33 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.3
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution dedicating a Public Utility Easement (PUE) to the public over a portion of City owned land within a portion of Stockmen’s Park and authorizing the City Manager to execute the PUE to serve the designated Commercial Use Areas adjacent to Stockmen’s Park.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to dedicate a Public Utility Easement (PUE) over City property within a portion of Stockmen’s Park.

SUMMARY
The Downtown Plan includes cultural and commercial uses adjacent to Stockmen’s Park. The placement of these uses is intended to activate and complement the space, but not overshadow Stockmen’s Park.

City of Livermore (City) staff has been working with Blacksmith Square LLC (Developer) and reviewing their building permit applications for their Blacksmith Square Expansion project located within the commercial use parcels adjacent to Stockmen's Park. As part of the City’s review of the permit plans it was determined that the Developer needs to route power and communication utilities just outside their western boundary on City Property in order to serve their development. To have these public utilities routed on city property, the utility companies require an easement for access to install and maintain their services. Staff proposes dedicating a PUE over City Property within a portion of Stockmen’s Park adjacent to the western boundary of the designated Commercial Use areas in order to accommodate this requirement. The location of the proposed PUE is shown in Attachment 1. The ultimate use of this area in the approved Downtown Development Plan is a pedestrian pathway with decorative pavement between the new Blacksmith Square building and the future science center. The proposed PUE does not impact this future use.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to dedicate a Public Utility Easement (PUE) over City Property within a portion of Stockmen’s Park and authorize the City Manager to execute the PUE as depicted in the exhibits to the resolution. The City Clerk is authorized to accept the easement 34 per Resolution 1-65.

DISCUSSION
In 1962 the City and the Livermore Stockmen’s Rodeo Association (Stockmen’s Association) entered into an agreement for the Development of the Rodeo Grounds and Sunken Garden Area as a Civic Center and Parks and Recreation Area (Agreement), which authorized the City’s acquisition of an approximately 33-acre property located south of Pacific Avenue and to the north and east of Livermore Avenue known as the Civic Center property. The Agreement required the completion and dedication of a public park commemorating the contributions of the Stockmen and those who served in the armed forces of the United States.

The City and the Stockmen’s Association have since amended the Agreement. In 2018 the agreement was amended to include a public park called Stockmen’s Park, a park easement designating certain portions as a “Cultural Facility Area” and other portions as “Commercial Use Areas” for the development of facilities such as a black box theater, a science and society center, open space support, and development of commercial uses such as the expansion of Blacksmith Square. Minor adjustments were made in 2022 to the Stockmen’s Park easement boundaries in conformance with slight parcel boundary modifications needed to facilitate the development of the Downtown Plan and its commercial use area for the Blacksmith Square expansion project and the cultural uses area for the Black Box Theater project.

On December 22, 2022, Blacksmith Square LLC (Developer) acquired the City owned property located within the Commercial Use Areas of the easement.

On October 26, 2023, the Developer applied for and the City approved entitlements for a proposed expansion of Blacksmith Square development within the Commercial Use Area.

On November 6, 2023, the Developer applied for building permits for their expansion project. As part of the City’s review of the permit plans it was determined that the Developer needs to route power and communication utilities just outside their western boundary on City property in order to serve their development.

Staff proposes to dedicate a PUE over City Property within a portion of Stockmen’s Park adjacent to the western boundary of the designated Commercial Use areas. The PUE is needed to allow for required public utilities to serve the approved expanded Blacksmith Square Development within the designated Commercial Use Area.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The PUE would not result in additional fiscal or administrative impacts and would help facilitate implementation of developing the Commercial Use Area within the Downtown Plan.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION DEDICATING A PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT (PUE) TO THE

PUBLIC OVER A PORTION OF CITY OWNED LAND WITHIN A PORTION OF STOCKMEN’S PARK AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE

PUE TO SERVE THE DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL USE AREAS ADJACENT TO STOCKMEN’S PARK
In 1962 the City of Livermore (“City”) and the Livermore Stockmen’s Rodeo Association (“Stockmen’s Association”) entered into an agreement for the Development of the Rodeo Grounds and Sunken Garden Area as a Civic Center and Parks and Recreation Area (“Agreement”), which authorized the City’s acquisition of an approximately 33-acre property located south of Pacific Avenue and to the north and east of Livermore Avenue known as the Civic Center property. The Agreement required the completion and dedication of a public park commemorating the contributions of the Stockmen and those who served in the armed forces of the United States.

The City and the Stockmen’s Association have since amended the Agreement. In 2018 the agreement was amended to include a public park called Stockmen’s Park, a park easement designating certain portions as a “Cultural Facility Area” and other portions as “Commercial Use Areas” for the development of facilities such as a black box theater, a science and society center, open space support, and development of commercial uses such as the expansion of Blacksmith Square. Minor adjustments were made in 2022 to the Stockmen’s Park easement boundaries in conformance with slight parcel boundary modifications needed to facilitate the development of the Downtown Plan and its commercial use area for the Blacksmith Square expansion project and cultural uses area for the Black Box Theater project.

On December 22, 2022, Blacksmith Square LLC (Developer) acquired the City owned property located within the Commercial Use Areas of the easement.

On October 26, 2023, the Developer applied for and the City approved entitlements for a proposed expansion of Blacksmith Square development within the Commercial Use Area.

On November 6, 2023, the Developer applied for building permits for their expansion project.

44 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.4
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution to summarily vacate a portion of public right-of-way along South Livermore Avenue and authorizing execution of quitclaim deeds to accommodate the approved Blacksmith Square Expansion project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution summarily vacating a portion of right-of-way for public highway purposes along South Livermore Avenue approximately 0.4 feet in width, for a total of

67.461 square feet of right-of-way and authorize the City Manager to quitclaim the right-of-way to Maroon Bear, a California Limited Partnership and Blacksmith Square LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (Property Owners).

