who will be part of the selection panel in an advisory capacity;
• Upon receipt of any complaint that could adversely affect the ability of an SRO to properly conduct his or her duties as an SRO, the Chief of Police or designee will review the complaint to determine if any immediate personnel action must be taken. Information provided to the Superintendent regarding the complaint will be in accordance with sections 832.5 and 832.7 of the California Penal Code, and with the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act;
• FUSD shall have the right to request, after consultation and collaboration with FPD, that an SRO be removed from their specific assignment; and
• Annual performance evaluations will be conducted by SRO supervisors and managers. School administrators may submit comments to be included in the performance evaluations.

The term of the MOU shall begin July 1, 2026, and end on June 30, 2029.

Either party may terminate the agreement at their own convenience upon 30-day notice to the other party. FUSD will provide office space and furnishings, including an assigned telephone extension for each SRO.

In addition to the MOU, guidelines for operations have been established in the SRO Handbook, which was created with input and cooperation between the Police Department and FUSD. The SROs will also adhere to FPD’s School Resource Officer Program Policy and all applicable laws and procedures.

Fiscal Impact: The agreement between FUSD and the City of Fremont for the SRO Program will authorize the City to provide police officers at the local high schools. The cost of the program is to be jointly shared by the City and

Council Staff Report (ID # 5776) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 3:12 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 4 FUSD. FUSD will pay one-half of the annual operational costs of the provided SRO police officers’ salaries and benefits.

The MOU was developed prior to completion of labor negotiation. At that time, the parties estimated the following costs:

FY 2026/27 FY 2027/28 FY 2028/29

City of Fremont $1,185,657 $1,244,940 $1,307,187

FUSD $1,185,657 $1,244,940 $1,307,187

The actual costs to FUSD will reflect the approved labor agreement with the Fremont Police Association.

Environmental Review: The proposed action is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15379(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5) and as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

A. Limited "School Official" Designation: The Parties agree that an SRO shall only be deemed a “school official” under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and California Education Code Section 49076 when performing an authorized, safety-related function explicitly outlined in this Agreement.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5767) DOC ID: 5767
Updated: 7/10/2026 9:26 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 Purchase of Trash Can Liners - Approval of Multi-Year Purchase Order with Unipak Corporation in an Amount Not to Exceed $55,000 Annually for the Purchase of Trash Can Liners

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate the purchase of trash can liners to support the operations of the City of Fremont (City) parks and public facilities.

Background: To support service levels throughout the City’s park system and maintain effective waste management collection, recycling, and disposal efforts, the purchase of trash can liners is necessary. Trash can liners are a routine operational supply that supports the daily maintenance and cleanliness of parks, public spaces, and related facilities.

Discussion/Analysis: A Request for Proposals (RFP) Bid #26-031 opened on May 29, 2026, and closed June 9, 2026. The City received seven proposals for trash can liner supplies: DJ International, Wardley Industrial, Bravo 3 Partners, Universal Business Services, Nitsom Promotional, Precision Diagnostics, and Unipak Corporation. Each vendor’s bid totals were evaluated based on pricing and availability. Based on the evaluation, staff recommend awarding a purchase order in the amount of $55,000 annually to Unipak Corporation for the purchase of trash can liners.

Staff anticipates that $55,000 annually provides sufficient funding to cover the cost of trash can liners and provides for incremental cost increases for the course of the seven-year term through June 30, 2033.

Fiscal Impact: The amount of the Purchase Order is $55,000 annually with an amount not to exceed $385,000 for the seven years. There is sufficient funding in the Maintenance Operations General Fund (Fund 001) budget to cover this cost.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5768) DOC ID: 5768 A
Updated: 7/10/2026 9:27 AM by Alberto Quintanilla A Page 1 Social Services for Older Adults - Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Amend Agreements with Alameda County Social Services Agency to Provide Services to Older Adults and Appropriate Funding for FY 2026/27 Contact Persons:

Name: Levon Gibson Arquimides Caldera
Title: Family Services Administrator Human Services Director Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: (510) 574-2062 510-574-2056
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The City’s Human Services (HS) Department partners with the Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA) to deliver critical services to older adults in the Tri-City area. In 2026, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved extending and increasing funding through December 2026 for two existing City agreements —Family Caregiver Support and Case Management. The older adult services provided by the City under these agreements align with the domains of Health and Wellness, Housing, and Dementia-Related Support outlined in the Age-Friendly Fremont Action Plan Update 2025.

