CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.13
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristen Hilton, Acting Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Monarch Technologies, Inc for business license and tobacco retail license services in an amount not to exceed $460,000, plus up to $1,000,000 for all accounts in the aggregate for discovery and audit services.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Monarch Technologies, Inc (Monarch) for business license and tobacco retail license services in an amount not-to-exceed $460,000 for administration services and up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all accounts for discovery and audit services, limited to $250,000 per account, for a term of three years with two one-year renewal options.
SUMMARY
The City outsourced business license and tobacco retail license administration beginning in 2020. This agreement will allow the City to continue to outsource those services to Monarch Technologies, Inc for a term of three years.
DISCUSSION
The business license and tobacco retail license programs are an important customer service touch point with the City's business community and yield vital information and revenues. Business license tax provides roughly $10 million of General Fund revenue annually. The tobacco retail license program encourages responsible tobacco retailing and discourages violations of tobacco related laws, especially those that prohibit sale of tobacco products to minors. Monarch is anticipated to (1) improve customer service through use of the latest technologies and best practices, (2) increase revenues through business-friendly education and compliance practices, and (3) reduce the cost of business license administration due to economies of scale.
The business license and tobacco retail license services that Monarch provides fall into two categories.
The first category is administration services. Services in this category include new account, renewal, and payment processing. Businesses have access to Monarch license specialists via phone, email, mail, and 223
an online business support center. Licenses are valid for one calendar year, requiring a compact threemonth annual renewal process. Currently, the cyclical nature of the renewal process makes staffing difficult and negatively impacts customer service. Monarch’s business support center is staffed with multiple license specialists who will be able to absorb this peak renewal period while continuing to provide high quality customer service. This category of work will cost $15,000 for a one-time registration portal setup fee, and annual platform maintenance fee of $5,000, plus $15 per new registration or renewal account, subject to an annual hard cap of $145,000 per contract year, regardless of volume.
There is an option for two 1-year renewals with an annual price increase of 5% at the beginning of each term.
The second service category is discovery and audit services which will provide an opportunity to increase license revenue. Discovery services are designed to identify entities subject to licensure/taxation that are not currently registered or otherwise non-compliant. Audit services are designed to identify businesses that are registered but not properly reporting or paying the correct amounts. Monarch’s service is designed to increase revenues and compliance while maintaining a business-friendly education focused approach. The cost for discovery and audit services is 35% of any revenue received by City because of discovery and audit services until the Consultant has been paid $250,000 per account and $1,000,000 for all accounts in the aggregate. These services require written authorization from the Administrative Services Director prior to being initiated for any particular account in order for Monarch to be entitled to payment for these services to ensure City oversight of any discovery or audit services.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The proposed not-to-exceed contract amount over a three-year term for license administration services is $460,000 and represents the fee of $15 per account. This cost accounts for the current level of approximately 8,000 licenses plus new licenses anticipated to be generated. License administration services provided include database management, business support center and processing of renewals, new accounts, and payments. Since the fee is based on the number of licenses processed each month, expenditures will rise/fall in line with revenues providing better matching of license revenue and expenditures by period throughout the fiscal year.
The proposed annual administration services cost of $145,000 is offset by savings of in-house expenditures including wages/benefits, software, postage and supplies. Monarch provides database management so maintenance of license software will not be a City responsibility. In addition, the discovery and audit services will provide an opportunity for increased revenue. This service is on a contingency fee basis with a cap of $250,000 per account and $1,000,000 for all accounts in the aggregate.

DISCOVERY AND AUDIT SERVICES, WITH A TERM OF THREE
YEARS
The Finance Division for the City of Livermore requires a consultant to provide certain business license and tobacco retail license services to the City of Livermore (“City”). The City’s business license and tobacco retail license programs are an important customer service touch point with the City’s business community and yield vital information and significant revenue.

The term of the proposed agreement is three years, with two, one year renewal options.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore, that it:
1. Authorizes the City Manager, or her designee, to execute a professional services agreement with Monarch Technologies, Inc, attached hereto as Exhibit A, for business license and tobacco retail license services, in an amount not-to-exceed $460,000 for administration services,$250,000 per account, and $1,000,000 for all accounts in the aggregate, for discovery and audit services, for a term of three years with two, one year renewal options.
2. Authorizes the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including approving minor changes to the proposed agreement.

or otherwise acceptable to City, City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, and designated volunteers (collectively “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services, or in connection with Consultant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except for such Liability caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Consultant’s obligations to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend shall not be excused because of Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that Consultant is not liable to the claimant. These obligations are independent of, and shall not in any way be limited by, the minimum insurance obligations contained in this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement. Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by City.
(a) Modification for Construction Contracts. To the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” covered by California Civil Code section 2782, then Consultant’s duty to indemnify shall not apply in a manner prohibited by California Civil Code section 2782.
(b) Modification for Design Professional Services. To the extent this Agreement is for “design professional services” defined in California Civil Code section 2782.8, then Consultant’s duties to defend and indemnify shall only apply to the extent provided for in California Civil Code section 2782.8(a), unless section 2782.8(a) is not applicable for one of the reasons set forth in 2782.8(e)
12. Insurance. Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of the Indemnified Parties, Consultant shall procure and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement policies of insurance in the amounts and under the terms set forth in Exhibit C Insurance Requirements against claims and Liability that may arise from or in connection with this Agreement and performance of the Services. Upon reasonable written notice, Consultant shall comply with any changes in the amounts and terms of insurance as may be required from time-to-time by City’s Risk Manager.
13. Force Majeure; Service Delays. Should Consultant’s performance of the Services be obstructed or delayed due to changes in the Services by City, by any default, act, or omission of City, or by strikes, fire, earthquake, or any other Act of God, or by the inability to obtain goods, materials, equipment, or labor due to federal government restrictions arising out of defense or war programs, then Consultant’s time for performance may, at City’s sole discretion, be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by City and Consultant. Nothing in this section restricts City’s authority in Section 6 to terminate this Agreement.
14. Acceptance of Final Payment. Consultant’s acceptance of final payment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.

15. Acceptance of Work. City’s acceptance of, or payment to Consultant for, the Services does not release Consultant from its responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or competency of the Services, nor do the actions constitute an assumption of Consultant’s responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services.
16. Conflict of Interest. Consultant represents that no City employee or official has a financial interest in Consultant. Consultant shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Consultant’s business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement. If any of the Services are paid by reimbursement from an agreement between City and a private party, Consultant represents that it has not performed any work for that private party during the twelve-month period prior to the execution of this Agreement, and that it shall not negotiate, offer, or accept any contract for services from that party during the term of this Agreement.
17. Economic Disclosure. Consultant shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code implementing the California Political Reform Act, and shall prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the Services involve making, or participation in making, governmental decisions or financial decisions by City that may have a material effect on Consultant’s financial interests as determined by the City Attorney’s Office.
While it is Consultant’s sole responsibility to evaluate its conflicts of interest, Consultant nevertheless agrees to prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if requested by City.
18. Levine Act Compliance. California Government Code section 84308 (Levine Act) prohibits City officers from participating in any action related to a contract, license, permit, or entitlement if the officer receives political contributions from a party, or participant, or agent thereof, that totals more than $500 within the twelve months preceding the decision or within the twelve months following the date of the final decision.
Consultant shall review and complete as necessary the City’s California Levine Act Disclosure Statement that can be obtained from the City Clerk.
19. Use of Recycled Products. If fitness and quality are equal, then Consultant shall utilize recycled products consistent with the City’s Environmentally Preferrable Purchasing and Practices Policy, and as defined in California Public Contract Code Section 12200 for the Services, instead of nonrecycled products whenever recycled products are available at the same or a lesser cost than nonrecycled items. Information on recycled materials can be found here:

21. Business Entity Status. Consultant is responsible for filing all required documents and forms with the California Secretary of State and meeting all requirements of the Franchise Tax Board, as well as the California Business and Professions Code and any other state statute, to the extent such requirements apply to Consultant to provide the Services. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant represents that it is: authorized to do business in California; in good standing with the California Secretary of State; and, in good standing with all agencies having jurisdiction over Consultant, including any licensing agencies. If Consultant is a suspended entity at the time it enters into this Agreement, City may take steps to void this Agreement.
22. Authority to Execute Agreement. Consultant has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution of this Agreement, and expressly represents that the person signing this Agreement on behalf of Consultant has received and accepted the authority to sign and execute this Agreement on behalf of Consultant. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Consultant, enforceable against Consultant in accordance with its terms, which authorization is ratified and confirmed upon Consultant’s acceptance of the first compensation payment by City.
23. No Subcontracting and No Assignment. Consultant’s unique personal competence, experience, specialized personal knowledge, and professional reputation were a substantial inducement to City for the award of this Agreement to Consultant, therefore no part of the Services may be assigned or subcontracted without City’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this section, a change of fifty percent or more in the ownership or control of Consultant constitutes an assignment.
24. Remedies. All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, Consultant must present a written claim to City in accordance with Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 3.40 Claims Administration.
25. Work Eligibility. Consultant warrants that only personnel authorized to work in the United States pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and other applicable laws shall be provided by Consultant for the performance of the Services.
26. Non-Discrimination. In performance of the Services, Consultant agrees that it will not engage in discrimination in employment of persons because of such person’s race, color, religion, sex/gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, medical condition, military or veteran status, national origin, ancestry, disability, genetic information, age, or any protected classification when providing the Services. Consultant further agrees to comply with all provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in all programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Consultant further assures that it will take necessary actions to ensure compliance with these requirements in the performance of this Agreement.

Consultant shall provide Discovery and Audit Services to City. “Discovery Services” refers to Consultant’s efforts to discover existing businesses that have been operating within City limits without (a) a business license and/or tobacco retail license; and (b) paying business license taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes. “Audit Services” refers to Consultant’s efforts to identify existing registered taxpayers that are underpaying the business license taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes owed under the Municipal Code.
Discovery and Audit Services supplement—rather than replace—City’s existing tax compliance operations. These services identify entities subject to City taxation and/or registration requirements that have not properly registered or are not remitting required taxes and fees. Audit Services help City optimize local tax revenue collection through systematic examination of taxpayer records and direct engagement with local businesses.

x Review applicable ordinances, resolutions, regulations, and administrative policies governing City’s business license and tobacco retail license programs. x Review business licensing requirements and tax registration records. x Analyze City-provided registration, filing, payment, and compliance data. x Review third-party data provided or authorized by City. x Recommend audit targets based on available data using anomaly detection, trend analysis, and cross-period comparison techniques to identify inconsistencies or potential underreporting, and apply structured gross receipts validation and reconciliation methodologies to compare locally reported figures with available state-level indicators where appropriate.
x Identification of unregistered or under-reported operators is dependent upon data access and cooperation provided or authorized by City. Consultant does not represent or warrant independent identification of unlicensed or illegal operators absent such authorization or data.
2.2 Discovery & Audit Execution
x Construct a thorough inventory of all entities subject to City taxation, with database fields sufficient for comparative analysis against City’s registrant records. x Cross-reference Consultant’s commercial database against City’s records to surface potential non-reporters and unregistered taxable entities.

x Engage cooperatively with taxpayers to secure correct registration, return filings, and payments. Accounts that do not resolve through cooperative engagement may be escalated to audit or referred to a third-party collection service as appropriate. o An account means a business entity which has registered on Consultant’s online portal. Each account is associated with a single business entity and a single taxpayer number.
x Collect identified deficiency amounts with supporting documentation and remit collected funds to City in accordance with the agreed workplan. Consultant will follow City’s business rules regarding partial payment acceptance or full-balance collection.
x Staff a call center during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. PST) to respond to taxpayer inquiries regarding tax applicability, reporting obligations, and remittance procedures.
x Conduct taxpayer education to promote understanding of City’s reporting requirements and reduce the likelihood of future non-compliance. x Provide periodic updates summarizing non-compliant operators, registrations, audit progress, key findings, and relevant insights.
Consultant shall conduct all audits in a professional and non-adversarial manner consistent with City policies and applicable law. Final assessments, billing, and enforcement actions remain the sole responsibility of City.
2.3 Discovery & Audit Deliverables

B. Compensation for Discovery and Audit Services.
1. Discovery Services. When Consultant discovers an existing business that has been operating within City limits without (a) a business license and/or tobacco retail license; and (b) paying business license taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes, City shall pay Consultant 35% percent of the delinquent tax revenue the City actually receives as a result of Consultant’s discovery of such delinquent taxpayer for the tax year in which Consultant discovers the delinquent taxpayer and the three prior tax years (if applicable) up to a maximum of $250,000 for each account. (For example, if the delinquent discovered taxpayer owed $10,000 in the prior tax year and paid $0, Consultants fee would be $3,500 [.35*$10,000].) Consultant shall not be entitled to a contingency fee for Discovery Services on accounts discovered (i.e., identified as existing businesses not paying business license taxes and/or tobacco retail taxes) by City.
However, if Consultant subsequently audits the tax payments of an account discovered by the City and correctly determines that the taxpayer paid less than the total business license taxes and/or tobacco retail taxes due under the Municipal Code, Consultant shall be entitled to an Audit contingency fee on such deficiency as provided in Section I(B)(2) (Audit Services) below.
An “account” means a business entity which has registered on Consultant’s online portal. Each account is associated with a single business entity and a single taxpayer number.
2. Audit Services. When Consultant (a) audits the records of an existing registered taxpayer that is paying business licenses taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes; and (b) correctly determines that such taxpayer is paying or has paid less than the total business license taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes due under the Municipal Code, City shall pay Consultant a contingency fee equal to 35% of the additional funds the City actually receives for the tax year in which Consultant discovers the underpayment and the three prior tax years (if applicable) as a result of Consultant’s audit services for the tax years in which Consultant determines the taxpayer underpaid its taxes. (For example, if the audited taxpayer paid $10,000 in business license taxes for the prior tax year, Consultant determines (and the City confirms) that the taxpayer owed $20,000 in business license taxes for the prior tax year, and the taxpayer subsequently pays the additional $10,000 owed, Consultant’s fee would be 35% of the additional $10,000 actually received by the City as a result of Consultant’s Audit Services).
3. Contingency Fee Applies Only to Revenue Actually Received as Result of Discovery and Audit Services. Consultant shall be entitled to no contingency fee for Discovery Services or Audit Services on delinquent business license taxes and/or tobacco retail license taxes that are not actually received by the City. Consultant’s contingency fee shall not apply to any penalties or interest that the City, in its sole discretion, elects to waive or that is otherwise not actually received by the City. However, Consultant shall be entitled to a contingency fee on any penalties and/or interest that the City actually receives as a result of Consultant’s Discovery Services or Audit Services.
4. Contingency Services Cap. As provided in Section 7(a) of the Agreement and this Exhibit B, Section I(B), during the Term and any Extension Period(s) the total compensation payable by City to Consultant for Discovery Services and Audit Services SHALL NOT EXCEED the sum of $250,000 per account and $1,000,000 for all accounts in the aggregate.
Should Consultant reach the per-account or aggregate Contingency Services Cap prior to the expiration of the Term for Discovery Services and/or Audit Services initiated pursuant to Section "!
#
EXHIBIT A
246
4935-9745-0947 v3 Page 4 of 4
I(B)(5) of this Exhibit B, Consultant shall nevertheless continue to provide such services to the City for all accounts for the entire duration of the Term and shall receive no additional compensation in excess of the Contingency Services Cap for such services.
5. City Oversight. Consultant shall not (a) initiate contact with any business that it believes to be operating within the City without the requisite business license or tobacco license for the purpose of providing Discovery Services; or (b) initiate or perform an audit on any existing or potential accounts for the purpose of providing Audit Services, until Consultant has obtained written approval by City’s Administrative Services Director, or his or her designee, to initiate and/or perform such services with respect to any taxpayer. Upon request, Consultant shall provide City all correspondence with any taxpayer for which Consultant claims compensation for Discovery Services and/or Audit Services. Consultant shall bear the burden of establishing that Consultant’s Discovery Services resulted in the discovery of a delinquent taxpayer and that therefore Consultant is entitled to a contingency fee for Discovery Services. Consultant shall not be entitled to any compensation for Discovery Services and/or Audit Services initiated by Consultant without prior written approval by the City’s Administrative Services Director.
6. Extension Periods. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Contingency Services Cap shall apply in the Extension Periods, if any.
II. Invoices
Invoices shall:
1. Reference the Agreement number (if applicable)
2. Identify the task(s) performed as outlined in Exhibit A
3. Include a description of work completed during the billing period
4. Itemize labor hours, rates, and reimbursable expenses (if applicable)

