GTrans Micro Transit Branding Proposal
Prepared by Pulsar
March 9, 2023
GTrans is preparing to introduce an on-demand transit service to serve the City of Gardena and seeking brand development and design. This new on-demand service will be combined with the existing paratransit service currently named Special Transit. The fleet will include a total of 8 vehicles using 3 different models.

Our Approach
Pulsar understands that branding is a crucial aspect of any transit service. As part of our commitment to ensuring that this new service stands out in the market, we will use our comprehensive brand development process.

Our process is designed to ensure that we create a brand that captures the essence of your transit service and resonates with your target audience. Here’s a brief overview:

1. Kickoff Meeting: Given that Pulsar and GTrans have an extensive history, we’ll build on all we already know about GTrans' service, staff, service areas, and goals. The first step in our process is to build on that understanding of this new service. We will work closely with you to identify your unique selling proposition, target audience, and the key features and benefits of your service. This information will help us develop a brand that accurately represents the service and appeals to your target audiences.

2. Creative Brief: We’ll use this tool to assemble the information we collect from the kickoff meeting. We'll also take into account any specific requirements or preferences you have.

Once we have a draft of the creative brief, we'll present it to you for review and feedback. We'll work with you to revise the brief until it accurately reflects your vision for the service branding. The creative brief is an important document that guides the entire conceptual and production process, so we want to make sure we get it right. We won’t proceed with logo development until we agree that all of the important aspects of this effort have been included.

3. Name, Logo, Livery Concepting: The visual identity of the new service is an essential part of the brand. We will work with you to capture the essence of the service and appeal to your target audiences. This can be both the most fun and most challenging part of the branding process!
GTrans Micro Transit Branding + Video Proposal Page 1 of 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: AE638C9A-233D-43B8-B63D-941AA1616714

4. Design Execution and Refinement: Once we’ve narrowed the field down to your favorites, we’ll take your preferred 2-3 options and further tweak per our discussion of the brand goals and how each name and livery design fits the service. We’ll meet again to review and select one that fits best. We will then apply to all three vehicle models. We will need vector files of vehicle schematics from each vehicle manufacturer.

Typically the vehicle schematic needs to be repurposed/redrawn to apply digital artwork for each vehicle. Once livery design is complete, we will provide designs with call-outs (colors, fonts, measurements) for each vehicle. We will coordinate and consult with the livery application vendor as needed.

5. Additional Elements: Once the branding is complete, we will develop social graphics and an interior card for general marketing.

Scope of Work Includes:

Brand Design of Micro Transit vehicles to include:
● Name/Logo Design Concepts
● Redrawing schematics for design application (3 models) ● Livery Design (3 vehicle models)
● Coordination with livery vendor
● Photoshoot of newly designed vehicles (360 degree photos of each of the 3 vehicle models) to be used for marketing and communications
● Flag/Stop Signage Design – two versions: 1) Bus Stop 2) Non-bus stop signage ● Updated Brand Guidelines, possible secondary color palette ● Graphic design and copy for interior card in English and Spanish* ● Development assets for Facebook and Instagram use*
*These elements do not include campaign concept or development; social media graphics and interior card components will be graphic design-based. We assume these components will include hi-res photos of the completed designed vehicle(s).

Deliverables Include:
● Creative Brief for client input/approval
● Name concepts; 2 rounds of revisions
● Vehicle Concepts for review/selection
● Narrowed down livery design revisions; 2 rounds
● Flag/Signage Design
● Application of livery design to 3 vehicle models
● Livery and signage production final files
● Updated Brand Guidelines
● Social media post graphics (does not include copy)
● Interior card production files (English and Spanish)

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 18.B
Section: DEPARTMENTAL

ITEMS - TRANSPORTATION
Meeting Date: April 25, 2023
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Approve Contract with Anser Advisory for Owners Representative Services in the Amount of $289,960 and a project total of $362,450 COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation: Approve Contract
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

As part of the Fleet Plan approved by the City Council in February 2017, GTrans is pursuing a mixed fleet of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electric buses. As part of the plan, GTrans is in the final stages of constructing a CNG fueling station and has been in the planning stages for an electric charging station. The charging station will be accompanied by an expansion of solar panels and battery storage help reduce reliance on the energy grid and offset energy costs during peak periods.

In support of its Solar Energy Generation / Bus Fueling Infrastructure Project, GTrans determined a need for technical expertise, guidance and project management assistance for its complex projects. The Owners Representative will also assist with developing the appropriate procurement solicitation documents for each component of the project, and coordination with Southern California Edison (SCE) on the ChargeReady program through which the charging station will be constructed. GTrans issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in January 2023 from qualified firms to provide Owners Representative Services. The RFP was advertised using PlanetBids, which notified 388 firms, including 66 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), 72 Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and 41 Women Business Enterprises (WBE). In addition, the solicitation was advertised in the Daily Breeze, Gardena Valley News (GVN), Transit Talent, several transit professional organizations, and over 80 minority and small businesses and professional organizations.

Following a pre-proposal meeting and job walk, five proposals were received from qualified firms: Anser Advisory, Burns Engineering, MARRS Services, The LeFlore Group, and TY Lin International. The proposals were evaluated based on qualifications of the firm, qualifications of key personnel and past experience, work plan, and cost. Following a comprehensive review of the proposals and reference checks, Anser Advisory received the highest score. Anser's proposal was the lowest cost, and following an analysis, GTrans determined their proposal to be fair and reasonable. In addition to their impressive qualifications and proposed work plan, Anser Advisory had significant experience working with Southern California Edison, which is directly related to GTrans’ project.

This contract will be done on a time and materials basis, at a contract cost not to exceed $289,960. GTrans is requesting a project contingency of 25 percent, or an additional $72,490 to accommodate any unforeseen expenditures that may arise. Such expenditures would not be allowed unless agreed upon and approved in advance by GTrans management. GTrans respectfully recommends that the City Council approve an award of a contract to Anser Advisory in the amount of $289,960, and a program total not to exceed $362,450, which includes a 25 percent contingency.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:

GTrans has eligible eligible funding within the FY23 and FY24 approved capital budgets for this project. There is no impact to the General Fund.

YEARS OF BUSINESS

Consulting, LLC)
26 (Previously as Simplus)
Anser Advisory Consulting, LLC dba Anser Advisory (Anser) is a national program management, project/construction management and engineering consulting firm with 30 years of experience managing projects for public agencies in Southern California. Anser offers a broad range of services from strategic management consulting, enterprise transformations, program definition and funding, to the tactical execution, management, and closeout of individual projects. We operate nationally, with a diverse, talented staff of over 1,200 professionals; however, we leverage our local offices to support Southern California clients, including offices located in Santa Ana (main office), Glendale, San Diego, and Palm Desert, possessing over 185 employees including project managers, construction managers, technical advisors, energy engineers, resident engineers, professional engineers, inspectors, schedulers, cost estimators, architects, management consultants, financial analysis, procurement specialists, system configuration specialists, and construction auditors. Currently, Engineering News Record (ENR) ranks Anser as Number 15 in the Top National 50 Program Management Firms and Number 20 in the Top National 100 Construction Management Firms. In less than two years, Anser has evolved into one of the top program and construction management providers in the U.S., having performed over $40 billion in capital program management nationwide. Our success stems from out- of-the-box thinking and celebrating team collaboration in identifying innovative solutions to project delivery. We are committed to partnering with GTrans to help execute complex energy projects which will reduce operating cost and your impact on surrounding communities.

KEY DIFFERENTIATORS
As the demand for clean electric power generation and transportation becomes more of a reality through regulatory reform, legislation, and technology advancements, Anser is working side by side with utility clients and public agencies to create a future that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases resiliency, and promotes the sustainability of a healthy environment. With more than 60 full-time employees supporting utilities and transit agencies, we are well positioned to assist with power generation, transmission, distribution, and end-use projects.