To accept this additional funding, City staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute amendments to the City’s two current agreements with the ACSSA, to revise the FY 2026/27 budgets and increase the not-to-exceed amounts as follows:
• For Family Caregiver Support, from $569,235 to $664,108. • For Case Management, from $332,046 to 451,914.

Staff also recommend that the City Council increase the revenue estimates and appropriate additional funding in the Area Agency on Aging Fund and the Adult and Family Services Fund to reflect the increase in funding being received from ACSSA.

BACKGROUND: ACSSA has historically contracted with the City to provide key services to older adults, including:

1. Family Caregiver Support Services – assisting individuals by providing care to aging adults.

2.G
Packet Pg. 39
Council Staff Report (ID # 5768) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:27 AM by Alberto Quintanilla A Page 2

2. Case Management Services – assessments, care planning, and ongoing support for older adults needing help maintaining stability and independence.

The City is currently in the final year of three-year agreements with ACSSA for FY 2023/24–FY 2025/26. Because of delays in ACSSA’s countywide procurement cycle, ACSSA elected to extend funding for two of the four City-held social service contracts through December 2026, with updated FY 2026/27 budgets.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The City is currently in the final year of three- year agreements with ACSSA covering FY 2023/24, FY 2024/25, and FY 2025/26. To seek funding to continue providing these services to older adults, the HS Department has completed proposal packets to receive funding from ACSSA for the next contract cycle (through FY 2029/30).

Services provided under the City’s agreements with ACSSA align with the domains of Health and Wellness, Housing, and Dementia-Related Support found in the Age-Friendly Fremont Action Plan Update 2025.

Due to delays in the award process, ACSSA is amending FY 2025/26 contracts for two of the four agreements with the City for older adult services to extend services through December 2026 and to revise the FY 2026/27 budget and increase the not-to-exceed amounts under the agreements by the following amounts:
• For Family Caregiver Support, from $569,235 to $664,108. • For Case Management, from $332,046 to $451,914.

Staff recommend the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend the two current agreements with ACSSA to accept additional funding to provide continuing services to older adults.

FISCAL IMPACT: In anticipation of providing older adult services under the current agreements with ACSSA, the City Council appropriated amounts for these programs in the FY 2026/27 Adopted Operating Budget. The compensation received under these ACSSA agreements offsets the costs associated with HSD staff providing the contracted services.

The FY 2026/27 appropriation for the Family Caregiver Support Program in the Area Agency on Aging Fund (Fund 173) is sufficient to accommodate the amended agreement. In addition, Staff recommend that the City Council increase the revenue estimate and expenditure appropriations by $9,186 for

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed amendments to existing agreements are exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, neither are a “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2), 15378(b)(5), and/or 15378(b)(5), and/or the actions have no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment, as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to amend two agreements with the Alameda County Social Services Agency to extend the terms through December 31, 2026, revise the FY 2026/27 budgets for older adult services, and increase the not-to-exceed amounts for each agreement as follows:
a. For Family Caregiver Support, from $569,235 to 664,108. b. For Case Management, from $332,046 to $451,914.

2. Increase the revenue estimate and appropriate an additional $9,186 to the AFS City Partners, AFS OASS Case Management (Fund 106).

Updated: 7/10/2026 9:29 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services Agreement - Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Enter into a Services Agreement with Abode Services for the City to Provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services; and Appropriate Additional Funds.

Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: 510-574-2004 510-574-2056
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to recommend, consistent with the Homeless Response Plan, that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a services agreement, in an amount not to exceed $512,252, with Abode Services for the provision of Access Point and Housing Resource Center services for individuals who are at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness. Staff also recommend the City Council appropriate an additional $200,438 in the Alameda County Health Fund to reflect the final not to exceed amount for this agreement.

BACKGROUND: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates local jurisdictions, including Alameda County, adopt a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to coordinate and prioritize access to homeless services and permanent supportive housing units.

From 2018 through 2020, Alameda County Health (ACH) contracted with Abode Services (Abode) as the South County regional Housing Resource Center (HRC) and Access Point to provide CES services. Abode subcontracted with the City, through the Human Services Department’s Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC) to provide drop-in services.

