1 INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY
This Flood Control Benefit Assessment report is prepared in accordance with voter-approved Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) resolutions. It presents annual revenue requirements for fiscal years 2023-24 through 2029-30 for each of the five flood control zones throughout Valley Water (see map on page 2 for zone locations). Commencing on July 1, 2000, Valley Water benefit assessments are limited to pay qualified debt obligations and covenants only.

The qualified debt obligations in each of the zones are for debt service and associated covenants of outstanding Certificates of Participation (long-term financing instruments similar to bonds). The proceeds from these long-term debt obligations have been or will be used to plan, design and build flood protection facilities. Major projects partially financed with debt proceeds include Palo Alto Flood Basin Structure Improvements, Guadalupe from Tasman Drive to I-880, Lower Silver Creek from Cunningham Avenue to I-680, Salt Ponds, Lower Penitencia Creek to Calaveras, Lower Penitencia Creek Montague Expressway to Coyote Creek, and the San Francisco Bay Shoreline projects.

This report serves as the base report for the public hearings on flood control benefit assessments for FY 2023-24 and subsequent fiscal years until 2029-30.

Information on the flood control benefit assessment for an individual parcel as well as the initial detailed Valley Water reports describing the need for supplemental flood control revenue from benefit assessments are available for review through the Clerk of the Board at Valley Water’s office located at 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, California.

3 BACKGROUND

INITIATION OF BENEFIT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
After passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, revenue for Valley Water flood control activities was significantly decreased. The State Legislature recognized the vital public safety service furnished by local flood control districts and passed Assembly Bill 549 (Frazee) in 1979. This legislation authorized flood control districts to levy benefit assessments to help fund flood control programs. The law permitted flood control benefit assessments to be spread according to the proportional storm water runoff from each parcel of property within the assessed area and required voter approval to continue such levy after the first year. On June 9, 1981, following a public hearing, the Board of Directors (Board) adopted a 10-year flood control benefit assessment program and levied assessments for one year beginning with 1981-82. They put the issue of continuing the benefit assessments for nine more years on the June 8, 1982, ballot for all zones. The measure was overwhelmingly approved by the voters.

REVISED BENEFIT ASSESSMENTS TO ACCELERATE CONSTRUCTION (1986 & 1990) Following major floods and flood damage in 1982, 1983, and 1986, the Board reviewed the effectiveness of the benefit assessments and found that unless additional funding was made available, many of the needed flood protection projects would not be completed until well past the year 2010. The Board, with recommendations from the Flood Control Zone Advisory Committees, went to the electorate on November 4, 1986, in four zones, the Northwest, Central, East, and South to 1) increase benefit assessment rate limits so construction of flood protection projects could be accelerated, 2) extend the benefit assessment program to the year 2000, 3) use benefit assessments to meet duly authorized debt obligations beyond the year 2000 until retired, and 4) meet flood damage costs to Valley Water facilities from flood disasters. The voters approved the benefit assessment measures in each of these zones. On June 5, 1990, voters approved a similar measure in the North Central zone.

Pursuant to the 1986 and 1990 voter approved benefit assessment programs described above, as of July 1, 2000, benefit assessment rates are determined solely by each zone’s long-term debt obligations. Valley Water cannot increase annual debt obligations supported by benefit assessments in excess of amounts in place on July 1, 2000 unless a new measure is approved by voters.

DEBT OBLIGATION REFUNDING (2003)
In February, 2003, Valley Water refinanced a portion of the outstanding 1994A Series Certificates of Participation to take advantage of a favorable interest rate market. Valley Water realized cost savings in three of the 5 watershed zones; Central, East and North Central. In the Central and North Central zones, the Board determined that the best use of the savings was to increase the amount of debt while maintaining the yearly debt service at the current level. The additional debt was used to supplement voter approved projects in those zones. Savings achieved in the East zone were not eligible to fund projects, but instead were used to reduce debt service and the associated benefit assessments. Table 1 reflects the change to the benefit assessment debt obligation in the East zone, a reduction of roughly $130,000 per

5.1 p. 20 of 1163
4 year beginning in 2004. The refinancing resulted in slight insignificant changes to the debt obligation in all other zones.