GTRANS EXPERIENCE
Anser has an established relationship with GTrans and was selected to provide construction management and inspection services for the installation of six electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with the infrastructure to charge up to 12 buses. The project was put on hold in June 2018 by the City of Gardena due to their application to Southern California Edison (SCE) for the Charge Ready Transit Bus Program. More recently, Anser worked with GTrans to provide project management support for the initial steps of the battery electric bus project - including coordination with MOEV, the development of conceptual layouts, and recommendations. Anser currently working as the Construction Manager / Construction Inspector for the City’s remodel of the dispatch building and reroof of the fire station. This familiarity gives our team a leg up in understanding how the City works including contacts within City Engineering and permitting as well as coordination experience with the GTrans IT team.

SCE COORDINATION
Anser has extensive experience coordinating utilities work and understands the challenges and complexities with coordinating and bringing new service to a project. We have provided services directly to SCE since 2016, including direct experience with interconnection and charge ready providing us a unique insight into their organization, procedures, personnel, and how they think and operate.

TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION
GTrans is moving towards an electric fleet and needs an owner’s representative who is aware of the unique challenges associated with this rapidly growing technology.

Our electrification experience on the SCE Charge Ready Program, SCE Fleet and Employee Charging Program, Anaheim Transportation Network Electric Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility, City of Fairfield Electrification Master Plan, Grossmont Union High School District and Chaffey College make us an ideal partner for GTrans throughout the electrification transition.

Dr. Rogozen has peer-reviewed compliance plans prepared by the construction contractor, sampling plans and laboratory reports. He has also assisted OCTA in reporting to regulatory agencies.

Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Vehicle Operation Center (EVOC) and Role-Play Training Facility, Los Angeles, CA UltraSystems Environmental Inc. (UltraSystems) prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works (LACDPW) to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other regulatory requirements for the construction and operation of the proposed Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) on a site within the Peter J. Pitchess Detention Center (PDC). The EVOC would be used for the training of entry-level and in-service officers in basic and advanced vehicle handling dynamics, and evasive driving tactics. To support the IS/MND, Dr. Rogozen prepared stand-alone technical reports on air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. He also reviewed the literature on the effects of noise on birds and estimated the exposure of birds to project noise emissions in the frequency range of their hearing. After the IS/MND was circulated, the County of Los Angeles’ counsel asked UltraSystems to prepare a “clarification document” to address changes to the IS/MND based on new information and public comments. Dr. Rogozen was responsible for producing the clarification document, writing a section on noise impacts to wildlife, and writing a justification for not recirculating the document.

Preliminary Environmental Study, Imperial Highway Traffic Signal Upgrades and Safety Enhancements Project, Downey, CA
The City of Downey proposes to upgrade traffic control infrastructure at 11 signalized intersections and institute other safety measures along Imperial Highway between Old River School Road on the west and Woodruff Avenue on the east. Dr. Rogozen prepared a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) and found that no technical studies were required by the project. UltraSystems submitted the completed PES to Caltrans Region 7 and the document was accepted.

Dogwood Road Bridge Replacement Over Central Main Canal, Imperial County California Dr. Rogozen was responsible for the air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and noise impact analyses for a CEQA initial study/mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) for a bridge replacement project near Heber, in Imperial County, California. For air quality, Dr. Rogozen performed a qualitative analysis per Imperial County Air Pollution Control District guidelines. To estimate GHG emissions, he used the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District’s Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 8.1.0, which has a land use category called “Bridge/Overpass Construction.” The noise analysis was semi-quantitative, enough to demonstrate that sensitive noise receivers were so distant that construction noise impacts would be less than significant, and that traffic noise during project operation would not change from current conditions.

Preliminary Environmental Study and Technical Studies Crosswalk Upgrades Project, Moreno Valley, CA As subcontract project manager, Dr. Rogozen helped the City of Moreno Valley with a project to improve the safety of seven school crossing intersections by installing six Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and one hybrid pedestrian crosswalk treatment (HAWK). The City has identified these sites as having a higher crash exposure than other intersections within the City. All sites currently have high-visibility crosswalk treatments, but the addition of RRFB and HAWK signals would further increase pedestrian safety. Because the project is partially federally funded, UltraSystems prepared a Caltrans Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) to assess the potential environmental impacts and required technical studies for the project. After reviewing the PES, Caltrans Region 8 determined that an Initial Site Assessment screening checklist and a formal visual impact assessment (VIA) be prepared. UltraSystems submitted the completed PES, ISA Checklist and VIA to Caltrans and the document was approved.

WORK PLAN
37 City of Gardena GTrans
Owner’s Representative Consulting Services for GTrans Modernization and Electrification Projects The Anser team stands ready with a mix of familiar faces and new expertise and tools to expertly guide GTrans through the next phases of your electric bus charging station installation and campus electrification/ solar/battery installation project. Coordination of a project of this scale and interdisciplinary complexity is not for the uninformed, and it can yield many efficiencies if installed in a coordinated fashion. Our team’s experience with similar projects and our longstanding history of performing owner’s representative work in the public sector equip us with the requisite technical and project/program management knowledge to help ensure your project is a success. We look forward to leveraging our previous work with GTrans to quickly and efficiently move your project forward.

David Lazerwitz will act as the main point of contact for this project, coordinating resources and outside expertise as needed to adequately support the City. He will be available part-time in-person at GTrans for the duration of this owner’s representative work to allow city staff to pop in, ask questions and collaborate in real time. Under David’s leadership, Anser will execute the following work plan:

TASK 1: DESIGN AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
Anser is well equipped to immediately support the City’s efforts in iterating on site use and layout recommendations. This is particularly useful in coordinating across disciplines including the impending CNG fueling station and new equipment to be installed there, the Charge Ready EV charging stations, existing facilities and new solar and battery storage. The work includes laying out various different components on the site and rearranging them into different configurations to simulate bus flow through the yard, checking for minimal impacts on bus operation, especially given there will now be three different bus fuels (gasoline, CNG and electric) buses in the mix. Component
layout is also of particular importance at this
stage in the game to ensure that infrastructure
placement is “no regrets” meaning that it can
stay in place for the entirety of its useful life,
not have to be ripped out prematurely to make
way for the next project phase. It also includes
seeking stakeholder input from site personnel to
ensure that what the project plans are agreeable
to the fleet operators. Led by David Lazerwitz,
he and Danielle Nelson will leverage the lessons
learned from a similar exercise at Anaheim
Transit Network (ATN) where Anser is acting
as owner’s representative for the construction
of an 82 bus all-electric bus depot including
supporting infrastructure.

In conjunction with the site use and layout
recommendations, Steve Clarke and Danielle
Nelson will work with GTrans to analyze the
impact to the site’s energy use with the planned
changes and the different site configurations,
as well as backup power and energy storage
recommendations. In a project like this, there will be many components contributing to fluctuations in the site’s energy use such as solar PV, EV Chargers, battery storage, and CNG Compressors. Before finalizing the details of long term capital projects such as those listed above, our team will help GTrans understand the financial and operational impacts of each change and confirm the most beneficial electrical meter interconnection locations especially with the new net energy metering (NEM 3.0) rules coming. Solar PV will be modeled in Helioscope while battery storage will be modeled with solar output in Energy Toolbase. The Anser team can also help GTrans identify the best course of action to support backup power for the site, as many of the energy storage technologies used for demand and bill reduction can also act as backup power when paired with solar PV or another generating source, perhaps even a CNG fuel cell, as the site will still have adequate CNG supply after the CNG buses are retired. 38 City of Gardena GTrans
Owner’s Representative Consulting Services for GTrans Modernization and Electrification Projects The Anser team is prepared to support GTrans through
the remainder of their Charge Ready Application,
leveraging Martin Camargo’s insight who currently
works on SCE’s Charge Ready program. Not only is
Martin actively managing over 80 projects for SCE’s
Charge Ready Program, but he is also a certified Trade
Professional trained by SCE in the specifics of the
program. This “insider knowledge” will help smooth over any wrinkles in GTrans’ application process and help both parties get what they need and want out of this makeready infrastructure incentive program. Martin has also been instrumental in leveraging his industry contacts to source major EV charging infrastructure components and
significantly reduce project lead times.

