RODEO-HERCULES FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM
Date: October 26, 2022
To: Board of Directors
From: Darren Johnson, Interim Fire Chief
Subject: Adoption of 2022 Fire Code
QUESTION
Shall the Board of Directors adopt by reference the most recent edition of the model California Fire Code as adopted and amended by the State of California (and further amended based on local conditions) for use in the Rodeo-Hercules Fire District, repeal existing sections not applicable to new codes and modify the Rodeo-Hercules Fire District Fire Code to reflect the new model code?
BACKGROUND
1. Every 3 years the State of California updates the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (CCR-T24), through the State code adoption cycle. The State of California adopts and publishes amendments to national model codes and updates codes specific to California during this cycle. Such model codes with State amendments and California specific codes go into effect in every City and County in the State of California 180 days after publication. The new 2022 CCR-T24 were published in July of 2022. The Health and Safety Code allows local jurisdictions to change or modify the State-adopted model codes based on local geologic, climatic, or topographic conditions.
2. Government Code section 50022.3 identifies the procedure for the adoption process of codes that established the requirement for first reading of the ordinance title and establishment of the public hearing date.
ANALYSIS
In January 2021, the State of California Building Standards Commission adopted many of these codes with amendments and published them as California codes. The new California Code of Regulations, Title 24, was published in July 2022. The codes adopted by the Building Standards Commission go into effect 180 days after publication by the State and must be enforced by each City and County. The State also adopted in January 2021 the following California codes specific to California: California Fire Code.
333
Local jurisdictions may amend the codes only if determined reasonably necessary because of local topographic, geologic, or climatic conditions.
1. Staff participated in a Fire Prevention Panel, composed of county-wide prevention officers, to create a consensus document to be utilized by cities and fire districts throughout Contra Costa County in an effort to ensure uniformity in requirements.
2. The more significant adaptions include, but are not limited to, the following:
amendments and administrative changes previously established in the Rodeo- Hercules Fire District Fire Code, but that now have revised code section numbers; inserts a clarification of the appeals process so that a Board of Appeals is established to hear and decide appeals of orders and the Board of Appeals shall be comprised of the Board of Directors; amends definitions; general precautions against fires and clarifies the fire sprinkler requirements applicable to substantial additions, remodels, alterations or repairs by incorporating language from the consensus document .
3. Staff has reviewed the new codes adopted by the State of California and prepared the ordinance for adoption of these codes with amendments into the Rodeo-Hercules Fire District Fire Code.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Directors (1) introduce an Ordinance adopting by reference the 2022 California Fire Code with local amendments; and (2) set a public hearing date on November 9, 2022 for adoption of the Ordinance.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor Walker-Griffin and Members of the City Council
VIA: Dante Hall, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Michael Roberts, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Hercules Hub – Project Update, Contract Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $115,579 for Gray-Bowen-Scott to prepare a Federal- State Partnership for Intercity Rail Grant and Appropriation of $115,579 from the Capital Reserve Fund to fully fund said Amendment, Resolution of Support for a Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program Grant, and Designation of $3M of Capital Reserve Funding for the Project
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
It is recommended the City Council receive an update on the Hercules Hub and adopt resolutions:
1) Approving Amendment No.1 to Gray -Bowen-Scott’s contract in the amount of $115,579 to prepare a Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Rail Grant for a total, not to exceed contract amount of $590,332 and an appropriation of $115,579 from the Capital Reserve Fund to fully fund said amendment; and 2) Approving a resolution of support for the filing of a joint Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program Grant with the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) as the lead agency; and
3) Designating $3M of Capital Reserve Funding as the City’s local match for future grants to fully fund the Hercules Hub Project.
FISCAL IMPACT OF RECOMMENDATION:
At the January 10, 2023, meeting, City Council allocated $5.5M to the Capital Reserve Fund for future infrastructure improvements, including the Hercules Hub Project. At that meeting, it was also discussed that the preliminary FY 22-23 available General Fund cash balance was $3.9M. In accordance with Council fiscal policy, 50% or approximately $1.95M of this surplus funding would also be allocated to the Capital Reserve Fund. The $115,579 for the Contract Amendment and $3M set aside as a match for future grants would be funded utilizing a portion of these Capital Reserve monies.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Hercules Hub (The Hub) will create a regional, state -of-the-art housing and transportation community on the waterfront overlooking the San Pablo Bay. The Hub will connect thousands of housing units with a new train stop along the Capitol Corridor, bicycle 347
and pedestrian pathways, bus routes, carpool options, and ferry service. To date, this new facility boasts $46M in capital improvements, and the City is fully engaged in securing the funding needed to design and construct the remaining infrastructure that will allow the Capitol Corridor train to serve the Hub. This grant funding is secured through the development and implementation of a Project Funding Plan, which will be presented tonight.