DEBT OBLIGATION REFUNDING (2004)
The remaining portion of the 1994A Certificates of Participation (COP’s) became eligible for refunding on November 3, 2003. Since the remaining portion was allocated to the advance refunding of the Series 1988 and Series 1990 COP’s, tax law requires that a ten year period of time elapse prior to the second advance refunding, marked by November 3, 2003 in this case. In January, 2004, Valley Water refinanced this remaining portion of the outstanding 1994A Series Certificates of Participation to again take advantage of the favorable interest rate market. Valley Water realized cost savings in two of the 5 watershed zones; Northwest and South. In the Northwest zone, the Board determined that the best use of the savings was to increase the amount of debt while maintaining the yearly debt service at the current level. The additional debt was used to supplement voter approved projects in that zone.

Savings achieved in the South zone were not eligible to fund projects, but instead were used to shorten the term over which the debt service would be paid and associated benefit assessments would be collected. Table 1 on the following page reflects the change to the benefit assessment debt obligation in the South zone, in which the debt obligation is paid off by the year 2013 instead of 2024. The refinancing resulted in slight insignificant changes to the debt obligation in all other zones.

DEBT OBLIGATION REFUNDING (2007)
In February, 2007 Valley Water refinanced the outstanding portion of the 2000 Series Certificates of Participation to take advantage of a favorable interest rate market. Valley Water realized cost savings in four of the 5 watershed zones; Northwest, North Central, Central, and East. No debt was issued for the South zone under the 2000 Series debt issuance; therefore, the South zone was not affected by the refunding. In the four affected zones, the Board determined that the best use of the savings was to increase the amount of debt while maintaining the yearly debt service at the current level. The additional debt was used for voter approved projects in each zone.

There was a one-time reduction in the benefit assessment debt obligation for each of the four affected zones in FY 2008 as shown on Table 1. This one-time reduction was a result of the issuance of the 2007A Refunding Certificates of Participation that refinanced the 2000 Series Certificates of Participation. Upon analyzing the results of the refunding, Bond Counsel determined that $1.1M was available to pay down principal in the affected zones. In FY 2009 and beyond, Table 1 reflects slight immaterial changes to the benefit assessment debt obligation in the four affected zones due to the refinancing.

DEBT OBLIGATION REFUNDING (2012)
In November, 2012 Valley Water refinanced the outstanding portion of the 2003A Series Certificates of Participation to take advantage of a favorable interest rate market. Valley Water realized cost savings in three of the 5 watershed zones; North Central, Central, and East. In the three affected zones, the Board determined that the best use of the savings was to increase the amount of debt while maintaining the

5.1 p. 21 of 1163
5 yearly debt service at the current level. The additional debt will be used for voter approved projects in each zone. The refinancing resulted in slight insignificant changes to the debt obligation in the three affected zones which are reflected in Table 1.

DEBT OBLIGATION REFUNDING (2017)
In March, 2017 Valley Water refinanced the outstanding portion of the 2004A and 2007A Series Certificates of Participation to take advantage of a favorable interest rate market. Valley Water realized cost savings in four of the 5 watershed zones; Northwest, North Central, Central, and East. In the four affected zones, the Board determined that the best use of the savings was to increase the amount of debt while maintaining the yearly debt service at the current level. The additional debt will be used for voter approved projects in each zone. The refinancing resulted in slight insignificant changes to the debt obligation in the four affected zones which are reflected in Table 1.

ONE TIME ADJUSTMENT TO BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DEBT OBLIGATION (2021) There was a one-time reduction in the benefit assessment debt obligation for three zones in FY 2021 as shown on Table 1. This one-time reduction was caused by $1.1M excess debt service reserve funds resulting from decreased reserve requirements identified in FY 2019. For FY 2021 only, Table 1 reflects reductions to the benefit assessment debt obligation for the North Central, Central and East zones totaling $1.1M. Table 1 also shows the End of Year Principal balance schedule in aggregate for all zones.

