CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE:
May 13, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing approval of a cooperative implementation agreement with Caltrans that defines the terms for the City to install two trash capture devices at Southfront Lane and the Southern Conveyance Facility and to receive up to $1,480,000 in reimbursements from Caltrans as part of 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-25.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative implementation agreement with Caltrans that defines the terms for the City to install two trash capture devices at Southfront Lane and the Southern Conveyance Facility and to receive up to
$1,480,000 in reimbursements from Caltrans
as part of 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-
25. SUMMARY
The 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-25 involves the installation of 8 large-scale trash capture devices at various locations across the City of Livermore (City). These trash capture devices will help the City meet the trash reduction requirement in the City's Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit administered by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Caltrans is also tasked with meeting trash reduction requirements and reached out to the City to see if any of the devices in our project also treat runoff from Caltrans's right-of-way. Two of the devices in the City's project treat significant portions of Caltrans runoff and qualify for Caltrans reimbursements. This cooperative implementation agreement with Caltrans lays out the terms for the City to install these devices and receive reimbursements from Caltrans. Attachment 1 shows the locations of the two devices associated with the agreement.
DISCUSSION
The City's Regional Water Quality Control Board Regional Stormwater Permit requires 100% trash reduction by June 30, 2025. In order to achieve this, the City needs to install 8 large-scale trash capture 142
devices in 2025. These devices will reduce the amount of trash washed into creeks during storm events.
The trash capture devices will be installed as part of the 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-
25. On January 23, 2024, the City entered into an agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler Consultant Engineers to provide professional design services for the 2024 Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-25.
Caltrans reviewed the preliminary design plans prepared by Schaaf and Wheeler and agrees that two of the devices proposed in the project treat a significant amount of runoff from Caltrans's right-of-way.
Caltrans then had the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board review the proposed plans as well in order to give their conceptual concurrence on the design.
With this agreement, Caltrans will be able to receive credits for the runoff treated by two of the City's devices and will reimburse the City for the cost to construct these devices. Allowing Caltrans to receive runoff credit has no impact on the amount of credits the City is expected to receive from this project. The City will own and maintain the trash capture devices installed with this project.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Storm Drain Trash Capture Project 2024-25 has a total budget of $8,000,000 in Fiscal Years 2023- 24 and 2024-25 in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan. The budget covers all project expenses including design, construction, project management, inspection, and materials testing. The project is funded 75% with Storm Water (Fund 220) and 25% with Storm Drain (Fund 221). This cooperative implementation agreement will authorize Caltrans to reimburse the City up to $1,480,000 for the installation of two trash capture devices that treat portions of Caltrans runoff. The City will receive this reimbursement upon completion of the project. This reimbursement will reduce the final City funded expenditures from an estimated $8,000,000 down to $6,520,000.

5. For NPDES Permit compliance, CALTRANS will claim acreage-based PCB and Mercury credit from the Caltrans area treated by the PROJECT for pollutant waste load reductions granted by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board for the PROJECT. CALTRANS intends to use the acreage-based PROJECT waste load reductions to demonstrate equivalent load reductions required to meet its TMDL waste load allocations.
6. Cooperative implementation has the following advantages: cooperative implementation (i) allows for water quality improvement projects off the ROW, at locations that may otherwise have space, access, or safety limitations within the ROW; (ii) provides for the involvement of local watershed partners who have an interest and expertise in the best way to protect, manage, and enhance water quality in the watershed; (iii) allows for implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other creative solutions not typically available to CALTRANS; (iv) allows for larger watershed-scale projects; and (v) leverages resources from other entities.

SCOPE SUMMARY
City of Livermore Water Capture Project
Introduction
Trash capture device 6000 (TCD 6000) will capture runoff from 78.9 acres of the city of Livermore and 2.3 acres from Caltrans, of which 2.3 acres are Significant Trash Generating Areas (STGAs). The project is located at the outlet control structure for the El Charro development hydromodification basin #1, which is located east and adjacent to El Charro Road, South of W. Jack London Boulevard, north of Arroyo Las Positas, and west of Livermore Outlets Drive (see Figure 1).
Background
The city of Livermore is located in Alameda County and as such is subject to the requirements contained in the second five-year term of the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Board (Board).
The city is required to comply with section C.10 of the MRP which requires the removal of trash from the city’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) before it discharges to the receiving water bodies. Specifically, the city must capture debris greater than 0.5 mm in runoff from trash generating areas for the 1-year 1-hour storm event. Trash generating areas were mapped for the city to develop the baseline trash generation for the city and reported to the Board. The city is required to capture 100% of trash generating areas by June 30, 2025.
Proposed Project
TCD 6000 (Figure 1 Figure 1and Figure 2) will be installed at the outlet control structure for the El Charro development hydromodification basin #1, which is located east and adjacent to El Charro Road, South of W. Jack London Boulevard, north of Arroyo Las Positas, and west of Livermore Outlets Drive. The TCD is located near the boundary of the City of Livermore with the City of Pleasanton. Two potential alternatives for this location are: 1) louvered panels (5- millimeter) installed at an angle along a concrete channel intake for the outlet control structure 2) a connector pipe screen (CPS) unit installed on the 36” outflow pipe of the outlet control structure.
All dry-weather urban runoff and the first flows of wet-weather runoff will be conveyed to TCD 6000, from the area adjacent to eastbound I-580 and El charro Road and the commercial area east of El Charro Road. TCD 6000 will be an approved Full Capture System (FCS) device that will remove trash and debris before discharging to Arroyo Las Positas.
EXHIBIT A
159
2 Figure 1: Project Vicinity
The project will involve an evaluation of the current outlet control structure and hydraulic design to ensure the design flow rates will still be able to be conveyed with the proposed modifications to the outlet control structure.
The site would capture discharges from a tributary area of approximately 78.9 acres (see Figure 2). The drainage area is split between three jurisdictions: the City of Livermore, Caltrans, and the City of Pleasanton. Caltrans tributary area includes discharge from approximately 2.3 acres of I- 580 drainage (of which 2.3 acres are STGA).
The project involves initial engineering, boundary research, utility locating, detailed design, environmental compliance, and installation of the TCD. The City of Livermore will file a CEQA Categorical exemption for the site. It is assumed that environmental permitting will not be required at this location.
The project will include a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Livermore for the long-term operation and maintenance of the constructed water capture facility.