In accordance with said Plan, the following steps are recommended to advance the Hercules Hub:
Execute an amendment with GBS to prepare a Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Rail Program grant application for design phase funding. Support a joint “Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program” (TIRCP) grant application for the Project’s design phase, with CCJPA as the lead applicant. Designate $3M of Capital Reserve Funding for the Hercules Hub as the City’s local match for future grants to fully fund the Project.
DISCUSSION:
As one of the City’s top priorities, the Hercules Hub will achieve the vision of the Hercules Bayfront as a model transit-oriented community for the Bay Area and beyond. The Hub will connect thousands of homes with a new train stop along the Capitol Corridor, bicycle and pedestrian pathways, bus routes, carpool options, and future ferry service. The Project would relieve congestion on I-80 and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions. It also provides the community of Rodeo, an Equity Priority Community, with an easy sub-10-minute bike ride to the regional rail station via the Bay Trail.
The Project has NEPA and CEQA approvals and the City has completed the first three construction phases. In 2019, the City and the GBS team succeeded in advancing the Let’s Get I-80 Moving initiative, which resulted in the Capital Corridor Joint Powers Authority’s decision to grant Candidate Station Status to the Hub in Hercules. In 2020, the City completed the interim bus improvements on Bayfront Boulevard to allow buses to serve the area.
The next three phases to be implemented are the utility relocations, the track and platform improvements, and the station work. There is currently a unique window of opportunity to pursue grant funding for the completion of the Hub as an unprecedented amount of federal and state grant funding for pandemic relief, economic stimulus, and infrastructure investment is becoming available on a competitive basis. Having received approximately $46M, the Hub is highly competitive and continues to score well on grant criteria.
In August 2022, the City hired GBS for continued services to advance the Hub for grant funding and project readiness. This staff report will update the Project’s progress and recommend actions to secure phase funding.
Progress to Date
The team rebranded the Project to The Hercules Hub and updated the Project messaging to highlight its alignment with the Bay Area’s focus on investing in transit- oriented communities. A new logo and messaging capture the realized and potential housing and employment development at the site, communicating the benefits and features of the Project to gain support from elected officials, commission members, opinion leaders, and the general community. The team produced outreach materials with the new brand and messaging including an update to the City’s project webpage and a leave-behind brochure.
348
The team has continued to focus on developing the Project’s funding plan. Several meetings with staff at MTC, CCTA and CCJPA aided in refining applicable Federal, State, and Regional grants for which the Project would be competitive. As part of the funding plan development, the team has escalated the Project cost estimate to the year of expenditure as is required by funding agencies. The team will present the updated Project Cost and associated Funding Plan details tonight, including near- term recommendations to pursue design phase funding.
The team identified a current opportunity to apply for design phase funding through the State’s “Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program” (TIRCP). The team has been working closely with Jim Allison, Manager of Planning at CCJPA, to develop a joint application that includes multiple station projects and two planning projects. As they have successfully done in the past with joint applications, CCJPA would be the lead applicant with the various project sponsors as partner agencies. Applications are due on February 10, 2023, and awards are expected to be announced in April 2023. This arrangement has grant awards for every CCJPA application in the previous cycles of the TIRCP. The team recently met with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), who awards the grants, to discuss competitiveness of the joint application.
A key outcome of the meeting was that CalSTA staff indicated that a joint application with the identified projects could be a strategic way to expand eligibility into multiple categories of TIRCP funding. The adoption of a resolution of support is a requirement for the City to be eligible to apply jointly with CCJPA for a TIRCP grant. The team and CCJPA have been working to reengage Union Pacific Railroad (UP) in the project’s design review process. This has been a challenge for the project to navigate as project delivery procedures and standards have changed at CCJPA and UP over the last several years. Having acknowledged the long history of the project and their previous engagement, the UP has rece ntly outlined a proposed path forward for the final design of the project that includes a series of exceptions to their standard practice and is valid only for the Hub project. The team will be working with CCJPA to move the project forward in collaboration.
As part of the Funding Plan, staff recommends the following for consideration by the Council:
Support for a joint “Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program” ( TIRCP) grant application for the Project’s design phase, with CCJPA as the lead applicant. Authorization to execute an amendment with GBS to prepare a Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Rail Program grant application for design phase funding. Allocation of $3M of Capital Reserve Funding for the Hercules Hub as the City’s local match for future grants to fully fund the Project.
Next Steps:
The Project Team anticipates the following crucial activities over the next few months:
The team will prepare and submit a joint TIRCP grant application with CCJPA for design phase funding.
The team will prepare and submit a grant application for the Federal -State Partnership for Intercity Rail for design phase funding. The team will confirm Project eligibility and, if eligible, apply for One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) 3 Regional Hub grant.
349
The team will develop a branded, cutting-edge Project webpage accessible via the City’s existing website.
