STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopting a Resolution Authorizing the Use and Acceptance of Digital or Electronic Signatures and Approve the City Council Policy titled “Electronic and Digital Signature Use” as Exhibit 1 to the Resolution.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026

PREPARED BY: Maria S. Sullivan, Assistant City Attorney REVIEWED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the use and acceptance of digital or electronic signatures and approve the City Council Policy titled “Electronic and Digital Signature Use” as Exhibit 1 to the Resolution.

BACKGROUND
The use of electronic and digital signatures has become increasingly prevalent and offers benefits including paper reduction, expediency, cost reduction, and preservation of facility space. Electronic signatures that meet certain requirements are recognized as valid and legally binding under the ESIGN Act, the California UETA, and Government Code section 16.5. The City does not currently have a formal policy, and adoption will eliminate ambiguity regarding sufficiency of electronic signatures and documents in specified contexts while preserving the option to use paper processes. The proposed policy establishes roles for determining approved documents and technologies, applies Citywide, and provides for reviews, exceptions, and revocation of untrustworthy methods. Use of electronic signatures remains optional for external parties, and transactions may still be conducted on paper. To resolve uncertainty about electronic signature sufficiency, staff recommends a formal policy authorizing the City’s use and acceptance of electronic signatures in accordance with state and federal frameworks.

DISCUSSION
The authorization will modernize City processes by enabling secure, lawful use of electronic signatures for appropriate transactions, improving operational efficiency, continuity of operations during remote or distributed work, and enhancing recordkeeping quality. The Resolution recognizes electronic signatures as valid under applicable laws and allows staff to implement electronic signatures to the greatest extent feasible within available technology and legal frameworks.

The Policy applies to all City departments and governs uses of electronic signatures and electronically signed records or documents related to the City’s official business. The City Manager or designee, with the recommendation of the City Attorney, will determine which documents may use electronic or digital signatures and will determine acceptable technologies 17 of 249

4908-0689-6525 v1 2 of 2
and vendors to ensure data and signature integrity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, digital signatures are generally deemed to have the same force and effect as ink signatures when compliant with UETA and Government Code section 16.5 and when parties have agreed to conduct the transaction electronically. Use of electronic signatures by individuals or entities conducting business with the City remains optional, and paper options are preserved. The Policy will be reviewed periodically for appropriateness and continued applicability. The Policy does not apply where a person’s signature must be signed in the presence of a notary public. If an approved method is later deemed untrustworthy, the City Manager must revoke approval and, if the prior signatures remain significant, take steps to have records re-signed with a written signature or another approved method.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

CITY OF LIVINGSTON
Electronic and Digital Signature Use Policy
PURPOSE:

To implement guidelines for the use and acceptance of electronic signatures in compliance with the requirements of California Government Code section 16.5. This policy does not supersede laws that specifically require a written signature. This policy does not limit the right or option to conduct the transaction on paper or in non-electronic form and the right to have documents provided or made available on paper.

This policy will authorize the use of electronic signatures on the City of Livingston documents while allowing the City to balance between flexibility and the need for signature security and integrity.

POLICY:

1. To the fullest extent permitted by federal, state, and local law, digital signatures shall generally be deemed by the City to have the same force and effect as manually affixed ink signatures. In any transaction or communication with the City in which the parties have agreed to conduct the transaction by electronic means, the City may use and accept an electronic signature, if the signature complies with the UETA and Section 16.5 of the California Government Code.

2. The City Manager or designee, with the recommendation of the City Attorney, will determine the documents for which the City may use and accept electronic or digital signatures in accordance with applicable law, and will determine the acceptable technologies and vendors to ensure the integrity of any data and signatures.

3. This Electronic and Digital Signature Use Policy applies to all City departments and governs all uses of electronic signatures and electronically signed records or documents related to the conduct of the City’s official business. City staff will only accept electronic signatures that comply with the requirements of this Policy.

4. Pursuant to California law, the use of electronic signatures by individuals or entities that wish to conduct business with the City remains optional. This policy neither limits the right or option to conduct the transaction on paper or in non-electronic form, nor the right to have documents provided or made available on paper.

5. Nothing in this Policy shall prevent the City from adopting additional guidelines or taking further actions to implement this Policy or to add other permissible forms of electronic signatures to this Policy.

6. Periodic reviews will be implemented for appropriateness and continued applicability of electronic signatures.

7. Where a legal requirement, beyond city policy, requires a written document, that requirement is met when an electronic record has associated with it an electronic signature using an approved electronic signature method, which complies with state law. 21 of 249

8. This policy shall not apply to any transaction that requires a person's signature to be signed in the presence of a notary public.

9. In the event that it is determined that an approved electronic signature method is no longer trustworthy, the City Manager must revoke the approval of that electronic signature method. If there is continued significance for the electronic signatures which used the revoked method, the City Manager will take steps to see that any valid records signed with the revoked electronic signature method are signed again either with a written signature or with an approved electronic signature method.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving the Submittal of a Program Income application to the California Department of Housing and Community
Development HOME Program for First-Time Homebuyer and OwnerOccupied Rehabilitation Programs in an amount of $553,663 in current funds along with any additional future program income receipts and authorizing the City Mayor and City Manager to Execute all Required Documents as applicable.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
PREPARED BY: Happy Bains, Finance Director/Assistant City Manager REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a Resolution of the City of Livingston approving the submission of a HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Program Income application in the amount of $553,663 in Program Income cash-on-hand, plus future Program Income receipts, for a FirstTime Homebuyer Program and an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program; and authorizing the City Mayor and City Manager to execute all required documents as applicable.

BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The City of Livingston (City) currently has a balance of $553,663 in HOME Program Income (PI). A PI balance is generated from repayments of housing program loans previously provided by the City and can be expended on HOME-eligible activities. In order to do so, the City must first submit a HOME PI application to the State of California Housing & Community Development Department (HCD), and receive application approval and an executed Standard Agreement, in addition to satisfying any general setup conditions as required by the HOME Program.

