FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the acceptance for permanent maintenance, release of the security bonds, and execution of a Notice of Completion for the Stream Maintenance by Contractors Project SD202523.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
On July 14, 2025, City Council authorized the City Manager to award a construction contract in an amount not-to-exceed $1,200,000 for the Stream Maintenance by Contractors Project SD202523.

Subsequently, after bids were received and evaluated, the City Manager awarded a $606,970 construction contract for the project to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, GradeTech, Inc.

The contract was substantially completed on October 6, 2025, and reached final completion on October 20, 2025. The contract can now be accepted for permanent maintenance. The process to release the contractor's bonds can begin.

DISCUSSION
The Stream Maintenance by Contractors Project SD202523 consisted of two parts: riprap placement and sediment and debris removal. Riprap placement involved excavation of native material and installation of ½ ton riprap with filter fabric at the north downstream bank of the Arroyo Mocho west of Holmes Street to provide embankment protection. Additionally, sediment and debris were removed from the Arroyo Mocho at Holmes Street and off hauled offsite to restore the stormwater channel capacity. Repairing the Holmes Street site restored creek flows and safety of the community before the next winter storms to reduce the 16 risk of flooding. Attachment 1 shows the site location.

The project was completed in accordance with the contract documents in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer.

At time of award, the contractor provided a faithful performance bond guaranteeing completion of the project, and that bond must now be released. Six months after the date of the resolution accepting the project, the labor and materials bond guaranteeing the improvements should be reduced to an amount equal to any claims filed and of which notice has been given. The balance of the bond will be released upon the settlement of all claims and obligations for which the security was given (there are no known claims at this time). The security for the guarantee and warranty of work shall remain in effect for one year from the date of the resolution.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The original construction contract was $606,970. The final contract amount including change orders was $490,671.

The total deduction of change orders was $116,299. This consisted of deducting approximately 841 tons of Riprap and 648 linear feet of fence. In addition, dewatering was not implemented and was deducted as well. The Stream Maintenance by Contractors Project SD202523 is funded with CIP Reserves - Storm in the 2025-30 Capital Improvement Plan. The budget covers the cost of this construction contract and all other project costs including design, change orders, permits, construction support services, and project management. No additional appropriations are required. This stream maintenance project will not increase operations and maintenance costs.

27 Dear Friends,
Do you remember the first time you set foot in the Bankhead? What was the show? For me it was to see Leo Kottke, one of my favorite guitarists of all time. I’ve probably seen about 300 shows at the Bankhead since that moment, but I still remember the first.

This last year at Livermore Valley Arts, we made a strong overture to focus on the experience for our first-time visitors. They received special communications before and after the event, and a coupon for a discount at concessions. Those efforts paid off with a 40% increase in first-time patrons returning to the Bankhead for another within 12 months compared to last year.

If only every time could feel like the first time. Fortunately for all of us, as an arts organization that values creativity, we continue to give experiences that feel new. Hopefully you came to see our first immersive exhibit,
Cosmic Odyssey, which we completely self-
produced. Or maybe you saw Dustbowl Revival on the Bankhead Plaza with the liquid light show. Or maybe you saw some of the big stars who came to Livermore for the first time like John Cleese, American Authors and Stewart Copeland. Perhaps you thought you were going to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the first time at the Bankhead only to find out it was the Red Hot Chili Pipers, a bagpipe rock n’ roll band, and you had a blast.

The great thing about art is that there is always something new, and at Livermore Valley Arts we will continue to do all we can to ensure that your experience will be as special as the first time. Thank you for supporting the Arts and allowing us to share it with our diverse community.

Financial Highlights
Rhythm India, April 2025
For the 2024-25 fiscal year at Livermore Valley Arts, we continued to see an increase in ticket sales over previous years, and earned revenue came in well ahead of budget. We were also able to keep expenses below budget for the year. Economic uncertainty and a shift in the nonprofit philanthropic landscape, however, led to contributions falling sharply in the fourth quarter, and the year ended in a loss as a result.

The operating reserve remains strong, and overall, Livermore Valley Arts continues to remain in good financial health.

ITEM NO. 6.5

DATE:

8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution adopting a pre-qualification process for contractors in substantial conformance with Public Contract Code § 20101 et. seq., authorizing the City Engineer to determine suitable projects for the Contractor Request for Qualifications process, and which contractors qualify based on the evaluation process, and authorizing the City Engineer to approve future revisions to the Contractor Request for Qualifications Questionnaire and related pre-qualification process documents.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution taking the following actions:
1 .

Adopt a pre-qualification process for contractors that is in substantial conformance with the Public Contract Code § 20101 et. seq.;
2 .

Authorize the City Engineer to determine which projects are suitable for the contractor Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process and which contractors qualify based on the evaluation process; and 3 .

Authorize the City Engineer to approve future revisions to the Contractor RFQ and related pre- qualification process documents in accordance with Public Contract Code § 20101, as necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of the pre-qualification process.

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore proposes to implement a contractor pre-qualification process for select City construction projects. This process will be applied primarily to projects that require specialized technical expertise, such as wastewater treatment facilities, municipal buildings, and to projects with the potential to significantly impact public access or daily activities, including those located in the downtown core.

In accordance with California Public Contract Code § 20101 et. seq., staff recommends adoption of a standardized, objective pre-qualification framework to evaluate contractor qualifications. Staff further recommends delegating authority to the City Engineer to determine appropriate projects for pre- 46 qualification, to evaluate contractor submissions using this framework and update the framework in the future as required.

DISCUSSION
The City’s authority to prequalify contractors for public works projects is established under California Public Contract Code (PCC) § 20101 et. seq. On September 23, 2024, the City implemented its first pre- qualification process for the Flagpole Plaza project (DR202225), during which City Council approved the pre-qualification of four contractors who were then invited to submit bids. This process resulted in the selection of a highly qualified contractor who successfully delivered the project on time and within budget in a high-visibility downtown location.

Building on the success of that pilot effort, the City now proposes to formally adopt a pre-qualification process that is in substantial conformance with PCC § 20101 et. seq. The framework includes a standardized questionnaire and financial statement verified under oath, a uniform and objective rating system to assess contractor qualifications, and an appeal mechanism that allows prospective bidders to dispute their rating prior to bid deadlines. This approach ensures that only contractors who submit acceptable responses to the City’s questions pursuant to a Request for Qualifications are invited to bid on City projects, thereby reducing risk, improving project outcomes, and promoting transparency and fairness in public contracting and ensuring that contractors are in compliance with Department of Industrial Relations requirements.

In addition, staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Engineer to determine which projects are suitable for the contractor pre-qualification process. This delegation allows the City Engineer to strategically apply the pre-qualification process to projects where it will provide the greatest benefit in terms of risk reduction, efficiency, and project delivery. Staff also recommends authorizing the City Engineer to evaluate contractor qualifications using an objective, standardized process, promoting efficiency by eliminating the need to return to City Council for approval on a project-by-project basis. The City Engineer will oversee the review and scoring of contractor submissions, applying an objective criteria and rating system established in the RFQ to ensure only qualified contractors are eligible to bid.

To ensure the process remains effective and responsive to the City’s needs and any future legislative updates, staff also recommends that the City Engineer be delegated authority to approve future revisions to the contractor RFQ documents in accordance with Public Contract Code § 20101 et. seq., as necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of the pre-qualification process.

By implementing these actions, the City will be able to identify contractors who meet minimum requirements for experience, financial stability, compliance history, and determine the type and size of contracts for which each contractor is qualified to bid. This statutory framework enables the City to proactively reduce risks and delays on construction projects, by ensuring that only qualified contractors are invited to participate in the bidding process. The prequalification process promotes transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public contracting, aligning not only with state law but also with best practices adopted by other municipalities.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The implementation of a contractor prequalification process is expected to result in the award of contracts to firms that meet defined qualifications through a standardized and objective evaluation framework. This approach is anticipated to improve efficiency by reducing the need for project-by-project 47 approvals from City Council. The prequalification process also has the potential to help keep projects on schedule and within budget by ensuring that only capable and experienced contractors are invited to bid, thereby potentially minimizing the need for extended oversight by City staff and consultants. No additional appropriations are necessary at this time.

The City Engineer is best positioned to determine which City projects are suitable for the contractor Request for Qualifications process, based on project scope, complexity, and potential benefits to the City.

The City Engineer sh ould also be authorized to determine contractor qualifications based on the evaluation process outlined in the RFQ, applying objective criteria and a uniform rating system to ensure only qualified contractors are eligible to bid on applicable City projects, and that qualified contractors are also in compliance with Department of Industrial Relations regulations.

ITEM NO. 6.6

DATE:

December
8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution amending Resolution No. 94-55 of the City of Livermore Personnel Rules and Regulations to modify conditions for reinstatement to City service under section 8.08.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
Section 8.08 of the City of Livermore Personnel Rules and Regulations allow a regular employee who has resigned in good standing
the ability to be considered for appointment to a vacant position of the same or comparable class as was vacated within one year of the effective date of resignation. These changes modify what such employees are entitled to upon reinstatement.

DISCUSSION
The revised language included in Attachment 1 - Redlined Section 8.08 of the Personnel Rules and Regulations, is intended to modify what an employee is eligible for upon reinstatement.

Currently, reinstated employees do not receive credit for their previous time worked when calculating their leave accrual rate. The new language will allow reinstated employees to receive credit for their prior service when determining their leave accrual rate.

Additionally, the previous use of the term "other benefits" included the retiree health benefit, which meant that a reinstated employee would lose eligibility for it upon reinstatement. Under the new language, employees who were previously eligible for the benefit, will remain eligible upon reinstatement. 51 These changes acknowledge the prior experience of qualified former employees who resigned in good standing, allowing them to return and support operational continuity.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

There are no fiscal or administrative impacts associated with the proposed revisions.

54 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.7

DATE:

December
8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the execution of a purchase order with Armature Systems for hardware, support, and licensing in the amount of $571,965 to upgrade and refresh the City of Livermore's (City) primary production network infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
The City's network infrastructure has reached the end of their useful lives and are no longer supported by the vendor. This project is to refresh the City's network systems in six locations: City Hall, Police Department, Water Plant, Maintenance Yard, Airport, and Emergency Operations Center. This project will replace old equipment with new, more reliable technology to improve City services. The goal is to upgrade the network at key City sites to ensure better service and reliability. The work will be done in phases to minimize disruption, including planning, setting up equipment, and switching over to the new system.

City staff selected Armature Systems to provide the network infrastructure hardware through the OMNIA Partners (OMNIA) statewide agreement. The OMNIA agreement is a competitively bid contract that meets the City’s purchasing guidelines. OMNIA agreement prices are pre-negotiated and require providers to match or beat the listed pricing for hardware or installation services.

DISCUSSION
The City's network infrastructure has reached the end of their useful lives and are no longer supported by 55 the vendor. The City's network modernization project offers several key benefits. By replacing old network equipment, the City will have a more reliable and high-performing network infrastructure that will provide a stronger security backbone, protecting the City's network from potential threats, and ensuring safer data transmission. Additionally, network management, will be simpler making it easier to maintain and troubleshoot. The new network architecture is designed to be scalable, allowing the City to easily expand and adapt to future needs without significant overhauls. The phased approach to implementation ensures that there will be minimal disruption to city operations during the transition, maintaining continuity of services.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT

All costs associated with the proposed purchase order are included in the current Information Technology Division’s budget. Armature Systems includes installation, and migration.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE

ORDER WITH ARMATURE SYSTEMS FOR HARDWARE, SUPPORT
AND LICENSING IN THE AMOUNT OF $571,965 TO UPGRADE AND
REFRESH THE CITY OF LIVERMORE’S PRIMARY PRODUCTION

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE

The City of Livermore's (City) network infrastructure has reached the end of their useful lives and are no longer supported by the vend or. This project is to refresh the City’s network systems in six important locations: City Hall, Police Department, Water Plant, Maintenance Yard, Airport, and Emergency Operations Center.

The City’s network modernization project offers several key benefits. By replacing old network equipment, the City will have a more reliable and high p erforming network infrastructure. This will provide a stronger security backbone, protecting the City's network from potential threats and ensuring safer data transmission. Additionally, this will simplify network management, making it easier to maintain a nd troubleshoot.

The new network architect ure is designed t o be scalable, allowing the City to easily expand and adapt to future needs without significant overhauls. The phased approach to implementation ensures that there will be minimal disruption to cit y operations during the transition, maintaining continuity of services.

OMNIA agreement prices are pre-negotiated and require providers to match or beat the listed pricing for hardware or installation services.

NOW, THEREFORE, B E IT RESOLVED by the City Council of th e Cit y of Livermore, that it:

1. Authorizes the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Armature Systems in an amount not-to-exceed $571,965.

2. Authorizes the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

65 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.8

DATE:

December
8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing the execution of a second amendment to the agreement with PlaceWorks Inc. for the General Plan Update to adjust the scope of work, increase the not-to-exceed amount from $3,026,000 to $3,272,000, and extend the term to March 31, 2027.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Adjusts the scope of work to integrate additional programs and technical analysis related to the General Plan;
2 .

Modifies the agreement not-to-exceed amount from $3,026,000 to $3,272,000; and 3 .

Extends the term of the agreement to March 31, 2027.

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
On June 28, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with PlaceWorks for the comprehensive General Plan and Housing Element Update and Programmatic General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). On October 23, 2023, Council authorized the first Amendment to the Agreement to account for additional analysis, new state legislation, and continued meetings of the General Plan Advisory Committee that progressively added to the scope of work.

To date, the work program is approximately 75% complete and the project team is currently engaged in technical writing and editing of the second round of the Administrative Draft General Plan and the Administrative Draft EIR. The scope of the work has gradually expanded due to the need for additional technical writing and editing to ensure policy alignment with City Council direction and community 66 priorities, as well as the integration of the Habitat Conservation Plan and adjustments to the Livermore Development Code. Therefore, staff recommends Council authorize the second amendment to the Agreement, which would provide additional time and resources to respond to changing conditions. Staff anticipates General Plan and Final EIR adoption would occur in the third quarter of 2026.

DISCUSSION
Since commencement of the General Plan Update, the project team has completed visioning, research and analysis and the development of existing conditions reports, a State certified Housing Element, evaluation of various future land use alternatives, a Draft General Plan Land Use Map, Draft Goals and Policies framework, and an Administrative Draft General Plan. Currently, the project team is completing second-round review of the Administrative Draft General Plan in anticipation of publishing a Public Draft General Plan and conducting community engagement in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, the project team is preparing and reviewing the Administrative Draft EIR with the anticipation of publishing the document for public review and comment in the second quarter of 2026. Staff anticipates General Plan and Final EIR adoption hearings in the second and third quarters of 2026.

Over the course of the work program, additional items and adjustments were made to respond to changing circumstances. At this point in the process, the project team is requesting additional resources and time to complete the project. A second amendment to the Agreement includes a revised scope of work, additional funds, and extended project duration. Modifications to the scope of work and budget include:

Project Schedule Extension.

The General Plan project timeline in the agreement is proposed to be extended by 18 months to March 2027 (or when all tasks are completed, whichever occurs first). The anticipated adoption date shifted from end of 2025 (under the First Amendment) to mid-2026. The proposed time extension is necessary to accommodate policy refinement, technical analysis and environmental review, and to ensure adequate time for public engagement and review of the Public Draft General Plan and Draft EIR. The agreement extension past the anticipated adoption date allows for close out tasks associated with creating an accessible and interactive online version of the General Plan.

Integration of Additional Programs.

The General Plan would incorporate the Draft Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP), which requires updates to the project description, including its objectives, purpose, and planning area maps. The HCP is a regional planning tool that outlines strategies to protect sensitive biological resources while allowing for compatible development and critical infrastructure projects. Its integration into the General Plan ensures that Capital Improvement Projects align with long- term conservation goals and would enable streamlined regulatory permitting to reduce uncertainty and cost. The Draft EIR will evaluate the HCP’s potential impact, particularly on biological resources, and address anticipated comments from regulatory agencies. Coordination will also include additional meetings with City staff, General Plan Consultants, and HCP consultants.

Technical Writing and Document Review.

Preparation of a second Administrative Draft General Plan was necessary to incorporate substantial land use refinements, integrate updated technical input from economic and traffic subconsultants, and ensure consistency with the ongoing environmental review process. The additional draft allowed for a more thorough internal review, improving the clarity, organization, and usability of the document for decision-makers and the public. However, the additional draft required extended project management services and continued coordination with the EIR team, reflecting the expanded scope of work required to align the policy framework with City priorities, 67 infrastructure capacity, and regulatory requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

Authorization to execute an amendment to a professional services agreement is an administrative action, which does not qualify as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Therefore, no environmental review is required.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

Allocation of City staff time would be necessary to administer the updated consultant agreement, participate in the document review, research and analysis, and community outreach. The second amendment to the Agreement would increase the not-to-exceed amount by $246,000 from $3,026,000 to $3,272,000. The HCP is funded through a US Fish and Wildlife Grant awarded in 2022; staff anticipates that a portion of that grant funding will be used for costs associated with integration into the General Plan and General Plan EIR, which will partially offset the additional $246,000. Staff expects to increase the FY 2026-27 budget as part of the FY 2026-27 budget update to accommodate the proposed contract amendment.