SCOPE SUMMARY
City of Livermore Water Capture Project
Introduction
Trash capture device 550 (TCD 550) will capture runoff from 182.6 acres of the city of Livermore and 15.92 acres from Caltrans, of which 8.6 acres are Significant Trash Generating Areas (STGAs).
The project is located on Southfront Lane, between Southfront Road and First Street (see Figure 1). The City of Livermore is subject to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (Water Board’s) Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (MRP). Under the updated MRP, known as MRP 3.0, Bay Area cities within the MRP jurisdiction must reduce the amount of trash discharging from their storm drainage systems by 100 percent by June 30, 2025.
Caltrans is required to prevent the discharge of trash from 8,910 acres in accordance with the San Francisco Bay Water Board issued trash discharge Cease and Desist Order (CDO) (No. R2-2019- 0007 as amended by R2-2021-0030) by 2026. Further, Caltrans is required to reduce PCB and Mercury loading from 2,970 acres of ROW tributary to the San Francisco Bay in accordance with Attachment D of the Caltrans NPDES Permit (Order 2022-0033-DWQ).
The Caltrans NPDES Permit allows an acreage credit of three times the credit recognized for Caltrans funded regional partnership projects that reduce PCB and Mercury loading in old industrial areas. Caltrans and Livermore will work with the San Francisco Bay Water Board individually to determine appropriate PCB and mercury reduction crediting toward their respective stormwater NPDES permit requirements based on the land uses within the treatment shed and removal efficiencies of the installed devices.
Background
The city of Livermore is located in Alameda County and as such is subject to the requirements contained in the second five-year term of the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Board.
The MRP requires compliance with TMDL requirements, specifically the San Francisco Bay Mercury TMDL (SFRWQCB, 2004, amended by SFRWQCB, 2006) and the San Francisco PCB TMDL (SFRWQCB, 2008). Water quality objectives were established in each TMDL to protect beneficial uses of the impaired receiving water, mainly San Francisco Bay. PCB concentrations tend to be highest in sediments, thus typical bioaccumulation starts with bottom-feeding species and transfers along the flood chain, with the additional issue of biomagnification (increased concentrations in organisms higher up on the food chain) known to occur with PCBs. Mercury is also strongly associated with sediments and builds up through bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Methylmercury, the organic form of mercury, is of particular concern due to the toxicity and increased bioavailability to aquatic organisms. Overall, the consumption of some fish in San Francisco Bay can be a threat to human health given the elevated levels of PCBs and
EXHIBIT A
163
2 mercury in fish tissue. The legacy nature of the pollutants of concerns and lack of knowledge on dispersion and degradation processes contributed to the uncertainty in future conditions.
The PCB TMDL established two water quality objectives; a fish tissue target of 10 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) and a sediment target of 1 µg/kg based on a food web model developed by the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI). To achieve these objectives, the total mass of PCBs in the active layer of the Bay must be reduced to 160 kilograms. Based on a mass budget model in the TMDL, external loads to the Bay must be reduced to 10 kilograms per year to achieve the required reduction within 30 years. The waste load allocation (WLA) for urban stormwater is 2 kilograms per year, which must be achieved by 2030. Allocations were further broken down by County based on respective Bay-side populations in the year 2000, resulting in a WLA for Alameda County of 0.2 kilograms per year. The baseline PCB load from stormwater runoff was estimated at 20 kilograms per year, based on grab samples from Water Year (WY) 2005, resulting in a required load reduction of 10 kilograms per year (90% reduction).
The Mercury TMDL established two water quality objectives; a fish tissue target applying to 60- centimeter-long striped bass of 0.2 mg/kg (to protect consumption of fish) and a fish target applying to 3-5-centimeter-long fish of 0.03 mg/kg (to protect aquatic organisms and wildlife). To achieve these objectives, the suspended sediment mercury concentration must be reduced to 0.2 mg/kg dry sediment. The WLA for mercury in stormwater is 82 kilograms per year, of which Alameda County has a WLA of 8.4 kilograms per year. T he baseline/existing load from urban stormwater was estimated at 160 kilograms per year, based on box models for sediment and mercury corresponding to WY 2003. The required load reduction from stormwater is therefore 78 kilograms per year. MRP Permittees are responsible for a load reduction of 62 kilograms per year, to be achieved by 2028, of which Alameda County is responsible for reducing 8.0 kilograms per year.
These reduction rates are required by the MRP as part of the process to achieve compliance with the Mercury and PCBs TMDLs for San Francisco Bay. Alameda County permittees are also required to reduce trash discharges to the Bay from municipal storm drain systems. This requirement began with the issuance of the first MRP in 2009, with a 40% reduction required in 2014. Under the current MRP term, no adverse impact on receiving waters from trash is required by 2025.
These reductions will largely be accomplished through the implementation of green infrastructure, including stormwater capture and use and/or infiltration to groundwater. SMCWPPP developed a countywide Storm Water Resource Plan (SWRP) that focuses primarily on stormwater capture with a multi-benefit approach to overall water resources planning, including water quality. This plan is being followed by local Green Infrastructure Plans (GI Plans) to meet MRP requirements. Development of the GI Plans will be a multi-year effort that includes preparation of a reasonable assurance analysis (RAA) to demonstrate that long-term GI Plan implementation by all MRP permittees will reduce PCB loads by three kilograms per year by 2040.
Proposed Project

3 TCD 550 (Figure 1 and Figure 2) will be installed at the culvert on Southfront Lane, between Southfront Road and First Street, on Caltrans right-of-way. The culvert consists of two 4 adjacent feet high by 6 feet wide reinforced concrete boxes. The proposed TCD will be either a diversion structure, which will convey stormwater to an offline hydrodynamic separator (HDS), or an inline debris separating baffle box (DSBB). All dry-weather urban runoff and the first flows of wet- weather runoff will be conveyed to TCD 550 from a ditch adjacent to eastbound I-580 and Southfront Road. TCD 550 will be an approved Full Capture System (FCS) device that will remove trash, debris, and sediment before conveying the water to the existing downstream pipe.
Figure 1: Project Vicinity
The project will utilize the storm drain master plan model for the City of Livermore for device sizing. The 1-year 1-hour storm event will be developed within the existing model to determine trash flow rates and impacts due to head loss on the system during the 10-year event at the FCS location. Coordination with state approved FCS device manufacturers will occur to obtain device and bypass head loss values, maintenance information, and costs.
The site would capture discharges from a tributary area of approximately 199.3 acres (see Figure 2). The drainage area is split between two jurisdictions: the City of Livermore and Caltrans.
Caltrans tributary area includes discharges from approximately 15.9 acres of I-580 drainage (of which 8.6 acres are STGA).

4 The project involves initial engineering and geotechnical assessments, topographical survey, boundary research, and utility locating, detailed design, environmental compliance, construction of a diversion structure (if needed), installation of the TCD, disposal of excavated soil, and reconstruction of disturbed portions of the site. The City of Livermore will file a CEQA Categorical exemption for the site; therefore, it is assumed that environmental permitting will not be required at this location.
The project will include a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Livermore for the long-term operation and maintenance of the constructed water capture facility.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.8
DATE:
May 13, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Paul Spence, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of a ten-year Master License Agreement for Wireless Facilities on Vertical Infrastructure in the Public Rights-of-Way between the City of Livermore and New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC to provide the general framework for the installation and maintenance of small cell antennas and associated equipment on City streetlights within the City's rights-of-way.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .
Finding the approval of the Master License Agreement for small cell wireless facilities is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. It is also exempt under the commonsense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Approval of small cell wireless facilities that may be approved by the Master License Agreement are exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) as minor additions to existing facilities and/or 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) for new, small facilities or structures; and
2 .
Authorizing the City Manager to sign the Master License Agreement between the City of Livermore and New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, to provide the general framework for the installation and maintenance of small cell antennas and associated equipment on City streetlights within the City’s rights-of-way.
SUMMARY
One of the City Council's goals is to improve wireless communication services throughout the City of Livermore (City). New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T) requested to enter into the City’s Master License Agreement for purposes of installing and maintaining their wireless communications facilities, consisting of small cellular wireless antennas and associated equipment, throughout the City on City owned streetlights within the public rights-of-way.
169
To meet the Council’s goal for improving wireless communication services throughout the city, staff and AT&T have negotiated a Master License Agreement. This agreement provides the general framework within which AT&T will install their wireless communication facility infrastructure. Detailed approvals of the installation will occur through the issuance of one or more site licenses and/or encroachment permits by the City.
DISCUSSION
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T), a wireless communication company based out of Texas, has proposed to improve wireless service throughout the city by installing small cell antennas and associated equipment on City streetlights within the City’s rights-of-way. AT&T has their certificate of public convenience from the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) which gives AT&T the authority to locate their services in the public right of way. These rights pre-empt some of the discretionary authority the City has in determining approvals of these proposed installations within the public right of way. Staff met with AT&T to understand their proposed project and explore options that would allow them to provide this service consistent with each other’s rights. It was determined by both staff and AT&T, that a Master License Agreement would be the appropriate mechanism to allow this to happen. The agreement will provide for the process and general framework within which AT&T will install and maintain their wireless communications facilities. As part of this framework, the City has no obligation to allow these facilities to be installed on decorator streetlights nor upon any traffic signal infrastructure. Certain other specific physical design aspects of the infrastructure, aesthetics, locations and detailed approvals of the installation will occur through the issuance of one or more individual site licenses and/or encroachment permits by the City.
In accordance with this agreement, upon the submission of a site license application and review by staff, AT&T will first obtain a site license for a specific location for their wireless communication facility. Once the location, physical and aesthetic design aspects have been reviewed and approved by the City, the City will issue a site license to AT&T for that location. AT&T will then obtain encroachment permits from the City to install and maintain their wireless communications facilities on City streetlights within the City’s rights-of-way based upon their approved site licenses and in compliance with the provisions of all City codes, ordinances, standards and specifications. To minimize impacts of trenching in the streets and sidewalks, when necessary, AT&T will coordinate with other telecommunication companies to perform their work jointly when possible. AT&T must coordinate with the City to avoid possible conflicts with public capital improvement projects including the City’s annual street resurfacing program.
Staff will update and educate the general public through social media, including the locations of the antennas as they are applied for, aesthetic aspects of their installations and the benefits that will be gained by this service.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
AT&T will pay the City a $3,000 one-time Master License Agreement administrative fee, a $270 annual license fee for each approved site license that increases by 3% annually, and a minimum $1,474 one- time site license administrative fee for the processing and issuance of each encroachment permit. These fees are based upon actual costs incurred for reviewing and approving each of the items listed above.