The proposed Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation (OOR) program will provide assistance to homeowners with household incomes at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI) to fund home repairs for the correction of items which jeopardize the health and safety of the occupants. Units being assisted must be clear of all code violations and all major components of the unit must have a useful life of five years upon completion of work. All work must be performed by a licensed contractor and meet building code standards. Units are eligible for reconstruction when the cost to repair the unit exceeds the cost to construct a new unit in its place. Reconstructed units must be replaced by a like-unit - no additions of bedrooms or bathrooms are allowed unless justified due to overcrowding. Financing is provided up to the maximum allowed per bedroom as established by the US Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) annually. Properties’ after-rehabilitation value may not exceed the maximum purchase price/value limit, also established by HUD annually. Financing is provided as deferred payment, zero interest loans, with a 30-year term, due and payable upon sale or transfer of title.

The proposed First-Time Homebuyer (FTHB) program will provide secondary financing to first-time homebuyers with household incomes at or below 80% of area median income (AMI) for downpayment 23 of 249

Page 2 of 2 ends

assistance, closing costs and gap financing in the purchase of existing or new single-family homes.

Financial assistance is available for up to 50% of the maximum purchase price or the maximum subsidy limit as established by HUD annually, whichever is less. Loans are zero interest, deferred payment loans with a term of 45 years and become due and payable upon sale or transfer of title. The amount of HOME assistance provided is based on household income, housing and debt ratios, the maximum loan a borrower qualifies for with a primary lender, and the purchase price of the unit. Homes purchased may not exceed the maximum purchase price limits established by HUD annually.

Staff propose that the City submit a HOME PI application in the amount of $553,663 in Program Income cash-on-hand, plus future Program Income receipts, to provide qualified households with FTHB or OOR assistance within the city limits of Livingston. This amount includes allowable activity delivery costs that will be used to pay the City’s intended subrecipient, Self-Help Enterprises (SHE), for the implementation of both programs. General Administration (GA) costs to SHE will not exceed 10% of the City’s PI balance, per State regulations. As of 06/30/2026, the City’s activity balance of HOME PI is $498,297 and the balance of HOME PI for General Administration is $55,366, for a total of $553,663.

The proposed budget of PI cash-on-hand to SHE is as follows:

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt a Resolution Approving an Employment Agreement with John Ramirez to Serve as Interim Chief of Police for the City of Livingston, and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign All Related Documents MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026

PREPARED BY: Arcelia Cruz, Human Resources Coordinator
REVIEWED BY: Jose Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an Employment Agreement with John Ramirez to serve as Interim Chief of Police for the City of Livingston and authorizing the City Manager to sign all related documents.

BACKGROUND
Since July 3, 2025, John Ramirez has served as the City’s Interim Chief of Police, providing leadership and oversight of the Livingston Police Department operations during a period of organizational transition. Staff recommends approval of a new Employment Agreement to continue Mr. Ramirez’s service in this role. Approval of this Agreement will ensure continuity within the Department while the City continues evaluating its long-term leadership needs.

DISCUSSION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Employment Agreement to allow John Ramirez to continue serving as Interim Chief of Police. Continuation of the current leadership arrangement provides operational stability and preserves continuity within the Department.

Under the proposed Agreement, the Interim Chief will continue to:
• Direct and oversee all Police Department operations;
• Manage departmental personnel, programs, and budget resources; • Ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and City policies; • Advise the City Manager regarding public safety and law enforcement matters; • Represent the Department before the City Council, community organizations, and partner agencies;
• Support the City's strategic public safety objectives and organizational priorities.

Key provisions of the proposed Employment Agreement include:
• Term: Effective July 21 and continuing until 30 days after a permanent Chief of Police is appointed, unless otherwise terminated under the terms of the Agreement. • Compensation: Base Salary of $170,253.64 and benefits as outlined in the Agreement. 28 of 249

2 of 2
• Employee remains a member of the Supervisory Employee Association Bargaining Group and shall continue to be represented by this bargaining unit for all purposes, except as expressly modified by the Agreement.

Staff believes continuation of Mr. Ramirez’s appointment as Interim Chief of Police is in the best interests of the City and will provide sustained leadership and operational consistency for the Police Department.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of an Employment Agreement is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it involves administrative and organizational activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with the proposed Employment Agreement for the Interim Chief of Police have been included in the adopted budget for fiscal year 2026-2027.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving An Agreement with Feezza, Inc. for Website Design and Installation, and Ongoing Support for Website Software

MEETING DATE: July 21, 2026
PREPARED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving an agreement with Feezza, Inc. for Website Design and Installation, and Ongoing Support for Website Software.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City is seeking the services of a website development firm to redesign, develop, host, and maintain the City’s official website. The goal of the project is to modernize the existing site, improve usability for constituents and staff, and comprehensive content management. The selected contractor shall deliver a secure ADA- Compliant website.

The City is in need of replacing its existing webpage to provide accessibility standards under the federal ADA guidelines and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards to ensure navigation for users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and physical impairments (pursuant to Government Code section 7405 (electronic technology) and 11135 (discrimination)).

It is imperative that the City provide simple electronic access to public services, serve as a public communications tool, and streamline business operations. To further the City’s roles, the City must provide a website that (1) has easy access to City services, (2) adapts to evolving technology and laws, (3) allows City staff to manage the website’s content, and (4) is used as a public communication tool.

This proposed contract is exempt from bidding because it involves the provision of professional services. LMC § 1-11-10 (A). IT and website creation services qualify as professional services because the project requires specialty knowledge and various certifications and licensure.

Nonetheless, to ensure competitiveness of rates and suitability of services, City staff obtained multiple quotes and invited vendors to provide demonstrations. After evaluating potential vendors, City staff concluded Feezza, Inc. is the best choice.

Below, you will find a summary of cost for the three vendors:

Hi Martha, Monica, Jose, and Shukrash,
Thank you all for taking the time to meet with me today. I enjoyed the opportunity to walk through the new CivicPlus platform and discuss your website modernization goals.

I appreciate how proactive Livingston is regarding accessibility and compliance. It was great to review the accessibility capabilities of the platform, including AudioEye for website accessibility monitoring and remediation, as well as DocAccess for PDF remediation and document accessibility.

Based on our discussion, the solution you're most interested in includes:

Premium Design + Full Suite
• Premium Design (12 modules): $5,000 annually
• Full Suite Add-On: $3,500 annually
• Total Annual Investment: $8,500 annually
• One-Time Premium Design Implementation Fee: $5,000
Please note that the implementation fee has been significantly discounted from the standard $1 0, 000- $15, 000 range.