REDUCTION TO BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DEBT OBLIGATION (2022)
There will be a slight reduction in the benefit assessment debt obligation for three zones in FY 2023 as shown on Table 1. This slight reduction is due to utilizing $5M in debt service reserve funds that are mandated per bond covenants. These funds will cover the final 2012A Series Certificates of Participation debt service payment in FY 2024 and result in overall lower debt service payments through FY 2030. Table 1 also shows the End of Year Principal balance schedule in aggregate for all zones.

7 FLOOD CONTROL BENEFIT ASSESSMENTS

GENERAL PROVISIONS
State law allows the benefit assessments to be based on the proportionate amount of storm water runoff from each privately-owned parcel of property.

Consistent with this provision, Valley Water’s Board has, with voter approval, established five benefit assessment land use categories, A through E, for parcels assessed within Valley Water’s five flood control zones. These benefit assessment land use categories are as follows:

Land Use Category Land Use
A Commercial and industrial
B Apartments, schools, and churches
C Single family residential and small multiples (2-4 units), condominiums, and townhouses
D Vacant land presently utilized for farming, vineyards, and crops E Urban: Nonutilized agricultural land, grazing land, salt ponds, undisturbed vacant land, and parcels used exclusively as well sites located in urban areas
Rural: Non-utilized agricultural land, grazing land, undisturbed vacant land and parcels used exclusively as well sites located in rural areas
The assessment for an individual parcel in a given land use category is computed by multiplying the area of the parcel in acres by the appropriate assessment rate. If the computed assessment is less than the minimum assessment amount, the minimum assessment is used.

BENEFIT ASSESSMENT RATES FOR EACH ZONE
Each of the five flood control zones has an individual set of benefit assessment rates to meet respective debt obligations. These debt obligations, consisting of debt service payments and requirements associated with debt covenants are shown for all zones for each fiscal year in Table 1. Actual rates will be determined once annual land use information is received from the County Assessor in July. Historical rates for fiscal year 2022-23 are shown in Table 2. Expected rates for FY 2023-24 are shown in Table 3.

South Zone’s debt obligation has been paid off and therefore the expected rates are zero.

11 ASSESSMENT ROLLS AND COLLECTION
The Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 provides that benefit assessments may be levied and collected by the County Tax Collector at the same time and in the same manner as the general tax levy.

Following adoption of the benefit assessment resolution for 2023-24 and subsequent years, Valley Water will prepare a separate assessment roll identifying each parcel of land subject to flood control benefit assessment for each flood control zone. For each parcel, the roll will list the assessor parcel number, owner’s name, County land use code, Valley Water land use category, flood control zone, acreage and flood control benefit assessment based on the annual revenue requirement. This information will be available for review at Valley Water through the Clerk of the Board. Extractions from the benefit assessment roll showing parcel number and assessment amount will be forwarded to the County Tax Collector in early August to facilitate County collection of the flood control benefit assessments on the annual property tax bills.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approve an Amendment to the Agreement with SDI Presence for Information Technology (IT) Consulting
and Project Support Services
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted By: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
Prepared By: Harjot Sangha, Finance Director
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS Not Applicable

RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute an amendment to the agreement with SDI Presence for IT consulting and project services for a not to exceed the amount of $189,000, a total increase of $90,000 over the current contract amount.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In December 2022, the City entered into an agreement with SDI Presence to provide IT consulting and project-based support services for an interim period while the City conducted the recruitment process to fill the vacant IT Manager position. Staff is bringing forward an amendment to the agreement to provide continuity of services through the end of the fiscal year when the recruitment process is anticipated to be complete.