RECITALS
A. Technological developments in wireless communications, new and reallocated electromagnetic spectrum band licenses and consumer demand for high-speed mobile broadband, and other information services have caused wireless service providers to invest in distributed antenna system (“DAS”), distributed network systems (“DNS”), and so-called “small cell” deployments that typically utilize smaller equipment placed on existing infrastructure in the public rights-of-way that serve a smaller physical area than as compared to traditional “macro cell” deployments on freestanding towers or rooftops.
B. The City owns, as its personal property, certain Vertical Infrastructure in or on the public rights-of-way within the City’s jurisdictional boundaries that may be suitable or useful as support structures for Licensee’s Equipment and City has the right and authority to license use of such Vertical Infrastructure to Licensee.
C. Licensee installs, maintains, and operates wireless facilities as its principal business, and represents to City that Licensee holds all Regulatory Approvals to install and maintain Equipment in public rights-of-way and provide wireless broadband services within the geographic area that encompasses the City’s jurisdictional boundaries.
D. Licensee desires to install, maintain, and operate wireless facilities on the City’s Vertical Infrastructure.
E. The parties desire to enter into this Master License to establish a process by which Licensee may request to license from the City individual locations where Licensee’s equipment is affixed or otherwise attached on or in the City’s Vertical Infrastructure, and also to establish the rates, terms, and conditions that will be generally applicable to all Vertical Infrastructure licensed to Licensee by the City.
F. Consistent with California law, the City intends, and Licensee acknowledges, that this Master License will be applicable to only the City’s Vertical Infrastructure, and that the City does not intend this Master License or any Site License to require or be construed to require any revenue-generating consideration to the City as a precondition to access to the public rights-of-way for any telephone corporation, as that term is defined in the California Public Utilities Code.
G. Consistent with federal and California law, the City does not intend this Master
EXHIBIT A

Liquidated Charges and Fees
The parties agree that the Additional Fees payable under this Master License represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs that the City will incur in connection with the matters for which they are imposed and that the City’s right to impose the Additional Fees is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights it may have under this Master License.

Site License Application Review Procedures
Site License Application Priority
L
icensee expressly acknowledges that the City either already has or may in the future enter into similar master license agreements for its Vertical Infrastructure with other persons or entities, and that Licensee and such third parties may from time-to-time desire to license the same Vertical Infrastructure from the City. To promote a fair and competitively neutral process, the City shall implement a first-in-time prioritization process as provided in this Section 6.3.1.
The City shall review each Site License Application, which includes without limitation any Site License Applications submitted by other licensees, in the order received. The City shall date and time stamp each Site License Application when it is received by the City, and that stamp shall control the Site License Application’s priority relative to other Site License Applications. In the event that the City receives two Site License Applications for the same Vertical Infrastructure, the applications with lower priority will be held in abeyance until the higher-priority application is withdrawn, denied or timed-out as provided in this Master License, at which time the City will commence to review the next-highest priority Site License Application for that Vertical Infrastructure.
Timeframe for City’s Review
Except as provided in section 6.3.1 (Site License Application Priority) for Site License Applications that are held in abeyance, the City will review each complete Site License Application within sixty (60) days of the date the application is deemed complete, taking into account any tolling periods for such timeframes as provided in applicable Laws. For any Site License Application that covers more than five proposed installations on Vertical Infrastructure, the City and Licensee shall work together to process such Site License Applications in a timely manner and Licensee will provide City with needed information to allow City to do the same.
City Staff Augmentation
T
o assist the City review and process Site License Applications in a timely manner, the City shall have the right to select and retain temporary staff members, consultants and/or other independent contractors with qualifications and expertise acceptable to the City (“ Staff Augmentation ”).
Licensee shall be responsible for all actual and reasonable costs incurred by the City in
EXHIBIT A
192
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
connection with Staff Augmentation that are allowable by law. Upon the City’s request, Licensee shall furnish the City with a deposit in an amount reasonably estimated by the City to cover the Staff Augmentation costs for a particular Site License Application. The City may withdraw funds from the deposit during the review process only: (1) as needed to pay invoices in connection with Staff Augmentation before such invoices become past-due; and (2) upon notice to Licensee that includes copies of such invoices or other documentation to evidence Staff Augmentation costs incurred by the City. If the deposit is insufficient to cover the City’s costs, Licensee shall reimburse the City for the difference between the deposited amount and the total Staff Augmentation costs within thirty (30) days after Licensee receives the City’s demand for reimbursement, together with copies of invoices or other documentation to evidence the City’s costs. The City shall maintain a ledger or other similar document that records the date and amounts of Licensee’s deposits, and any withdrawal of funds to pay for City costs, a copy of which shall be provided to Licensee at Licensee’s written request. If funds remain after Staff Augmentation is complete, the funds will be returned to the Licensee.
Consultation with Other City Departments
The City, in its proprietary capacity as the licensor under this Master License, may consult with other departments within the City to assess whether Licensee’s proposed Equipment impedes or limits any municipal function or poses any concerns, which includes without limitation any concerns about aesthetics, impacts on historic resources, or environmental impacts, traffic control, pedestrian access, and general right-of-way management. Licensee acknowledges that any consultation with any other City departments in accordance with this Section 6.3.3 and any actions or failures to act by the City that may result from such consultations would be in the City’s proprietary capacity as the Vertical Infrastructure owner and not an exercise of the City’s regulatory authority.
Amendments to Site License Applications
In the event that the city determines for any reason that the Site License Application is incomplete or the Permitted Use at any particular proposed License Area would impede or limit its municipal functions or otherwise negatively affects it s proprietary interests, the city will provide a notice
of incompletion to Licensee as soon as reasonably practicable. The city is not obligated to review or approve any incomplete Site License Application. Licensee will have Thirty (30) days from such notice of incompletion to amend its Site License Application without any impact on the Site License Application’s priority relative to any other applications then under review or later received by the City. Solely for purposes of determining priority relative to any other applications then under
review or later received by the City, any amendments received after the thirty (30) day period or any other changes Licensee may make to the Site License Application will cause the date and time on which the application was submitted or deemed submitted to be
changed to the date and time on which Licensee submitted the proposed changes.
Site License Application Approvals
The City shall review each Site License Application and issue a Site License unless the City determines that: (1) the application is incomplete; (2) the application proposes a use that is inconsistent with the Permitted Use or the terms and conditions of this Master License; (3) the Site License or use of the Licensed Area would impede or limit a municipal function; (4) the Site License would impede or interfere with the City’s proprietary interests in the Licensed Area; or, (5) the Site License would create a hazardous or unsafe condition. In the event that the city approves a Site License Application, the city will return one fully executed Site License to Licensee. Such
EXHIBIT A
193
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
approval may occur before or simultaneous with any approvals or denials for any Regulatory Approvals to be issued by the City in its regulatory capacity. In the event that Licensee fails to commence construction pursuant to the Site License within one year from the date the City fully executes the Acknowledgment Letter, and such delay does not arise out of the acts or omissions of City or other force majeure event that can neither be anticipated nor controlled, the Site License shall automatically expire unless the City Manager grants a written extension that may not exceed one additional year. Licensee shall not be entitled to any refund for any fees, which include without limitation the Site License Fee, paid in connection with a Site License that expires pursuant to this Section 6.3.6. Nothing in this Section 6.3.6 is intended to prohibit or prevent Licensee from submitting a new Site License Application for the same or substantially the same Vertical Infrastructure as those covered under a Site License that expired pursuant to this Section
6.3.6. If a Site License is approved, Licensee shall not commence any work to install Equipment in the License Area for the Site License until all Regulatory Approvals have been obtained and the City has executed the Acknowledgement Letter as set forth in Section 7.1 (Prior Regulatory Approvals Required) and Section 7.2 (Acknowledgement Letter as Licensee’s Notice to Proceed).
Site License Application Denials
L
icensee acknowledges that the City reserves the absolute right to disapprove any Site License Application in whole or in part when the City determines in its sole judgment that the proposed Equipment would impede or limit a municipal function or proprietary interests or create a hazardous or unsafe condition.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, the City may, in the City’s sole and absolute discretion, permit Licensee to replace a decorative pole, which includes any Vertical Infrastructure or light standard with ornate features or characteristics designed or intended to enhance the appearance of the pole, light standard, or other Vertical Infrastructure. After Licensee installs any replacement Vertical Infrastructure, the City will have the right to inspect the improvements and installation work and may accept, reject, or require corrections to such improvements or installation work. Licensee shall make any and all necessary corrections to any replacement Vertical Infrastructure within sixty (60) days after a rejection by the City, except that for any Vertical Infrastructure that is rejected due to a violation of any law designed to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, shall be removed within twenty-four (24) hours of the rejection.
After the City accepts the replacement Vertical Infrastructure, Licensee shall transfer title to the replacement Vertical Infrastructure to the City by a written instrument mutually acceptable to the parties.