DocAccess (PDF Remediation)
• Annual Subscription: $5,928.60
• One-Time Implementation Fee: $1,500
AudioEye
• Annual Subscription: $3,200
• One-Time Implementation Fee: $500
1 46 of 249
As discussed, for accessibility there will also be a prorated amount applied and a 50% discount to year one
I am currently building out the agreement and pricing documentation for your review. You should expect to receive the agreement from me on Monday or Tuesday.

Thank you again for your time and engagement during today's meeting. I look forward to reconnecting within the next week to answer any remaining questions, finalize the details, and begin planning for implementation.

I appreciate you,

What’s Your Long-Term Accessibility Plan?
Dependable Compliance and
Accessibility Solutions
Consider:
• Do you monitor your website content continuously for accessibility compliance? • Do you have accessibility experts and legal support available to fix issues 24/7? • Do you have in-depth knowledge of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and other state and federal regulations regarding digital accessibility? • Does your parks and recreation software provide compliant digital interactions for your residents? Websites are no longer static entities but living documents that continuously grow with updates and enhancements in an everevolving landscape of accessibility legislation. Identifying issues of accessibility on a government website is only half the battle. Once accessibility barriers are identified, they need to be fixed. Once fixed, the website will then require consistent monitoring to ensure that any new content meets accessibility standards. Delivering accessible and usable content is an ongoing commitment to your residents, and with the help of AudioEye, CivicPlus offers an end-to-end solution for digital accessibility, all while accommodating lean budgets and a hands-off approach.

9.3.1 Proprietary Rights Indemnity.

Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement will continue uninterrupted with respect to the replaced or modified Services as if it were the original Services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Contractor’s liability under this Agreement shall not apply to any Action arising from the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

9.3.4 City shall give Contractor prompt written notice of any Action and shall fully cooperate with Contractor in the defense and all related settlement negotiations to the extent that cooperation does not conflict with City’s interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall have the right, if Contractor fails or refuses to defend City with Counsel acceptable to City, to engage its own counsel for the purposes of participating in the defense. In addition, City shall have the right to withhold payments due Contractor in the amount of reasonable defense costs actually incurred. In no event shall Contractor agree to the settlement of any claim described herein without the prior written consent of City. 71 of 249
12 01424.0001/1017452.1

9.3.5 All of Contractor’s indemnification obligations hereunder are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 2782) and shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

10. PROPRIETARY OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

10.1 Confidentiality Obligations. Confidential Information shall mean all proprietary or confidential information disclosed or made available by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement that is identified as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure or is of a nature that should reasonably be considered to be confidential, and includes but is not limited to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which includes all Exhibits and Schedules, and all business, technical and other information (including without limitation, all product, services, financial, marketing, engineering, research and development information, product specifications, technical data, data sheets, software, inventions, processes, training manuals, know-how and any other information or material), and all Personal Identifying Information in City Data disclosed from time to time by the disclosing Party to the receiving Party, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever (including without limitation, in writing, orally, electronically, or by inspection); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include the Content that is to be published on the website(s) of either Party.

10.2 Each Party agrees to keep confidential and not disclose to any third party and to use only for purposes of performing or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, any Confidential Information. The receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information using measures similar to those it takes to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature but not less than reasonable measures. Each Party agrees not to disclose the Confidential Information to any of its Representatives except those who are required to have the Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and then only if such Representative is either subject to a written confidentiality agreement or otherwise subject to fiduciary obligations of confidentiality that cover the confidential treatment of the Confidential Information.

10.3 Exceptions. The obligations of this Section 10.3 shall not apply if receiving Party can prove by appropriate documentation, where appropriate, that such Confidential Information (i) was known to the receiving Party as shown by the receiving Party’s files at the time of disclosure thereof, (ii) was already in the public domain at the time of the disclosure thereof, (iii) entered the public domain through no action of the receiving Party subsequent to the time of the disclosure thereof, (iv) is or was independently developed by the Contractor without access to or use of the Confidential Information; (v) was provided to the Contractor by a third party who, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, was not bound by any confidentiality obligation related to such Confidential Information; or (vi) is required by law or government order to be disclosed by the receiving Party, provided that the receiving Party shall (i) notify the disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure as soon as reasonably possible prior to such disclosure, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts at its expense to cause such disclosed Confidential Information to be treated by such governmental authority as trade secrets and as confidential.

10.4 Contractor acknowledges that City is subject to public disclosure laws and that City will comply with requests for information (“RFI”), as it is required to do under the federal Freedom of Information Act, California Public Records Act, or judicial or administrative court 72 of 249
13 01424.0001/1017452.1
order. Contractor acknowledges that an RFI may pertain to any and all documentation associated with City’s use of Contractor’s Services. Contractor further acknowledges that it is obligated to assist and cooperate with City by producing all documentation that City requests as responsive to the RFI so that City may comply with its statutory obligations. City agrees to give Contractor as timely written notice as possible of the RFI such that Contractor may oppose the RFI or exercise such other rights at law as Contractor believes it has. However, Contractor must produce all RFI responsive documents City has requested to City and City will comply with the RFI unless, within the time frame established by the statute, judicial or court order under which the RFI is made, Contractor procures a Temporary Restraining Order or similar injunctive relief from a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction ordering City not to comply with that portion of the RFI which Contractor protests, pending final determination of Contractor’s protest of the RFI.

Contractor further agrees to accept City’s tender of defense and to indemnify City and pay all City costs of defense in any litigation brought against City with respect to City not complying with that portion of an RFI that Contractor protests and will hold City harmless against any claims, attorneys’ fees, damages, fines, judgments, or administrative penalties, which may arise from any such actions.

10.5 Notwithstanding these provisions, when Contractor’s Services produce highly sensitive data, including, but not limited to, data with personal identifying information, reports and other records (“Records”) which mandate that both the City and Contractor take every lawful step to establish that the Records be exempted from disclosure. Contractor’s failure or refusal to also take action to protect the Records from disclosure shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement.

12.4 Upon completion of the transition and at the City’s written direction, Contractor shall securely delete or return all remaining City Data and certify such deletion in writing.

13. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

13.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

13.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.

13.3 Legal Action.

75 of 249
16 01424.0001/1017452.1
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

13.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine.