ANALYSIS
In December 2022, the City entered into an agreement with SDI Presence to provide IT consulting and project-based support services for an interim period while the City conducted the recruitment process to fill the vacant IT Manager position. The original agreement anticipated the services for approximately 12 weeks. The recruitment is in process with a candidate in the background. Pending successful clearance and

acceptance of the final offer, staff anticipates the new IT Manager to be onboard by June. As such, staff is recommending amending the agreement with SDI to provide continuity of the interim IT consulting and project-based support services through the end of the current fiscal year.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could elect not to approve the amendment to the agreement. This is not recommended, as the division has critical IT projects requiring technical expertise, oversight, and day-to-day operational support.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Staff recommends adding an additional $90,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $189,000. The contract is funded by the Information Services Fund (620). No additional appropriations are required at this time, as there are projected savings to fund the agreement adequately.

Agenda Item Title: Award the Purchase of a Type III Fire Engine in the amount of $415,672.91 Utilizing Cal Fire Tag-On
Contract No. 1-22-23-21B

RECOMMENDATION

1. Award the purchase of a Type III Fire Engine in the amount of $415,672.91 utilizing Cal Fire Tag-On Contract No. 1-22-23-21B.

2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the purchase contract documents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FY 23 budget includes the purchase of a Type III Fire Engine. Staff recommends the purchase be completed via a Cal Fire tag-on bid available to the City of Gilroy per State of California Contract No. 1-22-23-21B in the amount of $415,672.91.

BACKGROUND
The FY 23 budget includes the purchase of a Type III Fire Engine for the Gilroy Fire Department. When the budget was prepared in 2021, the plan was to obtain this apparatus by financing the purchase over five years. However, interest rates this year have not been as favorable as in past years, making this option less attractive.

0 Currently, interest rates for this type of purchase are approximately 5.5%. Given the overall cost of the vehicle and available funds in the FY 23 budget, staff is recommending purchasing the vehicle without financing.

A Type III engine provides several benefits for wildland firefighting operations. This vehicle has 4x4 off-road capabilities and can access areas that a Type I engine cannot.

The Type III engine has mobile attack capabilities (the vehicle can be driven and extinguish fire simultaneously), thus saving critical time and preventing rapid fire spread.

In addition, Type III meets the NFPA Standards for Structural Firefighting, so it can be safely and effectively used as a reserve engine if all Type I engines are out of service.

Further, the Type III engine will provide the Gilroy Fire Department with the necessary apparatus to quickly and effectively access the wildland-urban interface areas that surround Gilroy. The apparatus can also be used during the rainy season to access areas that are subject to flooding or narrow dirt roads that are inaccessible in a Type I engine.

Golden State Fire Apparatus has provided the attached proposal for the Type III Engine.

The vehicle will be built by Boise Mechanical Equipment (BME) Fire Trucks per the specifications noted in the attached proposal. The Type III is a 4x4 International Model 34 Fire Engine. Cal Fire has purchased a large quantity of these fire engines from this bid with good success. In addition, other agencies have successfully used the tag-on bid process to obtain this fire apparatus for their respective agencies due to the reputation of BME products and the competitive pricing. Tag-on bids have been completed by: the City of Seaside, Central Fire District of Santa Cruz County, North Monterey County Fire, Mariposa County Fire, Woodlake Fire District, and more.

The specifications have been reviewed by the Gilroy Fire Department to ensure that the specifications included in the proposal will meet the long-term needs of the Gilroy Fire Department. Staff recommends moving forward with the purchase. Once approved, building the Type III Fire Engine will take about 12-18 months.

This Type III fire engine will replace a current 1999 International 4x4 Type III Fire Engine that has reached/exceeded the end of its front-line use after twenty-four years of service. Best practices dictate keeping equipment in a front-line status for approximately fifteen years and then moving the apparatus to reserve status. The new Type III will provide modern equipment, safety, and reliability needed for wildland fire response.

With the new engine procurement, the current Type III will move to reserve status once the new engine is delivered and placed into service.

ALTERNATIVES
The alternative would be to do a direct public bid process; however, staff does not recommend this alternative given that the tag-on process is more efficient, secures competitive pricing, and the BME 4x4 International Model 34 Fire Engine meets the needs of the Gilroy Fire Department and has a good track record as communicated by Cal Fire.