With the project details ironed out, the Anser team will help GTrans develop project specifications which will
ultimately be used in staging and sequencing of the
projects as well as incorporated into the bid documents for the design builder. A holistic understanding of all the different projects and their funding sources together will help chart the critical pathway for projects to be completed, in a complementary order, facilitating a noregrets installation order which works in tandem with known project constraints, such as utility infrastructure, funding spend deadlines, or bus arrival dates.

Initially this starts out as a high level staging and sequencing diagram which begins with major funding deadlines at the top. Then it layers on the projected eBus purchase timeline, calculates the need for charging infrastructure, load growth and then plans other project components such as solar PV, battery storage and charge management software to mitigate those loads.

Once the order of projects is established and agreed upon by all parties, then a master schedule is created which ties together the timelines of the various different projects. Anser is fluent in many different types of scheduling platforms, from Monday.com to Primavera P6 to MS Project to Procore, and looks forward to building out the master project schedule in the platform of choice for GTrans. David Lazerwitz has experience working on fleet electrification projects like for SCE’s own fleet charging solutions where the Anser team built their own virtual project office (VPO) software to properly track progress, status and accountability of a multi-year cost-loaded schedule with over 150 distinct project mobilizations across 150 sites. 39 City of Gardena GTrans
Owner’s Representative Consulting Services for GTrans Modernization and Electrification Projects Along with a project’s schedule, Anser’s extensive knowledge in project management and project controls can both anticipate and support the GTrans Construction Manager to keep this project on track. David Lazerwitz and Danielle Nelson bring direct experience managing similar projects such as ATN, developing and managing key project and payment milestones, document control procedures, project accounting procedures and suggested procurement strategies. Our team prides ourselves as being a natural extension of our client’s staff, adopting any procedures already in place and suggesting new ones to fill any potential gaps.

With a robust project management and project controls approach now solidified, as well as a procurement approach, the Anser team will help GTrans draft key project documents to put individual portions of the entire project out to bid. Collectively, Steve Clarke and David Lazerwitz have over 300MW of solar owner’s representative work experience to draw from when helping GTrans with the bid package. We know how to put a bid package together which minimizes contractor risk and helps obtain the best pricing for our clients.

We know how to put a bid package together with sufficient detail to minimize contractor uncertainty and obtain the best pricing for our clients. David’s work with Grossmont Union High School District resulted in the combination of 875 kW of Solar and EV Chargers. The work consisted of their upcoming EV school buses, using the revenue generation potential from the solar PV to offset the cost of charging infrastructure for the buses. Steve’s work with the School Project for Utility Rate Reduction (SPURR) is currently helping to craft statewide “piggybackable” RFPs for both electric vehicles and EV infrastructure for any public agency. From all these efforts, we’ll have great RFP templates to start with for further customization to GTrans’s standards.

As an important piece of the bid package, the Anser team brings subcontractor UltraSystems to help the City foresee any environmental issues associated with the project. They will develop a plan to understand and/or mitigate risk for bidding contractors. UltraSystems brings over 28 years of experience in the environmental realm, and has provided consulting services and prepared over 7,000 environmental reports, engineering studies and other technical studies for its clients to ensure applicable local, State, and federal laws and regulations are compliant as it relates to the potential impacts a project may have on the environment.

Anser’s work with ATN also helped manage a host of project development issues, including the obvious environmental issues.

From our work there, we now know to be on the lookout for and actively mitigate other potential issues such as setbacks and height restrictions, utility capacity restrictions, non-environmental permitting, ADA issues, inflationary pressures, and supply chain issues which all have potential to stop a project in its tracks.

Our team’s experience with owner’s representative work gives us a long history of assisting where needed in running public sector procurements in the energy and renewable space. The team’s experience with ATN, Fullerton College Solar PV, SPURR, and Chaffey College as their Owner’s Representative for an entire sustainability plan, including solar, batteries and EVs provides us with a wealth of knowledge in helping Public Agencies select the best contractor for their needs and doing so in a defensible manner. Our team has presented to or supported city council presentations along with our partner clients and we look forward to doing so on this project.
40 City of Gardena GTrans
Owner’s Representative Consulting Services for GTrans Modernization and Electrification Projects Anser’s previous work with GTrans gives us a leg up in understanding details of the bus yard, and some of the existing conditions at the site. We will leverage this previous understanding of the bus yard to quickly come up to speed on the latest conditions, as they are prone to change. Our existing relationships with the team will facilitate easy communication as we form a lasting partnership through the course of this project.

Additionally, we have contacts within Clean Energy, the CNG station developer, and MOEV, the vendor responsible for the CEC grant funding the intertie between the Solar PV and charge management software.

We look forward to assisting the entire team to bring together the additional EV chargers and additional solar and storage, along with the legacy systems of Aurora Vision Solar and Vericity, to achieve further operational and energy efficiencies.

Anser’s experience with the City of Gardena doesn’t end there. On our team is Jonathan Smith who is leading Anser’s Construction Management / Construction Inspection work with the City’s remodel of the dispatch building and reroof of the fire station. This familiarity gives our team a leg up in understanding how the City works including contacts within City Engineering and permitting as well as coordination experience with the GTrans IT team.

TASK 2: ESTIMATING, COST CONTROL AND EVALUATION
Due this project is being funded by a combination of grant dollars, it is more important than ever to begin the process with dialed in project cost estimates, robust cost controls and a team equipped to evaluate any requests for project dollars.

Financial expectations determine which projects are started, but only accurate cost estimates determine which are completed within budget. There is no stage more important to achieving the program’s objective than the first attempts to establish a budget. The success of a project hinges on getting the alignment of budget, scope, and quality right at the beginning of the project, as well as the maintenance of that alignment as design progresses.

Led by Andy Kleimola, our team can build accurate ground up estimates leveraging experience from $2.4 billion in cost estimates for major infrastructure projects across North America. Our Estimating team recognizes the importance of having reliable construction cost estimates before a shovel ever hits the ground. Accurate cost estimates are required to create project budgets, evaluate cost implications of numerous design decisions as design advances and to analyze the accuracy and fairness of contractor’s estimate submissions and our team’s estimates leverage experience throughout a project development lifecycle – conceptual design through construction.

Creating a construction budget allows you to prepare for potential delayed completion dates, owner modifications, unforeseen structural problems, and other hidden costs. A little time spent estimating construction costs saves a lot of time (and money) in the end. With proper planning and reliable, accurate budgeting of your projects, you eliminate these major reasons that projects fail and maximize the likelihood of project success.

In addition to the capital costs, Anser works with our clients to provide life cycle and operational costs. Our team of experts will work with your staff and design team to assess the projects life cycle costs. We understand that the initial capital investment is only part of the equation and that a lower initial cost is not necessarily the best overall value when you assess the life cycle and operational components. The life cycle and cost to operate are an important aspect of the overall financial picture of a capital project and our team is committed to providing GTrans the best overall value for their investments in their projects. 41 City of Gardena GTrans

It is critical to optimize the capital funds to be spent throughout the project life-cycle. Life-cycle cost analysis ensures the costeffectiveness of the project. Our team will assist in determining the most cost-effective option among different competing alternative to purchase, own, operate, and maintain.

As a sanity check, using data much closer to home, our team also has an entire database worth of project data from SCE’s Charge Ready program showing historical pricing data trends of EV charging infrastructure used through this make-ready program.

As pricing has been highly variable of late considering supply chain and pandemic related issues, knowing what actual projects cost can be extremely helpful in setting expectations, evaluating bids, etc. With these cost estimates in hand, Steve Clarke and David Lazerwitz will then create a funding table to ensure that all project scopes are covered by the different grants and/or local match funding. We will work with GTrans staff to evaluate the funding strategies and identify any areas of funding risk and or scope gaps.

Should any funding gaps become present due to unforeseen circumstances or factors out of the control of the project team, Anser is prepared to assist GTrans in evaluating their project objectives in alternative ways. For example, when ATN wanted to electrify their entire bus fleet by 2025, but didn’t have the capital to do so, Anser team members Adam Tobin and David Lazerwitz helped them evaluate alternative delivery arrangements, ultimately settling on a Solar + EV Charging PPA which helped cover the upfront costs associated with the EV Charging infrastructure. We also helped them apply for and win a $5M CEC Grant to cover the microgrid components associated with bringing resiliency to an all-electric bus depot. The team’s broader owner’s representative service experience also is well equipped to assist GTrans with the broader decision making process, evaluating potential project phasing and the associated cost and schedule implications.