SUMMARY
Staff proposes to vacate a portion of right-of-way located along South Livermore Avenue as described in the Plat and Legal Descriptions in Exhibit A to the resolution. This vacation is required to eliminate the existing building encroachments caused by architectural elements and allow for the future new building expansions in accordance with the approved Blacksmith Square Expansion project. The Blacksmith Square Expansion project includes approximately 13,000 square feet of new commercial space, which will help to create the pedestrian-friendly shopping environment approved in the Downtown Core Concept Plan. This portion of right-of-way is no longer needed because the existing walkway created outside the existing building envelopes and the proposed new buildings meet the city’s downtown pedestrian pathway standards and requirements. Therefore, the City can summarily vacate the right-ofway along South Livermore Avenue and authorize execution of the quitclaim deeds releasing the right-ofway to the Property Owners, as depicted in the Exhibits B and C to the resolution.

DISCUSSION
On October 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-177 authorizing an Amended and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Red Bear Property Management, Inc. for development of downtown commercial uses. Under the amended and adopted DDA, Red Bear Property Management, Inc. will develop approximately 13,000 square feet of new commercial retail space 45 consistent with the City Council’s approved Downtown Core Concept Plan. This development is known as the Blacksmith Square Expansion project.

On October 4, 2023, the City initiated an application for Consistency Determination (CD) 23-005 to vacate a small portion of public right-of-way located within South Livermore Avenue to accommodate the existing and proposed buildings in Blacksmith Square. The existing buildings in Blacksmith Square, as well as an area of proposed new building expansions, encroach beyond their respective parcel boundaries and extend into the right-of-way along South Livermore Avenue. Expanding Blacksmith Square as envisioned in the approved Downtown Core Concept Plan requires vacation of the right-ofway and a quitclaim of the area of encroachment to the property owners.

Government Code Section 65402(a) requires that if a General Plan has been adopted, no real property or easements used for public purposes shall be acquired or disposed of until the location, purpose, and extent of such acquisition or disposition has been reported upon by the planning agency (e.g. Planning Commission) as to conformity with its adopted General Plan. This includes vacation of public right-of-way needed for public purposes in whole or in part.

On December 5, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution approving Consistency Determination (CD) 23-005, finding the City’s vacation of a portion of public right-of-way located on South Livermore Avenue is no longer needed for public highway purposes and that the vacation of this portion of right-of-way is consistent with the General Plan.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The financial burden to maintain this unused public right-of-way in a safe condition is greater than its public value. By vacating the property, the City eliminates the need to maintain the property and reduces associated liability resulting in a minor financial benefit to the City.

A RESOLUTION TO SUMMARILY VACATE A PORTION OF PUBLIC

RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG SOUTH LIVERMORE AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING

EXECUTION OF QUITCLAIM DEEDS TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPROVED

BLACKSMITH SQUARE EXPANSION PROJECT
On October 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-177 authorizing an Amended and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with Red Bear Property Management, Inc. for development of downtown commercial uses. Under the amended and adopted DDA, Red Bear Property Management Inc. will develop approximately 13,000 square feet of new commercial retail space consistent with the City Council’s approved Downtown Core Concept Plan, known as the Blacksmith Square Expansion project.

On October 4, 2023, the City of Livermore (“City”) initiated an application for Consistency Determination (CD) 23-005 to vacate a small portion of public right-of-way located within South Livermore Avenue to accommodate the existing and proposed buildings in Blacksmith Square. The existing buildings in Blacksmith Square, as well as an area of proposed building expansion, encroach beyond their respective parcel boundaries and extend into the public right-of-way along South Livermore Avenue. Expanding Blacksmith Square as envisioned in the approved Downtown Core Concept Plan requires vacation of the right-of-way and a quitclaim of the area of encroachment to the property owner.

The vacation of a small portion of public right-of-way is necessary to implement the Blacksmith Square Expansion project consistent with the City Council’s approved Downtown Core Concept Plan. Portions of the existing historic and non-historic buildings in Blacksmith Square, and an area of planned new building expansion, encroach beyond their respective parcel boundaries and extend into the public right-of-way along South Livermore Avenue by approximately 0.4 feet for a total of 67.461 square feet. Expanding Blacksmith Square as envisioned in the approved Downtown Core Concept Plan requires vacation of the right-of-way and a quitclaim of the area of encroachment to the Maroon Bear, a California Limited Partnership and Blacksmith Square LLC, a California Limited Liability Company.

EXEMPT FROM FILING FEES
PURSUANT TO GOV.

CODE § 27383
49 Streets and Highways Code section 8334, et seq., allow the legislative body of a local agency to summarily vacate excess right-of-way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes.

Staff recommended and the Planning Commission made a General Plan consistency finding on December 5, 2023, affirming that the vacation of a portion of right-of-way along South Livermore Avenue would be consistent with the General Plan and adopted a resolution approving Consistency Determination (CD) 23-005.,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that to the extent the quitclaim of the easement to be vacated constitutes a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), this action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations, section 15061 because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and the area to be vacated is being substituted for in a manner that adequately maintains the function of the right-of-way and consistency with City Standards.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it hereby:

1. Vacates a portion of public right-of-way located along South Livermore Avenue, as shown and described in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and described below.

The public right-of-way vacated includes a small portion of the existing sidewalk (approximately 67 square feet). This portion of right-of-way is not useable or accessible as it is situated underneath the brick facades of the existing buildings in Blacksmith Square and under the new building as part of the Blacksmith Square Expansion Project and is no longer needed at its current location (Streets and Highways Code section 8334).

2. Directs the City Clerk to file a certified copy of this resolution of vacation with associated legal description with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office.

3. Authorizes that from and after the date this resolution is recorded, the small portion of public right-of-way is vacated and no longer constitutes public right-of-way for street or highway purposes.

4. Authorizes the City Manager to sign on behalf of the City of Livermore, the Quitclaim Deed, attached hereto as Exhibit B, to convey to Blacksmith Square LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, and the Quitclaim Deed, attached hereto as Exhibit C, to convey to Maroon Bear, a California Limited Partnership.