0 FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Fund 600 (Fleet Fund) has the resources and budget appropriations necessary for this procurement. If approved, a purchase order for $415,672.91 will place the order, and funds will be paid out at the time of delivery.

NEXT STEPS
Upon Council approval, the Product Proposal document will be signed, and a purchase order will be prepared to finalize the purchase and start the build. Fire and Fleet personnel will monitor the construction of the Type III Fire Engine through delivery.

m. “Specifications” means the specifications for the Product attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit B. n. “Terms and Conditions” means these Standard Terms and Conditions, which are attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit A.

2. Purchase and Payment.
a. Purchase. Customer agrees to purchase the Product at the Grand Total Purchase Price (as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions), pursuant to the payment terms set forth in the Product Proposal. The Grand Total Purchase Price is payable in U.S. dollars. b. Contingency Reserve Fund. The Grand Total Purchase Price may include an amount to be set aside for the purpose of funding any future costs or financial obligations incurred by Customer under the Product Proposal or any valid Change Order (the “Contingency Reserve Fund”). If applicable, the amount of any required Contingency Reserve Fund will be set forth in either the Product Proposal or Exhibit D. The Contingency Reserve Fund may be withdrawn against by Customer or GSFA for the purpose of satisfying Customer’s payment obligations under the initial Product Proposal or any valid Change Order (including, without limitation, a Change Order submitted by GSFA pursuant to Section 8.b). If a Contingency Reserve Fund is required under the Agreement, the amount of such fund is not intended as an estimate of the actual additional costs of contingencies, Change Orders, unforeseen items or other required work that may be incurred under the Agreement after submission of the Product Proposal to Customer, which amounts Customer acknowledges may exceed the Contingency Reserve Fund amount. The balance of any Contingency Reserve Fund will be credited against Customer’s payment obligations, or otherwise returned to Customer within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of all Products under the Agreement (provided that Customer has paid all amounts owed under the Agreement as of such date).

8.1 p. 67 of 1163
2 c. Prepayment Discount. If GSFA has granted Customer a Prepayment Discount, Customer must provide each associated prepayment (each, a “Prepayment”) within the time frame specified in the Product Proposal in order to receive such discount. Customer’s failure to timely make such Prepayment may result in: (i) GSFA’s termination of the Agreement; and/or (ii) Customer’s loss of the Prepayment Discount for the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price represented by such outstanding Prepayment and the application of a late fee as set forth in Section 6, in each case in GSFA’s sole discretion.
d. State Sales Tax. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of state sales tax associated with, or attributable to, the Product. The taxes stated in the Product Proposal are subject to adjustment for the applicable state sales tax rate in effect at the time of delivery. Therefore, the sales tax set forth on the Product Proposal is only an estimate of such taxes and will be increased or decreased at the time of delivery if a change in the applicable sales tax rate has occurred, in which case Customer shall pay GSFA (or be refunded by GSFA) the difference in the applicable sales tax.

3. Product Completion Date. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the last required signatory executes the Product Proposal (such date, the “Executed Date”), GSFA shall submit to Customer a tentative Product completion date (which may differ from the Product completion estimate contained in the Product Proposal). Due to global supply chain constraints, any Product completion date contained herein, or in the Product Proposal, or otherwise provided to Customer, is a good faith estimate only as of the date provided to Customer, and merely an approximation based on current information available to GSFA and Manufacturer. Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any such estimate, and GSFA shall have no liability to Customer for a failure by GSFA or Manufacturer to meet any such estimate. All Product completion estimates are subject to modification and, if applicable, GSFA will provide updates to such estimates to Customer when available.

4. Stock / Demo Units. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Agreement (including Section 12 hereof concerning warranties), any Products constituting stock/demo unit(s) are sold to Customer on an as-is, first-come and first served-basis and GSFA makes no further representation or warranty to any customer with respect to such unit(s). Regardless of the terms of the Product Proposal, GSFA shall only be obligated to sell such stock/demo unit(s) to the first customer to enter into a purchase agreement with GSFA identifying such unit(s), and after the execution by GSFA of such agreement any subsequent purchase agreement (including the Agreement, as applicable) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such unit(s).