Another key discipline in this topic area is scheduling, to ensure that project delivery timetables are aligning with the various different planning and engineering groups – within the City, SCE, and vendor’s staff. Anser prides itself in facilitating communication amongst all the different groups with a collaborative project environment and robust project scheduling and tracking. Our team has drafted a preliminary schedule based upon information provided about the project from the RFP. Please see the schedule below.

The Anser team, under David Lazerwitz, looks forward to rolling up our sleeves and leading regular project team meetings. Joined by Danielle Nelson, she and David
have developed new templates to facilitate meeting
minutes and action item reviews quickly and efficiently.

These can be shared via regular email or uploaded to the project management software of choice, such as Procore, allowing both internal and external stakeholder to quickly understand and address any assigned action items.

Change is inevitable. In the construction industry,
however, changes can cause costly delays and challenge
the team from fulfilling contractual obligations. At
Anser, we understand that changes in the requirements
of a project, the availability of resources and other
unforeseen conditions can create real problems for your project. Our Cost Estimating team, under Andy Kleimola
has the proven experience and the expertise you need to help you navigate these issues and to provide you with the change order analysis you need to determine the changes are fair and reasonable and keep costs under control.

While working with Chaffey College on their 5.5MW
solar PV project, Steve Clarke worked with the design builder to closely track both additive and deductive change orders, ensuring a fair disbursement of project funding. With a close eye on design review, he found alternative trenching paths through softscape which saved the contractor enough to include new electrical switchgear which had unexpectedly failed during the course of the project.

Close review of project status and regular check-ins with the selected contractor allow the Anser team to quickly review and approve progress invoices. As part of contract negotiation, Anser recommends setting up a clear milestone payment schedule that all agree on, to which the contractor can bill. The trick in GTrans’ particular situation will be lining this up with all the different milestone and reporting schedules associated with each funding source to ensure GTrans has the funding available when the contractor invoices. Speaking of funding sources, each funding source within this project will have its own reporting requirements. Anser has experience working with the CEC, Federal and local grants, as well as utility incentive programs for EV charging and solar/storage for over 250 municipalities nationwide, encompassing over $1.5 billion in Federal Funding.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING

REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP
(As required by the Civil Code)
(C.A.R. Form AD, Revised 12/21)
(If checked) This form is being provided in connection with a transaction for a leasehold interest exceeding one year as per Civil Code section 2079.13(j), (k), and (l).

When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to have with the agent in the transaction.

SELLER'S AGENT
A Seller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations:

To the Seller: A Fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller.

To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

BUYER'S AGENT
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations:

To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.

To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more salespersons and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer.

In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer:
(a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections.

In representing both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.

SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role.

The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.

If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation.

Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change.

Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of Sections 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully. I/WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS DISCLOSURE AND THE PORTIONS OF THE CIVIL CODE PRINTED ON THE SECOND PAGE.

(m) “Seller” means the transferor in a real property transaction and includes an owner who lists real property with an agent, whether or not a transfer results, or who receives an offer to purchase real property of which he or she is the owner from an agent on behalf of another. “Seller” includes both a vendor and a lessor of real property. (n) “Buyer's agent” means an agent who represents a buyer in a real property transaction. 2079.14. A seller's agent and buyer's agent shall provide the seller and buyer in a real property transaction with a copy of the disclosure form specified in Section 2079.16, and shall obtain a signed acknowledgment of receipt from that seller and buyer, except as provided in Section 2079.15, as follows: (a) The seller's agent, if any, shall provide the disclosure form to the seller prior to entering into the listing agreement.

2079.15. In any circumstance in which the seller or buyer refuses to sign an acknowledgment of receipt pursuant to Section 2079.14, the agent shall set forth, sign, and date a written declaration of the facts of the refusal. 2079.16 Reproduced on Page 1 of this AD form.
2079.17(a) As soon as practicable, the buyer's agent shall disclose to the buyer and seller whether the agent is acting in the real property transaction as the buyer's agent, or as a dual agent representing both the buyer and the seller.

(b) As soon as practicable, the seller's agent shall disclose to the seller whether the seller's agent is acting in the real property transaction as the seller's agent, or as a dual agent representing both the buyer and seller. This relationship shall be confirmed in the contract to purchase and sell real property or in a separate writing executed or acknowledged by the seller and the seller's agent prior to or coincident with the execution of that contract by the seller.

SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is (check one): the Seller's Agent. (salesperson or broker associate) both the Buyer's and Seller's Agent. (dual agent) Buyer's Brokerage Firm DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is the broker of (check one): the buyer; or both the buyer and seller. (dual agent) Buyer's Agent DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is (check one): the Buyer's Agent. (salesperson or broker associate) both the Buyer's and Seller's Agent. (dual agent) (d) The disclosures and confirmation required by this section shall be in addition to the disclosure required by Section 2079.14. An agent's duty to provide disclosure and confirmation of representation in this section may be performed by a real estate salesperson or broker associate affiliated with that broker. 2079.18 (Repealed pursuant to AB-1289)
2079.19 The payment of compensation or the obligation to pay compensation to an agent by the seller or buyer is not necessarily determinative of a particular agency relationship between an agent and the seller or buyer. A listing agent and a selling agent may agree to share any compensation or commission paid, or any right to any compensation or commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real estate transaction, and the terms of any such agreement shall not necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship. 2079.20 Nothing in this article prevents an agent from selecting, as a condition of the agent's employment, a specific form of agency relationship not specifically prohibited by this article if the requirements of Section 2079.14 and Section 2079.17 are complied with. 2079.21 (a) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the seller, disclose to the buyer any confidential information obtained from the seller. (b) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the buyer, disclose to the seller any confidential information obtained from the buyer.

(d) This section does not alter in any way the duty or responsibility of a dual agent to any principal with respect to confidential information other than price. 2079.22 Nothing in this article precludes a seller's agent from also being a buyer's agent. If a seller or buyer in a transaction chooses to not be represented by an agent, that does not, of itself, make that agent a dual agent. 2079.23 A contract between the principal and agent may be modified or altered to change the agency relationship at any time before the performance of the act which is the object of the agency with the written consent of the parties to the agency relationship. 2079.24 Nothing in this article shall be construed to either diminish the duty of disclosure owed buyers and sellers by agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees or to relieve agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees from liability for their conduct in connection with acts governed by this article or for any breach of a fiduciary duty or a duty of disclosure. © 2021, California Association of REALTORS®, Inc.

A. Prior to acceptance of an offer, asking for or offering buyer personal information or letters from the buyer, especially with photos. Those types of documents may inadvertently reveal, or be perceived as revealing, protected status information thereby increasing the risk of (i) actual or unconscious bias, and (ii) potential legal claims against sellers and others by prospective buyers whose offers were rejected.

B. Refusing to rent (i) an upper-level unit to an elderly tenant out of concern for the tenant's ability to navigate stairs or (ii) a house with a pool to a person with young children out of concern for the children's safety.

9. EXAMPLES OF UNLAWFUL OR IMPROPER CONDUCT BASED ON A PROTECTED CLASS OR CHARACTERISTIC:

A. Refusing to negotiate for a sale, rental or financing or otherwise make a housing opportunity unavailable; failing to present offers due to a person's protected status;
B. Refusing or failing to show, rent, sell or finance housing; “channeling” or “steering” a prospective buyer or tenant to or away from a particular area due to that person's protected status or because of the racial, religious or ethnic composition of the neighborhood; C. “Blockbusting” or causing “panic selling” by inducing a listing, sale or rental based on the grounds of loss of value of property, increase in crime, or decline in school quality due to the entry or prospective entry of people in protected categories into the neighborhood;
D. Making any statement or advertisement that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination; © 2022, California Association of REALTORS®, Inc.