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.14
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing a five-year Professional Services Agreement with CBRE, Inc. for on-call real estate and economic development consulting services, in an amount not to exceed $500,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a fiveyear Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with CBRE, Inc. for on-call real estate and economic development consulting services in an amount not to exceed $500,000.
SUMMARY
The proposed Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with CBRE, Inc. will provide on-call real estate and economic development consulting services to support the development and implementation of operational and strategic initiatives, respond to City Council direction consistent with the City's Strategic Plan and General Plan, support business attraction activities, and enhance Livermore's economic vitality and fiscal sustainability. Professional services under this Agreement include brokerage services, real estate and economic assessment, peer review of real estate analysis, fiscal and economic impact analysis, opportunity site development, data and coordination, and other as needed real estate and economic development advisory services. The five-year contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 with services through September 14, 2031. The Agreement is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has no significant fiscal or administrative impacts, and supports Strategic Plan goals that call for a diverse local economy.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Innovation and Economic Development Department requires a real estate and economic development consultant to support the development and implementation of operational and strategic initiatives, respond to City Council direction consistent with the City's Strategic Plan and General Plan, support business attraction activities, provide brokerage services, and enhance Livermore's economic vitality and long-term fiscal sustainability (Services). 250
On April 24, 2026, staff issued a public Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Services and received submissions from 11 firms. A selection committee comprised of City staff reviewed all proposals. The top five firms were invited to participate in interviews. Proposals were evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Firm Qualifications and Relevant Experience
2. Technical Approach to Required Services and Deliverables
3. Key Personnel and Team Structure
4. Responsiveness, Clarity, and Overall Quality of Proposal
5. Cost Proposal
Following evaluation of the written proposals and the interview performance, CBRE, Inc. was identified as the top-ranked firm.
CBRE, Inc.
CBRE, Inc. (Consultant or Firm) is a global publicly traded commercial real estate firm founded in 1906 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with more than 500 offices worldwide. Its Oakland and Walnut Creek offices represent a strong regional presence in the East Bay. The Consultant demonstrated substantial expertise, strong subject-matter knowledge, and clearly defined internal processes for coordinating work. The Consultant team also offers significant real estate and brokerage capacity, including 15 local brokers active in the Livermore market, 69 local transactions since 2020, and regional leadership based in Walnut Creek. The Consultant offers strong economic consulting services as well, including in-house economic reporting and forecasting for the region and for asset classes of interest such as advanced manufacturing, distinguishing themselves from other firms. Additionally, the Consultant provides robust marketing and communications services through extensive in-house graphic design and marketing resources–an advantage not offered at the same scale by other candidates. Their ability to support projects comprehensively from initial analysis through implementation is a significant strength. The Firm's experience and familiarity with local development conditions, range of available brokerage and economic development services, and demonstrated ability to generate accurate cost estimates contributed to its selection.
Agreement Services
The Agreement will enhance the City's ability to respond to time-sensitive and highly competitive opportunities. Services to be provided include:

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Approval of this Agreement for consulting and brokerage services is not a project under CEQA Section 21065.

Any future development project that results from Consultant Services will be required to undergo appropriate environmental review in conjunction with a land use entitlement.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There are no substantial fiscal or administrative impacts. The Agreement specifies the $500,000 amount is a not to exceed amount, which means the City is not obligated to expend Agreement funds if no Consultant projects are required. The Agreement funds will be drawn from the General Fund (Fund 001).
The Innovation & Economic Development Department's budget includes sufficient annual appropriations for consultant services to accommodate the Agreement amount. In addition, the Consultant services could result in additional revenues to the City by means of catalyst site development and additional tax revenue; increased or new rent revenue on City-owned parcels; and higher-value new businesses through business attraction.