On March 1, 2021, the City Council identified the Livermore General Plan and Housing Element Update as a goal and priority. The current General Plan was adopted in 2004 and needs a compr ehensive update to reflect current data, comply with legislative changes, and address changes in community preferences and market conditions. On March 29, 2021, the City Council selected PlaceWorks, Inc. as the consultant team to support staff to update t he Livermore General Plan and Housing Element.

On June 28, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021 -115, authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. for assistance with the General Plan Upda te, including the Housing Element Update. The term of the agreement was for approximately three years, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,800,000. On June 29, 2021, the City Manager executed the agreement.

On October 23, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023 -182, authorizing the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the professional services agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $3,026,000 and extend the term t hrough December 31, 2025 . On October 2 4, 202 3, the City Manager executed the first amendment.

The project team has completed approximately 75% of the General Plan Update work program, including visioning, research and analysis , and the development of existing conditions reports, a State ce rtified Housing Element, the preparation and evaluation of various future land use alternatives, a Draft Land Use Map, and Draft Goals and Policies.

Due to the complexity and duration of the project, as well as changing circumstances, the City desires to enter into a second amendment to the agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. to: (1) modify the scope of work ; (2) increase the total compensation by $246, 000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,272,000; and (3) extend the term of the agreement through March 31, 2027.

NOW, THEREFORE, B E IT RESOLVED by the City Council of th e City of Livermore that it authorizes the City Manager , or her designee, to execute a second amendment to the professional services agreement with Pla ceWorks, Inc., attached hereto as Exhibit A, for the General Plan Update to: (1) update the scope of work ; (2) 69 2 RESOLUTION NO. ________

75  City objectives in engaging the community and key messages the General Plan team expect to share with the community
 Goals of major tasks or milestones: T o inform, consult, involve, collaborate, or empower, based on the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) “Spectrum of Public Participation”  Constraints on public influence, such as legal or fiscal parameters that preclude the Council from taking actions that are illegal or exceed the City’s resources
 Identification of under -represented communities , both in Livermore and community members who have not been heard from in past engagement and outreach efforts ; PlaceWorks will utilize work from the Equity and Inclusion Subcommittee (and Housing subgroup) to inform this research; communities will be identified by demographics and geography
 Identification of barriers to participation, including language, location accessibility, digital accessibility, time of day, childcare, transportation, and historic mistrust, (income level and or employment status)and strategies to remove these barriers
 Multiple specific methods for engagement, both in person and virtual  List of and contact information for a diverse range of community- based organization (CBO) partners with established relationships in under-represented communities
 Consultant, City staff, and CBO roles in engagement and communication, including communication and relationship- building as part of other City events and activities
 Methods for collecting and tracking demographic data about participants in the General Plan Update process  Methods for reporting back to participants how their input is being used  Ideas for capacity-building of individuals and CBOs to foster ongoing engagement in General Plan implementation and City decision-making after the General Plan is adopted
The equity and inclusion plan will be a living document that is refined and improved as we consult with community members and CBOs and learn what methods are and are not effective. We anticipate reviewing and refining the initial iteration of the equity and inclusion plan with community members, the City Council Equity and Inclusion Subcommittee (if still a convened Subcommittee), the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), and the City Council near the outset of the process. Prior to public review of the plan, PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative draft for City review and will incorporate comments into the public review draft plan.

1.2 Branding
PlaceWorks will develop a General Plan Update branding package, to include a project name, color palette, typography, and graphics that are appealing and accessible to the Livermore community . The branding will reflect values of diversity and inclusivity. This branding will then be used on the General Plan Update website, outreach materials, meeting materials, and ultimately the Plan itself, including text, tables, and figures. The branding package will be submitted to City staff for one round of review and comment before being finalized and deployed.

1.3 Documentary Art Project
PlaceWorks will coordinate closely with City staff to incorporate the work of one or more local artists and/or documentarians throughout the General Plan Update and in the final Plan (document) itself. The media and outcomes of the documentary art project will be determined in concert with the selected artist(s) and could include photographs, videos, and/or audio to be presented online only and/or exhibited in local museums, Downtown storefronts, or other physical venues. The goal of Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
76 the art project will be to highlight the rich diversity and shared humanity of Livermore’s residents and how General Plan topics like housing, health, mobility, and equity affect their lives. Work generated through this effort will be subject to adopted City public art policies regarding editorial control, ownership, and other issues.

1.4 Citizens Advisory Committee Facilitation
Work on the General Plan Update will be informed by the CAC. The CAC will be a group of approximately 15 community members who represent the diversity of the Livermore community, including ranges in age, race, ethnicity, neighborhood, ability, living situation, employment, and advocacy. The PlaceWorks team and City staff will work together to educate and provide information to the CAC regarding the technical issues influencing the General Plan Update. The CAC will review and provide feedback on work produc ts, serve as liaisons between the team and the community, and advise the team on effective outreach and engagement. The CAC is not a decision -making body; the City Council will be responsible for final direction regarding General Plan content and adoption of the General Plan.

PlaceWorks will draft a purpose statement, the document that identifies the CAC’s role and purpose, for the CAC for City staff to review and finalize. This scope assumes that City staff and City Council will be responsible for forming the CAC.

PlaceWorks will prepare for and facilitate up to 30 meetings of the CAC over the course of the General Plan Update, approximately monthly, with some months off during intensive consultant and staff work periods. PlaceWorks will work with City staff at the initiation of each major task to develop an outreach strategy, including the number and topic of each CAC meeting within that phase, allowing for flexibility to adapt to requests from the CAC and to respond as issues arise, as appropriate. In consultation with City staff, PlaceWorks will complete the following prior to each meeting:
 Conduct a pre-meeting conference call with City staff to prepare for the meeting  Prepare a meeting agenda, presentation, and other documents pertinent to agenda items (technical memos, reports etc) subject to review and approval by city staff
 Advertise the meeting through the General Plan website and email list City staff will be responsible for the CAC public noticing requirements if required by the Brown Act.

PlaceWorks Principal in Charge and Project Manager will attend all meetings of the CAC that require PlaceWorks support .

City staff may choose to hold informational or educational CAC meetings without PlaceWorks in attendance. PlaceWorks staff will support the CAC chair or co -chairs in facilitating CAC discussion and consensus -building. PlaceWorks will also provide technical support to the CAC as needed.

Following each meeting, PlaceWorks will prepare action minutes for review by City staff, post these to the website, and distribute them to the CAC at the following meeting.

1.5 Community Events
Newcomers to the planning process, non -English speakers, and others may be intimidated by large workshops and formal public hearings , while participants who are comfortable in these spaces and familiar with planning jargon continue to participate. Therefore, to encourage participation from the broadest possible spectrum of Livermore residents, General Plan Update input events will be held, where possible, as part of existing events, activities, and meetings that residents are already likely to attend. They will also be well -coordinated with other City engagement activities to reduce conflict and duplication. This scope includes PlaceWorks preparation of materials for and attendance at up to 12 community events to raise awareness about the General Plan Update and gather input. The timing of these events and the goals of engagement at each event will be determined in collaboration with City staff.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
77 These events can take one of several formats. Any events targeting the Spanish-speaking community will be conducted with one Spanish-speaking PlaceWorks staff and Spanish language materials. PlaceWorks will also provide written materials in additional languages as directed by City staff.
 Pop-up events are smaller, often outdoor events designed for a two-way flow of information between a facilitator and the public. These events occur in familiar, comfortable settings, and participants can choose how much time to spend engaging. Pop-up events might take place before or after worship services, social service locations, at culturally specific markets, or at larger community celebrations like the Livermore Rodeo, Hispanic Heritage Day, and the Farmers’ Market. Pop-up events are typically designed to happen at or around a single table, with visuals, maps, and/or handheld surveys that simply and quickly convey concepts and allow easy and fun but still useful community input. Like workshops, pop-ups are face-to-face events that may be restricted due to public health concerns.  At neighborhood or community organization meetings, the General Plan team would coordinate with the organizations to attend a regular meeting. Team members would offer a presentation and facilitated discussion, as well as additional information on opportunities for involvement.
 Self-guided open houses could be installed at the Library, City Hall, or other venues and could feature posters or other graphics to explain the project. These events can be up for days or weeks and allow people to explore the information at their own pace and without face- to-face contact. They are best for informing rather than gathering feedback or making decisions.
 Youth outreach could include art projects, youth -only, or youth- led workshops and small group discussions. These events are usually most effectively coordinated through local schools and/or recreation service providers. Teachers may make participation a requirement (e.g., for a high school social science class) or offer extra credit for students who participate.

1.6 Citywide Workshops
Although it is important to recognize that community workshops may not be a comfortable form of engagement for all residents, they remain a well -established tool for extended conversations and consensus building, and workshops have served past Livermore planning efforts well. Over the course of the project, we anticipate up to 6 in person community workshops. Workshops are opportunities to engage the public on different topics and in different neighborhoods, using a variety of interactive strategies. In order to provide maximum flexibility and convenience for community members, and to anticipate potential public health concerns, this task also includes up to 6 virtual workshops. Virtual workshops will likely be conducted using common tools such as Zoom and can also be broadcast over accessible platforms such as Facebook Live.

Preliminarily, we expect to hold workshops at four key points in the process: (1) to create the Vision; (2) to obtain input about the land use alternatives; (3) to present the preferred scenario; and (4) to present and receive comments on the Draft General Plan. The format of each workshop will be tailored to the relevant milestone. Workshops most often include a presentation of material, a question -and-answer period, and a small group breakout time for facilitated discussion and exercises. The PlaceWorks Principal-in-Charge will be the lead facilitator for all workshops. PlaceWorks will also provide up to three small group facilitators for each workshop, one of whom will be a Spanish speaker. Prior to the event, PlaceWorks will provide a facilitator training for City staff to support respectful and productive discussions.

To support equitable participation, PlaceWorks recommends that the City provide on -site childcare, water, and a healthy snack at each workshop, and that these be advertised prior to the event. PlaceWorks staff can bring food and supplies and can provide materials for the children’s activity in addition to workshop materials.

PlaceWorks will also coordinate simultaneous interpretation and provide translation of all workshop materials into Spanish, as appropriate.

EXHIBIT A
78 1.7 Stakeholder Interviews
EPS will coordinate with the City to select a diverse roster of stakeholders representing various perspectives on economic development in Livermore and demographics. This group likely will include local employers, business leaders, real estate experts, community group representatives, Planning Commission, and City Council, as appropriate. The stakeholders will provide insight on opportunities and constraints and exploring potential economic development strategies. EPS will conduct up to 12 one-hour interviews, one-on-one or in groups, in person, during a two -day visit to Livermore, as well as by phone if needed.

1.8 Planning Commission and City Council Meetings
PlaceWorks will attend up to 12 meetings or study sessions of the City Council and/or Planning Commission, separate from the adoption hearings. We will also support City staff in preparing for interim status updates to the Council and Planning Commission that PlaceWorks does not attend. This task does not include research to respond to requests for information or memoranda addressing topics or tasks that are not part of the General Plan scope of work.

1.9 Community-Based Organization Coordination
PlaceWorks recommends that the City identify up to three local CBOs to partner with throughout the General Plan Update.

The CBO will be compensated and could be part of the PlaceWorks contract or directly under contract to the City.

Preliminarily, we anticipate that the role of the CBO would include supporting culturally targeted and/or multilingual outreach efforts; serving as “ambassadors” between the General Plan team and community members ; vetting background data and technical analyses to ensure they reflect and are understandable by community members; and providing input on goals, policies, and actions. Ideally, the CBO should be experienced in outreach and program implementation in Livermore and should be based on or connected to specific under-represented neighborhoods or populations.

As part of identifying and selecting the CBO, City staff and PlaceWorks will work with the CBO to clearly define roles and responsibilities, commitments, capacity, timelines, and deliverables.

1.10 Support City Staff Outreach Efforts
City staff may conduct outreach without PlaceWorks’ in -person participation. For example, staff may conduct additional CAC meetings, neighborhood meetings, or pop -up events; give interviews to local media outlets; create social media postings; and operate the Plan Van at various events and locations. This task will cover incidental support from PlaceWorks in preparing or updating materials and coordinating logistics. This task does not include attendance at these events.

PlaceWorks staff will not operate the Plan Van.

1.11 Tribal Consultation
Archeo-Tec will assist City staff with tribal consultation consistent with Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill ( SB) 18 by obtaining a list of current contact information for Native American groups and individuals with an interest in the c ity from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). Archeo -Tec will assist in submitting draft SB 18 notification letters to identified groups and individuals, document any responses, and identify any critical path items that emerge during consultation. Archeo- Tec wi ll track which tribes were notified and their responses to ensure compliance with AB 52 timelines. PlaceWorks and Archeo -Tec will also be available to provide support to the City in conducting any needed government-to-government consultation and responding to tribal requests.

EXHIBIT A
79 1.12 Website
PlaceWorks will create and maintain a website for the General Plan Update. The website will include basic information about the project, including an explanation of what a General Plan is, a description of the update process, project updates as major milestones are achieved, and links to other relevant City efforts and departments. PlaceWorks will prepare a mock-up of the website for City review and approval prior to building the website. PlaceWorks will share the draft website with the City and incorporate staff comments prior to making the website live.

The website will include information about community events, CAC meetings, and Planning Commission and City Council meetings on the General Plan Update. It will provide access to online surveys and interactive exercises. Public review draft documents will be posted in PDF format on the website and/or linked to as interactive Esri-based websites. PlaceWorks staff will be responsible for creating, managing, and updating the website, including PDF files made available for downloading while under contract with the City. This scope assumes approximately two hours per month for ongoing updates and website posts; it does not include significant redesign or restructuring of the website after it is launched. Upon completion of the project, PlaceWorks will transfer management of the website to the City.

1.13 Online Engagement
As a complement to physical materials and face- to-face outreach, PlaceWorks will use a range of proprietary and off -the- shelf tools to engage community members using digital technology to enable people to participate in the General Plan Update process whenever it is convenient for them. The digital engagement strategy will include a range of tools, including online surveys, prioritization exercises, map -based tools, and other approaches, at up to five key points in the process.

Online engagement campaigns will most likely be timed prior to, during, and following community workshops. These tools will provide transparency and connect the Livermore community to the update process without constraints on the time, place, or method of public input. PlaceWorks will develop up to four individual online engagement tools. Online engagement tools will be accessible by mobile phone and address digital barriers identified in the Equity and Inclusion Plan.

1.14 Translation
PlaceWorks will prepare meeting notices, meeting materials, the project website, and other written materials as appropriate, in both English and Spanish, as well as additional languages including Simplified Chinese and Farsi, if needed .

Community workshops facilitated in English will offer translation services and some workshops, meetings, and events, will be conducted exclusively in Spanish, with English translation available . PlaceWorks and City staff who are fluent in Spanish will work with professional interpreters to provide translation during meetings and workshops. This task does not anticipate the full translation of major work products such as the General Plan itself. This scope of work includes $9,000 for the translation of written materials.

Task 2. Visioning
One of the first tasks for the General Plan Update will be to articulate a new vision for inclusion in the General Plan Update.

This vision should be no more than two pages long, and it should capture all of the key issues already identified through the visioning community engagement process with equity and justice at the core.

EXHIBIT A
80 2.1 Visioning Outreach Strategy
At the outset of the visioning task, PlaceWorks will work closely with City staff to draft and refine an outreach strategy to ensure that the vision is based on broad and robust community engagement. The outreach strategy will specify which of the CAC meetings, Community Events, Citywide Workshops, and Planning Commission and City Council meetings described in Task 1 will occur during this task. The goals of the visioning outreach strategy will be to:
 Identify key issues the community would like the General Plan Update to address.  Understand the community’s goals and aspirations for Livermore and how they envision Livermore in 2045.  Build interest and support for the General Plan Update during these initial outreach meetings of the project.

PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative and final draft of the visioning outreach strategy.

2.2 Communitywide Visioning Survey
FM3 Research will develop and implement a communitywide, statistically valid survey to get feedback on the key issues the General Plan should address and ask the community about the qualities and characteristics Livermore should embody in 2045. FM3 will review the National Community Survey ( NCS™) and other recent and ongoing City surveys to avoid redundancy in questions. The PlaceWorks team will submit a draft and screencheck version of the survey for City review and comment prior to the release of the surv ey. The survey will be conducted via telephone and through an online survey form in English and Spanish. The survey sample size will include 400 respondents (margin of error +/ - 4.9 percent) , representative of the City’s four Council districts OR the same five subareas used in the NCS™: central, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. In addition, FM3 will establish demographic quotas that match the adult population of Livermore based on the most recent Census or American Community Survey ( ACS) data. The City will provide FM3 with the list of residential addresses, which will include the unit numbers for multi -unit buildings. FM3 will provide the following upon completion of the survey:
 A questionnaire with the topline results of the survey for easy reference.  A complete set of crosstabs in an easy-to-read, comprehensive format.  Verbatim responses to any open-ended questions.
 A complete analysis of survey results in PowerPoint.
 A presentation of the survey results.

2.3 Draft General Plan Vision Statement
PlaceWorks will draft a Vision Statement for inclusion in the General Plan Update, which will be based on the ideas articulated through the communitywide visioning survey and public engagement process . PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and final Draft Vision Statement.

2.4 Final General Plan Vision Statement
PlaceWorks will incorporate the feedback from the CAC and Planning Commission and City Council direction into the Final General Plan Vision Statement.

81 Task 3. Research and Analysis
In this task, the PlaceWorks team will conduct research and analysis that will inform the community discussion of key issues and the environmental analysis of the General Plan Update.