In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder, but not exceeding the compensation provided therefore in the Schedule of Compensation Exhibit “C”. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the nonterminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

13.5 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

STAFF REPORT
4903-0011-1295 v2 1 of 2
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt a Resolution Approving a Legal Services Agreement with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, for Special Counsel Services Related to Anticipated Litigation, and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign All Related Documents
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026

PREPARED BY: Jose Ramirez, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Marc Barraza Tran, City Attorney

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Legal Services Agreement (“LSA”) with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP (“BWS”), to provide special counsel services to the City in connection with anticipated litigation and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement and any related documents.

BACKGROUND
The City of Livingston anticipates commencing litigation involving matters affecting important City interests. Due to the specialized nature of the anticipated claims and the need for dedicated legal resources, staff recommends retaining J. Leah Castella and Kevin Siegel of BWS to represent the City in this matter.

The proposed legal team possesses substantial experience in complex municipal litigation and has successfully represented public agencies in various matters.

DISCUSSION
The City has identified legal issues that may require the commencement of litigation to protect and enforce the City’s rights and interests. The City Manager determined specialized legal services and dedicated counsel were likely to be required.

The City Council conducted a review of five qualified firms with experience representing public agencies in comparable matters. Based on the firm’s qualifications, litigation experience, staffing capabilities, proposed rates, and familiarity with government law, J. Leah Castella and Kevin Siegel of BWS were identified as the most qualified to serve as Special Counsel.

The proposed LSA authorizes BWS to represent the City regarding anticipated litigation and any related pre-litigation activities, including investigation, claims analysis, negotiation, filing of legal actions, motion practice, discovery, trial preparation, settlement discussion, and appellate proceedings, if necessary, and as directed by the City. 87 of 249

STAFF REPORT
4903-0011-1295 v2 2 of 2
Because litigation strategy and attorney-client communications are privileged and confidential, detailed discussion of the anticipated claims and legal theories may occur in closed session as permitted by the Brown Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of a Legal Services Agreement for legal representation is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it constitutes an administrative and organizational activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement provides for compensation based on hourly billing rates and reimbursement of approved litigation expenses.

Given the nature of litigation, future expenditures will depend upon the complexity and duration of the matter. Staff will monitor costs and return to the City Council for additional appropriations if necessary.

Re: Legal Services Agreement
Dear Mr. Ramirez:

Direct No.: 213.236.2818
[email protected]
We are pleased to represent City of Livingston with respect to the matters described in this Agreement. The following sets forth the terms pursuant to which BURKE, WILLIAMS & SORENSEN, LLP ("Burke") and City of Livingston ("Client") agree that Burke will provide legal services to Client. The hallmark of any productive professional relationship is effective communication, and we would invite you to contact us at any time during or after our representation with regard to any questions you may have associated with our representation or the matters described herein.

1. CONDITIONS. This Agreement will not take effect, and Burke will have no obligation to provide legal services, until Client returns a signed copy of this Agreement. The effective date of this Agreement will be July 21, 2026.

2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. Client hires Burke to provide legal services in the matters set forth in Attachment "A" to this Agreement. No representation outside of the matters set forth in Attachment "A" to this Agreement shall be provided by Burke to Client. No representation of any directors, officers, employees, shareholders, or any other persons or entities affiliated with Client shall be provided unless such representation is expressly included in Attachment "A" to this Agreement. Burke will provide those legal services reasonably required to represent Client. Burke will take reasonable steps to keep Client informed of progress and to respond to Client's inquiries. If a court action is filed, Burke will represent Client through trial and post-trial motions. This Agreement does not cover representation on appeal or in execution proceedings after judgment. Separate arrangements must be agreed to for those services. Services in any matter not described above will require a separate written agreement or a written modification to this Agreement.

3. CLIENT'S DUTIES. Client agrees to be truthful with Burke, to cooperate, to keep Burke informed of any information or developments which may come to Client's attention, to abide by this Agreement, to pay Burke's bills on time, and to keep Burke advised of Client's address, telephone number, and whereabouts. Client will assist Burke in providing necessary information and documents and will appear when necessary at legal proceedings.

4. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Before accepting representation of Client, Burke has undertaken reasonable and customary efforts to determine whether there are any potential conflicts of interest or adversity of positions between Client and any other person or entity that would bar Burke from representing Client in general or in any of the specific matters listed in Attachment "A". Burke has reviewed this issue in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted in California. Burke believes that those rules, rather than the rules of any other jurisdiction, are applicable to Client's representation. Client's execution and return of the enclosed copy of this letter represents an express agreement to the applicability of the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted in California to any and all representation arising under this Agreement.

5. LEGAL FEES AND BILLING PRACTICES. Client agrees to pay by the hour at Burke's prevailing rates for all time spent on Client's matter by Burke's legal personnel. Current hourly rates for legal personnel are set forth in Attachment "8" to this Agreement.

Burke's rates are subject to change on 30 days' written notice to Client. Rates shall automatically increase annually on January 1 of each year as set forth in Attachment "8" to this Agreement. If Client declines to pay increased rates, Burke will have the right to withdraw as attorney for Client.

The time charged will include the time Burke spends on telephone calls relating to Client's matter, including calls with Client, witnesses, opposing counsel or court personnel. The legal personnel assigned to Client's matter may confer among themselves about the matter, as required and appropriate. When they do confer, each person will charge for the time expended, as long as the work done is reasonably necessary and not duplicative. Likewise, if more than one of the legal personnel attends a meeting, court hearing or other proceeding, each will charge for the time spent. Burke will charge for waiting time in court and elsewhere and for travel time, both local and out-of-town.

6. COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES.

$ .76 (per IRS notices)
(b) Out-of-town travel. Client agrees to pay transportation, meals, lodging and all other costs of any necessary out-of-town travel by Burke's personnel. Client will also be charged the hourly rates for the time legal personnel spend traveling. (c) Experts, Consultants and Investigators. To aid in the preparation or presentation of Client's case, it may become necessary to hire expert witnesses, consultants, investigators, and outsourced support services. Client agrees to pay such fees and charges. Burke will select any expert witnesses, consultants, investigators or support services to be hired, and Client will be informed of persons chosen and their charges.

Additionally, Client understands that if the matter proceeds to court action or arbitration, Client may be required to pay fees and/or costs to other parties in the action.

Any such payment will be entirely the responsibility of Client.

7. BILLING STATEMENTS. Burke will send Client periodic statements for fees and costs incurred. Each statement will be payable within 30 days of its mailing date. Client may request a statement at intervals of less than 30 days. If Client so requests, Burke will provide one within 10 days. The statements shall include the amount, rate, basis of calculation or other method of determination of the fees and costs, which costs will be clearly identified by item and amount.