63 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.5
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement between the City of Livermore and 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC for a downtown hotel.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement between the City of Livermore and 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC for a downtown hotel.

SUMMARY
The proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement (DDLA) between the City of Livermore (City) and 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC (Developer) for a downtown hotel modifies the performance schedule to allow the Developer more time to deliver the hotel, as well as modifies several sections of the Definitions and payment terms to be internally consistent with the modified schedule. The amendment further modifies the DDLA to identify a series of steps to be taken if the Developer fails to meet the deadlines set forth in the new performance schedule.

The original Disposition and Development Agreement approved by the City Council in 2018 called for commencement of construction in June 2020 and opening of the hotel in December 2021. However, a series of referenda and initiative challenges caused significant delays to the hotel project and led to cost increases that necessitated the removal of underground parking as identified in the amended and restated DDLA approved by Council in January 2022.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a damaging effect on tourism and business travel, which has resulted in reduced demand for new hotel development. Following the pandemic, a prolonged period of economic inflation has resulted in increased costs for materials, labor, and capital, which has further challenged the Developer’s ability to deliver the hotel, and the related payments, in accordance with the original Schedule of Performance.

DISCUSSION
64 Background
On July 27, 2016, the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with Presidio to establish procedures and standards for the negotiation of a Purchase and Sale Agreement for disposition and development of a downtown hotel. The City Council extended the ENRA with Presidio throughout the public engagement and plan development process for the new Downtown Core plan. On February 26, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-024 authorizing the execution of a Hotel Term Sheet with Presidio for the preparation of a Disposition and Development agreement for a downtown hotel.

On September 10, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-154 approving Specific Plan Amendment 18-001 (the “September 2018 Amendments”) to facilitate the phased implementation of the approved Downtown Plan and provisions to allow up to a four-story hotel. At this same meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-155 approving Downtown Design Review for a four-story, 133-room hotel on the southeast corner of Railroad and South Livermore Avenue.

On October 11, 2018, the City received a referendum petition entitled “Referendum Against Portions of a Resolution Passed by the City Council Resolution No. 2018-154” (hereinafter “Referendum”). The Referendum challenged three portions of the September 2018 Amendments, specifically the amendments to Chapter 5 (Development Standards –Core), Chapter 7 (Circulation and Transportation), and Chapter 8 (Parking Standards).

On November 26, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-200 accepting certification by the City Clerk as to the sufficiency of signatures on the Referendum. The Council’s successive adoption of Resolution 2018-201 repealed the Specific Plan Amendments listed in the referendum petition (Chapters 5, 7 and 8) and confirmed that the remaining amendments to the Downtown Specific Plan approved by Resolution No. 2018-154 remain in effect.

The repeal of the September 2018 Amendments to Chapters 5, 7, and 8 necessitated several adjustments to the Downtown Plan. The adjustments included reduced building heights for the hotel and the L Street parking structure, requiring two-story buildings adjacent to Blacksmith Square, and an adjustment to the land use standards to accommodate additional surface parking. The remaining components of the Downtown Plan were consistent with the Specific Plan that existed before the September 2018 Amendments.

California Elections Code section 9241 provided that, until November 27, 2019 (one year from the actions taken to repeal), the City could not readopt the same amendments to Chapters 5, 7, and 8 that were challenged by the Referendum. However, the City could consider amendments to the same chapters within the one year repeal period, provided the amendments were different from the previous amendments and avoid the objections made to the previous amendments. On May 13, 2019, within the one-year time frame, the City Council readopted amendments to Specific Plan Chapters 5, 7, and 8, that were outside the Referendum’s issues of concern, including provision of additional parking and the removal of the regional theater from the Downtown Specific Plan. Due to rising construction costs during the delay caused by the 2018 Referendum, the provision of between 70 to 150 parking spaces in a new public or private parking facility accessed from K Street was included in the project at that time as an alternative to an underground parking garage. Removal of the regional theater language was also included in the amendments to the Specific Plan that were not challenged. 65 On July 29, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 2019-137 accepting the City Clerk’s certification that the petition entitled “Citizen’s Initiative Changing Development Regulations in Downtown Livermore and Amending Regulations to Allow Housing at the Civic Center” contained the sufficient number of signatures required to qualify it for the ballot. On August 26, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 2019-142 calling for and giving notice of the holding of a general election for the submittal of an initiative petition entitled: “Citizen’s Initiative Changing Development Regulations in Downtown Livermore and amending regulations to allow housing at the Civic Center” to the voters of the City of Livermore and consolidating that election with the general municipal election to be held Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

On July 22, 2019, the City Council introduced an ordinance approving a development agreement with 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC for the Wine Country Hotel at the Bankhead project (Development Agreement 19-001). The ordinance was adopted as Ordinance No. 2089 on second reading by the City Council on July 29, 2019.

On August 28, 2019, a referendum petition entitled “Referendum Against Ordinance No. 2089 Passed by the City Council (Development Agreement 19-001)” was filed with the City Clerk, seeking to repeal the ordinance.

On September 20, 2019, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters certified the sufficiency of the signatures for that referendum.

On October 14, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-162, calling for and giving notice of holding a special municipal election to be held on March 3, 2020, for the purpose of submitting Ordinance No. 2089, approving a development agreement for the Wine Country Hotel at the Bankhead project (Development Agreement 19-001), to the voters for approval. That ballot measure was designated Measure P on the ballot for the March 3, 2020 election.

On March 3, 2020, Livermore voters passed Measure P by over a 2/3 majority vote in favor - approving the development agreement between the City and Presidio to build the downtown hotel. On May 11, 2020, the City Council readopted the Specific Plan Amendments to Chapters 5, 7, and 8 that were challenged by the Referendum, with the exception of the amendments related to the boutique hotel site at the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and South Livermore Avenue. At the same meeting, City Council directed staff to return with another Specific Plan Amendment to reintroduce the hotel amendments.