3.1 Existing Conditions Reports
The PlaceWorks team will use recent environmental documents prepared by the City, as well as limited new reconnaissance, to provide a key understanding of the existing conditions in Livermore. PlaceWorks will prepare administrative, screencheck and public review drafts of these reports including technical appendices. Topics to be addressed include:
 Aesthetics. PlaceWorks will describe the physical form of development in Livermore and the unique design characteristics of development in different areas of the community.  Agriculture and Forestry Resources . PlaceWorks will document existing agricultural and forestry resources including potential agricultural pests and diseases that could become more prevalent because of climate change.  Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions .. PlaceWorks will describe the existing air quality setting , including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory in Livermore. The GHG emissions setting will include a summary of the City’s baseline and current year inventories and a summary of the City’s climate action effort, as presented in the updated Climate Action Plan. PlaceWorks will update past inventories as needed to include new data prepared for this General Plan Update, including updated vehicle -miles of travel ( VMT), emissions factors, land use changes, and sequestration benefits.
 Climate Change and Resilience. PlaceWorks will describe the regulatory framework aimed at reducing the impacts of climate change and discuss the potential effects climate change could have on the General Plan. PlaceWorks will also review the Vulnerability Assessment from the Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Tri -Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan and update the analysis as needed.
 Biological Resources . WRA, Inc. will describe biological and wetland resources in the planning area. The report will provide information on vegetation types, wildlife habitat, potential for special -status species and jurisdictional wetlands, and any other important biotic features.
 Circulation. Kittelson will describe the existing circulation system in Livermore, including existing (2021) traffic volumes and intersection level of service (LOS), transit systems, and existing and planned bicycle and pedestrian systems. As part of this report, Kittelson will compile available intersection turn -movement and street segment counts, freeway and ramp traffic counts from the California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans), and planned and proposed transportation improvements. Kittelson will collect up to 45 intersection traffic counts (AM and PM two -hour peak periods) and 4 0 automatic street segment counts (48 -hour) during fall of 2021 (or when it is determined that traffic levels return to pre -COVID levels). Approximately half of the intersection counts will also include directional bicycle and pedestrian counts. Kittelson will summarize the count data and compare to prior traffic counts, and coordinate with City staff to determine if adjustment factors need to be applied to the 2021 counts to represent more “typical” traffic conditions. Kittelson will also compile crash data to identify priority locations for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian safety issues. As part of this task, Kittelson will update or develop a citywide intersection analysis tool (Synchro or Vistro software) to evaluate AM and PM peak-hour traffic operations at up to 45 study intersections. Signal timing information will be obtained from the City or Caltrans, as appropriate. Kittelson will conduct field review of peak-hour intersection operations to identify queuing or other issues that may require adjustments to the standard Highway Capacity Manual analysis methods. The existing intersection operations results will be reported and verified with City staff to ensure that they are representative of observed conditions.

82  Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources . GPA Consulting and Archeo -Tec will describe existing known archaeological and historic built resources and will describe these resources using the categories established in the Historic Context Statement, tribal cultural resources, and other cultural resources.  Geology and Soils. PlaceWorks will describe potential geological hazards, including earthquake faults, groundshaking, liquefaction, landslides, and erosion.
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials. PlaceWorks will describe hazardous materials sites listed on federal, state, and local regulatory agency databases in the city and describe hazards associated with these sites. This section will also address safety hazards related to aviation activities associated with the city’s airport, and emergency preparedness.  Hydrology and Water Quality . PlaceWorks will describe existing hydrology and water quality conditions, including the hydrologic setting, stormwater drainage characteristics, water quality data (both surface and groundwater), local receiving water bodies, pollutants of concern based on changes in land use, and flooding hazards.  Land Use and Planning and Environmental Justice. PlaceWorks will document existing land uses and describe plans and regulations that govern land use decisions. This chapter will also explain the new requirements for General Plans to address environmental justice under SB 1000 and introduce topics such as pollution exposure, air quality, public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, physical activity, civil engagement, and infrastructure investments. It will also show preliminary maps of disadvantaged communities relative to the Livermore context and discuss exposure levels to pollution sources. The boundaries of these communities are likely to be revised over the course of the project based on ongoing research and public input.
 Noise and Vibration. PlaceWorks will describe the existing noise setting and sources in Livermore.  Equity and Community Health. PlaceWorks will describe the vulnerable populations in Livermore including children, seniors, seniors living alone, cost -burdened households, overcrowded households, homeless people, low -income households, households in poverty, disabled people, non-English speakers, people without a car, and outdoor workers.

In addition, PlaceWorks will describe the current community health statistics, discuss active transportation options, and address the age-friendliness of the city, including factors that influence the health and quality of life of older adults.  Public Services and Recreation. PlaceWorks will describe public services, including fire and emergency medical services, police services, schools , libraries, the airport, as well existing park and recreation facilities like the Las Positas Golf Course.
 Utilities and Service Systems . BKF will assess the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution, wastewater conveyance and treatment, and storm drainage systems based on the latest available information. Existing conditions information will include narrative descriptions of capacity and potential deficiencies, as well as tabular summaries of infrastructure capacity and needs. BKF will contact any outside agencies and school districts to document their assessment of infrastructure related to the City’s General Plan Update effort.  Wildfire. PlaceWorks will describe wildfire risk to Livermore, identifying exacerbated risks from changes to the natural landscape and infrastructure. This section will summarize the recommendations from the Tri Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan as it relates to wildfire and identify conflicts with existing California and local emergency response plans and emergency evacuation plans and assess vulnerable populations at higher wildfire risk as a result of runoff, poor air quality, post-fire slope instability, or drainage issues.

3.2 Baseline Economic and Market Trends
EPS will assess the underlying economic and market context for the Livermore General Plan Update. The technical analysis will cover key demographic, economic, and real estate factors affecting Livermore and its role in the Tri -Valley and the broader region. The goal will be to identify the strengths of the local economy, key competitive attributes and positioning, and challenges and opportunities influencing sustainable long -term growth that might be addressed by the General Plan Update. As part of this analysis, EPS will evaluate:

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
83  Socioeconomic trends
 Major economic drivers and business trends
 Real estate market trends
EPS will synthesize the City’s primary economic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (i.e., SWOT assessment).

This effort will organize the City’s economic context and local stakeholder input to identify relevant economic development considerations. The SWOT review will offer a digestible overview of economic development potential and will guide both the creation of the land use alternatives and the development of goals, policies, and actions.

EPS will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and public review draft of the Baseline and Economic Market Trends report.

3.3 Real Estate Development Feasibility Assessment
EPS will test the financial feasibility of up to five distinct real estate development prototypes in Livermore to identify uses that are likely to be developed during the life of the General Plan, as well as uses that may represent more aspirational or longer-term opportunities. Feasibility testing will rely on a static (i.e., stabilized year) financial pro forma financial model that considers the potential value of the prototype relative to its development cost. The analysis will provide a high- level screening of land use types to focus the alternatives creation in Task 4 on those land uses that are most likely to be realistic.

EPS will rely on the City to provide key data concerning development permitting costs, applicable fees, and connection charges.

If the analysis finds that particular development protypes sought by the community are found to be marginally infeasible, EPS will identify potential strategies for addressing the value shortfall as part of the fiscal evaluation of the preferred scenario.

EPS will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and public review draft of the Real Estate Development Feasibility Assessment report.

3.4 Existing Conditions Executive Summary and Online Story Map PlaceWorks will create an Executive S ummary of the existing conditions information that will have land use and policy implications for the General Plan Update. PlaceWorks will create a graphic-rich document that distills the information in an easy-to-understand format, such as a poster or booklet. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and final draft Executive Summary.

PlaceWorks will also prepare an online version of the Executive Summary. This web -based application will present the content of the Executive Summary through interactive text, maps, and graphics.

3.5 General Plan Legislative Audit
The City of Livermore’s General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 2004 . Since that time, California has adopted several laws that affect content and process for general plans. The City has adopted some targeted updates to some of the General Plan elements since they were originally adopted, so some State mandates have been fulfilled.

PlaceWorks will review the City’s current General Plan in light of applicable State legislation and prepare a memorandum identifying updates needed to bring the General Plan into conformance with current law. PlaceWorks will also prepare a summary matrix of this analysis that identifies the legislative requirement and what update will be required to the General Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
84 Plan. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and final draft of the General Plan Legislative Audit memorandum.

Task 4. Land Use Alternatives
In this task, the team will develop land use alternatives for specific focus areas within Livermore to explore potential changes to the General Plan land use map. We understand that, for many parts of Livermore, the General Plan land use designations remain valid and appropriate and are not expected to change substantially. This task will focus on targeted areas where transformation is expected or desired.

4.1 Alternatives Outreach Strategy
At the outset of the alternatives task, PlaceWorks will work closely with City staff and the CAC to draft and refine an outreach strategy covering community engagement throughout the land use alternatives creation and evaluation process , including supporting materials. The two major community decision points during this task will be:
 Reviewing the draft land use alternatives
 Reviewing the alternatives evaluation findings and crafting the preferred scenario PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative and final draft of the land use alternatives outreach strategy.

4.2 Confirm Focus Areas
The PlaceWorks team will work with City staff to identify targeted areas of Livermore that are most likely to change over the life of the General P lan, where there are a range of possible desired futures and where current General P lan designations do not accurately reflect desired future uses.

Preliminarily, City staff has identified the following potential focus areas for the land use alternatives:
 East of Greenville Road
 South Front Valley Link Station Area
 BART-owned properties north of Interstate 580 near Greenville Road It is possible that these areas will be modified or additional focus areas will be identified over the course of the project. This scope and cost can accommodate up to six clearly defined focus areas. Based on discussions with City staff, PlaceWorks will prepare a map of the focus areas for staff review and approval.

4.3 Property Owner Meetings
PlaceWorks will prepare for and facilitate up to three meetings of property owners and other interested parties within the focus areas to discuss their visions for their property to inform our development of land use alternatives. This task assumes that City staff will coordinate direct outreach to stakeholders and meeting logistics.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
85 4.4 Draft Land Use Alternatives
The PlaceWorks team will create three parcel -based land use alternatives for each delineated focus area that explore different possible types, locations, and intensities of development. Each alternative will include a land use map and a table with estimate d population, housing units (single- family and multifamily), and square footage of non -residential development. These alternatives may use the current General Plan land use designations or a simplified set of categories.

All alternatives will be consistent with the Vision developed in Task 2 and will reflect community ideas generated from the survey in Task 1. Alternatives will also be consistent with adopted or ongoing City efforts, such as the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and the Climate Action Plan (CAP) and with external parameters, such as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

Placeworks will complete one round of review based on City staff comments to prepare screencheck alternatives. City staff will review and provide a single set of consolidated comments on the screencheck alternatives. We will then share the draft land use alternatives with the community, the CAC, Planning Commission, City Council, and on the website and at a series of public events to refine and confirm the alternatives before proceeding with the analysis.

4.5 Alternatives Evaluation
PlaceWorks will prepare an evaluation of the relative performance, strengths, and weaknesses of the land use alternatives.

The alternatives evaluation will be presented in a highly graphic format so that the reader can easily interpret the tradeoffs between the alternatives. This analysis will qualitatively address the potential effects each alternative could have regarding:
 Climate change and resilience
 Public safety from flooding and fires
 Equity
 Parks and other City assets
 Housing supply
 Student generation and school capacity
 Open space preservation and biological resources
 Historic resources
 Scenic corridor analysis
 Aesthetics and urban design: This evaluation will include preparation of up to two birds-eye view visual simulations to illustrate potential development for each of the focus areas under each of the three alternatives. The visual simulations will be drawn from an elevation of 1,200 feet unless the focus area is within a drone restricted area in which case the elevation will be from 400 feet. The visual simulation can capture a small group of buildings with landscaping and architectural details, or a larger area with less detail.

PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck and public review draft of the alternatives evaluation report, as well as an online Executive Summary using the Esri StoryMaps tool . The results of the alternatives evaluation will be shared on the website and with the community, the CAC, Planning Commission, and City Council , and at a series of public events to inform deliberation on a preferred scenario for each focus area. This preferred scenario may be one of the three alternatives, a combination of components of the alternatives, or a new alternative created through the public process.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
86 EPS will provide a quantitative comparison of net annual impacts of the three land use alternatives on the Livermore General Fund, considering General Fund revenues and costs. EPS will rely on City budget documents, interviews with major City departments (e.g., Police, Public Works), and well -accepted budget estimating techniques. EPS will develop a static fiscal impact model to compare horizon year General Fund revenues and public service costs for the three land use alternatives.

This analysis will be presented for overall Citywide development, not for each Focus Area. BKF will provide p lanning-level estimates of the cost differentials among the alternatives for backbone infrastructure.

Kittelson will prepare transportation forecasts and assessments for the three alternatives. Regional -level transportation forecasts will use the updated Livermore travel model and will consider land use changes as well as potential changes in streets, transit service, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and Valley Link Rail. The outputs will be evaluated in terms of total system person-hours and delay, segment- level volume-to-capacity, mode shares by city subareas, and VMT. Kittelson will use regional and local segment forecasts to evaluate the three alternatives to assist the team with identification of a preferred alternative.

BKF will analyze water supply and distribution, wastewater treatment and conveyance, or storm runoff system capacity issues or system deficiencies.

4.6 Preferred Scenario Creation
Based on the outcomes of the community engagement process and Council direction, PlaceWorks will create a draft of the preferred scenario that reflects input from the public, CAC, Planning Commission, City Council, and City staff. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative draft preferred scenario and incorporate City comments into the final preferred scenario. The preferred scenario will include a land use map for each of the focus areas, as well as tables showing projected development through the General Plan horizon of 2045. The preferred scenario will become the basis for the updated General Plan land use map and the quantitative analyses in the General Plan EIR.

4.7 Preferred Scenario Implementation
This task includes important analyses to understand infrastructure improvements needed to implement the preferred scenario. EPS will provide a fiscal impact analysis of the preferred scenario and Kittelson will analyze intersection impacts of the preferred scenario. The results of these analyses will be summarized in two separate memoranda. The PlaceWorks team will prepare an administrative, screencheck, and final draft of each memorandum. a. Intersection Analysis
Kittelson will apply the intersection analysis tool to the preferred alternative for the future horizon year scenario and wil l identify specific issues at study intersections. Kittelson will also assess the future year circulation network for deficienc ies relative to both current standards and new standards considered during the General Plan Update process. b. Fiscal Analysis
EPS will provide a quantitative comparison of net annual impacts of the preferred scenario on the Livermore General Fund, considering General Fund revenues and costs, using the same approach as the comparison in the land use alternatives evaluation.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
87 c. Financing for Infrastructure, Facilities, and Programs EPS will provide an assessment of the financing tools and policies available to the City to finance the public costs articulated in the preferred scenario. EPS will consider expected infrastructure costs with potential revenue sources, appropriate for the type of infrastructure investment sought. EPS will explore funding sources, including:
 Public-private joint development opportunities for shared infrastructure;  Funding pathways, as identified by HIPinvestors, to implement the CAP measures;  Funding recommendations from the Asset Management Program;  Development impact fees;
 Value-capture techniques to convert fiscal benefits into financing tools;  Districts (such as CFDs, EIFDs, or CRIA) for financing public improvements or facilities;  Cost allocation strategies for required off-site improvements or facilities; and  Other financial and fiscal measures or mitigation strategies to cover any fiscal deficits.

This a
nalysis will present the key considerations for funding sources and financing mechanisms that fall under these four categories:

1. Development- Based Funding

2. Land-Secured Funding and Financing

3. City Funding and Financing

4. State and Federal Programs
While EPS will make recommendations concerning sources and uses alignment, this scope does not include quantifying revenue that may be generated by each funding and financing source.

4.8 Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines
This optional task will assist the City of Livermore with the establishment of transportation impact analysis (TIA) guidelines including methodologies and thresholds for evaluation of vehicle miles of travel (VMT) in accordance with SB 743.

Scoping. As a first step, Kittelson would meet with City staff and other stakeholders to determine the priorities for the consultant assistance. Issues to be discussed include:
 Roles for consultant assistance versus City staff, including levels of consultant deliverables (for example, full reports versus inputs to city documents).
 What are appropriate thresholds for Livermore relative to other jurisdictions in Alameda County?  How should the City consider land use types that are different than the basic residential, office and retail land uses described in the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Technical Advisory?  Which projects can screen out for VMT based on size, proximity to transit or other criteria recommended by OPR?  Are static tools (maps, spreadsheets) acceptable, or does the City want more interactive web-based tools?  When should a travel demand model be used to assess VMT changes versus more accessible tools?  What types of traffic operations analysis would still be appropriate to ensure safe access and operations within and near the proposed projects?
Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
88 The scoping would include up to two meetings (teleconference) and a summary memorandum.

Establish Thresholds. Thresholds for VMT evaluation will be established for several project types:
 Residential development
 Office development
 Retail development
 Other development types
 Other City infrastructure projects (road, bicycle, parking, etc.) For Livermore, the potential “region” for comparison could be Alameda County, the East Planning Area of Alameda County, or the nine county Bay Area region. Kittelson would provide potential VMT per capita and VMT per employee thresholds based on these three regions for comparison.

Screening Criteria. In its Technical Advisory, OPR provides suggestions that jurisdictions can utilize to screen out or exempt projects from undergoing CEQA VMT analysis. Kittelson will provide recommended screening criteria for the following categories:
 Small projects
 Provision of affordable housing
 Local-serving retail
 High-quality transit
 Map-based screening
Kittelson will review and summarize the screening criteria used by nearby agencies and similarly sized Bay Area agencies for comparison.