8. INTEREST CHARGES. If a billing statement is not paid by its due date, interest will be charged on the principal balance (fees, costs, and disbursements) shown 94 of 249
Jose A. Ramirez
August 4, 2026
Page4
on the statement. Interest will be calculated by multiplying the unpaid balance by the periodic rate of .833% per month (TEN PERCENT [10%] ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The unpaid balance will bear interest from the date of the invoice until paid.

9. LIEN. Client hereby grants Burke a lien on any and all claims or causes of action that are the subject of the representation under this Agreement. The lien will be for any sums owing to Burke at the conclusion of services performed. The lien will attach to any recovery Client may obtain, whether by arbitration award, judgment, settlement or otherwise. The effect of such a lien is that Burke may be able to compel payment of fees and costs from any such funds recovered on behalf of Client even if Burke has been discharged before the end of the case. Because a lien may affect Client's property rights, Client may seek the advice of an independent lawyer of Client's choice before agreeing to such a lien. By initialing this paragraph, Client represents and agrees that Client has had a reasonable opportunity to consult such an independent lawyer and-whether or not Client has chosen to consult such an independent lawyerClient agrees that Burke will have a lien as specified above._ \ ____ (Client Initial Here) ~ Burke Initial Here)

10. DISCHARGE AND WITHDRAWAL. Client may discharge Burke at any time. Burke may withdraw with Client's consent or for good cause. Good cause includes Client's breach of this Agreement, refusal to cooperate or to follow Burke's advice on a material matter or any fact or circumstance that would render Burke's continuing representation unlawful or unethical. When Burke's services conclude, all unpaid charges will immediately become due and payable. After services conclude, Burke will, upon Client's request, deliver Client's file, and property in Burke's possession unless subject to the lien provided in Paragraph 9 above, whether or not Client has paid for all services.

11. DOCUMENT RETENTION POLICY. Client is entitled upon written request to any files in Burke's possession relating to the legal services performed by Burke for Client, excluding Burke's internal accounting records and other documents not reasonably necessary to Client's representation, subject to Burke's right to make copies of any files withdrawn by Client. Once a matter is concluded, Burke will close the file, and Client will receive notice thereof. Client's physical files may be sent to storage offsite, and thereafter there may be an administrative cost for retrieving them from storage. Thus, it is recommended that Client request the return of a file at the conclusion of a matter. Under Burke's document retention policy, Burke normally destroys files five (5) years after a matter is closed, unless other arrangements are made with Client.

The claims or controversies subject to this provision shall include, without limitation, any claim of professional negligence or malpractice.

The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California, unless we mutually select another venue, and judgment may be entered upon the arbitrator's award by any court having jurisdiction.

1 STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt a Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Financial Services for a Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Rates Study for an Additional Amount Not to Exceed $30,000, Increasing the Total Contract Amount from $72,895 to $102,895.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026

PREPARED BY: Happy Bains, Finance Director/ Assistant City Manager REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Financial Services and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the amendment in an amount not to exceed $30,000. The amendment would increase the total contract amount from $72,895 to $102,895.

BACKGROUND:

On July 1, 2025, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Financial Services (WFS) for the preparation of a Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Rate Study in an amount not to exceed $72,895. The study was intended to evaluate the financial condition of the City's enterprise funds and develop rate recommendations that would support ongoing operations, maintenance, capital improvements, and regulatory compliance.

Since the initiation of the project, the scope of work has expanded beyond original assumptions due to the extended project schedule, additional financial analyses, revised capital improvement plan evaluations, and multiple stakeholder and City Council discussions. As the project progressed, staff requested several updates to the financial model and additional rate scenarios to evaluate alternative approaches for funding utility operations and capital improvements DISCUSSION:

Willdan Financial Services has submitted a request for Amendment No. 1 to provide additional funding necessary to complete the Utility Rate Study and related Proposition 218 process requirements. According to Willdan, the original project budget has been exhausted due to the additional work performed during the study.

The requested amendment consists of the following additional services:
• Updates to the financial plan and rate model to incorporate revised budget information, expenses, and fund balance data as the project timeline extended. • Development and evaluation of multiple alternative scenarios related to capital improvement planning, financial projections, and rate structures. 100 of 249

2 • Additional meetings and presentations with the Utility Rate Stakeholders Committee, City staff, and the City Council beyond the number originally anticipated. • Preparation of the Proposition 218 notice, development of customer and property owner mailing databases, and coordination of the required public notice mailing process.

The amendment amount of $30,000 is allocated as follows:

Description Amount
Final financial plan adjustments, rate analysis refinements, report preparation, and project deliverables $11,760
Proposition 218 notice preparation and mailing database development $5,010 Additional meetings, presentations, and scenario development $13,230 Total Amendment Amount $30,000
Approval of this amendment will allow Willdan Financial Services to complete the rate study, prepare the final rate report, support the Proposition 218 process, and attend the remaining stakeholder and City Council meetings necessary for project completion.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Authorize the Finance Department to make a supplemental appropriation not to exceed $30,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.

The proposed amendment will increase the contract amount with Willdan Financial Services by $30,000, from $72,895 to a total not-to-exceed amount of $102,895.

Funding for the amendment will be allocated from the Water (2100-810-4310), Sewer (2101-815- 4310), and Solid Waste (2103-825-4310) Enterprise Funds.

RE: Amendment 1 – Ongoing Services Related to Utility Rate Study Dear Happy,
Pursuant to recent conversations and correspondence with Jose, we appreciate the willingness of the City to consider a budget amendment for our ongoing Utility Rate Study. This requested amendment reflects the use of the original budget for additional work already performed during the project for preparation of updated versions of the financial plan, CIP and rate scenarios as well as additional meetings, as described below. Following are the specific areas of additional effort incurred:
▪ Updates to financial plan and model as the duration of the project increased, to include available updated budget, expense, and fund balance data;
▪ Development of numerous scenarios to evaluate alternative approaches to the CIP, financial plan and rate options.

Presentation and discussion of scenarios with City, resulting adjustments to financial plan; and ▪ Additional meetings with the Utility Rate Stakeholders Committee, City Staff, and the City Council, beyond the number originally anticipated.