E. Inquiring about protected characteristics (such as asking tenant applicants if they are married, or prospective purchasers if they have children or are planning to start a family);
F. Using criminal history information before otherwise affirming eligibility, and without a legally sufficient justification; G. Failing to assess financial standards based on the portion of the income responsible by a tenant who receives government subsidies (such as basing an otherwise neutral rent to income ratio on the whole rent rather than just the part of rent that is the tenant's responsibility);
H. Denying a home loan or homeowner's insurance;
I. Offering inferior terms, conditions, privileges, facilities or services; J. Using different qualification criteria or procedures for sale or rental of housing such as income standards, application requirements, application fees, credit analyses, sale or rental approval procedures or other requirements; K. Harassing a person;
L. Taking an adverse action based on protected characteristics; M. Refusing to permit a reasonable modification to the premises, as requested by a person with a disability (such as refusing to allow a wheelchair bound tenant to install, at their expense, a ramp over front or rear steps, or refusing to allow a physically disabled tenant from installing, at their own expense, grab bars in a shower or bathtub); N. Refusing to make reasonable accommodation in policies, rules, practices, or services for a person with a disability (such as the following, if an actual or prospective tenant with a disability has a service animal or support animal):
(i) Failing to allow that person to keep the service animal or emotional support animal in rental property, (ii) Charging that person higher rent or increased security deposit, or (iii) Failing to show rental or sale property to that person who is accompanied by the service animal or support animal, and; O. Retaliating for asserting rights under fair housing laws.

10. EXAMPLES OF POSITIVE PRACTICES:

A. Real estate licensees working with buyers or tenants should apply the same objective property selection criteria, such as location/neighborhood, property features, and price range and other considerations, to all prospects.

B. Real estate licensees should provide complete and objective information to all clients based on the client's selection criteria.

C. Real estate licensees should provide the same professional courtesy in responding to inquiries, sharing of information and offers of assistance to all clients and prospects.

D. Housing providers should not make any statement or advertisement that directly or indirectly implies preference, limitation, or discrimination regarding any protected characteristic (such as “no children” or “English-speakers only”).

E. Housing providers should use a selection process relying on objective information about a prospective buyer's offer or tenant's application and not seek any information that may disclose any protected characteristics (such as using a summary document, e.g. C.A.R. Form SUM-MO, to compare multiple offers on objective terms).

11. FAIR HOUSING RESOURCES: If you have questions about your obligations or rights under the Fair Housing laws, or you think you have been discriminated against, you may want to contact one or more of the sources listed below to discuss what you can do about it, and whether the resource is able to assist you.

A. Federal: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp B. State: https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/housing/
C. Local: local Fair Housing Council office (non-profit, free service) D. DRE: https://www.dre.ca.gov/Consumers/FileComplaint.html E. Local Association of REALTORS®. List available at: https://www.car.org/en/contactus/rosters/localassociationroster.

F. Any qualified California fair housing attorney, or if applicable, landlord-tenant attorney.

12. LIMITED EXCEPTIONS TO FAIR HOUSING REQUIREMENTS: No person should rely on any exception below without first seeking legal advice about whether the exception applies to their situation. Real estate licensees are not qualified to provide advice on the application of these exceptions.

A. Legally compliant senior housing is exempt from FHA, FEHA and Unruh as related to age or familial status only; B. An owner of a single-family residence who resides at the property with one lodger may be exempt from FEHA for rental purposes, PROVIDED no real estate licensee is involved in the rental; C. An owner of a single-family residence may be exempt from FHA for sale or rental purposes, PROVIDED (i) no real estate licensee is involved in the sale or rental and (ii) no discriminatory advertising is used, and (iii) the owner owns no more than three single-family residences. Other restrictions apply; D. An owner of residential property with one to four units who resides at the property, may be exempt from FHA for rental purposes, PROVIDED no real estate licensee is involved in the rental; and E. Both FHA and FEHA do not apply to roommate situations. See, Fair Housing Council v Roommate.com LLC, 666 F.3d 1216 (2019).

F. Since both the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibit discrimination based on race; the FHA and FEHA exemptions do not extend to discrimination based on race.

WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS

TRANSFER ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form WFA, Revised 12/21)
Property Address: (“Property”).

WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS ADVISORY:

The ability to communicate and conduct business electronically is a convenience and reality in nearly all parts of our lives.

At the same time, it has provided hackers and scammers new opportunities for their criminal activity. Many businesses have been victimized and the real estate business is no exception.

While wiring or electronically transferring funds is a welcome convenience, we all need to exercise extreme caution.

Emails attempting to induce fraudulent wire transfers have been received and have appeared to be legitimate. Reports indicate that some hackers have been able to intercept emailed transfer instructions, obtain account information and, by altering some of the data, redirect the funds to a different account. It also appears that some hackers were able to provide false phone numbers for verifying the wiring or funds transfer instructions. In those cases, the victim called the number provided to confirm the instructions, and then unwittingly authorized a transfer to somewhere or someone other than the intended recipient.

ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ADVISED:

1. Obtain phone numbers and account numbers only from Escrow Officers, Property Managers, or Landlords at the beginning of the transaction.

2. DO NOT EVER WIRE OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSFER FUNDS PRIOR TO CALLING TO CONFIRM THE TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. ONLY USE A PHONE NUMBER YOU WERE PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY. Do not use any different phone number or account number included in any emailed transfer instructions.

3. Orally confirm the transfer instruction is legitimate and confirm the bank routing number, account numbers and other codes before taking steps to transfer the funds.

4. Avoid sending personal information in emails or texts. Provide such information in person or over the telephone directly to the Escrow Officer, Property Manager, or Landlord.

5. Take steps to secure the system you are using with your email account. These steps include creating strong passwords, using secure WiFi, and not using free services.

If you believe you have received questionable or suspicious wire or funds transfer instructions, immediately notify your bank, and the other party, and the Escrow Office, Landlord, or Property Manager. The sources below, as well as others, can also provide information:

Federal Bureau of Investigation: https://www.fbi.gov/; the FBI's IC3 at www.ic3.gov; or 310-477-6565 National White Collar Crime Center: http://www.nw3c.org/ On Guard Online: https://www.onguardonline.gov/
NOTE: There are existing alternatives to electronic and wired fund transfers such as cashier's checks.

By signing below, the undersigned acknowledge that each has read, understands and has received a copy of this Wire Fraud and Electronic Funds Transfer Advisory.

5. ADDITIONAL TERMS AFFECTING PURCHASE PRICE: Buyer represents that funds will be good when deposited with Escrow Holder.

A. DEPOSIT:
(1) INITIAL DEPOSIT: Buyer shall deliver deposit directly to Escrow Holder. If a method other than wire transfer is specified in paragraph 3D(1) and such method is unacceptable to Escrow Holder, then upon notice from Escrow Holder, delivery shall be by wire transfer.
(2) INCREASED DEPOSIT: Increased deposit to be delivered to Escrow Holder in the same manner as the Initial Deposit. If the Parties agree to liquidated damages in this Agreement, they also agree to incorporate the increased deposit into the liquidated damages amount by signing a new liquidated damages clause (C.A.R. Form DID) at the time the increased deposit is delivered to Escrow Holder.
(3) RETENTION OF DEPOSIT: Paragraph 36, if initialed by all Parties or otherwise incorporated into this Agreement, specifies a remedy for Buyer's default. Buyer and Seller are advised to consult with a qualified California real estate attorney: (i) Before adding any other clause specifying a remedy (such as release or forfeiture of deposit or making a deposit non-refundable) for failure of Buyer to complete the purchase. Any such clause shall be deemed invalid unless the clause independently satisfies the statutory liquidated damages requirements set forth in the Civil Code; and (ii) Regarding possible liability and remedies if Buyer fails to deliver the deposit.

B. ALL CASH OFFER: If an all cash offer is specified in paragraph 3A, no loan is needed to purchase the Property. This Agreement is NOT contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan. Buyer shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3H(1), Deliver written verification of funds sufficient for the purchase price and closing costs.