in Section 19 (Termination), neither any City work on any Vertical Infrastructure nor any condition on any Vertical Infrastructure will: (a) entitle Licensee to any damages unless caused by City’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) excuse or reduce any obligation by Licensee to pay any Site License Fees
or Additional Fees or perform any covenant under this Master License or any Site License; or (c) constitute or be construed as a constructive termination of this Master License or any Site License.

The City will remove any Equipment with reasonable care and store such Equipment for retrieval by Licensee. Licensee shall have the right to reinstall such removed Equipment (or equivalent replacement Equipment) at Licensee’s sole expense on the repaired or replaced Vertical Infrastructure and/or License Area and in accordance with Section 7 (Equipment Installation). Licensee expressly acknowledges that any act(s) taken by the City pursuant to this Section 12.4, which includes without limitation any Equipment removal or storage, will not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry onto the License Area or any interference with Licensee’s contractual privilege to use the License Area.

Licensee shall immediately notify the City if and when Licensee learns or has reason to believe any Hazardous Material Release has occurred in, on, under or about the License Area or other City Property. Licensee will not be deemed to have assumed liability for any such Release by giving such notice, unless such Release were caused by or arose in connection with Licensee’s or its Agent’s or invitee’s acts, omissions or negligence.
Licensee’s Hazardous Material Indemnification Oblig ations If Licensee breaches any obligations contained in this Section 16 (Hazardous Material), or if any act, omission or negligence by Licensee or its Agents results in any contamination on or about the License Area or other City Property, or in a Hazardous Material Release from, on, about, in or beneath the License Areas or any other City Property, in whole or in part, or any Environmental Law violation, then Licensee, for itself and its successors and assigns, shall indemnify, defend and hold the City and any Indemnified City Parties harmless, from and against any and all Claims (including damages for decrease in value of the License Area or other City Property, the loss or restriction of the use of usable space in the License Area, or other City Property, and sums paid in settlement of Claims, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, and experts’ fees and related costs) that arises during or after the Term related to or in connection with such Release or violation; provided, however, Licensee shall not be liable for any Claims to the extent such Release or violation was caused by an Indemnified City Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

INTERFERENCE
EXHIBIT A
206
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
Licensee’s Obligations Not to Cause Communication or Computer Equipment Inference
Licensee will not install, maintain, or operate any Equipment in a manner that interferes with or impairs other communication (radio, telephone, data and/or other transmission or reception) or computer equipment lawfully used by any persons or entities, which includes the City and its Agents. If uncured, upon verification that such interference is caused by the Licensee or its Equipment, the interference will be a default by Licensee under this Master License and any applicable Site License. Upon notice of the interference form the City or from any person or entity lawfully using communication or computer equipment affected by the interference, Licensee shall promptly eliminate such interference at no cost to the City.
Licensee will be
required to use its best efforts to remedy and cure such interference without any impairment to any City operations. If Licensee does not promptly cure such default, the parties acknowledge that continued interference may cause irreparable injury to the City and, therefore, Licensee may power down the interfering Equipment and only energize the Interfering Equipment for periodic testing, in an effort to cure the interference, and if the interference is not cured then the City will have the right to bring an action against Licensee to, at the City’s
election, immediately enjoin such interference and/or to terminate all Site Licenses where the Equipment causes interference or impairment.
Interference Caused by a Change in City’s Use
If any change in any use on or about the License Area by the City during the Term results in measurable, material and adverse impairment to Licensee’s normal and lawful operations, which makes it necessary for Licensee to alter the Equipment to mitigate the adverse effect, Licensee shall notify the City and provide evidence to substantiate the claimed impairment. After the City receives such notice, the City will have the right to make its own reasonable determination and, if it agrees with Licensee, the City will investigate whether it can reasonably and economically mitigate that interference. The City will provide notice to Licensee of the City’s determination. If the City determines, in its sole discretion, that mitigation is reasonably and economically feasible, the City’s notice will specify when the City will mitigate the adverse effect. The City’s mitigation will effect a cure, and the City will not be liable to Licensee in any other way or be required to take any other measures with respect to the Equipment. If the City determines, in its sole discretion, that mitigation is not reasonably or economically feasible, Licensee may elect either to: (1) terminate the affected Site License and receive a pro-rata refund in the Site License Fee for those Site Licenses terminated after the first License Year; or (2) take steps itself at its own cost to mitigate the adverse effect and continue to operate the Equipment on the License Area, and receive from the City a written waiver from the obligation to pay the Site License Fee for the affected Site License location for the first six months in the next License Year to offset the mitigation costs. Licensee agrees that the City’s temporary and a partial abatement of the Site License Fee for the affected Site License location, or waiver under this Section 17.2, will be the only compensation due to Licensee for costs incurred or otherwise arising from the adverse effect as liquidated damages fully compensating Licensee for all Claims that may arise from or be related to the adverse effects. Under no circumstances will the City be required to alter its operations at the identified License Area or provide a replacement License Area to Licensee.
Interference Caused by City Access
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it will not be entitled to any Site License Fee abatement if the City exercises its rights to access, remove, and/or store Equipment under Section 12 (Public Works’ Operations) unless the City’s activities cause Licensee to be unable to operate Equipment