VMT Mitigation. The most relevant VMT mitigation measures for land use development projects will be summarized. The VMT mitigation research and tools being coordinated by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (CTC) will be referenced and incorporated as much as p ossible. For project -specific characteristics, a set of adjustment factors may be developed based on research (such as the CAPCOA report “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures”) or factors used by other jurisdictions.

Non-CEQA Analysis. While VMT will be the primary CEQA environmental impact analysis criterion, Livermore may choose to require other types of non-CEQA analysis to ensure that development projects conform to city policies and standards. These could include:
 Operations analysis for streets directly accessing the project site (queuing, signal warrants, etc.)  Non-auto evaluation including transit, bicycles, pedestrians  Safety evaluation
 Parking requirements
 Construction impacts
The guidelines would be based on best practices from other agencies combined with specific needs of development areas in Livermore.

EXHIBIT A
89 Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines. Kittelson will prepare a draft TIA Guidelines memorandum including both CEQA and non-CEQA elements. Kittelson will respond to one set of City comments on the draft guidelines and provide a final TIA Guidelines memorandum.

Task 5. Policy Development and Evaluation
The PlaceWorks team will develop a series of policy options for community consideration. These policy options will be assessed by the CAC and reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council.

5.1 Policy Development Outreach Strategy
At the outset of the policy development task, PlaceWorks will work closely with City staff to draft and refine an outreach strategy. PlaceWorks anticipates the policy outreach process will be focused on working with the CAC who will meet on a monthly or bimonthly basis to review and refine the policy options. The community will be encouraged to attend these meetings and provide feedback during the public comment periods. The results of the CAC discussions will be presented to the Planning Commission for review and City Council for direction. PlaceWorks does not anticipate holding community workshops or other events to review the policy options. PlaceW orks will prepare an administrative and final draft of the policy development outreach strategy.

5.2 Existing General Plan Policy Matrix
PlaceWorks will combine the City’s existing goals, objectives, policies , and actions into a consolidated matrix to assist in evaluation and direction by City staff. Working with the evaluation matrix, we will identify current General P lan goals, objectives, policies, and actions that:
 Remain relevant;
 Have been accomplished;
 Should be moved to other plans or ordinances; and/or
 Should be modified or deleted.

City staff will then be responsible for conducting a thorough review of the policy matrix and using their familiarity with the General Plan to identify problematic or unclear policies, organization that is confusing, or other issues that the General Plan Update should resolve.

Based on City staff direction, PlaceWorks will propose solutions to resolve issues relating to format, organization, clarity, policy gaps, redundancies, new State requirements or guidance for General Plans, and other related concerns. Together with staff, PlaceWorks will identify which policy topics are most pressing to bring to the CAC, Planning Commission, and City Council for consideration, and which others can likely be addressed at the staff/consultant team level.

5.3 Policy Options and Recommendations
PlaceWorks will facilitate discussions with the CAC, Planning Commission, City Council , and the community about new and expanded policy topics. All policy discussions will remain at a high level and avoid delving into specific policy wording.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
90 For policy topics that will be reviewed and drafted at the staff level, PlaceWorks will prepare a memorandum outlining policy options to address each topic. PlaceWorks will provide insight on the effects of potential policy changes across C ity departments and operations.

For policy topics that will be reviewed with the CAC, PlaceWorks will facilitate meetings with the CAC to obtain input on preferred policy approaches. The CAC recommendations will be presented to the Planning Commission for review and comment and to the City Council for final direction.

The PlaceWorks team will prepare an administrative, screencheck and public review drafts of the policy options and recommendations.

PlaceWorks will facilitate policy discussions on the following policy topics, subject to change at the direction of City Council:
 Equity, Land Use , and Public Health . Policy discussions will address topics such as age -friendliness, health, environmental justice, equity, and disadvantaged communities, and potential changes to land use designations.  Climate Change, Resilience, and Sustainability. Policy discussions will consider citywide land use and transportation connections and how they can achieve a more sustainable land use pattern and jobs/housing match in support of the concepts in Plan Bay Area 20 50 and SB 375, reduction in use of resources that result in increased natural resource protection, reduction of GHG emissions, and opportunities to increase the City and community’s resiliency to climate change effects. Policy discussions will also provide options to establish a better framework for the City’s updated CAP.  Circulation. In accordance with SB 743 and SB 932, Kittelson will consider options for transportation metrics , Safe Systems approaches, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and traffic calming. Policy discussions will also examine the implications of emerging transportation technologies, ridesharing, and micromobility services ( e.g., e- bikes and electronic scooters) and identify approaches to more fully integrate philosophies of AB 1358 (Complete Streets) and concepts from the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian & Trails Active Transportation Plan . Parking policy will be con sidered in the Circulation and Land Use Elements in light of AB 2097 prohibiting parking minimums near transit and other City goals and objectives.
 Economy. EPS will address economic development, including business attraction and retention, targeted industries, and industrial land supply, along with the City’s fiscal health.  Housing. P olicy discussions will address topics such as homelessness, affordable housing, fair housing, accessory dwelling units, and multi-family housing.
 Hazards and Safety. In accordance with SB 379 (climate adaptation and resiliency strategies), policy discussions will address climate vulnerability. PlaceWorks will also consider policies to integrate the 2018 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, as required by AB 2140. Policy options shall also address fire hazards, in accordance with SB 1241.  Community Health and Well -Being. Based on the analysis of disadvantaged communities in Task 3.2 , PlaceWorks will preliminarily identify and map environmental justice (EJ) communities for vetting by C ity staff and the community.

PlaceWorks will prepare policy options to reduce the unique and compounded health risks and prioritize improvements in EJ communities and increase access to resources and amenities.  Arts and Culture . PlaceWorks will prepare policy options for supporting arts organizations and expanding arts programming in public spaces.
 Natural and Cultural Resources. PlaceWorks, GPA Consulting, WRA, and Archeo-Tec will address agricultural, renewable energy, historic, cultural, and ecological resources, including equitable access to open space and opportunities for rewilding as called for in SB 1425.
 Infrastructure and Services. PlaceWorks will prepare policy options for public services, recreation, infrastructure financing, asset management, and water supply, including recommendations to support groundwater sustainability, in accordance with AB 1739 (groundwater management).

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
91  Open Space, Agriculture, and Scenic Corridors. Policy discussions will address topics such as open space and agricultural preservation and preservation of scenic corridors.

5.4 Draft Goals, Policies, and Actions
Before compiling the full Administrative Draft General Plan, PlaceWorks will prepare a complete set of draft goals, objectives, policies, and actions for City staff review. The draft goals, objectives, policies, and actions will respond to the policy direction obtained in Task 5.3 taking the next step to identify the specific organization and wording that will be used in the General Plan. PlaceWorks will submit a complete set of draft goals, objectives, policies, and actions to the City; after City staff review.

Following staff review, PlaceWorks will incorporate the revised set of goals, objectives, policies, and actions into the Administrative Draft General Plan in Task 7.3.

5.5 Land Use Map Update
PlaceWorks will review the current General Plan land use map with City staff and identify any parcels or areas for which land use designations should be updated to reflect minor land use changes, such as to bring outdated land use designations into consistency with built or approved projects, delete land use designations that are no longer used, or respond to individual landowner requests that do not require extensive public discussion.

PlaceWorks will work closely with City staff to understand how existing land use designations are falling short in reflecting and affecting conditions on the ground.

PlaceWorks will also conduct an analysis to ensure that the General Plan land use map is consistent with the Livermore Executive Airport 2012 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.

The outcome of this task will be an updated land use map and a first draft of revised land use designation descriptions.

Task 6. Housing Element and CEQA

6.1 Housing Element Project Management and Initiation
PlaceWorks will communicate with Livermore staff via phone and email throughout the project. We will:

1. Provide monthly email progress reports to the l City staff and a monthly meeting with each City staff during the process.

2. Provide and maintain an Internet-based folder for all project materials accessible to City staff and consultants.

PlaceWorks will prepare for and attend a virtual kick- off meeting with the City to exchange information and initiate work.

At the meeting, we will:
 Determine staff contact protocol.
 Review the scope of work and schedule.
 Review Housing Element legal requirements and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) practices.
 Identify stakeholders.
 Provide a list of data needs.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
92  Provide recommendations on format and organization of the 2023 –2031 Housing Element document based on the existing 2015–2023 Housing Element, input from City staff at the kickoff meeting, and best practices taken from other Housing Elements.

6.2 Housing Element Outreach
PlaceWorks will conduct stakeholder and service provider consultations with organizations representing different socio - economic members of the region to identify housing needs. We will work with the City to develop a comprehensive list of organizations throughout the region, which will likely include fair housing organizations, affordable housing providers, social service providers, community group representatives, and the Housing subgroup of the Equity and Inclusion Committee. The list must include organizations serving low -income families, people experiencing homelessness, and Spanish -speaking community members. PlaceWorks will conduct at least 6 phone surveys with stakeholders to discuss the issues and housing- related needs of their constituents and potentially conduct an email survey as well.

PlaceW
orks also proposes:
 One to three meetings with the CAC, as listed in Task 1.4, pending other CAC meeting t  One Planning Commission Study Session and/or City Council Study Session to discuss the new state laws and solicit input on site selection (if necessary) and other approaches to meeting the RHNA. This can also be done as a joint meeting.
 Four public hearings. One hearing each with the Planning Commission and the City Council to present the Draft Housing Element prior to submitting the Housing Element to HCD and then one public hearing to the Planning Commission to recommend adoption and one public hearing to the City Council for adoption of the Housing Element and associated documents.
 Partner with Community Based Organizations described in Task 1.9 to solicit community input on the Housing Element.  Community events descri bed in Task 1.5 will obtain input on the Housing Element, including events conducted in Spanish. Virtual events will utilize accessible formats that bridge the digital divide, such as mobile phone and Facebook Live.

6.3 Document Review
PlaceWorks will review documents relevant to the Housing Element U pdate to gain an understanding of local conditions and needs. Documents will include, but are not limited to:
 2015–2023 Housing Element
 All past communication with HCD, including any findings letters  General Plan
 Housing Element annual progress reports
 Zoning code
 Any other applicable programs and ordinances

6.4 Review of Previous Housing Element Programs
PlaceWorks will work closely with Livermore to determine the status, effectiveness, and appropriateness of the 2015–2023 housing programs. We will gather and document all available information regarding specific accomplishments. We will Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
93 identify content to drop, change, or add. Findings from the evaluation will be detailed in a matrix to be included in the draft Housing Element and used as a basis for program revisions for the remainder of the planning period. PlaceWorks will send the review matrix to Livermore to provide input before including it in the Administrative Draft Housing Element.

6.5 Land Inventory
The City currently has a draft RHNA of 4,570 units, which is a substantial increase from 2,729 units assigned in the fifth cycle 2015-2023 planning period. PlaceWorks will take the following steps to prepare an updated land inventory and ensure that there is a surplus of sites so there are no concerns about a no -net-loss situation. This work will be incorporated in the Administrative Draft Needs Analysis chapter.
a. Housing Parcel Identification Analysis
PlaceWorks realizes that identifying adequate sites can be a large undertaking. We will use the current sites inventory as a starting point and work with the City to determine which sites are still viable RHNA sites based on new state law requirements, including, but not limited to, the following:
 Additional analysis for sites smaller than one-half acre, larger than 10 acres  Additional analysis for underutilized sites
 Identify sites included in the past two Housing E lement cycles that are now required to allow affordable housing by - right
 Identify if sites are publicly owned
 Indicate whether a site has available or planned and accessible infrastructure Based on our initial conversations with City staff , PlaceWorks assumes the City will not need to identify sites to rezone to meet any RHNA shortfall. If this situation changes, we will work with the City to identify candidate sites and coordinate with our General Plan and environmental team to evaluate these sites.

For this task, our approach is as follows:
 Incorporate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) for the 2023-2031 cycle.
 Document potential sites. We will prepare an inventory, map, and analysis clearly illustrating Livermore’s capacity to accommodate the new RHNA. In keeping with S tate law, PlaceWorks will document the realistic development capacity of each site and prepare a map showing all identified sites.  Investigate alternative RHNA credits. This includes analyzing the capacity for alternative RHNA credits for accessory dwelling units, guest quarters, preservation of existing at- risk affordable housing projects, and other similar, nontraditional RHNA credit opportunities.
 Ensure sites affirmatively further fair housing. We will work with City staff to determine if the sites identified in the inventory are located throughout the community in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. b. Underutilized Sites Analysis
PlaceWorks will complete an analysis of nonvacant sites to potentially address a portion of the RHNA. As part of this analysis, we will analyze the realistic development potential within the planning period by considering the extent that a nonvacant site’s existing use impedes additional residential development, Livermore 's past experience converting existing uses to higher-density residential development, market trends and conditions, and regulatory or other incentives or standards that encourage additional housing development on any nonvacant sites.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
94 c. Demonstrate Feasibility of Infill and Densities Less Than 30 du/acre To demonstrate the feasibility of infill sites and densities less than 30 dwelling units per acre ( du/acre), PlaceWorks will review similarly situated built projects in Livermore and the neighboring communities, calling local developers, and reviewing proformas submitted to the City to infer development feasibility. d. Infrastructure Analysis
PlaceWorks will work to determine if parcels included in the inventory have sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities supply available and accessible to support housing development. We will work with the General Plan team to review existing General Plan programs or other mandatory programs or plans to secure sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities supply to support housing development on the site. The analysis will include sufficient detail to determine whether the service levels of water delivery/treat ment systems and sewer treatment facilities are sufficient and have capacity to accommodate development on all identified sites to accommodate the RHNA. e. Financial and Programmatic Resources.

PlaceWorks will update financial, physical, and programmatic resources available for affordable housing programs, including local, state funding programs, and private-sector resources. We will assess current and potential housing programs to recommend future programs that will support the City’s housing objectives. f. Electronic Housing Element Site Inventory Form
Pursuant to SB 6 (Chapter 667, Statutes of 2019), for a Housing Element adopted on or after January 1, 2021, an electronic copy of the final inventory of the land inventory parcels using HCD -approved Excel spreadsheets must be prepared and submitted to HCD with the Housing Element. PlaceWorks will submit Livermore’s final electronic Housing E lement site inventory form to HCD upon adoption of the Housing Element. g. Fair Housing Assessment
AB 686 requires each city or county to take actions to overcome patterns of segregation, address disparities in housing needs and access to opportunity, and foster inclusive communities. PlaceWorks will prepare an assessment of fair housing practices, examine the relationship of available sites to areas of high opportunity, and include actions to affirmatively advance fair housing. The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee/HCD Opportunity Maps will be included and are intended to display the areas, according to research, that offer low-income children and adults the best chance at economic advancement, high educational attainment, and good physical and mental health. The goal of AB 686 is to ensure available sites for low-income housing are in high resource areas rather than concentrated in areas of high segregation and poverty.

It will be important to demonstrate adequate sites throughout the City and meaningful actions to overcome geographic disparities.

6.6 Housing Needs Assessment Document
PlaceWorks will create a housing needs analysis document pursuant to Government Code Section 65583 with data from the HCD pre-approved data packet, 2010 (or 2020 if available) U.S. Census data, ACS data, the HCD approved ABAG data packet, and other relevant sources. PlaceWorks will coordinate with staff to evaluate housing conditions using state-approved criteria. This work will be incorporated in the Administrative Draft Needs Analysis chapter. The regional housing needs analysis will include the following.
 Population and Demographics: Population trends and projections, race and ethnicity, and population age.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
95  Household Characteristics: Number, size, and type of existing households, and characteristics of lower -income households (including extremely low).
 Employment and Income: Employment by industry, occupation of employed residents, and income trends.  Housing Stock Characteristics*: Housing types and conditions, overcrowded households, and vacancy rates.  Housing Costs and Affordability: Home sale price trends, rental costs, affordability for households at all income levels, and overpayment.
 Special Housing Needs: Special housing needs of persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), multilingual individuals, people experiencing homelessness, seniors, large households, and female-headed households.
 Fair Housing Assessment (new requirement): An analysis of impediments to fair housing, pursuant to AB 686. This is now required for all Housing Elements adopted after 2021.  At-Risk Housing: Inventory and analysis of existing affordable units at risk of converting to market rate during the planning period.
 Opportunities for Energy Conservation: Pursuant to SB 375 and AB 32, an inventory and analysis of opportunities to encourage the incorporation of energy -saving features, energy -saving materials, electrification, and energy-efficient systems and design for residential development.
*This scope does not include a windshield housing conditions survey. We anticipate that we can fulfil the requirement to identify the number of houses that need rehabilitation or replacement with building permit and code enforcement data that we obtain from City staff.

6.7 Housing Constraints
PlaceWorks will complete a regional analysis of potential nongovernmental constraints, including construction costs and the availability of financing. This work will be incorporated in the Administrative Draft Constraints chapter.

We will update the actual governmental constraints, including constraints to maintenance, improvement, and development of housing (pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(a)(4,5)). Potential constraints to be reviewed include any land use controls, fees and exactions, permit processing procedures, building codes and code enforcement, and land. We will identify potential programs and strategies to reduce or remove identified constraints. This task will include all the analysis needed to comply with recent updates to state housing law.