The team will hold Project expenditures to the necessary minimum while awaiting word on awards from the grant applications.

Dear Mr. Hall:
Gray‐Bowen‐Scott (GBS) appreciates the opportunity to continue assisting the City of Hercules with the Hercules Hub Project. Over the last few months, GBS has been working closely with city staff and key project stakeholders, inclu
ding MTC, CCTA and CCJPA, to develop a funding plan to secure funding for the remaining elements of the project. This funding plan will be presented to City Council on January 24, 2023. Two promising near‐term grant applications have been identified by the collective team to fund the desig
n phase of the project: State Transit and Intercity Capital Rail Program (TIRCP) and the Federal‐ State Partnership for Intercity Rail Program. The GBS team is currently scoped under our current contract to develop a TIRCP grant application and the effort is well underway.
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rel eased the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Federal State Partnership for Intercity Rail Program on December 7, 2022, and the grant application is due on March 7, 2023. This program provides funding for capital projects that reduce the state of good repair backlog, improve performance, or expand or establish new in tercity passenger rail service. The total funding available for award from this program cycle is over $2.3B, the majority of which is new funding appropriations from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
At your request, GBS is pleased to furnish you with the attached amendment request to prepare a grant application for the 2023 cycl
e of the Federal State Partnership for Intercity Rail Program. The contract would compensate the consultant and all subconsultants on a time and materials basis, so if the cost to perform the work is not as high as the estimated amount, the cost to the City would be less than shown.
Thank you for
the opportunity to present this proposal. GBS is prepared to make a commitment of time and treat this project as a priority. If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me.
GBS appreciates the opportunity to continu e assisting the City of Hercules in the effort to secure full funding to construct the Hub and bring new intercity rail service to Hercules.
Very truly yours,
Leo Scott

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of January 24, 2023
TO: Mayor Walker-Griffin and Members of the City Council
VIA: Dante Hall, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Michael Roberts, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Award of an Annual Janitorial Services Contract to Kleen-Tech in the Amount of $150,504 Annually for City Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an annual contract with Kleen- Tech in the amount of $150,504 per year for janitorial services for City facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this contract was included in the Facilities Maintenance Fund in the FY 22-23 Adopted Budget. It will supplant the current $21,862 annual contract with Trinity Building Services which provides janitorial services for City Hall and the Police Department Administration/Patrol. Public Works staff who currently perform janitorial duties at other City facilities which will be covered by this contract will be reassigned to backlogged facility maintenance work. Their level of effort and department priorities will be evaluated moving forward and any proposed changes in assignment to other functional areas (i.e. sewer, street, landscaping, etc..) will be addressed as part of the FY 23-24 annual budget process to capture any changes in the Department’s employee cost allocation. Staffing of part-time workers in the Parks and Recreation Department who perform janitorial work will be evaluated and adjusted as appropriate to account for the provision of this service.
DISCUSSION:
A Request For Proposal (RFP) for janitorial services was advertised in the West County Times on September 26 and October 3, 2022 , and in 5 regional plan rooms. Three proposals were received by the due date of October 18, 2022, as shown in the table below:
No. Proposal Name
Proposal Amount
1 Kleen Tech $202,388
2 UBS $235,230
3 Karla’s Janitorial $240,120
373
Kleen Tech’s proposal was significantly lower in cost than the other 2 received, so staff proceeded to check their references, which were very positive. Kleen Tech has been in business since 1993, have over 1,500 employees, currently serve other public agencies, and while they are headquartered in Colorado they have managers situated in the region who perform on-site quality assurance/quality control and can meet regularly City staff to discuss their company’s performance.
Given the budget amount of $150K for this work, City staff proceeded to negotiate with Kleen Tech to reduce their cost. This was accomplished by reducing the janitorial service from 7 days a week to 5 days a week in the Senior Center and Community Center. Additionally, the Corp Yard, Ohlone Community Center, Foxboro Community Center, and Samara Terrace were removed from their proposal and will continue to be serviced by City staff.
Lastly, after discussing the City’s facilities in detail with staff, Kleen Tech lowered their cost at the Senior Center and Community Center significantly in order to meet the budgeted amount (Att #2).
Kleen Tech’s revised proposal will provide full janitorial services to the most utiliz ed City facilities including City Hall, Police Department Administration/Patrol, Senior Center, Library, Community Center, Swim Center, Teen Center, Hanna Ranch Kidz Center, Lupine Kidz Center, and Ohlone Kidz Center (Att #3). Given current staffing levels in Public Works and competing priorities associated with the broad span of responsibility of the Department, awarding a contract to Kleen Tech will ensure there are dedicated resources to consistently perform janitorial work while providing capacity for City staff to relieve backlogged facility maintenance work and the flexibility to reassign resources when needed, such as storm response.