5. Multiple Unit Purchase. If the Grand Total Purchase Price includes pricing for multiple Products, the Product price stated in the Product Proposal shall only be valid if the quantity of Products being proposed are purchased at the same time, pursuant to the same Agreement. GSFA shall have no obligation to offer the same price for any Product if purchased by Customer pursuant to a later purchase agreement.

6. Late Fee; Storage Fee. A late fee equal to 0.033% of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price will be charged per calendar day for overdue payments beginning ten (10) calendar days after the payment is due and continuing for the first thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. After such thirty (30) calendar day period, the late fee shall increase to 0.044% per calendar day until payment of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price is received. If Customer is unable to satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder or is unwilling to take delivery of the Product, then GSFA shall be entitled to a storage charge running from the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery agreed to between GSFA and Customer (provided GSFA is willing and able to deliver the Product on such date), or (ii) twenty-one (21) calendar days after GSFA notifies Customer that the Product is available for delivery. The storage charge is equal to: (i) $175.00 per calendar day per apparatus stored, or (ii) the actual charges incurred by GSFA with a third party for storage of the Product, whichever is greater. Such storage charge shall continue until the actual time of delivery and Customer’s possession of the Product, and any such storage by GSFA or such third party shall be at the sole risk of Customer.

8.1 p. 68 of 1163
3 7. Delivery; Inspection and Acceptance.
a. Delivery. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Product is scheduled to be delivered to the location and within the time period specified in the Product Proposal. Such delivery date is an estimate, and GSFA is, notwithstanding this Section 7.a, not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in a separate writing to complete delivery by a date certain. For the avoidance of doubt, GSFA is not responsible for delivery delays caused by or because of actions, omissions or conduct of Customer, the Manufacturer, or their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. Risk of loss for the Product shall pass to Customer at the point and time of delivery (which shall include an attempted delivery by GSFA which cannot be completed due to any act of Customer). However, title to the Product shall only pass to Customer upon delivery if Customer has then fully paid GSFA all amounts due hereunder (including additional amounts due under any valid Change Order). Absent GSFA’s separate written agreement, which it may or may not provide in its sole and absolute discretion, delivery of the Product will not occur before Customer has fully paid all amounts due under the Agreement and provided proof of insurance reasonably satisfactory to GSFA. If GSFA permits Customer to take possession of the Product, Customer may not mount equipment, conduct training, or place the Product into service until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid. If Customer has ordered multiple Products, GSFA reserves the right to deliver such Products in installments and to separately invoice Customer for such Products.
b. Inspection and Acceptance. Upon delivery, Customer shall have ten (10) calendar days within which to inspect the Product for substantial conformance to the Specifications, and in the event of substantial nonconformance to the Specifications to furnish GSFA with written notice sufficient to permit GSFA to evaluate such non-conformance (“Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications”). Contingent upon part availability and Customer’s cooperation, any Product not in substantial conformance to material Specifications shall be remedied by GSFA (by repair or replacement, at GSFA’s election) within thirty (30) calendar days from GSFA’s receipt of the Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications. In the event GSFA does not receive a Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications within ten (10) calendar days of delivery, the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by Customer.

8. Changes to Agreement Terms.
a. Change Orders. The Customer may request that GSFA incorporate a change to the Product or the Specifications for the Product, or GSFA may submit changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (pursuant to Section 8.b or otherwise) by delivering a written Change Order to the other party hereto, which shall include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit the receiving party to evaluate the feasibility of such change (either, a “Change Order”). For any Change Order submitted by Customer, GSFA will provide Customer a written response (a “Response”) stating (i) whether GSFA will accommodate such Change Order (which GSFA may decide in its sole and absolute discretion); and (ii) the terms of the modification to the order, including any increase or decrease in the Grand Total Purchase Price resulting from such Change Order, a date on which any increase in the Grand Total Purchase Price must be paid, and an estimate of any effect on production scheduling or delivery resulting from such Change Order. Customer shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Response to notify GSFA as to whether Customer desires to make the changes GSFA has approved in the Response. In the event Customer countersigns GSFA’s Response, Customer shall pay the increase (or be refunded the decrease) in the Grand Total Purchase Price by the date specified in the Response. GSFA may also send Customer a Change Order to account for any changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (including those changes required pursuant to Section 8.b hereof), and such Change Order shall be effective upon delivery to Customer unless Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement in accordance with Section 9. b. Additional Changes.
i. Component Price Volatility. GSFA shall not be responsible for any unforeseen price increase or surcharge enacted by suppliers of major components of the Product (including but not limited to commercial chassis, engine, transmission, and fire pump) after Customer becomes bound by the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for all amounts arising from any price increases for major components of the Product (including all