Project Fees
Willdan Financial Services is requesting a budget amendment, for completion of the project, for not to exceed amount of $30,000 as follows:
▪ $11,760 – Final adjustments and refinements to financial plan and cost-of-service and rate analysis, preparation of new or added scenarios as requested by City, preparation of report and related documents and presentations, finalization of model and deliverables;
▪ $5,010 – Preparation of Prop 218 Notice, development of customer and property owner databases for mailing, coordination of mailing of notices 45 days prior to required public hearing; and ▪ $13,230 – Attendance, preparation and discussion of additional scenarios, presentations for additional, and remaining meetings.

The additional budget will be allocated as shown above to completion of remaining meetings, presentations, model and deliverables, preparation of the rate report, and Proposition 218 Notice and databases; where the original budget was exhausted through the additional work earlier in the project.

We greatly appreciate your consideration of this budget amendment. If the terms of this engagement are acceptable to you, please sign where indicated and return the letter back, via email, to [email protected].

1.5 Familiarity with Work.

By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of work to be performed; (ii) has carefully considered how the services should be performed; and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement.

1.6 Discovery of Unknown Conditions.
(a) Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7104, Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City, in writing, of any: (i) material Contractor believes may be hazardous waste as defined in Section 25117 of the Health & Safety Code required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in accordance with existing law; (ii) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site, materially different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids on the project; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement.
(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, shall issue a change order in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by 117 of 249
-5- 01424.0001/923138.1
contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

1.7 Unidentified Utilities.

To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, City will compensate Contractor for the cost of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating utility facilities not identified by City in the Bid Documents with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require City to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances whenever the presence of such utilities on the project site can be inferred from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the site of the construction; provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve City from identifying main or trunklines in the plans and specifications. If Contractor, while performing the work, discovers utility facilities not identified by City in the plans or specifications, Contractor shall immediately notify City and the utility in writing. This Agreement is subject to Government Code sections 4126 through 4216.9. Contractor must notify utilities and obtain an identification number before excavation or be subject to liability for damages to subsurface installations.

1.8 Trench Excavation.

Pursuant to Labor Code section 6705, if this Agreement is for more than $25,000.00 and requires the excavation of any trench or trenches five feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit, in advance of such excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. The plan shall be reviewed and accepted by the City, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the City to whom authority has been delegated, prior to the excavation. If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. This section shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders. This subsection shall not be construed to impose tort liability on the City or any of its employees. Full compensation for sheeting, shoring, bracing, sloping, and all other provisions required for worker protection shall be considered as included in the contract price shown in the appropriate Bid Item, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

1.9 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.

The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. Contractor shall not, without City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the work. 118 of 249

1.10 Warranty.

Contractor warrants all work under the Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act as soon as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work.

Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense.

Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

1.11 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Project Manager to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor (“Change Order”). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and Project Manager prior to commencing the extra work thereunder.
(b) Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or $25,000.00, whichever is less; or any increase in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days; and does not materially affect the Work and which are not detrimental to the 119 of 249
-7- 01424.0001/923138.1
Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the Project Manager. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. (c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in accordance with the rates set forth in the Contractor’s Bid. If the rates in the Contractor’s Bid do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and Project Manager. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: The cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: The cost of materials and equipment shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower. (iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers, classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City’s sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor’s rights for that day. (d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

1.12 Special Requirements.

Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit B and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall govern. 120 of 249

ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Contract Sum.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in Contractor’s Bid, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.

2.2 Invoices.

Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Director of Finance. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement.

All invoices shall include a copy of Contractor’s Certified Payroll and proof that Certified Payroll has been submitted to the DIR. Contractor shall also submit a list of the prevailing wage rates (including federal prevailing wage rates, if applicable) for all employees and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement, as applicable, with Contractor’s first invoice. If these rates change at any time during the term of the Agreement, Contractor shall submit a new list of rates to the City with its first invoice following the effective date of the rate change.

2.3 Payment.

City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, City will cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.

2.4 Retention.

Pursuant to Section 9203 of the Public Contract Code, City will deduct a five percent (5%) retention from all progress payments, which shall be released to Contractor no later than sixty (60) 121 of 249
-9- 01424.0001/923138.1
days from completion of the work in accordance with Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code.

In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.

2.5 Substitution of Securities.
(a) In conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code, Part 5, Section 22300, Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under this Agreement.
(b) At the request and expense of Contractor, Contractor has the option of establishing an escrow account with a state or federally chartered bank which shall serve as an escrow agent, for Contractor’s direct deposit of securities as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the City. Upon Contractor’s completion of its obligations hereunder, as evidenced by the City’s acceptance of the work pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the escrow agent shall return the securities to Contractor. The escrow agent shall notify the City within ten (10) days after deposit of the securities. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention. Securities shall be held in the name of the City and shall designate Contractor as the beneficial owner. Alternatively, on written request of Contractor, the City shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the escrow account.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

3.1 Schedule of Performance.

Contractor shall begin work within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving a Notice to Proceed from the City and the work shall be completed within two hundred sixty (260) consecutive working days from the date on which the work was started and in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Bid Documents, and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply.

3.2 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) as liquidated damages for each calendar day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities. 122 of 249
-10- 01424.0001/923138.1

3.3 Inspection and Final Acceptance.

City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, either during performance or when completed. If City finds that Contractor’s work does not meet the requirements and standards provided in the Bid Document, Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work at Contractor’s sole expense following notice by the City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud and such gross mistakes as to amount to fraud. Acceptance of any work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Articles 1 and 5, pertaining to warranty and indemnification and insurance, respectively.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

Therefore, Contractor shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. All subcontractors shall obtain, at its or Contractor’s expense, such licenses, permits, registrations and approvals (including from the City) as may be required by law for the performance of any services or work under this Agreement.

In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
(g) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non-estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(h) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(i) Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(j) Additional Insured Status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(k) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change 127 of 249
-15- 01424.0001/923138.1
results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation.
(o) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(p) Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(q) Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
(r) Endorsements.

5.3 Indemnification.

Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsels fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability 128 of 249
-16- 01424.0001/923138.1
involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

5.4 Notification of Third-Party Claims.

City shall timely notify Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to the work under this Agreement. City shall be entitled to recover from Contractor its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notification.