C. LOAN(S):
(1) FIRST LOAN: This loan will provide for conventional financing UNLESS FHA, VA, Seller Financing (C.A.R. Form SFA), Subject To Financing, Assumed Financing, or Other is checked in paragraph 3E(1). (2) ADDITIONAL FINANCED AMOUNT: If an additional financed amount is specified in paragraph 3E(2), that amount will provide for conventional financing UNLESS Seller Financing (C.A.R. Form SFA), Subject To Financing, Assumed Financing, or Other is checked in paragraph 3E(2).
(3) BUYER'S LOAN STATUS: Buyer authorizes Seller and Seller's Authorized Agent to contact Buyer's lender(s) to determine the status of any Buyer's loan specified in paragraph 3E, or any alternate loan Buyer pursues, whether or not a contingency of this Agreement. If the contact information for Buyer's lender(s) is different from that provided under the terms of paragraph 6B, Buyer shall Deliver the updated contact information within 1 Day of Seller's request. (4) ASSUMED OR SUBJECT TO FINANCING: Seller represents that Seller is not delinquent on any payments due on any loans. If the Property is acquired subject to an existing loan, Buyer and Seller are advised to consult with legal counsel regarding the ability of an existing lender to call the loan due, and the consequences thereof. (5) Buyer shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3E(1), Deliver to Seller written notice (C.A.R. Form RR or AEA) (i) of any lender requirements that Buyer requests Seller to pay for or otherwise correct or (ii) that there are no lender requirements.

D. BALANCE OF PURCHASE PRICE (DOWN PAYMENT) (including all-cash funds) to be deposited with Escrow Holder pursuant to Escrow Holder instructions.

E. LIMITS ON CREDITS TO BUYER: Any credit to Buyer, from any source, for closing or other costs that is agreed to by the Parties (“Contractual Credit”) shall be disclosed to Buyer's lender, if any, and made at Close Of Escrow. If the total credit allowed by Buyer's lender (“Lender Allowable Credit”) is less than the Contractual Credit, then (i) the Contractual Credit from Seller shall be reduced to the Lender Allowable Credit, and (ii) in the absence of a separate written agreement between the Parties, there shall be no automatic adjustment to the purchase price to make up for the difference between the Contractual Credit and the Lender Allowable Credit.

6. ADDITIONAL FINANCING TERMS:

A. VERIFICATION OF DOWN PAYMENT AND CLOSING COSTS: Written verification of Buyer's down payment and closing costs may be made by Buyer or Buyer's lender or loan broker pursuant to paragraph 6B.

B. VERIFICATION OF LOAN APPLICATIONS: Buyer shall Deliver to Seller, within the time specified in paragraph 3H(3) a letter from Buyer's lender or loan broker stating that, based on a review of Buyer's written application and credit report, Buyer is prequalified or preapproved for any NEW loan specified in paragraph 3E. If any loan specified in paragraph 3E is an adjustable rate loan, the prequalification or preapproval letter shall be based on the qualifying rate, not the initial loan rate.

C. BUYER STATED FINANCING: Seller is relying on Buyer's representation of the type of financing specified (including, but not limited to, as applicable, all cash, amount of down payment, or contingent or non-contingent loan).

(1) Unless Otherwise Agreed: (i) the Property shall be delivered “As-Is” in its PRESENT physical condition as of the date of Acceptance; (ii) the Property, including pool, spa, landscaping and grounds, is to be maintained in substantially the same condition as on the date of Acceptance; and (iii) all debris and personal property not included in the sale shall be removed by Close Of Escrow or at the time possession is delivered to Buyer, if not on the same date. If items are not removed when possession is delivered to Buyer, all items shall be deemed abandoned. Buyer, after first Delivering to Seller written notice to remove the items within 3 Days, may pay to have such items removed or disposed of and may bring legal action, as per this Agreement, to receive reasonable costs from Seller. (2) Buyer is strongly advised to conduct investigations of the entire Property in order to determine its present condition. Seller and Agents may not be aware of all defects affecting the Property or other factors that Buyer considers important. Property improvements may not be built according to code, in compliance with current Law, or have had all required permits issued and/or finalized.

C. SELLER REMAINING IN POSSESSION AFTER CLOSE OF ESCROW: If Seller has the right to remain in possession after Close Of Escrow pursuant to paragraph 3M(2) or as Otherwise Agreed, (i) the Parties are advised to consult with their insurance and legal advisors for information about liability and damage or injury to persons and personal and real property; (ii) Buyer is advised to consult with Buyer's lender about the impact of Seller's occupancy on Buyer's loan; and (iii) consult with a qualified California real estate attorney where the Property is located to determine the ongoing rights and responsibilities of both Buyer and Seller with regard to each other, including possible tenant rights, and what type of written agreement to use to document the relationship between the Parties.

D. At Close Of Escrow: (i) Seller assigns to Buyer any assignable warranty rights for items included in the sale; and (ii) Seller shall Deliver to Buyer available Copies of any such warranties. Agents cannot and will not determine the assignability of any warranties.

E. Seller shall, on Close Of Escrow unless Otherwise Agreed and even if Seller remains in possession, provide keys, passwords, codes and/or means to operate all locks, mailboxes, security systems, alarms, home automation systems, intranet and Internet-connected devices included in the purchase price, garage door openers, and all items included in either paragraph 3P or paragraph 9. If the Property is a condominium or located in a common interest development, Seller shall be responsible for securing or providing any such items for Association amenities, facilities, and access. Buyer may be required to pay a deposit to the Owners' Association (“HOA”) to obtain keys to accessible HOA facilities.

8. CONTINGENCIES AND REMOVAL OF CONTINGENCIES:

A. LOAN(S):
(1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(1) or an attached CR form, contingent upon Buyer obtaining the loan(s) specified. If contingent, Buyer shall act diligently and in good faith to obtain the designated loan(s). If there is no appraisal contingency or the appraisal contingency has been waived or removed, then failure of the Property to appraise at the purchase price does not entitle Buyer to exercise the cancellation right pursuant to the loan contingency if Buyer is otherwise qualified for the specified loan and Buyer is able to satisfy lender's non-appraisal conditions for closing the loan.
(2) Buyer is advised to investigate the insurability of the Property as early as possible, as this may be a requirement for lending. Buyer's ability to obtain insurance for the Property, including fire insurance, is part of Buyer's Investigation of Property contingency. Failure of Buyer to obtain insurance may justify cancellation based on the Investigation contingency but not the loan contingency.
(3) Buyer's contractual obligations regarding deposit, balance of down payment and closing costs are not contingencies of this Agreement, unless Otherwise Agreed.
(4) If there is an appraisal contingency, removal of the loan contingency shall not be deemed removal of the appraisal contingency. (5) NO LOAN CONTINGENCY: If "No loan contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(1), obtaining any loan specified is NOT a contingency of this Agreement. If Buyer does not obtain the loan specified, and as a result is unable to purchase the Property, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.

B. APPRAISAL:
(1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(2) or an attached CR form, contingent upon a written appraisal of the Property by a licensed or certified appraiser at no less than the amount specified in paragraph 3L(2), without requiring repairs or improvements to the Property. Appraisals are often a reliable source to verify square footage of the subject Property. However, the ability to cancel based on the measurements provided in an appraisal falls within the Investigation of Property contingency. The appraisal contingency is solely limited to the value determined by the appraisal.

For any cancellation based upon this appraisal contingency, Buyer shall Deliver a Copy of the written appraisal to Seller, upon request by Seller.
(2) NO APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY: If "No appraisal contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(2), then Buyer may not use the loan contingency specified in paragraph 3L(1) to cancel this Agreement if the sole reason for not obtaining the loan is that the appraisal relied upon by Buyer's lender values the property at an amount less than that specified in paragraph 3L(2). If Buyer is unable to obtain the loan specified solely for this reason, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.
(3) Fair Appraisal Act: The Parties acknowledge receipt of the attached Fair Appraisal Act Addendum (C.A.R. Form FAAA).

C. INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(3), contingent upon Buyer's acceptance of the condition of, and any other matter affecting, the Property.

D. REVIEW OF SELLER DOCUMENTS: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(4), contingent upon Buyer's review and approval of Seller's documents required in paragraph 16A.