8.1 p. 69 of 1163
4 associated taxes and fees thereon) occurring after the execution of the Agreement which increase the cost of the Product to GSFA, and such amounts will be documented on a Change Order adjusting the Grand Total Purchase Price accordingly. Customer shall pay any such price increase prior to Product delivery. ii. New Legal Standards. In the event the Product design, materials or specifications require an alteration arising from new regulations issued by any governmental entity or trade association, including, but not limited to, the NFPA, DOT, and EPA, and such alteration increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, Customer shall be responsible for changes to the Grand Total Purchase Price arising from such alteration. GSFA shall promptly notify Customer when it becomes aware of any potential or required change in regulations occurring prior to delivery that would impact the Product purchased.
iii. Change Orders. Customer shall execute any Change Order submitted by GSFA documenting any of the changes required or permitted by Sections 8.b.i and 8.b.ii above (which shall, to the extent practicable, itemize any increases in the Grant Total Purchase Price and specify a commercially reasonable date by which Customer must pay such increase), unless Customer instead elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of such Change Order and in accordance with Section 9.

Absent such a termination, failure to execute a Change Order does not alter Customer’s obligations under this Section 8.b.
c. Changes in Commercial Specifications. Specifications for all components of the Product manufactured by companies other than the Manufacturer are subject to change without notice. Specifications for such components will be as available at the time of manufacture of the Product. GSFA shall not be liable for any deviations in such specifications arising from a substitution of components or changes in the design of any component by their original manufacturer.

9. Termination.
a. By Customer. Customer may terminate a Product order identified in the Product Proposal or a Change Order by providing written notice to GSFA in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If Customer elects to terminate a Product order, Customer shall pay GSFA a cancellation fee as follows: (a) after the Product order is accepted and entered by GSFA, 10% of the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price applicable to such Product (including all associated taxes, fees and costs) (such amount, the “Product Purchase Price”); (b) after completion of the preconstruction phase of the order process, 20% of the Product Purchase Price; and (c) after the requisition of any materials or commencement of any manufacturing or assembly of the Product by either GSFA or Manufacturer but before substantial completion of such Product, 50% of the Product Purchase Price. Customer shall not be permitted to terminate a Product order after substantial completion of manufacturing and assembly of such Product (excluding any Dealer Preparation or other pre-delivery services or untypical Product customization, if applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable tier of cancellation fee is not sufficient to cover all actual costs and fees incurred by GSFA with Manufacturer in connection with Customer’s termination of the Product order (“Manufacturer Termination Fees”), then in addition to such cancellation fee Customer shall pay the balance of all Manufacturer Termination Fees. If Customer received a Prepayment Discount, such discount shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating the above cancellation fee. The tier of cancellation fee applicable to any cancellation, as well as the determination of whether a Product has reached substantial completion, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of GSFA. Customer may request a fee waiver, and GSFA, in its sole discretion, may agree to waive and/or adjust such fee. GSFA will return the balance of the Grand Total Purchase Price or Product Purchase Price, as applicable, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the cancellation of the Product order or termination of the Agreement.