on the License Area for its Permitted Use for a period of more than ten (10) days; in which case, subject to proof, the Site License Fee for the Site License with the affected License Area will be abated on a pro-rata basis for the entire period that Licensee is unable to operate any Equipment in that affected License Area.
DEFAULT
Defaults and Cure Periods
The parties agree that any failure to perform or observe any term, condition, obligation or other provision in this Master License or any Site License shall be a default. For any monetary default, the defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the non- defaulting party to perfect a cure. The defaulting party shall not be entitled to any additional time to cure a monetary default. For any non-monetary default, the defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days after written notice from the non-defaulting party to perfect a cure; provided, however, that for any non-monetary default that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the defaulting party shall have additional time as is reasonably necessary to perfect the cure if the defaulting party commences to cure the default within the first thirty (30) days after notice and diligently pursues the cure to completion.
Licensee’s Remedies
Except as may be otherwise provided elsewhere in this Master License, Licensee’s sole remedies for the City’s uncured default will be to: (1) to terminate the Site License(s) affected by the uncured default on thirty (30) days prior written notice; or, (2) an action for damages subject to the limitations in Section 15 (Limitations on Liability).
City’s Remedies
I
n addition to all other legal and equitable rights and remedies available to the City, the City has the following remedies after an uncured default by Licensee:
License Continuation
Without prejudice to its right to other remedies, the City may continue this Master License and any applicable Site Licenses then in effect, with the right to enforce all its rights and remedies, which include without limitation the right to receive all Administrative Fees, Site License Fees, Additional Fees, Default Fees, City Staff Augmentation costs and other sums as they may become due.
Site License Termination
I
f Licensee’s default affects one or more Site Licenses and remains uncured beyond all applicable cure periods, the City may terminate such Site Licenses on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City’s termination of such Site Licenses shall terminate Licensee’s rights only in specific Vertical Infrastructure identified in such Site Licenses that are affected by Licensee’s default and as determined by the City; Licensee’s rights in specific Vertical Infrastructure and site locations that are not affected by Licensee’s default shall continue in full force and effect.
Default Fees
EXHIBIT A
208
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
In addition to all other rights and remedies available to the City, the City may require Licensee to pay an additional fee to offset the City’s administrative cost to enforce compliance with this Master License or any Site License as more particularly described on Schedule 2 (each a “Default Fee ”). Licensee shall pay the Default Fee within fifteen (15) days after a written demand from the City. If Licensee fails to timely pay the Default Fee or cure the underlying default within the applicable cure period, the City shall have the right (but not the obligation) to send Licensee a follow-up notice and demand for an additional Default Fee that will be due and payable within fifteen (15) days. Licensee’s obligation to pay Default Fees is separate and distinct from the underlying default. Default Fee payments shall not be deemed to cure the underlying default.
Cumulative Remedies
Except as otherwise provided in this Master License, all rights and remedies available to the City or Licensee are cumulative, and not a substitute for, any rights or remedies otherwise available to the City or Licensee.
TERMINATION
Master License Termination by Licensee
Except as otherwise provided in this Master License, Licensee may not terminate this Master License during the first five (5) years of the initial ten (10) year Term. After the first five (5) years of the initial ten (10) year Term, Licensee may terminate this Master License without cause on one (1) year’s prior written notice to the City. To avoid any doubts, Licensee may not terminate this Master License within the first five (5) years of the initial ten (10) year Term for any reason other than for cause as provided in this Master License.
Site License Termination by Licensee
E
xcept as otherwise provided in this Master License, Licensee may not terminate any Site License within the first License Year. At any time after the first License Year, Licensee may, in Licensee’s sole discretion and for any or no reason, terminate any Site License on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the City.
Master License Termination by City
T
he City may terminate this Master License upon written notice if 66% of sites remain in default beyond any applicable cure period.
Site License Termination by City
The City has the right to terminate any or all Site Licenses.
The City’s right to terminate any or all Site Licenses on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Licensee when the City determines based on evidence, that Licensee’s operations on or about the License Area adversely affects or threatens public health and safety in violation of Laws, materially interferes with the City’s municipal functions, requires the City to maintain Vertical Infrastructure that the City no longer needs for its own purposes, in response to a default by
Licensee as set forth in this Master License, or as a result of the termination of this Master