6.8 Housing Goals, Policies, and Quantified Objectives
PlaceWorks will work with the City to update goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives (pursuant to Government Code Sections 65583 et seq.) to address identified housing needs and constraints based on the effectiveness and continued appropriateness of existing programs, information received through public outreach, the analysis of constraints, and findings from the needs assessment. Programs will describe specific steps for implementation and will identify a time frame and responsible department. This deliverable will be incorporated in the Administrative Draft Goals, Policies, and Quantified Objectives chapter. Programs will address:
 All new state requirements since adoption of the existing Housing Element  Consistency and compliance with the rest of the City General Plan elements and community goals  Development controls and regulatory incentives
Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
96  Housing opportunities for all City residents, including the elderly, those with disabilities, low -income families, the homeless, and other special-needs groups
 Fair housing programs
 Sources of affordable housing funding
 Preserving and improving existing affordable housing
 Facilitating development of adequate housing and infrastructure to meet the needs of low - and moderate- income households in keeping with the regional fair-share allocation  Mitigating any governmental constraints to providing and improving housing

6.9 Administrative Draft Housing Element
PlaceWorks will incorporate the feedback received during the community outreach and stakeholder feedback received into a comprehensive, formatted Administrative Draft Housing Element. PlaceWorks will submit the Administrative Draft Housing Element to the City for review as an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format. Any outstanding data still needed from the City will be flagged in the Administrative Draft Housing Element so it can be addressed during staff’s review. We request that we receive one consolidated set of comments on the administrative draft.

6.10 Public Review Draft Housing Element
PlaceWorks will address staff comments on the administrative draft and reply to any questions. We will incorporate comments and revisions from staff’s review of the administrative draft, as directed. PlaceWorks will then prepare and submit a Public Review Draft Housing Element to HCD and the community for review and comment.

6.11 Adopted Final Housing Element
PlaceWorks will prepare a final Housing Element that incorporates any changes to the public draft from City staff, HCD, or public comments received.

6.12 Housing Element CEQA
Unless a significant change in land use designation or zoning is needed to support the RHNA, it is unlikely that the policies in the updated Housing Element would result in significant changes to the environment. Therefore, the City should be able to rely on the 2015 Housing Element Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) ) for the analysis of physical impacts associated with future development consistent with the General Plan. Land development standards, such as density and intensity of development, are part of the Land Use Element, and implemented by zoning, not by the Housing Element.

While there may be indirect impacts associated with future actions directed by Housing Element Policy, many agencies are able to adopt their Housing Element with an Addendum to their General Plan EIR. Use of an Addendum provides both the substantial evidence protection of the General Plan EIR, and significantly reduces both the cost and time associated with preparation of a negative declaration or subsequent EIR. PlaceWorks will complete the following tasks to prepare the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) clearance for the Housing Element. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck and public review draft IS/MND.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
97 a. CEQA Project Descriptions and Preliminary Review
Once the whole of the project is understood, typically around the completion of the sites inventory, PlaceWorks will prepare a project description. After review of the project description with the City, we will meet with City Staff and ensure that an Addendum is still appropriate.
b. 2015 Housing Element IS/MND Addendum
Even with some land use redesignation/rezoning to meet the RHNA, an Addendum may still be possible, as the test is whether the project would result in “…new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.” If the Housing Element requires rezoning or up-zoning, PlaceWorks will review the General Plan and EIR for policies and mitigation measures that could be used to reduce impacts at the locations of the rezones. At this point, we believe that the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR will not be met and we will prepare an Addendum to the 2015 Housing Element IS/MND, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, in a format similar to the other Addendums that have been prepared for the City in 2019 and 2020. The Addendum will expla in the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and will be supported by substantial evidence in either an Initial Study checklist, or similar explanatory document.

Public circulation of an Addendum is not required, but we will provide a copy of the Addendum and substantial evidence to the City for posting on its website.
c. Senate Bill 18 Consultation Support
PlaceWorks will complete the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) online form requesting a tribal contact list.

Using the addresses on the list from NAHC, PlaceWorks will draft letters (on City letterhead) to each of the tribes on the NAHC list inquiring whether they want consultation. Because an Addendum is not a publicly circulated document, consultation under AB 52 is not required. PlaceWorks can facilitate and attend the consultation(s); however, the City must be represented. Pursuant to SB 18, tribes identified by NAHC will receive a written letter notifying them of the proposed project and asking if they wish to consult. Following the consultation meeting (or conference call), PlaceWorks will provide the written outcome of the process and a record for the environmental documentation showing that consultation has been completed.
d. Notice of Determination
Following the approval of the Addendum and within five days of approval of the Housing Element, PlaceWorks will prepare a Notice of Determination (NOD). City staff will submit the NOD to the County Clerk and pay all applicable filing fees at the time of posting. Note our budget does not include payment of any filing fees for the NOD.

6.13 HCD R
eview
PlaceWorks staff maintains strong working relationships with HCD reviewers. Our staff is very familiar with HCD's processes, staff, and what steps to take to ensure Housing Element certification.

PlaceWorks will serve as the City’s liaison to HCD. This service will include:
 Submittal of the draft Housing Element to HCD (60-day review).  Calls and emails with HCD staff to discuss comments.

98 6.14 Land Inventory GIS Tracking Tool
PlaceWorks will develop a new GIS based land inventory shapefile that contains relevant attributes to capture existing and future conditions and track change by running on the fly calculations to ensure that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity for each income group throughout the entire planning process. This shapefile will include attribution to capture APN, address, lot size, zoning, allowable density, housing units, income category, etc.

Task 7. General Plan
The General Plan Update will address all existing General Plan elements except for the Housing Element, which will be updated in Task 5. The General Plan Update prepared by PlaceWorks will be in a form suitable for both reading as a printed volume and for online viewing. The document will also be created in a format that allows City staff to make text amendments easily and efficiently, in both the printed and online versions. As part of this task, PlaceWorks will prepare an Administrative, Screencheck, and Public Review Draft of the General Plan.

This scope is organized by the contents of the existing General Plan. However, PlaceWorks understands that the organization of the General Plan will evolve as the project unfolds and the Plan content is developed. New elements may be added, and existing elements may be reorganized and combined. The final organization of the Plan document will respond to these changes and to guidance from staff, the community, CAC, Planning Commission, and City Council.

7.1 General Plan Outreach Strategy
At the outset of the General Plan task, PlaceWorks will work closely with City staff to draft and refine an outreach strategy that defines which of the outreach methods and meetings in Task 1 will be used and how. PlaceWorks anticipates General Plan outreach will focus on educating the community about the Draft General Plan and seeking input on the proposed policy direction. Following the public review of the Draft General Plan, PlaceWorks anticipates facilitating a series of meetings with the CAC to review and get feedback on the Draft General Plan. Community and CAC feedback on the Draft General Plan will be shared with the Planning Commission for review and comment and to the City Council for final direction. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative and final draft of the general plan outreach strategy.

7.2 General Plan Outline and Format
Prior to preparing the Administrative Draft General Plan, PlaceWorks will submit a draft outline of the General Plan, as well as a memorandum defining important components, such as page layout; figure and policy numbering convention; wording; and definitions of goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures. City staff will review and

7.3 Administrative Draft General Plan
The PlaceWorks team will prepare a General Plan that meets State legal requirements, is readable/user -friendly, easy to implement, and responds to staff and community needs. The General Plan will provide an integrated, internally consistent statement of the C ity’s goals, objectives, policies, and actions. Each element of the updated General Plan will include the following:
 A brief review of background information summarizing current conditions in the Planning Area. Rather than exhaustive explanations of technical details, these sections will provide concise explanations that set the stage for the goals, objectives, policies, and actions.
 Clearly articulated goals that the C ity is attempting to attain, toward which progress can be measured and reported annually.
 Policies and actions that the City will implement to achieve its goals.

99  Maps, tables, photographs, and other graphics to clarify and illustrate key concepts.

Because some important issues are interrelated with other topics and therefore do not lend themselves to a discrete General Plan element, PlaceWorks will use icons to call out policies and implementation measures that relate to those key issues.

The icons will also be summarized by topic in an appendix so that a reader can find all policies and actions related to a topic in one place.

The specific contents of the sections described herein may be modified upon consent by City staff, pending the evolution of the General Plan Update.
a. Introduction
This section will explain the purpose of the General Plan, what it contains, how it can serve different users (e.g., concerned residents, property owners, elected officials, and staff), an overview of the Planning Area boundaries, and the process through which it was created.
b. About Livermore
This section will describe Livermore’s physical setting, a brief overview of Livermore’s history, including documenting the legacy of the Native Americans who first inhabited the area. c. Land Use Element
The updated Land Use Element will shape future physical development throughout Livermore. As a mandatory element, its basic contents are guided by statutory requirements, but the specifics will be highly tailored to Livermore. The Element will regulate the distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land for housing, business, industry, open space, natural resources, recreation and enjoyment of scenic beauty, education, public buildings and grounds, and other categories of public and private uses of land, and establish standards of population density and building intensity for land use designations.

The Land Use Element will also contain sections for other legally required topics, such as consistency with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.

The Land Use Element will also include policies and implementation measures addressing age- friendliness, health, environmental justice, and disadvantaged communities. PlaceWorks will develop these policies, and others throughout the General Plan, in collaboration with City staff.

The Land Use Element will incorporate any changes incorporated through the selection of the Preferred Land Use Scenario as well as land use map updates determined in Task 5.5. d. Community Character Element
The Community Character Element will identify policy direction to enhance Livermore’s community character and ensure that the physical appearance of the city embodies and is consistent with the values and vision identified by the community through the General Plan update, such as diversity and inclusivity. Topics addressed in this element include scenic corridors, open space, light and glare, urban design, cultural and historic resources, and arts and cultural programming. e. Circulation Element
Kittelson will lead the preparation of the updated Circulation Element in collaboration with PlaceWorks and City staff. The updated Circulation Element will incorporate Complete Streets policies, reflect new General Plan guidelines, and incorporate new policies related to VMT, transportation demand management, traffic calming, and emerging transportation technologies. Kittelson will incorporate relevant ideas and findings from the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Active Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

100
Transportation Plan, East Avenue Corridor Study , and the updated CAP, although each of these will remain separate and independent documents.

Kittelson will incorporate the modeling results from Task 8 to incorporate additional major transportation infrastructure needed to address future deficiencies the circulation diagram showing circulation system improvements, and the transportation network identified to support future land uses. f. Housing Element
See Task 5 for a description of the Housing Element Update. g. Infrastructure and Public Services Element
The Infrastructure and Public Services Element will identify and discuss major issues affecting the adequate provision of public facilities to meet the needs of future development, including funding and potential constraints associated with service and the need to coordinate growth with funding to maintain and protect quality of life for all residents. This element will address the provisions of SB 244 and SB 1000 and their focus on providing equitable access to services and infrastructure.

Working in collaboration with Public Works, PlaceWorks will also incorporate the guiding policy recommendations from the Asset Management Program. Based on the existing element, the updated element will include the following topics:
 Water: Supply and conservation, including new requirements for sustainable groundwater management  Wastewater: Collection and treatment
 Stormwater: Collection and current ideas about green infrastructure  Public Utilities: Pacific Gas & Electric and telecommunications, broadband internet, and cable services  Police Services and Urban Fire Protection
 Schools and Childcare: A lthough the City does not administer schools, State statutes allow certain City engagement with school districts in site selection/school design. The General Plan can stress the importance of education to the community and the need for close coordination between the City and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District.  Solid Waste Collection: Reflective of new requirements, such as organic waste diversion under AB 1826 (2016) and SB 1383 (2016)
 Community Health Facilities
 Homeless Services and Facilities: To be coordinated with updates to the Housing Element  Other Public Facilities (e.g., libraries)
h. Open Space and Conservation Element
The Open Space and Conservation Element will address the conservation, development, and utilization of the range of natural resources in Livermore, including:
 Vegetation, wildlife, habitat, and ecological resources, incorporating relevant data and strategies from the Eastern Alameda County Conservation Strategy.
 Agricultural resources and soil resources.
 Mineral resources.
 Water resources and quality, including urban and rural creeks, with updates to reflect the findings of the vulnerability assessment.

101
 Open space for outdoor recreation and conservation.
 Air quality and GHG emissions.
 Energy conservation and waste reduction.
 Open Space as a cultural resource – native American significance, such as peaks and riparian areas i. Noise Element
The Noise Element will analyze and quantify current and projected noise levels for roadways, railroad operations, the airport, industrial facilities, and other stationary noise sources in the Planning Area. PlaceWorks will map general stationary and transportation-related noise contours and develop associated goals and policies. j. Public Safety Element
The Public Safety Element aims to reduce the short- term and long-term potential threats to community health and safety, foster a resilient local economy and natural ecosystem, and minimize the potential for disruption. This General Plan Update is an opportunity to build on recent regional and state hazard mitigation and adaptation planning efforts and to update data, methods, and strategies consistent with State requirements and best practices.

The PlaceWorks team will update the Public Safety Element, as follows:
 Background information,
 Hazard-specific information and details,
 Applicable mapping, including required evacuation mapping, and  Goals, policies, and strategies.

The element will incorporate the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment and other relevant analyses. We anticipate the updated Public Safety Element will address natural, climate, and human- made hazards identified in the existing Safety Element and the 2018 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the Climate Vulnerability Assessment, including flooding, seismic and geologic hazards, drought, extreme weather, wind, fire, agricultural pests and diseases, human health hazards, airport safety, and hazardous materials. In addition to hazards, we recommend the Public Safety Element address evacuation, energy resilience, power shutoffs, and emergency preparedness and response.

Goals, policies, and implementation programs will be responsive to these issues and meet requirements of the California Government Code. We emphasize a “no -regrets” approach that builds short- and long -term community resiliency and provides co-benefits, such as financial savings, conservation of natural resources, and improvements to public health. We will streamline the element by creating policies that address multiple issues of concern, including climate mitigation and adaptation, environmental justice, and community health, and provide multiple benefits. k. Economic Development and Fiscal Element
The Economic Development and Fiscal Element will include goals and policies addressing a range of topics, building on City strategies to promote a healthy and diverse economy through encouraging local innovation-driven opportunities, seeking balanced economic expansion that preserves Livermore’s sense o f place, and supporting diverse and thriving commercial nodes within the Ci ty that promote diversity, resiliency, and inclusivity . Goals and policies in this element will leverage current and past City efforts and will consider new opportunities for c ommercial development in the Focus Areas, as identified in the Preferred Scenario. Pending the ultimate organization of the Plan, this element may also touch on arts and culture as a component of a thriving economy.

102
EPS will rely on input from the City’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development, and interviews with City staff and local stakeholders, to provide suggestions for economic development actions and implementation recommendations , reflecting best practices, the capacity and resources of the City and its partners, and local and regional economic conditions.

Potential strategies also will consider the City’s goals for jobs, housing, environmental protection, and fiscal health.

Relying on the SWOT assessment, and building on EPS professional experience in economic development, real estate, and public finance in similar jurisdictions, EPS will define a broad set of possible economic development approaches. In consultation with Cit y staff, potential strategies will be revised and/or refined and organized around the main economic development goals of the City. The agreed-upon economic development concepts will comprise the economic development strategies recommended for inclusion in the Economic Development and Fiscal Element. l. Implementation Strategy
PlaceWorks will prepare an Implementation Strategy, which will be summarized in a matrix, for the updated General Plan to connect day-to-day department operations and short-term implementation measures with long-term goals. For each of the implementation measures listed in the adopted General Plan, PlaceWorks will:
 Identify the specific General Plan goal the item will implement.  Identify the agency, department, or organization to carry out the task.  Identify resources required for the item.
 Identify the timeframe needed to complete the task.
 Establish a measure to indicate successful completion of the task. m. Glossary and Abbreviations
The final section of the General Plan will be a glossary of technical terms and a list of abbreviations. n. Appendices
PlaceWorks will compile technical data and documentation of the public outreach process in appendices to the General Plan.

7.4 Second Administrative Draft General Plan
In response to comments and direction from City staff on the administrative draft, PlaceWorks will prepare a second administrative draft of the General Plan.

7.5 Draft General Plan
Based on comments from City staff, PlaceWorks will prepare the Screencheck and Public Review Drafts of the General Plan.

PlaceWorks will submit these documents to City staff in Word and PDF format. The PlaceWorks team will prepare all text, tables, and figures to be incorporated in the Draft General Plan.

Task 8. General Plan EIR
PlaceWorks will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR and submit it electronically to City staff for review and comment. The impact analysis will be comprehensive and cover all CEQA requirements. Significance criteria will be identified for each Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
103
impact topic based upon thresholds of significance identified in Appendix G, Environmental Checklist Form, of the CEQA Guidelines and identified in the scoping process.

Impacts and mitigation measures will be organized and discussed by topic. For each identified environmental impact, a set of feasible mitigation measures will be recommended. Pertinent calculations and technical information will be provided in attached appendices.

The Draft EIR will be organized by the following main topics:
 Executive Summary. PlaceWorks will create a summary in a form consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15123, Summary. This summary will facilitate a quick understanding of environmental issues and the actions required to mitigate potential impacts. It will include a summary table of impacts, mitigation measures, and levels of significance before and after mitigation.
 Introduction and Project Description. These chapters will introduce the EIR and provide a stable project description for the General Plan Update.
 Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. The existing setting information, impact analyses, and mitigation measures will be combined to create chapters describing environmental consequences for each CEQA-required topic. The existing setting information will draw from the existing conditions reports prepared for the General Plan Update.  Alternatives Evaluation. The alternatives evaluation chapter will include a tabular comparison of the impacts of each alternative, and a qualitative comparison in adequate detail to provide meaningful distinctions and conclusions.  CEQA-Mandated Sections. PlaceWorks will prepare assessment conclusions to meet CEQA Guidelines for the following mandatory findings:
 Cumulative Impacts
 Growth Inducement
 Unavoidable Significant Effects
 Significant Irreversible Changes
 Impacts Found Not to be Significant
 Organizations and Persons Consulted. This chapter will include agencies and persons contacted.  Report Preparers. This chapter will identify the consultants and staff who prepared the EIR.