Customer may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by GSFA after providing GSFA with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following GSFA’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as GSFA

8.1 p. 70 of 1163
5 has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable.
b. By GSFA. GSFA may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by Customer after providing Customer with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following Customer’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as Customer has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSFA may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Customer for Customer’s failure to pay any amount owed under the Agreement when due.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Customer terminates a Product order in accordance with Section 9.a above, GSFA may elect to instead terminate the Agreement upon notice to Customer in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If GSFA terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.b, Customer shall pay the applicable tier of cancellation fee for all Products pursuant to Section 9.a above as if Customer had elected to terminate each applicable Product order.

2 DETERMINATION OF APPARATUS WEIGHT
BME Fire Trucks, LLC. shall submit estimated "in-service" weight analysis required by applicable NFPA standards. This Excel computer weight analysis shall break down all major components of the apparatus and shall show the impact on percentage-of-load on the front and rear axles, total weight, and weight on each tire set.

The analysis shall evenly distribute the NFPA required minimum payload allowance or estimated equipment payload as provided by the purchaser into the specified compartments. The allowance for personnel, hose loads, water and foam fluids, and required NFPA equipment shall be outlined individually in the analysis and placed on the apparatus in its specific intended position.

CENTER-OF-GRAVITY ANALYSIS
BME Fire Trucks, LLC. shall perform an estimated center of gravity calculation as required by the applicable section of NFPA standards. This calculation shall include tilt angles, the estimated right to left load distribution, and load on each axle, including all specified major components.

LOW VOLTAGE TEST REQUIRMENTS
The fire apparatus low voltage electrical system shall be tested as required by this section and the test results shall be certified by the apparatus manufacturer. The certification shall be delivered to the purchaser with the documentation for the completed apparatus. The tests shall be performed when the air temperature is between 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

TEST SEQUENCE
The three tests defined below shall be performed in the order in which they appear. Before each test, the chassis batteries shall be fully charged until the voltage stabilizes at the voltage regulator set point and the lowest charge current is maintained for 10 minutes. The failure of any of these tests shall require a repeat of the test sequence.

RESERVE CAPACITY TEST
The chassis engine shall be started and kept running until the chassis engine and engine compartment temperatures are stabilized at normal operating temperatures and the chassis battery system is fully charged. The chassis engine shall be shut off and the minimum continuous electrical load shall be applied for 10 minutes. All electrical loads shall be turned off prior to attempting to restart the chassis engine. The chassis battery system shall then be capable of restarting the chassis engine. The failure to restart the chassis engine shall be considered a failure of this test.

ALTERNATOR PERFORMANCE TEST AT IDLE

BME Fire Trucks LLC
10026-0006 04/07/23
3 The minimum continuous electrical load shall be applied with the chassis engine running at idle speed. The chassis engine temperature shall be stabilized at normal operating temperature. The chassis battery system shall be tested to detect the presence of a chassis battery current discharge. The detection of chassis battery current discharge shall be considered a failure of this test.

ALTERNATOR PERFORMANCE TEST AT FULL LOAD
The total continuous electrical load shall be applied with the chassis engine running up to the engine manufacturer’s governed speed. The test duration shall be a minimum of two hours. The activation of the electrical system load management system shall be permitted during this test. The activation of an alarm due to excessive chassis battery discharge, as detected by the system required by NFPA (current edition), or an electrical system voltage of less than 11.8 volts direct current for a 12 volt direct current nominal system, for more than 120 seconds, shall be considered a failure of this test.

LOW VOLTAGE ALARM TEST
Following the completion of the tests described above, the chassis engine shall be turned off. With the chassis engine turned off, the total continuous electrical load shall be applied and shall continue to be applied until the excessive battery discharge alarm activates. The chassis battery voltage shall be measured at the battery terminals.

The test shall be considered to be a failure if the low voltage alarm has not yet sounded 140 seconds after the voltage drops to 11.70 volts direct current for a 12 volt direct current nominal system. The chassis battery system shall then be able to restart the chassis engine. The failure of the chassis battery system to restart the chassis engine shall be considered a failure of this test.

The completed fire apparatus shall undergo a complete 12 volt electrical load and performance testing per applicable sections of NFPA standards with inspection and test sheets included in delivery documentation.