209
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
License. In the event that the City terminates any Site License for reasons unrelated to Licensee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Master License, the City shall refund any pre-paid Site License Fee on a pro-rata basis. In addition, the City shall prioritize Licensee’s Site License Application for any Site License to replace the terminated Site License; provided, however, that:
(1) the City shall prioritize only as many Site License Applications as Site Licenses terminated by the City; and, (2) the City’s prioritization will not affect Licensee’s obligations under this Master License.
ASSIGNMENT AND OTHER TRANSFERS
General Restriction on Assignment and Other Transfers
E
xcept as specifically provided in Section 20.3 (Permitted Assignments), Licensee shall not directly or indirectly assign or transfer its interests or rights, whether in whole or in part, in connection with this Master License, any Site License, any License Area, or any Vertical Infrastructure without the City’s prior written consent, which the City may withhold or condition its consent in its sole and absolute discretion for any or no reason. In addition, Licensee shall not mortgage or grant a security interest (including any liens) in this Agreement, any Site License, any License Area, or any Vertical Infrastructure, and Licensee shall not create, permit, or suffer any other encumbrances affecting any portion of the License Area.
General Assignment and Other Transfer Procedures
Proposed Assignment Notice
I
n the event that Licensee desires to assign or otherwise transfer any right, title or interest in this Master License or any Site License, whether in whole or in part, and such assignment or other transfer is not a Permitted Assignment, Licensee shall first send written notice to the City (the “
Proposed Assignment Notice”), which states in detail the proposed terms and conditions for the proposed assignment or other transfer and provides complete information that the City reasonably requires to fully evaluate Licensee’s request and render an informed decision, which includes business track records, references, financial ability to assume the duties and responsibilities set forth in this Master License, and other information about the proposed assignee or transferee (the “
Proposed Assignee ”) due to the provisions in Section 20.5 (Assumption by Assignee of Transferee). The notice may require the disclosure of proprietary, trade secret, or other confidential information (collectively “ Confidential Information”). If the
Licensee believes the Confidential Information should be withheld from production in response to request made pursuant to the California Public Records Act, then the Licensee shall identify such Confidential Information when it is provided to the City, request the Confidential Information be withheld from any request pursuant to the California Public Records Act, and explain why the Confidential Information qualifies for withholding pursuant to the California Public Records Act.
The City shall return such Confidential Information to the Licensee after the City completes its review. In the event that Licensee does not provide all such information simultaneously with the Proposed Assignment Notice, the Proposed Assignment Notice shall not be deemed complete for action by the City until the Licensee delivers such information as the City may reasonably require.
City’s Response to Proposed Assignment Notice
T
he City shall consent to, or deny, an assignment or other transfer within thirty (30) days after
EXHIBIT A
210
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
the City receives a complete Proposed Assignment Notice (the “ Assignment Response Period”). If the City fails to respond within the Assignment Response Period, the request for assignment or other transfer will be deemed denied. If the City delivers to Licensee written consent to the proposed assignment or other transfer, then Licensee shall have one (1) year from such written consent to complete the assignment or other transfer. The City’s consent will be deemed to be automatically revoked if Licensee fails to complete the proposed assignment or other transfer within said one (1) year period; provided, however, that the one (1) year period may be extended to a date certain in a written agreement, which the City shall not unreasonably refuse if the extension is necessitated by circumstances outside Licensee’s control.
Permitted Assignments
General Authorization
The City agrees that Licensee will be permitted to assign or otherwise transfer this Master License and any Site License(s) issued under it without the City’s prior consent, but with notice to the City as provided below, to: (1) an Affiliate; (2) an entity that acquires all or substantially all Licensee’s assets in the market area where the License Area is located (as the “market area” is or may be defined by the FCC); (3) an entity that acquires a controlling interest Licensee by a change in stock ownership or partnership interest; (4) an entity Controlled by Licensee; or, (5) an entity that is a successor to Licensee either merger, acquisition, or other consolidation of Licensee (each such assignment or transfer shall be referred to as a “ Permitted Assignment”).
Conditions on Permitted Assignments
All Permitted Assignments, and all consents to an assignment or other transfer, are subject to all the following conditions: (1) the Proposed Assignee may use the License Area only for the Permitted Use and has all Regulatory Approvals necessary to lawfully install, operate, and maintain Equipment on the License Area; (2) Licensee provides the City with written notice within thirty (30) days before the Permitted Assignment becomes effective, and such notice shall state the contact
information for the Proposed Assignee and provide financial information establishing that the Proposed Assignee meets the capital and fiscal qualifications necessary to perform Licensee’s obligations under this Master License and any Site License and as set forth in section 20.5 (Assumption by Assignee of Transferee); and, (3) Licensee is in good standing under this Master License.
Effect of Assignment or Other Transfer
No assignment or other transfer by Licensee, consent to assignment by the City, or Permitted Assignment under Section 20.3 (Permitted Assignments) will relieve Licensee from any obligation on its part under this Master License or any Site License. Any assignment or other transfer that is not in compliance with this Master License will be void and is a material default by Licensee without a requirement for notice from the City and with a right to cure by the Licensee. The City’s acceptance of any Site License Fee, Additional Fee, or other payments from a Proposed Assignee will not be deemed to be the City’s consent to such assignment or other transfer, recognition of any assignee or transferee or waiver of any failure of Licensee or other transferor to comply with this Section 20 (Assignments and Other Transfers).
Assumption by Assignee or Transferee
Each Proposed Assignee shall assume all Licensee’s obligations under this Master License and
EXHIBIT A
211
MLA for Wireless Facilities in ROW
Rev. 8/2019
each assigned Site License and will be, and will remain, jointly and severally liable with Licensee for all obligations to be performed by Licensee. No assignment or other transfer will be binding on the City unless Licensee or the Proposed Assignee delivers to the City evidence satisfactory to the City that the Proposed Assignee has obtained all Regulatory Approvals required to operate as a wireless communications service provider in the market area where the assigned License Area is located, a copy of the assignment or other transfer agreement (or other document reasonably satisfactory to the City in the event of a Permitted Assignment under Section 20.3 (Permitted
Assignments)) and an instrument in recordable form that contains a covenant of assumption by such Proposed Assignee satisfactory in substance and form to the City, consistent with the requirements in this Section 20 (Assignment and Other Transfers). However, the failure or refusal by a Proposed Assignee to execute such instrument will not release such Proposed Assignee from its liability as set forth in this Section. Except for a Permitted Assignment as provided in Section 20.3 (Permitted Assignments), Licensee shall reimburse the City on demand for any reasonable costs that the City incurs in connection with any proposed assignment, which includes the costs to investigate the acceptability of the Proposed Assignee and legal costs incurred in connection with considering any requested consent. The City agrees that its right to reimbursement under this Section for the reasonable costs to investigate the acceptability of a Proposed Assignee will be limited to Two Thousand Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000.00) for each request.

Bond Application
Licensee agrees that the City may use the Surety Bond, in whole or in part, to remedy any damage to the License Area caused by Licensee, its Agents or any failure by Licensee to perform any term, covenant or condition in this Master License or any Site License (which includes, without limitation, any failure to pay any Site License Fee or other sums due under this Master License or any Site License either before or after any default).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.9
DATE:
May 13, 2024
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with One Diversified, LLC (Diversified) to upgrade, reconfigure and provide 36 months of ongoing maintenance of the Civic Center Meeting Hall in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000 and appropriate $300,000 from the City’s Public Educational and Government (PEG) fees.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1 .
Appropriating $300,000 from the City's Public Educational and Government (PEG) fees; and 2 .
Authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with One Diversified, LLC to upgrade, reconfigure and provide ongoing maintenance for the first phase of a multi-phase project to upgrade the production capabilities of the City Council Chambers and the Mendenhall Community Room in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000.
SUMMARY
The City of Livermore’s (City) Civic Center Meeting Hall serves as the City Council Chamber and the City’s Emergency Operations Center and houses the Mendenhall Community Room. As the City’s use of these facilities has expanded over the past five years to support the Planning Commission, most advisory body meetings, and several large public and private groups, staff proposes to add technology capabilities and functionality to the building. These additions require several upgrades and modifications to the existing systems.
Diversified installed the audio/visual equipment in the City Council Chamber and the Mendenhall Community Room during construction and continues to provide technical support for the existing hardware and software systems that operate the various control systems, cameras, and related hardware throughout the building.
Due to the complexity of these systems, and the successful partnership the City has with Diversified, staff elected to have Diversified perform the upgrades needed to complete the first phase of a multi- 234
phase process to upgrade the building’s audio/visual capabilities.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Civic Center Meeting Hall, built in 2017 and dedicated in 2019, serves as the City Council Chamber, the City’s Emergency Operations Center and houses the Mendenhall Community Room. As the City’s use of these facilities has expanded over the past five years to support the Planning Commission, most advisory body meetings, and several large public and private groups, staff identified several opportunities to add capabilities and functionality to the system.
Diversified installed the audio/visual equipment in the City Council Chamber and the Mendenhall Community Room during the building’s construction and continues to provide technical support for the existing hardware and software systems that operate the various control systems, cameras, and other related hardware throughout the building.
Due to the complexity of these systems, and the successful partnership the City has with Diversified, staff elected to have Diversified perform the upgrades needed to complete the first phase of a multi- phase process to upgrade the building’s audio/visual capabilities.
City staff met with design engineers from Diversified to develop a roadmap that would allow the City to achieve its future audio/visual goals in the Civic Center Meeting Hall. Several upgrades and modifications to the existing system are required to prepare for these upcoming projects including:
Upgrade the control interface to make the system easier to use when broadcasting meetings on the City's public access channel, including:
Purpose specific preset configurations for each meeting type Increasing automation of meeting production
Enhanced meeting controls for city staff
Upgrade lighting in system control room
Add an additional microphone to the podium to increase the vocal clarity of public speakers Relocate several components of the system to allow for better airflow and additional future hardware additions
Replace the existing adaptive headsets to remain ADA compliant.
At the completion of this phase of the project, staff will identify additional sources of funding, including grant funding and PEG funding where appropriate, to implement additional enhancements to the Civic Center Meeting Hall, including:
Producing video recordings of all advisory body meetings that will be broadcast on the City’s public access channel
Integrated digital kiosks
Advanced, multi-screen wall displays
Enhanced emergency management operational technology
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
The not-to-exceed amount for this first phase of the process is $300,000, which covers the hardware, software, programming changes, 36 months of maintenance and support for all systems in the Civic 235
Center Meeting Hall, and a small contingency fund to implement additional functionality upgrades identified during the project. There are sufficient PEG funds to cover the $300,000 appropriation.
There are no ongoing costs for this project.