On October 26, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-179 approving another Downtown Specific Plan Amendment to reestablish the four-story height limit for the hotel and enable implementation of the approved boutique hotel consistent with the approved Downtown Plan.

On January 10, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution number 2022-008 authorizing execution of an Amended and Restated Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement with the Developer, which included a site acquisition loan in the amount of $1,923,750 for the acquisition of 2080 Railroad Avenue to serve as parking. The resolution also authorized a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $1,923,750 from the General Fund to be directed to the site acquisition loan described in the DDLA. The Amended and Restated DDLA also established a new timeline for the hotel project, with construction expected to commence no later than May of 2024.
66 Amendment to the Amended and Restated DDLA
The proposed first amendment to the Amended and Restated DDLA would make two significant changes to the agreement. The first change would modify the performance schedule to allow the Developer more time to deliver the hotel project; several additional sections of the DDLA would also be modified to maintain internal consistency with the new dates in the revised performance schedule. The second change to the DDLA identifies a new set of actions to be taken if the Developer falls out of compliance with the revised performance schedule. Those actions are described as follows.

In the event the Developer fails to achieve any milestone in the revised performance schedule, under the proposed amendment the Developer would be required to fund a market feasibility study performed by a consultant that is selected by the City. The intent of the study would be to determine if the hotel project is feasible under market conditions at the time of the study. If, based upon the market feasibility study, the City Manager determines the project is not feasible under current market conditions, each remaining deadline in the performance schedule shall be extended exactly one year.

If the Developer does not meet one or more of the extended deadlines of the performance schedule after the one-year extension, the City Manager shall have the sole discretion to require the Developer to conduct, at the Developer’s sole expense, a second market feasibility study to determine whether the hotel project is feasible under market conditions at that time.

If, based upon the second market feasibility study, the City Manager determines the project is not feasible under current market conditions, the City shall have sole discretion to (1) require the Developer to meet and confer with the City to identify an alternative path forward for the Project, and (2) terminate this Agreement and all related agreements.

If, based upon either the first or second market feasibility study, the City Manager determines the project is feasible under current market conditions, the Developer must, within six months of the completion of the relevant market feasibility study, either (1) complete any and all actions that are at that time past due, (2) identify a new development partner, subject to the City’s approval, to assist the Developer with coming into compliance with the performance schedule, or (3) sell the project to another developer subject to the City’s approval. After the end of the six-month period, the City Manager, in her sole discretion, may grant one six-month extension to complete the action chosen under this subsection.

In the event the Developer does not fulfill its obligation under this section after the required time period, the City shall have the sole discretion to terminate this agreement and all related agreements. The City shall also retain the rights to use the Project plans and designs for future use, including with another developer, in exchange for a payment to Developer in an amount not to exceed the actual cost to the Developer of preparing the Project plans and designs, as shown by the Developer’s business records.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The proposed first amendment to the Amended and Restated DDLA would delay the repayment of the $1,923,750 loaned to the Developer for the purpose of acquiring additional parking, as well as the completion of payment for the $71,521 purchase price of the land.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE FIRST

AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DISPOSITION

AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH
2205 RAILROAD AVENUE LLC FOR A DOWNTOWN HOTEL
On October 1, 2018, the City of Livermore (“City”) and 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Developer”), entered into a Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (“DDLA”) for the purchase of the City-owned parcels located on the southeast corner of South Livermore Avenue and Railroad Avenue in downtown Livermore and development of the parcels for a hotel project.

On August 22, 2022, the City and Developer entered into an Amended and Restated Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (“Amended and Restated DDLA”), which replaced the original DDLA.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a damaging effect on tourism and business travel, which has resulted in reduced demand for new hotel development. Following the pandemic, a prolonged period of economic inflation has resulted in increased costs for materials, labor, and capital, which has further challenged the Developer’s ability to deliver the hotel, and the related payments, in accordance with the Schedule of Performance of the Amended and Restated DDLA.

To account for these challenges, the City and Developer desire to enter into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement to modify the Schedule of Performance of the Amended and Restated DDLA and the associated sections and exhibit documents in the Amended and Restated DDLA affected by the modified Schedule of Performance.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore, that it hereby authorizes the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement between the City and 2205 Railroad Avenue LLC, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

On motion of Council Member ______________________, seconded by Council Member ______________________, the foregoing resolution was passed and adopted on July 22, 2024, by the following vote:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.6
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. for services to support the administration of the City’s Affordable First-Time Homebuyer Program and Mortgage Assistance Program in a not-to-exceed amount of $400,000, a term ending June 30, 2029, and appropriating $400,000 over five years from the Housing Trust Fund.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. for services to support the administration of the City’s Affordable FirstTime Homebuyer Program and Mortgage Assistance Program in a not-to-exceed amount of $400,000, a term ending June 30, 2029, and appropriate $400,000 over five years from the Housing Trust Fund.

SUMMARY
In March 2024, the City issued a Request for Qualifications to identify agencies that could support the administration of the City’s Affordable First-Time Homebuyer Programs (Below Market Rate [“BMR”] Homebuyer Program) and Mortgage Assistance Program [“MAP”]). Michael Baker International, Inc. was selected as the agency most qualified to provide the range of services the City needs. The proposed five-year Professional Services Agreement includes services to be the primary contact for all inquiries and correspondence on the Program, assist with developing program market information, establish and maintain a waitlist, conduct workshops and selection process, and manage the transaction through closing, and manage refinances and resales of existing BMRs. Staff recommends approval of the Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. and an appropriation of $400,000 over five (5) years from the City's Housing Trust Fund for the services. The City is able to recover and defray the cost of these services through fees paid by developers selling BMR inclusionary units and other transaction fees.

DISCUSSION
The City of Livermore generates affordable homeownership opportunities (BMR for-sale units) through its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Additionally, the City provides a Mortgage Assistance Program, 130
which provides down payment and closing cost assistance loans, using local and State CalHome funding, for first-time homebuyers who have incomes between 80% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI).