Potential significant impacts anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed General Plan Update shall be mitigated to be less than significant as much as possible. In the event that potential significant impacts remain, new policies and programs will be proposed to further mitigate the potential impacts. Mitigating policies and programs will ensure the General Plan Update is “self-mitigating” to the degree feasible.

The PlaceWorks team will complete the following tasks in preparing the EIR.

8.1 Notice of Preparation and Scoping Session
PlaceWorks will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR, for staff review, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15082, Notice of Preparation and Determination of Scope of EIR, and distribute it to the State Clearinghouse. In addition, PlaceWorks will attend a scoping meeting and prepare a presentation for the meeting. This scope assumes that City staff will be responsible for noticing and outreach.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
104
Following the 30-day scoping period, PlaceWorks will organize the comments received in both written form and summaries of oral comments given at the scoping meeting (if no formal recording is prepared). We will prepare a written summary of each comment in matrix format that identifies the commenter and the environmental issues raised during the scoping period for inclusion in the Draft EIR.

8.2 2045 Horizon Year General Plan Projections
PlaceWorks will work with City staff to estimate the amount of potential horizon year development to be evaluated in the EIR. The development estimates will be organized by land use type (e.g., residential, office, commercial, industrial) and will demonstrate the amount of development expected to occur by the horizon year of the General Plan (assumed to be 2045).

We will prepare a draft set of numbers, make any changes needed, and provide staff with an opportunity for a final review before using those numbers as the basis for the quantitative evaluation in the EIR for the environmental topics of air quality, energy, GHG, noise, public services, transportation, and utilities.

8.3 Thresholds of Significance Memorandum
Based on the CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G, and other applicable federal, state, and local sources, including input from City staff, the PlaceWorks environmental team will develop thresholds of significance for each area of environmental analysis for use in evaluating the potential impacts of implementing the General Plan Update. In developing thresholds of significance, the PlaceWorks team will consider construction -period and operational impacts for future development throughout the General Plan horizon.

8.4 EIR Introduction and Project Description
PlaceWorks will draft the introduction of the EIR, which includes the Introduction and Executive Summary chapters. These chapters will discuss the purpose, intended use, tiering and streamlining process, the environmental review process, organization of the EIR and its relation to other plans and regulations, actions required to implement the General Plan Update, explanation of mitigation measures, and a description of agencies that may use the EIR. Following the preparation of the Screencheck Draft EIR, PlaceWorks will include a summary of the environmental analysis conclusions of the Draft EIR in the Executive Summary. The conclusions will be formatted in a table with four columns: (1) impact; (2) significance without mitigation; (3) mitigation measures; and (4) significance with mitigation.

PlaceWorks will draft a project description for City staff to review and approve, with additional narrative discussing the locati
on, and regional context of the City. This section will also discuss the general components of the General Plan Update, as well as the differences between the current General Plan and the new update, which will be discussed in a quantifiable manner, as will the rest of the EIR. The project description will also include a description of the draft H abitat Conservation Plan (HCP), including the purpose and objectives of the HCP. The project description will expand on the purposes of the EIR for the General Plan Update and HCP and will discuss the required permits and approvals needed to adopt the plans.

8.5 Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures
PlaceWorks will prepare the setting section of the EIR by referencing existing conditions data compiled in Task 3.1.

PlaceWorks will establish the cumulative setting with input from the City, which describes the reasonably foreseeable development in the current pipeline and other projects in proximity to the EIR Study Area with the potential to affect the cumulative setting. The PlaceWorks team will evaluate cumulative impacts under each environmental topic area listed under Task 8.5.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
105
We will draft each chapter of the EIR to include a discussion of impacts and mitigation measures pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. This analysis will include a narrative discussion of potential impacts of the General Plan Update policies that will serve as mitigation. The analysis will address each component identified in the project description, including the draft HCP.

The applicable environmental topics to be included are listed below. a. Aesthetics
The aesthetics analysis will determine whether the General Plan Update and draft HCP will have a substantial adverse effect related to aesthetic or visual resources. This section will describe the visual qualities of the EIR Study Area, and surroundings, including landscape setting, open space, view corridors, views, entrances and edges, and sources of light and glare. It will also summarize information on all applicable regulations related to visual quality and aesthetics, including how Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21099, formerly Senate Bill 743, passed in 2013, applies to future development. PRC 21099 made changes to the CEQA for projects located in transit- oriented development areas. Among these changes are that a project’s aesthetics impacts are no longer considered significant impacts on the environment if the project is a residential, mixed-use residential, or employment center project and if the project is located on an infill site within a transit priority area (TPA).
1 If necessary, mitigation measures to reduce aesthetics impacts to a less-than-significant level will be recommended in the form of additional or revised policies.
b. Agriculture and Forestry Resources
This section will catalog any local agricultural resources. Potential impacts to these resources as a result of the proposed plans will be analyzed to determine if they pose a substantial adverse effect. These impacts may occur through direct conversion of Important Farmland, conflicts with land protected under Williamson Act contracts, or through potential indirect impacts on existing agricultural operations. In the event an impact is determined to be significant, mitigation measures shall be included to reduce the impact to as minimally significant as possible. c. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality and GHG emissions analysis for the Livermore General Plan Update and EIR. The analysis will be based on the current methodology of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD ) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines for projects in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB). i. Existing Emissions Inventory
PlaceWorks will prepare an existing criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions inventory for the City. We will utilize as much information as possible from the Climate Action Plan ( CAP) Update and supplement the data for additional sectors for the sphere of influence (SOI) and criteria air pollutant emissions for applicable sectors. PlaceWorks will update the CAP modeling to the 2021 baseline year. For the General Plan Update and EIR, which will include the City and the SOI, the inventory will include the following sectors.
 On-Road Transportation. Development allowed under the General Plan would generate criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions from an anticipated increase in trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by passenger vehicles and trucks. At this time, we do not know the methodology being utilized for the CAP update for the on -road transportation sector.

For the EIR, VMT provided by the General Plan transportation consultant will be modeled using the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) latest emissions factor model (EMFAC2021) for both GHG emissions and criteria air pollutant emissions.

 Residential and Non-Residential Built Environment (Energy ). Buildings in the City consume electricity and natural gas.

We are assuming the City will be able to provide the supporting files prepared by the City’s CAP consultant to support our review and assessment of the activity data used for the CAP update (i.e., annual electricity and natural gas use for residential, non -residential, and agriculture uses) and the carbon intensity factors used for electricity for existing conditions and the forecast year. PlaceWorks will update this data to the 2021 baseline year. Because the CAP update is only calculating GHG emissions from the built environment, PlaceWorks will model criteria air pollutant emissions from natural gas use for the Air Quality chapter of the EIR. It should be noted that the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories under federal jurisdiction and not the City of Livermore. Additionally, it is assumed that PG&E excludes electricity and natural gas use for this facility from energy reports submitted to the City.  Water Use/Wastewater Generation. Electricity is used to transport and treat water for indoor and outdoor purposes.

Additionally, treatment of wastewater generates fugitive GHG emissions. We are assuming the City will be able to provide the supporting files prepared by the City’s CAP consultant to support our review and assessment of the activity data used for the CAP update (i.e., annual gallons of water and wastewater) and the carbon intensity factors used for electricity-related water use and wastewater generation for existing conditions and the forecast year. GHG emissions per gallon per service population for existing conditions will be used to estimate GHG emissions from waste generated by the population and employment in the SOI.
 Solid Waste Disposal. Disposal of municipal solid waste generate indirect GHG emissions from decomposition of organic materials. We are assuming the City will be able to provide the supporting files prepared by the City’s CAP consultant to support our review and assessment of the activity data used for the CAP update (i.e., annual tonnage of waste sent to landfills) and details on the calculation methodology for this sector are provided in the CAP update. GHG emissions per ton per service population for existing conditions will be used to estimate GHG emissions from waste generated by the population and employment in the SOI.
 Agriculture. This sector includes emissions from off -road agricultural equipment fuel use and equipment emissions , fertilizer application on crops, livestock digestion (enteric fermentation and manure management), pesticide application, and agricultural residue burning. Because the CAP is focused on the City boundaries and not SOI, it is assumed that the CAP update does not include this sector and that PlaceWorks would quantify emissions.  Other Applicable Sources. Use of off-road equipment, such as those used during construction activities, in the City also generates criteria air pollutant and GHG emission. We are assuming the City will be able to provide the supporting files prepared by the City’s CAP consultant to support our review and assessment of this activity data, including OFFROAD 2017, so that we can apply these assumptions to the SOI.  Permitted Sources . While industrial sources in the City generate emissions, these stationary sources are permitted sources of emissions and not under the direct or indirect control of the City. If information is available for permitted sources from BAAQMD, these sources will be identified within the inventory separately. ii. Future Emissions Forecasts
Once the General Plan Update horizon year land use statistics are compiled, PlaceWorks will conduct emissions forecasts for the General Plan Update h orizon year and/or utilize the emissions forecasts in the CAP update, depending on whether or not the emissions forecast year for the General Plan is the same as that being analyzed in the CAP (i.e., 2045) and whether or not the CAP update utilizes the population and employment forecasts being utilized for the General Plan update and EIR.

Additionally, our scop e of work includes a forecast of criteria air pollutant emissions and GHG emissions in the SOI. The emissions forecast will be based on historic information compiled for the existing conditions and forecasted based on the increase in population and employment in the City and SOI as a result of implementation of the General Plan Update. It is assumed that the CAP consultants will be able to provide details on the emissions factors and calculation methodology to ensure consistency with the General Plan Update and CAP update. For the transportation sector, the increase in VMT will be based on the data provided by the traffic engineer. For the General Plan horizon year air quality and GHG forecast, PlaceWorks will consider existing regulations that reduce criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions.

iii. Air Quality and GHG Emissions EIR Analysis
The EIR will detail potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan Update and draft HCP compared to the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G threshold questions.

The results of the technical modeling described above will be compiled into the EIR. Model outputs will be included as an appendix. Regional emissions will be compared to the applicable thresholds. Potential localized air quality impacts from construction activities associated with implementation of the General Plan will be described qualitatively and mitigation measures will be recommended to ensure that implementation of projects under the General Plan does not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

The SFBAAB is currently designated nonattainment under the National and/or California ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for ozone (O 3), coarse inhalable particulate matter (PM 10), and fine inhalable particulate matter (PM 2.5). BAAQMD has adopted a Clean Air and Plan to ensure BAAQMD can attain the long-term National and California AAQS. The study will include a consistency evaluation of the project’s regional emissions to goals of the Clean Air Plan . The outcomes of the Senate Bill 1000 Environmental Justice outreach will be documented in the EIR. The SFBAAB is designated in attainment for carbon monoxide (CO) under both the California and National AAQS. Therefore, the air quality analysis will include only a qualitative assessment of CO hotspots. In addition, the study will include a qualitative assessment of potential odor generators to describe potential odor impacts.

The GHG analysis will discuss the GHG reduction goals of SB 32, Executive Orders S -03-05 and B -55-18, and SB 375. To achieve the GHG reduction targets of SB 32, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the 2017 Scoping Plan Update. In addition, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) adopted their Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) , Plan Bay Area, to ensure the region can attain the regional transportation-related GHG reduction goals of SB 375. Project consistency with statewide GHG emissions reduction strategies (CARB Scoping Plan) and consistency with Plan Bay Area will be reviewed. PlaceWorks will identify General Plan policies and/or mitigation measures that reduce emissions. d. Biological Resources
PlaceWorks will write the biological resources chapter based on the biological assessment prepared by WRA. The biological resources section of the EIR will discuss potential impacts the General Plan Update may have on existing biological resources, including those on federal or State protected sensitive environments or special status species. In the event that a potential significant impact is foreseen on existing biological resources, mitigation measure will be drafted to reduce the impact to be as minimally significant as possible. The biological assessment will evaluate potential impacts to special status plant and wildlife species, wildlife movement corridors, wetlands and creeks, and riparian or other sensitive resources.

The PlaceWorks team will also include a programmatic review of the City’s Draft HCP, which will ensure compliance with regulatory requirements that protect sensitive wildlife, plant, and habitat resources within the Livermore region while allowing the City to carry out necessary infrastructure improvement, operation, and maintenance activities. e. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
PlaceWorks will write the cultural and tribal cultural resources chapters based on the technical reports prepared by GPA Consulting (historic resources) and Archeo-Tec (archeological resources).

GPA Consulting will prepare a historic resources report built off of their recently completed city -wide survey where they identified all the built environment historic properties in the city and properties that are potentially significant. GPA will organize their report on the Appendix G CEQA Guidelines questions.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
108
Archeo-Tec will review the archival literature review to assess any prehistoric and/or historic period cultural resources previously identified within, or closely adjacent to, the EIR Study Area and if so, to determine their specific locations, dimensions, characteristics and historical significance in accordance with the standards of the CEQA. Special attention will be given to any updates made to the records since the current General Plan. Archeo-tec will prepare a focused assessment of the information re covered through the process of historical review. This includes archaeological sensitivity modeling of the EIR Study Area based on environmental factors and proximity to previously identified cultural resources. The GIS-based, Weighted Overlay analysis will use up-to-date topographic data in combination with a historical hydrology and locations of previously identified archaeological resources. The result of the spatial analysis will be a city -wide map estimating archaeological sensitivity. If deemed informative, separate maps for historic and prehistoric resource sensitivity may be generated. Archeo-Tec will organize their written report to accompany the archaeological sensitivity map on the Appendix G CEQA Guidelines questions.

The EIR chapter will address the potential of the General Plan Update and draft HCP to impact prehistoric, historical, or built environment cultural resources, including the potential for buried resources. This will include a recap of the prehistory and history of the city and a review of local, State, and federal laws regarding the treatment of cultural resources. Mitigation measures will be prescribed as appropriate.

This section will also include analysis of tribal cultural resources. The types of resources documented will range from sites and sacred places, to features and landscapes, and any object that may be of cultural value to a California Native American tribe. PlaceWorks will summarize the noticing and outreach outcome from Task 1.10. Mitigation measures will be identified and included in the EIR as needed.
f. Energy
Working closely with the Air Quality and GHG emissions team, this chapter will describe the existing energy sources and demands in Livermore and the energy demands for the existing conditions . The analysis will include descriptions of applicable regulations, such as the 2019 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6), CALGreen, and the Renewable Portfolio Standard. Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, PlaceWorks will prepare the energy section that will describe the required energy demands for the proposed project and energy conservation features to determine if the project will result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during construction or operation.

This section will be prepared to be consistent with the energy demands evaluated in the air quality and greenhouse gas emission sections. In addition, PlaceWorks will describe the state and local mandatory requirements for energy efficiency and demonstrate if the project will conflict with or obstruct any of these requirements. If the project conflicts with or obstruct any of the requirements, this section will provide recommended measures to mitigate identified impacts. g. Geology and Soils
The EIR will analyze the potential for implementation of the General Plan Update and draft HCP to result in significant direct and/or indirect environmental impacts as they relate to geology, soils, and seismicity. The regulatory fram ework will be evaluated; existing conditions will be researched and clearly described; relevant standards of significance will be established; and potential impacts will be identified and evaluated. In addition, updated General Plan policies that pertain to geology, soils, and seismicity will be reviewed.

A variety of information sources will be used to inform this section of the EIR. These sources may include geologic maps, investigations, and studies published by the California Geological Survey (CGS); California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services; U SDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly, the Soil Conservation Service); Northern California Earthquake Data Center; or U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). An experienced PlaceWorks associate geologist, professionally licensed in the State of California, will personally prepare this chapter of the EIR.

h. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
PlaceWorks will analyze the potential for implementation of the General Plan Update and draft HCP to result in significant direct and/or indirect environmental impacts as they relate hazards ah hazardous materials. The regulatory framework will be evaluated; existing conditions will be researched and clearly described; relevant standards of significance will be established; and potential impacts will be identified and evaluated. In addition, updated General Plan policies that pertain to hazards and hazardous materials will be reviewed.

The hazards and hazardous materials section will identify potential hazards (natural and man-made) in the City and policies in the General Plan Update that reduce these hazards for future development in accordance with the proposed General Plan Update. Impacts and appropriate mitigation measures or standard conditions will be included, as necessary. i. Hydrology and Water Quality
This section will build off of the existing conditions report in Task 3.1 and will include the regulatory framework, regional and site-specific hydrological setting of the area, stormwater drainage characteristics, water quality data (both surface and groundwater), local receiving water bodies, pollutants of concern based on changes in land use, and flooding hazards.

Pertinent local plans, laws, and regulations pertaining to hydrology and water quality will be identified, including Livermore’s Municipal Cod e Chapter 13.45, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control and Alameda County Clean Water Program’s C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance, and the requirements of the area -wide municipal stormwater urban runoff permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board -San Francisco Bay Region (Order No. R2 -2019-0004, NPDES Permit No. CAS612008).