E. TITLE:
(1) This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(5), contingent upon Buyer's ability to obtain the title policy provided for in paragraph 16G and on Buyer's review of a current Preliminary Report and items that are disclosed or observable even if not on record or not specified in the Preliminary Report, and satisfying Buyer regarding the current status of title. Buyer is advised to review all underlying documents and other matters affecting title, including, but not limited to, any documents or deeds referenced in the Preliminary Report and any plotted easements. (2) Buyer has 5 Days after receipt to review a revised Preliminary Report, if any, furnished by the Title Company and cancel the transaction if the revised Preliminary Report reveals material or substantial deviations from a previously provided Preliminary Report.

F. CONDOMINIUM/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISCLOSURES (IF APPLICABLE): This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(6), contingent upon Buyer's review and approval of Common Interest Disclosures required by Civil Code § 4525 and under paragraph 11C (“CI Disclosures”).

G. BUYER REVIEW OF LEASED OR LIENED ITEMS CONTINGENCY: Buyer's review of and ability and willingness to assume any lease, maintenance agreement or other ongoing financial obligation, or to accept the Property subject to any lien, disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9B(6), is, as specified in paragraph 3L(7), a contingency of this Agreement.

Seller, after first Delivering a Notice to Buyer to Perform, may cancel this Agreement if Buyer, by the time specified in paragraph 3L(7), refuses to enter into any necessary written agreements to accept responsibility for all obligations of Seller disclosed leased or liened items.

H. REMOVAL OR WAIVER OF CONTINGENCIES WITH OFFER: Buyer shall have no obligation to remove a contractual contingency unless Seller has provided all required documents, reports, disclosures, and information pertaining to that contingency. If Buyer does remove a contingency without first receiving all required information from Seller, Buyer is relinquishing any contractual rights that apply to that contingency. If Buyer removes or waives any contingencies without an adequate understanding of the Property's condition or Buyer's ability to purchase, Buyer is acting against the advice of Agent.

I. REMOVAL OF CONTINGENCY OR CANCELLATION:
(1) For any contingency specified in paragraph 3L, 8, or elsewhere, Buyer shall, within the applicable period specified, remove the contingency or cancel this Agreement. (2) For the contingencies for review of Seller Documents, Preliminary Report, and Condominium/Planned Development Disclosures, Buyer shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3L or 5 Days after Delivery of the applicable Seller Documents, Preliminary Report, or CI Disclosures, whichever occurs later, remove the applicable contingency in writing or cancel this Agreement.
(3) If Buyer does not remove a contingency within the time specified, Seller, after first giving Buyer a Notice to Buyer to Perform (C.A.R. Form NBP), shall have the right to cancel this Agreement.

J. SALE OF BUYER'S PROPERTY: This Agreement and Buyer's ability to obtain financing are NOT contingent upon the sale of any property owned by Buyer unless the Sale of Buyer's Property (C.A.R. Form COP) is checked as a contingency of this Agreement in paragraph 3L(8).

The company providing the Preliminary Report shall, prior to issuing a Preliminary Report, conduct a search of the General Index for all Sellers except banks or other institutional lenders selling properties they acquired through foreclosure (REOs), corporations, and government entities.

B. Title is taken in its present condition subject to all encumbrances, easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights and other matters, whether of record or not, as of the date of Acceptance except for: (i) monetary liens of record unless Buyer is assuming those obligations or taking the Property subject to those obligations; and (ii) those matters which Seller has agreed to remove in writing. For any lien or matter not being transferred upon sale, Seller will take necessary action to deliver title free and clear of such lien or matter.

C. Seller shall within 7 Days after request, give Escrow Holder necessary information to clear title.

D. Seller shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3N(1), disclose to Buyer all matters known to Seller affecting title, whether of record or not.

E. If Buyer is a legal entity and the Property purchase price is at least $300,000 and the purchase price is made without a bank loan or similar form of external financing, a Geographic Targeting Order (GTO) issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, U.S. Department of the Treasury, requires title companies to collect and report certain information about the Buyer, depending on where the Property is located. Buyer agrees to cooperate with the title company's effort to comply with the GTO.

F. Buyer shall, after Close Of Escrow, receive a recorded grant deed or any other conveyance document required to convey title (For example, for stock cooperative or tenancy in common, respectively, an assignment of stock certificate or assignment of seller's interest in the real property), including oil, mineral and water rights if currently owned by Seller. Title shall vest as designated in Buyer's vesting instructions. The recording document shall contain Buyer's post-closing mailing address to enable Buyer's receipt of the recorded conveyance document from the County Recorder. THE MANNER OF TAKING TITLE MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT LEGAL AND TAX CONSEQUENCES. CONSULT AN APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL.

G. Buyer shall receive a Standard Coverage Owner's CLTA policy of title insurance. An ALTA policy or the addition of endorsements may provide greater coverage for Buyer. A title company, at Buyer's request, can provide information about the availability, desirability, coverage, and cost of various title insurance coverages and endorsements. If Buyer desires title coverage other than that required by this paragraph, Buyer shall instruct Escrow Holder in writing and shall pay any increase in cost.

29. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: The Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The ADA affects almost all commercial facilities and public accommodations. Residential properties are not typically covered by the ADA, but may be governed by its provisions if used for certain purposes. The ADA can require, among other things, that building be made readily accessible to the disabled. Different requirements apply to new construction, alterations to existing buildings, and removal of barriers in existing buildings. Compliance with the ADA may require significant costs. Monetary and injunctive remedies may be incurred if the Property is not in compliance. A real estate broker or agent does not have the technical expertise to determine whether a building is in compliance with ADA requirements, or to advise a principal on those requirements. Buyer and Seller are advised to contact a qualified California real estate attorney, contractor, architect, engineer, or other qualified professional of Buyer or Seller's own choosing to determine to what degree, if any, the ADA impacts that principal or this transaction.

(2) All calendar days are counted in establishing the first Day after an event. (3) All calendar days are counted in determining the date upon which performance must be completed, ending at 11:59 pm on the last day for performance (“Scheduled Performance Day”). (4) After Acceptance, if the Scheduled Performance Day for any act required by this Agreement, including Close Of Escrow, lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday, the performing party shall be allowed to perform on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday (“Allowable Performance Day”), and ending at 11:59 pm. “Legal Holiday” shall mean any holiday or optional bank holiday under Civil Code §§ 7 and 7.1 and any holiday under Government Code § 6700.

(6) COE is considered Day 0 for purposes of counting days Seller is allowed to remain in possession, if permitted by this Agreement.

J. “Day" or "Days” means calendar day or days. However, delivery of deposit to escrow is based on business days.

K. “Deliver”, “Delivered” or “Delivery” of documents, unless Otherwise Agreed, means and shall be effective upon personal receipt of the document by Buyer or Seller or their Authorized Agent. Personal receipt means (i) a Copy of the document, or as applicable, link to the document, is in the possession of the Party or Authorized Agent, regardless of the Delivery method used (i.e. e-mail, text, other), or (ii) an electronic Copy of the document, or as applicable, link to the document, has been sent to any of the designated electronic delivery addresses specified in the Real Estate Broker Section on page 16. After Acceptance, Agent may change the designated electronic delivery address for that Agent by, in writing, Delivering notice of the change in designated electronic delivery address to the other Party. Links could be, for example, to DropBox or GoogleDrive or other functionally equivalent program. If the recipient of a link is unable or unwilling to open the link or download the documents or otherwise prefers Delivery of the documents directly, Recipient of a link shall notify the sender in writing, within 3 Days after Delivery of the link (C.A.R. Form RFR). In such case, Delivery shall be effective upon Delivery of the documents and not the link. Failure to notify sender within the time specified above shall be deemed consent to receive, and Buyer opening, the document by link.

L. “Electronic Copy” or “Electronic Signature” means, as applicable, an electronic copy or signature complying with California Law. Unless Otherwise Agreed, Buyer and Seller agreed to the use of Electronic Signatures. Buyer and Seller agree that electronic means will not be used by either Party to modify or alter the content or integrity of this Agreement without the knowledge and consent of the other Party.