The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance was first adopted in 2000. The ordinance requires developers of new for-sale residential projects to provide between 10% and 20% of units (depending on location within the City) to be made available for purchase to low-, median-, and moderate-income households, at or below 80%, 100%, and 120% of Area Median Income, respectively. The BMR units are subject to silent mortgages, second mortgages, and resale restrictions with the purchasers to secure the City’s affordable housing interest in the units.

The pipeline of ownership BMR units is secured through City Council-approved affordable housing agreements with developers. The City currently has 155 BMR ownership units and mortgage assistance loans in its portfolio which require annual monitoring and coordination with homeowners. Currently, the City also has five affordable housing agreements with developers of projects that are expected to start construction within the next five years and will generate an additional 140 affordable, for-sale units. To prepare for the high volume of units, in March 2024, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify agencies that could provide administration support and homebuyer counseling services for the City's BMR Homebuyer Program and Mortgage Assistance Program which were previously provided by ZASM Consulting, LLC. These services include acting as the primary contact for all inquiries and correspondence on the Program, assisting with developing program market information, establishing and maintaining a waitlist, conducting workshops and selection process, managing the transaction through closing, and managing refinances and resales of existing BMRs. Two firms submitted proposals: Michael Baker International, Inc. and Rise Housing.

During the selection process, staff considered each firm’s pricing, ability to scale operations, experience, and marketing capabilities in reaching low-, median-, and moderate-income households. Based on the above criteria, Michael Baker International, Inc. was selected as the firm most qualified to provide the BMR administration services requested in the RFQ. The key enhancements in contracting for Michael Baker International, Inc.'s services include their service cost efficiency, capacity to expand staffing during increased influxes of available BMRs, and ability to translate and create brochures to reach Spanishspeaking residents. Additionally, the City of Livermore currently contracts with Michael Baker International, Inc. to monitor annual BMR compliance.

The proposed FY 2025-29 Professional Services Agreement includes fees for services to be provided as needed for the sale of BMR units and other mortgage assistant services. The estimated budget for new Below Market Unit sales, including administration of the City's Applicant Selection Process ("Lottery") is based on the number of units anticipated to be sold through existing Low Income Housing Agreements each fiscal year. BMR administration services include screening and qualifying prospective applicants according to the City's criteria and interfacing with the City's buyers and mortgage lenders through the close of escrow. Other first-time homebuyer services, including mortgage assistance program administration, have been included in the agreement on a variable, as-needed basis.

Not to Exceed Total
$400,000
*The “Additional Services Contingency” cost of $25,500 each year covers periods when a higher number of BMRs become available due to the completion of new construction.

Staff recommends City Council approve a five-year contract with the consultant so that the City secures consistent services for new development projects expected to deliver affordable units during that period.

As indicated in the contract, the City may terminate any portion or all of the services by giving Consultant at least 30 calendar days written notice.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funds to support the administration of the City’s Affordable First-Time Homebuyer Program and Mortgage Assistance Program are appropriated from the City's Housing Trust Fund (F611). The City collects an administrative fee equal to 1.5 percent of the affordable sales price from developers upon close of escrow and sale to the eligible buyers to pay for marketing costs, BMR applicant selection, and to defray ongoing monitoring costs. The administrative fee for resale BMR units would be collected from the seller by the City upon close of escrow to a new eligible purchaser. The fees are updated annually in the City's master fee schedule. The estimated administrative cost recovery per unit for the FY 2025-29 contract period averages $6,400 per affordable unit and would be deposited into Fund 611.

10. Confidentiality. Consultant shall not disclose any confidential or proprietary information received from City to anyone except Consultant’s employees who require access to the information to perform the Services. This obligation shall survive termination and remain in full force and effect until the information, and any copies thereof, are destroyed or returned to City.

11. Defense, Indemnity, and Hold Harmless. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend with counsel selected by the City or otherwise acceptable to the City, the City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, directors, employees, agents and designated volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the services contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with Consultant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except for such Liability caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of City. Consultant’s obligations to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend shall not be excused because of Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that Consultant is not liable to the claimant. These obligations are independent of, and shall not in any way be limited by, the minimum insurance obligations contained in this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement. Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City.

13. Acceptance of Final Payment. Consultant’s acceptance of final payment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.

14. Acceptance of Work. City’s acceptance of, or payment to Consultant for, the Services does not release Consultant from its responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or competency of the Services, nor do the actions constitute an DocuSign Envelope ID: 7235AFB1-2F0E-4B45-8188-8CA4AD94564E

assumption of Consultant’s responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services.

Consultant shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Consultant's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement. If any of the Services are paid by reimbursement from an agreement between City and a private party, Consultant represents that it has not performed any work for that private party during the 12-month period prior to the execution of this Agreement, and that it shall not negotiate, offer or accept any contract for services from that party during the term of this Agreement.

16. Economic Disclosure. Consultant shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code and the Political Reform Act, and prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the Services involve making, or participation in making, decisions which may have a material effect on the Consultants’ financial interest. While it is Consultant’s sole responsibility to evaluate its conflicts of interest, the Consultant nevertheless agrees to prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if requested by City.

17. Non-Exclusive Agreement. This is a non-exclusive agreement. City reserves the right to provide, and to retain other consultants to provide, services that are the same or similar to the Services described in this Agreement.

18. No Assignment. Consultant shall not assign or subcontract any of the Services without City’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this section, a change of fiftypercent or more in the ownership or control of Consultant constitutes an assignment.

19. Remedies. All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, the Consultant must present a written claim to City in accordance with Chapter 3.42 of the Livermore Municipal Code.

20. Construction of Language. The terms and conditions in this Agreement have been arrived at through negotiation and each party had a full and fair opportunity to review and revise this Agreement with legal counsel. Any ambiguity in this Agreement will not be resolved against either party as the drafting party. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict between the language in the body of the Agreement and an attachment hereto, the language in the body of the Agreement controls.

21. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to the Services.

Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. In the event the original of this Agreement is lost or destroyed, an archival copy maintained by City can be used in place of the original for all purposes with the same effect as if it was the original.

To be effective, a waiver must be in writing and signed by the non-breaching party.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the change of the General Partner for 2891 Carmen, L.P., owner of the Carmen Avenue Apartments from Satellite AHA Development, Inc. to ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC, to streamline property management and service delivery.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC as the new General Partner in the 2891 Carmen, L.P., California limited partnership for the Carmen Avenue Apartments to streamline property management and service delivery once Abode oversees all aspects of the partnership.

SUMMARY
Carmen Avenue Apartments is owned by the 2891 Carmen, L.P., a limited partnership between Satellite AHA Development, Inc. (SAHA) as the Managing General Partner, and Abode Housing Development (AHD) as the Co-General Partner. SAHA has agreed to transfer the full role of Managing General Partner to Abode Housing under a new affiliate, ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC and transition the property management responsibilities to Abode Property Management (APM). APM works in alliance with Abode Housing Development and partners with Abode Services to support the needs of the residents. The changes are intended to streamline property management and service delivery under one provider for the residents and provide consistency. In accordance with the City's loan and regulatory agreements with the 2891 Carmen L.P., any changes to the general partnership must be approved by the City.

DISCUSSION
In October 2006, the City executed loan and regulatory agreements for the Carmen Avenue Apartments project with 2891 Carmen L.P., for $2,665,000 In-Lieu and Housing Trust Funds. At that time, the Carmen limited partnership included Affordable Housing Associates as the General Partner, and Allied Housing as the Co-General Partner. The City's loan agreement reserved the right to approve any changes to the General Partner within the 2891 Carmen limited partnership. 148
In January 2013, the City approved a Change of Name Amendment reflecting the merger of Affordable Housing Associates and Satellite Housing, Inc., with the corporate name changed to Satellite AHA Development, Inc. (SAHA). SAHA is the current Managing General Partner of 2891 Carmen, L.P. On July 7, 2023, the Co-General Partner, Allied Housing, changed to Abode Housing Development (AHD).

Now, SAHA has agreed to transfer the Managing General Partner role to Abode Services under a new affiliate, ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC. Additionally, they have agreed to transition the property management responsibilities from SAHA to Abode Property Management (APM).

APM has provided property management services for affordable housing, serving low-income, homeless disabled, and other special needs households for over 42 years. APM is a $39 million organization that currently provides property and asset management to more than 52 affordable/supportive housing properties with over 900 units serving seniors, families, veterans, special needs, vulnerable populations, or low-income individuals financed with Federal, State, tax credit, and local funding across Alameda, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties.

APM’s leadership team has experience managing a wide array of affordable housing properties and funding types, including permanent supportive housing, low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC), HOME funded units, properties with project-based Section 8 vouchers, and the State's Multi-Family Housing Program (MHP), all of which are applicable to Carmen Avenue.

This change in Managing General Partner will allow AHD to assume 100% interest in the partnership and provide direct oversight. AHD is a member of the Abode strategic alliance which includes Abode Housing Development (AHD), Abode Services (AS), and Abode Property Management (APM). Abode Services has been the resident services provider since the project first opened and intends to continue to deliver services with more efficiency and effectiveness once Abode oversees all aspects of the partnership. This change in Managing General Partner will allow AHD to work closer with AS, as well as APM as the property management agent for service delivery at Carmen. APM specializes in working with permanent supportive housing households.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Changes to the agreement do not increase the City's financial commitment to the project and will have no impact on the City's General Fund.

RESOLUTION NO. ________

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC AS THE NEW GENERAL PARTNER IN THE 2891 CARMEN, L.P. FOR THE

CARMEN AVENUE APARTMENTS TO STREAMLINE PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE

PROJECT
On October 23, 2006, the City of Livermore ("City") and 2891 Carmen, L.P., a California Limited Partnership ("Partnership") entered into a First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement for the Use of In-Lieu and Housing Trust Funds in the principal amount of $2,665,000 (Instrument No. 2006405749) ("Loan Agreement") for the Carmen Avenue Apartments project.

The Loan Agreement requires the City's approval before the Partnership may replace its General Partner.

The Partnership desires to replace its current managing General Partner, Satellite AHA Development, Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, and its Co-General Partner, Abode Housing Development, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, with a new General Partner, ABODEHD 2891 CARMEN LLC, a California limited liability company.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.8
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of a second amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Livermore, Alameda County, and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to modify provisions of collection services to meet compliance with Senate Bill 1383 in the County Collection Zone 1 and to determine no further action under CEQA is required.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Livermore, Alameda County, and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to modify provisions of collection services to meet compliance with Senate Bill 1383 in the County Collection Zone 1 and to determine that no further action under CEQA is required.

SUMMARY
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Livermore, Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI) defines responsibilities related to the provision of solid waste, recycling, and organics services in areas of Alameda County, and allows LSI to use City of Livermore rate payerfunded assets in exchange for an annual credit to the rates charged by LSI.

In September of 2023, after the assignment of LSI to Waste Connections was approved by Alameda County, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Livermore, Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to recognize the assignment and redefine some County services to comply with Senate Bill (SB) 1383.

The City of Livermore has made the determination that the Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. does not constitute a project under CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines which provides that organizational and administrative activities of governments that will not result in physical changes in the environment are not considered projects for CEQA purposes. With this determination, no further action under CEQA 164
is required.

The City of Livermore, Alameda County, and LSI now desire to identify the collection services more specifically within the County Collection Zone No. 1 to meet compliance with SB 1383 and modify the MOU to clarify the provision of such services. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the MOU.

DISCUSSION
On July 1, 2010, Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI) began services in the City of Livermore and shortly thereafter began services in nearby unincorporated areas of Alameda County. On November 26, 2012, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Livermore, Alameda County and LSI to define responsibilities related to the provision of solid waste, recycling, and organics services in areas of Alameda County, and allow LSI to use City of Livermore rate payer-funded assets in exchange for an annual credit to the rates charged by LSI. This MOU is included as Exhibit P in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement (Franchise Agreement) approved by the City Council in April 2020.

