On May 8, 2023, this City Council (the “Council”) adopted a resolution entitled “A Resolution of Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and a Future Annexation Area” (the “Resolution of Intention”), and has conducted proceedings (the “Proceedings”) to establish “City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-1 (Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Services)” (the “CFD”) and a future annexation area (the “Future Annexation Area”) pursuant to the Act to finance certain municipal services (the “Services) as provided in the Act.
Pursuant to notice as specified in the Act, and as part of the Proceedings, the Council has held a public hearing under the Act relative to the determination to proceed with the formation of the CFD and the Future Annexation Area and a rate and method of apportionment of the special tax (the “Special Tax”) to be levied within the CFD to finance the Services, and at such hearing all persons desiring to be heard on all matters pertaining to the formation of the CFD and the Future Annexation Area and the levy of the Special Tax were heard, substantial evidence was presented and considered by this Council and a full and fair hearing was held.
Upon the conclusion of the hearing, this Council adopted its “A Resolution of Formation of a Community Facilities District and Future Annexation Area” (the “Resolution of Formation), pursuant to which it completed the Proceedings for the establishment of the CFD and the Future Annexation Area, the authorization of the levy of the Special Tax within the CFD, and the calling of an election within the CFD on the propositions of levying the Special Tax and establishing an appropriations limit within the CFD.
On June 12, 2023, a special election was held among the landowner voters within the CFD at which such voters approved such propositions by the two-thirds vote required by the Act, which approval has been confirmed by resolution of this Council.

The Special Tax is hereby levied commencing in fiscal year 2023-24 and in each fiscal year thereafter to pay for the Services for the CFD, as contemplated by the Resolution of Formation and the Proceedings, and all costs of administering the CFD.
Section 2. Direction to Determine Special Tax . The City Manager or designee, or an employee or consultant of the City, is hereby authorized and directed each fiscal year to determine the specific Special Tax to be levied for the next ensuing fiscal year for each parcel of real property within the CFD (including any parcel or parcels in the Future Annexation Area that annex into the CFD), in the manner and as provided in the Resolution of Formation.
Section 3. Exemptions; Maximum Special Tax. Exemptions from the levy of the Special Tax shall be as provided in the Resolution of Formation and the applicable provisions of the Act. In no event shall the Special Tax be levied on any parcel within the CFD in excess of the maximum Special Tax specified in the Resolution of Formation.
Section 4. Use of Special Tax. All of the collections of the Special Tax shall be used as provided in the Act and in the Resolution of Formation, including, but not limited to, the payment of costs of the Services, the payment of the costs of the City in administering the CFD, and the costs of collecting and administering the Special Tax.
Section 5. Collection of Special Tax. The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem taxes are collected and shall have the same lien priority and be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in cases of delinquency as provided for ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the Council may provide for other appropriate methods of collection by resolution(s) of the Council.
The City Manager of the City (or a designee) is hereby authorized and directed to provide all necessary information to the auditor/tax collector of the County of Alameda in order to effect proper billing and collection of the Special Tax, so that the Special Tax shall be included on the secured property tax roll of the County of Alameda for fiscal year 2023-24 and for each fiscal year thereafter until no longer required to pay for the Services or until otherwise terminated by the City.
Section 6. Severability. If, for any reason, any portion of this Ordinance is found to be invalid, or if the Special Tax is found inapplicable to any particular parcel within the CFD, by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this Ordinance and the application of the Special Tax to the remaining parcels within the CFD shall not be affected.

FROM:
Scott Lanphier, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of an agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., for the Water Resources Division’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Network Upgrade Project, for a two-year term, in an amount not-to-exceed $296,954 and authorizing the City Manager to approve equipment procurement in an amount not-to- exceed $120,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .
Authorizing the execution of an agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs), in an amount not-to-exceed $296,954 for Professional Services for the Water Resources Division’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Network Upgrade Project, and 2 .
Authorizing the City Manager to approve all the equipment procurement for this project in an amount of not-to-exceed $120,000.
SUMMARY
The Water Resources Division (WRD) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Master Plan identified several different system improvement projects aimed at increasing reliability and resiliency of the system. One project will replace existing network cables and equipment to establish reliable SCADA system communications. Staff have selected Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) to perform the following services: network design, construction support, and system cutover.
DISCUSSION
In August 2020, the City retained Jacobs to develop a SCADA Master Plan that would improve the reliability and resiliency of the City's SCADA system. This Master Plan consists of a system improvement plan and two sets of improvement standards. The selection of the consultant was based on a review of the summary of qualifications submitted in 2019. Jacobs delivered the improvement plan in April 2021. During project development, the team took into consideration industry trends with the greatest potential to meet the selected operations and maintenance goals. In addition, the project team established prioritization and schedule criteria. Major component replacements are prioritized based on 38 life-cycle obsolescence and criticality to the SCADA system, as follows: servers, networks, Water Reclamation Plant Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and remote site (e.g., pump stations) PLCs.