o For the camera page, super impose the camera controls on top of the full screen preview. o Crestron TSD-2220-B 21.5” HD Touch Screen Display, Black o Crestron DM-DGE-200-C Digital Graphics Engine 200
Troubleshoot the Sierra Video windowing processor programming. o The program does not recall any layouts.
o I was trying to verify the correct control method for this, and it looks like either LAN or RS232. I did not find a Crestron module for it though.
o Sierra Video 04-SVG-Frame (28-2000-1210)12x2 HDMI Multiview Processor Review the program to see if there is any code that is triggering a source select on the projectors every time a source is selected.
o Every time a source is selected on the DM Switcher, the projector goes to blue screen for several seconds while it cycles through the different inputs and finally locks onto the HDMI input it was on when the switch was made.
Add discrete level controls for microphones on TV30 Touch Panel o This will require adding another page on the panel. Provide a room map for selecting a mic, with a single Level/Mute control. Include a text window for each mic showing the mic level, and a radio button for Mute status.

3. Add 2nd Microphone at Lectern
Provide and install a 2nd identical microphone at the lectern. The mics will be secured at the optimum location to improve off axis voice pickup.
Programming will be added to control the new microphone.
7. Rack Cleanup, System Tuning, and Additional Testing
Remove unused cables from the rack.
Verify cables are labeled correctly and are accurately depicted on the drawings.
Verify cables are dressed properly to relieve tension on the connectors.
Address the image scaling issue with the projectors. The images are over scanned and therefore missing information. Adjust system wide EDID as needed to achieve consistent 1080P images.
Revisit the Audio gain structure to see if it is possible to get more headroom from the mics and improve the audio quality of the mics. The current level controls are not sensitive enough. The levels are almost all the way up and can only be adjusted 1 or 2 clicks before going into feedback or sounding bad.
Replace any microphones that are not working properly.
Initial tests show the following microphones may need to be repaired or replaced.
Note: Dais Mics 1 & 7 were not in use, so they were not tested. The lines will be tested to verify they are good.
Dais Mics 3-6, Mic 5 has already been swapped out with Mic 7 that was not being used.
Staff Mics 6-8
Remove unused equipment:
HDMI DA at Dais and staff table that was used for the displays that are no longer in use. The displays have already been removed.
The amplifier in the rack that is used to drive the speakers on the staff table. The speakers have already been removed.
Blu-Ray Player

Replace the 2 Audio DSP’s with a single DSP.
Programming - Add Room Combine buttons on each touch panel. It will be necessary to press the room combine button on each panel to combine the rooms. This helps prevent accidental room combining.
Add Audio and Video Preset recall for Room Combining.
Currently, each room is controlled separately from a Crestron DMPS3-4K-150-C.
Add the ability to route all inputs, including the floor box inputs from the touch panels in the room.
The floor box inputs are currently routed from the control room touch panel through the DM-MD64X64.
Add an automatic shutdown at Midnight.
Replace the existing touch panels with the TSW-770-B-S purchased for the Zoom upgrade. Update the touch panel files to work with the TSW-770-B-S.
Review the program to see if there is any code that is triggering a source select on the projectors every time a source is selected. Adjust code as needed to eliminate the issue if possible.
Every time a source is selected on the DM Switcher, the projector goes to blue screen for several seconds while it cycles through the different inputs and finally locks onto the HDMI input it was on when the switch was made.

2.3 Pricing Exclusions
1. All prices include Sales Tax. If taxes are shown, values are based on estimates and will be billed for actual tax costs at the time of invoicing. Customers, including government, general contractors and not for profit entities seeking a tax exemption must supply Diversified with a valid exemption certificate, or direct pay permit at the time of Proposal execution, or upon issuance of a Purchase Order.
2. Costs for Permits are not included in Diversified’s pricing (unless stated otherwise).
3. Payment and Performance Bonds are excluded. If Diversified is required to carry a P&P bond, Diversified’s total price will increase by .86% (Diversified’s current bonding rate).
4. Pricing in this Proposal is based on Diversified corporate labor rates. Diversified is not a Unionized shop; we have not utilized any collectively bargained or trades organization’s rates in our workforce cost estimations. If Diversified is required to utilize a 3rd party unionized trades organization for the execution of trades related work, their costs have been included as quoted by a Unionized trade entity.
5. This Proposal was not prepared in accordance with Davis Bacon or other Prevailing Wage Scale. If Diversified is informed that such wage rates are required for this project, Diversified will revise its Proposal accordingly.
6. Unless otherwise noted in this Proposal, labor rates used to calculate this estimate are based on work being administered during business hours (Monday – Friday / 0600-1800H Local Time). A revised proposal, which includes after-hours, weekends and/or holiday labor rates, can be provided upon request.
7. Pricing in this Proposal does not include Revit BIM work, unless stated explicitly. When Revit BIM services are included, Customer will provide Revit environment background and a library of device families for the required Revit BIM work. Diversified will add only those devices specifically identified in the Revit scope of this Proposal. Diversified will provide modeling of such devices to the extent of providing spatial representation in our models for the purposes of de-conflicting trade clashes.
Diversified does not include granular visual representation modeling of its proposed products for the purposes of real-life renderings, etc.
8. Returned material must be resalable, unopened in its original packaging. Any material or containers that are opened, defaced, or damaged cannot be returned to Diversified. Restocking fees may apply for returned equipment.
9. Hoists, man-lifts, extra-long ladders, special safety equipment, and the like, shall be provided by others (or by Diversified at additional cost) when required.
10. Any man-hours or fees associated with building safety program conformance including but not limited to specific parking requirements, site IDs, hard hats, safety glasses, footwear, or safety training are not known or included in Diversified’s pricing. Additional costs may be incurred and will be billed to our Customer if required.
11. Unforeseen cost impacts on equipment and materials due to international trade policies (steel, copper, precious metals, and country specific policies) may incur additional cost. Diversified shall DocuSign Envelope ID: E1FFADC6-A0F7-4895-8C89-CB3C7DEBF343

attempt to time purchases to minimize the impact of such pricing fluctuations. Any pricing increase beyond 2% from time of Proposal to time of purchase shall be borne by our Customer.
12. This project may be impacted by current challenges within the global supply chain, which may cause unexpected timeline delays and changes in pricing for project equipment and services. Although these matters are outside Diversified’s control, Diversified will endeavor to identify supply chain issues as early as possible, keeping our customers well informed of any supply chain issue and its potential impact and mitigation. In an effort to further reduce supply chain challenges, manufacturers are redesigning products with new components that are known to be more readily available. This may cause a product’s price to change, or a current model to be discontinued (made End of Life) and replaced with a new model. Product substitutions, increased product and/or shipping costs will be identified by the Diversified project team and processed as a Change Order when required.
13. For all new project equipment and materials listed in the Bill of Materials (BoM), whether upon contract execution or following final design and Bill of Materials modification, that is sourced by our Customer directly through another supplier, such as an OEM, vendor, etc., Customer will provide to Diversified a copy of the vendor quote and resultant Customer Purchase Order. This detailed data will be utilized for project logistics, warehousing and insurances against risk of loss and damage. Additionally, Diversified will be entitled to a handling and insurance fee equal to four percent (4%) of the transaction value of the Customer Furnished Equipment (CFE) and materials, excluding freight and taxes.