In 2021, ACH began contracting directly with the City as a second regional HRC and Access Point site. In FY 2024/25, the FRC enrolled 248 new households in coordinated entry and completed 180 crisis assessments and 282 housing needs assessments. FRC Access Point services are augmented through partnerships with local agencies, including:

Council Staff Report (ID # 5770) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:29 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 • Ohlone Career Center – resume support and employment coaching • Bay Area Legal Aid – benefits advocacy, eviction prevention assistance, and re-entry support
• Swords to Plowshares – supportive housing services for veterans • SAVE – services for survivors of domestic violence
• Bay Area Community Health – on-site health services

In spring 2026, utilizing Measure W funds, ACH issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a single regional provider for southern Alameda County to deliver expanded Access Point and Housing Resource Center services beginning in FY 2026/27, including 32 hours of weekly drop-in services and the following activities:
a. Homelessness Prevention
b. Housing Problem Solving (HPS)
c. Coordinated Entry Access and Assessment
d. Targeted Outreach
e. Referrals to Community-Based Services
f. Housing Education, Counseling, and Housing-Related Resources g. Employment and Workforce Resources
h. Healthcare Referrals and Linkages

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Alameda County has selected Abode to serve as the South County region lead provider, with the City as a subcontractor. The City’s proposed $512,252 agreement with Abode enables both organizations to meet the full Access Point service requirements while maintaining the FRC as a designated Access Point site.

The Access Point and Housing Resource Center agreement aligns with the City’s Homeless Response Plan, most importantly in the area of homelessness prevention (Strategy 1) . The agreement will fund part of a homelessness prevention Case Manager, as well as $118,560 in rental assistance to leverage existing prevention tools, such as the Keep Fremont Housed program, targeting households at highest risk of becoming homeless.

It also aligns with Strategy 3: Connect People to Shelter, Housing, and Other Resources. The City will continue to provide four hours of weekly drop-in services at the FRC, which is well positioned in the community to deliver these services. The agreement will also fund outreach and case management staff, which will provide housing problem solving, crisis, and coordinated

Aligned with County CES standards, the agreement establishes targets of serving between 123 and 186 households, prioritizing adults with children. It also includes performance measures for enrollment assessments, data quality, and timely housing problem-solving interventions.

FISCAL IMPACT: In anticipation of this agreement, the City Council appropriated $311,814 as part of the FY 2026/27 Adopted Operating Budget.

Staff recommends the City Council appropriate an additional $200,438 in the OHCC Account of the Alameda County Health Fund (Fund 179).

Additional FY 2026/27 Appropriation Recommendation

Description Amount
Access Point Contract Amount $512,252
Less Current Appropriation in Fund 179 (311,814)
Recommended Additional Appropriation $200,438

This agreement will not impact the City’s General Fund and covers staff time and administrative overhead associated with the program.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed agreement is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5), and/or because it has no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment, as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATION:

2. Increase revenue estimate and appropriate an additional $200,438 for these services in the Alameda County Health Fund (Fund 179).

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5774) DOC ID: 5774
Updated: 7/10/2026 9:30 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 On-Call Financial Analysis Consultant Services – Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute a Master Service Agreement with Mosaic Urban Development, LLC to Support Affordable Housing Financial Analysis Services for the Next Five Years
Contact Persons:

Name: Lucia Hughes Joel Pullen
Title: Housing Manager Community Development Director
Div/Dept: Housing Community Development
Phone: 510-494-4506 510-494-4436
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The Community Development Department utilizes a number of on-call consulting services to support land use, fiscal, real estate and development-related services. On-call consultants provide expertise that supplements staff skills (e.g. financial analysis for affordable housing developments) or staffing during periods of peak demand. Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a master service agreement with the consultant recommended in this report.

Background: The City of Fremont has a robust affordable housing program funded primarily from fees paid by market rate housing developers and former redevelopment agency funds. From time to time the City issues a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the development of affordable housing, most recently in 2023, for new construction or rehabilitation of market rate projects for the purpose of creating new affordable rental housing for extremely-low, very-low, and low-income households of no more than 80% of area median income. In addition to projects funded by the City, there are also occasional re-syndications or refinancing of existing affordable housing developments. As a result, the City has a significant and ongoing pipeline of affordable housing projects that require detailed financial analysis. Consultants under a Master Service Agreement will provide such services on an on-call basis, via an authorized Task Order, when services are needed.

Discussion/Analysis: On May 28, 2026, the Housing Division of the Community Development Department issued a solicitation in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance: Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for on-call consultant services that support affordable housing financial analysis.