The analysis will also include the hydrologic setting, regional and local drainage conditions, and issues pertaining to stormwater and flooding, creek protection, and FEMA floodplains. The EIR section will conclude with a discussion of the potential water impacts attributable to the proposed project, based on applicable significance criteria. It is assumed that the City and/or outside consultant will provide information regarding the storm drain system and any capacity constraints associated with future development and implementation of the draft HCP within the General Plan area. The analysis will be prepared under the direction of a Civil Engineer licensed in the State of California. j. Land Use and Planning
The land use and planning chapter will clearly describe if the proposed General Plan Update and draft HCP will physically divide any existing community within Livermore and the consistency between the proposed plans and existing plans, regulations, and local and regional laws adopted for the purpose of avoiding an environmental impact. k. Mineral Resources
PlaceWorks will work to gather an up- to-date list of all known mineral resources within the city by using City staff records and related documents. These known mineral sources will be compared to areas of the General Plan that may impact the integrity of these resources. This may include any proposed land use changes that would disturb or extract any mineral resources. In the event that a land use change is expected to disturb a mineral resource, mitigation measures will be included to reduce the effect.
i. Noise and Vibration
PlaceWorks will prepare a noise and vibration technical analyses to support the General Plan Update. The EIR will discuss relevant standards and criteria for noise exposure, including those in the Noise Element and in the Municipal Code. The noise analysis will include a field study and development of updated traffic and rail noise contours. The results of this analysis will be summarized in the EIR and modeling will be provided in an Appendix.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
110
The primary source of noise in the City is traffic on major arterials and highways, including I-580, SR-84, and local roadways.

PlaceWorks will identify major sources of noise in the City and document existing noise levels. PlaceWorks will conduct a noise measurement survey to acquire ambient noise level data. The ambient noise measurement survey will consist of up to 12 short-term (15-minute) locations and 5 long-term (48-hour) locations. These measurement locations will be selected by PlaceWorks, in coordination with City staff, and will take into consideration the major roadways, rail, as well as stationary sources of noise. The field data will provide baseline noise levels and will be used to supplement and validate noise modeling conducted for the EIR. Due to the COVID -19 pandemic, noise monitoring is dependent on this developing situation and its effect on traffic patterns. Depending on the schedule and the evolving pandemic situation, alternatives to noise monitoring may need to be considered to characterize the ambient noise environment such as traffic noise modeling. ii. Transportation Noise
PlaceWorks will model existing and 2045 traffic noise levels using a version of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Prediction Model. PlaceWorks will develop noise contours based on the existing traffic data and future forecasts. The EIR will identify areas along highway and roadway segments that would be exposed to noise levels above established criteria. Existing and future noise from rail operations will be characterized using the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) noise models and available passenger and freight operational data. Existing noise from aircraft overflights at the Livermore Municipal Airport will also be evaluated using available data. No detailed modeling of airport noise is proposed. iii. Stationary Noise
Noise impacts from non-transportation sources (e.g., equipment on agricultural lands, industrial uses, and mining) and will be evaluated on a programmatic level, qualitatively based on local noise standards. PlaceWorks will analyze noise impacts from non-transportation sources in terms of potential impacts to nearby noise-sensitive receptors and the noise limitations identified within the City’s Municipal Code and Noise Element. iv. Construction Noise and Vibration
PlaceWorks will provide a qualitative analysis for potential construction impacts associated with 2045 horizon development under the General Plan Update and draft HCP. Future noise and vibration effects from construction activities will be discussed in terms of accepted standards from the FTA. Feasible mitigation measures will be identified to minimize noise and vibration impacts associated with the Plans.
l. Population and Housing
The population and housing chapter is a critical element of the EIR that will provide support and justification for the amount of housing proposed in the General Plan Update, the main purpose of these plans being to facilitate a smart growth objective to reach population, housing, and employment goals. This chapter of the EIR will focus on ensuring that the housing and employment opportunities proposed in the plans will meet the goals set forth locally and regionally, as well as addressing future imbalances between the jobs and housing growth, commercial growth stimulating housing demand, and potential displacement.
m. Public Services and Recreation
PlaceWorks will use the existing conditions for public services collected under Task 3 .1 to complete an analysis of the city as-is and in the future, accounting for changes proposed by each plan. In addition, PlaceWorks will conduct interviews with public service providers, as needed. Any concerns expressed by service providers will be addressed and mitigated to the fullest extent possible. Secondary impacts associated with the construction of new public facilities will be addressed, with mitigating policies and programs being identified when needed.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
111
PlaceWorks staff will use City -collected parks and recreation data to determine the existing status and demand of parks.

Proposed population changes and housing distribution as part of the proposed plans will be compared to the existing conditions to determine if additional park facilities are needed. n. Transportation
PlaceWorks will incorporate the transportation stud y and existing conditions documented by Kittelson into the EIR.

PlaceWorks will ensure the data collected, and any changes to the transportation -related sections of the General Plan Update are adequate to address the transportation needs anticipated in the future. Thresholds of significance will be based on a VMT model as required by SB 743, ensuring there are several alternatives presented by the transportation consultant that will adequately represent th e dynamic needs of the Livermore transportation system. Kittelson will complete the following tasks to support this chapter:
i. Plan
The transportation evaluation of the preferred plan will include both CEQA and non-CEQA elements.

The CEQA evaluation will focus on items in the CEQA checklist including VMT. The updated travel model will be applied to evaluate VMT for the current General Plan and the preferred plan. The VMT metrics will consider total VMT as well as VMT per capita and per employee. The CEQA evaluation will also consider hazards and safety including bicycle and pedestrian travel, and conflicts with other regional plans and policies.

For the non-CEQA evaluation, the preferred land use and circulation plan will be evaluated in terms of the proposed policies and City standards of significance, which may include an LOS analysis. Traffic operations impacts will be evaluated using the intersection analysis tool. The evaluation will consider impacts on Alameda County Congestion Management Program (CMP) facilities and standards.
ii. Mitigation
Mitigation for any project or cumulative CEQA impacts will be proposed and reviewed with the city. Mitigation may include Transportation Demand Management elements. Physical improvements to address non-CEQA transportation issues will also be recommended.
iii. Draft Transportation Impact Analysis Report
The Draft Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) report will include the following elements:
 Description of the existing street system, including CMP routes  Existing (2021) traffic volumes and traffic operations  Description of existing transit system
 Description of existing bicycle and pedestrian conditions  Trip generation and distribution assumptions
 CEQA evaluation of VMT, hazards and policy conflicts
 Traffic volumes and operations for the proposed General Plan scenario for the horizon year at selected study intersections and road segments
 Impacts on CMP facilities
 Qualitative evaluation of two additional General Plan alternatives Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
112
 Transit evaluation
 Bicycle and pedestrian circulation
 Mitigation measures
o. Utilities and Service Systems
The utility and service systems section of the EIR will rely partially on reports and information provided by the City and/or its contracted outside engineering firm to determine existing conditions and potential capacity constraints for the water supply system, wastewater/sewer system, and storm drain system. The utilities and service systems section of the EIR will provide the regulatory setting and impacts associated with water supply and demand, wastewater infrastructure, stormwater drainage, and solid waste disposal. In addition, the impacts associated with electricity, natural gas, and communications systems will be included. Information will be incorporated from the latest (2020) Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) for California Water Service and Livermore Municipal Water, the City’s Water Master Plan, Sewer Master Plan and Sewer System Management Plan, Storm Drainage Facility Guidelines, the Livermore Water Reclamation Plant, and CalRecycle’s Solid Waste Information System.

The utilities section will include existing conditions for water, wastewater, storm drainage, and solid waste and will includ e water and wastewater demands for the proposed project as compared to existing supplies and sewer/wastewater treatment capacities. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) measures will be considered in determining the potential for additional stormwater with the proposed project. In addition, the capacity of the Republic/Vasco Road Landfill to accept solid waste and the State and local solid waste diversion programs will be considered in determining potential solid waste impacts.
i. Water Supply Assessment
PlaceWorks will prepare a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) that w ill be a stand-alone document appended to the EIR. The WSA will determine whether available water supplies are sufficient to serve the demand generated by the Project, as well as the reasonably foreseeable cumulative demand in the region over the next 20 years under average normal year, single dry year and multiple dry year conditions. Groundwater supply and demand, the use of recycled water, and water shortage contingency plans will also be incl uded. PlaceWorks will consult with the Zone 7 Water Agency to ensure our results are aligned with recent work by tis agency. The information from the WSA will also be summarized and included in the EIR. p. Wildfire
PlaceWorks will describe the existing setting of Livermore as it relates to the CEQA Guidelines for wildfire -related environmental impacts. The existing s etting will include a description of wildfire risks throughout the General Plan area, including any areas within the wildland -urban interface, and any areas within State Responsibility or Local Responsibility Areas as defined by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for fire hazard severity zones . The analysis will describe evacuation plans and procedures and any potential conflicts. Consistent with the courts, 2 the analysis will focus
on the project’s potential to exacerbate wildfire risks and hazards, for example, from land use changes or planned development within a very high fire hazard severity zone. 2 California Building Industry Association (CBIA) v. Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), 62 Cal. 4th 369 (No. S 213478) issued December 17, 2015.

8.6 Alternatives and CEQA-Required Findings
The PlaceWorks team will evaluate alternatives in the EIR that focus on citywide General Plan Update alternatives. A CEQA- required “No Project” alternative will be included, while other alternatives will be produced through the planning and environmental review process, ensuring discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of each proposed alternative. Additionally, each alternative will be consistent with the objectives of the proposed General Plan Update outlined in the project description.

The EIR will address the overall impacts and implications the projects may have on regional growth for Alameda County and the Bay Area as a whole. This analysis will consider the potential growth -inducing elements of each plan and appropriate conclusions will be prepared to fulfill CEQA requirements related to unavoidable significant impacts, significant irreversible changes, short and long-term productivity, and effects believed to be insignificant.

8.7 Administrative Draft EIR
An Administrative Draft EIR will be prepared and will include additional sections such as the Acronyms and Abbreviations, Persons Consulted, Technical Appendices, and a Table of Contents. The purpose of the Administrative Draft EIR is to give City staff a chance to review and comment and circulating the document to all relevant City departments. City planning staff will act as a clearinghouse for departmental comments and will provide PlaceWorks with one set of comments on the Administrative Draft EIR. As p art of our regularly scheduled biweekly meetings with City staff, PlaceWorks will meet with reviewers to discuss comments on the Administrative Draft EIR as needed.

8.8 Screencheck Draft EIR
Once staff comments have been received, PlaceWorks will revise the EIR to reflect comments and concerns expressed on the Administrative Draft EIR. PlaceWorks will incorporate one (1) consolidated set of comments on the ADEIR from City staff to create Screencheck Draft EIR as a second copy in which City staff will once again review and provide redlined comments and revise formatting. Comments on the Screencheck Draft EIR are assumed to be limited to grammatical, format, and typographical comments.

8.9 Public Draft EIR and Notices
Revisions to the Screencheck Draft EIR will be incorporated by PlaceWorks to prepare a Draft EIR to be circulated for public review and comment. PlaceWorks will provide City staff with a PDF version for easy access online.

PlaceWorks will prepare a Notice of Availability and complete the OPR Notice of Completion form, and submit online to the State Clearinghouse, which will begin the public review period.

During the CEQA-required 45-day public review period, key staff from the PlaceWorks team will attend a public hearing to gather comments on the Draft EIR and answer questions. PlaceWorks will prepare materials for the public hearings, including a brief presentation. PlaceWorks environmental staff will facilitate the portion of the meeting related to the EIR.

8.10 Administrative Final EIR
Following the mandatory CEQA 45 -day review period, the PlaceWorks team will prepare an Administrative Draft Final EIR.

We assume that City staff will forward all public comments within five (5) working days of the close of the public review period. Comments will be annotated and entered into a spreadsheet as they are received, and will be scanned and organized as they are received. PlaceWorks will prepare the responses to comments, collaborating with City staff, to ensure all public Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
114
comments are addressed, including comments from regulatory agencies regarding the HCP. The Final EIR will include a compilation of the public comments received and response to comments, as well as any clarifications or corrections to the Draft EIR, if required.

8.11 Screencheck Final EIR
PlaceWorks will incorporate one consolidated set of comments on the Administrative Draft Final EIR from City staff to create Screencheck Draft Final EIR. The Screencheck Draft Final EIR will include the response to comments, additional analysis, or revisions to the Draft EIR as necessary and the Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Program (MMRP) discussed below.

Comments on the Screencheck Draft Final EIR are assumed to be limited to grammatical, format, and typographical comments.

8.12 Public Final EIR
Following receipt of comments from the City on the Screencheck Draft Final EIR, PlaceWorks will prepare a public review draft of the Final EIR, which will incorporate the final comments from the City on the Screencheck Draft Final EIR.

8.13 Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Program
Concurrent with the preparation of the Final EIR, we will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Program (MMRP) for the mitigation measures included in the EIR. The MMRP, shown in tabular form, will identify responsibility for implementing and monitoring each mitigation measure, along with monitoring triggers and reporting frequencies. The MMRP will be submitted as a draft document to the City for review and comment, and then revised by PlaceWorks for publication with the Final EIR.

8.14 Findings of Fact
PlaceWorks will work with the City staff, including the City attorney, to prepare draft findings and resolutions to allow for certification of the EIR and adoption of the General Plan. These findings and resolutions will summarize any significant impacts of the General Plan Update, present mitigation measures required to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels, allow adoption of the MMRP, and include, if necessary, statements of overriding consideration. The findings and resolutions will be finalized by City staff.

8.15 Notice of Determination
Following the certification of the EIR and within five (5) days of approval of the General Plan Update PlaceWorks will prepare a Notice of Determination (NOD). City staff will submit the NOD to the County Clerk and pay all applicable filing fees at the time of posting. Note our budget does not include payment of any filing fees for the NOD.

Task 9. Adoption and Final Documents
In this task, PlaceWorks will shepherd the General Plan and EIR through the adoption and certification process and prepare final versions of the documents.

Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

9.1 Certification and Adoption Hearings
In these final hearings, the Planning Commission and City Council will review and adopt the Final General Plan and certify the EIR. PlaceWorks will attend up to two Planning Commission and three City Council hearings.

9.2 Final General Plan and Online General Plan
Once the Council adopts the General Plan, PlaceWorks will create a Final General Plan for distribution and archiving.

PlaceWorks will incorporate comments received during the review period based on City Council direction. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative, screencheck and final drafts of the Final General Plan.

As a companion to the hard copy General Plan document, PlaceWorks will create a configurable and interactive online General Plan. This web -based application will present the content of the General Plan through interactive text, maps, and graphics. At this time, PlaceWorks recommends using the City’s ArcGIS Online account to create the online General P lan so the City can maintain future updates.

Task 10. Ongoing Project Management
As part of this task, PlaceWorks will establish a regular communication protocol with City staff and prepare for and facilitate meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and other agencies.

10.1 TAC Coordination
The City will convene a Technical Advisory Committee comprised of a representative and an alternate from the following Departments:
 Community Development
 City Manager
 Administrative Services
 Economic Development
 Fire Department
 Library
 Police
 Public Works
 City Attorney's Office
 Partner Agencies like LARPD, School District, Zone 7, CalWater, and LAVTA TAC members will be asked to review and comment on work products and/or meeting materials as relevant to their area of expertise. The TAC will be asked to review documents for accuracy, ensure all relevant topics are covered, identify data holes, and provide data sources for missing information.

A representative from PlaceWorks will attend each TAC meeting. PlaceWorks will create the meeting agenda and prepare a summary of agreements and action items. City staff will be responsible for coordinating meeting invites and RSVPs, securing Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976

EXHIBIT A
116
room reservations (if needed), distributing materials to TAC members, and collecting and compiling TAC comments.

PlaceWorks and City staff will mostly hold meetings with subsets of the TAC, including individual departments, to review department-specific content. However, it is also possible the TAC will convene as a large group on occasion. This scope of work assumes PlaceWorks will facilitate and attend up to 15 TAC meetings.

10.2 Staff Meetings and Communication
PlaceWorks and City staff will hold regular, weekly check-in calls and meetings. Prior to each call, PlaceWorks will prepare an agenda and summarize agreements and action items after the call. PlaceWorks will document these agreements in writing to ensure we remain in close collaboration with City staff throughout the project. The City and PlaceWorks will also use the City’s General Plan Microsoft Teams channel, or similar program, to share, edit, and save files. This scope assumes roughly weekly calls with City staff, and quarterly in -person work sessions. It is assumed these meetings will be held via Zoom or similar conferencing platform.

The incorporation of the Draft HCP into the EIR will require additional meetings with the with the City and staff of ICF. Our scope of work includes up to 10 additional meetings over the course of the Draft and Final EIR.

10.4 Administrative Record
During the course of the General Plan Update and EIR, the PlaceWorks team will be mindful of record -keeping for the purpose of building the administrative record. At the completion of the project, PlaceWorks will compile all documents in the administrative record and electronically submit them to the City.

ASSUMPTIONS
This scope of work and cost estimate assumes that:

Billing rates for this project are guaranteed through December 2024. Billing rates would be subject to an increase of up to 6 percent on January 1, 2025, and in each subsequent year thereafter. A budget increase would be necessary to cover costs incurred after January 1, 2025.

PlaceWorks will send an invoice for work completed each month. The invoice will show hours worked by labor category, billing rate, and total by labor category plus subconsultants and reimbursable expenses. Special invoicing requirements may necessitate an additional fee.