In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Organic Waste Reductions law, known as Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which established aggressive targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the statewide disposal of organic waste. In November 2020, CalRecycle finalized the SB 1383 Regulations which established the regulatory requirements for jurisdictions and are contained in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. The Franchise Agreement includes programs to comply with SB 1383 regulatory changes and outlines LSI staff responsibilities and funding for required organics monitoring, reporting, and contamination reduction to demonstrate compliance.

In the fall of 2021, Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI) staff notified the City that they planned to sell LSI to another company, Waste Connections, along with their holdings in San Jose and Milpitas, and parts of eastern Alameda County served by LSI. On November 28, 2022, the Livermore City Council approved the assignment of Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to Waste Connections.

On November 22, 2022, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors authorized the Interim Director of the Community Development Agency to negotiate and execute an agreement to assign the obligations of the MOU to Waste Connections.

In September of 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Livermore, Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to include services to eastern Alameda County to ensure County compliance with SB 1383, adding programs similar to those provided to the Livermore community as stated in Exhibit D1 of the Franchise Agreement.

City of Livermore, Alameda County, and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. now desire to modify provisions of collection services to meet compliance with Senate Bill 1383 in the County Collection Zone 1. The proposed Second Amendment updates the MOU to include additional definitions to clarify terms related to SB 1383 compliance, specifies the implementation plan for SB 1383 compliant services, and detailing the collection services and rates for Mandatory and Optional Service Areas in the County.

The City of Livermore has made the determination that the second amendment to the Memorandum of 165
Understanding with Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. does not constitute a project under CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, which provides that organizational and administrative activities of governments that will not result in physical changes in the environment are not considered projects for CEQA purposes. With this determination, no further action under CEQA is required.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the attached amendment to the MOU.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
LSI secured City approval to use assets (e.g., trucks) paid for by the ratepayers of Livermore to provide the County collection service in exchange for a credit for the use of assets. The scheduled reimbursement for Rate Year 15 (FY 2024-25) is $85,444. The credit calculation is based on the number of container "lifts" in the commercial sector and the number of accounts in the residential sector in the County area, as it relates to the number of lifts and accounts in the total service area between the City and the County. This calculation is further described by Section 6.4 of Exhibit P to the City's Franchise Agreement.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A SECOND

AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN

THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, ALAMEDA COUNTY, AND LIVERMORE
SANITATION, INC. TO MODIFY PROVISIONS OF COLLECTION

SERVICES FOR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES
The City of Livermore (“City”) and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (“LSI”) are parties to the Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Compostable Materials Services dated May 9, 2011 (the “LSI Agreement”) that provided services within the corporate limits of the City.

The LSI Agreement was then amended by the Third Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Compostable Materials Services dated April 27, 2020, and which was further amended by a First Amendment and then on November 28, 2022, by a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement (collectively the “Amended LSI Agreement”).

On November 26, 2012, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to define responsibilities related to the provision of solid waste, recycling, and organics services in areas of Alameda County, and allow LSI to use City of Livermore rate payer-funded assets in exchange for an annual credit to the rates charged by LSI. This MOU is included as Exhibit P in the Amended LSI Agreement approved by the City Council in April 2020.

In the fall of 2021, LSI staff notified the City that they planned to sell LSI to another company, Waste Connections, along with their holdings in San Jose and Milpitas, and parts of eastern Alameda County served by LSI
On Nov 22, 2022, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors authorized the Interim Director of the Community Development Agency to negotiate and execute an agreement to assign the obligations of the MOU to Waste Connections.

On November 28, 2022, the Livermore City Council approved the Assignment of Livermore Sanitation, Inc. to Waste Connections.

On September 11, 2023, the Livermore City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the MOU to include services to eastern Alameda County to ensure County compliance with SB 1383, adding programs similar to those provided to the Livermore community as stated in Exhibit D1 of the Franchise Agreement.

City of Livermore, Alameda County, and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. now desire to modify provisions of collection services to meet compliance with Senate Bill 1383 in the County Collection Zone 1. The proposed Second Amendment updates the MOU to include additional definitions to clarify terms related to SB 1383 compliance, specifies the implementation plan for SB 1383 compliant services, and detailing the collection services and rates for Mandatory and Optional Service Areas in the County.

The County has filed a Notice of Determination/Notice of Exemption in compliance with Section 21108 or 21152 of the Public Resources Code so that the County will prepare findings pertaining to that agency that the MOU is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act 167
RESOLUTION NO.
(CEQA) and on a separate and independent basis, the County determined this project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308, Class 8 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it is an action that involves procedures for protecting the environment; therefore, it will not have a significant impact on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it hereby:

1. Authorizes the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc., a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference.

The Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County and Livermore Sanitation, Inc. is not subject to the requirements of CEQA as it is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378(b)(5) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. With this determination, no further action pursuant to CEQA is required. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings have been based are located at the City Clerk’s Office. The custodian for these records is the City Clerk.

2. Authorizes the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including approving minor changes to the proposed Memorandum of Understanding.

3.4 Rate Adjustments
Upon written notice to Contractor and the City that the County wishes to adjust the rates charged to County Customers, Contractor and the County agree to meet and confer to discuss amendments to this MOU setting forth the process for the County’s adjusting rates for County Customers.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, ALAMEDA COUNTY AND LIVERMORE SANITATION, INC.

REGARDING SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES

AND CONFIRMATION OF CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (“2023 Amendment”), dated for reference purposes as of January 1, 2023, is entered into by and between the CITY OF LIVERMORE, a municipal corporation (the “City”), the COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, a political subdivision of the State of California (“County”), and LIVERMORE SANITATION, INC., a California corporation (“LSI”) and WASTE CONNECTIONS US, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Waste Connections”) (each from time to time hereafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”), with respect to that Memorandum Of Understanding Between The City Of Livermore, Alameda County And Livermore Sanitation, Inc.