EXHIBIT A
259
9. Intellectual Property, Copyright, and Right of Use. All items created by Consultant for City under this Agreement are works made for hire, and Consultant shall give City the copyright and all intellectual property rights to all items developed, prepared, and delivered as part of the Services. Consultant agrees that all aspects of the Services and items created thereby will be original works of creation and will not use, in whole or in part, any work created by any other party, except when expressly disclosed by Consultant to City and Consultant obtains a license to such items for the benefit of City.
All licenses must be perpetual, world-wide, non-exclusive, and royalty free sufficient in scope to permit City’s full use and enjoyment of its ownership rights in the items created by the Services.
10. Confidentiality. Consultant shall not disclose any confidential or proprietary information received from City to anyone except Consultant’s personnel who require access to the information to perform the Services. This obligation shall survive termination and remain in full force and effect until the information, and any copies thereof, are returned to City or confirmed destroyed in a manner satisfactory to City.
11. Defense, Indemnity, and Hold Harmless. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend with counsel selected by or otherwise acceptable to City, City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, and designated volunteers (collectively “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services, or in connection with Consultant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except for such Liability caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Consultant’s obligations to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend shall not be excused because of Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that Consultant is not liable to the claimant. These obligations are independent of, and shall not in any way be limited by, the minimum insurance obligations contained in this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement. Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by City.
(a) Modification for Construction Contracts. To the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” covered by California Civil Code section 2782, then Consultant’s duty to indemnify shall not apply in a manner prohibited by California Civil Code section 2782.
(b) Modification for Design Professional Services. To the extent this Agreement is for “design professional services” defined in California Civil Code section 2782.8, then Consultant’s duties to defend and indemnify shall only apply to the extent provided for in California Civil Code section 2782.8(a), unless section 2782.8(a) is not applicable for one of the reasons set forth in 2782.8(e)
12. Insurance. Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of the Indemnified Parties, Consultant shall procure and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Docusign Envelope ID: CDA7CF19-E8B1-8917-8043-12EDF87800CA
EXHIBIT A
260
Agreement policies of insurance in the amounts and under the terms set forth in Exhibit C Insurance Requirements against claims and Liability that may arise from or in connection with this Agreement and performance of the Services. Upon reasonable written notice, Consultant shall comply with any changes in the amounts and terms of insurance as may be required from time-to-time by City’s Risk Manager.
13. Force Majeure; Service Delays. Should Consultant’s performance of the Services be obstructed or delayed due to changes in the Services by City, by any default, act, or omission of City, or by strikes, fire, earthquake, or any other Act of God, or by the inability to obtain goods, materials, equipment, or labor due to federal government restrictions arising out of defense or war programs, then Consultant’s time for performance may, at City’s sole discretion, be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by City and Consultant. Nothing in this section restricts City’s authority in Section 6 to terminate this Agreement.
14. Acceptance of Final Payment. Consultant’s acceptance of final payment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.
15. Acceptance of Work. City’s acceptance of, or payment to Consultant for, the Services does not release Consultant from its responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or competency of the Services, nor do the actions constitute an assumption of Consultant’s responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services.
16. Conflict of Interest. Consultant represents that no City employee or official has a financial interest in Consultant. Consultant shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Consultant's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement. If any of the Services are paid by reimbursement from an agreement between City and a private party, Consultant represents that it has not performed any work for that private party during the twelve-month period prior to the execution of this Agreement, and that it shall not negotiate, offer, or accept any contract for services from that party during the term of this Agreement.
17. Economic Disclosure. Consultant shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code implementing the California Political Reform Act, and shall prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the Services involve making, or participation in making, governmental decisions or financial decisions by City that may have a material effect on Consultant’s financial interests as determined by the City Attorney’s Office.
While it is Consultant’s sole responsibility to evaluate its conflicts of interest, Consultant nevertheless agrees to prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if requested by City.
18. Levine Act Compliance. California Government Code section 84308 (Levine Act) prohibits City officers from participating in any action related to a contract, license, permit, or entitlement if the officer receives political contributions from a party, or participant, or agent thereof, that totals more than $500 within the twelve months Docusign Envelope ID: CDA7CF19-E8B1-8917-8043-12EDF87800CA
EXHIBIT A
261
preceding the decision or within the twelve months following the date of the final decision.
Consultant shall review and complete as necessary the City’s California Levine Act Disclosure Statement that can be obtained from the City Clerk.
19. Use of Recycled Products. If fitness and quality are equal, then Consultant shall utilize recycled products consistent with the City’s Environmentally Preferrable Purchasing and Practices Policy, and as defined in California Public Contract Code Section 12200 for the Services, instead of nonrecycled products whenever recycled products are available at the same or a lesser cost than nonrecycled items. Information on recycled materials can be found here:
• Sustainable Purchasing | StopWaste - Home, Work, School • Reducing Waste at Work | StopWaste - Home, Work, School • Recommendations of Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing | US EPA
20. Non-Exclusive Agreement. City intends to work with and utilize Consultant for the Services described in Exhibit A Scope of Work.. However, City reserves the right to provide, and to retain other qualified consultants to provide services that are the same or similar to the Services.
21. Business Entity Status. Consultant is responsible for filling all required documents and forms with the California Secretary of State and meeting all requirements of the Franchise Tax Board, as well as the California Business and Professions Code and any other state statute, to the extent such requirements apply to Consultant to provide the Services. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant represents that it is: authorized to do business in California; in good standing with the California Secretary of State; and, in good standing with all agencies having jurisdiction over Consultant, including any licensing agencies. If Consultant is a suspended entity at the time it enters into this Agreement, City may take steps to void this Agreement.
22. Authority to Execute Agreement. Consultant has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution of this Agreement, and expressly represents that the person signing this Agreement on behalf of Consultant has received and accepted the authority to sign and execute this Agreement on behalf of Consultant. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Consultant, enforceable against Consultant in accordance with its terms, which authorization is ratified and confirmed upon Consultant’s acceptance of the first compensation payment by City.
23. No Subcontracting and No Assignment. Consultant’s unique personal competence, experience, specialized personal knowledge, and professional reputation were a substantial inducement to City for the award of this Agreement to Consultant, therefore no part of the Services may be assigned or subcontracted without City’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this section, a change of fifty percent or more in the ownership or control of Consultant constitutes an assignment.
24. Remedies. All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right Docusign Envelope ID: CDA7CF19-E8B1-8917-8043-12EDF87800CA
EXHIBIT A
262
or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, Consultant must present a written claim to City in accordance with Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 3.40 Claims Administration.
25. Work Eligibility. Consultant warrants that only personnel authorized to work in the United States pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and other applicable laws shall be provided by Consultant for the performance of the Services.
26. Non-Discrimination. In performance of the Services, Consultant agrees that it will not engage in discrimination in employment of persons because of such person’s race, color, religion, sex/gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, medical condition, military or veteran status, national origin, ancestry, disability, genetic information, age, or any protected classification when providing the Services. Consultant further agrees to comply with all provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in all programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Consultant further assures that it will take necessary actions to ensure compliance with these requirements in the performance of this Agreement.
27. Construction of Language.
(a) The terms and conditions in this Agreement have been arrived at through negotiation and each party had a full and fair opportunity to review and revise this Agreement with legal counsel. Any ambiguity in this Agreement will not be resolved against either party as the drafting party. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict between the language in the body of the Agreement and any exhibit hereto, the language in the body of the Agreement controls.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “writing” and “written” includes electronic documents and communication via email, but not when those terms are used in Sections 6, 12, 23, and Sections 27 through 30 for notices, consent, or modifications. For the notices, consent, and modifications in Sections 6, 12, 23, and Sections 27 through 30, the terms “writing” and “written” means either a physically tangible document or an electronic document that satisfies the requirements in Livermore Municipal Code Section 2.64 Electronic Signatures.
28. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to the Services.
Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. In the event the original of this Agreement is lost or destroyed, an archival copy maintained by City can be used in place of the original for all purposes with the same effect as if it was the original.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.15
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of a first amendment to the lease with the United States of America for the Livermore Municipal Airport Air Traffic Control Tower site to extend the term through September 30, 2045, update the description of the leased premises, and make other minor modifications.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the execution of a first amendment to the lease with the United States of America for the Livermore Municipal Airport Air Traffic Control Tower site to extend the term through September 30, 2045, update the description of the leased premises, and make other minor modifications;
2. Directing the recording of the first amendment or, alternatively, authorizing the execution and recording of a memorandum of lease; and
3. Authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to take all actions necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution, including making non-substantive changes to the first amendment to facilitate recording.
SUMMARY
The United States Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) leases land at the Livermore Municipal Airport (Airport) for an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). Staff recommends the City Council authorize an amendment to the existing site lease, extending the term through September 30, 2045. The proposed amendment updates the legal description and map of the ATCT site, revises the FAA's notice address, incorporates required telecommunications compliance clauses pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 889, and formalizes continued access rights associated with City of Livermore (City)-owned equipment located within the fenced ATCT area.
Approval of this amendment would maintain uninterrupted FAA tower operations and ensure continued federal investment in the Airport's air traffic control infrastructure.
DISCUSSION
The Airport hosts an FAA Air Traffic Control Tower operating under a long-standing ground lease 276
between the City and the FAA. The FAA requires use of its standardized amendment template for ATCT properties nationwide, and it has prepared a Lease Amendment that updates several components of the agreement and formally extends the lease term through September 30, 2045. Key amendments include:
Updated Legal Description & Exhibits: The amendment replaces the existing premises description with an updated legal description and map, clarifying the exact boundaries of the ATCT site.
Term Extension: The lease term is formally extended through September 30, 2045.
Updated Notice Address: The FAA's notice address is updated to its Real Estate & Utilities office in Des Moines, WA.
Addition of NDAA Section 889 Clauses: The amendment incorporates mandatory federal clauses regarding covered telecommunications and video surveillance equipment, requiring representations from the City as the Lessor. For purposes of NDAA Section 889, the term “surveillance equipment” refers to certain telecommunications and video equipment manufactured or provided by specifically identified companies that the federal government has determined present potential national security risks. The term refers to the source and manufacturer of the equipment, and the City confirms in the lease amendment that such equipment is not used by the City of Livermore, including the Livermore Municipal Airport.
City Access to Emergency Generator: The amendment acknowledges that the City-owned emergency generator located within the fenced ATCT site will continue to be accessible to the City via a gate code provided by the FAA.
Execution of this amendment ensures compliance with federal requirements, maintains operational continuity, and supports aviation safety at the Livermore Municipal Airport.
FISCAL & ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There is no fiscal impact associated with the lease amendment. The agreement simply extends the existing ATCT site lease term and updates standard federal clauses. No changes are made to financial obligations, rent, or cost-sharing between the City and the FAA. Administrative impacts are minimal. Staff will continue to coordinate with FAA Real Estate & Utilities staff as needed and ensure compliance with notice procedures and telecommunications representations.

SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance approving Development Agreement (DA) 24-004 with Adventus for the Las Colinas Road Property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt an Ordinance approving Development Agreement 24-004 to establish a framework and secure vested rights for a future residential project on approximately 50 developable acres within a 122-acre property at 3658 Las Colinas Road (Assessor Parcel Number 902-8-1).

SUMMARY
The Ordinance for DA 24-004 has been revised to reflect the City Council’s direction when it voted to introduce the Ordinance to expand upon the language encouraging future developer engagement with relevant labor organizations and related workforce considerations. Section 5 in Attachment 1 has been revised in part as follows, with strikethroughs reflecting deleted language and underlines reflecting added language:
"The City Council recommends any future developer of the Las Colinas Road Property engage with relevant labor organizations, as appropriate, in connection with the planning, construction, and facilitation of site development. encourages any future developer of the Las Colinas Road Property to engage with relevant labor organizations during project planning and construction to promote construction workforce outcomes that may include, but are not limited to, local hiring, the use of State of California-approved apprenticeship programs, payment of area standard wages, and access to employer-supported healthcare benefits, consistent with the City's economic development policies, which support local hiring, workforce investment, high-wage employment, jobs and housing balance, and economic vitality."

1 ORDINANCE NO.
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH
ADVENTUS FOR THE LAS COLINAS ROAD PROPERTY
(Development Agreement 24-004)
California Government Code Section 65864 (implemented by Livermore Development Code Chapter 9.04) allows local jurisdictions and private parties to enter into Development Agreements in order to vest certain development rights and to meet local public purpose objectives.
On December 9, 2024, Adventus, as the Property Owner of a 122‑acre parcel located at 3658 Las Colinas Road (Assessor Parcel Number 902‑8‑1) (“Property”), submitted an application for Development Agreement 24‑004 (“Agreement”) to establish a framework and secure vested rights for future residential uses on a defined portion of the Property consistent with the General Plan 2045 land use designations (“Project”). The Agreement does not propose or authorize a specific development project or physical development; future development will require subsequent discretionary approvals.
On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing staff to negotiate the Agreement concurrently with the General Plan 2045 update to ensure that the Agreement would function as an implementing mechanism of the General Plan 2045 and to secure benefits for the community.
Following this direction, City staff and Adventus negotiated the Agreement, attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement does not propose or authorize a specific development project or physical development; rather, it establishes procedures and vested rights for future residential development on approximately 50 developable acres of the 122‑acre Property, allowing between 605–900 dwelling units with related park, open space, circulation, and infrastructure improvements. The Agreement includes the Property's legal description, a conceptual site plan, and infrastructure exhibits that illustrate the Property's development potential, but do not authorize physical development or establish final design. The remaining acreage is not authorized for residential use and may be improved or preserved as authorized by this Agreement, the General Plan, and subsequent discretionary approvals, including adoption of a Neighborhood Plan and Planned Development zoning, subject to all applicable review and approval processes.
On July 7, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Agreement, staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings, and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 16-26, attached hereto as Exhibit A, recommending the City Council approve the Agreement.
On July 27, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Agreement, Planning Commission and staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings.

1 ORDINANCE NO. ___
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 08-002 WITH MCGRATH RENTCORP
(Development Agreement Amendment 26-002)
In 2021, the City Council directed City staff to begin preparing a comprehensive update to Livermore’s 2003 General Plan. The updated General Plan is known as General Plan 2045.
General Plan 2045 identifies several Focus Areas where future land use changes are anticipated, including the Midtown Specific Plan Area (“Midtown”), which is envisioned as a future mixed-use area that balances housing, commercial, office, and industrial uses and would be implemented through a future specific plan following adoption of General Plan 2045.
McGrath RentCorp (“McGrath” or the “Property Owner”) is the largest single property owner within Midtown. McGrath owns approximately 130 acres generally located between Southfront Road and Las Positas Road and operates a mobile modular commercial-industrial business on the property.
The 130-acre project site is made up of numerous parcels located at 5605 and 5327 Southfront Road and 5700, 5699 and 5698 Las Positas Road with the following APNs: 99-40-72, 99-40-73, 99-40-74, 99-40-75, 99-40-76, 99-40-77, 99-40-78, 99-40,79 and 99-40-80.
McGrath and the City are parties to Development Agreement 08-002, originally approved in 2008 (“Original Agreement”), which vested McGrath’s commercial and industrial land use rights through 2029 in exchange for dedication of Bay Area Rapid Transit right-of-way. The Original Agreement did not approve a specific development project; instead, it vested the commercial and industrial land uses in effect at the time of adoption, with future development projects remaining subject to applicable permits, entitlements, and approvals.
From 2021 to 2022, City staff conducted outreach to property owners within Midtown, consistent with the City’s standard practice when considering land use changes in a defined planning area.
Through those discussions, McGrath and the City did not reach agreement regarding inclusion of the McGrath property in Midtown, the appropriate future mix of uses and residential densities, or an approach that addressed both the City’s long-term planning objectives and the Property Owner’s interests. McGrath subsequently submitted written correspondence to the City Council expressing opposition to the Midtown plan. 328
2 ORDINANCE NO. ___
On February 24, 2025, the City Council directed City staff to work with McGrath, seek a compromise, and return with a solution that would advance the goals of both parties.
Following that direction, City staff negotiated with McGrath regarding a proposed amendment to the Original Agreement. McGrath has agreed to the proposed terms of the First Amendment to Development Agreement 08-002 (“Amended Agreement” or “Project”). The Amended Agreement is attached as Exhibit B.
The proposed Amended Agreement would establish a framework for future planning and development of the McGrath property in relation to Midtown; allow McGrath’s existing industrial use to continue; clarify that future development projects remain subject to applicable design review, entitlement, environmental review, and other regulatory requirements; secure McGrath’s support for future residential planning on the property; require conveyance of the northern approximately 40 acres to a high-value commercial user, subject to City approval; extend the Development Agreement term through 2059; and adjust the Development Agreement boundary to remove the northern commercial parcel and add property under McGrath ownership south of Las Positas Road.
The proposed Amended Agreement is related to a proposed General Plan 2045 land use map change that would retain the southern approximately 90 acres of the McGrath property within Midtown and designate the northern approximately 40-acre parcel as Service Commercial to support the contemplated conveyance to a high-value commercial user and facilitate establishment of a commercial employment center adjacent to Midtown.
The City received an application from McGrath to amend Development Agreement 08-002 (DAA 26-002) in accordance with Livermore Development Code Chapter 9.04.
California Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5, as implemented by Livermore Development Code Chapter 9.04, authorize local agencies and private property owners to enter into development agreements to vest certain development rights and achieve local public purpose objectives.
On July 7, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Amended Agreement, the CEQA determination, staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings, and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 18-26, attached hereto as Exhibit A, recommending the City Council approve the Amended Agreement. The Planning Commission additionally adopted Resolution No. 17-26 recommending the City Council find the Amended Agreement exempt from CEQA.
On July 27, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Amended Agreement, Planning Commission and staff recommendations, all public comments and testimony, and findings.
329
3 ORDINANCE NO. ___