The affordable financing landscape is complex and constantly evolving. As a

2.I
Packet Pg. 45
Council Staff Report (ID # 5774) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:30 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 result, the Housing Division requires specialized knowledge that staff does not have the expertise to provide. Three firms submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) in response to the RFQ and were determined qualified.

Based on an evaluation of the SOQs, staff is recommending that the City enter into an agreement with Mosaic Urban Development, LLC. (Mosaic).

Housing staff has consistently experienced excellent satisfaction in previous collaboration with Mosaic team. Mosaic has over twenty years of experience in all aspects of affordable housing finance, including analysis of project underwriting, portfolio restructuring, and regulatory compliance. Mosaic is a local firm with an extensive clientele throughout the Bay Area and beyond, ensuring familiarity with regional needs and regulations. . Furthermore, Mosaic agreed to all of the City’s standard contract terms and that Mosaic’s billing rates are reasonable when compared to all qualified responders.

The majority of the work performed by the on-call consultant will be funded directly by the party requesting approval from the City. This includes situations where approval is sought for changes to a previously approved financing plan, or for requests involving resyndication, refinancing, or loan restructuring, etc. Additionally, the consultant will evaluate proposals submitted under an Affordable Housing NOFA. In these cases, compensation for their services will come from the Affordable Housing Fund 196 (in-lieu fees paid by market-rate developers).

Staff recommends that the City enter into a Master Professional Services Agreement with Mosaic Urban Development, LLC, for affordable housing financial analysis services for a term of five years in an amount not to exceed $500,000.

Fiscal Impact: Much of the on-call work to be completed by the consultant will be funded directly by the party requesting affordable housing financing from the City, or by the Affordable Housing Fund 196.

Environmental Review: Environmental review is not required as the master service agreement(s) are exempt and not a project pursuant to, without limitation, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2), (4) and/or (5) It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that authorization of the agreement(s) will have a significant effect on the physical environment. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA exemption.

The five projects strongly support the safety, mobility, and transit-priority goals identified in the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP), the Countywide ATP, and the Bay Area Regional ATP, and they will help support planned development and economic growth in these areas of Fremont.

Background: ACTC is responsible for the planning, funding, and delivery of Measure BB and regionally funded transportation projects and programs within Alameda County. ACTC maintains a Comprehensive Investment Plan (CIP), through which fund sources administered by ACTC are programmed to address transportation infrastructure and program operations needs that support the on-going development, enhancement, and maintenance of

Council Staff Report (ID # 5777) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:19 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 multi-modal transportation infrastructure and systems in Alameda County.

ACTC updates the CIP every two years, and should there be new funding capacity through the various ACTC administered fund sources, ACTC releases a call for projects to Alameda County agencies to identify new projects that will be incorporated into the CIP update. For the 2028 CIP update, ACTC identified $200 million in new countywide Measure BB, regional, and federal transportation funding for the call for projects.

Eligible project categories for the 2028 CIP Call for Projects include 1) bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects, 2) technology-based transportation improvement projects, 3) regional trail capital projects, 4) safe routes to school improvement projects, and 5) transit-related capital projects. Agencies are limited to a maximum of five project applications, four applications for the general “call for projects” and one application for the “Safe Routes to School” call for projects. Funding priority is typically given to eligible projects that are “shovel ready” to start construction, enhance connectivity and gap closures on ACTC’s Countywide Active Transportation Network, address safety on the County’s High Injury Network, and benefit regionally identified disadvantaged communities. Projects that have secured additional funds from alternative fund sources are also rated positively by ACTC staff.

Discussion/Analysis: As a requirement for grant application submittals for the 2028 ACTC CIP Call for Projects, the City is required to adopt a Resolution of Local Support for each project application to confirm the City’s ability to meet ACTC CIP requirements and the City’s commitment to provide the necessary staff and matching funds to successfully implement the project if the project application is selected for funding award.

The following is a summary of the five projects (including the respective project scopes) that staff is proposing to submit for the 2028 ACTC CIP Call for Projects. All five projects are currently under design utilizing awarded grants or previously approved project budget appropriated in the City’s CIP.

The projects can be under construction in early 2028 if project construction funding can be secured.