Regarding Solid Waste And Recycling Services dated for reference purposes as of November 6, 2012 (“2012 MOU” and collectively with this 2023 Amendment the “MOU”).

RECITALS
This Amendment is entered into by the Parties based on the following facts, findings, and determinations:

A. The City and LSI are parties to the Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Compostable Materials Services dated May 9, 2011 (the “LSI Agreement”) that provided services within the corporate limits of the City, which was then amended by the Third Amended and Restated Agreement For Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Compostable Materials Services dated April 27, 2020, and which was further amended by a First Amendment and then on November 28, 2022 by a Second Amendment To Third Amended And Restated Franchise Agreement (collectively the “Amended LSI Agreement”); and
B. On November 6, 2012 the County granted authority to LSI to provide services for the collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, and compostable materials in County Collection Zone No. 1 and thereafter the City, LSI and the County entered into the 2012 MOU in which LSI provided services in the County Collection Zone as set forth in the LSI Agreement as modified by the 2012 MOU; and C. LSI, Waste Connections and other parties have entered a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and
D. On or about December 1, 2022, at a closing (the “Closing”) in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the current shareholders of LSI sold all the common stock in LSI (the “LSI Shares”) to Waste Connections, which resulted in a change in majority control of LSI from the current owners; and E. The County has reviewed the documents prepared and considered by the City related to the Purchase Agreement including the Staff Report, Waste Connection Letter of Commitment, and the HFH Assignment Review Report on the November 28, 2022 City Council Agenda, agenda item 5.8, in which the City documented the terms and conditions upon which it relied to consent to the sale and assignment of LSI Shares to Waste Connections (the “Assignment”) as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Amended LSI Agreement. The County relies on these same representations and documents to consent to the Assignment in accordance with Section 12.2 of the 2012 MOU and notified the Parties of its intent to enter into this 2023 Amendment for documenting that consent; and F. Whereas, California Senate Bill 1383 of 2016, the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016 (“SB 1383”) (which added Sections 39730.5, 39730.6, and 39730.8 to the California Health and Safety Code, and added Chapter 13.1 (commencing with Section 42652) to Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code), took effect on January 1, 2017,setting Statewide Organic Waste disposal reduction

targets of 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025, and requiring the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane; and
G. Whereas, in November 2020, CalRecycle finalized the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Organic Waste Reductions Regulations (the “SLCP” or “SB 1383 Regulations”) which establish the regulatory requirementsfor jurisdictions, generators, haulers,solid waste facilities, and other entities, which are contained in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; and H. The County desires to have similar collection services within the unincorporated areas surrounding the City to those provided to the City under the Amended LSI Agreement, to meet compliance with SB 1383, and the City desired to assist the County by modifying the 2012 MOU to provide such services.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.9
DATE: July 22, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of agreements with GSW Construction, Inc. and Platinum Pipeline, Inc. for on-call construction services for City water, sewer, and storm drain systems for a three-year term in an amount not-to-exceed $2,400,000.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with Platinum Pipeline, Inc. and GSW Construction, Inc. for on-call construction services for City water, sewer, and storm drain systems for a three-year term in an amount not-to-exceed $2,400,000.

SUMMARY
City staff requires contracted services to provide on-call and urgent repairs to City water, sewer, and storm drain systems that are too extensive for City staff to complete. To ensure the best chance of repair work being handled in a timely manner, staff recommends awarding an on-call contract to two vendors rather than just one.

DISCUSSION
From time to time, City staff require the services of a contractor to provide planned and urgent repairs to the City's water, sewer, and storm drain systems. City staff routinely use these services where City staff cannot be tied up for long periods of time or where staff require additional support to complete larger repair jobs.

City staff initiated a competitive bid process on April 8, 2024 to select service providers for on-call construction services. Eight sealed bids were submitted on April 29, 2024. One of the bids was disqualified for incompleteness. The ordered ranking is as follows:

1. Platinum Pipeline, Inc.

2. GSW Construction, Inc.

3. DPI, Inc.
405

4. GradeTech

5. West Valley Construction

6. Kerex

7. McGuire and Hester
Platinum Pipeline, Inc., and GSW Construction, Inc. were the first and second ranked best value bids.

Staff recommends accepting the top two ranked bids and initiate new agreements for a three-year term beginning July 22, 2024 through June 30, 2027, with a combined not-to exceed amount of $2,400,000 over the three-year period.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
$800,000 for the first year of each agreement has been included in the FY 2024-25 operating budget, which will be split between the Wastewater Fund (620) and the Water Fund (640). The next two-year budget planning cycle will include funding for subsequent years. Staff does not anticipate any administrative impacts or impact on other City Funds due to the approval of these agreements.

COMMUNITY PILLAR

Contractor shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Contractor's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement.

13. Acceptance of Final Payment. Contractor’s acceptance of final payment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.

14. Acceptance of Work. City’s acceptance of, or payment to Contractor for, the Services does not release Contractor from its responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or competency of the Services, nor do the actions constitute an assumption of Contractor’s responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services.

15. Conflict of Interest. Contractor represents that no City employee or official has a financial interest in Contractor. Contractor shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Contractor's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement.

Contractor shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code and the Political Reform Act, and prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the Services involve making, or participation in making, decisions which may have a material effect on the Contractors’ financial interest.

19. Remedies. All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, the Contractor must present a written claim to City in accordance with Chapter 3.42 of the Livermore Municipal Code.

20. Construction of Language. The terms and conditions in this Agreement have been arrived at through negotiation and each party had a full and fair opportunity to review and revise this Agreement with legal counsel. Any ambiguity in this Agreement will not be resolved against either party as the drafting party. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict between the language in the body of the Agreement and an attachment hereto, the language in the body of the Agreement controls.

21. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to the Services.

Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. In the event the original of this Agreement is lost or destroyed, an archival copy maintained by City can be used in place of the original for all purposes with the same effect as if it was the original.