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65864 et seq., the City Council considers that certain document under City Application No. Development Agreement Amendment 26-002 and entitled “The First Amendment to Development Agreement 08-002 (DAA 26-002) with McGrath RentCorp” (“Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Section 2. Record Evidence. Prior to taking action on the Project, and at a properly noticed public hearing, the City Council of the City of Livermore reviewed written and oral staff reports, conducted a public hearing on the Project and took testimony; and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project (collectively, the “Record Evidence”). The City Council’s determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.19
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristen Hilton, Acting Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with ROK Technologies, LLC for managed cloud services supporting AWS-hosted ArcGIS Enterprise environment and related software services for three years in an amount not-to-exceed $245,304.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with ROK Technologies, LLC to provide managed cloud services for the City's AWS-hosted ArcGIS Enterprise environment and related services in an amount not-to-exceed $245,304 for a period of three years.
SUMMARY
The proposed agreement with ROK Technologies, LLC provides managed Amazon Web Services ("AWS") within the City's Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") Enterprise environment. AWS is a secure and scalable cloud platform used to host and run the City's GIS infrastructure, which stores critical spatial data to create dashboards and tools for city planning and capital improvement projects.
Under the agreement, ROK will deliver comprehensive system administration, including software upgrades, security patching, database maintenance, virtual desktop support, infrastructure monitoring, and incident response. The contract term is three years, from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with a not-to-exceed amount of $245,304. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION
The City's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) environment was previously hosted on an aging onpremises server infrastructure that experienced frequent instability and system crashes. Public-facing GIS sites and internal applications routinely failed, interrupting access to critical spatial data used by multiple City departments. Because the City did not have in-house expertise in GIS infrastructure, cloud architecture, or ArcGIS Enterprise administration, staff were unable to diagnose or resolve these outages. This resulted in extended periods of downtime and significant disruption to City operations.
To maintain basic functionality, the City depended on legacy consultants; however, their long turnaround 351
times often delayed resolution of urgent issues. As a result, staff could not perform core GIS duties efficiently or, in certain cases, at all. Persistent instability in the GIS environment created operational inefficiencies, limited the City's ability to support department workflows, and impeded delivery of reliable, data-driven services.
ROK Technologies has demonstrated reliable service delivery, improved system uptime, and provided specialized technical expertise. The City has maintained a contract with ROK Technologies for the past two years, and staff is now recommending entering into a three-year agreement to continue their managed services and support through August 31st, 2029.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The agreement for professional services between the City of Livermore and ROK Technologies, LLC includes a not-to-exceed amount of $245,304 for a period of three years. All costs associated with the proposed contract are included in the current Information Technology Division’s budget.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN
AGREEMENT WITH ROK TECHNOLOGIES, LLC FOR MANAGED
CLOUD SERVICES SUPPORTING AMAZON WEB SERVICES (“AWS”)
HOSTED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (“GIS”)
ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT AND RELATED SOFTWARE SERVICES
IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $245,304 FOR A PERIOD OF
THREE YEARS
The City’s old on-premises GIS system was unreliable, poorly documented, and lacked technical support, causing frequent outages and prolonged downtime. City Staff did not have the expertise to diagnose or resolve these issues, causing major disruptions to various departments like Community Development, Public Safety, and customer-facing operations, and leading to widespread frustration with unstable services and inconsistent data publishing.
To resolve longstanding reliability and support challenges, ROK Technologies, LLC has transitioned the City’s GIS operations into a modern, professionally managed cloud environment over the past two years, delivering a sustainable, stable, and service-ready GIS infrastructure on an annual basis.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.20
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Benny Stuth, Airport Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to execute a Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) accepting $729,660 to update the Airport Layout Plan with Narrative Report and appropriate the necessary funds to complete the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to accept and execute the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement No. 3-06-0123-036-2026 and accept $729,660 in grant funds;
2. Appropriate $729,660 in FAA grant funds to Capital Improvement Project AR202720 for the Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report;
3. Appropriate $76,806 from the Livermore Municipal Airport Enterprise Fund to Capital Improvement Project AR202720 to satisfy the required local match and provide for additional funding for project budget flexibility;
4. Authorize the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including making minor changes to the grant funding documents.
SUMMARY
The Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report, Airport Geographic Information System (AGIS) Obstruction Survey, and supporting environmental baseline studies will provide the planning, mapping, engineering, and environmental foundation necessary to guide future airport development, maintain compliance with FAA planning requirements, and support future FAA-funded capital improvement projects.
Approval of this item will authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement No. 3-06-0123-036-2026 and accept the $729,660 FAA grant award.
DISCUSSION
Airport Infrastructure Grant Program and Airport Layout Plan 373
The Livermore Municipal Airport (Airport) is a public-use airport owned and operated by the City of Livermore (the Airport Sponsor). The City undertakes routine capital infrastructure and planning projects to maintain the Airport and keep it operational. The FAA provides grant monies to eligible airports for infrastructure and planning projects through the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program.
The FAA requires Airport Sponsors to maintain a current Airport Layout Plan (ALP) as the official planning document identifying existing airport facilities, potential future development sites, land use, and airspace considerations. The Airport’s current FAA-approved ALP was completed in 2014 and needs to be updated to reflect existing conditions, current FAA design standards, projected aviation demand, and planned land use. As part of the update process, the project also includes an AGIS Obstruction Survey and supporting environmental baseline studies.
Selection and Grant Requirements
Airport capital projects are identified and prioritized annually through the FAA’s Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP), which must be approved by the FAA before becoming eligible for AIG funding. On May 28, 2026, the FAA notified the City that funding for the ALP Update with Narrative Report could be available during the current funding cycle if a complete grant application was submitted by July 20, 2026.
The City submitted its grant application and, following review of the application, the FAA selected the ALP Update with Narrative Report for a $729,660 grant award, representing ninety-five percent (95%) of eligible project costs. On September 4, 2026, the FAA transmitted Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement No. 3-06-0123-036-2026 to the City.
In order to receive the grant funds, the City must:
1. Program the project into the local Capital Improvement Plan (CIP);
2. Provide the required local funds match;
3. Enter into a Grant Agreement by the acceptance deadline established by the FAA, as authorized by the local legislative body; and,
4. Agree to the applicable FAA Grant Assurances.
On July 27, 2026, the City Council approved the addition of the ALP Update with Narrative Report to the City’s Five-Year CIP under Capital Improvement Project AR202720, which also included another project, the Electric Master Utility Plan. Subsequent to that Council action and submission of the original grant application, the FAA requested that the projects identified in Capital Improvement Project AR202720 be separated into two distinct grant applications and grant awards: one for the ALP Update with Narrative Report, including the AGIS Obstruction Survey and environmental baseline studies, and a second for the Electric Master Utility Plan. The FAA did not require the City to similarly separate the locally approved Capital Improvement Project. Accordingly, both FAA grant awards will remain under Capital Improvement Project AR202720, with separate sub-fund codes established to independently track revenues and expenditures associated with each grant.
The Grant Agreement must be signed by September 16, 2026, to remain eligible for funding. Failure to accept and execute the FAA Grant Agreement will delay the project until the next federal funding cycle, resulting in an approximate one-year delay to the ALP Update. Such a delay would postpone future FAA374 funded capital improvement projects that depend on completion of these planning efforts and could impact the Airport’s overall capital improvement schedule.
The City Attorney’s Office and Administrative Services Department have reviewed FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement No. 3-06-0123-036-2026.
Next Steps
Following City Council approval of the grant resolution, the City Manager, or designee, would execute the Grant Agreement and accept the $729,660 grant award.
The remaining $76,806, comprised of the local grant match and additional project funding for flexibility, will be funded through the Livermore Municipal Airport Enterprise Fund. This funding opportunity will enable the Airport to leverage available federal AIG funds while completing the Airport’s primary planning effort for the next decade.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
The acceptance of FAA grant funds and appropriation of those funds to prepare the Airport Layout Plan Update does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. The appropriation of funds for preparation of the Airport Layout Plan Update does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. Therefore, no environmental review under CEQA is required.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the project, AR202720, is anticipated to consist of FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) funds and Airport Enterprise Funds. As shown in the table below, the total project budget is $806,466 with $76,806 in Airport Enterprise Funds (Fund 600) and $729,660 in Federal Grant Funds (Fund 601).
The required local match is $38,403. The proposed Airport Enterprise Fund appropriation includes an additional $38,403 above the minimum required local match to provide budget flexibility during project implementation, if needed.

AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AND TECHNICAL STUDIES
Project No.: AR202720
COMMUNITY PILLAR: A City That Works
Project Description:
O&M COST ASSUMPTIONS: There will
be no additional O&M costs for this
project.
FUNDING: A F.A.A. grant will cover the
majority of the project with matching
from a state grant and the Airport
Operating Fund.
This project includes a series of planning and technical studies to help the airport understand its operational and infrastructure needs over the next 10 years while positioning it for future development opportunities. Work on this project will include:
Airport Layout Plan (ALP): The ALP update will inventory existing airport conditions and prepare 20-year aviation demand forecasts for aircraft operations, based aircraft, and the airport’s critical design aircraft. It will evaluate airfield and landside facility needs, develop alternatives to satisfy future development potential including an airport development concept and recommend capital improvement projects with cost estimates. It will also include preparing an ALP drawing set and coordinating with the FAA’s San Francisco Airports District Office for review and approval. An FAA approved ALP will support future grant funding opportunities.
Obstruction Survey (AGIS): This survey will collect on-airport mapping and surrounding area data to support development of the ALP drawing set helping to protect arrivals and departures at the airport.
Electric Master Utility Plan (EMUP): The EMUP will assess the airport’s existing electrical infrastructure, project future demand based on development considerations and operational changes, and identify improvements needed to meet a future demand scenario. The plan will provide a 10-year strategy that identifies necessary utility improvements, when they should occur, and how they might be funded. It will include an opportunity and risk assessment, and recommend capital improvement projects which will help the airport remain ahead of demand while it positions itself to capitalize on opportunities.
Environmental baseline surveys: Surveys will be conducted for biological resources including federally and statelisted threatened and endangered species, designated critical habitat, jurisdictional waters, and other sensitive resources. Survey’s will also be conducted for cultural resources, including the built environment.
GOAL: 14: Develop, operate, and
maintain the City’s infrastructure.

Project Justification:
The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Update with Narrative Report will provide a comprehensive planning study of the Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) that meets prescribed criteria set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA recommends that airports update their planning documents every 7-10 years, or as demand dictates, to ensure plans are up-to-date and reflect current conditions, FAA regulations, and consider future activities and operations that could take place. The last FAA-prescribed planning study for LVK is over 10 years old, which was an ALP Update and Narrative Report completed in 2014. The current study will be funded through the FAA’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG), which provides 95% of the total project cost.

6. Completing the Project Without Delay and in Conformance with Requirements. The sponsor must carry out and complete the project without undue delay, and in accordance with this agreement, 49 USC Chapters 471 and 475, IIJA (P.L. 117-58) (as appropriate), and the regulations, policies, and procedures of the Secretary. Per 2 CFR § 200.308, the sponsor agrees to report and request prior FAA approval for any disengagement from performing the project that exceeds three months, or a 25 percent reduction in time devoted to the project. The report must include a reason for the project stoppage. The sponsor also agrees to comply with the grant assurances, which are part of this agreement.
7. Amendments or Withdrawals before Grant Acceptance. The FAA reserves the right to amend or withdraw this offer at any time prior to its acceptance by the sponsor.
8. Offer Expiration Date. This offer will expire and the United States will not be obligated to pay any part of the costs of the project(s) unless this offer has been accepted by the sponsor on or before September 16, 2026, or such subsequent date as may be prescribed in writing by the FAA.

The sponsor must take all steps, including litigation, if necessary, to recover federal funds spent fraudulently, wastefully, or in violation of federal antitrust statutes, or misused in any other manner for any project upon which federal funds have been expended. For the purposes of this grant agreement, the term “federal funds” means funds however used or dispersed by the sponsor, that were originally paid pursuant to this or any other federal grant agreement. The sponsor must obtain the approval of the Secretary as to any determination of the amount of the federal share of such funds.

This requires that the sponsor review and update the information at least annually after the initial registration and more frequently if required by changes in information or another award term. Additional information about registration procedures may be found at the SAM website (currently at http://www.sam.gov). b. Unique entity identifier (UEI) means a 12-character alpha-numeric value used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or governmental entity. A UEI may be obtained from SAM.gov at https://sam.gov/content/entity-registration. 12. Electronic Grant Payment(s). Unless otherwise directed by the FAA, the sponsor must make each payment request under this agreement electronically via the Delphi eInvoicing System for Department of Transportation (DOT) Financial Assistance Awardees.
13. Informal Letter Amendment of Projects. If, during the life of the project, the FAA determines that the maximum grant obligation of the United States exceeds the expected needs of the sponsor by $25,000 or five percent, whichever is greater, the FAA can issue a letter amendment to the sponsor unilaterally reducing the maximum obligation.
The FAA can also issue a letter to the sponsor increasing the maximum obligation if there is an overrun in the total actual eligible and allowable project costs to cover the amount of the overrun, provided it will not exceed the statutory limitations for grant amendments. The FAA’s authority to increase the maximum obligation does not apply to the “planning” component of Condition No. 1, Maximum Obligation.
The FAA can also issue an informal letter amendment that modifies the grant description to correct administrative errors or to delete work items if the FAA finds it advantageous, and in the best interests of the United States.
An informal letter amendment has the same force and effect as a formal grant amendment.
14. Environmental Standards. The sponsor is required to comply with all applicable environmental standards, as further defined in the Grant Assurances, for all projects in this grant. If the sponsor fails to comply with this requirement, the FAA may suspend, cancel, or terminate this Grant Agreement.

The FAA is not responsible for the same federal share provided herein for any amount increased over the initial grant amount. The FAA may adjust the federal share as applicable through an informal letter of amendment.