The implementation plan identified seven projects over four years. In February 2022, the City contracted with Jacobs to replace the SCADA servers as the first project (Server Project). This project will be completed by early 2024. Meanwhile, the second project, known as WRP Network Upgrade Project (Network Project), can start in parallel with the first project. The Network Project will replace multi-mode fiber-optic cables and unmanaged switches to establish reliable SCADA system communications.
Jacobs’s service covers the system design, configuration, construction support, testing, and commissioning. Jacobs provides this full-package service to many other agencies. Through the Master Plan and Server Projects, Jacobs has come to understand the City’s system and needs and has performed well. As a result, this project can be more efficiently and effectively executed by Jacobs, with less required lead time than would be needed for a new consultant.
City staff will directly procure the equipment identified by Jacobs during the design phase. The estimated equipment cost is $120,000.
Staff will bid out the installation of the fiber itself and the City-procured equipment at a future date.
Jacobs’s scope during the Network Project includes three major tasks:
Task 1: Network Design
The network design task includes development of the following deliverables:
SCADA Network Architecture.
Bid package (drawings and specifications) for fiber optic construction.
Cost estimates for the new network construction.
A Bill of Materials and cost estimates for network equipment procurement.
Task 2: Network Installation
During the network installation, Jacobs will perform the following tasks:
Construction management of the fiber-optic contractor.
Confirmation of the new fiber optic connectivity.
Network switch configuration and lab-based factory testing.
Preliminary cutover planning.
Task 3: Network Cutover
During the network cutover, Jacobs will perform the following tasks:
Conduct field testing.
Review the cutover plan and fallback procedures in preparation for network cutover.
Execute the cutover plan in conjunction with City staff.
Provide training, and operation and maintenance manuals.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Staff do not anticipate any fiscal or administrative impacts due to the approval of this agreement and procurement. This project is included in the proposed Capital Improvement Program Budget as Capital Improvement Project No. 202129 (WRP SCADA Server and Network Update) with funding spread 39 across FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. Funding for this project will come from the Wastewater Replacement Fund 239 and Sewer Connection Fee Fund 241.

1. Project Understanding
The City of Livermore Public Works Department Water Resources Division (Livermore, WRD) receiv es treated water from Zone 7 Water Agency, and is responsible for water distribution, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management. WRD uses a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor and control the WRD Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), four wastewater lift stations, three stormwater lift stations, and the water distribution system (including five pump stations and three reservoir sites). The SCADA system and the data it collects are critical to supporting operations and regulatory reporting functions.
In August 2020, WRD contracted with Jacobs to develop a SCADA Master Plan that consists of an implementation plan, convention standards, and component standards. Jacobs delivered the final implementation plan on April 30, 2021. The implementation plan identified seven projects over four years to upgrade and replace the WRD SCADA system.
1) Replace Servers
2) Upgrade WRP Network
3) Upgrade WRP Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
4) Replace WRP PLCs
5) Evaluate Serial Radios
6) Upgrade Remote Site PLCs
7) Replace Remote Site PLCs
In February 2022, WRD contracted with Jacobs to replace the SCADA servers, also referred to as Operations Technology (OT). This project replaces obsolete server hardware and software to establish a relia ble platform for SCADA applications and subsequent SCADA system upgrade projects.
The WRP Network Upgrade Project will replace multi-mode fiber-optic cables and unmanaged switches to establish a self-healing ring topology for reliable SCADA system communications.

2. Description of Services
The proposed approach to upgrading the WRP network includes four tasks:
1) SCADA Network Design
2) WRP Network Development/Testing
3) WRP Network Installation/Cutover
4) Project Management
2.1 Task 1 - SCADA Network Design
The SCADA network design task includes development of the following:
• SCADA Network Architecture, based on ring topology with self -healing capabilities to be used for local and remote sites connectivity
• specifications and drawings (a bid package for a fiber optic installation contractor) and cost estimates for fiber-optic cabling, termination panels, and testing in the WRP • a Bill of Materials (BOM) and cost estimates for product procurement (managed network switches (1GB minimum), etc.)
Both the fiber-optic network design and the managed network switch selections will be based on NIST Guidance (800-82 Rev 2, 800-53 Rev 4). Following NIST guidelines will minimize single points of failure, maximize cyber protection against “Man in the Middle” network interception attacks, and maximize physical protection with tamper resistance and detection technologies. Following NIST guidelines Jacobs will assist with developing and deployment of configuration standards for hardening SCADA network switches.