5.5 Performance, Labor, and Warranty Bonds.

Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver to the City the following bonds:
(a) A performance bond securing the faithful performance of this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section 2.1.
(b) A labor and materials bond, securing the payment of all persons furnishing labor and/or materials in connection with the work under this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section 2.1. (c) A warranty bond, guaranteeing the Contractor’s warranty under Section 1.9 of this Agreement, in an amount not less than 20% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section 2.1.

All bonds shall be on a form approved by the City Clerk. The bonds shall each contain the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a certified and current copy of his/her power of attorney. The bonds shall be unconditional and remain in force during the entire term of the Agreement.

5.6 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety.

Insurance and bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best’s Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better. If the City determines that the work to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the bonds required in Section 5.5 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City.

ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION

In the event of dissolution of Contractor’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Contractor’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

6.2 Reports.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Project Manager such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Project Manager shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein, Contractor shall promptly notify the Project Manager of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto.

Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) Information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Project Manager.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Project Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Merced, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Northern District of California, in the County of Merced, State of California.

This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with Section 6-7 and 6-8 of the 2018 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (the Greenbook). 131 of 249
-19- 01424.0001/923138.1

7.3 Dispute Resolution Process.

Section 20104 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding judicial-supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims of $375,000 or less. Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims.

The intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.

For purposes of these procedures, “claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.

The following requirements apply to all claims to which this section applies:
(a) Claim Submittal. The claim shall be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment. Nothing in this section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided in the Agreement for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon. (b) Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the following format:
(i) Summary of the claim, including references to the specific Contract Document provisions upon which the claim is based.
(ii) List of documents relating to claim: (a) Specifications, (b) Drawings, (c) Clarifications (Requests for Information), (d) Schedules, and (e) Other. (iii) Chronology of events and correspondence related to the claim. (iv) Statement of grounds for the claim.
(v) Analysis of the claim’s cost, if any.
(vi) Analysis of the claim’s time/schedule impact, if any. (c) City’s Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. 132 of 249
-20- 01424.0001/923138.1
(i) If the City needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (ii) Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the City may have against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. (iii) The City’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.
(d) Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (e) Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. (i) If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. (ii) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section. 133 of 249
-21- 01424.0001/923138.1
(iii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (iv) All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (f) City’s Responses. The City’s failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute and adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City’s failure to respond shall not waive City’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(g) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation.

A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims. (h) Civil Actions for Claims of $375,000.00 or Less. The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims totaling $375,000.00 or less:
(i) Within 60 days, but no earlier than 30 days, following the filing or responsive pleadings, the court shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation unless waived by mutual stipulation of both parties or unless mediation was held prior to commencement of the action in accordance with Public Contract Code section 9204 and the procedures in this Section.

The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court or by stipulation of both parties.

If the parties fail to select a mediator within the 15-day period, either party may petition the court to appoint the mediator.
134 of 249
-22- 01424.0001/923138.1
(ii) If the matter remains in dispute, the case shall be submitted to judicial arbitration pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notwithstanding Section 1141.11 of that code. The Civil Discovery Act (Title 4 (commencing with Section 2016.010) of Part 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure) shall apply to any proceeding brought under this subdivision consistent with the rules pertaining to judicial arbitration.
(iii) Upon stipulation of the parties, arbitrators appointed for these purposes shall be experienced in construction law, and, upon stipulation of the parties, mediators and arbitrators shall be paid necessary and reasonable hourly rates of pay not to exceed their customary rate, and such fees and expenses shall be paid equally by the parties, except in the case of arbitration where the arbitrator, for good cause, determines a different division. (iv) In addition to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, any party who after receiving an arbitration award requests a trial de novo but does not obtain a more favorable judgment shall, in addition to payment of costs and fees under that chapter, pay the attorney's fees of the other party arising out of the trial de novo.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

FOR CONSTRUCTION OF

LIVINGSTON REC-PLEX
BID 1 of 14
146 of 249
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price st1all prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount of the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the CITY of LIVINGSTONs Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums wil l be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cov~r every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for wi ll be determined in the discretion of the CITY of LIVINGSTON, and that di cretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the CITY of LIVINGSTON to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the CITY of LIVINGSTON respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.

If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the 3 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the CITY of LIVINGSTON, within 8 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice from the CITY of LIVINGSTON that the contract has been awarded, the CITY of LIVINGSTON may, at its option, determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of the CITY of LIVINGSTON.

The undersigned, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this proposal as p incipals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, fi1m, or corporation; that he has carefully examined the location of the proposed work, the annexed proposed form of contract, and the plans therein referred to; and he proposes, and agrees if this proposal 655.08A BID 2-14

FOR CONSTRUCTION OF

LIVINGSTON REC-PLEX
BID 1 of 14
180 of 249
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount of the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the CITY of LIVINGSTON's Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the CITY of LIVINGSTON, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the CITY of LIVINGSTON to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work.

FOR CONSTRUCTION OF

LIVINGSTON REC-PLEX
BID 1 of 14
207 of 249
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) - If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount of the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the CITY of LIVINGSTONs Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the CITY of LIVINGSTON, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the CITY of LIVINGSTON to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the CITY of LIVINGSTON respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.

If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the 3 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the CITY of LIVINGSTON, within 8 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice from the CITY of LIVINGSTON that the contract has been awarded, the CITY of LIVINGSTON may, at its option, determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of the CITY of LIVINGSTON.

The undersigned, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this proposal as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, firm, or corporation; that he has carefully examined the location of the proposed work, the annexed proposed form of contract, and the plans therein referred to; and he proposes, and agrees if this proposal 655.08A

1 STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Direction on City Requirements for New Park Facilities and Storm Drain Basin Design Preferences for Pre-Development Review Application No. PDR 2026-03 - Cabral Farms Residential Development Proposal.

MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
PREPARED BY: Miguel Galvez, Contract City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

The Council is requested to provide direction to staff on the requirement and design options for new park and storm drain basin facilities on a proposed residential subdivision on a 40 acre property owned by Eric Cabral located at the southeast corner of Dwight Way and Olive Avenue.

PROJECT:

Pre-Development Application No. 2026-03 - Cabral Farms Residential Development proposes to annex, pre-zone and subdivide approximately 40 gross acres located at the south side of Olive Avenue and east of Dwight Way at 11973 Olive Avenue (Merced County Assessor’s Parcel Number 143-030-001), See Attachment A, Location and Vicinity Map.