EXHIBIT A
455
3-06-0123-036-2026
Airport Sponsors Assurances Page 10 of 19
interfere with such operation and maintenance. Further, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the maintenance, repair, restoration, or replacement of any structure or facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God or other condition or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor. b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items that it owns or controls upon which federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.
It will take appropriate action to ensure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum flight altitudes) will be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport. b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to:
1. Furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users thereof, and
2. Charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service, provided that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers. c. Each fixed-based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed-based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities. d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed-based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport. e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non-tenant, or subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers
EXHIBIT A
456
3-06-0123-036-2026
Airport Sponsors Assurances Page 11 of 19
which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as tenants or non-tenants and signatory carriers and non-signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be met by all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed-based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part of the federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for
EXHIBIT A
457
3-06-0123-036-2026
Airport Sponsors Assurances Page 12 of 19
which a grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1. If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
2. If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor’s acquisition of land, this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land acquisition on or after October 1, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at 49 USC § 47102), if the FAA determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Section 813 of Public Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in accordance with the provisions of 49 USC § 47107.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 6.21
DATE: September 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Benny Stuth, Airport Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) accepting $301,550 to update the Electric Master Utility Plan (Utility Plan) and appropriate the necessary funds to complete the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to accept and execute the FAA Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement, in substantial conformance with the sample grant agreement;
2. Appropriate $301,550 in FAA grant funds to Capital Improvement Project AR202720 for the Electric Master Utility Plan;
3. Appropriate $30,874 from the Livermore Municipal Airport Enterprise Fund to Capital Improvement Project AR202720 to satisfy the required local match and provide for additional project budget flexibility; and,
4. Authorizes the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution, including making minor changes to the grant funding documents.
SUMMARY
The Livermore Municipal Airport (Airport) is a public-use airport owned and operated by the City of Livermore (the Airport Sponsor). The City of Livermore undertakes routine capital infrastructure and planning projects to maintain the airport and keep it operational, and the FAA regularly provides grant monies to local airports for such infrastructure and planning projects. Completing the Utility Plan will assist the Airport in understanding its electrical needs for the next 10 years by assessing the Airport's existing electrical infrastructure, projecting future demand based on a series of potential development considerations and operational conditions, and identifying what improvements may be needed. The FAA has awarded the City $301,550 to complete the Utility Plan, but requires the City to enter into a Grant Agreement and provide matching funds. Staff proposes to meet the matching requirement through Airport Enterprise Fund appropriations. The FAA grant would cover 95% of Utility Plan costs, while local match would cover five percent plus additional funding if necessary to complete the project. If the grant is 467
accepted by the anticipated September 15 deadline, the City will remain eligible to receive the awarded funds. The Grant Agreement is not a project under CEQA, would not cause any significant fiscal or administrative impacts.
DISCUSSION
Airport Infrastructure Grant Program and Utility Plan
The Livermore Municipal Airport is a public-use airport owned and operated by the City of Livermore (the Airport Sponsor). The City of Livermore undertakes routine capital infrastructure and planning projects to maintain the Airport and plan for future development. The FAA provides grant monies to eligible airports for infrastructure and planning projects through the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program.
The Utility Plan will assess the Airport's existing electrical infrastructure and project future electrical demand over the next 10 years based on a series of potential development considerations and operational conditions. The project will identify improvements necessary to meet anticipated future demand and develop a 10-year strategy identifying what electrical utility improvements may be needed, when they should occur, and how they might be funded.
The Utility Plan will include coordination with the City of Livermore, Airport users and tenants, the electric utility, parties that have expressed interest in making improvements or developing at the Airport, and the surrounding community. The project will consider the Airport's grant obligations, existing FAA investments and assets on Airport property, FAA design standards, relevant FAA orders and policy, and land use compatibility guidance associated with planning for infrastructure improvements.
Selection and Grant Requirements
Airport capital projects are identified and prioritized annually through the FAA's Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) process and must be approved by the FAA before becoming eligible for AIG funding. On May 28, 2026, the FAA notified the City that funding for the Utility Plan could be available during the current funding cycle if a complete grant application was submitted by July 20, 2026.
Due to the limited application window, staff expedited preparation and submittal of the grant application to preserve the City's opportunity to receive federal funding.
The City submitted its grant application on July 20, 2026. Following review of the application, the FAA notified the City that the project had been selected for a $301,550 grant award, representing ninety-five percent (95%) of eligible project costs. In order to receive the grant funds, the City must:
1. Program the project into the local Capital Improvement Plan (CIP);
2. Provide the required local funds match;
3. Enter into a Grant Agreement by the acceptance deadline established by the FAA, as authorized by the local legislative body; and,
4. Agree to the applicable FAA Grant Assurances.
On July 27, 2026, the City Council approved the addition of the Utility Plan to the City's Five-Year CIP under Capital Improvement Project AR202720, which also included a separate project, the Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report. Subsequent to that Council action and submission of the original 468
grant application, the FAA requested that the projects identified in Capital Improvement Project AR202720 be separated into two distinct grant applications and grant awards: one for the Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report, including the AGIS Obstruction Survey and environmental baseline studies, and a second for the Utility Plan. The FAA did not require the City to similarly separate the locally approved Capital Improvement Project. Accordingly, both FAA grant awards will remain under Capital Improvement Project AR202720, with separate sub-fund codes established to independently track revenues and expenditures associated with each grant.
The Grant Agreement must be signed by the acceptance deadline specified by the FAA to remain eligible for funding. Based on information provided by the FAA, the acceptance deadline is anticipated to be prior to the end of the federal fiscal year, September 30, 2026. Failure to accept and execute the FAA grant award on time will delay the project until the next federal funding cycle, resulting in an approximate one-year delay to the Utility Plan. Such a delay would postpone the electrical infrastructure planning necessary to support future Airport improvements and could impact the Airport's overall capital improvement schedule.
Next Steps
The City has not yet received the Grant Agreement, and, based on correspondence with the FAA, staff believes the Grant Agreement may not be received until several days before the submission deadline. To prepare for this, Airport staff has provided a sample Grant Agreement (Exhibit A to the Resolution) for advance review of the FAA's standard grant language. FAA grant awards are issued using the FAA's standard Grant Agreement and are not subject to negotiation or modification by the City, so the sample agreement serves as a useful proxy for the final agreement. Should the Grant Agreement be transmitted in time, it will be added as supplemental material.
Upon receipt, Airport staff will provide the Grant Agreement to the City Attorney's Office and the Administrative Services Department for legal and financial review. Following completion of the legal and financial review and City Council approval of the grant resolution, the City Manager, or designee, would execute the Grant Agreement.
The required local match and additional project funding will be provided through the Livermore Municipal Airport Enterprise Fund. This funding opportunity will enable the Livermore Municipal Airport to utilize available federal AIG funds while completing necessary electric utility planning.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The acceptance of FAA grant funds and appropriation of those funds to prepare the Utility Plan does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. The appropriation of funds for preparation of the Utility Plan does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. Therefore, no environmental review under CEQA is required.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the project is anticipated to consist of FAA AIG funds and Airport Enterprise Funds. As shown in the table below, total project costs are estimated to be $332,424 with $30,874 in Airport Enterprise Funds (Fund 600) and $301,550 in Federal Grant Funds (Fund 601). The proposed Airport 469
Enterprise Fund appropriation includes an additional $15,003 above the minimum required local match to provide for project budget flexibility during project implementation, if needed.

AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AND TECHNICAL STUDIES
Project No.: AR202720
COMMUNITY PILLAR: A City That Works
Project Description:
O&M COST ASSUMPTIONS: There will
be no additional O&M costs for this
project.
FUNDING: A F.A.A. grant will cover the
majority of the project with matching
from a state grant and the Airport
Operating Fund.
This project includes a series of planning and technical studies to help the airport understand its operational and infrastructure needs over the next 10 years while positioning it for future development opportunities. Work on this project will include:
Airport Layout Plan (ALP): The ALP update will inventory existing airport conditions and prepare 20-year aviation demand forecasts for aircraft operations, based aircraft, and the airport’s critical design aircraft. It will evaluate airfield and landside facility needs, develop alternatives to satisfy future development potential including an airport development concept and recommend capital improvement projects with cost estimates. It will also include preparing an ALP drawing set and coordinating with the FAA’s San Francisco Airports District Office for review and approval. An FAA approved ALP will support future grant funding opportunities.
Obstruction Survey (AGIS): This survey will collect on-airport mapping and surrounding area data to support development of the ALP drawing set helping to protect arrivals and departures at the airport.
Electric Master Utility Plan (EMUP): The EMUP will assess the airport’s existing electrical infrastructure, project future demand based on development considerations and operational changes, and identify improvements needed to meet a future demand scenario. The plan will provide a 10-year strategy that identifies necessary utility improvements, when they should occur, and how they might be funded. It will include an opportunity and risk assessment, and recommend capital improvement projects which will help the airport remain ahead of demand while it positions itself to capitalize on opportunities.
Environmental baseline surveys: Surveys will be conducted for biological resources including federally and statelisted threatened and endangered species, designated critical habitat, jurisdictional waters, and other sensitive resources. Survey’s will also be conducted for cultural resources, including the built environment.
GOAL: 14: Develop, operate, and
maintain the City’s infrastructure.