Our cost estimate includes the meetings shown in the scope of work. Additional meetings would be billed on a time- and-materials basis. Each project meeting will last up to two hours. Each public workshop or public meeting will last up to two hours, plus an additional hour for setting up and taking down equipment.

No more than 40 hours of PlaceWorks staff time will be required to respond to comments on the Draft EIR. If additional labor is necessary, a contract amendment allowing additional work will be necessary.

City of Livermore staff will act as a clearinghouse for comments on all administrative draft documents, and will provide PlaceWorks with a single, internally reconciled set of comments on each administrative draft.

There will be a single round of intensive review and revision to each administrative draft product prior to the screencheck draft. If City of Livermore staff feels that a second administrative draft is needed, a contract amendment allowing additional work will be necessary.

Revisions to screencheck drafts will focus on typographical errors, formatting and other minor edits. Such revisions will not include content changes.

Multiple changes from the City of Livermore about how to proceed will require a contract amendment to allow completion of the additional work.

PlaceWorks will use ArcGIS version 10.x- compatible shapefiles and/or geodatabases from the City of Livermore for the development of the project’s base map and subsequent thematic maps. All files delivered by City of Livermore are assumed to be current, spatially accurate and aligned with one another, and referenced to a common coordinate system appropriate for the area. Each shapefile will arrive with the appropriate coordinate system definitions (i.e. .PRJ files); likewise, the coordinate system of geodatabases, if applicable, will contain proper coordinate system definitions. This scope assumes that City of Livermore’s existing GIS information, including attribute data, are essentially complete and

EXHIBIT A
Docusign Envelope ID: 45CA2BD2-338A-4BED-A39A-9AE94B786976 121
that any needed adjustments by PlaceWorks will be minor. A maximum of 16 hours will be allotted for data quality control procedures.

After creating the initial base map, PlaceWorks will provide a copy to City of Livermore for review and approval prior to use for subsequent mapping work. At the conclusion of the project, PlaceWorks will provide the City of Livermore all original GIS data as well as project-specific data layers modified or created by PlaceWorks along with pertinent metadata documentation.

PlaceWorks will use Microsoft Word and/or Adobe InDesign for page layout of reports, plans, and similar documents. Additional software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, ArcGIS and AutoCAD will be used to create illustrations, maps, diagrams and other graphics.

All products will be submitted to City of Livermore in electronic ( native files and PDF) format, except for:
 Printed materials for community events and workshops.  10 copies of final Housing Element
 10 copies of final General Plan
 10 copies of Draft EIR
 10 copies of Final EIR
The City of Livermore will provide electronic, editable copy of the following documents existing General Plan.

City of Livermore staff will be responsible for meeting logistics, including schedule co - ordination, document production, printing notices, mailing costs, room reservations, room set-up and take-down, and refreshments.

PlaceWorks will provide up to 3 facilitators for the public workshops. Additional facilitators will be drawn from City of Livermore staff. PlaceWorks will provide training for facilitators immediately before each workshop.

PlaceWorks will not be responsible for designing notices for public meetings.

TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution accepting annual special tax and bond accountability reports for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Community Facilities Districts No. 99-1 (Tri-Valley Technology Park), 2009-1 (El Charro), 2012-1 (El Charro Maintenance), 2015-1 (Brisa Maintenance), 2016-1 (Sage Maintenance), 2016-2 (Shea Properties), 2018-1 (Auburn Grove), and 2021-1 (Maintenance and Public Services).

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting annual special tax and bond accountability reports for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Community Facilities District No. 99-1 (Tri-Valley Technology Park), 2009-1 (El Charro), 2012-1 (El Charro Maintenance), 2015-1 (Brisa Maintenance), 2016-1 (Sage Maintenance), 2016-2 (Shea Properties), 2018-1 (Auburn Grove), and 2021-1 (Maintenance and Public Services).

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
The Local Agency Special Tax and Bond Accountability Act (SB 165) stipulates that a report be filed annually with the governing body of any agency imposing special taxes or issuing bonds subject to voter approval after January 1, 2001. The annual report is required to contain the amount of funds collected and expended as well as the status of any project required or authorized to be funded as identified in subdivision (a) of Section 53410. The annual report must be filed no later than December 31st. The City currently administers eight community facilities districts which are subject to these reporting requirements.

DISCUSSION
The Local Agency Special Tax Bond and Accountability Act is enacted by SB165 and codified in the California Government Code Sections 50075 through 50077 and 53410 through 53412. This Act 123
requires:
that any local special tax measure subject to voter approval contain a statement indicating the specific single purpose of the special tax;
that the proceeds of the special tax be applied to that purpose; the creation of an account into which the proceeds shall be deposited and an annual report containing the following information:
i. The amount of special taxes that have been collected and expended; ii. The status of any project required or authorized to be funded by the special taxes.

The Act imposes similar accountability requirements with respect to any local bond measure that is subject to voter approval that would provide for the sale of bonds by a local agency. These requirements only apply to local agencies that have imposed special taxes or issued bond measures subject to voter approval after January 1, 2001. The annual report must be filed no later than December 31st.

The City currently has the following eight community facilities districts which are subject to these reporting requirements:
1 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 99-1 (Tri-Valley Technology Park) (“CFD 99- 1”),
2 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2009-1 (El Charro) (“CFD 2009-1”), 3 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2012-1 (El Charro Maintenance) (“CFD 2012- 1”),
4 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Brisa Maintenance) (“CFD 2015-1”), 5 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Sage Maintenance) (“CFD 2016-1”), 6 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2016-2 (Shea Properties) (“CFD 2016-2”), 7 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (Auburn Grove) (“CFD 2018-1”), and 8 .

City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2021-1 (Maintenance and Public Services) (“CFD 2021-1”).

The CFD 99-1 was established pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the “Mello-Roos Act”), on January 10, 2000, and thereafter amended on March 13, 2000. On May 11, 2015, the City issued the bonds in the principal amount of $15,655,000 for and on behalf of the CFD 99-1 for the defeasance and refunding in full of an outstanding series of bonds previously issued in 2000 in order to take advantage of the low interest rate environment, which resulted in significant savings to the property owners located within CFD 99-1.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.10

DATE:

December
8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:

Resolution making findings regarding the continuing need for unexpended balances of Development Impact Fees as of June 30, 2025, and accepting the Annual Report of Development Fee and Connection Fee Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution making findings regarding the continuing need for unexpended balances of Development Impact Fees as of June 30, 2025 and accepting the Annual Report of Development Fee and Connection Fee Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
California Government Code § 66000-66013 specifies accountability and annual reporting requirements pertaining to development fees. According to statute, the report must be reviewed at a public meeting.

The report must include; (1) a description of the fee type in the account, (2) the amount of the fee, (3) beginning and ending balances, (4) fee and interest income, (5) expenditures by improvement, (6) the project cost funded by the fees, (7) loans or transfers, including purpose, interest rate, and term, and (8) any refunds. The report may make findings as necessary as to whether funds are available to complete projects.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code § 66000 (adopted as AB1600) discusses development fees, what they are, and how they are to be used. Development fees under AB1600 are not a tax or special assessment but a monetary exaction that is charged by a local agency to the applicant in connection with approval of a development project for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project. Specifically, under California Government Code § 66006, the local agency that 137
receives the fee must deposit it in a separate capital facilities account or fund in a manner to avoid commingling of the fees with other revenues. The fees must then be expended solely for the purpose for which they were collected. For each account established for the fees, the local agency must make available to the public a report with a brief description of the fee within the fund, the amount of the fee along with the beginning and ending balances, and the total amount of the fees collected along with the interest earned. For each public improvement, the report should include the total expenditures as well as the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the fees. If the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to fully fund a project, the report should identify an approximate date for commencing the project.

Government Code § 66013 requires a financial accounting of the transactions dealing with water and sewer capacity and connection fees and charges (development impact fees) shall be made available to the public and require a description of the charges/fees deposited in the fund, the beginning and ending balance of the fund and any interest earned from investment of moneys in the fund and the amount of charges/fees collected in the fiscal year.

The Mitigation Fee Act, commonly referred to as AB1600 and codified as California Government Code § 66000 et seq., regulates the imposition, collection, maintenance, expenditure, and reporting of impact fees imposed in connection with approval of a development project for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities related to that project.

The City of Livermore (“City” ) has identified the following nine (9) development impact fees collected from developers that are subject to AB1600’s requirements.

1. Fund 612 – Storm Drainage Fee

2. Fund 510 – Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)

3. Fund 511 – Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee – City Portion

4. Fund 290 – Housing and Human Services Facility Fee

5. Fund 512 – Park Fee

6. Fund 583 – Major Attraction Fee

7. Fund 642 – Recycled Water Fee

8. Fund 583 – Road Improvement Fee

9. Fund 200 – Low Income Housing and Housing Impact Fee

As required by the Mitigation Fee Act , the City has created separate special revenue funds for each type of fee, crediting earned interest to those funds, and spending the accumulated fees and related interest on appropriate expenditures for those facilities.

An annual report for FY 20 24-25 reflecting the beginning and ending balances of each separate fund containing development impact fees, the amount of fees collected, the interest earned for the year , the amount of expenditures and refunds made in the year, and a description of the type of fees, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The Mitigation Fee Act requires the City to make specific findings every five (5) years with respect to any portion of the fees remaining unexpended or uncommitted after a period of five (5) years after deposit to identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put; to demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged; to identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of the incomplete improvement for which the fee is charged ; and to designate the approximate date s on which the funding is expected to be deposited for the incomplete improvement.

City of Livermore
Annual Report of Development Fee and Connection Fee Revenues and Expenditures Fiscal Year 2024-25
The City of Livermore collects certain development fees, also known as impact fees, to be used for necessary public improvements resulting from private development projects. California Government Code §66000 (also referred to as “AB1600”) discusses development fees, what they are and how they are to be used. Development fees under AB1600 are not a tax or special assessment, but a monetary exacti on that is charged by a local agency to the applicant in connection with the approval of a development project for the purpose of defra ying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project.

AB1600 requires local agencies to make the following information available to the public for each separate development fee fund:
● A brief de
scription of the type of fee within the account or fund. ● The amount of the fee.
● The begin
ning and ending balance of the account or fund.
● The amount of the fee
s collected, and interest earned.
● Identification of each
public improvement on which the fees were expended and the amount of expenditures on each improvement, including the percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the fees. ●
Identifi
cation of an approximate date by which the construc tion of the public improvement will commence if the lo cal agency determines that sufficien
t funds have been collected to complete a public improvement project.

EXHIBIT A

● A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid an d the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan. ● The amount of refunds made due to sufficient funds being collected to complete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of funds made due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeding the amount to be refunded.

AB1600 requires the local agency make the following findings every fifth year with respect to that portion of the account remai ning unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
● Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be used,
● Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, ● Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing on incomplete improvements, and ● Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.

In any action imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project by a local agency, the local agency shall dete rmine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility of portion or the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

AB1600 requires local agencies that have developed a fee program to adopt a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) indicating the appro ximate location, size, and timing of projects plus an estimate of the costs for all facilities or improvements that are financed by these fees. The CIP budget is updated every two years to reflect the current infrastructure and equipment needs of the City.

Five-Year Revenue Test Findings:

Footnote # Fund 5-Year Test Result
1 612 - Storm Drainage Fee
This fund includes balances held beyond five years as described in AB1600. These funds are intended for a variety of Storm Drain upgrade projects required for increased flows due to new development. Storm Drainage Fee projects are identified in the Storm Drain Master Plan. Near term projects involve upsizing storm drain trash capture devices for increased flows from future development. Other storm drain work over the next five years involves correcting existing deficiencies and is not funded with Storm Drainage Fees. The Storm Drain master plan identifies over $14 Million in projects planned after 2030 that are required for increased flows from new development such as upsizing storm drains on Hollice, Cedar, Chardonnay, Alden, and First Streets. The Storm Drain Connection Fee Study calculates the required storm drain development fee to fund these future projects. 2 510 - Traffic Impact Fee
This fund includes balances held beyond five years as described in AB1600. These funds are intended for a variety of road improvement projects that are required to accommodate increased traffic from new development. These projects are identified in the Traffic Impact Fee Study and they are listed in the FY 2025-30 Capital Improvement Plan. Over the next five years, over $9 million in projects are anticipated and include Vasco Road Widening, design of the upsized Vasco Interchange, and Jack London Boulevard and Isabel Avenue Intersection improvements. Over $240 Million in capacity improvement projects planned after 2030 are listed as Out Year Projects in the FY 2025-30 Capital Improvement Plan and include improvements to the Vasco, First Street, and Isabel Interchanges along with various improvements to City streets including West Jack London Blvd, Greenville Road, North Livermore Ave, and Las Positas Road. Every two years the Capital Improvement Budget is reviewed and updated if necessary. 3 511 - Tri-Valley Transportation
Development Fee 20%
This fund includes balances held beyond five years as described in AB1600. 20% of the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fees collected can be used on City projects that are listed by the Tri Valley Transportation Committee as regional transportation projects such as interchange improvements, Vasco Road widening, North Canyons Parkway/Dublin Boulevard Connection, the Iron Horse Trail, and Valley Link. Currently over $17 Million is budgeted with 20% Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fees in the FY 2025-30 Capital Improvement Plan for the Vasco Interchange, North Canyons Parkway/Dublin Boulevard Connection, and Vasco Road Widening Projects.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.11

DATE:

December
8, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Benny Stuth, Airport Manager
SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing signing of an Estoppel Certificate and Agreement, Leasehold Addendum for Leasehold Financing, and Sub-Leasehold Addendum for financing for Five Rivers LLC, Fremont Bank, and other authorized lenders as applicable.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the Estoppel Certificate and Agreement, Leasehold Addendum for Leasehold Financing, and Sub-Leasehold Addendum for Financing, with Five Rivers Aviation, LLC, Fremont Bank, and any other lenders for Small Business Association Loan TMC to restructure current financing and secure more favorable financing terms.

DECISION TYPE
Administrative

SUMMARY
Five Rivers Aviation LLC (Lessee), a fixed base operator providing pilot support services, facilities, and fueling at the Livermore Airport, has requested the City of Livermore (City) give approval to refinance construction loans originally used to develop its facilities under a 2013 ground lease with the City of Livermore.

The proposed refinancing, to be facilitated through Fremont Bank and supported by a Small Business Administration TMC Loan, will allow the Lessee to secure more favorable loan terms. This refinancing will not alter the City’s existing lease terms or financial obligations but will help ensure continued financial stability and quality of services at the airport.

City Council approval is required because the improvements are located on City-leased property, and lender agreements must include City consent under the lease provisions.

DISCUSSION
162
In 2013, the City entered into a long-term ground lease with the Lessee for the construction and operation of a Fixed Base Operation (FBO) at Livermore Airport. The FBO provides essential services to airport users, primarily aircraft fueling, hangar facilities, flight planning and meeting spaces, and other support operations for both business and private aviation.

The Lessee completed construction of its facilities under the terms of that lease and financed these improvements through loans underwritten by Fremont Bank. Five Rivers has now requested City approval to restructure and refinance those existing construction loans to obtain better loan terms through a Small Business Administration TMC Loan.

Because the improvements are located on City-leased land, the consent of the City is required to finalize the refinancing. In response, the City has requested additional protections as part of its consent to the refinancing. These include extending the lender’s notification period from thirty (30) to sixty (60) days in the event of a default by the Master Lessee and allowing the City to assume daily operations of the FBO if necessary to maintain uninterrupted service for airport users. These conditions are inclusive of all other prior conditions and agreements established with the Master Lessor.

These measures ensure the City’s interests are protected and that the airport continues to operate safely and efficiently for the public, even in the unlikely event of a borrower default.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF AN ESTOPPEL

CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT, LEASEHOLD ADDENDUM FOR

LEASEHOLD FINANCING, AND SUB-LEASEHOLD ADDENDUM FOR

FINANCING FOR FIVE RIVERS AVIATION, LLC, FREMONT BANK,

AND ANY OTHER AUTHORIZED LENDERS

Five Rivers Aviation LLC (“Lessee”) has approached the City of Livermore, Livermore Airport (“City”) with a request to restructure and refinance construction loans taken out on behalf of Lessee to construct improvements as approved through the Fixed Base Operator Ground Lease Agreement dated December 3, 2013, and amended on February 9, 2015, and again on May 12, 2015.

The purpose of the restructuring and refinancing is for Lessee to obtain more favorable financing terms through a Small Business Administration TMC Loan underwritten by Fremont Bank. In response and exchange for its consent, the City has requested additional terms and conditions be added to some of the forms proposed by Lessee. These additional conditions include expanded notification requirements to sixty (60) days in the event of a default by Lessee whereby the lienholder, Fremont Bank would be assigned the Master Lease . Upon notification of default by Fremont Bank, the City would be allowed to assume operations of the Fixed Base Operation to ensure continuity of service to the Airport until a suitable operator can be found in replacement.

Approval of this restructuring and refinancing of Lessee’s loans is beneficial for the City in furthering its goal of continuing with the development, operation and maintenance of the City’s infrastructure.

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

1. Authorizes the City Manager to sign, on behalf of the City, the Estoppel Certificate and Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Leasehold Addendum for Leasehold Financing, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the Subleasehold Addendum for Financing, attached hereto as Exhibit C, with Five Rivers Aviation, LLC, Fremont Bank, and any other lenders for a Small Business Association Loan TMC, to restructure current financing, and secure more favorable financing terms associated with the Ground Lease Agreement between the City and Lessee.