The proposed subdivision would subdivide 37.89 net acres into approximately 156 residential lots and a storm drain basin lot. The property is presently located in the unincorporated area of Merced County and zoned as A-1, General Agricultural Zoning District. The property is proposed to be pre-zoned as R-1, Low Density Residential, annexed to the City of Livingston, and subdivided to allow the development of single family lots of at least 7,000 square feet in size. The proposed annexation area would be limited to the approximate 40 acres of land owned by Eric Cabral. A copy of the preliminary subdivision map is included as Attachment B. Proposed lots 159, 128 and 127 of the tentative subdivision map, located at the southwest corner of the site, are proposed to be converted into a lot for a stormwater detention basin, see Attachment C.

ANALYSIS:

When new residential development is proposed, the City will evaluate how open space requirements will be addressed. Park facilities and maintenance cost can be addressed through any combination of the following methods.

1. Payment of City development impact fees.

2. Payment of City Park in lieu fees.

3. Dedication of land by the developer for the development of a park site.

4. Annexation to a Landscape Maintenance District.
233 of 249
2 5. Annexation to Capital Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services).

Staff and the applicant are evaluating the design of the storm water detention basin and neighborhood park. Before more time and expense is incurred with identifying potential design solutions, staff seeks Council guidance on the following for this development proposal:

A. the storm water basin design,
B. the need for a neighborhood park in this area of town, C. a possible dual use park and stormwater detention basin.

A. Stormwater Basin Considerations

1. Storm Drain Basin Standard. Presently, the City does not have a design standard for the aesthetics of a stand-alone detention basin. Presently, the City’s adopted Engineering Standards Section 7.03 only covers a stand-alone basin (see Attachment D). The standalone basin is a fenced hole that temporally stores stormwater runoff after it rains. The fencing consists of chain link perimeter with slats.

2. Existing Storm Drain Facilities. A stand-alone storm water basin is presently developed to the southwest, and adjacent, to the Cabral project site. It may be possible to combine this existing basin with a new basin that would serve the Cabral development. If merged, the existing basin will require additional grading to merge with a new basin serving the Cabral development. The City has not yet identified a cost estimate or funding source to pay for integrating the existing basin into a combined new basin.

This presents an option of developing a dual use park and storm water basin similar to the one at Joseph Gallo Park. Requiring a dual use basin serves to reduce the amount of land needed to provide for both park and stormwater facilities, while allowing the developer to contribute funding for this neighborhood amenity.

3. Storm Drain Basin Design Guidelines – Dual Use Basins. Presently, the City does not have adopted standards or guidelines for a dual use park and stormwater basin. The City of Livingston’s Storm Drainage Master Plan was prepared in 2007; unfortunately, it lost its validity when the City’s 2007 adopted General Plan was overturned by the Court. It included design guidelines for dual use basins. A copy of those guidelines is included as Attachment E.

B. Parks and Recreation Facilities
The City’s Open Space Element requires a 5 acre Neighborhood Park for every 1,000 residents. The applicant is proposing to pay impact fees/park in lieu fees and develop a stand-alone Stormwater detention basin.

The City’s current Parks and Recreation Master Plan was adopted in September 1993.

The City’s current General Plan (1999) includes a policy for developing a 5-acre neighborhood park for every 5,000 people. The proposed development is expected to generate a population of approximately 550 residents. The nearest park sites are the Max Foster Sports Complex, a community park located approximately 2,400 linear feet to the south, and Don Meyer Park located on the east side of Hammatt Avenue between Wakami Drive and Aspenglen Way, approximately 5,000 lineal feet walking distance. There are no other neighborhood parks east of Hammatt Avenue, north of State Highway 99.

Recreation staff recommends that a new neighborhood park be developed in the project site to serve this development and the residential development to the south. A neighborhood park that serves the youth of the neighborhood is recommended by the 234 of 249
3 Recreation Superintendent. Development amenities differ between a neighborhood park and a community park and have different accessibility standards (walking vs. driving). If the Council desires additional input, City staff can solicit a recommendation on the park need and design from the Recreation Commission at its August 2026 Regular meeting.

C. City Operational Costs
The development of a new park will result in additional capital and maintenance costs. With current staff, the Public Works staff is currently at capacity in maintaining the City’s existing park facilities. The Public Works department will request additional ongoing budget to fund new operation costs for additional park maintenance duties. These costs could be offset through a new Landscape and Maintenance District and annexation to Capital Facilities District 2017-01.

7.01 GENERAL
SECTION7

STORM DRAIN
Storm drainage systems shall be designed and contracted in accordance with all City Regulations, including the Storm Drainage Master Plan (including all supplements thereto), the City ofLivingstons manual of Storm Water Quality Control Standards, the Standard Specifications, and these Engineering Standards. For each development project, the design of the storm drainage system shall be of such a size to provide storm drainage capacity to adequately convey all storm water that can be reasonably anticipated to be generated for the development project, and the surrounding areas identified in the Storm Drainage Master Plan. Design Engineers are advised to review proposals, which are potentially at variance with the Master Plan with the City Engineer prior to proceeding with design studies.

Onsite drainage for commercial, industrial and residential projects not covered by Drainage Method A, B or C shall be contained within the property unless offsite disposal is approved by the City and the Developer participates in the cost of an approved drainage system that is sized to accommodate on-site drainage.

7.02 FLOW VOLUMES
The Storm Drainage Master Plan establishes a multiple criteria policy for all future drainage system design within the City. The criteria are as follows:

1. The 100-year storm is to be contained within the right-of-way of the public street.

2. The IO-year storm is to be contained within the top of the street curb.

3. Storm drainage facilities will be required where either of the above conditions cannot be satisfied.

Volumes of flow shall be determined by using the rational fonnula Q = CIA.

4. Fonnula- Q = CIA, "Q" represents the quantity of runoff expressed in cubic feet per second. "A" represents the total run-off area expressed in acres. "I" is the intensity of rainfall in inches per hour taken from an approved storm frequency curve. "C" is the coefficient of runoff. "C" for residential districts will be between 0.16 and 0.40. "C" for commercial and industrial development will be between 0.60 and 0.90.

7.03 DETENTION BASINS
Detention basins when proposed for individual development shall conform to the minimum standards outlined below:

1. Capacity shall be large enough to entrap the total runoff from a 100 year frequency - 24 hour duration stonn.

2. Basins to be designed in such a manner that the highest design water elevation will be 6 inches below the lowest gutter elevation.