Subtask 1.1 – Kickoff Meeting and Site Investigation
Jacobs will review the draft network diagram developed in the SCADA Server Replacement Project. A kickoff (1 hour) meeting will be held to review the objectives of the project with all Livermore stakeholders, followed by a site investigation that includes access to computers, network performance monitors current available storage, and network switch configurations accompanied by appropriate WRD staff.
Subtask 1.2 – Develop Network Architecture:
Jacobs will facilitate Workshop #1 with WRD and IT staff to develop a new network architecture for the SCADA system, including external access connectivity. Topics will include network media (fiber optic, radios, etc.), network switches, redundancy and resiliency, cybersecurity (firewalls and endpoint protection), and cost-benefits of all major components (hardware, software, and media). The architecture design assumes an upgrade to single mode fiber cables, a self-healing fiber ring at the WRP, backup connections to remote sites, and cybersecurity features based on NIST 800 standards and the Purdue model for industrial control systems (ICS). Jacobs will document the workshop results in a draft technical memorandum (TM) that describes WRD’s SCADA network architecture (maximum of 5 drawings) and includes a draft cost-benefit analysis of architecture options.
Subtask 1.3 – Design WRP Network:
Jacobs will facilitate Workshop #2 with WRD and IT staff to design the new WRP network based on the results of Workshop #1. The design will focus on the fiber optic backbone at the WRP and connectivity security for future external access. Future external access includes Livermore business IT applications, remote sites, and operator remote access. Future external access will be provided by others and is not included in this project. Jacobs will document the workshop results in:
▪ a biddable document set (90% design) for fiber optic cable installation, termination, and testing , including UPS power requirements and sizing for all new network equipment, electrical plans, riser diagrams and details for new conduit or panel installations (maximum of 20 drawings).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE:
June 26, 2023
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Scott Lanphier, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of an agreement with Terracare Associates for landscape maintenance services for five years
with an option for one five-year extension,
in an amount not-to-exceed $1,150,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing execution of an agreement with Terracare Associates for landscape maintenance services at the Sage Community Facilities District 2016-1 and for the Shea Business Center and Shea Center Montage Landscape Maintenance Districts, for five years with an option for one five-year extension, in an amount not-to-exceed $1,150,000.
SUMMARY
Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for landscape maintenance services at the Sage Community Facilities District 2016-1 and for the Shea Business Center and Shea Center Montage Landscape Maintenance Districts. Staff have completed their review of the five proposals received and is recommending Terracare Associates (Terracare) as the best value bidder.
DISCUSSION
The Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department is tasked with providing landscape maintenance services for the following assessment districts: Sage Community Facilities District (CFD) 2016-1, Shea Business Center Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) 821, and Shea Center Montage LMD 857.
In order to facilitate this, staff issued a Request for Proposals on April 19, 2023, soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide landscape maintenance services in the CFD and LMDs. The RFP requested a standard monthly cost for maintaining specified facilities, as well as additional hourly rates should extra work be necessary. The proposals included the service providers’ qualifications and standard monthly rates. The work includes standard landscape maintenance activities, annual weed abatement, irrigation inspections and repairs, and litter removal.
107
Five service providers submitted proposals and three of them were responsive. The proposal from Prado’s Landscaping did not provide the requested information and was deemed unresponsive.
Bayscape provided a responsive proposal, but their representative was 15 minutes late to the mandatory pre-proposal conference and tour. They missed the entirety of the mandatory conference and this disqualifies Bayscape’s proposal from review.
Staff utilized a multi-step process in determining which landscape maintenance company represented the best value as defined by Livermore Municipal Code (LMC) 2.68.040. Staff recommends that the City Council award an agreement to Terracare as the best value and reject all other bids. Terracare is the lowest bid and represents the best value to the City for landscape maintenance services based on total price, qualifications, experience, and overall quality of proposal. Terracare has a demonstrated record of providing quality service to public agencies, and has the knowledge, expertise, and staffing to meet the needs of the City of Livermore.
The three responsive proposals were as follows:
• Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. - $8,413 per month • Frank + Grossman - $8,456 per month
• Terracare - $7,795 per month
The term of the agreement will be five years with an option for one five-year extension. The total anticipated cost for this agreement is approximately $115,000 per year; with the base price for routine maintenance totaling $95,000 per year, and an additional $20,000 available for additional work as conditions require. The total not-to-exceed cost for a five year term with an option for one five-year extension in an amount not to exceed $1,150,000.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The funding for this agreement is provided by the following assessment districts: Sage CFD 2016-1, Shea Business Center LMD 821, and Shea Center Montage LMD 857. Sufficient funding for this agreement is currently budgeted on an ongoing basis.