When available, Customer must provide Diversified with up-to-date plans in the event they impact the Scope of Work. Diversified may rely on the accuracy and completeness of these items without any obligation of independent verification. Customer will not be responsible for obtaining or paying for necessary permits from authorities with jurisdiction over the Services and/or Equipment unless Diversified provides written notification in the SOW stating otherwise.
3. Prevailing Terms and Conditions: By signing this Agreement, Customer represents and acknowledges that he/she has fully read, understands, and accepts the terms of this Agreement, including the terms and conditions included herein.

7. Estimated Schedule and Delivery Time: Diversified shall use commercially reasonable efforts to render the Services and/or Equipment in accordance with any committed timetable set forth in the SOW. During the course of providing the Services and/or Equipment, events outside the reasonable control of Diversified (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”) may impact the completion schedule and Diversified shall not be held responsible for any such delays in meeting the completion schedule, failure to deliver or perform as a result of any delays resulting from any such occurrence.

Diversified will notify Purchaser promptly of any material delay excused by this clause and will specify the revised delivery date as soon as practicable. Delays or movement in scheduled dependent predecessor tasks will not change the required minimum time for Diversified to complete their associated task/work. Diversified shall notify Customer of any such delays within 48 hours.
8. Fees and Payment: Customer shall pay Diversified the fees for Services and/or Equipment (the “Total Fee”) set forth on the invoice consistent with the payment term provisions set forth above.

Customer shall reimburse Diversified for all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees.
9. Labor and Equipment Price Increases: Equipment, Material, and Labor costs have been calculated based on the current prices for labor, equipment, and the component materials, however, the market for electronic equipment and materials is considered to be volatile, labor shortages are possible, and sudden price increases may occur. When the price for any item of materials, equipment, or labor increases two percent (2%) or more between the Proposal or Quotation Date and the materials/equipment purchase date or the date labor is utilized for the relevant project, Customer shall pay to Diversified on request, all sums by which the cost to Diversified has increased beyond 2%, as demonstrated by Diversified. Where the delivery of equipment, materials, and/or the performance of labor are delayed or labor shortages occur, through no fault of Diversified, as a result of the shortage or unavailability of the equipment, materials, or labor, Diversified shall not be liable for any additional costs or damages associated with such delay(s).
10. Standard Payment Terms: Unless Payment Terms are specified elsewhere in this Proposal, Diversified’s Standard Payment Terms will apply.

Mediation: Diversified and Customer shall submit the dispute to executives selected by each party (a maximum of two persons for each party). These executives shall meet as often as necessary to gather and analyze information relevant to resolving the dispute and shall negotiate in good faith. All proposals and information exchanged as well as discussions during this informal process will be considered settlement discussions and proposals and will be inadmissible in any subsequent proceedings. If no settlement is reached in the informal dispute discussions, either party may, within thirty (30) days from the date of a written communication that the informal dispute process was unsuccessful, give notice to the other party that the noticing party wishes to pursue formal mediation throughout arbitration.
Arbitration: In the event that the parties cannot amicably resolve a dispute or damage claim through mediation, the parties agree to resolve any such dispute or damage claim by arbitration.
The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect with one (1) arbitrator to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties.

4.1 Diversified Limited Warranty
1. In addition to any other rights you may have, Diversified shall extend a one year (365 calendar days) limited defective equipment and workmanship warranty from the date of substantial or practical completion of the system installation or beneficial use of the system by the Customer whichever is first occurring, unless such period has been superseded by the purchase of a Diversified Service Agreement Package. Details describing our Service Agreement options are outlined in a separate document. Diversified’s limited warranty shall cover defective equipment and defects in workmanship for installation work relating to but not limited to cabling, connectors, structural elements, mountings, equipment rack wiring and internal adjustments. Under the limited warranty, labor services will be provided at no charge. Defects in third party manufacturer equipment and/or installation or other services provided by the manufacturer are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and will be managed by Diversified during the limited warranty period. Product serial numbers must not be removed.
2. Diversified’s limited warranty excludes coverage due to equipment or system abuse, neglect, alteration, lamps and bulbs, misuse including but not limited to: operating outside of environmental, user error, electrical, temperature or humidity specifications, system alterations neither approved nor performed by Diversified or repair by a service facility other than those authorized by the manufacturer.
If within the limited warranty period, we are contacted with a support request that falls under this limited warranty exclusion, time, travel and equipment for this and any subsequent visit required will be billed at our current labor Time & Material rates
3. All service support requests made after the expiration date of the limited warranty will be billed at our current labor Time & Material rates.
4. If a warranty in excess of 90 days is required by law in the country, state or local jurisdiction of system installation, Diversified shall extend the minimum warranty term required by applicable law.

replacement components last only during the term of the limited warranty. Some local jurisdictions, states or countries may not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty, guarantee, term or condition lasts, so this limitation may not apply.
5. Diversified’s limited warranty gives specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. You may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
6. If any provision of Diversified’s limited warranty is legally invalid, the limited warranty shall endure except for the invalid provision. However, if a court determines that any provision is invalid, the court may limit the provision, delete specific words or phrases, or replace the invalid provision with one that is valid and that comes closest to expressing the intent of the invalid provision.
7. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DIVERSIFED SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE
FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM A BREACH OF WARRANTY. SPECIFICALLY, DIVERSIFIED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
COSTS SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS DAMAGE OR OTHERWISE. SOME LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, STATES OR COUNTRIES MAY NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION ON SUCH DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.
Warranty Service Process
1. All new equipment provided by Diversified includes each manufacturer’s full warranty from the date of Customer invoice. Diversified shall address all manufacturer warranty requirements as "Depot" (Return-to-Base / RTB) service only. Under Depot service, Customer ships equipment to an authorized factory warranty repair center. Diversified will act as liaison between Customer and manufacturer and assist with Return Materials Authorization (RMA) logistics support. Labor relating to defective equipment is covered for 365 days under this limited warranty and can be extended through the execution of a Service Level Agreement. All other time, travel and equipment for this and any subsequent visit required will be billed at our current labor Time & Material rates
2. Diversified shall respond to warranty support requests (via phone, email or on-site) during the normal working hours of 8a – 5p local (Customer site) time Monday - Friday, except recognized holidays.
Service required outside of normal working hours shall be billed at current labor Time & Material rates for overtime work. Diversified will make every effort to address such issues within 72 hours after notification.
3. Upon arrival for warranty support, Diversified will expect access to the system and equipment. To avoid additional charges, please contact us 24 hours in advance if delays in access are to be expected.
If our Technician arrives to a scheduled appointment and cannot gain access to the system or equipment to affect a proper diagnosis or repair, we will bill the service call for time, travel and equipment for this and any subsequent visit required at our current Time & Material rates.
4. If it is required that equipment be removed for repair, we will make every attempt to minimize the impact on the system operation while the unit is being repaired. However, it is not possible to guarantee any level of system operation. Loaner equipment is not included in our limited warranty or Service Agreements.