1) Centerville Equity Priority Community Safe and Smart Corridor Project – The project will upgrade existing traffic signals along Thornton Avenue at Cabrillo Drive and Contra Costa Avenue intersections (not part of the Centerville Complete Street Project currently under construction), install fiber-optic communication infrastructure along

Council Staff Report (ID # 5777) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:19 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 3 Thornton Avenue, install rail-crossing safety and preemption improvements at the Fremont Boulevard/UPRR rail crossing, and upgrade the existing sidewalk, bikeway, and traffic signal around the Fremont Boulevard/Peralta Boulevard intersection. The project will allow for enhanced signal operation and improved traffic flow along Thornton Avenue and safer rail crossings along Fremont Boulevard adjacent to the Centerville Train Station.
2) Fremont Boulevard Active Transportation Improvement (Nicolet Avenue to Alder Avenue) Project – The project will replace the existing quick-build bikeway along the east side of Fremont Boulevard between Nicolet Avenue and the front of American High School with a permanent concrete median separated two-way bikeway. The project will also replace the existing temporary bus boarding platform with a concrete bus boarding island, extend the two-way separated bikeway to Alder Drive intersection, and upgrade existing crossings and traffic signals at Nicolet Avenue, Gibraltar Drive, and Alder Avenue intersections. The project has a direct safe route to school benefit for students living in the Centerville District, as the project segment is part of identified walking and biking routes to Brookvale Elementary School, Oliveira Elementary School, Thornton Middle School, and American High School. This application is being submitted under the “safe routes to school” call for projects.
3) Dumbarton to Quarry Lakes Trail – Segment A Project – The project will construct a Class I trail facility along the Dumbarton Corridor, extending from the existing State Route 84 toll plaza, along the north side of Quarry Road, along the west side of Paseo Padre Parkway, along the south side of Kaiser Drive, and along the west side of Ardenwood Boulevard to the Ardenwood Boulevard/Ardenwood Terrace intersection in front of Ardenwood Historical Farm. To date, the City has secured approximately $9.7 million in Regional Measure 3 funds towards the project construction.
4) Dumbarton to Quarry Lakes Trail – Segment C (I-880/Decoto Interchange) Project – The project will widen the existing Decoto Road bridge structure over the I-880 freeway and construct a new Class I trail along the north side of the interchange. The new trail will connect to the existing trail on the west side of the interchange (which leads into the Ardenwood Historical Farm) and Decoto Road on the east side of the interchange. To date, the City has secured $21.2 million in Federal transportation and Regional Measure 3 funds for the project construction.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5777) Meeting of July 14, 2026 Updated: 7/10/2026 9:19 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 4 5) East Bay Greenway Regional Trail (Irvington BART to Fremont BART) Project – The project will construct a portion of the planned East Bay Greenway Regional Trail segment between the future Irvington BART Station site and the Fremont Downtown BART Station, utilizing the existing trail along the west side of the BART tracks between Irvington Town Center and Central Park, and along Paseo Padre Parkway, Stevenson Boulevard, and Civic Center Drive. There are over 1,300 existing or planned affordable housing units around the Irvington BART Station Area, and the project will provide the necessary trail connection to allow current and future affordable housing residents to safely and comfortably walk or bike to various regional transit, commercial shopping, and other destinations of interest in the Downtown area.

Staff finds that the five projects are consistent with the overall goals, policies, and guidelines established by ACTC for the 2028 CIP Call for Projects, and they should be highly competitive for funding. The five projects are also on ACTC’s 10-year priority project implementation list.

Fiscal Impact: The City is submitting for ACTC consideration five programming requests totaling $28.75 million for construction phase of the five projects, specifically $3 million for the Dumbarton to Quarry Lakes Trail – Segment A Project, $10 million for the Dumbarton to Quarry Lakes Trail – Segment C (I-880/Decoto Interchange) Project, $10 million for the Centerville Equity Priority Community Safe and Smart Corridor Project, $750,000 for the Fremont Boulevard Active Transportation Improvements (Nicolet Avenue to Alder Avenue) Project, and $5 million for the East Bay Greenway Regional Trail (Irvington BART to Fremont BART) Project. While there is no fiscal impact directly related to the submittal of the five grant applications, the ACTC CIP Call for Project guidelines require a minimum 25% matching funds. Previously secured grants or local funds to be programmed can be utilized for matching funds. Should any of the City grant applications be awarded for ACTC CIP funding, staff will identify and program funds for local match as well as for City staff time through the City’s upcoming CIP update for FY 2027/28 – 2031/32 for any project that is selected.

Environmental Review: The submittal of grant applications for the 2028 ACTC CIP Call for Project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b) as it can be seen with certainty that these

The project will undergo environmental review in compliance with CEQA during the respective project design phase.