BUYER'S INVESTIGATION ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form BIA, Revised 12/21)
Property Address

1. IMPORTANCE OF PROPERTY INVESTIGATION: The physical condition of the land and improvements being purchased is not guaranteed by either Seller or Brokers. You have an affirmative duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including discovery of the legal, practical and technical implications of disclosed facts, and the investigation and verification of information and facts that you know or that are within your diligent attention and observation. A general physical inspection typically does not cover all aspects of the Property nor items affecting the Property that are not physically located on the Property. If the professionals recommend further investigations, including a recommendation by a pest control operator to inspect inaccessible areas of the Property, you should contact qualified experts to conduct such additional investigations.

2. BROKER OBLIGATIONS: Brokers do not have expertise in all areas and therefore cannot advise you on many items, such as those listed below. If Broker gives you referrals to professionals, Broker does not guarantee their performance.

3. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO INVESTIGATE THE CONDITION AND SUITABILITY OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST THE ADVICE OF BROKERS.

A. GENERAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, ITS SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS: Foundation, roof (condition, age, leaks, useful life), plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, mechanical, security, pool/spa (cracks, leaks, operation), other structural and non-structural systems and components, fixtures, built-in appliances, any personal property included in the sale, and energy efficiency of the Property.

B. SQUARE FOOTAGE, AGE, BOUNDARIES: Square footage, room dimensions, lot size, age of improvements and boundaries. Any numerical statements regarding these items are APPROXIMATIONS ONLY and have not been verified by Seller and cannot be verified by Brokers. Fences, hedges, walls, retaining walls and other barriers or markers do not necessarily identify true Property boundaries.

C. WOOD DESTROYING PESTS: Presence of, or conditions likely to lead to the presence of wood destroying pests and organisms.

D. SOIL STABILITY: Existence of fill or compacted soil, expansive or contracting soil, susceptibility to slippage, settling or movement, and the adequacy of drainage.

E. WATER AND UTILITIES; WELL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS; WASTE DISPOSAL: Water and utility availability, use restrictions and costs. Water quality, adequacy, condition, and performance of well systems and components. The type, size, adequacy, capacity and condition of sewer and septic systems and components, connection to sewer, and applicable fees.

F. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Potential environmental hazards, including, but not limited to, asbestos, leadbased paint and other lead contamination, radon, methane, other gases, fuel oil or chemical storage tanks, contaminated soil or water, hazardous waste, waste disposal sites, electromagnetic fields, nuclear sources, and other substances, materials, products, or conditions (including mold (airborne, toxic or otherwise), fungus or similar contaminants).

G. EARTHQUAKES AND FLOODING: Susceptibility of the Property to earthquake/seismic hazards and propensity of the Property to flood.

H. FIRE, HAZARD, AND OTHER INSURANCE: The availability and cost of necessary or desired insurance may vary.

The location of the Property in a seismic, flood or fire hazard zone, and other conditions, such as the age of the Property and the claims history of the Property and Buyer, may affect the availability and need for certain types of insurance. Buyer should explore insurance options early as this information may affect other decisions, including the removal of loan and inspection contingencies.

I. BUILDING PERMITS, ZONING, GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, AND ADDRESS: Permits, inspections, certificates, zoning, other governmental limitations, restrictions, and requirements affecting the current or future use of the Property, its development or size. Postal/mailing address and zip code may not accurately reflect the city which has jurisdiction over the property.

J. RENTAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS: The State, some counties, and some cities impose restrictions that limit the amount of rent that can be charged, the maximum number of occupants, and the right of a landlord to terminate a tenancy. Deadbolt or other locks and security systems for doors and windows, including window bars, should be examined to determine whether they satisfy legal requirements.

K. SECURITY AND SAFETY: State and local Law may require the installation of barriers, access alarms, selflatching mechanisms and/or other measures to decrease the risk to children and other persons of existing swimming pools and hot tubs, as well as various fire safety and other measures concerning other features of the Property.

POSSIBLE REPRESENTATION OF MORE THAN ONE BUYER

OR SELLER - DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT
(C.A.R. Form PRBS, Revised 12/21)
A real estate broker (Broker), whether a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship, may represent more than one buyer or seller. This multiple representation can occur through an individual licensed as a broker or salesperson or through different individual broker's or salespersons (associate licensees) acting under the Broker's license. The associate licensees may be working out of the same or different office locations.

Multiple Buyers: Broker (individually or through its associate licensees) may be working with many prospective buyers at the same time. These prospective buyers may have an interest in, and make offers on, the same properties. Some of these properties may be listed with Broker and some may not. Broker will not limit or restrict any particular buyer from making an offer on any particular property whether or not Broker represents other buyers interested in the same property.

Multiple Sellers: Broker (individually or through its associate licensees) may have listings on many properties at the same time. As a result, Broker will attempt to find buyers for each of those listed properties. Some listed properties may appeal to the same prospective buyers. Some properties may attract more prospective buyers than others. Some of these prospective buyers may be represented by Broker and some may not. Broker will market all listed properties to all prospective buyers whether or not Broker has another or other listed properties that may appeal to the same prospective buyers.

Dual Agency: If Seller is represented by Broker, Seller acknowledges that broker may represent prospective buyers of Seller's property and consents to Broker acting as a dual agent for both seller and buyer in that transaction. If Buyer is represented by Broker, buyer acknowledges that Broker may represent sellers of property that Buyer is interested in acquiring and consents to Broker acting as a dual agent for both buyer and seller with regard to that property.

In the event of dual agency, seller and buyer agree that: a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the buyer's or seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered; and except as set forth above, a dual agent is obligated to disclose known facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the Property to both parties.

Offers not necessarily confidential: Buyer is advised that seller or listing agent may disclose the existence, terms, or conditions of buyer's offer unless all parties and their agent have signed a written confidentiality agreement. Whether any such information is actually disclosed depends on many factors, such as current market conditions, the prevailing practice in the real estate community, the listing agent's marketing strategy and the instructions of the seller.

Buyer and seller understand that Broker may represent more than one buyer or more than one seller and even both buyer and seller on the same transaction and consents to such relationships.

Seller and/or Buyer acknowledges reading and understanding this Possible Representation of More Than One Buyer or Seller - Disclosure and Consent and agrees to the agency possibilities disclosed.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT ADVISORY,

DISCLOSURE AND NOTICE
(C.A.R. Form CCPA, Revised 12/22)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (commencing with Civil Code § 1798.100) (“CCPA”), as amended by California voters in 2020, grants to California residents certain rights in their private, personal information (“PI”) that is collected by companies with whom they do business. Under the CCPA, PI is defined broadly to encompass non-public records information that could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to you. PI could potentially include photographs of, or sales information about, your property.

During the process of buying and selling real estate your PI will be collected and likely shared with others, including real estate licensees, a Multiple Listing Service, real estate internet websites, service providers, lenders, and title and escrow companies, to name several possibilities. Businesses that are covered by the CCPA are required to grant you various rights in your PI, including the right to know what PI is collected, the right to know what PI is sold or shared and to whom, the right to request that the business correct or delete your PI, the right to “opt out” or stop the transfer of your PI to others, and the right to limit the use of certain PI which is considered “sensitive.” You may get one or more notices regarding your CCPA rights from businesses you interact with in a real estate transaction. However, not all businesses that receive or share your PI are obligated to comply with the CCPA. Moreover, businesses that are otherwise covered under the CCPA may have a legal obligation to maintain PI, notwithstanding your instruction to the contrary. For instance, regardless of whether they are covered by CCPA, under California law, brokers and Multiple Listing Services are required to maintain their records for 3 years. If you wish to exercise your rights under CCPA, where applicable, you should contact the respective business directly.

You can obtain more information about the CCPA and your rights under the law from the State of California Department of Justice (oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa). Additionally, the California Privacy Protection Agency is authorized to promulgate regulations which may further clarify requirements of the CCPA (cppa.ca.gov/regulations/).

I/we acknowledge receipt of a copy of this California Consumer Privacy Act Advisory, Disclosure and Notice.
